== Planned outcome ==
The intended outcome was the creation of a Tanoa-aligned European bloc controlled through puppet governments, SS security structures, demographic administration, and economic dependency. Spain would serve as the western command corridor, Portugal as the Atlantic support corridor, and Romania as the eastern command corridor.

France and Italy were intended to fall under western pressure from Spain. The Balkans were intended to fall under Romanian expansion. Central Europe would then be pressured from both directions. Tanoa expected that some states would surrender or accept emergency arrangements without major combat because their political systems would already be weakened.

The operation would have increased Tanoa control over European ports, industry, food systems, prison populations, security ministries, migration routes, and financial channels. It also would have allowed the regime to move from covert influence to formalized puppet rule.
