Chapter 1378? Reception

A few days later, on the Hogwarts Floating City, the umbrella was moved to the president's office on the highest floor of the headquarters. It uses full floor-to-ceiling glass windows. At a glance, you can see the scenery around the floating city university. Compared with the more magical architectural styles around it, the headquarters as a whole is more Muggle and modern because of the president's origin and preferences.

In Hermione's rarely used office, many wizards related to Harris were already sitting in the office due to the changes after Allen became the president of the Wizards' Federation, although many of them were here for the first time.

After using the projector to play a lot of icons and a series of data reports that most of the wizards present could not understand, Hermione straightened her back, her cheeks were rosy, and her tone and tone were slightly raised, with a hint of excitement. Happy energy: "With the establishment of the global trade network, materials will no longer be a problem. In fact, we can make a lot of money just by being the largest logistics center for transit. More importantly, no matter whether they have floating cities or not, as long as the trade network is formed They will no longer have any reason to be hostile to us."

Even though Britain had a strong position in the past, Britain was isolated by other countries and was surrounded by hostile countries. This made Hermione wonder if it was her own side that was at fault. But now other countries have suddenly changed their attitudes. Britain's Hermione, whose international situation had changed drastically from before, understood why Allen had the courage to be hostile to most countries in the world, and admired Allen even more.

"If there is no problem with the supplies..." The quill in Lunn's hand was spinning between his fingers. He paused and said with a slightly more serious tone, "Now that trade has been restored and sanctions have ended, we have to deal with the things that were mixed at the borders of various countries. Isn’t it necessary to invest too much in the development of the areas in between? They seem to have little economic value. Of course, the investment has been invested and should not be wasted. Can it be maintained as a deterrent? "

"Len, your point of view is very reasonable, but I want to express my thoughts from another angle." Grindelwald rubbed his fingers across the neatly trimmed beard on his face and bowed slightly behind him. , "These places are indeed a bit out of the way, but it is recommended that we directly use these places as one of the main strongholds for the establishment of the local permanent portal..." He looked at the confused Lunn and smiled. Laughs, "I think we need to invest more in developing these places in remote rural areas, and because they are not big, we can even try to make it look better than most of the cities in these countries themselves..."

"Not a bad arrangement." Allen praised with certainty. Now that his intelligence has been further improved, even if he hardly spends his mind on these things, he instantly fully understands Grindelwald's thoughts. "In countries like France or Russia, For the magical kingdoms that we are close to or relatively powerful, these pioneering areas will allow them to focus on their business responsibilities without going too far, and those that are not so powerful... Let them not be able to do without us first, but if there are some wizards with enough talent If there is not enough development platform in the local area...it will not be troublesome to expand the floating city, and the current scale is far from complaining..."

"Oh, you are talking about the population..." Lunn's mind started to change after being mentioned like this. He quickly understood the other person's thoughts and followed his train of thought, "When they get used to having Britain around them... they get used to it here. and dependence, so that when those backward areas see that even this barren land can develop into something they envy, they can live a coveted British life..."

Other wizards also recognized Grindelwald's concept. Hermione is no longer the naive little witch she used to be. She is already familiar with seeking benefits for herself under the premise of justice. As the president of the company, she has used it seriously. The quill recorded on the parchment, intending to go back and try to figure out the details of the plan that could benefit as many people as possible.

"I don't have any objections to these plans, but as an Auror, I want to give Albert a long vacation..." Penello raised her hand and made a request apologetically, "Hogwarts's Teaching tasks, the establishment of peacekeeping forces, and the maintenance of security by the red umbrella department that is now needed for the development of these pioneering lands... I recently learned multiple shadow clones, otherwise I guess my work in the school will have to stop..." Then she He said to Hermione, "Also, Miss Know-It-All, I just finished reading the information you provided below. I think Umbrella should not provide so many advanced equipment to the International Federation's troops, and they are not our own."

