Marvel Book of Magical Events

Even the worst tools have their proper uses, this is what the emperor told Hammurabi. What's more, Countess Katarina Karkov is not bad, she is just a little greedy for power and money. Such a person is easy to control and easy to predict. The emperor knows when she is loyal, when she betrays, when she is greedy, and when she is honest and upright. She is still in the space station away from all the disputes in the Balkans. This is obviously not a place for her to show off her talents. This is entirely because she is still in the space station. Not the time. Regent Victor von Doom is creating a good working environment for her, a stage truly suitable for her art of power.

It all starts with the Yugoslav Civil War and the impact of the Vienna Declaration and Program of Action signed in 1993, including the Slovenian Ten-Day War (also known as the Slovenian War) in 1991, the Croatian War from 1991 to 1995, The Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995 and the Kosovo War from 1996 to 1999. The armed conflict in the Presevo Valley from 1999 to 2001 and the armed conflict in Macedonia in 2001.

Behind this bloody war, which killed more than 140,000 people and left millions homeless, was the chaos between armed groups instigated by careerists using populism and based on blood, race, party, and religious beliefs. war. Until the war of liberation in Latvinia began, the emperor used the genetically modified warriors and advanced armaments he had accumulated for many years to defeat all air defense equipment and government departments on the Balkan Peninsula with unrivaled marching speed and technological superiority, and defeated the former Yugoslav Federation. The armed groups in the now independent provinces were completely defeated. On top of the monument of the victory of capitalism and the ashes of communism, where the upper and middle classes signed an agreement to turn this place into a free trade zone, this country has seven borders, six republics, five nationalities, four languages, three Only then did the Yugoslav Federation once again declare its unity.

This does not mean that the various ethnic groups in the Yugoslav Federation can unite together from now on. Since the civil war, the lies of careerists and the bloody feuds committed by ignorant people have not been so easy to resolve. Regent Victor von Doom established the Yugoslav people's The Civil War Tribunal of the Yugoslav Federation is the first step in the reconciliation of all ethnic groups. It even attacked the Hague Prison in the Netherlands to show the people of the new Yugoslav Federation that they were determined to clean up the remnants of the war.

However, this is only the first step. The remnants of the civil war in the Yugoslav Federation are not so easy to clean up. During the civil war, there were many unofficial paramilitary civilian armed organizations. These organizations were responsible for doing dirty work that an official organization could not perform. Many of them were unofficial Foreign paramilitary organizations were transformed into official departments after the war. After the war of unification of Yugoslavia, these people were among the surrendered armed groups. They surrendered under the emperor's gun and sword, but they still retained their own little thoughts.

Although nominally these organizations are already members of the new Yugoslav federal armed group, Regent Victor von Doom knows that these separatist forces will never stop fighting for power. With these people around, the security environment of the new Yugoslav Federation will never get better - this is the drawback of top-down reform. If the emperor did not have a loyal army, it would be difficult to clean up all the old stakeholders. Bad bureaucrats Isms and interest groups can only be purged by bloody means - even if the emperor's army has begun to collect guns and weapons and regain law enforcement power, some people will incite the gangs with backgrounds and the comprador class who support the gangs to resist with force and let the genetically modified warriors Blood is brewing in the cities and villages, and then the civilians who do not know the truth will rebel against the emperor's rule again and become the victims of careerists again.

Regency has two options.

The most direct way is to start a bloody war again and use violent methods to eliminate these armed groups that may betray and split at any time, or place them at the forefront of eliminating the resistance to separatist groups and let the blood of these organizations heal the wounds of the civil war. Another option is to use gentle means to clear them out of the power field of the new Yugoslav Federation one by one, and then retrain and integrate those soldiers to become an army that abides by the Unified Truth and maintains the survival and development of the human race - those soldiers Young men recruited from various villages, their minds dazzled by the great national self-determination and unwarranted hatred, need a thorough and re-education until their minds filled with hatred are cleansed, and then they can be re-educated. Fill in the emperor's ideals. These are good guys, provided they point their guns in the right place.

Regent Victor von Doom informed the emperor that he was prepared to pursue both options simultaneously.

The first plan was handed over to genetically modified warriors and the First Secret Regiment when they were wiping out armed groups in the new Yugoslav Federation. No one knows whether those paramilitary organizations that participated in the civil war died in frontline firefights or from behind. attack. As for those armed groups that can be reformed, they will be completely broken up. People of different nationalities, origins and religious beliefs will train and learn together, and understand that people who are different from themselves are not the bad guys described by politicians, but are exactly the same as themselves, with flesh and blood, and have the ability to Relatives and friends, people with parents and children, they are together to fight against the enemies of mankind and protect those who are like them, not mankind itself; but this is not all, the Romanian purge eliminated at least 20,000 people entrenched in various classes. , separatists from all walks of life, another purge led by Regent Victor von Doom is coming.

The second option is being implemented and involves the retrial of various armed groups and commanders of the Yugoslav civil war by military tribunals in Yugoslavia, of which Countess Katarina Karkov is a part. No one knows the Game of Thrones and the commanders of the armed groups in the provinces of the former Yugoslav Federation better than she does. After all, she had a large business with these people when she appeared again in the new Yugoslav Federation. On the highest stage of power, both the regent and the emperor believed that she could successfully assume the role of power broker. She would offer favors and make deals on behalf of the corners of power that the emperor acquiesced to, and unobtrusively use techniques such as framing, frame-up, and sowing discord. A place of value.

Some people will regard her as the emperor's mistress, but Countess Katarina Karkov is happy to see this misunderstanding. The emperor also needs to give her invisible powers based on this misunderstanding, and at the same time use the weaknesses that this ordinary person should have to attract CIA spy. Countess Katarina Karkov would neither admit nor deny that, relying on this ambiguous attitude, she could do many things that the emperor and regent could not do on the surface. She is important enough that she is followed at all times by two reformed assassins and a pair of armed members of the Sisterhood who serve as her security personnel and secretaries. It was impossible for her to remain unsuspected forever in this kind of game, where death could happen at any time.

After finishing the call with the regent, the emperor kept standing in front of the porthole overlooking the distant earth.

Sometimes I think about walking out of the airlock door, he told the Praetorian Guards. All it takes is one hard kick and the inertia will send me through the vacuum into the gravity well, and then float towards the earth.

No one can withstand the heat of atmospheric friction, my lord, unless you enter an escape pod.

I should have given you some humor, Hammurabi.
