116 – Ukrnian Wave (5)
We need to go back to the Stone Age.
That overwhelming word weighed on everyone gathered in the hearing room. Is there a sentence that can show a firmer will and give a stronger impact than that one word?
At the time when even the generals who asked me to give up were unable to speak and became mute.
Even Geor Wasilovsky and Sonny Zeppelin, who actually set the stage, couldn’t help but praise Enoch Levandel for speaking at that level casually.
‘Crazy bastard…… !!’
‘As expected, Enoch, damn it I believed you!!’
Both of them were rave reviews that were slightly different, but rave reviews were rave reviews.
“Should we go back to the Stone Age?”
However, the king was not shaken.
I just raised my eyebrows and asked back. In response to the prince’s response, Enoch Levandel continued to argue.
“They have already used all their cards. The personnel who occupied Maniopol and Portmork at the time of the first landing were probably the most elite personnel gathered from the Azov National Liberation Front.”
“Yes.”
“At the same time, Nur Egener, the best commander, was stranded in Portmork, and both of their hidden cards, the two ironclad ships, were in our hands.”
The strengths of the Azov National Liberation Front were its quick and rapid deployment of troops and its naval power equal to or superior to that of the Ukrnian Navy.
Although it was funny that the navy of the liberationist forces, who are only holding a sit-in on the island, is on par with the navy of the Principality of Ukraine, a strictly independent country.
What can I do, that’s the reality.
However, with this expedition ending in disastrous failure, Azov no longer had an advantage over the Ukrnians.
The army is inherently inferior.
The concept of air force itself is out of the question since there are only Ukraine and the Reinhardt Empire across all continents.
And in the navy, the two ironclad ships were ‘captured’, giving the Ukrnians a complete advantage.
“Now is a great opportunity. They are like fungi, and if we don’t eradicate them when we get the chance, they will invade the territory of Ukraine once more.”
Enoch Levandel turned his head slightly to look at the generals gathered in the hearing room. Even in front of countless stars, Enoch Levandel’s eyes never wavered.
A level of conviction that makes the rank of captain colorless.
Obviously, at one time there were people who served in the military with similar convictions as the captain.
I will make the Principality of Ukraine into a rich and powerful country. I will defend the country I love with my own hands.
The reality of the Ukrnian army who came in with such an idea was brutal.
All of the generals gathered at the hearing were people who were spoiled in such a storm. Rather than compromising with reality and defending their beliefs, those who decided to just settle for where they were.
However, the appearance of the captain right in front of them was enough to revive the very small embers that remained in their hearts.
“Maybe this is your first and last chance, sir.”
Orlando Ruth III looked at the bold captain with satisfaction and replied.
“Then what can you promise me? If it is an opportunity, shouldn’t there be a price corresponding to the opportunity?”
“First, we promise the complete restoration of Ukrnian territory, and second, a complete victory that will be recorded in the history books. Instead!!”
Enoch doesn’t always boast of good results.
He was a player.
If you raise the stakes, you need at least a price to win the stakes.
There’s no way you can see the match in the game when the cards in your hand are nothing.
“Instead of…… ?”
Curiosity stood in the eyes of the princess. This time, it was pure curiosity about what the captain would say.
“Please appoint Brigadier General Sonny Zeppelin as Commander of the Azov Landing Force. It must be Brigadier General Sonny Zeppelin and not anyone else.”
“What-!?”
With those words spoken without hesitation.
It was natural for the hearing chairman to be overturned once again.
***
“I’m out of my mind! Brigadier General Sonny Zeppelin, isn’t there a single sane person in the Special Response Brigade?!”
“Guard Cascal! Be careful with your words. After all, their achievements are undeniable facts!”
“However, it is undeniable that he allowed his captain to run amok like an unbridled colt, rather than properly cracking down.”
“Kuhmm…… !!”
After the hearing.
All the officers below the field rank returned to their units, but the generals, who were the actual leaders of the Ukrnian army, remained.
It was because King Orlando Luz III had ordered him to stay.
And they were still struggling in the great fire caused by the captain who had just been there.
Sonny Zeppelin, who had become a hot potato, was just clearing his ears, whether he was cursing himself or not.
“Brigadier General Sonny Zeppelin! Say something!”
“What am I talking about? The conclusion has already been made in the heads of the generals. Isn’t it no different from reading the sutras in your ears?”
“What!?”
“Stop!! Stop!! Be quiet!!”
In the end, when the poor king shouted, the tumultuous hall was cleaned up in an instant.
“What do you think, Secretary of State?”
