Ammosta's proposal was postponed by the conference.
That is the same thing that was expected.
A proposal of such profound impact is impossible to pass just by his speech in the meeting.
All member states' representatives must report this matter to their respective magical ministries and undergo serious discussion before any decision can be made.
With the exposure of Ammosta's proposal, Paris has become the focus of world magical civilization.
Countless eyes focused on this city, and both the light and dark worlds were paying attention to the International Association of Wizards, which has become the focus again.
Mainstream media around the world have extensively reported on this issue, with many authoritative figures in the magical community publishing their opinions and discussing the gains and losses in newspapers.
Even those far from Hogwarts, such as Harry and his friends worried about Professor Brian's office being invaded, have also heard the big news that Professor Brian caused in Paris.
For three consecutive days, Ammosta has been tirelessly meeting with the representatives of the magical departments of various countries, constantly expounding his various proposals.
Not only him, but Dumbledore is also a person everyone is eager to visit.
Compared to Ammosta, the President of the International Confederation of Wizards, Dumbledore, is more trustworthy.
People hope to learn from his mouth whether there is any more ambitious purpose hidden behind Ammosta's proposal.
And the various officers of the International Confederation of Wizards, several vice-presidents, especially Hop, are going all out to promote the proposal.
Although even if the proposal passes the review, only the President can enjoy the power.
But as the status of the Confederation in the international magical world increases, they will naturally become beneficiaries.
The motion was ultimately passed.
However, not all member states of the conference have signed the common defense treaty.
Even the German Ministry of Magic, which has some negative views of Ammosta, joined in.
This is quite understandable.
For the European magical community, the Death Eaters are a crisis they need to face immediately. They urgently need to gather their forces to crush the Death Eaters.
In addition to Europe, many powerful magical civilizations around the world are extremely cautious about the establishment of joint forces.
After all, they already possess impressive armed forces, and allowing the Union's troops to enter their territories to investigate black wizard organizations is no trivial matter.
Even though there is some friendship between him and Ammosta, the President, Kowhig, also privately found Ammosta and expressed his concerns to him.
But when Ammosta proposed to build a surveillance mirror workshop in New York, the President's worries dispelled considerably and he reluctantly agreed to support Ammosta's proposal.
Basically, all weak magical civilizations have voted in favor of establishing a joint force.
For them, if black wizard organizations from abroad infiltrate the country, it will be a catastrophic disaster.
Not to mention the Death Eaters and their evil organization, they would also find it difficult to deal with even small-scale black wizard organizations within their own territory.
Amostar's only regret is that, in the Far East, the powerful Eastern civilization has carefully considered and ultimately chosen to reject signing the treaty.
However, Ammosta also understands very well.
They already possess an incredibly deep foundation, coupled with the unique system of their secular society.
Allowing the Union's troops to enter their territory is indeed too sensitive for them.
And the passing of the proposal is not the end, but just a beginning.
Drafting each clause of the common defense treaty was a fierce battle, with disputes during the preparatory meetings reaching a climax.
The specific definition of the concept of "black wizard terrorist organization";
The operational guidelines of the joint forces;
The operational guidelines for the joint forces upon entering a country, and whether they need to follow the host country's laws;
The coordination between the joint forces and the local armed forces of each country;
The specific number of people in the joint forces, as well as the number of people chosen by each magical department to join the joint forces;
The operational budget for the joint forces.
The selection of the members of the coordinating committee.
How many years does the common defense treaty need to be re-signed?
Even Ammosta, who had anticipated the difficult situation, would have wished to pull out his wand and speak through 'fists' in the face of this endless squabble!
Fortunately, the tone for establishing a joint force has been set. After a series of meetings for more than two weeks, the parties have finally reached a consensus.
Members of the common defense treaty must select and report to the headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards for their strike teams within two months.
And pay the annual operational budget for this year.
At the first meeting after the establishment of the coordinating committee, as a member of the countries that signed the common defense treaty, representing British magical circles and attending the conference, Ammosta submitted an application to the committee to define the Death Eaters as an international black wizard organization and to request a full-scale attack by joint forces.
This application was unanimously approved by the committee.
After the establishment of the joint force two months later, these elite strike teams from all member countries will start to pursue and capture Death Eaters!
The moment the meeting was over, Ammosta immediately prepared to pack his bags and leave.
For more than a fortnight, at every second of his stay at headquarters, Ammosta couldn't help but suppress the urge to pull out his wand and burn something.
Even Dumbledore, who had lived for over a century and had seen through many storms, looked much weaker after half a month and countless meetings.
Each room of the pixie hotel is a vast territory. The two men, after packing their luggage, leisurely walk along the pebble-laden sidewalks littered with fallen leaves, heading towards the exit of their room.
Dumbledore stopped in his tracks, reaching out with his long fingers to pinch a piece of withered yellow leaf that floated past. He gazed deeply at the leaf's veined patterns, as if examining his own life. The blue eyes were filled with a touch of sadness, and the flowing beard added to his appearance of aging.
"Two months -"
Discarding the leaf, Dumbledore took a step forward again. He glanced sideways at Ammosta beside him, whose aura was tinged with a hint of malevolence, and smiled.
"What do you think Tom would do during this time, Ammosta?"
Cough cough -
Ammosta cleared his throat, which sounded hoarse, and said,
"You know him best, Dumbledore, President and Headmaster. In short, it wouldn't be wise to hope for his surrender."
Dumbledore chuckled softly.
"That's true. But I think Tom should no longer underestimate you. He will realize that in just three months, the trouble you've brought him far exceeds what I have caused him in the past thirty years--"
Ammosta gently shook his head.
"I'm not particularly concerned about what he thinks of me. The wheels of history turn forward, and all I care about is when the name 'Voldemort' will become history."
Dumbledore smiled, but fell silent.
Whether it be Voldemort or himself, they would eventually be enveloped by the dust of history. The future belongs to the young.
"What are your next plans, Dumbledore Headmaster, do you plan to return to the school?"
Noticing the slight fluctuation in Dumbledore's emotions during the trial, Ammosta raised his eyebrows, tilting his face to look into Dumbledore's eyes.
"Before that, I plan to visit a place and see if I can get lucky--"
Dumbledore smiled, speaking in a light and cheerful tone.
"Get lucky. Soul jars?"
Amostar narrowed his eyes, his tone didn't contain much doubt.
The two divided their tasks clearly, with Ammostar on the surface, striking and restraining Voldemort's forces, while Dumbledore was investigating Voldemort's enigmatic past in secret. He dug out secrets from the dusty history that could decide everything.
Dumbledore nodded slightly.
"Excellent, a place. In fact, I wasn't just thinking about it now, but had an idea early on."
"But, I don't think that's likely to be the place where Tom keeps his beloved soul jars. But since the investigation hasn't made any progress, I think it's worth a try--"
Amosta showed some interest.
"Can I accompany you, Dumbledore Headmaster?"
The two-week high-intensity meetings had also drained Ammosta's energy. He didn't want to return to Hogwarts right now to face the piles of official documents sent by the magical department.
"I can't think of any reason to refuse, Ammosta--"
Dumbledore smiled and said,
"I hope we'll have good luck--"
