A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1829 Reflection Meeting. 5 (Coming here reveals a difference in perception with subordinates.
Well then, you'll be the point of contact with the demon kingdom.
Smith says.
"It's hard for me to be told to use my children.
We need to put in place a system that can procure information with a certain degree of certainty.
"Master, isn't that the jurisdiction of the Diplomatic Service?
"Yes, but... it's still underdeveloped for the demon kingdom.
I will contact you when the lord or king changes, but nothing else.
It is said that no information can be obtained even when crossing the border with adventurers.
It is me and the Elvis who now have the most information on the demonic kingdom in the Kingdom of Azpal.
Takeo says.
"That doesn't mean... you're scorning me, does it?
Gina asks.
"Differences in priorities.
Someday, the Diplomatic Service will have to rely on our messengers to set up a contact network...
Now we need to focus on the Willip Union and the Catalan Empire.
War and negotiation, secret negotiations with the Catalan Empire on its premise.
I suddenly had a disturbing movement.
If one of the three sides is likely to settle down, it is natural to think that you are ahead.
Therefore, the demon kingdom must be able to maintain the status quo.
Certainly there are customary wars against demon kingdoms.
But neither country is willing to wage a serious territorial war.
This is the perception of both countries.
It is only natural that priorities should be low.
Takeo says.
"But, Takio-san, you have to maintain that status quo, but Takio-san is going to set it up with the other party, right?
"That's right.
Takeo nods.
"Are you okay?
"... maybe you can't win too much, but you can't lose too much.
Well, what I just said is what I want to do, but it's not something I have to do.
Depending on the situation on the battlefield, I don't feel like doing anything.
Smith leans his neck against Takeo's words.
"We've heard there's been a small battle on the battlefield in a few platoons.
There's no part of our test platoon, but there's a skirmish over there, right?
There will be some victory and defeat.
I'm not going to let them win, and I'm not going to let them win.
I'm just trying to figure out how to hit when we're losing.
I'll add the harassment I just mentioned.
"Master, is he going to harass you for winning or losing a small battle?
Wouldn't it be cowardly to target food supplies instead of fighting?
Gina says.
"Hmm... cowardly..."
Takeo thinks with his arms together.
"Gina, aren't you cowardly on the whole battlefield because it's the same in terms of total numbers?
Besides, demon kingdoms can have more soldiers than demon kingdoms have, so they're timid at the moment, right?
Smith says.
"... the total power is certainly different in the first place.
Gina thinks.
"... there's no cowardice in war.
You have to think about when you can fight when you've laid your team, and I think you need to be prepared for that.
And there is no point of view of equality in war.
The equipment is different and the food situation is different.
It's not like we have to make them all uniform.
It would be cowardly of the Willip Union to invade a region of 2,000 or 3,000 people.
There is no point in protesting against this.
Gina, I don't know what we did if we got close to the enemy so they wouldn't find us, and I don't suppose we'll be named after you?
"I know it's hard to find because I'm looking at combat clothes.
But if you close your eyes, you'll find out in the sun.
Besides, only the test platoon is wearing combat clothes, so I think it's natural to understand.
Gina answers.
"... that?Mr. Meyer, don't you fight at night?
Takeo leans his neck and asks Meyer.
"Yeah, not in the field.
Isn't it dangerous to be uncertain at your feet?
Meyer says.
"... I see.
What I was talking about earlier is night time for me.
"" "" Hmm? "
Everyone but Takeo is twisting his neck.
"Ah... this is...
Mr. Meyer, when you get back, it's a full meeting.
"Yes, now I realize that the Director's concept of war is fundamentally different from ours.
We need to have a good discussion.
Meyer nods.
"Master, are you okay?
"Hmm... I'd also like to tell Gina and Smith, but it's fine now.
Leave the war alone, both of you.
Hah... I see... I see... "
Takeo looked tired.
"Well... is it okay to think of only two pieces of information from Director, the Demon Kingdoms as rubbing together after each other?
Meyer says.
"... yes, there will be only two of them.
The customary war is not very relevant to the soldiers of the central army of the demon kingdom, and there will be no need to tell our country anything about the response to the slave trade discovered by the central army in this time.
If I hear that and the other side asks me, "Is there something there?", I can't say, "Because I am concerned."
Instead, they just didn't say, "Give back the kids and Gina."
Well, even if they told me, I wouldn't move in the Squadron Leader class.
"Well, that's right.
Meyer nods.
"There is no denunciation if you thank me for that.
Well... I'm glad this is about it.
Takeo was closing.
"Nh, takeo, eldermoon slime for example is ready.
Can I see you today?
The evening fog comes.
"Then why don't you have a sandwich for dinner and prepare it in each room?
After that, let's take a nap.
"Nh, I see... Takeo, the town is here.
In the evening, the fog grabbed the slime that came into the room and told Takeo.
"It's from Alice.
All right, sunset fog, where's the purple cloud?
"Nh, I'm on the roof now.
"Then call me.
Gina, please open the door on the terrace.
"I was afraid.
Gina went to pick up the purple clouds.
