Continental Hero Senki

March 20.

Although it is good to have won the battle on the Vistula River by driving away the enemy fleet that comes back, the situation itself is unfavourable on this side.

Our Princess's army is at a disadvantage in numbers if it is a long-term battle. Why do we have to fight in such a small number, I don't have to wonder if it would be easier to exile to Ostmarc, but we will betray His Highness Emilia, so let's do our best now.

Besides... things are going to change a little thanks to Your Highness.

"... what is this?

"As you can see, my lord Rosenstock"

The problem lies in not obtaining permission from the substantial commander, General Rosenstock.

That is to say that the troops commanded by Major General Bernatsky, who was supposed to be defending the territorial capital Orshtin, will arrive in Torn tomorrow after the forcible forces.

In addition, temporary units were formed in and around Torn that gathered veterans, volunteers, etc.

Together they are 1 division. Less skilled, but can do enough to stand and cage like a turtle in a defensive position.

And by that increased princess army, I have drawn up an operation that I am now appealing to His Excellency Rosenstock.

Because Your Highness told me "I don't like Mr. Yusef being drawn to the enemy" or it became an operation a little too bold.

"You're young. How dare you think about such a bold operation and try to execute it even more"

"Thank you for the compliment"

Because I don't want His Highness Emilia to hate me.

"But - that's why I have to be cautious"

With that said, Your Excellency throws a pong and a plan of operations on the executive desk. It's not handy at all.

Wouldn't that just work? It's not like I don't have a hand in telling His Highness Emilia to gobble, but if I don't confirm everyone's will when it comes to the execution of the operation, I move badly when I say I have to.

I have to convince you.

"My lord, this is a measure to win. It's not an operation to pull into a shell like a turtle and hope that one day spring will come to us"

"... don't you say"

My words are almost like accusations from my superiors.

What you're doing is a fight not to lose, a defeatist, and you're losing the pattern of victory. It's so awesome! Like I'm saying, like that.

"But Lieutenant Colonel Waresa. This draft op you created is too bold - no, it's something to conceive of danger. Do you understand that?

"Regardless, I understand. But, my lord, victory is always dangerous, and victory without danger is unlikely."

Tactics are basically low returns for low risk and high returns for high risk. If your own army prevails, you can win one day if you crush one enemy at a time with steady hands without hitting a high-risk hand.

... but as it stands, it is the Grand Duchy Marshal Lax who is using that hand.

"Marshal Lax, the Grand Duchy Army, is a good general everyone acknowledges. I don't even think a legitimate tactic would go through with such an opponent."

I don't think General Rosenstock is incompetent. Rather, like the other commanders of the Royal Silesian Army, he is competent and trustworthy.

But Marshal Lax's abilities are probably more than General Rosenstock's.

First, he attacks Torn with a large army to take advantage of his power to fight. Urban assaults after victories in the field, once seen as unfavourable, are withdrawn immediately to prepare for a long battle.

And even now, Marshal Lax is in Torn. It has already been a few days since this situation, but there is no indication that the morale of the enemy has waned.

"In order to destroy his army, we should act boldly, aware of the danger"

"But Marshal Lax is a prudent man. I don't think it's in the hands of such child deception."

Kid trick, huh?

Well, an ambush or something like that would be a child trick from the side.

"No matter, I'll manipulate the information to avoid finding out."

Of course, the manoeuvres at the start of the operation will spread rumors, disguise the escaped citizens as spies into enemies and leak lies, or maneuver to make this one appear excessive. I don't really want to do this, but I want the citizens of Torn mobilized.

"I hope you're bold, but if you make a mistake, it could be an advantage for the enemy."

"I know....... but Marshal Lax is also being evaluated as' prudent 'and in some ways bolder than us. It's bold and invincible."

"...?

Easy.

Marshal Lax hasn't done anything to leave it to a number of violence. Marshal Lax wants to bring it into a short-term battle to see what he's done in the last few days, even though it's probably partly because he's been attacking Torn at political request.

Trying to cut off this supply line with detour activation by the cavalry, trying to break into the fleet and provoke chaos in the Princess Army.

Those were blessed and eliminated with the good fortune of a military god like Sarah, but if they did the same thing again... they probably wouldn't be able to prevent it. Oh, my God.

The Grand Duchy army commanded by Marshal Lax, who was supposed to be cautious, did it. Cautious, but bold at times. As a commander, he is better than any other.

"We should also apprentice him and act boldly"

Of course, we're under a war disadvantage. Failure is not tolerated. In order not to fail, caution is required among bold actions.

"What's more - we'll never win if we keep standing and caged. Time is on the enemy's side, and so is the international community."

…………

His Excellency Rosenstock's brow rose slightly.

I'm the ex-Syresian martial officer of the Ostmarc Empire Embassy. I know more about diplomacy than His Excellency Rosenstock in a way.

The Grand Duchy is a pro-East Continental Imperialist.

At the moment the Eastern Continental Empire is watching things still, but we do not know when it will be an "intervention".

Even without it, the Grand Duke beats the Princess in terms of national power and population.

If the civil war prolonged, that's what you could say, like the United States of America these days: "We had talented people and soldier morale, but it was a long war and we ended up getting bogged down by the difference in national power".

"Even in the sense of ending the civil war in the short term, this operation makes sense. And Marshal Lax will have a better chance of success if this one uses' prudence 'to the contrary."

Besides, if you don't win here anyway, you lose.

Then there is no big difference if the operation fails and you lose the civil war. It would not be so important to know whether the death sentence is to be pronounced in a month or a year.

"... man. If you were a young officer with no track record, how good would you have been?"

Having heard my series of persuasions, His Excellency Rosenstock sighed loudly with those words.

Says he says there's so much to see in the plan of operations that he can't say amateur bullshit and chase it back.

"Great. I'll suggest this at today's operational meeting. Naturally, you, the creator, get out too. All right?"

"Ha."

And on this day, both armies never went on offense, and the sixth day ended only with some skirmishes.
