122 A world full of hope.

Japan Defense Equipment Agency

The Japan Defense Equipment Agency, which can also be said to be at the forefront of Japan's defense equipment.

In one of the rooms, Tenjo and Machiyan, staff members, were talking during lunch break.

Yin, a town with a slightly sharp eye, starts talking to Okada.

"Did you hear that? The Gra Vulcan Imperial Navy's Grade Atlaser in Wu, with the exception of the projectile control systems and engines, really looks like a Yamato Battleship."

I heard it was similar, but Okada rounded her eyes to the fact that it looked just like the internal structure.

"Like what??"

"No, there's only a report of similarities.

In the first place, Yamato's complete data is now missing, so no one knows if it looks like the detailed components.

But they have a plan to remodel it and put it on the line by themselves. "

There was no rush, and Okada even felt angry with the solution, which could be said to be a waste of taxes.

"What? Everything is designed too old.It would be cheaper to build a new frigate than to remodel it.

It is too expensive, such as reconstructing broken parts.It's practically impossible. "

"No, the government seems to be serious.

There are too many hegemonies in this country, so I would like to employ the most understandable Battleship to convey strength to my opponent.

Moreover, if it is similar to Yamato, I would like to put it on the line even more.

Since it is old and cannot be used as it is, the upper management is talking about how to renovate it that can withstand modern warfare.

They will come down to us soon.

It's going to be a lot of work. Besides.... "

The shadow of the town says anything is impossible.

Okada puts on his clothes and speaks in the middle of his story.

"No, no, I can't.

The budget is also limited.The ocean lacks its own personnel.

Isn't it cheaper to make it than to fix it?

In general, in order to convey strength, battleships are certainly easy to understand, but if you realize that you only have one ship, you can lick it if you don't have the power to make it. "

"It's your bad habit. Listen to the end of the story.

The budget is said to have a special budget.Japan today has an unprecedented economic boom, and the government probably has money.In our current scenario, Battleships… No, three large frigates will be newly built and one upgraded Grade Atlaster.

Considerable labor savings will be achieved.

The Department of Defense continued to inform Perpardia that the lessons learned from this invasion of the Gra Vulcan Empire and the overwhelming quantity and aggressiveness of the opponent would have left the guard ship short of firepower.

The shortage of staff also works the other way around.

In order to efficiently deploy as many people as the ocean itself can, and maximize its effectiveness, we can't help but increase the size of the ship.

If you're going to be so big in the middle of a war, you should build a battleship... and allocate a budget to a high-performance, expensive ship while you have a special wartime budget. "

Summarize and capture descriptions.

○ The government budget is abundant

○ The Self-Defense Forces continued to fight after the transition, and became the occupational group accompanying the actual battle.

A salary that doesn't suit my life, I don't recruit as I think, and I'm understaffed

○ In terms of cost, it is far better to mass produce a frigate

○ However, human resources are scarce, and if overwhelming quantities like this one are ahead, firepower tends to be scarce only in frigates.

○ There is currently no nucleus, and even if it is made, it cannot be used easily

○ There are many countries not yet connected to this planet, there are too many uncertainties

○ Therefore, it was decided to improve the performance of a single ship.

○ Originally, it would have been more efficient to make it high-performance and large-scale, but now that we have a temporary correction budget, we have a plan for the highest-performance ship that can be operated with current personnel.

○ Only four ships were budgeted for because the ship was in a rush.

"There will also be an option for assessability."

"That's weak defense.There have been many sudden attacks without knowing whether they were enemies or allies.

Anyway, there are many enemies on this planet.I can't discard the possibility of a single ship dealing with it.

They have defense.

Then we'll have to build the biggest and strongest ship we can think of. "

"I don't think it's cost-effective."

"That's not true. If other countries are afraid of Japan and can avoid a war once, even a few battleships will be less financially burdened.

Money came in full due to the boom... but I repeat, the ocean's own enlistment is rare, so people's assets are far more important.

