Chapter 143 Informer

What are the important factors that determine the outcome of a war?

There are many aspects, but there is no doubt that intelligence occupies an extremely important proportion.

In history, there have been many major incidents caused by information asymmetry.

For example... Yamamoto, who attacked Pearl Harbor and launched the naval battle of Midway Island, died after being attacked by the U.S. military because his telegram was deciphered.

For another example, the daily leakage of intelligence by the National Army can only make the micro-manipulation master Chang Kaishen sigh with emotion:

"No one in the world is in common."

But in the entire Death Eater team, the spy of our camp is only Deep Sea Snape.

He is indeed a high-ranking man, trusted by Voldemort, and can get a lot of important information.

But correspondingly, Snape also had a lot of information that he couldn't learn.

Last summer, Voldemort sent wizards to contact Grindelwald, wanting to fight a war between two demons... Snape didn't know.

Also, Voldemort's initial target was the Prophecy Sphere of the Department of Mysteries.

The lack of this information has caused a lot of losses.

Then as an illegal Animagus, Rita who can turn into a beetle, her intelligence ability is beyond doubt.

That's right... William does have her secrets and can drive her for free.

But correspondingly, blindly squeezing will only make her slack at work, and may even deliberately dig holes in the back.

To lure is the best way to cooperate.

What does Rita like?

She writes so many articles that confuse right and wrong, but what she really does is still Kanon.

And William lacks the most, is Galleon.

His super power is not only magic, but also the sentence:

!

William made millions of Galleons from goblins just betting on the ball, he is a real moneymaker!

For a mere 200,000 Galleons, you can buy Rita's information... It couldn't be cheaper.

Besides, William didn't pay either.

By the end of the war, just liquidate a Death Eater or two, and you'll get the money back.

But those critical information, at a specific moment, can really save people!

All William needs to do is to give Rita money so that she can stop running around and concentrate on intelligence.

After Rita left, William did not leave the room, but waited a little longer.

Anne stopped playing Gwent with William and started playing wizard chess with Hermione.

William sat next to Hermione, shouting "Get down here, get down here".

Seeing Annie's resentful eyes, she hurriedly talked about going down here and down here, and she also helped out.

The three of them played around for a while, and at the appointed time, Hermione quietly left the Pig's Head Bar.

Soon, she will bring the second person she wants to meet today.

To be honest, William did not expect that the other party would write him a letter, requesting that he must meet outside the school.

After all...we can meet every day at school!

That's right, this person is... Marietta.

Marietta looked haggard, her eyes were red, and when she saw William, she suddenly grabbed his collar and sobbed.

"..."

Hermione knew that Marietta had always liked William,

So he couldn't help but glance at him.

Wouldn't you still secretly lock her up while I was in class?

Annie glanced at the three of them with schadenfreude. In her opinion, her brother must have done something that "footed on n boats", and now he has been called to the door!

Old scumbag! !

"William...I have one thing that I can only come to you...I beg you to help me." Marietta said intermittently.

"Of course, we're friends. We knew each other before the sorting, didn't we?"

William looked upright and gave Marietta some more chocolate to loosen her clothes.

"Is it a problem in life? Is it academic?" Hermione asked.

"My mother works in the Floo Office of the Division of Magical Transportation." Marietta sobbed.

"Umbridge...let me take your Akali cram school and report you...build an army..."

William had a black question mark on his face.

Dude...he just got Rita and Umbridge got him in the background.

See this is the importance of spying!

Marietta cried with red eyes and said:

"William, you know, I've always... liked you.

I'm not going to report you, but my mother, she works at the Ministry of Magic.

Umbridge threatened me with firing her and losing her job if she didn't agree..."

Marietta burst into tears and covered her mouth with her hands.

William gently pressed Marietta's head, and said in a deep voice:

"Look me in the eyes, Marietta! Do you believe me?"

Marietta looked up and met his eyes.

Those dark green pupils attracted her like a whirlpool.

"I believe you!"

William nodded slightly when Legilimency started to work.

By having to be careful, he had to judge whether Marietta was lying, deliberately cooperating with Umbridge against him.

It doesn't look like she's lying.

William thought for a while and realized that this was a good opportunity.

He whispered, "Secretary Fudge is about to step down, and trust me, he can't fire your mother.

I know what you're worrying about, but I can promise you a decent job at the Akali mystery shop if your mom gets fired.

Hermione, what's our salary? "

"Even for ordinary employees, there are one hundred and sixty Galleons, which is about three times more than the staff of the Ministry of Magic." Hermione said quickly.

William smiled contentedly.

"Look, it's all right, isn't it, Marietta?

If you're afraid of retaliation from the Ministry of Magic, don't worry. After you graduate, you can also work with Qiu.

No one can affect your future life, not even Umbridge! "

Marietta was stunned.

Is it that simple to solve?

"Then I'm going to reject her?"

"No." William's mouth twitched slightly.

"You can't say no to Umbridge, you have to look hesitant and tell her you won't betray a friend.

When she threatens you to fire your mother, you tell her:

You are willing to help her report me, so she can rest assured... Okay. "

With William's assurance, Marietta gradually felt relieved.

What she is most afraid of is that her mother will be affected... As a girl who has just turned seventeen years old, being able to come to William has consumed all her courage.

But William helped her solve her troubles easily, and it was not so difficult to fight against a Deputy Minister of Magic.

It can only be said that Umbridge underestimated William's charisma among the students.

He won so many medals and did so many things... Is the student leader for nothing?

After saying goodbye to Marietta, William and the others also left the Pig's Head Bar.

"Brother, do you think Umbridge will find Fudge?" Anne asked softly after a moment of thought.

If it's just a trick to Umbridge, she doesn't think it's necessary for her brother to do such a game.

"Yes, Fudge will definitely come back." William said, "Don't forget, Qiu named the Defense Against the Dark Arts cram school D.A."

Hermione continued:

"Although D.A is the abbreviation of Magic Defense, it is also the abbreviation of Dumbledore's Army.

Fudge is about to step down, and he is jumping on the wall now, as long as there is a chance, anything can be done. "

William glanced admiringly at Hermione, who was now becoming more and more politically astute thanks to his efforts.

Not bad... After graduation, you can move on to the youngest Minister of Magic.

Just when the three were about to go to Three Broomsticks, William was stopped again.

This time it was Harry and Ron.

Well, the troubles of adolescence... William felt like he was about to become a big brother.
