Chapter 434 – 434
In colonial America during this era, the militia was a legal military organization recognized by the state.
For the defense of the region, it could be seen as an organization that was recognized even if it possessed more than a certain amount of force.
In some cases, it was operated somewhat like a modern reserve force.
‘Hoo… The additional trials definitely encourage the flow into the original story. The original protagonist also created a militia and operated it like a gang. … Isn’t it? Was it the other way around? Did he create a gang and disguise it as a militia? I played it a long time ago, so I don’t fully remember the game’s story… But that’s what it is… Wait, if this happens, there will be a war between the French and the leaderns.’
If my vague memories of old games are correct, the United States will have a good fight with the combined French and leadern forces before the war of independence against the oppression and violence of the British Empire.
A war over colonial interests broke out between the British Empire and France.
The American colonists also wanted war with France before and at the beginning of the war. Because I wanted more land.
‘Only in the beginning.’
Anyway, when the French and leadern War broke out, England was on our side. France is the enemy.
But when the United States waged a war of independence, France was on our side and Britain was our enemy.
Looking at this, it seems that Americans have learned the hard way from the beginning of the country’s founding that there are no permanent allies or permanent enemies in the international community.
Allies and enemies changed in just a decade or so.
‘What… The protagonist of the original game did not necessarily participate in the war. He said he was protecting his hometown by acting as a defensive force with the militia, but he just kept messing around on the land near his hometown. He probably didn’t have any desire to major. Me too. What happens if you make a major? I’m not going to use that popularity to become a politician like Washington. It would be more profitable to fuck a woman at that time.’
I had no intention of becoming actively involved in the French and leadern War.
If you major here and make a name for yourself, you will eventually take a position during the American Revolutionary War and become one of the fathers of American independence…, To be honest, it’s worse to pick on women and get them pregnant than to do something like that.
‘What do I have to do to be recognized as a militia… ? I think I did a lot of different things in the game, but my memories are vague. First, it seems like the village sheriff helped me a lot…, You can go out into the real world and look it up on the internet, but it’s a hassle. I’ll just go and ask the old man. … Well, first, I have to tell the little guys who have become my subordinates that they will become a militia.’
I told the henchmen who had become my subordinates that from now on, our organization would use the guise of a militia, so they were to stay quiet and not cause any trouble for the time being.
“Militia?”
“Okay.”
“So our organization falls under the local militia? When can I join the militia?”
“No. We will create a new militia among ourselves. … Hmm, I guess the name should be something like Springfield Youth Militia.”
“Why militia? I heard it’s very difficult for the militia to do that…, You have to fight with the leaderns, you have to train, and when you are called up, you have to be called up and do various things…”
“You guys, are you going to continue being part of this criminal organization? Do you think people will just leave it alone? Since you haven’t committed any major crimes yet, I’m just taking it easy on you. If you keep acting like this, it’s obvious that people will catch me and come to round you up. So they are disguising themselves as an official militia.”
“… Uh. … Is that so?”
“The villagers are okay with an organization that is an official militia and has legitimate military power doing something a little lame, but there are these guys who are blatantly criminal organizations. Do you think the world will just leave them alone? Is the world okay? If it were you, would you stay still? Is there an outright criminal organization next to the village? If it were me, I would immediately rally the villagers and join the militia to subdue them, or inform the colonial government and ask them to send a punitive force.”
“Ah…”
“Do you understand what I mean? Then, just wait and relax while fucking prostitutes. If you do something stupid while I’m away, you’ll be left behind. I will torture you to the point where you beg me to kill you and then kill you. … Well, then I will go to the sheriffs of each village to get advice and cooperation on establishing a new militia, so take it easy and rest well. “If I’m bored, I do some training.”
I told my subordinates to take a break and wait, and went to the police station where the sheriff of Springfield Valentine was located.
The old town sheriff has been very kind to me recently.
I think it’s because he listens to almost everything he says, except for spending a lot of money at the brothel.
