High School Soldier
Comparing the quality of the porters

Temporary residences for refugees and volunteers recruited into Peace Force informant personnel have been rebuilt, with building materials supplied by Arevelk the most, and for the workforce Yekirnovo sends their best ‘kuli’. Half a month since the arrival of the first wave of the Peace Forces contingent, a place that was once filled with human corpses as well as monsters and pools of blood, had changed in these short few days.

This place had to be repaired and reorganized like a small town, as Arevelk and Yekirnovo had dispatched their contingent of hundreds of thousands of military personnel and general staff. Sheyn also sent all the knights of Barisan Roses to learn Indonesian, and if interested they can also learn Korean or Russian, it all depends on the fans. That means language school buildings must be rebuilt and require additional labor.

Initially, when volunteers were invited by the Indonesian government to be given awards described the city with tall buildings and good roadside food, almost all of the Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingent soldiers wanted to go to Indonesia and study there.

However, the contingent of Yekirnovo and Arevelk Peace forces numbered 120,000, only their higher-ups could speak Indonesian, and even that was just a simple, memorable greeting, there was no way they could go abroad and study there. The government also cannot take them for granted, because there are many other things that must be taken care of. At least, the minimum requirement for them is to be able to converse in Indonesian, so the Peacekeeping Forces decided to rebuild schools for soldiers who are interested in refugee areas.

The area is also home to scholars who are translators and informant personnel of the official Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingents for contingents from other worlds. Perhaps this is a better place to learn another world language than to go to Indonesia, and refugee groups of children can also learn many things about the science that otherworldly children learn.

Although Yekirnovo and Arevelk's elite and special forces were used to serving in the field, most of them remained nobles. Confined to study in a small room with air conditioning in the form of an open window, given the electricity supply is still limited and is still devoted to the Indonesian, North Korean, and Russian contingents, making a lot of pressure for them. In essence, the elite soldiers who used to live in large rooms, and now have to face learning in a narrow room, will be a source of stress.

Therefore, providing the need for the contingents of Yekirnovo and Arevelk is important. In addition, the Peacekeeping Forces are also unlikely to allow important personnel such as their foreign minister envoys to stay in temporary homes and makeshift tents, as well as making the soldiers continue to stay in the tent was impossible. Therefore, the five Allied member states decided not to resort to plans on temporary camps, and decided to build more permanent buildings than temporary ones.

In addition to digging wells after finding an underground water source and building a water storage tank, troops also had to dig adequate waterways and set up water purification facilities. To power all of these facilities, including supplying electricity, the force uses hundreds of solar panels. Through this short period of rebuilding, the camp slowly became much larger than before.

Shops and similar facilities were being rebuilt, so that soldiers and refugees and volunteers who wanted to buy basic necessities did not have to go to the nearest city far enough away. Of course similar shops and facilities are run on refugees and volunteers that Arevelk and Yekirnovo pay for.

The personnel of the contingent of Yekirnovo and Arevelk did not mind the existence of shops and minimarkets, as well as similar facilities. Children and youth refugees and volunteers can be employed there. It is much easier and closer to buy things from the minimarket than going to the nearest town and going in and out the Gate to the troublesome Karanganyar.

There are very many wyvern carcasses and war dragons scattered in the territory of the Special Region of Indonesia in the Other World, and it's an extra money field for refugees and volunteers if they're not getting orders from the troops. They could use the money raised to build their own homes or build other facilities, and troops were willing to provide them with gas masks, protective clothing, and other items.

The existence of minimarkets and similar facilities turned out to attract back merchants and nobles Yekirnovo and Arevelk. The noble women and knights of Barisan Roses increasingly come to buy goods from Indonesia. They can buy clothes imported from Indonesia and Russia, tea from North Korea, and other luxury goods except luxury cars.

The Arevelk and Yekirnovo envoys who came to study also visited minimarkets and similar facilities established by Indonesian, Russian and North Korean contingents. In addition, a contingent of the three countries also visited. They buy not only their home-made products, but also local products sold by Yekirnovo and Arevelk traders.

The number of visitors to the Peace Forces area is increasing, making facilities such as minimarkets experience expansion. The number of goods sold is increasing, but not enough people to help in import and export, and the magicians involved are also added for the sake of personnel to open the Gate to Karanganyar fulfilled.

