In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. So, too, it is better to recapture an army entire than to destroy it, to capture a regiment, a detachment or a company entire than to destroy them.
Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.
- Sun Tzu

Well Damn. Those poor bastards are just gonna be a smear on a windshield after this.
Japan just wants to secure the closest nation to it in order to shore itself up. They got the fuel from one of the neighboring territories and maybe in a year or so time, when the population mellows, they might open up travel to the other lands.

@CheerTheDead if they used lightning magic they would have done some damage to tanks even against those jets as long as they know how to aim but because it's their first time facing against jets I doubt they'd hit anything, tanks on the other hand yeah they can hit those ,though range will be an issue considering tanks can hit targets several km away even with in range cast time might be a problem the first wave of lightning magic might actually hit cause the tank battalion don't know about magic but once they know they won't be giving them any change to actually cast any thing, they won't destroy them but at least be able to disable said tank.

sadly they don't know.

Spoiler

looking at the raws range might not be much of an issue once they enter the city again if they knew lightning magic can disable tanks and later on helicopters they would have caused some damage well they still won't win cause they only have few mages but for future encounter a magic based army specialize in lightning magic would be a norm against Japan they will still have the range issue though an artillery fire would still decimate said mages but for urban warfare they might have a better chance

 

[meho7]

more please? 😋

 

[Nep]

Genie. Is that you?

@greatninja3

Tanks and aircraft are specifically designed to survive lightning strikes, so no lightning strikes might not even slow them down.

A lot of forethought goes into making vehicles as tough as possible.

 

[karanga]

Oh boi, its like ww2 china all over again

 

[dreminh]

@greatninja3 civilian Helicopter, Military now can withstand EMP from a tactical nuke clear strike

 

[ElZavier]

Thanks for the chapter

Can't wait til they adapt the Papaldia War act

 

[scripted]

Type-90 Ahoy!

Kinda funny, and also sad that you can find similar enough events in the actual history of wars,
with a side losing so onesidedly that they can't even tell why they're losing, much less figure out how to try adapt.

On that note, Japan have a history of actually adapting surprisingly fast when they've been severely outmatched,
probably part due to them being less rigid about keeping only "nobles" in power compared to most (not all) other nations/militarypowers in the past.
(Just means it usually ends up costly for their foe aswell, unlike China for example that remained as little to no threat when outmatched.)
Japan have been on the receiving end several times throughout history, wonder how much easier it makes finding actual data on onesided wars for authors.



As for today, is Japan aiming for a civ-style culture victory through spreading manga/anime across the world? =p
Reminds me, outbreak company (think that was the name) was a silly and amusing take of attempted otherworld conquest by culture.
(Loved the sports part.)

@blackseagull they did that in gate because they were anticipating the possibility that they might need to leave them behind, so they didn’t want to use anything newer

 

[rrolo1]

TBH the only thing that was out of what was expected is those hooded guys that were in the council and that simply decided to cut their losses. They are obviously the big bad that is coming ...

 

[Milanin]

@pandatime well, do you call it luck, or do you call it wisdom coming from a wyvern?
It seemed like the wyvern called all the shots in that one.

It's nice to have someone who says no to your yes, especially someone trustworthy.

@karanga

You mean the Marco-Polo bridge incident?

 

[GambierBay]

@greatninja3 I find it hard to believe that lightning magic would have an adverse effect on tanks as they are designed with a basic grounding function, meaning that their electronics would be spared along with the soldiers inside. Further, as noted by Lightning Strikes on Helicopters - Effects, Detection and Avoidance 1999-01-2398, (1999). Article title is sufficient to find the link, basic lightning protection measures exist to prevent crashes but still would modestly damage the craft.

 

[mikoreimu]

ah yes, next is tanks and MLRS action time XD

 

[CheerTheDead]

@greatninja3

By magic, i were referring to the fireballs that they did earlier. :3

WW2 tanks are less armoured so concentrated attacks may work though I don’t thing the mages can outrange the MG :3

 

[criver]

@GambierBay Sustained lighting will melt puny tanks.
