Based on his own understanding of the changing international situation, Ryan felt that presenting ordinary people with the idea of "silently destroying Eiffel Square overnight" would be a powerful shock to them as a whole.
This might accelerate the political evolution; at least in France, there will be significant changes, and a large number of high-ranking officials may step down. Therefore, in order to boost public confidence and trust in the government, the next French government can only do two things: one is to stabilize people's livelihoods and improve their sense of self-worth domestically; the other is to launch reforms internationally to enhance public confidence. War is out of the question. If France hopes to win public support by waging war, then they should summon the spirit of Napoleon.
It is possible to consolidate people's livelihood domestically, but the cost will be greater. First, expenditures will increase, and second, hedonism and extravagance will prevail, and the government bureaucracy will become corrupt. Because in this era, no government can remain spotless while spending money recklessly. Even the Northern Red Bear cannot do this.
Therefore, the next French government can only do one thing: comprehensively and deeply deepen diplomatic relations with its brotherly nations. It should engage in in-depth cooperation across multiple fields, including economics, politics, and scientific research, to produce tangible results and enhance national confidence.
After considering the matter in his mind, he realized that this matter could very well lead to the European Community, which was only transformed in 93, evolving into the Union ahead of schedule, and would also promote deeper cooperation among the member states than in history.
Under such a threat, the pressure on the wizarding world will be much greater than under normal circumstances when the nations unite as one.
"I think it might not be a good time to spread the concept of magic," he said, organizing his thoughts to remind Dumbledore and the other two.
He couldn't go into too much detail.
The details are too numerous to mention. This chosen ambassador for communication between wizards and ordinary people—Nava Morgan—is no ordinary person and could very well be pushed out of the magical world's illusions.
Don't be fooled by Nava's current unparalleled worship of the magical world; it's because she's now in contact with the highest-level concepts and the most powerful wizards in the magical world—truly humanoid walking natural disasters.
This is why Ryan invited Morgan and Julia to live in Hogsmeade.
Because, in any case, the level of wizards at Hogsmeade is among the highest in the entire British Isles. This would deepen Nava's impression of the power and mystery of wizards, and also allow her to have more contact with Hogwarts students. The students' pure minds under the happy education would let her experience what it means to be simple and honest in the magical world.
On one side are mysterious, powerful, and truly kind and beautiful wizards.
On one side are ordinary people skilled at slaughtering humans, scheming and plotting against each other.
Nava's emotions will naturally have certain inclinations.
Especially given the Morgan family's declining fortunes, they are bound to seek change and new allies.
As a mouthpiece and propaganda platform for Ryan's hopes, the Morgan family, even if they don't live up to their status as the world's largest creditors in the early 20th century, are now powerful enough to indoctrinate and brainwash about half of the American population.
However, businessmen are profit-driven, and can only be motivated by profit and intimidated by force. To truly succeed, one must possess exceptional skills.
Dumbledore's eyes gleamed with silver light, as if he were reading the thoughts that overflowed from Ryan's mind as he thought.
The next moment, a voice rang in Ryan's mind.
"That's a good judgment. Gale oversimplified things. He thought that since they had a common enemy, they should first reveal their existence."
Gale's voice echoed in Lane's mind: "I've been imprisoned for decades, so it's normal that I'm not familiar with the current international situation!"
Nicolas Flamel also showed up to join the fun, and Alain's mind became the venue for their tea party: "Integrate the wizards first, and then slowly expand outwards."
"How come you all know this trick!"
Ryan sighed helplessly. It turns out that in the magical world, your brain isn't necessarily just your brain; it could also be someone else's tea party venue.
The group decided that Larvin and the others, who were not planning to go to work at the Ministry of Magic for the next couple of days, would take their people back first and settle the two female students in Hogsmeade Village.
They stayed behind to handle the situation themselves.
"Is this the wizarding community?"
Nava had just recovered from the dizziness and the feeling of being pulled by the hook on her navel when she saw wizards in wide robes and pointed wizard hats surging like a tide on the bustling street.
A tall witch in a long robe embroidered with golden runes passed by her; these mud-like patterns seemed to flow slowly as if they were alive. A live white weasel perched on her shoulder, its bright black eyes curiously observing passersby, occasionally twitching its pink nose.
"Little one, would you like some candy?"
Upon hearing this, Bai excitedly barked, its pink little paws stomping up and down on its mistress's shoulders.
"Then let's go check out Honey Duke." The tall witch led the weasel toward a shop with a Honey Duke sign hanging on the side.
Nava followed the witch's departing figure and saw in the window of Honeydukes Candy Shop, a giant chocolate frog that automatically splits and reassembles was dancing, with violet frosting bubbles bubbling out of the bacon, floating into the air and exploding, sprinkling a fine rain of sweetness.
As the witch pushed open the shop door, the doorbell rang not only, but also seemed to emit a long, satisfied sigh.
Night had fallen, and the store was dimly lit, with sugar dust floating in the air like miniature stars under a spell.
"How amazing!"
"This is Honeydukes, the most famous sweets house in the wizarding world," Larvin said, acting as the tour guide.
"If you want to stay in a guest room, Pig's Head Bar is an option, but the ambiance isn't great." He led Nava and Julia to the entrance of a run-down pub.
Just standing at the doorway, the sour smell of barley wine, the musty smell of rotting wood, and some other indescribable odors stubbornly entered everyone's nostrils and clung to their tongues.
Larvin offered another suggestion: "Considering that you two might not be comfortable here—," Ryan has property here, and I just contacted him via communicator; he's agreed to let you stay.
"But his property is a bit out of the way—Nava, standing next to the Screaming Shack, sensed Larvin's implication: there must be something wrong with the Screaming Shack geographically and culturally. 'Is there something wrong with the Screaming Shack?'"
"No problem. But this is one of the most rumored haunted places. We've all checked out the Scream Shelter, and there really are no ghosts or hauntings. It's just that the rumors are bad. Really!"
Larvin looked earnest.
"what?"
Nava was dumbfounded. A question loomed before her: if ghosts in the ordinary world might be fake, then what about ghosts in the wizarding world? Real ghosts?