Children and parents who seem to be able to work are hired as additional store staff. The servants that the merchants, envoys, and noble knights brought along voluntarily helped. This is because after seeing a catalog of goods from other worlds, especially women's clothing, they realized that a facility called ‘minimarket’ provides everything they need and want even if it's not really needed.

As a result, young bachelor soldiers from Russia, Indonesia, and North Korea were attracted to the female waiters and staff of the store, who came from among refugees and volunteers, and caused customers to increase.

Unwittingly, the economic growth here has grown much faster and faster than it was during the time of the Expeditionary Force.

Where there is a profitable place, there will be traders. However, the presence of too many groups of traders made restless. After all, the troops did not provide a place for them to stay and there were no stalls for where they ate. The arriving merchants had to camp in a dangerous area outside the territory of the Peacekeeping Forces. That means there might be a group of robbers hanging around. To guard the merchants, volunteers who were once mercenaries fighting alongside the Expeditionary Force worked for the merchants in return.

If the troops ask them not to come, then the merchants will not come, and the supply of goods will stop coming. They could not continue to rely on the Peace Forces, and hence they hired a mercenary group. Since they employed so many mercenaries, meaning a place for them to live was also needed, which meant more construction.

They asked for help from the workers employed by the army to build the fortress, meaning they hired ‘kuli' who still had fear when sent to another world. However, the ‘kuli’ is a group of men recruited by the government to help troops build facilities in the Special Region of Indonesia in the New World, with a hefty fee. Without hesitation, they asked for help from artisans from Indonesia who looked fierce to build a new building. Of course they will also provide the needs of the porters, if that includes cigarettes, coffee or energy drinks, and fried they certainly need the help of the Indonesian contingent.

The tribe is famous for the ability of craftsmen such as ‘People Kerdil’ and carpenters who were brought in from Arevelk and Yekirnovo. Tribe ‘People Kerdil’... which is often referred to by the term ‘Dwarf’ in Japanese-made light novels and fantasy manga, in this world they are called the race ‘Ipotxak’. The Ipotxak race is spread all over this world, and has one advantage that makes it very respected by the human race as well as the Demihuman race, that is, they have the ability of craftsmen and make something with very good quality than man-made. So that by Indonesian soldiers the ability of workers of the Ipotxak race is compared to the quality of porters imported from Indonesia.

The merchants of Arevelk who needed many assistants and workers led to a large race of immigrants called Demihumans, who belonged to the varied tribes of the Arevelk Kingdom. The people of the Demihuman race had cat ears, fox ears, rabbit ears, and other half-monster humans.

Meanwhile, the tribes of the Demihuman race living in the Yekirnovo Kingdom were still hesitant to accept employment in the Holy Land. They still have feelings of fear for the country, because the past of other Demuhuman tribes are dark. No one can force them, even though the job offer they get is tempting.

In this way, all the tribes and races that existed in the Kingdom of Yekirnovo and Arevelk continued to arrive to the Special Region of Indonesia in the New World. The important places that continue to be built, combined with the influx of Indonesian culture, and the few from Russia and North Korea that meet with local cultures and tribes.

In one of the training areas, the captain of the 12th Team of the Reconnaissance and Battle Corps met with his 12 members who had gathered. The team's vice-captain, Sergeant Major Hassan saluted the team captain. The entire members followed him saluting and voicing their greetings as Nio stood in front of them. Nio returned the respect and greetings of his new subordinates, and glanced at them.

Of the 12 members of Team 12, 2 were from the North Korean contingent and 1 was from Russia. The three people are direct recommendations that Nio received, because he said it would be more interesting if the members were not only from the Indonesian contingent. Because, one of the half-member team is a contingent from Russia and North Korea, so Nio does not mind if there are 3 people from outside the Indonesian contingent who are subordinate to him.

“I'm sure you've heard our first assignment. I hope you are not disappointed with the task given by our superiors.”

It was Nio's hope that his members would not protest against him on the first order obtained. Unfortunately, the faces of most of the team members showed a feeling of dissatisfaction over the ‘injustice’ they got on their first orders. Nio himself was convinced that the members must have dozens of words he wanted to say in protest. It was no small surprise that this combat team had the first task of training alongside the Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingents, as the front lines had been guarded by other teams and troops.

Nio then took his mind off of it, and set his sights on the members. He can feel if this team is filled with people who are disciplined and full of confidence. Their equipment and weapons were well polished, and indeed looked ready to be delivered to the frontlines.

