Raven's Claw at Hogwarts - Chapter 633
c631 Meeting
At 2 o’clock in the afternoon, accompanied by Franklin and Arthur, Mike arrived at the Ministry of Magic of the United States on time to attend this multi-department meeting.
Originally, Penello wanted to come. After all, she had worked hard to achieve this situation.
But in view of her poor physical condition, Mike still forced her to rest at home.
As long as Mike is here, Penello doesn’t have to worry about it. As for Penelo’s injustice this time, Mike will naturally find a way to get it back for her afterwards.
“Bang!”
As Mike pushed open the conference door, the originally noisy conference room instantly became quiet.
Everyone was staring at Mike and his group with various eyes.
The same Mike was also looking at them. After looking around for a week, Mike discovered that all the Ministry of Magic participating in the war, including Picquery, had arrived.
Seeing this, Mike and others had different expressions.
Mike nodded with satisfaction, but Franklin was a little disappointed.
Penello’s warning letter to Picquery clearly states that if someone does not come to this multi-ministerial meeting, or is late, then he will become an enemy of the Ministry of Magic of the United States.
Franklin really wanted some ignorant guy to let him vent his grievances about being suppressed and beaten before.
Unfortunately, the other party did not give him this opportunity.
After giving everyone a rough look, Mike led Arthur and Franklin to sit at the head of the conference table.
As soon as he took a step forward, the French Minister of Magic, who was sitting on the right hand side of the leader, suddenly stood up.
I saw him dragging his body of fat, quickly opening the seat for Mike, and then pointing his fat face full of flattery at Mike, nodding and bending, looking like Mike’s senior bitch.
His weird behavior attracted Mike’s attention, and Mike’s eyes were focused on his face until cold sweat broke out on his forehead before he finally sat down.
At the same time, Arthur and Franklin also stood behind Mike’s seat, temporarily acting as Mike’s bodyguards.
Seeing this, the French Minister of Magic wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to his seat with small steps.
Mike, who was at the top of the list, discovered something very interesting after further observing these negotiation objects.
At this moment, the conference table in front of him was like a dividing line. The people sitting on his left, Piqueli and his group, all looked unhappy and frowning.
The French Minister of Magic on his right was exactly the opposite.
All of them had smiles on their faces, and they showed obvious flattery and flattery when they looked at Mike.
The corners of Mike’s mouth raised slightly, and he knew what was going on at the first glance.
It seems that not everyone in the Ministry of Magic participating in this war is a tough guy.
There are still many wallflowers among them.
Judging from the current situation, these wallflowers should have split up, with the French Minister of Magic who was the first to attack as their representative and leader.
But this is definitely a good thing for Mike, after all, if they unite, the compensation issue will not be so easy to talk about.
‘This is really both magical and realistic. ’
Looking at the French Minister of Magic showing off his power in front of other Ministers of Magic, Mike couldn’t help but think.
The French Minister of Magic seemed to have noticed Mike’s gaze. He turned to look at Mike, and his expression changed 180 degrees, from majestic to flattering. He rubbed his hands and said:
“Lord Tangli, now that everyone is here, do you think…”
Mike nodded, crossed his legs and said:
“Then let the meeting begin.”
After saying this, everyone’s expressions became serious, regardless of whether they were defectors or Piqueli faction.
Because they know very well that the next negotiations will involve huge interests.
The first topic of the meeting and the most important thing of this meeting is compensation for this war.
As a defeated country, all the Ministry of Magic on the scene need to give a large amount of materials to the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China as compensation.
This point is recognized by everyone. After all, you can’t just treat it like nothing happened if you lose. That would be too ridiculous.
The only question now is how much we need to give, which is also the real purpose of everyone gathering here.
In terms of supplies, Mike was very generous.
Although the list of supplies he proposed was huge, it was still within the acceptable range for each Ministry of Magic.
Even if some small magic ministries could not afford so many things at the moment, King Gallon Mike was very considerate and came up with an installment payment agreement, which can be said to be extremely considerate.
At this time, everyone had regarded Mike as a fool. The rebels on the side of the French Minister of Magic could not help but start to flatter Mike for his wisdom. Even the ministers of Magic on the side of Picquery had expressions on their faces. It also looks a lot better.
But at this moment, Mike finally showed his fangs.
The reason why he made concessions in terms of supplies and money was because he wanted more!
first! The first request made by Mike is that all the Ministry of Magic present need to hand over the mysterious objects they contain to the Ministry of Magic of the United States.
The reason Mike gave is also very high-sounding, that is, the work of containing mysterious objects is too difficult for some small magic ministries.
This requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and there is no reward. The mysterious object may even get out of control and backfire on its owner.
These reasons are all facts.
In fact, when Mike announced the news, all the small ministers of magic at the scene almost burst into cheers.
But the minister of a large Ministry of Magic like the Magical Congress of the United States is not so happy.
Mysterious objects may be just a burden to a small Ministry of Magic, but they are an indispensable strategic resource for a large Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, Piqueli and the others’ expressions were now so gloomy that they could almost squeeze out water.
But so what?
Among the ministries of magic on site, there were only a few so-called large ministries of magic, and some of them had already defected to the camp of the French Minister of Magic.
The containment plan proposed by Mike is particularly in line with the interests of these small ministries of magic. In this case, the Magical Congress of the United States and other ministries of magic have no choice to refuse.
Because this meeting was originally a voting system, if they refused, those who chose to support Mike Townley would definitely attack them, or even… start a war again!
This is not what they want to see.
Therefore, although they were very unhappy, Piqueli and others still agreed to Mike’s request.
