Chapter 768: Entertaining an Entitled Prince Part I

While Berengar had declared war on the Catholic World, Itami was busy with her grand ambitions to invade Korea. Through extensive effort, her warships had begun production, and her transport ships were popping out of the shipyards.

After some conscription efforts, she now had a field Army of fifty thousand men armed with her latest weapons, and a reserve of twenty-five thousand men who would stay on the Japanese mainland and maintain order in her absence. 

Through the past few months she had developed not only single shot bolt action rifles, revolvers, and breach loading artillery. She also developed Gatling guns for use in her army. Ultimately, she decided to shelve the later Taisho era uniforms that she had previously employed with her forces, and shift to Meiji style uniforms instead. She personally preferred the superfluous attire that the Generals of the Meiji era wore.
