Chapter 392: Moon Landing Plan

~7 min read 1,242 words

Denmark.

In Odense, the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen, in an abandoned factory covered by mistletoe in the eyes of Muggles, several wizards helped their injured compatriots on stretchers and put them on hospital beds.

This is the Danish Wizard Hospital. A healer in a green robe looked at them in surprise. "Gentlemen, did you fight with a dragon?"

"No, it's the damn British!" A Danish Auror with a big cut on his leg shouted and cursed.

The healer frowned. "The one in front of you is also a British person, sir! Please pay attention to your words."

"Sorry, Mr. Smethwyck," Auror Captain Linstrom looked at Hippocrates Smethwyck and apologized. "We were just attacked by the British Ministry of Magic, and many team members were injured. His words just now were not referring to you."

"British Ministry of Magic?" Hippocrates nodded immediately upon hearing this. "They are just a group of robbers now. You scolded well. I am ashamed to be a British wizard with them!"

Hippocrates Smethwyck, a former healer at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

After Murphy's Jishi Wizard Hospital opened, St. Mungo's business became worse and worse, until it finally closed down two years ago. Hippocrates had to re-apply for a job, and the wizarding society was so small that there were not many hospitals. After turning around the surrounding countries, he finally found a job at this Danish wizard hospital.

For the Jishi Hospital that caused him to lose his job and its boss Murphy, Hippocrates naturally had no good impression at all.

Hippocrates treated everyone diligently, but two wizards were seriously injured and he couldn't save them. One died of a wound that was difficult to heal, and the other died of unexplained suffocation.

"This is fate," he sighed. "They were unlucky."

The Aurors were very sad and cursed the British wizards one after another. Hippocrates also roughly understood what was going on.

British wizards actually ran to Denmark to stop Danish Aurors from catching people?

Too arrogant!

That Murphy and his Ministry of Magic were indeed a group of robbers!

"Linstrom!" At this time, a plump wizard came to the hospital, followed by several worried wizards.

"I heard about everything. How is it? Is anyone injured?"

"Minister Sorensen," Linstrom lowered his head painfully. "Two Aurors died."

"Opponent?"

"We injured a few, but we don't know their casualties," the Auror captain gritted his teeth. He looked at the Minister of Magic with burning eyes. "Minister, this matter must not be let go. The British don't take us seriously at all! They seriously violated the 'International Wizard Friendship Act' and the 'Anti-War Ordinance'!"

"Don't worry, I must make that group of troublemakers pay the price!" Sorensen comforted.

"Minister, with all due respect, the British have withdrawn from the International Confederation of Wizards," the clerk behind him said with a bitter face. "Except for going to war, I'm afraid it's difficult for us to have any impact on them."

Going to war... Sorensen frowned.

There are many more British wizards than Danish ones. Even the number of Aurors is several times that of their side, plus the Watcher force they established later, and the so-called Countermeasure Bureau established by recruiting Muggle soldiers, the number of wizards the British can use for combat is fully more than ten times that of Denmark.

And their leader is the guy who defeated Dumbledore.

Sorensen didn't think the Danish Ministry of Magic had any chance of winning.

Unless...

"Minister!" Suddenly a wizard rushed in from outside. "A French wizard wants to see you."

"The actions of the British Ministry of Magic are too bullying! They actually interfere with the normal law enforcement of other countries' Ministries of Magic! Stretching their hands so long, do they think they are still the hegemon of the past? It is unbearable!"

The French wizard sitting opposite Sorensen spoke eloquently. "We can no longer let them act so recklessly! Murphy's idea of trying to conquer the wizarding world is now clear and obvious. What happened to the Danish Ministry of Magic is just a beginning. Regarding this, the French Ministry of Magic will not stand idly by."

"Minister Sorensen, if you are prepared to take action against the British, the French Ministry of Magic will be your firm ally!"

"It's not just us. Sweden, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands, many allies have already stood on our side. The British are enemies of all of Europe!"

Sorensen's face showed no expression. "What plan do you have?"

The French wizard thought for a moment and didn't hide it. "The wizard taken away by the British is called Peterson, right?"

"The British want to use him as a banner to recruit those speculators. They absolutely cannot tolerate this banner falling."

"We can catch Peterson back, and then design a trap..."

While Denmark was planning to deal with the British Ministry of Magic, Murphy was in the Soviet Union, visiting the aerospace laboratory.

"Are you saying that the center has agreed to restart the moon landing plan?" Laboratory Director Shahlin Popolov looked at Murphy with great surprise.

After the success of the American Apollo program, the N1 rocket that the Soviet Union used to benchmark the Saturn V failed repeatedly, and the Soviet Union had to admit that it could not catch up with the United States and completely stopped the moon landing plan.

Now, this great plan can finally be restarted?

"Whether it is magic metal or various magic artifacts, they all need a large amount of magic source. The primordial substance on Earth has been excavated almost completely, and the moon may be a solution to the magic problem," Murphy said.

In fact, this was one of the reasons why the aerospace laboratory applied to restart the moon landing plan.

However, the reason why Murphy wanted to land on the moon was because he had another consideration: he had to see what was on the moon and what was going on with those tens of thousands of tons of primordial substance.

In case those are really living gods, Murphy doesn't mind throwing a few Tsar Bombas over there now to let them taste it.

"Great! Thank you! This is an incomparably wise decision! Now is the best time to restart the moon landing plan!" Shahlin danced with excitement.

In order to facilitate his entry and exit from the research institute and arrange tasks, Murphy had Valery fix him a title. He is now the youngest general in the Soviet Union.

Currently, the construction of the entire national science city is nominally under his jurisdiction.

"We now have the Undetectable Extension Charm and the Shrinking Charm, which can greatly reduce the load of the rocket. Even for manned rockets, we can reduce weight through methods like the Floating Charm."

"Just this point is enough to increase the carrying capacity of our rockets by more than ten times, not to mention that there are Direction Spells that can guide the flight path to a certain extent, there are Deceleration Spells that can significantly increase the success rate of landing, and we have made many breakthroughs in materials, and our capabilities in computing and communication have been improved by a huge amount."

"Landing on the moon now is much less difficult than it was forty years ago!"

"Even, if everything goes well, we can also bring back some primordial substance through the return capsule."
