Summary
Recon team found MNF (Multi National Forces) follow-up columns moving up to the front behind enemy lines, along with a MNF aircraft on its force landing. Yet, none of these could be reported back due to the comms are down. Prapor and Julius revealed the recon group's true mission to others: Link up with undercover agent "alloy".

[The 501st BRM-1K Starts revesing]
Sylvia We've spotted a large number of enemy armored vehicles we've run into enemy reserves!
Prapor It seems so.
Julius Our tactical airstrikes don't seem to have caused them much damage.
Prapor Our firepower preparations have been designed to avoid residential areas as much as possible, so it's inevitable that some will slip through the net.
Erika Our firepower preparations have been designed to avoid residential areas as much as possible, so it's inevitable that some will slip through the net.
Erika Why do we need to control civilian casualty? They launch nukes at us.
Sylvia ….What we are doing is right, we shouldn't lower our morality to the same level as our enemy.
Julius The enemy neither deployed nor switched to defense; they seemed to still intend to advance eastward, so their intentions were quite clear.
Prapor MNF didn't give up their advancing plan. They will soon launch next attack
Hannah Don’t our preparatory fires wake them up? Our attack is about to hit them and they still wanna advance?
Julius Maybe they think attacking is the best form of defence.
Julius Just like Operation Fortress (Operation Fortress / Battle of Kursk), the enemy was also subjected to a barrage of artillery fire. Knowing that the plan had been leaked, they still launched an attack step by step.
Sylvia However, during Operation Fortress (Operation Fortress / Battle of Kursk), the enemy prepared a large number of new weapons, which boosted their confidence.
Julius Our next step is to conduct reconnaissance of the Territorial Reserve Forces. Does everyone understand what to do?
Erika I know! At this time, we should find cover for the vehicle and conduct a short reconnaissance stop.
Julius On the contrary, we conceal our vehicle in the woods, turn off the engine, then conduct the recon on foot.
Erika Sigh, but it's standard reconnaissance procedure...
Prapor Standard procedures are outdated; if we drive close to the enemy, they will detect us with their the Thermal imagers.
[Scene changes to a town where shmakaldem troops are stationed]
[A convoy of Leopard 2A4 passes through the town]
Erika But isn't thermal imaging a night vision device? It's daytime now.
[The camera zooms in on Felice talking With a male vespuccian officer and a Shmakaldem soldier]
Erika This woman who sells her smiles is shameless; these Vespuccian officers must all have wives.
Sylvia Why speculate about someone's identity with malice?
Erika Malice how?, that's just how Schmalkalden woman is, usually covering themself but wear cleavage when meeting occupation force
Sylvia Our Western fellow isn't groveling like what you say.
Erika Sylvia always imagines Western culture to be too rosy and looks down on people who haven't gone to college, which speaks volumes.
Sylvia That's completely unfounded.
Prapor We're at war, so let's not worry about what ordinary women wear.
[The convoy of Shmakaldem tanks end,3 B1 Bomber can be seen flying overhead]
Julius It must be conducting a low-altitude penetration mission, with a deeper reach than those of tactical aircraft, and the target is likely a staging area within The Union territory.
Prapor That's the new B-1 bomber, perhaps carrying nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, Our radio's fried/dead, so we didn't have a chance to report it.
[The scene changes to bushes]
[Julius sudenly burst's out of one of the bushes and start talking]
Julius They seem to think they can win easily?
[The other member stat bursting out one by one has they speak]
Sylvia They thought they had already won, based on those nuclear weapons.
Julius Look, their farewell ceremony even includes free beer!
Hannah I really miss the little tavern in my hometown. But it was near military targets and has probably been razed to the ground. Fortunately, we still have the power of revenge.
Erika It's intolerable that these militarists only think about destroying everything beautiful.
Hannah If communications were working, we should call in frontline bombers now and blow them to smithereens.
Hannah If communications were working, we should call in frontline bombers now and blow them to smithereens.
Erika These people are busy having fun right now, so their guard must be very relaxed.
Erika Wish I could have some civilian clothes with me, I could sneak in and find out everything about this unit.
Sylvia You cannot succeed simply because you know nothing about the West.
Erika What? Don't they also speak Gothic?
Sylvia Schmalkalden's Gothic was modified by the Entente powers and is full of loanwords. You'll give yourself away after a few sentences.
Erika As long as you act boldly, no one will suspect you. On the contrary, if you hesitate and look back and forth, feeling that you are not right in this way or that way, then people will find out your true colors.
Sylvia You talk like you have a lot of experience...
Erika I once infiltrated a group of university students in a special political area as instructed, and reported their political leanings to the organization.
Erika If you are confident enough, no one will know that you didn't actually go to college.
Prapor Can any of you decipher the sequence?
[The scene changes Back to the Town's Street, this time filled by a convoy of Marder IFV]
The closest unit to us was a battalion-sized force equipped with a large number of Marder IFV's. Further away, there was another column, but it was difficult to see clearly.
Prapor Could you be more specific?
Erika Uh... the tactical designations have all been disguised and cannot be deciphered.
