133 – Day After Year (2)
A typical first battle in Hearts of General.
The defensive troops hiding in the long stretched trench lines, bombardment by dropping all sorts of artillery and bombs on them, and the method of pushing infantry and cavalry to break through the defense line.
Because of the game method close to simulation, I can’t control soldiers with 1:1 control.
Players with the ability to command commensurate with their ranks set the direction of battle by modifying strategies, changing camps for platoons or companies, and equipping troops with new weapons.
To take the folk game StarCraft as an example, detailed marine control is impossible, but the player can solve the arrangement, progress, and upgrade level of a marine unit.
In that sense.
This Manfred fighter was a ‘gukbap’ fighter that had to be owned at least 100 units before a full-scale war began when playing the Reinhardt Empire.
A pair of wings spread wide like a monoplane.
Equipped with a Reinhardt Mado composite engine, it had a maximum speed of 130km/h and an effective flight time of 2 hours.
Thanks to its excellent basic defense, it was not easily shot down by anti-aircraft guns in the early days, and since its operating altitude was 3,000m in the first place, it was not possible to shoot it with moderate anti-aircraft fire.
Of course, in order to utilize 100% of the engine’s output, the only armament was a 7.52Mm Gewehr machine gun mounted on the rear gunner’s seat.
Because most of the fighters being developed in other countries do not even have proper armament, they are mere reconnaissance aircraft that must be fired with the pilot’s own rifle.
In fact, in the early days of the war, it was a fighter that could eat air supremacy day by day.
Especially, the combined bombing operation in conjunction with airships was only possible for the Reinhardt Empire at the beginning of the war.
And above all.
I don’t think it’s Reinhardt who is crazy about design, but the streamlined body was very pretty.
Even I, who is not an aeronautical geek, can’t help but yawn.
The 3rd block where improvement and development of aviation weapons are made in the Pedro Industrial Complex.
Let’s stare at the Manfred fighter jets lined up on the wide runway.
“This is the rumored Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Levandell!”
A man in Reinhalt’s military uniform approached me warmly. A facial feature that catches people’s attention simply by looking at it.
Even if I objectively evaluate him as a man, he was a fairly handsome officer.
“Nice to meet you. This is Air Lieutenant Erich von Richthofen.”
“This is Lieutenant Colonel Enoch Levandell.”
I accidentally shook hands, but…….
Lieutenant Erich von Richthofen.
It was a name that stuck in my mind as surely as its appearance.
‘Another Reinhardt hero.’
If you’ve played Haojie for a while, it’s a name you’ll never forget.
If the person I met at Count Petrinand’s fair before was Johannes von Weissenberg, the future cavalry commander.
Erich von Richthofen, now in front of me, was a very outstanding hero who was responsible for Reinhardt’s air power in the early days of the Great War.
Because he has the ridiculous merit of a 180% increase in the attack power of his squadron under his command, even with only the hero’s stats of the rank of major.
From noble mtl dot com
He is one of the characters that are always mentioned in the story of whether the production team of Hearts of General are terrible Reinhalts.
‘Well, this person in Reinhardt is the only one who can tinker with fighters before the Great War.’
Just after the great success of the collaboration between Sonny Zeppelin and Count Petrinand last time.
Ukraine and the Reinhardt Empire were in the process of building a very strong cooperative relationship, especially in the field of aviation.
Honestly, Reinhardt has no reason to refuse.
They were building a huge factory complex on the site of the dukedom and spurring the strengthening of their industrial power.
It’s actually just a foreign country, and it’s like having a new production base that they can use usefully.
“Count Petrinand…… No, I heard a lot of stories from the brigadier general. I heard it through Dr. Halberstadt.”
“Do you hear my name a lot here and there?”
“Isn’t that obvious? hahahaha! The lieutenant colonel must be quite famous in Reinhalt!”
Like Lieutenant Colonel Jan Bloch earlier, whenever I go anywhere these days, he chants like this.
I should tell Sarah Ronald to stop reporting, this won’t work.
Besides, being famous in a potential enemy country is honestly a bit like that. Even if it’s a cooperative relationship now, if things go wrong, Reinhardt will cleanly cut off Ukraine.
It is unknown whether this kind of awareness now will work in a good direction at that time or make the situation worse.
However, what do you do when you are already famous?
All I had to do was restrain myself so that I wouldn’t attract any more aggro.
“By the way, the thing standing over there… ….”
“Ah, the Manfred D.I monoplane. Have you already heard the story?”
As I turned my gaze to the fighter, the lieutenant spoke with excitement as if he had waited for that response.
“Since it is an area with many high mountains and the average temperature is lower than Reinhardt, we decided to conduct a test flight in Ukraine.”
“Is that so?”
“Is Lieutenant Colonel Enoch also participating? I haven’t heard anything about it.”
“Yes? No.”
“Ah, then you only came to observe…… ! After all, piloting requires specialized skills.”
