Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch.

Using a torpedo boat to board an aircraft carrier is too Showa-style.

Perhaps a decision would have been made twenty years later, but the military during the Taisho era did not have such advanced ideas.

The atmosphere is not good.

"..."

"If strong measures are unacceptable, we might try to win over the fleet commander."

The Shogun pondered for a moment.

"Let's find a way to talk to him again. Maybe there's still a chance to discuss the contents of the treaty."

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Chen yawned and walked out of the bedroom on the Richelieu ship.

On the shore not far away, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums.

A military band in formal attire was playing below.

A man who looked like an official was waiting respectfully at the port with two teams of followers.

"Commander, a diplomat from the shogunate requests a meeting."

"He said he had something important to discuss."

A communication came from Befa.

"Oh?"

Lu Chen cheered himself up a little and received the group in the reception room.

"General, this is a small gift from the shogunate."

The diplomat clapped his hands, and the attendants beside him brought up several boxes.

It was filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

It can be seen that the shogunate has accumulated some savings over the years.

"Ah."

Lu Chen didn't say yes or no, he just nodded.

"Also, General, you have come from afar, and the shogunate is deeply sorry that we were unable to welcome you."

"If you don't mind, how about I take you on a tour of the city tonight and then treat you to a banquet?"

"Ichibangai is quite popular among both locals and foreigners. I wonder if the General is interested?"

The diplomats sent by the shogunate were courteous and showed the humility unique to the islanders.

"What is Ichibangai?"

Richelieu, Befa, Coward and others were all a little surprised.

“Kabukicho.”

A few words came out of Dafeng's mouth.

She looked at the newcomer with ill intent, poked Lu Chen, and asked in a low voice:

"Commander, you don't want to go to that kind of place, do you? It would be great if we had Taiho..."

"I am not interested."

Lu Chen refused outright.

He is not Cao Gong, who would ask "Are there any skilled women in the city?" before arriving in a city.

"I have no interest in your diplomatic rituals, high-ranking officials, customs and specialties. All you need to do is accept or reject."

“Don’t overthink, and don’t do unnecessary things. It’s meaningless.”

"Please go back and let the shogunate think about it carefully."

"!!!"

The diplomat was stunned, and all the speeches he had prepared were instantly blocked in his mouth.

From the beginning to the end, the other party's attitude was very firm and they had no intention of negotiating at all.

He swallowed a few times and then asked hoarsely:

"Why... did you choose us?"

"The island nation's resources are not abundant. Even as a tributary state, what it can provide each year is very limited. If you want an overseas market, other countries should be more suitable..."

"You're closer, so you're first."

Lu Chen stood up and gestured for the guest to leave.

"No other nation on this planet will be able to escape. Whether it's the British Empire or the natives of the African savannah, they will all become tributary states of the Alliance in the future."

"Those who should mine will mine, those who should farm will farm, and those who should fish will fish. You all have a bright future."

Chapter 39 Lu Chen Speeds Through the World

Of course, Lu Chen’s ambition is not as simple as conquering an island country.

There was originally a shortage of materials here, and most of the coal, metal minerals, rubber, etc. relied on imports. There was no high-tech in the Taisho era.

In addition to fishing, production activities include agriculture and textiles.

The earth of this era is undergoing a turbulent and drastic change.

The British Empire had completed the Second Industrial Revolution and was expanding its sphere of influence around the world, and was at its peak.

Eagle Castle was transforming from an agricultural country to an industrial country, ushering in a golden period of development after the end of the Civil War.

The Qing Dynasty struggled to survive in the midst of turmoil.

Natives on the African savannah are watching giant crocodiles baring their teeth and picking cotton on a plantation.

If I had not interfered, the Earth would probably have gone through two world wars, the East-West Cold War, and then formed a situation of one superpower and many strong countries, just like the Earth in my previous life.

After all, in the world of Demon Slayer, the existence of "demons" is just a small episode in the development of civilization.

But he intends to take complete control of this place and use this world as a resource source to provide materials for the development of his own civilization.

