Continental Hero Senki

As one fact, the Ostmarc Imperial Army, which stands in the imperial capital of Esterburg, is not a single rock.

It is the current situation where the coup that holds the new emperor, Valter Augustine Damien von Romanov-Hermesberger, mingles with those who rebel against it, those who are static about wanting to be in their favor, all sorts of things, and call it "one army".

So when the Ministry of Information provided information to the Royal Silesian Army, it rated the Imperial Army's actual strength as "practically 20,000" even though it was really 50,000.

In other words, it is the figure of 30,000 deducted from 20,000 in real life that can be said to hold the key to this battle. Because that figure of 30,000 is more than the Royal Silesian Army's impending failure to free Esterburg.

"That is why we should come together to overcome this crisis"

One of the masterminds of the Imperial Army Coup, it is the Imperial Army General who supports Valter in military terms, no, Joseph von Schweiger, who made a second-class advance to the Marshal with this feat, commands a coup army named this Imperial Army Imperial Metropolitan Defense Corps.

He is a rooted nationalist, and a greedy man at birth, and a man who hates the Ministry of Information, whose powers have expanded significantly in recent years. There's no reason why he shouldn't ride the coup plot between the Home Office High Police and Valter.

But it's not like Marshal Schweiger would ever say incompetent. Even if the emperor and nobility have the privilege and some degree of personnel discretion, the Ostmarc Imperial Army will not promote incompetence to general.

He wasn't an exception to that, he used some cone, but he was also the man who went up to the Admiral with his own abilities.

Naturally, the Ministry of Information and Fine von Linz know that, and via it, so does Yuzef Waresa.

"What we should do is maintain order within the team. Especially in preventing break-ups. It is also to say that there is plenty of room for manipulation if we try to be enemies. Besides, this time we're talking about the remnants of that infamous intelligence ministry passing through to the enemy. I'm sure they'll do the break-up."

Schweiger's worries are the best.

In fact, morale within the military is significantly lower. Few believe that the Royal Silesian Army is more trustworthy than Schweiger, who is supposed to be on his side.

… especially from those who fought shoulder to shoulder with the army of the Kingdom of Silesia, especially Yuzef, in the war of Raskino independence or in the Seventh War.

Therefore, this rumor is already circulating.

The Royal Silesian Army on its way here is an elite, invincible army with men and women talented enough to pay back the Imperial Army 50,000 at their leisure.

.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Now, they don't know the rumor yet.

"My lord. It's dangerous to worry about all your inner worries. The enemy is already within our reach and we must deal with this"

"Exactly, the Chief of Staff is right. That's why we have to deal with internal worries and external illnesses at the same time"

"... although it seems impossible"

The Chief of Staff frowns.

An internal and external affliction is some kind of two-pronged operation in the spiritual and material aspects. The fear of a dispersed force and when its fangs will be stripped flirts with the Legion.

And eliminating that danger is, in a sense, more difficult than a normal two-front operation.

He wasn't the chief of staff who didn't know that, and Schweiger also knows that.

"We must relate to our enemies while we determine the loyalty of our men."

"Is it possible?

"I think it's possible."

Schweiger grinned lightly with his nose. A little self-derisive.

It was a laugh at the fact that my first battle as Marshal had become so lacking in glamour.

"Chief of Staff. I want your opinion first."

"Ha. We are a large unit with 50,000. The other enemy is only 20,000. If it is, then it is not necessary to stand in the city if it is to be on the foundation, and we should make use of this number of interests in the showdown in the plains. No matter how good a general is to his enemies, this difference will not be filled. There can be no doubt about our victory, and if we do, we can improve morale within the team and change the minds of those who rebel."

"Right. The Chief of Staff is right. Normally, you would."

Nod as Schweiger was satisfied. The Chief of Staff is also relieved that his opinion is not incorrect.

However, it was never said by the Commander that he would adopt the proposal.

"Yes, that's enough for a normal opponent. But the enemy is the infamous Ministry of Intelligence. You'd better think the enemy is the devil."

"Is the devil..."

"Oh yeah. Normal hands don't make sense to the demon opponent."

"... So, Marshal, what do you think?

"I'm going to go with the exact opposite of you. - It's a cage fight."

The Chief of Staff loses his word.

From a tactical point of view, there is no advantage whatsoever in having a cage fight. Instead, they trap large armies but thus do not take advantage of the advantages of numbers, and also lose tactical mobility.

Just because a tiger is strong doesn't mean he can't be locked up.

"I understand what you're trying to say."

Schweiger took control of the chief of staff with his hands in an attempt to express his opinion.

"My thinking about cage castle warfare is, for one thing, in eliminating internal worries. The Battle of Cage Castle, as you know, is forced to fight passively. Keeping that morale and barracks constant is another big deal. But under such circumstances, rebels cry out loudly for their existence."

He's right, cage battles are usually different from battles.

Sometimes waiting for an enemy requires more courage than storming an enemy. Especially under these circumstances, some would cry out loudly, "The commander is incompetent, a coward".

But it is he who cries out for it who is a spy, and an untrustworthy one.

It's hard to broil them out. But if they raise their voices from themselves, it will never be easier. And that can be easily achieved with the help of the High Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior, which was good at managing internal worries.

"And one more thing. We start a war with Silesia. But where is Silesia fighting now? The Eastern Empire. They are now in the winter and have stopped marching, but will resume in the spring"

"Does that mean that our army doesn't need to move because it's in strategic advantage?

"That's right. If you wait, the enemy will soon destroy itself. Wait for that opportunity and then blow the big Silesian idiots away. I think it's a good hand to wipe out both internal and external concerns."

Indeed, Schweiger's proposal makes sense and has interests.

... not that there are any problems at all.

"Tactical advantages - I also feel a little unwell to abandon the plain showdown"

"Right. I also expected a gorgeous showdown in my first line as a marshal, but that came off."

Shoulder clapping and laughing Schweiger. The Chief of Staff has difficulty responding.

"Chief of Staff. We must not lose once now. You know that, right?

"... Yes. Whatever."

That's something common in an army with an inner worry. Once defeated, what awaits is a breakdown of morale and a spectacular inner rub.

"In case you lose the battle on the plains. I'm the funniest thing in the empire."

…………

At this time, the Chief of Staff understood.

He is afraid. It could be a historical villain and a laugh, scared of a showdown. Schweiger had appealed to the Chief of Staff in previous conversations about how he thought and acted on things.

In fact, the Chief of Staff had reassured him that he was a competent man.

- From this moment on, however, the confidence and appreciation of the Chief of Staff in Schweiger will be lost.

At the end of the day, the choice of the Battle of the Cage made the impression that "Schweiger escaped his own responsibilities" more so to the man beside him.

… and the Chief of Staff understood intuitively that the impression would be the most important element in this battle.
