Marvel Magic Case Files

Chapter 1483 Multi-Front Operations (Part 2)

The three wars in the material world—the Lunar War, the Asgardian War, and the Greek War—all required Victor von Doom to prepare in multiple aspects, including politics, economics, culture, and military, creating a well-supplied logistical system to fight against the enemy. While drafting the plans, he would even jokingly claim that his extreme military might, to some extent, be a means of reducing logistical burdens. If he could appear on a battlefield, it meant that the battle would be won quickly, and the consumption of supplies such as fuel, ammunition, medical supplies, food, and repair parts would be greatly reduced—even when Milia brought her training sword to his head, Victor von Doom continued to try to reduce and balance the budgets of the three material universe wars, minimizing war costs and maximizing short-term gains; otherwise, the Lunar Expedition and the Asgardian Expedition would not receive any support beyond the stated agenda.

As for the Greek War, Victor von Dum's idea was to have the emperor ride Pegasus around the major cities of Greece, using supernatural fire from His soul to keep the Greeks awake at night. After several days, the Greeks might suffer nervous breakdowns and surrender.

"I don't recall having a position like 'jadoner' in your job description."

Milia grinned at Victor von Doom, brandishing her sword. The illusory projection of her soul ignored the invitation, instead extending a finger to transform the wooden sword into a pale blue sponge. Milia seemed unfazed, even delighted that her heavy weapon had become so beautiful and light. Without hesitation, she turned, clumsily spinning a few times before slamming the sponge sword onto Salomon's knee. Clearly, she wasn't quite adept at the half-turn sword swing; had Salomon not bent down and reached out to catch her, the dizzy Milia from spinning would likely have fallen to the ground, her cries attracting the witch's attention and completely interrupting their secret conversation.

Her actions brought a slight smile to Viktor von Dum's face.

Beneath its exquisite and luxurious facade, the manor was in some ways rife with carelessness and absurdity, entirely a result of the owner's peculiar way of thinking. Not only was his approach to Milia's education completely beyond anyone else's comprehension, but from the study window, the Crawford family's old butler, Winston, sat in his wheelchair admiring the winter roses, while Laura Crawford, the matriarch of the Crawford family, stood beside her wheelchair, propelled by a sufficiently large brown bear. Further away, one could vaguely see a goat standing on the roof, and a pegasus with snow-white wings leaping and bounding around the house.

"Of course I know it's impossible, but a little publicity and a miracle are better than nothing. A Greek war will definitely face obstruction from NATO; nobody wants to see us control Constantinople, approach the Suez Canal, and threaten the world's oil and gas shipping routes. If you can paralyze the Greek government in the early stages of the war, like in the Balkan unification wars, the losses in the Greek war can be minimized," Viktor von Dum said. "Do you really think I don't need to negotiate with the IMF to resolve Greece's debt problem?"

"I don't believe that the current level of training and discipline among ordinary soldiers meets my requirements."

Viktor von Doom knew He was referring to training levels and ideological education. Some of the Yugoslavian armies even harbored blood feuds, and most of their generals were commanders from that civil war. To unite these armies, they needed to be broken up and reorganized, refining veteran soldiers and recruiting young new recruits. He had even dispatched the Imperial Guard and the First Secret Regiment to train the mortals, but time was too short, and they hadn't yet formed effective combat capabilities. Although strict systems, ample training exercises, advanced weaponry, and stable supply lines could minimize casualties among these mortals, He was unwilling to deploy untrained troops in a small-scale war.

"Then you can only bring genetically modified warriors, making ordinary soldiers a second-line support force. The support troops transferred from Mars cannot become the main force of attack in any direction, and can only assume the responsibilities of a second-line force. At most, they can provide more support in the mechanical maintenance of the first-line armored artillery units and consolidate the firepower advantage in the occupied areas."

Viktor von Doom knew the Emperor's strategy was flawless; expecting a society led by a neoliberal government to unite in the face of a global crisis was an impossible task. The only solution, before the crisis arrived, was to seize as many resources as possible, shelter as many people as possible, and create as much technology as possible.

However, modern humans cannot understand the emperor's actions; he was too ahead of his time.

Without such extreme military force as a foundation, the kingdom He established would soon perish. Before the true threat materialized, both He and the Emperor struggled to maintain order while fulfilling the duties of Kamar-Taj: eliminating major threats to the continuation of humanity's order, and then, at the appropriate time, uniting all humanity fighting for its continuation, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, profession, or language. This is why the guiding ideology of the New Yugoslav Federation was named "United Truth," a new spirit of transhumanist internationalism—the simplest example being Noah's Ark. If the world were to be overthrown by a flood, only those chosen by the god of power and money would be qualified to board. The Emperor's idea was to take everyone, because everyone is equal, but everyone must dedicate everything to the continuation of Noah's Ark, the continuation of humanity's order.

"Without you leading the majority of the genetically modified warriors, can we still replicate the tactics from the previous campaigns that were worthy of being included in military textbooks? If not, then it's best to disrupt the Greeks' dreams. Keep them on edge and on edge, increase the administrative and communication costs for the Greek government, and prepare for military action. Our assassins can handle the rest; no key figure will be able to escape Greece. The prerequisite is that after the Lunar War and the Asgardian War, you still have enough veteran genetically modified warriors at your disposal."

He remained silent for a long time, instead reflecting on and reviewing the accuracy of the early stages of all the wars. The endless staff meetings nearly drained the energy of everyone present. They had to sift through vast amounts of satellite reconnaissance data and hydrological information to devise suitable attack and supply routes, and produce several mature and reliable plans for the Emperor and Regent to choose from. Unlike other officials who could only choose from suggestions from their subordinates, the Emperor and Regent would supplement and modify the plans they received, making them more suitable for resource mobilization, soldier training, and other factors.

These plans would be fed back to the staff for verification, and then presented to the emperor and regent again, repeating this process several times until the staff officers, before dying from overwork, could barely produce a complete set of contingency plans to deal with various situations. He was recalling those plans and considering what could be added to the hard drives that stored combat information, enough to fill an entire warehouse.

"I can only allocate one air carrier for the Greek war, Victor," He said. "This is a resource drawn from the lunar war."

"That's enough." The Regent glanced at the quiet Milia in His arms. "This girl... are you sure she can offer any help?"

"Yes, she's just as useful as her aunt Anna. I have to kill Marduk; it's my fault that that thing even exists."
