220. Trauma (1)
“How is it? This is the guy you dragged in. Do you like the look?”
“Huh…”
As soon as Arya saw her papers unfolded, she let out a sigh.
Personnel orders, personnel orders, and more personnel orders······. She
She keeps creating new corps and sending generals away as commanders there.
Still, it would be right to see this as Roman’s own consideration.
If she came to her senses and proved her abilities even while there, she would have given her a chance to return.
Of course, considering that, she was a crazy person.
“Isn’t this a greeting that can only be done with His Majesty’s approval? If so, did you notice Roman’s intentions…?”
“No. I have no idea. I just accept everything he asks for.”
“·······.”
Oops.
I thought you were paying for the incoming documents without thinking.
I couldn’t help but close my eyes.
Isn’t it like this, on the day Roman has an accident, I, who dragged Roman in, is also entangled in it and ends up being smashed.
Still, I looked over the documents, wondering if there was something Roman intended.
‘No, there isn’t one…’
No matter how you look at it, it was a random, thoughtless relegation.
As there was no suitable successor, the adjutants of each division were acting as the division commander.
At this rate, even if the kingdom army pushes down tomorrow right now, it will be wiped out?
I couldn’t bear to look straight into Arya’s face.
“Your Majesty. I will take responsibility for the commander of the Roman Army-“
“Uh ha ha ha!”
“Your Majesty?”
“Your reaction is interesting! I didn’t know you were the one with such a colorful expression! Come to think of it, there are documents I forgot to show you. Here they are.”
“·······?”
Arya, giggling as she grabbed her belly, pulled out her papers from behind and handed them over.
I took it in with trembling hands and examined it carefully one by one.
Organization change plan·······?
“Moreover, Roman seems to think that the current division structure is too small and the corps too large. He merges the two existing divisions into a new division, and changes the existing corps unit into a division unit. Suggested.”
“Did Your Majesty approve of that?”
“I thought it made sense. How does it look to you?”
“To be honest, great.”
The Imperial Army initially moves in units of corps.
No matter how small a country goes to conquer it, tens of thousands of troops must move.
All systems are designed to work like that.
However, it had as many disadvantages as its advantages.
First of all, the headquarters is getting too big.
The Imperial Army is a division that is by no means small, but the size of the Corps Command, which commands all three divisions, has grown enormously.
Of course, this is not a problem in the real world where communication and transportation are developed.
However, in a fantasy world where the roads are narrow and the communication environment is poor, it becomes difficult to deliver commands.
It can be seen as a problem caused by some idiot putting reality into a fantasy world as it is.
Also, the fact that the number of corps was too small was also a big problem.
Currently, the Imperial Army consists of four corps.
The 1st Corps defends the island and its vicinity, the 2nd and 3rd Corps guards the north along with the Marquis, and the 4th Corps is dispersed in the south and east to guard against beastmen and elves.
Theoretically, there is no problem since each area in charge is divided.
However, this method revealed a problem in the Freya-Trude War.
In the war against the kingdom, there was only one corps initially put into service.
However, as the war lasted for a long time, two corps, and later, even abandoned the defense of the capital, and three corps were put in.
The kingdom endured for over a year.
Then, what would happen if the Empire, which had left the capital empty while only one legion guarded the vast borders of the south and the east, was beaten in the back by the Allied Forces of the Great Forest and Desert?
Fortunately, that didn’t happen, but the moment was considered one of the most vulnerable in the history of the Empire.
The number of people who are aware of these problems is by no means small.
Even I vaguely knew, so the geniuses of this world must have racked their brains to solve this problem day and night.
However, since all sub-organizations and systems are geared towards corps unit battles, it was usually not difficult to change one by one.
So, while everyone knew it, they just shrugged it off, but Roman submitted an extensive reorganization plan and embarked on an emergency reform.
It was only when the number of divisions was drastically reduced in this way that the personnel who demoted a large number of generals could be understood.
“I thought he was just an excellent commander, but I never thought he would be so good at administrative skills.”
“I never thought it would be like this…”
“Don’t be humble. You’re unlucky. Didn’t you bring in Roman after knowing everything?”
“·······.”
He knew he was great, but he didn’t expect it to be this good.
In the thick plan, it was evident that he paid attention to every detail.
To prevent too much confusion, there were a few parts that kept their original form even though they were somewhat inefficient, and there were parts that were boldly replaced.
