210 – Chariot, Chariot, Mage, Chariot (3)
Actually, I’m a 2-star general right now, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been offered a 3-star general.
Because none other than King Orlando I and General Franco Douglas, the current Chief of the General Staff of Uk ran, actively urged it.
As much as Captain Franco Douglas actively resisted the coup forces during the last coup, along with Captain Anton Bialicina, the chief of artillery.
In place of former general Ernst Pell, who was discharged, he became the chief of the Uk ranian army.
As soon as he became Chief of the General Staff, he actively remodeled the Uk ranian army and was a great help in improving the constitution internally so that I could refine old doctrines and develop new weapons.
Maybe that’s why his trust in me was excessively high, comparable to that of Orlando the First.
In addition to the promotion to lieutenant general, I would have said everything if I said that I would give up the position of commander of the 4th corps (former Eastern Corps).
In fact, it is never easy to rise to the rank of captain in the Uk ranian military.
There was almost even a lieutenant general position, which was the 3rd growth army, and the general positions were the chief of the general staff, the infantry commander, the artillery chief, and the commanders of each military district.
In the midst of that, am I taking the position of lieutenant general? No matter how big my major was, it was too much for me, who is only in my mid-twenties.
Unless you lead the war against the Soviet Empire to a complete victory.
And there was another reason why I turned down the lieutenant general position.
If the Soviet Empire was still targeting the Uk ran, it might have been offered after much thought.
It is impossible to counter the attack of the empire that will come back even stronger with only divisions.
You have to be at least a corps level, so you can mobilize at least dozens of divisions to somehow fight against the empire that will come in.
However, due to the pre-emptive strike of the Republic of Polania, the front line was moved from the Uk ranian-Soviet border to Polania.
As Reinhardt also expressed his will to attack Polania, it was clear that the main battlefield would be Polania, not Uk ran.
In the meantime, if we rashly deploy corps-level forces to Polania, it might provoke Reinhardt.
The mission of the 87th Rapid Response Division, which I was entrusted with, was like a firefighter who was urgently put into the front line and stabilized when the second offensive of the Soviet Empire began.
Befitting the name of rapid response, this unit was designed to be deployed anywhere in case of emergency.
As I expected, it was also the first division to be sent in the moment the offensive of Polania collapsed and the frontline was pulled back.
So I couldn’t give up.
Five years ago, in order to succeed in the plan I had been thinking about ever since I fell into this world, the 87th Rapid Response Division needed to move with my limbs.
As well as the division commander, from the corps commander onwards, one must have the perspective of seeing not only the forest, but also the huge forest area.
The battle field he is in charge of is incomparably wider than that of Satan, and the weight of his life depending on that gesture multiplied by the square.
Since commanding ability is not something that can be easily quantified, it was also true that it was burdensome to be honest from the corps commander onwards.
Anyway, even just being promoted to major general is a huge step forward.
There is no reason to sip your appetite for the lieutenant general position right now as you continue to put all your energy into the 87th Rapid Response Division.
It was only a first-class special promotion.
Now was the time to think about how to reinforce the division more powerfully, rather than clinging to one’s seat.
The most important thing is, of course, human resources.
As the whole of Uk ran went into war, the conscription order fell, but there was still a shortage of manpower.
In addition, my division is an urgent force to be deployed to the relief of Polania.
In the worst case, it was possible to deal with both the Soviet Empire and Reinhalt’s troops at the same time, so they needed high-quality personnel, not goofballs.
In a way, it’s a more important element than a tank or a personal weapon.
Number of wars in history have already proven that good equipment is not just a warrior.
Soviet Union in the Winter War.
Arab Coalition in the Middle East War.
There are many wars in human history that have been ruined by the weakness of the command system even after achieving overwhelming equipment and quality improvement.
So, instead of giving up a little bit of our division’s equipment.
“I sincerely thank you for your cooperation in personnel management.”
“…… Please give me some of the equipment you promised, Commander Enoch.”
We were able to pull out the officers and noncommissioned officers who were evaluated as Tier 1 to Tier 2 talents from each division.
As a result of repeating the process of redeploying personnel based on their specialties and personal information written by the training center or related unit, and rapidly distributing rank insignia for positions.
The 87th Rapid Response Division became the most quickly completed unit in the Uk ranian Army.
“With this, the formation of the subordinate brigade is complete. If supply demand and personal equipment are provided quickly, I think we can deploy right away?”
Nikolai Hilbert, the chief of staff, exhaled a thick puff of cigarette smoke.
“Of course not. How many times have I been hit by picking out those elites……. It would have been absolutely impossible without the War Hero Premium.”
Considering that, I did get some swearing.
Since I brought it back to comfort the twisted body that everyone didn’t want to give it to me, the main responsibility on my shoulders has also become heavy.
I brought them all, but if they were robbed, it was obvious that the brilliant records they had built up until now would collapse in one shot.
“By the way, do you have any special issues or suggestions from the brigade?”
“Hmm, neither are there, but there are interesting rumors going around among the soldiers.”
