Ogres (3)
There are countless reasons for the failure of communism, but one of them is the lack of productive power compared to capitalism.
No matter how hard I work, the reward is the same, will my motivation really go up? That bastard is rough, but does he really need to work hard?
Man, to be precise, man is a very cunning animal. When someone sucks honey right next to them, the desire to suck honey with them grows rapidly.
Thanks to that desire, the civilization has developed brilliantly through countless ‘competitions’, but at the same time it has created numerous problems.
As such, communism is doomed to failure unless the cunning mind unique to humans is eliminated.
As someone said, everyone is fair, but not everyone is fair. It is a word that properly penetrates the contradictions of communism.
However, the case of the Dwarf is slightly different. Dwarves are a race with extremely good dexterity that they call a ‘factory’ rather than a ‘worker’.
In addition, the reason the revolution is only happening now, even after working for nearly 300 years after the tribal war, is because they love ‘creation’.

Just as beasts have the instincts of beasts, dwarves have a basic desire for creativity.

Just like Ains invented the magic engine, once it’s plugged in, it digs into it without hesitation. As long as you have enough money and time.
Dwarf factories are being robbed of not only money but also time, so there is no such tendency, but the instincts planted in the racial group cannot be suppressed.
So, in other words, communism, a system that is almost impossible for humans, may be a suitable system for dwarves.
“We will give everyone a fair chance. We make the cogs, not the parts that spin like cogs. However, we share the technology, but so that the inventor can be respected by everyone. If that happens, we Dwarves can take it one step further It can evolve.”
“It sounds like a system that would be perfect for a Dwarf. But what if other countries use the blueprints?”
Lina asked a question about Ains’ explanation, which is deeply related to ideology and system. Ain’s ideas will have a big impact not only on the Dwarves, but on the whole world.
In particular, humans are likely to see the greatest influence. No matter how difficult mechanical engineering is, is it more difficult than magic, the realm of ‘talent’?
Although engineering also varies depending on talent, it can be established to some extent if you receive sufficient education. But magic isn’t like that.
Therefore, if Ains succeeds in the revolution and distributes the blueprints, neither you nor I will build a magic engine.
As I said earlier, a magic engine is a machine that can produce mana from coal. There are places where you can salivate just looking at its merits.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s unknown whether humans can even make magic engines, but I don’t think they’ll invent better technology. Even if they do, we’ll be able to catch up soon.”
“·······”
It was an arrogant remark, but Ains was a Dwarf. There is more than enough qualification to say such a thing.
Lina frowned to see if she knew that part, and even though she was offended, she could not counter it. As such, humans are weak in many ways.
However, I do know the advantages of humans that Dwarves do not have. He whispered into Lina’s ear so that Ains could not hear it.
“there······”
“Hey?!”
Were you surprised by the sudden whisper? Lina was startled and let out a shriek.
Her dignity as a princess has disappeared, a truly human scream. I looked at her with a puzzled expression on her face.
Lina, whose face has suddenly turned red, is looking at me blankly, covering her ears with her hands.
Both eyes are wide open in surprise. It feels like a prickly cat jumping up and down.
“Uh… Are you surprised? I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no. Big. Big.”
When I apologize in a shy voice, Lina coughs in vain and hurries to capture it. And until he saw the Dwarf’s eyes.
If there were only acquaintances in the dormitory, it would be even more embarrassing if there were even a trio of dwarves.
I’m sorry, but I have to tell you something first. I whispered when Lina lent her ear.
“There is no need to be so heartbroken…”
“Ugh…”
“···········?”
what. this woman. I looked at Lina when I heard the strange noise again.
Biting her lip, her face seems to be holding back the scream. Is it okay to say it like this?
While I was still thinking about it, Lina forced herself to hide her chapped lips and said to me.
“Gye, keep talking. I’m fine.”
“······· Are really okay?”
“Oh, nothing.”
I don’t think so. Even if I looked at him with suspicious eyes, Lina responded with a brazen face.
If it’s the fault that his face is red and ripe, hmmm. I stared at her for a while, then put my mouth to her ear again.
“Anyway, there is no need to be so heartbroken. As you know, Dwarves have good dexterity, but they tend to lack basic studies. So, if you create and educate them, you will be able to catch up. Above all, creation based on theory is very sophisticated. High, but low risk.”
Whether it’s mechanical engineering or ergonomics, his damn ‘physics’ and ‘math’ are always included. To be honest, there is no place where these two disciplines do not fit.
If the magic organ was introduced to humans, the sciences would develop explosively, and the sciences would be able to manufacture more sophisticated machines.
If the dwarves are heavy industry, humans will specialize in light industry or high-tech industry. Of course, the story would be different if the dwarves dig into learning, but it would take quite a while.
Machina focused only on production, so there were few educational institutions, and the magically complex fields were entrusted to the elves.
“Yeah, right? When you say that, you have high credibility. Whoa…”
When Lina finished my words, she fanned her hands to calm the fever. It’s a different feeling to have this kind of reaction with just a whisper.
“Are you okay?”
“Joe, that’s good! What do you mean! It’s just because my ears are itchy.”
“Yeah? It’s strange. If you were a princess, you would have heard a lot of whispers… isn’t that the case?”
“You really…!”
Of course, the playful Cecily cannot be missed. Seeing Marie helping out from the side, it seems that she has caught her weakness.
I grinned at them as they began to quarrel, then moved my gaze back to the trio of dwarves.
They had serious faces, regardless of what the women said or said.
“Didn’t you say that you would propose to distribute the blueprint so that all Dwarves can create it fairly?”
