118 – Awakening the Sea God (2)
# Awakening the Sea God (2)
The headquarters of the landing force had a proper organizational system day by day.
Leading the commander, Lieutenant General Sonny Zeppelin, in fact, those who were second in ability in the Ukrnian army, the saddest ones belonged to the General Staff.
In an instant, the General Staff was equipped with the strength of the Avengers.
Among them was ‘Lieutenant Colonel Lannister Cale’ who was assigned as an intelligence officer.
“What did I say? Didn’t you say you’d see me one more time soon?”
Because he and I had teamed up once in the case of stealing the Pearl of Omens and leaking military secrets, I was more than happy to see you.
“I didn’t expect to see you like this.”
“Me too.”
“Ha ha ha!”
As the Lannisters and I burst into laughter, the busy people in the garrison look at us with strange eyes.
“While I couldn’t see you, you were promoted to the 1st class. Landing Force Headquarters intelligence chief, you have added an amazing career.”
“Would you like Lieutenant Colonel Enoch? In the twinkling of an eye, he jumped three steps up the ranks. I can’t come to my senses.”
After sharing our mouthfuls with each other, we went straight to the main topic.
“By the way, how is the strategy planning going?”
“It’s going smoothly. You must have a lot of enthusiasm. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen soldiers work so hard.”
It was a word with bones.
As one of the investigators of the National Gendarmerie, it was only possible for Lieutenant Colonel Lannister to have witnessed all the oblivion of the Ukrnian army, which was close to despair.
“Besides, Colonel Josef Lewandowski must be very talented. I heard that you vomited blood yesterday because you were so engrossed.”
“Ah…… It’s been a long time since I’ve heard.”
Chief of Staff Joseph pouring blood was a common sight in the early days when the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion was established.
Of course, after it stabilized to a certain extent, the frequency of such incidents decreased noticeably.
It was not difficult to infer how much the staff of the Landing Forces Headquarters was being torn apart if the nobleman, who had not been able to get away with his simple duties, was about to spill blood again.
“However, apart from strategy planning, information is overwhelmingly lacking. Because it is impossible to know the current strength of the Azov Islands from prisoners alone.”
“Because most of them are soldiers…… It can’t be helped.”
In addition, there was no proper counterintelligence agency in Ukraine.
Soviet Empire’s intelligence general bureau was not set up separately, but the efficiency and accuracy of information collection was low as the National Gendarmerie was used as a kind of counterintelligence agency.
“That’s why I’m thinking of bringing in Noor Egener from Portmork.”
Is there really only one way?
At least two senior Azov National Liberation Front commanders remain in Portmork today.
If we can lure them out somehow, we will be able to use them as very important information assets in establishing the Azov vacuum operation in the future.
“Do you have any extraordinary ideas?”
“…… ? Are you asking me that now?”
My head went blank at the sudden fastball that came in.
Aren’t you the one who should come up with extraordinary ideas!?
I was staring blankly at Lieutenant Colonel Lannister as he smiled and continued his words.
“What is the point of talking with the chief of staff of the operation, Joseph, as well as the people in the operation department? Go see Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Levandel.”
These people.
Who do you know as an encyclopedia that pops up military ideas if you click on it right now?
Unfortunately, there was one.
“Colonel Lannister.”
“Yes.”
“Have you ever heard of a leaflet?”
***
The name that all Korean men who have served in the frontlines will know, Bira.
Originally, it was a kind of warning notice used to minimize civilian damage and reduce the morale of the enemy by distributing a large amount of paper in the area where bombing or shelling would take place.
Now it felt much closer to the propaganda media against North Korea than a warning message.

Well, neither is wrong.
In the end, the power of the medium of leaflets lies in the fact that it provides information ‘forcibly’ to enemies whose information is blocked.
No matter how hard commanders try to control information, there is no way they can control every single soldier if they keep dropping leaflets.
Besides, above all.
It is clear that Nour Egenere himself will be greatly shaken.
Portmork is completely blockaded. Now is not the era where communication can be divided through radio waves in units of several tens of kilometers.
It is not only the soldiers who have been blocked from information, but also the high-ranking commanders who command them.
Since 10 days have already passed since Portmork was completely sealed off.
There was a high probability that distrust and cracks in the mainland were occurring even within the command.
In the meantime, the ‘Azov Islands abandoned you and agreed to peace negotiations. If you surrender meekly, I will guarantee you the same amount of treatment.’ What would happen if you spread leaflets in the air?
