Volume 3: A Tombstone Stained with Sin and Blood Chapter 128 International Situation
He chose the hellishly difficult country of Britain to start his journey to acquire rights.
Here is one of the largest Ministries of Magic in the whole of Europe, and Dumbledore, who is recognized as the most powerful upright wizard in the world. Voldemort did not adopt the guerrilla strategy of shooting and moving to another place, but fought to the death on the island of Great Britain.
However, although his theory was much more radical than Grindelwald's, and he even proposed killing all Muggles and leaving only wizards in the world, he also learned from past experience and never explicitly expressed his intention to overturn the Statute of Secrecy.
Not touching the Statute of Secrecy is equivalent to not touching the bottom line of wizards around the world.
Moreover, the "pure-blood superiority theory" can still maintain the rule of the existing ruling class, so other magical governments are on the sidelines when Voldemort is stirring up trouble .
No matter how brutal he behaves in Britain, that is Britain's internal affair. As long as he does not harm others, other magical governments will be happy to see unrest in Britain.
With Voldemort's lust for power, his sights are certainly not limited to the British Isles. This is just the starting point for his conquest of the world. As long as he successfully completes his rule over the British wizarding world, he can use this as a foundation to influence other magical governments in Europe.
After all, when he is not too crazy, his ideas and governance methods actually represent the interests of the vast majority of pure-bloods and half-bloods (new-style pure-bloods).
And once the most difficult part is completed, just like the ancient siege wars, once a fixed large city is occupied, the other small cities will also surrender, and most of the small magic regimes in Europe will not be able to resist his invasion at all.
It’s just that Voldemort in the original book became crazier and crazier as time went on, and he believed the savior’s prophecy, creating a fateful enemy for himself, and wasted more than ten years because of it.
Even so, after he was resurrected and made a comeback, he successfully "designed" to kill Dumbledore and occupied the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts for a time. If it were not for Harry Potter, the destined savior, he would most likely have been able to complete his rule over Britain.
Now the situation is even more different.
After Voldemort killed Harry Potter, he became more rational, and his personal charm returned to the time when he first established his power. Most importantly, he completed his all-round domination of the British wizarding world more than ten years in advance. Although he did not kill Dumbledore, he defeated him head-on, bringing his prestige to its peak.
At the same time, he relaxed the restrictions of the pure-blood theory, putting oppression only on the "mudbloods", and the half-blood wizards with the largest base were promoted and given more rights to check and balance the pure-bloods. The lives of most other people did not change much.
This made the British wizarding world, which had originally changed its political power and redistributed interests, more stable, and even more and more wizards were loyal to Voldemort.
Even if Dumbledore and the resistance forces still exist, his position cannot be shaken at all.
Now, the benefits of Voldemort's implementation of such a system have been seen by the neighboring French Ministry of Magic, which has accepted Muggle wizards who escaped from Britain. French wizards who know more about Britain than wizards in other countries are also very clear about who benefits and who harms such a system.
The French Ministry of Magic also had an ambiguous attitude towards Voldemort's government and had never even issued any condemnation of it. However, after Slughorn became the director of the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the exchanges between the two departments became even more frequent.
From what happened in the pub today, we can see a lot of things. Voldemort is having an increasingly greater impact on the world outside of Britain.
After figuring all this out, Jon no longer had the relaxed attitude he had when he first arrived in France.
For the entire European magical government, the past few years have been at a very delicate juncture. The more stable the government headed by Voldemort is, the more they have to express their attitude towards this social system.
The subtle key lies in that no matter what attitude they express, it will not ease the bloodline conflict, but will instead aggravate it.
So far, no magical government has made any statement on Voldemort's rule. Just treat the British Ministry of Magic as the same Ministry of Magic as before, and everyone will continue to get along as before.
But they can't maintain the status quo forever. In the future, someone will definitely force them to fight. These people may be wizards in their own country, or they may be... Voldemort himself!
Jon thought about these things at night and finally fell asleep without knowing when.
The next morning, Dumbledore took him to have breakfast in the pub again, and then the two left together.
They walked out of the Place Montmartre, the French street of Diagon Alley, and came to the Muggle settlement.
Then Dumbledore took Jon to the edge of a deserted town using the Apparition method in an unnoticed alley, and in front of them sat a small wooden house.
This wooden house doesn't look big, but the door frame is very high, reaching all the way to the roof, about four meters high.
They arrived at the door of the cabin, and Dumbledore knocked on the door regularly, first knocking twice in succession, and then knocking three times intermittently.
Soon, this strange door was opened from the inside, and as she opened the door, Jon was also shrouded in a shadow.
This was a very tall witch, and Jon even thought she might be taller than Hagrid.
The witch was wearing an ordinary aqua blue robe and a pointed hat on her head. She looked a little haggard, and even after seeing Dumbledore, she still looked alert.
Dumbledore didn't say anything, but tapped his wand gently at himself and John, and the next moment they returned to their original appearance.
"Long time no see, Madame Maxime."
"Oh! Albus, you're finally here!"
The witch called Madame Maxime immediately showed a surprised expression on her face. She bent down and hugged Dumbledore, then took them both into her hut.
Dumbledore introduced her.
"This is my student, Jon Green. I brought him to France to have a look."
"Hello, ma'am," Jon greeted politely.
The moment he saw the witch, he recognized her identity.
There is only one witch with such a figure in the original book, and that is Olympe Maxime, the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Magic who appeared in the Triwizard Tournament, a witch with giant blood.
