Bernd Baltzar (Gunka no Baltzer) -19th Century Warfare manga

[reashot]

New chapter released by EGS

Turns out that sexy reporter was there since the beginning. She witnessed the coup in the past and since then she wants to know the truth of what happens so she became a reporter.

Balzer being the sneaky devil he is then decided to lure her into an abandoned train cart so he can "interrogate" her in private

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Balzer attempting to "force the truth" out of the poor woman.


Signs of things to come.

Spoiler for Spoiler:

It seems ol' Lieb here is a proponent of the Greater Germ... I mean Greater whatever Balzer people are called.

And I'm gonna put my favorite picture of the chapter right here:

Spoiler for Dat Face.:

Of course it is.

From some misterious reason, Helmut seemed rather disturbed by Balzer having interview alone with beutiful reporter... I wonder why

[cupumanager]

Now, It can be clearly seen that von Liebknecht are mere pawn in the plan for making a new Reich. Von Stauffenberg see the usefulness of The Putsch in the effect it caused to the masses, and make use von Liebknecht as an agent provocateur. I believe there is a Bismarckian-character somewhere in the Weissen Government which we're not introduced yet, pulling the strings of von Stauffenberg, von Liebknecht, and the Weissen Army, in the hope of unifying the German-speaking Nation under one Reich, with Weissen on top, rather than Erzreich.

I'm waiting when that character provoke whatever Baltzar's world equivalent of Napoleon III to declare war on Weissen, finally cementing the Alliance into one Reich.

It's worth noting that in the late 19th Century, Germany was far more economically liberal than Britain and France, in large part because Bismarck felt that the Left was powerful enough that he needed to throw them some meat to keep them satisfied.

Probably because Helmut herself is a cute girl who's quite smitten with Balzer although she won't admit it (yet)? Any beautiful reporter who spends some time alone with the major is a risk then. XD

Quite happy that Germany never became that Greater Germany with old Prussia region, Austria regions and the German states. With such a huge country, the EU could have never been made and so far we had no wars since WW2 on europe between former Eu countries thanks to their political and economical bounds.

In this story ofc something like the EU is just an insane thought. XD

Not a "Reich" per se, but more along the line of a Proletariat Dictatorship like government. Ala Soviet Union.

Chapter 30 came out.
Mostly it's about politics and some Balzar and Helmut shipping!
Oh, and the King is coming.

[Prongs]

world war 1. Period!

[J4n1]

For a series i am almost certain will not have any serious romance, that's some heavy duty shipping going on here.

Also, political intrigue, yay. \o/

[Breimoon]

Just started it today and could not stop, it is probably one of the best war manga around. Can't wait for next ch.

[Hata]

we have a thread on Baltzer?!

anyway, humming along waiting for the climax on the next book (read up to book 7), individual chapters on Bunch are hard to come by. nice to see this not so popular title getting noticed

[James Rye]

That shipping "hint" nearly felt like a confession on the dance floor. And man, being a diplomat can really be a "killer" job. With the kind showing up himself, I wonder how the discussion will fare now that there's another target bedies Baselland to "victimise".

I like how Baltzer combines war with politics and otherwise. Ofc I hope for more action soonish but with Weißen's King being there, an assination attempt is bound to happen. XD

I just want to show my appreciation to this awesome manga!!!

BTW, is it just me or it seems that Rudolf is working for the Weiss military staff? Like Itachi-type defection where he joined enemy but actually worked for the benefit of his own country?

[MrTerrorist]

^
It's unclear if Rudolf actions are for himself or part of Weissen PM manipulations to unite the various states under Weissen rule.

It's up to interpretations After all the Lieb gaiden starts with a question whether or not Lieb is a revolutionary or just a plain swindler.

Me thinking he's a lenin type character wishing to create a state without class distinction after he saw his father desperately trying to save his "noble status" at the cost of his life.

Also the new manga cover seems to show that Lieb will probably get the revolution he wants, but not sure which poor country are going to get it?

[MrTerrorist]

Spoiler for c31:

So the King of Weiben arrives to the meeting to personally intervene against the Weiben delegations wishes who try to prevent him from coming. Meanwhile Balzer learns of an assassination plot but get trap in process.

[MrTerrorist]

2nd chapter of the spin-off is out.

Spoiler for ch 2:

Bombs. Traitors within. And Socialism.

[MrTerrorist]

Ch 32 is out.

Spoiler for c32:

So it is confirmed Rudolf is an undercover agent.

[KrimzonStriker]

Spoiler for Spoiler 32:

The question if for who/what agenda specifically because if the Chief of Staff has gone rogue like this just to militarize Weiben then that's some pretty drastic action which has put his nation in a precarious position... anybody else getting the Otto von Bismark vibes from him now?
