October 5.

"... is that Tiberius Anatolicon?"

"Yes."

After a battle that ended with reinforcements and collapse, while interrogating surrendered Christ soldiers, we found the person we were looking for.

When you look at that person, Tiberius, with monoculars, it does have a royal aristocratic style.

When asked which is more handsome than Major General Matheus, Tiberius has his share. The contents.

I'm with Major General Matheus right now in the middle of cleaning and supplying the battlefield.

"I didn't think it would be easy to find who I was looking for."

"I didn't know a kid like you wanted him. Is that it, or are you interested in men too?

"No way."

I'm not a faggot. I'm not a faggot by no means. It's important. I'll tell you as many times as I can.

Aside from that, the discovery that we were looking for was a "rather authoritative person who was opposed to the central government of Christ" is a survival.

"What does he or one of their men say?

"Tiberius' men and I left the central army of Christ," he says.

"Well, I don't know..."

It's reckless. I didn't want to stand up to Christ's own country with just over 10,000 troops.

... Well, it's easy to make it a stepping stone for the end of the war.

"They had apparently received an indirect death sentence from the Jigumiya (Hagia Sofia). So I was skipped to the front line without even being worthy of my identity. Troublesome people and troops have joined together, and they seem to have set up a grid."

"But you think Tiberius' extraction didn't make that happen, and even rebelled?

"That's what I'm talking about"

I see. Apparently, the folks at Jigumiya are assholes.

Don't try to force me to kill you, just put me under house arrest in the suburbs or on a remote island.

"Fucking kid, by the way"

"Don't tell me you're a fucking kid, you pervert"

"Stop calling me a pervert.... What are they going to do?

"Right. We will establish a pro-Ostmarc imperial government in the Glicos region to make it independent."

The Kingdom of Glycos by name.

The aim is the completion of Ostmark's puppet state, the buffer state.

The ethnic group living in the Glicos region is 100% Glicos. And there are few Glicos in Ostmarc's own country. The degree of aggregate error, even if it is.

To the multi-ethnic state Ostmarc, adding more ethnic groups only causes political confusion. In particular, the Livonians sitting in the privileged class will be unable to contain the insurgency.

Then let it be independent.

Friendlier neighbor than a disturbing residence.

You can make the nominal Head of State the Emperor of the Ostmarc Empire. In that case, is it the Grand Duchy of Glycos or something?

But as it stands, it's up to them.

"Huh? Why?

The rebels, who took Tiberius as their master and rebelled from the Second Reich of Christ, wager Glycos regional independence against the Second Reich. Isn't that a good scenario? For ourselves and for us.

"Right. First and foremost, Tiberius himself says, 'I am not disobeying'. Well, I can guess this is what I think of my men. The second problem is that there are many people in his ranks who say, 'If you live and expose humiliation, die of honor', etc."

He said he was headed by an old man named El Terme.

Somehow it seems to fit too badly into the form of military personnel.

"Convince me well there, my lord."

"... you are the one who tells me"

A few days later, reports were brought to the unit that Salonica had fallen by the Imperial Army Task Force.

This suppressed the southern and central Glycos region. The eastern battlefield, which did not have Tiberius troops who were protecting Hulmanli, seems to have moved forward a long time and has succeeded in pushing it back as far as Hadrianopolis on the border.

"Reports show a marked decline in morale even in the Eastern Wars on the occasion of the Salonica failure"

"If so, is it the independence of the Glycos region?"

Tiberius Anatolicon seems troubled.

If I refuse, my men choose death. But I don't like being king and subordinating myself to Ostmarc, which was an enemy country.

He is an excellent Tiberius as a general, but is it possible that he is someone who is flushed by emotions and mistakes political decisions? Is that why you lost the political battle?

"If that means it's easy to talk, Major"

And, Mr. Feene.

You look like an intelligence officer. Are you out of your mind?

"What are you talking about, Major? Major Yuzef always looks worse, doesn't he?

"What, so much?

"Yes."

It's a lie. Maybe Mr. Feene's bad joke...,

"You sure beat Yuzef."

"You even say that to Sarah..."

When Sarah, the honest one, tells me that, it kind of recesses.

Maybe I should study poker face a little more.

"... ha"

And for some reason, a short distance away, Chief Zeman was sighing, apparently, listening to our conversation.

"What is it, Mr. Zeman?"

"No, I thought it would be quicker to ask His Excellency Matheus..."

What, what happened?
