Continental Hero Senki

Here lately, the office of the Governor of the Duke of Krakowski has often had strange guests come and go.

Everyone at the Grill Palzer Chamber of Commerce headed by Ms Lisel, consular officials such as Mr Fine and Berkson, and asylum capitalists from Carlsbert. Thanks to this, the Duke's Land has created an unprecedented buzz and chaos.

However, the name of the visitor who knocked on the door of the Governor's Office today, or the title of the person, came as a surprise as none other than those mentioned above. Someone who will probably be passed on to the history of future generations at the point where he comes to this governor's office.

In other words, it is Karel Tu Lihinov, descendant of the former King Karlsbert.

Nov 1 at 13: 40.

In the reception room next to the military inspector's office, the military inspector, His Highness Emilia, and his auxiliary role, me, the military counselor, and Maya, his deputy, confront him.

Mr. Lihinov has three escorts or a deputy, so there will be seven in the reception room. I don't have a small reception room, but I have a narrow shoulder.

"When I say descendants of the royal family, I'm remote, and after the republican transition, the 'two' crown is like a decoration. So you don't have to be too afraid."

Says Mr. Lihinov is now 20 years old. He hits the grandson of his cousin of Värzlaf Slavicek II, or his cousin grandson (Jüzen), who was the last king of the kingdom of Karlsbert.

And the kingdom of Karlsbert said that the influence of independence from the Ostomark Empire or the influence of Livonia on the way nobles are named remains. In the Livonian aristocracy, "von" is a crown that stands for aristocracy, but other than that, it is also called "two". Speaking of how different, it seems that what comes after "von" is the family name, and what comes after "two" is the territory name.

In other words, in the case of Fine von Linz, it would be "Mr. Fine of the Linz family", and in the case of the person sitting in front of me, it would mean "Mr. Karel governing Lihinov".

But there are currently no aristocrats in Carlsbert. I guess he was right, after the republican transition, he confiscated the territory he had into the country. Sounds a little "zama" to me. I won't tell you.

"So, Master Lihinov, what can I do for you?"

Her Royal Highness asks Lihinov as she grabs a cup with tea. Mr. Lihinov, on the other hand, has not spoken of the tea served from earlier. I wonder if you're a coffeemaker. I get a little intimacy.

"... Did you know there's civil unrest going on in my hometown this time?

"Yes."

I knew we were talking about it. No way. This is when I said, "How would you like to join us for dinner today?" I don't know... who said that, yeah. I don't know why, my stomach's starting to crack just remembering.

"And now the battle begins for me to be King Carlsbert again"

Hmm? That means Mr. Lihinov will be the nominal head of the royalists. The fact that such a person knocked on the door of the Governor-General's Office of the Duke of Krakowski......

"… I would like to ask you to help me in that battle"

---

Her Royal Highness Emilia told Ms Lihinov only that she would "respond after consultation with the central government" as "no immediate response". Mr. Lihinov did not ask for an immediate answer either, so he left one as a liaison officer in the Governor's Office to go back to the hotel where he was staying for the moment.

After confirming that he had left the Governor's Office, His Highness Emilia gave orders to me and Mr. Maya.

"Mr. Yuzef. I come to report to His Excellency the Governor. I would then like to decide on the future policy, so will you speak to the executives of the Krakow Garrison and Kingsguard Cavalry, and to that and the Ostmark Consulate?

"Okay. I'll arrange it right away."

"Thank you. Maya asks you to prepare a letter to report to the central government"

Copy that, sir.

Thus, inside the Governor's Office became a little rushed.

I thought Karlsbert and the Duke Krakowski territories weren't more than border fires across the shore, but I wasn't expecting you to come from the other side in this way.

Nov 8 at 15: 40.

A total of seven people gathered here, including His Royal Highness Emilia, Mr. Maya, Sarah, Chief of Section 3 of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment of the Kingsguard Division, Radek, Supplementary Staff Assistant to the Krakow Garrison, as well as Mr. Feene, a Martial Officer stationed at the Consulate of Ostmarc, and Berkson, a Second Secretary.

