Chapter 15: EMBARRASSING SITUATION AND A PROMOTION
[MC POV]
After defeating the enemy troops and talking with the traitor, I began to survey the area physically since I do not want any lapse to happen under my watch. Currently, I am roaming in the jungle region to see the injured soldiers and to boost their morale.
"How is the healing of the soldiers going colonel?."
"Sir, it is going fine, and thank God it was just some light injuries and nothing serious."
"They are our heroes, so take better care of them."
"We will do our best to heal them in the shortest period of time."
"Very well, now tell me about our current situation."
"Sir, we gave the enemy a crushing defeat; we only suffered some light injuries while the enemy soldiers were nearly annihilated."
"Why nearly and not completely colonel?."
"Sir, that is because some of the troops surrendered, making them prisoners of war, and that's why they now come under Geneva Convention, so we were unable to do anything to them."
"Well then make sure nothing happens to them while they are in our care. I do not want to see any human rights activist knocking on my door or a warrant being released against me by the International Court of Justice for this. Also, how many are they?."
"Sir, they are two thousand troops, and about their care, you do not have to worry about it since I will make sure nothing happens to them."
"Very well, colonel, then make a detailed report and send it to me in an hour since I have to send it back to the military headquarters."
"Yes commander."
After bidding my farewell to the colonel, I went to see if any new establishment was being done by the enemy soldiers for defense, and if yes, then which one, and to my relief, it was none, and even I expected this to happen since most of their power will be replaced against the Russian invasion in Donbas due to the attack by my aircraft, but better save then sorry, so I sent a small reconnicance party to see the enemy situation since I do not know when the headquarters will relay orders for opening a new front here, and my reply should not be, Please give me some time for reconnicance,' after which I started to talk with my system.
"System you there?."
[YES HOST]
"System, how many points do I have?."
[HOST YOU HAVE 1700 POINTS]
"Why only 1700? Shouldn't it be more because of the air strike that I did?."
[HOST THE RUSSIANS TOOK THE CREDIT FOR THAT STRIKE, AND THAT IS WHY YOU DID NOT GOT THAT MANY PRESTIGE POINTS]
"Fine, but system, tell me one thing."
[WHICH HOST?]
"System, can you tell me about how even my troops do not respect my food? AM I A MAIN CHARACTER OR NOT?."
[I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOST WHAT DO YOU MEAN?]
"I just meant what I said in the beginning when I tasted the Russian food, like their soups. I liked the taste of it, right?."
[YES HOST]
"So why did they not like the Indian food that I made? You see, I have seen so many anime, manga, and web novels where the main character got transmigrated to another world and their he conquers people with his cooking skills, but what happened to me? They outright said that they do not like my cooking. How is that possible?."
[HOST I THINK YOU DO NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE RUSSIAN TASTE BUDS AND THE INDIAN TASTE BUDS]
"What is their difference between them?."
[YES, HOST, THEY DO HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN BETWEEN THEM]
"What is it?."
[THE MAIN DIFFERENCE IS YOUR COOKING SKILLS AND THE OTHER MAIN THING IS THEIR OWN PREFRENCE OF THEIR EATING HABIT JUST LIKE HOW YOU ARE AN INDIAN BUT YOU DO NOT LIKE THE DOSA AN INDIAN DISH IT IS SAME]
"Well, I accept your explanation, but how are you so sure that they like Indian cuisine and the problem is in my cooking?."
[THAT IS BECAUSE MOST RUSSIANS ENJOY INDIAN CUISINE, ESPECIALLY IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF MOSCOW. SOME SAY THE TASTE IS GOOD, ESPECIALLY THE FISH AND TANDOORI ITEMS. POPULAR DISHES INCLUDE MUTTON HYDERABADI, MUTTON JALFREZI, MUTTON BIRYANI, MURG MASALA, CHICKEN CURRY, HARAYALI SHORBA, DAL AMRITSARI, AND SARSO DA SAAG.
"Is it true? If yes, then name some restaurants."
[HOST SOME RESTAURANTS IN MOSCOW THAT SERVE INDIAN FOOD, INCLUDING DZHEY HIND, DARBARS, KHAJURAO, DEVI CAFE, AND JAGANNATH]
"So that means I am not the first person to introduce them to my culture."
