Chapter 1989 "Eagle" and "Dove" (7)

Sending ambassadors to each other is a sign of friendship, while recalling ambassadors to each other is also a sign of bad relations.

Anyway, Georgiana didn't remember that foreign embassies existed in the wizarding world.

The French have set up magic items on their borders that can be used to catch strange birds, dragons and other animals, and the British can do the same. This is equivalent to setting up invisible barbed wire fences on both countries. If you want to ride a broomstick on the border like before,

It is no longer possible to travel back and forth between the two countries.

Next is portkey management. The Quidditch World Cup can be used to travel to the competition venue from all over the world through portkeys, which means that illegal travel can be carried out through portkeys.

Collecting illegally manufactured door keys and registering and managing legal door keys are all tasks of the Ministry of Magic. Georgiana asked to bring the British female Minister of Magic to the next meeting, but Septimus Malfoy did not.

He told her about the Rappaport Law enacted by Emily Rappaport, the president of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

Because Dorcas Twelvetrees revealed all the methods of hiding himself in the magical world to a descendant of the Purifier, causing a large-scale leak, this law prohibits No-Majs from marrying wizards, and also stipulates that wizards and wizards must meet

Wands cannot be legally possessed outside school until you are 17 years old, and they will remain in school during holidays.

In Europe, there has always been a certain degree of secret cooperation and liaison between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government. However, in the United States, Macusa operates completely independently of the No-Maj government. European wizards can make friends and marry No-Majs, that is,

It is said that the UK does not plan to be as strict as the United States when it comes to underage wizards holding wands.

But regarding the marriage between Muggles and wizards, Septimus felt it was necessary to reiterate, because he felt that women were less able to control their mouths than children and leaked secrets that Muggles should not know.

go out.

France's new magical world is hidden in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, which is still a forest. Georgiana promised that France would use as many hidden spells as Diagon Alley and the Leaky Cauldron, but Septimus would not let her go.

.

The Purifiers are from the United States. This is the consensus of many wizards. They appear almost wherever there is chaos.

After the French Revolution, both the United States and France became countries without kings. This made some people think that the relationship between the two countries was better than other countries with monarchs. However, in 1797, 300 ships were destroyed with the acquiescence of France.

Detained.

The foreign minister of the Directory at that time was Talleyrand. Because Napoleon was sweeping across Europe on the battlefield, the highest French authorities hardly paid attention to these weak Americans. They believed that in the great ideological struggle of 1776, the United States was trying to maintain

"neutral".

Also in 1776, Benjamin Franklin sailed to France, hoping that France could remain neutral in the War of Independence.

This time the United States purchased Louisiana. The original reason was that the Americans sent people to seek compensation from France for the losses caused by the seizure of the ship. They only wanted New Orleans, but later they wanted to buy the entire Louisiana.

No matter what the intermediate process is, if the acquisition is successful, the territory of the United States will be redrawn. At the same time, even if it is unsuccessful, the United States is currently redrawing districts.

According to ordinary people's understanding, a one-person-one-vote election should be won by the majority vote, but the original U.S. Constitution stipulated "one state-one vote", even if the electorate of the state where the constituency is located is much smaller than the electorate.

When North America became independent, there were 13 states, and you only needed the votes of 8 states to become the president. However, in 1798, the United States had 16 states, and you could not win the president with the votes of 8 states.

The Federalist Party controlled 6 states at the time, while the Democratic-Republicans controlled 8 states, and 2 states were swinging, becoming so-called "swing states." For the Democratic-Republicans, they knew very well that the key to resolving the deadlock was

The correct way is to stop the Federalist Party from continuing to play games with the Constitution and listen to the voice of the people.

The Federalists accused the Democratic-Republicans in newspapers they controlled and repeatedly pointed out that the reason why the Democratic-Republicans were able to narrowly win the electoral college was because of the disgraceful compromise between the Constitution and slavery, and the Southerners thus gained

Increase in the Electoral College.

The state boundaries in the United States are straight, and natural mountains and rivers are not used as the boundaries of administrative districts. Slaves who escaped to free states became free people.

Wherever there were escaped slaves, there were those who captured escaped slaves on horseback. Sebtimeus asked Georgiana if she planned to bring that barbaric scene to Europe?

An exposure as serious as Dorcas's would have to go through the trial process. If you can cooperate in the arrest, who will be responsible for the trial?

In short, the first meeting almost ended in this unpleasant way. The only consensus reached was that the British Ministry of Magic would serve as a facilitator in this operation and assist the French Ministry of Magic in searching a large number of forest areas in Brittany.

In addition, I will bring back a Naga from India.

Boxing does not end in one round. If someone is caught and the right to judge is in the hands of the British, then the British Ministry of Magic will still intervene in French affairs.

Even if the French Ministry of Magic wins the right to trial, there is still a problem whether there will be a judge to preside over the trial.

What's more, there are other Purifiers in France. Unlike the Purifiers hiding in the mountains, they can be hunted at will.

After leaving the cave, she did not immediately return to the hotel in Le Havre, but followed Rabastan to the headquarters of the arrest operation.

It might be a place like a wood processing factory. Rabastan called all the staff in the main fort. There were only about 10 people left in the base camp. The leader was a handsome young man. He looked very good.

Delicate, like a girl, with gray hair and a soft smile, Rabastan introduced.

"This is Thor of the Rozier family, the commander of this arrest operation."

Georgiana looked at him. This man had a temperament similar to that of Bonaparte. When he was quiet, he was like a virgin. But she didn't know if when he took action, he would cause thunder like his name.

They prepared a pensieve. Georgiana pointed the wand to her head and put a little silver-white substance into the basin. Soon they had a portrait of Mary in red.

"Give this wanted statue to Minister Lufkin." Georgiana said to the heads of the two pure-blood families, "She and the Ministry of Magic she represents are the official channels for formal communication."

"I would like to set the location of the next meeting in Calais." Rabastan said. "By the way, we will establish a border administration there and establish a national border."

Georgiana didn't say much. Rabastan was more interested in building a "border wall". In fact, the area of ​​focus was the Strait of Dover, where most cross-border travelers on broomsticks passed.

Georgiana was thinking about issuing licenses to those British Aurors who had arrived in France and stipulating the scope of their activities. Brittany was a wild area after all, and the resulting conflicts were within controllable limits. If there were too many people there,

It would be troublesome to go there.

Most of the day passed quickly, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon before she remembered that there was still a welcome party.

She flew back to Le Havre on her broomstick. Before leaving, she asked Rabastan to buy some invisibility cloaks so that he would not fly so blatantly during the day.

When she returned to the hotel, even with the waterproof spell, the cold still made her almost freeze.

She returned to her room feeling clammy and cold, and then collapsed directly on the sofa near the fireplace.

When Minerva was young, she fell in love with a Muggle. She actually didn't have to abide by that law to marry him, because the Rappaport Law was an American law and had nothing to do with Europe, so she didn't have to be so strict on herself.

Then she remembered the accusations against Sebtimus, who not only betrayed her husband, but was also sentenced to England because she fell in love with a French Muggle.

She closed her eyes and imagined that she was kissing someone. Who was this person kissing her?

She couldn't tell what he looked like, but she only remembered that his heat drove away the chill from her body.

Maybe this is another characteristic of hers. She is not independent enough. If she is alone, she will not have much motivation to survive.

She needs someone with a "fire engine" to help inject power into her.

"You are such a slut." She whispered, turning sideways and curling up into a ball, like a rolled up hedgehog, or an animal like a pangolin. It looked very powerful, but in fact, in the end

She still chooses to follow "history" and has no creativity at all. It's so useless.
