Unwanted dispute 2
"That's what I've done ..."
Shimada, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs official, is somewhat confused when the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Japan Coast Guard destroy the unknown troops that appeared in the attack on Feng Kingdom.
I've been involved in a struggle between countries ... I can only say that my luck is too bad.
However, this time, the unit of unknown nationality was apparently making a preemptive strike on the Japan Coast Guard patrol boat, and actually landed on the rear of the hull, causing a fire. It is a legitimate defense shot at all and cannot be blamed on the Japan Coast Guard.
The number of units of unknown nationality was large, and if the Maritime Self-Defense Force did not participate in the war, it would be difficult to repel, and Shimada himself, who was near the castle, was at risk of death.
Of course, you can't blame the JMSDF.
It is not true that this happens at this timing.
Shimada cursed his fate.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs collected information to prevent the situation from worsening, and found the following.
○ Based on the reaction of the kingdom of Fen and military officials from all nations, it is certain that the attacking unit is the Emperor Papardia, one of the world's five strongest powers belonging to the third civilized sphere of the Philiades continent, about 500 km west of the kingdom of Fen.
○ A unit called the Imperial Audit Force of the Emperor Papardia, a unit that moves under the influence of the Third Foreign Affairs Bureau targeting countries outside the civilized sphere.
It seems that the punitive attack on the kingdom of Fen was a kind of so-called gunboat diplomacy, which was carried out in line with the gathering of stakeholders from various nations, in order to elevate their authority and obey other nations.
According to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, 22 fleets heading east at a speed of about 15 knots at a speed of about 200 km west of the Kingdom of Fen have been identified.
The situation was urgent.
A meeting with the Kingdom of Fen was scheduled for this evening, but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will urgently contact the Foreign Affairs Department of the Kingdom of Fen.
The kingdom of Fen responded to the immediate talks.
A group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs waiting in the guest room, the kingdom of Fen is a poor country, but the guest room for diplomacy is not luxurious, but it is a room that is rich and quaint, and very high quality .
At one point, Maghreb, the chief of the Knights of Fen, appeared.
"I would like to thank the Japanese people for their victory over the people who surprised Fen Kingdom this time with truly brilliant skills."
The chief knight bows deeply.
"No, we didn't drive off an attack on your country. We just shook it off because it hit us."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will take control.
"I'm ready to talk about the opening of diplomatic relations ... I'd like to prepare for working-level talks ..."
The kingdom of fen seems to be irresistible because he wants to bring Japan to his side.
"Is your country already in a state of war? The situation has changed, and our authority alone will not be able to negotiate open diplomatic relations with your country in war today. In my opinion, I would like to return home once, fill in the content, and contact you again. "
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted to withdraw from this area as soon as possible before the west fleet arrived.
"I understand. I'm hoping for a good reply. One thing, keep this in mind. The unit you've cleared up is the third civilized nation, the Emperor of the Great Powers, Parpaldia. In Japan, we received a one-sided request from Papaldia for the donation of land, and refused to do so, just like a country that had just attacked us.
In the past, there have been countries like us that have been subjected to punitive attacks on Parpaldia. The nation abruptly targeted and killed a dragon knight against an enemy Wyvern Road.
The small nation was attacked and destroyed by the Emperor Papardia, the people were executed by all rebellious people, and all other people were sold to their nations as slaves. The royal family was killed by all their relatives and was skewered in front of the Royal Castle.
Please do not forget that the Emperor Papardia, a great power, is a country with strong pride. "
After hearing the appalling story, a group of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs headed for the harbor from the Royal Castle.
The port of Amanoki, the capital of the Kingdom of Fen, was spectacular, with battleships from other countries outside the civilized area being berthed in order.
However, there is no escort ship on the spot.
Although it is a port of the capital outside the civilization area, it cannot secure enough water depth to anchor an escort ship, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs transfers will be carried out by a patrol boat of the Japan Coast Guard.
If you use a helicopter, you can move quickly, but because you did not have permission to fly over the capital (the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not apply voluntarily to avoid stimulating the partner country), it was a ship.