What is it?
I think the focus of the conversation is slightly off.
I just came to take a quick look at Lieutenant Colonel Jan Bloch after hearing that a Manfred fighter was coming from Reinhardt.
When I turned to Lieutenant Colonel Yan, who was standing next to me, he shrugged as if he didn’t understand why either.
Captain Debra Bennet doesn’t seem to know anything.
“Lieutenant Erich, what are you talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Something like I was watching a test flight.”
Then Lieutenant Erich von Richthofen’s expression hardened.
“I understand that this test flight will also involve the members of the air company attached to the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion, but am I mistaken?”
“… ….”
I kept my mouth shut.
I hadn’t even heard of such a thing.
“Wait a minute, I will check right away… ….”
“Ah! Battalion commander, you are here!!”
Just when Erich was about to leave, familiar faces appeared on the other side of the runway.
Even though he is wearing a drab military uniform, his pink hair stands out clearly.
“Captain Roxanna…… ?”
Attached to the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion.
They were the only Ukrnian air squadron members.
***
The whole story was like this.
Over the past year, the frequency of going outside has increased significantly compared to being in the base.
It was not for nothing that he was called the battalion commander under his command, who was busier than the brigade commander even within the Special Response Brigade.
Of course, this was close to struggling to somehow minimize the “Civil war” That would strike Ukraine in the future.
I couldn’t just talk about this, so externally, it seemed like technology development advice or unit management training.
But that didn’t mean I didn’t actually do those things.
I came to see the Moldoke armored train a.K.A Blisskavka Unit 1, which was produced under license by Ukraine even now.
However, since such incidents are common, it seems that Lieutenant Rumia may have mistakenly left out information about this test flight.
It was written in the name of ‘confirmation of the development of Vliskavka Unit 1 and observation of the test flight’ that was previously unsaid inside the industrial complex.
It must have been a kind of ‘consideration’ for them to deal with it all at once, since it was held in a similar area.
The schedule was almost canceled because it was not delivered properly.
“Submit! I’m sending you!!!!!”
“No Rumia. Humans can make mistakes…….”
“I’m really sorry, battalion commander!! What should I do with this!!”
I couldn’t help but laugh as I listened to Lumia’s pitiful cry over the receiver.
“It’s really okay. I just hoped there wouldn’t be a schedule puncture.”
“All right, if you return to the unit…… I’ll treat you to an expensive dinner…….”
“I look forward to it.”
Let’s hang up soon.
Lieutenant Erich Richthuffen, who was watching from the rear, said with a smile.
“You seem to have a very good relationship with your adjutant.”
“Yeah, what…… There is no reason to be bad.”
“Just like Captain Roxanna, it seems that there is a reason why it is called ‘Ukrnian Hope’. People who are well-liked are always highly capable.”
“There is no need to give it too much space.”
“Ahahahaha, no. I personally have a lot of respect for him.”
It was truly regrettable.
With all the respect from the future Reinhalt aviation hero.
“So, are you starting right now?”
“Yes, the fighters are all on standby. It will be the last flight schedule before the first production.”
The two of us slowly made our way through the switchboard inside the industrial complex.
How convenient it is that major military installations have telephone lines. If you think about the time when you always had to send a telegraph or send a dispatch directly to check, it’s already dizzying.
As we came out onto the runway, there were five Manfred fighters lined up in a row. The front propeller spins vigorously.
Seeing this scene with my own eyes made me feel truly magnificent.
“But isn’t Manfred a two-seater?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
“Then why is Captain Roxanna on board alone?”
“Ah, our co-pilot, who was supposed to ride with us, suddenly got seriously ill yesterday.”
“Ah… ….”
I looked at Roxanna, who was calmly checking the instrument panel and equipment.
Even if it was a two-seater, it wouldn’t be a big problem since the front pilot was actually in charge of piloting the aircraft.
Roxanna, who was just a patient at first, was now showing her strength as a full-fledged Ukrnian airman.
Everyone was surprised when I told her that she was a psychopathic patient.
While I was examining her with her happy expression, Lieutenant Erich handed her a sudden proposal.
“By any chance, do you think the Lieutenant Colonel will try to board?”
“Yes?”
“Actually, there are no controls for the rear seats. At best, it’s about an emergency landing function, but if you’re worried about it, you can board it together and there won’t be any problem.”
I shifted my gaze from Roxanna to the fighter body.
A red streamlined fighter.
For me, who once dreamed of becoming a pilot when I was young, it was a very appealing proposal.
“… ….”
“hahahaha, the lieutenant colonel is also looking at the sky.”
Lieutenant Erich added with a grin.
“Now, I don’t have time. Come on, let’s go change into our flight suits.”
Um.
Yeah, well…….
Even if you come to observe, wouldn’t it be better to experience it yourself rather than simply watching?
Isn’t it?
