Imperial Thoughts

When I was walking out of the conference room and thinking, "Well, what's going on?" Mr. Feene called me from behind.

"Major Yuzef, may I have a word?"

"It's good. It's just a waste of time, so can we walk?"

"It's okay. I'll be done in a minute."

Now that I have your permission, I will look at the material at hand while I match Mr. Feene's speed. Although I made a cheap contract because His Highness Emilia told me so, that's why I've never thought about such a massive operation. Thank you. I'm in trouble.

Incidentally, his Highness Emilia and Mr. Maya are going to the Governor's Office to communicate the results of the meeting to the Governor General. I mean, it's just me and Mr. Feene walking down the hallway from the conference room to the military inspector's office... that?

"What happened to Berkson?

"I let him go home first. Because there was something I wanted to ask the major."

Seriously. I haven't even wanted to talk to him in a while... Well, there's no choice, he'll be busy, too. He seems to have refrained from speaking during the meeting because he's not a martial arts officer, but he has his job.

I'm more concerned about what Mr. Feene wants to ask me than that. I guess I'm not talking about marriage or dinner again. I want you to stop throwing bombs at me anymore...

But Mr. Fine, walking beside me, asks me like I said I shouldn't.

"Didn't the Major have something in mind at the earlier meeting?

That's what they told me, and I stopped walking with them.

I guess that's what I said about the chief graduating lady in information. I walk out again thinking so.

"You've noticed very well"

"I haven't acted with Major on Dada in eight months, so I know that much"

Simply put, I'm gonna be dating for six years. You still don't know what Sarah's thinking, do you? Or is this just me being too blunt?

"I see there are other reasons not to support the republicans,"

"... do you also learn the art of reading people's minds at the Cadet School in Ostmarc?

"No, I'm just trying to guess"

"I see, that's just great"

Looks like he's definitely inheriting the Earl of Linz gene. You have a vessel that makes you a specialist in information. Why don't you come to Silesia and make a Silesian version of the CIA?

"Does reacting like that mean my guess was on?

"Right. Correct. So at last, guess what else I thought?

"You can't."

"Why?

"I've been thinking about it for a while, but I don't know why"

That's why I asked directly, right?

Well, good. It's useless to keep hiding until you find out.

"Okay. Just don't talk about it."

"It's okay."

"Then the correct answer is announced. The answer is," Because there's a reason for it within the Kingdom of Silesia. "

Then now it was Mr. Feene's turn to stop walking. I don't know if this answer was so unexpected or for any other reason.

"... can you tell me specifically?

That being said, Mr. Fine makes the walk resume at a slightly higher speed than earlier. Thanks to you, Mr. Feene dressed to come forward, but not otherwise very quickly, so I caught up with him right away.

"Specifically, because republicanism is an enemy of nobility."

"...?

"Republican system, in other words, makes' all the people a noble class'. If I hear Princess Emilia will support the republicans who will mark it, I don't know what the Grand Duke's nobles will think..."

"I see. On the contrary, if it means supporting the royalists, then you can make excuses to the Grand Duke: 'It is a battle to preserve the old order and interests'."

"That's what I mean"

I think republicanism is probably best for Carlsbert's folks. That would bring back political rights to the people, and freedom would be guaranteed.

But what if the idea enters Silesia, and there will be a Silesian revolution and the birth of the Silesian Republic? Many nobles will fear it.

So in the sense of crushing that dangerous bud, I crush the republican system.

"But the Major is supposed to be from the peasant class, right?

"Right."

"Don't you hate nobles?

"I hate you"

"But the Major says fighting republicanism to protect noble privileges. Isn't that contradictory?

"That's a little different. I fight the Republic for Princess Emilia."

Nothing. I don't hate democracy or republicanism. Rather, he seems to be an average Japanese, and he is not very familiar with this continent full of monarchies. Give more rights to civilians, I also think.

But making radical political reforms because of that cannot be said to be a good idea in Silesia today. If there is a serious revolution, it will only give neighbouring countries a pretext for intervention. That could be a bloody battle like the war of unification in Livonia.

I, the peasant class, fight republicanism to protect the privileges of the nobility.

Maybe future generations of history textbooks will say "Enemy of the civilian population".

"Are you convinced?

"Well, more or less."

Good. He understands. It just made me uncomfortable explaining this any more.

"Oh, yes, Mr. Feene. To whom does the Ostmarc imperial government intend to take sides in this civil war?

"I'm a royalist. The reason is pretty much the same as the Major's."

With my opinion. Does that mean you want a powerful system to be created while pushing the Kingdoms to lend a great deal?

"Have you decided what kind of support to give?

"... right. I don't think there will be any military dispatch, and I think it will end in indirect support that I have said is the supply of information and supplies"

"I see. I think it's a wise decision for domestic politics"

"... did you notice"

"Yep. I haven't been with Mr. Feene for eight months, so you know that."

Ostmarc and Carlsbert are deeply related because of their founding history.

I want to keep Carlsbert's civil war in my country's favor while suppressing the independence movement of many minorities within the Empire. Then you can't put out an army poorly.

So we leave it to Silesia and the royalists when it comes to real life, and the imperial government is a sight to behold? Well, it's a thankful story for poor Silesia as much as she can get support for supplies......

While we were doing this, me and Mr. Feene arrived in front of the military inspector's office.

"As the Major said, our empire will have Silesia pick up the chestnuts in the fire for its own national good. And I want to bring the kingdom of Karlsbert back to life under my own influence."

Mr. Fine just said that instead of saying goodbye. I knew it, but I still think that country is a big country. The idea of the Earl of Linz or the Marquis of Coudenhoff has also been readable step by step.

I'll hit Mr. Feene while I open the office door.

"And in the future, Ostmarc wants to form a coalition with Carlsbert, right?

…………

There was no response from Mr. Fine. I just rounded my eyes a little.

"I'm just kidding."

I said that instead of saying goodbye and closed the office door.
