Chapter 1702 A War Without Winners (One Hundred and Fifty-Two)
The letters and Christmas gifts sent out soon received replies. Adults did not insist on whether they received gifts on Christmas Day. After all, the correspondence and gifts were just a way for both parties to maintain their relationship.
In return, Albert also received a large number of Christmas gifts in advance, a large part of which were books.
As for the content of the letters, they were actually similar, marveling at Albert's ability to kill Voldemort, or talking about the book "Guide to Defense Against the Dark Arts".
Of course, some people introduced him to the good places in their country worth visiting because Albert mentioned in the letter that he was going to travel around the world.
"I heard that you are going to travel around the world next summer?" Kingsley asked knowingly, and specially invited Albert to visit the island prepared for werewolves.
"You are well-informed." Albert did not expose it. He looked at the island in front of him carefully and asked Kingsley with his head tilted: "How many werewolves have registered their identities?"
"Not many, just a few."
Kingsley did not feel embarrassed when his sore spot was touched.
"Two?"
Albert could probably guess what was going on, and could also guess why Kingsley asked him to visit the future werewolf village.
If the werewolf plan failed, Kingsley would become a laughing stock, so he would never allow that to happen.
He really didn't have any good ideas, but Kingsley believed Albert must have them.
"Almost!"
Kingsley didn't look at Albert, but looked at the village under construction and said, "We still need some time, and it's still a bit difficult to cultivate here."
"We are wizards, aren't we? This kind of thing is not a difficult thing."
Many small islands really can't grow or breed on a large scale, but they can use the traceless extension spell to directly expand a large area of space.
"You know, we can't invest too much money before we see the results." Kingsley was quite helpless about this. He found that after investing in construction, it cost more Galleons than expected.
Even if the Ministry of Magic can get a lot of building materials for free from Muggles, it is still a very time-consuming and laborious thing to build here.
"You should have some confidence in yourself." Albert said directly.
"Tell me what you think!"
Kingsley also knew that if he didn't speak directly, Albert would probably choose to play dumb.
"Opinion?"
Albert stopped and repeated with his head tilted.
"If there are not enough werewolves, you can consider cooperating with other ministries of magic."
"Your idea is really whimsical. Unless they see the effect here, no one will be willing to cooperate at all. The world has never been that simple, otherwise I..."
"Of course I know."
Albert interrupted Kingsley's endless complaints.
"This is an alternative Azkaban prison. As long as it is gentle and violent enough, I believe the werewolves will be willing to lower their heads. Of course, it depends on how much courage you have and how much you are willing to invest here."
"This..." Kingsley hesitated.
"And the lack of credibility itself is a very troublesome thing." Albert reminded.
"It takes time to restore the credibility of the Ministry of Magic."
Kingsley didn't have any good way to deal with this. It was a mess left by the previous ministers. It was really not his problem.
"But I can't wait, and I can't afford the cost of failure."
After saying that, Kingsley took out a notebook from his pocket. No matter what, he had to solve the problem of werewolves not willing to register.
However, Albert's method was quite explosive, at least for Kingsley, but he seemed to have no other choice.
Under the authorization of the Ministry of Magic, major newspapers began to report on the "Werewolf Village" in a unified manner. Anyway, it was a big pie for the werewolves, such as solving the employment problem of werewolves.
As long as you register, you can get a job: build your own home.
In general, it is beneficial to werewolves.
As for werewolves who are unwilling to join, if they are caught later, they may face the risk of being shot directly (during the full moon period).
Anyway, the Ministry of Magic intends to let werewolves choose between sweet dates and big sticks.
After these reports were published, the entire British magic world was instantly in an uproar, and everyone realized the Ministry of Magic's sincerity in dealing with werewolves.
But it was still useless.
There was no way, this was no longer a problem of lack of credibility.
So Kingsley was forced to throw the most heavy bomb: bounty.
As long as you report a werewolf, you can get 50 Galleons.
So, the whole British magic world was boiling.
Everyone was frantically looking for the traces of werewolves.
Under the high pressure of the Ministry of Magic, the werewolves in Britain no longer had much choice.
Either they were controlled during the full moon, or they left the British magic world directly, or... they died. What made the werewolves most uncomfortable was that once you were caught for reporting, your salary for the next year would be gone, and part of it would be used to pay the reward for reporting yourself.
This is also the main reason why the Ministry of Magic is not stingy with the reward, anyway, they don't have to pay this Galleon.
As for being caught by the Ministry of Magic and still not willing to work?
Of course, you will die.
The crime has been thought of long ago: endangering social security.
As long as more chickens are killed to scare monkeys to other werewolves, naturally no werewolves will dare to do it.
As for the reputation, there is no need to worry about it. If you want to solve the werewolf problem, you must use extraordinary means.
And the Ministry of Magic has given you two chances. If you don't catch them and get killed, you deserve it.
The most important thing is that with the collective endorsement of newspapers in the entire British magic world, the whole society has formed a trend.
Kingsley, who promoted the werewolf plan, received rave reviews.
It must be said that Albert's approach is quite effective. Except for a small number of werewolves who registered with the Ministry of Magic, most of the rest werewolves were forced to join because they were reported by people around them.
Not only is it a thousand-dollar horse bone, but it is also killing a chicken to warn the monkey.
Anyone who wants to challenge the authority of the Ministry of Magic has become a chicken to warn the monkey.
Among them, there was an unlucky guy who tried to escape because he was reported, but was shot dead on the spot by the Auror who was fishing for law enforcement.
The one who did it was Bolt. Since he was bitten, Mr. Auror has hated those werewolves who are unwilling to cooperate and intend to cause harm.
This incident quickly spread throughout the Ministry of Magic and caused a great impact, but after being embellished in the newspapers, the radical actions of the Aurors were soon understood by everyone.
If you have lycanthropy, it is really not your problem, but if you have lycanthropy and want to try to turn others into werewolves, then you really deserve to die.
If you deserve to die, then you should die.
