Chapter 793: The Button to Destroy the World
How fragile is an ordinary government in the world of Harry Potter without the protection of magical powers?
Just look at the current state of the United States!
This superpower, who rose to the top of the world after the fall of the Soviet Union and is also the undisputed leader in the fields of economy, military, scientific research, and culture, has now become an object to be played by British pure-blood wizards.
In the presidential office of the White House in Washington, the political heart of the United States of America, Zhang Cheng was sitting in the chair that originally belonged to the president at this moment, admiring the two black suitcases 45 centimeters long, 35 centimeters wide, and 25 centimeters high placed in front of the table, with a faint smile on his face.
Obviously, this thing is nothing else, it is a nuclear code suitcase known to the outside world as a "rugby", and the documents contained in it show the number of all US nuclear weapons, where they are deployed, launch routes and bases.
One of the lockboxes has been kept by the President of the United States for a long time, while the other has been kept by the Secretary of Defense.
Once the launch procedure is initiated, the two sides must each take out the password in the suitcase and send it to the combat headquarters, and then the communication center will mix it into a new set of passwords, which will be transmitted to each launch platform through special communication frequencies one by one, and finally it must be checked to ensure that it is correct before it can be launched.
After all, as a powerful force capable of wiping human civilization off the face of the earth, nuclear weapons are not something that can be put into combat casually.
In order to ensure that the world does not fall into ruin because of a madman or madman, each nuclear power has added layers of insurance to the nuclear forces at its disposal.
Unless it is really on the verge of extinction, it will never be used lightly.
Unfortunately, no matter how strict the constraints, it is always human beings themselves who make the final decision.
And for wizards, controlling ordinary people is simply easier than eating and drinking.
In less than five days, almost all of the nuclear warheads in the US inventory have been taken out and secretly sent to the corresponding launch platform.
Now, with a single order, the President, Secretary of Defense, and high-level elites of the United States, controlled by the Imperius Curse, will join forces to start the first and last thermonuclear war in human history.
Of course, before that, Zhang Cheng did not forget to go to the warehouse in person and take away a lot of high-yield hydrogen bomb warheads that have just been maintained and can be put for another ten years.
In a way, he had gotten everything he wanted as planned, and there was only one last step left.
Just when he was hesitating whether to directly destroy the world and leave, or wait until he saw the love and kill between Voldemort, Dumbledore and Harry Potter before making a move, Lucius Malfoy suddenly burst in from outside with a nervous look and shouted, "Oh no! Dumbledore just saved the President and the Minister of Defense from us a few minutes ago!"
"Oh, did he really do it......" Zhang Cheng picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee, seemingly not surprised at all.
"Damn! you're still in the mood for coffee!What are our plans to do without these two people?" Lucius slapped the table impatiently.
He was already in the middle of it, and if his plan failed, the best outcome would be to be imprisoned in Azkaban and keep the Dementors company for the rest of his life.
"Relax, I've prepared the polyjuice potion in advance, and everything Dumbledore did was expected. Zhang Cheng casually placed the two glass bottles on the table.
Perhaps for ordinary people, without the president and the secretary of defense, it is absolutely impossible to successfully launch a nuclear weapon, but for wizards, it is only a trivial trouble, especially with adequate preparation.
Staring at the polyjuice decoction in the bottle, Lucius suddenly realized something, and quickly asked, "You...... Did you know Dumbledore would interfere with our plans?"
Zhang Cheng nodded playfully: "Yes, I know." After all, the fall of the Magical Congress of America is such a big thing, it would be strange if he didn't do something. But don't worry, his life will soon come to an end. ”
"And what are we going to do next?" Lucius' tone was full of uncertainty.
"Quite simply, leave half of the people to continue to control the top of the country, and the other half to go to Russia. Remember, you only have a maximum of one week, and whether it succeeds or not, after a week the project will start as usual. At that time, the whole world will be reborn under the purification of thermonuclear weapons. ”
"Got it!"
......
Meanwhile, across the ocean, in England, Voldemort is teaching Harry Potter all sorts of powerful and evil spells.
This "savior", who was deeply trapped in pain and hatred, had already abandoned the last bit of conscience and practiced spells with ordinary people caught from the surrounding area, and his hands were stained with the blood of innocents for more than half a month.
By experiencing the killing and death up close, his Deathcurse grows in power day by day, and is even able to defeat most Death Eaters in one-on-one duels.
With such an astonishing growth rate, not to mention the Death Eaters who were beaten to the point of losing their temper, even the Dark Lord couldn't help but give a very high evaluation.
You don't have to ask to know that Voldemort wants to train Harry to be his assistant and give Albus Dumbledore a big surprise in the upcoming Armageddon.
On the other hand, Ron, who returned home, also sent a steady stream of information from his parents through special channels.
The poor creatures who joined the Order of the Phoenix had no idea that their every move had long been firmly controlled by the enemy, and even Aberforth had secretly betrayed the Order and was secretly looking for an opportunity to put on the magic bracelet for his brother who didn't know what it was for.
"Damn, the world out there is really worse every day!" Arthur Weasley grumbled as he dragged his tired body home, rubbing his brows and whispering.
Since being expelled from the British Ministry of Magic, he has lost his financial resources, he has not been able to find a job, his family is getting more and more difficult every day, and he has to help Dumbledore on some dangerous missions, and the whole person is about to be crushed.
"Relax, dear, I believe in you, trust Dumbledore, and we'll get through. Molly hurried to comfort her husband.
"Well, let's hope so, it's not going to be good for us right now. Now that the wizarding world in the United States has fallen, Dumbledore has issued an urgent call today to prepare us for full-scale war. Arthur sighed helplessly.
"Urgent summoning order? Oh my God! Is the situation getting so bad? Do you want me to send the kids away first?"
"It's too late! We've got to leave tonight......!
As the Weasleys discussed the contingency measures, they didn't realize that Ron was watching them from a dark corner around the corner of the stairs, and then jotted down every word and stuffed it into an inconspicuous leather pocket.
