Continental Hero Senki

For the political centre of the Second Reich of Christ, the Jingu, Crete Failure had to be described as an "unexpected event".

All the military operations of the Christian army around the Aegean were premised on the fact that the Aegean maritime control was entirely in the hands of the Christian Navy. Supplies and reinforcements, communications from the central government to the front line. Most of these functions were dependent on Crete.

That is crushed by the powerful naval force that Tyrrhenia has and the failure of the island of Crete forces a fundamental review of war policy.

22 September.

The pre-emergency meeting, which had been held many times since the Crete failure, was also held that day. The agenda is naturally the creation of a worsening war situation and future war policy in the Glycos region.

"It's harmony! There's only one other hand left to reconcile! If we reconcile now, the damage should still be small!

Conference splitting, it was the clerk in charge of diplomacy in the Second Reich of Christ who shouted so.

He argued that Christ was diplomatically extremely disadvantaged and that the Ostmark-Tyrrhenian Union stood in his favour. This one is lonely and the enemy forms an alliance. The difference in national power was historical.

It was the treasurer in charge of finance who was in tune with the words of the Registrar.

"I also endorse the words of the Registrar General. Since the Crete failure, trade for the Glycos region has almost ceased. Dissatisfaction from mainland traders is high, while tax revenues fall."

The treasurer was concerned about finances, economy and security within the Second Reich of Christ.

The prolongation of the war will result in a further drop in tax revenues and an increase in military spending. It was hard to hold back domestic grievances, and that was what was igniting the finances again.

But soon something emerges that denies these two words. It was a party, military chief.

"It may seem that way to both of you, military amateurs, but as far as I'm concerned, I consider harmony premature"

"... the Chief Military Officer seems to have a lot of confidence, but what the hell does that mean?

"As the Registrar said, we are at a disadvantage. But that's not decisive. We still have a chance to reverse it."

It also seems to me that his words were disputed by the emotional reason that he was ridiculed for his duties. But he had a say, too.

The saying is that of the man who has the best say in the occasion of this previous meeting, namely the Emperor Basileios IV.

Basileios IV is hostile to Tiberius, the political enemy. He has ordered himself to fail to reinforce or replenish himself to the front line. The military chief didn't have enough authority to rebel against it, and he had no choice but to follow it.

This situation could only be sarcastic if the eastern battlefield, up to the time of the Nanjo Crete failure, had been advanced in its favour by Tiberius' military genius.

"Consolidate the defense with mainland troops at the forefront and for now towards the dominant eastern battlefield. At this point, the retrieval of Acropolis is behind us."

"But, Chief Military Officer, it will give them the opportunity to possess substantial property."

"The danger is well known, but the aggregation of the front is essential. If so, you should focus on the eastern battlefield, where you can expect to replenish by road. The situation depends on the central battlefield, Salonica."

Stop harassing Tiberius. That alone can bring the situation back to five minutes. Yes, the military chief was thinking.

And to continue to retain the Eastern Wars, he had found his only chance of winning.

"As long as we retain the Straits of Miklagard, there will be scope for dispatching the Black Sea side fleet to the Aegean Sea. That way, we can try the fleet showdown again"

"But then the Black Sea will be neglected. Is there a threat from the Ostmarc Black Sea fleet or the Eastern Continental Empire Fortress Sebastopoli garrison fleet?

"I can't replace my belly on my back. Besides, the Eastern Continental Empire has issued a declaration of non-intervention, good or bad, against this war. You can ignore the threat of Sevastopoli at this time."

"Uhm...... but......"

To the words of the chief military officer, the chief treasurer cannot say back. They are amateurs in the military, and they are not allowed to speak of him in the military.

In contrast, the Registrar, who first insisted on harmony, argues that he is a loser.

"Chief Military Officer, the words may make sense. But I don't think Ostmarc is watching this in silence. If the Black Sea fleet moves, so should Nature Ostmarc."

"The Chief Clerk is right, too. There is no guarantee that we will win."

"So...!

"So what do we do? If we were to reconcile this, we would have a rather unfavourable treaty. The Clerk knows that best."

Few options can be taken for Christ, who is purely militarily disadvantaged. I lost, so let's reconcile, etc., and I can definitely see underfoot. Crete, Acropolis and the surrounding urban islands may be ceded. Doing so could explode domestic discontent at once and even lead to a civil war.

He was concerned about it.

"No, they may also have a hand in our participation in the new order that Ostmarc is trying to build in the eastern part of the continent. Then they might give in."

That is their conclusion, analysed from the actions of the Kingdom of Silesia in the Aeresund Treaty. Construction of a new order system led by Ostmark. He said the Seventh War was an outpost of institution-building for that new order.

The military chief also agreed with the secretary's presumption, but it was also his opinion that it was verbal preaching that would participate in the new order system on this occasion.

"... if they have made generous concessions, it is only afterwards that the problem arises. You might think about demanding His Majesty's Ball of Basileios and not having a new regime for the pro-Ostmarc faction."

He made an extremely dangerous statement at a meeting before the presence of Emperor Basileios IV. Even if it's a hypothetical story, telling the story in front of the emperor. Naturally, the Registrar screamed.

"Chief Military Officer! Any further remarks......!

"But it's a possible future. Wasn't that a meeting to prevent that?

……

The Clerk gets stuck in words.

But it doesn't mean the military chief was confident either. Once unfavourable, it is a fairly difficult business to overturn. That's just like the Eastern Continental Empire in the Spring War.

"... that's inconclusive"

Until then, the Chief Justice opened his mouth, in a position to do justice that had not spoken a word for long and had merely watched him succeed. He later noted that he intended to give neutral opinions after hearing the experts' opinions, but was not sure if that was true.

Rather, it was more opportunistic than neutral. The Chief Justice looks up to his seat.

"What do you think of the Grand Chancellor (Sadrazam)?

Number two in this country. Grand Chancellor Orhan Kulbangary, who had kept his mouth shut until then as did the Chief Justice, opened it.

"............ I agree with the Chief Military Officer. Our aim should be resistance to the new Ostmarc order. You can't give in to that."

In this language of Kurbangary, the conclusions of your previous meeting were fixed. He also understood that it was no longer a situation where the political opponents were saying.

The military chief, who, thanks to the Chief Justice, obtained the words of the Grand Chancellor, then asks the permission of Emperor Basileios IV.

"Your Majesty. Permission to reinforce His Highness Tiberius."

"... let's leave it to the handsome (sooner or later). Both the aggressors will have the hammer of justice."

"Thank you. Be sure to live up to Your Majesty's expectations"

Thus, the dispatch of reinforcements is determined by the life of the military chief. It was also decided additionally to promote Tiberius to Admiral. The second-class special is what is sent to the dead, but it meant an exception during the exception.

But this decision was too late.

Behind that meeting in front of you on 22 September, Tiberius was swallowed by his men's enthusiasm and expressed his rebellious will against the Second Reich.
