Chapter 67: The Führer seems to be angry
“What do you think, Eryu-san, about the underground bunker I built for emergencies?”
“Hmm, it’s not bad. I like it because it has a secret base feel.”
When I returned to Yamato from the Moruro Front, interesting things were being made.
I was surprised that a sturdy concrete basement, the Führer’s Bunker, was built under the Führer’s Palace.
There are flying monsters in this world, so it seems that they made this just in case.
It’s a romance, something like a secret base, isn’t it? It matches my preferences.
And then…
“Oh, I am glad that you are pleased, Your Excellency. It is worth the effort for our company to build this with the best of our technology.”
“Even for the army, we can feel at ease if such a vast underground fortress exists.”
Today is a kind of grand unveiling celebration, a lot of important people have gathered, such as military dignitaries, top officials from the construction company involved in the project, and government officials.
Maybe around 20 people? The narrow basement is full to the brim with people, people, and more people, even in the hallway outside.
I was sitting at the table in the conference map room, wearing a pair of glasses for fashion purposes.
Fufu, It would be quite picturesque, don’t you think?
“Excuse me… Ah, excuse me, I will pass through.”
……Hmm, it’s kind of noisy outside.
It seems that someone is heading towards us, pushing their way through the crowd.
The door was opened… Ah, it’s Tsuji-san, who was a staff officer in the Beastvania war. So now that you’re also working as a staff officer in the home country, you’ve really moved up in the world.
“Your Excellency, the Luna Kingdom has betrayed us. It seems that the Albatross Union Army has been defeated, and the enemy has succeeded in breaking through a large part of the front line.”
“……Pardon?”
“The Dark Elf Army is currently invading Lusiya and Dorcelli. Luna is launching an attack on the neighboring country, Freyd, with an army of 100,000…”
……Wait a minute, it’s so sudden that I’m having trouble wrapping my head around it.
Eh, betrayal? Defeated? Also, Tsuji-san, what is that bread? Are you going to eat it? I’m telling you, I won’t eat it.
Um, that…
“I think the Albatross Union will counterattack and restore order…?”
Look, both Dorcelli and Lusiya are not weak countries. There is also Londeria? Freyd is going to surrender soon, but look, they can handle this somehow.
“Your Excellency…”
“The Albatross Union Army has…”
“The Albatross Union Army has already been annihilated. The royals have been captured by Luna’s treachery, their national functions have been paralyzed, and they are no longer able to fight…”
……In other words, that is, uh… Betrayed, the United Kingdom of Albatross falls completely?
I wonder, what is this feeling?
Luna, at such an important time? Did they just boldly betray us, the Yamato? Well, umm, it’s been a long time since I’ve lost my temper.
I remove my glasses with trembling hands.
“Anyone other than the following people, please leave the room. Tsuji-san, the Army’s Baldy, the Navy’s Crew-cut guy, and the Blonde from the Imperial Guard Intelligence Department… You blockheads.”
Everyone leaves the room in droves… Ayame-san nonchalantly stays even though she’s not being called.
And then!
“Why didn’t you know about the betrayal!? Is the intelligence department incompetent!?”
I shout unintentionally. What the hell, what were the local agents doing, to be unaware of such a massive betrayal?
Ayame-san said, “Eryu-san, please calm down! Look, it’s almost time for dinner…” What are you saying, but… That’s not the point, do you understand!?
Then do it quickly, “I want to eat some seabream! And Borscht!” I reply to her.
I suddenly felt like eating.
“Honestly, all of you are… Ouch, it hurts.”
“Ah, Eryu-san, it’s dangerous to stand up suddenly. You are going to hit your knee on the desk… It is good that you are not injured.”
Mmm… It hurts, this stupid desk!
“I really hate traitors! This desk and that Luna’s fool, they betray me immediately! Ouch… Fool! Damn it!”
“Oh, she’s stutter. How cute!”
