Continental Hero Senki

April 25.

A forum for discussion on compensation payments and territorial transfers, which we called prisoners' liberation costs, was set up at the Hotel Pearl Star (Spica), close to Fort Castelletto.

Content alone. This discussion is informal and private, and there are few attendees.

Attendees on the side of the Kingdom of Silesia will be His Majesty the Chief Franz and his secretary, His Highness Emilia and his assistant, Maya, as well as the Foreign Affairs Letter Valdemar Grabarcik and his secretary. The opposing Eastern Continental Empire side will be represented at this secret meeting by the Chief Chancellor Sergei Romanov, the Secretary of State and the Secretary of State of the Emperor and the Minister of Military Affairs as auxiliaries to the Chancellor.

There are no attendees from third countries such as Schauenburg or Ostmarc, Livonia or Carlsbert.

And speaking of me, I'm in the modem next to the room where the secret meeting is taking place, waiting with Mr. Sarah and the humans on the side of the Eastern Continental Empire.

I hope you're not at the meeting again, or something. It is not the curtain for a single commander to come out. Because I'm mourning a situation where Mr. Fine asked me to "assist His Highness Emilia" but I'm not at all able to assist her. Well, Your Highness doesn't normally need an assistant to small things like me because he can think things through.

But it doesn't mean you keep your mouth shut while you're in the pantry. Once I see someone from the Eastern Continental Empire, he'll talk to me quite a bit. It's pretty awkward. In many ways.

"Is the liberation of prisoners a substitute for compensation? I'm glad you thought about our position. Sounds like a time when we were swapping prisoners for money, but I think this is the best solution. Maitrix (...) Kun"

"Um, no more of that name..."

The person in front of me, the handsome man who refreshed Sarah in the tavern Wang Xua (Shepta) and disappeared somewhere in charge of the imperial State Department bureaucracy, thought he was sighing a great deal in the coffee shop Margrethe day after that.

Imperial Army Major General Mikhail Kreutzer. He is a samurai martial officer of Imperial Chancellor Sergei Romanov.

Reunited in an important diplomatic conversation that gave you a pseudonym for such a person. It is such a lapse that I want to open the window and jump right now. Mr. Feene was whining about his name in a meaningful way then, possibly because he knew about this.

"I don't care. We have a position and a mission, and I took care of myself. Your lady seems better than anything."

"... Hi"

and this is the reason for the awkwardness. Do you understand me, this air?

I'm Joseph Maitrix right now, and you don't know what kind of reply to help Sarah is good for, but Mr. Kreutzer doesn't care and he talks to me and it's an unspeakable air.

Your Highness, hurry up and get the meeting together!

"So, Major Maytox again Waresa. Has Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia given thought to this proposed revision of the Treaty?

"... no"

The measure of lying here again was not on the boulder. I didn't see any particular reason why I had to lie. I didn't even want to make the relationship any worse by lying poorly.

"So who is it?

"It's me. To be precise, it is an improvement that I propose and that His Highness Emilia has made."

"I see. That's a big deal that year."

Yes, Mr. Kreutzer praised. I think that's a real compliment to observe the word sarcasm from his seemingly tender face that he doesn't seem to know... Maybe you're making a hell of a fool out of me behind it.

Proposed revision of the Treaty of Reconciliation between the Kingdom of Silesia and the Eastern Empire.

The revision involved the deletion of items relating to compensation and territorial transfer. And add new items. That is what I would say is the highlight of this secret meeting.

"Set a 'buffer zone' instead of abandoning the territorial transfer request? That's what I was thinking."

Mr Kreutzer did not say that it was good or bad, but rather that he appreciated the text I had proposed.

The specific text is as follows:

the establishment of a buffer zone of 100 kilometres wide in the bilateral border zone on the part of the Empire of the Eastern Continent, not authorising the cantonment of the Imperial Army of the Eastern Continent and the construction of military installations in the said area; It should be noted that the cantonment of a minimum force for policing purposes in the area concerned is permitted as an exception. sending martial officers from the Kingdom of Silesia to the area in order to monitor whether the demilitarity of the area is being complied with; This text can only be modified on the occasion of peaceful talks between the two sides and cannot be accepted without the approval of both countries.

A detailed text follows, but this time a discount.

"With this buffer zone, even if our country tries to invade your country again, you will have time to spare. If you have 100 kilometers, you will have about five days to a week to spare, and in the meantime you will be able to gather information and build a defence system."

"... you have that interpretation too"

No such interpretation or anything, it is a text that assumes it.

With this buffer zone, we can gauge exactly where and how many armies are coming from, and that's all the defensive side works in our favor. The next war doesn't necessarily mean that prior intelligence gathering can be perfect, like the Spring War. Nor is the construction of military installations permitted, so it is not possible to build a supply base in the buffer zone, and the problem of the barracks arises during the invasion.

In other words, it intentionally creates a zone that is difficult to invade and easy to defend.

But it also benefits the Eastern Continental Empire side. The area concerned is only a buffer zone and not a Silesian territory. Just let it mean a military blank zone, and the sovereignty of that region lies with the Empire of the Eastern Continent.

In other words, the Eastern Continental Empire does not have to abandon Valavillier or Ludmina. This should make the rebellion of the imperial aristocracy small.

The question is… whether this is swallowed. Even if swallowed, is the length of 100 kilometres acceptable or what will be the combination with the compensation issue? There should probably be a debate going on in the neighborhood.

But since I came to this modest room, I've stopped considering that issue. Because I feel like I've found a bigger problem.

That is the man in front of you, Mikhail Kreutzer.

"Now the Kingdom of Silesia can have peace. That's what I'm saying."

……

I felt it was a word with nothing behind it.

But for some reason, I thought they said, "What you're doing is useless."

I got a little nervous about whether this was okay or not.

---

After about an hour, the door to the next room opened and His Highness Emilia and others came out from inside. The look on His Highness Emilia's face is a little dark.

Mr. Kreutzer rushes over to Sergei Romanov, and me and Sarah approach His Highness Emilia. After completing a full greeting, His Highness opened his mouth with regret after confirming that the Imperial Diplomatic Envoy of the Eastern Continent had left.

"… the setting of an unarmed buffer zone is likely to mean 50 km"

"Really... no, but I think it's a big harvest ant"

It is true that 100 to 50 kilometres have been reduced considerably, but it is nevertheless significant in itself that we were able to set up an unarmed buffer zone. The rest will be handled depending on the operation.

"What about the prisoner liberation?

"That's okay. However, the phrase over there is" if you wear the buffer zone settings as well ", so what exactly happens..."

"Well, that won't help either. You never get sick."

"... Yes. Thank you."

With that said, Your Highness was not well.

"Emilia, are you okay?

…………

I haven't heard from Sarah for a while either. Sarah said again, "Emilia?," he said, finally showing a reaction.

"It's okay. I'm just a little tired."

"... really?

"Yes, it's true"

But that day, His Highness Emilia never ended up regaining her former temper all day.
