Chapter 592: Start Another

Looking at Scrimgeur's expression of wanting to hit someone, Zhang looked at the time, there was still an hour before the opening ceremony, and he had to settle Scrimgeour in this time, otherwise today's opening ceremony is estimated to be complicated.

As for why Scrimgeour found himself in the first place, does it need to be asked? In these years, there is no one who dares to pull the two ministries of magic to make trouble together except for him Zhang. Although his rank is not high enough to conform to the principle of reciprocity of status in diplomacy, he also has more room for manoeuvre in many matters.

Zhang Xu pointed to the tent and said, "There are a lot of people here, let's go inside and talk about it." ”

Scrimgeour didn't object, but nodded.

The two came to the outside of the tent gate, Zhang Xu pointed to a row of security gates and said to Scrimgeur: "This is the security gate that was just installed last night, if anyone is carrying a black magic item, the security gate will sound an alarm." ”

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he walked over, and then the security gate rang "dripping".

Zhang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said to Scrimgeour on the other side of the door: "Look, this isn't quite effective, isn't it, haha......"

Scrimgeour didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Zhang Xu has a small office here, which he uses when he comes to help these days. Although the area is a little smaller, it is not very proper to greet the Minister of Magic, but the emphasis is on good secrecy.

Zhang Xu poured a cup of tea for the minister, and then directly sold the mastermind behind the scenes: "This matter was planned by the Americans, and we just followed to make some money." ”

"Huh?" Scrimgeour with a teacup looked at Zhang Xu with a puzzled expression, this answer he didn't expect.

"After all, it's all the trouble you Britons have caused." Zhang Xu said helplessly.

"Since the Gringotts Wizarding Bank was founded by the elves Gringgot, you English wizards have been fighting the elves for control of Gringotts. After the Goblin Rebellion of 1612, you English wizards acquiesced in the Goblin's control of Gringotts. The underlying cause of that rebellion was that you first tried to take control of Gringotts through violent means. In the 17th and 18th centuries that followed, the British Ministry of Magic continued to restrict Gringotts' development and try to tighten its control through overt means such as legislation and other under-the-table means. This is the reason why there were so many goblin rebellions in the History of Magic during that period. At the same time, Gringotts was in the midst of a period of rapid expansion, and the elves had opened Gringotts almost all over the world with the help of British colonizers. It wasn't until 1865 that the British Ministry of Magic discovered that it was impossible to control the behemoth Gringotts, that it officially agreed to give the goblins complete control over Gringotts. ”

"As you know, the Ministry of Magic around the world is unhappy that the wizarding world's economy is controlled by the elves' Gringotts." Zhang Xu, who finished telling the history, continued, "But it is precisely because it is the disadvantage of your British wizards to suppress the bandits that the goblins have the confidence to take a tough stance on the ministries of magic of other countries, and also make the ministries of the ministries of those countries have doubts about the extermination of demons, and they dare not act at will. ”

Scrimgeur, who was holding a teacup, covered up his embarrassment by bowing his head and drinking tea, and he didn't know what Zhang Xu said.

It's not a joke to say that wizards in the world are unhappy with Britain for a long time, and using Dumbledore to pull the banner of Tiger Pila after he became famous is only one of the reasons, and the British Ministry of Magic is not effective in suppressing demons, and finally taking the lead in compromising with goblins is one of the other reasons.

As early as the late 19th century, the Ministries of Magic were unhappy with the British Ministry of Magic's explicit agreement that the goblins controlled Gringotts. However, at the beginning of the twentieth century, Grindelwald began to make trouble, which caused the ministries of magic to divert their attention. Later, when Dumbledore rose, they could only hold back if they were unhappy.

And now, Dumbledore is gone, Voldemort is only doing things in Great Britain, and the British Ministry of Magic is too busy to take care of itself, this is a godsend opportunity to counterattack.

