Chapter 1440： ?surrender

At this time, in addition to Oak Town, the German wizards' gathering place, the other British wizards who participated in the offensive also progressed very smoothly. Due to the crushing strength and proper tactics, the British army moved forward very strongly.

In fact, as the British wizards began to advance to Berlin from several directions, they did not expect the situation to happen. In the later stage, once the gathering place in deep Germany found out that they were attacked, many wizards actually began to shout. Long live Harris, and then surrendered with ordinary wizards in the city...

And the subsequent performance of the German magical world also made the British wizards feel a little unbelievable. From the ordinary people at the very beginning, to some Aurors and strikers in the back, they all surrendered...

Advancing all the way, the wizards in the wizarding area took to the streets together, and more and more people surrendered to the British floater troops, which even seriously affected the marching speed of the British wizards.

This even led Penello, as the commander, once suspected that the so-called surrender was actually a trick of the Germans, because if there are more gathering places to surrender, the British must separate more people to look at these surrenders...Finally, Penello There is no way, but I can only order the people below to use loud voices, indicating that they have no time to capture them, and ask them to put away their wands and do not show that they are not hostile...

When the British army fully occupied all points except Berlin, the more resistance they encountered later, there were even some leading parties that took the initiative to show their sincerity before they set off.

The reason for this result is that the German Ministry of Magic had a bad reputation. As a government established after the defeat of Grindelwald, the huge compensation clauses it gave to other countries made German wizards unfavorable. , I deeply feel that the government is weak and incompetent.

Although after so many years, the older generation has withdrawn from the stage of history, and the new generation of wizards no longer hates the government as the elders did, but Voldemort raged in Europe some time ago, and the German government once again showed its incompetence, unable to form an effective Not to mention his arrest and resistance, Voldemort ransacked Gringotts and suffered heavy losses. After failing to compensate and kneeling to death a protester, the new generation of wizards also began to lose confidence in the German Ministry of Magic.

On the other hand, Harrison originated from the ruling class of Germany. Although it was not a top-notch family in the Grindelwald era, the Harris family’s reputation in Germany still exists, and it still has a reputation among ordinary German wizards. Something based on public opinion—especially after the Harris family was in exile in the UK, with such amazing wizards as Alan Harris.

Now wizards from Germany control the British Ministry of Magic, possess great power, and develop Britain so strong. In the hearts of ordinary German wizards, Harris is much stronger than the weak and incompetent government.

Out of this country’s culture of worshiping the strong, Harris also has a huge foundation of prestige in Germany. Germans even think that Harris is the pride of Germany in daily discussions. They control the United Kingdom and the Germans control it. To the United Kingdom.

Therefore, when faced with a wizard invader led by Harris at this time, the determination of German wizards to resist was not strong. There are even many German wizards who preached that Harris should have replaced the existing Ministry of Magic to rule Germany before they came to Britain, so that they could just go to the floating city to live a good life-not just from TV. Some people who go to travel or do business know how suitable for wizards to survive in the exchanges with the relatives of refugees who have fled to the floating city. They came into contact with things and information related to the floating city when they went to the surrounding colonies. Knowing how powerful Floating City is, I longed for it a long time ago.

In addition to allowing the strikers and patrolling Aurors to take over the surrender area, what slowed the British people's early steps was more due to the obvious need to maintain the "Secrecy Act". Muggles are inevitable under such large-scale activities I saw a sailing boat flying in the sky.

There are not enough people in the amnestics department, but the general Ministry of Magic staff may not be proficient in using amnestics and cause Muggles to lose their memories for life... Therefore, the elites such as armed Aurors and umbrellas have to stay at the beginning. Come down to assist most Muggles.

However, the British staff were very happy to see this. They did not give any solution or even deliberately. The purpose is to distinguish between the resisting wizards who want to surrender Harris and Harris opposing wizards. They.

Because, for a country dominated by a traditional pure-blood family, it is impossible for them to be surrenderers. The surrender of ordinary people will not change their status, and may even improve their lives. But for those existing ruling classes It is a disaster, especially now that the British propaganda will hold accountable all the wizards who participated in the previous terrorist attacks-these pure-blood families don't believe that Harris will not take the opportunity to clear some of their obstacles.

Therefore, these families, plus those diehards who were still unwilling to surrender, took their families and left their settlements hurriedly, toward Berlin, the gathering place called by the German Ministry of Magic, or directly toward the homes of distant relatives of foreign countries. Escape.

In the center of Berlin at this time, the Magic Reichstag Assembly Hall.

Floating boats rose up and took a defensive posture in the air with eagle heads. All German traffic, including the floating boats, was under his jurisdiction. After learning that war was declared, Goering ordered the All the pontoons he could mobilize were gathered in Berlin-except that the British came so fast that they lost some of the ships that were initially targeted, like Oaktown.

This kind of order basically represents the determination of the German Ministry of Magic to abandon the surroundings and stabilize the base camp. In fact, in addition to the airship, the Aurors and the hitters who listened to the order instead of going to the head at this time are also because of this. Intent to be called back.

This is also the reason why the British troops have been so smooth sailing-Britain intends to distinguish between the obedient people and the enemy, and the German Ministry of Magic also tacitly took the opportunity to make a desperate fight. They even gave ordinary wizards some of the reasons they should have. The alchemy equipment used by the Aurors called on them to defend the Magic Congress Hall.

Many German wizards who were driven by the British army gathered here, waiting to be placed in temporary shelters in Berlin on both sides of the street. Once the placement was completed, the adult wizards were returned to the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. Lead, go to the vicinity of the Capitol and let them wield their magic wands, and the Super Iron Armor Curse was cast.

In addition, the wizards on the ground also arranged a lot of giant metal anti-horse-like things. These automatic tumbling spear heads can ensure that the floating ship cannot be too close to the Capitol, which is the headquarters of the Ministry of Magic, from floating in the air. The British wizards who landed on the ship must also land on the periphery to solve the outside fortifications before they can attack the German Ministry of Magic.

And on the balcony of the Ministry of Magic headquarters, which embodies the classical, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectural styles, and is a symbol of the unity of the Greater German Magic World, the Heiress of the Department of Magical Transportation Herman Goering looked at the scene in front of him with his binoculars.

A wizard dressed as an official of the German Transportation Department said cheerfully: "Director, you are so wise... If you are as negligent as our Temporary Minister Telman in it, you don’t want to talk about it and wait for Harris to fight. It’s too late to come here to find a way..."

"...Send the boat I bought from the fairy to the inner circle..." Goering was a little dissatisfied when seeing these ships with the German Ministry of Magic logo painted on the outside, he was shy with a chubby belly. "Also, Mr. Telman is now the president, even if it is temporary to pay attention to your courtesy..." Then he relaxed a little and whispered to the men beside him, "I will go in and see the situation... leave a clipper to wait for me. Will come out... so that I will command the battle later."

After finishing talking, the hot weather outside made Fat Goring sweaty. After his opponents waved easily, he strode towards the Capitol building. The triumphant expression was gone, replaced by an incomparable expression. dignified.
