202 – Stormy Eastern Front (3)
Around the time when I served as the head of the War Planning Department.
The officers of the War Ministry unanimously agreed that the Soviet Empire would wage war through Lunetsk.
However, opinions were divided as to whether it would be possible to conclude with a strengthening even after that.
“Never finish.”
I was convinced that the Empire of Sobie would never give up.
“How are you so sure?”
“This is a matter of life and death for the empire. I was robbed by a country that was close to a vassal state in the past, would that arrogant emperor just watch it?”
The current emperor of the Soviet Empire is Constantine Pyotr.
He was an undisputed warmongering leader, possessing military traits that greatly increased mobilization and warfare rates.
Under Emperor Constantine Peter, the Empire of Consumption will not stop until the Imperial Family collapses or its goal is achieved.
After stabilizing the military in some way, whether it be a grand purge or whatever, it is certain that the Special Operations Forces will lead an overwhelming force and invade again to the point of seeming ‘something like that’.
And now that Lunetsk is secured.
The Uk ranian military had to undergo another major reorganization.
Currently, they are only concluding an attack in the direction of Lunetsk, but in the future, there is a good chance that they will invade through the Inland Sea in conjunction with the Kingdom of Adaliya or the Reinhardt Empire.
Through Maniopol and Portmork, as Azov did.
In addition, access as ‘Livitsk’ connected not only to the inland sea but also to the northeastern part of Uk ran can be expected.
As Soviet’s North Sea Fleet is stationed there, it would be perfect for an amphibious warfare.
Therefore, nationwide conscription was implemented, and the current military force of about 300,000 was increased to a maximum of 800,000.
Brigade-level echelons are upgraded to division-level, and the corps, which used to include three divisions, are composed of at least five divisions.
Therefore, all-out war─.
At the beginning of the main stage of Hearts of General, the goal of the Ministry of War was to form at least 50 divisions and 30 brigades.
“But isn’t it unreasonable to launch an offensive against the Empire with just that amount of troops?”
“Of course it is impossible. In the first place, attack is several times more difficult than defense.”
I nodded as if it were natural, and the officers of the War Ministry made faces that didn’t understand why.
“We will never pre-empt the consumption empire.”
“Yes?”
“His Majesty the King thinks the same way.”
The direction Uk ran should aim for is complete independence, not absorption and occupation by the Soviet empire.
Do not cross the border no matter what.
While going through the ranks of promotions, I never forgot the vivid memories that were still in front of my eyes.
A message came to my mind at the very moment I was pulled into the world of Hearts of General.
[I wish you good luck.]
What is the goal of the game and exactly what victory conditions must be achieved to return?
Since there was no such content at all, I was simply thinking of “Winning the war” As the condition for returning.
However, a war is not a trivial event in which two people simply fight each other and the one who is exhausted first loses.
In the first place, there are numerous victory conditions in the game, besides making all countries devastated by the wizard’s magic or turning them into a land of death by developing nuclear weapons.
For example, in the case of the Free Democratic Republic of Fru, you win the game when you win an all-out war against the Adaliya Kingdom or the Reinhardt Empire, which are set as your main rivals.
The Republic of America can achieve an ‘Economic Victory’ by achieving a certain level of war bonds and ending the war on either side.
In the case of the Kingdom of Adalya, even if you do not accept the surrender in the Free Alliance, you can achieve victory through the event called ‘Resurrection of the Old Rome Empire’.
Each country has a unique victory condition that follows the history and characteristics of the country that became the motif.
Then, what kind of achievements can Uk ranians achieve in their unique victory?
I think the condition is to be the leader of the Third World and to maintain all territories.
Ukrain is always the role of a shrimp back bursting between the free association and the imperial alliance.
For them, Uk ran was a resource-rich front yard that could change the game just by occupying it.
The military power is weak, but it has abundant resources, food, and vast plains.
When focusing on local conscription, the number of manpower that can be mobilized even though it is only a principality is greater than that of all three countries combined.
Which player is going to play the game without leaving this egg yolk land alone?
But let’s think in reverse.
What if Uk ran grows to such an extent that neither side dares to surpass it?
What if the Republic of Polania, which remains a neutral country forever, could claim itself as a Third World and become a buffer between the two powers?
It was clear that Uk ranian sovereignty would never be shaken.
Because the one who turns Uk ran and Polania into enemies first will walk the path of destruction.
I ran only for that task.
Let’s advance towards the capital of the Soviet Empire?
