The German Ministry of Magic Building was a building that embodied the various architectural styles of the ancient Saxon Magic Age and the Muggle's Gothic and Baroque architecture. It was a symbol of the unity of the German wizard world. When this magic government building was completed, many wizards obviously felt that this combination was not a success. Instead, it was a very unreasonable parallel combination of multiple styles. The conservatives objected to the aesthetic style of the Muggle, while the reformists did not like the bloated ancient style of the main building. Ludwig Hoffman, a city architecture consultant and architect who had a great influence in the German magic world, was particularly harsh in his criticism. He called this building a "high-level corpse truck."
The German Ministry of Magic Minister, Rudolf Hess, was giving his speech. His usually honest and old-fashioned face was even more rigid than a square brick today. The Minister of the Ministry of Magic's eyes were red and swollen. His beard was unshaven, and his face was pale and haggard. His originally neat hair and beard needed to be washed and trimmed.
"Good evening, wizards. This is my 37th public speech in front of the Ministry of Magic. It was here that the key decisions in the history of our magic world were made. Every time I stand here, it's to discuss important issues related to the interests of the German magic world with all of you. Any decision made during my term of office is to better serve our German magic world. In the recent unpredictable situation, I have always taken 'persistence' as my duty. I hope to try my best to complete the term of office that the German wizards have given me …"
The tone of Hess's voice fully explained that the sudden chaotic and complicated situation in the German magic world had made the minister exhausted and unable to cope with it. Compared to the past, the position of the podium and the audience was much further away from each other. They were separated by a yellow dividing line. The fully armed Aura stood on both sides to maintain order. As for the hitmen who were at the forefront of the previous incident, they did not appear in the venue. It was obvious that they wanted to avoid provoking the ordinary people who had been cursed so that their protest would not be louder than the speech.
"However, through my communication with the other officials in the Ministry of Magic, I understand that because of my mistake in decision-making this time, I will no longer be able to continue to receive the support of the other department directors. Without this support, I will not be able to fulfill my duties for the German magic world and make measures that are beneficial to the German magic world and improve the current situation … I have never been a person who gives up halfway. To end my term in advance in this period is completely contrary to my principles. However, as the minister, I must always put the interests of the German magic world first …
Germany now needs a wholehearted minister of the Ministry of Magic and an equally wholehearted Ministry of Magic, especially at such a critical time when both the domestic and foreign countries are facing challenges … Therefore, I hereby announce that I am willing to resign with immediate effect. The directors of the Ministry of Magic will form a temporary decision-making cabinet until my successor is elected … "
The news of Hess's intention to resign suddenly reduced the noise of the protesting wizards. It was unexpected that the German Ministry of Magic actually supported the resignation of the minister. Although many of the signs that they held up expressed their request for the resignation of the minister of the Ministry of Magic, at this moment, the magic that reduced their voices seemed unnecessary.
"I have to admit that sometimes, like most ordinary people, I may make wrong decisions and judgments. Today's part is indeed wrong. Even if I believe that it was the decision that was most beneficial to the magic world at that time. To the friends and colleagues who have always been with me during this difficult period, as well as those who believe in me because they believe that I am right, I will always be grateful for your support. As for those who have decided to no longer support me, I will not treat them harshly. I believe that our original intention is for the independence and prosperity of our magic world, no matter how different our judgments are. As for the wizards who have suffered because of my wrong decisions … I can only say that I am sorry to all of you when I am in this position, but I will do my best to form a foundation to provide compensation to all of you …
In any case, we, the German wizards, must unite in this difficult time for a common goal. We must use the goal of peace to resist and replace those greedy and cunning intentions that are trying to wreak havoc and even subvert our country. This is what we, the German wizards, must do in order to live a dignified life … "
Although they were outside, other than the sound of the wind and Hess's voice, the scene was shockingly quiet. On the contrary, inside the Ministry of Magic, the department directors that formed the temporary cabinet were in a dispute.
"I think after Hess, it should be me who is in charge of propaganda to say something that can excite the people." Goebbels tidied up his hair and wanted to go out and speak on behalf of the Ministry of Magic. "Look at those mudbloods, they have calmed down a lot."
