Continental Hero Senki

"The Empire rebuilds. That may be the default route. The question is, what should we do?"

Mr. Fine said so while tapping the cup of tea he had finished drinking with his fingertips. The sound of cuttlefish and ringing pottery echoes into the quiet Ostmarc Embassy Reception Room.

"What are we gonna do... why don't we just jam it?

And, Sarah. "Yuzef can do it, can't he? You look like," but no, I don't want it to be that easy.

"We need agents, whether we interfere or gather more information. The status quo, Silesia - no, the faction of His Highness Emilia, I think - has not been able to send operatives to the Empire of the Eastern Continent. If we try to send them in, the Grand Duchy will jam them or report them to the Empire."

To my words, His Royal Highness Emilia will add.

"In addition, there are few people we can trust. Even if we send people to the Empire, they could betray the Grand Duke and the Grand Nephew of the Crown and become double agents."

"... well, no"

Sarah squished. And Julia is on her knees. What is this sight?

Well such a near-parent child (?) Forget it.

"Hmm, you can't. Precisely because you can't send in agents to jam you, you're not denied jamming measures."

"Really?

"Yeah, we just need to be able to send operatives in a trustworthy, Grand Duke way."

"... can you?

"... I don't know"

I don't know what to say to myself, but I don't think it's possible. I don't mind my own boarding the Eastern Continental Empire if it's possible, but I'm definitely suspicious because unlike when I was in Ostmarc, and more importantly, I'm noticeable.

Yuzef Waresa wants to live quietly. For what it's worth.

Well, you can't do it in this situation. No matter how hard I try, I don't think peaceful times will come in the next few decades.

For now, it is better to end tomorrow's battle than to hope for peace in a few decades' time. If it is impossible for Silesia to send in agents, Ostmarc can send them, or via Ostmarc.

So I suggested to Mr. Feene that she look bitter and say:

"... it must be difficult. Uncle Modesto Benkendorf, the head of the Emperor's Office Policing Bureau - this is the only political secret police force in the Eastern Continent Empire - seems to be moving vigorously. They're probably picking up disturbing elements inside, monitoring the Imperial faction."

"I mean, the Home Secretary is also being investigated and his relationship with Ostmarc is emerging?

"That's the thing. As things stand, Sergei working on internal affairs reform will not declare war on our country, but will also strengthen surveillance over us"

"I see."

When neither Silesia nor Ostmarc can do it, the rest is around Carlsbert or Raskino? But Carlsbert is just after the end of the civil war and the country is still unstable, Raskino is too small a country to do so.

Is that unpacked?

His Royal Highness Emilia had also reached that conclusion, with a deep sigh.

"Ha... When that happens, is all we can do is give an opinion on the conclusion of the treaty? I don't know how much you listen to me..."

...... hmm? What did you just say?

"What's a treaty?

"Er, it's a pact of reconciliation with the Eastern Continental Empire. Once the winner is supposed to be us, I think it will be a treaty somewhat advantageous."

"Hmm, but is that Sergei? Does it work for?

"I don't know who Sergei is, but I don't think we can ignore the Guinier truce agreement. It involves the trust of the state, and even if the head of state changes, these treaties and agreements will not be nullified."

"Heh..."

Yeah, well, even if there is a communist revolution in the Eastern Continental Empire and it becomes a flag country with red and yellow stars, sickles and hammers painted on it, the treaty won't be null and void. That can only be discarded in bilateral negotiations.

That's not true. It's not there that matters.

"My lord Emilia, how much can we give an opinion on that pact of reconciliation?

"What? Um, nothing has been negotiated yet, and the draft pact for reconciliation will be made at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If I could speak, I would say via your father, so I think it would be difficult at the draft stage."

Can't it be done with a draft? But the contents to be included in the draft include the assignment of former Silesian territory, the liberation of prisoners and the payment of compensation. Which one of these days will be swallowed depends on the negotiations with the Empire, but there are certain matters to be swallowed. You can use that.

"... and you look like you're thinking bad, Major."

"You shouldn't listen to bad things. It's very serious."

"Hmm? What is it?

"No, I thought I'd use the prisoner to gather information."

"............... Yes?

Mr. Fine solidified. "What are you talking about," he said.

"Major Yuzef"

"Yes."

"I'm not questioning your findings any more, but can you be specific?

I've heard it on a direct ball, not even like Mr. Feene.

Her Royal Highness Emilia wonders, too, and throws questions.

"Using the prisoner as an operative is the norm, but Mr. Yuzef thought it would lead to the empire today?

"Yes. I think I can. Anyway, my kingdom of Silesia won a large number of prisoners during the Spring War."

"But will the prisoners hear what our country has to say? The serfs will benefit from the reform of the Empire if they do nothing..."

Surely you can't spy on a serf-man. Because there is limited information that can be collected by serfs in the first place.

"He's not a serf, he's a nobleman."

That's what I say, I tell you what I think. It's still a plan in my head or a phase of paranoia, but if it goes well, the Grand Duchy and the eyes of Crown Prince Nephew Sergei Romanov will be deluded.

When I finished explaining all that, His Highness Emilia, Mr. Feene, and even Sarah, who wouldn't know half the story, looked like "Wow......" What, what is it? Is that so weird!?

"Yuzef."

"Hey, why should I?"

"I'm not sure what you're talking about, but that's all I can say."

Sarah said this after one breath.

"You're probably more of an out-of-town person than anyone else, right?

Hiya.
