Chapter 98 - Magic Elements

After having a series of briefings from Govorov about the defence here, now it is time to look for a suitable target to test the weapon. Opposite of these lines, is the territory of the undead, where the Red Army is unable to step in due to different types of elements magic and damage.

"What kind of target is suitable for the vacuum imploder?"

"Mainly soft target, it was developed to counter undead-wave attack." Semyon reply.

"Where can we find a bunch of undead here?"

"That is the problem of weapon testing, it is difficult for us to find a suitable target. Even if we find it will be another problem for us to observe the results."

"I remember during the beginning of our counterattack we launched a series of ballistic and intercontinental missiles on their territory, even though most of them did not reach their destination. If we keep launching UAVs for reconnaissance, is it possible?"

"I afraid not. UAVs are not even able to enter their land for more than 5 kilometres, the whole UAV will just get destroyed into pieces due to their element's magic. I command a few operations by myself, none of them success." Govorov tells his experience.

"Didn't the library record any ways to protect from the element's magic?"

"No, it seems to be the element's magic on their territory is the reason they survive in this world. The undead empire is just like others, having time to strong and also weak. No record or ways for non-undead creatures to enter their territory." 

So, it just seems like there is no way to enter? Wait, Serina, the native of this world is here, why don't ask her whether there is any way?

Then he asked Serina who had always been treated as a transparent person.

"I have no idea, Karak has never gained that big advantage and can push the undead back to the border. But the elves did, maybe we can ask for their advice?"

Elves ...

Chernov then turned his head to Semyon.

"Two weeks later I will return here and give you the solution for the testing, if there is one, else you will have to wait for the chaos to come to test the weapon."

"I appreciate the effort Comrade General, I will be waiting for your good news. I hope we don't need to wait for that long, once we test the weapon we hope to start mass production and replace nuclear weapons in most situations. Mass uses of nuclear weapons in Land of Plain have caused quite serious damage to the weather and ecology."

Looking out at the lake, Chernov and Serina got off from his helicopter. This time, he came to the land of the orcs and the newly formed lake by Tsar Bomb. Since going to the elf's land would need to pass by here, he decided to take a look at the situation here.

The railway has not started construction yet, but at least the road is done, vehicles can move freely and fast here instead of before, where road doesn't even exist. All these were done within one month, and with the help of millions of prisoners here, it is not that challenging.

He sees the prisoner doing construction, what difference is, that they are not using mechanical devices from the USSR, but instead using their war beast.

As there is no earlier information of his coming, the one who came to welcome Chernov was just the head of this area, a commissar. Under the template, the commissar was directly under the KGB, so Chernov technically is also the supervisor of the commissar.

"Comrade General, apologize for the neglect, I didn't you that you are coming. I am Leonid Zorin, in charge of all the prisoners and civilians in this area."

"Doesn't matter, I just pass by here, why aren't the orcs using our mechanical device, I believe it is not just because they can't fit in."

"You are absolutely right about that Comrade General, another important reason is that they are using different languages with us, they can read the instructions on how to use the equipment, and it will be difficult to send so much of the equipment. So we decided to let them use what they were used to, using their war beast." Zorin reply.

Zorin's word makes Chernov more interested in what is happening here.

"Continue, have a simple briefing about what are you all doing."

"No problem Comrade General, from the order of the high command, as everyone knows, these prisoners' mission was to rebuild everything that was destroyed in the war. For now, their priority will be rebuilding the road for vehicles and railway for our intercontinental train in the future."

"We are using a similar system like in World War 2, first we categorize these prisoners, ordinary soldiers, commanders, and those who are experienced in construction. We will distribute different tasks to them, normally those who have experience are appointed to build some of the critical missions, but most likely is a repetitive mission like building the road or settlement to rest."

"They will work as labourers during the day, and at night, we have a socialist re-education camp for them, and from it, we will categorize another group, which they were our potential collaborators."

"Lastly, we also have our merit system. Those who have identified with good behaviour and work performance can enjoy improved conditions, privileges, or even early repatriation. Those who actively helped with the re-education or worked as camp administrators or translators are also included."

"I'm not sure whether Comrade General you are informed or not, but the General Staff suggest rearming the orcs using a similar template like us, of course, they will not be equipped with most of our mechanized equipment, they are not fit enough to use, but they might equip with many heavy artillery."

Listened to this, Chernov frowned, the war only ended two months before, and the General Staff already thinking of rearming them? Such a hurry.

"As you know Comrade General, there are too many threats to this place, this place is the crossroads, if only relying on the Red Army it is challenging."
