Vol 2 Chapter 1155: ?protest activity

In the face of the international magical world's open and secret struggles, facing the international pressure on Hogwarts after floating in the air, the British magical community now more and more clearly feel the impact of the embargo on all aspects of life and economy.
In this operation, the German and Bulgarian magic circles took the lead in organizing the anti-British magic circle alliance, and it more specifically launched a trade blockade against the British magic circle, focusing on cutting off various imported raw materials from the United Kingdom. They used their own countries to treat other countries. The influence of the United Kingdom and the fear of others after the rise of the United Kingdom. This alliance against the British embargo trade network was rapidly expanded by them and spread to other small and medium-sized countries around the world. It has formed a picture from all directions like a dark cloud. The trade blockade of Britain.
The corresponding embargo measures that followed more closely were further refined and quickly implemented. Just like the British banned the use of flying carpets in the Arab magical areas, the magic boats of Hogwarts also suffered resistance from other countries and were banned. Entering the territory, although there is no transportation difficulty for wizards to use the Traceless Expansion Charm, this attitude still shows the determination of other countries.
They have adopted more targeted sanctions against Harris' umbrella group, and have targeted the most powerful pharmaceutical industry that started with the umbrella. While controlling the import of raw materials, they have focused on increasing the cost of the umbrella's pharmaceuticals and at the same time aggressively suppressed the price of finished medicines. , In order to prevent the umbrella’s potions from gaining profit. They tried to make the cost of making the umbrella’s potion so high that there was no profit at all. The ultimate goal of these alliances was not only to make the umbrella without the economic pillar, but also to pass it. The most advantageous project to combat the umbrella locally, trying to make Harris lose confidence in confrontation.
These countries were not supported by some wizarding merchants in their countries for the closed trade with Britain. However, following the pure blood pressure from the Ministry of Magic and the passage of a new restriction, they faced a reduction in profits. And under the risks brought by it, they also had no choice but to stop trading with the UK.
But before these things got to this point, the umbrellas made preparations, made a lot of purchases and introduced some rare plant seeds to try to use energy nuclei to produce them on the floating city. Even if the friendly country is supported by France, it does not show any disadvantages-but it also gives Harris opponents a reason to criticize Harris: they can protect themselves, but ignore others' Life and death.
After this new attack of public opinion, these allied countries further expanded their offensives. Under the plan made by Muggles and half-blood wizards, the pure-blood families behind these countries and the elves who stood on the opposite side because of the establishment of the Harris Wizarding Bank completed Together, they integrated the funds, and began to come to the British magic circle and the British native anti-Harris pure-blood family to contact, buy the original raw materials of the British magic circle regardless of gains or losses, to further destroy the British production and economy— —This has indeed played a role. The lack of raw materials has caused some companies to drastically reduce their production output. Some companies that did not participate in the previous anti-Harris family suspension movement have also fallen into the dilemma of the imminent suspension of production.
This also caused more wizards to lose their jobs after the anti-Harris pure-blood family closed their business. There are also some pure-blood families who didn’t want to stand in line and just want to live a normal life. They were forced to start thinking about the loss of business. Joined the anti-Harris camp.
This is the offensive purpose of Harris' opponents. The next step is to wait for the British Ministry of Magic and Harris to show up. According to their previous plan announced by the Wizarding Bank, they began to fund and rescue these companies and individuals. No matter how strong the financial power is, it is bound to be inferior to the combined strength of the Allies. If it is caught in a long-term economic struggle, this will cause the British social system to fall into chaos. After more variables, it can further hit Harris and even make the opponent lose control of the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, the recent wizarding media news, whether it is the headlines of various magazines or the news of Harris' own TV station, seem to be inseparable from the topic of economy. This topic has become the most concerned about the British magic circle and even other magic circles. topic.
In the old shop of the Three Broomsticks in Hogwarts Floating City Hogsmeade Village, the graceful and beautiful-faced Ms. Rosemerta is taking care of a group of noisy wizards at the bar, compared to her in the commercial plaza. In the larger new store, she prefers to personally take care of this old store and communicate with her regular customers.
At this time, the attention of the wizards was not on the charming female boss like most of the time, but on the news being broadcast on the wizard TV hanging on the bar counter.
"Now the news in this country is only shit, shit, and rain..." A wizard slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, "What the is the Magic Congress of the United States doing? Those European countries are here. , Dirk, where did we offend them except your fairies? Actually even took the lead to deliberately pass such a decree..."
"They are imitating their Muggle government's "Torricelli Law". National companies that have traded with us in the United Kingdom cannot do business in the United States within half a year. Fortunately, our wizards can deliver things without those Muggle cargo ships. …" Dirk Creswell has had a hard time as the goblin liaison office lately. The wizards and goblins are all asking him to make trouble, but he has no way of doing this, so he can only often hide in the bar.
"Even our tea is within the ban on trade... Ravenclaw is here... These Yankees must have planned for a long time to exercise their own coffee... I tasted it at the Commercial Plaza on the recommendation of an American student. This frothy gray...I still feel disgusting in retrospect." The wizard seemed to be disgusted by the bad memory in his mouth, he took a quick sip of the wine, and then remembered something, he He raised his glass and looked around at his companions, "But this does not exactly mean that the strength and development potential of our UK has made the world feel terrified. As long as we survive this difficult period... Come and drink for our mighty Hogwarts. A cup."
After a sharp clinking of glasses and a higher-level clapping ceremony, the wizard put down the wine glass and let out a burp.
Dirk Cresway was worried after putting down his glass: "But the decree made by the United States... If other countries that oppose us follow suit... Our neighbors across the ocean, those French guys, are unreliable. You all know them. Is the flag of the Muggle government? I heard it was because they cut the other ends of the three-color flag and left the middle one for surrender..."
The noise outside the pub interrupted the group's discussion, and they moved to look out the window.
It turned out to be on the streets of Hogsmeade Village. Those unemployed wizards and businessmen whose output fell due to the embargo and who were unable to start work gathered together, staring at the clouds above their heads, holding high the constantly changing text. Wooden sign, expressing his protest loudly.
These anxious and angry protesting crowds have appeared in various areas of a noisy and prosperous floating city. It has been several days. The despair and decay on their faces have made many people come to feel the prosperity and the advanced. Foreigners, feel the sharp contrast of decline.
"We protested that the recent unscrupulous actions of the Ministry of Magic ~EbookFREE.me~ have led to hardship for those of us who are unable to sustain it."
"The soaring production and operating costs and the plummeting prices of goods have put our production and life in a difficult situation. In this regard, our magic [Dida novel] law department has actually done nothing, it seems to let us let us, regardless of our life and death. !"
"The help of the Wizard Bank promised by the Umbrella Group has not yet appeared. No one has come forward and said that they will assist us. This is angering and chilling."
...
The media cameras focused on these protest slogans, banners and other objects held high by the protesting wizards: "Strongly demand that Hogwarts compromise and allow foreign countries to lift the embargo", "Shit decision to tear the economy", " Headed by Harris, the culprit of the embargo"...
Although the armed forces of the umbrella will increase or decrease their manpower according to the number of protesters, they only maintain a high level of vigilance. No one has stepped forward to stop the wizards. They are obviously powerless to do so. These protesters did not have any real violent resistance. , There was no harassment to entangle other wizards or shops, and under their abnormal request to restrain them from the female head of the red umbrella department, Miss Krivat, they had no way to hinder the actions of these people.
