"There's no more information yet, and that's one of the things we're trying to figure out. ”

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, his expression a little solemn.

"The clues provided by the goblins at Gringotts in London are only photos of secret meetings between the officials of the Magical Congress of the United States and the goblins of the Gringotts branch in North America. What exactly was the cooperation between the two is still unclear. ”

"Quite simply, support by force. ”

Grindelwald said without thinking.

"With the miser character of the goblins who are weak and afraid of death, only with the help of those American wizards can the goblins of North America have the confidence to declare independence. ”

After several elven wars, the wizarding world has been extremely repressive about the armed forces of elves, and elves are hardly allowed to have any armed forces other than basic security systems.

Therefore, compared to the ancient goblins who could easily start a war hundreds of years ago, the only way for goblins who lack controllable armed forces in this era to start a war is to call for foreign help.

In fact, according to the original agreement, the ministries of magic of each country would provide basic defensive support to the local Gringotts wizarding bank if necessary.

But this does not include sending wizards to directly participate in the war between the elf factions, and there is no doubt that the Magical Congress of America has managed to exploit the loopholes in the contract and meddle in Gringotts' internal affairs as a patron.

"That's what I and most of the officials at the Ministry of Magic think so. ”

Dumbledore nodded, his expression becoming more serious.

"Then, more crucially, this time, the Gringotts goblins in London made a clear request for military support - they want to unite with the cutting-edge combat forces of the British Ministry of Magic to launch a lightning expedition, and use the golden galleon transmission channel that has not yet been closed to preemptively suppress the group of goblins of the Gringotts branch of North America who claim to be the [American Wizard Federal Reserve System]......"

At this moment, Elena, who had been listening carefully to the story, suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed with a swipe on the floor, her pupils constricting violently.

"Wait, Dumbledore, what did you call the elves of the Gringotts Division of the Americas who declared independence?"

"It's Professor Dumbledore. ”

Dumbledore frowned, corrected Elena gently, and continued unhurriedly.

"According to the Gringotts goblins in London, the Insurgency calls itself the [Wizarding Reserve Bank System of the Americas], and of course, we will not hesitate to refuse this request to start a war on our own initiative......"

"Kill them!"

Elena's delicate and immature face was full of murderous aura, and her tone was extremely cold.

"Without any emotion or compassion!, decapitation at the speed of light is the core of the Wizarding War. ”

If Elena was a little hesitant at first, it was a coincidence or not.

Then, since hearing the familiar [Reserve System] in Dumbledore's mouth, Elena is at least ninety percent sure of her inner conjecture - the Fed has intervened!

Even though the goblins in North America have the shell of a wizarding bank on the outside, their core keywords are too recognizable.

"What are you talking nonsense, you kid? Not to mention, just this afternoon, the passage was closed by the elves over there. Even if it is still unblocked, how can we support such a barbaric act of war. ”

Dumbledore frowned heavily, subconsciously reached out and probed Elena's forehead, turned his head to look at Grindelwald, and said with dissatisfaction.

"What have you instilled in my students all these days?!"

"Albus, don't you push anything on my head, this little guy is very fierce. ”

Grindelwald snorted, his slender fingers tapping the back of his hand back and forth, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"However, the reaction of the Gringotts elves was so violent, which I did not expect. As the headquarters of Gringotts, a fairy that has been in business for thousands of years, it didn't have the confidence to defeat the challenge of a young branch head-on, even if it was a wizard from the Wizarding Congress of the United States, who could ask for help, but not to make such a request directly at the beginning. ”

"That's right, that's the first thing that confuses all the Ministry of Magic officials. ”

Dumbledore nodded, gently resting on the lens resting on the bridge of his nose.

"Bloody purges like this were common in goblin fights hundreds of years ago, but they have been extremely rare for decades. Moreover, drastic tactics are usually only used when you are at an absolute disadvantage. So, most of us tend to think that this is just a way for the elves to show that they will not compromise. ”

"There's nothing to think about because they've really been cornered. Your hesitation may cause the wizarding community to miss out on ending this dispute at the lowest cost. ”

Elena sighed deeply, her face full of regret, and looked at Dumbledore helplessly.

