- Office of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Ostmarc Empire

"My lord, this is a report on an example."

"... that took a long time"

"I'm sorry. The security of the Royal Palace was strict, even though it was a state of doomsday readings."

"Well, I don't have a choice. So, how'd it go?

"This is the report."

I received the report from him. Content concerns the question of succession to the throne within the neighbouring Kingdom of Silesia.

"Hmmm..."

The question of succession to the throne of the Kingdom of Silesia remains an event under water. King Franz is still magnificent, and nothing in particular is out of office.

"Currently, most of Silesian grand aristocrats support Grand Duke Carroll"

"The emerging aristocrats, the small and medium-sized aristocrats who are rebelling against the great aristocrats, are calling themselves princesses."

"Master Left. Many nobles also support the current king Franz, and Grand Duke Carroll seems to be waiting for Franz's 'natural death'."

"Natural death."

Few say royalty dies naturally in situations like this. You will generally die of an accident or illness.

"If you want to assassinate me poorly, you may invite the rebellion of the current Kings. In this international context, Grand Duke Carroll will also want to avoid civil war."

"Then again, the problem is that lady who enrolled in the cadet school"

"Yes. Although there are still few aristocrats to support, the Kings will almost become princesses than Franz himself hopes to let the princess inherit the throne. The princess is also definitely making connections with leading aristocrats at the cadet school. As the Grand Duke, you want to get rid of it early."

"Ho. So, who do you think it's best to give to as a nation, Colonel (...)"

"... would still be a princess"

"Why?

"As the report states, the Grand Duke still seems to want to join hands in some way with the Eastern Continental Empire"

"What a comforting ally you are"

The Republic of Karlsbert became essentially a part of the Eastern Continental Empire by a coup d 'état. On top of this, the military gates of the Eastern Continental Empire will not be able to be seen in national defense until Silesia.

"Our country is not rich enough to beat Carlsbert, Silesia, and our Eastern Continental Empire opponents with three frontal operations. But I'm sure it's hard to work with Silesia."

If you intervene poorly in Silesia, you could end up in a coup like Carlsbert. It doesn't have to be that far, but it's hard to get an anti-government campaign going.

"Is it impossible to coordinate with the Union of Livonia Nobles?

"Not impossible, but his country is not bordered by the Eastern Continental Empire by land. There's no guarantee you'll help us where we tie hands."

"Hmm..."

The countries that cross with us with that great power and so on are not. Even if I could work with Livonia, it would only be against Silesia Carlsbert. I can hardly expect it to be an imperial battle against the Eastern Continent. Besides, there are rumours that cannot be said of the Union.

"When it comes to borders, it is later the Second Reich of Christ..."

"But when I say alliance with that country..."

"Oh, that's the impossible story"

My country and Christ are in a state of conflict at present in a progressive form rather than getting along badly...... There will not be a hand tied by that country to the Eastern Continental Empire, but there will also be nothing to say about a hand tied to us.

Again, we just have to do something about Silesia. At the very least, we will not give Silesia to the Eastern Continental Empire and, if possible, unite our hands. And without giving the Eastern Continental Empire time to intervene. Is there a way to fulfill that......

Hmm? That said, you had a strange report about the Eastern Continental Empire.

I gave a report from the desk drawer.

Colonel, look at this.

"Is this an investigation report within the Eastern Continental Empire? My lord, this is..."

"Ah. Don't you think we can use this one?

"... yeah. But it takes time."

"How long will it take?

"Perhaps a few years"

"Well, I don't have a choice. But that country can't move for a while either. Because there are problems with the domestic economy, and they say the conflict with the Second Reich of Christ has rekindled. Don't rush too fast and fail."

"Okay. We'll be ready in a minute."

"Uhm. Wish me success, Colonel"

It was not until four years later, in 636 of the continental calendar, that the plot of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Ostmarc Empire came to fruition.
