213 – Sunset (3) – The Gdanskow Offensive
The southern defense line has been breached.
As soon as I heard the news, I had no choice but to pull out a cigarette. What is to come has to come.
Polania is undoubtedly a great power. Because it is a ‘republic’ that survived despite being sandwiched between Polania and the Soviet Empire.
A relationship that cannot be mixed politically, historically, or ethnically.
However, Polania succeeded in defending her sovereignty with dignity. That alone gave Polania a reason to be recognized as a great power.
If Uk ran had been in the middle, I might have had no choice but to watch the assimilation with the empire, crying and eating mustard.
Even I, who had just reached 10,000 Hearts of General hours and became oil, never attacked Polania in the early stages of the war unless it was for entertainment or concept play.
But now fate has changed.
The Republic of Polania could not stop Reinhardt’s attack until the end.
The present Reinhalt was much stronger than the Reinhalt of the early days of the general war. Airborne tanks, are you crazy?
It looks like he’s riding a really steamed gongsu tree.
If this is the case, it will take some time for Panzer 5 and 6, which boast terrible performance in the game, to be developed.
Thanks to Reinhalt, I managed to lower Polania and the back of my head coolly. Even I, who was deeply involved in the Reinhardt military project, had never really thought of an airborne tank.
This isn’t StarCraft, does it make sense to have a large troop drop in the backyard of the base?

“The President of the Republic, Joseph Faust, has requested official support.”
As the situation is quite urgent, King Orlando I and the Uk ranian Cabinet immediately declared a state of emergency.
The command of the Polania Expeditionary Force, headed by General Geor Wasilovsky, the commander of the infantry, was quickly formed.
The 4th corps in charge of the eastern part, the 5th corps I belong to, the newly established 6th corps, and even the Special Operations Command.
The Expeditionary Force Headquarters actually included all the tolerable units that were said to be a pluck in Uk ran.
A total of 150,000 troops, nearly half of the pre-war Uk ranian forces, began preparations for deployment.
The other side of the country went to the point of begging because they couldn’t do it, saying that the country would be ruined right away.
It is not the level of support of several divisions that was supposed from the beginning. In addition to the three corps, it was decided to dispatch a large army consisting of four separate division-level troops, so there is no way it could be prepared overnight.
So who wants to break through the southern defenses?
It’s like Jin-gu, who boasts that he can stop it, but then comes back to find Doraemon.
It could be said that it was a pitiful act, but it could not be helped.
Again, Polania had to exist in some form. Even if much of the northern and southern territories were vomited out, the nation as a whole should not be destroyed.
So I entered the public opinion war again.
“False…… Distributing information?”
“I don’t think you can hide it if you try to hide it, but it’s important to confuse the enemy.”
Sarah Ronald, director of Uk ranian reporting for The Wilson Times, shook her head.
At the time of the recapture of Lunetsk, she stood on the Uk ranian side and contributed greatly to turning the world situation around, because she was her number one contributor.
This time too, I—no, Uk ran needed her help.
“That is against the spirit of journalists!”
“That’s not entirely wrong. We’re going to stab you once.”
“Yes?”
“The Reinhalt and Soviet Empires are clearly wary of us. Although Polania has arbitrarily opened the front, that doesn’t mean the war with us is over.”
We are still wary of consumption. Whether they have pride or not, there has been no reinforcement negotiations, but the fact that they consider us a threat remains the same.
Since the current problem Polania is facing is a two-sided front, even the slightest attempt by the Uk ranians to cross the border to Soviet would be enough to pull the forces deployed on the Polania side.
“If this continues, Polania will be helplessly defeated. Sarah, how long do you think the nation can last between two beasts?”
She didn’t answer. For a journalist, her most important ability wasn’t how quickly she spread the news.
Because they also needed the ability to discern the situation intuitively and grasp it as objectively as possible.
“Will the Soviet Empire really leave Polania alone? They’re going to tear the whole country to shreds like rags. Like the data I showed you last time, it is certain that many people of Polania will be taken away and used as test subjects or abused like slaves.”
