Chapter 396: I Can Marry You
Suppressing the Danish Ministry of Magic didn't take much effort.
On the one hand, they had far fewer people than the British Ministry of Magic, and it just happened to be a time difference. The Danish Aurors were all squatting in the wizard prison, and no one was guarding the house. The result was that only some civilian staff without much combat power were left in the Ministry of Magic, and they were all taken in one pot by Rasim and his people.
Then he waited leisurely for the Danish Aurors to come to the door, and then fought another counter-ambush, annihilating the Linstrom and others who came to rescue, and capturing the Minister of Magic Sorensen.
Sorensen was still waiting for the French reinforcements, but the latter didn't even send a single Auror and retreated at the speed of light, leaving only the Danes in the wind.
"Used as a gun, right?" Rasim brought Sorensen to Murphy, who looked at the Minister of Magic as if looking at a village idiot.
"I'm very curious, what exactly did they promise you that you dared to jump at me?"
Sorensen was extremely aggrieved and didn't say a word. Murphy didn't be polite to him either and used Legilimency to read his mind directly.
"... The French didn't even give you a single Galleon, and you obediently jumped out to be beaten. You are even more stupid than Ukraine."
Oh, no, the current Ukraine is very obedient, living a good life in the Soviet family, not stupid at all.
In contrast, this Sorensen didn't weigh his own weight.
Even the big wizard countries like France hadn't moved yet and could only sigh at Murphy, you little Denmark, with less than two thousand wizards in total, and not even sixty people including all Aurors, retired ones, and interns. Who gave you the courage to jump at me here?
For such a fool, Murphy felt there was no need to keep him. After a series of Obliviation, Cruciatus Curse, and Imperius Curse by Rasim, he was turned into a puppet with a loyalty-type Soul Seed.
Anyway, he didn't have much brains to begin with. Both sides were puppets. Instead of being a puppet for the enemy, it's better to exert some residual heat on his side.
Three days later, the Danish Ministry of Magic announced that it would join the Wizards' Union, comply with the Union Constitution, and all Danish wizards would automatically become Union citizens and accept the jurisdiction of the Union government.
It caused a huge uproar among wizards in various countries for a time.
Murphy and the British Ministry of Magic's reputation became even worse, but fortunately, the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey was immediate. Murphy's move also greatly demonstrated the strength of the Wizards' Union and the determination to protect Union members, so many speculators who were originally wavering in various countries came to join the Union one after another.
Murphy didn't be ambiguous either. He intended to use his influence in the Muggle world to give all wizards willing to follow him a chance to drink soup with him.
"Mr. Foxsto, this is your Union certificate, please keep it well." Underground in London, UK, on the fifth floor of the Ministry of Magic, at a window, a receptionist handed a certificate to a Swiss male wizard. "From now on, you are a citizen of the Wizards' Union. At any time, you can call for the Union's help, and we will try our best to protect your personal safety and legal property from any illegal infringement."
This place was originally the Department of International Magical Cooperation, but after the establishment of the Wizards' Union, it was transformed into the Wizards' Union Office in the UK.
Basically, all matters involving the Wizards' Union can be handled here, but currently, it is still mainly responsible for registering wizards who want to join the Union.
As for why these wizards didn't go to the headquarters of the Wizards' Union for registration, it was because the "headquarters of the Union" didn't exist yet.
To date, the Wizards' Union has not established a real government, only a few leaders in name, and the whole team hasn't been set up yet. Basically, it is still dominated by the British Ministry of Magic.
Murphy also had no choice. There were too few suitable people, and the wizards he had on hand were not enough.
Crouch repeatedly expressed that he could resign from the position of Minister of Magic of the UK and serve as a small chairman in the Wizards' Union, but was politely declined by Murphy.
With Dumbledore as the face, what else do I need Crouch for?
Lucius also diligently recommended himself, thinking that he had always had some insights in the economic field and could serve as the Union's Minister of Finance, but was also politely declined by Murphy.
You haven't even figured out how to sell potions yet. If I hand over the Union economy to you, won't you ruin it in less than three years?
And what I lack is bureaucrats? What I lack is clerks.
Finally, Murphy found a group of people from the Soviet Muggle government.
Because of the Ogas plan, the Soviet planned economy department began to lay off a large number of people. These people are not very good at other things, but their accounting and actuarial skills are quite good, at least much stronger than wizards. Murphy prepared to let them be laid off and re-employed, and serve as administrative officers in the Wizards' Union again.
But now there are too few members of the Wizards' Union and they are far apart, so there is no need to establish a real power ruling institution for the time being. Murphy just sent these laid-off workers to training to let them familiarize themselves with various affairs related to magic. These people haven't taken up their posts yet.
That Swiss wizard took the certificate and was about to leave when a clerk wizard next to him leaned over. "Is this Mr. Foxsto Campbell?"
Foxsto looked at the other party suspiciously. "It's me, what can I do for you?"
"I heard that the Campbell family has been passed down for a thousand years, focusing on the magic cloak business, and enjoys a high reputation in the entire wizarding world," the clerk said. "I don't know, are you interested in expanding this business to a larger field?"
"What do you mean? Our family's cloaks are popular in the wizarding world, and there should be no more fields to expand," Foxsto said suspiciously.
"The wizarding world is only a part of this world, Mr. Foxsto. I mean, don't you want to promote magic cloaks to the Muggle society? Think about it, a magic cloak that can be windproof, rainproof, fireproof, can change colors at will, and can provide various help to travelers at critical moments, how popular will it be in the Muggle world."
Foxsto showed an "as expected" expression. The reason he came here to register was, of course, that he had similar ideas.
Seeing that he was interested, the other party immediately handed him a small booklet. "If you have such a business plan, we can definitely help you. This is a new policy issued by the Wizards' Union, called the 'Union Wizard Entrepreneurship Support Plan.' You can learn about it."
Foxsto took the booklet, and sure enough, he saw a line of big characters printed on it: "Union Wizard Entrepreneurship Support Plan." Between the words "Wizard" and "Entrepreneurship," a glittering five-pointed star was drawn.
He opened the booklet, and suddenly, a few deafening words reached his ears.
"Are you still worried about wanting to start a business but not finding a good direction?!"
"Are you still worried about whether your business plan complies with the law?!"
"Are you still worried about whether you can meet market expectations?!"
"Are you still worried about how to raise startup capital?!"
"Are you still worried about not finding staff?!"
