[MILSTORY] Girls und Panzer in der Welt
Chapter I: Look Who's Come in The Afternoon
Miho Nishizumi looks anxiously on the unfamiliar terrain below her positions. All the landscape, trees, rocks, water, even the gust of the wind is somewhat different from what she use to know, or experience. Different on tastes, smells, sights, feels, and somehow she felt that her senses numb a little bit. For a moment, she doesn’t know whether she still in this world she knows, or has she enter another uncharted dimension somewhere far. There’s one thing that put her sanity in check, the roaring sound of tanks not far behind her, and...
“Nishizumi-dono,” Yukari call her gently.
Miho turn her head and look on Yukari Akiyama in yet, unfamiliar uniform, but the important thing is the person behind that uniform.
“Have you spotted them?” asks Yukari
“Nope, and having this unfamiliar terrain is somewhat disadvantageous for us,” reply Miho.
“They would have to march out soon enough, there’s not much place to hide here, and they can’t hide forever,”
Miho nods in silence, and as if Yukari has predicted it, some dusty dots spotted in the distance. Miho raised her binocular and observe, to find that those dots are a Chi-Ha Shinhoto followed by 4 BT-5s.
“Speak of the devil,” Yukari remarks, “but where is the rest of their forces?”
“Waiting for us somewhere,” says Miho, “though we only need to disable that Chi-Ha and the match is done,”
“Will that be an easy task, Nishizumi-dono?”
“Easy to said, yes, and very very complicated to be carried out,” says Miho, “come on, Yukari-san, we must go back to the tank,”
Yukari saluted and both of the girls run back to the tank that wait for them not far from there. With less trouble, they climbed to board their tank, an M4A3E8 Sherman HVSS nicknamed “Easy Eight”.
Wait! A Sherman??? What happened to Anglerfish Team’s tank, Panzer IV Ausf.H?
The answer would require us to go back in time, a month from now. Where Ooarai Girls Academy got visited by a familiar face after an afternoon sensha-do practice.
One Month Earlier
Ooarai Girls Academy’s Carrier
The Zuikaku
This is the new beginning for Ooarai Girls Academy’s sensha-do team, since some of their current players has already graduated and went to college. Anzu Kadotani, Momo Kawashima, Yuzu Koyama, Midoriko Sono, Piyotan, Satoko Nakajima, Suzuki, Hoshino, and Tsuchiya is no longer in the team. This made the Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer and The Porsche Tiger lost their crews entirely, while Type-3 Chi-Nu and Renault Char B1 have to struggle with only two members each. For now, only The Porsche Tiger has had their new crews, the next generation of Automobile Club members led by Satomi Tachikawa. And due to the newfound popularity among sensha-do team, now there are a lot of first and second years students choose sensha-do as their elective.
Aside from that, sensha-do team currently has new members in the commanding and training rank. Azusa Sawa from Rabbit Team and Noriko Isobe from Duck Team are now assuming the position of vice-commanders, assisting Miho Nishizumi as overall-commander and in-charge of any affairs should she absent. Miho also appoint some person for trainer positions for the newly cadets of sensha-do. Mako Reizei of Anglerfish Team and Shinobu Kawanishi of Duck Team are in charge of driving training, Saemonza and Caesar of Hippo Team, Nozomi Konparu from Mallard Team, and Akebi Sasaki of Duck Team are in charge of gunnery training, and Erwin of Hippo Team, Nekonya of Anteater Team, and Ogin of Shark Team in charge of formation and tactics training. Due to the fact that they now have a whole bunch of newbies, even more unexperienced than when the first time Rabbit Team came, Miho decide that it’s essential to have training and commanding structures like what she had during her time in Kuromorimine, so that the newbies could be ready to be incorporated in Ooarai’s line-up during the next tournament, which will be difficult since everyone will one eyeing Ooarai as reigning champion.
This, however, doesn’t come with ease. During first few practices, even Azusa and Noriko still find it difficult to act like an overall vice-commander. Both girls sighed that this position is much more demanding than their current position as tank commander, but they have to keep up, motivated by their commander, Miho Nishizumi, which made commanding an entire sensha-do team seems natural and easy. So does what other trainers had during their first few practices. The newbies are still very green and can’t even do things correctly, much to the frustration of their trainers, since they too are struggling with their programs. As usual, Miho always smile and encouraging her comrades that they will find the way and everything’s gonna be okay.
And it really does. This afternoon practices showed a quite satisfactory results by the newbies in all training regimes. Still far from perfect, but satisfactory indeed. At least now everyone can breathe in relief. Miho always said that no need to rush things, since the newbies will blossoms when the time come, and that is one thing everybody held onto, since nobody forget where they are then, when they first started this, an unconvincing rag-tag team being looked down and underestimated by everyone.
