The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

Chapter 61

61 – Call from the Center (3)

The heavy, awkward silence lingered longer than expected. I was too hasty to open my mouth to the sudden appearance of the head of state, and Orlando Ruth III only looked at me slowly and did not say anything.

‘Have a seat. Why don’t you talk!’

The desire to shout like that filled his throat, but he wasn’t ignorant enough to commit the foolish act of putting his head in the guillotine.

It was the King himself who broke the heavy silence that had been maintained for a while even after leaving the battalion.

“Do you understand why I have come this far?”

A word thrown out as if to try it out. It was clear that my treatment would be determined by the conversations we had here in the carriage.

There is a 100% chance that the king was deeply involved in this personnel order. If so, the ‘deformed’ transfer structure in which the entire platoon was moving was also understandable to some extent.

Be it Lieutenant Colonel Lockhart or Personnel Command, procedures are absolute power that can be chewed on.

“All I know is that he was involved with the Special Response Brigade.”

“That’s because the personnel order itself came out like that in the first place. It’s an answer that doesn’t require reasoning.”

He gave me a sneaky bite once, but maybe it was because he was a king, he didn’t bite at all. Does this mean that it doesn’t even budge?

“Guess why I came to you. After all, the time left until we get there is leisurely.”

I calmly organized the current situation in my head.

‘The special response brigade, the entire platoon is transferred, but a separate convoy is formed and is torn apart and departs, the king riding in my carriage.’

The common value pointed to by all keywords is ‘security’.

Is there any other reason than to intentionally confuse information, the reason why the King secretly rides in the convoy hiding his identity, and why the platoon members deployed to the same place are scattered and depart?

In the end, the problem starts with the artifact that was stolen from Belgordo.

Although he executed Lamour, the head of the guard who was found to have handed over the information, it is still unclear who the top is.

One thing was certain, however, that there were obvious traitors in the Ukrnian army and cabinet.

I answered the king in a calm voice.

“It must be because they are wary of the transferees that exist within the administration. The reason why you don’t bother to tell me through dispatch or letter…… Doesn’t that mean that the place the platoon members, including me, are heading to is a place that is not common even in the Special Response Brigade?”

“What is an unusual place?”

“Is it a training ground or research center equipped for a special purpose?”

When I said that, the king opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“Did Sony tip you off?”

“No. I haven’t spoken to Col. Sonny Zeppelin separately since.”

“If that is true, what a frightening insight. I can see why she rated it so highly.”

Orlando Ruth nodded her head with a satisfied smile.

“This is a training camp. It is a training facility that is carrying out a top-secret project that is extremely rare even in the Ukrnian military.”

As expected, my predictions were correct.

In fact, using magic soldiers like special forces was a method often used in Hearts of General. Technological advancement increases mobility, and it is a tactic of escaping after reaching the battlefield by dropping down like an airborne unit and blasting the rear facilities.

Since the Brigade Commander in command of the Special Response Brigade is the Grand Mage Sonny Zeppelin, the Ukrnian Army also had this type of magician operation in mind from the beginning.

Is there a special unit capable of pouring firepower equivalent to an artillery bombardment into key facilities behind enemy lines with a single input?!

A bastard who doesn’t use it is an idiot.

Of course, even if Ukrnians use it, other parts are idiots, so they can’t play properly and get grounded.

I remember that in either camp, it was quite difficult to break through Sony Zeppelin’s special response division.

In short, they are one of the best elite units in Ukraine. In fact, the main unit that can fight well even when war breaks out.

And such a major unit is not created overnight.

“You and the members of your platoon will be assigned to the training unit to train personnel. It will become a kind of founding contributor.”

“It is just an honor for me.”

It was a moment when one of the plans that had been conceived until the war broke out five years later was distorted, but if you think about it carefully, it didn’t mean much.

Maybe…… It may be that we are able to project far more influence on the Ukrnian forces than was previously planned.

If Prince Orlando Ruth III personally came to meet one of the lieutenants, it must mean that he had high personal expectations.

Even though Sonny Zeppelin didn’t have a star in the first place, the reason she can confidently assert her claim among other generals is because she has a very close relationship with Orlando Rus, King Gong.

There’s no reason why I can’t be like that.

In addition to being already good at politics, his own stats were also given MAX political power.

Because I always have the determination to survive in the jungle called the army.

“Those who will lead the country in the future must be young officers like you, not old generals who have settled for a warm reality.”

The King looked straight into my face and continued his words.

“The world situation is changing rapidly. Over a hundred years of peace, our people have become so weak.”

Rumbling—, rattling—.

Wagon wheels made a loud noise as they bounced on the uneven ground.

“In the storm that will one day swallow the world, we Ukrnians must survive. Please work hard for that cause.”

“I promise.”

You don’t need much rhetoric. Soldiers do what they are commanded to do.

I held the king’s hand and nodded his head.

“Then I must go back to the capital. If I get further away from here, someone will notice that I’m gone.”

“Be careful back, sir.”

As if this was the intention from the beginning, a separate convoy was prepared at the place where the wagon stopped.

I saluted the king in moderation and watched the king’s escort vanishing beyond the setting sun.

After that, it was a purely solo trip. I slowly took in the scenery through the window.

Basically, it is a plain area that is completely different from the northern part surrounded by mountainous areas. A wheat field with just green wheat growing densely stretches endlessly beyond the horizon.

It seems that the location of this unit has been chosen to be in the south.

The southern part of Ukraine is a vast plain area bordered by the Reinhardt Empire in the southeast, the Free Democratic State of Fru in the southwest, and the equally permanently neutral Kingdom of Switcheland.

Due to the nature of the plains, once the defense line is breached, the troops have no choice but to push through the terrible defensive terrain.

For this reason, the northern part of the country that was holding out was also completely destroyed due to the intervention of the Reinhardt Empire.

‘How to maintain this area must be the key.’

The rough strategy had been decided to some extent. In the first place, it is unreasonable for the Ukrnian army to enter the offensive from the beginning of the war. As of now, the only thing that could be established was a strategy for defensive battles.

As of now, both Orlando Rus III and the Ukrnian Army seem to think that if they fight the Soviet Empire, they will fight, but the Reinhardt Empire will not enter…….

It is useless to discuss strategies with the back of your head already open.

‘If possible, it would be better to build a fortress line like the Maginot Line based on this axis.’

Once assigned as a training unit for the Special Response Brigade, they may not be able to project their influence right away.

I hoped that if I slowly increased my personal connections, as I did with Prince Orlando Ruth today, I would be able to prepare for the outbreak of war.

On that day, the Southern Front will be drenched in the blood of the careless Reinhardts.

Oh yes. Come to think of it, my affiliation changed, and I suddenly wondered how the contents of the status window had changed.

In the first place, I didn’t even need to take a picture of stats, so I haven’t checked it lately.

“Status window.”

Let’s shout briefly, and a translucent window appears in front of us. Even though it is a skill that can be used, of course, this strange feeling is felt.

Seeing my dreams gradually come true from Enoch Levandel’s point of view, I feel like I’ve adapted to life in Hearts of General all over again.

You have to look at the personal screen anyway, so nothing has changed, so let’s skip it.

The key was the unit management window.

Perhaps a personnel order was issued, so it was clear that the affiliation had changed from the 3rd Magical Battalion under direct control of the Northern Corps to the Special Response Brigade.

The exact position is still unknown, and it is not known whether I will become an instructor or train under Sonny Zeppelin as a trainee in the training camp.

However, if it is a status window, you can clearly see how it is organized.

“Unit management.”

The unit management window I checked with such high expectations was more shocking than I had imagined.
