The Difference Is Like Between a Dog and a Cow

chapter 2



2 – I’m going crazy

“No, wait. Let’s calm down.”

I took a deep breath.

You never know until you look at the stats. Even if the paper opinion is cataclysmic, I don’t know what the actual performance will be like.

Why, starting with Napoleon, he said he had health problems even before he became emperor. According to the records, he also had a mental illness.

It might be a gemstone that looks like that, right?

It’s a level of mental illness, but with constant attention and care, it can be sufficiently cured.

“Status window!”

I recalled the board I had put off for a while.

As expected, the unit management screen, which was displayed blank until a moment ago, is now filled with four faces.

——————

[Northern Legion 3rd Magic Battalion 2nd Company 5th Platoon]

Platoon Leader: Enoch Levandel

Lumia Blue

Bell Meyer

Claude Lane

Roxanna Elim

——————

Haojie’s personnel management system consists of quite complex and sophisticated mechanisms.

It’s not that I’ve been holding on to a hard-core strategy simulation position that no one can touch for over ten years for no reason.

Generally, three conditions had to be met before the start of the war to set the subordinate stats to the final level.

First, identify the tendencies of subordinate soldiers, noncommissioned officers, and officers and provide a ‘training solution’ tailored to them.

The battlefield is efficiency.

The stats at the start of the World War are determined by how efficiently you train and improve the skills of your troops.

Even soldiers who are mere ordinary soldiers A if left unattended.

If you introduce and train an appropriate solution, you can develop an enemy general into a female foe who attacks single-handedly and takes the sword.

That is the power of training that Haojie emphasizes.

Second, fill in the ‘real world experience’.

Before war breaks out, annihilate nearby gangs of bandits or organize missions focused on exterminating criminals or monsters.

In this way, the probability of obtaining artifacts possessed by demons or criminals increases, and, of course, experience in combat is also accumulated.

Of course, training is important. But, of course, practice is more important than that.

One battle experience was much more effective in raising the proficiency of subordinates than 100 training sessions.

The higher the combat experience, the more ‘veteran’ correction you get when entering a battle.

And last.

Increase ‘loyalty’ to the commander.

Have you heard the word moral bread?

It refers to an action in which the morale (Morale) of the troops becomes bread (0), rushes into battle and flees.

To sum it up in one word, it is ‘unconditional siren’.

A situation where you give up fighting or reorganization and run away leaving your arsenal and allies alone.

Not only can you not stop the enemy, but it is like breaking through one axis of the defense line, so the moment you start to lose your morals, the battle is as good as lost.

For this reason, in order to prevent this moral bread, the loyalty of the subordinates toward the commander, that is, the player, had to be high.

The right training solution.

A wealth of practical experience.

Loyalty.

If these three elements are satisfied, any abandoned platoon can be transformed into a weapon of war.

So I’m not ready to give up just yet.

Who am I?

Oil that has rotted because Goida played Hao Jie for over 10,000 hours.

My pride won’t allow me to run away in despair at a platoon of low rank.

I don’t think I can run away in the first place.

“I need to check my abilities first.”

I was just about to check Rumia Blue’s abilities by manipulating the screen like that.

Smart.

A knock on the door was clearly heard from outside. An inaudible voice follows.

“Platoon commander Enoch Levandell? Are you still sleeping?”

Who are you? Without even having time to think, the word platoon leader stuck in my ears.

Are you a member of my platoon? Or lieutenant?

What should I answer? To think that I, whose mind went blank for a moment, was fooling around like an idiot.

“…… Mmm. Then, excuse me.”

The wooden door that had been firmly closed opened.

The sunlight that I hadn’t seen before because there were no windows shined brightly, and my shiny silver hair swayed in the light.

“Ah.”

“Uh.”

“Wake up…… Are you there?”

She looks much prettier than when she saw it on paper, and at the same time gives off a cynical impression.

Amethyst-like eyes staring at me from the crimson-colored lips all at once come into my field of vision.

She was Sergeant Rumia Bluet.

“Yes.”

I answered Rumia dryly. I didn’t do it on purpose. However, I was so flustered that this reaction popped out without my knowledge.

He is also a character in the game.

A situation where I couldn’t even properly decide how to respond or how to speak. So I was just spitting it out randomly.

“Ummm…… Sorry for that If I had known you were awake, I wouldn’t have come in on my own.”

“It’s okay.”

As expected, it’s awkward.

“But for what purpose?”

“Ah, it’s not that different!! Today is your first day in charge, the battalion commander is calling you!”

Unlike before, when he was a little relaxed, he came back with a well-rounded answer.

I didn’t specifically point it out. Why are you like that?

Actually, the important thing now was not Rumia’s changed attitude. Battalion commander interview. That one word made me lose my mind.

Rumia, a member of the platoon, is struggling like this right now. Face the battalion commander?

