Mage? Spell Engineer!

Rorschach has a lot of information on hand, some from Valois, some from the Empire, and even letters from Istani.

He asked Andre beside him: "Has the Senate passed the wartime bill?"

Andre nodded: "All three districts are going well."

The representatives who attended the special meeting of the Imperial Parliament returned to Bavaria not long ago, and now they are deeply terrified. The Empire has launched a thorough general mobilization, and it is very likely to completely take over the southern states.

The three districts of Bavaria are now tending to unite with each other. At the beginning of the division of the three districts, the three places were eager to introduce local regulations suitable for themselves, and now they are united again under the pressure of the Empire. Bavaria's idea of ​​​​surviving the Empire is exactly the same as the special district's redemption from the royal family: they hope to provide the Empire with enough industrial products and other support in exchange for relative autonomy.

Under the mediation of the retired old chancellor, William II reluctantly agreed to the request of the three Bavaria districts.

In order to satisfy the appetite of the Empire, all factories were running at full capacity. Workshops outside the Special Zone cancelled workers' holidays and extended working hours. In addition to investing in constructs to assist production, the Special Zone also took the lead in recruiting women into arsenals to produce bullets and shells, which was soon followed by other places.

The railway tracks in Byrne were officially connected to the Empire, and military trains pulled gray-clad soldiers to the battlefield on the Eastern Front.

At a closed-door meeting of the Special Zone Autonomous Committee, Rorschach warned: "The intensity of the war from now on will exceed all past battles.

"Until this summer, the fighting was concentrated and confined to one place, and the forces deployed by both sides were far from the country's limit.

"In the past, the Republic and the Empire have each had the ability to mobilize the whole country.

"For Valois, it has completed the transformation of the country. Although Valois has always been in turmoil, it has established absolute authority over the local area through terror and has the ability to mobilize the power of the whole country to fight the Empire.

"And the Empire, especially the Imperial Capital, took advantage of the fear of the Southern States towards the Republic and abolished most of the autonomy. By building the 'Helmut Line', the final north-south coordination and infrastructure unification were completed, which enabled them to fully exert their military and economic advantages."

In other words, the major countries on the two continents cleared many obstacles with the help of the "state of emergency" and finally had the ability to fight a total war in terms of material and system.

There are other forces that participated in the war and disrupted the situation. In the past, they did not have the ability to participate in the situation. After a year of uneasy turmoil, they were finally ready to end.

After the destruction of the Shadow City in Istani, the royal family had an unknown major change. The Twelve Knights split up, some turned to the parliament, and compromised with the Gray Elves in exchange for El Island to stay in the system.

The negotiation during the period was translated into human language as: Well, can we still be together? Can you give me a chance?

Originally, the Gray Elves wanted to completely break off with those guys and take revenge on the main island, but the "Goddess of Victory" Silsha, who invaded the main island, said that she hoped not to start an endless mutual killing. After she brought victory to the gray elves on El Island, she brought peace. The "Istani and El Federal Republic" was established.

Of course, according to Rorschach, it is definitely not that the Virgin Mary will unite the two sides as soon as she appears. The real situation should be that Istani's overseas colonies accepted the exiled royal family and inherited the elite of the navy, which put enough pressure on the main island and El Island.

These colonies are not really loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They are purely weakening the colonial relationship with the main island and paying less tea and sugar taxes.

The two sides are in sharp opposition. The Empire has long coveted overseas colonies and promised the Istani royal family to restore the country. It is unknown what kind of deal was made during the period. On the contrary, the I-E Federation, which was afraid that the Empire would invade the main island, firmly chose to take the initiative with the "Brother Republic".

At the southernmost tip of the continent on the other side, the Church of Order has reached its limit of patience with the Republic.

After the "Seraphim Persecution", the strength of the God's Grace was severely hit, and the church's property in Valois lost strong protection.

The National Salvation Committee chose to cooperate with the mages, taking back many of the functions undertaken by the church, such as marriage registration and population registration, and dividing the church's wealth with the mages in a 50-50 ratio, and taking all the land back to public ownership and auctioning it to enrich the treasury.

The southern countries were also afraid of Valois's intention to promote the "sister republic". They formed a coalition under the call of the Pope, and seemed to have the determination and posture to fight another holy war.

"The above newly joined forces are variables, but they are actually too far away from the two major countries and are not to be feared." The main island of Istani broke with its overseas colonies. If one side came out alone, its strength could only be a soy sauce on the mainland. What's important is that the main island has a huge industrial output value to support Valois and make up for the Republic's weakness relative to the Empire, while the Empire can continue to obtain raw materials from overseas.

On the other hand, the variables that the coalition led by the Southern Church can produce are whether it can meet with the army on the eastern front of the Empire, otherwise it is hard to say whether it can defeat the garrison of the National Guard. Unfortunately for the church, according to the intelligence Rorschach obtained from the Imperial Army, the Eastern Front had no intention of moving south, which means that the coalition forces were most likely cannon fodder to contain the National Guard's southern army.

After all, the Empire-Valois-Bayern's army had already evolved to the next version, and if others wanted to join the game, they would probably have to pay a large tuition fee first.

"What about us?" The members of the Special Zone were most concerned about this issue. What actions should the Special Zone and the entire Bayern take?

"Originally, I was going to say this to the representatives of the committees from the other two places, but it doesn't hurt to unify our thoughts in advance." Rorschach knocked on the table: "The purpose is... Enter the village quietly, don't shoot!"

Ah? Obviously, the committee members have not watched the drama, so they can't understand what Rorschach meant.

He could only explain in detail the next course of action for Byrne: "It seems that the Empire can make great progress on the Eastern Front. This army, relying on the large defense line, can encircle the National Guard troops deployed in the northeast. Whether it breaks through the defense line or the main force of the Empire, it will suffer huge losses.

"And if the Empire's Eastern Front Army wants to achieve this goal, they must complete the encirclement as quickly as possible, and the captured area cannot be effectively occupied. It just so happens that the occupied area borders Byrne and is rich in coal and iron resources."

The director of the steel plant was the first to understand Rorschach's spirit: "You mean we can take over the occupied area on behalf of the Empire."

"Yes, let them fight the main force of Valois. Since we have to supply the Empire with armaments, we can't work for nothing, right?

"Of course, let me make it clear first. We are not going to other countries to fight a security war. The Valois' territory will continue to be managed by the Valois. Don't be afraid that they will rebel, because the armed forces in the occupied areas have been removed by the Imperial Army.

"And we only control the transportation lines and minerals, and we will ensure that the local production order and social order will not be disrupted."

Although it is so gentle, the occupied areas will definitely gather resistance forces after a while. However, from the beginning, Rorschach did not intend to let Byrne occupy the territory of Valois for a long time. Byrne's military strength should be retained as much as possible until the eve of the victory of the two major countries.

After entering the Senate, Rorschach's source level has reached a new level, which makes him confident that he can see the next "script" clearly.
