A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 323: The Council of Lords is under way. About the transfer of the principals and Takeo's test platoon.
Meetings are being held in the halls within the Royal Castle between the Royal Family (3 Princes and Pat) and members of the Council of Lords, civilian executives, the Chief of the Wang Du Defense Corps and the Second Knight Commander.
"Hmm... I see.
King Azpar nods at William's remarks.
All attendees are making a little noise...
"Olcott, what do you think?
"Ha!
Explore regional revitalization with 3 Count Territories facing the Demon Kingdom while considering your own city... wonderful idea indeed.
It is such a brilliant proposal that it is regrettable that we have not implemented it before.
However, as His Highness William pointed out, the current relocation budget is a source of concern that it will be swayed more by river water remediation work.
We're going to have a meeting with the Treasury Department and we're going to be able to provide financial assistance in the form of a loan dedicated to river construction, apart from relocation costs... works in the Royal Family, so if you can use your income from new farmland around the river in 10 or 15 years...
Treasury director, do you think you can do that?
"Ha!
I think it's possible.
Other civilian executives present at Orcott and Treasurer's remarks also nod.
"Right.
Um, as William suggested, let's build a dwelling in a town facing the river and expand it into a city.
And it would also be a good idea to aim for the ease of security by concentrating the factory group of the specialist bureau on the towns in the farmland.
Until now, the specialist office's factory has been set up in separate towns, so concentrating seems to have other benefits than security, and...
What do you think of the 2nd Knight Commander?
"Ha!
I know it makes sense to prevent the dispersion of soldiers by concentrating also from a security point of view...
Conversely, there is a risk of being targeted by large-scale bandits, etc., so we would like you to anticipate an increase in personnel for 2-4 platoons over the current planned number of soldiers.
"I see.
Will you be the target of the anti-Kings by concentrating...
How many soldiers at Cliff's can travel to William's?
"Well... I thought we were halfway to Neil's and William's...
Let's give more to William.
I think maybe 450 people are moveable.
Neil, are you okay?
"We're fine, aren't we?
Well, I'll hire a little more rookies to deal with it.
"Well, I'm sorry we're both here for William.
"What are you talking about? Father.
It's not a big deal for my brother's territory.
We need a firmer candidate than that... it's hard for William to move and have trouble with HR.
"Neil is right.
The hardest part about territorial transfers is human resources.
I can't let William have that hard time.
Both Cliff and Neil snort.
"Brother Cliff, Brother Neil, thank you.
William thanks his two brothers.
Speaker Clark and the senators looked at the sight in a flamboyant manner.
"Yeah, yeah, brothers. It's good to be close.
Easy to talk to.
So, William, what happened to the candidates?
"Yes. For once, I put a star on the head of the Knights and Soldiers, and then on the head of the General Inspectorate and the General and Proprietary Directorates.
We would also like to call five people for an interview this evening and, if we decide, decide on the other executives while we meet.
Ah... Father, Mr. Takeo is worried, isn't he?
"Hmm? What's bothering Takeo... is that what happened at the castle gate? Are you kidding me?
Give me some more time to investigate... "
King Azpar says with a slight drooling.
Civilians and the 2nd Knights are drooling.
"Oh... about you...
It's about the lab.
"Hmm? Takeo has decided to head the lab, though?
"Yeah, I told Mr. Takeo from Leila there that I insisted...
Hi. They're worried about the candidates for the exam platoon.
"Ho... why?
I don't mind if you choose... "
"No... he says Mr. Takeo will look for talented people himself about the research fellows at the institute, but since he is royal, he also seems to want to include personnel from the Wang Capital to evaluate weapons and tactics.
More than half of all the test platoons are martial arts officers in Wang Du... who seem to want to recruit veterans instead of newcomers if they can.
So, he said he was stupid that he didn't have connections...
"... I'm not Conne?
King Azpar laughs bitterly.
"Ha... I kind of get Sir Kitamizato's idea...
Your Majesty, I guess Sir Kitamizato doesn't consider His Majesty Conne in the first place.
His Highness William. "
"Yes."
