Ivan vaguely heard what Dumbledore seemed to be suggesting, but the latter did not explain too much about it, but continued to speak.
"Decades ago, there were people who wanted to change the status quo of the magic world as much as you...Of course, his ideas were much more radical than you!"
"You mean Grindelwald?!" Ivan raised his eyebrows, and almost instantly he guessed who the other party was talking about.
"Well, it seems that you know him a little bit too?" Dumbledore asked slightly surprised.
"I have seen Grindelwald's deeds in "The Great Events of Modern Wizards". It says that he wants wizards to live in this world with fairness and even further rule over Muggles... Is that true?" Ivan Ban The true half of the test said.
Dumbledore nodded first, then shook his head.
"The same can be said, but it is not accurate enough.
Grindelwald believes that there is no possibility of harmonious coexistence between wizards and Muggles, and the status of a race cannot be obtained by negotiation and tolerance. So sooner or later, war will break out, but sooner or later, the result can only be one side ruling the other. Rather than waiting for the Muggles to start, let the wizards start the war! "
While we still have this ability...
Dumbledore silently swallowed the last sentence.
"Grindelwald is consciously confident that he can win Muggles? To win the war?" Ivan asked puzzled.
In his expectation, although the wizard's magic is magical, it definitely does not have the ability to defeat the Muggle world.
"Grindelwald has spent decades visiting various places to promote his ideas, and has won the support of many wizards. The believers are almost all over the world..." Dumbledore said with emotion, his expression was slightly moved, but he soon returned to it. After passing the gods, he continued. "Not only that, he also chose the best time to implement his plan..."
"Two worlds...wars?!" Ivan muttered to himself, he suddenly remembered when Grindelwald was most active, just before and after World War I and World War II.
The Muggles were hostile to each other and the war was endless. To some extent, it was indeed the best time for wizards to step on the stage of history!
"So Grindelwald wants to provoke a war between Muggles, weaken their power, or directly represent the wizard to join one of the forces, wait for the opportunity to control and win over the other's upper-level figures, and then find a way to win the war?" Ivan guessed As he said, he was also shocked by Grindelwald's generous work.
More importantly, this path seems really feasible.
Wizards possess magical magic and are the objects that both sides of the war must win over.
However, compared to the allies that originally dominated the world order, Germany, as a new force vainly attempting to overthrow the old world, is obviously more in line with Grindelwald's requirements. As a force, the wizard joins the German army that lacks allies, and it is easy to receive official attention. .
Next, only need to propagate in place, and let the wizards show their talents in the war, and use magic to reverse the battle, and then gradually gain the recognition and support of soldiers and civilians.
In the end, of course, it is secretly eroding the upper class of Muggles and waiting for the victory of the war. Through the canonization of war exploits, the promotion of blood lineage, and the suppression of power, the group of wizards becomes a privileged class, so as to realize the dream of wizards to rule Muggles...
"Amazing idea..." After clarifying Grindelwald's plan to dominate the world, Ivan couldn't help sighing.
Although he did not agree with this idea, he still admired the fact that Grindelwald could deliberately consider for the wizarding group, find a feasible route, and work hard for it.
"It's amazing, but it's just a castle in the sky after all. He can't even complete the first step of the plan..." Dumbledore said softly.
"Why do you say that?" Ivan looked at Dumbledore unexpectedly.
"Greenward does not represent all wizards, and there are no fewer people who oppose him than those who support him!" Dumbledore's expression was serious. "For example, the people of the International Wizarding Federation have been trying to arrest Grindelwald and terminate his evil plan. In fact, they have also achieved certain results. They successfully sent Grindelwald to prison, only because of the unfavorable guardianship and let him give him Escaped."
Ivan understood in an instant that Grindelwald could not resolve the contradictions within the wizard, and various plans could not be implemented at all.
If you rashly join the Axis powers, there will also be a large number of wizards in the Allied Powers to help, and the final forces will be balanced...
In addition, if he remembers correctly, the time of Grindelwald's defeat was 1945, which coincided with the time of Germany's surrender, and the information contained therein is worth pondering.
Ivan touched his chin, and suddenly thought that the current situation of wizards at that time might be a bit similar to the mutants in the previous film and television series, divided into doves who advocate peace and eagle cards who advocate war.
The result of the constant fighting between the two sides only consumes the little power left by the side, and at the same time causes destruction, making ordinary people hate mutants even more.
The only thing Ivan felt fortunate was that the wizard mastered the Forgetting Curse and the Muggle Expulsion Curse, so he could hide in the dark without causing Muggle hostility.
"Then Grindelwald has ever thought about how to reverse this unfavorable situation?" Ivan looked at Dumbledore and asked. Grindelwald's methods must be extraordinary if he can come up with such a grand plan. So easily surrendered.
"Destroy Paris!" Dumbledore said slowly.
"Huh?!" Ivan was stunned.
Why is it suddenly involved in the destruction of Paris, and the insult is not like this...
"What do you think will happen if an important Muggle city is destroyed?" Dumbledore did not answer immediately, but asked instead.
"In that case, the existence of wizards will be known to everyone, and Muggles will panic because of this... But... they will never surrender just because a city is destroyed~com~ On the contrary, this will be great. This deepens the Muggle’s malice towards the wizards, angers them completely, and may even become the fuse of the war between the two sides!" Ivan tried to infer.
Dumbledore nodded. "Grindelwald wants to deliberately create such hostility, forcing all neutral wizards to stand on his side... This is a big gamble, and the bet is the future of the entire magical world!"
"It's crazy..." Ivan said in a speechless voice.
"Obviously, he failed in the end. The Aurors who arrived in time joined forces to stop his magic and avoid the tragedy." Dumbledore said the result indifferently.
Ivan was not surprised by this, because Paris was fine in history and was not destroyed by fire at all.
"By the way, professor, why do you know so clearly?" Ivan suddenly asked.
According to Dumbledore’s statement, Grindelwald’s carefully conceived plan failed to implement even the first step, and was forced to make considerable changes in the follow-up, deviating from the original route. Then Dumbledore was again How to get the full picture of the plan?
