Nihonkoku Shoukan (WN)
The night before the counterattack
A room in a hotel located in the capital of Japan, Tokyo
Mu's technical officer Mylas and tactical officer Rassan were discussing.
Riding on an Akizuki-class destroyer, mission as a spectator, and measuring Japan's power had an unprecedented impact on them.
The first thing that surprised me was the fire rate of the cannon and its accuracy.
The ship moves, the sea has waves, and the opponent moves.
Meanwhile, as far as we can see, Japanese ships have been hitting a terrible hit rate of 100%.
When I read a book I bought in Japan, this was a technique to stabilize the gun, calculate the relative speed with the opponent called FCS instantaneously, calculate the flight speed of the shell, head toward the enemy's future position, Seems to be shooting.
It is unbelievable that this system can also shoot down cannons that fly with the cannon.
And the book describes weapons of threat that could not be seen this time.
Ships that can dive into the sea, called submarines, weapons with a range of more than 100km, called guided missiles, and weapons, called torpedoes, that go underwater.
I never thought about such a weapon.
None of them can be created by combining the full power of Mu's technological capabilities at the present time, and the overwhelming power of Japan that Japan has seen this time is still only a very small part of Japan's technology. It is noticed that there is no advantage at all.
They both threaten the underlying power of Japan and are relieved that they have become friendly nations.
If we can import this kind of power and technology to ourselves, we will be able to deal with the Gra Barcass Empire.
"Mylas, how do you see Japan?"
"Somehow, technology is so advanced that we can't really understand it.
In particular, I do not understand well the principles of integrated circuits called LSI and high-performance computing devices called computers. "
"Yes, I'm surprised that the tactics are fundamentally different.
To be clear, our fleet can be kicked off by the Emperor Papardia, but when it comes to Japan, it will follow exactly the same fate as this one.
It seems that Japan can only use more expensive weapons and spend more money. "
"huh"
The two sigh.
The air flows as you wish.
"Rassan, but there is a harvest."
"What?"
"We can see the concept of weapons and the direction to go.
Weapons called guided missiles I never thought of, probably much slower than those of Japan, but if it were rudimentary, it could be made in Japan.
By diplomacy with Japan, Japan will be able to surpass the Holy Military Empire in the long run. "
"Well, how about the Gra Barcas empire?"
"I don't know. For that country, there is too little information and we have the same scientific civilization.
At present, the technical gap with Mu has been open for more than 50 years.
Your opponents will evolve too ... The national power is unknown, and we do not know if they can be exceeded. "
"Really……."
The observations of Mu's spectators continue.

Japan Capital Tokyo
Yanagida of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was asking the Embassy of Mu.
"I'm Yuhi, Ambassador Mu. What kind of business are you going to do today?"
The ambassador speaks with a slightly nervous face.
You can see some dismay from the expression.
"Actually, there is a request from the Japanese government for your country."
Yuji's face gets even more nervous.
"what?"
"Actually ..."
Yanagida takes out an A3 size photo from the bag.
"I've heard that Mu is building diplomatic airports around the world."
Yanagida points to one point in the photo.
"I want to know more about the permit to use this airport in the Kingdom of Altaras and the design details of how much weight this airport can withstand."
"What !!!! This ...! What an elaborate! Aerial photography?"
"No, this is a picture taken by a satellite launched by our country in outer space."
"!!!! No, I read in your country's book, and I had the prior knowledge, but if you spread the picture in front of yourself, you will realize your technology."
Yuji leaves for a breath.
The face of tension has already been solved.
"Sure, the airport was built by our country. We don't know the exact specifications right away, so we'll contact the home country and let us know as soon as we know.
The Kingdom of Altaras should have been built quite strongly because of the large-scale magic stone mine and the possibility of developing and transporting large transport aircraft in the future.
However, when Japan constructs an airfield, it will be constructed after using the land and obtaining permission to construct the airfield, but the ownership belongs to the country where the airport is located.
In other words, the Kingdom of Altaras is the property of the Kingdom of Altaras.
At present, it is owned by the Emperor Papardia, because it is controlled by the Emperor Papardia.
When the Empire attacks the Kingdom of Altaras, Mu also receives advance notice, and there are currently no Mu personnel within the Kingdom of Altaras.
In other words, if you want to use the airfield, you need to get permission from the country you currently own, not Mu.
If the country in which the ownership is good is good, Mu will not talk about using the airport in Japan.
The Kingdom of Altaras is currently unusable due to the rule of the Imperial Kingdom, so you may use it as a base or modify it. "
Yanagida's face becomes bright.
"Thank you. That word is enough !!!!"
"One more point has been raised within the government, but I would like to inform you that the mitigation of the Technology Leakage Prevention Law for the country of Mu is under discussion."
"Well, what a !!! I hope it will be a good direction."
The talk has ended.

