Chapter 42 : The Soviet Invasion of Parpaldia (Soviet-Parpaldian War 8)

Central Calendar Day 1 Month 3 1640 (2025)
Soviet Union, somewhere in Siberia, a reactivated Gulag

Special Class A Dragon Knight Reckmeyer of the Papaldia Empire's imperial oversight army learned to read Russian to a certain degree after spending so much time reading Soviet newspapers

The new Gulag only got newspapers every once in a while; the one he was reading that day featured articles about the Soviet Union and the Parpaldia Empire, as well as the latest announcements from the governments of other countries and the New Comintern Pact. After the Naval Battle of Fenn, the number of prisoners jumped up to 2,000, including someone who was aboard the 120-gun ship-of-the-line Pall, commanded from there, fought against Soviet warships, then was thrown out to sea when the Pall sunk: the empire's General Cius.

Reckmeyer was reading a newspaper, and General Cius was seated next to him

It was a rather comical sight

Reckmeyer just read silently. Depending on the severity of the news, his expression would become grim, his brow would scrunch up, sweat would trickle down his face, and his fingers would start to shake. This had happened only once before, but this time his face became pale

Cius: What is it? Reckmeyer, what's written there? Come on, tell me

Having warred with the Soviet Union face to face and experienced with his body the might of the Soviet forces, General Cius had a bad premonition

Reckmeyer: Hooh... hooh... General Cius, stay calm and listen carefully

Cius: Yes, yes!

Reckmeyer: First, the Soviet Union attacked Altarus and wiped out all imperial forces stationed there. The Kingdom of Altarus, now called Socialist People's Republic of Altarus was freed from the empire with the help from the Soviet Army

Cius: I knew it... I expected that would happen

Reckmeyer: After reclaiming Altarus, they renovated Mu's base in Altarus and used it to launch an attack directly on the homeland

Cius: Goodness! Even the homeland? How did the empire respond? The homeland's defense is unparalleled

Reckmeyer: Right. The empire sent the main navy to face a Soviet "1st Khrushchev Carrier Battle Group" and for Soviet aerial forces, they completed those wyvern overlords that were still being tested before, got them battle ready, and deployed them to fight in the air

Cius: So, what was the result?

Reckmeyer: ...The main navy was annihilated, and the Esthirant base was destroyed by an attack from the air

Cius was speechless; the damage far surpassed his predictions

Reckmeyer: ...Even worse, they attacked the base and factories in Duro and wiped them out, too

Cius: Wha...

Sweat began to bead on Cius's forehead

Reckmeyer: Since the capital's defenses had been weakened, the empire recalled the governing board armies in all the territories. At the same time, General Secretary Lumiess of Socialist People's Republic of Altarus began instigating revolts. All the territories ended up revolting at the same time, and we lost control of them all

Cius: Preposterous!!! That's not something she could accomplish by herself, just because she's also from a country outside the civilized areas. Soviet Union... they're far too strong! How did she do it?!

Reckmeyer: Finally, all the territories with the help from Soviet military formed an alliance, declared war on the empire, and captured Arunie

Cius: That's not possible! Something's wrong there. There's no way those territories could defeat the empire!!!
