International Relations

Army
The Empire has the most outstanding and advanced army in the alternate world. Majority of their manpower were all focus in land, air and not sea. Now both air and land are prioritize due to the opening of Mages. Thus, Empire's army are more powerful and dangerous enemy.

Navy
They have large amount of submarines than long-ranged and heavy barreled battleships. Submarines can move under the sea and cannot be seen by the destroyers. They have limited manpower because of less priority in navy so they are not powerful than UK in sea.

Airforce
They have minimum air power and resistance but advanced long-ranged fighter planes. All of their pilots are elite and highly-trained personnel. Therefore, they put a lot of effort to maintain the air superiority in the sky.

Research and Development
With the guidance of Dr. Schugel, Empire finally created an unlimited orb such as Type 97 Elinium Orb that help their mages to move freely to 8,000 feet above sea level. The researchers are dedicated and motivated to create and improve their technology.

Land/Air
In land, Empire's researchers and engineers developed long-ranged bombers, long-ranged artilleries and also heavy and light tanks. Surpassing the technology of the other countries, they improved the guns and equipments of their troops.

Sea
The Empire's researchers focuses to develop submarines and not merely to heavy and long battleship. It is because it is sneaky and light for their navy. Another reason, they have less manpower to consume and use it.

Failed Attempts To Stop The War
1st moment: Accept UK's call for ceasefire before the defeat of the Republic. This was rejected by the General Staff.

2nd moment: Allow Tanya to take out General de Lugo so the Free Republic can't form and prevent the UK from entering the war. That would have ended in a clear Reich victory but the General Staff prevents her.

3rd moment: Don't allow Tanya to strike at Moscou and go with the original plan 315. Let the Union forces inside Reich territory and defeat them each time they invade. Eventually they will sue for peace. Tanya prevents this path to be taken.

4th moment: Accept Ildore's ceasefire deal before the defeat of Union army. The General Staff rejects this offer.

5th moment: Accept Ildore's ceasefire deal after the defeat of Union army. The civilian leaders of the Reich reject this offer.
