NOVEL NEXT Chapter 139: Distribution of Human Resources
The Peacemaker’s subordinate Legion, the new Chrysanthemum Knights, finally ended their 13 weeks of training and joined.
In my previous life, the US Marine Corps was not dispatched to the battlefield immediately after completing recruiting training.
To learn skills and knowledge in a specialized field they go to the Military school (MOS). For example, they would receive 52 days of specialized education at the infantry school at Le Jeune Base in California. [TN MOS was written in English letters. I don’t know what they stand for.]
In the United States Marine Corps, immediately after the insignia ceremony, they go to the Military school (MOS). Since becoming a Marine Corps, time must be used effectively.
But, as expected, we can’t say that the next day. These 13 weeks of training have been hard for them, but it was hard for us to experience it for the first time. I don’t have the energy to act immediately.
Therefore, we returned their personal belongings, and a week later, we declared that they would be assigned to their respective specialized fields. In other words, this week is a long holiday for both of us.
The night after the ceremony.
We continued to use the guest rooms that we were given since the time of the Chrysanthemum Knights as our own rooms.
Tonight, I was going to have a light discussion about the girls’ celebration and their assignments.
I had 30 people, so I thought, “I think it would be difficult to assign them because there are too many people”, but I understand immediately that my perception was naive.
Shea serves as a maid as always. She carries drinks and food to us who relax on the sofa. That said, she never bends in her claims.
“We do not give priority to private desires. In the future, in order to ensure your safety, at least 10 people will be assigned as escort maid candidates.”
Snow, who has fried chicken on a plate, also claims to be losing.
“If 10 maid candidates were selected, we could only have 2 infantry units. Shouldn’t we postpone that this time?”
Chris raises this claim.
“In the last hostage incident, there was no personnel in the sniper rifle unit to monitor the surroundings. In the future, if there is such an incident, it would be a problem if we could not accommodate about 10 people so that I could deal with it.
It’s true that Chris was the only sniper at the time, and it was far from possible to deal with an unusual situation. Layara is confirmed as an observer. After that, Chris asks for nine others.
Liz insists.
“I also agree with Snow’s opinion, but from among the infantry can you please accommodate human resources who handle general purpose machine guns? We would like to have at least 4 people if we want to make 2 squads, and if you make a squad of at least ４ people, because I want to make personnel that can be replaced in an emergency, we would like 8 people to be flexible.”
The number of members will certainly be insufficient if the opinions of my wives and maid are respected to the maximum extent.
I thought I would be worried about the assignments because there were too many, but I did not imagine that there would be too few to worry about.
The place for celebrating the beginning of the new members turn out to be a place for human resources struggle.
Fortunately, my wife and maids glared at each other with a hard face, but it is a relief that the atmosphere is not harsh.
I asked Meiya, who has not started to secure human resources.
“Does Meiya not want human resources? You don’t have enough hands to manufacture and develop weapons armor, do you? “
“Of course, I want someone who can also be used as myself, but since most of the personnel this time can’t handle magic liquid metal, I do not intend to force it.”
I see I understand. There is no magician in the new Order Chrysanthemum Knights. There are people like me and Chris who can use it a short time by training. However, the amount of magic power is too low, and it is not worth it considering the time and effort to train the manufacturing developer.
Only Layara has talent, but she is cursed. Would I like her to do manufacturing development? However, even when the AK47 was disassembled, that person was sluggish. Her hands are not very dexterous, and I don’t think it’s suitable…
As I was thinking about that, Meiya continued.
“And I can’t stand putting a bug in the space where we’re alone with Lute sama! We’ll do our best to stay up all night, but I’ll do it for two or three! In order to maintain a world of sweetness with Lute-sama, I will throw away even this Meiya Dragoon’s sleep desire!”
“No, don’t overdo it and go to bed. I’ll ask you to sleep!”
I put a Tsukkomi trembling at Maya’s effort in the wrong direction effort. I wonder if Snow and the others are angry with such an attitude.
“What do you think, Lute-kun? Of course, you also organize infantry units to prepare basic troops, right?”
“I also want people to form a sniper rifle unit.”
