I Got Reincarnated And Mistaken As A Genius?

Author Notes: I need to improve the content so I will revise the story.

—- Arakawa Kouki Point of View —-

The attack of New World has began. The vicinity of the old Moscow station shakes and I can hear the sound of the enemy shells when it hit the ground. If the report from the Information Team is correct, there should be a considerable number of power suit in the vicinity but are we going to be alright? No, how are we going to fight defensively if there are no communication from each squad? My expression must have shown how worried I was, Captain Yurya spoke to me.

“Volga, I believe your father is a colonel. Did you learn anything about modern warfare?”

“Ma~ You see… I experienced modern warfare where power suits are used as the main force. I participate in that battle not that long ago”

“Fumu. Then, before you are born, around 150 years ago when there are no power suits. Do you know how battles are fought?”

150 years ago is similar to the world before I die, or maybe she wants to ask about the 150 years ago of “this world”? Ma~ since both don’t have power suits at that time, I’ll use my previous life as reference…

“I think they will use overwhelming Air Force to take air supremacy. Then the ground troops who received air support will occupy important targets”

“Fun, you got 70 points for that. You have to include all kind of units in that equation like the navy but let’s leave it as is for now. Now then, the next question. How does a nation fight against a country with overwhelming strength?”

I cannot figure out what the Captain wants to say. Overwhelming difference in national strength? I guess they have no choice but to do guerrilla warfare like what we are doing right now. I mean, what I want to know is not tactics and strategies but how we can communicate with other squads.

Wait a minute… Speaking of 150 years ago, there are more things not existing during that time. For example, the personal terminal that I have right now… such things does not exist in my previous life. In that era, mobile phones were more popular instead of terminals── That’s it!! So it’s something like that.

“Telephone lines…”

“This time you got a 100. As I thought, geniuses really are different. Normally, it is impossible to think about ‘phones’ in that conversation. Rather, I am amazed that a researcher like you knows about relics from that past such as telephones”

I do not know how long exactly has it been since people stop using the telephone lines. In a document that I saw before in my mom’s room, all private voice communications are transferred to the satellite network. They only leave few emergency lines around 2020. 80 Years after that, anyone in my age who knows telephones are unusual.

“Originally, I plan to ask several more questions but you already had the final answer. In our current situation, people in the Information Team are using the telephone lines that run throughout the old city. We expect that change in the situation, so you don’t have to worry. Other than that, I, myself, have something I’d like to ask”

“What is it?”

“It is about the remarks you mentioned earlier. What do you mean by Noah participating in an Interracial War?”

“I cannot tell you the details without permission from mom but I can explain the reason for Noah’s establishment”

I began to explain Noah’s true figure to the captain. That originally we are just looking for an evacuation site but the scale become bigger than planned. I also said to her that Hakone Base is not Noah’s headquarters but actually a fortress to protect the gate that leads to another world.

Ma~ they will learn all about it when they officially join Noah so knowing it right now won’t pose any problem. I continue on telling stories such as our interaction with a non-human race in the other world that we call G-88. I talked everything about the Union and the Alliance. The captain listen on my every words while having a frown in her face.

Just like before, the conversation that we did while ignoring the shells striking near the place helped calm my heart. In this crazy situation, I was able to gradually regain my calmness. Perhaps the Captain is doing this questions and conversations to calm me… Looks like I am the one being helped after all.

“I cannot believe it…”

As soon as Arakawa was finished in telling his story, I was not able to stop my self from saying those words. Even though I heard such story, the boy in front of me was smiling, have a gentle tone and don’t have an unpleasant expression. Perhaps what he said are true. If he is to tell a lie, then he would tell something more believable and more importantly right now, Arakawa is extremely calm. People who did not experience battlefield cannot speak calmly in a situation where his surroundings are being bombarded with shells. That means, everything that this young man told me are true.

“Captain, the lines are established”

Just when I thought of closing my eyes to think, one of my subordinates set up a nostalgic phone on the desk. Not good, right now I should concentrate on fighting the enemies in front of me… I collect myself and ask the Information Team to report the current situation of each squad.

“1st and 2nd Squad, no visible enemy. Currently on standby”

“Contact from Outpost Sniper Squad. They have sighted a company of enemy power suits moving to offensive position”

The Sniper Squad is about to engage in battle soon… If we manage to keep enemy’s attention away from this place, we can move into the next strategy but what about the 3rd Squad? Why did we not receive reports from them.

“Let me know the situation on the 3rd Squad!”

“Please wait a moment, I am contacting them right now. The 3rd Squad is in combat with enemy power suits! Since the size of the force is of platoon, they are feigning withdrawal to explosion point 1-3 just as planned”

As expected, the idiots fell for it… keep on chasing them and that will be your end. Power suits can’t be destroyed using ordinary explosives but we can blow the subway to crush them with rubble and make them immobilize. For now, while enemy haven’t noticed our strategy yet, we must diligently cut down as many enemy forces as possible. It’s about time I give command about the helicopters…

“Prepare the helicopter! Listen, make sure it looks like we are protecting it. We have no use to it but we should disguise as if it is valuable. Naturally, surround it with plenty of explosives”

“Roger that!”

Yoshi Yoshi…. Somehow, we are still in control of the battlefield. Now, we just have to find the right time to let Arakawa escape. By the way, he suddenly became quiet. I wonder what’s up? I look for him with my eyes while being worried. I saw hime seriously looking at a pamphlet that must have dropped in the station.

“What happened?”

“….Operation High Jump. The Third German Empire── No, No way”

“──what are you talking about?”

Arakawa looked back to me and asked with a panic expression.

“Captain, is the US of ‘this world’ send troops to Antarctica after 1940’s? It can either be official or in secret”

“Did you say Antarctica? If my memory serves me right, they sent soldiers there in 1948 and 1951. I remember 1951 was kept in secret”

“What’s the scale?”

“I do not know the details but it was on the record that a large military force that includes multiple aircraft carriers being sent out. What’s wrong with that?”

“Please wait a moment. I am still organizing it myself. I have another question… Mom will probably ask UN forces to rescue us. Several countries will probably do so to gain favor with Noah. In that case, the main force will be──”

“The US Army”

When I answer, Arakawa closed his eyes and seems to be desperately thinking about something. In the meantime, reports from different squads are coming in. It seems that our situation is quite advantageous. It wouldn’t be strange to see our actions here to be printed out in tactic books since we are doing pretty well in fighting power suits. It was about 5 minutes or so, Arakawa opened his mouth as if being certain of something.

“Captain, it’s impossible to escape. perhaps… no, without a doubt. We will be killed”

“───What do you mean?”

Without being scared even though I glare at him, the genius in front of me began to speak his reason. I finally understood… the reason why the guy in front of me is called a “monster”───
