Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"The danger is high, but the battle is short, the time is safe instead of the time. Which strategy is better?"

Bartolo said at a joint military congress with the king of Evil.

First of all, you have to listen to both to understand.

"Please explain"

"After being on the plateau, the Zoldias army would run away with a tail if we showed him a chance to attack. He would pursue a battle deep inside the kingdom of Zoldias ..."

Bartolo points at the map spread out on the desk.

I drew a circle just below the kingdom of Zoldias.

"Would you like to invade the territory of the Zordias friendly or allied nations, small and small nations and lords around here, and provoke Zordias and drag it to the flatlands?"

King Zoldias's strategy is known from the failure of King Evil's country.

He drags into a mountainous area where the number of soldiers is difficult to use, and takes advantage of the land to siege and surprise.

Do you dare to challenge this, or do you tenaciously drag it to a level ground and make a decisive battle?

Is that either?

"I have time to spare. I want to be safe. King Evil, what do you think?"

"It's better not to repeat the same mistake."

Alright, that's the rule.

As a result of the army, it was decided to split the army.

First, the Rossais-Evil Allied Forces, led by Bartolo.

This is an army that camps on the plain near the border between King Evil and the kingdom of Zoldias, and looks at Zoldias. About 10,000.

Another is a separate riot squad led by Ron, Rosward and Gram. About 10,000.

Its main role is to attack the surrounding kingdoms of King Zordias and drag Zordias out of the mountains.

It is a bad idea to bisect the army, but both are above Zoldias' total strength.

It doesn't matter much.

"You are at the heart of the strategy ... but you don't have to be too enthusiastic. Stay calm."

I encouraged them.

The three finally command over 10,000 soldiers.

I have no choice but to worry.

I hope they can do it.

"Okay, there is a manual."

Ron showed me a bundle of paper.

This bundle is an army manual created by Bartolo. Another name is "If you read this, you will be a great shogun from now on.

How to choose camps, creation criteria, marching speed, how to choose battlefields, etc. ...

It is determined in detail.

It is different from a military law book. It is an operation manual.

All three have already read and memorized the advanced episodes, but ... well they will review before fighting.

"I don't know if there will be armed conflicts in the first place. I urge me to surrender in diplomatic negotiations."

Iar told me to calm down.

Who was war, a means of diplomacy ...?

We can achieve our goal by dragging Zordias to level ground.

Even if we don't fight directly, it would be good if the nations surrendered under the military pressure.

In the battle of words Iaal, in the battle with weapons Ron and three others.

Provoking Zoldias.

Bartolo turns Zoldias out of numbness into Bokoska on level ground.

...... By the way, I am going to return to the kingdom of Rossais.

This is because the country has not yet been stabilized, and is now in the process of breaking down the ass.

I can't afford to fight outside the country and I have to help Raymond.

At this rate, Raymond will die from overwork.

There is also the pregnancy of Yulia and Tetra.

I want to be with a little emotionally unstable two people.

"I asked you."

I left the kingdom of Evil.

Thus, behind the Zoldias War, the first Western conquest began.

"Did you return at last. Without the Majesty's coming, the defeat of the Ass would not progress."

"Bad, don't struggle"

I thank Raymond.

Lymond is a member of the Rhosais clan. To negotiate with As Clan, my power, Tetra's husband with As Clan's wife, is essential.

"But the Ath clan is stubborn."

"Because they have a natural ethnicity ..."

My goal is to bring the nobility to the center and make them noble.

Feed on territorial territory, feeding on suffrage for national affairs.

By doing so, the purpose is to consolidate the wealth and military power of the royal family to the king.

But there is one major challenge.

If you are not interested in national politics, it will not be established in the first place.

For example, the Rosais clan originally favored centralization and has been pushing forward since ancient times.

They want aristocrats who can be deeply involved in national politics.

On the other hand, the Clan of Diber has no choice.

As long as I'm destroyed by Ribel Dibel, the family of the Dibel family, I have no choice but to ask my mood and try to secure my life and property.

They know that if they disagree, they will lose everything, so they stay obedient.

But the As Clan is different.

The Clan of As is proud to be the winner of the previous civil war, and at the same time, there is a sense of security that Tetra, the only surviving family of the Clan of As, is the wife of the king.

And it is a group of people who are not interested in government and do not want to let go of their ancestral land.

Nevertheless, the Clan Ass is the second most powerful clan in our country.

Without their understanding and cooperation, the story will not proceed.

"Some of them are conditional on Prince Ankh's throne ..."

"I can't accept that ..."