As far as I can think of, I don't know what kind of ship it will be.

Larger sizes are hands-on and have experimental implications.

Four ships are confirmed, but I don't know what happens after that. "

"If you want me to build it, I'd like the strongest ship anyway...."

"Oh, by the way, the three new ships are called Yamato frigates.

Hiragana is nothing, Katakana.

I don't know what kind of name the Grade Atlaster change will be.

Each convoy will be deployed one at a time.

However, since there are plans to have air carriers in the long term, it is not certain whether the formation of the convoy group will continue with four.

Intimidation is one of their goals, so in addition to being made of stealth, they also emphasize appearance.

We're considering a new frigate with a 46-cm linear railgun. "

"Ri... Linear railgun?? If the range is too long... but seriously... we don't have enough power."

"The shells are guided, the power is normal, the power is running out, the fuel is eaten, and nuclear power is being considered so that we can freely go anywhere on this vast planet."

"Then the anti-aircraft guns....."

"Laser weapons are going to be on board, and the latest technology is going to flourish. It's a dream.

Soon we'll be busy too!!

Well... it looks like we'll be deploying pretty soon. "

Okada's negative feelings disappear.

Although the development was far from complete, the two staff were motivated to engage in the development of future weapons and to build the most powerful ships.

A tavern with cult alpas, the harbour town of the sacred military empire of the central world

This evening, the drunks were drinking together as usual.

After a dwarf-style man drank a nice beer, he started talking.

"Puhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Japanese beer cooled to Kinkin after work was exceptional.

"Speaking of which, did the Great Fleet of the Gras Vulcan Empire go to Japan?I wonder what happened. "

"Oh, you don't know? There's been a huge battle the other day, and the government is announcing it today."

"Oh, so many people today?"

Culture Alpas is the hub of global trade and gathers information.

With an image-receiving magic communications monitor (so-called TV), the tavern also thrived among merchants who wanted to get information quickly, officials from various countries, and local workers.

"Here it comes!!"

The news program begins with the bow of a beautiful elfcaster.

"Hello, today, the Holy Military Imperial Public Relations Department has just sent important information in a text.

I'm going to tell you about the news today. "

Both drunks paid attention to the monitor.

"Recently, the enemy fleet began to retreat after hundreds of ships, including the flagship of the Imperial Fleet Gra Vulcan, were destroyed or sunk by an unknown battle between the main fleet of the Imperial Fleet Gra Vulcan, our air battleship Par Kimara, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces.

There was no damage to the Japanese and Japanese operations.

I'll tell you again. "

"No damage? No damage?? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Even the World Alliance fleet suffered a lot."

"Did you destroy the main fleet of the Gra Vulcan Empire????"

Both drunks are annoying.

The news continues.

"Our air battleship Par Kimaira and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces engaged and sunk hundreds of the main fleet of the Gras Vulcan Empire, and the Gras Vulcan Empire fleet withdrew.

The exact values of the ships that are currently sunk will be released after the information has been collated.

According to the Public Relations Department, this is a result of the effective operation of air battleships and the successful cooperation with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces, and we hope to continue to operate in cooperation with other countries in the future.

According to military experts, this naval battle was a supreme victory, and the Japanese army researched and responded to how to operate the weapons made by the Gra Vulcan Empire..... "

Newscaster tells about government announcements indifferently.

The government did not declare a lie.

While the Gla Vulcan Empire fleet was virtually defeated before Japan, the Holy Military Empire exaggerated the strength of its country as if it had been defeated and allowed its embraced military experts to speak.

"Wow, the Holy Military Empire is the best in the world."

That's not true.

"There is no way that a non-magical nation can beat our country with magical emperor weapons."

The light shines on their thicker hearts, which were still defeated.

The people of the Holy Military Empire rejoiced in the news, and those who touched on it in other countries felt terrified by the overwhelming power of the Holy Military Empire, which even the Gras Vulcan Empire would leave.

