Friendly reminder that cluster bombs are a violation of the Geneva Suggestion.

It's not like Japan ever cared about it anyways (if you've read about the Japan part of WW2 you know what i mean).

 

[zephyroths]

at least its not Dongfeng missile

 

[Crystalball]

That's it? After reading xianxia, all I can say is "how cute".

 

[AscendingCanadian]

They really chose to base his bomber on the worst possible aircraft ever lmao

 

[hurafloyd]

Allen-boya, carpet bombing is all and good but you need to terrorize your enemies with a proper jericho horn equipped dive bomber, at some point some precision strikes will be necessary, and carpet bombing wont help, add some toxic gas and…

Reminded me more of the mosquito, but with what he needs, atm fits quite nicely.

 

[GreC_89]

HAHAHAHAHA, PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION ONCE YOU TOOK HER
ty for tl

finally "freedom and democary" is here

Allen showing these guys American Style.

 

[monkey123]

Is this for the bombs in this chapter, or is there something coming in the next chapters?

For heroine and her henchmen I guess.

Normally I'd agree, but it's just an absolutely horrible aircraft it can't even be a decent cropduster

Alexander the ok has a whole video about the PZL M-15 and it's just...yeah

I do at least commend the design realism (disbelief suspended appropriately)

 

[HunterCO]

Freedom Style o7

 

[Kampfarsch]

Oh shes pregnant for sure

 

[SCXVV]

Why the hell his aircraft is so damn ugly? I think the author should have looked at photos of planes for reference. Maybe a WWII attack aircraft or something like that, fortunately there were a lot of different ones

 

[shinshom]

and Hello Genocide!!! and godamn Ana (((((

Those are just shrapnel bombs, perfectly legal on military targets, though pretty much out of use since WW2.

 

[shinshom]

Well they don't have Geneva Conventions in this world... or Geneva itself for that matter. Let's just hope Allen doesn't find any uranium.

He is japanese, he would never do such atrocity.

 

[ciera]

Thanks for the scanlation

 

[phorx]

I love an MC who’s not afraid to kill. Hard-boiled Allen is great.

 

[essensue]

Just to be pedantic, the Convention on Cluster Munitions has nothing to do with the Geneva Convention. It's an entirely different treaty. (Also, those were fragmentation bombs, not cluster bombs.)

AFAIK, the closest the Geneva Convention gets is prohibiting targeting civilian populations with indiscriminate weapons in wartime, and he was clearly targeting military forces.

Excellent pedantry.

And the use of literal magic to produce and guarantee disposal of these suckers obviates most of the CCM's concerns about what a pain in the ass cluster munitions are outside of wartime. These don't become tasty-looking scatterable minefields of unexploded ordnance when independently-fuzed submunitions (there are none) fail to detonate. I like that the manga kinda addresses that.

Still doesn't mean these would actually be effective weapons at all, but I love that it's trying, you know? Even if all he did was probably invent that world's loudest fog machine. Someone point me to a fantasy manga that's so engineering-brained that it would take time to address where the air goes on collection (magically stored or just compressed) and the thermodynamics of what happens when it's adiabatically released. This is probably the closest I've found.

i'm surprised allen this quickly thought up a new aircraft able to hold this kind of ammunition. felt like he had to do alot more rinse and repeat, trial and errors, on his first one. and his ammunition in itself is quite the ingenious idea. and while i realise he'd been using magic all the time for his weapons and his glider, he's now expanding the usage for magic weaponry, quite a big step up, so i hope his magic reserves are keeping up.

It's not a perfect weapon. Ice shards have a cap in destructive potential, and breaking wooden structures relies on the initial blast.

There are ways to adapt to it, which is why he's relying on fear, stealth, evaporation, and rapid assault to capitalize on his advantage as long as he can.

That said, even if the enemy was able to develop countermeasures, bombing the horses alone would paralyze them on a military level.

Bu...but, this is using natural resources and doesn't leave behind anything toxic.
So, it's environmental friendly.