[YES HOST IT WAS JEEVANANTHAM WHO MADE INDIAN FOOD FAMOUS IN RUSSIA BY OPENING THE FIRST SPICE SHOP IN 1990 AND THEN WRITING A COOKING BOOK CALLED GOTOVIM PO-INDIISKIY OR WE ARE COOKING INDIAN]
"Well, he was really a man who spread Indian cuisine to Russians then."
[YES HOST]
"Well, then system, can I summon anyone who is related to the military by these prestige points?."
[YES, HOST, YOU CAN SUMMON ANYONE THROUGH THESE POINTS]
"Very well summon me a chef of the highest caliber, like one of those from five-star restaurants, but first tell me how many points I will need?."
[HOST YOU WILL NEED 50 POINTS DUE TO YOUR VERY SPECIFIC SUMMON]
"Very well do it."
[ARE YOU SURE HOST YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR POINTS?]
"Do you know how humiliated and embarrassed I felt when I saw my juniors trying to act like they were enjoying the food, but in reality they vomited everything in the washroom, so just do it right now."
[YES HOST]
[SUMMONING*1 CHEF]
[SUMMONED SUCCESSFULLY]
[CURRENT PRESTIGE POINTS=1650 PRESTIGE POINTS]
[HOST THE CHEF IS CURRENTLY IN THE KITCHEN MAKING FOOD IF YOU WANT YOU CAN VISIT HIM THEIR]
"Thanks system."
[IT IS MY DUTY HOST]
"Wait, you said he is in the kitchen? Does he have a proper identity, or should I go and save him from the charges of treason that he will get on the grounds of selling information to the enemy since if a person randomly comes into any military place, then the soldiers will most likely think that the person is a spy, especially in a war?"
[YES, HE IS IN THE KITCHEN AND ALSO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT SINCE I HAVE ALREADY ALTERED REALITY THAT THE CHEF CAME WITH THE MILITARY AND AFTER COMING HERE HE STARTED TO WORK IN THE MILITARY KITCHEN]
"How? And if you had the ability to make it happen, then why did not you do it with all of the soldiers and even me?."
[I JUST FABRICATED HIS IDENTITY BECAUSE IT WAS EASY TO DO FOR A SINGLE PERSON, WHILE ON THE OTHER HAND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TELL THE BACKGROUND OF A WHOLE ARMY WITHOUT ANY SUSPICION FROM SOME PARTIES].
"Right now, can you tell me what the base includes?."
[THE BASE INCLUDE EVERYTHING WHICH A HIGH GRADE MILITARY BASE HAS, INCLUDING HEALTH,COMMUNICATION, AND BUNKER FACILITY]
"How many soldiers can it facilate?."
[HOST IT CAN TAKE CARE OF FIFTY THOUSAND SOLDIERS]
"Does it require any specific place to be placed, or I can put it anywhere I want to place in the world?."
[HOST YOU CAN PLACE THE BASE IN ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD YOU WANT, NOT ONLY THIS, YOU CAN EVEN PLACE THIS IN OUTER SPACE OR ON ANY PLANET]
"Wait seriously?."
[YES HOST]
"Tell me if I placed the base like on the moon, so will you give me any way to travel or I have to go there by myself, and will it have a stable oxygen supply and energy, or I will get myself killed due to not having oxygen to breathe? Also, will it have an atmosphere?."
[HOST, YOU HAVE TO PERSONALLY GO TO VISIT THE BASE, BUT IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN BUY A TELEPORTATION DEVICE WITH A MILLION PRESTIGE POINTS FOR YOUR TRAVEL, AND YES, THE BASE WILL HAVE STABLE OXYGEN SUPPLY AND ENERGY, AND IT WILL ALSO HAVE AN ARTIFICIAL ATMOSPHERE AND GRAVITY GENERATOR.]
[HOST DO YOU WANT TO PLACE THE BASE ON MOON?]
[YES] [NO]
"No, I was just asking some questions. Well, know, tell me what the benefits of having it are."
I just finished my question when a soldier's voice came from the door.
"Commander, there is news from the headquarters, so the communication head sent me to fetch you."
"Where is he?."
"He is in his department checking for any new developments."
"Very well, take me there."
"Yes sir."
After reaching the place, I saw them looking towards me in a weird way, and by seeing it, I started to make my brain do an overwork to see what would have caused it, like maybe they realized that I am a fake or something.
"What is it, captain?."
"Sir, we got a report from the capital regarding you."
"What is it?."
I asked while thinking about how to escape from here.
"Congratulations commander."
"What?."
"I said commander, you got promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, which also makes you the youngest person who received this title."
Wait whatttttt?.
