## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

When Japan had declared war on Parpaldia Empire, the Mu government decided to send Lassan to Japan as a military observer with his technical officer, Myrus.

Myrus and Lassan traveled to Japan for observation mission on the state-of-the-art reciprocating engine passenger aircraft *La Chaos*. When the La Chaos passenger aircraft flew nearing Japan, 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. They are escorted by the JASDF's main fighter, the Mitsubishi F-15J towards Fukuoka. They 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, Myrus and Lassan finally entered Japan’s airspace, near Fukuoka Airport and saw Japan for the first time from the skies where was a large advanced city.

During the Battle of Fenn Kingdom between Japan and Parpaldia Empire in Fenn, Myrus and Lassan were sent to observe the battle. Aboard the JMSDF Akizuki-class destroyer Suzutsuki, they were watching the events by the capabilities of the destroyer as it single-handedly defeated the Parpaldia imperial fleet of twenty ships using a single cannon. Lassan's common sense collapsed, and he came to realize that his Mu homeland could not defeat Japan no matter what.

At the hotel's room in the Japan’s capital city Tokyo, Myrus and Lassan were chatting with each other what 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.

While the two officers 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. Lassan asked Myrus how to see Japan. Myrus couldn't help but notice in terms of technology, Japan was surpassed ahead of Mu. There were just too many things he just didn’t understand. Especially this LSI integrated circuits thing and this high-performance computing device they called a "computer," he couldn’t even begin to understand the theory behind them. Lassan was surprised the most is how different Mu very concepts of war and combat were. To put it simply, Mu navy could easily rout Parpaldia’s navy, but against Japan, Mu would end up the same as Parpaldia’s navy ended up in that last battle. They simply had no way to outspend Japan on weaponry.

Then Lassan asked Myrus what thoughts of the Gra Valkas Empire, but Myrus didn't know which they had not 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 Japan and Gra Valkas through the history of science and technology in Japan.

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

### New World War Arc
