"The meeting seems to have taken much longer than Maka expected?"
In the venue, Kingsley leaned on the back of the chair with his sleeves wrapped in his hands, gently holding the magic tablet that Maka had prepared for him. But he looked left and right and listened silently, but the meeting never made any progress.
To be honest, as far as Kingsley's personal feelings are concerned, Ajinbaade's motion is affirmed or denied, no matter what! After all, half an hour has passed since the beginning of this meeting. I believe that Maka in Spiral Town must be waiting for a result as soon as possible.
Right now, Haierbo and those living corpses may leave London at any time! This is no time to waste time.
However, if we take action without approval from the Federation, the future will definitely become more difficult.
Just imagine, if even many members of the Federation are disgusted with the British wizarding community, then although it can't be called being attacked from all sides, it is still the worst state of being isolated and helpless.
Therefore, Maka did take this emergency meeting very seriously, and Kingsley, who was smart enough, did understand that Maka had such thoughts.
Unfortunately, due to the previous exchange of words between the Russian representative Ivan and the Vice Chairman of the Magic Congress of the United States Hester, the discussion point in the meeting had involuntarily deviated from Akinbad's original intention. Even though he tried to forcefully bring the topic back to the topic later, he still failed.
"...Mr. President, through your narration and that memory scene just now, I believe that everyone here has actually experienced to a certain extent the difficulties of the British magic world today."
The person speaking at the moment was the representative of the Egyptian wizards. As a country with a long history of magic, its official members still have a considerable say in the Federation.
He paused for a moment, then continued:
"Then... Didn't Mr. President bring a group of Aurors and Dark Wizard strikers who are stationed at the federation headquarters to provide support? I'm thinking, if the support is not enough... we might as well consolidate our opinions and make a decision. If all countries send a certain number of wizards to gather as follow-up second reinforcements, and once again provide stronger support to the British magical community... what do you think?"
Probably because Egypt's geographical location is neither far nor close to the United Kingdom, the representative's speech seemed a bit ambiguous.
However, the relationship between the wizarding circles of Egypt and the UK has been pretty good over the years, and international cooperation projects are ongoing in various aspects, so he still took the initiative to propose such a new initiative towards the UK.
But to put it bluntly, how many supporting wizards can the second reinforcements gather in the end? This has become a very subtle new problem.
Of course, the reason why this new issue came up was ultimately because Congressman Ivan from Russia just now took the lead in taking the initiative to lead the intervention.
"Well... not only is this emergency meeting going further and further, but it also... seems to be gradually heading in a very troublesome direction!"
At the moment when the Egyptian representative expressed his proposal, this idea passed through the minds of Kingsley off the court and Akinbad on the stage almost at the same time.
And more importantly, as the Egyptian representative kept talking, it would be difficult for Akinbad to get back the motion to "abolish the "Secrecy Act".
"What should I do? Should I do something more forceful and try to change the conversation?"
In the venue where there was already a heated discussion about how many supporters to send, Akinbad thought about it and glanced in the direction of Kingsley again.
When he saw that Kingsley seemed to be a little restless and hesitant, he finally slapped the podium as hard as he could today, and then glared at all the MPs in the audience.
To be honest, Ajinbad didn't understand what was going on in the minds of those who seemed to be selflessly discussing the reinforcement proposal—didn't those guys just not want to mention the "Secrecy Act" again, so they chose to escape
As for the facts, let alone abolishing the "Secrecy Act" and restoring the peaceful coexistence between wizards and Muggles, even if it is limited to the UK as a test area, it is almost impossible to accept.
In the final analysis, this kind of thing that can affect the whole body at a single moment is not something that can be tested at all!
Nowadays, in London alone, rumors are already flying all over the Muggle world, and this is in a situation where the British Ministry of Magic is trying its best to control rumors. If there were a few more Muggle cities, or even the entire UK, the situation would be unimaginable.
However, can the next situation in the UK be solved by one more joint support force from various countries, whose numbers are uncertain
"boom-"
Ajinbad's slap hurt even the palm of his hand, and the sound it made spread throughout the entire venue even without the aid of the amplifying spell.
At that second, even Councilor Ivan, who had been banging on the table just now, was slightly stunned, and then immediately cast an appreciative look at Akinbad on the stage.
All right! Let’s put aside Ivan’s sudden affection for Akinbad. At this moment, the venue was indeed quiet again as Akinbad wanted.
However, the looks in the eyes of some congressmen became not so good-looking.
As the president of the association, Ajinbad could only ignore the unkind eyes that were fixed on him for the time being, and frowned and said loudly:
"I see that you are very interested in discussing reinforcements? Then please forgive me for asking - I don't know how much combat power and what kind of lineup you think should be sent in order to solve the problem that has troubled the British magic world for so long.' What about the Halbo Disaster? Then... who will be responsible for leading the army there?"
While questioning him twice in a row, Ajinbad's heart was far less strong than he appeared on the surface.
At this moment, he was even thinking that if these two questions could not silence the mouths of the congressmen below, he would have to ask Kingsley to inform Maka.
However, the expressions shown by the representatives from various countries present after the moment of surprise once again seemed a little subtle.
"President Ajinbad—"
Suddenly, the Argentine wizard representative slowly stood up, pushed the straw hat on his head, and said lazily:
"Isn't there a Nama in the British magic world... Oh, by the way! Is Maka McClain here? Even if we have to send joint reinforcements, in the end we are just providing auxiliary support! There is such an 'outstanding' 'genius' as Mr. McClain With the wizard here, it seems that... there is no need for supporters to fight Haierbo head-on, right?"
The two words that emphasize the tone intentionally or unintentionally fully reveal their teasing meaning. But if I have to say it, this Argentine representative is not targeting Maca, but is trying to squeeze Ajinbad, whose attitude is becoming more and more biased.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more tense.