Those who knew Japan well saw that information manipulation had been added to the broadcast and trembled at the strength of Japan.

◆ ◆ ◆

Gra Vulcus Empire Rayfolia District

At lunch, Dallas eats in the dining room.

As usual, Moo's television broadcast was used as part of the information gathering.

With the light sound, the broadcast of Moo-guk begins.

Hello

The news began with a handsome man and a beautiful newscaster.

"Last month's announcement revealed that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the air battleships of the Holy Military Empire were engaged in a massive battle against the main fleet of the Gra Vulcan Empire."

At the moment, there is no special communication from the military department to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The cafeteria was annoying.

Next, a video was shown on television, and a telep called (provided by the Moo government) was streamed.

Some of the video data sent by the Japanese government to the Moo government will be broadcast on national broadcasts.

Obviously, the footage transferred from the sky, the messy superstructure, the dirty Gla Vulcan Imperial Navy flag... and some of the flags that only the flagship could hold were projected in a torn state, and the enemy state... was towed by a ship flying the flag of Japan.

"Ah... that!!!"

My voice is clogged.

Iconic ship of the Gra Vulcan Empire

The largest and most powerful ship in history.The Battleship Grade Atlaster was rattled and looked ruthless.

On the terrop, the words (Grad Atlaster, the flagship of the Gla Vulcan Imperial Fleet) flowed and the cafeteria became noisy.

"The other day, the Gla Vulcan Empire lost hundreds of ships when the main fleet of the Gla Vulcan Empire engaged the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the Holy Military Empire Air Battleship fleet at sea southwest of Rodenius.

I'll tell you again and again ~ "

Dallas was running towards the office.

"Stupid!! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!!"

I rushed into the office and tried to pick up the phone to get confirmation from the military.

"Excuse me while I'm eating.The Army is in touch immediately!! "

A good subordinate had already written and shaped the encrypted signal during the meal.Steal sentences from subordinates.

"Nah... nah... what the hell!! Such a thing!!!"

The facts written there were enough to shock Diplomat Dallas.

As I stroke my fingers, I checked again and again to make sure it wasn't wrong.

The feeling of wanting it to be a mistake makes you read the same sentence many times.

And despair was painted.

The tracing finger trembled at the beginning and the paperwork was wet with sweat.

The battle between the Imperial Navy Fleet and Japan was described.

○ 230 Imperial Navy Advance Fleet 1 and 210 Second Advance Fleet destroyed

○ Imperial Navy Fleet retreat in the western waters of the Kingdom of Nahanat

Very damaged. We're in the middle of a detailed investigation.

○ Battleship Glade Atlasters are captured by enemies who engage enemy fleets in the western waters of the Kingdom of Nahanat and endure more than 100 rounds.

○ All Imperial Army Reame Kingdom bases destroyed

○ Unknown Imperial Air Force bombing regiment (not returned)

○ Unknown information about the Imperial Navy Submarine Fleet (not returned)

○ Imperial Army Special Operations Group communication interrupted

The damage was enormous, and there was also a statement that the other party had not been able to destroy or destroy a single ship.

They were unilaterally destroyed without even seeing the enemy...

His back was wet with sweat and his feet were even trembling.

"No way... no way..."

Dallas opens her eyes.

A Japanese diplomat once said:

When the Japanese entered the war, the Gras Vulcan Empire lost without a hand or leg.

When the technology gap opens for more than 70 years...

"What he said... what he said... heh... was it true?!!"

When the base bulkus fell, we thought we could drop a large amount of material.

Although the defeat of the country's Punishment Fleet off the coast of Moo was shocking, the number dispatched in the first place was not enough to target the capital of the big country.

He was probably defeated by the volume and could not discard the possibility of a military strategic mistake.

But this time the Empire was serious.

Whoever looked at it was serious.

That is the fact that he was defeated without hands or feet.

