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

"Well, we talked about this little gun until we could, and when we realized it, we'd consider how to handle it for the moment.

"Um, right.

"So, let's get back to it, it took 550 years before we could do this little gun, right?

Because there is magic here, it is believed that we will spend a lot of money by the time of development.

"Right.

But it would be cheaper to increase the number of magician units than to bother to develop expensive weapons.

The weapon in that hand will have a hard budget.

"Yeah. But development information hasn't even come from neighboring countries.

And here I have a concern.

"What?

"There are people in the Katlanda Empire who have the same knowledge as me. Or did a genius show up...

The three kings of Azpur are surprised to open their mouths. The faces of the Elvis family snort.

"Ta... Mr. Takeo, how did you conclude that?

William asks.

"Anything is, but if you're going to develop things, you're bound to need to say trial operations in practice.

Right... is it a carriage, to take an example of something familiar?

"Yes."

"Could the carriage have been abruptly now?

Wasn't it for one at first?

"That's right. About 300 years ago now we have a mobile carriage for 4 people now.

Until then, we have heard that cargo predominated in terms of a few head pulls in relation to weight and convenience, and the movement of individuals was predominantly in terms of two head pulls.

It is in the literature that if you untie it more, it was initially a one-person carriage of horse pullers.

"The development of objects can be done with development - practice - improvement - practice - improvement - practice - and improvement.

But this weapon comes out into the world abruptly.

That's going to be the most proven place to call war. Isn't that weird?

Normally, you can't put into practice only with test shots.

"Sure, what Mr. Takeo said makes sense.

You won't be operating troops with weapons that don't have practical experience... "

William is "hmm" bothered.

"But there's a way you don't need this hands-on experience with test shots only.

"What's that?

"It's about knowing the results.

"Hmm? What do you mean?

"In other words, if you originally knew how to operate this small gun unit efficiently, it would be good if you only knew the performance of the small gun in a test shot.

"I see, it's a polar theory, but you could say so.

"Yep. So when deployed into practice, it can be quite, possibly packed.

"Um, you need to be careful in your battle with the Katlanda Empire.

King Azpar nods.

"And I let the Katlanda Empire Threat Theory unfold though.

"Hmm? You still got something?

His Majesty asks.

"We're going to think differently from here.

I mean, suppose it was developed by someone who knew how to run a unit of small arms.

I don't know why there's stuff in enemy countries...

"... that? If you say so..."

Leila said, "Ha?" and twist his head.

King Azpar and William are stopping the move.

"Yah... that's crazy for sure.

"Yeah. Mr. Alan,

If you think normally and understand properly how to operate like this, wouldn't you keep it a secret if you had a weapon that seemed like an overwhelming win in the first war?

"Do.

Don't attack all at once after you're ready.

"Right.

But he says he's coming to me in the enemy country within no exam operations or practical deployments.

"You don't know why.

William bothers.

"So, here's more. I made assumptions.

"Yes."

William nods.

"Isn't that person not at the heart of the country? and."

"Hmm?... what do you mean?

"Alan, if you're ready to attack, which would be easier if they didn't have the knowledge of small arms?

"It's easier not to.

"Right.

If you find that the other person has such a weapon, it is normal to consider an equivalent weapon or a way to deal with it.

In fact, I just figured out how to handle it, so I can no longer make an electric offense.

Abandoning to win overwhelmingly... isn't it a considerable loss as a nation?

... So I assumed that this developer is not in the political hub, and that the political cone is weak.

"I see.

... Nevertheless, if there were such a weapon out there in this country, our union of magicians would likely crush it first.

"Huh?"

Takeo marvels at King Azpar's words.

"What? Takeo."

"... do you crush it?

"Oh, I guess. Don't expect us to admit weapons that could devalue ourselves.

"Well... the magician interrupted... I see.

"Hmm? Mr. Takeo, because you figured something out?

William asks.

"No, I have always thought that small gun developers are the ones who don't move for the community they belong to and have no business at all...

I thought it was the other way around in Mr. Alan's words...

"Ho, don't be funny.

King Azpar asks with interest.

"This developer went on to develop and sell for the Katlanda Empire all at once.

But if a magician who sees a small gun feels threatened, starts putting pressure on developers as a union, sells them off to a crying market... then there's a reason to exist in another country.

"Um, sure, don't even think about it.

But... either way.

"Yeah. So the Katlanda Empire doesn't have eyes for weapons.

King Azpar and Takeo both laughed niggardly.