“Friends, be proud that you will show off the technology to our colleagues armed with swords and arrows.”

For the contingent soldiers Arevelk and Yekirnovo who do not understand the Indonesian language do not feel offended by the words of Nio. But for those who understand the content of Nio's words, the speech was included in an effort to show off the prowess of their weapons, but they could not retaliate or anything like that or they would be in trouble… because the team leader was First Lieutenant Nio Candranala.

From a place not far enough with the 12th Team marching, Angga along with the commander of the Arevelk army and one of the contingent generals of Yekirnovo observed them with binoculars. The technology was only first seen by Zvail although this is not the first time there are TNI representatives in the world.

“Nio really picked a talented member under his command,” said Zvail praising Nio and Angga agreeing to it.

The 12th Team had only formed a few days ago, and they had a captain who had quite a lot of experience in this other world. It made their work more comfortable, and could serve effectively thanks to Nio's connections and little knowledge of the Andzrev Continent.

“The special team that you guys form other looks rough and less humorous.”

“As you said, Mr. Zvail. It was because of their captain. If Nio doesn't want to be sent back to this world, that's a problem for us. Even so, he does not want to be called ‘istimewa’.”

“I understand.”

Although Zvail did not know if all the Indonesian soldiers like Angga seen from his appearance were serious and dignified soldiers. While Nio... relax? Not easy to guess? Or maybe a mysterious creature? In the end it was covered with all the achievements he had obtained.

No matter the circumstances, a normal man would be filled with hatred after being ganged up on by hundreds of people. The Yekirnovo Kingdom contingent general Kosh Her knew that the country she served owed Nio a debt, as Nio had not taken advantage of the events of raiding hundreds of Barisan Roses knights she had experienced. It was a very rare case that made Nio special in the eyes of Zvail and Kosh Her.

Yekirnovo and Arevelk will do everything they can to get cooperative relations in all fields with Indonesia and its allies to prevent the events experienced by Nio from being exposed. According to them, a word from Nio about the incident that happened to him would be bad and might make the Yekirnovo Kingdom will be short-lived.

After convincing themselves and gathering a lot of courage, Kosh Her and Zvail asked simultaneously to Angga, “"Then, what will they do?”"

“Let me show.”

Angga designates one of the practice areas, and a special event that is prohibited for children.

The group of soldiers there was their goal.in other words they were officers, and the contingent soldiers were Arevelk and Yekirnovo. The 12th Team had set up a shooting range here so that they could feel the feeling when firing a weapon. Moreover, they would also understand the true strength of the long black steel stick that the contingent from another world possessed. That is the main purpose of holding ‘pamer’ activities carried out by the Indonesian contingent.

To ensure the absence of stray bullets, team members set up targets in front of them in the form of human-sized sandbags coated in metal armor belonging to the Arevelk contingent. Behind them is a moat that Nio once defended with Team 1.

“Hey, let me try your weird weapon.”

About 20 Arevelk and Yekirnovo warriors had the same thought as a soldier who said that just now.

They're standing in the line of fire. They followed directions, and firmly held the rifle, took aim, then pulled the trigger. The loud pounding aka recoil resulting from the shot made some of them almost toppled over, and some more watery eyes.

Nio asked one of the soldiers, “How does it feel to use a rifle?” but he didn't answer the question. The soldier Nio questioned thought he was trying to intimidate him. Therefore, he looked at the long black steel stick he was holding quietly.

The first shot made them almost bounce.

The second shot left the soldiers of Arevelk and Yekirnovo trying to be fascinated with the power of the rifle.

The third shot made the power of the rifle like it was on their bodies.

The fourth shot made them want to have a rifle and a gun.

And then, after a few shots that hurt the shoulders of his soldiers, Zvail and Kosh Her imagined that their position was an enemy that was at war with Indonesia and its allies, they would be able to be destroyed very easily in a matter of days. The good news, their leader managed to make a Guild with Indonesia and its allies.

Then, they imagined that the forces of the Kingdom of Arevelk and Yekirnovo were equipped with such brutal weapons.

Next, they demonstrated a 7.62mm submachine gun and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun. After seeing the target line of sandbags covered in metal armor disintegrate in an instant, the Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingents who watched could imagine the Alliance Army being defeated in battle some time ago.

After that there was a question.

“How do you guys make weapons like this?”

