This isn’t quite right. okay. No matter how much you think about it, this isn’t real!

Haven’t you done something similar to this before? never! It’s not similar at all!

When a meteor falls and the military’s morale is at its lowest.

The case is different if you used a kite to boost morale.

At that time, only the psychological aspect was a loss.

In other words, if you fill in the psychological part equally, it will be enough to turn the situation around.

There was no loss of material or casualties!

“Kaya. Could you please go out for a moment?”

“Why suddenly?”

“I have something to discuss with the manager here. Please do me a favor.”

If Kaya is here, she will definitely try to take my side.

So I decided to leave my sister outside the office for a while.

Coincidentally, someone said they wanted to talk to Kaya for a while, so I asked them to do so.

“Manager. Director of War Planning Department.”

Kaya follows the man out of the office.

I continued speaking in as serious and solemn a tone as possible.

“No matter how much I think about it, this is not for me.”

“Why is that so?”

“It is the commander’s responsibility to take charge of the military’s recovery. As someone who is completely ignorant about the military, I would rather be a hindrance than a help.”

Let me present an opposing opinion with a very logical reason.

But my efforts were so easily defeated.

“There’s nothing to worry about. You are not the one taking care of it. However, I just wish that the person in charge would provide appropriate advice and sparkling wit.”

Just like it did in the confrontation with Novogord not long ago. And just like throughout the pavilion.

Hearing the manager’s last words, I said, “Oh my gosh,” and touched my forehead.

As expected, that was the main reason why the situation was like this.

Well, I think the leg fit really well.

But what happened in the confrontation with Novogord?

The same goes for what happened at the pavilion. In the end, if you look at it, it was all just luck.

It was a shame that Lady Luck smiled at me, but if that wasn’t the case, I was confirmed guilty.

“I think you are too humble.”

It’s not humility. Boss. This is a really different situation.

The pressure on an ordinary guy who just knows a little more is enormous.

“Just looking at the entire pavilion, there was an opinion that it would be quite difficult. In fact, our War Planning Department was also paying close attention to the pavilion campaign area more than anything else.”

“… .”

“By the way, Prince Kyle. You came forward and the situation changed in an instant. You know very well that the coalition has become divided and are fighting among themselves, right?”

“That’s it… That’s right.”

I guess it won’t work. There is no persuasion in this way. It’s a change in strategy.

“Isn’t the second army leaving soon anyway?”

“Yes.”

“But why are you so passionate about taking care of the 7th Corps? Can’t we just pull it out to the rear and switch to a secondary army?”

In response to my question, the manager said, ‘That’s the problem because it’s not like that.’ I muttered.

The manager takes out a cigarette from his pocket, takes a bite, looks at me, and folds it back into his pocket.

Looking at it, it seems like there’s something I don’t know about.

“Transition deployment is an extremely simple military matter. But this is more than that.”

“Are you saying that there are overlapping political issues?”

“Okay. Imagine sending the 7th Corps, one of the most elite corps, but it falls to the rear after one battle. How anxious must the people of the empire who were confident of victory be?”

“… .”

“As a bonus, the Juhwa faction, which had been bowing down due to this alliance of three countries, may suddenly gain momentum. If that happens, there will be too much internal confusion.”

In other words, I’m not doing this to somehow make it seem like ‘nothing happened’.

It was shocking, but when I think about it again, it’s not completely ridiculous.

For that reason, if the 7th Corps were to be pulled back, the alliance of the three countries would be in trouble.

On the battlefield, momentum is more important than anything else. Once you are swept away, you will be swept away until the end.

In the worst case, it may affect the entire pavilion.

“Therefore. The 7th Corps must repair the damage and return to the battlefield.”

“Empty troops and materials are covered by secondary military taxes.”

“Like you said, the commanders will be in charge of that part. What is important now is how and how to correct the atmosphere of the 7th Corps. This is it.”

Hearing this, I understand why I was singled out.

Even the commander of the 12th Corps, who was with me right away, would feel like I was the best person.

To use a metaphor, it would be like putting honey on your body and standing in front of a beehive.

“Phew.”

“I understand your worries. But like I said, you only need to help with the cleanup. After that, corps commanders and commanders. And the imperial leadership will decide.”

yes. That’s what I’m worried about. I have a feeling they will order more.

They said all I had to do was fix it, so I worked hard and thought, ‘Oh. Is this possible too?’ You think you’ll do it?

“Do I just have to go and take care of it?”