“Lute-san is well aware of the importance of a general-purpose machine gun that controls space, right?”
“I’m looking forward to the youth’s determination.”
My brides and the maid were approaching. I insisted on my own opinion, even though I was overwhelmed by them.
“Oh, the number of people has increased this time, and I wanted to create a mortar unit, a specialized unit that operates the finally completed “mortar”…”
“What is that?”
I explained to Snow and others who tilted their heads about the “mortar” that we made with Mayer. Of course, dividing it into parts that can be explained to them and parts that cannot.
A large number of weapons were born in the world of my previous life, in World War I. The mortar is one of them.
At the time, machine-guns were developed, and soldiers were often forced to fight in close quarters by night raids or digging pits to try to get close. It is commonly known as the “trench war”.
Therefore, it was difficult to give effective hits with rifles and cannons because the enemies and allies were in the trenches. Therefore, Grenadiers appeared to throw grenades into enemy positions, but they were unable to get close enough due to the barbed wire and machine guns.
Being wary of each other’s grenadiers and attacks from the soldiers, they kept a distance of 100 m. or more from their opponent. It was no longer a distance you can throw a grenade with your hands.
As a result, there was a tactic that extended the flight distance by a method other than throwing a grenade by hand.
The first method was to shoot a grenade from the tip of the rifle [Rifle grenade]. As I explained before, this is a method of attaching a special device to the rifle and firing a grenade using an empty gun. However, this method had a drawback that it was necessary to attach a device for firing a grenade to the muzzle, and during that time shooting was impossible.
As a result of trying other ways other than throwing grenades by hand, a large-scale mortar (grenade launcher) was born that further expands the range of the Rifle Grenade.
Larger – scale? Just imagine a cannon used in the Middle Ages as an image.
In fact, the French Army brought out canons used in the Middle Ages and put it into trench warfare. It seems that there was a problem with durability because it was made in the age of low metallurgical technology.
And in 1915, the British Army has developed a Stoke-type mortar that looks just like a slanted barrel.
Although various countries tried various types of mortars, the Stoke mortar became the standard weapon.
The structure is extremely simple. A Barrel, a pedestal Baseplate, a bipod with adjustment handles.
The advantages of mortars are “high destructive power and killing power” because of the large amount of explosive charge that can be put in. It is easy to carry and handle because of its simple structure, and it has a low manufacturing cost. Because it falls from the sky, the pieces are scattered, and the killing ability is high.
On the other hand, the disadvantages are that the mortars shoot up shells and fall at a near-vertical angle, making them slow and susceptible to crosswinds, and the sound when shells fall makes them easy to detect by the enemy.
As mentioned above, mortars have many drawbacks. It is by no means a universal weapon. Since I made such a mortar, I was thinking of forming a support unit…
“Even Lute kun thought about that. Then the number of people is not enough. What should we do?”
“Would you like to recruit new members now?”
“But princess, is it difficult for us to spend 13 weeks on training again?”
Everyone gave their opinions. I would never give up myself…
I hit my knee and made a decision.
“If this happens, I’ll let the members, everyone learns all the skills!”
“All of them? “
Chris embarrassedly put out the mini blackboard.
I nodded.
“That’s all. The mortar is basically operated by the infantry squad, Sniper also, supports the squad, machine guns are going to be in the squad, so I should let them all learn. “You can buy your hard work while you are young”. There is no loss in learning the skills.”
My wives and apprentice agree with me.
If you are a small company, you have to do everything regardless of office or sales. In this way, the distribution of the members who joined the team was decided.
In the end, there would be 20 professional infantries, and 10 people as escort maid candidates. It was decided that all of us, would be in charge of protecting Kokori town.
The 10 escort maids were the ones I gave up because Shia did not give up to the end.
As a concession, we have agreed to nurture them as specialists in indoor control, protection of important persons, and rescue of hostages. Of course, I’m also going to put in the skills of mortars, snipers, and squad-supported weapons.
Rather, Shia was happy about that. In addition, she asks me to pay for the maid.
Wasn’t it difficult for one maid?
She’s been taking care of me all the time, so I forgave that much.
