I see the artist has seen this

Welp, there goes the entire military branch...

 

[Penthero]

japan actually have a surprisingly good self-sufficiency when it comes to weapons and materials. they can make most them selves if they get the raw materials... of cause slower then getting it from Korea or USA

They are very reliant on the US though, just take the snake eyes that was used in last chapter that is something they can’t just replace. Honestly the economy should be in shambles after being transported here so trying to increase/change their factories etc to handle all of this would be a nightmare.

Trying to have Japan deplete their resources is surprisingly a sound strategy from them, not that it will work because they don’t have enough to stop them. Japan cannot replenish their weapon at the speed they’re being used. When it comes to advanced weapons they require imports which they do not have here.

I wonder if this foreshadowing, as logistics would absolutely become the bane of the JDF in this situation. They simply do not have the facilities to replace those missiles, and eventually even the spare parts for their jets are going to run out. Other countries (US, China... France to some extend, Russia because of old USSR stocks) would have fared better. Ironically this makes the JDF being a much more interesting protagonist in the story...

They knew and they're trying to increase armed industrial output as fast as possible but there is one thing that they can't do about, Human resources.

What we can say for sure,though,is thanks to their alliances,they do have access to lands that probably have a lot of underused,if not outright untapped,raw resources needed to make their various things.

With the whole nation there,it would simply be a process of ensuring what they can build themselves is well supplied,whilst anything that can't be strictly made themselves before the move is now made by themselves or a suitable compromise/replacement is sought out.

With all previous copyrights with the rest of the world now void,reverse engineering will run rampant.

This is basically the full on and then some aspect from GATE where they considered the possibility of Japan simply cutting itself off from the rest of the world and using the resources from the other world.

Once this warone sided bloodbathe is over,they'd have full reign on the seas for importing all those goodies,so Japan will come out of this far better,a fitting retribution for the loss of their people.

For now,though,more glorious military might!,in the name of ripped open tops!

True, but remember that they’ve already gotten trade deals with several other countries so they could theoretically have deals in place for resources needed to make munitions and we just don’t know about them yet.
It’s also possible that they could have a large stockpile that they’ve been building up for years and now have justification to use said stockpiles. I say this as the US had a large emergency stockpile of ammo up until 2021.

Bosom.

thanks for the scanlation <3

See you in 3 months again boys.

Considering they aren't in any major threat directly nor under any time crunch,it'd just be a matter of time to settle those wrinkles.

Whilst their internal economy would be pretty much the same,their external ones will just be the few alliances they have for now,but with the sea lanes basically theirs,the raw resource shipping industry will have naught but one thing to say :

Bombed so hard her tits came out. Truly what the JSDF was trained to do.

Thanks for the chapter @IronMace1990

There is a lot of work required in order for this to work out, resources is one thing that Japan lacks but at least they got a solution there. Manufacturing of advanced weapon will be hurting more though, as you can’t just open a factory just like that.

But as you said, and why I said it won’t work, the enemy don’t have enough to be able to hold Japan back long enough for their stockpiles to be depleted.

It's super weird how much the author focused on the operator's tits

 

[TristhaniaGevra]

F for Admiral Arcaon, he might be on opponent side, but he choose to down with his ship.
Respect!

Thank goodness Pai still alive, I thought she got waffled by that walls lmao

This isn't Shock and Awe anymore, this is pretty much "Temper Temper"!

Big difference here compared to GATE is that this was sudden teleportation without a moment to prepare. The unemployment would be insane as most exports would stop, and lack of imports would be hurting for a long time. There’s possible Japan also got a couple million of refugees with the teleportation as well, with all foreign workers and tourists being there at that time.

43 chapters of pure japanese power shitting on early modern armed forces.
i wonder what made me read until this point.
yknow, for a magic world, there has been no overpowered sorcerer in sight like how you see in a fantasy work. shame.

Well,there was the long lost civilisation that made the shield,so whoever were the strongest fellas probably all passed on centuries ago.

Good thing Japan already has around a hundred factories capable of doing such a thing anyways right now.

Everyone talks about Japan now no longer being able to produce the hardware when Japan is one of the most advanced tech nations in the world.

They're 3rd in the world behind Taiwan and South Korea in semiconductor production, and are ahead of the USA (4th). The USA frequently imports chips and hardware from them.

Japan usually hurts for raw resources (which is why they lost WW2), but with complete foreign dominionation due to their military power, economic softpower of goods, and growing friendly alliances with multiple nations, they can easily secure access to raw resources from local mainland nations.

Also someone mentioned population and manpower. Japan as a tiny island but modernized urban population today has somewhere like +120m people.

The population of the entire continent of Europe from the 1800s (which is more like the tech level for the countries seen so far at best, some are even further behind) was like 150m.

Japan is the one with the manpower advantage here over single nations from this technologically inferior world.

Japanese have own military industry complex
