Otherworld Nation Founding Chronicles

"Is this a five-stage oar?

I looked up at a five-row paddle purchased from the Persis Empire.

Many of the Greek controlled cities, such as Lezard, have three-stage ships, but they are much larger.

Just because it is used, scratches are noticeable in some places ...

"I think that's good enough. That's why this kind of wound doesn't get in the wound."

Alexios, who had confirmed the ship, told me so.

I let Ains, a merchant, make sure that she didn't grab a bad product ...

Is it such a good thing?

"I wonder why I sell at such a low price."

"Everything seems to make something that isn't a ten-row boat."

Ships are completely unprofessional ...

Is it twice as large as five steps, so can it simply be twice as large?

At least it's clear that it's bigger than a five-rower.

The bigger the boat, the more rowers and speed.

If the speed increases, you will be able to stand up with an impact charge.

Also, the larger and heavier the ship, the better its defense.

Therefore, at the time the ten-stage oars were implemented, some five-stage oars would not be useful.

"... I don't mean that anything should be bigger, but if you make it 10 steps, you won't be able to turn it around. Well, Persis will know that. I want to believe that there will be no violence. "

"For now, we're going to leave some three-stage and five-stage oars.

Similar to light infantry guarding the side of heavy infantry.

I think.

Surprisingly, naval and land battles may not be different.

"I'm the opposite of anything that isn't a ten-row paddle. Unless you have a few floating as a flagship, it would be more useful to make more than three or five tiers with the time and materials needed to make ten tiers. I think. "

"Well, I can't handle a ten-row paddle in Japan at all."

The larger the ship, the more difficult it becomes to handle.

Japan cannot have that many sailors.

There are many people who paddle.

"By the way, are the ship standardization and mass production going well?"

"It seems like we've been doing well as before."

What is unification of ship standards?

Well, in short, the idea is to unify the size and design of the ship as it is.

In this world, ships are all made to order.

Ship carpenters build the ship according to the needs of the people who ordered it.

I feel that this method is advantageous because sometimes an appropriate ship can be made.

But that is wrong.

This is because if the bespoke ship breaks, only the creator can fix it completely.

In addition, the price of each ship jumps.

Inevitably, the number of ships built will decrease.

And this tendency is great in the cities of Greece.

In the same country, the details are different but the rough construction is similar.

But all the Christian cities are independent city-states ...

City-states are building completely different ships.

Of course, if each country is competing, it is not a bad thing for each to show their own uniqueness and win.

But now they are all unified in Romania.

The national government wants to have a certain standard because it is going to build military ships or state-owned transport ships.

That's why we try to standardize ships.

Alexius ...

It is supposed that this is actually done by Christians such as Lezad.

For some reason, the Christians seemed to find it advantageous to unify their ships.

But that is not possible with competing countries.

It is impossible to combine shipbuilding techniques, which can be said to be the heart of the country.

But at the moment all the Christian cities have joined the Kingdom of Romania and the Commonwealth of Romania, this is possible.

It is inevitable that he was ordered by King Almus.

With that excuse, they were willing to standardize.

In fact, the biggest challenge with standardization was the unification of metrology.

It took a lot of time to unify this, as every city-state had adopted a different metrology.

However, once the metrology is unified, it is not so difficult.

After all, the same ship.

The details are different, but the basic structure is the same.

Currently, the company is aiming to establish a mass production system.

In recent years, demand for ships has been increasing.

The trade area of the East Tethys Sea, which had been robbed by Pofenia, has gradually begun to return to the hands of the Christians.

The Persian Empire has reduced the power of the Christian nations by bringing shipbuilders to the mainland of the Persis empire, preventing the revolts of the Greek cities.

On the other hand, it recommends the business of Christian merchants.

This seems contradictory, but not contradictory.

In short, buy a ship from the Persian Empire and don't make it yourself. That's it.

However, the Persian Empire is not rich in timber resources, and warships are the priority.

When it comes to where to buy a ship ...

Becomes

Pofenia?

No, I hate Pofenia because I hate it.

Then ...

A Christian Romanian! !

That is why a ship made in Japan is now floating in the East Tethys Sea.

In addition, the export of rock salt, cannabis, wine and olive oil from Japan to Persis and Pofenia has recently become popular.

In ancient times, the trading hubs for Christian merchants were Clarisse or Alto (both cities on the mainland of the Greek peninsula) ... but now they are moving to Lezad.

Well, that is why Japan's maritime trade is developing.

