The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

90 – Butterfly flew (2)

“I will tell you directly. Are you ready?”

“I walked out of the mountain division training in the Free Democratic Republic of Pru, but I don’t have enough mental strength to break down.”

I blew a cool fact in front of Chief of Staff Joseph.

“The 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion is an asshole.”

“… ….”

Joseph’s face hardened after he had been arguing. I don’t know if that’s why I’m vomiting again.

From noble mtl dot com

But he had no intention of stopping.

Major Josef Lewandowski was one of the most enterprising and smartest field officers I have ever met.

He’s not saying you have to drink foreign water for nothing. Even in real life, there was a clear difference in the thoughts and capabilities of officers who had been dispatched abroad and officers who had not.

However, the fact that they are still frogs in the well remains unchanged.

Even a person who has established a strategy and organizational structure that is quite novel and aggressive by Ukrnian standards is still weak compared to the battlefield structure of the future.

That’s why I had to blow the facts.

At the level of Chief of Staff Joseph, you’ll understand what I’m talking about, and you’ll be able to drastically revise your strategy.

“To be precise, the Ukrnian army itself is an idiot. The rank system is not properly organized, and the command system is a mess.”

“May I ask why you think so?”

“Feel free to ask any questions. Even if I were the unit commander, Chief of Staff Joseph is a far-flung senior, and his rank is high.”

“Um, yes…… Yes. I almost forgot about it for a while.”

Josef added with a nod of his head.

“I agree with the saying that the Ukrnian army is an idiot, but I don’t think even our battalion, which has achieved its own success in the Limansk arsenal, is an idiot…….”

“It’s only better than the Ukrnian army, but still lacking. Haven’t you seen the Mountain Division of the Free Democratic Republic of Prüt, Chief of Staff?”

As far as I know, the Free Democratic Republic of Fru’s Mountain Division is the most elite unit capable of displaying 100% operational capability even in the early stages of the war.

It was one of the reasons why the Free Democratic Republic of Prue was the most recommended for newbies of Hearts of General.

If you are stuck in the mountain division before the great war breaks out, you will be running on the promotion road as your major accumulates at the same time as the war breaks out.

The reason why the mountain division can demonstrate such combat power is because of the rigorous and well-organized training.

The biggest reason was the compilation.

“The Free Democratic Republic of Prüh’s Mountain Division consists of 12 battalions under three mountain regiments. And the battalion averages about 300 people and is divided into 3 combat companies, 2 reserve companies, and 1 support company.”

I lined up the organization of the mountain divisions that I had studied in advance. As Josef had been there for almost a year, he was naturally aware of it.

“When the Chief of Staff first conceived the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion, didn’t you get the idea from there?”

“Right. First of all, I was going to leave behind the two reserve corps that are less important and train them mainly as combat companies.”

“That’s where the problem lies. How important is the reserve? Moreover, the organization of the support companies is also strange. It is not a support company that only has the staff.”

At first glance, the name ‘preliminary’ seems to have very little importance. Reserve numbers, reserves, reserve personnel, and so on. There is a strong feeling that it is just childish in preparation for unexpected situations.

But not on the battlefield.

A reserve unit on the battlefield is one of the most effective organizations that can minimize unit losses, and is an important organization that determines the outcome of a battle.

Where is war going as planned? Historically, and personally experienced, there has never been a single time in war history where a unit classified as a reserve was not put into action.

“If there had been a reserve unit in Limansk last time, we wouldn’t have to bring the 3rd battalion.”

“That…… Right.”

“Moreover, aren’t we in a position to carry out a special operation called ‘Assault’? It carries out a mission that is completely different from the Mountain Division of the Free Democratic Republic of Prü, and it is a unit for a type of operation that did not exist before.”

I continued to drive. Every time I opened my mouth, Major Joseph’s arm started to move quickly.

Your eyes are fixed on me, and your hands are moving like crazy…… It’s such a bizarre scene that if someone who didn’t know the circumstances saw it, they would have run away in a panic.

“The 8th Assault Sorcery Infantry Battalion should be reorganized into the 8th Assault Sorcery Infantry Combat Team, not the Sorcery Infantry Battalion.”

Joseph’s hand, which had been scrawling random letters, stopped.

“Combat Team…… ?”

“It’s a concept that doesn’t yet exist in the armed forces of other countries, let alone Ukraine, but there’s nothing strange about operating an assault force for the first time in the world.”

When I was still involved in intelligence, I once had a conversation about organization with an American officer who was dispatched.

Because it is the U.S. Military deployed all over the world, rather than dispatching large-scale troops, the basic goal is to be a brigade combat team (BCT) that maximizes mobility and versatility.

It was literally the result of reducing a division-level operation to a compact size so that it could be managed at a brigade-level scale.