It seems that the Air Battleship of the Holy Military Empire also joined the fight this time, but it was impossible to confirm that it did no harm to the enemy.

"Firstly!! I don't like it... I don't like it!!"

Gentile barbarians who have perished lightly.

It was the overwhelming civilization gap, the military technology gap that made it possible.

There is only one truth to the outcome of this battle.

Japan is overwhelmingly better at military technology.

Our country is strong. That is an undisputed fact.

However, this result is not a random or coincidental move.

I can no longer meditate on the strength of my enemies and continue to believe in the strength of the Empire.

In this state, we may be destroyed just as much as the other barbarians who have been destroyed lightly.

The glorious Gra Vulcus Empire... the historic Gra Vulcus Empire...

"Don't do that... don't do that!!"

He thinks about what he can do.

"If we adopt an assimilation policy..."

Consider the usage of each country that has been considered only land until now.

Dallas kept moving for the future of the Gra Vulcan Empire.

Gra Vulcus Empire Capital Ragna Night

Low atmospheric pressure overwhelms the Imperial Capital, clouds are low and rain pours.

An emergency pre-emperor conference was held in one of the rooms of the residence of Emperor Gra Lukes, the capital Ragna.

At the meeting, it was dark for everyone, especially the upper military facade had a bitter expression.

Focus on Emperor Gra Lukes

Emperor Kurtz

Deputy Secretary of the Imperial Palace, Ordaica

Other heads of ministries, deputy secretaries, and senior officers of the military headquarters line up.

The army also included General Commander Sand Pasta of the military headquarters, the last of the Imperial Three Generals, and Captain Zeeks of the Imperial Defense Force.

"Looks like you've been hit, Sand Pasta.

Let me know what's coming up. "

Warlord Sand Pasta's forehead sweats like a waterfall.

"Ha... hah, now, to rebuild the main fleet, Calline, of course, is instructing the major companies of de Decatheon, Gaels and Beldience to mass produce weapons."

Sand Pasta answers with a trembling voice.

"So?"

"Hah!! Expand your army...."

"That's not what I want to hear."

………

Sand Pasta was silent, so Imperial Defense Captain Sikes began talking.

"This time the Imperial Fleet was at war with Japan and suffered tremendous damage.

Besides, it didn't do much damage to Japan at all.

It is no exaggeration to say that we have only inflicted economic damage of the magnitude of bullet costs and fuel costs.

We judged Japan to be that strong, guided by the rules of past experience.

However, the reality was extraordinary.

Almost everything reported on the absurd front was true.

I assumed it would be quite a powerful country, but I can only say that it was still too sweet... "

As Jeeks tried to keep talking, Emperor Kurtz shouted.

"Idiot!! You can't stop looking too sweet!!

Our country declared war on the world!!

I'm sorry because the enemy was stronger than I thought!!!!!

Speaking of Crown Prince Gra Cabal, the army was relaxed!! "

"The military is never slack.

I have heard that the military has raised objections to the case of Crown Prince Cabal, but there has been a strong request from the Imperial Palace. "

"Gu!! Tell me what to do in the future!!"

"We will continue to strengthen our armaments for a while.We should defend ourselves.

Protecting is easier than attacking.

The only way to respond is to see where the enemy is coming from. "

"What!! The glorious Gra Vulcus Empire will protect you!!"

Anger flies in the conference room.

Everyone shut up when Gra Lukes raised his hand.

"That much... what about Japan?"

"... yes"

"Okay, Sikes, you're in charge of the mainland defense.What do you think will happen next? "

"The performance of Japan's weapons is far beyond expectations.

We didn't even know where to launch the weapon in the first place in this naval battle.

Even the radar is rendered unusable.

Therefore, basically, we don't rely too much on radar in the battle against Japan, but we want to put a large number of airplanes in a direction that knocks down with an overwhelming amount of material after sending out a large number of outposts.

