Chapter 1460 ?? Everything Else Can Be Given Up
The guards in the hall were among the Aurors on the highest circle of the parliament. Ian's eyes were bloodshot, and his fingernails were deeply dug into his palms. He was just a guard, not a member of parliament. He was forbidden to make a sound on such occasions. Yes, it is even more impossible to express his feelings directly like them, which made him uncomfortable as if his throat, heart, and chest were firmly blocked after returning to China.
Ian knew that he was being used by the missing Gangfushi, and participated in the attack like a ghost. Although he woke up at the last moment, he still killed many people and even made his own sister Jessica almost disfigured...
On the British side, because of his personal relationship with Allen, Ian was not held accountable and was given more protection. On the American side, because of the secrecy of the operation, even many radicals themselves did not know the arrangement of the attack. There is no name on the list, and no control measures have been taken...
Even his uncle Leonard, who had reminded him before, did not complain about him as he had imagined after he came back, but just kept comforting and enlightening him, but in the face of the current situation, he has not been blamed by others, and Ian still can't get over it no matter what This level in my heart-Harris is going to launch a war against the United States, and the country will suffer such a catastrophe. I have to say that it is because of the actions of their radicals before...
"I'm on the Brit list too! It's okay for me to kiss dementors for the sake of our wizarding citizens of America...but I have to remind everyone that Harris's appetite is not that small! Their intention is not to Our insignificant lives, in addition to handing them over to others, I am afraid that Ilvermorny will eventually hand them over!" The radical Congressman Donald stood up abruptly. He stretched out his thick neck and snorted coldly, " I heard that Hogwarts has prepared three chains, except that Beauxbatons and Durmstrang are chained, and now there is one free!"
The matter of Ilvermorny was brought up by Donald, and now the Conservative Party and the neutrals, who had been at the top, were silent. No one wanted to be a sinner in the history of American magic, and be nailed to the pillar of shame in history and be criticized forever.
At this time, Leonard, who had been silent until now, glanced at Ebosta, who was as immobile as a clock, and was in a daze. He pulled his bow tie, stood up and said loudly to himself, "Everyone, I want to I have something to say."
Members looked at Leonard who stood up. Although he was not easy to provoke in the Ministry of Magic and was famous for duels when he was young, his personal political views were indeed conservative, and he had always been He has shown a style of being close to Harris. Now that he stands up to speak, he probably wants to persuade everyone to surrender more blatantly.
"Gentlemen, I have to admit that in the face of the demands of Britain...or now the Magic Kingdom, I don't think we can boast to our American wizarding citizens, tell them, tell them that we are strong enough to defend against all of this..." Leonard said with a face of shame.
The members of the House of Representatives in the audience nodded clearly. This is also the most practical issue now. Although Germany has not recovered from the problem of the first generation of the Dark Lord, but this time it lost so quickly against Bulgaria, and it is basically nothing. If resistance is lost, these American wizards are completely terrified,
Even though the United States has been thriving since the Salem Witch Trials, because the vastness of the land has always been regarded as a powerful country in the wizarding world, but facing Hogwarts, which has begun to have a regular army, these congressmen who are still sober It's not as blind as those passionate civilians outside who shout that America is invincible.
"However, I have to remind everyone that it is something we must see...or face up to. Our Ilvermorny, a magic school, cannot satisfy their appetite. This is my advice to that Minister Owen. Understand... You should know that he comes from the house of the terrible aunt Gormley Gaunt, the founder of Ilvermorny, Aesop Searle, the house of the most ambitious Slytherin house." Leonard wrinkled Frowning, he looked around at the surprised wizards in the conference hall, "In fact, no matter what kind of compromise we make...even if we hand over the annoying Congressman Donald and his people, and build us in In the 17th century, the alma mater at the top of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, handed over...they would not give up their intention to occupy the entire territory of the United States...so now the tone is discussing responsibility, what we should do is to do everything we can to defend our hometown."
A relatively young conservative next to Ebosta questioned angrily in a low voice: "Leonard, are you under the spell of fascination? The United Kingdom, not to mention France, has not even occupied Bulgaria. As long as there is a school, it will be let go." The other party, why would they spend so much effort to occupy us, they occupied Germany, I think it's just those Harris who took their hometown back..."
"Neville, I don't think you can't miss this, the fact that they didn't occupy France proves that their target is us America... If they occupy France, they can't continue their aggressive behavior for the same reason ...the rest of the world wouldn't let the UK go on endlessly with this raid...so they chose the smarter way, besides giving up France, they gave Bulgaria to his current 'friends' in exchange for Support for our actions..." Leonard said calmly, but raised his voice slightly, "The situation in the United States is different from that in France. Our territory is far wider than Germany and France, and our materials are unique and abundant... This is why the United Kingdom will The reason why we are bound to win... As long as we occupy our apprentices, they will be able to basically be self-sufficient in the future. The previous economic sanctions against the United Kingdom will not take effect, and that situation will naturally not happen in the future. Once again..."
This silenced the wizards present. As far as Leonard said, as politicians, they had indeed flashed such thoughts in their minds. Even with Dumbledore's certainty, he deceived himself and others did not want to believe it.
But now Leonard said it bluntly, and unreservedly analyzed the reason in person.
The neutrals who were inclined to make friends before began to whisper and talk about Leonard's words. The conservatives did not speak, but the horrified eyes proved to have shaken their views.
Since the United Kingdom is interested in the territory of the United States and wants material resources, it means that everyone sitting here has no choice but to fight. Otherwise, let alone nothing, even the American magic world itself will not exist.
And those radical wizards who were under the attack of conservatives and neutrals before, who also felt that they had done something wrong and planned to break the pot, and wanted to sacrifice themselves to meet the requirements of the United Kingdom, had renewed confidence on their faces. My own purpose is good, even if the means are a bit frizzy, but the attitude I have always insisted on towards Britain is correct.
"We need to be clear that the current strength of the British magic community is the number one in the world. This is unarguable and we need to face it squarely, especially after it annexed Germany... We must be aware that the threat of our next invasion in the UK Survive in the middle of the world... Even if we don't get much help from the international community, even if we have to pay a terrible price to end the struggle, but anyway, that is what we have to fight, otherwise the United States will not exist in the future, but will become AI Mr. Len Harris's new crown." Leonard said with a heavy but serious tone, he turned to the rostrum, "Mr. Chairman Picquery, I hope that the Congress will be mobilized immediately... try to unite those After the attack on the dueling arena, the small countries that did not get any benefits, contact those countries that have had conflicts with the UK before...even those goblins that were hit hard by the wizarding banking industry...Do your best to achieve brotherhood A coalition of mutual help."
"Leonard, don't forget that we also opened a bank that belongs to wizards, those goblins..." Donald said loudly. In fact, the radicals controlled the new banking industry during this reform, and he understood the meaning of the other party's words. emphasized.
"Wizard Bank can be given up when necessary, and everything else can be given up, but the American magic community cannot give up!" Leonard slapped the table to interrupt Donald's words, "Now whether we are conservative or radical Or other factions, we must work together for a common goal and defend our land to the death, if we all do our part, don't neglect a mistake, and make the best and best arrangements, we will be able to prove ourselves , able to defend our hometown and let him weather the storm of war safely."
