Allen stood up and stepped onto the central rostrum. The audience applauded. After experiencing the chaos of the past two years, most of the wizards recognized that the International Union of Wizards and Wizards should be led by a powerful wizard. They understood that wizards like Dumbledore and Allen, even if they did not do anything during their time in office, could maintain international peace in the magic world and keep everyone in control of the rules.
A president like Babajid Aginbad was not a big deal in peacetime, but as long as there was some movement in the magic world, it was inevitable that the whole international community would be in turmoil.
"Congratulations, Principal Harris!"
Some representatives stood up to congratulate him in order to make their presence felt. This successfully attracted Allen's attention and a nod of thanks. Some clever ones followed suit and directly changed the way they addressed him.
"I wish the president all the best in his future work."
These compliments and congratulations continued to ring in the venue, and when it was not enough to stand up, some representatives said that they wanted to give Allen an award to build relationships. They undoubtedly wanted to use this method to ensure that their country had a floating city one step ahead of other countries.
"These flatterers, I guess they heard that Allen Harris will get a lot of awards and know that he likes glory … So now they are shamelessly flattering Harris with the awards of their own countries. Bah! "The American colleague next to the Ian saw the situation and said with some jealousy.
The Ian crossed his arms and glanced coldly at the representatives of those countries. Now the wizards seemed to think that just the moral awards were not enough. Some even directly announced that they would reach a new trade contract with Harris and take the initiative to provide raw materials to Britain.
Recalling the righteous expressions of the same group of people not long ago when they denounced Britain with the Americans, the young American Aura felt that their fiery expressions and undisguised flattery were disgusting and disgusting.
Then, a voice that was so sharp that it was piercing to the ears of the American wizards abruptly rang out in the hall.
"Principal Harris, our previous policies and attitudes towards Britain were completely misled by Germany and Bulgaria, and the United States added fuel to the fire … I suggest that several of our countries should counter-impose economic sanctions on the United States …"
Compared to the Bulgarian who wanted to scold him, the German and American representatives instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
"You want to counter-impose sanctions on us? How hateful! As a wizard of the United States, we must fight this shameless behavior to the end. " The Ian's colleague was angry. "Our previous sanctions were reasonable. It was the British who violated the rules!"
On the stage, the new president who had not completed the official document quickly stopped this topic. However, he only said that today was not the right day to talk about it and did not reject the possibility. Then he began to negotiate with the representatives of the countries who wished him well..
"This is too much!" Ian clenched the magic wand in his hand and responded for the first time. He was a little short of breath and stared angrily at the representative of the country. Originally, he was very confused by the various words of his friends who opposed Allen. But now, after the British used his strength to get the president's position, they wanted to further retaliate …
When the election was over, except for Alan, who stayed behind as the headmaster of Hogwarts. It was said that there was some exchange of knowledge, the representatives of almost all countries tacitly refused the hospitality of the host, Ouagadou, and returned to their own countries, regardless of whether they raised their hands in the election today or not.
Three days later, in Leonard's small villa in the United States, which was a little crooked like a beret, Ian held the magic wand used as a TV remote control in his hand and leaned on the sofa. However, his attention was on his sister, Jessica, who was packing her luggage.
Compared to a few years ago when Allen came to the United States, although her height did not change much, her body was undoubtedly fuller. She looked at the clock in the room with Ada's eyes and quickened her pace of packing. Her long blonde hair was tied into a high ponytail and swayed behind her back with her movements. Two emerald green butterfly earrings vibrated in her ears, making Jessica look more playful with her fair cheeks.
Newspapers of different media were scattered on the table in the room. The most conspicuous pictures were of the representatives of the countries, waving their arms and looking excited, which made them look a little ferocious. The contents of these newspapers were written in large headlines criticizing the British for using benefits to induce countries to vote and ridiculing the countries who had betrayed their previous positions.
There were also some spread out newspapers where the non-fairies wore scarlet uniforms and pulled up huge banners to protest in front of the Ministry of Magic in their countries. Their hairy fingers poked the camera lens to protest against the sudden attack and threatened to take further action. The United States was deeply worried about the Union's decision that would cause unrest.
Jessica, who was almost done packing, had already begun to put some local snacks in her suitcase. Her study abroad trip in the floating city was about to begin. Although she was not confident in the British food, she was looking forward to her new study abroad life.
At this time, the TV that Ian was watching was broadcasting a program that was completely different from the local newspapers in the United States.
The gorgeous female host of the British Harris TV station, Hibiscus Chinensis Dracul, was wearing a blue suit and passionately broadcasting some of the orders issued by Allen after he became the president of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards. The International Union of Wizards and Wizards would support the trade between the Magic Government and Muggle in the future … The magic circles of various countries would establish friendly trade relations, form a trade network, and further strengthen cooperation …
The Ian waved his wand impatiently. A female anchor who spoke French appeared on the TV, but her words and emotional attitude were no different from the British.
In fact, even the local newspapers and magazines in the United States did not resist the Union's decision to support the secret trade cooperation between the local Magic Government and the Muggle Government. The Ian understood that this was because of the gold coins and raw materials that the United Kingdom had previously earned. It was enough to make all the wizards forget the risks that this kind of behavior brought to the Secret Act itself. If it were not for the fact that the United States was controlled by the fairies and had a higher degree of economic and trade cooperation than other magic countries, the fairies' protests would not appear in the newspapers in front of the American wizards.
This made the young Aura take a deep breath in annoyance. He waved his wand a few times and changed channels in a row. However, the anchors in these countries were enthusiastically broadcasting the news of the newly appointed president Harris. This made him clearly realize that, except for a few countries such as Germany, which had a clear stand against Harris, there were no neutral countries in the wizarding world when it came to these matters.
With a bang, the Ian threw his wand aside, but the broadcast still came from the TV: Due to the increasing number of threats around the world, the British Umbrella Corporation has reached an agreement with some countries. The Umbrella Corporation will help to train and fund the training and equipping of the selected elite Aura from each country to form a cross-border special peacekeeping force.
This unformed elite force will be stationed on the floating city, which has become the newest headquarters of the International Union of Wizards and Wizards. According to the description, its role will be to prevent illegal activities that infringe on the safety of the wizarding world, prevent local conflicts from escalating, or prevent conflicts from arising again. It will also be obliged to help the wizard civilians who have been harmed in the war. After creating the conditions for the final political settlement of the conflict, it will leave the area of conflict.
If it were not for the fact that the president of the Union did not have the authority to independently give orders to this force, the Ian would have thought that the United Kingdom was using the elites of other countries to form their own army. However, although it was not explicitly stated who the target was, and it was said that it was to help the countries that did not have sufficient military strength to fight against the Dark Wizards, anyone could see that this force was established to deal with the protesting fairies, at least for now.
Judging from the information revealed in the agreement, it meant that the sprites were allowed to protest. They could express their demands through normal protests, but once they committed any illegal acts, they would be dealt a fatal blow by the peacekeeping forces in the name of peacekeeping.
Jessica, who had obviously heard the TV program, looked at her annoyed brother and wanted to say something. In the end, she picked up her wand and turned back to the British TV station. Ian glanced at her and pursed his lips. He knew what his sister meant, just as he knew what her brother meant.
