Kiyosu

May 31st, 1556

I was walking around Kiyosu Nobuna made me the overseer of this castle town there were 3 districts the Military, Civilian and, Industrial as I designated them. The industrial district is exactly how it sounds craftspeople and workshops. The Civilian contains housing etc. The Military district contains barracks, weapon smiths, and armories. I currently have been working on the development of a new district and new Industrial district when I was given control last month there were 10,000 people here now there are 30,000.

Currently, the amount of Bandits has reduced significantly due to military crackdown Operation 'Swift Justice' is a great success. In other news, I'm setting up my own permanent army most of them consist of the men who fought with me during the campaign against the Imagawa which is around 500. I pay them directly with cash and drill them to install discipline into them to prevent them from looting unless I order them to it was also to make sure that they don't drink of the job or smoke Opium which helped lead to the Chinese defeat during the 1st and 2nd Opium wars as they say those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.

I won't be doomed to repeat that bit of history at least. Anyway, im getting off the topic of the development of Kiyosu due to the massive growth the Civilian district grew significantly there were many people talking and walking around the-

"OOF!" I feel something hit my legs as I look down to see a little kid had run into me the area around me had gone silent instantly and people in the area watch me. Did they really expect me to hurt the kid or something it's just a little kid for god's sake! I kneel down and bring the kid to his feet and pat him I look at him.

"You okay kid?" I ask the kid simply looks up at me and nods timidly "well go to your parents it's dangerous for a kid like you to be wandering alone in a big town like this." The kid simply nods again and runs off I simply stand back up and continue walking to my destination. The castle, it was just earthworks that were 10 meters tall I simply walk up the dirt ramp and thought the wooden gate think of Shogun 2 total war the basic castle.

I was the only officer here really no one else was here only the guards and the people who work in the Tenshu that's it, there were 4 wooden towers one in each corner each with 2 men armed with OLRs (Oda Long Rifles) there were also 2 man patrols on the walls a bit unneeded. I walk into the Tenshu it was a bit cooler and take off the two swords on my hips and carry both in one hand as I walked up to my room on the second floor.

I opened the sliding door to see a ninja I simply sigh "What is it this time?" The ninja simply turned around to reveal a woman you guys remember her right? The ninja I shot back at Bloody Base, she was under the command of Hattori Hanzo before I shot her and for some reason, he put her under my command her name was *Aki Haruka she was 5 foot 9 has brown eyes and black hair.

"Nothing really important has happened." She states

"Then why are you here?" my eyebrow raised. Also if you are wondering how she is okay with this, she's not okay with this but as I quote 'I have to follow orders no matter how much I dislike them' I can respect that but it's still a bit awkward between me and her. I mean who would not be I shot her and now she has to follow my orders.

She gives me a glare I just stare back with a blank expression I simply place my swords on the ground. "Look I should be the one who has something against you I mean your sabotage got 500 of my men killed," She winces a bit "look its been 1 month you are the one whose making this hard on both of us and also I have found out a long time ago that hating people is useless or counter-productive unless the absolutely deserve it," I glare at her with a scowl "many people would believe that you deserve to be killed for the lives you took," I look at her she looks very nervous, I smiled and let out a chuckle "man, I'm such a hypocrite I talk about how many would think you deserve to die for the deaths of 500 while I ordered the deaths of over 5,000 Imagawa troops and shot 2 Imagawa generals myself!" I began to laugh at my hypocrisy like it was my favorite joke unnerving Aki even more. I calm myself down and look at her "Look I understand you hold a grudge against me for shooting you but remember hate can get people killed, " She opens her mouth to say something but I cut her off "trust me I know I spent 3 years fighting in a desert because of it," I simply sigh and rub my eyes "you're dismissed." I look at her she simply looks at me.

"Hai." She simply bows to me slightly and disappears in shadows, looks like I'm starting to get somewhere for the entire last month she wouldn't even bow to me but I liked it better when she didn't bow to me, to be honest. I let out a yawn and look at the time it was currently 8 pm whelp time to sleep.

