Continental Hero Senki

On January 11, 632, the Continental Calendar, many cadets, including myself, were hanging out in a wall newspaper posted near the Royal Cadet School Teaching Division.

And almost all of the candidates stare at the wallpaper. Says,

"The inauguration of a coup d 'état military regime in Carlsbert"

. The information currently available on the military coup in the neighbouring Republic of Karlsbert was detailed.

"Is this a big deal?

Soon Sarah was next door. Yeah, Sarah doesn't look good in newspapers.

"I don't think so."

"Specifically?

"The military regime sucks"

I don't like it anymore. I only have the image of a military regime being done by someone who likes repression and aggression.

Karlsbert is currently in the position of interim president by the nomination of Republican Army General Edvart Harha from Parliament.

President Harha issued martial law throughout the entire territory immediately. At the same time it appeared to have suspended the Constitution, delegated full powers of justice, legislation and administration to the military and dissolved Parliament indefinitely.

I think it's too vibrant and quick to act. This would have been pretty hard to prep.

Apparently, it's a measure to temporarily accommodate the turmoil in national politics caused by the suicide of the former president... but I guess the former president was definitely killed.

The nomination from Parliament would also have blackmailed the senator with a sword in his neck anyway.

"I wonder if Silesia is going to be in trouble."

"I can't say anything yet, but things are bad for now."

Carlsbert was an anti-Silesian alliance participant, and it's more unnatural to assume he won't come.

"Carlsbert, how much is the power of the republican army?

I noticed another neighbor came. My classmate Radek.

"What's up, Radek?" From a stick to a stick. "

"No, it's just what happens when it goes to war with us."

I'm sure it'll be a war, though. About Silesia is an affordable country to wipe out.

"I forgot the details, but you had a medium population and economy."

"So is it as good as ours?

"Probably."

"Then maybe 10 to 15 divisions in normal time."

By the way, one division can be considered about 10,000 people. And I can more or less imagine the number of troops depending on the population, the economy, and the situation in the surrounding countries.

However, this means standing capacity, and when the war begins and reserves are mobilized or conscripted, they will swell up.

"I think we can mobilize quite a bit because it's a military regime. It'll probably double or so."

"But the law of attack is triple."

"What is it?"

Hmm. After school class was supposed to be tactical today. Let's do it here.

"Attack three."

"The law of triple attack is that the attacker must have three times more power than the defense to defeat the enemy base."

Dialogue taken. Gu. Well, there's more or less an explanation for Radek. But it's not a passing score.

"Radek, that's all it takes to test the tactics."

"Oh, seriously?

Seriously.

"The common threefold law of attack means tactical, not strategic."

"Say it a little more plainly"

"You'd better get used to explaining things a little more clearly."

Oh, yes, I'm sorry.

That's a tough one.

Let's start with the law of tripling attacks in a tactical sense.

Well, I think you'll figure this out somehow. The defensive side can build defensive positions and use terrain to increase defense. Po, the law that you can't po if you don't have about three times as much power to attack the bases that are available around it.

But this law is not mathematically or statistically backed up. It's just a rule of thumb.

Decent is apart from "Lancaster's Law". Looks like there's not one in this world yet.

So, about the strategic implications.

There is no such thing as a determination that the attacking side must deliberately attack fortresses and strongholds that the defensive side has built robustly. If you have a base you're going to have a hard time dropping, you just have to detour! It just does.

There are examples in the past world that have actually happened. You're the guy who tells you to turn around if you hurry.

The attacking side is free to decide where to attack. The defensive side on the other side doesn't know where the offensive side will attack.

For this reason, the defensive side has no choice but to disperse its forces on the long border or to attract and intercept the enemy at a point slightly pulled from the border.

A three-fold attack law is a subtle one, though tactically correct.

"Okay?

"You don't understand."

My fist flew in. Ouch. But I don't hate it.

"So, what do we do after all?

"I can't do anything about it. Only enough to pray."

We're still freshman cadets.

And that's when my voice sounded in my head.

'... reach all school students. This is the principal. "

Communication magic.

Communication magic is magic that can send telepathy to everyone within a certain range. Everyone can receive it, but it's incredibly difficult to send it, and the difficulty is that telepathy can't be sent only by sniping at certain people. You're more like a loudspeaker than a comm.

'I think a lot of you know about the coup d 'état in your neighborhood. Depending on the circumstances, you may also need to convene. Everyone, prepare to deal with any situation. Above, communication terminated'

Oh, boy, what is a standby order? Is it bad at last?

"Hey, that's kind of a hassle,"

"Does this mean we might go to the battlefield too?

"Seriously. I don't want to die a virgin."

"How...? Huh?"

For now, as Radek punches me and keeps me quiet.

"Sarah, let's not do the remaining classes of tactics today"

"Huh? Skip?

"No."

Why would I do that? I live so seriously every day!

"You said you could handle whatever happened. So I want you to arch to survive being suddenly on the front lines."

"Hmm? Fine. I don't want to see you die like that. It's swordsmanship today."

You're a good friend of the White Soldiers.

"Well, I guess I can attend the rest of the class..."

I said that while Radek, who stood up like a zombie, was dying.

Hmm, it would be a shame for a bastard to interrupt a heartbreaking event called a class for two... Things are happening. I have no choice.

"Is Sarah okay?

……

"Hey? Sarah?

"I'm listening! I've said it many more times, but no sarcasm!

He hit me again.

Yeah, good. He's alive.

"Well fine. I won't let you down."

Is it your fault I have a feeling I'm gonna die in an archery of swordsmanship before I stand on the battlefield?
