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

"Hah... war... as far as I'm concerned, I was just waiting for you at home and at the Royal Castle (here)."

I'm just anxious. ”

Alma says.

"That's right.

Grandpa can go, but we have to protect our absence and wait for the report. "

Leila says.

"Hmm... Takeo-san, I hear there's been a change in this conventional war..."

William says.

"It wasn't a change, it was just a situation involving the Demon Kingdom."

Would you like to hear it? "

"Yes, the central army of the demon kingdom, not the local nobility, will be dispatched to this conventional war."

However, it is a fiction, and the main order is after the end of the customary war.

It is said that the Central Army of the Demon Kingdom is designed to destroy the country of Demolo in the south.

This is the information that Takeo-san gathered, right? "

"Yes, I went to the demon kingdom and was told."

Takeo nods to William's words.

“My father knew I was being warned, intimidated, and proud.”

"Bragging?... I don't think I'm bragging, I think I showed you the facts.

I was taught the decisive difference between bad fantasies and nothing. "

Hmmm... there's something harsh about the Demon Kingdom, isn't there?

"Yes, in fact... compared to our strength, our strength is only enough to do something about our defenses.

I have to say that the strategy of holding it back by the nobles facing the demon kingdom... until now, the state was well established.

Frankly, we must assess that our strategy against the Demon Kingdom in the Azpar Kingdom was wrong. ”

... it's a harsh reality.

“Yes, unfortunately this is the reality.

The people of the capital might say that "until now it was somehow done", "the nobles against whom have failed to strengthen their armaments", but that is not the case, if you recognize it correctly, it is only "the demon kingdom is not willing to live".

Your Majesty William, have the right perception.

We must think of it as a nation, not as a nobleman on the demon kingdom's side. "

... yeah, that's right.

I understand.

Encourage Cliff to recognize that part of the handover to his brother as the most important thing. ”

"Yes, the Demon King now has an understanding of the Azpar Kingdom."

However, the next king does not necessarily have an understanding.

As soon as the customary war is over, the next king's information will be available, but it will not be easily known.

Think of the worst as not knowing. ”

"If you don't know Takeo, no one in the Azpar Kingdom will know at the moment."

So, Takeo-san, is there a way to create an unbeatable nation?

In the demon kingdom, you said, "I don't want to lose easily," right?

William asks.

"Well... there's only a plan to strengthen Seki."

It must be hard to think of an opponent as powerful as they are, but everyone will attack at once.

And we talk to Count Godwin about how we can narrow the road to Kansai and make it a local minority. ”

Narrowing the road?

"Yes, I will narrow the road before I reach the Seki castle gate, so that I can only advance in two rows."

The guardian side then builds a wall that cannot be climbed next to the road, so that they can attack from the top of the wall. ”

... Takeo-san, can you write that on the blackboard?

William says.

"Yeah... I'll write it down briefly.

Here is the Seki-no-Gate... You can usually go straight, but in wartime, I'll make a road that snakes like this so that you can attack from the top.

We will gradually reduce the number of people who come until the sword and arrows are exhausted, and we will be questioned about our health and patience. "

Takeshi writes in front of the blackboard.

"That's... the Egeznai way."

William says.

“The best way to think about how you can't lose is to reduce it little by little.

What I said in the Demon Kingdom was, "We can win, but there's a lot of casualties."

It is a strategy that makes you think that the number of casualties is not equal to the number of territories won.

If 10,000 people are prepared and 4,000 people are killed or injured, will that be a victory? I'm asking. "

Takeo says.

"I see... Takeo-san, what's the problem with this plan?"

“Construction Budget and Maintenance Budget.”

I see.

William nods.

"No matter what I think, the number of noble soldiers on the Demon Kingdom side doesn't mean they can invade the Demon Kingdom, and there are no personnel to deal with it even if they get the other territory in the first place."

Local backlash is also expected, and it's unlikely to be heard in the first place... I don't need that kind of land.

Therefore, the important thing on the Demon King's side is how to defend.

However, it turns out that it cannot be prevented by the assumptions made so far.

We must base our defensive plans on our newly discovered confrontational capabilities.

It's not just a matter for me, Count Elvis, and Count Godwin, it's a matter for all the nobles of the Demon Kingdom to think about and decide what to do as a nation. ”

Takeo says.

"Hah... I see.

I'll tell everyone that in the capital. [M]

But I'm almost there. [M]

I guess I had no choice but to transfer the territory and propose it to the Royal Castle as the consensus of the Demon Kingdom.

Please make the materials for that time. "

"Hahaha, I'm your direct report, I'll leave it to Count Godwin to make."

I will raise the same content in the form of a proposal from the laboratory, but it doesn't have to be together at all.

In the end, it would be fine for His Highness William to talk to the three counts. ”

It seems that Takeo-san would be quicker to put it together.

"It's a big deal that the lords on the scene decided not to be early or late."

I'm not a lord, and my boss is not.

I'll take a consultation, okay? But until then.

Please talk to the practitioners. "

Takeo says.

By the way, Takeo-san, what is the plan that Takeo-san reports?

Leila asks.

"Of course, I'm going to write a strong proposal for what I want to do outside of profitability."

That's your job, isn't it? ”

"Uh... I don't want to see that report."

William looked uncomfortable with the troubles that would come around.
