TS Eiseihei-san no Senjou Nikki - Ch. 17.2

[Fushiginiku]

This chapter revealed that the people of Sabbath are actually against the war. How exactly are the people on the top able to get people to join the slaughter in trench warfare for 10 years straight without much results? The Russian Empire only lasted 3 years before the people had enough and revolted.

In point of fact, although it was spun later by a certain comb mustache man into some kind of "betrayal by the politicians", the Germans only lasted barely another year before their citizens were no longer willing to continue. They were basically a spent force by that point.

 

[YamiryuuZero]

I'm betting on the new girl being a reincarnator too!

 

[luna367]

She'll probably use some magical trump card to end the war... Magic sure is convenient...

 

[AbuHajaar]

Home before Christmas you say?

 

[AirKat]

Char Aznable is that you!?

 

[ansonh92]

Damn, death flags are everywhere today.
And, a silly looking helmet.

Anyways, the fact you are attacking your enemies with only 2x troop number is going to fail this from the start.
No surprised that your nation isn't winning over this 10 year war.

 

[Banana_Splits]

that helmet looks stupid af, looks like seintai or something like that

yeah. Everyone was done with the war by 1917, the French had mutinies and refusal to attack all over the front for a while.
Russia breaking first bought Germany another year of a tiny speck of morale. Italy was so broken, had the Germans and Austrians had any real strength left, they could have kicked them out of the war too before any help could arrive after Carporetto and let's not talk about the other german allies who also were all really exhausted.
Militarily speaking, the smart move for the Central Powers would have been to make peace "status quo ante" at this point, they might have gotten it. Of course that was politically impossible, telling your people "yh millions of you died, but we gained nothing, isn't that nice?" would have triggered Revolution anyway.

Wasn't that because everyone knew the war was lost by the time the US joined the war?

Years of blockade took its toll, and there were seemingly endless numbers of fresh American troops arriving in France to complete their training. Germany did make one final push on the Western Front that almost succeeded, if it weren't for under-trained American being rushed to the front line to stop the advance.

Wasn't Germany also contemplating taking over Austria-Hungary because of how incompetent their military had been throughout the war?

What was worse was because everyone in the Austro-Hungarian Empire had different cultures and spoke different languages, the same orders had to be translated into several different languages before things could get done. It was a nightmare coordinating every unit in the same army to be on the same page for any campaign.

The fate of the glasses guy in the hospital couldn't have been more obvious if he had draped himself in a death flag

he did drape himself in a death flag. his service is almost done and he showed a picture of his daughter.

 

[eremited]

Damn, that's tragic.

Spoiler

I'm guessing that the Austin Empire was losing the war for things to get that bad in the end. I'm also guessing that it's probably like how the The Empire in Youjo Senki was simply overwhelmed by everyone ganging up on them.

What does she do after the war, now that she managed to survive it?

Spoiler: Context

They're trading blows. Austin Army has its own genuis strategist but the girl, Sylph are that smart and capable of exploit any opening.

Touri played a huge part ending the war. She stay in the army helping stabilize the lawless area before becoming a diplomat. She's retired being diplomat after using a certain incident as an excuse.

Thank you for the spoilers.

Final question: Who started the war in the first place?

 

[Kikeemu]

i salute you, glasses guy with a chapter life expectancy of 4!!
Thanks for the meal!

 

[zekilee]

Thanks for the new girl, I hate her already for being battle hungry

 

[Serverclosed]

This turned for the worst.

 

[comwes907]

knew we would be cheated out of the intro setup

 

[pedronimo]

like a shittier tanya

 

[falconx8]

"Guys have you tried charging harder?"

 

[ta457]

Thank you for the spoilers.

Final question: Who started the war in the first place?

You mean the Austin–Sabbath war?

Spoiler: spoiler

The reason for it and who started it were never mentioned, I believe. At least not that I remember. All we know is that this war had been going on for 10 years at the start of the story.

Btw it seems eremited cut out a lot in his spoiler, so I’m going to give some more details.

Spoiler: spoiler

At the last battle that ended the war, Touri and her platoon launched a suicide mission during which Rodri died and she was heavily wounded. Afraid of Rodri's body being desecrated by the enemy, she carried him and jumped into the river that separated the two countries territories, hoping they would be together in death. They were washed up on the Sabbath side, and Touri was saved when she was barely alive. She then lived in a small village near the Sabbath border before joining the Sabbath army and fighting under Sylph Nova when a revolution broke out there. This is the next arc of the story.

There’s another big arc: the war between Austin and the Flamer–Aerys Alliance, where Touri came back and fought for Austin while Sylph joined forces with the other side. Touri only became a diplomat after this war ended.