There was a request to deal with a group of murderous robbers and beggars in the valley upstream of the village river, which he promptly resolved in one day, and there was also the time spent on a date with Mary White, so that’s probably why.
“Hey, old man. This time, I’m thinking of gathering some young troublemakers from around here and forming a new militia…, Help me establish it.”
“Militia? You? To try to do such a good thing… The sun will rise in the west. … But, why don’t you join the existing militia? Why are you making a new one?”
“The existing militia has a lot of old people and I don’t want to join. When we go in, we have to be the youngest. We will be operated by myself, somewhat like a vanguard, guerrilla force, or special forces. The name was roughly decided on as Springfield Youth Militia.”
“… Huh, a lot of people in the existing militia will hate it, right?”
“Doesn’t care. “They weren’t the ones who liked me from the beginning.”
That was actually the case.
The militia people in my area didn’t like me very much.
There was no reason to like it.
The crazy dog of Springfield Valentine Village.
Springfield Valentine’s fucking idiot.
Springfield Valentine’s gangster.
There is no reason for the local militia group, which is quite healthy and sincere, to like me, who is famous for such things.
‘Ah, but recently, I guess my favorability has increased a little because I eradicated a group of murderous robbers and beggars in the valley upstream of the river in my village.’
“Hmm…, Still, there is an existing militia, but the new militia is a bit…”
“If they think about me joining the existing militia and wreaking havoc, they will hate it too, right? We both like making new things. … Hey, old man, think about it, what will happen if I join that militia. “Can’t you imagine?”
“… Hmm, that’s not wrong either… I can’t imagine anything but chaos if you go in there… I see, I think it would be better to make a new one. Even if there are some complaints from the existing militia about being rude. “Did you even think such deep and wonderful thoughts?”
“Hehe, right? Even if I go in there, it will be obvious what will happen. Maybe they’ll fight on a fake day? The militia has a lot of guns, so now it will be a gun fight, not a fist fight. In any case, our village… “It means that our Springfield Valentine village, which the old man cherished, loved, and cultivated, is being destroyed.”
“… Yes, I understand what you mean.”
The old town sheriff recognized the need for me to create a new militia.
I thought that if I joined the existing militia, strife would break out within the existing militia, the militia would fight fiercely with each other, and the village would be destroyed.
“Now then, help me create a new militia. I think I can make it easily if I get some help. Who is our village representative now? I think I need to get his permission too…, Please help me out when I get permission. Because I think they will listen to what you say.”
“Why me?”
The old village sheriff suddenly became angry.
It seems a bit like they’re doing this on purpose…, Usually, he listens to my requests as much as possible.
“No, you listened to everything I said up until now, and then you come out like this? Old man, is this really what happens between us?”
“… Hmm, that’s that and this is this. Want help founding a new militia? Then, you too must do me a favor. No, it would be correct to see it as a condition.”
“Conditions?”
“Okay.”
“What are the conditions?”
“I heard you and Mary White are trying to make things work out these days? On Wednesday, I went to church to see Miss Mary White, and I also pulled her younger brother, Thomas White, out of a group of delinquents.”
“… Huh, really… The village gossip is so fast. Has that already become a rumor? It hasn’t even been that long since Thomas was stolen… Ah, all those grumpy teenagers must have gone home thanks to me, so it’s only natural that the rumor spreads quickly.”
“Anyway, it’s amazing that you’re putting in so much effort, so I won’t risk any money or any other conditions, and if you just accept this one thing, I will fully support and help you. Marry Miss Mary White. Those are my conditions. If you accept these conditions, I will help you persuade the sheriffs of other villages. I will definitely convince the village representative. “Establishing a new militia is not something that is usually done through effort.”
“… Hmm.”
“First, we need to get permission from three representatives from each town in Springfield, as well as permission from colonial government officials, the state legislature, and the governor. This is definitely not something you can do alone. And it wouldn’t be accomplished without the support and cooperation of each town’s sheriff. “The town sheriffs do not have the authority to allow the establishment of a new militia, but they have the power to hinder or recommend it.”
