Chapter 167 Fudge: Voldemort is Coming
In ancient Greece more than 2000 years ago, there was a storyteller called Aesop. People compiled the stories Aesop told into a book called "Aesop's Fables".

There is a story in "Aesop's Fables" called "The Wolf is Coming", which is well known in China in the previous life. Almost every mother has told the story of "The Wolf is Coming" to her children to teach them not to lie.

Because once you tell too many lies, sooner or later, no one will believe you when you tell the truth.

Telling too many lies leads to no one believing the truth. This kind of dilemma is called "Tacitus Trap" in political science.

"Tacitus Trap" is named after Tacitus, a historian in ancient Rome.This concept originally comes from the "History of Tacitus" written by Tacitus, which is what Tacitus said when evaluating a Roman emperor:
"Once the emperor has become the object of people's hatred, the good and bad things he does will arouse people's hatred of him."

It was later extended by Chinese scholars to become a social phenomenon, which means that when a government department or an organization loses credibility, no matter telling the truth or lying, doing good or bad deeds, it will be regarded as lying and doing bad things.

Now, Lockhart is going to use the fact that the Ministry of Magic has fallen into the "Tacitus Trap" to make a big fuss, but in reverse.

Barty Crouch Jr. is a smart man, but he trusts Voldemort too much, so Lockhart can smoothly guide Barty Crouch Jr. to make many wrong judgments.

Due to the growth environment, Barty Crouch Jr. lacked paternal love since he was a child, so Barty Crouch Jr. always regarded Voldemort as his father.

In this way, Voldemort, Bellatrix and Barty Crouch Jr. can all be called a family of three, hahahaha, Lockhart was surprised by the whimsy of his out-of-time Tucao soul arrive.

Lockhart uses this well to make Barty Crouch Jr. make a bad judgment call.

For example, in Barty Crouch Jr.'s battle plan just now, taking advantage of the emptiness of the Ministry of Magic to encircle the Ministry of Magic, and then come to encircle the spot to fight for aid is a very, very important part.

The specific plan is this. Since the Death Eaters released a large number of Dark Marks in the sky of Little Hangleton, the Ministry of Magic will definitely send people to check.

And since Fudge himself and the interest groups he represents have been denying Voldemort's resurrection, it must be the forces controlled by Fudge himself who are responsible for checking these places.

Except for such a big event, the core departments within the Ministry of Magic will definitely work overtime urgently, and due to the recent crazy work of Fudge and Wood to eliminate dissidents, the core departments of the Ministry of Magic are all Fudge's people.

In this way, as long as Voldemort takes the Death Eaters to find an appropriate time to surround the Ministry of Magic, Fudge's power can be emptied at once, and the little Hydra and the Pure Blood Council "killed the Ministry of Magic and took the bird position" Even if the goal is achieved.

That's what Barty Crouch Jr. originally planned, and that's what he announced at the meeting just now.

However, under the hint of Voldemort played by Lockhart, Barty Crouch Jr. abandoned this plan and changed to another plan. Lockhart told Barty Crouch Jr. at the time that this plan It's called murder.

The plan has added many follow-up steps on the original basis, and only Lockhart and Barty Crouch Jr. know the specific plan.

Now Lockhart, playing the role of Voldemort, has led the Death Eaters to the interior of the Ministry of Magic. They came here aboveboard, because they controlled a Floo network.

Inside the Ministry of Magic, there were only a few staff on duty who were chatting, and most of them were looking around Little Hangleton for the Dark Mark that appeared on a large scale just now.

Most of these people included the Minister of Magic, Fudge. After he arrived at the place and made a hasty inspection, he said to the reporter of the "Daily Prophet" next to him without waiting for the Aurors to report:
"This is a nasty prank, no You-Know-Who, no Death Eaters, just a few young wizards who have just graduated from Hogwarts doing pranks, get it?"

Charles, the reporter of the "Daily Prophet", kept nodding his head while quickly recording Fudge's words with a quill. Recently, the reporters of the "Daily Prophet" have changed three times because their articles cannot perfectly express the meaning of the Minister. .

Leaving Kingsley, Wood and others to continue to monitor the scene, Fudge yawned, and returned to the Ministry of Magic with a team of people, preparing to go back to the office to sleep.

However, when he just returned to the office, the four Aurors around him suddenly fell down, and then a man appeared in front of him.

"V-V-God-Mystery-Black-Demon-King!" Fudge hesitated for a while, and finally read out the name of the visitor.

Yes, of course it was the Death Eaters led by Lockhart. They had long hid in Fudge's minister's office, and they controlled Fudge as soon as Fudge returned.

If Barty Crouch Jr.'s original plan was followed, then the goals of Hydra and the Pure Blood Council have been more than half completed, but now they are implementing another set of "killing people" plans.

"A coward and coward like you can be a minister in the Ministry of Magic?" Barty Crouch Jr. looked at Fudge contemptuously, and then said, report to the outside world for mercy, tell them the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters Right here at the Ministry of Magic, let them come to your rescue!
Fudge was trembling with fright, but he didn't take any action. Instead, he said rather forcefully: "Wishful thinking!"

"Drill the heart and gouge out the bone!"

One minute later, an owl that was given a lot of stimulants flew out of Fudge's office and quickly flew towards Little Hangleton. It carried a letter of help to Wood in its paw. Wood is currently Fudge's most trusted person. Fudge pinned all his hopes on Wood.

Little Hangleton Wood received Fudge's letter, but did not take any action. Instead, he waited until five o'clock in the morning, and saw owls writing "The Dark Mark is a prank, all is well" on the front page of the prophecy. The Home Daily was sent out.

Wood just sent the letter to the "Daily Prophet", asking them to rush out an extra newspaper immediately, publishing Fudge's story about meeting Voldemort at the Ministry of Magic.

That night, Fudge sent the news that Voldemort had appeared in the Ministry of Magic to the outside world. He waited for help but thought he was dying, and suddenly all the Death Eaters around him disappeared.

Soon, a group of armed wizards cautiously walked into the office of the Minister of Magic, led by Kingsley, who looked at Fudge and asked suspiciously, "Minister, where is the mysterious man?"
