Continental Hero Senki

28 February 639 Continental Calendar.

Silonsk, King's capital of Silesia, in the reception room of the Chancellery.

"When are you saying that will be!

One man was yelling at Grand Duke Carol Silesia, Prime Minister of the Kingdom.

"As I have said many times here, we cannot yet take military action in the cold. At least it's time for the snow to break..."

"I'm tired of hearing that word! It's already been 3 months since Torn was occupied!

It was the Count of the Grand Duchy nobility who put in the complaint and the complaint to Grand Duke Carol. He is a middle-aged nobleman with territory in eastern Silesia. As for talent and personality...... well, it's "there" if you evaluate it favorably.

There is only one reason why such a Count visited under the Grand Duke. It is a matter of Torn falling into the hands of the princess before winter came. Torn is nothing, it is not the territory of the Count. So it doesn't look like there's any reason to be so desperate and scream. But why is the Count in question?

"River traffic on the Vistula River is stopped thanks to Torn's fall to the princess! There's no way to transport the crafts and raw materials in our territory that were being wholesaled to Wang Du or Gdansk ports!

"I intend to understand the situation in the Count's territory. But..."

"But nothing! If this situation continues, our territory's economy will collapse!

- And that is.

Instead of the weak productivity of agricultural products, the Count's territory was made up of goods by the production of crafts, industrial raw materials, horses used for cavalry and carriage. But most of the river traffic on the Vistula River, which was transporting them, had stopped since it was delayed by the princess offensive the previous year.

Regardless, there is a hand in ground transportation. However, ground transportation is less efficient and costs jump compared to river transport. It is also an unscrupulous story such as the Wang capital, which is a large consumer place, and the land transportation to Gdansk, which is a trading hub with foreign countries.

"If things don't improve in the near future, our relationship with the Grand Duke will have to be reviewed!

"Count, does that mean rebellion? Are you going to turn that blade on me?

"If the situation improves, we will spare no financial or material assistance, as we have done so far"

And under this civil war, which must have the support of the nobility, we want to avoid one noble rebellion at all costs. Because the disengagement could accelerate, like hitting an avalanche.

"Okay. Talk to the military and I think I'll be out shortly with instructions to recapture Torn. Not immediately, but by April the Count's territory will return to its previous state"

Politics stands above the military.

I also understand that, Grand Duke Carol.

"I appreciate that. If we have the supplies and personnel we need for the recapture operation, we can move on and provide our territory."

"Helpful"

That's why I have my head at the end of this barren civil war.

March 5.

at the headquarters established at the Duke's residence in Olstein, the territorial capital of the Duke of Rosenstock.

"A sign of an offense? It's still winter, though?

That's what I told Lieutenant General Yogihez, my immediate supervisor, the commander of the Front Line Command, and he gave me that answer.

"It's information from definite muscles. I was wondering if it was credible."

"Where's the information coming from? An example, your friend's chamber of commerce?

I don't know which one Lieutenant General Yogijes will give you when he speaks of the Chamber of Commerce of his friends. But in this case, both are incorrect.

"No, it's from the embassy in Kunikoku."

"... I see. The other day."

"Yes."

In other words, it's information from a martial officer stationed at the Second Reich Embassy in the Kingdom of Christ. Thankful information support from His Majesty Melina Anatolicon.

The support of the Second Reich of Christ is quite genuine: assistance and lending of funds through private chambers of commerce, intelligence support through the use of embassies and consulates, and doing as much external work as possible to prevent countries from intervening in the civil war in Silesia.

Can it really be possible to ask Princess Emilia to "mediate with the Ostmarc Empire" after so much? I'm sure you would say to keep on Christ's side with regard to the issue of the Glycos region, but we can only rely on Christ because Ostmarc is currently useless.

Well, the stomach worries of future foreign affairs letters later on, he said.

"The motive is probably because we're strangling ourselves with a quote with a knife stuck to the neck of the Grand Duke. There seems to be resentment and suspicion in some territories"

"Well, it's someone's fault."

Whose fault is it? I don't know if I have a pure heart.

"What's the scale?

"Unknown. But the enemy will want to take it back at all costs, so I think it's going to be pretty massive."

"It's hard to think of doing everything in your power to attack... but you have to be prepared for a 5-6 division offense"

"The fact that the enemy is attacking Torn is almost definitive given the circumstances of the barracks. This one can defend itself at all costs."

"But you can't leave your territorial capital empty. I want at least one division, two divisions if I can afford them."

"If you do, do you have three or four battles that you can use to defend Torn?"

"A war disadvantage is like being fated. It's not human versatile enough to make it worse now."

Best of all.

I want to have a war from start to finish with a war advantage.

"But the training of soldiers is almost over during the winter months. We have a minimum of personnel."

"All you have to do is plan a useful defense."

"We shall also meet with His Excellency Rosenstock to come up with a plan as soon as possible. We need to take early action for the unknown timing of the enemy attack. Like you're in an ops planning meeting."

Copy that, sir.

The winter in Silesia is almost over.

And that means nothing more than a new season of battle begins.
