Continental Hero Senki

The compromise with the Imperial Diplomatic Envoy of the Eastern Continent follows a parallel line.

At the "Third Conference", held on 23 April, statements will be made calling for concessions to be made to the Imperial Government of the Eastern Continent through the intermediation of diplomatic missions in Ostmark and Schauenburg, or through assistance. But the imperial government stubbornly refuses this.

Shortly after this, something a little funny happened.

It was the proposal made by the diplomatic mission of the Union of Livonia Nobles "not to discuss in the argument only the territorial transfer of Valavillier". The point is, we showed a compromise...

"Does this mean that the Livonia government still wants to uphold the framework of the anti-Silesian alliance?"

Maya, who was present at the meeting as an escort to His Highness Emilia, guessed so.

It was her assumption that Livonia's submission of this compromise was not a kind of flair for the imperial government of the Eastern Continent.

"That's a subtle place. It is unclear with what eyes Livonia looks at the current situation on the continent in the first place. If, like Ostmarc, we are wary of the extension of the Eastern Continental Empire after the demise of Silesia, this action can also be seen as a cover fire against the Kingdom of Silesia. But if you want to stick to the anti-Silesian alliance, you're probably right about Maya."

"It's possible that both."

"Yep. … in which case, is the word neutral?"

"No, you should say opportunism in this case"

Whether Silesia perishes or not, or the Eastern Continental Empire does not have to be the enemy of Livonia, it acts in such a way that it can fall either way. Let me think of you as an ally of Silesia. Let me think of you as... of the Eastern Continental Empire. It still means that... of Silesia.

Most importantly, this could have been a failure to see the reaction on the part of the Eastern Continent Empire.

"Until now, I've only cared about the Eastern Continental Empire, but is it possible that Livonia needs to be similarly vigilant? We need to gather more information on this place."

"Right. Even so, whether our Foreign Ministry is willing to..."

What a hard story that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the political enemy that needs to be most helpful in order to grasp the international situation.

The following 24 April.

Informal meeting with Claudia von Linz, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the Ostmarc Empire, and Mr. Fine, Liaison Officer, and with me and His Highness Emilia. Maya and Sarah were just about to wait outside the door...... but Sarah said,

"Nothing, it's useless to be with you..."

And he went away somewhat puffy. I didn't say it was useless... But I couldn't let Mr. Claudia wait, and unfortunately I couldn't follow her because she disappeared to some place early again.

But thank you. In this case, it seems that it is not Sarah or Fine who brings in the turbulence, but Claudia. Reason? Don't ask me.

"Hmm, what do you think?

"No, you know, I'm glad you left before..."

"Er..."

No, I really don't want you to ask. It breaks my bones to give the same explanation over and over again.

The main point of the story should be an operational meeting on how to bring it to the conclusion of the Convention in the future.

Mr. Claudia reluctantly left me, so I can finally think about it... no way. Your eyes from Mr. Feene hurt, and you feel a little on your back, don't you?

"Uh, uh, well. The outcome of the war was the empire's spare defeat, so I think the territorial transfer and compensation payments, one of which the empire will concede. What is holding it back is probably the internal politics of the empire. In other words, there will be a dispute between the Emperor and the Great Nephew of the Crown."

At the time of gathering information prior to the meeting, according to information Sarah obtained from State Department officials in the "Wang Xuan (Shepta)", Imperial Chancellor Sergei has not relieved himself of his vigilance against the imperial nobility, which is a political enemy. Perhaps we are in the midst of twitching and spreading our own forces while pointing our nerves not to give them the name of rebellion.

"So what we should suggest to them is not humiliating peace"

"That's the thing, Your Highness"

"Then… it seems difficult to transfer territory"

I don't know which faction the nobility ruling Valavillier or Ludmina is, but either way, that could be an opportunity for rebellion. While Emperor Ivan Xue is alive, the Emperors want Sergei out of the battle for succession to the throne.

"Major Yuzef. So the compensation issue, too. Aren't they reluctant? I have agreed to provide expenses for the liberation of prisoners, but paying compensation is still synonymous with losing."

And, Mr. Feene.

"No, if they agree with the prisoner liberation cost offering, I think we should do it"

"Saying?

"The point is, you have to pay the compensation in the name of the cost of liberating the prisoners."

Pay compensation = lost, the imperial nobility is seen as...... as Ms Fine put it.

So what if it's not in the name of compensation? Suppose, for example, it is a cost for the return of soldiers who obeyed the orders of the imperial government and fought for their lives.

No way could I ketch that cost, and Sergei, in fact, showed his agreement on the matter. Then all you have to do is put the compensation into the cost of liberating the prisoners.

On the face of it, the cost of liberating prisoners, essentially compensation.

Compensation does not have to be "money" at this time. You can pay the corresponding resources and supplies instead of compensation to a carriage to carry prisoners coming from the Empire.

"I see. Then the emperors have no name for rebellion. Instead, 'under circumstances where compensation may be taken, the compensation item was often removed' and, conversely, Sergei's rating might rise. Is that what this is all about? You're pretty amazing."

And, Mr. Claudia guesses. No, I didn't think about the second half at all. I didn't mean to support the prime minister of such an enemy country...

Besides, Mr. Feene puts a chase on this.

"Besides, the rivalry between the Kings and the Grand Duchy within the Kingdom of Silesia will also be successfully avoided. It was true that the name 'payment of compensation' could not be made, but it is essentially a compromise, so you would be convinced by the Kings that 'renounce the name and get the fruit'. Since the Grand Duchy nobility is also in a position to cooperate with Sergei, we should not be opposed to this text, which Sergei does not lose. There may be some attacks due to nominal problems, but it's easy to seal your mouth because there's substantial compensation."

"Wow!" Mr. Fine sends his eyes. I'm sorry, I didn't think that far. Mr. Feene, that's amazing, I can't believe I could think of that.

His Royal Highness Emilia listened to Mr. Claudia and Mr. Feene and seemed to be thinking about it. Rather than being lost, it was the look on the face of the feeling that thought was entering the next phase.

"Then I would like to raise the matter with His Majesty from me and enter into discussions with the Foreign Affairs Letter and others. I would say that in conjunction with the remaining territorial assignment issue...... do we still have to give up on this one? It's not that there are no defense problems…, it's what the Under-Secretary General of General Operations said."

When His Royal Highness said here, "defense problems", he probably meant that "when the territory is ceded, the border lines move forward and the front is only longer for that matter and the soldiers are dispersed". It is impossible in the current finances of Silesia to set up or expand a new military base with it…

Well, it's not like I don't have a plan about that either. It doesn't change my opinion that I will give up on the territorial transfer, but I think it is fruitful other than the territorial transfer.

Even for each other.