Regardless of the agenda, it concerns the civil war in neighboring Karlsbert Republic.

The councillor tells me what's going on with Carlsbert.

"On October 27, leaving, the presidential palace in Sokolov, the capital of Karlsbert, was set on fire. According to the official announcement of the country's government, interim President Edvart Harha, who had just finished his speech at the Presidency at the time, suffered minor burns. In addition, it appears that more than 80 staff members who were packing in the Presidency were burned to death, and more than 300 dead and seriously injured members of the general public and the Presidency staff who came to hear the President's speech."

Everyone in the conference room looked up to the incident, which could be described as tragic. The first person to open his mouth was Radek. Even he usually releases a word that feels pretty light, but he was just surprised by this and his eyes were serious.

"... you burned so flashy"

"Right. I think that's proof that it's not a sudden arson, it's an arson prepared around"

"So, who did it?

"The Republican Army Gendarmerie is' arresting 'the killer the next 28 days."

The culprit was, during the republican period, an executive of the Autonomous Civil Party, which was the first party in Parliament. There is also information that at least 700 persons have been nominated as such.

"But that's just the government's... So you're saying it's a national claim?

"Yes, I think His Highness Emilia is right"

There's nothing to prove, but there's also the possibility that this Presidential arson case is a selfie. Or maybe it's a Republican offense, as the government puts it, but it could also mean material for simultaneous picking.

But that's not important anymore.

"In any case, thanks to this incident, the republic has burned completely: on October 29 there was a simultaneous uprising of the republicans in the capital, Sokolov, and it appears that riots are taking place throughout the republic in the form of follow-ups to it"

But the information hasn't come in since it burned. That is because we are entering a state of civil war and the information is complex, and because the Silesian Embassy, which was the source of information until now, has closed. Information also comes from the displaced who came to Krakow after the civil war, but the information brought about lacks consistency and objectivity. I wouldn't trust you very much.

As a result, the status of Carlsbert after 30 days is unknown. Well, I guess it feels like a frontal clash between the current administration's national and republican factions from information up until then.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuzef.... Well, as you asked. With this in mind, it will be up to us to decide what we will do. Please give us a lively opinion."

The first speaker in response was Ms Fine, a resident martial officer of the Consulate of Ostmarc.

"Before that, Your Highness Emilia, what is the intention of the Government of the Kingdom of Silesia?

This big case, the Duke of One, can't be good on its own. So it would be normal to move as a nation to do anything. When Ms Fine said so, Her Highness Emilia received one letter from Mr Maya.

"We have received an official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our Kingdom. He said," We should deal with it in the best way we believe in the responsibility of the military inspector of the Duke of Krakowski. "

"... is that all?

"That's all."

Her Royal Highness Emilia said so with a smile, but Mr. Fine, who asked the question, was frightened. Well, I know how that feels.

The point is that the Foreign Office says, "It's troublesome, so think about it that way. Of course I'm not responsible! He said." I don't know who you are, but get to work. Foreign Affairs letter.

"Well, let's think about things, Mr. Fine. We can intervene in Carlsbert at our free discretion without worrying about Gotagota within the central government or the royal palace. You don't have to take responsibility if you achieve results."

"Ha..."

Mr. Feene and Berkson's Ostmarc Combination are once again dazzling faces. This is the status quo in the Kingdom of Silesia, so get used to it.

"You're right, Yuzef, this time it's good to say that we're empowered. That's why we're taking sides in this conference, the Carlsbert Civil War."

"I don't even have to think about it."

"Really?

"Yes, we should side with the royalists."

When I said that, the reaction of the members gathered in the conference room broke into three parts.

It was Mr. Maya and Radek who reacted with astonishment. I feel that you already had the conclusions of the meeting.

On the other hand, it was His Highness Emilia and Mr. Fine who reacted convincingly, "Well, I guess so". Apparently, they had come to a similar conclusion.

And finally, Sarah and Berkson, who haven't swallowed up the situation at all. My face says, "What are you talking about?" Berkson is still good, but Sarah's expression is as readable and helpful as ever.