Selling a quarrel with the first faction to take in the second faction is no use.

Moreover, it leaves behind the roots of trouble.

If any master failed on the successor problem, he would be a dark one.

"Is it a weak condition to take over debt?"

"It's tough. It's a push."

It's difficult ...

Foreigners who are clearly enemies are easier to understand.

When asked if the Clan of As is an enemy or an ally, they will definitely be an ally.

You can judge by the blessing of the great king, but you can see that he has pledged his loyalty to me and that he is showing respect.

He cooperated with the war so far.

But that's another story if you can let go of your vested interests.

I have the benefits of the past, and I want to solve them comfortably and after convincing them.

"Is it possible to increase the size of the land recognized as a manor and get major Australians in key positions?"

"But adding more manor gardens will be a tumor for our country later, and the number of jobs will be limited."

Well, that's a problem.

"I think it will be possible to reduce the number of mansions later by inciting the commoners. The number of jobs is ... what to do?"

That's right ...

With the opposite idea ...

"Let's aim at smaller ethnic minorities rather than major ethnic minorities. How about giving them jobs as local officials in the occupied territories? That would make life more stable ..."

The income of small tribes is not stable. It's covered with debt.

And they are unlikely to advance.

If you give a stable job, you will soon be eating.

Ali may be appointing a tax collector.

Japan currently has a tax collector system.

The job of a tax collector is very lucrative.

If a certain amount of tax is governed by the country, the surplus can be saved.

Well, ordinary people have the right to sue the contractor in court, and if they are sued and succumbed to the court, they will be forfeiting all of the contractor's property, so it can't be messed up.

By the way, local officials and contractors are different jobs.

Local officials are in charge of administration and security in the area, and serve one to two years.

The contractor is a part-time job.

The purpose of this separation is to prevent contractors from taking advantage of profits.

Local sources are financed by redistributing taxes collected from across the country.

However, local politics is appropriate in the first place.

Roads and bridges are maintained by the military, and security is basically maintained by vigilantes.

As soon as the bandits come out, the army comes in from the center and exterminates them.

At best, they will tell the state of the region to the central government, prevent the contractors from exploiting them, take charge of the case, and conduct a national investigation when an order is issued.

Japan is a small government that does only the bare minimum.

Is it appropriate and appropriate? As you might think, it is more costly and time-consuming to leave the details to the village's self-government, centered on influential people such as the village chief.

Quiet talk rest.

"It may be a good idea. If the majority of the tribes follow, they will have to accept it."

"And maybe it's a good idea to have a term for some key positions, so you can take turns taking turns."

Rather than fighting for blood in the scramble for posts, it is more stable to take turns to get the politics stable.

Only in case of emergency, it is sufficient to issue a law that can extend the term of office.

What is more important in peacetime is to avoid the turmoil and stagnation of national politics due to fights for success, rather than keeping talented people in key positions.

"The outside will be managed by Bartolo and Iar. Now look inside. Let's get centralized soon. Hopefully later this year."

Let's aim for "Founding" around the New Year.

"Can you somehow make Anks-sama the next king ..."

Several royals were gathering and discussing at a royal residence in the kingdom of Rossais.

Their immediate concern is the centralization policy of King Almus.

Although part of the large territory for King Almus, it is an ancestral land that has been around since ancient times.

The land that our ancestors have cleared by sweating can not be handed over easily.

However, they had no intention of rebelling against King Almus.

He acknowledges the king's abilities and understands that his policy is essential for the country to come.

But we are still royal.

At least I want to get good conditions.

One of the conditions is to produce a king from their clan.

"If the next son of Julia was a boy, Ankhs would lose her throne ..."

"Huh ... If Tetra-sama is aggressive, there is a hand ...

If Tetra were to say, "King the Ankhs! Absolutely! Yulia die!", The Clan Ass can unite and hang with the kings to make the Ankhs king.

In that case, the king would have to concession.

At the very least, we can hope for a concession that allows for the possibility of succession.

However, Tetra and Yulia are on good terms, and Tetra is reluctant.

In this case, the Clan of Ass cannot help unity.

The current Clan of Ass is divided into a number of moderates who want the Ankhs to dominate the Ass clan and serve the next king, and a few extremists who want to make the Ankhs king.

Of course, there are a few militants here.

"What should I do……"

As the nations were worried, knocks on the door sounded in the room.

The man who is the owner of this building asks for his business annoyedly.

"What!"

"A Christian merchant is coming."

"……Do you get it"

Debt collection.

"Huh ..."

The tribe sighed.
