Continental Hero Senki

"Well, let's get back to it."

I had forgotten my original purpose because of the exuberance of some former lieutenant general's story, but the main point of this one is the exchange of information.

There are four main methods for collecting information in intelligence agencies. Osint, Hummint, Siggint, Corinth.

Osint's method of carefully scrutinizing publicly available information to find important information. Analyze official government statements and official gazettes, for example. Although it sounds good when it comes to espionage, most of that activity is classified as this ossint.

Hummint is a way of gathering information via humans. Contact with government dignitaries, hear from people who know the circumstances, lure them out, or put them in a trap. To put it plainly, Conne. That's what I did when I was at the Ostmarc Embassy.

Next siggint. This is about technical information activities, such as censoring and decrypting mail, capturing biographical pigeons and transmission horses. But communication technology isn't developed. It may not be very important on this continent.

And finally, Corinth. This is the way separate intelligence agencies gather information to complement each other's areas of expertise. Exchange information or teach the means of gathering information. This is what I'm trying to do this time.

The specialties of the intelligence services of the Kingdom of Silesia, the Security Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior and the Statistics Department of the Duke's Office of Territorial Administration relate to the Grand Duke of Carroll, the pro-East Continental Imperialist within the Kingdom of Silesia, as well as the Carlsbert Vintage Kingdom and the Eastern Continental Empire.

In contrast, the Ministry of Information, an intelligence agency of the Ostmarc Empire, is good at trends in the neighboring Second Reich of Christ and the Union of Livonia Nobles with historical and ethnic connections.

Teaching each other information about this area of expertise will be a real exchange of information without borrowing. I've been relying on Ostmarc to collect information for a long time, so I'll have to pay for quite a bit of information as interest...

"Well, let's start with me..."

And I'm going to give you information first.

Having said that, the situation in neighbouring countries is very recent. It's about a former lieutenant general who's working a plot in sight.

"One item. I'm sure you know that the other day the wedding of Archduke Carol Silesia and Marquis Marcelina Panuvnica took place, but that's the trend of the national envoys invited to that wedding."

Immediately after the Aeresund Convention was signed and His Majesty Franz and His Highness Emilia returned to Silesia, the Palace Ministry notified them that they would perform the wedding.

Well, sometimes it was called a royal wedding and His Highness Emilia said it was flashy. As much as Baron Gurshka, the financial writer, was screaming a little.

Besides, a wedding reception can also be a diplomatic venue. I mean, it's diplomacy just because great people from all over the country have come together.

But for this wedding, there was no flashy move. Sometimes it was not possible to explore it on a very large scale because it was about people from the Ministry of the Interior who were able to stay at the reception, but there was nothing suspicious about whether they were wary or not.

If I may say so, to the extent that Grand Duke Carroll spoke with the Eastern Continental Empire ambassadors time and time again, that is now the case.

"Second. In the Eastern Continental Empire, it looks like another new policy is about to be implemented. It's still in the drafting stage."

"Like what?

"This is the establishment of the 'police'."

"... is it the secret police?

Mr Fine said so, but this is a mistake. I do refer to "police = political secret police" on this continent. But it exists in the Empire under the name of the Emperor's Office Security Service.

So what I'm saying now is "police" is something else. In other words:

"A police agency specializing in general criminal matters."

National general criminal police organisations, including Silesia, are the responsibility of the military. In the case of Silesia, the guards and the National Police everywhere are there.

But what Imperial Chancellor Sergei Romanov is trying to move forward with is probably trying to create a "normal police" in the past life world.

"We still don't know exactly what it will be like. Will it create a police ministry, or will it be a ministry under the direct authority of the Chancellery or the Emperor, what will be the scale...... Either way, we certainly need an addition to the continent's political history."

What would happen if this created a modern police mechanism? Though the establishment is likely to be a long way off, as military reform is still under way and there will be no budget.

"I see. Are you saying that extraordinary execution is in Sergei?"

"I guess so."

This is a level where I suspect Sergei is a reincarnator. I was on track to say I might be the only one reincarnated, but maybe I'm all over the continent.

"It was interesting information. Thank you."

"No, we haven't been able to return what we borrowed from Ostmarc yet."

Really, when can I give back my interest?

"Well, just one thing from me next. … but it may not have much to do with Silesia"

"What?

When I asked, Mr. Feene gave me a piece of paper. I don't know if I haven't figured out enough of the amount of information yet, or if it's at a stage where I'm not even on the table yet.

Indeed, at first glance, the information also appears irrelevant to Silesia. But not if you take it to the Eastern Continental Empire or Ostmarc. It's like being a spark of war.

"Trends in the Second Reich of Christ have become a little suspicious"

Mr. Fine said so with a slightly depressing look.
