Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"So when did the Floo Network become divided? Does anyone really have any objections to the decision made by the German Ministry of Magic?"

Although the situation in Germany is very special, the split is not particularly strange, but the process will definitely not be as smooth as imagined, and Anduin also suspects that there is something fishy in it.

The radical faction within the Silver Spear must have been involved in the split of the German Ministry of Magic.

Anyway, according to the intelligence revealed by Thunderbird, Germany is the base of the club, and they have supported many resistance organizations here, probably taking advantage of this divided and contradictory situation.

After Fushahui heard Anduin's question, she couldn't help frowning and sighed softly, "Hey, the Floo Network was divided five years ago..."

After Fushahui's detailed explanation, Anduin finally understood what was going on.

It turns out that in the past ten years, the atmosphere within the German Ministry of Magic has become worse and worse as the division lasted longer and longer. There have been repeated remarks that hope to divide the German wizarding world according to the existing national borders.

But in fact, this kind of speech was just a popular concept at the time and was not considered mainstream consciousness. In other words, although there were many divisive comments at the time, there were no violent conflicts.

And those who advocate separatism are just a group of relatively contradictory groups. From time to time, they will make separatist remarks at wizard gatherings or meetings of the Ministry of Magic.

However, I did not receive very clear support from others, and certainly did not receive any clear opposition.

In fact, it is the same even in Muggle society. Usually those who clamor to promote a certain bill or behavior are a few people. They just have a louder voice, which does not actually mean how many people really support them.

But most of them are ordinary neutral elements. Their concept is that if you make trouble for you, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I will just watch it as a joke.

In a society like the wizarding world, where both individual wizards and wizard families are relatively independent, there are more people who remain neutral and silent, and no one wants to express their opinions that much.

According to Fusae's recollection, although the wizards clamoring for splitting were having a lot of fun at the time and there were a lot of reports in the newspapers, in an ordinary family like theirs, it seemed that there were not that many wizards around them who really wanted to split.

At most, it's just a little disgusting with the wizards living on the other side, but it's not so much that it has to be divided into two countries.

Most of the people are a little bit emotional and dissatisfied, but they can still accept it.

But at this time, the German Ministry of Magic appointed a new minister named Dario Peter.

After Daario took office, he didn't know whether he took those separatist ideas seriously and thought that these were the aspirations of most German wizards, or because of some other reason.

He actually tried to split the German wizarding world into two halves.

And lobbied the German Wizengamot members for this purpose.

The German Ministry of Magic is actually similar to the British. There is also the Wizengamot Council. They are a bit like a collection of parliament and courts. Their members are famous local wizards, representatives of large wizarding families, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic, etc.

For example, Anduin was nominated as a reserve member of the British Wizengamot Council, and he is likely to become one of them in the future. This can also be regarded as a reward for Minister Badno and others. After all, in the previous trade agreement,

Anduin brought extremely high returns to the British Ministry of Magic.

Generally, any new policy that the Ministry of Magic wants to implement must be approved by more than half of the Wizengamot Council. If it is a major policy, it must even be approved by more than 70% of the Council members.

For example, in the UK, Minister Bardnor promoted the use of fatal curses on Death Eaters. This was considered a common policy, as long as more than half of the MPs agreed. However, after the mysterious man disappeared, liquidating Death Eaters and searching wizard families was considered a major policy.

It needs the support of more than 70% of the members.

Of course, to rehabilitate Sirius, because the incident was complicated and the impact was too great, it was also a serious case.

The bill to split Germany is of course a major strategy, so Minister Pitt must at least have the consent of 70% of the German Wizengamot members in order to pass the bill.

It stands to reason that such an outrageous bill would be impossible to pass.

But the final result is that such an outrageous bill was actually successfully signed thanks to the efforts of Secretary Pete!

Moreover, two secession bills have been passed by the Ministry of Magic. One of them is to separate the floo network of East and West Germany. East Germans cannot reach West Germany directly through the floo network and must go through the Ministry of Magic.

Another bill is to separate the 'Dudden Building' with a wall in the middle, dividing it into two halves like the Berlin Wall.

The so-called 'Duden Tower' is somewhat similar to Diagon Alley in the UK and Karahei Bazaar in Egypt. It is the trading center of the German wizarding world.

It's just that Germany is a bit special. The market is concentrated in one building, just like a department store in Muggle society.

