"Hey, whoever."

"Ah, comrade, did you forget me in such a short time?"

"Huh? We don't remember when we got so familiar with the aristocratic faction. ”

"Well, don't be so cold." Comrades of the Imperial Liberation Front'. ”

"Master Xiu, although you have given us a lot of help, if you think that we will accept your affection in this way, then you are very wrong."

"Hey~ I'm sorry."

"Hmph."

"Well, we all have a common enemy, the Iron Prime Minister, don't we. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend, right~ This time, I'm here to send you money. ”

"Oh, that's a nice thing to say. Obviously, they want to use us to contain Iron Will. ”

"Ahh However, I'm sure I'll be sincere. Playing with each other or something, right, isn't that a bad thing? ”

"Let's listen to your conditions."

"Hey, all the garrisons of the aristocratic faction leading the confederates, the schedule of the railway gendarmerie during the non-garrison period, the list of the sons of iron and blood that I know, the hiding places of the nobles and reformist officials, all the banquet materials in the empire for the next four months. A sufficient amount of food, water, and medical supplies, as well as new combat vehicles and new heavy machine guns from the Karuman consortium. ”

"Hehe, what a great gift. I can understand that you are going to make a big event? ”

"As you understand. I am just a friendly collaborator who is extremely enthusiastic about the prosperity of the Empire. It is only because I agree with the ideals of the Imperial Liberation Front that I will help you without expecting anything in return. ”

"Don't you want to say it, forget it. That's how our relationship is, anyway. ”

"That's right. Your goal is the prime minister, and my goal is not in conflict with yours. Yes~"

"Hmph. Or is it an old time and an old place to pick up the goods? ”

"Well, that's right."

"Hmm. So be it. ”

The call lasted 3 minutes and 12 seconds, please ...... to save the recording.

"Hey."

"Ah~ Grand Duke Kane! Greetings for a long time! ”

“…… Hmph, you still have the face to communicate with me? ”

"Oh, hey, there's no need for Your Excellency to be so angry."

"Shut up! I don't need to be angry? Then I'd like to ask you what you mean by the little tricks you made in Crossbell! ”

"Huh? Grand Duke, you have wronged me to death! I want to work for the benefit of the Imperial aristocracy! ”

"You think I'm going to believe your?"

"Well, you didn't hang up, didn't you already want to hear it?"

“……”

"Actually, I'm sure you know it, Archduke, Crossbell is a difficult place. You must know how troublesome the Republic is, so I can't help it! ”

"Huh? Well, can you explain why you drove out all the members of the Imperialist faction? ”

"Oh Archduke, you don't know, Crossbell, these fat guys have gone too far. It's angry, that's why I have to endure the pain. ”

"If you say that, you're still reasonable!"

"Don't be angry, Grand Duke, I think so, you see, the people of Crossbell are very dissatisfied with our rule, right? I took advantage of this incident to raise my reputation to the top. What is it? It's a dictatorship! What kind of officials do I want to use at that time, and I still have the final say? When the time comes, I'll choose a group of people who look like civilians, but who is actually an Imperial Congressman, who knows? Moreover, I'm the Speaker, if anyone dares to ask a question, wouldn't it be nice if I would do some tricks behind my back to kill him? Right. We've gone straight from half of Crossbell to the owner of the whole Crossbell! I also have the blood of the noble Erebonian nobles, how could I have committed such a rebellious act? It's just a last resort for the glory that is coming. ”

"Oh, tongue lotus. Why didn't I see you so eloquent before? ”

"Hey, it's not all noble blood of the nobility! With such noble blood, it's understandable that I would become excellent. ”

"Hmph, you'd better do what you say. Otherwise, you'll never have the delusion to return to Erebonia. ”

"Yes! Everything is for the great Erebonia, everything is for the great Majes! ”

"Hmm."

Beep - 4 minutes of this call......

"Hey~"

“……”

Toot - this ......

"Hey~"

“……”

Dut - Ben ......

"Hey~~"

"You're not bothered! Repair? Harman! ”

"Oh, hey, don't be so angry, you're also an important member of the Parliament of the Republic of Calvard, and such a big temper will make people doubt your elegance."

"Ya, you're big! You kid! I really didn't expect everyone to be deceived by you! ”

"Well, it's a lie, aren't you a little too shameless?"

"Huh?!"

"Aren't you Calvard close to me hoping to expel the Imperial legislators by propping me up and causing a huge scandal? Really, when I can't see it? It's just that you're a little weaker in your calculations. It's child's play. ”

"You!!"

