Nihonkoku Shoukan (WN)

Emperor Papardia-Imperial Audit Force Orient Fleet

Admiral Poctouard stared at the eastern sea. The sky is fine and over the sea, but the relatively dry breeze feels good.

About 100km west of Fen Kingdom

"!?"

You can see something on the horizon.

"I found something that looks like a ship! I'm approaching here."

"!? It's big ... I don't think it belongs to the kingdom of Fen ..."

An object like a hill is moving on the sea. ship? Although it seems to be common sense, it is a nonstandard size.

"All members, battle deployment !!"

A large gray ship like a castle is approaching rapidly.

Fast!

"!!!! No way, it surpasses our speed !?"

An unknown giant ship is approaching alongside our fleet. The number is only one ship.

"What do you want, Admiral?"

The life of Chios, Chief of the Third Foreign Affairs Bureau, is to instill fear in barbarians outside civilized territories through a punitive attack on the kingdom of Fen in front of military commanders.

You have been ordered to eliminate any army that could cause interference.

It was certain that the gray giant ship was not a ship of an ally of Papaldia, nor was it a civilian ship.

There is only one enemy, and no matter how large, this seems to be the dominant force in front of the 22 powerful fleets.

Apparently, it appears to be equipped with a huge artillery, but only one, all of which are more than 30-class battleships, mostly 50-class battleships, some of which are 80-class battleships There are ships.

There is no reason not to win.

Furthermore, looking at the enemy's possession of the artillery, it is possible that the enemy is receiving technical assistance from the civilized sphere, similar to the Royal Feng Navy.

However! It is. The cannons of the powers of each country fly 2 km, but the cannons of the civilized nations other than the powers can fly at most 1 km, and most of them do not explode with spherical ammunition, so our power and range are higher. .

The side receiving technical support does not exceed the original.

Just ... but supposedly ... Poctouard did not know of a country with such an unusually large cannon.

However, there was no doubt that he came from the kingdom of Fen, and Poctoard decided to attack to show the intention of the great power Parpaldia.

One giant ship that seems to be an enemy reduced the distance to 1.5km while running side by side.

The enemy's giant gun is facing forward.

"I'm firmly within range ... Ahoume ... I'm firing artillery!"

Papapapapapa ...

Smoke wraps around the fleet.

Dodo Dodo Dodo Dorn

The sound of the shooting sounds.

The Imperial Powers of Parpaldia and the Imperial Audit Force's 22 Oriental Fleets, who buried the Navy under the jurisdiction of the Royal Palace of Fen, as if twisting the hands of a baby, were the Aegis System ships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

He went to Myouko and exercised his power.

"Target ship firing! Cannonballs do not hit ..."

Check that the trajectory of the gun is calculated quickly and that the shell does not hit.

The salvo of the target fleet does not hit, and a water column rises nearby.

Miyoko made a temporary break out of the fleet's range.

"The enemy ship accelerates and leaves the range of the magic gun."

The enemy's huge ship flees from us at an incredible speed with tremendous acceleration in a big habit.

All salvos were missed, and the enemy was out of range while loading ammunition for the next shot.

"Go! Fast! What! That ship !?"

Poctoard screams at a ship that has a speed and size beyond his common sense.

Something shines from the enemy ship. You are trying to tell something.

However, the decision to attack the enemy has already been made.

Keep the course to the enemy ship with the attack posture.

····can not catch up with.

"I can't catch up with the enemy ship. The enemy is going further."

The enemy ship keeps a distance and starts parallel running about 3.5 km away.

"That's ridiculous, strict monitoring of the enemy, and take the course to the capital city of Fen and Amanoki! Anything can be done with one boat!"

It is frustrating to stick to one ship because you can't catch up with a huge ship, but you decide to ignore it.

The huge ship is desperately shining something. ···ignore.

"!?"

The giant gun installed in front of the enemy ship starts to move.

Don! ! !

Firing.

"Enemy fire !!!!"

The bullet hits the sea in front of the fleet and raises the water column greatly.

"What power! And the gun can reach this distance !?"

The admiral, captain, staff, and various other executives are shocked to see this scene.

A ship that is faster than you, a super-range gun, and you will be completely out of range.

However, the life of Chiao, the Third Foreign Affairs Bureau, is absolute.

Stopping operations without fighting by powers is equivalent to damaging the dignity of the Imperial Kingdom and rebelling the state.

Escape before the enemy is sentenced to the miserable clan party. I can't afford to give up my job.

There are still 22 ships here.

The fleet will take its course again toward Myouko.

The next moment, ---

Don! !

The gun of the enemy giant explodes.

Spearn! ! ! ! !

The lower part of the main mast of the battleship Paos, which was sailing in the front row of the fleet, blows off.

The mast makes a rattling sound, tilts, and falls down, involving other masts.

"Battleship Paos, mast breaks and cannot sail !!"

"What ?! That the mast broke after firing !? Well ... no way! ??"

Place the unsailable battleship Paos there, and other ships head for the enemy ship.

Don! ! !

An unpleasant sound resounds at sea.

This time, the mast of the battleship Gallias breaks and falls.