“Anyway, what the heck is up with those guys from Luna! They are just noble and royal in name only, they do not know anything about war or diplomacy, is the only thing they know is how to use a knife and fork!?”
“Your Excellency, please calm down…”
“Urgh! Can you remain calm with this! Whenever those guys come up, they always interfere with my plans!”
“……Eryu-san, here, let me give you a pat.”
I am not going to stop with just a simple pat today! I am going to say what I want to say.
“My judgment was not good enough! I should have purged them as well, just like Stalin did!”
“Hey, who is Stalin? I don’t know, okay?”
“He’s the leader of the bad guys. He works for International Jews.”
Blonde with beast-like eyes from the Imperial Guard Intelligence Department over there! What do you mean by ‘International Jews’? Please don’t use such suspicious words.
I mean, it’s all because you messed up in the first place that we didn’t notice the betrayal! Idiot!
Ayame-san, please pull out your chair. I’m going to sit down… Thank you.
“Haa, haa… I didn’t attend a military academy, but I’ve turned this country into a respectable and strong nation.”
“……You’ve calmed down quite a bit, Eryu-san. Here, come into my chest. So you can be even more calm, okay?”
“Mm.”
Her chest is soft. When Ayame-san hugs me, it makes me feel incredibly calm. Well, it’s not as much as you’d think, but boobs.
“Oh, so this is Yuri! It really catches my eye, meow!”
I can hear something, but I’m ignoring it.
……Phew, now, it’s about time to get serious.
“This is a terrible betrayal to the subjects of the empire, no, to us humans. Those Luna bastards, they must pay with their blood. Hey, Crew-cut, please call Shibata-san.”
“Shibata, are you referring to Shibata of the Naval Aviation Development Department? Who is currently developing a large bomber…”
“That’s right, and please give them an order. To deploy the bomber that is currently being developed to active service immediately. The name is… That’s right, let’s provisionally call it Retaliation Weapon No.1.”
“Retaliation Weapon No.1. Does that mean that there are No. 2 and No. 3 as well?”
“Of course.”
“Yes, sir.”
And then…
“Army. Which divisions can be deployed… No, I don’t think any of them can.”
There are four divisions in Moruro, two divisions for the development of Manchuria, and considering the defense forces for various places… I don’t know any unit that can go on an expedition…
“……Apart from our own army, King Balka himself offered 20,000 soldiers when he heard that Queen Diana of Lusiya had been captured. We are told that the half-beastkin country of Elysium can also send 20,000 regular troops.”
“That alone will be enough. Immediately load the transport ship. I’ll take command myself, and repel the elf army.”
“Yes, sir.”
In addition to the 40,000 troops, there are more troops scattered around that can be rallied… It looks like we can at least fend off the elf army.
I’m worried because it’s not our military unit equipped with modern weapons, but… I will still crush them even under the same conditions as my opponent.
After that, it’s Luna’s turn.
What kind of thought process led them to think that they could betray us in such a crucial situation and not get angry?
They will pay for the crime of ruining the Albatross United Kingdom, which was finally becoming a stable market.
You see, I really hate traitors.
Do you understand, Ayame-san?
……Anyway, because of various circumstances, I missed the chance to retort.
“Who is that blonde anyway? That person definitely isn’t Yamato people, right?”
I’m pointing to a suspicious blonde who belongs to the Imperial Guard Intelligence.
“Him? He says that his name is Reinhard Heydrich… He is the self-proclaimed intelligence officer from Dorcelli. Because he is excellent, I scouted him as a local spy commander.”
Before I knew it, he had been promoted to the top of the intelligence department. Ayame-san continues.
Reinhard Heydrich? Sounds like a name I’ve heard before. Hmm, I can’t remember.
It sounds very familiar to me, but…
Ah, weren’t you a former Nazi? A person like that.
……Well, it’s a different world, so they are just different people who only resemble each other, right?
