"Yesterday I was approached by a couple of people from Thomas who thought wizards were not 'professional'. I agree. All departments of the new government will have a Muggle deputy minister to provide professional guidance. After Phoenix finished speaking, he subconsciously touched the cigarette case, glanced at the empty cigarette case, then put the tip of the cane to his mouth, and spit out a large puff of white mist.

"Politics, I think wizards should still be able to grasp it. M was a little worried. I don't think I'll let myself be some kind of deputy minister, he did find someone to do a good job, hoping to get a position. But the level of the meeting was too high, and there was no one who could speak among the acquaintances he knew. Thinking of this, he stared at Phoenix with a little expectation.

"I'll just say it bluntly, I haven't been able to find a suitable candidate for the Minister of Intelligence, and after considering all aspects, I have decided to appoint you as the Minister of Intelligence. Phoenix stared at him, waiting for M to respond.

"Your Excellency, I am really not modest. I'm a professional manager, so I'd better be smart. This position was unexpected by M, who knew that intelligence was never an easy job, especially not to go wrong with other departments. Thankless, he didn't want to do it.

"Of course I know, you're starting a company. But your work is quite special, and I think there are very few wizards who know more about the workings and methods of government than you. I want to put you in a position where you can do your best," Phoenix pouted, "I'll have to make some compromises with the other families right now." ”

M nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. This is an empty promise to himself, if he does a good job, Phoenix will support him as head of government, if it is wrong - thinking of this, he hesitated again.

His company was really special, the Muggle Affairs Consulting was a company that worked for Squibs. To be precise, they only serve the squibs of the wealthy. Squibs are only second-class citizens in the wizarding world, without any political rights, and even personal safety is hardly guaranteed by law.

In the past, the squibs in the wizarding family would have their parents or elders come forward to buy a position in the court directly and join the military camp, church, and court.

Where the secrecy law goes, the number of squibs in the wizarding world has surged. People can no longer afford to spend money on a good job for their children and spend the rest of their lives in the Muggle world in peace and security - after the law of secrecy is enacted, it is not that no one wants to continue to do so. But they ignore that in the past, wizards came forward to buy positions, but they bought them with their protectors. There was no protector, and those Squibs were Muggles' opponents, and they lost the money their parents gave them in a daze.

At that time, there was no systematic study of the age at which magical abilities were demonstrated. Squib, who has been educated in magic since childhood, has mastered the knowledge of magic, but is not capable of using it. As adults, they were both unable to integrate into the Muggle world and ostracized by the wizarding world.

Over time, someone identified a business opportunity.

They arranged for personnel, disguised as ordinary aristocratic families, and hired Muggle teachers to teach the Squibs basic knowledge, social etiquette, finance, fencing, equestrian skills, and other skills.

After completing his studies, he took advantage of legal loopholes to bypass the "Secrecy Law" and let some famous nobles take the squibs around at the palace banquet and say that they were their relatives. Anyway, European aristocrats intermarry with each other, and there are many down-and-out relatives of the general big nobles. Depending on the thickness of your wallet, there are also high and low positions arranged.

From illegitimate children to the prime minister's son, they can do it all.

By 1780, business was getting better and better, and the Muggle Affairs Consulting Company decided to make a name for itself internationally with a shocking move, further expanding it to other continents.

In 1793, when the head of the King of France fell to the ground, the situation became more and more tense, and finally it was completely out of control, and the hapless Squib was beheaded before he could sit on the French throne for a few days. The whole of Europe was also in flames because of the riots in France.

The company then changed its strategy, no longer violently interfering with magic, and more Muggle methods, pushing the Squibs step by step to get into their intended positions.

In the 19th and 20th centuries, Muggle technology developed rapidly, and Squibs had more and more things to learn, and the price became more and more expensive. But the business also became more and more proficient, and from the mid-19th century onwards they arranged for a number of Squibs to serve as Muggle leaders, all through non-magical operations.

"It's been decided within the family. Phoenix said in a decisive word.

"Yes, I will try to complete the task assigned to me by my family. M had to say.

Phoenix nodded, satisfied: "That's good. Now let's say something important, you know how Muggle government works, and I hope you will bring that ethos to our new government. The Broadcast Stone project had been planned for a long time, but the work was seriously behind schedule. We don't have enough manpower, so we need to know which areas are to cover the magic field first and which are secondary. ”

"Communication, transportation, these two are the most important. ”

"You're coming as soon as you open your mouth?" Phoenix frowned.

"Eternal timeless, Your Excellency. "In general, the most worthy of control are traffic and communications, which are the core of domination and control," M said. It's very basic, but it's incredibly important. The result of industrialization is urbanization. But cities themselves do not produce any of the food and water needed for human survival. This requires close coordination between communication and transportation to transport the needed supplies to the city. Cutting off these two points and the government will lose the control of the people. There will inevitably be a shift to the countryside, and we can fill this gap. The executive order must go through us before it can be passed on, and this is our opportunity to learn and the first step in our control. Europe and the United States are countries with very strong private ownership, and by controlling wealth and power, they can control everything. ”

"How many Muggle families did I see then, and they controlled communications and transportation?" Phoenix remembered that he had seen a group of people many years ago.

"Yes. In the United States, for example, the government itself has little communication capability and is contracted by private companies, which we used to need to help us cover up magic leaks. The boss of a private communications company can forcibly stop the service of some or even all base stations, and the company is his, and he can bear the loss. So before the broadcast stone is fully deployed, we can have those bosses order the shutdown of global base stations, root servers, satellites. Even without the Broadcasting Stone, Muggles' ability to communicate would be greatly reduced. This will avoid our armed conflict with Muggles, where the army cannot receive orders from above, and their activities are limited at best...... Rescue civilians. ”

"But the government has a lot of force in its hands, and what if the government is unwilling to cooperate with us, let the army force the company to run?"

"Those people have a lot of infiltration into the government, and like us, they hide themselves, but they have a huge influence over the government. ”

"It's good if you have faith, we need to get other regions on board as soon as possible," Phoenix said. The wizarding world wasn't a problem, those Muggles were. You have to figure out how the European countries reacted to wizards, and we need to be clear about who is the enemy and who is the friend. This will be your priority. ”

The families who came to join the alliance were all well-known families, and with their help, the new government was easily recognized by everyone. Muggles are very troublesome. First of all, not all governments have been hit. For example, the governments of Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In the wizarding world, these councils were united with Austria and belonged to the Germanic tribal councils, and although the names of the councils changed several times, the scope of their administration remained the same.

There are many similar situations, most of those countries appeared in the 50s of the 20th century, and the older ones are only a few hundred years old. The repercussions of the division of Muggle nations and territorial changes have always haunted the wizarding world.

In the final analysis, it is the wizard who has no country and culture of his own, and goes with the flow like a gypsy.
