I, who was eager to retire, became an Imperial General.

Chapter 54 You're a genius!

After learning the extent of John's meticulous plan, no one objected to his use of Werner as an imperial spy.

John, who was feeling extremely troubled, had no desire to stay any longer; he desperately wanted some peace and quiet.

After assigning several soldiers to guard Will, he ordered Wendy to lead a group to wipe out the Allied forces stationed in the other three villages overnight.

Although he knew that doing so would only bring him unwanted military merits, he was still tempted by the thought that there were three other military units outside secretly preparing to assassinate him.

John felt that if he didn't eliminate this potential threat, he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.

However, considering the spy problem that Wendy had previously caused, he thought about it and called Wendy back before she was about to leave.

"Wendy, later you can have the team's liaison officer report to General Dormammu about developing spies."

After much deliberation, John decided that it was more appropriate to leave the matter of the contact person to Dormammu.

After all, the Empire has not yet established a Military Intelligence Bureau. All espionage and counter-espionage activities are not recognized by the Imperial Government, but are handled by the military and are considered internal military activities.

And as the commander-in-chief who personally trained the Black Hawk Special Forces, the empire's strongest assassination and reconnaissance force.

In the game's lore, Dormammu himself planted numerous spies within the Allied forces.

Although he will definitely not be the high-ranking secret agent within the Allied forces that Will imagines, but rather a character more like an unknown soldier.

But if you're just a contact person, that should be enough.

After all, John never intended to play a double agent; he used Will as a one-time tool to test Roxie.

It's highly unlikely that Dormammu actually planted a high-ranking spy within the Allied forces who also happens to work for the Empire.

As a result, after meeting with Will, he convinced Will of his fantasy and embarked on a determined path as an Imperial agent.

But that's just impossible!
“Yes, Captain, General Dormammu will be very happy to hear this news.”

Although somewhat puzzled as to why the exceptionally intelligent Warrant Officer John hadn't discussed this matter with General Dormammu beforehand, Wendy didn't dwell on it. Instead, she carefully inquired of John:

"Also, should I report the secret agents you arranged?"

Report it to the authorities? What kind of secret agent do I know?

Wendy, have you been reading too much Maslow's quotes and made yourself stupid?

John couldn't help but complain in his heart, but considering that even if he told Wendy the truth, with her outrageous imagination, it would probably make things even more complicated.

Therefore, he didn't clarify, but instead waved his hand meaningfully and said:

"No need, I have my own arrangements. Wendy, you just need to report the matter truthfully to General Dormammu."

Report this truthfully to General Dormammu.

Captain, didn't you already arrange everything in advance? Why make things so complicated?

Wendy looked puzzled, but soon seemed to have figured out the key point.

Her eyes immediately lit up, and then, seeing John's bewildered expression, she excitedly said:

"I understand, Captain, I've figured out why you did this!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the secret agent you arranged must be a good friend you met while studying at the Imperial First Military Academy!"

"But unlike you, who came to the Seventh Legion as a commander after graduation, your classmate was recruited early by General Dormammu because of his outstanding agent skills during his time at the academy. He secretly went to the Allied forces and became a mysterious agent responsible for gathering intelligence for the Empire!"

"You yourself only learned about their information after joining the Seventh Legion, and under General Dormammu's arrangement, you became their contact person for passing on intelligence, but you did not have the authority to change their mission."

"Therefore, if you want to use them, you must obtain General Dormammu's consent." "That's why you asked me to report the spy matter to General Dormammu, isn't it!"

Wendy's eyes shone brightly. At this moment, under the influence of her extraordinary wisdom and the dialectical analysis of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, she felt that she had understood everything.

Yes, this must be the truth!
Damn it, Wendy, you're a genius!
I just wanted you to report to Dormammu, but you immediately started making up a fantasy version of Infernal Affairs for me?

Seriously, if you have such a vivid imagination, why don't you write a novel? Why bother being this piece of crap magic soldier!

John's expression was priceless.

Although he had realized this scenario might occur long before he gave Wendy the instructions.

But when this scene actually appeared before him, he found it difficult to remain composed.

At that moment, John suddenly realized that he had underestimated his stupid vice-captain's ability to fill in the blanks.

Sure enough, Wendy, you bastard, you must have been sent by God to torment me!

John sighed helplessly, looking at Wendy with a complicated expression. Wendy, who had guessed the 'truth', was now looking at him with a smug little head raised, her face full of praise.

His cheeks twitched uncontrollably, but he suppressed the urge to mercilessly ravage the other person's waterlogged head, and instead spoke with a forced smile:

"Alright, alright, you're right. So, can you send our communications officer to report to General Dormammu now, Sergeant Wendy?"

"Received, guaranteed to complete the task!"

Hearing John's words, Wendy, believing that her guess was correct, immediately raised her head triumphantly, and then walked out of the tent under John's silent gaze.

"Vice Captain Wendy, are we leaving now? I can't wait to wipe out those Allied dogs and prove my loyalty to Warrant Officer John!"

Just as Wendy arrived at the area where Squad 14 was, Hawke excitedly approached her, proudly sharing his memorization of the new version of Maslow's quotes:
"Also, Vice Captain, I have memorized the new version of Maslow's quotes that you handed me. You can test me on it anytime!"

What? I haven't even had a chance to memorize it yet, and you've already memorized it?
I can't even recite it, how am I supposed to test you?

Isn't that implying that my spirit isn't pure enough?

Sure enough, Hogg, you idiot, you must be trying to steal Sergeant John's position as his number one follower!
What a bastard!
Upon hearing this devastating news, Wendy gritted her teeth in anger. Without a word, she snatched the item back from Hawke under his questioning gaze, then said to him with a forced smile:

“Very good, Sergeant Hawke. Your dedication to studying Maslow’s words is commendable. However, Warrant Officer John once told me that as true Maslowslows, we must always trust our comrades. Therefore, I think there’s no need for further testing. I believe you have already learned the true spirit of Maslow!”

"But simply learning is not enough. We also need to spread the spirit of Maslow, let more people recognize the greatness of Warrant Officer John, and spontaneously become true imperial warriors, so that the empire can become more glorious. This is what we Maslowian warriors really need to do."

"Unfortunately, I need to report the mission to General Dormammu as instructed by Warrant Officer John, and I cannot personally go to educate that foolish Allied Major Maslow about the greatness of his spirit."

"So, Hawke, do you understand what you need to do next?"

Is it not just about improving oneself, but about leading everyone to improve together?

That’s it, that’s it!

No wonder Sergeant Wendy was able to become Warrant Officer John's number one follower; her selflessness and dedication are truly admirable!
Indeed, I really need to learn a lot from the vice-captain!

For example, promote the great Maslow spirit to the agent who has just voluntarily joined the empire, so that he can realize the greatness of the empire and be proud to become a true Maslowist fighter!
Only in this way can I be worthy of being a follower of Warrant Officer John!

"I get it, Vice Captain, I know what to do next!"

Having understood the 'new task' assigned to him by the vice-captain, Hawke immediately answered Wendy with a serious expression.
