Mu Observation Mission to Japan

**Mu Observation Mission to Japan** was the establishment of Mu's relationship with Japan after making first contact. Mu sent the observers in order to watch the battle against Parpaldia Empire and investigate in Japan.

## Events leading to the Observation Mission

After Nishinomiyako Massacre, the Japanese government had declared war on Parpaldia Empire. Because Mu had ties to both the Parpaldia Empire and Japan, they were currently holding a meeting to decide which country they should request to send an observer. If the side they chose ended up losing, there was a very high chance the observer would become wrapped up in the conflict and killed, so it was very important to thoroughly consider which side to choose. If Mu were to request to dispatch an observer, they were certain either country would gladly accept.

Considering the previous reports after first contact with Japan, Mu believed that Japan had an advanced machine-based society, and that they may even have advanced past Mu’s technology in some areas. They read the reports countless times. They were more interested in how true Japan was and believed possible that their technology was above Mu. They thought that there was no doubt if it was enough to overcome the Parpaldia Empire's strength of force and numbers. They had heard many things from Mu diplomats working in Japan, as well as the members of parliament who have gone to visit their country, both the stories they told and the information they included in their reports.

The meeting concluded with the superpower Mu deciding to send an observer to Japan’s side.

## Observers

There were two people observers from the Mu.

* Technical Officer Myrus
* Tactical Officer Lassan

## Traveling Transportation

Technical Officer Myrus had been summoned by the upper echelons of the military.

After that declaration, they went over the logistics in more detail:

* *Mu was 21,000 km from Japan. This was too far for any single aircraft to fly.*
* *That being the case, they would first fly on the passenger plane with the longest range, the reciprocating engine aircraft La Chaos (cruising speed 280 km/h, cruising distance 7000 km), to the international allied airport, then stop at 3 relay points along the way until they arrived in Japan.*
* *They would refuel as quickly as possible at each relay point, but it would still take 5 days in total.*
* *After having contacted Japan about it, as soon as they enter Japan’s airspace, they will be escorted by combat aircraft and land at an airport in the western city of Fukuoka.*
* *Japan warned that it was possible that they might carry out their rescue operation before the observers even arrived. Mu acknowledged this and decided to send the observers anyway. They determined that there was still a high possibility of being able to observe live combat.*

As soon as the meeting concluded, Myrus and Lassan made preparations to leave immediately. Three hours later, they boarded the state-of-the-art reciprocating engine passenger aircraft *La Chaos* with food and supplies and began the long journey to Japan from Ainank Airport.

On the fifth morning, the passenger aircraft *La Chaos* was finally nearing Japan. They would soon enter Japan’s “air defense identification zone” at which point Japan’s combat aircraft should arrive to escort them.

Myrus had heard last time that Japan had a propulsion method other than the reciprocating engine, so he couldn’t wait to find out what it was. In contrast to him, Lassan was much more reserved.

There were two booms of thunder that could be clearly heard even from inside their plane. A combat aircraft shaped like an arrowhead with no propellers passed by them. The machine made a sharp turn, came up next to them, and then slowed down to match their speed. Mu’s passenger aircraft was guided by the F-15J Kai into Japan.

The two officers were stunned. Lassan figured out that the aircraft didn’t have any propellers which it had developed jet aircrafts with supersonic flow engine for surpassing the speed of sound.

After some time, they finally entered Japan’s airspace, near Fukuoka Airport. They saw Japan for the first time from the skies where was a large advanced city. They landed on a pristine runway where there were numerous, giant, beautiful passenger aircrafts parked in a line at the airport.

Myrus shuddered when he thought of the importance of their assignment.

## Parpaldia Empire Reporting

In the Parpaldia Empire's capital Esthirant, First Foreign Affairs Department, Deputy Head Hans, who was extremely nervous, gave various documents to Elt. The documents reported that Parpaldia Empire had been closely monitoring any requests for observers from the other superpowers, regarding their conflict with the Fenn Kingdom. Elt asked him when Mu’s observer would be arriving on Parpaldia. He replied Elt that Mu had declared not be sending an observer to the empire. He appeared conflicted that they discovered Mu had sent observers to Japan instead. Elt was jaw-dropped in full disbelief.

Elt sent her first department staff Nisol to visit the Mu embassy in Parpaldia Empire to speak with Mu ambassador Mugei. He was carried out to confirm the reason for the Mu observer to Japan. While Mugei was afraid that’s confidential information and did not speak because he was out coercive, Nisol was relieved to hear that hostile without the will of the Empire, as he recognized that the Empire cannot win against Japan. Nisol felt his back break out into a cold sweat by Mugei's personal reaction included a kind of awe. After the impromptu meeting ended, he immediately returned to his office and began writing an urgent investigation report.

## On Board a Destroyer

Technical Officer Myrus and Tactical Officer Lassan were watching the events of the Battle of Fenn Kingdom from on board a JMSDF Akizuki-class destroyer. Japan’s single warship challenged Parpaldia’s fleet of twenty ships and one-sidedly slaughtered them all.

This JMSDF Akizuki-class destroyer had a highly-advanced design, and compared to Mu’s acclaimed *La Kasami*, it was much longer but also much skinnier. The single cannon had ridiculous range, and its rate of fire was completely beyond their common sense. The most surprising thing was that, despite their ship and the enemy’s ships and the ocean all moving and constantly changing the angle of attack, its accuracy was 100%. They felt their own sense of combat logic crumbling to pieces. If cannon could fire so accurately, they certainly did only need one of them. Myrus was mentally conducting this technical discourse as watched other fifteen JMSDF destroyers blasted 183 Parpaldia imperial ships-of-the-lines by 127mm single-mounted rapid-fire gun over the waters off Nishinomiyako.

