Chapter 162 The situation of drastic changes
Precisely because he could only passively accept the pull of the closed time loop, Gretel knew that his trip would take a considerable amount of time.
This is why he tried his best to arrange everything before he left.
No one knows why Kunlun's mere contact with Dawn would cause such great resistance from the American governments.
Even dragging the whole world into endless war.
After Gretel left, the conflicts in the modern world have become more intense.
The Americans didn't know what great changes had taken place. Not long after Gretel left, they brazenly issued a statement against magic all over the world.
Eliminate traces of magic in the Americas, including but not limited to alien wizards.
Even simple items that may involve magic will be searched out by them and then destroyed centrally.
Forget it, after clearing the Americas, they focused their attention elsewhere.
In just a few months, relying on military strength that is unparalleled in the world, they started from Africa, which is the weakest.
Just like the extermination of the Native Americans, they carried out ruthless raids on the tribes in Africa.
Various countries issued protests one after another, but under the threat of force from the Americas, the protests were all shelved and no one dealt with them at all.
The entire American government was mobilized from top to bottom and became a veritable war machine.
If we say that in the past few decades, when they lit up the fireworks of war around the world, they only acted as the masterminds and black market buyers.
Now they have simply torn off the mask of hypocrisy on their faces.
Their purpose is not even to capture and govern, but simply to destroy.
It would be okay if the local government cooperated and helped them kill magical creatures.
They were just doing things like burning, killing and looting.
If the local government raised the slightest objection, what would follow would be an inhumane land clearing of ammunition.
Regardless of whether it is a wizard or an ordinary Muggle, or simply a natural environment, they will carry out indiscriminate bombing.
There would be no thought of stopping until the area was burned to ashes.
In this case, the right to speak has also been unified in a country that has always advocated freedom of life.
If anyone sends a signal of opposition, the person involved will be immediately arrested, interrogated and sentenced within a very short period of time.
Under this threat, all countries in the world have to mobilize.
Citizens of countries with insufficient military strength seek refuge in powerful countries.
Countries with acceptable military strength are actively organizing resistance. Even if they cannot defeat them, they cannot just let others slaughter them.
Ordinarily, with this situation occurring, politicians who have always known how to balance interests should carefully consider whether their expenditure is worth it.
But no.
People found that when someone began to resist, the attacks from the Americas became more violent.
The mobility of modern warfare has been developed to the extreme in the Americas.
But what no one can understand is why a country, even if it is powerful, should not have conquered all of Africa, all of Oceania, most of Europe, and so on within half a year. most of Asia.
In these so-called occupied areas, all magical creatures were captured. If they resisted at all, they would be executed.
It was not that no one resisted during this period, but the strange thing is that the resistance did not achieve corresponding results.
No matter what tactics they adopt, the American governments still gobble up everything they want to capture.
It was also the first time for wizards to see the power of modern Muggle weapons and equipment.
The life detection system makes them invisible when approaching the American camp.
No matter how powerful the spell was, it seemed vulnerable to the overwhelming firepower.
Vera even tried to use her secrets to delay time, but found that as long as they showed signs of taking action, they would be dealt with immediately by the American government.
It was as if the Allied intelligence had been infiltrated into a sieve by them.
As more and more countries fell, the places where wizards could hide were reduced to the extreme.
The Dawn of Great Britain branch had completely withdrawn from England a month ago due to the rejection of Great Britain.
Meet in the direction of Moldova.
Located in the hinterland, it has not yet been troubled by war.
But the invisible cloud of war has already surrounded this place along the ocean and sky.
Part of the American Army has already stabilized the results in Europe and is just waiting for the Air Force and Navy to form an encirclement.
Originally, the American government was only dealing with the wizarding world. Normally, when Muggles found that resistance was useless, they should acquiesce in the American government's strangulation of magic.
The amazing thing is that in those areas that have fallen, the intelligence coming out shows that America has a very powerful wizard army.
This has to cause others to think deeply.
Just like strategic weapons, when no one has them, everyone can sit back and relax.
But once someone owns it, no one can sleep peacefully again.
You must have your own strategic weapons in the shortest possible time.
This is a balance of military and national power.
Muggles may not be very clear about magic.
But among all the political figures in various countries who are high enough to know the secrets, who doesn’t know the existence of magic?
Those myths and legends are not all myths. It is not an exaggeration to move mountains and fill seas, to reach for the stars and the moon.
It's just that wizards gradually declined in the course of history.
Therefore, no one is willing to give up magic unless someone actually puts a knife to their neck.
In this case, most countries did not cooperate with the American authorities and strangled the wizards in their own territory.
On the contrary, he also provided a lot of help when the wizard retreated.
It is true that before most people meet wizards, they still think that wizards and Muggles are two different races.
But when those people who were no different from them in appearance or language stood in front of them, they really couldn't say that they were all aliens against their will.
It was under such a situation that the wizard first felt the kindness from the ancient world.
Kindness is always rewarded with kindness.
War usually brings hunger, but not this time.
The magic spells of the wizards have helped refugees like them very well.
If there is a lack of food, use a growth spell and an expansion spell.
The output of a wizard in one day can at least ensure that hundreds of people are not tortured by hunger.
They are not afraid of lack of water. The clear water is like a spring, and the cold spring water is enough to soothe their thirsty throats.
It's no problem even if the wind is freezing. The flames can keep burning all night, bringing enough heat to the refugees.
Those who have been injured in the war do not need to be afraid.
