It was when Isaac was distracted by the newspaper ‘Hitler is Zeno!’

Numerous readers were treating blood and steel as pure ‘fantasy’, and even if science and thought were exposed, they went on to do so.
There were people who were intensively exploring, but they didn’t fully accept it because it was a story from a completely different world.
A world without mana and magic? Is it only human? It has survived without perishing. Do you think it would be too weak?
The above thoughts were lying on the floor, so even though I was immersed in it, I didn’t take it seriously. For the most part, anyway.
A few people are seriously considering blood and steel.
“Hmmm…”
Among them was Marquis Mathius, one of only three marquis families in the Minerva Empire, and in charge of the border area.
A man with brown hair grown like a lion’s mane, tied in the tail, and a long cut on his cheek exudes an image of a beast.
Gerd ben Matius. He was currently watching the ending of Blood and Steel Volume 2.
‘There will be a revolt.’
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Marquis thought so, and lightly closed the book. The Weimar Republic without an army and a chaotic social atmosphere.
Finally, a revolutionary who appears like a comet and is called three. It is historically common for the hero to revolt and seize power under such circumstances.
Thanks to this, I was able to infer the next story sufficiently, but there was something else that Marquis Mattius was concerned about.
So he went back to volume 1 instead of volume 2.
Book 1 shows the situation after the defeat of the German Empire in World War I, but also gives a brief overview of the army to which Hitler belonged.
Here, it was definitely the ‘gun’ and ‘military rank’ that caught Marquis’s attention.
‘It’s not given to a few, it’s a personal weapon…’
Pulling the trigger to launch a projectile is similar to a crossbow. However, even that crossbow is far from piercing iron armor.
However, the ‘gun’ that appears in Blood and Steel is treated as ‘like’ iron armor and is even a personal weapon given to each individual.
The reality is that even training archers rather than crossbows consumes a lot of time and money. For this reason, it is treated as a high-class disease.
The fact that the gun is a personal weapon in this situation is…
‘It’s so easy to be positive.’
Bows are almost life-changing to master, whereas guns are easy to train without them. Just pull the trigger and you’re done, what do you need?

Marquis Mathius clearly caught the merits of the gun like a commander with only a few pieces of information.
‘Instead, the constant firepower is probably the limit.’
Also, the biggest weakness of the gun was properly pointed out. It was described as a scientific staff that turns everyone into a wizard, but the projectile is the same everywhere.
However, this is a story when we take it as the standard of this world.
The world view of blood and steel, that is, the Earth does not have mana, so the gun alone will show great power, but this world is a little different.
Let’s say you give a gun to Hawk, who had a high reputation as a red lion. Rather than pulling the trigger, it’s better to hit them one by one, like threshing.
A world where well-trained knights can subdue even ogres. A world where people can use magic to unleash disasters.

Nevertheless, the appearance of the gun shocked readers and made them question whether this is even possible.
‘The fact that training is so easy is a terrifying advantage in itself.’
The fact that training is easy means that if you take a strong person and train them, it’s over.
In reality, archers can be conscripted indefinitely. If possible, the military power would increase several times.
The Minerva Empire is currently pursuing a conscription system rather than a conscription system. If a special reason (war) occurs, most mercenaries are hired.
However, that does not mean that there are no soldiers at all. If you enlist in the army and learn mana, you become a knight, if you don’t, you become a soldier.
‘It takes on average three years for a person with ordinary talent to feel mana, and it takes two years to use it to strengthen the body.’
Even this alone takes 5 years, but to put mana on a sword, to express what is commonly called ‘swordsmanship’, there is a huge difference between talents.
Some people show their swordsmanship in one year, while others walk in the same place even after 10 years of effort.
In fact, it is convenient to see that ‘mana’ itself runs to the extreme of irrationality. It’s not for nothing that demons and elves are referred to as “gaesagi” races.
‘Under such circumstances, the human union won the tribal war. Albenheim also self-destructed…’
War is a waste of money. This is a phrase that was also used in tribal warfare, and Marquis Martius deeply sympathized with it.
The reasons for the victory of the Human Union in the tribal war are Albenheim’s self-destruction, Helium’s under-the-ground support, and lastly, the terrifying quantity.
It took ten knights to stick together to defeat one elf warrior, but that was enough.
The wars that took place after the tribal wars were no different. Even if terrible magic falls from the sky, it is the warrior who eventually takes over the land.
‘If only I could make this gun…’
The Minerva Empire, as well as the world’s most populous human, will be able to take the lead.
But so far, it was nothing more than a ‘delusion’ level. Even in blood and steel, the power was not properly portrayed.
It’s only natural that only two volumes have been released, but Marquis Matius is expecting more.
And if, really, if a weapon more powerful than a gun emerges. I was looking forward to what kind of power such a weapon would show.
‘Weapons are weapons, but we also need to establish military ranks.’
The next thing to focus on after guns is the military class. The main character (?), Hitler’s rank was corporal, and other ranks also appeared.
Of course, the country was defeated and the army was disbanded, making it meaningless, but Marquis Mattius was interested in this.