Of course, it is a sustainable way of exhausting resources, using advanced technology to improve productivity here while harvesting the resources here.

It is not worthwhile to plunder a wave of leeks and run away.

……

Two days later.

A piece of news from Sasebo Port broke through the shogunate's last psychological defense.

"According to information received from the Demon Slayer Corps and the locals, not long ago, the Alliance Fleet wiped out all the 'Demons' near Kyushu."

"They almost razed Sasebo Harbor to the ground, and the flames burned for days without being extinguished."

"In addition, some residents claimed to have seen a dazzling explosion like the sun at night, as well as a huge mushroom cloud. The surrounding terrain was permanently changed..."

The photos sent over showed the power of the Alliance Fleet in a shocking way.

Although the shogunate did not care much about the existence of "demons", the Demon Slayer Corps was just a civilian organization in their eyes.

But the force that is powerful enough to flatten mountains and completely wipe a city off the map is real!

For the first time, everyone felt the huge gap in military power between them and modern civilization.

Once the enemy launches an attack, the entire Kyoto, no, even several coastal cities, will be destroyed in an instant.

The generals, staff, civil and military ministers of the entire shogunate broke out in cold sweats when they looked at the photos.

Looking at each other in silence.

There were no words, no possibility of resisting such an attack.

step-step-

Lu Chen appeared in the hall again.

"Have you thought about it?"

He looked at everyone and asked.

"..."

"We accept your terms, General."

The Shogun paused for a moment and answered with difficulty.

He had an extremely grim expression as he signed his name on the document and stamped it.

"The Shogunate is willing to become a tributary state under the Star Alliance and will obey the arrangements of the suzerain in all future affairs."

"Very good, you guys are kind enough to show your appreciation."

Lu Chen accepted the document.

"I will set up a management agency here, and every quarter, I will collect supplies from you in proportion."

"Please prepare in advance and do not delay, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

What he said was so powerful that the shogunate officials could only nod in agreement.

Only after watching the fleet set sail again and leave Tokyo Bay did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way..."

Looking at the back of the fleet, an official suddenly remembered something.

"Their direction... is Eagle Family Castle?!"

……

After including the island nation in the tribute area, the fleet continued to set sail.

Head east along the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of Yingjiabao.

At this time, there was no organization like the United Nations on Earth, so the conquest could only be carried out one country at a time.

"America is a country of freedom and equality. We have just freed ourselves from the slavery of the British Empire and refuse to become a vassal of any country!!!"

Eagle Castle led a large number of ironclad ships and armored cruisers to block the Alliance fleet in the coastal areas.

A day later, all the major fleets were broken down into molecules and collectively removed from the navy's roster.

The fleet arrived at the gates of Washington, and the tributary state was increased by 1.

After that, the white man and Brother Ni picked cotton together on the plantation, and Lu Chen discriminated against them equally.

"The Royal Navy is invincible. No one can challenge the majesty of the British Empire!"

At the mouth of the Thames, the world's most powerful Royal Navy challenged Lu Chen.

Two days later, the Alliance Eagle Flag was raised at Buckingham Palace, and the Tributary State increased by 2.

"Fvrentibvs-Eminet-Avstris, France will never surrender."

Half a day later, the battleship Richelieu sailed south along the Seine River and bombarded the Palace of Fontainebleau. The whole of France flew white flags, and the number of tributary states increased by 3.

……

Within a month, most of the major countries on Blue Star became tributary states through diplomatic pressure or physical negotiations.

The fleet had inadvertently accomplished a feat: conquering the entire world.

"Commander, how should we manage this world from now on?"

Richelieu looked at the countries marked on the map and rubbed his temples in pain.

These countries have different levels of development, some are industrial countries, some are agricultural countries, and their languages ​​and customs vary.

Even in modern times, mankind has not established a unified world government, let alone in the early 20th century?

"Of course, we should let them do their own thing and become our rear-line resource base."

"After the interstellar era, we can just send some people to unify this place and establish an Earth government."
