The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow - The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow chapter 205

204 – Clawless Tiger (1)

The Soviet Empire was in chaos. Of the 40,000 special operations forces that crossed the border with great vigour, less than 30 percent returned to the Empire.

The 13th Infantry Division and the 193rd Cavalry Brigade operated in the eastern part of Uk ran, the Haraneu Front.

As the mixed division’s defeat deepened, the 31st Magical Brigade evacuated safely after a hasty retreat from the upper level.

They are only members of the 4th Guards Infantry Division, which was deployed in the Barden Forest and was pulverized by Enoch Levandel’s surprise attack, and the entire unit scattered and fled.

The 45th Motorized Rifle Division, which was imprisoned in the city of Edasa, had all its vehicles captured or destroyed, and was destroyed without being able to escape from the encirclement.

The 52nd Mixed Division, led by Oldek Mitaev, absorbed nearby units and charged bravely, but was unable to break through the Uk ranian defense line and was forced to withdraw.

They surrendered to the Uk ranians along with the troops of the corps headquarters remaining in the city of Lunetsk.

Disgrace.

I didn’t need other limbs to describe the war in the Lunetsk region.

Infuriated by the overwhelming insolence, the emperor summoned generals from the Soviet army all at once to the imperial palace.

“Who recommended Georgi Budyonyi?”

Emperor Constantine Pyotr, sitting crookedly on his throne, said. There was a soft glow in her red eyes.

No general failed to notice that the gaze mingled with definite contempt and anger.

“Woe, Your Majesty the Emperor…… ! Forgive me…… ! I also didn’t know that Chi was that ugly…… !!”

In the end, a general who couldn’t stand the charisma that wrapped around the crowd jumped out. He was an officer belonging to the Soviet General Command who was deeply involved in the formation of this special operation force.

“Was it the operation planning staff? I remember.”

“Sal, please save me! I will never make this mistake next time!”

Colorless with the star on his shoulder, he prostrated himself in front of the emperor and trembled.

Constantine looked at him with dry eyes, then called someone into the air.

“What about Major Vladimir McLean? Is this person faithful to the imperial family?”

Now then.

From behind the empty throne, a man with black hair appeared and knelt down to answer.

“No. Even just a few months ago, he stole military supplies in collusion with the military supply staff, and it was also revealed that he contacted the kingdom of Adaliya and prepared to smuggle some equipment.”

“…… ?! Oh no!! Yes man!! Who the hell are you to tell lies in front of the great Emperor! How arrogant!!”

“Umm, I see.”

At the desperate general, the emperor waved his hand. Then a young soldier called Major jumped up from his seat and fired his pistol.

Taang!

A sharp gunshot sound.

“Quaaa!!!”

The general screamed as his legs were bleeding. Every time you roll the floor, another drop of red dye is added to the red carpet.

Soon, the guards who were waiting in advance will appear and drag the general away.

There was only heavy silence in the audience room.

Everyone was watching. Right in front of my eyes, a two-star general was shot and dragged away.

It didn’t matter what his charges were.

The important thing was that the emperor would never sit idly by about the indecent behavior of the imperial army at Sobie.

“It’s too late to introduce you guys, Major Vladimir McLean from Division 3, trained by Lieutenant Colonel Yegor Ivanov of the General Directorate of Information.”

General Information Bureau.

After the failure in the last Uk ranian civil war, I wondered if the situation had weakened, but it turned out to be internal counterintelligence rather than external espionage.

The emperor’s shadow, the emperor’s sword.

That also refers to the direct successor of the notorious Yegor Ivanov. The generals shut their mouths tightly, feeling cold sweat running down their backs.

“Jim is about to make a big decision. Sirs, focus.”

“Is it possible or not!”

The generals are very nervous and take a posture.

“I heard that the discipline of the soldiers sent to the front line has become very lax. This is probably because the discipline of the officers, who should be exemplary, has not been corrected.”

What the emperor said was true.

Soviet imperial army officers committed embezzlement as if they were eating rice, and reigned like little kings in the unit.

I knew, but I condoned. Because the emperor was merciful. It was a problem that that mercy was free only to the extent of its own power, but that was the case anyway.

