Continental History Part 6

The official name of the Eastern Continental Empire is still the "Continental Empire".

This is a natural story because we call ourselves the inheritors of an authentic continental empire. But just like this self-proclaimed Continental Empire, there exists a nation on the western end of the continent that claims to be an authentic successor to the Continental Empire.

For that reason, it is customary to separate the two countries from each other as the Eastern and Western Empires, and only some patriots and official documents are supposed to call them the "Continental Empires" to be silly honest.

There are 59 emperors in such an eastern continental empire by 637 continental calendar. Since the continental calendar year is the time of the 20th emperor, 39 emperors will have been born during 637. That is, the average length of time in office per generation will be just over 16 years, but it is up to future generations of historians to see it as long or short.

That is because the average tenure of more than 16 years is a very normal number for what is called a dynasty.

This is not the case, however, given that it is 299 years since the 20th Emperor until the fall of the 32nd Emperor, which was an opportunity for the division of the Continental Empire. Whereas the average incumbency period from the 20th to the 32nd emperor was less than 25 years, the average incumbency period from the 33rd to the 59th emperor after the division of the Continental Empire would be 13 years.

This was due to the instability of the internal situation of the Eastern Continental Empire following the division of the Continental Empire, which was accompanied by the decline in the prestige of the Romanov Emperor family with the continuation of the murders of the Emperor and the Imperial Family as a result of intracourt struggles, and the frequent occurrence of social insecurities and recessions such as the arbitrary dictatorship of the nobility, which led to the replacement of the Emperor. If you think about it, it was often done in 13 years.

It is with great merit that this state of affairs was resolved by the 55th Emperor Purvel III, who took office in 555 Calendar Continental. Purvel III succeeded in stabilising the internal affairs of the Empire by reforming its internal affairs and shifting its foreign policy. The biggest policy of his achievements was the establishment of the "Anti-Silesian Alliance" in 559 Calendar Continental. Countries consigned by a common enemy called the Kingdom of Silesia were able to enliven economic and political exchanges and restore the prestige of the Emperor by recapturing the territory taken by the Kingdom of Silesia.

As a result, we will see that the internal conditions of imperial society are stable, even if we see that the average period of time in office from the 55th Emperor Purvel III to the 59th Emperor Ivan VII is about 20 years.

Now, the emperor as of the 637th calendar year of the continent is, as mentioned, Ivan Romanov X., but his assessment of Ivan X. is not fragrant.

"Be modest, mortal, be honest, darling."

That is the reputation of future generations of historians.

During the stagnation of the Eastern Continental Empire, he did not seek to carry out any special reforms. All I had to do was inherit all the good and bad policies carried out by the previous emperors and give it to the next emperor. During his reign there was no reform, and as a result the Eastern Continental Empire was left behind in time.

But this would have been better. It is undoubtedly the Spring War that darkened him.

Unleashed on his internal affairs reforms, Ivan X., awakened by his territorial ambitions, launches an invasion of his neighbour, the Kingdom of Silesia. It is the extreme of foolishness, such as invasion, with the sole purpose of stopping the reign of the Imperial Tai nephew Sergei Romanov, but it was thought to be the overthrow of the Eastern Continental Empire in terms of the difference in power between the two countries.

But at this time, in the Kingdom of Silesia, there appeared a rare military genius called the resurgence of Marek Silesia.

It is Emilia Silesia, First Princess of the Kingdom of Silesia.

She was a major at age 15 at the time of the war. At age 15, a major was a measure because she was royal, but her military genius was more than that.

Thanks to the operations set up by Emilia Silesia and the work of the good generals of the Royal Silesian Army, the Imperial Army of the Eastern Continent, the Silesian Expedition Force, is devastated. On the contrary, it will be the feather of being deprived of territory, and the authority of Ivan VII will be lost once and for all.

Ivan Xue, who heard reports of the defeat of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Continent, began to lay low on the hospital bed. Still, he says he never neglected politics. Most importantly, Ivan X. wasn't originally so keen on politics, so it's hard to appreciate if this is a commendable event.

It is said that the sudden awakening of his labor willingness by that time was the desire to say at any rate that he did not want Sergei to receive the Emperor and his love for his newborn great-grandson, Victor II. But the truth is unclear because he himself had nothing to say about Sergei or Viktor II since the Spring War.

By October 30, 637 on the continental calendar, Ivan X. 's medical condition had deteriorated more and more, making it difficult to continue his administration. For that reason, he had no choice but to give Sergei the authority to represent the Emperor and Sergei acquired the status of Imperial Chancellor the following October 31.

But even after all this, there is no way to say that Ivan X. 's assessment has changed. He retained his name in history as the biggest loser of the Eastern Empire, a darker who trivialized his internal affairs, and earned his place as "the enemy of absolute evil" in a historical novel featuring Emilia Silesia.

The words that rated him most favorably were:

"Emperor Sergei Romanov of the 60th Emperor"

is.
