Chapter 1370 ? Proposal
Facing the somewhat rude behavior of the representatives of the Russian Federation, Owen took a sip of the wine in the goblet in a nonchalant manner.
"It's a very instructive suggestion, but we can talk about it later, let's talk about the federation itself first..." Owen put down his glass, turned his head and continued to ask others, "I think apart from us in the UK, everyone has also Are you annoyed by the endless warnings and complaints from various members of the International Federation of Wizards? Speaking of which, I have to admit that I miss Dumbledore's time as president..."
"Owen, that's right...the International Federation of Wizards was not as messy as it is now when Lord Dumbledore was the president..." Karkaroff immediately echoed, "A powerful wizard like Dumbledore is A kind of deterrence, let the members settle down... Now the federation is reporting each other like crazy, even the students in my school can be reported if they go swimming..."
"Owen, do you want Albus to come back?" Mrs. Maxim asked suspiciously. She had heard some news before and received requests from ministers from countries who were not present today, but she knew that Demps Just as Lido rejected their choice, Beauxbaton did not choose to directly confront Britain.
"Mr. Dumbledore is too old now, he is semi-retired in the floating city, and he is living a very comfortable life, and he himself has no intention of running for the chairman..." Owen shook his head and continued, "Actually, I I think my son Alan is a very suitable candidate to succeed the president, after all, he is the most powerful wizard in the world, and I think no one has the qualifications than him."
"I agree with Allen as the new president. In terms of strength, he can even defeat the mysterious man; in terms of ability, the current prosperity of Floating City and Hogwarts is obvious to all. He will serve as the president of the International Federation of Wizards. There will be development, and the prospect is promising." Karkaroff's false voice was sweet and sweet, and he praised enthusiastically and began to show his loyalty.
The Russian witch Petrova Pokov said harshly: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Alan Harris refused when he floated that great city, and offered to resign at that time. President Babajid's proposal to give him the position of chief...in addition, this proposal itself is not quite in line with the legal process."
"Of course, as far as Alan's temperament is concerned, he actually doesn't like trouble very much, so in fact he is not interested in being the president of the International Federation of Wizards..." Owen said with a smile, and then reminded, "But just because In this way, after he and the former Mr. Dumbledore become the president, I think everyone's life will be more peaceful..."
The faces of many wizards here did show nostalgia and exhaustion. When members warned and complained to each other, it became a habit to deal with this and avoid sanctions. The troublesome thing-after all, not all countries can face sanctions and penalties like the United Kingdom and have the strength to remain indifferent.
"The French Ministry of Magic is also willing to support Principal Alan Harris as the president." Minister Binoche gracefully put down the cup in her hand to express her attitude.
Because she is very sure that this matter cannot be accomplished with the support of a few countries, and the hostile attitude towards Britain faced by other countries is not comparable to that before the rise of the floating city-even if these people are invited to come here today. Countries with normal diplomacy will not agree easily, and even if they agree, the members of the federation who have not come today will not agree.
So the situation after the scene remained silent, the wizards did not express their position, and the idea of rejecting the UK was basically written on their faces.
"If Principal Harris serves as the president, I am personally willing to support it..." The high priest of India Kusrapari shook his head hypocritically to express his support, and then changed the topic, "It's just that there is a whole country behind me, and I need to have enough Reasons to persuade them to agree to my decision." He drew his tone, "And I think Minister Harris should not be unclear about the possibility of this matter being successful...even if the British magic community is now powerful, it is not On behalf of other countries, especially those who oppose the UK, will therefore follow your arrangements."
Although the accent of the Indians is a bit heavy, when it comes to the key points that the representatives present are concerned about, although they miss that period of peace, this reason is not enough to convince them to support the UK, because it will make the UK, which has started to be great again, even more It cannot be controlled, and Allen's becoming a minister will not only bring little benefit to other countries, but may also be constrained by it.
"We are very sincere about this." Owen smiled, and said the conditions clearly, "First of all, if Alan is the president, those endless warnings should be stopped... Except for the International Federation of Wizards Maintaining secrecy beyond the law should focus on its other role...the UK will advocate with IWC members to play a role for the IWC itself while assisting ministries of magic and their respective Muggle governments in doing business The corresponding supervisory role it has..."
"I think we, the magical countries that are currently relatively loose in terms of wealth, should take more responsibilities here." Binoche turned his eyes to look at Owen, and his tone was a bit hasty compared to usual.
The implication of this French female minister is that the big countries will jointly monopolize the economy of the entire international magic world, and it will be more in their interests to prevent those small countries from participating in the control power. Dissatisfied and angry, but noticed that the representatives of those powerful Ministry of Magic countries nodded repeatedly, but they couldn't make more rebuttals.
However, more wizards who were lazily sitting on chairs and mocking the previous British proposals suddenly regained their spirits: the cooperation between the British Ministry of Magic and Muggles is in full swing, which makes many people jealous, but it is just wandering after all. Playing around the edge of the "Protection Law" may have violations, and it will be easy to be seized and attacked-and many countries that are not as powerful as the United Kingdom, which can play hooligans with the Federation, are still very scrupulous about the secrecy law and sanctions.
And as Owen said, it becomes an opportunity for the Wizarding Union itself to openly support the business between the Ministry of Magic and Muggles, so that it can grab huge profits. It is indeed a temptation-but this does not require Britain, Requires Alan Harris to be president to execute.
At this time, Owen just responded with a conciliatory smile to the French female minister, and then in order to match his firm tone, he gestured with his index finger, "Secondly, the establishment of our wizard bank in the floating city has proved that wizards control their own country. The benefit of the economic lifeline, if Allen is elected as the president, then the UK will also assist the International Federation of Wizards, assist various magical countries, and establish banks under the jurisdiction of the magical governments of various countries... and as the sponsoring country, the UK will have the responsibility to support some strengths Wretched nations make sure they can do this...without being bothered by non-wizard beings."
This kind of proposal, which almost showed their attitude towards goblins, filled the scene with gasped voices. Later, some wizards cheered happily. Some wizards from small countries changed their attitude just now, and even praised Owen. Stop talking, struggling to express my gratitude.
Because no matter how envious they are, they know that they have no power to compete with the global goblins. If they can control the economic lifeline of their country with the help of a powerful country, they will undoubtedly win great benefits for their country—especially It is under the premise that the Federation will support the secret cooperation between wizards and the Muggle government in the future.
Madame Maxime turned the opal ring faster, and Binoche looked at Owen with some admiration... These wizards chewed Owen's words that sounded very impartial in their hearts, and understood Harris' plan. According to Owen's plan, those magic kingdoms with weak national power, no matter whether they come today or not, will want to rely on the support of Britain and change their attitudes—if they want gold.
And Karkaroff did not say anything and waited for the follow-up, because this kind of proposal did not have much substantive benefits for the country with such a strong government, and although he did not get much information beforehand, but he was familiar with Harris' style He also knew that things were not that simple, and since they were invited, the matter would definitely be resolved.
"This is a good thing for the wizarding world..." High Priest Kuslapari pressed one arm on the table, "Our current energy is more focused on our own development, so if it's just like this... I don't know. I can't give a satisfactory explanation to the wizards of India..."
"Let's put it bluntly. Like us in Russia, we can build wizard banks on our own, and we can deal with the troubles of goblins ourselves. Whether other countries can establish or not has nothing to do with us." Pokov was as direct as ever. .
Owen was not angry. On the contrary, he said excitedly to the big witch, "Of course, we have corresponding proposals for a country like you, Pokov, who still has enough power..."
