"John Parkinson. Snape frowned at Parkinson Sr.'s pleading, and then spoke in his usual slow-paced tone. "We have a decisive advantage in this war, and we are bound to win an easy victory, how can you doubt our great master here and spread such news of defeat. ”

After seeing the old Parkinson's face change suddenly, Snape continued: "Of course, because you didn't look for me for yourself, and you didn't plan to run away. So I won't report it to our master this time for the sake of your concern for your daughter, but I hope you don't say that kind of thing again in the future, and don't talk to anyone else about it. ”

"Okay, Snape, I remember you. Hope you get all the best this time. After staring at Snape's face for more than ten seconds, the elder Parkinson saw nothing from Snape's expressionless face, so he dropped a cruel word and left angrily.

The door was slammed shut in front of him, and Snape stood silently in the darkness of the room for a long time, until at last, a faint sigh came from the darkness.

This was not the first wizard to come to Snape to intercede, and given that Bella was no different from a madman nowadays, most Death Eaters had set their sights on Snape, who was also Voldemort's right and left hand. They use all sorts of resources, knowledge, and even the marriage of their daughters as bait, hoping that he will say a lot of good words to Voldemort to help them escape the next war.

Unlike Voldemort himself, who was extremely excited, believing that the war was about to be won. Nearly all of the Death Eaters could sense that the balance of war was shifting in favor of the Hogsmeades they had previously looked down upon, and the chances of victory were diminishing.

This is not because Voldemort did not win several battles, after all, even in the last war, Voldemort's personal strength did not have much advantage. The main reason why the Death Eaters were able to form a prairie fire in Britain and the whole of Europe in that war more than ten years ago was that these pure-blood wizards had an absolute advantage in the resources they occupied, and they were able to completely put down those who resisted.

And when this war began to break out, the Death Eaters thought they had a greater advantage than the previous one. After all, from the beginning, they achieved what they failed to achieve in the previous war, completely controlling the Ministry of Magic and gaining the dominance of the British wizarding world.

This is why so many pure-blood families have openly thrown themselves into Voldemort after the fall of the Ministry of Magic. Because they felt that even with Dumbledore's existence, it would be very easy for Voldemort to destroy the northern resistance, and the war could be said to be a foregone conclusion. If they don't express their loyalty quickly, once the war is over, they will definitely be devastated if they are not completely liquidated by Voldemort.

Therefore, one pure-blood family after another collectively and openly fell to Voldemort in the shortest possible time, and competed with resources to curry favor, hoping to reap a share of the spoils after the war was over. With their help, Voldemort was also able to initiate a total blockade of the Northern Resistance.

The purebloods felt that in such a situation, even if Dumbledore and his loyal subordinates resisted with all their might, Voldemort and the Death Eaters, who had absolute superiority, would easily crush them.

But the facts gave them a slap in the face, and the war, which they thought would end in a short time, was dragged on longer and longer. And the rabble they saw as vulnerable grew stronger after surviving the early chaos.

What is even more incomprehensible to them is that, according to their calculations, once the pure-blood wizards begin to completely blockade. All the resources on the Hogsmeade side will last a week or two at most. With a little waiting, you can watch these resistors collapse without a fight, and at best, some annoying law and order battles will follow.

But a week, two weeks, a month, two months – time passed slowly while they waited. Now the long tug-of-war has been more than half a year, but after a long time of fighting, they were horrified to find that those wizards in the north not only did not run out of resources as quickly as they imagined, but on the contrary, they were getting better and better in terms of equipment and supplies, and even began to surpass them.

With the loss of the greatest advantage of resources, the pure-blood wizards panicked completely, and the subsequent fiasco after defeat made them even more uneasy, and after the matter came to this point, they were almost completely demoralized, just like the German ** team in Berlin in April 1945, and only hoped to escape.

As a result, Voldemort had already executed several people who had tried to run away or publicized the news of the failure, but he still couldn't muster the morale of the rest of the group. These pure-blood wizards have been looking for any means lately, hoping to escape from their current location or avoid the next battle. So there has been a lot of practice lately like going to Snape and trying to bribe him to get information.

But no matter how hard they worked, how hard they went to camp. In the end, he couldn't escape Voldemort's order to attack everyone. So now this underground base is becoming more and more like an underground tomb, and the atmosphere is silent day by day.

After being trapped in the underground base, these pure-blood families are also thinking about a problem. Obviously, this time they had a greater advantage than the last war, and it was also clear that after the war began, they seized the Ministry of Magic that had not taken more than ten years in the last war. But when two huge advantages are put together, why is it the way it is now?

"That's because they definitely didn't expect that it wasn't one person or one country that was competing with them right now. It's several whole worlds. At the same moment, Ryan replied to Hermione on the puppet production line of the Floating Fortress.

Ryan and the others came to the floating fortress to check the creation of the first batch of new battle golems, after harvesting the manufacturing method of that kind of battle golem in the world of Sky City, after a series of research and improvements, Ryan finally came up with a new model of golems that balanced in strength and Kenben, and today is the first day that these golems are put into production.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly after the launch of the puppet production line, and it was able to produce at an average rate of 500 units per day when there were enough materials. Watching the puppets coming out of this fully automated production line, Hermione asked a question, that is, why Voldemort's side was obviously stronger than last time, but it lost so quickly.

Naturally, Ryan taught Hermione a good lesson from the perspective of productivity, and finally concluded that Voldemort's failure was inevitable. Because his greatest advantage has become a disadvantage, and neither he nor his subordinates know this.

"So misunderstandings caused by unequal information are beneficial to us. After Ryan's explanation, Hermione added, "Although this war has brought great losses, it has also made all the enemies jump out at once. Once we get rid of them, it's even easier to make our dreams come true. ”

"Yes. Ryan nodded. "And I've spent a lot of resources in this war. But in a way, it's not a loss. All of the resources we donated and lent during the war will play an important role in making the next step in reforming the wizarding world even more smoothly after the war is over. ”

"It's similar to the Marshall Plan in the United States after the end of World War II. Hermione raised an eyebrow and said excitedly. "We're just giving some resources and wealth, and that's insignificant to us. But these efforts can help us influence the entire British wizarding community. ”

With that, Hermione squeezed her left hand violently, and an inexplicable flame flashed in her eyes.

After all, she was the one who eventually became the Minister of Magic in the original text, and Hermione's personality was not as salty as Ryan's. So at this time she seemed to be a little out of shape, but soon she noticed this herself, and her face suddenly turned red.

"It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of chasing your dreams. Ryan stepped forward and took her hand, then looked down into his eyes and said seriously. "When the war is over, we will be able to start an era that belongs to us, just as Headmaster Dumbledore opened his time. ”