Mike almost laughed out loud when he saw this.
But he soon adjusted his mood, stood up and said to everyone:
“Everyone, I don’t know if you have ever thought about a question, that is, why did a war break out between us?”
After speaking, Mike looked around at everyone, as if waiting for their answer.
The Minister of Magic hesitated, quickly raised his hand and said:
“Because we overestimate our capabilities! We dare to challenge the great Mr. Mike Townley!”
He had a serious look on his face when he spoke, without any embarrassment at all, which made Picquery and the others laugh disdainfully. Even the guys next to him couldn’t help but move their chairs farther away.
Mike ignored him and continued to say to everyone:
“Because we don’t understand! It’s because we don’t understand each other that we fight!”
“For this reason, I have decided to strongly support a series of sports events such as the Quidditch World Cup. In the future, these sports will also create international events, and follow the method of the Quidditch World Cup, changing the host country every year!
In addition, Hogwarts will also open 20 places for international students every year. Other magic schools must select some third-year students every year for the Hogwarts principal to select. After passing the review, they will spend their time in Hogwarts. for the remainder of their student careers.
Finally, and most importantly, I hope that everyone can open their doors and create an open and fair international business atmosphere!
I feel this very much because I am the supreme chairman of the Los Santos Group. I have discovered many problems in my past business experience, such as the Swedish Ministry of Magic, where wizards are so xenophobic that I have never seen in my life. They actually refuse any foreign companies to enter.
Of course, there is also the United States. They are naturally open, but their so-called openness is strange. They have no shame or credibility. Any foreign companies that harm their interests will be directly destroyed by them regardless of international law, and those foreign companies that are in line with their interests will have everything taken away by him using various means!
These are incorrect! It was these actions that led to the war between us. It also leaves some of us at the Ministry of Magic permanently destitute! So I guess you already know what to do, right? ”
As soon as this was said, everyone in the conference room fell silent again.
Because Mike’s idea of relying on business to deprive countries of their resources is so obvious that it can be described as undisguised.
You know, not all Ministers of Magic are stupid enough to think that Muggles are useless creatures.
Some ministers of magic have done some research on Muggle history and humanities.
And those who have done a little research on this will find that what Mike is doing now is basically no different from what those powerful Muggle countries did to weak countries in the past.
This is completely bloody exploitation, and it is also a more subtle, gentle, and complex war.
Using this method, the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China can even take over the entire world without any bloodshed one day in the future.
Those small magic ministries are better off. After all, they themselves know very well that the injection of foreign capital will not only seize their resources, but also quickly promote the development of all walks of life in their country. In fact, using temporarily unused resources in exchange for these things It’s not a loss.
But it was different for those in the Ministry of Magic. They were almost driven crazy.
They used to cut other people’s leeks, but now someone actually wants to cut them? !
This is simply too much!
Among the Ministers of Magic, Picquery’s face can be said to be the worst.
Because she was different from other Ministers of Magic, she could see Mike’s true intentions behind the scenes.
That’s talent robbing!
The most valuable resources in the wizarding world are population and talents!
Compared with people, other resources are worth mentioning.
Because if there is no one, all those resources are just dead things!
The overseas student plans and business opening plans that Mike is currently promoting are to build the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China into the most developed region, while also allowing other wizards under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Magic to see the immigration of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China. the benefits of!
This will be a long-term plan, but it can bring a steady stream of huge benefits.
Once Mike succeeds, the Ministry of Magic of China will gradually become the place where wizards most desire to live in the future.
There is a developed economy there that allows people to earn more money and enjoy a more luxurious life.
There are the best colleges and hospitals where people can enjoy the highest education and medical care.
There is a more equal environment where people are no longer discriminated against based on their origin and identity!
This is a slow death for the Ministry of Magic to which Picquery and the others belong!
As the wizarding population is gradually plundered, one day they will be weakened to the point of being useless, and then the Ministry of Magic of the United Kingdom will rule the world.
So why does Piqueli know so clearly?
The answer is also very simple.
Because this was their plan originally.
Over the past few decades, they have been building their international image as an open environment and economically prosperous economy.
This move has also achieved very good results. For example, during the period when Voldemort was rampant, the United States became the biggest winner.
At that time, the first choice for most of the wizards of the Republic of China to flee was the United States, which also further strengthened their economy.
But now, everything they have done in the past will disappear, because Mike Townley has directly opened up the most critical nodes of this plan with his own powerful power, causing the Ministry of Magic of the United States to directly surpass the progress of this plan. It has surpassed the Magical Congress of the United States by a large margin!
Seeing that decades of efforts by the Magical Congress of the United States were in vain, Piquely’s teeth were almost broken by her bite.
But so what, just like the previous Occult Object Containment Project, this project is also good for the little Ministry of Magic.
In this situation, she still had no choice but to agree to this only option!
At the same time, Mike was also secretly observing the reactions of everyone at the scene, and he naturally saw Piquely’s expression.
Seeing this, the smile on Mike’s face grew wider.
Of course he knew why Piqueli had the current expression.
He also knew that what Piquely had to face at this moment was not only the external problem of the Ministry of Magic of the Republic of China, but also the internal problem of Kled.
Yes, that’s right.
Kled is back in the United States again!
According to him, he just loves places with violence and turmoil. The reason why he was not sure about living in the country but chose to wander outside was because the country was so peaceful.
But after wandering for a long time, he finally returned to the United States.
Because he discovered that there is no place in the world that is more chaotic and violent than the United States!
I believe that with the existence of Kled, the Magical Congress of the United States will not be peaceful for a long time in the future.