The patrol boat, Inasa, was anchored at the port of Amanoki, turned off the engine, lowered the anchor, and was waiting for a group of Foreign Ministry to come.
At Port, people are shining and waving here.
"To-chan, that white ship has beat the bad guys."
"That's right! That light bomb storm would have been amazing!"
"Yeah! It was amazing!"
"Wow!"
People from the Kingdom of Fen who are shaking their hands with a full smile, Coast Guard officials wave their hands with a slightly solid smile.
It was my first experience to receive such a favorable glance.
"Oh ... a foreign ministry came!"
With an impatient face, go straight to the harbor and head for you.
"engine start!!!"
Push
"!?"
"What happened! Engine started!"
Pusu' ...
"... the engine doesn't start"
The patrol boat, Inasa, was unable to restart its engine due to the direct impact of a fire-bomb from the Imperial Papaldia, Wyvern Road Dragoons.
"What is the cause! Where is it broken!"
"... unknown"
If you are not a contractor, you can do nothing.
A group of MOFA arrives.
"Uh ... it doesn't work !?"
"Yes, I guess it was the effect of the previous battle."
"Do you want the SDF towing you?"
"I can not do it because the harbor is shallow. The anchor does not go up."
"If the SDF picks me up by boat and leave only the boat ..."
"I'm subject to the New World Technology Spill Prevention Act"
"Then, if you sunk the innace ..."
"I wouldn't be able to do that in a port in another country's capital!"
The debate continues, but the fact remains that the inaction has not moved.
"Ho ... contact your home country"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials made the decision without force.
The decision of the Government of Japan was to dispatch an escort ship off the west coast of the Kingdom of Fen.
Before the collision between the Imperial Fleet of Parpaldia and the Kingdom of Fen, test if you can talk.
I want to avoid fighting somehow.
I wanted to avoid fighting, but in the New World, I decided that a certain amount of active diplomacy was necessary, so my life was given to this action.
Kingdom of Fen Navy
The 13 Royal Navy Royal Navy fleets were wary of about 150 km west of the kingdom due to the possibility of a war with the Emperor Papardia.
The navy who is on guard is the elite of the kingdom of Fen, and relatively inexperienced people are not on guard and are participating in military festivals this time.
The Navy sails on wooden boats with inefficient sails.
If a mobile battle is required, row with the oar protruding from the ship.
The ship had wooden shields arranged at regular intervals to prevent fire and arrows, and three varistors were installed side by side to damage the enemy hull.
There is also an oil pot on the ship to fire fire.
The flagship that unites the 13 navy is one size larger than the other ships, and has only one cannon at the bow.
The Commander of the Navy, Kusira, stared at the west horizon.
"Military, is the coming of the Emperor Papardia ...?"
"Wyvern Road flew toward our country earlier ... it will come!"
"... Can you win?"
"Huh ... you can't do it for free, even if you're a great power, because we're pretty elaborate.
in addition···. "
Commander looks at the cannon at the bow.
"Look at that! It's a magical weapon that is said to be used only in civilized spheres! It shoots a spherical iron bullet nearly 1 km, hits a ship, and destroys it with its kinetic energy. I piled up! "
Commander speaks to the captain.
I can't talk anxiety in front of my subordinates. But the commander knew. The powers have a super weapon that can destroy every ship called a gunboat.
It was the top secret of the kingdom of Fen.
Probably the gunboat, like the strongest ship in the kingdom of Fen, the flagship sword god, carries a magical weapon called a cannon that exists in the civilized sphere.
In addition, the strongest class of ships would normally exist in powers.
In the head of Navy Commander Kuzilla, he begins a full spin in preparation for the upcoming battle with the mighty Emperor Papardia.
(How can I ... win?)
"Ship check !!!! 22 ships !!"
A watchman watching on the mast reports loudly.
Finally, did you come!
You can see the ship's shadow on the horizon.
The ship, visible through the telescope, is much larger and more advanced than ships of the Royal Navy's Royal Navy.
The ship moves at a faster speed than the Fen Kingdom ship, receiving the wind blown by the magic of the wind on a mast that has both design and functionality.
