Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

It was July shortly after the war ended.

The season is summer, when the wheat is harvested.

This year, unfavorable weather and poor wheat harvest throughout the Adernia Peninsula seemed.

In the Kingdom of Romania, the price of wheat rose temporarily due to the penetration of the monetary economy throughout the country and the rise in prices due to the booming economy.

However, no starvation has occurred.

Rather, the homegrowers who grow wheat seem to have made a lot of money from rising wheat prices.

Originally, Japan had a lot of plains, and there was a harvest of wheat ...

Whether flood control irrigation has been successful or not has subsided.

The problem was the rise in wheat prices in urban areas, which soon subsided.

He temporarily allowed a Greek merchant to import a certain amount of wheat.

Thanks to this, wheat prices at least in the Federation of Romania have shown lull.

Now, the problem is more of a diplomatic issue than an already solved one.

The extinguishing of the previous war.

Four months later in November.

Little by little, it's cool and chilly.

However, a little cold is easier to regulate body temperature.

Thanks to that, the work was progressing.

That day, he and Raimond were discussing the extinguishing of the previous Attempt of Adelnian Liberation War.

"I don't know what to say after doing it, isn't it barre?"

I was a little nervous and asked Raymond.

If it comes to light that Japan's intrigue is a conspiracy, it will be a big problem.

But Raymond shakes his head a lot.

"At least, there are no rumors that our country has happened at the moment, because there is no evidence.

That's true.

All we did was secretly send information to Roselle.

And which country has spilled information into the Kingdom of Roselle ... no matter how much you look for such evidence, it will not come out.

Although……

"Let's be careful. Rumor to King Faldham's country that it was Gilbed who gave information to the Kingdom of Roselle."

It is clear that information was flowing to the Kingdom of Roselle as long as it attacked the logistics base accurately.

And if you can't determine the offender, the suspects are limited.

Romania or Gilbed ...

Or is it the pro-Roselle inside the country of King Faldam?

Someone in the kingdom of Domorgar is a possibility.

But the most suspicious of these is Romania or Gilbed.

The one who gained the most diplomacy was Romania. On the other hand, Gilbed has a grudge against Falderm.

Take the initiative so that there is no breach in our country.

Once Faldham suspects Gilbed ... Gilbed will point out the lack of ability of King Faldarm.

If so, the relationship between the two countries will worsen.

"I see. I'll take your hand."

Raymond bows and leaves.

Well ... do you clear your documents?

When I was trying to digest a huge number of documents ...

Iar is running.

"The Majesty ! The king of Zoldias has invaded the western nations!"

Oh ...

It was faster than expected.

It has been more than a year since the blockade of the king of Zoldias began.

According to intelligence reports, the kingdom of Zoldias appears to be quite dry.

"It seems that this crop has caused serious damage to the kingdom of Zoldias."

Lymond read and summed up reports from intelligence while he sneaked into the kingdom of Zoldias.

Apparently, wheat prices have soared in the capital of King Zordias' kingdom, and starvation continues to occur in rural areas.

Grain cannot be imported.

However, if the tax is reduced, the state cannot be maintained.

However, this will leave the people starving and, in some cases, revolts.

When it comes to it, it is inevitable to invade the western countries and plunder! !

It seems like thinking.

Well, I think there is no help for it.

Countries with many mountains and low crop yields, such as the king of Zoldias, will gradually decline or be beaten.

Originally, he seemed to have blackmailed neighboring nations every time a famine occurred, and in some cases attacked and looted it.

It may be similar to the national situation of the Sengoku Daimyo who ruled around Yamanashi Prefecture in the past.

However, I do not intend to forgive any sympathy.

"However, the western nations invaded by King Zoldias have stipulated that they are within the territory of King Gilbed. What should I do?"

Iar said, pointing to the western nations.

Indeed, sending troops here is a violation of the treaty.

"But are Western countries calling on us for help?"

Probably, Gilbed has made a similar request for help ...

Well, given the slow formation of King Gilbed's country, it's too late.

My favorite is Japan.

"It's about to be good. My relationship with Gilbed.

If you destroy the king of Zoldias, you can easily invade the western nations.

Then, if you conquer the southwestern countries, the southern area will be Romania's.

At that point, of course, I don't need a relationship with Gilbed, and I don't need an anti-Galia alliance.

"Let's refuse to say a word. Gilbed wouldn't be so discernable."

"So, do you want to dispatch an army?"

I nodded at Raymond's question.

"In the meantime, let's transfer some of the western countries to the Romania kingdom with the frustration"

You don't have to fear a gil bed.

"What is the strength of King Zoldias?"

"It's reportedly 10,000."

Ten thousand ... It's all.

"How many troops will you put out?"

I asked Bartolo for his opinion.

Bartolo answers with some thought.

"Let's go in 40,000"

Four times?

Bartolo seems to be overwhelming in number.

"Alexios. Do you have any opinions?"

Alexios is a Romanian aristocracy, but nevertheless.

He has led mercenaries and others, but has never participated in the military since he has never led the Romanian army itself.

However, the blockade of the kingdom of Zoldias was Alexios's plan.

That's why I called him here.

"I think I should challenge with 10,000"

Ten thousand.

That is the same number as the king of Zoldias.

The nobles and generals in the army frown all at once.

"The reason is?"

"If you attack in large numbers, King Zoldias will surely escape. It takes a long time to defeat King Zoldias in the mountains. Even so, the food situation in the kingdom of Zoldias is in a crisis situation. During the war, the kingdom of Zordias will be devastated; the occupation will fade, and the people's resentment will turn to Romania. "

So that's it……

With a small number, King Zordias will challenge the decisive battle, which will surely defeat him.

Is it possible to end with a short battle?

"The first thing to do is to thoroughly hit the main unit led by King Zoldias with 10,000. After that, you should use the overwhelming force to attack the castle (...)"

……HM.

If successful, Alexios's strategy is far more effective and easier to govern later.

"Bartolo. What do you think?"

"I disagree. King Zoldias is strong. This is for sure not an enemy to fight and win, but it has an overwhelming majority of troops. "

I personally prefer the Bartolo method.

Bartolo's method will surely drop the kingdom of Zoldias.

A general who defeats many with a small number of soldiers may be a great general.

However, the monarch served by that general will not be able to say.

If you are a really good monarch, you should give a great general three times the strength of your enemy.

A better monarch would have no war in the first place.

War is a diplomatic plan.

But I don't have the ability to unify the Adernia without a war.

I will continue to use force.

And then you have to rule.

The devastation of occupied territories by war must be avoided.

...... Should I bet?

Suddenly, a historical episode in my mind comes to mind.

As a great power conquered a country, the king of that power asked how many troops his general needed.

Experienced generals said they needed 600,000, and younger generals needed 200,000.

The king adopted the aggressive measures of the young general, who could conquer the enemy with 200,000.

However, the young general failed at the very end, and a long-running general wiped his butt.

......

......

......

I thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Alexios Cornelius"

I looked straight into Alexius' eyes.

"Can you do it?"

"If you order"

......

......

Alright, it would be good.

"Alexius Cornelius. Ten thousand soldiers defeat King Zoldias's army. Bartolo Pompeis forms 30,000 troops and waits.
