A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

A small meeting room attached to the military bureau in the Imperial Castle.

"... why am I here?"

Takeo mumbles as he gets to his birthday seat at the conference room desk.

"Well, at last, the defense of the Willip Allies has been framed."

I was hoping you could take a look at it. "

The Director of Military Affairs says.

Civil servants from the Military Affairs Bureau quickly put maps and other materials in front of Takeshi.

...... after the village or town was captured, you started defending in the back town and fought back at a good time.

"Yes, that's right.

It was the suggestion of the director, wasn't it? "

"... are you going to do it?"

"I want to."

So... I scrutinized the contents of the previous meeting... I couldn't do a few things, so it needs to be fixed.

Um... this is the first place. "

The Director of Military Affairs points to the item.

"... is the proposed slope toward the occupied town rejected?"

Takeo reads the items.

“The cost is… so we have to prepare alternatives.”

"... the point is how to open the gate so easily."

This is it, isn't it? "

"That's right.

I'm thinking about setting up a gate next to the gate. ”

Haa... it seems like it's hard to get close to...

"There it is.

I'm thinking of installing it on a wall made of planks 500 meters from the gate. "

"That's... not next to the castle gate already."

Normally, it's the back door. ”

"Hahaha, that's right.

That's... in the diagram... I'm going to put it here.

Once inside, there will be a trail through the wall that will be opened from the inside ".

"... you can't do this, right?"

Takeshi said while looking at the picture.

Isn't it okay?

Everyone in the Bureau of Military Affairs is frustrated.

"The back door plan is fine... ah, please make sure that the back door can be opened from the outside."

Is that natural... Lord Kitamizato, maybe you can only open it from the outside?

The Director of Military Affairs will ask you.

“I didn't say that, but you should have a door that opens from the inside out, usually with a key.

However, in the unlikely event of an accident, if the structure can be removed from the outer frame (......), it will be locked on the inner frame (......) and can be removed (......), right? "

Takeshi says it.

"Is that... unplugging each frame?"

Are you sure you can do this? "

The Director of Military Affairs will ask you.

“You just have to double the triangle.

Inside, the frame should be mounted with a steel like an L-shaped angle so that the surface comes from the inside, and a set of doors should be installed from the outside, and then fastened with a screw or something from the three-way frame of the set door. "

Takeshi uses his hand to explain.

"Lord Kitamizato... I know somehow..."

In that case, if the door is closed, do you have to remove the screws that hold the outer and inner frames? "

The military bureau's civil servants are coming in.

... no... shouldn't I break it?

The L-shaped angle... you have a blackboard, can I use it? "

Takeo looks at the blackboard at the end of the meeting room.

"Yes! I'll bring it right away."

The clerk brings the blackboard.

"Hah... the L-shaped angle is like this... Imagine the steel.

If you show this side to the inside, the other side will face the outer wall.

So, I'm going to prepare a door smaller than the inside of this surface, but... put a square one in like this.

Just open the gap (......) between the outer frame and the triangular frame of the door (......) and break the screw by inserting a sword or a tool into this gap in case.

That way, you'll be able to unlock the door. ”

"" Ahh... I see. ""

Everyone nods.

"And whether it's a trail or something, facing the road, wouldn't the occupying army investigate this door?"

If you think it's just a door, if you still find out, something will be placed inside and sealed off.

We basically don't know what's going on inside since we've been occupied.

Then you must be able to keep the door secret even if it is occupied. ”

"Surely... is there a way to do this?"

The Director of Military Affairs says.

"I see... do you have a map of the town?"

Yes! This way!

Other civil servants spread the map out in front of Takeo.

"... oh, Director, you have a good property in a good position."

Takeshi makes a bad face and points to a point on the block map.

"... a low-income district..."

"The other two houses have land up to the castle walls.

Shall I make a rigid shed here that is perfectly attached to the walls?

Also, I'll ask the director of the Foreign Affairs Bureau and the director of the Personnel Bureau to let the soldiers recruited from the Willip Allies (......) live in (......) in advance (......). "

"... Lord Kitamizato, your face.

Well... the upper echelons of the Willip Union won't be staying in these low-income districts. ”

I guess, at least I have a normal private house to live in... right?

“It might be a good place to get confused.”

"Well... there may be people who like it... but that's lucky.

Besides, if it's a storage shed, why don't you put a platoon in it? "

"I want a little more to open the gate, but..."

Also, it's not a private house, but some kind of boring warehouse.

It's like a warehouse where people don't live, but it's also spacious. ”

"Also, when you use the back door to infiltrate, I think you need to distract yourself by attacking the castle gate flashily."

It sounds as if there is no result. "

"It would be good if it was an intermittent attack by a magician."

It looks like it might get darker near sunset. ”

The Director of Military Affairs says.

"Can you make it across the gate and on the other side?"

With a pocket watch, I think we can match the time of the attack. ”

"I see, that's... Let's consider it."

The military directors nodded.
