The Journey of the Generals Under the Sun February 24
On February 24, the sun shone brightly in the sky. For Heru Cokro, it was a challenging day. The day before, he had held an exhausting administrative meeting. And on this day, he had to attend a military meeting in the morning. The location is almost similar to the main hall, where administrative meetings are usually held.
Various generals gathered in the room. Compared to ordinary civil servants, these generals were figures filled with glory. With signs of departure and appreciation adorning their clothes, they looked like stars shining brightly in the night sky.
Gajah Mada, who heads the Military Affairs Department, was seen sitting at the very front. He was accompanied by legendary generals such as Pancadnyana, Raden Said, and Ghozi. In addition, there was also Raden Partajumena and four other great generals who led the army. There are even names like Aswatama, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, Tipukhris, and Wirama. This included the regiment colonel Paspam Mahesa Boma, who had just arrived from Al Shin District.
However, among all the generals present, only one person felt awkward and lacked confidence. It was Ghozi, the secretary of Military Intelligence. Despite having an important role in the department, Ghozi felt inferior when dealing with legendary generals who had a glorious experience and reputation.
Ghozi felt like he was sitting on a needle. His mind was filled with fear that he might not be able to meet the expectations and standards applied by the generals. In his heart, he even doubted the decision to become the secretary of Military Intelligence, and yearned for a simpler life as a soldier.
However, all of a sudden, when Heru Cokro entered the room, Ghozi's mood slightly eased. Heru Cokro has its own way of calming the chaotic mind of Ghozi.
Heru Cokro spoke sincerely, "Ghozi, I understand that you might feel tense before these generals. But remember, you were chosen for this position because it has tremendous potential and ability. Believe in yourself and work hard. You don't need to feel less confident in front of them."
Ghozi nodded, his face showing a calmer expression. "Thank you, sir. I'll try my best."
Heru Cokro gave a smile full of support, "That's it. Remember that you are not just here. You have an important role in the success of the Military Affairs Department. Be the best."
The military meeting began with all the generals sitting in their respective places. Heru Cokro deliberately arrived half an hour late before the meeting began, giving time for the generals who had just met to get to know each other better.
One of the generals, Pancadnyana, looked relaxed and confident. When they met during the Battle of Gojalisuta, Pancadnyana was an ambitious young commander. Now, he has found his place in the Department of Military Affairs.
Raden Partajumena, another general present, had a complicated relationship with Pancadnyana. Although they are familiar, there is sometimes awkwardness in their interactions.
Heru Cokro realized the importance of interaction between the generals, especially the newly joined ones. He believed that understanding and respecting each other was the key to successful cooperation between them.
As the meeting progressed, Ashwatama, a fairly famous general, felt his heart boiling. He looked at the various famous generals present in the room, and he began to feel a sense of passion and confidence in himself. Maybe this is the time to carve his name in the military world of Java Dwipa.
This military gathering, though full of diverse personalities and reputations, remains a meeting point where the future of Java Dwipa is knitted by its best hands.
Soon, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi will lead a large army. However, among the four generals present, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi, the only female general, looked rather awkward. The past few days have given him insight into the relationship that exists between his mother and Regent Gresik. Therefore, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi tried to adjust to the environment in Java Dwipa.
Despite the doubts in his heart, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi felt close to Rama Heryamin, his little prince. Rama has a natural charisma as a diplomat. People always feel comfortable around him and can't help but like him. Over the past few days, Rama not only introduced Tribhuwana Tunggadewi on the military aspect, but also took him around the Java region of Dwipa. This makes Tribhuwana Tunggadewi more captivated by the prosperity and diversity of the territory.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi does have experience as a commander, but his visit to Java Dwipa opened his eyes to the potential of this region. Although prosperity seemed to be everywhere, he realized that Java Dwipa still had a distance to go to match the Majapahit Kingdom. However, he was not nervous about facing this challenge.
Nonetheless, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi feels a little awkward in interacting with new people. However, the only person who invited him to speak was his own mother, Sri Tribhuwana Wijayatunggadewi Maharajasa Jayawisnuwardhani, also known as Gayatri Rajapatni in the history of the archipelago.
Tribhuwana Tunggadewi felt proud and humble in his interactions with his mother. Their conversation was a rare moment amidst the crowd of generals. Although his mother was an influential ruler, Tribhuwana Tunggadewi felt comfortable talking to him.
On the other hand, there was also Tipukhris, one of the other generals, who felt awkward and uncomfortable. Tipukhris mused about her experiences over the past few days. He realized that Dwipa's Javanese troops had a different way of fighting, which made him feel awkward and doubtful of himself. After experiencing various situations, he felt ashamed of his former beliefs while attacking.
Right now, in the main hall, Tipukhris was pondering about how the Javanese Dwipa army actually considered the enemy. He realized that this army did not look down on the enemy, even against the IKN Alliance. Tipukhris had lived in Java Dwipa long enough to know how the rules of war here differed from the prairie.
Although Tipukhris pondered this, he did not feel that being part of the Jawa Dwipa army was a bad thing. He realized that it depended on perspective. For the prairie people, subservience to Java Dwipa may be considered degrading, but for those who seek a better life, being part of Java Dwipa is an advantage.
Seeing the prosperity of Java Dwipa, Tipukhris mused about the higher standard of living available here. Even though he felt that way, he realized that the prairie people would probably not believe him. People only believe in what they see and experience themselves.
In addition, Tipukhris had heard some unfortunate rumors about her that were spread among the prairie people. Some considered him inexperienced and sacrificed his troops. Some argue that he is too greedy for glory and too subservient to the enemy. However, Tipukhris chose to ignore these views and stay focused on the task.
After he surrendered to Dwipa's Javanese troops, Tipukhris never met Sajana, a commander of the prairie alliance. Even though in her heart she felt that her actions were the best, she still felt sad and uneasy about the situation. The difficulty of deciding between the meadow and Java Dwipa still haunts him.
Now, the meadow had become an important part of Tipukhris' heart, and he felt that he could not untie it. Though heartbreaking, he still tried to move forward in the direction he had chosen.
