After briefly flipping through the documents, Dumbledore put them down and scoffed, "Count, such blatant attempts at driving a wedge are quite low-end indeed."
"Everyone knows that we are allies with Austria, so why should we worry about Austria's threat? Is it because of this data?"
The threat of Austria to the French government was naturally not unknown; this was not the first time Dumbledore had seen the information provided by Geoffrey Friedman.
It was only a matter of discrepancies in the data. This was the same for all nations due to political motives and personal wishes. When collecting data about rivals, it often goes through an artistic process of embellishment.
In Dumbledore's view, it was nothing more than the Prusso Federation wanting to highlight the "Austrian Threat Theory" and deliberately exaggerating Austria's strength.