Most countries, including the Minerva Empire, do not have a military class. It just depends on your experience or skill level.
Classes were only used to differentiate between commoners and nobles, and I did not intend to apply them to the military.
‘If there is a clear class system, it will be easy to organize the organization. There will be less confusion in the command system.’
In the military, top-down clothing is the principle, and it is the pillar. But if the pillar is divided into several, whose orders are to be followed?
Right now, there is peace inside the empire, but the situation outside is far from peaceful.
In the north, the savages are slowly starting to work, and in the east, the Stavikr people are calling for independence.
The south faces the sea, but the rival and nemesis, the Kingdom of Teres, is struggling.
“Ummm…”

Marquis Matius pressed his brows tightly at the thought of getting more complicated.
He has seen too much blood in the past, so he accepts all talents related to the military, whether aristocrats or commoners.
The problem here is the number of talents. The situation is not that there are few talents, but that there are too many of them.
[Return your rank the moment you become a soldier.]
As you can see from the above phrase, this is the basic philosophy of the Minerva Imperial Army. The moment they go against these words, they are mercilessly expelled.
Thanks to this unique culture, many talented people voluntarily set foot in the military, but ironically, they are unable to decide where to use it.
Of course, proper mercenary skills are a virtue and ability of a commander. Marquis Mathius also states this, and so do other military families.
‘But why are there so few logistical issues…’
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Most of the talented people who entered the military decisively are only interested in ‘tactics’. This is the most difficult part.
A commander who ravages the enemy with flashy tactics? On the surface, it’s really flashy, and in reality it’s just right for fame.
However, in the eyes of Marquis Matius, the word ‘f*ck’ comes out of nowhere.
The military group has long been famous for money-eating hippos, no, dragons. There is no such thing as productivity.
‘Because of this, I can’t even use my hands on a magic locomotive…’
The most annoying situation is the horsepower locomotive. As soon as I saw the steam locomotive that appeared in Xenon’s biography, my heart, which was usually quiet, was pounding.
If only this! If you can invent this, you can solve most of those f*cking dissemination problems!
You can provide more abundant support to the troops fighting fiercely with the barbarians in the north!
Spread using magic? That’s a story that only elves and demons can use to use magic like their limbs.
I don’t know if it’s a small object, but if I could teleport a large amount at once, I’d have done it earlier.
There is a risk that the entire supply may be turned into powder, so they use wagons.
“Haha… I’d rather put a description of starvation.”

Marquis Mathius let out a deep sigh. To be honest, he hated Xenon, even Isaac hated him too much.
Zeno’s biography is definitely a book that will go down in history. I have no intention of denying this.
However, Zeno’s biography is close to the epic of the hero, and the horrific war is not directly shown.
Even if it is shown, it only depicts scenes that are majestic and full of a spirit of sacrifice.
Even because of that one thing, the number of ‘beginners’ who are only interested in tactics is increasing, so it’s inevitable that your head will hurt.
‘I wish your Majesty would give you strength…’
The magic locomotive that Ains is inventing has a lot of people clinging to it and trying to get an advantage. This includes the Marquis of Mathius.
However, Ains nailed it to comply with the opinion of the original author (?) Isaac, and Isaac is a great man that even the marquis himself is difficult to meet.
I wanted to make the meeting happen through the Duke of Requilis, which can be called a relationship, but even that is a difficult situation.
Even Emperor Berith took a position to take care of himself, so he had no choice but to engage in politics.
‘Hitler will go to war the moment he becomes king, so we’ll have to wait and see.’

Marquis Mattius flicked his book, suppressing his throbbing head.
As the head of a military family, he expects to start a war the moment Hitler comes to power.
Although it may shake the hearts of the people who have been stained with a sense of defeat through speeches and agitation, they have to perform brilliantly in order to win ‘people’s heart’.
Performance is, of course, a war. Somehow, Hitler can become a ‘hero’ in the true sense of the word.
‘A real hero would care about the hungry in war. Otherwise, I would be nothing more than a lucky tyrant.’

