870 Episode 859: What Are Those People Doing With That? 2 (The Katlanda Empire Goes Nothing But Thoughts. ）

This is the Catalan Imperial Castle Great Conference Room.

Meetings were being held between the Emperor of Katlanda and the 4th Prince Chico, the generals of each army, their aides, and other executives, including civilians.

Heavy air pervades the meeting rooms.

"... ha... so you really can't import uster sauce from the kingdom of Azpur?

Emperor Katlanda says to the 2nd Army general in a sigh.

"Your Majesty, I received a report that you were visiting the other side on your earlier visit and that you had come to see something useful there.

"Right.

So, how about Wuster sauce? Do you think that would make the people more satisfied?

Why refuse?

"... Your Majesty.

How do you order items that aren't on the list, even if you haven't seen them?

I told the merchants that I had never dealt with such things.

"He said he had just recently been able to talk about it in the king's capital of the kingdom of Azpur.

I'm sure you're talking to the first prince, Cliff.

Can't you just let me go and buy you that far?

"Your Majesty... this is not the harm of my predecessors... but I have never tried so hard to do business with them.

Now, little by little, I finally started trading.

The opponent is a merchant in Ashton territory. You won't get that usler sauce yet because the people there haven't handled it.

"... it's Wuster sauce.

General, that's a groundbreaking source. If we can distribute in our country, we can improve the diet of our people.

Can you talk to the merchant squad so we can get it somehow?

"I will make an effort...

Could you give me a moment?

"Hmm... isn't it something to decide sooner or later?

But get me just a small amount as soon as you can. Because I want to eat too.

And I want to feed you too. It would be a good precedent for food to involve morale.

"Ha! Your Majesty.

The 2nd army general nods.

"Well... what happened to Chico's daughter-in-law while I was gone?

I told you to narrow down your candidacy.

"Ha! Your Majesty.

I'll explain that to you.

Six candidates have also been handed over by His Royal Highness Chico to narrow down to three during the visit.

"Hmm... have you actually seen Chico?

He said he was going to do something while I was gone.

"Yes, Father.

All six of them were far-sighted, but we are confirming who they are.

Of course I'm talking to that parent.

"Right. So what do you say?

"I can't follow A and B... Father, are we going to squeeze further?

All women and personalities seemed calm, and they looked beautiful... and it was quite difficult to narrow them down to three.

All the women are attractive. What should I do?

Chico looks in trouble.

"... then will you marry those three?

"" Heh... Your Majesty!?

Several people get up on the spot.

"No, on this inspection.

I also talked to the First Prince family over there, and that's when I talked about the simultaneous ceremony between the main room and the first side room.

"Ho... ho...

So what did you say?

"No. 'The ceremony's hard work goes hand in hand with whether it's a simultaneous ceremony or a one-on-one ceremony. Perhaps it would be easier to perform simultaneous ceremonies if there were no problems within the Crown Princess."

I thought it would be good if the princesses could get along.

I guess I don't have to force myself to decide on a normal room and wind up with a side room in the next few years.

Families, including Chico, are best able to stay close.

So, how about three at the same time?

"Shh... give me a moment.

We were choosing a full room... when simultaneous ceremonies were possible.

Once again, the friendship between the candidates for the crown princess... no. I'll check them all again, including the first six.

Your Highness, if you'll excuse me, please use the blank paper for narrowing it down to three.

Fully rotate your head as the civilian you were describing perspired.

"Yeah.

I'm sure I was distressed too... right.

Consider the simultaneous ceremony and choose someone.

"Yes!"

"It's hard to go this way either...

Well, I need to finish this one as soon as I can.

I'd like to have a ceremony by the end of next year if I can. Chico is the mark.

I have to show that inside and out.

Everybody, say hello!

"" Ha!

Everyone on the spot responds.

"Well, how about the factory in East Town?

"There is no delay in the process towards construction.

We are now scrutinizing weapons to be produced in large quantities in the 1st Army's equipment department.

There are no delays here either.

A civilian stands up and responds.

"Right.

What happened to Automata?

"Yes, Your Majesty.

I've been contacted that the specifications are going to be a lot different than the original plan.

However, a report has arrived that we were able to withstand the battle when we conducted the test operation earlier.

So I believe that the specification that it can withstand the battle at the very least is fulfilled.

"Hmm...

But a lot...?

Emperor Katlanda puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"Father, the prototype has been inspected by me while Father was being inspected.

"How'd it go?

"As it stands, we seem to be using two magicians to start and maneuver.

The challenge now, he said, is to get it started and maneuvered by one magician.

"Hmm. How did it look?

"That's tough. I mean the full plate you're equipped with... did you say armor?

It was explained that armor was made thick and that, as things stand, it would not be defeated except by massive magic.

He also said that if you thin this armor to the limit, you can do less magicians.

"Hmm...

Experimental troop operations are still ahead of us. When can we put ourselves into war yet to be determined?

"Your Majesty, I'll take care of that there, too.

I urge you to manage to start troop operations in two years' time.

"Right.

But it won't work if it's too perfect. Make some compromise, but make sure it leads to troop operations.

"Ha!"

Civilian sits thankfully.

"And then... ah, about domestic trends after the signing of the treaty with the Wilip Union?

Then give me a report.

"Ha!"

Another clerk got up and started explaining.
