"...Idiots! Short-sighted and arrogant Muggles, were they all under the Imperius Curse?!"

Deep beneath Gringotts Wizarding Bank, the bustling goblin investment department was silent. Elder Leos, who had temporarily taken over the work of the entire department, smashed a small potted plant on the table with his cane, and his sharp roar resounded throughout the underground office area.

"Ukraine, the Soviets, what exactly do they want to do..."

The elderly goblin elder gasped for breath, his withered fist slamming heavily on the newspaper printed with Russian text on the table.

《Embrace Freedom, Praise Democracy, Ukraine Declares Independence from the Soviet Union from Today》

In the huge office, Jason, the deputy director of the investment department who was originally under Douglas, rubbed his hands, looked at the other goblins around him who were pretending to be deaf and mute, hesitated, and said softly.

"Elder Leos, you said before that the Soviet Union is a country that is completely different from the United States and the United Kingdom. They have extremely strong cohesion, and the impact of foreign capital on them is minimal—it can be regarded as one of the best financial investments."

"Heh, cohesion." Leos twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely ugly smile, "Any ship, if the captain and first mate insist on leading the ship to the rocks, no matter how united the crew is, it will only accelerate its demise... The fools in Ukraine are like that."

As the referendum in Ukraine ended, the ruble exchange rate, which Gringotts had finally stabilized, once again fluctuated drastically, falling by more than 5% in one fell swoop, which was a rather painful loss for the goblins who were trying to maintain their capital chain—more importantly, this may only be the beginning.

It is foreseeable that in the week that follows, the ruble's exchange rate will become even more difficult.

Moreover, the premise is still based on the fact that no other bad news will appear afterward.

But at this point in time, the prophecy made by former director Douglas became increasingly clear, like a Sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all the goblins, ready to fall at any time.

Deputy Director Jason swallowed, took a deep breath, and continued.

"Humans have always been so stupid and short-sighted. It's not surprising that such a thing happened... However, according to the calculation models of the analysts before, even if that huge alliance really disintegrates, it will not have a major impact on Gringotts. Didn't you think so before?"

"Huh? Of course I know, but this cannot erase the losses we have suffered!"

Leos glanced at the middle-aged goblin standing by the table, a gloomy look flashed across his old face, "Unless those Muggles are stupid enough to let other countries help them formulate economic strategies, otherwise their government will definitely intervene in the market and forcibly lock in the value of the ruble before the exchange rate collapses."

"Damn human wizards! Despicable Hogwarts! If it weren't for them, our losses wouldn't have been so great! As for Douglas, heh, that guy pays too much attention to local gains and losses. What we want is to drag down those American traitors who have taken refuge in the wizards... At all costs... We have plenty of time..."

The old goblin coughed a few times, a strange smile appeared on his face, muttering to himself as if savoring the deliciousness after victory, his voice gradually becoming low and hoarse.

"When we drag them down, we can even turn around... Heh..."

Unless a war breaks out, the currency of any powerful sovereign country cannot become waste paper overnight. This is the conclusion drawn from a long history—even if the Soviet Union no longer exists, those countries' military and industry are still intact. Under such strong guarantees, even if a pig were to be the Muggle leader, a collapse would not be possible.

"Then, Douglas and his advisory group..."

"Of course, they will continue to be locked up, and the news will still be passed on to them every day—I want these arrogant and stupid young people to know the wisdom of the elders and the planning to control the overall situation, and let them see with their own eyes how the Council of Elders manages the millennium-old Gringotts."

Leos's cheeks twitched, revealing a cold smile, and he sat back down behind his desk.

"Continue to buy rubles, and then continue to release positive news, so that all international hot money is holding money, starving to death outside the borders of the Soviet Union. We have an unparalleled first-mover advantage—history has proven countless times that Gringotts will have the last laugh. No matter whether the opponent is the American traitors, or Hogwarts... Heh..."

Soon, the goblin investment department continued to be busy.

On the recording board in the underground office, a blood-red dividing line was drawn below the ruble-to-dollar exchange rate.

【13.5:1】, this is the conversion line that the thousands of goblin analysts at Gringotts have given as absolutely impossible to break through. According to a large number of model calculations, there is only one way to achieve this terrible ratio—war.

Moreover, it must be an overwhelming global victory that instantly defeats and captures all the Soviet leaders.

……

"...War may not break out, but disaster will definitely arrive as scheduled."

In the night Hogwarts castle, the voice echoed in the headmaster's office, as if stating the facts that had already occurred.

"Albus, you may understand people's hearts. However, when it comes to politics, you are still... completely ignorant."

Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore, who was a little absent-minded, thought for a moment, and explained softly.

"The Soviet Union will inevitably disintegrate, their economy will inevitably collapse, and society will inevitably fall into a long period of chaos... Judging from the current situation, this is almost inevitable, and it is only a matter of time before that child's prophecy becomes reality."

"Why, I don't understand..."

Dumbledore shook his head, saying something meaningful, his blue eyes a little confused.

"Since most of the things happening in that land today are in line with people's expectations, and they are all cheering and agreeing, then it should represent correctness—Gellert, the justice of the minority is not justice, you should understand this very well. Then I really don't understand, where exactly did the disaster begin."

"Sorry, I can only answer half of that question. The other half, you may have to ask that little thing."

Grindelwald shrugged, leisurely picked up a handkerchief and wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth, and said slowly.

"It's actually very simple, in my opinion there are at least two reasons."

"No matter how powerful an existence is, there must be a scope of conditions for existence, just like giants cannot defeat fish-men in the water. Acting rashly and blindly entering an unfamiliar field of combat will most likely lead to a miserable death. The former Soviet Union won victory because of this point of the enemy, and now they are about to pay the price for it—democracy, free economy, free market, they don't even know as much about these things as a first-year Hogwarts student."

"... Cough cough, the latter example is not very convincing." Dumbledore coughed lightly, somewhat helplessly.

"The second point, there is simply no such thing as something that can benefit most people in a short period of time without harming the interests of others—if it exists, it must be an illusion! Either the so-called majority are the abusers, or... they are the prey."

Ignoring Dumbledore's interruption, a cold light flashed in Grindelwald's eyes.

Although he didn't understand Elena's complicated theories, based on his many years of experience and his observations in the Soviet Union these days, Grindelwald was very certain that that huge country was definitely going to be in big trouble.

"But, back then..."

Dumbledore frowned, obviously not very convinced.

"Whether it's the Saints who followed you, the wizards who stood against you, or those people in the non-magical world who resisted fascism, they are clearly different from what you said..."