In the first place, the right to control and the right to air has already been captured.
Even if we spread thousands of leaflets, there was nothing the Azov guys in Portmork could do.
Well, how should I do anti-aircraft fire with a steel wire musket?
Even with modern automatic rifles like the K2, anti-aircraft fire is difficult.
“But why are you going to the capital?”
“There is a friend who is suitable for this job. We have to bring 57mm grapes developed by the Technology Research Department.”
I answered Roxanna, who is operating Diabola No. 2 Ship Josef on the bridge. She had two diamonds gleaming over her shoulder.
Shortly after the landing force headquarters was formed, Diabola was all carrying out their own missions.
The third ship and the only fire support ship, Enoch, circled the vicinity of Portmork and fired real-time bombardment at the Azovs creeping out.
The remaining ships No. 1 And No. 2 Were in charge of transporting troops or supplies in this way.
Even though the organization was organized by the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Combat Team, the actual owner was Sonny Zeppelin.
And there’s a good new weapon, so what’s the point of teasing it?
Increasing the number of skilled pilots in this way will contribute to the development of the Ukrnian Air Corps in the future.
“By the way, who is that friend?”
“Ah, this is the person I met at Count Petrinand’s Fair last time. Have you heard of the Wilson Times?”
“Ah…… I know what it is.”
“I think there is only that press in all of Ukraine capable of mass-producing leaflets to be dropped from the air.”
It was a simple story.
Right now, the military industry is in a hurry, so there is no way the Ukrnian military has equipment that can mass print newspapers or paper.
The true value of a leaflet lies in ‘showing off’ as if it possesses overwhelming industrial power.
Paper is a high-quality resource. Just scattering such resources in large quantities can put psychological pressure on the Azovs.
When I first came up with the idea of a leaflet, high-ranking people who did not yet know the power of this propaganda medium suggested home crafts.
I relentlessly refused.
If you hand-pick and write stationery on paper, it will look like you have excellent industrial skills.
Thus, I was thinking of using the new press office of the Federal Republic of Ameria, ‘Wilson Times’, which was newly established in the capital, Kayef.
Furthermore, I heard that Sarah Ronald, a senior reporter I met at the fair, is now the editor-in-chief.
If you coax her well, she’ll make and distribute thousands of flyers.
By the way, this was also discussed with the Gongwang. Originally, I was thinking of loosening the regulation of media companies, but that also depends on how you say it.
As much as the situation is like this, I was thinking of giving as much condescension as possible under the pretext of deregulation.
“Oh, the captain is busy too.”
“Do you want Roxanna as a platoon commander? How many trips do you usually make per day?”
“Twice? Three times if you include education and training?”
“It’s really hard.”
I clapped her hands at her.
Actually, the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Combat Team was one of the most idle units among the current landing force headquarters personnel.
Anyway, the missions to be assigned during the operation were no different from those during the Maniopol descent.
Your mission, as always, is to drop in the rear and press the enemy back and forth.
I didn’t receive any supplements, and I trained as I always did.
Since they were usually more focused on training than any other unit, it became an ironic situation that the closer the operation approached, the more relaxed they became.
Meanwhile, Roxanna Elim and her air platoon members were operating the airship non-stop.
If it was unfair, it was an unfair situation.
“It’s okay. I’d rather have this one When I pilot the airship, my heart feels calm too.”
“…… Roxanna is a wonderful person.”
Looking at her smiling casually, I let out words of pure admiration.
Now, Roxanna Elim’s dignity as a decent air platoon commander was flowing through.
Instead of the Principality cap, don’t you wear the Garrison cap worn by front-line pilots?
The appearance of a child has suddenly become a soldier protecting the sky of Ukraine.
“hehehe…… I’m glad you said that. Oh, it looks like we’ll be arriving in the capital soon. What can I do?”
Has the time already been like this?
When I looked at the horizon across the bridge, I could see the whole view of Kayef, the capital city.
“All right. Please drop it in the sky.”
“Yes, I understand!”
It is faster and more convenient to descend directly from the air than to walk.
“We will be landing at the Kayef Armed Forces Base, so come and we will depart!”
“Okay.”
I waved Roxanne lightly at me, and she headed alone to the passenger compartment of her airship.
Deed, Deed—.
With the noise of the gearwheels meshing, the vast sky was captured in my field of vision.
I threw myself into the air without hesitation.
