224 – Take Your Breath (3) – Defending the Borders of Polania
“General Enoch Levandel.”
“Take it easy, Mr. President.”
“How could that be? You have already become a hero not only in Uk ran, but also in our Polania.”
“I am not alone.”
At night.
In the hotel used as the headquarters of the Uk ranian 6th Corps, I was meeting with the President of Polania, Josef Faust.
Originally, Yuzef, who was originally going to win a big one this time and solidify his 3rd line at the beginning of next year, ended up crashing like a dog.
Now, let alone the 3rd line, it is at the level of barely holding on to the lifeline due to the war special.
“I don’t even care about the election anymore. We shouldn’t forget that people don’t make places, places make people…….”
Jusef said while sipping a glass of whiskey. Even though it was famous for being quite strong, Yuzef drank it without changing his face.
I thought it would feel similar if a stock that I thought could rise unconditionally was delisted in an instant.
Isn’t it not the only one who gets screwed if the country is screwed up like a stock? The lives of young people who have already been shattered at the front do not come back.
Dead or somehow survived.
I kept silent. Yuzef filled the empty glass once again, drank it in one go, and leaned back on the sofa.

“His Excellency Orlando I, no General Enoch. What are you aiming for?”
“Dissolution of the Soviet Empire.”
To the question that was uttered as if it were a sneak peek, I answered firmly without hesitation. President Yuzef shook his head as if he hadn’t expected it to come out this far.
“…… After all, a hero is something different.”
“There is no particular difference. In the end, isn’t all the cause of consumption an empire?”
Hearts of General.
In this game where I am possessed, there is no country that can be called a real ‘blood alliance’, even if they belong to the same faction.
It was because it was the second half anyway, or depending on which route the user took, even the same alliance would turn the gun someday.
Unlike the ambiguous alliances, most of the enemies you face at the beginning of the battle are definitely decided.
If you play Soviet Empire or Reinhalt, Uk ran and Walther 3 countries.
If you play Prune or Britain, Adaliya.
So, from the time I first became an officer of this country, the number one enemy I assumed was the Soviet Empire.
Reinhardt’s participation in the war only happened when one of the national events of the Sobie Empire, the ‘Separation of the Three Kingdoms’ event, occurred.
If the conditions for the three-nation separation event were not met, Reinhardt and Prue would not have participated in the war either.
“How can you dismantle that great empire? I don’t mean to underestimate you, but I’m stronger in consumption than when we reached Mansk.”
“No, you have to look at it differently. It’s not that he’s become stronger, but that he’s finally revealing his true value.”
It would be even more strange if they were pushed back by Polania even with such a vast territory and fraudulent amount of natural resources.
Even if the Great Purge hadn’t taken place, the generals of the Soviet Empire would have had to put lead bullets in their heads.
“Yeah, what happened…… Dismantling the empire isn’t that easy, is it?”
“Of course I do.”
I took a cigarette out of my pocket and held it up.
I was repeating quitting smoking and then failing because I couldn’t get rid of the damn tobacco addiction. After taking office as commander of the corps, he smoked every single day.
Because it seemed like I couldn’t solve the unanswerable level of heavy work without relying on this performance.
Char.
I snapped my fingers to create sparks, and inhaled the smoke deeply.
“If we wanted to dismantle the empire ourselves, of course we would. But it is neither me nor the Uk ranians who are dismantling the empire.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Because it will be the people of the Empire who will dismantle the Empire.”
hahahaha communist delivery.
As proven in the original history, the best way to dismantle an empire was to forcibly shove the two ideas of democracy and communism into the people.
“Uk ran has already been building close cooperation with Red October for several years. In the aftermath of the Great Purge, when the opposition from the military has also intensified, this must be a golden opportunity for them to stand up.”
In fact, neither Uk ran nor Polania could afford to continue the war.
Uk ran’s original national power itself has fallen remarkably compared to neighboring countries.
Pollania’s national power is strong, but the two-sided front with Reinhalt and Sobie Empire has consumed much more resources and manpower than expected.