“I completely agree with the invasion of the Azov Islands…… I’m worried that His Excellency the King might be too swayed by the words of just one captain.”
Most of the military generals, including the Secretary of State, gave almost the same response.
The vacuum operation was negative or neutral, and the evaluation of Sonny Zeppelin’s Special Response Brigade, which was the main player in this victory, was also quite harsh.
It was natural.
They haven’t truly appreciated the Special Response Brigade and Enoch Levandell.
When the recapture of Maniopole was completed, only the 32nd Division under the Southern Corps was the only one who clearly witnessed how the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Combat Team led by Enoch Levandel played an active role.
Right now, other division commanders and commanders of the Southern Corps are undercutting the achievements of Sonny Zeppelin and Enoch Levandel.
The reason the Special Response Brigade can fight so well is purely because of the new weapons.
It’s because the Great Mage Sonny Zeppelin received as much support as he was the commander.
Watching him spit out such absurd speculations and chatter, it was just frustrating for the 32nd division commander, Major General Kinbell Rezantsev.
Would your division have been able to recapture Maniopole without the 8th Assault Magic Infantry Combat Team?
No, more radically than that.
If it weren’t for Enoch Levandel, would he have been able to completely destroy the 2nd Azov Regiment that occupied Maniopol?
It was absolutely impossible.
“If I had been given command, I would have taken Portmork right away. What is it that you regret so much that you are enduring it with a deadly operation or something!”
Major General Robs, the commander of the 51st division, shouted in a strong voice. He had strangely disliked Captain Enoch Levandell from before.
Because he is proud of his appearance, he opposes and sees the opinion of a young officer who is much younger than himself and has less experience.
No matter how much he was a division commander, Major General Kinbel Rezantsev was terribly ashamed of his comrades.
“Hmm…… Any other comments?”
At that time.
Lieutenant General Geor Wasilovsky, commander of the Southern Corps, who had been silent the entire time, raised his hand.
“I agree with Captain Enoch.”
“Brigade Commander!?”
Not to be outdone by this, Kinbell Rezantsev, commander of the 32nd Division, also raised his hand and agreed with that opinion. Subsequently, Lieutenant General Siegmund, commander of the National Gendarmerie, also agreed with Geor.
“I don’t lie about my previous record. Judging by the achievements Captain Enoch Levandel has made so far, he is a prophet who will lead the Ukrnian military into a stronger and more advanced future.”
Sygmund still remembers it clearly.
A young lieutenant who succeeded in pinpointing and tracking down suspicious elements within a day of being given the mission.
But that wasn’t enough, they even managed to recapture the city by destroying one regiment of the Azov National Liberation Front that had crept into the south.
Such an amazing major.
From noble mtl dot com
If he had been an officer belonging to the National Military Police, Zygmund was such a talented person that he would have promoted him to major right away.
It has already been over 20 years since he set foot in his own military gate.
Until now, it is not that there were no war heroes in Ukraine, but there are those who have achieved incredible achievements like now…… There wasn’t a single one.
Even the Central Corps’ magic brigade commander, Brigadier General Hafenruk Helheim, couldn’t achieve as much achievement as Captain Enoch Levandel.
“The morale of his subordinates is also outstanding. As the head of the National Gendarmerie who assists His Excellency, I am ashamed to tell you, but Enoch Levandel’s unit is the sharpest sword we currently have in Ukraine.”
There are people who are jealous.
It means you have the ability.
And yet, the leadership of the Ukrnian army is not so rotten that everyone points a finger at its capabilities.
“The Secretary of State.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are we in a state of war?”
“I can see that. No letter about a ceasefire or a peace treaty has yet arrived.”
“Then, ‘wartime rank’ can also be applied.”
Orlando Ruth III set his eyes on Sonny Zeppelin. Confirming that gaze, she grabbed her angle and stood up from her seat.
“Brigadier General Sonny Zeppelin, I am appointing you commander of the landing force as of this time.”
“We will show you the best results as you trusted us.”
“The headquarters of the landing force will be placed under the direct control of the prince, and all authorities will be given autonomy.”
Those who had been babbling for a while have now completely shut their mouths. The King of Gong announced it like that, but who could rebel against it?
“You must know that this is an unconventional greeting unprecedented in the history of the Ukrnian military.”
“Yes.”
“How much time do you need?”
“Give me a month. We will complete the details of the operation, including training, perfectly.”
“Your ambition is good.”
Orlando Ruth III said with a light laugh.
“Bring glory to your country.”
The title added at the end was indeed as heavy as the number of newly added stars.
“Lieutenant General Sonny Zeppelin.”