Of course they could not even teach the soldiers and craftsmen of Yekirnovo and Arevelk how to make them. One more thing, even if they were to tell these otherworldly people, they might not be able to understand it. However, if they want to be taught to disassemble and reassemble each component of the rifle, it can be considered according to the permission given.

What the Arevelk and Yekirnovo contingents understood was that these weapons called rifles were an object with countless sets of intricate parts. It was the fruit of more advanced technology than the gifts Indonesia, Russia, and North Korea gave to Yekirnovo and Arevelk.

And after that came a question from one of the contingent officers of Yekirnovo, “Can we buy it?”

But, Nio and his subordinates could not give them the answers they wanted. Of course weapons like this can not be sold just like a peek. The soldiers of the Indonesian contingent and its allies are not so stupid as to sell them weapons even though they are not enemies or anything like that.

Even if Indonesia and its allies agree to sell it, the military high-ranking Yekirnovo and Arevelk will suspect the existence of deception or cunning tricks of the trade. Then why do they ask? Because such a weapon could not be ignored its power.

To prevent loss or theft, the Peace Forces' reserve armory is heavily guarded, and dozens of surveillance cameras are installed on each side of the premises in the armory. Then, the soldiers were threatened with very severe punishment when selling or just leaking rifle designs to others. Nio closely watched the people who were interested in trying their rifles.

The members of Team 12 were kind instructors, who patiently explained how to load the magazines, aim, and how to pull the trigger, without loosening their supervision of them.

The entire army returned the rifles to the Nio members, and left the firing range after thanking their instructors for their time.

“Ah~ we will start mortar demonstration 81mm.”

Nio asked interested people to come closer.

Inside the trench, there are 3 cylindrical objects standing obliquely on two legs. The cylinder looks like a tube made of black metal. The tubes were leading into the meadow in the distance.

When the audience who wanted to see far more of the rifle demonstration, Nio shouted, “This is very dangerous, please step back 20 steps to the back!” and the audience had no choice but to obey Nio's orders.

With the command of a commander, the 9 operators of each mortar began their duties.

One person began to align the shot towards the white crosshairs, another person prepared a mortar projectile ready to fire, and one person was in charge of taking the prepared projectile with both hands, and put half of the whole body of the projectile into the barrel of the mortar, but have not yet released it.

The shooter commander shouted as he folded his fingers as he counted down, “Five! Four! Three! Two!”

“Tax!” “One!” both words sound at the same time.

The operator holding the mortar projectile released it, and immediately lowered his head to avoid injury.

After that, the projectile slides down the barrel due to the gravitational pull. The tail end of the projectile is filled with propellant. Firing range according to the number of propellants. Once the tip of the tail hit the shooter pin at the base of the barrel, it triggered an explosion similar to the firing mechanism of a rifle bullet. The explosion produced by the exploding propellant launches the projectile from the tube.

The tongue of fire is then seen gushing from the mouth of the launcher tube, and then flying the mortar projectile. But a flame with a shock wave appears first before the projectile glides on a curved trajectory.

Upon seeing it, the spectators were frightened by a much louder explosion than a rifle. Then…

“Blowout~now!”

A second after that came the sound of a very loud explosion accompanied by a plume of black smoke rising from the scene of the explosion. And then, the other mortars kept shooting. The projectile created a 10-centimeter-deep crater that resulted from its explosion. In the end, there were ten mortar projectiles fired.

The contingent soldiers of Arevelk and Yekirnovo who saw could imagine the Alliance Army being smashed to pieces with that weapon. In addition, they also imagine the real war that is accompanied by the explosion of weapons that can destroy the fort.

“Sorry, but... what is the maximum firing distance of this weapon?”

Nio recalled the specifications of the weapon made by the domestic company, “Hmmm, approximately 3 kilometers or more,” Nio thinks there is no need to explain the specifications of the weapons the troops have accurately.

In this world, the battlefield was not that wide, even the range of a submissile only reached 100 meters, and the range of a cannon only reached 900 meters.

“Ah, I also have a question... How many weapons like this do your troops have?”

“Sorry, I can't tell you the exact details. Everyone has one. I mean every soldier will get one shotgun.”

“Everything?! How many soldiers does Indonesia have?”

After that, they saw Kosh Her, Zvail, and Angga watching them.

“It's lucky we're in love with them..”.

It turned out that there was still a foolish nation declaring war against an enemy like this, that was their thought towards the Alliance.