Since the current Duden Tower is located within East Germany, wizards in West Germany who wanted to go shopping in Duden Tower had to go through the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, the German Ministry of Magic passed another bill to divide Duden Tower into two halves, with one half of the tower divided into two.

It is within the scope of West Germany and allows wizards from West Germany to reach this part directly through the floo network.

So now, after several years of hard work, Minister Peter has successfully divided Germany's transportation and business center.

According to Fusae, Minister Pitt is planning to raise funds to build a "West Duden Tower" in West Germany, so that there will be a commercial center on both sides, and the current Duden Tower will not need to be physically divided.

And after splitting transportation and commerce, Minister Pitt seems to be considering splitting the German Ministry of Magic into two, and eventually turning Germany into two countries.

After listening to Fusae's narration, Anduin could no longer find any other adjective to describe Germany other than outrageous.

He had never seen a Minister of Magic who was keen on dividing the country. This Minister Peter made Anduin frown. This man's behavior made him feel that something was wrong.

Not only him, but the entire German Wizengamot was very strange. They could actually pass the secession bill. It was really outrageous.

After such a ridiculous thing happened, the civilian wizards in Germany naturally couldn't sit still. They usually didn't react to those separatist behaviors, and that was because it had no impact on their lives.

Moreover, those separatists are having fun and expressing their dissatisfaction in disguise, so they will occasionally support these separatist organizations.

But the premise is not to really split. The ordinary wizards didn't even have the slightest precaution in their hearts, and the secession bill was passed inexplicably, which made the civilian wizards very dissatisfied.

Co-authored If I live in East Germany and work in West Germany, I have to go to the Ministry of Magic for transit, right? Wouldn’t that be a waste of my two cents of money?

Each time a wizard uses the Floo Network, it costs two Sicos, a quarter of which falls into the hands of the Ministry of Magic as transportation tax, which also accounts for a large part of the Ministry of Magic's fiscal revenue.

So in the eyes of many ordinary wizards, this is the Ministry of Magic using the Schism Act to make money in disguise, because after the bill was passed, the Ministry of Magic gained more revenue from the Floo Network fees.

Therefore, basically every day, people come to the German Magical Transportation Department Floo Network Administration to cause trouble and vent their dissatisfaction.

At the same time, civilian wizards also slowly opposed the secession in newspapers and other media. It was also because of their opposition that the secession bill failed to be further promoted in the past few years.

Otherwise, the Floo Network has been separated for 5 years, and the secession bill will be further promoted no matter what.

The current situation in Germany is very chaotic. General politicians in the Ministry of Magic, led by Peter, and some civil separatist organizations are trying to promote the secession bill and completely divide Germany into two parts.

A small number of senior officials within the Ministry of Magic, as well as a large number of ordinary people, are strongly opposed to the split, and this split has seriously affected their lives.

The two groups have been quarreling fiercely recently. If they continue like this, it may turn into a violent conflict, or even become more serious, triggering a civil war.

But what makes Anduin very puzzled is why most of the senior officials of the Ministry of Magic actually side with the separatists, while only a small number of senior officials and Wizengamot members oppose the secession.

Could the split bring any benefits to these officials, or is there something hidden in it?

At the same time, among civil groups, the separatists are obviously more organized. They will launch petitions in the name of the group, submit petitions, and publicize them in magic newspapers and magic radio stations.

The opposition is much looser. Most civilian wizards just curse a few words indignantly in life and basically have no chance to speak out on a public platform. Among them, they mainly rely on a few well-known and well-known wizards to speak out. They have a large number of people but

It can't be done in one place.

"If nothing else, behind these separatists are the Silver Spears. I don't know what their purpose is. If they still retain the ideas of the Saint Party, their goal should be to destroy the 'Secrecy Act'

Ah, what's going on with the division in Germany?" Anduin muttered in confusion. It seems that the water in the German wizarding world is deeper than imagined.

However, after understanding some of the local situation, Anduin also understood why Dumbledore, Minister Badnor, Newt and others were so concerned about the situation here and were so eager to destroy the Silver Spear.

It seems that the Silver Spear's hand is much bigger than imagined. They are not just smugglers now, but also subverting the regime. If they are allowed to succeed, Germany will be divided as a result.

But Anduin still hasn't figured out how the other party did it.