In the meantime, I'll use Sarah as a reference to explain it to you. I haven't said a word since I got into the meeting, so I guess I don't know anything.

"It's out of the question to side with the national sect first. Needless to say, this."

It's a story about what a joke it is to join hands with someone who staged a coup five years ago and sprayed war on Silesia for the murder of His Highness Emilia. You'll understand that more with emotion than with reason.

Of course there are some parts that are out of the question in a rational sense.

The Patriarch is a pro-East Continental Imperial. To side with the Kingdom of Silesia, and with the Nationalists who join hands with the Empire of the Eastern Continent, the greatest virtual enemy of the Ostmarc Empire, could also help the Empire of the Eastern Continent. That's no good.

When I looked at the members of the conference room, none of them wanted to claim the side of the national sect. I understand it properly because Sarah was snorting, too. Probably.

"Which means we have a choice between republicans and royalists. So why did Yuzef choose the Kingslayer from both?

"It's easy. Because you can be grateful."

"Hmm?"

The national, republican and royalist strength ratio is 6: 3: 1, with the royalists at an overwhelming disadvantage. The Karlsbert Republican Army did have 30 divisions as of five years ago. Applying this as it is, the Capitol holds 18 divisions, equivalent to one unit of the Royal Silesian Army, and the Royalists have only three divisions.

This will never win the royalty. No matter how many triplets there is too much power difference.

But if Silesia and Ostmarc support the Kingdoms, this difference in power will be somewhat bridged, and we can find a way to live. What would the royalists think if the royalists who thought they would never win?

Easy. Appreciate the rain shower. "Thanks for your help. I'll do anything instead! I might say," or something. And then we follow it and we interfere in the internal affairs of the resurrected kingdom of Karlsbert, making it our country.

Moreover, fortunately, Karel Two-Rihinov, the head of the royalists, has officially made a request for assistance the other day.

Kampeiki!

"That would be if we could win, wouldn't it?

And a sober penetration from Sarah flew in. Good. You got a good understanding.

"Well. It's up to us to win."

"But if you're going to side with the weak, why not the republicans? Since only half of the national fighters are capable of fighting, I think they'd appreciate it if I supported them. And the Republic is definitely trying to make a pact with Silesia, isn't it?

"What Sarah is saying is the Silesia-Karlsbert Mutual Inviolability Treaty, isn't it? It wasn't because of the coup d 'état."

"Yes, that. If we help the Republicans, can we tie it together again?

Hmm. I do have that, too. But you still can't cover the Republicans. If President Kriegel had lived and pulled the republicans now, I would have put that in my options, too.

"I can't cover the republicans because the republicans are republicans"

"What are you talking about? I mean, what is republicanism in the first place!

I thought you needed to explain from then on... but this is also something you can't help. Democracy is still republican on this continent. The idea of democracy is still minor. Most continental countries like Silesia and Ostmarc are monarchies, and Livonia is oligarchy.

That's why I'm going to explain democracy. I've heard stories about republicanism and democracy being different, but it doesn't matter now and I don't need to explain it that deeply. I wish I could understand a democracy at the middle school level.

"Okay?

"... probably"

............... let's interpret it as understanding.

"I'll get back to you, but in a republican state, the process is troublesome. It can take a year to make one decision if you are bad in relation to making a decision by means of a parliament or election."

Monarchy or dictatorship can be decided in an instant with the voice of the crane of the Head of State. There are also shortcomings because it is decided in an instant, but in this case I would be in trouble if I could take the time.

Like, "Silesia's under attack, so lend me your army!" If Silesia says so. If you're a monarchy, you make quick decisions, if you're bad, that's what the army comes for in an instant.

But what if it's republican? They said, "I'll send them as soon as Congress approves," and in the meantime, they won't have to perish. There are limits to the power activation by the president, and it's more convenient for a royalist to sign the monarchy to make it easier to get through this demand.

That's why republicans don't aid.

We are also moving in the national interest, so it is only natural to support royalists whose national interests are easily reflected.

"Like I get it. Like I don't get it..."

