Frost Month, November 24th, Tuesday.
The Duchy of Ross United and Lapland, both located in high latitudes, had already entered winter early. The formerly muddy roads had become solid under the force of frost. As he stepped onto the steel-like ground, Nikolai Ivanovich Yerofeyev, Intelligence Lieutenant Colonel, entered the office of the nation's highest security institution stationed at the Yamrizha Base. The room was warmed comfortably, providing relief to the Lieutenant Colonel, who had suffered the bitter outdoor winds. As the sentry closed the door, the nine conspirators inside began their meeting.
This conspiracy, intended to serve as the trigger for war, had been in preparation for over a month. Compared to the rough and chaotic operational plans, the war-inciting conspiracy was extraordinarily meticulous and intricate.
