Chapter 1671 A war without a winner (one hundred and twenty-one)
The chaotic full moon finally came to an end before the light of dawn rose from the horizon. Kingsley, who had had a hard night, held a press conference with a tired face.
It was impossible to hide this matter. As the Minister of Magic, he had to give everyone an explanation.
The reporters who had also spent the whole night at the Ministry of Magic almost put the microphone into Kingsley's mouth after he appeared. Countless doubts were blurted out, trying to get some answers from the new Minister of Magic in front of them.
Useful news.
"Mr. Minister..."
"Quiet!"
Kingsley didn't give the reporters a chance to ask questions, and directly raised his hand to suppress all the noise and questioning in the conference room.
"At present, the Ministry of Magic has successfully controlled the situation!"
"But I heard..."
"Quiet, don't let me say it a second time." Kingsley glanced at the reporter and said coldly: "I will leave you time to ask questions, but if you don't want to be asked out directly, please stay quiet."
The reporters all opened their eyes wide and looked at the Minister of Magic in front of them in disbelief. It was hard to imagine that the other party would actually say such a thing so nakedly.
Of course, they also knew why Kingsley was so unfriendly to reporters from various newspapers, so no one tried to challenge the authority of the new minister. Especially since the new minister turned the tide tonight and used strong methods to calm down the situation.
Huge chaos caused by werewolves.
"I think you should also realize that Voldemort's remnants secretly captured Muggles to create a large number of werewolves, and released the imprisoned werewolves during the full moon." Kingsley did not hide his anger, "Those idiots not only
It caused a large number of Muggle casualties, caused turmoil throughout the UK, and almost exposed the wizarding world to Muggles."
There was a burst of whispers in the conference room, and the reporters quickly focused their attention on Kingsley.
"Fortunately, this conspiracy has been contained by us." He waved his fist vigorously and said, "They will soon pay the price for their stupidity."
"But I heard..."
A reporter was about to speak, but he quickly shut up because the surrounding Ministry of Magic employees were walking towards him and politely sent him away, leaving the surrounding reporters stunned.
But Kingsley continued as if he hadn't seen it: "According to the latest statistics, our Aurors have hunted a total of 115 werewolves and successfully captured 17 werewolves alive. At the moment, our professionals are investigating the captured werewolves.
The werewolves conducted investigations and interrogations and obtained some useful intelligence, but further evidence needs to be collected."
"You killed 115 werewolves."
The reporters were also stunned by this number, and they suddenly came to their senses only after the unlucky guy who had spoken was carried out.
"Killing the werewolves directly is the fastest way to calm down the chaos, and it is also responsible for the safety of the Aurors." Kingsley glanced at the group of annoying guys in front of him and said without hesitation, "The transformed werewolves are not
You guys, capturing and killing are two completely different levels of difficulty."
"As for the follow-up processing of this matter, there is no need to worry at all. I have already sought help from the International Federation of Wizards after the disaster. Next, they will send professionals to use large-scale forgetting spells to control the situation and minimize the impact.
.”
Amidst the flashes of countless cameras, Kingsley finally began to name reporters to ask questions.
"The Ministry of Magic knew about the werewolf disaster more than a month in advance." After the reporter's name was called, he asked loudly, "Why are things like this?"
"Yes, we expected it. All the staff of the Ministry of Magic are working hard for this." Kingsley said in a tone, "But everyone thinks that we are shamefully wasting social resources and wasting the Aurors' time."
Manpower, everyone present even used the newspapers to ridicule the Ministry of Magic for doing something stupid."
This group of shameless reporters did not feel ashamed, but wrote something in their notebooks.
"Fortunately, we did not give up doing stupid things and prepared crisis plans and drills in advance to ensure that we could respond quickly after a disaster occurred."
Kingsley glanced indifferently at all the reporters present. He was not worried that these guys were trying to twist his words, because this press conference would also be broadcast simultaneously on the Ministry of Magic's radio.
The scene suddenly fell into a dead silence. Everyone could feel Kingsley's dissatisfaction with the British newspapers, but no one dared to refute rashly, at least no stupid reporter dared to jump out and openly question the Ministry of Magic.
"It's you." Kingsley pointed at another reporter casually.
"How did the Ministry of Magic know about this disaster in advance?" The reporter asked a question that many reporters wanted to know.
While they were waiting, reporters were exchanging words, so no matter who Kingsley chose, some questions would be raised.
"Mr. Albert Anderson has made relevant prophecies. There is no doubt that he is one of the greatest prophecy masters of our time. He and his partners have also made great contributions to saving our compatriots in the magical world. Next, I will give them
Apply for the Order of Merlin to thank them for their great contribution to the British wizarding community."
Kingsley had already thought of a way to deal with it. The galleons that had been agreed upon in advance were already prepared, and the so-called Order of Sir Merlin was actually more of a token of comfort and encouragement.
After all, Albert and his partners are not employees of the Ministry of Magic, let alone his subordinates. If you want others to do things for you, you must give them some benefit, whether it is money, reputation, or other things.
"I heard that a famous Auror was bitten by a werewolf during this operation." The next reporter named asked a more pointed question.
"Yes, poor Bolt was bitten by a werewolf. He has been treated at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries. His life is not in danger." Kingsley had no intention of covering up and said calmly: "No matter what
For whatever reason, the Ministry of Magic will not abandon Bolt for this reason. He will still stay in the Auror Office and continue to work for the Ministry of Magic, and will be assigned a special task. As for what job, it needs to be kept secret for now. You guys
It won’t be long before you find out.”
Everyone was a little surprised. They didn't expect Kingsley to admit this so frankly, and it seemed that he had already expected it.
The subsequent press conference was still carried out in an orderly manner. Kingsley answered the reporters' questions calmly, including why he prioritized solving the acute problem of werewolves in the Muggle world. But it is undeniable that their new minister
He is indeed very capable, at least better than his predecessors.