“That’s right.”

“Really?”

“… Right now.”

aha. okay. ‘Right now’ means that.

Thank you for your honest answer. Thanks to you, I feel at ease. ha ha ha.

“I wish the 7th Corps had moved more slowly.”

“No. Boss. That’s something you don’t know.”

“What do you mean?”

Since it was a plan I had planned, I had roughly calculated the possibilities.

There is no need to win against enemies throughout the pavilion.

I’ve instilled that much doubt anyway, so sooner or later, boom! Because it will explode.

But the 7th Corps is different. First of all, there are almost no Forland troops in that theater.

The main force is Burghai. The assistant is Kaden. The armies of these two kingdoms are the key.

If we just confront them, the enemies will resolve their internal chaos.

Here, the resolution of internal chaos refers to one of two cases.

Either we spend more time dealing with Forland and learn the truth.

Or, the two kingdoms divide the Forland and use that power to fight the empire.

Whatever it was, Burkhhai, the strongest of the three eastern countries, had to be captured.

That way, Burghay could focus his energy on the empire and further stimulate Forland with his words.

From there, a picture is drawn of Forland, under pressure from Bois, finally leaving the union.

“Has the 7th Legion been caught up in some kind of scheme?”

“That’s not true. I just lost in a pure battle of momentum.”

“The coalition seems to be in quite a hurry as problems arise throughout the pavilion. If we fight so fiercely against the 7th Legion and push them away.”

So, the 7th Legion only fought because there was a reason to fight.

It’s not like I let my guard down or made a fruitless attack.

However, the problem was that the enemy’s resistance far exceeded expectations.

“But. After hearing this… I think the coalition side will also suffer significant damage.”

“They said so. So, even though the 7th Corps was defeated, the enemy was probably unable to pursue it.”

It’s said that they literally risked their souls in a team fight and everything was ruined.

It is a fortunate thing among misfortunes. If they had counterattacked, the entire pavilion would have been in danger.

“Many parts are intertwined in many ways.”

“Yes.”

Even today, that quote comes to mind. Tactics are subordinate to strategy, and strategy is subordinate to politics.

“Manager. Is there anything I need to pay attention to in the way I handle things?”

“I didn’t hear anything else. Rather, the higher-ups seemed to want to revive the atmosphere in the 7th Corps by any means necessary.”

“Any method can be used.”

Any way. Any way. I muttered that part several times.

“Manager. Is it really okay to use any method?”

“That’s right. Did you come up with any good numbers?”

I’m not sure if it’s a good number. It’s just that a case suddenly popped into my head.

“Manager.”

“I’m listening.”

“Perhaps it’s okay for someone valuable to use it?”

I told the manager what I was thinking.

After a while. Manager Eugene’s face twisted strangely as he heard that.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes. Didn’t you say any method would work?”

“But this is… shit. It’s not something that will end with me.”

The manager muttered, scratched his head and told me to wait a moment.

When asked where I’m going, I answer that it’s obvious.

“I have to go to the Minister. That’s because it’s not our Ministry of War, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs.”

2nd princess, Isabelle Heldenberg. Currently she was in the eastern part of the empire.

War broke out between the Empire and the three eastern kingdoms.

They declared war first, and the empire simply responded.

Until then, there had been gestures of reconciliation through the Juhwa faction.

Therefore, this war cannot be said to have been started by the empire.

Rather, it is safe to say that they have no choice but to respond to their offensive.

But that’s it. In the end, a war breaks out, so some people die and others get hurt.

From now on, we need to look into public sentiment in advance and comfort them. It must be so.

For that reason, Isabel volunteered to come all the way to the east.

“… The 7th Legion was defeated?”

You don’t know how surprised I was when I heard the news.

It wasn’t a crushing defeat. Burghay also suffered a severe blow.

However, it was not they who retreated, but the imperial army, so it was correct to say that they were defeated.

When the news was delivered, it was natural for the eastern part of the empire to show anxiety.

Although it has not yet spread to the level of chaos, it is undoubtedly shocking.

‘thank god.’

okay. It was fortunate. It just so happened that I, the princess, was here.

All we need to do is quickly calm the public sentiment and control the nobles in the area.

The emperor must have expected this role from him and allowed him to go to the east.

For the Emperor. For my sister. And for this empire.

Isabelle was wandering around today as well, trying to keep up with her schedule.

“Her Highness the Princess.”

One day. That is, until Kael suddenly appeared.

“Please do something with me.”