Scrimgeour smiled wryly, then asked, "So what does this have to do with Lucius Malfoy mortgaging the Ministry of Magic?" ”

Zhang Xu took out a box of chocolate sandwich biscuits and put them on the table, took a piece and ate it himself. After hearing Scrimgeour's question, he said, "I have to say, in the position of Minister of Magic, Malfoy did a better job than you. ”

Facing Scrimgeour with angry eyes, Zhang Xu gave him a hehe face. Then he continued: "The International Federation of Wizards has decayed and cannot keep up with the times, and more and more countries believe that the only way to do so is to abandon it altogether and start anew." ”

"Didn't you notice, the International Federation of Wizards has long formulated a plan for various countries to support your British Ministry of Magic, but the Ministries of Magic in Europe and the United States only verbally agreed, and none of the personnel actually sent to Britain by these countries belong to this plan."

"Because they are all waiting, waiting for a new organization to unite wizards from all over the world, and then they will come to your aid in all aspects in the name of this organization."

"Including your country?" Scrimgeour asked. Whether a large eastern country that has never entered the International Federation of Wizards system enters the new system is undoubtedly an important criterion for judging the gold content of this new system.

"Of course, we can't be outside the whole magical world in the new era." Zhang Xu continued.

"The establishment of a new international system always requires everyone to do a big thing together as an opportunity, and the opportunity for the establishment of this new system is to do it all over the world. And at this time, whoever has enough strength over His Excellency Gu Ling will have more say in the new system later. ”

"However, for various reasons, you British were excluded from this operation, so to speak, from the new system. If Britain wants to join this new system in the future, then you will have to spit out the benefits you have eaten for so many years. ”

"Thankfully, you have a Lucius Malfoy in England."

"He was sourcing grain from an American grain merchant when he accidentally learned this information and barged in like a bull."

"So what is he going to do?" Scrimgeour asked, a bitter look on his face.

"All the dirty work was done by the 'Death Eaters.'" Zhang Xu leaned back in his chair, and then replied, "I have to admire Malfoy's eyes for being so sharp, he immediately discovered that the biggest problem faced by the Ministry of Magic in other countries is that they have scruples when they need to do dirty work, and the biggest advantage in his hands is that he can do dirty work without scruples." ”

"And he also promised that he could attack the Gringotts headquarters in Diagon Alley if needed."

There is no need for Zhang Xu to say the next thing, Scrimgeour himself has figured it out. While trying to figure it out, it also gave him a headache.

In this matter, Lucius Malfoy can receive a plaque with the words "National Hero" to hang at the gate of Majiazhuang. The wizarding society in Britain is a society controlled by capital, and those capital tycoons can realize how much Malfoy has benefited Britain in this matter. Even if it's 10 Downing Street, they have to pinch their noses and recognize Malfoy's credit.

And Scrimgeour's side, if Zhang Xu hadn't told him to get in the car first and then tell him the cause and effect of the incident, I'm afraid he would have been kept in the dark until the last moment.

Just when Scrimgeour lowered his head and drank stuffy tea, Zhang's heart once again complained that the Yankees were not authentic.

It's not strange to ask yourself to be a messenger for such an important matter, but you don't want to be a messenger for the United States like Mrs. Adams. That night at the Burrow, Lady Adams went out to talk to herself. As a result, she chose the wrong topic at the beginning, and then she had an occupational illness that made her think that she had come to ask questions about Grindelwald's affairs, so that she had to brace herself and avoid her. If she hadn't finally written a letter explaining the situation and allowing her to bring back home, it would have been a lot of fun.

After drinking two cups of tea in contemplation, Scrimgeour finally asked, "What are the main countries this time?" ”

Zhang Xu counted twice with his fingers, "In addition to our two countries, there are also the United States, Russia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, India, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, South Africa, and Egypt. ”

After getting Zhang Xu's reply, Scrimgeour put down the teacup and left with a toothache on his face.
