"Now I'm finding it harder and harder to understand this Golden Knight, but at least this trip confird one thing: Director Andre of the Departnt of Magical Law Enforcent is not with the Silver Spears. Also, that fireplace installed in the secret room—do you think it leads to No. 1 Park?" Hog analyzed the currently known information.
"Possibly, but for now, let's not act rashly. Continue to monitor Mr. Clent. I think he will soon show us the way to enter and exit No. 1 Park." Alan smiled coldly. The benefits this badge brought them haven't shown yet.
"Understood, sir." Hog also saw a breakthrough in this and was now excited. "Judging from Golden Knight's reaction just now, the Silver Spears is now facing difficulties in replenishing magical creatures. Once we take over those parks, I guarantee their internal affairs will fall into chaos." After sighing, Hog asked curiously, "By the way, sir, what do you think of those civilian organizations they ntioned earlier? It seems there's another force resisting them. Do we need to intervene?"
Alan shook his head lightly at the words. "That's none of our business. We'll just watch quietly. After all, our target is the Silver Spears. I have no intention of getting involved in Germany's internal affairs at the mont."
"Then their so-called Berlin United Front is going to be in big trouble. Maybe all their efforts will be in vain." Hog, as if nothing had happened, joked with a mischievous grin.
"That depends on whether the people behind the Berlin United Front truly have the courage…" Alan replied noncommittally.
"Oh? You have other thoughts on this matter? Could it be that they can still make a coback?" Hog tilted his head in surprise.
"Strictly speaking, the core purpose of such civilian activities is to gain public support. Clent and his group are making such a fuss for this very reason. To achieve division, the simplest way is to accumulate hatred. Now the Silver Spears controls so civilian organizations on both the East Germany and West Germany sides. As long as these people cause trouble occasionally, preferably forming their own factions and engaging in public brawls, and then drawing in bystanders, hatred can be spread. And once this kind of thing breaks out, public opinion will definitely be biased. Based on sympathy and regional bias, East Germany people will definitely support East Germany organizations, and West Germany people will also support West Germany organizations. This is the simplest logic, and it's the goal the Silver Spears wants to achieve." Alan did not directly answer Hog's question, but instead explained the behavior patterns of these organizations to him.
"So the more these people stir up trouble, the greater the divide between East Germany and West Germany becos, and in the end, they will instinctively reject people from the other side, just like William we encountered. Is that what you an?" Hog was quite intelligent and imdiately understood.
"Exactly."
"Then why do you think their actions this ti will change? It doesn't seem to be any different from before." Hog looked at Alan in confusion.
"That's because the previous conflicts were actually all from the sa group of people. Their so-called conflicts sotis resembled acting, and the degree was very easy to control. But now it's a bit different. The civilian organizations opposing them include people from both East Germany and West Germany, and they are not under their control. It's very easy for accidents to happen when things escalate. Don't think that once a conflict is provoked, it's easy to extinguish. If soone gets carried away, anything can happen." Alan then smiled coldly. "And if there really are people manipulating them from behind, perhaps the situation will further deteriorate—a proactive deterioration."
"Oh? How will it deteriorate?" Hog still didn't quite understand politics.
"Hehe, that depends on whether the people behind the Berlin United Front are ruthless enough." Alan smiled coldly. "If it were , I would arrange for a wizard to use the Imperius Curse to control a person from the West German Endeavor Society, and then strike hard, killing one or two people at the conflict scene, preferably West Germany people from the Berlin United Front."
"Ah? Why control the other side's people to kill their own?" Hog's eyes widened at the words.
"Because this way, the West German Endeavor Society will transform from an ordinary civilian organization into a violent gang. They will lose their legitimacy, and the people who die in the Berlin United Front will be West Germany people, which will also provoke resistance from West Germany people, further causing them to lose the support of the West Germany public. The sa applies to East Germany. If managed well, it could even stir up a wave of opposition to division in public opinion." Alan had seen a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life. These color revolutions, to put it plainly, were dramas self-directed and self-acted by ordinary people, but if soone truly jumped out to disrupt the show, things could easily collapse.
"Good heavens, would they go that far? If it's truly as you predicted, then these politicians' hearts are too dark." Hog couldn't understand this thod of sacrificing one's own people to gain public opinion.
