Chapter 731 The situation is getting better

After talking with Mrs. Greengrass, Ryan and Hermione returned to the main building of the manor. For them, after leaving the manor for half a month, they now have a lot of things to do, and there is not much time to waste on other things.

superior.

They now have a lot of things to be busy with, including but not limited to the making of potions and props, the training of some followers, and discussing certain things about the current situation with the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic and Principal Dumbledore.

.

The best news recently is that the economic strength of Voldemort's side has been suppressed to a very low level due to the persistent strategic sabotage of Ryan and others in the past few months. Especially at least 80% of the manors and factories belong to those pure-blood families.

After the castle was completely destroyed, Gringotts in the United States could not afford such losses and chose to withdraw from the United Kingdom. This also caused serious problems in Voldemort's economic chain.

Naturally, Voldemort, who has been battered by various attacks, really does not have the energy or the strength to go find those Americans. In this case, they even need to use a small amount of money from their already small budget to advance payment.

To compensate the Americans for part of their losses, so that the Americans will not fall in the direction of Hogsmeade.

One of the main reasons for Voldemort's current predicament is that Gringotts in the United States is a private organization. They can cooperate with MACUSA to perform some tasks, but if it is unprofitable or even necessary to lose money, they cannot make sacrifices, let alone once

If you really anger a wizard of Ryan or Dumbledore's caliber, you may lose more than just money.

Therefore, the wizards in the United States are now adhering to the idea of ​​​​making a profit and disrupting the British wizarding world as much as possible. They have begun to threaten Voldemort for money to make up for their losses by turning to the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic.

.

The Death Eaters naturally understood what the Americans were thinking. However, in order to prevent the Americans from suddenly switching sides to Hogsmeade and causing a large-scale collapse of their own side, Voldemort had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill.

"The mysterious man now actually started asking people who took refuge in him to hand over their wealth. A medium-sized dark wizard organization from Albania angered the mysterious man because it wanted to leave with the money it earned. As a result, everyone in the entire organization was executed on the spot."

Hermione's eyes widened as she read the piece of information from the Order of the Phoenix. "Don't he know that in this case, everyone except extremely loyal people like Bella will have a rebellious heart towards him?"

"I think even if the mysterious man doesn't have much soul left now, he should know that the things he did will be very bad in the long run." Ryan spread his hands. "But the biggest difference between wizards and ordinary people is that they

For wizards, strength is the most important thing, and the mysterious man is confident that he can turn his subordinates' wallets into his own through his strong strength even if he doesn't have a penny."

"Not just a wallet." Hermione turned to the next page, then pointed to a paragraph and read: "According to reports from observers in Diagon Alley, the mysterious man led people directly into Gringotts and killed more than a dozen.

The goblins blocked the road and then moved away a large amount of currency and treasures. Now Gringotts in the UK has suffered heavy losses."

"Those losses in wealth are just trivial matters. You must know that the core of a bank is credibility, and now Gringotts has lost their credibility. Even if the wealth can be recovered after the war, Gringotts will not return to the past.

status." Ryan was not too surprised by Voldemort's move, because his actions were completely within Ryan's expectations.

Gringotts was established by the goblins after their defeat. On the one hand, it was to appease the goblins and avoid periodic goblin rebellions. On the other hand, it was ordered to provide free financial services to wizards and create wealth for them.

But the goblins are naturally not objects of plunder by wizards like house elves. Over the years, they have accumulated a large amount of wealth through various financial means. At the same time, they have naturally learned to interact with those in the Ministry of Magic.

Powerful pure-blood wizards collude, exchanging wealth for protection from the Ministry of Magic as they extract money.

This method of waving money around has gained the goblins countless wealth, and at the same time it has also worn down their will. In particular, although the goblins are immortals, their lifespan is ultimately limited. The new generation of goblins today has not experienced this.

Due to the flames of war, there was not much courage left to fight to the end. Therefore, after Voldemort killed people and established his power, these goblins naturally chose to succumb.

For a standard blood discriminator like Voldemort, even human hemp wizards are considered inferior creatures, let alone these non-human creatures. In his eyes, goblins and house elves are nothing.

The difference is that they should all be slaves of pure-blood wizards. So naturally he would not worry about the impact and directly take out the wealth that he felt should belong to him from Gringotts.

"This can be considered some kind of good news." After the shock, Hermione said in a narrative tone, "The pure-blood family had monopolized the entire financial industry in the wizarding world before, and now the mysterious man has a strong influence on Gringotts.

The two blows almost completely destroyed the credit of the goblins, so it is basically a foregone conclusion that the United Wizards Bank of Britain will replace Gringotts in Hogsmeade after the war."

"In other words, the mysterious man helped us clear the biggest obstacle to seizing control of the British financial system." At this point, Hermione stood up and said excitedly. "Gringotts has always been a neutral institution, and the goblins almost never

Will participate in the human civil war. So I have been worried that if those pure-blood families rise quickly with the help of Gringotts after the war, our war will be in vain."

"It will definitely not be in vain. You are too worried." Ryan comforted. "Because even if they have money, they don't have enough manpower to support them. After we provide enough jobs, those hemp wizards will

There is no need to support oneself by dressing up as a pure-blood family. There are very few people in the pure-blood family itself, and this time we have eliminated some of them, and it will take a long time for the remaining people to return to their current level."

"You are right, I did think too much." Hermione paused and took out a letter from the bottom of the pile of letters, "By the way, here is a letter from Principal Dumbledore.

Our letter. He hopes that we and he can inform each other of the course of action to avoid accidental damage from both sides in the chaos."

"That's a good idea." Ryan nodded. "We and the Order of the Phoenix often carry out surprise attacks at night. When the line of sight is unclear and everyone is nervous, what if we really choose the same target?

If you do, it will be easy for your own people to fight first."

"But it's very simple to solve it." At this time, Ryan thought of the small toy that the 101st Airborne Division brought when they landed in Normandy during World War II. "I first made a batch of badges. As long as the badges are close to each other, they will light up or vibrate. In this way, every time

Expatriate personnel only need to bring two of them, so they don’t need to worry about accidental injuries.”

The rest of life returned to a routine again. On the one hand, it was because after a long period of attacks, Ryan and the others destroyed 80% of the targets and nearly 90% of the production capacity of the pure-blooded wizards in the south.

As the number of destroyed places increases, the places that the Death Eaters need to protect also decrease. Each of the remaining points is guarded by a number of dark wizards. In this case, it is actually difficult to ensure that the attack can be continued.

To achieve this, there is almost no loss.

On the other hand, it may be that the persistent attacks by Ryan and others after the war began have hit Voldemort too hard, so there has been much less movement from Voldemort and the Ministry of Magic in London in the recent period. It seems that it is because of their strength.

Therefore, Ryan and the others could not find many targets.

In short, this boring and monotonous life was only broken by a letter from Hogwarts in mid-April. This letter was mailed by Dumbledore, who invited Ryan to go to Hogwarts to discuss some important matters.

.

"It seems that this boring life is finally over," Ryan said after receiving the letter, waving the letter to Hermione who was sitting next to her drinking tea, "Maybe this war will be over soon."
