Winter or cold, you have to fight and train more than just be an army.

And if you do those things, you consume your own supplies.

Having taken a trip to the Defense Base of the Devil's Capital, our Station Bureau was to examine the gear mobility rate in the extreme cold while turning supplies and then visit the training of the Fei Long Squad that was taking place there.

... though.

"Good morning, gentlemen! Begin flight combat training for the Special Flying Dragon Squadron of Air Force III, affiliated with the Demon City Defense Base!

"You guys are in luck! Anyway, you can ride the world's most powerful flying dragon and tell the world's best instructor squadron leader!

"Exactly! Now let's start flying dragon airline training, chanting!!

"Born for what!?

"Roger that. Yikes!!

"The training of the Flying Dragon Squad is unique..."

Sophia, who was next door, was also slightly attracting a smile.

On the other hand, the Flying Dragon Squad officer, who doesn't realize that's a bad word, says, "Hey, you bet you are!" He shook his neck wide and vertically with a satisfied smile on his face.

Like, well, it's important to get in the mood. Besides, it's this weather.

"You train for combat flight in this cold."

"Naturally. Rather than that, temperatures like this are not farts for a flying dragon ride. The temperature above is much lower than above ground. If you fly at combat speed, the wind is strong."

"I see, speaking of which, yes"

We're talking about temperatures dropping by 0.6 degrees with every 100 metres of increase, and another 1 degree drop in body temperature with a wind speed of 1 metre. Even if the temperature is 30 degrees above sea level in a zone of 0 meters above sea level, it will be 12 degrees above an altitude of 3000 meters. And when you ride a flying dragon that has nothing to do with wind protection, you get wind all by yourself and your body feels even lower.

I don't know how fast the fight is, but if it's 28 meters per second, the body temperature can be as negative as 16 degrees. If you were alive, you would be in danger of freezing to death.

Thereby, the Flying Dragon Squad must use its own protective technique to protect itself from the cold while providing oxygen, and even manipulate the Flying Dragon, naturally activating the attack technique when attacking.

I can't use witchcraft. It's a pretty high-difficulty technique, as I can tell.

That's why training, that's also why.

However, training during wartime is a very difficult thing to do anywhere in the past life, from East to West. There is a shortage of training supplies.

Priority is given to the production of combat materiel and equipment, and training supplies are lacking. As a result, the training time, quality, and overall proficiency are reduced. However, once the number of training materials produced has increased, the shortage of supplies will now be exposed on the front line.

If you stand over there, this one won't stand. It's an unscrupulous reality.

"It doesn't mean it's usually enough, but this cold weather these days isn't enough. From training aerial targets to feeding the flying dragon. Especially problematic is the severe shortage of demon stones for heating used in the official buildings inhabited by Feilongs and riders, which will bottom-up around the beginning of the year"

"Well... Fei Long is also a creature, so you need to take care of the cold"

"Yep. Can you focus on replenishing it because it is also good for poor quality demon stones? Fei Long has resistance to the cold, but not enough to withstand boulders with exhausted bodies in combat training and actual combat..."

Are you sure?

If something like this is happening in the Devil's Capital, the same thing is happening on the front line. The front line will be warmer than the Devil's Capital, but winter will come in time. We must increase the supply of demon stones.

But if you still can't do it, you'll end up with primitive means, that is, cutting forests and securing firewood.

When that happens, we will have to give priority to places where firewood cannot be harvested on land or where there is a shortage of manpower, and then destroy nature as a first resort. Environmental protection groups are about to graduate.

"In the meantime, Mr. Sophia, please prepare a map of the demon stone reserves of each base and front, and a compilation of the forest's distribution, and then manpower."

"I'm in awe. Still, there are limits. We may need a large number of demon stones after next year, and we need to review the system of production and supply of demon stones."

"Right...... In particular, we need to find out whether we can or cannot make an urgent increase in production and what measures are needed if we cannot do so. Can you schedule an inspection in a few days?

Copy that, sir.

Two days later.

On the outskirts of Devil's Capital, he took a trip to Mount San Chengjunga Red Devil Stone IV mining site. This mining site was chosen, of course, because of the right dates, but also because of the biggest reduction in mining volumes among the mining sites.

"According to the dossier, the mining performance of this IV mining site is down 15% year-on-year...... what happened?

"Well, that's..."

Miner's oak looks exactly like an example of an oak. Unlike Commander Urko of the Transport Corps, his back length is small and small. In response to Mr. Sophia's cold question, he is sweating sloppily even though it is the middle of winter. I don't know if it's because it's hot or cold sweat.

"Two years ago, there was about 200 tons of mining per month. But last year it was 180 tons a month and this year it is down to 150 tons. The reporting section of the dossier states that 'depletion of resources is considered to be the cause', but it would have been possible for mining sites I and II, which have been mining since ancient times. However, here in IV the mining site has only been around 10 years since the start of mining. I also asked the worker, but he said the workload and contents haven't changed in years. That's why I don't think it's going to dry up so quickly."

A relentless question is released by Mr Sofia. If I were a mine manager, I might have leaked a lot.

Though its mine manager did not leak, his gaze is urlow, his sweat is dazed, and his right hand, which he places on his desk, is rattled and trembling.

By the way, I don't know how much I mined two years ago. I want you to guess the reason is' cause it was before I was summoned '. I have an estimate or something......

"... Ha, ha, it's going to get easier to talk"

"Please be brief and theoretical."

"Hino."

Scary.

Mr. Sophia is scared.

"Actually... I'd like you to keep this a secret..."

Oh, this could fly the head of the mine. That's such a forethought.

Mr. Sophia is openly frowning and expressing disbelief. Maybe after this, she'll say, "I'll hear your word and then I'll decide whether to keep it a secret or not".

But then I don't see the truth. Stop Mr. Sophia by hand with his mouth about to open.

"... don't worry. Because we are only interested in the production of demon stones."

With that said, the oak mine manager gives a slightly relieved look.

If you were the cause of that decline in production, I would report it to the gendarmerie without question.

"Actually... you know, the previous mine manager... he did it right when he asked for the materials two years ago..."

"Uh..."

The conclusion was, after all, that it was still an old-fashioned Demon King army.

However, on the occasion of the replacement of the mine manager last year, it was decided to give the exact value of the mining volume.

At that time, however, the mining volume examined was 130 tons per month, and the figure still remains unchanged, he said.

If he had a monthly production of 200 tons but suddenly fell to 130 tons due to an alternation of mine chiefs, the mine chief, who considered himself inferior in strength and had an impact on personnel examinations…, gradually reduced the figures in the report on the grounds of depletion of resources.

That said, there was still an increase in production volume of about 20 tons per month.

"If you think there will be a year-round depletion of demon stones in the street, was this from the source..."

"It was about 20 tons of fraud a month, so it was still better..."

If you trust the material too much, then I'm responsible for it. If the Demon King's Army suddenly begins to produce documents without documentism taking root, then there will be counterfeiting.

"Mr. Miner. I'm sorry, but I'm going to report this to you."

"Become... no! I have a wife...!

"Don't worry. I'll take care of this so that you don't have any personal disadvantage."

For nominal purposes, the current mine director would have accused him of fraudulent reporting. And then we have to re-wash the reports from each mine to calculate the real production......

"You still have a long way to go"

"Right."

After Mount San Chengjunga as he sighed in alignment with Mr. Sofia.