In addition, unlike the eastern part of the continent, which has been in a lull overall, the inland sea is in a state of chaos due to the mad battle between Prue and Adaliya.
In addition, Reinhalt, who was closer to a blood ally than Soviet, was finishing the front with Polania, and was showing signs of intervening in the war between Prue and Britain.
Only by making good use of this war special period, both Polania and Uk ran can survive.
As the United States went through World War I and World War II, it was said that no other country had gained hegemony.
Just as Japan, which had been reduced to radioactive ashes, announced its splendid resurrection around the world within ten years of its unconditional surrender.
For Uk ran and Polania, now was their only chance to head towards a better future.
After all, it’s not us who will be crushed by the civil war, but the Sobie Empire.
“This…… Are you saying you predicted it five years ago?”
“Yes.”
“Until then, I thought Uk ran was doomed, but it was a step back toward a golden age.”
Jusef Faust said bitterly.
“Anyway, the results will come out in a week. Was it August 20th?”
“Yes.”
“If you need help, just tell me. Like the Uk ranian monarch, I am ready to pay anything for your victory.”
The president got up and staggered out of the room.
The back of the young monarch of Polania, who had been overflowing with confidence just a few months ago, was infinitely smaller.
***
The promised day has arrived.
D-DAY, scheduled for the final offensive that dragged the Polanian-Uk ranian allied forces to the very end.
Originally, the offensive was the most effective way to stab the opponent when he was not paying attention.
Therefore, Enoch Levandel’s 6th Corps and the Northern Command of Polania formed a separate detachment prior to the operation to disrupt the Imperial Army.
“Enemy armored units are deploying in the southwest direction. Heavy clashes in the defenses have been reported.”
“Anti-tank power?”
“Relatively insufficient.”
“Then quickly push a new one! Don’t let the Uk ranians break through enemy lines!”
The Imperial Army, who had already seen with their own eyes how Reinhalt was destroyed and how the Imperial Army was trampled in Lunetsk, foamed at the mouth at the word ‘Uk ranian Panzer Army’ and ran wild.
Welcoming the soldiers of the Empire to the Sobi, which were deployed with the purpose of crushing the enemy’s offensive, were crude transport vehicles with crystals attached to them that recorded the sound of the tank’s maneuvers.
It wasn’t even a tracked vehicle. A fake tank, painted gray with wooden planks attached to a simple truck, with something like a turret on top.
Airborne reconnaissance could not tell.
“…… What?? This is not a tank!”
“I was fooled! Not cavalry! Send it to headquarters soon…… !!”
And the consumption that came within range of the bombardment made the imperial army a tasty prey for the Uk ranian artillery, which had already taken all the coordinates.
In particular, the activities of the 6th Armored Field Artillery Regiment, which Enoch Levandel devoted himself to organizing, stood out.
The Soviet army was helpless against the hit-and-run attack, which quickly moved to the coordinates, fired artillery fire, and escaped.
At that point, misjudgment by the Imperial Army was continuing.
August 20th at 2:30 am.
After completing all preparations, the Uk ranian 6th Corps and Special Operations Command began to move.
“At 2:30, the 1st and 2nd Airlifts will land 10km north of the Soviet border.”
“As soon as the operation started, the 1st Panzer and 6th Panzer started maneuvering. The 1st Armored Brigade breaks through the defensive line as the spearhead and meets the enemy’s attack head-on.”
“And our 6th Armored Corps follows as a follow-up unit and joins the Special Operations Command that has descended to the rear.”
“Yes.”
The ‘Kipkus’ region, which was set as the main operational area, was the most densely located defense line of the Soviet Empire.
It was almost certain that the armored troops would be crushed if they put their heads here, but there was only one reason why Enoch Levandel chose Kipkus despite the concerns of his staff.
“A telegram came from the commander of the Southwest Army Group of the Empire, Radia Khrushchev Soviet.”
[West side of Kikkus left empty.]
[The 31st Division and Guards Armored Division, which are facing your side, fail to capture.]
[Allied anti-tank forces have moved.]
“That’s the perfect weather for an offensive.”
The defense line, which looked solid, was actually full of holes like a sponge.
