203 – Stormy Eastern Front (4)
Election season is approaching. Even in the normally peaceful Republic of Polania, when the elections begin, the whole country begins to stir.
Just a few weeks ago, the Republican Party under current President Jozef Faust was in a state of complete triumph after helping the Uk ranians defeat the Empire of Soviet.
Those weak Democrats who insisted that ‘military cooperation with Uk ran risks stimulating the empire for consumption!’
The Real Soviet Empire has gone dumb as it has declared war across the borders of the Kingdom of Uk ran.
In response to the protests of the people, who were already at the peak of anti-Soviet sentiment, all high-ranking members, including the party representative, even tendered their resignations.
De facto moribund.
Besides, the Polanian army was not defeated either.
The Uk ranian Expeditionary Cavalry Army led by Lieutenant General Vienne Sigorsky successfully defeated the Imperial Army of Soviet.
The head-to-head confrontation with the 193rd Cavalry Brigade of the Soviet Empire in the final battle on the southeastern front of Lunetsk resulted in a crushing victory for the Republic of Polania.
About 230 dead and about 310 injured.
With that sacrifice, he vomited the spirit of wiping out the enemy cavalry brigade, which numbered 3,000.
In the early days of the war, citizens of the Republic, who had come across the Uk ranian knights desperately fighting for defense, were enthusiastic about the Polania Army’s performance.
“It was all a victory based on the insight of President Jusef Faust! The Republicans are always for Polania, and they don’t hesitate to make bold choices!”
Like rowing when the tide rises, the Republican Party publicized their victory extensively, and the Democratic Party, which was already in a deep defeat, declared complete surrender.
They, too, will have no choice but to cooperate with the Republican Party in order to regain the support of the people they lost.
No Congress, no people, no military.
Everyone supported his choice and gave him envious glances.
President Joseph Faust, who had been unable to sleep at night due to the pressure of the next election, was overcome with the feeling that his road ahead had been opened.
At this rate, in addition to the first two-term president, a third-term president has also been removed.
But.
That’s why I wanted to make it even more certain.
“When you think about it, generals, honestly, how much is our military skill?”
March 19th.
Two days after the end of the Lunetsk Front.
President Joseph Faust asked at a gathering of the highest-ranking commanders in charge of the Polania army.
“…… What is your intention?”
“I mean, objectively, what the odds are.”
At that single word, Captain Edvard Fiscor let out a drool.
He was the Commander-in-Chief of the Field Army of the Republic of Polania, and the most senior among the soldiers gathered here.
“Your Excellency, are you thinking about war?”
“The war has already begun. From the moment we helped the Uk ranians wipe out the Imperial Army in Sobie.”
“However, it was a war waged on Uk ranian soil at the request of the Uk ranians.”
It was true.
Although the Republic of Polania forces suddenly intervened in the war with Uk ran, the international situation was rather favorable to the Republic.
If it was natural, it was a natural reason.
First, because Uk ran formally requested support from the Republic of Polania based on the contents of the mutually concluded military alliance.
Second, the troops dispatched in this way were not large-scale troops for escalating the battle, but a mobile force with two cavalry divisions.
Third, it was because he played a role as a ‘helper’ helping the Uk ranians who were being invaded unjustly.
Wilson Times, which already had a deep relationship with Enoch Levandel, and other international media outlets public opinion battles made Uk ran thoroughly covered in the underdog frame.
-Take a look at this article! This is proof that the Soviet Empire has long been coaxing the Azov National Liberation Front into a war!
-The Soviet Empire also committed heinous crimes, such as sending its own troops disguised as bandits to the borders to attack fortresses and massacre innocent citizens.
-In the civil war that broke out around the year before last, there was also a situation in which the Information Bureau of the Empire was deeply involved in Soviet. They colluded with the Strigoi, a commanding organization, and brutally tortured Uk ranian soldiers who devoted themselves to their country!
-This isn’t just a matter of the strong bullying the weak! It is a fight against the forces of evil that should not exist in the world!!!
Of course, they abducted their own citizens and citizens of other countries in the border area and turned them into mutant bioweapons.
In the Lunetsk region, villagers who did not cooperate with the Soviet Empire were driven into a church and all were divided.
It is said that they forcibly recruited the remaining civilians in Lunetsk while making a last stand, and raped, killed, and robbed them.
Even more horrific, it was not even reported.
However, that alone was enough to draw general outrage from the international community.
Adalya Kingdom and Reinhardt Empire, which are connected by the Empire Alliance with the Soviet Empire, also said, “Oh, this is a bit…….” That’s what I was asking for clarification.
