Chapter 48: The Highest Glory
Translator: Chaos Editor: Geoffrey
Within the Leray Federation, Bernadotte was a famous military institute commander, and even
amongst the many generals who had experienced the battlefields, he was considered to be quite
well-known amongst them. Especially within Miracolo Planet’s surface resistance groups, his
calm and meticulous commanding skills were well praised.
This time, [Operation Lighting], which the Supreme Headquarters had planned, had been
approved by him as well. Not only had he participated in the planning of this operation, he was
also the supreme commander responsible for all the land-based army and the land-based
aviation soldiers.
The proposed combat plan did not have any mistakes in itself; however, due to the fact that it
had been leaked, the enacted plan did not attain the required abruptness and element of
surprise, causing the enemy’s main forces to retreat from the various cities before they were
surrounded. Although the Federation seemed to have gained plenty from this operation, due to
the having spread its military power, speaking from the bigger picture, they had unknowingly
fallen into a dangerous state.
If Tian Xing Jian’s deduction had not pointed pointed out such a problem, then once the Gyaca
Woods Imperial Army finished assembling after a few days, with the Myth Legion dropping
from the air into Catosi Canyon, the dispatched Federation Army would have been like a fish
that had been nailed in the head.
Fortunately, Bernadotte was a wise commander. Seeing the deduction, he immediately
dispatched three armored divisions and two aviation battalions to Catosi Canyon to fortify its
defenses and thus enacting [Operation Ignition] overnight.
Under this order, the following changes on the enemy’s side had let Bernadotte know that this
was the right course of action.
Currently, Gyaca Woods Empire had only occupied the Banfoli Mountain Pass, putting the two
nations in a situation where they are forced to face each other again. As for looking at this from
the perspective of the overall situation, the Federation had still retained some advantages from
the previous operation. As a result, before the transport ships meant to rescue the captives from
the rear enemy lines had lifted off, he passed down the second order: Tian Xing Jian was to be
assigned to the combat planning department as a staff officer.
Seeing Tian Xing Jian once again, Bernadotte was, naturally, full of passion. This fatty was
someone who would shine after giving a mere spark. At the very least, he was still
conscientious enough to flatter these generals, portraying Bernadotte as a war god. He had also
expressed humility by saying that he was merely a small soldier under the brilliant command
of the general. If the general did not have great insights, then no matter how accurate a
deduction was, it would be useless.
The two of them were appreciating each other’s talents and considered the other person as a
worthy hero. In other words, one had insight and the other was a pearl [1].
Bernadotte gave Tian Xing Jian a smile before sitting down and asking, “First Lieutenant Tian,
according to Division Commander Zhou, the reward which you have requested for your efforts
this time is to keep everything a secret. Why is that so?”
Looking at the puzzled expressions on a few of the generals, Tian Xing Jian nodded in
embarrassment. “Contribution to the Federation is something which one must do. The true
heroes are those Federation soldiers who had been tortured and kept in the enemy’s
concentration camp. Rescuing them was merely my duty as a soldier and as a minor character.”
The moment he finished speaking, the few generals laughed. Firstly, this fatty truly knew what
to say. Secondly, the main character of the Federation government’s propaganda was placed
similarly on the prisoners-of-war and the cruel experiments conducted within the
concentration camp in order to to garner enough international attention, empathy, and support
of the masses.
Most importantly, this operation started merely on the whim and fancy of Tian Xing Jian
himself. During that situation, nobody had truly thought that he would be able to bring back
those prisoners-of-war. Only after the Federation had seen a chance of success did they place
their efforts into rescuing them, thus there were many matters better left unsaid. Fortunately,
Tian Xing Jian made the request at the most important juncture in time and asked for the
Division Commander of the 16th Division, Zhou Zhi Sen, to keep things a secret. After
negotiations, the Supreme Headquarters decided to water down the matter, preventing the
Federation government from claiming all the credit.
Right now in the Leray Federation, because of the stance taken by the Federation government
and the military as well as this mysterious company commander, the population had been
aroused passionately by this matter, and thus they exponentially increased their support for the
government and military. Such an unexpected outcome led to everyone grinning from mouth to
mouth, and at the same time, they became even more interested in this first lieutenant.
Bernadotte laughed out loud as he said, “First Lieutenant Tian, even though you requested for
things to be kept a secret, we cannot let go of the efforts you have done this time, thus the
Federation government and the military has decided to go through a serious round of
discussions before agreeing to award you with the Purple Insignia Medal of Freedom in honor
for your efforts in this resistance. Naturally, we’ll abide by your request and keep this
declaration a secret.”