"I advise you, don't be so angry."

"Oh, you don't fart! Wait for Calvard's army! ”

"Oh, I'm so scared. Welcome, welcome, welcome. Please send your troops over quickly. Hurry up, hurry, I'll wait for you. I promise, open the gates and wait for you to come in. ”

“？！”

"Well, you'd better think clearly, can a mere Calvard face the combined offensive of Saiyaru and Erebonia? Tsk, this is a two-line attack between the east and the west. When Erebonia and Calvard joined forces to barely repel Saiaru, I wonder if Calvard can defeat our two great powers this time? ”

"What! That's impossible! Because, because Saiaru has an agreement! ”

"Agreements? Are you kidding me? Are you really a politician? Too stupid, right? If there is absolute power, the agreement is just a dead letter. We're really hands-on to tear up agreements, who do you think can help you? Liberal? Remiphilia? Codex Country? ”

"That's not right! How could Saiyaru collaborate with Erebonia! You're lying to me. ”

"Well, isn't it? Wouldn't you know if you put it forward in parliament and then actually call it? ”

“！ You kid! ”

"Believe it or not, it's already a fact that we're united. Otherwise, the Empire should have issued a statement denouncing me for the removal of the Imperial Legislature, right? So far, there is no such statement, don't you think, is there something wrong with it? ”

“…………”

"And, I can tell you right now, we, Crossbell, are going to organize our own army."

“！”

"All of them, the armed forces of the Karumen Consortium. What does this mean, I'm sure you get the idea. ”

"Karumen...... Saiaru ......"

"Hehe, we sincerely look forward to your attack. In this way, we can divide up Calvard by the way. The west belongs to the empire, and the east to Saiaru. Haha! Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, tsk, the republic is embarrassed this time! ”

"You, you guy, what the hell are you here for today!"

"Well, of course, it's just that I've been taken care of a lot by you, so I'm here to enlighten you."

“……”

"The purpose of the Empire, at least for now, is only a Cross Bell. Therefore, as long as Calvard stood still for the time being, there was no possibility of war. ”

“……”

"We're going to have a face, too. After all, the glory of the nobility is beyond the comprehension of you ordinary people. Listen, when you get back, prepare for battle, and one day in the future, we in Erebonia will take the initiative to issue a declaration of war to you. When the time comes, defeat or surrender, I hope you don't say anything about us being too despicable. I told you months in advance. ”

“…… Hum! Don't deceive too much! ”

"Recording function? Well, keep it. This is evidence of my first feat at playing with a monster-like country. Gee. I'm already looking forward to the wistful look on my son's face when he hears this recording. ”

"But...... My worst enemy...... It's not such a small role as an empire and a republic...... Saiaru. ”

――――――――――――

Let's talk about it the day after tomorrow.

After this unknown action, the actions of the Imperial Liberation Front in the empire suddenly became bold, and several terrorist attacks against reformist parliamentarians were planned one after another, and even the iron-blooded prime minister was temporarily incapacitated.

Although he offered to lodge a formal protest with Crossbell, he was objected to by his sworn enemy, Archduke Kane. He said that he should wait and see what happens, after all, the Karumen consortium and Xiu are inextricably linked, and no matter how exaggerated Xiu is, he is always a nobleman of the Erebonian Empire, and he should believe in his aristocratic glory. The current empire should concentrate on fighting terrorists. In the end, because of the large number of reformist parliamentarians injured and the majority of the voices in the government were from the aristocratic faction, the emperor decided to wait and see what happened, and first eliminated the terrorist attacks caused by the imperial liberation front.

Of course, it is said that it is to exterminate the imperial liberation front, but because of the fact that [the enemy of the enemy is a friend], the aristocratic faction is not working, and there are not a few nobles who hope that these people will solve the iron-blooded prime minister. Cold lips and teeth? The word is not taught in the aristocratic curriculum.

The Republic of Calvard immediately began its parliament in response to the incident in Crossbell, and the parliament was clearly divided into two factions, one firmly believing that it should be fought, and the other firmly believing that it could not be fought. At first, the two factions of parliamentarians were able to discuss well, but then they became more and more red-faced, and it almost turned into a quarrel.

The democratic parliamentary system is very bad in this regard, that is, when dealing with urgent matters, it will have the disadvantage of being slow to make decisions. Whatever the final conclusion, I'm afraid it won't work without a month.

Karumen? Haas returned to Crossbell, and no one knew exactly where he had gone in the Empire, who he had met, or what he wanted to do.