However, now that the war has ended in a disastrous failure and has completely lost face.

The emperor’s power was clearly under threat.

“From now on, the General Intelligence Agency will launch a massive investigation into the military. I will never tolerate all the things I have tolerated so far, and I will punish the crimes committed so far according to their severity.”

“As you wish… ….”

The generals instinctively knew. They said that, but in fact the end would lead to their own destruction.

The emperor’s words that followed didn’t even come into my ears anymore.

They had to seriously think about how they could survive, and most of the conclusions were ‘accusing others for their own survival’.

The day the edict was issued along with the emperor’s warning.

The Soviet Information Bureau arrested a total of 20 Soviet generals. The number of field officers and lieutenant officers judged to be related to him was even greater.

Blood and wind began to blow in the capital of the empire.

Now, it was time for purges.

***

The news of the outbreak of the Republic of Polania quickly reached Uk ran. As soon as I heard the news, I had to pick up a cigarette I hadn’t touched in a while.

“f*ck you, you crazy bastards.”

“What now?”

Colonel Nikolai Hilbert, who was smoking next to him, said. Because he was the one who was supposed to be the chief of staff of the 87th Rapid Response Division, which would be newly formed like the 7th Mobile Brigade.

The problem was that not only the creation of new divisions and corps, including the rapid response division, but also the reorganization of existing divisions had not been carried out properly.

“Somehow, we applied for nothing here, but if we are pushed back, we have no answer either. Originally, the grand strategy was to not cross the border no matter what.”

I tut and clicked my tongue.

The most absurd thing was how they crossed the border without declaring war.

Definitely there is a procedure in war.

For that consumption, even the Empire did something reckless by declaring war when it committed special operations forces.

And as a result of the fact that the special agent and other intelligence agencies found out, several months before the war started, they spread the information to allied forces, including Reinhalt and the Kingdom of Adalia.

But Polania didn’t say anything about this operation. If I had known, I would have been frightened and dried up.

I wasn’t the only one who was frightened by the reckless challenge of the Republic of Polania.

“What kind of bullsh*t is this!?!”

Sonny Zeppelin was equally embarrassed. Even the Archmage couldn’t understand their actions.

“Your nervousness and greed made you lose your judgment.”

Orlando I said with displeasure. It was only natural to be displeased.

Definitely the head of a country. As far as the military alliance was concerned, Polania’s actions inevitably led to Uk ranian intervention.

“Your Majesty… ….”

“In their eyes, they might have thought that there would be no chance to destroy the empire in consumption other than now. Because it definitely looks like that.”

The Soviet Empire was suffering from severe measles following the painful defeat at Lunetsk.

The Great Purge.

Whether Constantine Pyotr was still in power, a revolution broke out and the regime was overthrown.

A national focus that awakens the Soviet Empire as a true ‘Soviet’.

The number of generals is horribly reduced, and the military capacity for a while is stricken to the ground.

When it is reborn as a purge, the research value of all military doctrines increases exponentially, and the wartime industrial power also rises upwards.

Of course, that doesn’t mean the Sobie Empire is invincible.

In the first place, what I was planning was a complete victory at Lunetsk, and the great purge of Soviet would take place in a more extended state than the basic one. Because it wasn’t to prevent the Great Purge.

The more severe the purge, the higher the chance of a civil war.

In the environment created in that way, what if the second offensive of the empire was blocked?

People’s dissatisfaction within the empire has risen to the point that the imperial family can no longer handle it.

He was planning to destroy the empire in connection with Red October, which was being seasoned in advance.

If that happens, I will be the first to sign a peace treaty with Uk ran in order to protect a country mired in civil war right away.

But since Polania made a sudden rush, it was clear that the Great Purge would not be as big as I thought.

Constantine is not an asshole.

A large army is pouring in from below, but political judgment takes precedence and it is not a mistake to slaughter talented generals.

Even if the empire has become very weak at present, a beast is a beast.

Just because a tiger loses its claws doesn’t mean it doesn’t have sharp teeth.

“What shall we do now?”

At the question posed by one of the officials, King Orlando I salivated with a serious expression. A heavy silence followed.

And the person Orlando I pointed out was me without fail.

“What is your opinion, Director Enoch Levandell?”