"Penello, this is actually what my father meant. Although the operations of the peacekeeping force are nominally directed by the International Federation of Wizards Council, we are now responsible for the training and equipment, and their station is also in our floating city. ..." Len explained for Hermione, and then glanced at Grindelwald as if he wanted to show off his skills in front of him, "So, we need to change our mentality to look at this problem. In addition to being assistant coaches, Wolf Mother and his umbrella team also There is nothing serious, so they can be sent as officers of these peacekeeping forces. Their strength is enough that other countries cannot question it, which also strengthens our control..."

"Although it may not be as easy to command as the people in the Red Umbrella Department... But compared with this small shortcoming, it is better than simply pushing the peacekeeping force to others." Allen also chimed in, "And some tasks themselves are also dangerous. Letting our people who protect the umbrella do it by themselves may not necessarily please us. It would be better to let the peacekeeping forces make some achievements and let these countries who have also contributed their own efforts see some actual results." With that said, Allen took out a knife with one hand He picked up his pocket watch, looked at the time, stood up and said, "Sorry, we made an appointment with Professor Flitwick before to pick someone up. An American friend I know is coming to study in college, and I have to go over to entertain him and take him around the floating city... Gellert, let’s take the first step.”

"There is a performance at the Three Broomsticks tonight, and Tina Warbeck has been invited to sing in person... Oh, Helena and her ghost choir will also be there." Len leaned back on his chair, always serious. There was a hint of joy in his tone, "My cousins ​​also want to go see it. If you don't go home for dinner, you'd better tell your mother. She's a bit addicted to not cooking for too long during her pregnancy."

"Alan, when you came back from the United States, you gave me a set of Ilvermorny magic textbooks." Hermione scratched her chin with the quill in her hand and recalled with emotion, "I didn't have much knowledge at that time, and I thought The compilation of their magic textbooks is very reasonable, and in some places it is even better than Hogwarts."

"It's a pity that the seamstress of the suit of clothes you gave me died, Allen, and it became out of print..." Penello curled her lips and showed off unconvincingly. Suddenly she put down her crossed legs and turned to someone alertly. He tilted his head and asked, "Come to Hogwarts to attend college...are you from the same family you met when you went to the United States in the second grade?"

"Yes, she is Mr. Leonard's niece. She is coming here to study. He has no children of his own, but he raised two children, Jessica and Ian, and he is a close friend of Professor Flitwick, so Victoria Ask us to help take care of it... eh?" Allen answered honestly at first, then noticed Penello's expression becoming more vigilant, and finally realized what the other party was worried about, and opened his mouth and said, "There is no way that she and I can, Because...that..."

Allen opened his mouth to explain that he and Jessica were quite different in age but had never had any ambiguity. However, he suddenly realized the situation between himself and Penello, and wisely wanted to change his words, but this hesitation made him He looked even more suspicious.

"Then I'll go with you. Anyway, I'll be fine later..." Penello said simply without further questioning, then hesitated for a moment and looked at Hermione, UU reading www.uukaｎshu． net "Miss Know-It-All, why don't you come over? You can just explain to the other party the allusions in your head."

Hermione's expression became a little dazed and surprised. She never expected that Penello could extend an invitation to her. When she didn't respond, Penello's long legs suddenly kicked out from underneath and hit Hermione's calf. .

Hermione hissed and glared at Penello in annoyance, but saw the other person glance at Allen with his big round eyes. Hermione then recalled what Allen had just said, and finally realized the key point. Pay attention to the place.

Hermione, who understood, poked her fluffy hair with a quill and said: "Alan, since I am your friend and a witch, Penello and I should also go over to help receive it, otherwise it will be all wizards, she Might not feel too comfortable.”

Allen looked helplessly at the exaggerated and obvious expressions of the two people, and wanted to say something, but Grindelwald's frustrated voice sounded first next to him.

"Ellen, you young people can visit the Floating City and Hogwarts together. I won't join in the fun. I will entertain her around the university when she enrolls."

After saying that, Allen saw that Grindelwald, the thief, abandoned him and ran away.
