Chapter 1376? Choose a chance
A few days later, in Hogwarts Floating City, the umbrella was moved to the president's office on the highest level of the headquarters here. It uses all floor-to-ceiling glass windows. You can see the scenery of the surrounding area of the Floating City University at a glance. The headquarters as a whole is more magical than the surrounding architectural style, because the president's origin and preferences are more Muggle-modern.
In Hermione's office, which is rarely used normally, in order to make the changes after Allen became the president of the Wizards Federation, many wizards related to Harris have been sitting here for the first time.
After using the projector to play a lot of icons and a series of data reports that most wizards here can't understand, Hermione's spine was straight, her cheeks were rosy, her tone and tone were slightly raised, with a sense of joy: "The establishment of the global trade network makes matters no longer a problem. In fact, we can make a lot of money just as the largest logistics center for transit. More importantly, no matter whether they have a floating city or not, they will no longer have reason to be hostile to us."
Even though Britain was strong before, it was isolated by various countries and surrounded by hostile countries, which made Hermione a little doubt whether it was wrong on his side. But now other countries have changed their attitudes all of a sudden. Britain's international situation has changed drastically from before. I understand why Hermione, who had the courage to be hostile to most countries in the world, admired Alan even more.
"If there is no problem with the materials..." Lunn's quill pen turned his fingers. He paused and a little heaviered his tone. "Since trade has been restored and the sanctions have ended, we don't need to invest too much in the development of the previous areas mixed between the borders of various countries? They seem to have little economic value... Of course, if you have invested it, don't waste it, can you maintain operation as a deterrent?"
"Lunn, your point of view makes sense, but I want to say my thoughts from another perspective." Grindelwald's fingers brushed over his well-trimmed beard and said slightly behind him. "These places are indeed a bit biased, but it is recommended that we directly use them as our ownership afterwards, but the trade network for this time serves as one of the main strongholds for establishing a permanent portal in the local area..." He smiled at the bewildered Lunn, "I think we should also increase investment to make these places develop in remote areas, and because they are not large in size, we can even try to make it look better than most of these countries' own cities..."
"Good arrangement." Allen praised affirmatively. Now that his intelligence has been further improved, he will not spend his time on these things, and he will instantly fully understand Grindelwald's idea. "In the magical French like France or Russia, these pioneering areas will make it focus on its business responsibilities without too much. Those not so powerful... let them be unable to leave us first, but if some wizards with enough talent do not have enough development platforms in the local area... it is not troublesome to expand the floating city, and the current scale is still far from complaining..."
"Oh, you mean population..." Lun also turned his mind after this reminder. He quickly understood the other party's thoughts and kept up with his thoughts. "When they were used to having Britain around them... they were used to becoming habits and dependence on it, so that those backward areas could see that even such barren lands could develop into what they envied and live a desirable British life..."
Other wizards also recognized Grindelwald's concept. Hermione was not the naive little witch at the time. She was already familiar with the company's president. She carefully recorded it on parchment paper with a quill pen, intending to go back and try to create details of the plan that would benefit more people.
"Do I have no objection to these plans? But I want to go and have a long vacation for Albert..." Penelo raised his hand and made apologetically demands, "Hogwarts' teaching tasks, the establishment of peacekeeping troops, and the maintenance of public security in the Red Umbrella Department that is needed for the development of these pioneering areas... I have learned the multiple shadow clones recently, otherwise I would probably have to stop working in the school..." Then she said to Hermione, "In addition, Miss All News, I just finished reading the information you provided. I think the umbrella should not provide so many advanced equipment for the troops of the International Federation, and they are not our own people."
"Penello, this is actually what my father meant. Although the operations of the peacekeeping force are nominally commanded by the International Joint Wizards Conference, we are now responsible for training and equipment, and their station is also in our floating city..." Lunn explained in vain Hermione, then looked at Grindelwald as if he wanted to show his skills in front of him. "So, we need to look at this issue in a different mindset. Wolf Mom's umbrella squad has nothing to do except be an assistant coach, so we can be sent to be officers of these peacekeeping forces. Their strength is enough to make other countries unable to question it. This has also changed direction and strengthened our control..."
"Although people in the red umbrella department may be able to command it easily... However, compared to this small disadvantage, it is better to push the peacekeeping troops to others in vain." Allen also spoke, "And some tasks themselves are dangerous. It may not be pleasing to let our people do the umbrella by themselves. Let the peacekeeping troops do some results and let these countries that have made some efforts see some actual results." As he said, Allen took out his pocket watch with one hand, looked at the time, stood up and said, "Sorry, we agreed with Professor Frieve to pick up people before. An American friend I know is coming to college and has to come and take a tour of the floating city... Let's go first."
"There will be a performance tonight at the Three Broom Bar, and Tina Warbeck was invited to sing in person... Oh, Helena and her female ghost choir will go." Lun leaned on the chair, bringing some pleasure in his always serious tone. "My cousins want to see it too. If you don't go home for dinner, it's better to tell your mother that she hasn't been addicted to cooking for too long during her pregnancy."
"Alan, when you came back from the United States, you also gave me a set of Ifamoni's magic textbooks." Hermione scratched her chin with the quill in her hand, and sighed, "I had no knowledge at that time, and I thought that their magic textbooks were compiled very reasonably, and there were some places that were better than Hogwarts."
"It's a pity that Alan, the seamstress who gave me the clothes was dead, and it became out of print..." Penelo curled her lips and showed off her dissatisfaction. Suddenly, she put down her raised legs and turned her head alertly and asked, "Come to Hogwarts... Is it from the family you met when you went to the United States in the second grade?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Leonard's niece. She's going to come and study. He has no children, but he raised two children with Jessica and Ian. He is also a close friend of Professor Flitvie, so Vito, let's help take care of him...uh?" Allen first answered honestly, then noticed Penelo's more vigilant expression. Finally, he realized what the other party was worried about. He opened his mouth and said, "It's impossible for me and her, because... that..."
Allen opened his mouth and wanted to explain that he was quite different from Jessica but had never had any ambiguity. However, he suddenly realized the situation between him and Penelo and wisely wanted to change his words, but this hesitation made him look even more suspicious.
"Then I'll go with you, anyway, mine will be fine..." Penelo said simply without further doubt, and then hesitated for a moment she looked at Hermione, "Miss All-Time, are you not here? You can just explain the allusions in your head to the other party."
Hermione's expression became a little confused and surprised. She never expected Penelo to invite her. Seeing that she did not respond, Penelo's long legs suddenly kicked her down and kicked Hermione's calf.
Hermione, who had a harsh voice, glared at Penelo in anger, but saw the other party's big, wide-spread eyes glanced at Allen. Hermione recalled Alan's words just now, and finally realized the key points to pay attention to.
Hermione, who understood, poked her fluffy hair with a quill tube and said, "Allen, since it's your friend and a witch, Penelo and I will also go over and help with the reception, otherwise she may not be too comfortable."
Alan looked at the exaggerated and obvious expressions of the two men helplessly, trying to say something, but the sound of the yin and yang of Grindelwald sounded first.
"Allen, you young people are visiting Floating City and Hogwarts together. I won't join in the fun. I'll come to entertain her and visit college when she enters."
