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

Episode 46: Description of how to respond to a gun and its evolutionary form.

The atmosphere in the rooms is heavier.

"And, well, I gently threatened Smith boy.

"Um, yeah.

"So, what was it?

You assumed that the asshole who developed this wasn't at the heart of the country.

"What an asshole..."

Alice laughs bitterly.

"You're an asshole. Because it's not working for the community that I belong to.

Besides, is the method I described a valid strategy only for the first time?

There will be a better way to sell, not even a business at all.

"Huh."

Alice makes the face that she doesn't know again.

"If they found out they had such a weapon, they would consider an equivalent weapon or a way to deal with it, right?

In fact, before the war, you spilled weapons into enemy countries and they are at my disposal.

"That's true.

"The way we respond is imperfect. If they do, we can't destroy them.

So this asshole is not in the political hub, and I guess the political cone is weak.

"Um, will it?

"Besides, it's easy when it comes to war, but there are ways to deal with it.

"Really!?

Smith is surprised.

"Yeah, it's easy.

Allow the bullet to consume.

"... yeah... is that all?

Smith is disappointed.

"Yes, it's not easy, but it's a very easy and easy way to understand.

1. Attack the enemy's small gun squad deep into the kingdom.

2. Let the small gun squad stockpile be used.

3. Thoroughly beat the convoy coming from the rear.

Now, you can't lose.

"Um, it's easy.

"Yeah, it must be the basics of tactics. However, whoever leads the country and the army will make a bitter decision.

... that's about all you can think of so far.

"Huh? Why is it a bitter decision?

Smith asks.

"Let them go deep to stretch their opponent's front...

I mean, how many villages and cities can you sacrifice by then?

And those who propose this are listening.

"... ah..."

Smith is depressed again.

"Besides, it's a unit that launches an attack on the rear convoy.

What you're protecting is a platoon with a small gun, right?

The top of the army has to tell anyone who participates in that attack to "come die".

That too... only the elite will be able to attack that.

They dive their eyes and expand backwards... "

Grandpa Elvis and Frederick nod.

"Well, that's more than the unbeatable way to fight in the first fight.

Besides, the more you slap backwards, the more war has to end.

"Really?

"Small gun bullets... this is an industrial product.

No matter how mass-produced you can be, there are limits.

If production doesn't keep up, we'll be heading towards ending the war, won't we?

"Um, I see.

"Yeah. So in me, for the time being, this country will not perish.

"For the time being?

Alice asks anxiously.

"Yep. For the time being... for years or decades to come.

Alice is horrified.

"It's just..."

"Do you still have one!?

Alice stares at me.

No... I think Takeo... even if he's stared at me.

"If this asshole has the same knowledge as me, I know the evolution of this gun.

That's scary.

"Are you that scared?

Grandpa Elvis asks.

"... yesterday we talked about the war in the world I was in when I explained the trench coat, remember?

"Mm-hmm. You got a terrible number of casualties. Oh, man.

"Do you think you can do it with this little gun?

and Takeo hears the small gun in his hand.

"Ah... I thought it was an impossible number... and I think that was a short period of time too..."

Alice says sadly.

"Shall we talk about the evolution of this gun?

What were the drawbacks other than replenishing this gun?

"... the firing interval... no way..."

"Yeah. You can have something that can be fired in a row.

A hundred years after the development of this small gun, an incredible 20 rounds per second appears.

"" "" Huh?

"Takeo... does it evolve so suddenly?

"It took you 100 years, didn't it?

"Um... so. What's going to happen?

"In the end, the only way to counter this weapon is to get close and break it, but the bullet just flies out of the shadows.

So think about how you get close, put a hole in the ground... dig a vertical hole and figure out how to get a little closer.

"It is.

"Digging holes in the flat... sanitation will suck.

If it rains, the water builds up and the drainage is irresistible. Rats and pests are all over there... "

"I see. So that's that trench coat.

Frederick nods.

"Yep. It's not just the cold that keeps your hips belt and cuffs closed, it also prevents pests, etc. from entering.

"... the more I hear, the more miserable the war in the world where Takeo was.

"Now, this longitudinal trench method of warfare, someone has thought about how we can get to enemy land more easily.

That's where I came up with... a self-propelled carriage with a full iron plate.

"Self-propelled? What is?

"We've created something that allows us to move with a mechanism that doesn't depend on the horse.

With its invention, its vehicle runs endlessly around the battlefield with several soldiers on board and bullets flying across it.

"The war changes.

"So, someone thought about how we could put that iron plate carriage to rest.

The person comes up with an idea to make the bullet bigger.

That's how increasing my defense started to make the bullet in the attack bigger as well.

"Uhm. Is that evolution..."

"Yes, in the world I was in, some things evaporated one city with one bullet, right?

"... awesome.

"The nations of the world where I was have become mutually vigilant by each possessing such weapons.

They have the power to destroy their opponents, but this one will be devastated.

So let's not go to war, that's the idea.

"I see.

"So you wonder how far this asshole will make it.
