Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Seeing Scrimgeour'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 within this time, otherwise today's opening ceremony would probably be complicated.

As for why Scrimgeour found him in the first place, there is no need to ask why? These days, there is no one who dares to pull the two Ministry of Magic together to make troubles, except him, Zhang.Although his rank is not high enough to comply with the diplomatic principle of equivalence, he has more room for maneuver in many matters.

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

The cold-faced Scrimgeour didn't object, but just nodded.

The two came to the outside of the tent gate. Zhang Xu pointed to a row of security gates and said to Scrimgeour, "This is the security gate that was just installed last night. If anyone is carrying black magic items, the security gate will send out Siren."

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

Mr. Zhang scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said to Scrimgeour on the other side of the door: "Look, this is 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 bit small, it is not in compliance with the rules to use it to greet the Minister of Magic, but it is important to keep it confidential.

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

"Hmm." Scrimgeour, who was holding a teacup, looked at Zhang Xu with a puzzled expression. He hadn't expected this answer.

"At the end of the day, this is all the trouble caused by you British people." Zhang Xu said helplessly.

"Since the Gringotts Wizarding Bank was founded by the goblin Gringott, you English wizards have been fighting with the goblins for control of Gringotts. After the Goblin Rebellion in 1612, you British wizards acquiesced to the goblins' control of Gringotts Control. And the underlying reason for that rebellion was your first attempt to control Gringotts through violent means. In the following seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the British Ministry of Magic has been passing legislation and other obvious means And some other off-the-table means to limit the development of Gringotts and try to strengthen its control. This is why there were so many goblin rebellions in that period in the history of magic. At the same time, Gringotts is in a period of rapid expansion , The goblins have opened Gringotts almost all over the world with the help of the British colonists. It was not until 1865 that the British Ministry of Magic found that it was impossible to control the behemoth Gringotts, and then officially expressed their attitude and agreed to allow the goblins to completely control Gringotts. Court."

"You also know that the Ministry of Magic all over the world is very dissatisfied that the economy of the wizarding world is controlled by Gringotts of the goblins." Zhang Xu continued after telling the history, "But it is because you British wizards are not good at suppressing bandits. , so that the goblins have the confidence to take a tough stance against the Ministry of Magic of other countries, and it also makes the Ministry of Magic of those countries have doubts about the elaboration of demon suppression, and dare not take action at will."

Scrimgeour, who was holding a teacup, concealed his embarrassment by drinking tea with his head down. He didn't know what Zhang Xu said.

It is not a joke to say that the world’s wizards are unhappy with Britain for a long time. After Dumbledore became famous, he was used to pull the tiger’s skin to pull the banner. One of the reasons is that the British Ministry of Magic did not do enough to suppress the goblins, and finally took the lead in compromising with the goblins. One of the other reasons .

As early as the late nineteenth century, the Ministries of Magic of various countries were unhappy with the British Ministry of Magic's explicit approval of goblins to control Gringotts.But then Grindelwald started to make troubles in the early twentieth century, which diverted the attention of the Ministry of Magic of various countries.Later, when Dumbledore rose, they could only hold back their displeasure.

But now, Dumbledore has gone, Voldemort is only in the British Isle, and the British Ministry of Magic can't take care of themselves. This is a godsend opportunity for counterattack.

Scrimgeour smiled wryly, and then asked: "Then what does this have to do with Lucius Malfoy's mortgage of the Ministry of Magic?"

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

Facing Scrimgeour, who was staring at him with wide eyes, Zhang Xu gave him a heh-huh face.Then he went on to say: "The International Federation of Wizards is rotten and can't keep up with the development of the times. More and more oppressive countries believe that the only correct choice is to abandon it completely and start anew."

"Didn't you find out that the International Federation of Wizards has long formulated a plan for countries to support your British Ministry of Magic, but the Ministry of Magic of European and American countries only verbally agreed, and in fact, among the personnel sent by these countries to the UK, none One is part of the plan."

"Because they are all waiting, waiting for the establishment of a new organization that unites wizards from all over the world, and then they will provide all-round assistance to you in the name of this organization."

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

"Of course, in the new era, it is impossible for us to dissociate from the entire magical world." Zhang Xu continued.

"The establishment of a new international system always requires everyone to do a major event together as an opportunity, and the opportunity for the establishment of this new system is to attack Lord Gu Ling around the world. At this time, who will attack Gu Ling?" If Your Excellency Ling's attack is strong enough, then the right to speak in the new system will be greater."

"However, for various reasons, you Britons have been excluded from this operation, and it can be said that you have been excluded from the new system. If the UK wants to join this new system in the future, then you should do so. The benefits that have been eaten for many years have to be spit out."

"Fortunately, you have a Lucius Malfoy in the UK."

"When he was purchasing grain with a grain merchant in the United States, he accidentally learned of this information, and then broke in like a bull."

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

"All the dirty work is done by Death Eaters." Zhang Xu leaned back on his chair, and then replied, "I have to admire Malfoy's sharp eyesight, he noticed it right away, other The biggest problem facing the Ministry of Magic is that it has scruples when it needs to do dirty work, and the biggest advantage he has is that he can do dirty work without scruples."

"And he also guaranteed that Gringotts headquarters in Diagon Alley could be attacked if necessary."

Zhang Xu didn't need to say what happened next, Scrimgeour figured it out himself.While trying to understand, it also gave him a headache.

In this matter, Lucius Malfoy can receive a plaque with the words "National Hero" and hang it at the gate of Majiazhuang.The British wizarding society is a society controlled by capital, and those big bosses of capital can all realize how huge benefits Malfoy has made for Britain in this matter.Even if it was No. [-] Downing Street, they would have to pinch their noses to acknowledge Malfoy's contribution.

As for Scrimgeour, if Zhang Xu hadn't obliquely let him get into the car first and then told him the cause and effect of the incident, he might have been kept in the dark until the last moment.

While Scrimgeour was drinking his boring tea with his head down, Zhang once again complained in his heart that the Yankees were not honest.

It's not surprising to find yourself as a messenger for such an important matter, but you don't want someone like Mrs. Adams who can chat to death as the messenger of the United States.When she was at the Burrow that night, Mrs. Adams asked herself out to talk to herself about it.As a result, she chose the wrong topic at the beginning, and then she had an occupational disease attack and gave herself a legilimency, which made her think that she was here to ask questions about Grindelwald, so she had to cheer up and hide she.If she hadn't written a letter explaining the situation in the end and asked her to take it back to the country, then this would have been a lot of fun.

After drinking two cups of tea while meditating, Scrimgeour finally asked: "Which 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 his teacup, and left with a toothache on his face.
