Continental Hero Senki

The information-sharing was over, and it was dusk when I left the Chancellery.

It seems that His Highness Emilia and Mr. Maya still have a job as Prime Minister, even at such times.

"You're the busiest princess in the world, that one"

And, Mr. Feene.

She is right, His Highness the Princess, but not younger than me, and His Highness Emilia is a worker. The word "livestock" suits me well.

If you work that far, one day you might fall overworked. Though I think it's okay because Maya is here.

"Then why don't you help me, Colonel?

"As you know, Mr. Feene, I'm not very good at clerical work."

I guess I wish this was around Radek.

"Colonel Yusef is still no good, is he? I don't know how you could have come out like that."

"Maybe if it weren't for Silesia, the captain would have been the limit."

That is why there is a serious shortage of personnel in the Royal Silesian Army.

Many of the officers recruited on an ad hoc basis during the civil war said they had joined the army as it stood. There is no way that the Argument Awards are not enormous, such as the administrative handling of a temporarily formed army in the midst of muddling.

So we have to do something about it, but we have time on an annual basis to restore depleting human resources. If it had been so easy to solve, I wouldn't have done this right now.

With that in mind, me and Mr. Feene walk alone through the already sunset, sparsely popular and quiet King's Capital.

It may be a date from the side, but I'm not even saying it's such a romantic walk.

There are still claw marks from the Civil War. It seems that there was some fighting when we rescued His Highness Emilia, and there are still traces of it. Like repairing it, I can't afford the money or supplies to just do it.

"... what is Grand Duke Carroll trying to do"

Mr. Fine snapped a potpourri about him, who had created a direct cause that had led to that tragedy in the Wang capital.

I don't know what happened and I decided to take a different path with the king. I don't even know why you tried to assassinate His Highness Emilia. And I don't even know how, I've betrayed my country.

But the information that they are now in the Eastern Continental Empire is based on information from Mr. Maya's brother.

Then I can answer Mr. Fine's question, "What are you trying to do?"

"I suppose Grand Duke Carroll intends to destroy this country, with the authority of the Eastern Continental Empire, Silesia. Probably during the year."

"And into the refuge of the Eastern Continental Empire, is it? But there's got to be another way if we're just going to go into asylum."

Seems like Mr. Fine, who works for the Ministry of Information, has a question.

Sure, there are many ways. Let His Highness Emilia daughter-in-law Sergei Romanov and rest with the co-rulers, and give their children the seat of Emperor of the Eastern Continental Empire and King of the Kingdom of Silesia. In the same way as your coalition, Blah, blah, blah, blah. Ostmarc is trying to put Silesia under control in a similar way.

Or there is a long-term way to make an economic invasion and shake the foundations, pressuring them into annexation from the point of view of what they said was public opinion and income.

But annexation by war is one hand. This is the quickest and easiest considering my differences in national power.

"So what did Grand Duke Carroll and the others do to his land?

"I'm guessing this too, is it to make a big name for it?"

"... I'm surprised what a great name makes."

No, it's nothing strange.

For example, "The Empire will arrange for the nomination of a national criminal who has fled to Silesia. I asked the Silesian government to hand it over, but it's a strain with 'no such person'. However, the Silesian government has not presented evidence of a national offender who is not inside Silesia. That means the Silesian government must be conspiring with someone who is a national criminal. This amounts to a war similarity, so my country declares war on your country".

It's not funny because there are quite a few countries that use such unscrupulous, but similar methods.

"In this case... you can probably say 'Princess Emilia expelled Karol Silesia, who became king by legitimate means, by force' and Grand Duke Karol will also ask the Eastern Continental Empire 'to cooperate in the recovery of the loss of land because he is a legitimate king'"

"If the king himself pleads with the emperor and invites the army in, it's not 'invasion' anymore, is it?"

"That's what happens for name purposes."

And then if the Imperial Army of the Eastern Continent sits in Silesia and places it under occupation, it will lead to the annexation of the name Protectorate. It is up to Sergei whether that governance will be harsh or moderate......

"What do you think will happen?

"... As far as Sergei's achievements so far are concerned, we might be able to achieve stable governance if we take off some period of confusion shortly after the merger"

Anyway, he is an emperor who lost the authority of the Protestant aristocracy in the corrupt Eastern Empire and carried out great reforms to rejuvenate the empire. The fairness of governance within the Empire is obtained by information from intelligence agents who are letting him sneak into his country. Besides, Carlsbert, during the Civil War, you seem to be ruling out hard-thinking nationalists.

The emperor's world strategy for that country, what the hell is going on?

"But in the Eastern Empire, even fairness can be harsh against Silesia"

"It must be. That's why we have to fight."

That is to say that we must fight not only in terms of military, but also in terms of politics and diplomacy.

The Ostmarc Empire cannot intervene in domestic matters.

The Second Reich of Christ is on the way to rebuilding after losing the Glycos region. I don't have time for this with the Eastern Empire.

The Carlsbert Vintage Kingdom has just ended its civil war, too, and its national power is no different from that of the Kingdom of Silesia.

When that happens, the rest is the Union of Livonia Nobles......

"Mr. Fine. Surely one of the leading Dukes of the Union of Livonia Nobles, the Dukes of Hermesberger, is beside the House of Emperors of the Ostmarc Empire, isn't it?

"Yes. Historically, the Emperor Ostmarc is the sideline of the Duke of Hermesberger, if you want to express it accurately."

"Both are fine. I don't know how far you can go, but will you work for me?

"... there and there, still trying to stick to the anti-Silesian alliance. It will be difficult, but will it benefit them in any way?

"It prevents the expansion of the Eastern Continental Empire. The circumstances should be the same as Ostmarc's."

Indeed, the Union of Livonia Nobles is, at the moment, an enemy.

But Silesia is not strong enough to remain independent, sandwiched by enemies from east to west.

"... ok. To your father...... no, I will suggest to your grandfather. But don't expect too much."

"I know."

"I will now report via the embassy tomorrow. - But before you do, Colonel, can I have one?

When Mr. Feene said that, she tangled her left hand in my right hand with a little blush on her cheek. Mr. Feene's slightly modest chest hits his arm. Instead, I'm guessing.

"This world is an equivalence exchange, right?

"... well, that's right"

When I answered that, Mr. Fine made sure there was no one around him, and then he lay his lips down gently.

... Apparently, this is going to be an exciting year.