"This is a list and resume of the possible martial arts officers I have given to His Highness William, but as soon as the candidature is complete with His Highness William, please give it to Sir Kitamizato to select the personnel you need.
says Orcott.
"Prime Minister Orcott... are you sure?
"I don't mind. Rather, as far as we are concerned, it would be easier for His Majesty to choose from the list before he tells Sir Kitamizato 'Anyone can choose'.
"... as far as I'm concerned, Takeo, you can choose whatever you want."
"It will be decided no.
It is easier to adjust the Wang capital by choosing from the martial arts officers who can accompany you.
"... I'm not convinced... well, if Orcott says so...
... hmm? Exam Platoon?... "
King Azpar said, "Hmm...?" He leans his neck and worries.
"?... Your Majesty, how have you been?
Orcott asks.
"No... Orcott, you had a requirement to set up an institute.
Do you have any material now?
"Yes, I have the stuff as it was yesterday.
May I?
"Oh, let me see some.
King Azpar receives a booklet from Orcott of the institute's establishment requirements and sees the contents.
"Orcott, Clark.
"" Ha!
"Yesterday's reconsideration was only to build a noble realm next to Neil and create an institute in it... right?
"Yes, it is being considered as a matter of urgency within the civil service as such.
"That's what the Council of Lords thought. We held and considered the Council of Lords separately after yesterday's meeting.
Orcott and Clark reply.
"Hmm, that doesn't change Takeo, does it?
"Yes, Sir Kitamizato's appointment of the Director of the Institute is definitive.
The budget is exactly what it says in its requirements, and the test platoon is starting to run one platoon.
At least now... "
"Hmm... 1 platoon...?
"Your Majesty? How was it?
"... is the Chief of Military Affairs here?
"Ha!"
One of the civilian executives takes a seat.
"Um, I'm sorry, but I'm going to ask you a few questions now.
Don't hesitate to answer.
"Ha!"
"The first.
The Demon King's army has invaded the country by breaking its ties to the Demon King's kingdom on Elvis territory and electing it.
Will the test platoon be able to enter the war?
"Ha!
It is believed that the director of the laboratory has the right to decide to enter the war in the events of the noble territory in which he is located.
"Uhm.
Okay, second.
Neighbor... The Demon King's Army invaded after his relationship with the Demon King's kingdom in Godwin territory was broken and he was elected.
Will the test platoon be able to enter the war?
"... I think we need His Majesty's judgment.
The Military Director answers with a difficult face.
"?... military commissioner, is it His Majesty's decision?
Faced with the demonic kingdom, the 3 Earls should be under His Highness William militarily.
If Count Godwin's territory is attacked, isn't it supposed that once a report goes to His Highness William, His Highness is supposed to order Counts Temple and Elvis to join the war?
Orcott asks the military commissioner in wonder.
"Chancellor Orcott... Under current founding requirements, the Royal Third Institute, headed by Sir Kitamizato, is positioned in the equivalent organization of the King's Capital Guard and is an immediate organization of His Majesty.
You have no authority to determine His Highness William's request to join the war.
"To say... depending on my judgment, I'm just looking at Count Elvis, neighboring nobles, and William without issuing permission to join the war, even if he's struggling.
What's worse, it's possible to abandon your comrades and get the King's Capital to assemble?
"... Yes, that will be the norm.
"Um... okay, sit down.
"Ha!"
The Military Director sits down.
"... Olcott, isn't this a bad idea?
"Yeah.
I thought that the Director would also have the right to decide on requests from His Royal Highness William and His Highness Neil to join the war.
"Oh... I just thought so too, so I saw... you almost missed it.
I think we should put the right to participate in the war and the right to participate in events other than the war under the command of the regional general, and the right to participate in the war, under the authority of the director of the institute of founding requirements.
"Yes.
Then we will review that as soon as possible.
Also, the test platoon is one platoon in the first few years, but why not let it expand to 2-3 platoons in the future while looking at the results and achievements and looking at the Wang Du budget.
"Right, maybe about 3 platoons is actually easy to get tactical on.
... um, so that we can discuss that, too.
"I'm in awe.
Orcott would like to thank you for your time.
