What are the important factors that determine the outcome of a war?
There are many aspects, but there is no doubt that intelligence occupies an extremely important proportion.
In history, there are many major incidents caused by information asymmetry.
For example... Yamamoto, who attacked Pearl Harbor and launched the naval battle of Midway Island, was attacked by the US military and died because his telegram was deciphered.
For another example, the daily leaks of intelligence by the National Army can only make micro-manipulation master Chang Kaishen sigh with emotion:
"No one in the world is in common."
But in the entire Death Eater team, the spy of our camp is only Deep Sea Snape.
He is indeed a high-ranking man, and he has won the trust of Voldemort, and he can obtain a lot of important information.
But correspondingly, Snape also had a lot of information that he couldn't learn.
Last summer, Voldemort sent wizards to contact Grindelwald, wanting to fight the war between the two devils... Snape didn't know.
Also, Voldemort's initial target was the Prophecy Ball of the Department of Mysteries.
The lack of this information has caused a lot of losses.
Then, as an illegal Animagus, Rita, who can become a beetle, has no doubts about her intelligence ability.
That's right... William does have her secrets and can drive her for free.
But correspondingly, blindly squeezing will only make her slow to work, and may even deliberately dig holes in the back.
The best way to cooperate is to lure them.
What does Rita like?
She wrote so many articles that confound right and wrong, but what she really did was Garen.
And what William lacked the most was Galleon.
His super power is not only magic, but also the sentence:
!
William made millions of Galleons from fairies just by gambling. He is truly capable of money!
For a mere 200,000 Galleons, you can buy Rita's information... It couldn't be cheaper.
Besides, William didn't pay either.
When the war is over, just liquidate one or two Death Eaters, and the money will be earned back.
But those critical information, at a certain moment, can really save people!
All William needed to do was to give Rita money so that she would not run around and concentrate on intelligence.
After Rita left, William did not leave the room, but waited for a while.
Anne stopped playing Gwent with William and started playing wizard chess with Hermione.
William sat next to Hermione, shouting "Get down here, get down here".
Seeing Annie's resentful eyes, she hurriedly talked about going down here and down here, and she also helped out.
The three of them played around for a while, and at the appointed time, Hermione quietly left the Pig's Head Bar.
Soon, she will bring the second person she wants to meet today.
To be honest, William didn't expect that the other party would write him a letter asking that he must meet outside the school.
After all...we can meet every day at school!
That's right, this person is... Marietta.
Marietta looked haggard and her eyes were red. When she saw William, she suddenly grabbed his collar and sobbed.
"..."
Knowing that Marietta had always liked William, Hermione couldn't help but give him a blank look.
Wouldn't you still secretly imprison her while I was in class?
Annie even glanced at the three of them with schadenfreude. From her point of view, her brother must have done something to "step on n boats", and now he has been called to the door!
Old scumbag! !
"William...I have one thing, I can only come to you...I beg you to help me." Marietta said intermittently.
"Of course, we're friends. We've known each other before the sorting, haven't we?"
William looked upright and gave Marietta some more chocolate to loosen her clothes.
"Have you encountered a problem in life? Or is it academic?" Hermione asked.
"My mother works in the Floo Network office of the Department of Magical Transportation." Marietta sobbed.
"Umbridge...let me take your Akali cram school and report you...build an army..."
William had a black question mark on his face.
Good guy...he just got Rita, and Umbridge got him behind the scenes.
Look at this is the importance of spying!
Marietta cried with red eyes and said:
"William, you know, I've always... liked you.
I'm not going to report you, but my mother, she works at the Ministry of Magic.
Umbridge threatened to fire her and make her lose her job if she didn't agree..."
Marietta burst into tears and covered her mouth with her hands.
William gently pressed Marietta's head, and said in a deep voice:
"Look me in the eyes, Marietta! Do you believe me?"
Marietta raised her head and looked into his eyes.
Those dark green pupils attracted her like a whirlpool.
"I believe you!"
William nodded slightly when Legilimency started to operate.
Because he had to be careful, he had to judge whether Marietta was lying and deliberately cooperated with Umbridge against him.
It seems that she did not lie.
William thought for a while and realized that this was a good opportunity.
He whispered: "Minister Fudge is about to step down, trust me, he can't fire your mother.
I know what you're worried about, but I can guarantee that if your mom gets fired, you'll get a decent job at the Akali Mystery Shop.
Hermione, what's our salary? "
"Even for ordinary employees, there are one hundred and sixty Galleons, which is about three times higher than the staff of the Ministry of Magic." Hermione said quickly.
William smiled contentedly.
"Look, it's all right, isn't it, Marietta?
If you're afraid of retaliation by the Ministry of Magic, don't worry. After you graduate, you can also work with Qiu.
No one can affect your future life, not even Umbridge! "
Marietta was stunned.
Is it that simple to solve?
"Then I'm going to reject her?"
"No." The corners of William's mouth twitched slightly.
"You can't say no to Umbridge, you have to look hesitant and tell her that you won't betray your friends.
When she threatens you to fire your mother, you tell her:
You are willing to help her report me, so that she can rest assured... Okay. "
With William's assurance, Marietta gradually felt relieved.
What she is most afraid of is that her mother will be affected... As a girl who has just turned seventeen, being able to come to William has consumed all her courage.
But William solved her troubles easily, and it is not so difficult to fight against a Deputy Minister of Magic It can only be said that Umbridge underestimated William's charisma among the students.
He won so many medals and did so many things... Is the student leader in vain?
Saying goodbye to Marietta, William and the others also left the Pig's Head Bar.
"Brother, do you think Umbridge will find Fudge?" Anne asked in a low voice after thinking for a while.
If it was just to **** off Umbridge, she didn't think it was necessary for her brother to do such a game.
"Yes, Fudge will definitely come back." William said, "Don't forget, Qiu named the Defense Against the Dark Arts cram school D.A."
Hermione continued:
"Although D.A is the abbreviation of Magic Defense, it is also the abbreviation of Dumbledore's Army.
Fudge is about to step down. He is jumping at the wall now. As long as there is a chance, he can do anything. "
William glanced admiringly at Hermione, who was now becoming more and more politically astute thanks to his hard work.
Not bad... After graduation, you can move towards the youngest Minister of Magic.
Just as the three were about to go to Three Brooms, William was stopped again.
This time it was Harry and Ron.
Well, the troubles of adolescence... William felt that he was about to become a big brother.
