Nihonkoku Shoukan (WN)

Second civilization area: Mu continent east sea

The sky clears and the sea gently undulates.

One beautiful line ran from the sky to the beautiful sea.

From the wheelhouse of a large Japanese car carrier Ikai Cruiser, Yamaguchi, the captain, looked at the sea.

The horizon is far ahead, and the ocean feels wider than the earth.

"I'm coming to Mu country soon."

The Ikai Cruiser sails about 300 km east of the Mu continent.

Fully loaded with cars and motorcycles made in Japan, aiming for Mu country.

"Because it smells lately ... I hope nothing happens ... but ...?"

One small grain is visible in the sky.

"Is it an aircraft from the country of Mu?"

The plane, which looked like, gradually grew larger and passed over the ship.

It looks like a prehistoric, terribly retro airplane to the Japanese.

"What is it?"

"Zero !? No, is it a float? What is it?"

The sailors were talking casually.

The captain who saw the plane ... sweat blew out from his entire body.

"It's not Mu's plane !!

Captain Yamaguchi is not worried.

Not to mention that there are no SDF units nearby, and even the mainland of Mu is 300 km away from here.

In addition, according to what I've heard, the army of the Mu country cannot beat the Empire of Gra Barcas.

The car carrier emitted a rescue signal and broadcast radio.

Gra Barcas Empire Affiliated to the 2nd submarine fleet 24th ship E-400

Prototype surface fighter with improved foldable wings based on an Antares-type ship-based fighter and a water float attached.

In the hangar of the E-400, a large submarine of the Gura Barkas, it spread its wings above the water and flew off for patrol.

If a few Japanese people are familiar with the old military, it will look like a Type 2 surface fighter. (Type 2 surface fighter does not have a mechanism to fold wings)

"Cook cook ... I found it!"

Astor, a pilot, licks his tongue.

He remembers the old days.

I was proud of the day I passed the pilot test, aiming for the Imperial Squadron.

I'm sure I will be assigned to the Aircraft Carrier Task Force, and will be a heavenly warrior who runs around the sky in different worlds endlessly to conquer the world of the empire. that's what I thought.

However, he was assigned a dull prototype surface fighter compared to the Antares type, and was too dull to jump out of the submarine and search for himself.

He was hungry for stress and his ability to defeat enemies.

There is no mistake in a ship raising a red circle flag on a white background, a ship of the enemy country Japan.

Quickly and accurately report the current location to the mother ship and transmit to the attack.

In the first battle, I feel excited as if the blood was boiling.

"... It's big ..."

The enemy merchant ships were considerably larger than the imperial merchant ships and seemed more advanced.

Usually, some people hate attacking merchant ships. However, he was excited about the attack.

Boone! !

A high pitched sound echoes in the vicinity.

For those on the boat, the sound will sound even higher due to the Doppler effect.

Turn off the wind and the plane will descend rapidly.

An aircraft heading for the sea at a steep angle. He dropped two 60㎏ bombs on the fuselage.

The result of repeated practice appeared steadily, and two bombs were sucked straight into the merchant ship.

Two bombs dropped from the prototype surface fighter break through the roof, release its power inside, blow off the cars that were full loaded, and ignite the gasoline in the gas tank.

The fire that once arrived spread fires one after another, and the ship was enveloped in a large amount of smoke in a short period of time.

Car carrier Inboard

"Is it up to now! Evacuation of all members !!"

Because each car had a certain amount of gasoline, the fire started quickly and the ship was emitting smoke.

Of course, there are no weapons to oppose, and slow merchant ships have no way to escape from airplanes.

Mu seems to have taken off the fighter, but it will never be in time.

"Shit! Why attack non-combatants !!!! Cowardly !!!!"

There are sailors who curse flying enemies.

"Get ready for the rescue boat without saying anything!"

The seafarer who was cursing flies.

The captain was suddenly caught in a bad feeling.

The rescue boat will not attack ...

This is not the earth. A different world swirling in the war ...

Emperor Papardia killed Japanese tourists mercilessly in the Kingdom of Fen.

It is not a place where our common sense can be applied. In addition, he has been declared a war by the Empire of Gra Barcas.