"Press conference will be held soon!"
For the first time in 70 years since the war, the war against other countries that has entered undesiredly, and all opponents are trying to erase the Japanese people themselves.
In a situation that can be described as an emergency in this nation, the Prime Minister holds an emergency press conference.
(When I was Prime Minister, I led Japan to war again.
I couldn't avoid it.
I might leave a name in history as a stupid prime minister. )
His steps toward the press conference are heavy.
The Prime Minister appears at the press conference.
The reporters flash and the Prime Minister walks toward the stage.
The Prime Minister raises his hand, and the turbulent air calms down.
The Prime Minister of Japan starts speaking slowly.
"Everyone, our diplomatic negotiations are empty. As you know, the Emperor Papardia has declared war on Japan and Japan.
We have negotiated again and again and have worked hard to avoid war.
However, the result was the worst result of war.
Even after the war, the Japanese government will continue to seek peace.
By the way, the Emperor Papardia has reported that this time it will massacre and cleanse all Japanese people.
I declare this clearly before you.
The Japanese government will use all of its power to protect the Japanese people! ! !
definitely! ! !
Absolutely protect! ! !
The Government of Japan has decided to exercise the right of individual defense in response to the declaration of war by the Emperor Papardia.
This right of self-defense includes enemies, bases, factories, etc. that naturally invade Japan.
The Japanese government will always protect you from the ethnic cleansing of the Emperor Papardia! ! ! "
Various questions were asked and the Prime Minister's press conference ended.

Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs
-Princess Lumies of the Kingdom of Altaras was visiting the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan.
A greeting is given and the meeting begins.
"I'm Yanagida from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
I will tell you directly.
It is a security treaty with the Kingdom of Altaras, but in the current constitution and its interpretation, it must be said that it is difficult. "
The face of Princess Lumiès becomes rigid.
Yanagita continues talking.
"So, as an alternative, I would like to crush Papaldia's Imperial Army base in the Kingdom of Altaras, which could invade our country.
Japan will crush most of the Imperial Army, so I would like to use Mu's airfield in the Kingdom as a base after the Kingdom of Altaras becomes independent.
Of course, additional work will be done here.
If we can do that, even the empire of Imperial Papaldia will be included in our attack range. "
If the airport of the Kingdom of Altaras could be used, including the airstrikes from airfields in Japan and the Principality of Qauteine, the industrial city of Papaldia, large military facilities, and the imperial capital would be attacked.
Japan will proceed from a military perspective.
"If Japan can become independent again, I will permit Japan to use domestic airports.
You can build a base. "
The talks were concluded early, and it was decided to attack the Imperial Army of Papaldia, which was stationed in the Kingdom of Altaras.