"So, it depends on whether the people behind the other side are ruthless enough, and the Silver Spears should also be on guard. The specific outco still depends on the result of the incident." However, Alan had no intention of getting involved in these ssy affairs. He just wanted to be a quiet bystander.
On the other side, Clent was busy all day and didn't return to No. 1 Park again, though the black market he managed was itself the headquarters of the West German Endeavor Society. Speaking of which, as a major collaborator of the Silver Spears, Clent truly had a lot on his plate. Not only did he have to help manage the black market and No. 1 Park, but he also had to lead the West German Endeavor Society, a civilian organization, and he also had to diligently manage his own businesses.
So it's no wonder the Silver Spears was unwilling to absorb him into the club and make him an official mber, because Clent's ability was indeed too strong. This guy was not only versatile but also had superb managent skills. In the eyes of his employees, he was a stern yet considerate good boss, and in the eyes of the Silver Spears, he was a capable manager who could calmly handle multiple affairs.
In the next two days, nothing special happened at the breeding base, Clent, or the Silver Spear headquarters. Clent also had no plans to go to No. 1 Park these days. He was either managing his own shops or dealing with matters concerning the black market and the West German Endeavor Society.
On the contrary, Alan here unexpectedly received invitation letters from Minister Peter and Director Andre, inviting him to et at the Ministry of Magic.
"This is interesting. Director Andre actually sent an invitation imdiately after Peter invited . I wouldn't consider this a coincidence. Does this an Director Andre has been keeping an eye on Minister Peter?" Alan looked at the two invitation letters in his hand with interest, but this was a good opportunity for him to thoroughly gauge the two n. Thinking this, Alan didn't delay. After tidying his attire slightly, he set off for the German Ministry of Magic.
And the person who greeted him again was none other than the witch at the front desk, Fuchsie.
"Mr. Wilson, I didn't expect us to et again. The music box you gave last ti was absolutely wonderful. Everyone else in the Ministry was so envious." Fuchsie's deanor beca even more effusive after seeing Alan again.
"I'm also very happy to see you again. I haven't seen you in a few days. I hope everything has been going smoothly for you?" Alan said courteously while handing Peter's invitation to her.
"Oh, don't even ntion it. More and more people have been coming to the Ministry of Magic to protest lately." Fuchsie sighed helplessly.
"Is it those people making trouble at the Departnt of Magical Transportation again? You should do sothing about it. Letting them intrude isn't good for administrative efficiency." Alan glanced left and right and indeed saw many groups of wizards. So were distributing flyers to passersby, while others held banners and shouted loudly.
There were representatives from East Germany, and representatives from West Germany. Now, there were even many mixed groups explicitly protesting the division. He even saw many goblins present, which was very unusual. Although these people didn't do anything outrageous besides distributing flyers and protesting, it was still sowhat unsightly. They had almost filled the Ministry of Magic lobby. He wondered what Minister Peter was thinking, not sending anyone to disperse these guys.
"These past few days have been even more troubleso than before." Fuchsie complained incessantly after receiving Alan's docunts. "Two days ago, the International Magical Cooperation Departnt, under Minister Peter's orders, also began to divide its offices. Of course, for now, it's limited to the International Magical Trade Standards Association departnt."
"But this departnt manages all dostic rchants and trade, so recently, in addition to ordinary citizens, many rchants have also co to protest. After all, if the new policy is implented, different businesses must determine whether they are East Germany or West Germany rchants and obtain the corresponding business license, which ans they might not be able to do business with the other side in the future."
"Although businesses between East Germany and West Germany were already in a state of not interfering with each other before, that was just an unwritten rule. Now, the Ministry wants to directly issue official regulations, which many business owners cannot accept, and so individual businesses are extrely resistant. The most vocal among them are the goblins from Gringotts. Although their bank is located in the East Duden Building, it has always operated without distinguishing between East Germany and West Germany. They are unwilling to spend money again to build another bank in West Germany."
At this point, Fuchsie seed to realize sothing and imdiately looked at Alan. "By the way, Mr. Wilson, you seem to be doing business in Germany too, right? Then you also need to be careful. The International Magical Trade Standards Association is in complete chaos right now."
