Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

"... training in action, you say?

"Yes."

"Whether it's a real fight or a training..."

I don't understand, a king with a head in his face like that.

"Practical training, not?

"Not"

"Training for action, or what?

"But not"

"Mmmmmm..."

This is the royal palace of the Kingdom of Zegreius, my second home country after Japan.

Not during a glance or anything, but in a small room for the inner circle, I, the King, the Chancellor, the Marquis of Eiblinger, and His Royal Highness the King as Omake... Sabine or Rouhen, you're your brother..., and so far I know. Understandable.

... but Sabine and Her Royal Highness the First Princess... Sabine is saying, 'Upper Sister'..., why are you here!

Well, it's more like 'rooting' than an extremely inner circle meeting in the face of 'usual members, plus alpha'...

Oh, Count Bozez, he's in the realm now, so he doesn't participate. The harbor town is in trouble and I can hardly come to the king's capital...

I don't know what else to do.

"I have a much better chance of ending up without a turn, but I just want to be ready in case. … specifically, prior authorization from the State and prior notification to the crew.

Once successful, you can experience valuable action in action. Anyway, in order to save ammunition, the actual artillery drill just fired five to six artillery rounds on land... "

Yeah, I can manage to make shells that are just chunks of iron, but gunpowder's still better.

For once, gunpowder can also be made. It would be stranger if the country was backing me up and couldn't make it because I can find out how to make it on Earth.

But there are various problems with uniformity of performance, safety, and how to obtain potassium nitrate in large quantities and stably......

Grenades The truth is, shells also... have explosives in their bodies, the ones that explode. I would also call it an explosive bomb...... but in the current situation, where we haven't even been able to provide a stable supply of launchers instead of artillery, we're still ahead of us. Explosives, detonation systems, and other challenges are so exciting...... After all, I wonder if detonation is a time-bound formula by a fuse line... If it's the same type of thing that caught the spinning strip, it looks like we could build artillery, but that's just for technical verification, just a passing point. What we make in earnest is a rear-mounted gun that uses live ammunition from the vertebrae. Technologies and national power are inferior, and the only way for our country to counter the great powers to the extent that we can make a small ship is to make an overwhelming difference in the performance of the cannons.... It's still a long way off for that to happen.

In other words, as it stands, when the ammunition on board at the time of capture is exhausted, it becomes a useless figurine for neither the artillery nor the ship.

Can we consume that precious ammunition for no reason, even though it's not a crisis in our own country?

It is natural to think so, and it is not wrong. But...

"There are currently only three capture ships available, even if the repair of 'Ehras' and the ship now under construction have been completed, five. That, too, is an old ship in an enemy country, and besides the cannons loaded on the new shipbuilding are still under study, as opposed to mass production.

It doesn't make a lot of sense that you saved ammunition and kept it warm in that condition. Instead of artillery training, we haven't even had enough experience with test firing levels... "

"Ugh..."

Yes. Do you conserve one naval ammunition in the same condition as an amateur?

Or do you want to try just a little flashy?

No, I don't use it all. Just a few simultaneous shots.

That, too, wasn't always decided there would be a turn. I'm rooting for a situation like that, and because I may not be able to afford a long meeting or permission at that time, so I can have full powers entrusted to me in advance.

And a temporary silence continues......

"... Isn't that good?

"Huh..."

To the words of the Marquis Ivlinger, spinning abruptly, the king leaks a voice of surprise.

"At any rate, there are three ships that are old-fashioned for them and a number of guns that do not even extend to the number of guns doors of two of the most advanced ships. Ammunition that runs out once fought. Besides, what we're trying to build is a new type of cannon, which we plan to unload from the ship if it's done. If it's a fabric stone for the future, don't you mind if I use it?

Besides, it's what Viscount Yamano originally got me. If Viscount Yamano, who would understand the situation the most, decides it is a reasonable use, there is no difference in entrusting everything "

Marquis Eiblinger of Tamemouth, even though it is a word against the king. You said you and the king have been friends with the two cars for a long time, and regardless of the official venue, they seem to be pretty frank dating in these informal, small places.

Well, as much as I was entrusted with the Commander-in-Chief of the King's Capital Defense Battle. So trust is thick and natural...

…………

And in the end, my request was heard, and other ministers, the military, and the ship's crew were to be briefed beforehand.

The opinions of the other row attendants?

His Royal Highness Prince Wang, well, he was just in the queue to study, and he didn't have a say. There are only four members of the substantive talks: I, the King, the Chancellor and the Marquis Eiblinger. Really, it's just a very small, informal stopover in the body. That's why the Marquis Ivlinger was also talking to his king in that tone. Public talk with old friends, it feels like.

Sabine, are you and the First Princess? Ha ha......

No, really, why were you there, those two...

Of course I do not want to involve this country in the battle between the nations of the new continent.

It's the pinnacle of stupidity to let our people die in battle between other nations.

But it is undesirable that 'one country wins big and the international situation around there becomes weaker than the other'. Because when a powerful nation is born that can afford it, after pushing in the countries around it, it will look away.

… Yes, and after discovering, invading and taking possession of treasures and slaves, we send an expedition fleet to continue to exploit them permanently.

To stop it......

So here we are, the city of the military harbor.

The "Leviathan" the soldier is on, and...

... None.

Well, it's a ship, so I'm about to sail.

Especially since sailboats and more than half of the crew are sailors, because daily training is important. Were you just lucky that you were always in port when I came up until now?

Oh, by "sailor" I don't mean "sailor," I mean junior sailor involved in ship maneuvering. You can't count artillery technicians or cutting personnel.

... Nevertheless, the pier is ragged. Most ships are out!

Though I thought it was still a stage of political manoeuvre, sailboats travel at a slow pace, and if war has already decided, is it normal for fleets to go out immediately to defend colonies and routes?

And 'Leviathan' is a squad flagship. It's not a fleet flagship, but there's no way the state-of-the-art 64 gateways aren't going out.

... or all that's left is cluttered ships and support ships. And about an abandoned ship that was expelled and left moored?

... What do we do?

First of all, we don't know where the fleet is being moved.

We don't even know where the enemy fleet is.

I don't know where to fight.

I don't know when to fight.

There's nothing I can do ~!!
