Huh? There's a magic school here.

Regardless of the opinions expressed by the people, the nation has its own considerations. While the people are still figuring out how to win this war, the nation is considering how to maintain social stability during the war and how to distribute the spoils afterward.

In the end, the Chinese government relented during the negotiations, as the influence of Confucianism over thousands of years was not easily eradicated. The Great Han Kingdom, as a developed country, would pay $100 billion or equivalent in goods annually, while Japan would pay much more! Japan would pay $200 billion and also return $10 billion worth of cultural relics it had stolen from the Chinese Kingdom each year.

Australia received $80 billion plus $50 billion in minerals and resources, while other countries contributed anywhere from several billion to tens of billions. Ultimately, China will collect nearly $500 billion in funds and resources from these countries annually, while correspondingly paying 20% ​​of its post-war profits.

While the Muggle world was in turmoil due to the dimensional invasion, the magical world was also preparing for war. The Ministry of Magic announced several related policies, including the following treaties!

First, starting in 2026, all adult wizards will be placed on high alert, and all except students will be at the command of the Ministry of Magic at any time. Anyone who disobeys will be tried by Wizengamot, have their wands confiscated, their magic stripped, and be expelled from the wizarding world.

Secondly, once a state of war is declared, martial law will be imposed throughout the wizarding world. All wizarding residential areas will be under the control of the Aurors at all entrances and exits; those without proper permits will be prohibited from leaving or entering. The Ministry of Magic's Department of Transportation will also cooperate with the Aurors to strictly control the Floo Network, Portkeys, and all other teleportation arrays, and will rigorously vet apparition techniques.

Third, from the date of the decree until the state of war is declared in 2026, all wizards may relocate their immediate family members (up to three generations) to wizarding communities. Upon relocation, they must be registered in their names and issued the necessary documents. Once the state of war is declared, Muggles will generally no longer be permitted to relocate into the wizarding world.

Fourth, the Ministry of Magic will cooperate with Hogwarts to promote knowledge about offensive and defensive magic.

Fifth, curse magic.

Sixth, magical resources will be under the unified management of the Ministry of Magic.

Seventh, the regulations governing the application and management of magical resources used by wizards in accordance with normal circumstances.

Eighth, some management regulations concerning Ministry of Magic staff.

Ninth, Explanation of the Aurors' Rights During the War Preparation Period...

The lengthy decrees and treaties filled the entire page of the Daily Prophet, forcing Duan Yuze to increase the newspaper's coverage to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic. He was summoned to a meeting at the Ministry by Diane, primarily to request that the Daily Prophet assist the Ministry in controlling public opinion during the state of war.

Duan Yuze was also helpless. What could he do? Although his good brother was the Director of the Department of Law Enforcement at the Ministry of Magic, he had no choice but to bow to the Ministry of Magic when it came to the entire wizarding world.

Inside the Ministry of Magic's meeting room, a discussion is underway regarding whether Diagon Alley and the Void in the Dragon Kingdom should remain open to Muggles during the war. The Ministry of Magic's Treasury is in favor of continuing to open these places, as each day they are open results in a massive influx of Galleons into the Treasury's coffers. The Auror Command opposes this, arguing that martial law should be in place during wartime and that the safety of wizards' families must be guaranteed.

Because if problems arise among the wizards' families, it can easily lead to instability within the army, and if the wizards disobey orders, then the destruction of humanity is not far off.

A wizard from the Treasury jumped out and pointed at Halken.

"What do you warriors know! War is all about money! Once our financial resources are depleted, how will we buy potions? How will we compensate the families of the fallen? How will we replenish our depleted supplies?"

The officers under the Auror Command couldn't stand by and watch their superiors be criticized, so they all spoke up to refute him.

"What do you know about war! The minister has already ordered the wizards to move their direct relatives for three generations into these areas. Do you know how much of an impact it would have if orcs infiltrated these places? If the morale of the wizards on the front lines is low and unrest occurs, is that a matter of galleons? It's a matter of whether all of humanity will continue to exist!"

"Orcs managed to infiltrate? That just proves you Aurors are all useless! You couldn't even handle those orcs on your own territory, protected by formations. Calling you useless is too lenient! I'll refrain from using harsh words for the sake of us being colleagues and classmates!"

"Does your Treasury Department have no idea how much pressure we Aurors are under right now? We have so many places to protect! Not only do we have to protect our own territory, but we also have to take care of the problems in the Muggle world! This interdimensional war isn't just about us wizards; we also need the help of the Muggles!"

The Ministry of Magic staff sitting at the conference table were arguing and complaining amongst themselves, while their department heads were sitting together whispering amongst themselves.

"Harken, how about we grab a drink at the bar after the meeting? It's been ages since we got together!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Darius. You're not afraid of Diane arresting you, but I am! Last time I got a real dressing down from Diane just because I was drinking with you!"

"Who told you guys to get me completely drunk last time? If I don't yell at you, who am I supposed to yell at? This time we'll drink a little less, just to relax because I've been too busy lately!"

"Alright then, by the way, you've been married for two years, how come there's still no sign of a baby? Look at Benha and Joanna, their child is already studying at Hogwarts!"

"How can we compare to them? They got pregnant before they were even in school, which is already a huge favor to the school! Besides, you're still single, what right do you have to talk to me like that!"

"What's that saying from the Dragon Kingdom again? 'How can one establish a family when the Xiongnu have not yet been defeated!' That's it! Pang Minghui taught me that!"

"Come on, you're the Auror's Office Director now! Once we're in war mode, your power and status are second only to mine. What more do you want to achieve? What? You're interested in the position I'm holding? If you are, just say so. We're brothers, there's nothing we can't discuss!"

"Come on, don't even think about it. They won't let you retire during the war. Even if you did, there's still Pang Minghui! I'm already under enough pressure; I don't want to worry about your mess!"

"By the way, I haven't seen Principal Andres much lately. What has he been busy with?"

"Principal Andres? He's been busy communicating with the five major powers of Earth lately! After all, we don't even know if we can stop the orc invasion on our own, and even if we can, the losses will be considerable!"

"Yes, I wonder how many people here are still alive after the war."

After saying this, the two fell silent, watching the wizards still arguing. War is never a pleasant thing; the saying "Generals inevitably die on the battlefield" is never just an empty phrase.