The vision during surgery is not good, so a cleaning spell can sweep away the blood and water in the abdominal cavity.
Mentally exhausted, the encouraging spell took effect faster than adrenaline.
The mysterious wizard and the magical spell were revealed to ordinary people for the first time because of this unprecedented war.
All the faculty and staff of Hogwarts had already moved to Kunlun with the people from Dawn Research Institute.
Where else in the world can we protect these defenseless people in the face of modern war weapons?
Then there is only Kunlun.
The Kingdom of the Middle Kingdom may not care about the dire straits of the foreigners, but they will certainly not allow the Americans to attack Kunlun.
Even if we don’t mention the boundless land of the Kunlun region, just talk about the monks in Kunlun. They are all compatriots who have grown up in the Central Kingdom for generations.
When the war first started to develop, someone followed the records and found Kunlun, hoping to seek Kunlun's asylum.
But Kunlun chose to refuse at that time. They were different from foreign wizards. They were one with the Central Kingdom.
They cannot drag the Middle Kingdom into a war with no end in sight just because they feel compassion.
The only thing they can do is to bring all the people related to them into Kunlun and protect them.
But these people are nothing compared to the tens of millions of wizards in the world.
…
When the Americas went completely crazy and would rather launch a war despite the condemnation of the whole world, the Middle Kingdom finally made a move.
They are strictly guarded along the border, and everyone is on guard. They cannot just sit back and watch America become an uninhabited land.
Kunlun also received official news after the news of the establishment of a magic force by the American government was leaked.
Wizards from all over the world are fully included, but they are strictly prohibited from flowing into the people and disturbing the normal life of the people.
After receiving the official order, Kunlun immediately opened a gap, and the wizards gathered on the border of Asia and Europe finally had a safe place to go.
Kunlun is so big that even if all the wizards in the world are thrown in, it won't have much impact.
It's just that it's very inconvenient to manage.
Under such circumstances, Newt Scamander, who proudly took refuge in Kunlun because of his familiarity with Gretel, put forward his own ideas.
Perhaps these wizards can be included in the space expanded by the Traceless Stretch Spell, so that it is easier to manage when there is only one entrance and exit.
It won't be easy for someone to sneak into the private sector.
This sentence provides an idea to Kunlun's decision-making bench. After all, they pay too much attention to etiquette.
Under the crisis of this kind of war, I still want to treat guests with sincerity.
But these people are now considered guests there.
During the war, an ordinary person is not even as noble as a dog. Being able to have a temporary shelter without having to consider safety issues is a good thing that is unthinkable.
As for the Traceless Stretch Spell, Kunlun also has his own method. The cave technique is much easier to use than Dumbledore's improved Traceless Stretch Spell.
Speaking of which, Dumbledore was originally invited by Kunlun, and it was precisely because of this spell that was quite similar to the cave art that he was qualified to study in Kunlun.
Speaking of which, except for the panic-stricken wizards who were disturbed by the war.
Among the others who came to Kunlun, Grindelwald, the first generation Dark Lord, was very excited.
It's just obvious that he's not welcome here.
From ancient times to the present, only he, the Dark Lord, was driven out by Kunlun before completing his study tour.
If it weren't for Gretel's sake, no matter how long he wandered outside, he would never have thought that Kunlun would give him a chance.
However, after all, Grindelwald is an old man now, and the past has been so long ago.
He and Dumbledore have rekindled their old relationship, and Kunlun's resentment towards him is actually not that serious anymore.
Just thinking about Grindelwald's wreaking havoc in Kunlun at that time, the Kunlun elders of his generation couldn't help but vent their anger.
The expansion in the Americas, after finally conquering most of Europe, was restrained from continuing to attack as several big countries could not bear it.
Entering the stage of strategic stalemate, the two sides fought several battles on the battlefield.
In the end, there was no winner. America couldn't get in, and Europe couldn't get out.
As long as no one intends to destroy the world, it will be difficult for them to expand their own victory.
Ever since, the war had strangely and temporarily calmed down.
Only on the war front can there be different roars of war every day.
After encountering decent resistance for the first time, America finally calmed down temporarily and began to lick the wounds of the war.
War will definitely bring casualties. Although they have a crushing military strength, in so many wars and with so many fearless resistance, they still caused a lot of casualties.
Indirectly, the population in the Americas was reduced by more than 10%.
When the two governments began to negotiate on the wizarding issue, the magic people in Kunlun began to enter into a state of vigorous communication.
This is also the first time that wizards have communicated with each other since the implementation of the wizards' secrecy law.
In a life-and-death crisis, no one cares about themselves.
Whether it is the inherited family secrets or their own research experience, they have all contributed to the development of magic.
Everyone knows that the current calm is just a wartime adjustment. No one would believe that it would really die out like this.
Just like that mad dog in America who bites whoever he catches, it would be a fantasy if he could really stop.
Therefore, wizards like them must gain a little more chance of survival for themselves before the war starts again.
If nothing else, at least we must help the Central Country to maintain it longer.
The same goes for Kunlun. Who is most worried about the war restarting?
There is no doubt that he is the original monk of Kunlun.
For other foreign wizards, the Middle Kingdom is only a refuge in times of crisis.
But for the entire Kunlun, this is the mother country that they rely on for survival.
History has warned them countless times about the consequences of failure in the war.
Therefore, Kunlun, Shuguang and Dawn began a comprehensive integration from projects to personnel.