## Parpaldia Empire Emergency Research Report

Back to the Parpaldia Empire's capital Esthirant, Deputy Head Hans summarized the five-page document of urgent investigation report from Nisol to Remille, Elt, and Arde at the department head’s office in the first foreign affairs department that they were concerned about why the Second Civilization superpower Mu sent an observer to Japan for the conflict with Fenn. This is the result of an investigation based on some information they received when the Mu ambassador was questioned about his country’s reasoning. He replied that Mu determined that Japan would be the victor of the Fenn conflict. Remille, Elt, and Arde were stunned which he also replied Mu’s analysis on information that they themselves collected concluded that Japan would defeat their forces.

Supreme Commander Arde believed in the based on the military’s analysis that Japan has gunboats that their level of technology is low for an average country inside the civilized areas, but extraordinarily high for one outside the civilized areas. Elt asked him about Japan could defeat them if his scenario were true. He replied with a smile to not worry and fear about Japan because there is some concern that a drawn-out battle could result in a lack of cannon shells, it’s impossible for thousands of ships to use blitzkrieg tactics. He should sent reinforcements if the enemy attacked with all those forces at once before they ran out of ammunition.

However, shortly after the defeat in the Battle of Fenn Kingdom, a young 1st department official entered the room covered in sweat and reported that all fleets and ground forces had all been eliminated and surrendered to the allied forces of Japan and Fenn. The intense Remille proposed to Emperor Ludius a declaration of annihilation on the nation of Japan and was acknowledged.

After reporting of the defeat, Arde was baffled to come up with feasible countermeasures for dealing with a larger military force which he knew that Mu sent an observer to Japan and finding out that their analysis showed Japan would emerge victorious. He looked at all of their information on Japan again where he had calculated Japan’s war potential using the report on the naval battle with the Louria Kingdom, but maybe some of the information in it was inaccurate. He believed that Mu could have possibly exported their machine science weapons and technology to Japan. He ordered his men to reinvestigate Japan in much more detail.

## Research in Japan

Technical Officer Myrus and Tactical Officer Lassan were chatting with each other in the room at the hotel in Japan’s capital city Tokyo. They experienced the greatest shock of their lives on board the Akizuki-class destroyer as observers during the mission to measure Japan’s strength. They studied and investigated about technology and weapons on the books where they bought in Japan that they had been translating.

Furthermore, the book made mention of a number of other ridiculous weapons that they wouldn’t be able to observe during this mission. They learned about a ship that could dive into the water called a submarine with guided torpedoes. All of these different weapons had been completely unimaginable to them. And even if Mu were to devote all of its technological resources, they couldn’t possibly build any of them. And the overwhelming power that Mu saw this time wasn’t even a fraction of the might that Japan had at its disposal. They now knew that Mu did not have any technical superiority whatsoever.

While they were wary of Japan’s hidden power, they were also relieved that Mu was on friendly terms with Japan. After seeing all this strength and technology, through imports and exports, Mu might be able to develop countermeasures for the Gra Valkas Empire. In terms of technology, Japan was way too far advanced. There were just too many things Myrus just didn’t understand. Especially this LSI integrated circuits thing and this high-performance computing device they called a “computer,” he can’t even begin to understand the theory behind them. They understood the concept behind Japan weapons like guided missiles to destroy easily against ships and aircrafts.

Although, they didn’t have enough information on the Gra Valkas Empire about their national power which they thought Gra Valkas were about fifty years ahead of Mu. Myrus had no idea how they measure up to Gra Valkas Empire. They could try to research more to compare between Japan and Gra Valkas through the history of science and technology in Japan.

## Aftermath

The two observers from Mu continued to investigate in Japan before they returned home to Mu for reporting to the Mu government with full information, books and photographs.

After the Battle of Altaras, the Parpaldia imperial soldiers reported to Elt and Remille that Japan used flying machine to attack them. To the best of their knowledge, only Mu and the Holy Milishial Empire can make flying machines in this world. Mu had diplomatic relations with Japan. For this reason, the Parpaldia’s Imperial country has a suspicion that Mu is behind Japan and that a proxy war is set up against the Parpaldia Empire.

Since the Parpaldia Empire has confirmed Mu’s involvement with Japan's military, Remille angrily summoned Mu's ambassador and Arde kept worrying over the threat of Mu.

Remille, the department heads and all of the other department officials asked Mu's ambassador Mugei to explain the truth of the matter. However, of course, it is only an appeal from the Mu side, and while stunning the imperial consideration of the Parpaldia Empire, he denied Mu own involvement and committed them a grave misunderstanding. He explained them Japan's true power with numerous photographs where Technical Officer Myrus from Mu government gave him information.

They were stunned speechless. Afterwards, the officials all remained in the meeting room. If what Mu’s ambassador said was true, then they had scorned an ultra-superpower country, provoked them, and massacred their citizens. Furthermore, the worst part was that they started a genocidal war with them. They made a grave mistake from beginning without actually investigating and analyzing the Japan’s capabilities.

For the first time, the department heads and officials anxiously knew that they went in a war with Japan, a very advanced scientific civilization, not a barbarian country, and that Parpaldia Empire was in danger of being a dead country.