“Everyone, you’re doing a great job today!” said Miho closing this afternoon practice, “now, say thanks!”
“Thank you very much!” said everyone while bowing to each other.
All the newbies then dismissed, some of them stay to help their senpais cleaning up the hangar after practices. Recently, Ooarai got 4 M3A3 Stuart Light Tanks and 5 Panzer IIIs for the purpose of training the members, which since now has gotten larger in number.
Miho stayed a while in the hangar and supervise everything here, well, she actually waits for Saori Takebe and the other members to go to onsen together, when a newbie member named Miyu-chan come to her.
“What is it, Miyu-chan?” Miho asked.
“I’m sorry, Taichou, but there’re two women wanted to see you, they’re from Federation,”
“Federation? Who’ll those be?”
“I brought them here, I hope you don’t mind,”
“Miho-ojou!”
That voice is very familiar in Miho’s ear, one of the softest and friendliest voice she ever heard from her past life. Then two figures enters the hangar’s gate. One is a mature woman with Japanese yukata attire and paper umbrella. Miho recognized her as Kikuyo, once a chamberlain of Nishizumi’s household but currently worked at Japan Sensha-do Federation as talent scout. The other one is a well-built lady with military officer’s uniform. She is Ami Chouno, known for being instructor of Ooarai’s sensha-do team in the earliest days when Anzu Kadotani desperately revived it.
“Kikuyo-san, Chouno-sama?”
“Long time no see, Miho-ojou,” Kikuyo smiled.
A few moments later, Miho seems startled with what Kikuyo and Ami Chouno told her. Not just Miho, but also everyone in Student Council Room, including all tank commanders.
“National Team?” Miho asked.
“For U-18, to be precise,” said Ami Chouno, “and Ooarai will be the core team,”
“Doesn’t the Japanese Sensha-do National Team has already been formed?”
“For adult team and U-21 team, yes, but not for U-18 team; and we need it since World Sensha-do Federation is about to participate in the U-18 World Championship,”
“Japan Sensha-do Federation and Japan High School Sensha-do Federation has to reschedule the National Tournament for this event, since some of the top players is no longer eligible for the Championship, we need to build this team fast,” said Kikuyo.
“China, South Korea, and Russia has already build their team for the competition, we are a little bit behind on this matter,” said Ami Chouno.
“So, the Commemorative Cup earlier is for...” said Saori.
“Yes, as a means to get decent players for the U-18 Sensha-do National Team; that and plus some players I’ve scouted,” said Kikuyo, “Chouno-sama here will be the Supreme Commander, and we expected that Miho-ojou would be Field Commander,”
This is the most shocking news Miho ever heard. To be a Field Commander, basically captaining the entire U-18 National Team. Even the magnitude of it is, for Miho, simply unimaginable. And for a moment, she has lost her words.
“So, how many tanks will be participated in the World Championship?” Saori taking over the conversation while Miho still stunned.
“All-in-all, 30 tanks, consist of 10 medium tanks, 10 heavy tanks, 5 light tanks, and 5 tank destroyers. Federation will, of course, provide you all with the selected tanks out of Federation’s armory,”
“Federation’s supply?” asked Hana.
“What are those tank consists of, Instructor Chouno?” asked Yukari.
“Medium tank battalion will be using M4A3E8 ‘Easy Eight’ Sherman HVSS, Heavy tank battalion will be using PzKpfW VI Tiger Is, Light tank company will be having Crusader IIIs, and Tank destroyer company use SU-100,”
“Oh my God!! What a tank!!” Yukari got blushed and fly away with excitement.
“Great, now we have to train to use an entirely different tank,” grudged Mako.
“What about the rest of the players?” asked Miho, who has been recovered from her stun, “have you asked them about commanders position?”
“Actually, we did, and we all agreed that you will be the best choice for the field commander position, that, since Alice Shimada will be commanding U-21 National Team,”
“By the way, who are the other players?”
“For that, I think you’d better come to the Federation’s Carrier ‘Shinano’ that will be departed from Nagasaki, 3 weeks from today,”
“Departed? Where do you want to go?” asked Miho.
“You mean where do WE want to go?” Ami Chouno smiled, “Chinese Sensha-do National Team has asked us for a friendly match, we must be at Tianjin, a month from now,”
This is shocking to everyone there.
“Tianjin? China?” asked Azusa.
“This fast??” asked Yukari.
“See you there,” Ami Chouno winked.
“Wait! Don’t you think you have to wait for us to give you answer, first??” asked Saori irritated.
