Chapter 1156??British Wizards Take Priority
"The Ministry of Magic has always been aware of the current predicament of the British wizarding community, which is facing the chain reaction caused by the increasing lack of imported raw materials... The reason why we have not responded to everyone's demands before is because we are doing our best to find ways to find solutions. Prioritize working on solving this problem...and now we found it..." Owen waved his hand.
The staff of the Minister of Magic, John Bartha, took out a water pipe that had been prepared. The mist spurted out from his mouth, and the illusion formed spread in the air, and a huge world map was clearly projected in the air. , the wizard who was a little out of breath at the scene asked the wizard beside him in a low voice: "Why does Harris show us the world map? Are they planning to start a war?"
The illusion then changed. Owen waved his wand at some places on the huge world map and marked a triangle with blue. "During the long history, these areas have been either located at the junction of the magical worlds of other countries and are still remote. However, the magical communities of these countries have given up their claims to jurisdiction over these areas due to neighborhood relations or difficulty in development... Just like The unattended forest in Albania where Voldemort used to hide, or the Delia Island in the northernmost part of Scotland, because there are XXXXX level five-legged monsters that are particularly fond of cannibalism and have reddish-brown hair on their bodies and legs, so these The island has never been plotted on the map, and we have not sent personnel to manage it..." Owen said with a smile on his face, "But according to our investigation, there are some raw materials in these areas that we currently lack... Although these are still completely untapped and will not completely solve all our problems, we in the UK currently have the ability to solve these troubles to help us delay our current urgent needs."
This statement by the British Minister of Magic caused some excitement. Although many wizards did not realize what this was going to do, some quick-thinking ones already felt proud or panicked. Sirius, who was also among the members following the Minister of Magic, who was listening to Owen's speech, suddenly understood when he saw this. He whispered to the female boss next to him, "Josephine, the information you asked me to give to Ellen, Is that what it’s for?”
"Call me Director Harris!" Auntie straightened her sunhat angrily, "Shut up!"
"Many people are curious about why Hogwarts suddenly started moving to where?" Owen smiled confidently. "The British Ministry of Magic is currently negotiating with Hogwarts and the Umbrella. Now the British Ministry of Magic will authorize the Umbrella Company to The above-mentioned unmanaged sites are being developed, and since other countries can’t manage them, let’s take charge of them.”
Seeing that the Ministry of Magic had given practical methods to solve the problem, and estimated that the lack of raw materials should be solved, some workshop owners who were facing suspension of work looked much more relaxed. They calculated that although the materials in these places would not be collected immediately, it might not be possible. He can fully find all the resources he needs, but compared with the despair he was in before, it is obvious that there is finally hope of recovery - the only risk is the attitude of other countries, and the British Ministry of Magic can respond to this No matter how determined they are, at least Harris's style reassures them.
"Damn! This is completely random! No one cares about these places, but these places are even surrounded by other countries!" Burst, who was hiding in the protesting crowd, was shocked and couldn't help but jump out to object, "What are you doing? Do you want the UK to rob other countries?!!”
"Mr. Bosted, as I explained at the beginning, I have to remind you that the places we have chosen are all unregulated areas. Since they can't control them themselves, let us have the ability to control them... This It can also help to comply with the "Secrecy Act", because Muggles stray into and disappear from time to time in these places, attracting the attention of Muggles..." Owen withdrew his wand, straightened his back, and said in a decisive and powerful voice, "And to tell the truth, if A thief steals your things, a robber robs your goods, and you take your own things back, then are you considered a thief?"
There were already many more radical wizards in the audience, and they began to applaud enthusiastically because of Britain's tough style and solution to the problem. Some wizards who had participated in the protest before threw the slogans and protest signs aside.
Upon hearing that the floating city was being relocated to solve the problem of raw materials, the workshop owners in need of raw materials immediately cheered: the female owner of the Diagon Alley pet shop Magic Zoo wearing thick black-rimmed glasses could not even control her joy and moved the people around her. The wizard hugged his arms full. The most indispensable thing in these primitive and unmanned areas was wild magical animals; some pure-blood workshop owners who originally only wanted to do business quietly had some outgoing personalities, and even took out Weasley Whoosh. A swish of fireworks was set off to celebrate.