Brigade is a US military-style military organization designed to flexibly respond to any situation by organizing 3 combat battalions and 1 reconnaissance, artillery, engineering, and support battalions each.

I was thinking of getting it now.

‘Considering that the background of the game is from the end of the 19th century to the 20th century…… Although it is an organization that has exceeded a century.’

In fact, five years from now, until all-out and all-out war breaks out, we’ll be able to have quite a bit of fun.

What a cheat key to have a unit that has both mobility and versatility.

“Tell me about the combat team.”

Major Joseph’s eyes twinkled. I threw the bait and the major snapped it.

After that, the conversation between me and Chief of Staff Joseph continued.

I’m sure the sun was up in the middle of the sky just a while ago…… When I finally got out of the staff room, it was after pitch-black darkness covered the unit.

After all this talk, there is still a lot to do.

As Sonny Zeppelin was promised maximum autonomy by Prince Orlando Ruth III.

I intend to use this authority to its fullest extent and completely transform the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion.

The opportunity came sooner than expected.

That doesn’t mean you can’t just relax.

I took a cigarette out of my pocket and looked at the night sky where the Milky Way was pouring down.

That’s very pretty.

***

“Did everyone have a good night?”

A few days after I first shared the concept of the ‘battalion combat team’ with Major Joseph.

I was able to receive mail from the Petrobuna Palace in Kayev, the capital city.

[His Excellency Prince Orlando Luz granted Captain Enoch Levandel, acting battalion commander of the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion, full authority over personnel administration, training and unit organization.]

[However, it is not allowed to organize as a formal rank, proceed with on-site commissioning, but be sure to recognize that it is not reported to the personnel command.]

In short.

‘Okay, do whatever you want, admit it. But you know it’s a headache to upload it formally, right? Shall we take it slow and think about pairing up with each other and uploading it formally?’

It means

.

Honestly, there is nothing wrong with doing this much.

Rather, there is no need to advertise externally that it is a large-scale combat team, where the power inside the Ukrnian army is much more threatening than the Soviet Empire.

Anyway, I must have confidently obtained permission from the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and the supreme ruler of the principality.

I immediately assembled the entire battalion.

“Attention troops!”

Chuck, Chuck.

“To the acting battalion commander~ Gyeongre!”

“Glory to the motherland!!”

A hundred or so soldiers lined up in four columns saluted in unison in accordance with the ceremony. A high-pitched voice rang through the entire site.

“Glory. Take a break from the heat of the unit.”

“The troops are enthusiastic!”

Great, yes…… This is the commander

It’s just a deputy job at least.

Watching the entire unit waiting for my next word with their eyes wide open, the goal of the present life, which was not achieved in the end, was bound to come to mind.

‘I’m going to play the role of a battalion commander that I couldn’t put on even if I gave it a star.’

It’s a moment to get drunk with excitement.

I cleared my throat and opened the speech I had prepared.

“Did everyone sleep well? First of all, before we begin, let us honor our comrades-in-arms who sacrificed themselves by burning themselves in the last battle.”

A solemn silence soon fell over the four heats. Some of the soldiers who had maintained a close relationship with the deceased were sobbing because they were members of the unit who had shared the joys and sorrows for more than a month.

The number of deaths, which had been six, increased by two to eight. Soldiers Randel and Schmidt were attacked by mutants.

Despite the efforts of Bell Meyer and the army surgeons, the two eventually crossed the threshold of life.

There are more and more agitated soldiers.

Around the time when the traces of tears on the ground increased.

I opened my mouth.

“But one thing is certain, our 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion won a clear victory over the Empire at such vicious consumption. We have accomplished the first raid on the Imperial mainland in Ukrnian history.”

The soldiers raised their heads little by little and looked at me.

“Who did it? This is you. Not only did we successfully complete the operation, we discovered the hideous secret of the empire there, which became a weapon that would hold the empire’s breath.

Your courage to run towards your opponent without hesitation, the pride of taking responsibility until the end without leaving a single colleague behind.

That noble and honorable deed reached even the distant capital. Those whom I am calling from now on, please come to the front of the podium.”

I called names one after another.

“Tchaikovsky, Rick Hanson, David Song, Brian Taylor, Robert Haley… ….”

They were all soldiers. He seemed to have no idea why he called. I got down from the podium and approached them in bewilderment.

Then he grabbed the hand of Sergeant Tchaikovsky, who stood at the forefront, and shook his hand.

“Congratulations, Sergeant Tchaikovsky.”

Calling you a sergeant isn’t enough, let’s hang the epaulettes I took out of my pocket on both shoulders.

It was only then that the faces of the soldiers slowly turned into astonishment.

The first step to reorganize the 8th Assault Magical Infantry Battalion into a combat team.

Today, a total of 30 soldiers unofficially became NCOs.

Many more people than that got unofficial promotions.

In addition, Ukraine’s first ‘executive officer’ was also born.
