One gets nothing without sacrifice, and in order to get something, one has to pay the same price - this is the principle of alchemy in the eyes of people in the non-magical world, and in a world where magic does not exist, this is the reality of the world.

Wealth is not created in a vacuum, and the greatest role of financial markets is to redistribute wealth, not to create value.

Compared with the former Soviet Union, which can only rely on incomplete historical data to extrapolate backwards, the economic situation and market development of the United States, China, Japan, Germany, Britain and France are too familiar to Elena, and as the world's largest economy in the next few decades under the original historical trajectory, the macroeconomy of the United States has no secrets in Elena's eyes.

Unless there is a second traverser, no one in this day and age understands America better than Elena.

Whether it is the embarrassing node of the economic bubble, the direction of capital flows, the secondary financial crisis that has not yet erupted, or even the wave of unemployment tens of thousands of miles away, the lack of social capacity after the end of the Cold War, all these are under her control.

With the establishment of the Gringotts Hogwarts Central Reserve System of the Russian Federation, all the free capital that intended to eat bear meat fell into this terrible quagmire almost overnight, and the "potato credit for new currency" (referred to as bean coins) returned all capital to its original state - barter, and money was directly linked to the necessities of life.

In the face of a completely closed-loop market economy and the most primitive trade system, the Federal Reserve and the rest of the old capitalist countries have no room for military sanctions, financial sanctions, technological blockades, and trade sanctions.

You must know that the domestic economic situation in the United States and Britain at this time is not as optimistic as it appears.

On this summer day when the red afterglow of the former Soviet Union has not yet dissipated, no faction dares to take the initiative to start a hot war in this land, and they would rather be temporarily frozen in the trap of "bean coins" than face the terrible torrent of red steel again.

Then, there is only one way to hedge the economy and release domestic pressure -

"Gary Vickers, you know...... What is the most effective form of alliance in the world?"

Elena leaned back in the exclusive chair of the Captain of the Hyperion, gently shook the pomegranate juice in her hand, watched the red liquid slowly flow on the wall of the glass, pretended that she was sipping the finest red wine, and asked nonchalantly.

Beside her, Gary Vickers, who had just been promoted to Gringotts' head of external communications, shook his head and replied with some hesitation.

"An interest that is hard to refuse? or...... You mean a common enemy?"

"Yes, but it's not right—"

Elena smiled slightly, a dangerous look in her lake-blue eyes.

"It's not the right time to just have a common enemy – it's the most stable and efficient way to be cornered little by little under unfair confrontation and desperately look for allies in order to survive. ”

"Even if you have to deal with the Magical Congress of America and the American goblins, the magic side should never be the first to attack. ”

"Proxy wars, this is the mode of intervention that the wizarding world should have - the British wizarding world is strong, but the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is no longer the empire on which the sun never sets......"

Elena gracefully drained the crimson from her glass, put it down, stood up and walked to the window of the Hyperion.

Outside the window, Hogwarts Castle in the Scottish Highlands has just woken up.

The bright and soft morning light shines through the clouds and falls on the surface of Hogwarts Lake, shining in layers of brilliant water.

Elena opened her arms and let the warm sun shine on her body, thousands of miles behind her, the chimneys of countless families just rising from the smoke of breakfast cooking, the Bundesbank announced that it was considering reconfiguring the European exchange rate mechanism.

Farther afield, in the White House in Washington, D.C., Reagan's desk was marked as a top-secret document of the highest priority — the Maastricht Treaty Vulnerability Analysis and Sniping Draft

And in the next few hours, it will be the focus of everyone's debate along with the news of the creation of the [GH Central Reserve System of the Russian Federation], and it will start to be launched in less than a week.

It's just that no one knows......

Half a year ago, before the formal terms of the EEA Treaty were finalized, Gringotts Wizarding Bank had conducted a very comprehensive sandbox deduction for the same situation.

Elena took a deep breath, as if she had smelled an extremely tempting aroma, and a look of intoxication appeared on her face.

"The ruble crisis, the pound crisis...... This summer may be the most exciting moment in the history of human finance...... In the world of capital under the great loss of blood, this time it is not a sniper war that can be ended by admitting defeat. Is...... It's so exciting. ”

Is this what it feels like to turn the world upside down?

Tut...... It's really addictive......

"Gary Vickers, pass my orders......"

Elena raised her hand slightly, her fingers slicing freely through the air.

"From now until the end of September, all financial operations of Gringotts Wizarding Bank in the non-magical world will be reduced to one-tenth of the original frequency, and all efforts will be made to collect evidence of the interference of the American wizarding world and the American elves in the market!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, your will is the will of the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank. ”

Gary Vickers put his left hand on his chest and bent respectfully.

After more than half a year of getting along, and witnessing the terrifying power of the capital of the new era, there was no longer any voice in the entire Gringotts Wizarding Bank that questioned the young fairy queen.

"Very well, then I'll leave the rest to you, as for me......"

Elena nodded in satisfaction and stroked her hair nonchalantly.

Silver hair shimmering with a pale golden light streaked through the air, and the otherwise still air suddenly rippled.

The next moment, countless dense magic runes appeared in front of Elena's eyes.

Red, green, black, and blue lines intersect in mid-air to form a miniature version of the Hubelion's hull formation, with names the size of grains of rice hovering through the grid - it wasn't too difficult for Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore to cast a range name magic.

As a space carrier that took half a year to build, this almost represents the highest level in the wizarding world today.

Elena carefully looked at the "surveillance" in front of her, compared the notes next to each room, and carefully sorted out the folds on her own clothes in front of the window that had turned into a mirror, and whispered.

"Opening the Floro ......Network of Reactors No. 3, No. 9, No. 11 and No. 19"

"Open the fast passage of the No. 7 reactor to the bridge, raise the main reactor of the bridge, put away the main guns, lower the Hubelion alert status to level three, remove the stealth magic on the hull, raise the solar panels and start storing energy......"

As a senior at Hogwarts and a teaching assistant in Potions class, it's time for her to meet this year's freshmen......