Sarah's head shorted.

But it's important, so you can't just not explain it, can you?

After explaining everything, I ask His Highness Emilia for her consent. Your Royal Highness has the right to decide.

"I also think Mr. Yuzef is right.... What about the idea of the Ostmarc Empire, Mr. Fine"

"I also agree with Major Yuzef. If you're going to be on my side, the royalists will be the best."

The consent of His Highness Emilia and Mr. Fine was obtained. A vote was passed on nature and royalist support because there were no objections since then. The rest is when and how to intervene, but His Highness Emilia had already made that decision.

"Now let's form a unit and head straight to Carlsbert"

"Immediately, sir?

"Yes. If we don't get there soon, forces other than Silesia and Ostmarc may intervene and be unable to thank us. Besides, if the civil war prolongs, there will be considerable damage to Carlsbert's people and the national economy. You can't see that."

I see. In a way, it seems His Highness Emilia is right.

"Does Mr. Yuzef disagree?

"No, I will obey His Highness Emilia's judgment"

"... ok"

Her Royal Highness laid down her eyes for a moment, but soon returned to her usual fortitude and began to skip directions to everyone in the conference room.

"Mr. Sarah!

"What?"

"I request the Third Cavalry Regiment as First Princess Emilia Silesia. The Duke's army I can move is about 3,000, which is unforgivable, so he wants me to join him in this."

"... Emilia's going to Carlsbert too?

"Naturally. I am the commander of the Duke's army."

Sarah was lost for a moment, but at the end of the day, as a soldier, she followed the instructions of Colonel Emilia, whose rank was higher, and replied as a soldier.

"Got it. That's what I'll tell Colonel Meisel, the commander of the regiment."

"Please."

When His Highness Emilia says so, Sarah busily salutes and leaves the room. Her running face is heartless or smiling, and she's probably happy to be able to go out with Her Highness Emilia.

"Mr. Radek."

"What is it"

"It's related to Sarah's order earlier, but I want you to lend me personnel from the Krakow garrison because we don't have enough fighting power. As was the case the other day, it is a formal request as a military inspector. And."

"And?"

"I want Mr. Radek to be our supply staff for this expedition."

Radek, who heard it, turned out to be a facetious expression. Well, I think I look the same. It was a little unexpected.

"Am I good?

"Mr. Radek is good. I only know Mr. Radek, a trusted supply staff."

"... then you have no reason to reject me"

"Thank you"

Radek leaves the room niggling. It was a little disgusting. No, I know how you feel.

"Will Maya help me form a specific unit with me?

"I understand. I'll do anything alone, though?

"You can't say that unscrupulous. I'm sure you're busy."

Mr. Maya colludes with His Highness Emilia.

Even so, to His Highness Emilia. To Mr. Maya. Sarah, Radek going out with you? Ever since.

I probably can't. Not only military inspectors but even military counsellors can leave their places......

"Mr. Yuzef."

"Yes. What is it?

"Join Mr. Yuzef on this expedition as an operational staff member."

"... Huh?

"Are you dissatisfied?

"Yes, no, that's... are you sure? There will be no one left in the Duke's military division."

I don't think it's a good idea that no one is responsible, though how much things are pressuring you.

"It's okay. We've already got His Excellency the Governor."

"When..."

"Yes. So can you please? I want you to stay with Yuzef, who I trust."

... Shit, I'm crying a little.

Good. His Highness Emilia trusted me... Then I have to live up to that trust.

"Okay. I offer it to His Royal Highness with a wonder."

When I said that, His Highness Emilia laughed and nodded at me. Yeah, it's good to be alive.

"Finally, Mr. Fine"

"Yes."

"I'm asking for information on this."

"Okay. After consulting the consul, we will draw an early conclusion"

"Thank you"

Thus, the meeting was concluded.

Everyone moves out busily. Much to do. I'm no exception to that now that I'm operational staff, I'll have to think about the content of the operation, the dates, the route, etc., for now.

For the first time in a year, I'm going to be on the battlefield, and for the first time in action since I joined the army.