Sure enough, only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, Albus Dumbledore is really a veritable demon king cultivator, and the biggest devil in the whole world in the future was gently let go from his hands.

The Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve System of the United States, is abbreviated as the Federal Reserve.

A completely independent central bank that can influence the world pattern, whose decisions do not need to be approved by the President of the United States or any senior level of the legislature, which does not accept appropriations from the United States Congress, and whose members serve for many presidential and congressional terms.

Similar to such a giant organization with a transcendent status and a decisive influence, it can be said that it perfectly meets the requirements of the wizarding world for its own positioning, and with the obsession of the goblins with wealth, it is impossible to let go of this delicious piece of big fat.

There is no doubt that no matter who is actually in control of the Fed in this parallel world, there are definitely some non-magical partnerships between American wizards, American goblins, and American Muggles, who have secretly crossed the International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act.

Regardless of the control of the non-magical world, no matter which side of the elves wins, the Gringotts goblins, who have completely controlled the coinage of the Golden Galleons, will completely grow into a behemoth that no wizard can counterbalance after this violent merger, with the fall of the woolly bear.

After a slight pause, Elena looked at Grindelwald, who was still a little confused, and explained, "Don't you understand? Obviously, the goblins of Gringotts in Europe know very well in their hearts that in this internal war from which they can no longer escape, if they continue to go on in the usual way, their hopes of winning in the end are not too high, and even if they win, they will be considered lost." ”

"Just because the wizards of the Magical Congress of America intervened?" Grindelwald raised an eyebrow, revealing a hint of hidden disdain.

"Nope. It's because of the ...... of liquidity"

In the middle of Elena's speech, she suddenly swallowed her saliva, raised her head and glanced at the White Lord, whose expression had not changed much, and quickly explained:

"The mortgage contract between Gringotts and Hogwarts was paid on the spot in cash, which means that Gringotts' liquidity was withdrawn directly. In this way, in a short period of time, European Gringotts will not be able to compete with the prepared North American goblins head-on. Of course, you only need to give the goblins some time to buffer, and the medium-term investment and long-term investment will gradually return to the cage, which will naturally turn everything around. However, in this way, the time line will inevitably be stretched...... Wait?"

Elena suddenly stopped, her brow furrowed heavily, and her face changed rapidly.

"I see. Grindelwald nodded thoughtfully, and continued.

"As the war enters a tug-of-war, the independence of the North American elves will naturally become a given? ”

"I'm just trying to keep the disputes as low as possible. ”

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, neither admitting nor denying it.

After speaking, the old man turned his head to look at Elena, who was deep in thought, and smiled gently, "So I said a long time ago, just leave these things to me to deal with, and it doesn't mean anything to you if you come into contact with this information too early......"

"Chance!"

At this moment, Elena suddenly raised her head, her eyes shining brightly than she had ever seen before, and her tone was terrifyingly fanatical.

"This may be humanity's only chance for nearly a thousand years!"

"Fundamentally wreak havoc on the entire Gringotts, and bring the power of currency back under the control of wizards!"

Goo ~ The main story of the second volume is opened.

Gringotts is a very large, ancient banking institution.

The collapse of the Soviet Union was also an extremely complicated event, and it was not so simple to eat the meat of this woolly bear.

Of course, lending rubles - exchanging dollars - waiting for disintegration - exchanging rubles - repaying loans, this is the easiest way to make money, but it is also the most hateful way, and at the same time, if you want to maximize profits, this is also a form of time cost, because the ruble completely collapsed in 1993.

This is also why before this, almost few people would write about this - because this piece requires too hardcore financial knowledge~

The exchange rate difference is just to fool the spicy old radish in the early stage, or it is Elena's original intention, but if you only rely on a small contract, you can't get into Gringotts~ After all, it's just a few hundred million gold galleons, and Gringotts can still afford to lose although it hurts.

Anyone who is a good economist should be able to guess what will happen next, so please don't spoil it!!

Book friends who have studied a lot of Soviet history also try not to give hints, well, thank you.