In the meantime, the Polania Republic Army appeared like a hero. International public opinion had no choice but to flow in their favor.
However, President Faust’s words meant an all-out war beyond simple alliance support.
“We haven’t even declared war yet.”
Another general raised his hand and asked on behalf of the commander-in-chief, who was unable to answer the president’s question prematurely.
He was also a person belonging to the moderate faction.
“All you have to do is declare war. So do you think there is a chance or no?”
“…… Yes, yes, yes.”
“If there is, then there is. What does that mean?”
“Your Excellency, no one can be sure of victory or defeat in a war. Did you ever think that the Soviet Empire would lose against the Uk ranians?”
It was then that another general broke in.
“Heh heh…… What are you afraid of, Commander-in-Chief?”
It was Lieutenant General Chuvro Piutov who, along with Vienne Sigorsky, was leading the radical faction within the military.
“Northern Command.”
“Mr. President, our Northern Command has been waiting for this day. Since you sent Lieutenant General Sigorsky to Uk ran, wasn’t it something that was predicted anyway?”
“Lieutenant General Chubro…… ! Can’t you see I’m talking to His Excellency right now?”
“I only saw him worrying about not being able to make an easy decision.”
“Such rude…… !!”
No matter how much he was a lieutenant general, Edvard Fiskor was the highest and only general in the Polania army.
Since he ran into such a person, criticism of Lieutenant General Chubro burst out from everywhere. But his lieutenant general didn’t care and just continued his words.
“Think carefully! What is the choice for our republic! What do you really care about?”
The Northern Commander clenched his fist and waved it in the air.
“Only those who can guarantee that the Republic will not be invaded by the Soviet Empire should point the finger at me.”
“… ….”
At that one word, the tumultuous audience fell silent.
“I am the Northern Commander. That’s why I know the situation the Republic is in right now better than anyone else.”
Really funny.
Soviet Imperial Army, instead of reinforcing the Special Operations Forces deployed in the Lunetsk area, increased the number of troops in the border area bordering the Republic of Polania.
Even before the Republic of Polania decided to join the war!
For a while, the Northern Command was on high alert, which caused Republic President Joseph Faust to respond to the Uk ranian request for assistance.
“Is there any guarantee that they, who also attacked the Uk ranians, will not cross our borders and threaten our capital Prava? There is a guarantee that the hundreds of thousands of enemy troops that have now deployed on that border will not pour down!”
Ambush is deadly.
The northern part of Polania was a plain.
If the Soviet Empire embarks on an active surprise invasion, including air power, even Polania is insufficient to form a defensive line.
“Neither Reinhalt nor Adalia are struggling because they can’t stop the rampage of the Sovie Empire. The empire is running like mad like a derailed train. Think of any period in the last few hundred years of history when the empire has been pushed this far.”
The offensive towards Uk ran is frustrated. Allies began to distance themselves little by little.
To make matters worse, a disturbing movement within the military begins to stir.
The reason why the Soviet Empire seemed to be dead while the Uk ranians completely occupied Lunetsk was because their top priority was to deal with the confusion of their own troops.
“If you take care of it, what will happen after that? Does anyone think that the emperor will even bow his head and apologize to us and the Uk ranians? No words!”
At the northern commander’s angry cry, not only the president, Joseph Faust, but also Captain Edvard, the head of the moderate faction confronting him, shut up.
So far, the Soviet Empire has shown that.
That mighty empire is like an impudent royalty, who will never bow their heads even if their necks are broken.
“General Chubro, can you take responsibility for your words?”
The president’s eyes flashed.
The lieutenant general nodded confidently as he looked at the gaze that was focused on him.
“Yes, but I am not advocating swallowing up the entire empire.”
“Then…… ?”
The Northern Commander’s gaze turned to the huge map hanging on the wall of the meeting room.
He pointed with his finger to the capital of the Soviet Empire, the city of Mansk just below it.
“End here. If we can only station our troops here, we will be able to unite with the Uk ranians and achieve negotiations with the Soviet Empire.”
A series of defeats.
Scam hitting bottom.
Corruption in the command system and the anti-imperial forces that are starting to revive again inside.
In the eyes of Northern Commander Chubro, there seemed to be no chance to break the Empire’s spine as much as now.
“Your Excellency, please allow me to participate.”
Attracted by the confident words, the military of the Republic of Polania eventually embarked on a war plan.
Two weeks after March 19, when the establishment of the operation was approved.
Friday, April 1st.
“Operation Guillotine.”
“Gentlemen!! Today we cut the empire!”
130,000 Troops from the Northern Military District of the Republic of Polania set foot in the lands of the Empire.
