He chose the hellish difficulty level Great Britain, to kick-start his power acquisition starting point.
This is one of the most powerful Ministry of Magic in the whole of Europe, with a wizard who is recognized as the most powerful and righteous wizard in the world, Dumbledore, Voldemort also simply did not adopt the guerrilla warfare strategy of striking a shot in one place after another by using all his means, but directly fought to the death in the British Isles.
In addition, his philosophy was much more radical than Grindelwald's, he even raised the slogan of killing all the muggles and leaving the world to wizards alone, but he also learned from the past and never made it clear that he wanted to challenge the "Statute of Secrecy".
Not touching the Statute of Secrecy is equivalent to not touching the bottom line of wizards all over the world.
The "pureblood supremacy theory" also preserves the rule of the established International laws, so other magical governments are in a wait-and-see state when Voldemort is stirring up the storm.
Even if he behaves brutally in Britain, it is only an internal issue, as long as he does not come out to harm others, the other magical governments are happy to watch the British territory in turmoil.
With Voldemort's desire for power, his eyes certainly will not only be placed on the British Isles, but this is the starting point of his choice to conquer the world, as long as he successfully conquered the British magical world, he can use this as the foothold to influence the other magical governments in Europe.
After all, in the absence of too much craziness, his ideology and way of governance actually represented the interests of the vast majority of purebloods and half-bloods (the new school of purebloods).
And once the hardest part is accomplished, just like the ancient siege and war, when the big cities are occupied, then all the other small cities and towns will also watch the wind and surrender, and then the majority of small magical regimes in Europe simply cannot resist his invasion.
But the original Voldemort went crazier and crazier, and also believed the prophecy of the Saviour, giving himself a predestined enemy, and therefore died wasting a full decade of his time.
Even so, he resurrected back to life, and also successfully "devised" a plan and killed Dumbledore, occupied the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts, if not for the destined saviour Harry Potter somehow killing him, he actually might have successfully ruled over Britain.
And now the situation has become much different.
Voldemort killed Harry Potter and became more saner, and his charisma returned to the time when he first started to establish his forces, and most importantly, he completed all-round domination of the British magical community more than a decade in advance, and although he did not kill Dumbledore, he defeated him head-on, allowing his prestige to reach its peak.
At the same time, he relaxed the restrictions of the pureblood supremacy theory, and oppressed only the "mudbloods", while the largest base of half-blood wizards was partially promoted to give more power to balance the purebloods, while the lives of most others did not change.
This led to a political change, and the redistribution of interests in the British magical community became solid, with even more and more wizards becoming loyal to Voldemort.
Even if Dumbledore still exist to bring the resistance, it can not shake his position in the slightest.
And now, the benefits of Voldemort's regime are all visible to the nearest French Ministry of Magic, which accommodated the Muggle wizards who escaped from Britain, and the French wizards who know more about the territory of Britain than the wizards of other countries, are well aware exactly who will benefit and who will be harmed by such a system.
The French Ministry of Magic took an ambiguous attitude toward Voldemort's government and never even issued any condemnation in this regard, and exchanges between the two Department of International Magical Co-operations became frequent after Slughorn became the head of the department on the British side.
You can see a lot of things from the scene that happened in the tavern today, Voldemort is causing more and more influence on the world outside Britain.
After thinking about all this, Jon completely lost the relaxation mentality that he had when he first arrived in France.
For the entire European magical government, the past few years have been at a very delicate juncture, the more stable Voldemort's government holds authority, the more they have to express their attitude towards this kind of social system.
The key to this delicate situation is that no matter what kind of attitude they express, it will not lessen the bloodline conflict, but will intensify it.
So far, none of the magical governments still didn't make any stance on Voldemort's government, as if the British Ministry of Magic is still the same as before, how everyone used to get along, and now it continued to be the same.
But they can not always maintain this status quo, the future will certainly force them to stand in line, which may possibly start off by their own domestic wizards, or maybe it could be started by Voldemort himself!
During the night, Jon wondered about this and finally fell asleep at some point.
The next morning, Dumbledore took him to have an early breakfast in this tavern again, and then the two left the place together.
They walked away from Montmartre Highland Square, and the French Diagon Alley Place Cachée, and came to the Muggle settlement.
Then Dumbledore led Jon to an empty alley to use the Apparition to reach the edge of a sparsely populated town, and a small wooden cabin stood in front of them.
The wooden cabin did not appear that large, but the door frame was very high, reaching all the way to the roof, which was about four meters.
They came to the door of the cabin, Dumbledore knocked periodically on the door, first two consecutive knocks, then three intermittent knocks.
Soon, the odd door was opened from the inside, and at the same time the door was opened, Jon was also shrouded by a shadow.
She was an extremely tall witch, and Jon even thought she might be a little taller than Hagrid.
The witch was wearing ordinary aqua blue robes, with a pointed hat on her head, her face looked a little haggard, and after seeing Dumbledore, her face remained alert.
Dumbledore did not utter a word, instead, he flicked his wand at himself and Jon, and the next moment they regained their original appearance.
"Long time no see, Madame Maxime."
"Oh! Albus, you're finally here!"
The witch who was called Madame Maxime instantly revealed a surprised expression on her face, she bent down and hugged Dumbledore, and then brought the two of them into her cabin.
Then Dumbledore introduced him to her.
"This is my student - Jon Green, I brought him along to see how things are going over here in France."
" Hello, Madam." Jon addressed politely.
At the first sight of this witch, he recognized her identity.
There is only one witch with such a figure in the original story, and that is the Headmistress of Beauxbatons Academy of Magic who appeared in the Triwizard Tournament - Olympe Maxime, a witch with a giant bloodline.
