GüNMEN JE? DAO: Good day, Colonel Alibaruk. Thank you for agreeing to this interview.

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Good day, Mr. Je? Dao. The pleasure is mine.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Let's dive straight into the pivotal events. Could you describe the role of Norvian Cosmic Regiment 17 in the Third Great War?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Our regiment was tasked with critical operations in space, particularly securing orbital routes and defending against Communist fleets. We also played a direct role in the deployment of the thermonuclear bomb on Gresendon, a mission that significantly weakened the enemy's command infrastructure.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Speaking of the bombing of Gresendon, it has been one of the most controversial events of the war. Could you walk us through how the mission unfolded?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Certainly. The bomb, code-named Mars 239, was launched from the spaceship Heiwa 71-ATOM. Under the command of Captain Shariff Gustav Lughe, it reached Pyramis's mesosphere, where Sergeant Doielz Gelsmann took over control after Lieutenant Erena Taker's tragic death during an enemy boarding.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: What led to the decision to use a thermonuclear weapon?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Intelligence revealed that Gresendon was the central hub for Communist nuclear operations. We had credible evidence of intercontinental missile development - missiles capable of devastating the most distant places of the world. The weapon was necessary to neutralize this existential threat.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Were there other factors influencing this decision?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Yes. Before the operation, we intercepted communications regarding radioactive material being transported from Xandze, Ilmotreine, Monte Díalle, and Northern Galfastia. These movements confirmed that large-scale nuclear escalation was imminent.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: The mission faced an enemy boarding incident on Heiwa. What do we know about the attackers?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: They used "Chameleon" class ships - nearly undetectable. They breached our cargo bay silently, likely with advanced laser cutters, and vanished without a trace. It was as though ghosts had infiltrated the ship.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Could their invisibility be attributed to advanced technology, or do you suspect other forces at play?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: While their methods were highly advanced, there was an unsettling atmosphere aboard the ship, suggesting experimental weaponry - or even arcane methods - might have been involved.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Returning to the bomb - witnesses noted an unusual greenish hue in the mushroom cloud over Gresendon. Do you have an explanation?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: The green hue likely resulted from atmospheric anomalies. Gresendon has long experienced unique phenomena, like Verdant Sunsets, possibly due to its distinctive environmental composition.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Let's talk about the aftermath. How has this mission impacted your regiment and you personally?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: The mission was a turning point in the war, but it came at a cost. We lost Lieutenant Erena Taker and Private Ahmed Sahalinov. Sergeant Gelsmann, who delivered the bomb, has been dismissed from active duty due to psychological trauma.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Have you been informed about plans to construct Neo-Gresendon and designate Midland as an International Economic Zone?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Yes, and I fully support the decision. Gresendon was the Pivot of the World during the 18th and 19th centuries, before the Communist regime. Reviving its former grandeur, promoting local businesses, and encouraging tourism will benefit all. The International Union is committed to erasing Connor McKenwey's damaging legacy.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: What do you think happened to the two groups sent into bombed Gresendon?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Captain Dmitriy Kopi?'s Zov group and Captain Joshua Truston's Cry Group were fully equipped - armors, advanced filtration, two Duster tanks, and Reaper-75 armored cars. Yet we lost contact. It could be underground jammers or survivors who ambushed them. The dense smoke that blankets the area complicates matters; we can't see anything within it.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: What is your opinion on the liquidators? Are they reliable for handling this?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Liquidators are crucial despite the risks of marauding. Clearing radioactive contamination and military remnants is a top priority. High walls are also being considered to restrict access to the affected area. This containment approach, while challenging, is necessary for safety.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Looking ahead, what are your plans?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Our regiment will be reassigned to patrol the Orbital Research Station Sevastopol near Zues. Personally, I hope to continue serving and advancing my career.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Thank you for your time, Colonel. Any final thoughts?

  COL. JAQUES ALIBARUK: Only that wars leave scars beyond the battlefield. I hope the fall of the Communist government will lead to lasting peace.

  GüNMEN JE? DAO: Thank you again, Colonel Alibaruk.
