Building a Military Empire in Another World

First Contact

As Michael arrives at the newly discovered island with the first fleet. He decided to make use of his abilities.

First, he decided to summon facilities and technologies up to modern standard, second, he built a defense around it, third, he summoned a group of people whose task is to exploit essential minerals that could help them boost up industrialization as he didn't want to rely too much on his ability.

He completed this within one day without break, such a thing in the real world is completely labor-intensive and can be built in a ten year or so but Michael finished it within a day.

It was impossible but thanks to his system, he was able to.

The moment he finished, he returned back to a warship, USS Enterprise, and slept soundly in the executive room as they returned to Willow Town.

Since he summoned everything needed for construction, he wasn’t needed for a while and will only come back if the supply is exhausted.

Additionally, having a million people in his hands, the chain of command has significantly changed. Making Michael to be the supreme commander or commander-in-chief or supreme excellency, while Raphael being the vice-excellency.

It was more of an administrative position rather than a military one but the fact that Raphael was elated of being promoted as the vice-excellency means that it was okay.

Though Michael wanted to see her in action.

…

Returning back to Willow Town, Michael wakes up and completely renovated the whole city just like he did on the island. Changing buildings from world war two to modern one.

Since the town was rather small compared to the island, Michael found it easy and completed it within six hours.

Now that he finished all necessary things, Michael returned to his oval office and wore his pair of eyeglasses, and continued working, administratively.

Now that he became the president of the Willow Town and a boost of troops and people, his work significantly increased as stacked of paper from the table high enough to become a mountain.

It was just two weeks and yet, he managed to raise his level to 67, allowing him to have the best military and technology equipment.

From that day, everything goes fine until one day he receives a report from Raphael.

…

On that day, in the White House, winter is still blowing. Two weeks after his modernization program. Raphael suddenly entered the door, startling Michael who was busy sorting some documents and files.

“Raphael, what’s the rush?” Michael asked, looking at Raphael's facial expression, she was having a serious look as if what she’ll report is an emergency.

“Sir, we’ve detected a lot of signatures from our satellites heading towards our location. Numbering at least 1,500.”

“1,500?” Michael repeated, “By signatures, you mean people right?”

“Yes sir!”

1,500 was quite a large number, why would 1,500 people be marching towards their location?

“Who are they?” Michael asked.

Sophia handed him some files that contained satellite imagery.

“They are people who came from Maltrom City, since the visibility from the satellite is poor due to weather conditions, I’ve mobilized our troops to meet them.”

“Troops? How many?” Michael asked as he took a sip from his coffee—.

“A battalion sir!” She valiantly replied.

Michael spat out the coffee inadvertently after hearing the numbers meeting the unknowns.

“A battalion? What the—are they armed? What did you consider mobilizing an entire battalion just to meet those 1,500 people?”

Michael was quite dumbfounded at this moment. Considering the cost of mobilization and the number of resources needed to execute it was tremendously high.

Even though he has a system, he already built a monetary system which means they can’t just mobilize troops for free.

An operation conducted by a battalion could cost hundreds of dollars. Just what is Raphael thinking?

“Raphael, what are their rules of engagement?”

“It’s simple sir, if they act hostile to us, they will be killed in an instant.”

“Hmm...so who’s in command in this operation?”

“Me sir…”

Michael felt a sudden urge to chide her but he contained it. Her actions were reasonable though since they don’t know what they are dealing with. It’s better to be ready than not.

Michael stepped forward and placed his both hands on her shoulder. This made Raphael startle a bit.

“Mr. President?” She said, looking at him dumbfoundedly in the eye. However it was quite different from Michael as he looked at her pitifully,

“I’ll take command of this operation...Raphael, for now, you continue your work.”

“Eh?... Sir, why are you looking at me depressingly like that? Did I fail again as your second in command? Sir, please notice me…Jeez.”

…

Meanwhile, 30 kilometers away from the Willow Town, a battalion composed of 50 M1A2C Battle Tanks, 15 Leopard 2A7, 25 M2 Brandley, and 600 units armed with the latest infantry weapon such as the M4 Carbine.

The engines of the tank roared loudly as it traversed the uneven roads of the land.

They were not yet paved since the higher-ups decided to improve the logistics line from the inside first and since the Empire of Liberty doesn’t have a connection from a city or a country. Building a road from that is not a priority.

Just by looking at their mighty roar, any person who witnesses this would tremble on its might.

Meanwhile, from the sky, a squadron of Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter and Mil Mi-28 attack helicopter were hovering in the sky for ground support. Not only that, utility helicopters such as UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-53 Sikorsky helicopters containing soldiers are in the skies as well.

From the sea, A world war 2 warships such as the USS Iowa and HMS Prince of Wales traversing the river moved their main batteries toward the direction of 1,500 people.

Even if they are battleships from 80 years ago, they are retrofitted with the latest radars, computers, and automated firing control systems. A ship that needed at least thousands of sailors was reduced to hundreds.

AWACS and Drones are deployed as well.

Judging from this scale, it was completely nonsensical, exaggerating, and overpowered. To mobilize this great number just to intercept 1,500 people is just insane.

The old man leading thousands of people back to their homeplace, Sirius, heard something rapping from above. It grew louder and louder until he ordered all of them to halt their movement.

He peered in the horizon, focusing on his two senses, sights and hearing.

Until a faint light can be seen across the field. Shaking the earth as it menacingly approached them slowly.

All of his people got frightened and anxious at the sight of a metal box approaching them.

Moments later, a rapping sound that is bothering his senses appeared from the sky. It was a flying metal with a metal rotating atop of it.

Everyone froze at the sight, not daring to move, as it may have endangered their lives but Sirius, who’s the mayor daringly moved forward to take a closer look.

Another moment passed, a person wearing an unusual uniform approached him while aiming a metal stick at him.

He moved his mouth but it was in a different language, he tried to understand but to no avail.

And then from one people turned to hundreds as they began fanning out, trying to encircle them.

“Who are these people?” Sirius asked himself, this was his first time seeing such a great number of people coming from the direction of Willow Town.

In addition, they were all wearing the same unusual uniform and a metal stick that seems to be their weapon.

And then Sirius who was filled with questions was suddenly answered by something alien.

— “Do not move! Do not move! This is the military of the Empire of Liberty, we mean you no harm, I repeat we mean you no harm!”

A voice sounded from the sky speaking their language finally answered all the questions they had in mind. Though they haven’t heard of a country called Empire of Liberty, it looks like they are taking their words seriously.

A man who approached him talked to him again.

“Who is your leader?” A man with the metal stick asked him suddenly.

“I’m Sirius, the lord of Willow Town.”

“The lord huh? I’m Sergeant Ivan of the Empire of Liberty, we have received orders from the higher that you, as the lord, shall convince your people to go with us. Don’t worry we won’t hurt you unless you acted in a way we don’t like.”

“O-Of course! I will gladly talk to my people and asked them for their cooperation.”

“Good, now please.”

Having no choice but to comply with his command, Sirius talked to his personal knights who are unable to move due to the overwhelming force of the enemy. He ordered them to pass a message to all the 1,500 people to cooperate with them.

…

This day marks the first contact.
