Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

Chapter 405 That Country

"The fish man?" Patrick looked at the photo handed over by Murphy, glanced at the ugly corpse on it, and frowned, "This is the murderer?"

Recently, vicious murders have occurred in several coastal cities in the UK. Muggles were disemboweled and died in horrific conditions, which caused great panic in the society. Therefore, as the president, Patrick also knew about this.

He thought it was some vicious gangster, but he didn't expect it to be a magical animal.

"The level of magic in these murlocs is very low, and we cannot monitor them all the time. The Aurors also discovered that a wizard was killed, and then realized that the murlocs were attacking humans. After checking, we found that Muggles were also attacked. case."

"No wonder the murder scene has a fishy smell and a lot of water stains. They should have entered the city from the sewer." Patrick said, "But doesn't this thing have legs?"

"It's not particularly difficult to create a pair of legs for a fishman. That's how the story of the Little Mermaid came about." Murphy said, "However, their mutations may not be the wizard's magic, but come from another power. "

"You mean..." Patrick looked at Murphy, saw the other party nodded, and asked doubtfully, "But why, what good is this to them?"

"They are showing their existence." Murphy said, "They want to let more people know about the existence of magic, so as to speed up the recovery of magic."

Murphy said and handed a few more photos to Patrick.

In the first photo, on a beach, a tree of light dozens of meters high hangs down its stars. People kneel around the tree and pray.

In the second photo, clouds form huge eyes in the sky, overlooking the earth.

In the third photo, the fish on the seabed form a huge cross hundreds of meters long and wide.

"Their power is still very weak, so they can only use these illusion-like things to create some 'miracles' to attract the attention of Muggles. But as the recovery of magic speeds up, they can use more and more methods. Recently, I’ve heard that believers from all major sects claim to see God in their dreams dozens of times more frequently than in the past.”

"What...can I do?" Patrick asked.

Murphy sighed, "When it comes to faith, you can't do much."

Atheists are a minority in this world, not even one-fifth of the total population. Most of the remaining people believe in some god or gods more or less.

Even though the Soviet Union carried out rounds of religious suppression under Murphy's strong promotion, it could still only ensure the purity of official institutions such as the government, and believers still accounted for the majority among the people.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. The beautiful country is engaged in a trade war again. How are you going to deal with it?"

After the Soviet missile incident, the beautiful country has been desperately promoting the threat of the Soviet Union, and even the United Kingdom, which was already an ally of the Soviet Union, was implicated in the sanctions list. This time, the beautiful country gathered a group of subordinates, including a number of European countries, Several times of punitive tariffs have been levied on the UK and Canada, resulting in the UK not being able to sell even a bottle of whiskey, let alone various electronic products under the umbrella.

Patrick is also under great pressure. Originally, his various actions in the country have offended almost everyone he can offend, and he almost faces the risk of being assassinated at any time. However, if the beautiful country is in such trouble, Britain's foreign trade will only With only one channel left between the country and the Soviet Union, even ordinary people will be greatly affected.

"Tighten our finances and develop domestic demand," Patrick sighed. "Fortunately, the Ogas plan has gradually entered the track, and key industries have gradually been taken back. We still have good control over the domestic market."

Murphy nodded, "I have a suggestion."

As he spoke, he took a map and clicked on a certain location in the east. "The Soviet Union is already making contact. You can also try it here. In any case, we are basically in the same camp now." Yes. This market is big enough to solve the problems of Britain and the Soviet Union. Moreover, it is still in its infancy and has full potential that can be tapped."

"There are already some plans for the Arctic Ocean transportation channel. I am even going to provide them with magic technology. If we can connect the magic network here with the other party, we can build a new global trade with the floo gate." net."

Patrick was stunned, and then asked: "But, their relationship with the Beautiful Country was not bad before... Will they take the Beautiful Country into consideration and not dare to cooperate with us?"

"Huh," Murphy smiled, "You don't understand that nation. They are not scared. And they are very kind. There was still some old love between us and the beautiful country. If we choose both sides, I think they would be more willing to be on our side. Of course, according to their logic, they will probably take advantage of both sides."

"Are you familiar with them?" Patrick asked.

"I think I understand a little bit." Murphy smiled, "Besides, there is another crucial reason for cooperating with them."

"The influence of gods on the secular world is largely reflected in belief. And overall they are a more completely godless country than the Soviet Union."

Patrick nodded, "I understand, I'll give it a try."

After saying this, Patrick thought of another thing, "Recently, we have captured a lot of spies from the Beautiful Country, as well as from other countries. They all came for the magic technology of the Umbrella. They should have some guesses about the recovery of magic power. ”

Murphy nodded, "No one is stupid. This matter cannot be hidden. Our confidentiality policy can only delay the time for the truth to be fully disclosed. But their current position should be similar to ours. For more In order to seize some opportunities, they should also keep this matter within a small scope and not make it fully public."

"I think the recovery of magic power will eventually become a tacit secret among all the major countries."

"Is this process really unstoppable?" Patrick asked.

"Unless I can find the method that once blocked the gods, I may be able to use it as a reference to drive them away again." Murphy said, "However, there are currently no clues. And as more and more people know about the existence of magic, The further back you go, the less likely it is to stop the recovery."

"What we can do now is be prepared to deal with it."

"In terms of Muggle society, I don't need to remind you too much. The Ogas plan and the nationalization of the economy will help social stability. In this extraordinary period, it will be beneficial to the future. We must continue to implement it unswervingly. .”

"We must also start to pay close attention to ideology. I heard that the beautiful people are already discrediting the research on void particles. Even the enemies know the importance of public opinion war. How can we not respond well."

"However, our propaganda must still focus on materialism and rationality. Human thought may be our ultimate battlefield. Although it is difficult to change people's beliefs, at least let them know that there is another voice."

"As for other things, such as some special phenomena, just leave them to the Countermeasures Bureau."

"Recently, the Transformation Research Group has come up with a lot of new technologies, and the Countermeasures Bureau's strength is no longer what it used to be."
