Comprehensive Comics KanColle: Building a Dimensional Empire from Scratch

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

"Commander, the shogunate's diplomats request a meeting."

"He said he had something important to discuss."

A communication came from Befa.

"Oh?"

Lu Chen perked 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 host a banquet for you?"

"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, Covey and others all seemed a little strange.

“Kabukicho.”

A few words popped 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 Taiho was there..."

"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 ceremonies, high-ranking officials, customs and specialties. You just need to answer whether you accept or reject it."

"Don't think too much, 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 resources of the island nation 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 close, so you're the first."

Lu Chen stood up and gestured for the guest to be seen off.

"No other country on this earth can escape, whether it is 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 should mine, those who should farm should farm, and those who should fish should 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 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 textile industry.

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 the 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 the 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 producing area to provide materials for the development of his own civilization.

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

It is stupid and unprofitable 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 the information we 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 Port 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 and a huge mushroom cloud at night. 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 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 those 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 follow the arrangements of the suzerain state in all future affairs."

"Very good, you guys are very appreciative."

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 at your own risk."

His words were so powerful that the shogunate officials could only nod in agreement.

Only after they watched 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.

"The direction they are heading... is Eagle Family Castle?!"

……

After including the island country in the tribute scope, the fleet continued to set sail.

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

At that time, there was no organization like the United Nations on Earth, so it could only be conquered 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 mighty force 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 components and collectively removed from the navy's roster.

The fleet arrived at the gates of Washington, and the tributary country 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 most powerful Royal Navy in the world today 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, some are agricultural, 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 things 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."

Lu Chen patted Richelieu on the shoulder.

"Mission completed, prepare to return."

"We now have the resources of two worlds. After entering the interstellar era, we may be able to develop two or more universes."

Chapter 40: Ship Girl Flying Soldiers!

Swah——

With the opening of the space-time channel.

Lu Chen and his group returned to their own world again.

Blue sky, blue sea and gentle breeze.

The air quality of the undeveloped Earth alone is several levels better than that of Demon Slayer.

That place is in the early industrial age, with absolutely no environmental awareness, and the PM2.5 level has probably already exceeded the limit.

"We've been gone for over a month. I wonder if everyone is doing okay?"

"How is Yixian managing this place? She should be fine. No one will come to attack us anyway..."
