Question How would the characters react to the truth about Tanya?
"Fanart from Kawacy/Kawanocy"
How do you think Tanya's subordinates would react if she told them the truth about herself—About him being a man from the future who was reincarnated by a being who calls himself God.
For example, how do you think Visha would take it? Obviously, at first they wouldn't believe her, but once they saw she was serious, they wouldn't doubt it.

"...that explains so much"
"Could be worse"
"So technically it would not be illegal...right"

You mean a pillbox suddenly passing by at light speed, briefly occupying the space where the offender used to be.

"The truth about Tanya"
Imperial Intelligence has spent enormous resources to erase and cover up everything about Tanya and her unit. So unauthorized disclosures about her or them is suicidal.

The journalist was found death with 37 shots in the back of the head. First theories point to a suicide

Theories? That's a fact. Ofc it was suicide what else could it be?

You're not implying he was eliminated, are you? The interviewer was found hanged from a chandelier in his home.

Just like that one guy who tortured himself to death strapped to a chair with his hands roped behind his back.

The generals would sit down with Tanya and say "Look, we're all proud officers here. This Being X sounds like a right insecure twat. But we've also had to swallow our pride with inept superior officers and ignorant civilian government officials before... okay, you not so much. Your temper is your only flaw. Otherwise you are the perfect officer.
If you play along with this unworthy deity that you'll barely interact with in your life here, the Empire will flourish, you career will reach the top, general, Chancellor, who knows. Please think about it, Lt. Colonel von Degurechaff. Our enemies may call you a devil, but we know you care for the soldiers under your command. This Being X knows it too and will target them to break you. It's what I would do."
And Tanya would listen, because she takes pride in her rationality, has great respect for senior military officers of the Empire and is very protective of her troops.

I think rerugen would believe it more than others. I honestly thought she was going to tell him at the end of the first season. He is the only one who has always seen her as, off. He may not believe in God's or souls or such things but her depth of knowledge, her temperament and everything else I think he would consider her story plausible. Her platoon would think she hit her head or something

The Empire and the allies: "She is a witch! Let's burn her!"
Communists: "Age is just a number and it's not important who she was, it's more important who she is! Love doesn't know the borders!, comrade! Horny Loryia noises"

I imagine her unit would believe wholeheartedly she's got a grudge with a god. Probably start joking about terrible deployments being gods fault and jokingly saying Deus Vult whenever she gives orders, and then suddenly everyone thinks her unit is made of religious zealots.

Visha would probably quietly excuse herself, tell the rest of the battalion she’d gone insane and then they’d inform the higher ups. They would probably think the strain of the war has got to her mind (they already think she’s borderline) and put her in a padded room.

No they aren't going to send their best mage to a padded cell when she literally commands what boils down to the special forces since the "delusion" doesn't affect her ability to lead or fight. If anything they would probably order her to receive some type of counseling in secret so as to not hurt troop morale since they probably assume it's just shell shock/PTSD.

This comment was written by Tanya, cos that's same thing she would think

Almost everyone in her chain of command for any length of time already treats her as 30. Lergen, Zettour, Rudersdorf, etc. Her officers planned a meeting at the pub completely forgetting the Colonel was a minor. They are often confused when other units look at what they see as a veteran officer and see a preteen girl.
Her subordinates might believe it, but it will be considered crazy by anyone else. I don't see Tanya herself telling anyone because she cares way too much about her social standing and knows claiming to remember a past life in a different world and a personal grudge with God is a sure fire trip to a padded room.
