Continental Hero Senki
January coup
Ostmarc Empire.
It is the fourth "empire" alongside the Eastern Empire, the Western Empire and the Second Empire of Christ, and is a powerful nation of the Eastern continent, also referred to as the "Second Western Empire".
The policy of the rich forces by Yuri the Great has also been passed down to future generations of emperors, who have since moved the history of conflicts with neighbouring countries, the independence of the Republic of Karlsbert and other continental eastern regions such as the anti-Silesian alliance.
And in recent years, we have established friendship with the Kingdom of Silesia, which halves the anti-Silesian alliance. That could also be called the first stage in the scenario of the construction of a new continental new order by the Ostmarc Empire….

Some day of January 640 of the Continental calendar.
Ostmarc Imperial Capital Esterburg Administrative District
Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Marquis Leopold Joachim von Coudenhoff, and the Count Clerk Claudia von Linz, who made him his granddaughter and secretary to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, were as committed to their duties as usual.
"The Kingdom of Silesia is rich in defeat. As it is, the whole of Silesia will be swallowed up by that young emperor, but how long is your grandfather going to be trying to turn his finger around?
"... I don't have a choice. Things have timing."
"I think you missed the perfect time, though?
…………
conversation as if the main obedience had been reversed.
In fact, there was no expectation that the Eastern Continental Empire would make fast advances so far. The two were astonished at the hands of the Emperor, who did not loosen the offense even in the winter and only allowed the Kingdom of Silesia - yes, that Princess Emilia and the Kingdom of Silesia with her sister's fiancé (candidate), Yuzef Waresa - to "buy time".
Therefore, it can be said that the Ostmarc Empire at this time, from the side, was rarely around the back.
However, there are circumstances in which we were unable to take the lead.
"If any of the information received from the Ministry of Intelligence says' fear of local rebellion ant ', no one thinks about moving the army, etc."
"Yes, but..."
It is Count Roman von Linz, stepson of the Marquis of Coudenhoff and father of Claudia, who leads the newly established "Ministry of Information", integrating the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior and other intelligence organizations.
He is a person who is well aware of the collection of information and the use of information, and his reputation from those who know him well is high.
There was no such thing as questioning the information he had come to me.
... just one person, with exceptions.
"But Sister Claudia. There's something strange about that information."
Nor did Knock enter the office, and it was Claudia's sister, Fine von Linz, who said so to her sister.
"You're starting to suspect your father, Fine."
"... not like that"
With that said, she submits the paperwork under her grandfather with a harsh look.
Although it is not uncommon for Fine, who works for the Ministry of Information, to contact the Minister of Information and the Minister of Foreign Affairs in this way under his grandfather, this was not the case in this case.
That the documents given are not "unofficial information".
Usually, you don't have to ask Fine for official information. You can use the right liaison person, and in fact, we've been exchanging that up until now.
If you put out to use "someone who can place absolute trust" like Fine, the value of the information she has will inevitably be high and "subtle" information that should not be made public.
But what Fine gave us this time was official information.
"It is true that intelligence was provided by the Ministry of Information to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prior to the war between Silesia and the Eastern Continental Empire. But the possibility that its contents were untrue surfaced by an internal investigation."
"You said it was a false alarm?
"… no, it means that I received information manipulation"
Documents of official information brought by Fine.
The name of the author of that document is Kurt Versbach, Director of the Ministry of Information, Part IV.
He is the figure after the reincarnation of Lt. Gen. Herbert Rebar, former Commander of Defence of the Capital of the Republic of Karlsbert, a gift sent by Yuzef to Uncle Linz.
Versbach was a Karlsbert nationalist, but also a creepy, swearing allegiance to the Ostmark Empire, and a master of intelligence work.
"When it comes to the information he wrote... you can trust this. unwillingly."
"That Osama is superb when it comes to things like this..."
The contents of the documents are clear.
Because the title is "Results of espionage measures within the Ministry of Information, Continental Calendar 639, Issue IV Activity Report".
As mentioned earlier, the Ministry of Information was able to integrate a number of information organizations. Therefore, a sense of belonging to the original organization remained, and factional and force strife persisted as a result.