Yes, it's wartime ...

I heard this was safe, not within the territory of the Gra Barcas.

Yes, I heard that it was a government-designated area that was safer than the SDF's non-combat area, and that there were no problems.

But how about! ? Now we have a clear attack, and unless we escape in a rescue boat, we die in smoke.

I didn't have time to think.

They try to escape using multiple rescue boards.

Astor who saw the ship spreading in a short time.

"... It's a Moroy ship ...?"

From the boat covered with flames and smoke, a small boat of some bright color is spread, and people fall into the sea on board.

It seemed that the crew was trying to escape from the ship by the escape device.

"Fuhahaha, are you fleeing? Don't .... Escape before the enemy is a death penalty."

As he is not a soldier, he has nothing to flee before the enemy, but Astor mutters and starts to dive again.

Bring a brightly colored target to the center of the sight.

After that, just moving one finger will kill many lives.

"Huhuh"

He laughed like a madman, mercilessly triggered.

Tatata Tata …….

The 7.7mm machine gun fired with a towed ammunition is sucked straight into the rescue boat.

At the same time as the boat burst, the sea turned red.

"Ahahahaha! Interesting! Interesting !!!"

Once rise.

From the other rescue boats, you can see the face looking up here in a form of fear.

Start the dive again and shoot one and one more rescue boat.

Rescue boat that turns red one after another.

"Hmm!?"

Someone jumped from the rescue boat into the sea and tried to swim and escape.

You can understand from the movement that you are swimming desperately.

"Do you think you can escape from me !?"

Ascended again, machine-shooted into the sea, and the area near those who fled turned red.

"Hahaha, lament that you were born in a weak country ... Oops, did Mu come ...?"

A few small spots as small as a grain of sand could be seen before the sky.

The remaining ammunition of the machine gun was small, and Astor reversed and pulled Mu's fighter off.

The car carrier Ikai Cruiser was set on fire that day by an aircraft of the Gura Barcas empire.

Japan s capital Tokyo Prime Minister's office

At the Prime Minister's Office, senior officials of each ministry and related ministries and agencies were gathered, and an emergency meeting was held.

(4) The moderator will explain the outline of the case.

"The above is both damages that have been confirmed at the time of the Battle of Baltista."

Ministers turn blue on the loss of both ships and human casualties.

If the Self-Defense Forces vessels were to be lost in the same way as other countries, the domestic turmoil would be immense.

In this naval battle, the Holy Military Empire was sunk in spite of introducing SF weapons called aerial battleships, so the upheaval of the ministers who were basically unfamiliar with the military was great.

"The remaining Navy of the Gra Barcass Empire is currently being identified ..."

The facilitator simply reads the number of ships confirmed, the estimated gross tonnage, and the number of operational aircraft.

There was a surprising difference in strength with just “numbers”, and the upset was even greater.

"Minister of Defense, will Japan be able to defend itself if the Gra-Barcass empire is invading in earnest?"

The explanation was interrupted, and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries asked a question.

"At the moment ... At this point, I can assert that if the Gra-Barcass attacked, I could protect Japan or could afford to afford this.

However, if you estimate based on the development of earth history, it will be difficult to judge whether it will be possible to protect it in 40 or 50 years, depending on the number of opponents. "

Some air of relief flows into the space.

In any case, the war with the Gura Barkas empire must end as soon as possible.

After a brief description of the Battle of Baltista, reports began on the requests and recent status of the country.

"Now to the northwest of Mu, about 25 km west of the border town of Aru, the Imperial Army of Gura Barcas is converging.

However, according to the analysis of the Ministry of Defense, the invasion is not immediate, but rather it is building a base ... I think that we are building a base for air force and a land invasion.

The level of civilization during World War II, and the current strength expected from the data, is too small to invade the Mu country.

However, this position is within the distance that the artillery can reach the city of Aru in the country of Mu, and the artillery from Mu cannot reach the base. It is also possible. ''

"Mu regards this as a preparation for a full-scale invasion and calls on the Japanese government to provide effective military assistance to launch the Gra Barcass Empire from the Second Civilization."

The Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry raises his hand and begins asking questions.