“An interesting rumor?”
Originally, I was the one who died from rumors circulating among the soldiers.
There are no smartphones or webtoons here, so hearing such stories was one of the few entertainments.
I am also the one who spread the rich love story of Sergeant Rick Hanson, who is now serving in the 6th Division, and the only daughter of an incumbent general.
A secret affair with the daughter of the general he saved during the Maniopole recapture operation.

I’m filming another world version of Descendants of the Sun. How can I endure this?
“This sounds like fun. Say something.”
I sipped steaming tea and listened to Nikolai’s next words.
“Since the position of 7th Mobile Brigade Commander was taken by Colonel Rumia Bluet, I heard that Colonel Rumia is your wife?”
“Pu-Hup—!? Cough Cough!!”
A black stream of water came out of his mouth and soaked the desk at the shocking content.
“What!? What is that, Coke…… ! Is that bullsh*t?”
“Why do you react like you are hearing this for the first time? Have you never heard of a story like this before?”
It couldn’t have been.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard the idiot word for wife, even though kids sometimes joke about it.
When I reacted with amazement, Nikolai Hilbert murmured as he extinguished the cigarette he was holding in his mouth by pushing it into the ashtray.
“Well…… There is no way anyone would say such a thing in front of a battalion commander or brigade commander.”
“A battalion commander?”
“It’s a long-standing tradition that has been handed down since the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Battalion. I even made bets with the kids.”
The guy took a silver coin out of his pocket before he knew it and smiled mischievously.
I’m dizzy.
At the moment I was about to pass over the nonsensical joke, one of Nikolai’s words struck me.
“Wait a minute, if you are a royal wife…… That means there are other candidates.”
“Isn’t that obvious? How many women are you involved with?”
“Who is the candidate?”
“First of all, the most important thing is, of course, Colonel Rumia Bluet. She has been serving as an adjutant all along…… This time, he secured an overwhelming approval rating by taking over the position of commander of the 7th Mobile Brigade, which is a direct descendant. In fact, it seems to have almost hardened into her one-top?”
I’m going crazy.
So, did Erwin or Claude say something meaningful while looking at me from time to time?
-The lieutenant colonel has a lot of women looking for him, so be careful.
-Isn’t it also called heroic lust? I understand.
At that time, I wondered what to say, but it felt like a lost puzzle was being put together in my head.
“And the other two are the Commander of the Combat Medical Brigade Bell Meyer and…… Roxanna Elim, 1st Fighter Wing Commander. They both have a pretty big fandom.”
“f*ck.”
It was a word that really had no choice but to swear. Besides, from my point of view, aren’t they two people who can’t be proud of themselves?
“And again… ….”
“Wait, wait.”
I stopped the giggling chief of staff as if enjoying my suffering.
“How many candidates are there in total…… ?”
“There are three main candidates. About ten in all?”
“That’s a lot of f*cking.”
“But, as you know, I am also the chief of staff. There may be more among the soldiers.”
It was 100%. After all, what are the stories that men talk about when they get together?
Especially in a closed environment such as the military, where life goes back and forth, it was inevitable. After all, people live in the same place in Korea or Uk ran.
My dating is fun, but actually, what’s more fun is meddling in other people’s dating history.
But the love story of a war hero who appeared like a comet and saved the nation as the only incumbent division commander in his 20s?
This was a topic that would make any man’s mouth water. Especially if you have ever met me face to face.
“Damn it.”
I took out a handkerchief and muttered as I wiped the dirty desk.
“Still, it seems that the soldiers have become much more comfortable. Enough to go around such rumors.”
“Are you going to mess around?”
“No way. I mean just…… That’s good Even during a war, you shouldn’t lose your sense of humor.”
If it’s possible to boost the morale of the unit by joking about the person who will lead me, I’ll give you permission to do it.
If we go further, we are willing to open a popularity vote. Assuming that the personnel agree to the end.
‘…… Belle and Roxanna even confessed, so I can’t really deny it.’
Besides that, it means the soldiers are friendly with me, so there’s no reason to take them badly.
Still, my head has been on fire for the past few weeks with the development of tanks, weapons supply, and manpower replenishment.
For a while, I felt my head loosen up a bit. Because there is nothing better to evoke the atmosphere than a trivial joke.
“Come to think of it, it will be the sowing anniversary soon.”
“That’s right…… Has it already been this time?”
A national holiday commemorating the start of the year’s farming in earnest.
Originally, it was supposed to mark the end of winter starting with this Sowing Day, but now it marks the start of a war much harsher than winter.
It was just bittersweet in many ways.
“Since it’s our anniversary, let’s prepare a special meal for the kids. You never know when it will pop out.”
“I’ll pass it on to the military chief of staff and the food supply officer.”
However.
The special turkey meal prepared for the Sowing Day was never distributed to the soldiers.
[The Reinhalt Empire, an ultimatum to Polania.]
[Polania, de facto denial of advice. Entering the double-sided front!]
Dongbu, which had gradually become accustomed to the scent of separation, was excited again.
