Chapter 472: Hogwarts Meeting (2)
At this time, all parties in Britain basically have no good way to deal with the resurgence of Voldemort.
After Scrimgeour came to power, the Ministry of Magic prepared for the ambush according to the experience of more than ten years ago, but it was unexpectedly that Voldemort changed his previous approach this time.
The most notable thing is that he now has gathered a large number of dark wizards from all over Europe and organized them effectively. This approach, which was quite Grindelwald's style back then, caught the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic off guard from the start.
Especially looking at the British Ministry of Magic, the Ministries of Magic of various countries on the European continent have been unhappy for many years, and they are very happy to send their own unstable factors to the United Kingdom. In this way, the level of security in his own house has been improved, and the position of the Minister of Magic will naturally be more stable. A country that is willing to stumble on Britain even secretly takes the initiative to contact those dark wizards, promising that if you go to England and don't come back, your old accounts will be written off.
With the establishment of the International Auror Organization, the countries on the European continent have reached a tacit understanding, that is, to block these dark wizards on the island and prevent them from returning to the European continent.
As for what the British think, haha, don't you have a Dumbledore.
Faced with the dark wizard who could be said to be rolling in, Scrimgeour was stunned.
Originally, Scrimgeour cooperated with the British government to get them to help him build his prestige in order to sit in the position of Minister of Magic. However, after the Ministry of Magic suffered several heavy losses from the Death Eaters, Scrimgeour recognized the current form and had to cooperate more fully with the British government.
As for the British government, they have set their sights on the domestic magical society in the past few years, and the information in this regard is not much better than a smear.
In order to find out what was happening in the corner of their yard that they had not paid attention to all year round, they even had direct contact with a certain co-spy, and did not hesitate to write off the fact that he had illegally brought contraband into the UK for many years, as long as he did not make trouble in ordinary society.
Due to the lack and lag of detailed information, the British government wanted to take the initiative to attack on its own but had no clear goal, so it could only carry out a conservative passive defense, and disperse its limited forces to the entire British land.
The Order of the Phoenix, on the other hand, has always listened to Dumbledore, and when Dumbledore died, he listened to the plan he left behind before he died.
Dumbledore is gone, they haven't elected a new leader internally, and now their situation is to listen to Lupin when they use their brains, and Moody's when they do it.
Moreover, Dumbledore's previous plans were mainly based on having Harry carry out the decapitation operation, and in the face of the current situation where a full-scale war is about to break out, Lupin and them have no choice.
So now Harley is taking out the plan that Dumbledore made before his death, which is tantamount to lighting a guiding light in the darkness.
After all, it is one thing to command a battle, and it is another thing to organize a total war.
One of the major wars in the world of English wizarding was the Elven Rebellion of the 17th century, and the Ministry of Magic had become unfamiliar with how to fight big battles. Although Scrimgeour has been an Auror for many years, the police and the military are still fundamentally different.
Although the government army has professionals, it is also a big headache due to insufficient intelligence. Due to the covert obstruction of some diehards in the Ministry of Magic, cooperation between the Ministry of Magic and government forces is now limited to the tactical level.
Not to mention the members of the Order of the Phoenix, who might as well expect Voldemort to suffocate a bottle of paraquat.
At present, the only one who has the experience and organizational skills of large-scale warfare in Britain is the retired grave keeper in Hogwarts.
And Zhang also does not have the ability to formulate such a plan for all-out war, it is okay to brag, but he has to be blind in actual operation. However, there is a golden thigh behind Zhang's back.
The plan, which was studied by all parties in Britain tonight, was actually drawn up by the General Staff and transcribed by Zhang with a quill that imitated Dumbledore's handwriting.
In the past six years, with the efforts of the communist spies represented by Zhang, the relevant departments have collected a lot of information about the British wizarding world. Relying on this information, the relevant departments of the General Staff spent half a year formulating this plan according to the outline of the plan selected by Dumbledore.
Therefore, this plan must be mixed with some private goods. If the British parties make the next plan on the basis of this plan, they will naturally be unable to avoid some of the core mines in it.
Naturally, some people can see these contents, but in the face of such a conspiracy, they can only grit their teeth and step on it.
In the second-floor living room of Hogsmeade's Interesting Café, Horatio Rodney threw his plan on the coffee table and leaned back on the couch with a deep sigh.
"What's wrong, grandpa?" Rodney, a waitress at the café, put down the parchment in her hand and walked to the back of the couch to help her grandfather rub his temples.
"Is there a problem with this plan, Grandpa?" Nelson, who was also looking at the plan, also asked with concern.
After a while, Mr. Rodney opened his eyes and said, "This plan is certainly not Dumbledore's handiwork. Maybe the main framework was set by him, but a lot of the content in it certainly has nothing to do with him. ”
"I've spoken to Dumbledore a few times before, and I don't think he's going to come up with such a bloody plan."
"Is there anything wrong with this plan, Your Excellency?" Welsh asked, confused, "I didn't find anything in it to our detriment." ”
"The plan is that there is no problem, to destroy the enemy's living forces based on this, and finally to carry out a decapitation operation on the enemy, which can be said to be the best option in the current situation." Mr. Rodney said.
"If we only eliminate the two-pronged socket, then the dark wizards from all countries will be scattered in England, in Scotland, and in Wales without unified command, and then the whole island of Great Britain will be in a state of disaster."
"So we have to get rid of them first, so that we don't have to destroy our country with these locusts."
"However, war is about killing people, not only the enemy, but also our own people."
"Think about it, if we eliminate these dark wizards, what our own casualties will be?"
The Welsh did the math in their minds, and the final figure made them gasp.
"Don't we have any other way?" Hood, frowning, asked.
"If it had been two years earlier, we could have kept these dark wizards on the other side of the English Channel, but not now." Mr. Rodney said, shaking his head.
"So our fate can only be a lose-lose situation?" Wales' face turned bad.
"Huh." Mr. Rodney smiled and said, "The plan gives us a solution, and if we don't want too many people to die, then we have to ask for help from the international community." ”
Mr. Rodney finished speaking, and the living room fell silent.
It is not easy to invite God, and it is not easy to invite foreigners to suppress bandits. Horatio Rodney has no right to decide this matter himself, and all he can do is wait for tomorrow's meeting to discuss the plan, and then send their decision to 10 Downing Street to give the Prime Minister a headache.
"Who made such a plan?" Rodney asked.
"It's the guy who comes here often, and I guess he's in some kind of alliance with Dumbledore." Mr. Rodney said seriously, "I'm afraid that there is a force in their country behind this, and although he is very good, I don't think he can make a plan of this level on his own." ”
"So what are we going to do?" Wales asked.
"The next headache is 10 Downing Street, you can take a trick from him and see what they want to do." Mr. Rodney said.
"Looks like I'm going to have to sacrifice a little." Welsh, who is a representative of the intelligence service, said, "He is not bad-looking, and I am not at a loss." ”
"Aren't you afraid that he thinks you're old?" Hood quipped, "He doesn't usually want to eat you as much as the Aurors do." ”
"I've heard from the students that he likes the older ones." Wales said to Hood.
Mr. Rodney raised an eyebrow, then asked, "So which of you is he usually interested in?" ”
The four ladies present looked at each other, then sighed at the same time, and then stretched out their hands to the ginger and fish cakes that were sleeping in the corner.