"Is it possible for Mu to defend itself? What does the Ministry of Defense think?"

"I can't do it. The level of technology is too different."

"To ... it's ridiculous !!!! The current economic boom is nothing but Mu's wealth from each country, buying Japanese products for the development of its own country.

We make use of the overwhelming technology gap and buy at the asking price, and we also use airports prepared by the country of Mu in each country at a low price.

The airports in each country are even expanding their facilities to make it possible to get on and off the jet for free. Of course, Mu is one of the most important friendship countries! ! !

If you lose Mu now, you will have financial turmoil and the Great Depression just after the transition.

Soon! ! SDF should be dispatched to help Mu! ! ! "

"I don't want you to say easily!

Legal maintenance has not caught up, and above all ... SDF equipment is strong to protect, but very weak to attack.

You can't fight without supplies.

How do you deploy more than 20,000km ahead, and start the army out of the country? Although air strikes are effective, they do not dispel the army.

One of the assumptions is that the dispatch of units and the effective elimination of the Imperial Army of Gra-Barcass will be denied to consider the idea, but now it is too hard to think in terms of equipment. I think"

"But it would be professional to do it !!!

Every time Mu falls, the Gura Barcas Empire gets the continent.

`` We will increase our national power, fight the Holy Military Empire, and if we win, Japan will be seriously threatened. ''

A slight difference in quantity can be covered by technology.

However, the overwhelming difference was never filled unless nuclear weapons were used.

"I want you to understand that there are things that you can and cannot do!

Reality doesn't go like a story! ! ! "

The discussion is heated and the place is raging.

(4) The Prime Minister raised his hand and the place was quiet.

"Minister of Defense, I don't say I can't do it.

However, not only Mu but also Japan has been declared a war from the Empire of Gra Barcas.

Even now, even if it is an economic threat, it will be a big threat if left alone.

What can be done, including cooperation with each country ... I want you to narrow down your wisdom. "

"... I understand."

"But when it comes to overseas, there will be many opponents."

"After the Papaldia Empire, public opinion became more evident in Oita overseas dispatch, but there is a clear reason why the lives of Self-Defense Forces are at stake.

Gata'! ! !

A young diplomat official rushed open the door.

I could easily imagine that there would be more headaches.

"I'm sorry during the meeting !!

According to the information entered earlier, a Japanese national cargo ship carrying a car was extinguished about 300 km east of the country.

Before we were out, we were intercepting a rescue signal and a radio signal telling us that we were being attacked by an aircraft, and we are currently checking the details. ''

"Shit !!"

"What a !!!"

"Yeah ... it doesn't seem to give me a break ...

Hold a press conference as soon as detailed information is available.

Minister of Defense! ! Please hurry a bit earlier. "

"I understand."

The war will leapfrog ... The Japanese government will do its utmost to protect the nation and its people.

◆◆◆

Japan Capital Tokyo Ministry of Defense

Every day's hard work has reduced the nerves of MOD executives.

Still for Japan ... They continue to argue to remove the threat of Japan.

"I can't do it ... Sea lane is too long !!

It is virtually impossible to completely eliminate the threat of enemy submarines between Mu and Japan! ! ! "

"But we need to do something. Like a convoy, would we have to go back and forth by convoy escort by an escort ship?"

"The business world is not convinced!"

"I have to be convinced !!!! It's better than dying!"

"Wait, if it's over soon, anyway, we don't have enough troops or ships to carry out operations that we don't know how long!"

You need to be more vigilant in the waters around Japan! ! ! "

Everyone puts Japan first and desperately narrows down what they can do.

"Please wait!

Everyone is so smart about defense that they haven't made a grand design. ''

Mitsugi, a young Defense Ministry executive, speaks from the side.

Speaking without reading the air of the slim body and the place, I sometimes get irritated, but in rare cases I made accurate statements.

He continues.

"This requires land, sea, and air to cooperate, and the government needs to work properly ...

In short, why not just hit the Gra Barcass Empire from the second civilization?

Everyone is too smart about “Defense”.

I think it's relatively easy to hit them.

The eyes were concentrated on him.

After a breath, Mitsugi slowly began to develop his theory.
