3rd POV
Now it was a victory of St. Antonio Maria Claret Academy, Anzio High and Maginot Girls' as all side are helping on towing and fixing the tanks and it was the all be done of St. Antonio Maria Claret Academy, as a gesture of good faith for now most of the commanders of all the five school are on the M3 Lee while most of the crew are on duty on the tanks and the only left is Bronya and Jude as he makes warm drinks for the commanders
Katyusha:Ahh~~ I the great, Katsyusha, thank you for this
While the others nodded as Jude saw Éclair was awed at him while the M3 Stuarts and M3 Lee were underpower on it's own but for Jude he knows how to use underpowered tanks since the one thing that Jude count on and it was the speed of the tanks while she got reports that a few SOUMA's got a few kills, from the reports that he advice that to use the speed and hit at the side of tanks, if the opponents are not using Britain tanks or rather the heavy tanks, sure there are parts of those tanks have weakness but a few of them, the targets of those tanks are small
Jude POV
I guess Anzio High and Maginot Girls' got notes of how we operate and how will they change their tactics in the future match
Darjeeling:So commander, that was a nice battle while we are on another tanks than our own tanks.
Mika:It's a cozy in a way while the spacing of the M3 Lee it's similar to the BT – 42
Now to think about it, it was true since the Lee it's based on the M2 Medium tank
Darjeeling:I didn't expect to share a tank with you all,
Mika:Neither did I, but life is full of supriese, do you think
Jude:Indeed since that's the way of life, as it moves forward and an unexpected event will land in our lap and from there we start to wonder and think of what are we going to do there
Now all of the commanders are looking at me and smiled.
Darjeeling:So Jude how did you feel during this battle
Jude:Well I had to rack most of my brain a ton since my school has no doctrine while on the current era that we are based on speed, mobile and lethal firepower today as so I just used what I have learned and what I have on hand as to come and go
Now I saw them really smiled while I know on the current Philippines that they need the need for mobile, lethal firepower for the Armor Division, supporting both internal security and external defense, while on the world war two era they did using US doctrine since Philippines has only infantry doctrine but incorporate it to tank mobilization
Mika:That's what make Sensha-do interesting, it's not just about who has the biggest tank on their side nor the best gunner but whose who can adapt better on the field
Darjeeling:I must admit that your strategies were a challenge for us, since we assumited that you will make a two way prolong fight as we have seen on the last two years
Well I did do prolong fights since back then, Team B's were best on prolong fights and there are times that I was made flag for Kuromonine, I saw a few plucks on Mika's instrument
Mika:Patience is a virtue, but adaptability is the key to survival, but I suppose both were tested on this day
Jude:That's a good way on thinking Commander Mika and instrument
Mika:Thank you Jude
Now I felt a tap to turn to see it's Bronya
Jude:What's up
Bronya:The Bronya got a update that all crew of all school have taken shelter
Jude:Thanks Bronya and can you update them to take a rest as well
Bronya just nodded and I go back to them
Éclair:So, Commander Jude, about your tanks, do you need an upgrade
Jude:Well Commander Éclair –
Éclair:Please, call me Éclair Commander Tsukihime
Jude:Well then, you can call me on my first name Commander Éclair, back as I was saying, my school is on negotiating with Sunders for buying Shermans and if you want Commander Éclair I can help out on buying a new tank for you
Éclair:That's sweet Commander Jude but we can pass on that
Jude:But my offer is still on the table
I saw her nodded and for Anzio, I saw Chiyomi cross her arms and looks at the side while the other really smiled at this but for some reason that I feel something really… I don't know what word I want to say but in a few moments I saw Katyusha is siting on my lap, I wounder what the girls are thinking since I met Mika and Darjeeling a few times when I was on Kuromonine
3rd POV
Meanwhile back on the school's main hall we can see the cook club and as well the the school's sensha-do team are readying while the visitors are on resting and warming up, while the Anzio delegation wants to help up with them but they insisted as so the food and drinks it's a mix of west and east food place on the table and the whole venue it's like a fiesta already while Kiana was about to get some Ramen but Mei stop her as members of St. Antonio Maria Claret Academy are talking with Maginot Girls members while there are some of the other girls are enjoying the drinks as there are drinking tea or warm chocolate as everyone is enjoying one after another in a few moments the doors open to see on the center it's Jude besides him is Anchovy, Darjeeling, Éclair, Mika and Katyusha as Fondue looked at her Commander as she is inlove with Jude as she too was inlove and For Roseship she looked at the five Commander while each members of the five school are gossiping about Jude and shipping the commanders of the girls school while girls like from Team B's Notable members, Kiana, Mei, Himiko Murata, Bronya, Seele and Sheele Vollerei, Theresa Apocalypse, Fu Hua, Wendy Maekawa and Griseo Hina while they know that Miho and Maho but most of the girls around that time they are on a race along side with Erika back then while the notable members of Team B are racing to get Jude's love but for now they will stand by
On a Commander round table we can see all of the commanders talking about their school, tactics and there are times they are sharing some tips as Katyusha really like what Jude said to applied Morden tactics and World war 2 tactics, for Éclair she was writing down the tips and lessons since they are making the future Saint-Cyr style strategy while it was inspired by Napoleon's cavalry tactics but she starts to adapt Jude's tactics to adopt of what she has on hand
Mika:Wow, I never imaged that you have a lot of Ideas of tactics, I guess the rumors about you reading a lot of history and tactics, it's true
Jude:Yeah, I got wind about that Mika-chan