Alfred Crawford, the butler of the Burke family, took off his coat with some irritation and said to Burst next to him: "This farce of forced possession will escalate the already tense world situation again! Even It will be regarded as an invasion by these countries and trigger further conflicts. What is even more dangerous is that it may push the UK to the brink of war! Do you want to risk the fate of our UK on your own initiative?"
"You need to be clear about one thing, Mr....Butler of the Bock family?" Owen emphasized the word "butler" very hard. "This matter was not started by us in the UK. We in the UK are just taking the lead in the secrets of magic. We have reached the forefront, and as mentioned before, we are still helping other countries maintain the enforcement of security and confidentiality laws, and helping them develop magic technology..." Owen said sternly with anger on his face, "But how do they repay us? Just Suddenly united and wanted us to hand over more with some bandit gestures? Trying to stop us from developing? And our current approach has been very restrained... I don't have our people to go to forcefully open the blockade on us, although we have the reason and strength to do so Do... We took a more prudent approach for peace and chose those neutral areas to be self-reliant... As for the tension in world relations and their attitudes..." He nodded confidently, "I am the Minister of the British Ministry of Magic, and my responsibility is to prioritize Looking after our own wizarding needs, that's what British wizards expect from our magical government, that's first and foremost... As for what other countries think and don't feel offended, those of you at the beginning of the embargo raw material I don’t care what the family that went out of business thinks when they still had enough. But now we are just taking back what we need from these unattended places under such unreasonable sanctions, and it is legal and legal. …My policy is that British wizards come first. Do you think there’s anything wrong with that? Mr. Burke’s butler?”
The crowd burst into louder cheers and applause, and even many members of the Ministry of Magic behind Owen slapped the table - after the problem has been solved, regardless of whether it is justice in nature, the wizards now need to give speeches to make them feel He is righteous.
"British wizards first! Get our own things back!"
"Our current suffering is caused by these foreign countries!"
“And those family traitors!
Pure-blood wizards such as Bosted and Alfred looked around and saw the reactions of the wizards around them. They were worried and wanted to find a point where they could break the situation and counterattack - if Britain is really so tough now, they would find it now. The channel can obtain raw materials and materials that are not available in the UK, which is very likely to eventually completely resolve the crisis caused by the embargo. Then the plans for Harris that these pure-blood families have discussed before are very likely to She will be forced to have an abortion.
"Minister Harris, it would be too much to take it for granted simply to rely on these undeveloped and desolate places to get through the difficulties! The output of these areas is not enough to restore the production and operation of the entire British wizarding world to normal. ...If these barren lands were really rich in products, they wouldn't have waited for us to develop them now..." After Alfred wiped the sweat from his forehead, UU Reading www. uukanshu.net finally came up with a reason to directly stand up and question Owen, "What's more, the types of materials in these places should not be complete, and there are also a lot of materials that require wizards from other countries to use their unique techniques to carry out the second step. Only with the following processing can we apply it to our production. There is no way to completely lift the embargo crisis we are facing." The housekeeper of the Bock family spoke louder and louder, "If our wizards did not stop the loss in time, instead If more production costs are invested but the final resources cannot keep up, then the losses faced by these wizards will be more serious. Minister Harris, have you considered these issues?"
The enthusiasm that originally arose was like being poured cold water on them. The wizards did not know what the output of these places was. They were afraid that this was a promise made by the Ministry of Magic.
Compared to the increasingly harsh and excited tone of the other party, Owen's voice was calm and composed: "You are right, as you said, the resources we have found now are indeed not enough to meet the needs of the entire British magical community... This cannot Solve all the economic problems of our wizards..." Then the Minister of Magic smiled at the crowd, "But in addition... we are not the only method... In addition to the problem of raw materials for magic products, we also have a A series of economic recovery plans are about to be implemented... I think it would be better for Miss Hermione Granger, the president of the Umbrella Company, to explain the specific situation in detail..."
