3rd POV
Ferdinand and Tanya were enjoying the time they had in the US, with Ferdinand, who always read a newspaper, also staying up to date with the news involving groups that followed National-Legionarism in Murica.
This would clearly leave the Unified States busy, already having to hunt down communists in the country, now they will have to deal with the Far Right creating movements and groups that follow an Ideology that clearly does not leave the Murican Democrats at all satisfied, in addition to which it could serve as an excuse to show discontent with the Imperium or have bad relations.
This of course made Ferdinand sigh wearily, knowing that the Imperium's work to ensure the Unified States stays out of their trouble list will be more difficult.
"I suggest you give up, the situation is not at all favorable for the Imperium, I think you should put aside trying to make the Imperium friends with the US or change your tactics" Tanya said seriously while drinking her coffee.
"Like what? Start supporting Legionary movements in the Unified States? You know that if this is discovered we will have a declared enemy in future wars, right?" Ferdinand asks seriously as he stops looking at the newspaper and looks at Tanya.
"Yes, but this is a bet that I suggest taking, if everything goes well, we could have an ally or someone Neutral to ensure that the US does not try to stay against us, as it will be more busy securing the power internally than wanting to participate in wars on another Continent" Tanya replies Ferdinand with an evil smile on her face as she finished the coffee she was drinking.
"Hmmm.....yes, but we need to find someone who is charismatic and has high relevance" Said Ferdinand nodding his head before picking up the newspaper again and going back to reading, deciding to focus on that later, but it was then that he stops and puts down the newspaper, looking at Tanya again.
"Tanya....do you happen to know someone named Huey Long?" Ferdinand asks as a mischievous smile appears on his face.
Huey Long, the man who was known as "The Kingfish" and "The Dictator of Louisiana", was a controversial figure, while many called him a Socialist because of his policies, the man was according to Ferdinand a great example to follow, while he was considered a Dictator in his State for basically controlling everything, even when he was not Governor, the man used these same Dictatorial powers to help the poor and the black people.
Ferdinand wondered if there was an alternative version of him in the Youjo Senki World if there was and if he was like the old Huey Long, Ferdinand would bet all his money on this man, in addition to placing agents from the Dacian Secret Service to protect him and prevent him from being murdered.
A shame he had become just a Meme to many, but Ferdinand would make sure he wouldn't just become a Meme on this Alternate Earth.
"No, but just by your look it looks like you've already found the horse you're going to bet on in the race" Tanya replies while the mischievous smile returns to her face, already knowing what Ferdinand was thinking.
"If we find an Alternative Version of him on this Earth that remains the same as the one on our old Earth, he will be our best chance of keeping the Unified States away from possible wars against the Imperium" Said Ferdinand as he put the newspaper aside.
"Hmmm, I see" Tanya nods, showing understanding.
"When we return to the Imperium, I will quickly order the Secret Service to keep an eye on the Unified States, we can't let this chance pass out" Ferdinand said as he stood up, with him stretching.
"I'm going to ask the ambassador to prepare a massage for me, do you want it for you too?" Ferdinand asks while raising an eyebrow.
"No, I don't need to, besides Ferdinand, you are very addicted to being massaged by beautiful ladies, what would your parents think when they found out?" Tanya asks seriously as she looks at him, but inside she was praying that he would fall into the trap, she wanted to make fun of him a little.
"My Mother would just be a little uncomfortable, how protective she is of me, I feel sorry for my future wife when my Father suggests a marriage with some noble woman, but why did you suddenly bring up this subject? By any chance....Are you jealous?" Ferdinand asks as a wide mischievous smile appears on his face, with his face close to Tanya's.
Tanya, upon hearing Ferdinand's question and seeing him bring his face closer to hers, she quickly moves him away with her hand, showing a face that shows complete disgust.
"I don't know if you remember, but I still consider myself a man, so I don't like the idea of being with another man, I'm not gay" Tanya says while giving Ferdinand a threatening look, showing that she wasn't kidding.
"Yeah, but you have to remember that you are in a time where you don't have many options, in fact only 2, with one of those declaring the end of your future military career and putting you in a bottomless pit" Said Ferdinand as he walked away of Tanya with his hands raised, showing surrender.
"You can be physically gay and stay with a woman, being considered a lesbian by society and as such being condemned for it OR be mentally gay and marry a man, being considered a normal woman by everyone and just suffering mentally for having to sleep with another man" Ferdinand said as the smile on his face widened.
"So tell me, Centurion Tanya Degurechaff, do you want to be mentally gay or physically gay?" The smile on Ferdinand's face was already threatening to split his face, it was so wide, while veins stood out on Tanya's forehead.
"YOU FUCKING BASTARD" Tanya screams as she prepares to take her gun, but Ferdinand has already run out of the room where they were, with him quickly closing the door and laughing nonstop.
"Hmpf" Tanya stands with her arms crossed as she turns red in the face with anger, the veins on her forehead bulging and almost threatening to burst.
'Idiot Fascist Prince, I hope you grab a gun and put a bullet in your own head like the Mustache Man!' Tanya thinks while trying to calm down, with her sighing loudly and closing her eyes.
In a Dacian Secret Laboratory.
The Head of the Scientific Department of Imperium Daciae, scientist Klara Schnitzler, a young woman with red hair, pale white skin, glasses, and a fake smile that hid the demon inside her, advanced through the base's corridors.
She was at the height of happiness since she was recruited by the former Grand Duchy of Dacia before it became the Imperium Daciae, she was already being financed to carry out her projects, as long as they had results, which they did of course and that's why she began to be valued and was even promised to receive the title of Hereditary Baroness, with several lands as long as she continued to create wonders for the Imperium, which she of course happily accepted.
She had no ethics about her work, with her only caring about the results, as such she always used Imperium prisoners to do human experiments, all for her most cunning Project, one that she will be proud of and perhaps, if she had luck, she could become a Duchess instead of a simple Baroness, not that she wasn't already happy with the title she would gain, but one thing that every human has, even if it's little, is greed and the desire to have more.
"How are the test subjects? Are they progressing well or will I have to ask the Guards to execute other test subjects without success?" Klara asks with a smile on her face as she arrives in her most important experiment room, with a team of scientists already present, both normal scientists and magical scientists.
"Everything is going well, M'Lady, the subjects are making great progress, in a little while we will be able to move on to physical tests if they manage to adapt successfully" Said one of the scientists while reading the reports that were in his hand.
"Great! Don't forget, Gentlemen, this is a Project very dear to me and important to you, if everything goes well you will receive hereditary titles and lands from the Central Government when you decide to retire, if everything goes wrong, only I will have to focus on other projects, as for you..." Klara didn't need to finish as she saw everyone there coughing or loosening their uniform ties, a little worried, with several sweating.
"Well! Since everyone understands, let's focus on the Project, our Glorious Cezar wants Perfect Soldiers, so we'll give them to him or you'll die trying!" Klara said with a happy tone as she clapped her hands to get everyone back to work.