I am also a decent military writer. No matter how much this place was Haojie’s world view, it was natural for a new second lieutenant to attend the battalion commander’s meeting.

I am also keenly aware of the fact that usually the first impression of a second lieutenant is decided at the meeting.

‘You can’t simply approach it as a game element. I have to be careful with everything I say and do from now on.’

Interaction.

The time when you could simply grasp the situation through the monitor has long since passed.

Because now I had to watch, understand, and use everyone who reacted to my words and actions.

Of course, we shouldn’t forget that we have to induce that reaction in order to get what we want.

The situation is the same now.

If you make a bad first impression with the battalion commander, after that, a terrible military life will await you.

In addition, the condition of the platoon members is not very good, so there is no need to be nice to the unit commander.

In order to clear the game smoothly, 100% cooperation from unit commanders such as battalion commanders was required.

“… ….”

“I-I’m sorry, Lieutenant Enoch. You must participate. It is a kind of ceremonial event in which all ensigns participate.”

“No, no. It’s not that he doesn’t participate…….”

I took a moment to organize my thoughts. Take a deep breath and regain your peace of mind.

Come to think of it, there is nothing difficult to think about.

About the interview with the battalion commander, he hadn’t done it many times in the army. I won’t ask you very difficult questions.

Besides, since Haojie’s world view is a deceased person, he already has a lot of knowledge, so wouldn’t he be able to respond to some extent if questions about international affairs or the military come in?

I’m not possessed by a game I don’t know, and there are probably no difficult questions to answer.

“Can I ask for guidance only to the battalion commander’s office? I’m not familiar with geography yet.”

“Ah…… ! If that’s the case, no problem!”

Luckily, Rumia readily agreed.

You shouldn’t judge a person solely on paper, but he certainly seemed to be a better person than what was written in the specifics.

“Then follow me.”

I followed Lumia’s guidance and got out of the shabby room.

Anyway, the place where my room is located seems to have been quite unmaintained for a long time. The hallways are full of dust, and there are cobwebs hanging down in the corners.

I feel like I just hurriedly cleaned my room because a new officer was coming.

It seems like I am the only tenant there.

The newly appointed Mandarin Handling is very different here and there.

“I…… Platoon commander?”

“Yes, Sergeant Rumia.”

“Did you see the personal information of our platoon?”

Of course I saw it.

When I nodded her head instead of answering, Rumia let out a sigh. Does she even know what’s written on the singularity?

Well, it’s strange that I didn’t know about it even though I wrote it openly like that.

When I reacted like that, Rumia tried to look away from her and continued her hesitation.

“That, that…… Don’t worry too much, if you submit your disagreement to the superiors.”

“That’s fine.”

“Yes?”

“Because it’s something you don’t know until you see it yourself.”

You can’t even change a platoon without the approval of the battalion commander.

And if you have good stats, there’s no reason to give up just because there’s something strange about it.

As I said before, I haven’t even opened the stats window yet, so I can’t judge the lever’s performance.

Even if the sum of the basic stats exceeds 3 million, it is still at a fairly good level. In addition, there was a possibility that various characteristics could cause synergy.

“If you don’t see it yourself, you won’t know…… La.”

Rumia muttered something, but I ignored it. As soon as I passed through her entrance, a grand Western-style building appeared in front of me.

A long rectangular gray brick building. The roof is finished with red paint applied along the slope, giving off a European-style architectural feel.

I turned my head and looked at the building where the inn was located. A wooden structure completely different from a brick one.

To be honest, if I kicked the wall as hard as I could, I felt like it would collapse at any moment.

‘Write… ….’

Feeling the difference in person is truly bittersweet. I licked my lips and asked Rumia.

“Is the battalion commander’s office in there?”

“Yes!? Ah yes, that’s right. It is the headquarters building.

Ah, was it the headquarters?

Then I admit it. Not just lodging, but various offices as well.

I nodded and answered Rumia.

“I think this guide will be fine.”

“Yes, I understand. By the way, the second floor is the battalion commander’s office!”

“Thank you, sergeant.”

“Glory to the Fatherland.”

Chuck. Rumia brought her legs together and placed her right hand on her chest, bowing her head lightly.

It was a moderate move.

I immediately recognized that the act was a salute here, and accepted the salute in the same way. It’s pretty simple and I was able to follow it without difficulty.

‘You didn’t even know how to salute. If we met without knowing this, we would have been in big trouble.’

A new platoon commander who is standing still even after seeing the battalion commander. It is cheap to hear that the platoon is the platoon commander.

‘That’s absolutely not enough.’

My goal is to save this stupid country from the world war that will happen five years later, and then return to reality in style.

I have no intention of putting it wrong in the first place to achieve it.

‘I have to lose money first.’

I left Lumia, who was standing still, looking at me, and stepped into her headquarters building.
