Dragon Princess Will Do Her Best To Prevent The World's Destruction

Chapter 6: A Motherly Figure

"For now, why don't we establish outposts? Prioritize supply depots, naval resupply bases, and aerial refueling platforms. We'll worry about the more...militarized bases once we've established a good foothold," I said. "Ah, leave the stuff in space to Horizon. I'm sure she'll do just fine."

I somehow started organizing an entire nation worth of affairs overnight. Mainly the military stuff though, considering most of the economy here was self contained and doesn't need much looking after.

Even the citizens were always happy, so politics were pretty much non existent. Anyway, I was trying my best to keep our military force as passive as possible, picking non aggressive proposals.

And although I did say I was handling Eden's domestic and the minor but still present international affairs—ahem military projection ahem—, it was actually quite alright.

The minor things were sorted out rather quickly by my trusty children, then the important stuff that I would decide usually were between two equally viable options they narrowed down, so my job was rather easy.

Besides, I used to do this stuff back in Brave New World too...though it was much more restricted.

Currently, I was rather worried at how fast Eden is militarizing. I mean, we were pretty much a disarmed nation with stockpiles up till a few days ago, you know?

I was pretty sure Rin would have been able to mobilized the entire modern army in an hour if I really had agreed to her suggestion of me bringing the entire MAF that day.

The day after I returned from the city trip, the MAF were already at eighty percent combat readiness, and the other twenty percent were only missing due to the fact that I hadn't given them permission to reactive the nuclear arsenal! And don't get me started on the Old Guard, the intelligence bunch, or the Imperial Armada...

Honestly, if I were to order a full scale mobilization right now, it would be ready in thirty minutes. I wonder if they have been moving without my orders...nah, that can't be. Worst case scenario would be they misunderstood something I said.

Either way, I wasn't planning on invading the world! Can't you guys just let me enjoy my transported into another world adventure? I have an overpowered body, so this was a rare opportunity, you know?

"Rin," I sighed as I my eyes fell on a document. "How many times have I said? I'm not approving the usage of the nuclear arsenal except for the use of nuclear power."

"But princess!" Rin objected with a pout. "Then why do Horizon's ships get outfitted with standard nuclear munitions!? The Old Guard's mages also have enough firepower to contest with nuclear explosions!"

She was right, but that didn't mean her argument was valid. I was mostly worried about her backstory. Because among the massive lines of text, there was one that described Rin as 'have a tendency to be a bit ruthless when devising stratagems'...and I didn't want to risk her nuking this world. In the first place, I absolutely have to stop conflict from breaking out in the first place.

"...If you're that insistent on it," I sighed. "I'll allow nuclear munitions no larger than that of a tactical scale. Any type of strategic nukes are strictly off limits for you. Even if I did say you're allowed to arm the MAF with nuclear ammunition, my stance on the issue is clear. All types of nuclear offensive power is banned, be it MAF or otherwise. If you prove to me that you are able to exercise restraint...then I'll consider lifting the ban on strategic nukes."

"I...understand," Rin accepted the compromise.

I sighed again, I'm sighing a lot lately aren't I, as I happened upon the next document, "Proposals for invasion plans..."