Sounds unpredictable!
No matter how advanced the Uk ranian military might be, it is not enough to devour the vast territory of the empire.
I think we can do well in the beginning.
However, supply lines are gradually getting longer, soldiers’ fatigue is increasing, and the capital necessary for warfare is starting to run out.
In the meantime, organize your battle lines and crush the imperial army that is fighting to the death.
‘Absolutely impossible.’
Thus, the main purpose of this war is to not give up even one millimeter of territory.
Lunetsk secured.
Now that the first goal has been achieved, it is time to achieve the second goal, crushing the offensive capability of the Soviet Empire.
That would be much more tricky and difficult than the first goal. Many people will die fighting for their country.
Just like an earthquake or tsunami, the main earthquake is more powerful than the previous earthquake.
Sure.
“Major General Enoch, the Free Democratic Republic of Prü has requested the provision of combat data from the 3rd Tank Battalion in exchange for helping mass-produce the Dussaeng medium tank.”
“The United Kingdom of Britain is also seeking cooperation for the next-generation cavalry tank project… ….”
“Adalya, why do these bastards curse at us in front of us and send us secret letters like this?”
“They must be a bit scared as well, afraid we might end up on the Prue side.”
During this moment of peace.
We needed to bewitch as many countries as possible.
***
The Lunetsk Campaign, which ended on March 17, and furthermore, Uk ran faced a short period of lull.
In other words, stalemate.
Soviet Imperial forces were still deployed on the eastern and northern borders, but provocations were carried out to the extent of firing at fortresses in the nearby borders, including Lunetsk.
Uk ran rotated the 4th and 5th corps of the Eastern Military District, which were the main players in this battle, into the 1st and 2nd corps, respectively.
In addition, a joint funeral ceremony for the dead was also held. It was natural.
A flag was raised in the capital city of Caef, and King Orlando I comforted about 1,000 souls who were sacrificed for the country in less than a month.
Among them, there were those who wept and those who silently wiped away tears.
Most of them were just watching the myriad coffins marching down the street with their hands on their chests.
And at the end of the funeral ceremony.
“They fought bravely, and they defended! The results are unfolding right in front of your eyes! The vicious invaders fled as if they were fleeing to their homes, and we were still able to see off the last of our warriors here!!”
“But the war is not over yet! They just disappeared to take a breather, and they are looking for a chance to bite our necks.”
“Citizens of the brave and great Uk ran, friends, lovers, parents and sons of all praised warriors! Stand up for your country in peril! Even if your bodies burn and crumble, your devotion will be rewarded!!”
Newly promoted Major General Enoch Levandel vomited out his voice in front of the lectern.
It was a speech that was more than enough to inspire the citizens who witnessed the solemn and majestic end of the heroes with their own eyes.
On that day, the Uk ranian Personnel Command received 30,000 applicants for enlistment.
It wasn’t just the Uk ranian army that was struck by the aftermath of the Battle of Lunetsk.
No matter how much he is a war hero, Enoch Levandel, who is only a minor field commander, is approached by prominent figures from other countries.
In the meantime, whether it’s an official line, an informal line, or a darker line than that.
The number of letters and proposals flying towards the Uk ranian royal family was beyond imagination.
Without the support of the Free Association, Uk ran proudly drove the Empire from its territory.
Its overwhelming presence extends from those who had previously had a cooperative relationship with Uk ran to those who watched with arms crossed.

Because it is clearly imprinted in the minds of people all over the world.
“Mr. Foreign Minister, can I go to my house?”
“Are you crazy? It seems that such words come out even when looking at the castle tower of paper piled on the desk.”
“His Excellency Orlando I has granted unlimited coffee to the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Talks. Economic cooperation. Military cooperation.
Transfer of technology. Trade agreement.
And even a non-aggression pact.
It has gained a clear upper hand in the relationship between the state, companies and people, which until a few years ago unilaterally suppressed requests for help or even ridiculed them.
“For now, all these ungrateful bastards can be fired.”
“Yup!!”
The revenge play was really sweet, but the hellish diplomatic work sucked the life out of the staff, like a succubus.
In those few days, the foreign minister lost the last bit of his self-respect from his combed hair.
But.
It wasn’t long before a major incident broke out that I couldn’t even think of other countries.
“…… Polania, the Republic of Polania forces are crossing the border and advancing toward the Soviet Empire!!”
“What!?”
A completely unexpected frontline was opened.