Julius I agree with Erika's assessment that what departed from the town was a battalion-level mechanized force, possibly a combat group based on the 82nd Panzergrenadier Battalion.
Prapor 82nd Panzergrenadier Battalion? How did you arrive at that conclusion?
Julius I remember the latest intelligence before we set off. The 6th Panzer Brigade had been reinforced with three TPz Fuchs APC equipped with nuclear, biological, and chemical reconnaissance equipment.
Julius This brigade only had one grenadier battalion equipped with a large number of Marder IFV's, which clearly matched the description.
Prapor Yes, and reinforced with two platoons of Leopard 2 tanks. The tank markings were concealed, but they were some early model of the Leopard 2, perhaps from a company of the 83rd Panzer Battalion.
Julius With additional NBC detection and all vehicles prepped for passing through radioactive areas, plus the tactical marks hidden, these indicates that they have been planning this for a long time.
Prapor So, where is the enemy's armored battalion?
Julius Judging from their marching formation, they haven't fully deployed yet, so it's difficult to make any predictions.
[A smoking A-10 sudenly passes over the town at a very low altitude]
Erika An A-10 attack aircraft, trailing thick smoke, is landing; its gotta be hit by our Anti-Air/Air defense.
Erika What a pity, why didn't we shoot it down?
Erika Judging from the way it landed, there must be an enemy airfield nearby. If only we could call in our air force to destroy it. That would be great.
Sylvia We didn't see a single one of our aircraft, and we don't know how many of them will survive a nuclear strike by the Entente forces.
Prapor The enemy will not establish air bases within the operational depth of our attack zone, as they would be easily destroyed by our tactical missiles.
Julius Perhaps they have a temporary backup airport nearby. The pilots must have been informed of some emergency landing locations before takeoff.
Julius However, most of the Entente aircraft do not have the capability to land at rudimentary airfields.
Julius Look, the plane is turning northwest; it's not far. Maybe we can find that airport.
Prapor Unfortunately, we can't assign ourselves too many tasks.
Julius Being cautious can't hurt, and that's what I keep reminding myself of.
Julius But think about it, how much strategic value would it have for us if we obtained an IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) device on the first day of the war?
Erika What is an IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) device?
Julius Let's focus on completing the main task first.
[The scene changes to the 501st near their BRM-1K Using a radio]
Prapor Otto called you last night, come in...••Otto called you last night, please reply••••The radio is still not back to normal.
Hannah EMP from the nuclear blast must have fried its internal structure.
Prapor Can you fixed it?
Hannah Not with what we have. Got some parts that need replacing. We are deep behind enemy lines; there are no friendlies with spare parts around. We're currently deep behind enemy lines, and there are no friendly forces capable of supplying spare parts.
Hannah If no equipment can be found nearby to dismantle, then we will become nothing but deaf and mute.
Prapor Yea, no radio, no mission.
Erika ….Let's just raid the enemy and get some spare parts!
Julius A brilliant idea, but we need to figure out our location first, Gefreiter Erika, bring me the map.
Julius Thankfully, the electromagnetic pulse didn't damage the compass. We're not far from the town of Dorfstein, which is crucial to our mission.
Sylvia I know that town.
Erika Have you been there?
Sylvia I haven't been there, but I've read travel guides. The traditional beer produced at the White Monastery in Daufstein is world-renowned.
Hannah My mouth is getting dry from listening to this.
Erika It's a real shame that they don't produce radio components there either.
Hannah Does the travel guide mention how many Entente troops are stationed there?
Sylvia Only the town's police station was described. The Schmalkalden police are all reservists, who would be mobilized as regular troops in wartime.
Sylvia Perhaps they have already been issued military weapons, making them a formidable enemy.
Julius We had to think of a solution, but then the radio broke down.
Erika ••••That's strange, why would the radio malfunction for no reason?
Sylvia Sigh, that's our military mobilization system. We recruit tenth-grade students into the army and cram a whole bunch of stuff into their heads.
Sylvia As a result, she ended up forgetting everything she had learned at school.
Erika What did I forget, remind me.
Erika ………It takes a lot of effort for me to be distinguished in training
Sylvia Wiping your boots shine is still far from enough, this is an era of rockets, nuclear weapons and spaceships. As what a philosopher says, an army without civilization is a foolish army.
Prapor Cut the crap, we still need to find way to get in that town
Sylvia Can't we try our luck in another spot?
Sylvia There might be defenses in the town. Not only that, it’s also not an important military target. It might not be possible to find usable radio components, either.
Julius Comrade Prapor, do you think it’s time to say the main mission objective of the 501st LRRP?
Prapor It’s time
Julius Comrades, --what I say next are top military secrets, leaking it will result in a wartime discipline trial.
Erika Wasn’t our mission……. scouting enemy reservists?
Julius Our other mission is to meet with an MFV agent called “Aloy” who is under cover in Schmalkalden. Assist her in scouting new experimental Entente weapons.
Erika Why don’t you tell us when we move?
Prapor A Gefreiter that didn't have SERE training might have slip of tongue, causing our precious undercover agent to go expose
Prapor That’s why only me and Julius know this.
