Chapter 1484: Grumpy Ivan
"The Muggle world will be greatly affected by the fact that Helbo will be able to send a large number of resuscitated dead under his control out of London at any time...... In order to minimize the number of casualties, and to raise as much as possible the good impression of wizards like us in the minds of the Muggle people when there is nothing we can do, I, Babajid Akinbad, hereby propose"
"Impossible!" "Stop!" "Against!"
As if having guessed what Arkinbad was trying to say, several members of the council shouted in unison.
"Wait, everybody......" Akinbad, who was interrupted, looked annoyed, "I don't think I have said the bill yet, have I?" ”
But also, no matter how good his temper is, as the president of the federation, he was rudely blocked back before he even finished the proposal. Regardless of what the topic actually is, anyone who changes it will probably be annoyed.
However, even if he was elected president, he couldn't have passed it unanimously in the first place, did he? Not to mention, there are many factors of Dumbledore's support.
To put it bluntly, there are so many people staring at the chair under his ass at the moment!
Sure enough, I saw the Russian delegates, who were sitting in the front line and had been quite unscrupulous in the past conferences, raised their hands and slapped the table hard.
"Bang!"
"President, is there any difference between saying and not saying your bill? As far as you just said, it is clear that you want to extend your hand to the "Secrets Law", right? And what else do you say, 'elevate the image of wizards like us in the minds of Muggles'...... Have you forgotten how our ancestors were at peace? ”
Unlike European countries such as England and France, Russian witches and wizards have always been veiled with a subtle veil in the eyes of their Muggles.
Just as in the Middle Ages, there were times when English wizards were respected and even feared by the general public, and during the war years, wizards also went to the front line to protect ordinary people, sacrificing themselves in exchange for peace.
However, in Russia, the people always have no very good impression of wizards, such as "Fear Witch Baba Yaga", "Death Witch Mora", etc., even if some merits are circulated among the people, they are generally evil.
Especially during the period when there was a wave of expulsion of witches around the world, witches and witches in Russia suffered so much persecution that they were the first to respond at the meeting when the Secrecy Law initiative was proposed.
Therefore, Akinbad's words clearly hit their most sensitive place, and it is no wonder that the tall Russian wizard would slap the table in protest.
However, if someone refutes, there will always be someone who agrees, and the second person to speak is the representative of Norway, who is only a small North Sea away from Britain.
Of course, the Norwegian delegate's reasons for taking the floor were not limited to his proximity to the United Kingdom.
I remember that in the days shortly after Helbo's birth, Karkaroff mentioned to Maca that several dark wizard organizations in Northern Europe suddenly changed from competing with each other to merging.
At that time, there was infighting over the new leader, but by now, the choice of the leader should have been decided.
And Norway, which is the main place where the Dark Wizard Rebellion took place, even if Helbo has never been there at all, the life of the local Ministry of Magic is probably not easy.
"Helpo's terrible, you've seen it just now! Congressman Ivan, since you don't think you can give up the Secrecy Law, why don't you come up with a solution first? Tell me, what should the British do? ”
The most fundamental reason for the establishment of the Federation is to maintain the stability of the global wizarding society. Just like Akinbad, he proposed such bills in order to solve the problem.
I have to say that this parliamentarian from the Norwegian Ministry of Magic is on point.
It's a pity that the Russian representative Congressman Ivan is notoriously unreasonable. With him talking to him, the possibility of being subconsciously killed by the wizard will be very high.
Fortunately, before the other party slapped the table again to argue, he saw Hearst, the vice chairman of the US Congress, who was the representative of the United States and had warmly greeted Kingsley just now, stood up and preemptively said:
Ms. Miles has a point...... In any case, we are here to solve difficult problems, otherwise this conference will lose its meaning! As far as my personal understanding of the current situation in Britain is concerned, as well as the shocking memory of the moment just now, it is indeed necessary to temporarily retreat and ensure a defensive position! ”
Due to the rapid development in recent years, the status of the American wizarding community in the world can be said to be different from what it used to be, so much so that the weight of the American representative's speech at the federation conference seems to have become heavy.
Of course, people who don't buy it will never buy it.
'Humph!' Retreat'...... Are you going to laugh at me? Ivan said loudly as usual, "In the hearts of wizards in my country, there has never been a 'retreat' that Helbo is strong, but no matter how strong he is, so many wizards in Britain grew up eating air?" What kind of battle do you have to fight without guts? Replace me, fill two bottles of vodka, and even Merlin's head can be twisted off and play a game of Quidditch! ”
"Ahem, cough, cough"
Ivan's garbled remarks made many parliamentarians choke and cough, and Hirst, who was originally standing, shook his head again and again with disgust.
"If you can, why don't you go to London to support the English wizards who are fighting?"
In the face of Hearst's squeeze, Ivan slapped the table very calmly and said decisively: "Go and go!" Isn't he just an ancient dark wizard? As soon as this meeting is over, I'll take a group of warriors to London! ”
When others say this, some people may think that they are saying big things with the momentum, but when this comes out of Ivan's mouth, the matter of support is basically settled.
Not to mention that after the meeting is over, even if he leaves the table now, it is estimated that no one will be surprised.
Suddenly, Kingsley, who had been trying to keep a low profile since the meeting began, couldn't help but be secretly happy not to look at Ivan's rough appearance with a tiger head, and his magic level was ...... In particular, the level of actual combat is extremely high, even if he is the only one who goes, it is equivalent to an additional force like Aberforth in the resistance force of Helbo, which should not be underestimated.
However, this is not much help for Arkinbad's bill this time.
Seeing that Ivan didn't seem to speak for a while, Arkinbad knocked on the podium and pulled all the eyes attracted by Ivan to the stage.
"Everyone"
