since Mage are human they can't go beyond safe zone (standard 4000-6000ft) while bomber can reach 10000. So, since a battalion can blow up a factory with ease the slow bomber is dead meat if they meet group of mages without protection of allied mages. I think somewhere in novel or manga, it's explained that mages is stronger than bomber because they have firepower of artillery and superior agility. Though for bomber, in Norden they're escorts. The Republic declaring war is a matter of course with them being closest hostile great power so they're afraid it would be them next.Īnd yeah, Dacia is incited by Republic and UK to seize the chance.Īs for artillery observer. Which is why Tanya in her monologue is enraged by the idiots in upper echelon, the duo general told them so but in public they say Republic declaring war is unexpected. That's why I wonder about the future of the LN series.Ĭlick to expand.Believe it or not, the Empire don't really have further plan than occupying Norden and Legadonia. In addition its said clearly in the Manga in a time skip that the empire had lost and were seen as evil. The final low chance battle resembles the final gamble of the real world German Empire in WW1 which was lost. In the end the military were forced to obey an order to fight one last battle they probably couldn't win, in the hopes that if they win a better deal could be made.
That's why despite winning the big battles the empire is financially ruined or close to it.Īt the end of volume 7 they won a large battle and had a chance for peace, yet the people weren't happy with the post war reparations they would get for not attacking the enemy anymore and agree to peace. The empire won every battle practically, but failed to use those victories to gain peace or max benefits, and get dragged into more conflicts, in Tanya's words in the LN. Tanya won almost every battle she takes part in, but the repeated wars over what I believe to be 7 to 8 years, Tanya now 14, took its toll on the empire. The north lost too much in the battle and just barely had enough power to fight the empire they provoked, and the fight got dragged on because the other big countries backed them from the shadows.ĭon't know about the west conflict started. The north were not expecting a real war and not prepared they got wiped out.Īfterwards was just the follow up. This was Tanya's first battle where she got the silver medal. The empire saw a large army cross their borders and without hesitation even after warning them, wiped the army out with artillery fire. The government of the north to gain public opinion launched a aggressive military exercise to the land not believing the empire would do anything. Some land was won and belongs to the empire from a past battle, but the north believed the land was still there's and the people were in rage that the empire claimed it as theirs, and recently reached peak dissatisfaction.
