My understanding is incredible, I built a floating city in Hogwarts

For a war, what are the important factors that determine the outcome?

People tend to consider various factors, from weapons and equipment to strategic strategies, all of which are analyzed in detail.

However, on this complicated battlefield, there is one factor that always plays a vital role at critical moments, and that is intelligence.

There is no need to elaborate too much on the importance of intelligence. In history, there are numerous examples of situations where the situation in a war was reversed due to asymmetric intelligence.

For example, Yamamoto, who attacked Pearl Harbor and launched the Battle of Midway, was attacked and killed by the U.S. military because his messages were deciphered.

For another example, the daily leaks of intelligence by the national army can only make the micro-manipulation master Chang Kaishen sigh:

"There is no one in the world who has nothing in common."

In this magical world, the competition for intelligence is equally fierce.

The Death Eaters have almost infiltrated the entire Ministry of Magic like a sieve.

Among the entire Death Eater team, the White camp seems to be somewhat stretched in terms of spies. They can go deep behind enemy lines and obtain information. Snape was the only spy for important information.

Among the Death Eaters, he indeed held a high position. With his extraordinary wisdom and profound magical skills, he won the trust of Voldemort and could always obtain Death Eaters at critical moments. Important information about the disciples.

However, even such an excellent spy has his limitations.

For example, when the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic was attacked repeatedly, Snape did not tell the reason..

In comparison, Levine's intelligence methods are much better. Not only did he place two spies among the Death Eaters, he also arranged an informant around Fudge. Not to mention, he actually arranged the spies Arrive at Umbridge.

Miss"Pangolin", the king's agent, recently passed on important information to Levin: Umbridge is preparing to attack Harry and the others.

Outside the office of the Minister of Magic, the corridor is bustling with people. It was filled with officials of all kinds, their robes shimmering in the corridor lights. There was a tense atmosphere in the air.

Wizards whispered to each other, their ears tilted, trying to catch every sound coming from the office.

Among this group of wizards, Mrs. Jung, a female staff member in a simple robe, was talking nervously with her superior, Xiao Huang, Director of the Public Information Department of the Ministry of Magic. Of course, Xiao Huang and other names are called by superiors and subordinates. You have to call him Director Huang.

"Director, is there any news about the outcome of Secretary Fudge’s impeachment? Mrs. Jung asked in a low voice, her words full of worry.

The director frowned and glanced around the corridor before replying in a low voice:"There is no definite news yet... but you'd better do it." Get ready, we may have a new minister this Easter."

As soon as he finished speaking, another witch, Christian, glared at him dissatisfied.

Christian was a staunch supporter of Minister Fudge, and she could not accept such a prediction.

"Minister Fudge has enough ability to control the situation, and he is quite confident about it! Christian argued,"I believe he will be able to survive this impeachment." Also, he mentioned Dumbledore was a liar multiple times."

The director of the Public Information Department smiled slightly, as if he was not impressed by Christian's remarks.

He looked around again and found that everyone was eagerly discussing the candidate for the new minister, and then he continued with confidence:

"Everyone around Secretary Fudge knows that surviving a second impeachment is nothing more than his best wish. He himself doesn't believe it can be realized, so he can only deceive you, the inexperienced old people - er, ladies."

The director originally wanted to say"old aunt", but when he saw Christian's angry eyes, he quickly changed his words.

However, this did not calm Christian's anger.

"You want to say old aunt, right? You are the old aunt! Christian retorted angrily,"Your whole family is an old aunt!""

Her voice echoed in the corridor, causing a burst of snickers and side glances.

At the same time - the atmosphere in the minister's office was solemn.

A group of senior officials stood around the desk, while Secretary Fudge sank deep into the large leather chair , presided over this regular meeting.

The pace of the meeting was as slow and boring as ever, as if it was perfunctory.

The officials' reports were comprehensive, but empty, lacking substantive progress and decisions.

Well... none A little nutrition.

Since Secretary Fudge faced his second impeachment, such meetings have become more frequent.

Sometimes even in the middle of the night, the minister will suddenly call everyone for a meeting, which makes the officials exhausted.

The officials also try their best to deal with Minister Fudge request, just hoping to survive this difficult time.

Jodel and Delis, as the minister's cronies, are responsible for reporting on the current situation. They hold a stack of newspapers in their hands, and they use red and black arrows to carefully After marking out the reports that evaluated Fudge, they handed the marked newspaper to the minister for review. Each arrow looked particularly dazzling. Fudge's eyes slowly swept over the newspaper, and his face became darker. After reading the newspaper, he absentmindedly Sitting on the chair, nodding from time to time, but obviously not listening to anything. His right hand unconsciously held his trembling left hand, as if trying to calm the panic in his heart. His eyes were empty and confused, and he had obviously been defeated by successive blows. Confidence.

