Saving 80,000 Gold in an Another World for Retirement

The first diplomatic conference! I'm nervous!

No, I've talked to the king of my country many times, but it's just about me and the king. On the other hand, this is a "country-to-country discussion", so the weight is completely different.

: Well, I'm the Earl who speaks, not me, but it's not a formal treaty meeting, but a pre-meeting for the same level.

The place has been moved to the conference room, and the Dalysson side is the beginning of the business talks with only the attendees being the main persons. Of course, the top is a princess. It is a matter of course because it is an important meeting for the country to make important decisions. Others might be the Prime Minister, the Minister, or the great army. I don't know each person's title.

"Now, let's get started on the subject."

And after the first greeting and a light forward movement, the Earl finally cut out his main subject.

"As you all know, this is the case of the invasion fleet from other continents to our country.

As you may have heard, we received a one-sided attack by three huge fighting ships carrying hundreds of people, with powerful weapons we did not know, "cannons" and "guns," Treasures, and people, were required to be offered as slaves. ''

The meeting room was angry at the demands of the overwhelming invaders, as Count said.

Apart from the fact that the enemy fleet was attacked, the details of the negotiations were unknown except to me and the people involved in the royal palace, so the information was not leaked, and it was likely that they did not think that any demands were so severe.

"Well, fortunately, we were able to capture all the battleships with very little damage ..."

When the Earl said that, a laugh spread throughout the room.

That is the case. He said he won without damage while threatening a huge battleship or a powerful new weapon.

But so much of us here, of course, should have known in advance. All you don't know is the power of your opponent's weapons.

"In other words, isn't that the enemy terrible? Isn't that worrying about Japan too?"

One of the people who seemed to be ministers said so as to speak for everyone. Everyone is nodding.

But if you think so, the story will not continue. The Count continued his words.

"Yes, if this country is under serious assault, if it happens to have" God's blessing ".

Without the blessing of the goddess, by now we would have been trembling waiting for our treasures and many nations to be taken away as slaves and for the governor from the controlling nation to be appointed as a dependent nation. ''

"" "" "..." "" "

A startling voice spread to the conference room.

That would be the case. It was a word unlikely to be spoken of by a messenger from a country with a strong army who repelled the recent attacks from the empire with slight damage, defeated two old dragons and dispelled one. . That matter, of course, should have gotten pretty detailed information. Probably, except for those soldiers.

Having the army, but not competing with just three ships, would be a trivial or incredible story.

Of course, this is talked about by the Count.

The crew of three ships alone cannot occupy the entire country, and guns that fly only a few miles cannot threaten the royal capital.

But it might have been possible to threaten the country against the background of the power of its weapons and the national power of its home country, and to conclude a unilateral treaty. And the upcoming fleet may have had many soldiers and the "Governor-General of the Colony to lead the colony." In no way, it's not a daboshi. It's just a little compressed time series.

"Therefore, it is our opinion that we would like to form an alliance in this country in preparation for the next enemy fleet invasion. This time, to gather domestic opinions before the talks, I've come to the explanation beforehand. ''

Once the Count broke the word, a question with ridicule was immediately heard.

"So, isn't the founder, your country, playing the role of the master?"

Indeed, it's not strange that the founder takes on the role of coordinator. However, the powers will not be silent because they can gain various benefits if they act as a coordinator. And here, the kingdom of Dalisson.

But for that, I am.

"I think so, but that's not just because I'm the founder.

Enemy battleships, mounted cannons, and guns. Only Japan has such actual goods, accepts the naturalization of former enemy soldiers, makes them their own citizens, and has those who know how to manufacture and operate them. It is also only in Japan that we can develop technology to do this. ''

"" ["" ............... "" ""

No one can refute the Earl's words. With that said, there is no way other nations can take the lead.

Also, if other countries take the role of coordinator, it is evident that many countries will give their name and become out of control. In order to avoid unnecessary fights and confusion, it would be the most reasonable decision for Japan to take the role of coordinator who has a reluctant but reassuring reason.

"But are those weapons really so powerful? Was they easily defeated by your soldiers?"

"No, if we fought properly, we wouldn't have won. Well, there would have been a small number of opponents and there was a problem with replenishment, but there was no way to do it because of the severe damage, I guess it was just waiting to be pulled up with a piece.

And after discovering the continent's existence, the next time he found an all-you-can-hunt hunting ground for slaves and treasures, he would come with a sufficient number of ships and soldiers ... "

"" "" "..." "" "

"So, can you show me the power of the weapon?"

The Imperial Highness Princess Remia, who had been silent until now, suddenly opened his mouth.

"What is that package for?"

Her high princess pointing at the long thing I carry.

That's not the one.

Is my turn here?

"Yes, that's right."

"……you are?"

"Is Viscount Mitsuha von Yamano, technical advisor to this mission."

"Huh? You are that ..."

The princess of surprised face. There is also a buzz among others.

Pumm, how far has I been known ...? Just a brave nobleman's daughter, as per the Royal Palace's official announcement? Or an exotic foreign princess who has a secret connection with the goddess in the royal capital?

"I don't know what that means, but maybe it's Viscount Yamano."

"..."

The princess who glitters her eyes. What are you thinking about ...

But it's getting better, Princess High Princess Remia. Beautiful and brilliant, neat and cute. Just a princess among princesses! It's a big difference from Sabine-chan ...

"Anyway, there's no negotiations about not being able to show you what the new weapons and things are like. That's the story."

According to the words of the Princess, the meeting was temporarily suspended, and the gun demonstration was performed first. Well, there is no problem because it was as expected from the beginning.

And a group of meeting rooms moving around, guided by the leaders.

The destination is an amphitheater in the courtyard.

Although it's an arena, it's not a real one. It is a kind of game that is used as an entertainment at the time of a garden party, such as a game of pride between arms, and there is only a grassland about the size of a classroom at an elementary school, but there is no separate building or seating area Apparently not. It is said that there is a doll made of wood (people) dressed in armor.

It's a good thing ...

When we arrived in the courtyard, the audience was already waiting.

It's not a big deal, but it's the only opportunity to see the power of the new weapons, so it's likely they've gathered the Royal Palace and top army. It may well change the shape of the battle ahead.

The Princess and the Countess stop at the outer edge of a small meadow named arena.

The three of us went straight to the left end of the arena and faced a wooden doll (people) wearing armor on the other side.

Distance, about 6 yards. 5 meters.

"Um, it's a bit too close ..."

This is the handgun distance.