“right.”
“Then I’ll ask you a question here. If a Dwarf attempted an act against humanity in the name of creation, would you tolerate that as well?”
The system Ains described has a communist feel, but at the same time, liberalism is also appropriately mixed.
Creativity is impossible without freedom. However, too much freedom leads to lawlessness, which inevitably leads to disaster.
“Ummm… I didn’t even think of that. There must be a lot more to think about than that. Gias?”
“Hey. Chew…”
“Heh heh. Why is this friend like this. You want me to wait for 5 years?”
“Because of you, I’m going to lose all my hair that was left.”
Even though Geas sighed, he accepted it. From the looks of it, it seems that most of the political fields have been taken over by Geass.
Ains patted Geas on the shoulder, and looked up at me with eyes brighter than before.
It was very strange to see the furry dwarf’s sparkling eyes, but because of his size, he was strangely cute.
“Then are there any other precautions?”
“If you want to be careful… Giving a chance so that even if you fail, you can get back up again? Although everyone is equal, there is no guarantee that everyone will succeed. Originally, success is what blossoms after countless failures. Wasn’t it?”
You may know the saying that failure is the mother of success. If failures accumulate and become data, the probability of success is bound to increase.
If the revolution succeeds and Ains distributes blueprints, you and I will try various creations.
If the creation succeeds immediately, there is a strong possibility of failure in most cases at first. If left unattended, it would be nothing more than a pile of garbage.
Therefore, the government or institution must pay for the opportunity to happen again. This is the most important.
Even if there are ‘failures’, there should be no ‘lackers’.
“It was. Back then, these guys treated me like a geek. Even if I fail, it’s a chance to get up again… Maybe this is the most important thing.”
“Another thing. You don’t have to cling to creation. Just because you’re a Dwarf doesn’t mean that everyone likes to create. It gives you opportunities not only to create, but also in many other ways.”
“Um, um, and again?”
While me and Ains are talking to each other, Geas is taking notes diligently next to me. Handi is also taking notes.
On the other hand, Cecily and Lina are full of dissatisfaction with something. It’s like they’re asking why they don’t tell us that.
It’s a little annoying, but I can’t help it. The idea Ains preached was ideal, but the risk was too great.
‘If you do it wrong, it could turn into an underwater city that looks like something out of a game.’
And I will take all the responsibility and guilt. Please, I need to teach you how to be careful not to let that happen.
“Thank you. Thank you very much. If the revolution succeeds, we will create a new system based on what you have taught us.”
“I’m just giving you points to be wary of. I’ve been mentioning it every now and then, but the biggest enemy of communism is corruption.
“We will never repeat what the bourgeoisie did.”
Is that really the case? It is not for nothing that it is said that history repeats itself.
Wasn’t Stalin actually like that? The difference was that that person coveted power, not wealth, but the results were similar.
Fortunately, even though he had paranoia and suspicion, his love for the Soviet Union was sincere.
He is a dictator who wielded undisputed power like Hitler, but a person who has grown the Soviet Union into a powerful power, receiving complex evaluations even after his death.
“By the way, can you tell me about the tank? This only worked when the revolution was successful, because tanks are the most important thing to us now.”
“Oh, of course. First of all…”
Before I spoke, I looked down at the dwarves. He must have been constrained in many ways due to his unique, chubby body.
Of course, they’re not fools either, so they’d have considered it from the moment they built the tank. However, there is a practical problem.
It is none other than a gun, that is, a machine gun. The original tank was equipped with a machine gun as well as a main gun.
But now, machine guns, let alone muskets, have not been invented. If you want to do something similar…
“Is there no such thing as a crossbow?”
“Should I wear that too? It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.”
“The arrows go out one after the other when you pull the trigger instead of reloading them one by one.”
“How do you make it?”
Even if it’s a fantasy, reality is reality. A crossbow without reloading seems unimaginable.
“If that’s the case, use magic items. Just use the Magic Arrow.”
“You mean you can’t use magic?”
“It’s not that we can’t, it’s that we don’t. Do we have to use the Magic Arrow? It’s easy to mechanize as it’s a simple magic, and there’s no shortage of mana because there’s a magic engine. No. Should I put a fireball instead?”
“·······”
No. Fantasy is also fantasy.
They don’t spray bullets from the chariot, they pour magic baptisms. Fire fires, magic arrows fire, lightning fires, and so on.
Perhaps something more gruesome than a real tank will be born. Fortunately, high-level magic lacks mana and the formula is complicated, so I don’t know.
Conversely, if you have enough mana and know the formula, you can use that magic profusely.
What kind of monster am I making?
“··········· Anyway, I will explain something else.
A turret that rotates 360 degrees later, the personnel needed to operate the tank, a radio that allows the commander to issue commands more smoothly, and so on.
I told you everything I could tell you in the line of common sense I know. Of course, since the world is different, it is unclear whether this will all work.
“After all, the prophet is right.”
“Well then. Then.”
“You can’t know this kind of knowledge unless you’re a prophet.”
It sounds like you’ve made a useless misunderstanding, but let’s move on. From now on, all that is left is up to the Dwarves.
I don’t know if they will succeed in the revolution, but I hope they are okay.
“There are quite a few things that need to be improved than I thought. Thank you so much. It was worth risking my life for.”
“I hope you get it sorted out. Oh, but have you decided on a name?”
“Of course I did.”
Ains coughed, cleared his throat, and put his hand on his waist, revealing his name.
“Ogre.”
The name of the tank that will be revealed to the world for the first time.
“Ogre Tank I.”
It was a really fitting name.
