Continental Hero Senki

Never thought Fine von Linz was an incompetent person.

Indeed, she may not have collected the information herself. But she's a good person in another way.

Perhaps Mr. Feene is a genius in choosing to trade in information.

The information her father, Roman von Linz, gathers would be from a jade stone mix.

Among the many pieces of information, pick up important, high-priority information, and connect the dots and dots of the information, causing it to happen in letters.

I know exactly how hard this is to work with.

I wrote a paper to death in my last life. Take the information you need from numerous references and truncate the unnecessary information. Then state your thoughts by writing and discussing the collected information. It's quite difficult, and it takes time. And the teacher said, "The discussion here is weird." Start over "makes me want to die.

She'll finish that in a few days, and clean it up as early as in a day. Besides, there's no curtain for the teacher to come out because it's so perfectly put together that there's no place for it.

I don't call this talent, what can I call it?

Now that you have the ability to gather information, Mr. Feene, aren't you the strongest in terms of information? You think you can make a CIA?

The following 29 April.

I decided to look at the information again today because I didn't have time to look at it in detail because of what happened.

Information Mr. Fine brought to me yesterday, only 3 pages, but all valuable.

There are three main types of information.

High Police Department, Ministry of the Interior.

Count Hofstetter, Minister of the Interior.

And Viscount Welder, Secretary of State for Resources.

I decided to see the information in the guest room at the Baron's mansion, where the Linz Counts are cordial.

The High Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior refers to the Politically Secret Police, which monitors the Ostomark Empire.

The aim is to eliminate the multi-ethnic state, the Ostmarc Empire, before it sprouts, in order to avoid its collapse by the independence movements of each nation.

It is not public how many people are detained by the High Police Department each year. But forecasts by the Foreign Office say 1,000 people a year won't drop.

But only a few of them really speak of separatism. It is rampant to arrest and detain a little pussy against emperors and nobles as a bud of rebellion......, Mr. Feene expected.

The reason for this, he said, is that the High Police Department can impose bureaucratic norms. Sending out 1,000 arrests a year is a norm, and that's why they're picking fictional separatists to achieve that norm, he said.

So I thought this time Jin Berkson was a fictional person, but that turned out to be different in yesterday's investigation.

Jin Berkson was real. It existed at least until a few days ago. But he disappeared from the ghetto, unknown to anyone.

Probably inside that high police station, Crosno Branch.

gossip (aside from that), I think what matters is the relationship between the Home Secretary and the High Police Department.

The High Police Service exists as an independent organization in the Uniform Imperial Law. Placed under the Ministry of the Interior are not administrative organisations with ministers or secretaries-general, the fact that competence in human resources rests with the Ministry of the Interior, and that it is more efficient to pick them up in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior for convenience: political police.

But no matter how rational the reasons are and under the umbrella of the Ministry of the Interior, the story is different when it comes to the person who operates it rationally runs the political police.

The Minister of the Interior shall use the High Police Station for his own benefit. The High Commissioner of Police also cooperates with the Minister of the Interior for his own prosperity.

And there's another person who will be the key in this case. That is Viscount Welder, the Secretary of State for Resources.

A Ministry of Resources is the newest province in the Ostmarc Empire. Originally the Resource Management Department of the Ministry of the Interior, it became independent seven years ago.

Seven years ago. That is, the year after Count Hofstetter assumed his post as Minister of the Interior.

It is not surprising that it was Hofstetter and the man of goodwill who was elected Minister of Resources.

The work of the Ministry of Resources also covers the management and development and utilization of agricultural, forestry and aquaculture resources and mining raw materials, as well as the management of human resources. Does it feel like the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Agriculture and Water, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare were added and divided by 4?

That authority, which is diverse, naturally becomes enormous. Naturally, the political presence of the Minister of Resources also grows.

And why these three want the Third Silesian Split War. Needless to say, that is the territory of the Duke of Krakowski in southern Silesia. In Silesia, once we have acquired this territory with a population and economic size comparable to that of the Wang capital Silonsk, our own nostalgia and the powers of the province will be stronger.

The Ministry of the Interior incites domestic public opinion and the High Police Department specifically implements it.

The stirred public opinion turns to His Majesty the Emperor through Baron Concilia, Minister of the Palace.

The Emperor decides to wage war in the form of being pushed by stirred national public opinion.