Fatty was startled so much that he did not believe what he had just heard. He had to ask again
to confirm, “The Purple Insignia Medal of Freedom?”
Earning the Purple Insignia Medal of Freedom was the highest glory that any Federation soldier
could obtain! This medal represented that after retiring, he would still be taken care of by the
Federation for the rest of his life even if he did not work. It had also signified that he could
knock on the doors of the President’s Office or the Supreme Headquarters anytime he wanted
and give his opinions and recommendations for change. It also signified that any marshals or
generals who did not have a similar medal would have to first salute and express proper respect
to anyone who was an owner of this medal.
An eternal ticket to free food was definitely something that would move anyone’s heart.
Though, for Fatty, the fact that anyone would have to salute him first was something he did not
hold highly.
However, the moment Bernadotte placed the medal on his uniform and he saw the respect in
the generals’ eyes as they saluted him, that glory had even made this wretched and immature
person unable to close his gaping mouth even after he had exited the door.
The Special Scouts 1st Company, Second Platoon that had followed Tian Xing Jian were
conferred a top group award as well as an individual Class A merit. First company had similarly
been awarded a group Class B merit. The entire special scouts battalion had been promoted into
a special scouts regiment, and Nadal would always spend his time thereafter sitting somewhere
near the commando battalion, reading books or newspaper happily. The moment he stayed, he
would stay there for an entire day.
Additionally, the orders for the new assignment were also sent down to him. The unit which
Tian Xing Jian had been assigned to over a month ago remained unchanged—he was still
assigned to the combat planning department of the 6th Research Unit as the lowest ranking
staff officer.
In the forward combat planning department, other than several military cadets, the orderly
officers were all, at the very least, of the captain rank. This first lieutenant being a staff officer
had caused everyone to feel really awkward, but for Fatty, he did not mind this as much.
Whoever he saw, he would greet respectfully with a “Greetings, officer.”
The director of the 6th Research Unit was a plump-looking, middle-aged colonel called Pater.
He was over 50 years of age and gave off a friendly vibe. He had only recently taken over the
position as the 6th Research Unit Director, as the former director, Colonel Frederick, had
committed suicide after having been caught forging orders.
As a result, the moment Tian Xing Jian arrived in this research unit, he felt the atmosphere was
really strange. Whenever people from other research units saw someone from the 6th Unit,
they would give them looks of despise and wary looks. Similarly, the people from the 6th
Research Unit would seemingly not look up at them; they would just carry on with their work
lifelessly. Even during their everyday tasks, they would not really communicate to each other;
only when Pater called for a discussion on the investigation plans would they assemble, and
even then, only a few would speak.
This resulted in those sections where the 6th Research Unit was situated in to become a dull
and dark corner in the combat planning department’s main building. Nobody would willingly
come over, and the people within the unit would also rush from one point to the other by
themselves without feeling angry about this at all.
Facing such a work environment, Fatty felt strange, but he was more than happy to work in
such an environment. Firstly, it was because nobody would truly notice him, allowing him to
remain low-profile and safe. Secondly, it was convenient because the work hours were really
flexible. Pater was a really good person without any drive. As long as one finished the job
assigned to him, he would really not care about other matters.
The concrete work given to Fatty was merely for him to be responsible in certain defensive
deductions regarding the cities that were surrounded. Planning these deductions could not
truly be considered a form of work. As long as he was aware of the current situations, the
minute details, and the reliability of the data, inputting them into the computer forms was all
that he had to do. Anything after that was none of his concern, as the immense deduction would
be completed by the computer.
If one was observant, he would find out that most of the defensive plans were actually done by
other research units. The 6th Research Unit had almost become a unit that mainly dealt with
miscellaneous work.
This work was really light and relaxing. Other than going back home, the only other place Fatty
would visit was the research laboratory, where he worked in an ambiguous environment with a
beauty who had fallen in love for the first time. He would try to eat some beancurds [2] before
being tortured by a blushing beauty while progressing with the research in improving the
functions of the Battle Mechas in the lab. Afterwards, he would go back home to talk to Mei Duo
and Ni Ya on the phone at a specific time. On the phone, he would flirt with the girls before
trying to gain some mental advantages over them. For this unambitious, wretched person, it
was truly the best days of his life, as he lived life like a deity.
As the life of Fatty proceeded along this track of stability, the online war simulation started to
have some disturbances once again.
