The Army Today

Page 1

Chiha: FINISHED FINALLY! Take a look, Shiki Shiki!

Shiki: I was wondering what you were doing with such an intense expression...

Lord Pigeon: Po!

Shiki: ...What is this?

Chiha: The new weapon I just thought up, the 'Flying Tank'!

(On the drawing: Able to fly. Strong. By Chiha.)

Chiha: Us tanks have really limited movements right? That's why I thought up of this super tank that you get from combining a plane with a tank so you'd be able to go and fight whenever and wherever!

(Background: Combine!)

Page 2

Chiha: Even the Americans would be afraid of something as cool as the 'Flying Tank'! With this, I can become a strong and cool tank and join the other tanks like Panther-danna* and Tiger-danna!
[*Danna is something similar to 'sir' or 'mister'; used to refer to someone you respect/admire.]

(Box: Tiger & Panther - German tanks. EXTREMELY SCARY. They have scary faces but are Chiha's allies.)

Chiha: And then I'll show that damn despicable American bastard!!

(Box: M4 Sherman - American medium tank. Chiha's destined enemy. Loves bullying weak little Chiha.)

Chiha: In other words, Shiki Shiki! Carry me around!
(Sfx: Hug!)

Shiki: It's practically impossible for a reconnaisance aircraft to carry a tank. That and medium tanks are far too heavy.

Shiki: There's someone far lighter here who fits your requirements.

Teke: ...So, it's me again... You know, I'm actually just an armoured car. Not a tank. I don't actually know how to fight~ Stop using me for back up simply because you don't have enough people around here~
Small text. Teke: Everyone's using me the wrong way~)
(Background: Light. Combined.)

Hayabusa: I'm also a fighter plane, so I'm not used to carrying heavy things. Why won't you go find a bomber for this kinda thing?

Shiki: There are many things involved if you want to do that. We don't have any spare space within our budget to construct a bomber than can carry a tank.
(Small arrow: Abacus.)

Chiha: In the end I'm still weak!!

Actually, a project to construct a flying tank existed, but the British and the Americans have already tried something similar. If you're interseted, take a look at the 'Special No.3 Flying Tank'*!
[Special No. 3 Flying Tank "So-Ra" or "Ku-Ro" is a glider tank. It detaches wings after landing and acts as tank. So-Ra was developed in 1943, but it was abandonned and not produced. Above picture is on the mockup of the tank portion.]

Teke's Backstory

A long long tiem ago, there was a brand new 'light armoured car' produced. By the way, 'light armoured cars' were used to transport dangerous goods such as weapons and explosives.

Higher up: You! You look young and healthy, go take a gun and fight. From today onwards you're a 'tankette'!

Teke: Eh? Me*?

Thus, the young 'light armoured car' left for the -BEEP- battlefield as a 'tankette' and fought.

Teke: Everyone's treating me like a tank~ But actually, what can a tankette do?
Small text. Teke: Saying I'm fit for the job but I wish you guys would just stop using me for all the wrong purposes~

(Background: Chew chew)

Chiha: Eh? Is this one eyed guy big brother?