Erika I just didn’t have the time to accept it, if I got opportunity to take the whatever SERE training, I will get “distinguised”
Julius Don't take the oppoutunity, ---it will affect your life after.
Hannah Whatever, I just want revenge. I can't stand someone firing nuclear weapons at our motherland. If it wasn't us holding it back, nuclear war would have already happened.
Sylvia Yea, but what if the Earth was turned into a waste land
Erika That's great, that means we won !
Sylvia ……How can you say “Great” ! If the nuclear war destroys Earth, what should we, the second generation Noxs should do?
Erika What I mean is, if Earth is destroyed, we could bring our Earth comrades to live on Nox!
Erika Everyone knows our space travel technology is way ahead of the Entente !
Erika "We live in the age of rockets, nuclear weapons, and spaceships, right? "
Erika The West can't compete with us in spacecraft, which is why they're so focused on destroying us with nuclear weapons.
Erika We do not engage in a nuclear arms race with them because we hold the future in our hands and control the path to the universe!
Sylvia …••…Isn't this too terrible?
Erika What's so terrible about it? The peace-loving people of Osterheim can go to Nox, live and thrive again, and develop into part of the great interstellar Phalanstery civilization.
Erika And these fanatic warmongers will be stuck in a nuclear winter full of radiation, facing the consequences of their own action.
Sylvia Alas, wouldn't this lead to Nox being dragged into a nuclear war as well? Is our "interstellar civilization" going to start by destroying our own home?
Julius To save our home, we must start with what's in front of us. Erika, go find some mud and cover up all our marks on the vehicle.
Prapor I think there shouldn't be any police in town, and it should be safe for us to enter, at least we won't encounter any strong resistance immediately.
Julius What is your basis for this claim?
Prapor Didn't Sylvia just say that the town's police are all reserves? The reserves in this area belong to the 859th and 860th Reserve Replenishment Battalions.
Prapor Our army had already detected these two unit numbers during the battle against the 5th Panzer Division of the National Defense Force.
Julius You think these police officers are on our territory right now, just as we are on their territory.
Prapor Yes, I think that's the case. But Captain Julius doesn't seem sure?
Julius Your logic is clear, but I think drawing a conclusion like this is somewhat……. simplistic.
Julius Was the enemy's mobilization sufficient to leave no soldiers in their hometowns?
Prapor Let me give you another reason, although it may sound a bit impractical.
Erika This isn't a flaw; we should consider things from the perspective of our superiors. We should think strategically!
Sylvia Don't gesticulate wildly while holding up mud!
Prapor What I want to say is that the Entente had been preparing for this war for a long time.
Julius Yes, the sanctions against us began after Yakovlev's death. Financial restrictions were imposed, an oil embargo was imposed, and all space cooperation projects were canceled.
Sylvia Life is tough for everyone. The stores are packed with people, but the shelves are empty.
Hannah They also evacuated a large number of residents from special political unit areas, moved in many troops, and conducted a large number of reconnaissance flights in our defense zone under the guise of air transport.
Erika These militarists, while sharpening their knives in preparation for war, were simultaneously saying things like "don't escalate regional tensions" and inciting the public to prevent Union forces from entering the front lines.
Prapor In short, the enemy's advantage on the battlefield was not without reason. They made a great decision and fully mobilized all their forces.
Prapor Their strategic approach is to go all in.
Julius The enemy has mobilized all its forces in a desperate gamble, leaving its rear vulnerable. Therefore, Prapor believed that the reservists in this small town must have also been deployed.
Prapor The entire Operation Solar Flare was based on this inference.
Erika Hmm, I didn't expect Prapor to have such a good strategic vision. But given time, I will also possess such sound judgment.
Sylvia What make you feel like you have the talent?
Hannah Be quiet, there's an enemy presence.
[The Scene changes, two shmakaldem soldier can be seen talking in front of two of their trucks]
Erika Hey, didn't they say the defense forces (Bundeswehr) had all gone to the front lines to risk everything?
Sylvia Look at their uniforms; they're not from the national defense force, but border guards (Bundesgrenzschutz). Just like our border troops (Grenzstruppen).
Erika Hmph, our border guards don't dress like Nazis!
Julius However, they all have anti-infiltration capabilities.
Sylvia Perhaps our radio call just now has given us away, and they're searching for us...
Prapor If the enemy knew we were there, they wouldn't have deployed such a small force. I imagine there were many enemy troops around us, and radio communication was very frequent, which provided us with cover.
Julius So, this is the enemy's routine grid search.
Julius Attention everyone, we will lure them to the edge of the forest and annihilate them. Remember, the key is to ensure that not a single survivor escapes.
Julius If the enemy warns the surrounding enemy forces, then our reconnaissance mission will have failed.
Julius We moved immediately after the battle; this hiding spot was no longer safe.
Prapor Beware, destroy their communication vehicle that has an antenna first, don’t let them broadcast any intel out.
Erika Understood !
Recon team found MNF (Multi National Forces) follow-up columns moving up to the front behind enemy lines, along with a MNF aircraft on its force landing. Yet, none of these could be reported back due to the comms are down. Prapor and Julius revealed the recon group's true mission to others: Link up with undercover agent "alloy".