The Holy Military Empire Runepolis
The information bureau has been as busy as ever.
The Holy Military Empire understands the importance of “information” and is focusing on information analysis with the idea that those who control information control the world.
But there were two things that I couldn't understand.
First, the Gura Barkas Empire, which recently emerged on the western seas, suddenly appeared on the stage of history.
There are barriers that cannot be exceeded by nations belonging to civilized nations and nations outside the civilized sphere.
Therefore, civilized sphere foreigners often try to enter the civilized sphere, but all civilized nations look down on civilized spheres of foreign homes, and because the national power of countries outside the civilized sphere does not exceed the civilized sphere by any chance. There are also considerable restrictions on technology outflows.
And with that power difference, the civilized countries suck up various things from civilized foreign houses.
There is a vested interest in civilization power using technology differences.
Historically, there have been many events in which civilized foreign nations collaborate and enter the civilized sphere. But it has never been successful.
When the civilization of the Gura Barkas Empire took control of neighboring countries and barbarians outside the civilization in no time and negotiated first against the second civilization, the pulse kingdom of the second civilization became a power He told Reifor to be the contact.
That's the right decision from Rayleigh's personality.
However, when they went to negotiate in Reyfol, civilized foreigners were first told to pass through the Kingdom of Paganda and were turned away at the counter.
And they came to the pagandan kingdom, the protected nation of the powerful Leifols of the second civilization.
At that time, it was the royal family of Paganda who negotiated.
The kingdom of Paganda apparently demanded an enormous bribe, abusing non-civilized barbarians outside the civilized territory, for the Empire of Gra Barcas to go directly to Reyfor without negotiating.
There is information that the negotiations of the Gra Barcas were also royal, and when negotiating with Paganda,
(What's the point of my empire being a poor civilization like you and being out of hand against small countries !!)
It was said that it was extremely high.
The negotiating Paganda's royal family ruled that the barbarians outside the civilized territories were rude to the patriarchal royal family of Paganda, the protectorate of Reyfol in the civilized sphere, and were executed in the name of profane. The Empire of Gra-Barcas declares war on the Second Civilization, assaults the kingdom of Paganda, and triumphs over the war with the powerful Leifol.
The director of information, Arneus, speaks to his subordinate.
"Is there any new information about the Gura Barkas Empire since then?"
"At present, the position of the Gura Barkas empire is not even known.
And, as a result of analyzing from the battle with Reyfol, it seems that the performance of the 8th empire battleship grade atlas star is equal to or better than the state-of-the-art battleship of Japan.
It is completely incredible, but the analysis results are like that. "
The sudden emergence of a powerful power hurt the chief of intelligence.
And the second of the mysterious events, the kingdom of Topa, located northeast of the third civilized sphere of the Philades, where the mythical entity Nosgura in the third civilized sphere revived.
At that time, a country outside the civilized sphere called Japan defeated the Demon King Nosgura with a platoon.
It has been analyzed that the weapons used by Japan when defeating the Demon King, called tanks, do not work due to the lack of power, even with our magician, due to the power output.
It seems possible to make it smaller ...
And unbelievably, weapons such as anti-aircraft guided munitions were used.
The guided magic light ammunition is still under development for anti-ships, and a dream weapon for anti-aircraft.
It is a dream to dream of miniaturization until it can be carried around.
If this report is true, Japan will surpass the technology of the Holy Military Empire.
As expected, this report was ridiculous, and there were few people who believed it in the information service.
However, the Emperor Papardia recently invaded the kingdom of Fen, defeating the Allied Army of Japan and the Fen kingdom in a battle that was almost annihilated and defeated information on Japan's military technology as a lie. I couldn't help.
"Gather more information about Japan !!"
Arneus, Director of the Holy Myricial Imperial Intelligence, instructed his men to investigate Japan.

Japan Ministry of Defense
"It may surprisingly easily fall off ..."
The person in charge analyzes while looking at the satellite image of the Kingdom of Altaras.
Currently, the Imperial Army of Papaldia, within the Kingdom of Altaras, is constructing a base on a runway for the Wyvern Road, a short distance from the capital, Le Bries.
That is one point.
The second point is that more than 20 battleships are anchored in the port of the capital Le Bries.
The third point is something like a base about 40km north of the capital.
The Emperor Papardia's army within the Kingdom of Altaras is concentrated in these three places, and fortunately, there are no bases in densely populated areas.
All three places are also within reach of the cannons, so if the main power of the Imperial Kingdom was destroyed by this shooting, would it be possible for the kingdom of Altaras to regain the kingdom itself?
"Hmm, isn't that sweet?"
Preparations for the war were steadily progressing.