Befitting Roman, who first enlisted as a navy sergeant and was later commissioned as a second lieutenant in the army and rose through the ranks, the reforms that took into account the positions of the lowest ranks stood out.
“If you change the organization like this, there will be a total of 6 divisions. One division will be deployed for the defense of Jedo Island, three divisions for the defense of the north, and two divisions for the defense of the south and east, respectively.”
It was a neat arrangement.
With this, even if the kingdom, the great forest, and the desert attack at the same time, it should be able to block it without any problems.
Of course, there was no such thing as a great war, but even considering the response to Asylum, it was much more advantageous to have a smaller unit.
I don’t know if this was an accidental hit or if it was intentional.
Should I ask Roman directly later?
I decided not to touch him because he would be very busy with the reformation right now.
“Looking at the paperwork, it looks like it’s very shiny. Of course, no one knows what it will be like when it’s fully realized. If the reform fails, you’ll be responsible.”
“Yes. At that time, I will take full responsibility and take care of it.”
“I was kidding. What are you taking seriously?”
“·······.”
She glared at me with Arya’s bewildered expression.
Aren’t my responsibilities right?
She raised her head a little bewildered.
Then Arya choked up and held out her hand, bursting out with her laughter.
Seeing her palms open and pointing upwards, she doesn’t ask for a handshake, nor does she want to kiss the back of her hand ······.
I approached her enchantedly and grabbed her hand.
As a result, it ended up looking like reading a palm.
“This is what the guy you brought in did. There’s no way it won’t go well.”
Is this being sarcastic?
Am I going too far?
“I think you have too much trust in me.”
“I will continue to trust you excessively. You just have to repay that trust.”
“But-“
“Don’t vomit. You’ll never fail. If you have any doubts about yourself, take my word for it. Got it?”
“Okay.”
I have already failed several times.
I barely suppressed what I wanted to say.
From noble mtl dot com.
In hindsight, it was also true that no matter how many small, trivial failures we made, we never made any major or major mistakes.
Thinking about it while touching Arya’s hand, I felt a little relieved.
“What, what are you fiddling with so much! If you’ve done everything you need to do, you’ll be gone.”
“Yes. I will, Your Majesty.”
“But if you ever feel intimidated again, and you can’t tell anyone about it, you can come to me. I’ll always tell you the same thing.”
“·······.”
I was a little surprised by Arya’s consideration.
She might have been quite valid if she had said this not too long ago.
But no matter what worries she has now, she can hug Emilia and confide in her. But to be honest, she doubted that Aria would ever find her.
“I’ll consider it positively.”
“Neynom…”
What if you want to confide in the possession?
Aside from her family history, I thought it would be okay to talk to Aria, who is mentally strong and her mouth is heavy.
But of course she was only considered. Consideration only.
She won’t come unless she’s really suffering from mental illness.
***
“Hello, deputy count.”
“·······.”
Lichtenburg House.
She put her lips on the back of her lady’s hand as she was polite, and her expression returned with a puzzled look.
Isn’t it too blatantly disliked?
“Yulia is in her room. Please refrain from letting her into the boat like last time.”
“Today I am not here to see Yulia. Of course, I will see her face, but that is not her purpose.”
“So what about…?”
“The price for the alliance has yet to be paid. As far as I remember, I think we decided to ask for what we wanted later, is that right?”
“That’s how I remember it.”
“I will request the use of the cave in return.”
“·······!”
A fragment of a dimensional rift.
That is the identity of the crystal ball located in the cave.
The dimensional rifts the demons rode over closed and left fragments large and small here and there on the continent, and the crystal ball was one of them.
Each fragment causes a strange phenomenon, but the crystal ball in that cave shows the user’s past.
It is said to be a crystal ball, but it is in fact bound to a specific time and space, so it is impossible to move it.
That’s why the Lichtenburg Mansion was originally built here to occupy the fragments.
······ Is the setting for the cave that shows the past.
I had written it down before, but I completely forgot about it because it was a setting that was not used in the main story.
“Are you really going to do that?”
“More than enough.”
I think we’ve come quite close to the ending.
In other words, we have come a long way.
From now on, it means that the knowledge of the original work is almost useless.
As such, more and more information is needed for judgment.
Information about Schluss’ past will never be an exception.
If you can get a vast amount of vivid records of the past just by putting your hand on the crystal ball, what reason to avoid it?
I can’t just run away in fear just because it’s the past of the person who took over my body.
Now was the time to confidently face my past, Schluss.
