28 Imperial Dismay 3 (1/2)
The kingdom of Fen, offshore of Nishinomiyako
A large fleet of 284 ships, including the Emperor Papardia and 183 battleships of the Imperial Army, was transitioning to combat in order to shoot 16 oncoming Japanese troops.
A 100-class battle fleet, which is a crystal of the powerful Imperial technology and pride, comes forward.
General Sius, aboard the Super F-class battleship Pearl, the largest and most powerful of the Parpaldia Empire, commanding a large fleet, looks out at the Japanese army.
The flagship is located in the center of the fleet and takes command.
”Dalda, do you think you can win?”
Ask the captain Dalda who stands next to him.
”With such a large fleet and the latest battleships, we won't lose against the famous Zero Mage Fleet of the Holy Military Empire.
The quality and quantity of battleships determine the strength of a naval battle.
The highest quality of the third civilization zone and the number exceeding the number of 183 battleships do not exist here. ”
The story continues.
”Even if the performance of a Japanese ship surpassed me, a small number of guns and just 16 wouldn't do anything.”
Captain Dalda shows absolute confidence.
The battle line fleet uses the wind power of tears of the god of god with maximum power, receives the wind full of sails, and tears off the waves.
The Japanese army moves in a row.
General Sius watches the Japanese army.
Japanese ships are bigger than I have ever seen.
Only one gun is installed in front of the ship.
Judging from the size of the gun, it may be close to the rotating turret of battleship La Kasami, a powerful civilian in the second civilization zone.
Japanese ships do not have sails, just like the battleship La Kasami, which I have seen in the past.
I have a bad feeling.
The power per shot seems to be greater than our 100-class battleship.
However…….
”It's fast.”
The speed of the enemy ship is far from the common sense of the ship that you know.
If it ’s so fast, it ’s hard to hit the magic gun.
”Well, is that the same for the enemy ...”
The distance to the Japanese army is less than 10km.
Tension runs.
”Hmm!!??”
The muzzle of the ship in the front row of the Japanese army emits light and smoke.
”Enemy ship firing !!”
”I'm still 10km away. What ritual?”
”Are you going to be intimidated?”
Fire from a distance where the shell should never reach.
General Sius and Captain Darda cannot measure the intentions of the Japanese army.
Suddenly, light shines on the 100-class battleship that was ahead of the Imperial Army.
The shell fired from the 127mm single-armed rapid fire gun of the Aegis ship Kongo landed accurately on the Imperial Army of Papaldia and the 100-class battleship of the Imperial Army, easily penetrated the steel-armor armor, and exploded in the magazine.
The explosion pressure goes from the inside to the outside and penetrates upwards while crushing the wooden part.
The ship raises a magnificent fire pillar at the top, breaks in half and sinks.
”Battleship Louple roaring !!”
Stunned ...
”What ... what ...!?”
General Sius and Captain Darda have difficulty understanding the reality at hand.
group! group! ! group! ! ! group! ! ! !
”Continuous firing of enemy ships !!”
”Well ... what a speed of loading !!!!”
A fire pillar rises continuously in front of the fleet.
”Battleship Mishra, Recine, Ction, Paz roaring !!”
There are too many boats sinking, so we cannot report in time.
The enemy ship is still far from our range.
”Enemy ship, change course!”
Continue firing guns and enemy ships turn to their fleets. The distance is about 6km.
The enemy also attacks the subsequent ships, increasing the shooting density.
A friendly ship that has all hits and sinks by the number of firing sounds.
”What magic is hitting all bullets !!”
”Is there such a reality ... !!!!”
General Sius is hit with a flash, along with strong shaking and shock, and is hit against the wall.
”Born on port !!!!”
A large hole opens in the left flank of the 120-class battleship Pearl.
The seawater flowed into the ship, and the pearl that had lost its balance gradually began to tilt, capsized, and slowly sank due to the weight of the armor.
General Sius floats in the sea.
Catch by the flowing wood, watch the Imperial Army from the sea.
In an incredible amount of time, no large fleet of Emperor Papardia, the strongest nation in the third civilization, has disappeared with sea debris.
The Imperial Army of Papardia, 284, engaged 16 Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force escort ships and lost all 284 ships.
A few hours later, the remaining Imperial Army in Nishinomiyako lost its mainstay, and surrendered to the Royal Army of Fen, who came to recapture Nishinomiyako.
In commemoration of this day, Nishinomiyako in the Kingdom of Fen will hold an annual fire pillar festival to burn trees in the shape of a boat.

Emperor Papardia Est Silant
In the Office of the First Foreign Affairs Bureau, discussions on future measures against Japan were being held with Alde, the highest commander of the army.
Normally, the commander of the army and the Imperial Remir should not intervene in about one barbaric nation outside the civilized territory. Is also higher.
Elt, First Director of Foreign Affairs, speaks.
”It's about time the Imperial Land Squadron will drop Amanoki, the capital of the Kingdom of Fen. Are you sure you want to kill local Japanese tourists, Remir?”
”Good. This time we can secure more Japanese.
It seems that barbarians need to be well educated to understand.
… The Japanese of Nishinomiyako killed too easily.
Alde, be careful to suffer a little more now. ”
”Yes, I understand.”
”And then ...
knock Knock.
The door is knocked and the talk is interrupted.
”Get in!!!”
Deputy Director Hans enters the room while sweating.
”I thought it was rude because it was relevant to this meeting, but I brought the document.”
The complexion is not good.
Deputy Director Hans submits a letter to Director Elt.
”Emergency Survey Report”
About 5 simple reports written on it are placed on the desk.
Deputy Director Hans gives an oral summary of the report.
”This is a report of the fact that the second civilization-level power, Mu, dispatched spectators to the Japanese side regarding the battle in the Kingdom of Fen, after confirming the fact with Ambassador Mu and investigating its intentions.”
”Um”
The First Foreign Affairs Bureau, which knew that Mu had dispatched spectators to the Japanese side, could not measure Mu's intentions.
Some say that Japan may have a new magic that Mu is noticing.
Accordingly, he was dispatched to Japan even if he was prepared for the death of a watching military officer ...
However, it was strange that he would not have been dispatched to the Imperial side, so he was checking.
”In conclusion, Mu has determined that Japan will win the fight in the Kingdom of Fen.”
”What! ! ! !
Elt, First Director of Foreign Affairs, Imperial Remir, and Arde, chief of the army, speak at the same time.
”Hans! What is it !?”
”Mu has analyzed this information and believes that Japan will win this battle.”
Silence ...
”No way ...”
Army chief commander Alde begins to speak.
”Perhaps this is a hypothesis, but did Japan originally intend to have an all-out war with the Empire? And preparations were already well underway.
There, the Imperial Army sensed that he was heading for the Kingdom of Fen, and may have sent thousands of ships and over 100,000 armies.
The Japanese military has analyzed that there are gunboats in Japan.
The technical level is generally considered to be weak in the civilized sphere, and it is analyzed that it is prominently high for civilized sphere foreigners.
Although it is inferior to Japan, thousands of gunboats may be heavily loaded with this dispatched army alone.
Above all, there is a shortage of shells.
Since there are only 3,000 land squadrons, the load is heavy if the enemy army exceeds 50,000.
In any case, General Sius has been dispatched.
If you need reinforcements, they will ask you.
If requested, the Western Fleet will also be sent.
But… Mu had some information ... ”
”If so, will the Imperial Army lose?”
Elt asks.
Alde smiles and answers.
