After reading the newspaper delivered by Rose Crystal, Ryan rarely mocked the two goblins opposite him. However, before the two goblins who looked like they were about to explode could ask, Dirk curiously asked: "Commander, what on earth are you doing?"
What happened?"
"Look at these newspapers. I really didn't know that the independence and freedom of goblins is so hypocritical." Ryan said, passing the newspaper in his hand, and then chatted with Rose Crystal.
In front of these guerrillas, Ryan did not hide the existence of the Rose Crystal. On the one hand, the Rose Crystal played a big role in the previous operations, and it was difficult to completely conceal her whereabouts. On the other hand, he kept the Rose Crystal
As her family member, this time is also a good opportunity for her to act openly.
As a result, Ryan discovered that the appearance of the rose crystal did surprise the guerrillas, but that was all. Later he learned that for the group of guerrillas, as an alchemist master, Ryan made a doll with his own consciousness.
They expected it. As a group of wizards who had little understanding of alchemy, they felt that there was no difference between the rose crystal and the Sorting Hat, except that their appearance was different.
This made the whole set of arguments about the origin of the rose crystal that Ryan had prepared useless at all, but on the other hand, the rose crystal also integrated into the world more easily than expected.
Dirk quickly read the newspapers, with the same surprised expression on his face. But he didn't say anything and passed the newspapers to the next person. After a few minutes, everyone in the tent read them.
Here’s what’s in this newspaper.
"How is this possible?" Finally, they handed the newspaper to the two goblins. After reading it, the two goblins opened their eyes at the same time, and the newspaper slipped from their hands and fell to the ground. "How could Gringotts give such an order? They
Are you crazy?"
On the newspaper that fell on the floor, whether it was the "British Magic" published in Hogsmeade or the "Daily Prophet" published in London, the same title was written in enlarged and black font: "Gringotts"
Announce that we will cooperate with the Ministry of Magic in London to seize and confiscate the wealth stored in Gringotts from all those who resisted in Hogsmeade."
The wizards present did not react much. The wizards who have fallen into this state are basically not born into ancient magic families. Therefore, their previous deposits in Gringotts did not have much. For them, even if they were confiscated by Gringotts
The loss of their savings was not large. At the same time, as they grew up in the Muggle world, they did not feel there was anything wrong with confiscating the enemy's funds during the war.
However, this news is unacceptable to the goblins, especially the extreme goblins like Griphook and Gnuk. This means that Gringotts, which has always been neutral, has finally been
The Death Eaters took control, and the last thing they wanted to see happened. All the previous preparations seemed to have failed.
The two goblins hugged each other and cried bitterly. On the one hand, as extremists, they could not accept this fact. On the other hand, this meant that their previous sacrifices had become meaningless. They were now crying bitterly about their seemingly dark future.
.
"How could the goblins suddenly succumb?" Hermione, who was sitting next to Ryan, asked Ryan through the Phoenix Brand. "You know that the goblins in Britain have launched so many rebellions, how come they accepted the Death Eaters so easily this time?
Where is the order?"
"I think there may be two reasons." After taking a look at the two goblins hugging each other and crying in the tent and the whispering wizards, and finding that none of them noticed him, Ryan also explained to Hermione through the Phoenix Brand
road.
"First, after such a long war, the fairies of today are no longer the same as the fairies of the past. The wizards have lost the fighting spirit of the past during the long period of peace. The fairies are similar. Even if they realize
After this point, they tried to retain their fighting spirit, but the long period of peaceful life finally made them lose the spirit of daring to fight to the death."
"Of course this is also related to the actions of wizards." Ryan pointed out a key point. "After many goblin rebellions, the goblins' Gringotts became the only financial institution in the United Kingdom and even Western Europe. By 1865, the Ministry of Magic even
Agreeing to let the goblins completely control Gringotts. With Gringotts, the bank that controls the finance of Britain and even Europe, the goblins' spirit of resistance has been greatly worn away by the wealth. In addition, through
Monopolizing the financial industry, the goblins have also gained the rights they have longed for, thereby reducing conflicts with wizards."
"You're right." Hermione suddenly thought of some knowledge. "Gringotts may not be as ancient as we thought. Only when the economy develops to a certain level will such things as banks be needed. Therefore, I even doubt that ancient
The establishment of the Ling Pavilion is all related to the wizards trying to appease the goblins."
"To be precise, one of the important reasons why the wizards let the goblins control Gringotts is to appease the goblins and at the same time kill their fighting spirit." Ryan replied, "This is why the mysterious man was able to use intimidation this time
One of the reasons for seizing control of Gringotts."
"Then what is the other reason?" Hermione asked curiously. "You just said that there are two reasons for the goblins to cooperate with the mysterious man's order this time. You said one, so what is the other reason?"
"That is the Hogsmeade branch of the Tianchao Alchemist Bank opened in Hogsmeade. Of course, for the next step of localization, Xiong Guangsu suggested naming this bank, and may further reduce their shareholding."
"Sounds like a good idea, but it has little connection with the issue we discussed!" Hermione said with some confusion.
"No, no, there is a connection." Ryan turned to Hermione and smiled, and then continued through the Phoenix Brand. "It turns out that Gringotts has always had a monopoly in the UK and places radiated by the forces of the British wizarding world. This
This monopoly brought not only money but also power to the goblins. But now, competitors have been introduced to Britain."
"Due to the threat from the mysterious man, the goblins have no way to come to Hogsmeade and compete to drive the future United Wizards Bank of Britain out of the UK. So for them, the only way to eliminate the threat of competitors is now
, the only way to safeguard their wealth and rights is to completely surrender to the mysterious man, and then join forces with the mysterious man to eradicate us."
"What about Gringotts America?" Hermione asked with some confusion, "Didn't we know a while ago that Gringotts America was the most important financial provider behind the Death Eaters? Wouldn't they come out?
Does help come through Gringotts?."
"How is that possible? Although Gringotts America still bears the Gringotts brand, they are two completely independent banks." Ryan told Hermione the information he got from the previous chat with the Weasley brothers. As the Wizarding World
A large family, many members of the Weasley family have immigrated to North America. Naturally, they also have a deep understanding of the American wizarding world.
"Don't forget, a very important supporter behind the Death Eaters this time is Gringotts in the United States. Unlike us, the controller of Gringotts in the United States is their Magical Congress, and their actions often represent the United States.
The will of the wizarding world. For example, this time they provided funds for the pure-blood families of the British wizarding community. In fact, their purpose is to weaken the British wizarding community and even the European wizarding community in order to gain the leadership position in the Western wizarding community."
"Of course because Professor Dumbledore is still alive, and to put it bluntly, because of my rise. The Americans do not want to end up personally. Just like the two world wars, they only hope to use money and resources to make us fight against ourselves.
Kill them, and then come out and dominate everything when we are all weakened."
"This is why you destroyed those manors before, right?" Hermione responded. "You are creating bad debts for those American wizards and letting them continue to suffer losses."
"Yes, the completely destroyed manors and plantations indicate that the money they lent will never be recovered. After the losses reach a certain level, the American wizarding community will most likely choose to stop the losses in time. After all, according to their goals, this kind of
Under the circumstances, they don’t want to get involved too deeply, let alone be involved in this war.” Ryan nodded and replied.