"That ... is that stupid !?"

The cannon is not that good. Because it is hard to hit, there are 100 class battleships. Nevertheless, enemy ships are aiming at the mast of the swaying ship. In addition, it is the next high-speed loading of an impossibly high speed.

There are waves in the sea. If you are shaking, the enemy ship is shaking. If you shoot while shaking, the cannon won't hit you too far.

A slight difference in angle of 1 degree will cause the impact point to shift greatly.

The enemy ship easily breaks the common sense.

Don! ! ! !

The mast of the battleship Mamizu breaks.

Don! ! !

The mast of the battleship Kumashiro breaks.

The attack will continue, and a real thing will happen in front of you. The inspection army of the powerful Emperor Papardia has no hands or feet. Desperate force differences, and only one opponent. Are you dreaming? If you notice, isn't it on the bed?

Just a nightmare.

About half the ship's mast is destroyed by the enemy's unrivaled fire, and the enemy moves away again.

"... I don't mean to sink myself ..."

Poctoual decides.

"... withdrawal! Towing and lifting an allied ship. This operation is ... failed!"

I can not afford to leave the drifting allied boat aside, and in this situation it is evident that all of us will be unable to navigate if we try to attack.

Due to the way the enemy attacked, it seemed that the purpose was not to kill me, so Poctard decided.

Livestock ... If there is a Tatsumo ...

If there was support over the Wyvern Road, it might have been different.

Thought so, Poctouar ordered his withdrawal.

This battle report ... Even if you submit a report, nobody will believe it.

The first fleet battle between Japan and the Emperor Papardia ended with Japan's victory.

There were no fatalities in Papardia's fleet, but no deaths. The only battle in the history of the world that resulted in a naval battle with no deaths.

The Kingdom of Fen Amanoki, the capital

The story goes back a little.

The Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Japan Coast Guard, who have cleared the Imperial Empire's Wyvern Road troops easily, have seen the activities of the military.

"What ...! That terrible magic boat !!!!"

"What a terrible power! It's crazy!"

"That struck down the mighty Wyvern Road !!!! What the hell! That boats!"

"It looks like an emerging nation called Japan ..."

"No way ... for those who draw the flow of the ancient demons !?"

Military officers from countries outside the civilization, watching the sea from the coast, were afraid of the giant gray ship with power far from their common sense, and began to think whether it could be drawn into an ally.

Power far beyond the Emperor Papardia ... Maybe that ship country has it.

If you came to the army of the kingdom of Fen, you have a friendly relationship with Fen.

A good relationship with the kingdom of Fen and a friendship with that ship nation could possibly prevent the Emperor Papaldia from subordinated.

Perhaps, such as sending the nation as a slave or offering a territory?

When the kingdom of Fen kicked Papardia's territorial lease, he thought that Fen would be burned out, but if he had a friendly relationship with the country of the ship, he would understand that Fen would be bullish it can.

After the battle called the Battle of Fen offshore, Japan will rapidly enter into diplomatic relations with many countries.

Emperor Papardia: Third Foreign Affairs Bureau

Director Chios heard the report and was furious enough to suspect that his brain vessels would be cut.

The event begins with the refusal of the Kingdom of Fen to offer the Imperial territory.

The "mercy" of a 498-year loan was rejected, despite both interests.

"The Fen Kingdom is licking the Empire."

Such opinions became mainstream within the Third Foreign Affairs Bureau.

In this world where there are many nations, there are five civilized spheres, 67 non-civilized nations, and although there are large and small nations, the powerful Emperor Papardia, who has a total of 72 nations, has been nicknamed as a barbaric nation outside the civilized sphere. Taking an attitude is not very acceptable.

It is not necessary for the wedges of fear in other countries to come off.

Under these circumstances, 22 Imperial Audit Force Oriental Fleets belonging to the Emperor's Third Foreign Affairs Bureau and two Wyvern Road units were dispatched.

The Wyvern Road unit attacks Amanoki, the capital of the Kingdom of Fen, instills fear in the Fenites and shows off their strength to non-civilized barbarians who participate in military festivals.

The plan was to burn down Fen's capital, Amanoki, with a ruthless attack by the fleet, and to show others what would happen if he opposed the Emperor Papardia.

But the results were disastrous.

The Wyvern Road troops headed for the air raid, and had no time to enter Mashin, and disappeared.

I don't know how they did it, but it was probably annihilated.

It was suspected that the Knights of the Wind Dragon of Gahara Shinto was participating in the war. However, wind dragons are certainly strong but few in number, and it is unlikely that they will be annihilated shortly after communicating.

The information that came in after that,

The Fen Kingdom Navy and the Oriental Fleet meet and crush the enemy Navy unilaterally! No damage to me.

this is good. It is a natural result for barbarians.

And the problem is the information entered next.

"Imperial Fleet Orient Fleet Defeat"

A severe earthquake ran at the Third Foreign Affairs Bureau.

In addition, the Admiral reported that he had gone crazy due to the fear of the naval battle, and that it was impossible to do so with just one ship.

According to Admiral's case,

○ Enemies with a gray super huge ship.