Recalling the scene in July last year when Dumbledore lost the position of President of the Federation, Fudge once thought that he had reached the peak of his life. The newspapers at that time were belittling Dumbledore and Harry Potter, and would Their descriptions are useless: how unpleasant the cry of the old phoenix is.

Or, the crazy words of the Boy Who Lived...

However, times have changed, and today's public opinion has changed dramatically.

Dumbledore, the Guardian of England, is Kick Fudge the Clown from the position of minister!

Thanks to Merlin, the Boy Who Lived is guarding justice in Britain!

These titles pierced Fudge's heart like a needle, and he felt a sharp pain.

He sat there in a daze, as if his soul Already out of body.

When Delis began to read the article in"Wizard Weekly" about Rita scolding him, Fudge raised a hand and waved:

"It's okay, I've asked Stan to go to the headquarters of"Wizard Weekly". His voice was hoarse and weak."I ordered them to ban any further coverage of Rita Skeeter's article." As long as Rita's article is banned... everything will be fine."

Delix, Yoder and Percy looked at each other with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes.

They knew that the news to be delivered next would undoubtedly be a bombshell for Minister Fudge.

Delis swallowed hard He spat and his voice was trembling:"Mr. Minister, there is a situation we need to report to you. It is about Stan. Stan, he……"

Yoder's face turned slightly pale, and cold sweat on his forehead flowed down his neck.

He took over the conversation and stammered:"Stan just resigned and went to be the editor-in-chief of Wizarding Weekly. Before he left, he said……"

Percy's eyes were slack and his complexion was yellow, as if he would fall down at any time, but he still stood up and added with his tongue tied:"He said... freedom of speech, you have no right to interfere with the reports of Wizarding Weekly" 0.....The people just want the truth so that you can stop being obsessed with it."

Fudge's browLock, speechless for a moment. But the bulging veins and gradually thickening breathing clearly indicated that his anger was about to explode.

There was silence in the office, and all the officials looked down at the tips of their shoes, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Fudge slowly raised his right hand, took off his reading glasses with trembling fingers, and placed them gently on the table.

He took a deep breath and said in a hoarse but strong voice:"Everyone, go out. Delis, Yodel and Percy stay."

The officials quickly walked out of the office as if they had been granted amnesty. They knew that"The Three of Us" was about to be performed next, and it was better for them and others to avoid it. It seemed that if they were slow, they would become the"Four of Us".

The last person to leave carefully locked the door from the outside to ensure no one would disturb them.

Fudge's eyes were as cold as frost. He stared closely at the three people in front of him. He placed his right hand heavily on the table. His hoarse but powerful voice echoed throughout the office.

"freedom of speech?"

He repeated the word sarcastically,"Since freedom of speech exists, why did Wizarding Weekly refuse to publish my interview? Why was I so called banned? They even threatened that they would not lift my ban until the second impeachment was over. Is this what they call freedom of speech?"

"This is why I am so sad and angry! His anger seemed uncontrollable, and he continued to yell:"This week, sixteen newspapers have publicly called for my resignation." These media, these so-called public opinion, they are all against me!"

Speaking of Stan, Fudge's anger was even more blazing:"What hurts me most is Stan's betrayal. He chose to resign when I needed him most? Subordinates who cannot face difficulties are the most intolerable! This despicable coward, he betrayed me and our common cause!"

Fudge’s indignation was beyond words;

"The entire Ministry of Magic is lying to me, even my minister's office! The Ministry of Magic employees I hired are just a bunch of despicable, disloyal cowards! Percy saw this and quickly explained while he was taking a breather:"Mr. Minister, please calm down." There are still people who are loyal to you……"

"Are you a loyal minister? You are a coward! But Fudge interrupted him mercilessly,"You're a scumbag who's getting in our way!" Percy was eager to defend himself:"Mr. Minister, please listen to me. We have always been following your orders."——"

"Follow my orders? Fudge sneered,"Then that's all you can do." You grown men are standing here, but you look like a bunch of cowardly guys. All you are doing is just farting!"

"It pisses me off! Minister Fudge roared loudly, angrily throwing the documents in his hand all over the floor, and throwing the pot away."Can't you have some subjective initiative to execute the orders I gave you?" When I led you to victory, you all clapped and cheered, and swore to tell me that the mysterious man could not be resurrected. But now? He is resurrected! You already know all this, why don't you tell me the truth? Are you asking me to act like a fool and accuse Dumbledore and Harry Potter of being liars?!...I should really learn from that mysterious man, learn from Stalin, and get rid of all you losers!!"

The wizards waiting at the door listened with fear to the roars coming from the office.