Since the radio may also be disabled, the only way to do this is to perform visual flight and surface suppression sentinel of emitted signals by volume.

We are currently studying the same method of warfare. "

He goes on.

"The enemy is probably attacking Rafal.Since there has been no large-scale landing of enemy army forces, Moo will be the main force, and Japan will be the sub attack.

If Japan's previous tactics were to disable the navy deployed off the coast of Rayfold, weaken the army with air strikes while carrying out a food attack, and finally Moo would invade...

However, even the nearest base in Moo-guk is 800 km from the Rayfold coast.

The combat behavior radius of Japanese fighters is currently under investigation, but if it is more than 800 km, it can be said to be a threat.

However, the navy would be the main force if we were to use our army's food offensive.

We will place a large number of lightning bolts in the waters around the north and seal them off completely. "

"If we seal off the waters around the north, will we struggle in the future with the Holy Military Empire?"

"This is not the situation right now.

As the Captain of the Imperial Guard, the Empire mainland alone needs to be protected from enemy aggression.

For mainland defense, we just want to avoid the fall of Rafal.

If Rayfold doesn't fall, I can assure you the Emperor will be safe. "

When I heard that the Imperial Captain was in danger from the mouth of the Imperial Guard Captain, they all fought.

The Gras Vulcus Empire has won far too much.The ministers' desire to conquer, who were neglected by the army, had to be silent about the results of the naval war.

I understood the dangers of world conquest and further territorial expansion alone.

The sudden entry of the military cadre whispers to General Commander Sand Pasta and Imperial Defense Chief Zeeks.

Sand Pasta's face changed from white to blue.

What's going on?

The Emperor has noticed a change in the Commander of the Army.

"I... no... well..."

Difficult to respond, Warlord, Zekes reported.

"It appears that the second central fleet, the battleship Rigel II, and 12 other ships operating off the Irnetia area were struck by torpedoes.Other ships currently docked are also under attack!!!

Calline's tanker, which was docked, was also attacked.

The enemy appears to be a submarine, but it has not been captured. "

"That's it... you're here?"

Ilnetia is an island on the western side of the Rayfold district of the Moon continent, formerly the Kingdom of Ilnetia, but was forcibly suppressed by the Empire.

Unilateral attacks apparently occurred within the Imperial realm because they were west of Rayfold.

I understand that it is not safe to move freely within the faction zone.

It seems that there is no safe place, and my spine freezes because I may be attacked.

The fact that a man who was moving people on a riding and managing the dead with numbers was struck by the fact that he might join the letter.

We may destroy ourselves who have commanded us to destroy them.

Understood the possibility of death and consolidated everyone.

"It's not necessarily safe here either...."

Emperor Gra Lukes meditates.

"... future operational meetings will be held in the wartime conference room"

If there is an attack in the faction area, we cannot discard the possibility that the enemy will come to the Imperial Capital.

The humiliation of having to flee in the Imperial Capital.

They immediately begin to move to the wartime conference room built underground.

(k) Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces 1st Submarine Group 1st Submarine Team belonging to Wu Base

Jun Ju Ju Makishi

Four of the ships fired fuel in Moo and struck a Gla Vulcan Imperial Fleet off the coast of the former Irnetian kingdom, sinking twelve ships, including one battleship.

The burning flames of the fleet make some the object of fear, and some the light of hope.

The burning red light scorched the Kingdom's night sky red.

Tokyo, Japan

"Nuu... what a thing!!Sorry, please pick up the Japanese diplomat immediately!! "

The defeat of the Imperial Navy's main fleet will be in the ears of Crown Prince Gra Cabal.

In his life in Japan, he felt that he could not beat them in military technology.

"As it stands... my beloved Empire folk will have misfortune!!

It's the Bible here!!God left me here to save the Gra Vulcan Empire!!! "

A slightly overwhelming crown prince, Gra Cabal, became him and began to move to save the Empire.
