"Destiny? I haven't heard of ......"

Makarov, director of the Black Sea Shipyard, shook his head and said quietly.

As he spoke, Makarov glanced at the guards on the ground around him, whose chests and abdomen were slightly heaving, and slowly released his right hand holding the pistol at his waist, which could silently infiltrate the core area of the shipyard and subdue his guards in an instant......

Whatever method they used, it was clearly not something an old guy like him could handle.

"But you may be in the wrong place, I'm just an ordinary shipyard worker. Whether it is to sell the whole ship, dismantle and sell the steel, or even restart the work for redistribution, it is not up to me to decide. ”

Makarov raised his head, looked at the girl standing on the moving scaffold in front of him, and said calmly.

"And...... The Ulyanovsk, which will never be completed again. ”

"Why? I don't think the Ukrainian government will refuse to receive huge orders and financial support. ”

Elena shook her head with a smile on her face, her face full of confident arrogance, and repeated softly.

"I said it...... Destiny, very rich—"

"I'm sorry, but money isn't everything, Miss Apocaris. At least, never in the USSR. ”

A hint of mockery appeared on Makarov's lips, he turned his head sideways to take a deep look at the half-finished "child" lying quietly on the slipway, and then pointed to the empty dock around him, and shook his head.

"If you want to complete a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier like this, you need the USSR, the Party Central Committee, the State Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission and nine ministries of defense industry, 600 related specialties, and 8,000 supporting manufacturers...... All in all, it's a great country to do, but ......"

The old man was silent for a while, then let out a long sigh and continued.

"However, this powerful country no longer exists - in the case of the disintegration of the country, it is almost impossible to complete it again, manpower, accessories, time, finances...... It is no longer allowed in all respects. ”

"Perhaps, if only from the perspective of the world. ”

Elena nodded approvingly, jumped back to the ground from the mobile scaffold with both hands, turned her head to look at Grindelwald who had come with her, and pointed to the unfinished giant ship behind her, asking with a little anticipation in her eyes.

"Grandpa, what do you think? Looks pretty good, doesn't it?!Can you find a way to bring it back?"

“......”

Gellert Grindelwald's cheeks twitched, he looked up at the "Iron Castle" in front of him, which occupied almost all of his sight, and took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm.

"That's what you said earlier, the one you wanted to buy from the Muggles in Ukraine...... Big ship?!"

As a wizard, Grindelwald didn't know much about the non-magical world, but he had seen a lot of Muggle ships during the war decades ago, so he was no stranger to this common vehicle.

Not to mention, Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry itself has a giant ship that has been magically transformed.

But neither in the wizarding world nor in the non-magical world, in Grindelwald's impression, there is no ship that looks like this - such a large steel fortress can be called a ship?!

"That's right, it's called an aircraft carrier," Elena nodded, explaining solemnly, "a very well-known means of transportation in the non-magical world, and you can think of it as a large freighter. ”

"Aviation ...... Mothership??Can this thing fly?!"

Grindelwald was slightly stunned, frowned and looked at the ship in front of him that had not yet finished splicing, trying to imagine what it would look like when it was finally completed, and nodded thoughtfully.

"If you can fly, even if the Black Lagoon at Hogwarts can't fit in, at least you can find a place to float. ”

"Well, I can't fly for the time being...... But I think if you and Professor Dumbledore, and all of you from Destiny, can be involved in the renovation and construction process, there is still hope that it can be done. ”

Elena scratched her cheek and said with some embarrassment.

"Before that, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to dock in the Black Lake a little bit - I roughly estimated the area and depth of the Black Lake, and it was no problem to park such a boat. ”

If Elena remembers correctly, the wizarding world doesn't follow the usual way of moving, at least when Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry participates in the Triwizard Tournament, the big wooden ship is transported directly to the bottom of Hogwarts Lake.

So, theoretically, since the magic craft of decades ago could have done this, there is no reason why the combined forces of Grindelwald and Dumbledore (TBD), as well as a bunch of experienced Saints, can't do this.

Grindelwald raised an eyebrow and silently glanced at the steel giant ******* transport in front of him?"

"That's right, the means of transport that Muggles use to transport planes, submarines, and some people and supplies. Elena replied with a sense of pity, "At this point, even if Professor Dumbledore asked, the answer would be the same. ”

"Okay...... Think of it as an ordinary big ship. ”

Grindelwald shook his head noncommittally and did not argue with Elena on this detail.

Anyway, it wasn't him who had the last headache, and it had nothing to do with him whether Elena was going to use this ship to start a war or deliver supplies.

"But according to you, it seems that the plan is to convert this ship into a flying magic vehicle? Are you sure you can convince that stubborn guy at school?"

"Of course, no problem, I've studied the law carefully. ”

Elena cocked up her fingers, shook them smugly, and said confidently.

"Professor Dumbledore will later find out that I didn't break the law by doing so, though we should probably tell him the truth beforehand...... There was a loophole in the law that he would find...... In fact, the fact that a ship could fly was not against any law as long as it was not seen by unrelated Muggles. ”

Since Hogwarts is located in the Scottish Highlands, the laws of the British Ministry of Magic naturally apply.

In this regard, Mr. Arthur Weasley, as the director of the [Division for the Prohibition of the Misuse of Muggle Objects], has long left a lot of loopholes in the law that can be exploited - for example, the flying Ford car parked in his house is a prime example.

Until now, though, Mr. Arthur Weasley had assumed that he was the only one who knew about all the loopholes......

"I just want to make sure that if we do buy this big guy......"

Elena glanced around disapprovingly, and because of her conversation with Grindelwald, the two former Soviet shipyard executives were already confused, and looked at the original Dark Lord and asked slowly and with great seriousness.

"With the strength of you and the Mandate of Heaven, is it possible to create the illusion that this hull is being dismantled on the surface, and be deeply involved in the subsequent hull assembly process, so that its completion can be advanced to the level of water assembly as soon as possible. And then...... How about bringing it back to Hogwarts without knowing it?"
