Continental Hero Senki
Stand up, sit down.
How can something like this, peace, not last long? I'm not convinced that a rematch in two years and a little bit.
But I am a defensive soldier. All I can say is that war is what times make it, so let's just fight for decades of peace at best.
Continental Calendar August 1, 639.
The gathering of information and meetings on various measures, large and small, are gradually integrated throughout the night, and meetings are now held in the presence of the namesake officers at the General Operations Headquarters of the Royal Silesian Army.
This is its first time.
It is General Herman Yogihs, Commander of Army II of the Royal Silesian Army, who will take the presidency of the conference.
"According to the information, the Eastern Continental Imperial Army has already begun to mobilize and its size is presumed to be the same 40 divisions as the last Spring War. For more information - Colonel Waresa, Deputy Chief of Staff, has an explanation. Colonel, please."
"Ha."
Sometimes in times of crisis, my identity becomes the deputy chief of staff commonly known as the "Yogihes Army". The chief of staff of the Yogihs army is Major General Tarnovsky, so we say under one of his.
"According to intelligence sources who are currently infiltrating the Empire..."
Below are the details of the Imperial Army.
The size is 40 divisions. The combined total number of rear forces mobilized is about 600,000.
These units are divided into four divisions of 10, each of which is called Army I, Army II, Army III and Army IV.
General Commander of the Silesian Expeditionary Army and Commander-in-Chief of Army I: Marshal Sergei Romanov, Emperor
Deputy Commander of the Silesian Expeditionary Army and Commander-in-Chief of Army II: Senior General Dennis Schrematev
Commander-in-Chief of Army III: Admiral Andrey Korolyov
IV Commander-in-Chief of the Army: General Vladimir Sirokov
Commander-in-Chief of the Army Station: Lt. Gen. Wadim Kutuzov
"... will the emperor himself still march out"
Someone squeaks.
There was no surprise in the words, as this information came through at a time when the Eastern Continental Empire was instigating an invasion of Silesia.
"Yes, it's information from trusted sources, so there's no doubt about it first. We are making a statement that we will go to the battlefield and take command, both nationally and internationally."
"I see. That's a good opportunity,"
And a voice similar to joy. Along with that, a number of brave voices rose.
"The new system of the empire is largely due to the hands of his emperor Sergei. If we lose him, the Empire is nowhere near the Silesian conquest. On the contrary, he has no children to succeed. We should take it away at all costs."
"That's right. That way we can also defeat Carlsbert, Ostmarc followed by the allies of the anti-Silesian alliance called the Eastern Continental Empire. Suitable for national defense philosophy"
"The gathering of information is at any rate in determining the emperor's position!
"That's right!
"Winning is for us!
The winning opportunity is an on-parade of overconfidence that we don't think the guy who screams is sane.
I also have plenty of say in this meeting, so let me just say one thing or two.
"With all due respect, may I state my personal opinion of the dwarf"
"I don't mind. Your words are worthy."
"Thank you, Lord Yogihes"
Needless to say, it's personal.
The fact that the emperor Sergei Romanov goes out on his own is in itself a positive thing to say.
"... Yang Dynamic?
"Yes, his emperor is certainly an 'emperor' and not a military man. But the Emperor Sergei has served in the Imperial Army and has also confirmed that he is actually on the battlefield."
According to the information, he is heading out to various battlefields.
It's also on official records, and intelligence sources are coming in. He also raises the medal.
Would he travel to and from the battlefield without thinking about it? No, I don't.
"But we really don't know if that's his exact medal. Sure, I give you the medal, but the royal nobility can be his own battle by sidestepping his men's medals."
"That's right. At the time of the Spring War, he was said to have been Major General of the Imperial Army, but it is normal to think of it as a treatment of the late royal family. Besides, most of the time when I say royal general, I have a problem with my abilities."
And at the time someone tried to argue with me, I got caught up and said back to the eating mood.
"Would you say the same thing to His Highness Emilia?
