"Huh, create the illusion that the hull is being disassembled?"

Grindelwald frowned and looked at Elena with a slight bewilderment.

He didn't have much of an opinion on the requirement for long-distance teleportation at the latter point.

However, the first Dark Lord was slightly puzzled by Elena's first request, similar to this kind of event involving large-scale manpower transfers, and he would only agree to it after it was determined that it was valuable.

"If it's just for secrecy, I think the Oblivion Charm and the Confusion Charm are enough, and I don't think it's necessary to invest too much manpower here - we're strapped for manpower, so we're wasting too much here......"

"In the heavens, regular spells can't keep the prying eyes out of us. ”

Elena looked up at the sky, her gaze reaching out towards the boundless sky.

"As the most important shipyard in the former Soviet Union, at least three or more artificial satellites are watching every move here at this time, although they only have the ability to take pictures for the time being, but only need to compare the pictures for a continuous period of time, and it is still easy to find out the progress of the construction here. ”

Following Elena's line of sight, Grindelwald subconsciously raised his head and looked at the empty sky.

"Sputnik? What's that......

A blank look appeared on Grindelwald's face, which touched his blind spot again.

If he had vaguely heard about aircraft carriers, then he had completely learned about the artificial satellite in Elena's mouth for the first time - after all, the Soviet Union had only launched the first artificial satellite of the human world on October 4, 1957, and Gellert Grindelwald had already imprisoned himself in Newmontgard Castle at that time.

"You can think of it as a Muggle unmanned aerial vehicle, flying extremely high, far beyond the reach of most of today's means of attack...... For more detailed content, I can help you find a few books later, or find a few experts in related fields to give you a popular science. ”

Elena glanced at the old demon king with a confused face, rubbed her eyebrows helplessly, and explained a few words briefly.

"To put it simply, in this day and age, unless an entire area like Hogwarts is unmappable, or hidden with some other large-scale spell, there is a risk of being discovered by Muggle reconnaissance satellites. ”

There is no doubt that as the only aircraft carrier assembly plant in the former Soviet Union, the Nikolaev Shipyard is definitely one of the several targets that the Americans and even the world's satellite-owning countries are focusing on, and Elena will not be naïve to think that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the "eye" above the dome will disappear.

Unless they saw the aircraft carrier "Ulyanovsk" dismantled into a pile of scrap steel, the Americans would never be relieved - if the Americans found that it not only did not stop work, but accelerated assembly and launch, and then suddenly disappeared overnight, then the White House and the Pentagon would probably fall into a state of madness at the same time.

"I roughly understand, that is, you want to isolate prying eyes from above?"

After Grindelwald pondered for a moment, he didn't delve into the principle of the "artificial satellite" for the time being, rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that after so many years, Muggle technology has become more and more troublesome, let me think about it......"

"Anti-satellite reconnaissance? impossible!"

Hearing the conversation between Elena and Grindelwald, a touch of disdain appeared on Makarov's face, and he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Slipway Zero is so large that unless you find a way to shoot down the Americans' satellites, you can't avoid the Americans' sight by any means - or, if you can find a cover big enough to cover the entire shipyard, that's ......"

"That makes sense, so we'll just get a lid to cover it. ”

Elena nodded nonchalantly, turned her head to look at Grindelwald, and said in a solemn tone.

"This will probably be the largest and most far-reaching joint spell of Concealment and Oblivion in the history of the wizarding world—far more than the Ministry of Magic's renovation of the Hogwarts Express and the construction of the railroad and railway station from London to Hogsmeade. The slightest mistake may trigger a new round of secret liquidation in the wizarding world. ”

Between 1827 and 1835, Otariane Gamble became Minister of Magic.

In order to ensure that hundreds of students arrive at Hogwarts safely each year without attracting the attention of Muggles.

Ortaline, then Minister for Magic, proposed a "bold and controversial" plan to retrofit a Muggle steam locomotive to replace portkeys and other unregulated forms of travel with trains as a safe and comfortable means of transportation.

And now, more than a hundred years later, in order to ensure that when there is a dispute between the wizarding and non-magical worlds in the future, Hogwarts has the high-end combat power to settle the dispute, and the "Wandering Hogwarts Project" in extreme cases, following the example of the former Minister of Magic, has set her sights on the top means of transportation in the world today.

According to Elena's incomplete conception, the "Ulyanovsk" after a simple magical modification, even if it only has the three basic functions of flight, short-distance space jumping, and invisibility, which have matured in the wizarding world today, is enough to surpass the modern military warfare mode in the next few decades, and play a decisive role in the situation.

Not to mention, compared to the common carrier-based aircraft carrying methods, there are more options in the magic world, such as fire dragons, thunderbirds, phoenixes, bird snakes, and Thestrals...... Even wizards with aerial bombs can temporarily act as miniature bombers.

If you miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you want to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of this scale from scratch, the difficulty and complexity are not as easy as directly grabbing a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier of the United States.

"Does that sound like everything needs to be hidden from Dumbledore?"

"At least until the Ulyanovsk appears on the surface of Hogwarts, it's better not to worry about Professor Dumbledore for the time being, and the purchase of this large ship will also be in the name of scrap steel, not outright the ship. ”

Grindelwald's eyebrows twitched, and he glanced meaningfully at Elena.

Although he knew that Elena was not a worry-free child, he didn't expect that the girl solemnly and secretly asked her to bring it over today, and she actually wanted to do such a big thing.

In order to achieve this, it is necessary to dispatch at least thirty wizards to work in shifts on the hidden side alone.

"Is it worth it?"

"There's only one chance, and the next time we want to get a steel giant like this is the next time we want to get it, and that's probably the only way to get the loot after the official war starts - even if we can win, we won't have time to rebuild. ”

Elena replied without hesitation.

Grindelwald nodded slightly, his gaze sliding over the steel-forged island in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"In that case, the last question...... What are you going to do with these two Muggles? and the rest of the assembly, are you sure you have a way to convince those Muggle workers to help you finish the ship wholeheartedly?"

"Of course, don't forget – we don't just have cold money. ”

Elena nodded confidently in reply, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

History, which has yet to happen, has taught her what the most powerful bargaining chips in this period are money for politicians and ...... for ordinary people Stay alive.

"Well, Mr. Makarov, look forward to seeing you next time. and ......"

Elena smiled slightly at the two old Soviet men beside her, and then whispered with a smile that did not change.

"I'm sorry. ”

As he spoke, the young Dark Lord turned and walked towards the back, waving his hand nonchalantly.

"Let's help them reset this memory first, it's not in the right chronological order...... Let's go get that order first!"

Now is not the time for hesitation and hesitation, once the news leaks, it will not only be as simple as her alone, the entire plan, Hogwarts, and even the wizarding world may be affected.

Ulyanovsk's scrap steel is not so easy to buy, not to mention that the competitor she is facing is a guy who can raise prices skyrocketing, even if there is no American interference, the steel of the aircraft carrier, known as "golden steel", is not cheap.

"Understood, Miss Teresa. ”

"Forget it!"
