It's all one flower.

1214. Fake News

Six workers style men gathered in a room in an abandoned building located in the western part of the capital, Rufus.

Ensign Lazutočik explains the communications network of the Republic of Artel in front of demon-mounted soldier Rubel and four engineers.

"Worldwide communication networks, not just Artel, build submarine cables literally like the eyes of a net. In the deepest places it extends to as deep as 8,000 meters."

"To that point..."

The engineers end the sentence.

"The bottom of the sacred Lake Lacus is no longer an exception. Also..."

"Ensign, may I ask you a question?"

One of the engineers [Flying Swallow] school weather forecaster Nayabri raised his hand modestly.

I was broken in the hip of the story, but Ensign Razootchik responds without a distracted wind.

"What? If I can figure it out, I can answer it."

"I'm afraid so. I remember seeing an article in a magazine some decade ago that said something about satellite communications on the phone, but isn't that used anymore?"

"Mm-hmm. Good question. I was just about to explain that."

"Sorry"

Engineer Nayabri pulls his face down and turns blue, but Ensign laughed and said.

"Satellite communications operate from tens of thousands of kilometres above the ground, but when it comes to sending data back and forth the same distance, the communication speed drops exceptionally. Therefore, in recent years, the method of passing through the optical cables crawled into the seabed and so on has prevailed. Communication satellites are still in operation, using both."

That's all Rubel hears for the first time.

The engineers listen with a nod. He looks happy without a heart.

The reworked engineer Nayabri keeps asking questions.

"So not only do you disconnect the lake bottom cable, but you also target the receiving antenna for satellite communications."

"Mm-hmm. A large satellite antenna that receives radio waves from an artificial satellite and taps a relay base station and an exchange station"

Ensign Razootchik nods at me.

We finally know why General Al Jadi purposefully elected engineers with limited combat capabilities, such as [knitting reed cuts (Yoshikiri)] and [flying swallows] schools.

The general immediately laid down his life after figuring out what knowledge and skill the engineers at the end possessed. The demon soldier Rubel was still impressed.

"The Republic of Artel is connected via the Internet to the countries of the Alton Gaza continent on the other side of the Far Peng Ocean, with the funds, supplies, weapons and information necessary to carry out the war."

"If you shut down the lines, you can stop them temporarily."

Engineer squad leader Utra confirmed, Ensign Razootchik nodded and turned on the tablet terminal.

"That's right. Artel circulated news mixed with false information, hustled and told us that our country was the enemy of all mankind, and took on support from the common linguistic community around the world, instantly (don't do it), the Kirkurus community. It justifies the massacre of non-combatants in indiscriminate bombings of our country."

It was directed at the engineers on the official website of the Starlight newspaper.

Headquartered in the Banksian Republic with its cathedral, it is primarily a newspaper for Kirkurs.

Of course (of course) it is written in the same common language as the Bible.

Ensign followed the screen to show the "Conflicts and Wars of the World" category.

The war that Artel suddenly waged on Nemoralis is featured as the "Devil's Asthma Gun War". Massive headlines are only from the Artel side of the spectrum, with all the words convenient for the country.

The engineers all seemed proficient in the common language, muttering "such a stupid" and looking at the Ensign.

Prime Minister Cripeus, refuses to engage in dialogue with President Poderes

Opening the article for the first time I saw it, the Artel side applied for a discussion towards a ceasefire through a neutral Dycare republic, but the Nemoralis side said it silenced this.

"I've never been here to talk about that."

"What... what is that supposed to mean"

Mary, an engineer from the [Wearing Woodpecker (Kitsuki)] school in the civil field, sees a second lieutenant in the Army Intelligence Department.

"Before that, do you know what kind of country the Republic of Dycare is?

"I'm ashamed to say, I only know it's in the Hudong region. Don't study, I'm afraid."

He returns the question and makes me feel sorry for him.

The other engineers seem to have only the same level of knowledge, which makes them look disturbed.

"Nearly a hundred years have passed between the Fraxinus and the Kirkurs, but United Nations forces, mainly the Barbatum Confederacy, intervened by force, and last year peace was established."

"Which one won?

[Knitting reed cuts (Yoshikiri)] The school's engineer, Marlt, listens terribly.

"It's a Kirkulus country now."

"... so, are you neutral?

Engineer Mary tilted his neck.

"After the civil war, Dycare entered into a national deal with Artel, and exchanges flourished, both public and private"

The governments of the Republics of Nemoralis and Dykea do not have formal diplomatic relations even after the end of the civil war, and the Nemoralis side lays restrictions on travel on the grounds of deteriorating security and religious repression of the Fraxinus.

The two countries do not have a direct line of communication with the Head of State.

Due to the lack of Internet facilities on the Nemoralis side, even if the Dycare government posted a message on the official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or something, it would not reach Prime Minister Kripeus.

However, a company based in the city of Lyabina established a local corporation in Decea.

If anything went wrong, they would not be protected by the Nemoralis government, but the private sector, which is sensitive to seeing the opportunity, entered independently and economic activity preceded them.