The enemy fleet, which gradually grows from the horizon, is elegant, beautiful, and powerful, even with the eyes of the Royal Naval Commander Kunsila.
You can tell the level of refining from the undisturbed movement of each ship.
"All members, battle deployment !!!"
The sailors move around in a hurry.
"... approaching faster than I thought ..."
The fleet is approaching faster than he expects.
"Cut ... this is the first shot! We will make the most powerful attack first, and then rush into the enemy at maximum ship speed while firing the magical gun !!"
"Each person is ready for the battle! The flagship sword god is in the front row, and I will rush into the enemy in one vertical row!"
... I'm sorry ...
The Commander of the Navy, Kushira, wished for a magic gun, which was installed only on the bow of the flagship sword god.
"Confirmation of the ship's shadow, that flag is ... the Fen Kingdom Navy"
Emperor Papardia Emperor of the Imperial Audit Force Orient Fleet, Pocutor, receives a report.
"The kingdom of Fen ... Wyvern Road units have lost communication. Maybe they have new weapons ..."
Poctal raises his voice.
"Don't despise the opponent as a barbarian! Let's crush it with all your might with the enthusiasm against the mighty fleet!"
The fleet speeded up and headed for the Fendom Royal Navy.
Feng Kingdom Navy
"Soon the distance to the enemy is approaching 2km."
The report goes up.
"Is it within 1 km of the enemy gunboat?"
Sweat spreads on the forehead of Navy Commander Kushila.
"Max speed !!!! Row all !!!!"
Oars protrude from each ship.
The oar starts to row at a certain rhythm according to the rhythm of the drum.
The thirteen ships of the Fen Kingdom Navy increase speed and proceed.
! ! ! ! ! !
"The enemy ship has turned!"
Enemy fleet turns sideways.
"What are you going to do?"
Navy Commander Kushira has difficulty understanding the movements of enemy ships.
Papapapapapapa ... An enemy ship is enveloped in a lot of smoke.
Dodododododone ... The explosive sound resounds at sea with a slight delay.
"Well ... No way!
Such an idiot! The magic gun used in the civilized sphere has a range of 1 km and a distance to the current enemy of 2 km, which is still twice as long.
In addition, here, there is only one magic gun at the bow, but the enemy ... There are incomparable numbers of magic guns per ship.
A water column begins to rise in the place where the shelling fell.
Don't hit me! !
The Commander of the Navy, Kusira, prays to God.
Dawn ... Schwahn! ! ! ! !
The enemy's magic cannon hits the ship that was sailing behind the flagship sword god.
The shell explodes, knocking down the oil jar set on the ship to release the fire arrow, igniting the scattered oil, and the ship begins to explode in flames.
The elite troops of the kingdom of Fen are trained bodies, practiced repeatedly, practiced, swordsmanship obtained after training like hell is burned and rolled on board without exerting the swordsmanship obtained
"I can not believe that!!!"
One after another, the gun begins to land on the Fen Kingdom Navy.
Many ships burn.
"I have to control it a little!
A gun installed on the bow of the flagship sword god fires a round shell with a roar.
The next moment, the enemy gun hits the flagship sword god and explodes! A large hole opens on the ship.
"This is ... power!"
The number of gunboats, the difference in the number of guns per ship, the range and power of guns, and the ship's ship speed are all orders of magnitude.
I didn't think it was such a difference. The power of power was the difference only in the scale of civilization, and I thought he was calling himself "power of power."
But the reality was different. In terms of "quality" and "technology," the powers far surpassed the civilized sphere.
With this, you can't win even if the enemy is one ship.
The consciousness of Navy Commander Kushira was lost forever with the burning of the burning flagship sword god in the ammunition room.
"All 13 ships of the Royal Fen Navy have sunk. Our loss is zero, and there is no malfunction in equipment."
...
"... I thought too much ..."
"The enemy was once a barbarian, firing only one cannon, but it was an old-fashioned gun from our country, which is usually used by civilized nations. It landed far in front of the fleet."
"That's right ... take the path to the capital city of Fen, Amanoki !!"
The fleet headed east for more enemies without any loss or slight damage.
