"Is something wrong?

When I was roaring in the operational conference room in the fortress alone, Mr. Maya snickered at me. I don't see His Highness Emilia, so apparently she's the only one.

Mr. Maya is sitting next to me, waiting for my word. Well, it's good because I was just hoping to get someone else's opinion, too.

"I'm a little worried. About three."

"Three. You're always worried about multiple things."

Well. Trouble here lately is my job, and I hang on to it more or less.

That's just like shaping the country, too. Obviously not a 16-year-old job. No, well, I'm actually 16 and 240 months old.

While I'm sighing deeply, I'll tell Maya three things that seem to bother me.

"First, you're talking about the information you just came in from the reconnaissance unit. I'm sure Maya knows this..."

"Oh, three nationalist divisions in Vranov, right?

"Yep."

Vranov close to the border with the Ostmarc Empire. The Nationalists definitely moved their troops because they wanted to prevent the royalists from taking Vranov and consorting with Ostmarc.

Ma, it's pointless because the royalists already have their hands on Silesia and Ostmarc.

"I was worried about what to do with this."

"... ignore it?

"Which one?"

As it stands, we are supported by supplies and information from Ostmarc. But for the convenience of travelling through Karbina and the Duke of Krakowski, information and supplies are coming rather late.

Especially the delay in supplies. The time of arrival of supplies via Carbina is about 4-5 days, and if there is an accident along the way, it will take more than a week. And if the supply line stretches, the chances of missing supplies in transit will increase, and the burden on the escort of the Heavy Troops will be significant. Even though he has less power, he can't attack any more if his escort sucks his soldiers off.

Some say they collect from Krakow and from every rural area in the eastern part of the republic under royalist rule, but that still costs money. The basics of local sourcing of supplies are cash payments. There is no way to plunder and lower the liking of the local population more than to govern the Republic permanently.

But if we drop Vranov and pave a new way with Ostmarc, these problems will improve at once. Vranov is located less than two days by carriage from Esterburg, the empire capital of the Ostmarc Empire, and you will reach it within three days, even from the Fortress of Ormutz.

The information and the food arrive fresh. This is huge.

"Hooray."

"I'm not bothered if it's just hail."

"So is that. What's the problem?

"There are three divisions in Vranov, that's the problem."

There are four divisions and five divisions, including the Emilia Division, for all the power of the Royalists. However, one division each must be placed in the defence of the fortress and the carbina. Then this one has three divisions.

Attacks on garrisons guarded by three divisions in three divisions are highly challenging. Even if we succeed in this at last, we don't have enough power to sustain Vranov.

Unless, like Division 4, it means that prisoners pledge allegiance to His Majesty, we can't put such a high element of uncertainty at the core of our strategy and...

"and not enough fighting power. Speaking of greed, you want about five more divisions. There's too much power difference with the national sect."

"There's nothing I can do about that where I just said it. You can't ask your government to help you."

Yes. Unlike Raskino, this is in that His Highness Emilia is supposed to be arbitrary. Besides, we cannot ask for any further burdens on the Kingdom of Silesia, which continues to be unable to move due to financial difficulties.

Or if His Royal Highness Emilia asks His Majesty the King for help...... no, no, no, you can't do that. I don't care what you think.

"Well, you should decide this at the Operation Chase meeting. It looks like neither the enemy is going to mount an aggressive offensive against this fortress, so we have plenty of time, don't we?

"... right"

It's not like time will fix it, but this isn't something I can decide on my own... Yeah, but it's really hard. I want combat power. A lot of war power gives me more tactical options, he said.

"So, what's the second problem?

"Oh, right. Well, this is more about anxiety than worries... what is it?"

"Say it."

"... I'm concerned about the trend of the Union of Livonia Nobles."

"Livonia's...?

"Yes."

The Union of Livonia Nobles is also involved in the history of Carlsbert's border and the founding of this country. It is a strange story that such a country will not intervene in this civil war.

Ostmarc cannot intervene actively because of his ethnic minority ties, which Ms Fine told me, but Livonia, a mono-ethnic state, is not.

"Is Livonia intervening or not in this civil war? If you do, I'm wondering how you're intervening."

"I see. You do have that. If that country decides it cannot tolerate authoritarianism in Silesia or Ostmarc, can it also consider assisting the national or republican sects?"

"Yep. Then the Kingdoms will lose because of the difference in national power, more than Ostmarc can fully intervene."

"If the royalists lose, there will be no point in our intervening. And will Carlsbert remain a virtual enemy,"

"That's what I'm talking about"

I am also concerned that the story of what the Union of Livonia Nobles is thinking has not come in at all. It pierced my non-intervention in the spring war, which began at the discretion of the Emperors of the Eastern Continent, but that's not why his country became an ally.

If Livonia were to support it, which forces would it be? Isolated and helpless republicans or promising to win, with deep connections to the Eastern Empire?

Or will it not give to any force, but will it launch a fourth force and invade? Don't bother with the civil war getting muddy any more...

Is Maya making a similar inference or is she gradually frowning? If you do that too much, it will leave a wrinkle. Maya is not young anymore. No, Mr. Maya. He's still in his early 20s.

"Yuzef. What if Livonia actively starts supporting forces hostile to the royalists?

"... abandon the royalists"

It's a harsh story, but I don't know if it's going to happen, Carlsbert. I can't risk the Kingdom of Silesia to protect the Second King. It is auspicious to withdraw quickly before the damage is greater.

No, or there's the hand of using the Ormutz fortress as a border to divide and rule Carlsbert.

That way, at least the Kingdom of Silesia will no longer have to worry about aggression on the Carbina side, so we can gather forces in Kobari.

If Vranov falls under this side of the force, he'll make progress on his deal with Ostmarc, and if that's all he can do, he'll be in black.

"That said, this is also still at the hypothetical stage. As it stands, there is no talk of Livonia intervening actively."

"Right. If we build up any more arguments, it'll only be an airborne theory on the desk."

In the meantime, this issue is pending, too.

... I haven't resolved anything in a series of holds after all by talking to Maya. No, that helps because I'm gonna be pretty light at the time I reveal my worries.

"So, what's your last problem?

"Oh, yeah. You said there were three, right? Me"

I totally forgot. I almost finished the conversation. Maya is laughing at the strangeness of it.

"Don't forget what you said"

"Excuse me. So that's my last concern... it's kind of personal"

"What do you mean?

"Um... Sarah's been acting weird lately."

When I said that, Mr. Maya's face hardened. Probably because the level of talk suddenly dropped even though the country was talking about what strategy.

"... uh, tell me more"

"Yes. Even so, I don't know the details, either. When I try to talk to Sarah, she runs away somewhere... and she hates me."

It's the first time in the last six years that Sarah's been in that attitude. It was more or less a punch or a kick, but I didn't expect you to run away. It was after I kicked him in the face to beat him even if he wanted to run away, and I wonder what, he didn't like it when he looked at me...

When I was squirming like that, Mr. Maya slapped him on the shoulder with a pomp.

"Sometimes I say that."

"... Yes"

I don't need that comfort......
