A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 1649: In the Wang capital at that time. 4 (Diplomatic Service and the purpose of Pat's city-wide inspection.
Conference room within the Foreign Office.
Several of them were in a meeting.
"... hmm..."
"This... sounds like it's going to be quick.
"Last time I taught Lord Kitamizato how to communicate information... this is tough.
Everyone makes a difficult face as they look at the material.
"The Katlanda Empire will have no problem.
The infiltration has a purpose, and the personnel are educated and doing well... is the problem in the United States of Wilip?
The price of trafficked slaves in the Drores country is on the rise... I don't know.
"Five years... no, do you mean four years from now?
"It would be normal to perceive it that way.
I know it doesn't make sense to increase it if there is nothing.
"I live so much as a slave.
I thought the cost of living for four years alone would be quite expensive, so I was expecting there to be price increases as soon as possible and starting next year... "
"Sounds like I'm not the only one feeling that it's too soon.
"This can be insane, from what we think of 'leaking invasion plans' to 'breaking invasion plans' and 'converting to defense plans' by 'mobilizing the Wilp Union more than expected'.
The United States of Willip is in trouble if they don't insult us.
"Right.
This plan in the first place was responsible for the rise (...) and the aim of reminding the public over there.
"A sharp price increase in a single commodity called slavery was the prospect of spilling over all the items as a result and squeezing the economy, but it's something that doesn't work.
"Absolutely.
Now... is it your job to rub what's going on with our plans?
Fortunately, I haven't circulated any rumors yet... but how can you insult us... "
"The point is, if only the kingdom of Azpur (we) could make you think of it as a hipster, right?
"Oh yeah.
So this time I tried to make you think, 'I arrogantly planned an invasion, but I saw how responsive I was, and I ran away,' but...
It's a war that they lead.
It would mean that there are countries that have put in place a policy of replenishing their personnel a little bit from now on.
"Shouldn't you stop being a bad petty worker and watch for personnel enhancements?
There are cases where the Treasury Department has been told by Lord Kitamizato to secure gold coins that have been shamed red, and it may be better in the form of focusing our efforts on gathering information within enemy countries without giving out weird information.
"It's also a hand...
I don't care if they bring me the main force for real.
If I don't make you think this one is a weak country at all, it's just going to cause more damage.
Besides, it is absolutely necessary to occupy and annexe the southern side of the Falke Nation in order to establish a position in favour of the Katlanda Empire opponent.
We cannot afford to let soldiers consume in vain.
"With that said, what the military bureau envisages was along the southern coast of the Falke State to the border with the Drores State.
It's too vast.
Between 30% and 40% of Falke countries.
Can we rule as having such a territory?
"We should let the military and economic bureaux consider whether we can govern.
We are the diplomatic service, and it is our job to organize information and disseminate information outside the country, and to discover and collect negotiating materials.
... I guess the key to making less sacrifices is still how low you can make us look with advance information.
I don't know what other stations will say if we don't make a rough flow by the time Lord Kitamizato gets here...
Take it back to each department for consideration.
"" You're in trouble.
The executives at the Foreign Office were disturbed.
------------------------
The 3rd Prince's office.
"... Hey, Layla.
"Yes, what is it? Sister Alma.
"Yeah... Cliff, I have some paperwork that says something about your brother-in-law and your brother-in-law coming.
"Why?"
Leila gives a shocked voice to Alma when she looks at the written grunt.
"... oh, that.
Pat, are you listening to anything?
"No, nothing.
William asks Pat, but his son doesn't seem to have been notified.
"Is it because Mr. Takeo is coming to King's Capital?
It's a meeting of three institutes, right?
Your brother-in-law is coming... is there something?
William, you know what?
"Well, it's a meeting.
Mr. Takeo will also come, but one way or the other, we will establish a final agreement for those who will move to the Third Prince family and fix it while watching our progress, which is the accepting party.
And then the specialist office came from Brother Cliff's place, so the preparation and operation stopped, so you said to confirm the alternative.
William replies, "The rest is a meeting with the United States of Wilip," he thinks.
"Don't you have to know Pat or us?
"This is a discussion in the form of the presence of the Lord of the King's Land at the meeting of the Civilians.
We'll get the report around when we're done, so you just have to know Alma and Leila by then.
Brother Cliff talks about Pat.
If I haven't told you anything, I won't say anything.
"Yeah, that would be nice.
"Pat's not having a hard time either.
Well, it's been a long time since my father's been here, and we should discuss the future.
"Okay.
Let me do that.
Pat nods.
"... Pat, are you on your list?
You should report that to your brother-in-law, too, Cliff.
"Ugh... it's...
It's not that easy to get a list.
"It's not good for anybody, but they're gonna look out for you, right?
Well, maybe that's good, too.
Alma says.
"And Pat marries an unintended woman, there is no love because she is the chosen one of her parents, but she spends time as a prince and princess, but at first sight she falls in love with a certain woman when Pat flirts out for a walk around the city, and she enters the side room as a compassionate companion.
Love is offered only to the side chambers while remaining in a cold relationship with the main room, to the relationship between the main room and the mud in the side chamber.
Kids can only do it in the side room, and the side room raises the child while peeking at the complexion of the main room, but the jealousy of the main room is on the child.
Well... isn't this how it unfolds?
Layla makes the Pat story snappy.
"That's an unfortunate story.
"That can't be happening..."
Alma snorts. Pat snorts.
"Ha... well, Leila's story is only a story, but it's not unusual.
Sometimes this happens if you marry without feeling because it's an introduction from your parents.
So I guess it's an introduction from my parents, but the admonition is that I have to love them properly, whether I look for them or not.
I'm going all over the city right now to increase my chances of seeing a woman Pat might want to marry.
Ideally, we could do a list if we could, but... it's important that we increase the number of encounters.
So it doesn't make sense to walk around the same place every day, does it?
"... I'll walk a lot in the future.
"Oh, that would increase the number of people we could meet.
And you should think that even if you marry without feelings, you'll only end up broke.
Pat unfortunately comes with power.
Those who have become queens, their associates, will drown in power more than Pat thinks.
It is also an obsession if a child can.
Well, I guess Brother Cliff will confirm behind that... that it's important for Pat to meet a lot of women in the meantime... so, good luck tomorrow and come all over the city.
"Ha... I get it.
Pat made me look tired and answered.