Marquis Mathius smiled and shook his head. Of course, as it is Isaac’s work, he will grow into a real hero, not a tyrant.
For now, all you have to do is watch. He took another long sigh and picked up the report.
The report contained information that could not be easily leaked, stating that there was a clash between the Stavirk region and the imperial military families.
smart-
While reading the report, someone knocked on the door. Marquis Mathius opened his mouth bluntly, not paying attention to the door.
“Come in.”
As soon as Marquis Martius gave permission, a man opened the door and entered. The sound of footsteps echoed through the office.
At the sound of getting closer and closer, Marquis glared at him for a moment. And yet, the harsh impression was even more wrinkled.
Either way, the man slowly approached with a smile. When he reached right in front of Marquis Martius, he shouted loudly.
“Marquis Martius! How have you been?”
Whether he is a soldier, he has a modest appearance and a loud voice. Marquis put down the report he was reading and looked at him.
The marquise’s face was already engulfed in fatigue, as if he had no intention of hiding his pitiful expression.
“Yes. What did you come here for this time. Viscount Callas?”
The man called Viscount Callas was wearing a stylish uniform and seemed to be telling everyone, ‘I am a soldier’.
His dark blonde hair was all pushed back, revealing his wide forehead, and the wall that seemed to be passionate about something represented his personality.
The biggest feature here is thick lips. He is a man with a strange appearance in many ways.
And many people, including Marquis Mathius, call him a ‘geek’.
“I’m here to ask if you’ve checked the report I posted.”
“It’s okay if I send someone else, so why bother?”
“I can’t stand it.”
“ha······”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Marquis Mathius let out a deep sigh, feeling as if his soul had already been sucked out.
As such, Viscount Callas’ personality is a hot-blooded personality that doesn’t care about the higher ranks.
Of course, to put it bluntly, he’s a hot guy, but he’s just a person who ate up his eyes. Why can’t I still keep my position?
‘It’s so true that this little bastard is the only one I can trust…’
because he’s talented In particular, it stands out in the logistics area favored by Marquis Mathius.
He said, ‘The military must eat well to advance’. In fact, Viscount Callas is in charge of the northern part, which is the most difficult to supply.
It’s because of his irresponsible personality, but he recognizes one of his abilities, so he’s just keeping him by his side.
“Can’t we just stop doing his ‘bombardment’ or something? It’s better to use magic.”
However, even though they do not know the spread, they are engrossed in strange ideas and are in trouble.
At the request of Marquis Mathius, Viscount Callas shook his head as if he had no idea and opened his mouth resolutely.
“It is in favor of cultivating wizards. Maybe it will be effective.”
“But why…”
“The magician alone is not enough firepower. Besides, if the wizard dies? There will be many problems. Shouldn’t it be better to develop the cannon and show power comparable to that of magic? This is possible.”
“Heh heh heh heh.”

Marquis Martius let out a wide smile as if it was ridiculous. It sounds really easy if you just listen to it.
But you don’t know how much investment you have to invest to invent it. I’d rather train a wizard with that money.
“I will refuse.”
“Why?”
“Magic is better.”
Despite the decisive rejection of Marquis Mathius, Viscount Callas looked disappointed. If so, what would a nanny do?
just have to be Still, I have no intention of giving up.
“Okay. If you change your mind, I’ll be waiting for you.”
“You won’t change your mind.”
A weapon called ‘gun’ appeared in Blood and Steel, but it is still just a delusion. Marquis Mathius is thinking the same thing right now.
If the concept of ‘bombardment’ appeared in that book, I’d change my mind. It won’t happen though.
“By the way, do you have any requests among the supplies of the Navy Knights?”
“Oh, yes. There is. But it’s the first time I’ve seen it…”
“Is this the first time you’ve seen it?”
“Yes.”
Viscount Callas looked straight at the questionable Marquis Mathius and opened his mouth.
“It’s a square plate and a stone divided into black and white…”
“What are you going to do with it?”
“I don’t know either. However, it is said that it is gaining immense popularity within the current unit.”
Up until this point, I didn’t know at all.
“Give me whatever you want. The Navy Knights will take care of it.”
“Okay. But if you give me a little budget…”
“no.”
He had already had a huge bite.
