A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1044: Before the Bath. (Next time on offense. )
"Well, let's just say it was a small sacrifice in the defensive battle, and the troops on the Katlanda Empire side joined.
"Uhm.
Next move.
"Yeah, that's the biggest reason the Katlanda Empire has let us fight together this time.
"Right.
Takeo and King Azpar nod.
"?... so why did the Katlanda Empire attack the United States of Wilip instead of the Kingdom of Azpur (us)?
William asks the fundamental questions.
... His Highness William. What are you talking about?
Takeo is frightened.
"No... sorry.
All I saw was the demon kingdom thing. At last, consciousness was only carried out for those who had moved territory.
William comes to apologize honestly.
"Ha... maybe this is good for William...
I talked to the Emperor a little bit... but that feels... like we are.
It certainly seems easy to attack with the Wilip Union, but it is easy to sacrifice to deal with 7,000 Azpur Kingdom soldiers (our soldiers).
Then I believe that there are fewer casualties if we invade the streets of the Katlanda Empire and the Wilip Union, which will be thin while the 12,000 people of the Wilip Union invade the kingdom of Azpur.
"You keep them alert and faint, don't you?
"It's a bad way to put it, but it will.
Besides, there is a verse in which the royal family over there (...) knows that there is an agreement text that the territory of the Kingdom of Azpur was transferred from the Empire (...).
I guess it is also intentional that the emperor did not shake the story of the area at all.
And as for the Katlanda Empire, the war on this side is not something to prolong.
We can win if we don't really think about the demon kingdom.
I guess the way not to make wasteful sacrifices is to fight the Willip Union.
The problem with the Katlanda Empire would be in the name of causing the truce agreement to be broken.
There will be several ways... "
King Azpar thinks.
"... the Foreign Office will think about that area, won't it?
Well. A few days after the arrival of the troops of the Katlanda Empire, the story of the Katlanda Empire's invasion of the Wilip United... "
"I guess the target countries will be going home first.
William laughs bitterly at Takeo's words.
"... even if I don't say all of them... I expect 30%, 3,600 to 4,000 to leave, but I guess that's when the counter-attack comes.
"Right.
We must also open the battlefield by multiplying the confusion.
Aim for... "
"You must be an aristocratic army facing the Katlanda Empire.
Takeo says as he thinks.
"Right.
If the other side is unharmed and occupied, this time there will be an applause for the confusion because the countries of those behind the Wilip Union will be targeted.
But I don't think so either.
"Right.
At the end of the day, the Falke National Army will be up front facing the kingdom of Azpur, which will be in the best interest of this invasion.
You won't give way.
We just have to go and see the aristocracy on the part of the Katlanda Empire leave in a hurry, but still 30% will be gone at once, and if that were an invasion from another country, the spirit of the soldiers would be tight, wouldn't it?
More attacks from the kingdom of Azpur as time goes by... you can see morale going down.
"Until then, we have endured.
Morale seems high though.
So. Takeo. It's an invasion of the Falke country, but... what do you think?
"His Majesty said 50%...
I do not believe that the scope of the occupied areas has to be determined on the basis of various ideas.
But privately, I think we need to occupy all the streets along the sea to keep salt from making it the way it was originally intended.
So... we invade along the streets, but the city where the Lords' Mansion is located should only be besieged and the majority should be bare, occupying and positioning the border with the Drores country at once.
I think it's ideal in me to occupy everything on the seaside.
Takeo lightly writes the territory of the Falke country, draws the line of the street, draws the line when it occupies.
"... Hmm.
"And we should have a ceasefire with the Union of Wilip and make the Falke a buffer zone with the naturalization of the Kingdom of Azpar and with the Katlanda Empire.
And the border with the countries of Drores and Falke should be established by creating a forest 1 km wide and using the edge of the forest as a border.
"Hmm... you make it inviolable, don't you?
"Yes. I think it's easiest to see creating a visible border.
"What do you think the political system over there should do?
"The political system... it would be unacceptable where I briefly told you to stop slavery... even if you rebelled over there and the theory of war continuity was screamed out.
You will need to make some compromises about slavery.
Well, I don't think you need to make taxes on naturalization that bad, even if you get quite a bit of post-war compensation.
If you make it impossible, there will be a backlash.
Then I think it would be healthier to make that happen and securely secure the proceeds of salt and the like afterwards.
"Right.
Is there no need to exploit it?
King Azpar nods.
"Mr. Takeo. What do you think we should do about running the newly gained territory?
William was going to ask.
