How can an average japanese salaryman have such encyclopedic knowledge about war? It's as if Tanya could basically recite every little thing from WWs like a devoted muslim would a Q'uran.
How can an average japanese salaryman have such encyclopedic knowledge about war...
He was a nerd.
I could talk to you for a good few hours about the European theater, but I'm a physicist.
>average
Was it ever stated he was average though?
He was above average but choose to do the bare-minimum to get an easy life instead of a successful one.
And modern businesses take a lot from warfare, manny modern administration methods come from military logistics, war is 80% administration and logistics, 15% movement and 5% shooting
He wasnt average, he was cold-blooded and merciless before his reincarnation. And remember that episode showing him going through the military academy? now add that he has even more authority over his subordinates bc of being in the military, and lucky that they dont break so easily and you´ve got yourself a pretty good officer.
Adult intellect+years in the military academy.
He went through a military officer academy. His goal is to get a high enough rank to get a desk job, so he's applying himself to it a lot.
Too bad he's stuck forever on the frontlines because he's way too good of a commander and his unit is too elite.
She gets promoted into more responsibility. Which means more delegating and more tactical and strategic planning. But yeah she's never leaving the line of fire because god wills it so.
It's the obvious result of combining genderbender isekai tensei with Command and Conquer: Red Alert.
A good deal of /his/torians and Zig Forumstards have strong enough autism to casually memorize that kind of shit. It's not too surprising that someone autistic enough to backtalk an isekai deity in the face of death would spend countless hours devoted to this shit. I've met a few people who can recite the course of WW2 battles like they have a wikipedia page open before them. In terms of shit isekai protagonists just know, that's one of the more believable ones.
Tanya is a general history and war movie autist, so it's this.
>A good deal of /his/torians and Zig Forumstards have strong enough autism to casually memorize that kind of shit.
memorizing the chronology of the war is far different from understanding the military tactics and extensive policies that were in it. no one in /his/ or Zig Forums would be able to give you a detailed account of the logistics and manufacturing chain of the allies and Germany in WW2.
It is the will of God that His messenger should have such knowledge and skills.
what this user said: Also 2 important things, if you are a history nerd you might as well know some basic tactics that for the time of WW1 were groundbreaking. Blitzkreig was was revolutionary to warfare.
And not to mention that Tanya got at least a full year of military training and some time in the military academy, so she might as well know her shit good.
>Blitzkreig was was revolutionary to warfare.
Blitzkrieg (which was never what any doctrine was actually named) wasn't even feasible in 1918, the necessary level of mechanization didn't exist.
The average history nerd's idea of what good tactics in WW1 would have been disastrous in all likelihood. Tanya would need to have made at least a graduate-level study of military science to grasp the complexities of industrial warfare.
This, I've heard too many user's hot takes on WW1 tactics and strategy to give any credit to the idea that an amateur historian would be any good as an isekai military commander
reading the LN convinced me to start becoming versed in History, Political Theory, Philosophy, Ideologies, Logistics, Higher Math, Tactics and Warfare
its one of the few series that i can say made me a better person
It's worth noting that Rudersdorf and Zettour are both god-tier strategists which helps you make the correct tactical decisions.
You're saying it as if Tanya was the one laying out the full war plans.
She's grasping the basics thanks to both being a nerd and the training time plus the academy time she had to spent early on in the story.
You could learn the history of the entirety of a war in one day with modern technology. The only problem is remembering it. That's where having a good memory comes in.
>The average history nerd's idea of what good tactics in WW1 would have been disastrous in all likelihood.
The commanders in ww1 were almost entirely acting on faulty and outdated knowledge. The average history nerd might not be able to fully abuse their knowledge but they'll sure as shit perform better than just shell the trench for 7 days then charge.
He was a fucking weirdo riding the line between autist and sociopath. It makes sense that he would have an obsessive encyclopedic knowledge of some nerd topic. Given he also had a superiority complex and some degree of cruelty it makes sense that war would be his history fixation, since that would allow him to fantasize about how much better his tactics would be.
And lucky him, he got to test it for real. I wish I had the chance, the amount of war crimes I would commit would be uncountable. I wonder if he doesn't secretly relish the chance to go beyond human resources to firing people for real, with a bayonet.
the earlier you are able to start thinking "I'm me" heavily effects how intelligent you are. Being cognizant of herself since birth would make her highly intelligent and able to remember specific things with extreme accuracy
It's an interesting series. I wish there weren't so many dropped plot points though. It's kind of a mess.
Eh, the three things she contributes is a special ops group, planting booby traps and retreating, and noticing they failed to completely shut down the enemy and celebrated prematurely. Not exactly genius, but perceptive. Had she made the rockets, magic flying device, or other such stuff it would have been stretching things.
Do you not read the thread? Tanya finished both military school and war college in combination with her autustic /his/ obsession and actual experience fighting on the frontline. There's a huge difference between all of that and your average armchair general on a mongolian cave drawing forum. Also just because she has that knowledge doesn't mean it helps her. She's still stuck in the trenches fighting for months without being able to change anything about her situation.
I took a course in Computer and Network Security, so am intimately familiar with The Art of War and could ace any ww2 scenario. Trust.
i watch sabaton history every week isekai me
Tanya is a sociopathic Indy Neidell, I guess.
Autism. He's a literal robotic autist so it's no wonder that he would have encyclopedic knowledge on useless war shit.