While with Darjeeling she was drinking a Darjeeling tea, as she looks at Jude since it's been a few years that she met him on one of the battle as she remembers that she lead Team B as the nickname of the Team B of Kuromonine was the, Der Jägers des schwarzen Panzers or The Black Tank hunters back then since they are the fearsome on that team, Jude was the commander of Team B, Co-Commander is Ether, Miho, Maho or Mei and there are times that Miho or Maho took command Der Jägers des schwarzen Panzers
Now for Katyusha, she goes to Jude and tug him, as Jude felt a tug and turn on his right to see Katyusha as Jude didn't have a few Ideas but something pops in mind in a flash of a moments Jude gave Katyusha a piggyback
Jude:Why did this goes in mind of mine, I mean if I recall on the manga Of Motto Love love Sakunen Desu Nonna really followed and captured every cute moments of Katyusha
Jude POV
With a quick look at Nonna as looked at her for a moment I saw small flash and it was hidden on her sleeves and oh boy she's going to kill me as I look up at Katyusha
Jude:You want me to draw you Lady Katyusha
As I saw the sparkle of Katyusha's eyes, she nodded as I start to move around and the song goes playing the "La Victoire est à Nous" since it's kinda ironic that I used the words La Victoire est à Nous for a signal as so I saw Maginot Girls' are humming on the song and start on commenting about the song since the song that Erwin Music from my old world made that and I recreate the song of the user since I really liked the songs and played them when I played War Thunder as I saw Éclair going towards me and she stopped a few meters away as she looked up
Éclair: J'ai adoré la chanson Jude, et je t'aime < I loved the song Jude, and I love you >
Now I bushed right now since I can understand and speak French but Éclair put a finger on my lip and smiled
Éclair: Ne répondez pas pour l'instant, je peux attendre votre réponse. < Don't answer for now, I can wait for your answer >
What just happen, as I saw Éclair goes to her team while right now all of us are having fun until we are asleep
Timeskip
As on the next day, all of the schools are already back on their carriers and heading on another port or home while for me, well I got a call from my mom that I need to go to the office while thinking back then on that time
Flashback
As I start to wake up and I feel something on my limbs but I can't move as I start to opening my eyes and to see Kiana and Mei on my chest laying down, I guess no matter what we can't remove this hobbit of their and I don't know why did they want to lay down on me since they got their own room but it didn't explain why I can't move as I look on my side to see it's Mika and on my right it's Éclair while I saw Katyusha and oh great I bet most of the commanders here are on my bed and I look at the other side to see il Duce Anchovy, Carpaccio and Pepperoni, I mean I can understand both Anchovy and Pepperoni but Carpaccio I don't since I didn't met her along time ago now the door of mine was open and to see my second in command
Mei:Sir, your mother called you––
Now Mei saw my dorm as she was shock and dropping a mug and it was my lucky mug
Mei:Kya!!!!!!
As she ran away making the others awake as I look around and to see Darjeeling drinking
Darjeeling:Did you know this proverb "It is best to always be honest and tell the truth. By doing so, you will win the trust and respect of others." Oh and good morning Sir Jude
Yeah I know but I didn't know why you girls are on my room
Flashback end
From that time everyone didn't want to tell me the answer but that time when Mei just go Kya Nonna followed up on my room and took a lot of pictures and she just smiled at me and the time I got out I saw Klara too.
Now I infront of my mom's office and open it to see Kei and Naomi and I looked where mom is at and to see dad is there too I guess they will handle the deal but my dad guide me to sit besides him as so I did
Dad:Jude, you're going to lead on this
Jude:I see
What the fuck, I mean, know what forget it since I too need to do this as so I saw Kei and Naomi sit down infront of me
Kei:Yaho, Jude
Jude:It's been a while Commander Key
Kei:Yeah it's been awhile but you can call me Key
Jude:So shall we begin on the deal
Kei:Hm, So you want buy out three company of M4 Shermans
Jude:Not just plain M4s but we need variants of M4A3 (76) W, M4A2 Sherman and one M4A3E2 (76) W Sherman
Now I saw Kei is thinking since the M4 was the best seller and all
Kei:So what's the offer
Now to thinking about the offer since the last check on my bank account it's near a hundred US dollars since I got 2% of the share of Gaijin entertament and as well my Youtube since I did made songs from tanks and ships
Jude:Around 50 to 80 thousand US, can we do that
Now that made shock abit I mean from the looks of this mom and dad wanted me to deal things like this on my own too
Jude:If it's small for you I can
Kei:No Jude it's a great deal for us while we have a ton of Sherman and it's variants while for the Jumbo well we are going to check on our inventory and all if we have one on hand
Jude:Thank you Kei as for the Payment, I ready it for you in a jiff
Now I stood up and shook her hand and escorting them out as I need to go onto a bank and withdraw cash
Timeskip
I already did gave them the cash and they are grateful on that. On the next week we saw three company of Sherman and leading them it's the Jumbo as it already at the tank hanger of ours and all of the Tank Commanders are paining the school emblem and their own coat of arms as for me I took the 3rd Mechanized Infantry (Makatarungan) Battalion coat of arms. In contrast, Iooked at my mates I saw there using their personal or cute coat of arms and symbols and for the list on division are:
Jude (Able Lead) –– Abe Division
Mei (Baker Lead) –– Baker Division
Himeko (Easy Lead) –– Easy Division
I started to share this list to others as they need to remember what division they are and now opening up my phone and to see I got time for practice on using the tanks while there are first years are joining up as they will use a mix of M4's, Stuarts and the remaining M3 Lee.
Jude:Alright people, Panzer Vor
Now everyone is running towards their own tanks for practice, and now I wonder what kind of path will come in my road since next year, Miho is joining Oarai
