The chaos at the front lines causes a friendly fire incident, the Reich’s artillery bombarded the SCG's position. The General Staff has concluded that international law does not protect them, and because there is no private property (all property belongs to the state) and the Union is an atheist state, all buildings are fair targets in this war. Because the Union had not signed a number of international treaties, and because the Union is a communist country the Reich’s forces have no legal restrictions on attacking and blowing up civilian or religious buildings. Tanya shows him the war in the Eastern Front. The Union forces have come out of their defensive positions, so now is the perfect opportunity for a counterattack.Ĭol Calandro arrives at the Eastern Front. Rudersdorf believes that the only way out is for one final offensive. Zettour believes that Union offensive is part of their negotiations for a ceasefire. Zettour explains that the supplies are at their limit because the Union offensive destroyed much of the Reich’s supplies stockpiled at the front. In the capital Rudersdorf and Zettour are debating what to do next. Lehrgen explains the Reich’s position: reparations, territory, and a ceasefire with a plebiscite among the people in the occupied territories. Gusman explains that the Union wants no reparations, no ceding of territory, an unconditional ceasefire. Lehrgen has arrived at Ildoa and begins negotiations with General Igor Gusman. The Union has a new computational jewel called the T3476.Ĭhapter III: Effort with a plan Spoiler The 203rd defeats them, but Tanya realizes ordinary mages of the Reich will have a tough time dealing with them. Their weakness is their speed and maneuverability. It turns out that the Union has new computational jewels that have incredibly strong armor and fire power. When the 203rd arrive they see that the Imperial mages on the right flank is in chaos.
For starters can get more coffee, chocolates, and socks.Īfter Lehrgen leaves, the SCG encounters another battle. The only problem is that all the military accomplishments of the SCG will technically fall under Lehrgen’s name. She also realizes that if anything goes wrong, she can blame Lehrgen. They solve the disagreement by agreeing that Tanya will be the effective commander and will get extra supplies. Lehrgen quips that she didn’t earn the nickname from shedding friendly blood but Tanya retorts are all life, friend or foe, is technically equal. She points out that she’s now called Rusted Silver and that the SCG will be in battle a lot.
Tanya is for the ceasefire but doesn’t want to host Calandro. In turn Lehrgen and others who on paper is in the Lehrgen Combat Group will be going to Ildoa on a secret mission to discuss ceasefire terms. The General Staff created a paper combat group called the Lehrgen Mobile Combat Group, that includes the SCG as its component, to host Col Calandro and show him the Eastern Front. He wants Tanya to host a military officer from the Kingdom of Ildoa as an observer, namely Col Virginio Calandro. Lehrgen explains to Tanya that he came to ask for a favor. The 203rd can win, but just barely against these tanks.
Tanya explains the situation and that the enemy also has new model tanks with extremely thick armor. The implications terrify her.Ĭol Lehrgen shows up to meet Tanya. Also after defeating the enemy and looking over the abandoned enemy tanks, Tanya recognizes UK tanks and tanks from a neutral country (presumably the US). There she finds that the enemy artillery position is filled with lots of anti-aircraft guns and that they are using timed fuses making them far more dangerous than before. When Union forces attack, the 203rd goes out to attack the enemy.
The SCG is defending a section of the Eastern Front. The story of the Lehrgen Combat Group is picked up by a future historian of 1976. She used to think of herself as a pacifistic liberal democrat who longed for the war to be over. Tanya is shocked because she is now thinking that fighting a war is normal. The Union forces keep attacking and the Eastern Front weakens. She also has a new nickname “Rusted Silver” from all the blood that she has spilled. Tanya and her battalion engages the enemy to slow the advance. Unfortunately, the Reich is suffering a major attack from Union forces and its army in disarray. Tanya and the 203rd aerial mage battalion has arrived at the Eastern Front. Will she be able to have a day off once in a month?įull Summary Chapter I: Disarray Spoiler Tanya is being sent once again to the frontline. But the citizens want the war to continue.