"... well, that's..."
His Royal Highness Emilia's military talent is known to everyone as an officer of the Royal Silesian Army. Even in the Spring War, he served in his capacity as High Counsellor of the General Operations Headquarters, and continued to demonstrate that talent without worrying about the outward hearings, such as it was an act of transcendence or the royal family's own, which led Silesia to victory.
The officers and sarges who have shown it all in front of them will also be here.
Damn, what ungrateful people......
"Colonel Waresa. Get him around there. I'm scared of your face."
And His Excellency Yogihes told me to be quiet.
I could certainly have lost my chill. You're not even like me.
"... excuse me"
"What. I don't mind. But, well, I know exactly what Colonel Waresa wants to say and what they say. So in this case, you should forget that Sergei Romanov is the emperor. Let's work out the operation on that premise. Is that okay?
"There is no difference"
"Great. So, Colonel, go on."
"Ha."
Is it still a child around being flushed by emotions like this? Although the physical age is certainly only an 18-year-old child.
But if you include the contents, you should be 18 and 243 months old...... that one? Maybe I'm not growing up?
"Colonel?"
"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Continue."
Let's just say I turn away from the fact that my mental age is 48.
Subsequently, the details of the Imperial Army will be listed below with intelligence and public information.
Says he's got new tactics for the Imperial Army.
Says the Imperial Army has a division made up of only cavalry.
Says the Imperial Army's network of barracks has been enhanced to such an extent that it was not compared to the last time.
Other tactics of character and preference of each class of officers and, at the end of the day, family circumstances were also presented as much as possible.
"... awesome information-gathering ability, but what the hell does that have to do with the battlefield?
"Maybe there is"
No, say it yourself. What is it, but I don't think there's probably a family situation. The number of mistresses of the Commander of the Third Army, General Kololiov, is double-digit.
And the key is an overview of enemy invasion operations.
There could be no military aircraft on the boulder about this and it could not be released, and intelligence agents could not grasp that information either.
However, in the unarmed buffer zone set by the Ayrsund Convention, it was easy to grasp the point where supplies were being collected that appeared to be intended for invasion.
From there, the enemy maneuvers...
"The enemy's main offense is probably the north. Lake Atheni Water Region."
"... what? Isn't that the south? I thought you were going to attack Krakow..."
The voice of surprise rises again.
Yes, it is. Exactly. I was surprised by this, too.
Given that it was the Duke of Krakowski who had exiled to the Empire, and that Krakowski was the largest economic city in Silesia, it would be Theory who would attack Krakowski first.
But the emperor Sergei, or the empire's operative planner, seems to be a twist. Hard to attack and easy to defend terrain, the Imperial Army once suffered a huge defeat in the Spring War, because it is attacking the Atheni Lakes region.
"Last snowflake fight, does that mean?
"If the emperor were to prioritize emotions, he would be. But if you take him as a normal commander, don't suffer from this a little understanding"
"Then again, he..."
Oh, no. There's talk going in the wrong direction.
I don't know if I can do it. Because if the emperor comes forward and discusses it, it will be like decades of Silesian peace promised.
But don't be alarmed. I don't know what kind of trap there is.
And there's one thing that matters.
"- We don't have the power to fight. The Honourable Prime Minister Emilia Silesia is currently considering issuing a general mobilisation order, but there are still about 10 divisions of combat power that can be prepared by the start of the war. Besides, they're less skilled, and 40 divisions won't be able to sustain their onslaught."
Even if we rely on the topographical effects of the Lake Atheni region, the equilibrium is at best.
The Imperial Army will prevail over the total power when it comes to it. Excellent recovery from depletion, sending in one battle after another.
"Then the only way to do it is to destroy the enemy's main forces and command and control in the short term, or to drag them into a long war of attrition and force them to retreat."
"When it comes to short-term showdown, is it still the crusade of Emperor Sergei"
"Oh, and when it comes to the war of attrition..."
