The Admiral of Hogwarts

In his report, the Soviet Union quickly introduced Hugo to the things he had been doing recently. After listening to these introductions, Hugo realized that compared to the conflicts the Soviet Union faced, the problems others faced were just minor squabbles.

After all, whether in the United States or the United Kingdom, the ship girls, hoping to infiltrate secretly, only had small-scale street conflicts with some local forces.

But what the Soviet Union was facing now was a real, large-scale, modern war.

However, just as the Soviet Union said, on such land battlefields, when facing ordinary enemies, the ship girls could fully utilize their advantages.

To give a simple example, when facing an attack from a fully armed enemy armored regiment, the Soviet Union and Stalingrad only fired three rounds of main gun salvos and destroyed half of the enemy's strength.

Then, from the front, together with two regiments of subordinates, they completely defeated the two divisions directly opposite them, whose morale had basically collapsed in the shelling.

From this incident, Hugo once again accurately recognized that ship girls are essentially a very terrifying weapon system.

Think about it, each of them can be a seemingly weak and harmless girl one second, and the next second, they can pour out the entire firepower of a warship at the target.

For those armed forces who are hostile to them, if a battleship girl like the Soviet Union uses the 12 152mm secondary guns on her body to attack, it is no less powerful than a heavy artillery cluster, and the 406mm main guns are completely an existence beyond the standard for most armies.

Not to mention that for those ship girls, they can completely fire their artillery shells with the terrifying precision of guided missiles.

For example, according to the Soviet Union, during her attack on a large fortress built during the Cold War, guarded by five or six hundred armed militants, she simply fired the 152mm secondary gun shells into the fortress's firing ports and entrances.

They then successfully took down the large fortification, which was previously expected to require thousands of casualties to obtain.

Therefore, the Soviet Union and the others planned to seize the most important coastline in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula this winter, and take the opportunity to block the enemy's possibility of obtaining supplies through the coastline.

By the way, they would use this time to gather enough supplies and reorganize their forces, and then launch a large-scale attack when spring blossoms.

According to declassified materials from later generations, the reasons for the outbreak of this long war in the Balkans in history were very complicated. Therefore, due to various considerations, the ship girls limited the scope of their desired control to the western part of this chaotic region, rather than the entire region.

After all, compared to the dense population in the east and various complex situations, the west, with its sparse population and simpler situation, is more in line with the needs of those ship girls.

You need to know that the reason why the ship girls participated in this war is very simple, that is, to control the home port of Piran. As for the reasons for a series of subsequent actions, they are all due to the kindness in the ship girls' hearts.

However, kindness is kindness, and the ship girls, as natural warriors, do not have any saintly personalities, so their plan is naturally the most suitable plan for the current stage after repeated deliberation.

After listening to all the reports from the ship girls, Hugo, who had been tensing his nerves, relaxed all of a sudden and fell asleep.

"Okay, we're here, stop sleeping." Feeling someone shaking him, Hugo quickly woke up. It turned out that his sister Hermione was shaking his arm.

"Ah, have we arrived already?" Hugo said, looking out the window, and found that it was snowing heavily. It seemed that Norway, which was further north than England, had more snow.

"This is much more convenient than our last trip to America, because of a series of agreements in the Western European magical world, so as British people, we don't need to register our wands after passing through customs."

While following his parents out of the arrival hall, Hermione whispered to Hugo.

"Then how do they manage their borders?" Hugo seemed a little curious.

Although he had learned from reading some books beforehand that the Ministries of Magic in the Nordic countries had streamlined procedures in many places compared to Western Europe due to their smaller populations, he was not clear about the specific process.

"It's very simple, look at the totem poles placed next to those customs stations." Hermione said, pointing to the wooden totem poles placed next to each customs inquiry counter like decorations.

"These totem poles are actually some magical detection tools. When wizards pass through these totem poles, they will automatically register."

"It is indeed a very clever method." Hugo nodded after looking at these totem poles. It has to be said that this is a very clever approach, because people who want to cross the border illegally naturally have various ways to avoid those border inspectors.

And when facing those wizards who legally enter the country through Muggle channels, these totem poles that can automatically register can obviously balance the three needs of humanization, automation, and efficiency.

After everyone left the arrival hall, the snow fell even harder. Fortunately, Mr. Granger had asked his father-in-law to make a phone reservation for a car rental before coming.

So after picking up the keys at the airport service desk, they immediately drove into the snowstorm in an off-road vehicle.

Soon after getting on the road, Mr. Granger accelerated. Because there was temporarily not much snow on the ground, and there were not many people on the streets.

Soon, this red off-road vehicle sped through the wind and snow at a speed of over 80km per hour, while passing clean and tidy streets and houses with brightly colored walls and pointed roofs.

After about half an hour, the car turned a crossroads and then stopped on a small road with shrubs on both sides.

On the side of this road, which could only accommodate three cars side by side at most, two-story detached buildings with gardens were neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

After getting out of the car, Hugo found that although there was still some time before Christmas, the Christmas atmosphere on this street was already very strong.

For example, he saw that each building here was decorated with some Christmas decorations above and in front, and bright lights also radiated from the windows of those rooms and the colored lights of the decorations.

After taking out a notebook and checking the house number, they quickly came to one of the houses and knocked on the door.

This house, like the other houses on the street, was built of gray and brown stones and bricks. There was a small garden in front of the house, separated from the pedestrian crossing by an iron fence.

On the front wall of the house, some colored lights were hung in the shape of Christmas greetings. At the same time, in front of the house, there was also a Christmas tree more than one person tall, hanging with many beautiful decorations and colored lights.

Mrs. Granger opened the door of the iron fence at this time and rang the doorbell in front of the house. Soon, the door opened. Warm light and bursts of food aroma poured out from the crack in the door, turning the snow in front of the door into gold.