○ After the Imperial Army attacks, she leaves the range of the magic gun at a speed faster than our ship's speed.

The enemy giant fired an intimidating fire at a distance of 3.5 km into the sea in front of the fleet, and its guns surpassed our range and were far more powerful.

○ The enemy giant ship was fast and couldn't reach this range again.

Even in the reports so far, there are many strange points. The first is that the ship is bigger but faster than ours.

If the ship is large, the resistance of the water naturally increases. The Furujin tears used by the Emperor Papardia are clearly the best in the world, and even the Holy Myriad Empire cannot make such tears.

In Japan, there are mines where high-purity magic stones can be obtained, and refinement is top notch. In other words, the speed of a super huge ship cannot be faster than ours.

And a threatening shot at a distance of 3.5 km.

Even the strongest civilized powers can currently only build shells that fly 2 km. There is no way out of civilization, such as a range far beyond that.

Even if there is a hostile ship and a super-high-performance ship like a story exists, there is no point in launching a threat.

If you destroy them at once and release a few, fear will spread to the country.

If the fleet were raised by intimidating shooting, wouldn't it be possible to show off the power at all?

And the definitive report that the Admiral's head was determined to be broken,

○ Unidentified enemy ships fire 11 guns. They all hit, and all hit the mast part of the ship, reducing navigational capacity.

○ The enemy did not sink, but left the place.

... I was able to make such a silly report. The sea shakes. There are waves.

If the gun of the magic guide misses even once, the impact point will shift greatly. It is impossible even for the old demons, such as 100 guns and 100 guns. What's more, the Admiral is impressed with how imaginative heaps are, such as punching out only the mast.

And no, let's stop. These reports are completely excuses. There is no reason that barbarians outside civilization possess such super advanced weapons.

It is said that the soldiers below the Admiral are silent. It may be threatened by the Admiral, so a detailed investigation of what enemies and how many were in the future is awaiting.

It is true that there are enemies smeared in the Empire, and it is necessary to destroy playful enemies.

But if you don't know who the enemy is, you can't attack.

We have lost this time. You will hear the emperor. Next, the state-of-the-art home fleet will move, not the audit army. It is highly possible that some power is on the back.

The Third Foreign Affairs Bureau has begun collecting information to know the “enemy”.

Papardia Empire Third Foreign Affairs Bureau Contact

"I'm sorry, but I can't meet with the section manager today."

The staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan came for a meeting with the manager of the Foreign Affairs Bureau of Papaldia, who promised, but stopped again at the counter.

"Why? I didn't promise!"

"It's been a little complicated ... I'm sorry, but I'm not in a meeting with an emerging country outside of civilization. The schedule is undecided. Please contact me more than a month later."

The third foreign affairs bureau was busy due to Japan, so we were unable to meet any important persons on this day, and the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan returned home again on this day.

After the Fen Kingdom Army Festival, Japan entered into diplomatic relations with countries that did not belong to the civilized sphere.

Until now, we had to leave Japan to investigate and apply for diplomatic relations, but after the Battle of Fen Offshore, more and more countries came on retro ships one after another.

The Japan Coast Guard has become busy, but the number of countries that have signed diplomatic relations with Japan has increased to 22 countries, and commerce has commenced.

Perpaldia Empire 3rd Foreign Affairs Bureau

"What ?! I can't send slaves this year !?"

The Foreign Affairs Bureau staff yells at the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Topa (outside civilization).

"Don't give our people to your country as slaves."

The ambassador answers while sweating cold.

"Huh! Now, we will stop providing various types of technology to your country!"

The Empire was gradually giving outdated technology to countries outside the civilized sphere. The national power gradually increases, but the power of the surrounding nations also gradually increases, so the power balance does not change.

If the cessation of one country is suspended, there will be a difference in the speed of development with other nations.

(4) The Empire also used various technology grants as one of its diplomatic means.

If you don't ask me, I was thinking about stopping exporting tools and nails.

Now the country will not go completely ...

The ambassador of Topa Kingdom has a nasty laugh.

"Technology ... then we don't offer slaves. The Empire stops licensing various technologies to our country. How about this?"

It is a bullish attitude that can not be thought of from the Topa Kingdom so far.

The ambassador continues.

"We have diplomatic relations with that Japan."

The ambassador concluded with a laugh.

Foreign Affairs Bureau Canteen

Currently taking a break, the staff was chatting while eating.

"Don't you think barbarians are rebellious recently?"

"Sure, I feel that noticeably for the past month or so."

"Oh, I was terrified before and I had all the requirements, but yesterday I was bullied saying," We have diplomatic relations with that Japanese country! " When Takashi is like the Kingdom of Shios "

"!! I was told a similar thing by the Topa Kingdom ambassador. Even topa was saying that he didn't need any skills, because he had diplomatic relations with" Japan ", which was just mentioned. Do you know Japan? "

"Dunno"

"me too"

"I don't even know"

"Ah!!!"

The writer of the counter makes a voice that surprises me.

He took the gaze of everyone in the cafeteria and determined that various reports would be needed in the future.
