　Banerji's foreign policy in the sale of magical tools.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The policy was implemented, though it was modified little by little with opinions from other members of the Diet and others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The government sold magical tools to other countries and organizations to purchase the necessities of life.

　Banagher's idea was to target not only countries but also emerging powers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it is said that there are still objections to this kind of idea.

　They say that it would be unwise to make a deal with someone who would break away from the previous rulers and occupy the city by force.

　I can understand their point of view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know if they can be trusted as a business partner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We don't know if they can pay us properly, or if they can provide us with supplies.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is a possibility that they will betray us or even turn violent against us if the time comes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Many of the participants also expressed the opinion that doing business with such a partner might provoke antagonism from other small countries.

　It would be a loss to jeopardize relations with other countries with which we had already had a good relationship, just to get over the emergency situation of price hikes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think that all of these opinions have a point when I listen to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I still think that we have no choice but to do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because the root of the problem always remains.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The fact is that there is a vein of magical tool production in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As long as this reality exists, that any country could target us at any time and attack us at any time, the Orient will always be in danger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This would be a very big problem compared to the possibility that relations with other countries would deteriorate because of the emerging powers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then, we have no choice but to move, even if we have to accept those losses.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I have a thought after listening to these talks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are too many opinions out there.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is fine to have opinions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is normal that my opinion or Banagher's opinion is wrong and better opinion will come out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I also thought that it would be a problem if someone said something strange to me while we were fighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When we are fighting against a country that attacked us with the Orient army, I wonder if we will be crossed by someone who says that we should not fight with them because they are a friendly country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As you can imagine, if it is an invader, there might not be such a situation, but we can never be sure that there is no such situation.

　The Orient has relationships with various countries, so there will always be a conflict of interest no matter which country you clash with.

"Am I worrying too much?　But when it comes time for the military to move in, it's a hassle just to be told something like that. Can't you do something about it, ay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In such a case, I would think that a celestial kingdom or something like that would be more convenient than a parliamentary Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the Kingdom of the Sky, everything can be decided at the sole discretion of Brother Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it seems to be different in the past, but that's just the way it is now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I've heard that in other countries, it's more difficult because each noble family and knight family under their control have their own power and discretion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even on the battlefield, it is said that it was more like a collection of forces from each house rather than a single army, though the Orient army with a solid unit structure might be better considering that.

"In that case, there is a way to create a National Defense Agency. In the law of the Orient, there is a provision that requires the establishment of an organization with stronger authority in emergencies that threaten the survival of the country. I think it would be a good idea to submit a request by the Chairman and the Protector to the Council."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So if we have this National Defense Agency, we won't be sidetracked?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The authority over national defense will be delegated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Heh. I didn't know there was such a thing. How long is that valid for?　It's only temporary, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. The National Defense Agency is an organization for emergencies. Therefore, if it is determined that there is no emergency, the state of emergency will be lifted and it will be dismantled."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... hmm?　So, if the contingency continues, does that mean the organization will be there for the duration of the contingency?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Affirmative. The current law so stipulates."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oops, I may have found an unexpected loophole.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai is the chairman of the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When we talked to Ai, some interesting information came out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ai is the chairman of the Orient Council, but his work is quite ordinary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He understands all the laws of the Orient more accurately than anyone else in the country, and he enforces them accordingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He does everything according to the law.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the underlying laws have more holes than you might think.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it can't be helped if we say that it can't be helped because they are made by human beings.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is said that even though things that have been done in the past have been done in a rather casual manner, when Ai pointed out the problems, new bills are often made to correct them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, it seems that the current Congress is surprisingly busy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, there seems to be a big hole in the law of this country that has not been corrected yet.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In case of an emergency situation where the country is in danger, an organization with stronger authority can be set up to protect the country.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And it will continue until the state of emergency is resolved.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Incidentally, the final decision on the state of emergency is made by the chairman of the council.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That could be useful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We might be able to make the Orient Army a little easier to use, before we get into trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Realizing this, I have requested that the National Defense Agency be set up.
