The Diggrattle Great Empire Western Army was steadily preparing for Operation Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter under the command of General Shade.

The invasion of the Kingdom of Veliraldo, the previous phase of which was the Royalist extermination of the Kingdom of Riviere, was failed by the dispatched forces of the Kingdom of Veliraldo.

However, with massive reinforcements from his own country, His Majesty the Emperor immediately issued an order, which became the operational decision.

On the bridge of the high-speed cruiser Riggin, General Shade was conducting a final confirmation of Operation Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter with the Tabernacles.

Chief of Staff Onor overlooked the map of the West, which was centered around the Kingdom of Verilardo.

"- For the first phase, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and Operation Airlach, the First Air Fleet has sailed its home port"

From the Great Empire itself, the launch of the new First Air Fleet.

It is a magnificent fleet of cruise ships of the age of mechanical civilization, Diamante Class II 'Onyx', to the flagship, following a large number of aircrafts of the age of magical civilization.

Its formation is cruise ship 1. Magic Civilization Cruiser 12, 100 Magic Civilization frigates. Add the transporter and it extends to 115 ships. Previously, the Great Empire's aircrafts outperformed each other in all aspects, including speed.

"The fleet flagship Onyx boarded Marshal Byle Airgal himself, the chief commander of the Air Force. I am also the Commander of the Fleet."

"Yeah, this First Air Fleet will participate in Operation Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, but outside our Western armies when it comes to command"

General Shade tilted his neck and ironically distorted his mouth. The Tabernacles said nothing about this.

Our commander, General Shade, is a lieutenant general, and Air Gal, by contrast, is a marshal with only three men in the army. Even if the intent and purpose of the operation are shared, General Shade cannot instruct Marshal Airgal, whose rank is higher, about his actions in the field.

"The First Aerial Fleet has as its primary objective the destruction of the Aerial Fleet of the same kingdom, which will exist, in support of the invasion of the Kingdom of Veriraldo by our Western armies"

The aerial fleet of the Kingdom of Verilardo, once supposedly destroying the Fifth Airfleet. Most of its work is likely due to aircraft….

"Is it okay to prepare for enemy aircraft?

If Chief of Staff Onor flinched his eyebrows, Shade tightened his mouth.

"I hear the First Aerial Fleet is loaded with magical civilization-era aircraft. I hear the performance is superior to the recently utilised Falcoon...... I can't tell you from not actually engaging."

The Tabernacles all turned out to be difficult. Shade urged the Chief of Staff to follow.

"Now it will be almost simultaneous with Operation Airach, but Operation Sauru will be conducted by a coalition of Imperial Navy and local requisition forces in the Norte Sea"

"This one, too, acts in line with military operations in the West, but outside our command."

……

The Great Imperial Navy, which entered the Norte Sea, is the First and Third Fleets. Of these, the first fleet is equipped with novel sea-going vessels built with the throw of airship technology.

Equipped with a reciprocal engine. It is a revolutionary warship in this world that can sail without sails.

However, some parts of the technology have not yet caught up with each other, which is inferior to the performance of sea-going vessels, especially in terms of armaments.

Since sea-going vessels without floating stones have to travel on their own through the sea, or wave resistance, they have to be designed to the right shape.

If we take the form of ignoring water resistance, no matter how we have a reciprocal engine, it will be inferior in speed than a sailboat.

The Great Empire had created a phenomenon where it was harder to build a sea-going ship than an air-going ship while equipped with a reciprocal engine.

Since the airships were thus to be built, the Navy has tended to shrink and technology has been delayed by one or two steps compared to the Air Force.

In view of the limited hull width, the weight gain due to reinforcement and the performance of the on-board reciprocal engines, the onboard guns also had to be used as the main guns in the aircrafts, the 8-cm fast-fire guns, which are the auxiliary guns class.

However, compared to the cannons previously mounted on combat sailboats by the Navy, the performance was remarkably improved and the ability to unilaterally destroy and ravage this world's common military ship opponents was present.

- It's just that the other side is the Verrillard kingdom.

Shade swallowed the word. In reconnaissance and undercover reports, the Norte Sea fleet in the Kingdom of Verilardo is dominated by combat sailboats as usual. but in a small number of cases, aircraft were deployed and utilized for pirate hunting, as well as uncertain information that unconfirmed warships were apparently deployed.

General Shade believes that this uncertain but unconfirmed warship is actually deployed in the Norte Sea.

There is no smoke standing where there is no fire. Although there is no information that a new shipbuilding is being constructed on a standout basis, the possibility of involvement around the seapang was fully considered.

"- Operation Sauru aims to secure control of the Norte Sea and to attack Nort Harwen as well as Fluff Island"

Chief of Staff Onor's explanation continued.

"Furthermore, the operation is also to be joined by the maritime forces of the Imperial faction of the Kingdom of Riviere, with the same maritime fleet already in a position of dispatch"

"They are trying to occupy Fluff Island and throw a stone at the cause of the long-standing Kingdom of Veriraldo"

Shade glanced over the Yale River on the map.

"I want to control this great river."

"Even as the Kingdom of Verilardo, tensions in the western part of the kingdom will increase if the Yale River is taken"

Shade agrees with the chief of staff.

"We can concentrate the attention of the Kingdom of Verilardo on the Norte Sea"

"So, Autumn - Implement Operation Four..."

The Chief of Staff of Onor directed the Novelcion State in the eastern part of the Kingdom.

"Our military contingents and the Novelcion National Army invade the eastern part of the Kingdom of Verilardo"

"The kingdom cannot extract reinforcements from the other side, and each one is destroyed. Their air fleet cannot be dispatched on a massive scale because the Imperial First Air Fleet is under more pressure than the North"

With hundreds of large fleets looming, we cannot afford to divide more than one ship into the Norte Sea or the eastern territories. That is the simultaneous progression of spring, summer and fall operations. Spring operations support two operations: summer and autumn.

"The problem is if even one enemy detachment of an Ambal class ship..."

One of the tabernacles spoke. Even a single vessel threatened to cause considerable damage to the Navy of the Norte Sea, the Novelcion National Army.

"If it's about one of the ships in the air, give it the means to fight it."

Shade shrugs his shoulders.

"If they send us on a squad basis, and both summer and fall are crushed, we'll have to get our asses together in Spring Operations"

"... and this is our last winter operation"

Send Imperial Army land forces to the north of the kingdom, to the territory of Cainighin. Operation Geblu - but this depended to a large extent on the war situation on all sides and was considered difficult to implement, especially without destroying the Kingdom of Verilardo aerial fleet in Operation Spring.

I've been thinking about...

"His Majesty the Emperor will put in a new force for Operation Gebru. I don't know what kind of troops will be sent myself, but whatever the outcome of Operation Spring, there is also the possibility of conducting Operation Winter"

"What are the forces of war that have not even been informed of the commander..."

Chief of Staff Onor clouded his expression.

"Also, are you like a monster maker?

"Could be"

But maybe not. Shade put his arms together.

After all, what was His Majesty the Emperor's send-off - the Western commander of the army was preoccupied with the idea.