"I came back late!" As the director of the German Aura, Heinrich Telemann was also furious. "You idiots pushed Hess out and placed all your hopes on him, wanting him to take all the responsibility … Do you really think this is something that can be solved by him resigning? Without a concrete solution, the adepts who can't get by will not need your speech at a time like this. I've already told you that the attacker was controlled by the Soulseize Curse. Who would believe that there wasn't a faction behind the scenes behind the scenes that caused the situation to escalate to this extent? My people have found out that these protest groups are being instigated by someone before the outbreak … "
"Paul, you are dreaming. You want to be a director just because you have some achievements? I will be the first to disagree. " Gorlin slammed the table and questioned. "As for Heinrich, you are not qualified to run for the position anymore. That's why you said that, right? Isn't this matter caused by the incompetence of the Aura? Yes, we all know that behind these protests … There is no need to guess that this is Harris' revenge. But isn't it because you and Hess, the two hawks, wanted to provoke them with those stupid Bulgarians? Hess volunteered. No one forced him. He just lost the bet … We are already generous enough that we didn't push you out! I will bring in a batch of floating ships to let the people see hope. They will support me to be the director of the Ministry of Magic. "
"Weren't you afraid that Harris would come back and take your position back? Now you are blaming me and Hess? "Heinrich's face was red." What about Joachim? "
"Don't look at me like that. That champagne seller was frightened by Harris." Gorlin relied on his fat body and looked at him without backing down. "He doesn't dare to go against Harris anymore. Naturally, he should give up his position … So that we can stop Harris from infiltrating and let the German Magic World maintain its dignity and dignity …"
Heinrich sighed and softened his voice. "We lack the top power to deal with The Dark Lord and that Allen Harris … You all know what happened to Dumbledore and Grindelwald that night. Lord Gorlin, times have changed. Even if the light wizards and the former The Dark Lord worked together, they are no match for the mysterious man. And the mysterious man is no match for Allen Harris …" Heinrich paused worriedly. "There is no problem if I don't become the director of the Ministry of Magic. This matter is indeed my department's responsibility. But let's not talk about the top power first. In order for our Aura to be reformed to be able to fight against the British, we need a lot of money and manpower. Did you hear what the fairies said? They are even pushing the responsibility of being robbed to us … Even if the people were not incited, they won't be satisfied with Hess' resignation … Moreover, they have Harris behind them … As long as anyone has a way, I will express my support. I will support him to become the next director of the Ministry of Magic. Hess is right, we can't fight among ourselves anymore … "
As if confirming Heinrich's worries, those areas that had been lightly muted to avoid affecting the speech, very tacitly, three clear voices of doubt were clearly heard.
"Leaving after messing things up? What a coward. This is a shirking of his responsibilities. Is he quitting after he's gotten enough?"
"Who is going to solve the problem of compensation for us victims? The attackers run away faster than anyone else when fighting against outsiders but they are harsher than anyone else when fighting against our own innocent people … "
"Think about it, how many of the pure-blooded followers of Grindelwald and the mysterious man's subordinates used the common excuse of being cast on by the Soul Reaping Curse to escape punishment?"
This caused another uproar among the protestors. The temporary shock and pleasure brought by the resignation of the director of the Ministry of Magic as well as the subsequent sense of helplessness soon dissipated into nothingness. The problem of survival in reality, the problem of insecurity brought about by the violent law enforcement, and the anger of their own country's Ministry of Magic officials who wanted to escape responsibility by resigning after messing things up, the loss of trust in the Ministry of Magic made the protestors recall the purpose and anger of their protest. They held up placards such as' clarify responsibilities', 'return my property', and 'step down from the Ministry of Magic' and chanted slogans such as' don't leave just like that 'and' investigate thoroughly '. It seemed like the trend of the protest was no different from Hess' resignation.
…
Then, as if it was calculated on time, strips of huge black fabric began to appear in the sky above the German Ministry of Magic building and even above the gathering places of the German wizards. They rose from the ground and rolled towards the gathering place of the wizards on the ground.
