At the same time, the other side of the world.

The capital of Ukraine, Kyiv.

As one of the founding members of the Soviet Union, there is no doubt that Ukraine has always been an extremely important part of the Soviet Union.

It has the largest area of black soil in Europe, controls the mouth of the Black Sea, and is home to one-third of the Soviet army's army and one-third of its nuclear bomb silos...... Of course, there was once one of the largest nuclear power plants.

And some time ago, the origins of the civilization of the Russian Empire were also closely linked to this land and the people who lived on it—in people's minds, Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus were almost equal to the Soviet Union.

However, just half a day ago, the country had just concluded one of the most important referendums since its founding.

Ukrainian "free voters" voted in an absolute vote of 99.85% to declare Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union.

Immediately after his inauguration, the first Ukrainian president, Kravchuk, said that the new Ukraine would not participate in the alliance of sovereign states proposed by Gorbachev – which meant that the traditional Soviet bloc had officially broken down completely.

At this time, Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, is filled with a festive atmosphere in the air.

The sickle-hammer flags fluttering on the city's main roads and the red and blue flags of the member states began to be lowered one after another, and municipal workers and excited volunteers were hanging the yellow and blue Ukrainian flags on street lamps, streets, and shops...... And every place where the flag can fly.

Waving banners, billboards, and flags, citizens marched through the streets of the city with their faces smiling and holding their heads high, marching and reveling, celebrating the victory of democracy and imagining a bright future.

The stall owners of the roadside newsstand have keenly placed the newspapers prepared in advance on the outermost, and the newspapers with the fragrance of ink have appeared in various locations throughout the city in just a few hours, and the headlines above are particularly eye-catching-

"Embracing Freedom, Celebrating Democracy, Ukraine Officially Becomes Independent Today"

On the roof of a three-story commercial building, Grindelwald stares coldly at the city with his hands behind his back.

On this day, the eyes of the whole world are focused on this country, which is located in the heart of the Soviet Union.

According to the data that Grindelwald has collected these days, this is arguably the most important component of the Soviet Union after Russia, whether it is military, population, productivity, land, food...... It's a behemoth that can't be ignored.

As one of the world's three major black soils, Ukraine, known as the breadbasket of Europe, can be said to be the only weather vane in Elena's plan to judge whether all actions have begun - its independence means that the Soviet Union has officially swallowed its last breath, and when the food crisis begins to break out in Ukraine, it is when all the former Soviet Union member states are in a desperate situation.

After several weeks of planning and planning, the newly established Mandate Group has successfully established bases in major cities in Ukraine, and has established an independent flying network system through fireplaces and cabinets.

With the end of today's referendum in Ukraine, it is officially announced that the first phase of the burial task has been completed, and there will no longer be the Soviet Ministry of Magical Internal Affairs, or the obstructive Soviet anti-rebellion staff to check and inquire about the situation.

However, for Grindelwald, the things they need to worry about will not be reduced because of this.

Even after Ukraine declared independence, what Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the Destiny Group needed to prepare for suddenly became heavier and more urgent.

"Stupid and short-sighted Muggles, I can't believe that this is the same group of people who turned the tide of the war in the non-magical world in the same winter decades ago, the Soviet wizards who died for Muggles in the war...... Tsk......"

Grindelwald shook his head with a sigh, a hint of regret and banter flashing across his face.

"But that's good news for us too, right?"

Half a step behind Grindelwald, a tall, thin wizard shrugged, "As far as I know, since the Chernobyl incident a few years ago, almost all the wizards in this country have moved to other places, and most of the people left behind are some crappy wizards with low magical abilities or stubborn old people, so there is no need to worry at all. ”

"Don't let your guard down, our opponents are not the ones who have been defeated by time. Grindelwald glanced at his old fellow, "The Magical Congress of America should be tempted to start infiltrating, as well as the power of the goblins and the speculators of various non-magical worlds. ”

If before that, the whole world firmly believed that the USSR could not fall......

Then from today, there is an official death countdown above the behemoth's head - hyenas chasing profit will soon gather on this land, waiting for that possibility to gradually become a reality.

No matter where the future goes, this group of laughing people in front of them will give everything for their so-called "freedom".

The only difference is who will eat the fattest part of this feast.

“...... Let's go, go to the banks that I contacted before, and give priority to the Muggle banks controlled by Gringotts. ”

Grindelwald looked at the crowd of people in the streets who were immersed in joy, withdrew his gaze, and whispered to the wizards behind him.

"From now on, pledge all the assets we hold, exchange them for cash, buy new stores, and then cycle through that – remember, use a few different identities and eat as many bakeries and light industrial factories as you can in the country at any cost...... And, of course, there are farmlands and shops in the core area. ”

From this point on, whether or not the Gringotts goblins recognize the ruble issued by the Russians, and how Gringotts wants to deal with the ruble's exchange rate crisis, it will not have much impact on the whole plan.

Because Hogwarts has already received vital start-up funds and has established itself in this land ahead of schedule.

Relying on large amounts of rubles, dollars, and pounds in cash, Hogwarts and Destiny were able to effortlessly buy fixed assets on a large scale that had not yet turned into a bubble, and Ukraine, as a capitalist country, could not resist the power of capital.

Then, according to the original plan, they will use high interest rates as bait in exchange for a large amount of ruble loans to buy other fixed assets, so as to carry out a crazy breeding like cancer cells.

To put it simply, it's a repetition of what Elena had done at Gringotts a few months ago.

Only this time, the market will be larger, and the benefits will be more lucrative.

Without the protection of the unbreakable alliance of the Soviet Union, their government may be able to barely defend itself against malice from the outside world for the time being, but those commercial banks, which are already relatively weak, are completely at the mercy of others.

Gringotts is just a small step.

Compared to the small and pitiful amount of money in the wizarding world, Elena had already set her sights on the non-magical world of an almost infinite stock of money months ago - winner takes all, and this is the real financial war.

The curtain has finally been opened.