And so I shut up.
Needless to say, That's a "scorched-earth tactic". No one wants to burn their own territory for war.
Short-term showdown or long-duration battle?
One in two. Easy to understand.
You wouldn't want massive individual destruction that relied on proficiency, manoeuvre and topographical effects like the Spring War. Compared to that time, the quality of the Imperial Army has improved, and the Royal Army has fallen in both quality and quantity.
"... aside from the specific methodology, it would seem better to set the direction and then think about the operation"
and His Excellency Yogihes.
The words are accompanied by an endorsement.
"Then I will adopt the resolution. Stand up if you insist on a short-term showdown. Anyone claiming a long war of attrition, stay seated."
A majority was adopted in the proceedings of His Excellency Yogihs as it stood. The result is -,
---
15: 40 after the operational meeting.
Chancellery of the Kingdom, reception room.
"So, which one did you become?
I shared the results of today's meeting with His Royal Highness Emilia, who finished a paragraph of work, for a cup of coffee.
"- Short-term showdown, which means defeating Emperor Sergei on the battlefield to ensure defensive security."
"... Well, that would be reasonable"
To my words, His Highness nodded and dropped his gaze on the coffee cup.
"With the civil war just over and scratches on national soil, few will want to move on and take scorched-earth tactics. If I'd been in that seat without knowing anything, I'd probably have stood up."
His Highness said that, while he looked somewhere sad, like he'd given up. What that face means is maybe just like me.
"But if we succeed, decades of peace will come. The anti-Silesian alliance will virtually be the only one in Livonia, and later its peaceful duration will be extended if we do not even fail to make diplomatic efforts"
And, yes, though His Highness said, I still don't have feelings for some reason.
The reason for this was found in the question immediately after.
"So, which did Mr. Yuzef choose?
"... I sat down."
Shoulder to shoulder. Saying so, His Highness laughed slightly.
"So you agreed to burn your own country."
I said.
Please don't say it in a malicious way. Exactly.
Her Royal Highness Emilia has kept her eyes open for explanations, so she wetted her mouth with coffee to explain. Even so, there's no reason to be rational over here either.
"I didn't seem to see Sergei as just an emperor general, like the generals who stood up on that occasion."
Did "visible" mean when Castelletto?
"Yes."
I have seen Sergei Romanov several times up close at Fort Castelletto.
Particularly impressive would be when I proposed to His Highness.
When I told him that, His Highness nodded as well.
"I agree. I've seen more of him than Mr. Yusef, but he got the impression that he was a genius with both political skills."
That he also identified in an instant the intention to set up an unarmed buffer zone.
Excellent proposal with many political, diplomatic and military advantages, His Highness overestimated me, but equally to Sergei, who understood it in an instant.
"Besides, I fought him straight away in the Spring War. So, I get it. He must be the only one."
"... do you understand?
"Yep. It's a woman, though."
Something about His Highness Emilia being like Sarah......
"So, if you decided to call it a short-term showdown, did you also get a concrete draft of the operation?
"Yes, I'll be here"
That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you the material in the bag.
As I hand over the materials, I will tell Her Highness Emilia what I came here for.
"This is the outline of the operation, but we don't have enough absolute combat power. As a military ministry, in order to further strengthen its power, His Excellency the Chancellor-"
"General mobilization decree, right"
"My Lord Left."
General mobilisation decree.
Old and young, reserves and recruits, all men, go to the battlefield. That's the order.
"... I don't really feel like it, but I can't help it"
That being said, His Highness signed the executive letter of the general mobilisation order that had already been prepared on the desk. All you have to do is give it to the clerk in charge, and the order will be executed.
"Now our country has moved into a wartime system. From today on, it's war."
"Given the time of war, did you just say Shizuku Autumn War"
"If we had the right to be named, we'd talk about it."
The mouth of His Highness who said so did not sound very joking.
It's as if, at this point, you were already aware of the loss.
