[Ministry of Magic Signature, Hogwarts Signature]

Elena looked at the parchment in her hand carefully, her fingers flicked lightly, and she listened to the parchment pop softly, and a look of satisfaction and happiness appeared on her face - there was finally good news since she entered the principal's office.

"So, how many are there?"

"At the moment, it's 200 copies, but I estimate that about 100 people's names can be written on each copy. ”

Albus Dumbledore stood up and opened the cabinet behind him, revealing a thick stack of parchment inside.

There was a faint magical sheen at the end of each piece of parchment, and it was clear that each one had signed a full series of Ministry of Magic signatures, just like the blank employment contract in Elena's hand.

"The extradition of the first batch of personnel should be more than enough. ”

Elena nodded vigorously, a charming and lovely smile blooming on her delicate little face.

There was no doubt that the process of collecting such a large amount of blank signature documents for the Ministry of Magic was definitely not as easy as Dumbledore appeared to be—but since Dumbledore didn't say it, she would have written it down silently.

"As long as it's enough. ”

Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief quietly, his eyes looked softly at the little witch in front of him who was as excited as if he had received a holiday gift, and shook his head secretly in his heart, this child's hobbies and gifts are really not something that ordinary people can satisfy.

"What I'm curious about, though...... Miss Caslana, you should know that Hogwarts is not a refugee hostage, and providing basic food assistance is already our limit. ”

"You'll see later, Professor Dumbledore, they're the most precious treasures of the human world!"

Elena nodded earnestly, fingers on her fingers and roughly counted the next targets.

"USSR Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Physics, Viktor Scientific Center, Szeklov Institute of Mathematics, Leningrad Radium Research Institute, Dubna Joint Nuclear Research Institute, Landau Institute, Mendeleev Research Institute, ......"

To be honest, the 10,000 people she casually told Professor Dumbledore before were actually conservative estimates.

In his previous life, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, he has been displaced by various accidents, disappeared inexplicably, emigrated abroad, and evaporated from the world...... The number of researchers in the former Soviet Union is simply innumerable, and if you seriously count the number of people, there are more than 10,000 people in the entire staff of the Mikoyan Design Bureau.

Of course, the number of researchers in the core may be a little smaller, but it is still not something that Hogwarts can eat in one bite.

After counting the large leek fields, Elena subconsciously wiped the non-existent saliva on her mouth, and her two faces were dyed with a faint flush of excitement, and she came back to her senses and continued.

"The only thing I'm worried about at the moment is whether the non-magical community in the United States will be wary of the wizarding community because of the disappearance of these people, and even encourage the Magical Congress of the United States to come and pressure and rob people - to be honest, war could even happen. ”

Elena put down the parchment in her hand and said in a deep voice.

However, unlike before, this time she directly turned her gaze to Grindelwald, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

As a peace-loving headmaster, Dumbledore's personal strength is respectable, but he is too poor in the management of a comprehensive force force, and is not even comparable to a standard unit of Death Eaters.

Therefore, when it comes to military assistance, it must still be possible to rely on the "Demon King Army" of the original Dark Lord - in fact, this is also the confidence of Elena to expand her goals, and the "Saints Sunset Red Army" is still quite trustworthy.

Whether it is the construction of the magic conveyor belt for the long-distance transportation of personnel and materials in the future, or the early laying of the supply chain of Soviet shops, or even the confrontation against the American wizards who come to steal people, it will be completed by those old grandfathers.

"Well, is there such a consequence? You didn't say it before......"

Hearing those two "sensitive words", Albus Dumbledore subconsciously frowned, his expression a little hesitant.

For some reason, he had a hunch that any information that came out of Elena's mouth, even if there was only a 1 in 10,000 chance, must attract 100% attention - this was the experience that Dumbledore had gradually explored and summed up after experiencing fifty-eight angina pectoris in the past two months.

"Don't overthink it, Albus, it's just some Muggle scholar who can't even get enough to eat. ”

However, before Elena could continue to explain, a disdainful laugh came from the old man's ear.

I saw Gellert Grindelwald grinning and shaking his head helplessly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"Elena, you are a maturing witch. Sometimes don't be alarmist and exaggerate, at least not in front of me and Albus. The so-called Muggle wisdom is not so mysterious in my opinion. ”

“......”

Elena turned her head and gave Grindelwald a silent look.

Although the old potato was indeed helping her explain, it was ...... It always seems that something is wrong?

Receiving the "call for help" in the girl's gaze, the smile on Grindelwald's face became brighter and brighter.

"Yes, it is difficult for the power of a single person to have an impact on the world. Not to mention 10,000 people, even 100,000 people, in a war, it is just a slightly shocking number. ”

"Wizards, don't think too much about Muggle feelings......"

Grindelwald carefreely stroked the wand in his hand, a dangerous and proud glint in his eyes.

"Muggles may be a little clever in some areas, but on an individual level, they're not much different from the slugs you use in Potions class. If the Soviet Ministry of Magical Interior and the Magical Congress of the United States don't come out and make trouble, it only takes ten wizards to tie up all the Muggles. ”

In fact, in Grindelwald's opinion, if it weren't for making Elena happy, and at the same time taking into account Dumbledore's feelings, he would not be too lazy to care about the life or death of any Muggle expert with his personality - even an old guy like Nicol Lemay, he didn't particularly look down on it at the beginning, let alone a group of ordinary people who were unarmed with the power of the three-headed dogs of hell.

“...... Yes, yes, you're right!"

Elena glanced at Grindelwald with pride on her face, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't choose to argue on the issue.

After all, the current situation is that she is in an alliance with Grindelwald for the time being, and it is not good for her to scare the old demon king, and this kind of war of words does not make much sense whether she wins or loses.

Anyway, when those Soviet powers arrived at Hogwarts, it would be good to find a way to arrange a few trial lessons in mathematics and physics for the first Dark Lord, so that he could experience the breadth and depth of science and the boundlessness.

"Then another question, is the site selection and development form of the relief station that we expect to go smoothly?"

Elena pursed her lips and turned the conversation to Grindelwald.

"Well, what's this...... Slightly, there is a little bit of a historical legacy. But it's not a big problem......"

To Elena's surprise, I saw that Grindelwald, who was still full of confidence before, suddenly stiffened, with a distressed expression on his face, and the tone in his words instantly weakened, and there was a rare embarrassment and distraction.

Well?!

This case seems to be ...... Something went wrong?!

Elena, who was just asking casually, frowned heavily, and the expression on her face immediately became solemn.

"This is no joke! This is the most important part, there must be no problems, what the hell is going on!?"

"Well, it's not a big deal......

Grindelwald touched his nose, hesitated, and spread his hands to explain.

"Elena, do you know why the current Ministry of Magical Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union is so weak, and why there is a serious fault in magical education throughout Europe, and even the magic schools in some countries are almost dissolved?"

"In fact, these faults are all ...... that we made back then"
