Although Victor is seeing successes in reducing his father's role to that of a figurehead ruler, he must still endure Xavion's criticisms and scorn. Xavion saes Victor as little more than an updated version of historical dictator Adolf Hitler (a role that Victor was all too happy to take to heart.)
Victor's own father compares him to Hitler, which may not be completely inaccurate. Like Hitler, Victor appeared to believe in a 'survival of the fittest' mentality and that the 'Superior Race' should rule over the inferior ones (the superior race being Colonists from Side 3 and the inferior the Earthlings). He also shared Hitler's gift for oratory and manipulation, taking the reins of power from his father behind the scenes the way Hitler did with the German president of his day.
Unluckily for Victor, he also has a number of Hitler's personality flaws, such as an over-reliance on miracle weapons to turn the tide against numerically superior foes. By this logic, the assorted super weapons such as the MA-08 Orbital Laser and Apsalus Project Heavy Mechs can be seen as analogies of the V1 and V2 rocket-bombs used by the Third Reich. Like Hitler, he also greatly overestimates the capability of his forces.