10 Days later...

June 9th

I was currently standing in a tower viewing a bronze cannon in the training field. I was smiling widely at it, the 12-pound Napoleon with a range of 1,600 which is almost a mile 3 more are to be produced and currently I had the men train with the one we had right now and shot at targets 1,500 yards away outside of the military district currently we only had solid shot, Explosive shot, and canister. The bombs have fuses that can be modified from 5 to 30 seconds.

I currently had explosive shells in the development and percussion caps.

*boom*

The sound of a cannon going off reaches my ears as 4 seconds later an impact is seen on the target. Smoke surrounds the area the cannon is but the crew starts to reload swabbing the bore to snuff out any remaining sparks and then to dry it. They load the powder and ram it down the barrel, next comes the explosive shot it gets rammed in as well, putting in the fuse and lighting it.

*boom*

4 seconds dirt shoots up from the target mound then. It goes up in an explosion tossing, even more, dirt into the air as dust shoot up from around the explosion from shrapnel. I smile widely as soon as the rest are produced a nice demonstration to Nobuna and everyone else was in order.

4 hours later

The cannon was stored into an armory as the 1st and 2nd ORC were spread out in 20 squads of 25 men standing and crouching each with a designated leader they were wearing to what looks like Union uniforms from the American Civil war the main differences were instead of the normal brass letters U.S on the caps they had the flower of the Oda clan and the pants are a light grey while the coats are black with a bit of yellow on some parts of the uniform also they had shovels strapped to their backs, they also have shoulder pads and chest plates the armor was relatively light so that it doesn't restrict their movement.

Also, a bit more on the chain of command every company is split into 10 squads of 25 men and every squad can be split into fire teams of 5 people and 125 men or 5 squads makes up a platoon. So in a single rifle company, there are 50 fire teams,10 squads, or 2 platoons. Then there are the companies themselves 250 men each I only have 4 of these companies the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ORC. 2 ORCS make up a section while 4 or more companies make up a brigade which I'm in command of the only one.

Currently we are practicing section combat we have already practiced fire team and squad drills now were working on section fighting and then after that brigade fighting. I look at my watch it was currently 6:00 PM and the sun was going down with nice oranges and yellows painted across the evening sky. I was holding a loud speaker which was basically just a paper cone with a handle attached to it.

"TAKING FIRE!" I yell into it the men in the field crouched lower or hit the dirt immediately I was about to yell more orders but shadows appearing next to me interrupt me. I look to see Aki had appeared "what is it?" I ask with my eyebrow raised. She simply gives me a letter and disappears into shadows again. I still will not get used to that I yell into the loud speaker "RETURN FIRE!"

The sound of rifles going off with their signature *boom* reaches my ears but I pay no attention and read the letter. Ok I'll give you guys a basic rundown it was basically a visit from Nobuna, Sagara, Niwa, Riku, Saito Dosan, and the new girl Mitsuhide Akechi to inspect how Kiyosu was doing they will be staying for a small bit like 5 days they will be here by tomorrow I fold the letter and place it and place it into one of my pockets. I simply watch as my men practice their shooting while laying down and crouching and sigh it is going to be a long five days soon.

I just really hope Sagara does not flirt with Aki she would probably stab him... No not probably defiantly stab him.

I rub my forehead I hope they don't expect much out of me because I really feel like being lazy but might as well arrange some food or something for them when the reach the Tenshu. Wait hmmm... I wonder if any of them ever had a hamburger... wait I realize how long it been since I've eaten a pizza or a burger the thought of one makes me salivate I should totally introduce burgers and pizzas right now. The great Idea entered my head I yelled into the loud speaker "THAT'S IT FOR TODAY GREAT JOB DISMISSED!" I ran to the ladder and slid down it and began to run to where the cooks live.

A/N: Yo the next few chapters will be R&R (Rest and Recovery) and R&D (Research and Development) basically interludes until Inabayama Arc so yea. Also, does adding 12lb Napoleon cannons seem a bit too much but oh well it will make things a lot more interesting.

Also I'm in need of OCs /names for company commanders for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ORCs send then to me either by review or PM, please.

*I came up with the name Aki Haruka from looking up female Japanese names and finding ones that fit.
