Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 388 The Moon Landing Plan

Denmark.

In Odense, Hans Christian Andersen's hometown, in an abandoned factory covered in mistletoe in the eyes of Muggles, several wizards helped their injured compatriots on a stretcher to a hospital bed.

This is the Danish Wizarding Hospital. A healer in a green robe looks at them in surprise. "Gentlemen, were you fighting a fire dragon?"

"No, it's those damned Englishmen!" shouted a Danish Auror with a large gash in his leg.

The therapist frowned. "The person in front of you is also English, sir! Watch your words."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Smysik," Auror Captain Lunstrom said, looking at Hibbercrat Smysik. "We were just attacked by the British Ministry of Magic, and many of our members were injured. He wasn't referring to you."

"The British Ministry of Magic?" Hippocrates nodded immediately upon hearing this. "They're nothing but a bunch of robbers now. You're right, I'm ashamed to be a British wizard like them!"

Hiberkrat Smesik, a former healer at St. Mungo's Wizarding Hospital.

After Murphy's Salvation Hospital opened, St. Mungo's business declined and declined until it finally closed down two years ago. Hibbercrat had to look for a job again. Since the wizarding society was so small, there were naturally not many hospitals. After traveling around the surrounding countries, he finally found a job at this Danish wizarding hospital.

Hibbclath naturally had no good impression of the hospital that caused him to lose his job, or its owner, Murphy.

Hibercrat diligently treated everyone, but two wizards were too badly injured to be saved. One died from a wound that was difficult to heal, and the other died from suffocation of unknown cause.

"It's all fate," he sighed. "They were just unlucky."

The Aurors were heartbroken and cursed the English wizard. Hippocrates roughly understood what had happened.

British wizards actually went to Denmark to stop the Danish Aurors from arresting people?

Too embarrassing!

Murphy and his Ministry of Magic are indeed a bunch of robbers!

"Lenstrom!" At that moment, a chubby wizard arrived at the hospital, followed by several worried wizards.

"I've heard about what happened. How is it? Is anyone injured?"

"Minister Sorenson," Lenstrom said, bowing his head in sorrow, "two Aurors have died."

"Where is the opponent?"

"We've wounded several, but we don't know their casualty figures." The Auror captain gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed intently on the Minister of Magic. "Minister, this cannot be left like this! The British have absolutely no respect for us! They've seriously violated the International Wizarding Friendship Act and the Anti-War Regulations!"

"Don't worry, I will make those troublemakers pay the price!" Sorenson reassured him.

"Minister, if I may be so bold, the British have withdrawn from the International Wizarding Association," the clerk behind him said with a bitter face. "Aside from starting a war, we probably won't be able to have much influence on them."

"War begins..." Sorensen frowned.

The British had far more wizards than the Danes, and the number of Aurors alone was several times that of the British. In addition, they later established the Watchmen and the Countermeasures Bureau, which supposedly recruited Muggle soldiers. The number of wizards the British could use in battle was more than ten times that of the Danes.

Moreover, their leader is the same guy who defeated Dumbledore.

Sorensen did not believe the Danish Ministry of Magic had any chance of winning.

unless……

"Minister!" Suddenly, a wizard burst in from outside. "A French wizard wishes to see you."

……

"The actions of the British Ministry of Magic are utterly outrageous! They're actually interfering with the normal law enforcement practices of another country's Ministry of Magic! They're overstepping their bounds—do they still consider themselves the hegemon they once were?! This is intolerable!"

The French wizard sitting opposite Sorenson spoke eloquently, "We can no longer let them run rampant like this! Murphy's ambition to conquer the wizarding world is now clear, and what happened to the Danish Ministry of Magic is just the beginning. The French Ministry of Magic will not stand idly by."

"Minister Sorenson, if you intend to take action against the British, the French Ministry of Magic will be your staunch ally!"

"It's not just us; Sweden, Norway, Italy, the Netherlands—many allies have already stood by our side. The British are making an enemy of all of Europe!"

Sorenson's face remained expressionless. "What are your plans?"

The French wizard thought for a moment, then made no attempt to hide anything, "The wizard who was taken away by the British, wasn't his name Peterson?"

"The British wanted to use him as a flag to attract speculators. They could not tolerate this flag falling."

"We can bring Peterson back and then set a trap..."

……

While Denmark was plotting a major attack on the British Ministry of Magic, Murphy was in the Soviet Union, visiting an aerospace laboratory.

"You mean, the Central Committee has agreed to restart the lunar landing program?" Laboratory director Shakhrin Popolov looked at Murphy with great surprise.

After the United States' Apollo program succeeded, the Soviet Union's N1 rocket, which was comparable to the Saturn V, repeatedly failed to launch. The Soviet Union had to admit that it could no longer catch up with the United States and completely stopped its lunar landing program.

Now, can this great plan finally be restarted?

"Whether it's magic metal or various magical creations, they all require a large amount of magic power. The original substances on Earth have been almost completely exhausted, and the Moon may be a solution to the magic power problem," Murphy said.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why the aerospace laboratory applied to restart the lunar landing program.

However, Murphy had another reason for wanting to go to the moon: he needed to see what was on the moon and what those tens of thousands of tons of primordial matter were all about.

If it really is a living god, Murphy wouldn't mind throwing a few Tsar Bombs over right now to let them have a taste.

"Great! Thank you! This is an incredibly wise decision! Now is the perfect time to restart the moon landing program!" Shahlin exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.

To make it easier for Murphy to enter and leave the research institute and to arrange tasks, he had Valery give him a title, and he is now the youngest general in the Soviet Union.

Currently, the construction of the entire National Science and Technology City is nominally under his jurisdiction.

"Now that we have the Unseen Stretch Charm and the Shrink Charm, we can greatly reduce the load on rockets. Even manned rockets can be reduced in weight through methods such as the Levitation Charm."

"This alone is enough to increase the carrying capacity of our rockets by more than ten times. Not to mention that there are navigation spells that can guide the course to a certain extent, and deceleration spells that can greatly increase the success rate of landing. Moreover, we have made many breakthroughs in materials, and our computing and communication capabilities have been greatly improved."

"Going to the moon now is much easier than it was forty years ago!"

"Furthermore, if all goes well, we may even be able to bring back some of the original material via the return capsule."
