A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 321: What is the purpose of the town in terms of the military aspects of those facing the river?
"Do you think Alma is a good town in farmland?
William says.
"Yeah, 'cause obviously the town in the farmland benefits us better.
"Hmm... then Mr. Takeo, now I'll have you explain it at a different angle.
As a point of view on the part of the Elvis family or the 3 Earl Territories, why would you push a river town?
William asks.
"... if you know what I mean, why doesn't Mr. William explain it?
"Ha, I'm also the one who wants you to explain to me from Takeo.
says William with a bitter smile.
"Well... even what you know for yourself can reinforce your certainty by explaining...
Ha... okay.
Logistics hubs are not the only reason I push a town facing the river.
It is true that better logistics will reduce travel time, so economic development is expected.
Sometimes it further reduces the cost of moving soldiers and the fatigue of soldiers, but I thought the relationship between the three future Earls and Mr. William would have a significant impact.
"Three counts?
"Yes.
Um... Alice, the war against the demonic kingdom that appears in the fairy tale of the lady was supposed to be relative with three counts assembled.
Who was the general at that time?
"Count Godwin was appointed to a special position as Count of the Frontier and made General.
Leila says.
"Really?
Given that Mr. William will be transferred behind the next three Earls, the General will be Mr. William.
"Right.
William nods.
"Until now, three Earls had considered and implemented a strategy to the Demon King in unison, and now we will consider a strategy based on Mr. William's thoughts.
"Hmm...?
But in the end, will William be the carrier to judge the Count of Three?
What's the difference?
"Now it would have been nice if the 3 Earls had just thought about their strategies against the Demon Kingdoms and communicated, 'This is how our territory works' or 'I want you to cooperate because I want you to do this,' but from now on I have to base my move on Mr. William's thoughts.
I believe the way we respond, especially in emergencies, will change.
They say, for example, that the relationship with the demonic kingdom is on Elvis and Godwin territory, but if there is any anomaly in Elvis territory, the Elvis army will immediately assemble in Guan.
So, Mr. Elvis will also send information to the next Count Godwin, but he won't be able to call for direct backup.
"Huh? Can't you?
Alice is surprised.
"Organizationally, suddenly we won't be able to call on the like-minded counts next door for support?
You will have to ask for backup from Count Godwin and Count Temple via Mr. William, the General.
And the report to the King's Capital, which involves the demon kingdom, should also be a carriage for Mr. William to report to the King's Capital once each of them has done so.
"Huh? Really?
Can't you just take it personally?
Alma asks.
"What are you the general for?
If it's economical, you'll be interacting with each count in the King's Capital, but in military terms, three counts should be positioned under Mr. William.
It is the men who draw the will of the General to move.
Besides, each Earl will respond to the crisis of his own territory, but in the future he will also incur an obligation to keep Mr. William safe.
In the extreme, Mr. William's life can sometimes be given higher priority than His Majesty's.
As soon as there had been an incident in the King's Capital, the three Count armies would have assembled in the King's Capital, but from now on, they would have assembled at Mr. William's place and carried him with them to the King's Capital while protecting Mr. William.
"Right.
William nods.
"The chain of command changes as a result, so it takes longer than ever to cope with the invasion of the demonic kingdom and the anomalies in the king's capital.
So what we need most is how much less travel time, how much less time we can communicate our intentions.
I thought it would be more convenient for some of me to transport large numbers of soldiers using waterways than by land.
And even though the transmission of will could be done quickly.
So I'm going to have a hard time with Mr. William and the others, but I'm going to ask them to move to the town facing the river and implement the development of the dock as a top priority.
And if Mr. William and the others fix the docks, the three counts will embark on the development of their own docks.
That would put an end to the maintenance of the river, including its water treatment, in three counts and Mr. William over a few years.
"I see.
Alma nods.
"If you say it additionally, it's about the command of the Royal Institute's test platoon.
"Yes."
Alma replies.
"The command of the test platoon is fundamental, is it to the director of the laboratory?
"I guess. You have full command and operational responsibility.
"Really?
... You want to put the right of judgment to participate in the events of the aristocratic territories in which you are enrolled and the right of entry of the enrolled lords under the command of the surrounding general and their judgment in the operating conditions of the institute when they are affected by the events in the aristocratic territories or domestically facing another country.
"Why not?
"No... I thought the Royal Institute was under His Majesty's authority and the royal men of the King's Capital were the commanders.
Doing so creates a mean story in the event of a change in the province, an obligation to abandon your territory at the discretion of the King's capital but to assemble in the King's capital.
"Ah... right. Then there's no point in being in the region.
"Yes."
"... I understand what Mr. Takeo thinks.
We'll decide if it's a town in the farmland ahead or a town facing the river.
Plus, I'll talk to your father about the test platoon order system.
"Yes, thank you.
Takeo thanks William.
"Then the morning will be good to this extent.
I'll look at the crowd during the evening martial, civilian interview and make up my mind, but if it doesn't work, I'll ask Takeo and the others for their opinion again tomorrow.
What will the Takeos do this afternoon?
William asks.
"Right...
I don't know when I'll be booking a meeting with the College of Magicians and the boarding house I asked Mr. Leila to do.
If you can make an appointment, I'd like to visit a shop in Wang Chengchi.
"Hmm? Leila told me yesterday that the Elvis Tailors haven't come yet?
"Oh, not that way, is it?
I'd like to see a dryer or something.
"I see, are you a dryer... sounds like Mr. Takeo.
Leila, please accompany me.
Alice will be there too, so if Mr. Takeo and Alice are around, Leila can go outside too.
If you have ingredients or things that look interesting, you can buy them at our expense.
"Okay, William.
Leila nods.
"William, what about me?
Alma asks.
"Say hello to your sister improvement opponent.
"Okay.
Alma nods.
"Now relax in your room until Mr. Takeo, Alice and Leila pick you up.
"" Okay.
Takeo and the others took their seats and said, "Excuse me," after the office.