Fortunately, the timber for building many ships is rotten.

So, in order to catch up with the increasing demand, increase the supply ... in short, lead to the idea of mass production.

As mentioned earlier, the ship is basically made to order.

That is, the carpenter adjusts the length of lumber and nails for the ship only.

Certainly this will make a good thing, but it will take time.

So, let's build a ship with a division of labor.

The timber for ships is processed to a certain size, transported to the leather and then combined with the leather according to the standard.

The work of a shipwright becomes only assembly.

Until now, we couldn't do that because the standards of the ship were different.

This is now possible by standardizing ship standards and narrowing down thousands of ships to dozens.

"In five years, I think it will probably exceed the number of Pofenian ships built."

"I don't know how much it is."

Pofenia is the largest marine power in the Tethys Sea.

I don't think the army country can compete with Japan ...

"No, the shipbuilding industry in Pofenia isn't as strong. In fact, despite the technology, the wood is running out."

"I see. If I cross Pofenia, I'm genuine, Japan is a maritime power."

At that time, I can surely beat Pofenia ...

Maybe.

Meanwhile, at that time.

The Senate of Pofenia, a southern economic power, was in dispute.

"Azul Hanno, this is your responsibility ... how do you intend to take responsibility?"

"... I don't understand the meaning. What is it?"

There was a man in pursuit of Azul Hanno, the leader of the plaintiff, landlord and aristocracy interests representative.

Large, blonde, skin tanned and dark.

When the Romanian nobles see him, they will know at a glance.

He is his father.

Sear Barca, the President of the Coast Party and a representative of the commoners and merchants

He is the head of Barka and the real father of Alexios.

A Povenian hero who has repeatedly defeated barbarians on the battlefield, expanded Pofenian colonies, and contributed to the development of Pofenia.

The war ahead ... The Barkas' powers have begun to fade after Kepka Barka's failure to penetrate the Adernia, but ...

However, with the support of the thick commoners, the power was starting to pick up again.

And now, the Coast Party, led by the Barkas, is once again overwhelming the Plain Party.

"The war ahead ... The Adernia war. Our country was unable to intervene in the Adernia war due to your promise of non-intervention with King Almus and allowed the Romanian kingdom to grow. A huge military state has been born on the Adernia Peninsula. ''

Pofenia is an economic powerhouse.

However, being an economic power does not mean that the army is strong.

Due to the country's reliance on the army for mercenaries, the army is not strong enough for flattering.

"In addition to the hegemony of Trisiceria, the territorial rights of the Mercina Strait and even the trade area of the Tethys Sea are at stake !!!! This is your responsibility! Azul Hanno!"

That's it! That's it! !

More than half of the lawmakers shout loudly in tune with Ceal Barca.

"... The Mercina Strait has been decided to be under the control of both sides, and the trade area of the West Tethys Sea has been negotiated with our goods. Our national interests will not be lost. Did you win by intervening in the Adernia War? It is new to remember that you defeated General Alexius of the Romania in the previous war. "

That's it! That's it! !

Along with Azul Hanno, the other half is shouting loudly.

However……

"Well? Won't national interest be lost? You don't know that our country is currently being pushed in the East Tethys Sea? By the Christian Romanians!"

"that is……"

Azul Hanno silences after being hurt.

Because it is an unmistakable fact.

However, it cannot be said that the Adernia War is directly related.

In the first place, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the nations of Greece have begun to recover from the Persian War.

"Romalia says he has purchased a warship from Persis. And although it is a merchant ship, he has begun to mass-produce the ship. This is a trishkelia island. The desire of the king is increasing day by day! That man's desire will not stop !!!! In this state, our country will be drunk by King Almus's desire! "

Ceal Barca long addresses the threat of the Romanian kingdom.

In addition, the members of the Coast Party scream, yes.

The members of the Political Party are swallowed up and cannot even fly.

… No, they have a sense of crisis about the expansion of the Romania kingdom.

So, some members of the Plain Party shout as well as members of the Coast Party.

"Do not allow the Romanian kingdom to grow anymore !!"

Thus, the Plain Party led by Azul Hanno loses initiative in Pofenia ...

The coastal party, led by Sear Barka, has taken the initiative of Pofenia.

Emerging countries in the north that plan to advance into the oceans: agriculture, army, and Romania.

It is a southern great power, a commercial nation, a naval nation, and a republic, Pofenia, trying to protect vested interests.

The conflict between the two is inevitable in history.

When deciding on sex, it's close.