And there is actually a war to free the Duke of Krakowski from the evil kingdom of Silesia. Then the authority of the Ministry of Resources, which has acquired many new agricultural, forestry and aquaculture resources, mining industrial raw materials and human resources, becomes ever greater.

Perhaps the former Duke of Krakowski will change his name with Count Hofstetter on the recommendation of the Minister of Resources and others.

And it might be better if the High Commissioner of Police inherited the Earl Territory that Hofstetter originally had.

... Ha, you think people's countries are the same.

and that's when the door was knocked.

Captain, it's me.

It's Mr. Feene's voice.

... Yesterday, I said a lot of embarrassment. Thank you. I'm ashamed to see you. Well, you can't even pay up front. I answered briefly, "Go ahead," and encouraged her to come in.

but somehow after a minute she hasn't come into the room. What the fuck are you doing?

"Mr. Feene?

"Oh, yes, no. Excuse me."

That's what I said. She finally came into the room. The outfit is the same military uniform as yesterday, but the expression looks heartless or neat, as if the possessions were taken.

but at the same time she is rarely in a hurry. The movement of closing the door is not strange, and my hands and feet are out at the same time when I walk. It's a little funny to watch.

Well, you know, what? I can see that too. I guess you're in pretty much the same mood as me. I guess I'm embarrassed and can't keep my eyes peeled.

"... How's it going?

For now, if I don't untie her nervousness, I'll swing the subject appropriately.

"... it's okay. Thanks to the Captain."

I didn't do anything.

I remember saying a strangely appended dialogue. Blah, blah, blah. It's black history I want to forget.

"Still, I thank you. And it bothered me."

"I've never thought of Mr. Feene as annoying."

So do as you always do. Something strangely makes my back squirm.

"So, Mr. Feene. What can I do for you?

"Oh, no, that. I didn't think I had time to scrutinize the information yesterday because of everything, and I thought I'd help."

Mm-hmm. Apparently she doesn't really want you to touch what happened yesterday either. You look embarrassed.

I wanted to observe that face for a while, and I didn't even think about it, but, well, when I do it much, I really hate it, so I weigh myself in. Number one, it's about 75% of my fault you cornered her that far...

So let's just change the subject. Any more engagements will only drain both sides. Mainly my heart.

"It's just fine. Because I was just looking at the information too. Can I ask you a few questions?

"Okay."

With that said, Mr. Fine's face became as fortitude as usual. The usual, FBI Fine von Linz.

"Do you know why I was asked to investigate this Berkson case this time?

"... no. My father wouldn't talk to me."

Mm-hmm. Mr. Feene didn't even know what was going on. So you're saying there's a situation where you can't be too big on it?

... I think it's starting to sound frigid.

In the meantime, I showed Mr. Feene what I had been thinking. About the High Police Department, about the Minister of the Interior, about the Ministry of Resources. I have nothing but circumstantial evidence, but I'll tell you my hypothesis.

"I wonder why they called me."

"Isn't that... because the captain is someone you can trust?

"I'm glad you trusted me, but there would have been more."

Even Baron Jendolyn was chosen head of the investigation team because he was a trustworthy man, wasn't he?

Nothing. I just graduated from cadet school like me and I don't need to choose a 15-year-old kid. Besides, I'm a foreigner. The Count said something about why, but now that I think about it, they all lack persuasion.

"... aren't you saying that because you are a foreigner, or that only a captain could be trusted with a diplomat"

"Hmm, but why did you bother choosing a diplomat..."

Would you ask me to do something that would not be strange if I were to be impeached for interfering in my internal affairs?

It is more efficient to let people in your own country do it when it comes to their own national surveys. I don't bother making such a warrant for investigative cooperation, and in case the risk of information leakage is small.

Mr. Feene also had his right hand in his mouth to wonder if there was any doubt.

"Maybe..."

"Something on your mind?

"... this is an anticipation, but didn't my father try to make the captain do what only a diplomat could do"

"Only diplomats can...?

I wonder what it is. The only thing a diplomat can do. Speaking of what I did, diplomacy, and then collecting information and...

"The captain, no, the diplomat, has what we imperial subjects do not have. I think that's the key."

The anticipation Mr. Fine spoke of, I see, was certainly muscular.

But I think Count Linz is a pretty lame person trying to make me do that......