Versbach and the Minister of Information, Uncle Linz, regularly work to ensure that "foreign ministry factions" become mainstream within the Ministry of Information through personnel transfers, placement changes, or informal "executions".
And the espionage activities carried out by Versbach last month are part of that.
Results of an extremely pale written espionage effort. It's so pale that you don't realize the seriousness of things.
"By means of espionage, the 'possibility of local insurgency' I mentioned earlier was utterly demeaning. When I followed the source, the primary source was a former member of the High Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior."
"A coup by the Ministry of the Interior faction, you mean"
The High Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior is a secret police force that existed in the Ostmarc Empire and has a history of being dismantled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the number of Uncle Linz manoeuvres.
For this reason, the dispute between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs faction and the Ministry of the Interior faction within the Ministry of Intelligence was serious enough to allow the aforementioned espionage activities to be carried out on a regular basis.
That's why such an achievement is a daily tea meal, and that's probably why Versbach spelled it pale. unaware of the danger there is.
"But why would you do that? Those guys, what's in it for you like this?
"… Sister, if you look only at the facts, it means that the work of their Ministry of the Interior faction 'delayed the decisions that our country should make in the war between Silesia and the Eastern Empire'"
Claudia recalls her earlier dialogue.
"The Kingdom of Silesia is rich in defeat. As it is, the whole of Silesia will be swallowed up by that young emperor, but how long is your grandfather going to be trying to turn his finger around?
'I think you missed the perfect time, though?
Behind that dialogue, if there is the work of the Ministry of the Interior faction...
The Ostmark Empire, whose information was distorted and judgment delayed by the hands of the Ministry of the Interior faction. In the meantime, northern neighbors have become more defeated and war-torn as they perish.
This fact alone makes me think of the thoughts of the Ministry of the Interior as natural.
"They sold their souls to Sergei!
On behalf of the Marquis Coudenhoff, he gave an angry expression and slapped the executive desk.
Did they just say that's what the ex-High Police Department did? I am well aware that an instant 'delay in judgment' can be a fatal injury to the state.
But at the same time the Marquis realized that he was being spearheaded.
If so, act to take it back. Thanks to Versbach, the Ministry of the Interior faction is losing ground day by day, so if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moves together, we can still work it out.
"Claudia. I want you to put in a meeting with the Minister of Military Affairs. Immediately, if possible today."
"Wow, okay. I have to work hard for my beloved sister's future husband too!
"Sister, what are you saying at a time like this!
"Eh heh."
Claudia laughed and put her hand on the door - it opened all by itself as she tried.
Hands behind your back.
The sisters and their grandfather see one man, standing on the other side of a door open at will.
"Excuse me, Marquis. I want you to cancel that appointment forever."
"... by what authority?
"Marquis" throws the question he knew.
In response to that expectation, the man throws an answer that he knew in a lofty manner.
"It is decided. Because I am the most honorable man in this country!
Standing there was Prince Valter Augustine Damien von Romanov-Hermesberger, who ranked seventh in the inheritance of the Empire of Ostmarc and was also the former fiancée of the First Princess of the Kingdom of Silesia, Emilia Silesia.
On this date, the following announcement was made to Esterburg, the Imperial capital:
I. Abolish the emperor Ferdinand of Ostmarc, the next emperor will be the seventh prince Valter.
I. Lay the imperial capital Esterburg an indefinite martial law.
I. Suspension of the activities of the Ministry of Information, which is a hotbed of fraud, and inspection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was involved in it.
I. Uncle Linz, Minister of Information, imprisoned after deprivation of the title of Marquis Coudenhoff, Minister for Foreign Affairs.
I. The families of the abovementioned nobles shall be placed under the surveillance of the revived High Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior.
I. Expulsion from public office of ethnic groups other than royal aristocracy and Livonian residents.
I. Express the formation of the Second Anti-Silesian Alliance. Diplomatic negotiations with the Eastern Continental Empire and the Union of Livonia Nobles have begun.
It is a January coup, I say to future generations.
