The New World 2206 (Japan Summon)

16: Overflowing Schemes

The true age of distinction between civilized and non civilized is marked by the proof of ones Magic Industry. The Third Civilization despite only being a step above the rest of the outside Civilized lands had finally fully industrialized with at the forefront the Imperialist Parpaldia De Philades or Imperial Parpaldia of Philades.

Horse carriages were slowly becoming a thing of the past as export models filled the market and local design was beginning to take root.

For a street cleaner like Celgaia he couldn't honestly believe the change in his job routine. Nowadays he only had to focus on sweeping the streets of the naval bases unlike before where he had to manually clean every manure drop on the sidewalk. While he laments his failure to attain a higher posting in the navy he was more or less glad that his dream of owning one of these horseless carriages was near.

"Vice-Admiral Barth has arrived." A Soldier who was taking a break spoke to his friend.

"I heard he was driving this "Car" you know the horseless carriages, not just that it's the first model of Cenue Delarance our nations very own car manufacturer!"

"I'm jealous, unlike the export models from Mu and Milishial, ones from our own are marketed with luxury and comfort in mind."

After eavesdropping on the two young men's conversation Celgaia couldn't help but look down with a little bit of shame. He looked up to the skies wondering where his life went wrong, with a bit of an exhausted sigh that is slowly becoming a routine, he went back to sweeping.

Looking back at his life he sees himself as nothing but a bitter old man who couldn't attain much in life. Just as he laments his position in life a ruckus was happening by the east side of the port. He was curious hence he hurried his sweeps before giving his attention to the commotion.

Laid before his eyes was a metal ship. Much more refined than even their latest Ironclads. The ship was painted white, at first he mistook it for a Milishial Warship so in his excitement rushed to see the World's Strongest Nation and their diplomats.

As he neared something obvious was beginning to take root. There were armed Guards taking caution against the visitors, he found it odd as this was a disrespectful notion to a Superpower's Diplomat but soon he realized why.

Arriving by a crowd of fellow soldiers he managed to hear the words of exchange between the foreign affairs officials.

"Greetings, I'm an Envoy of Japan. Ambassador Eugene Otto and my assistant, Hanes."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Sir Eugene if it is fine to call you that, if you don't mind why don't we..." He makes a gesture to the crowd. "Go somewhere more private to discuss the matters you came here for. Oh by the way, I'm the Department head for the 3rd Foreign Affairs Department, Kaios. Welcome to Parpaldia."

Celgaia didn't understand it then, nor will he ever have dreamed that anyone even the other superpowers could rain fire, topple their proud history and vanquish the brave men and women of Parpaldia with such efficiency that it would put their slaughterhouses to shame nor will he ever expect the people he just saw that day would be the ones to do it.

In the Kingdom of Fenn's Festival 6 JSDF Ships were present. 2 Atago Destroyers 2 Maya Destroyers and 2 Zumwalt Cruisers went into a standby readying possible retaliation. 3 Ships from the JCG 2 were Hamilton class and 1 Mihashi Class.

All of them were exclusively manned by Students in Private Academies. The rotation rate for students was quick as they would only spend a semester or two under the service of ocean going vessels with their finals set for space related experiences.

Due to the recent war professors were encouraged to join their students to guide them in order to maintain discipline and authority.