At the time of the public opinion campaign on Soviet, I disclosed to Sarah Ronald all the data Uk ran had gathered so far.
Of course, among them, citizens of other countries living near the border were abducted and used as test subjects.
The fact that it was used as slaughtered meat to train mutant soldiers was also revealed without filtering.
The horror was so terrible that Sarah Ronald said she hadn’t eaten meat for a while.
That was the reason why all information was not disclosed during the public opinion contest.
Because it was so terrible, I couldn’t predict the repercussions when it was revealed to the world.
“… ….”
It’s been several years since we’ve known each other. In other words, he knew how to mobilize journalist Sarah Ronald.
“Are you sure you won’t regret it when the time comes? After all, Polania is next to us.”
“Ugh.”
As she gently scratched at the parts that made her feel responsible, little by little a response began to arrive.
“Okay! Got it! Are you really going to attack me?”
“Yes.”
“Okay then. I can’t say it’s completely false.”
“Should I spice it up instead?”
“That is the exclusive property of The Wilson Times.”
Sarah Ronald let out a deep sigh and laughed.
“By the way, when the war is over, don’t you want to come to our Uk ranian Ministry of Information and Communications? If I say to His Excellency Orlando…….”
“I will think positively~. Honestly, Uk ran is not a bad country to spend your old age.”
“Anyways, thank you.”
I shook her hand and stood up from her seat.
The fire was lit. Now, before the full-fledged flames flare up, it was time to prepare the oil to pour on the empire.
***
It wasn’t only Warden Enoch Levandel who wandered around enough to catch her feet on fire after Polania’s defeat.
Orlando I and his entourage have been unable to enter the Petrovuna Palace for several days.
As the two countries of the current Imperial Alliance were clearly at odds, it was because it was their turn to firmly set the scales in the direction of the Free Alliance.
The first target was, of course, the 3 Balther countries.
Comprised of the Principality of Esto, the Principality of Lahit, and the Kingdom of Tuaren, they were practically a federation of three countries, and they, along with Prü, were a country that had built a fairly close cooperative relationship with Uk ran in the ‘army’ sector.
“The Tripartite Council of Walter expresses great concern about the current situation in the Kingdom of Uk ran and the Republic of Polania.”
At the king’s visit, the representative of the three countries and the chairman of the United Council, who is close to the de facto leader, came to the interview.
“The Inland Sea has been virtually swallowed by Adaliya and Reinhalt. Supply by land is desperately needed.”
“You are saying that you need help as a support country, not a participant in the war.”
“Yes, I am.”
“That level of support is more than possible. However, as you said, the dispatch of an advisory group to support the joint development of new tanks and the creation of an air corps…….”
“I promise you that I will take the place of the king.”
Orlando I was a warlord. If you include the civil war, it is already the third war that has been fought under his rule.
That’s why I knew all too well how important constant supplies, organization, and soldiers’ morale were.
The sea is blocked, so the only thing left is the land route.
Currently, Uk ran is virtually in a state of total war, and maintains an abnormal army that is not commensurate with its industrial or economic scale.
Support for war materials, including food, from the outside was not an option, but a necessity.
Fortunately, the three countries were positive about cooperation with Uk ran and willingly accepted the role as a logistical base for the war.
From oil, ammunition, food, to various mineral resources.
As long as the Free Democratic Republic of Prü did not suddenly fall to Adaliya, the rear of Uk ran was not safe and a strong support country was established.
And the next person Orlando I met was an old man.
Old costumes of the Rus Char Empire. He was dressed very shabby, but his eyes were still full of guns.
“It is an honor to meet you, People’s Commissar Vladimir Trotsky.”
“The old man sees his lord.”
They were two people I knew once.
They looked at each other with comfortable faces and shared a light hug.
Red October.
A descendant of an old revolutionary hero who was a first-class contributor to the collapse of the Rus Char Empire, but was brutally expelled by the current emperor’s family.
He had been waiting for the right time in the cold winter mountains, and he finally revealed himself in the spring.
