Before the crossing, Roland, as an earthling, generally supported the government's gun control. However, now that he has traveled to the fantasy world of Vares and become the ruler of the emerging country of the Far East, Roland's views on civilian gun ownership have also changed with the change of his identity.

The Far East is a vast and sparsely populated country, and the country's standing army is too weak compared to the vast territory, and in this vast land, not only human beings and intelligent creatures that get along well with human beings, such as dwarves, gnomes, elves, halflings, but also a wide variety and a large number of evil species, such as various goblins, orcs, ogres, trolls, hill giants, gnolls, dark elves, etc., and even demons and undead, These barbaric species, which are hostile to the human community and difficult to communicate, add up to at least an order of magnitude more than the citizens of the Far East in this land, and almost every day towns and villages are attacked by inhuman creatures, and people who travel in the wild are attacked at all times, and it is difficult to maintain law and order with the military and police forces within the government system alone.

In the face of such a dilemma, the only solution is to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the militia forces in various places in order to respond to the monster attacks in a timely and effective manner. However, the above-mentioned monsters are naturally more fierce and warlike than humans, and some also have the ability to cast spells, and the militia armed with leather armor, swords, and bows and crossbows often fall behind when facing these murderous monsters, and they have to pay a lot of sacrifices in every battle. The Far East was already in dire need of population, and Roland didn't want to see his hard-earned militia losing blood to maintain law and order, so he had no choice but to try to upgrade the militia's equipment.

Obviously, under the current technical conditions, the "Wind Gun" is the best equipment to quickly increase the combat effectiveness of the militia.

In addition to internal worries, the Far East also has huge external risks. The Yassanian Empire has been in turmoil for a year, with frequent setbacks to the radical reforms implemented by the Frank and Müller governments, a rife of rebellion in the country, and a flood of displaced people. In such a predicament, sooner or later the imperial authorities will have to embark on the old path of waging wars abroad to divert internal contradictions, and sending troops to the Far East is the only option for the empire to divert internal contradictions.

With the current national defense forces in the Far East, it was quite difficult to guard against the imperial army's crusade to the east, and it was necessary to carry out a national mobilization and call on the whole people to fight the invaders together. If that day comes, the militia organizations in various places will be able to undertake multiple tasks in the war of resistance, depending on the equipment in their hands. Taking advantage of the fact that the war has not yet broken out, every additional Far Eastern militia with the "Wind Spear" will increase its strength in the future when the whole people resist the war.

As for Rudolph's concern about the "rebellion of the militia with guns", Roland admits that there is indeed such a possibility in theory, but there are priorities, and if the imminent internal and external troubles are not fully resolved, the Kolas regime in the Far East will not be able to survive at all, and where will it survive the day when it will be overthrown by the people at the bottom.

Taking a step back, even if there is a militia riot in the future, the government should immediately reflect on whether what it has done has deviated from the will of the people, otherwise even if the people do not have guns in their hands, will they not still rise up against tyranny with cold weapons? Do the hungry people of the Assanian Empire have guns in their hands? The great peasant uprising that is in full swing in the current empire is not a lesson for those in power!

Roland managed to convince his father to agree to sell the "Spear of the Wind" to the national militia. His Majesty Rudolph is the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the country, and the militia system is also under his jurisdiction, and according to the powers granted to him by the constitution, Rudolph can completely bypass the cabinet and directly supply air rifles to the national militia. However, in view of public opinion, His Majesty did not want to be arbitrary, and still put forward Roland's initiative at a cabinet meeting in accordance with the process, and unsurprisingly attracted many objections.

After a painstaking debate, a majority of cabinet ministers voted in favour of the militia being equipped with air rifles, and Roland's proposal passed without any danger.

It was already the beginning of July, and Roland had spent a lot of energy in the cabinet meeting, and felt the need to relax, so he took Lyudmila, Tonya, Nikita, and Veronica to the "Misty Swamp" to hunt. The marshland has now been transformed into a wetland park, with a small area of safety rarely infested by wild animals open to visitors.

Roland had a great weekend in the company of his girlfriends. Later, on the "Fireside Chat" show, he recounted an anecdote about shooting a mallard duck with a gun, but did not mention to the audience that he was still thinking about how to sell the "Wind Gun" during the hunt.

Back at Krasbourg from his vacation, Roland's desk was already stacked with orders from all over the country for the "Spear of the Wind". Since June, the major newspapers and radio programs in the Far East have been hyping up the fashionable topic of "Guns of the Wind," and readers and listeners have not been tempted to do so, especially adult men, when they learn that anyone with reserve experience can order "Guns of the Wind," and countless hearts stir at the same time, and when they return home and count their money, they immediately write to the address given in the mail-order brochure and order it.

Roland had long known that men mostly preferred firearms, but he didn't expect that people's enthusiasm was too much, and this Nima had accumulated tens of thousands of purchase orders in less than half a month, and the little production capacity of the Icewind Dale Arsenal couldn't cope with it at all.

The predicament in front of him seemed familiar, and Roland quickly remembered that he had encountered this kind of undesirable scene when he first sold magic radios.

After a little thought, he decided to repeat the same trick and asked Lyudmila to help sort out the order documents, while Tonya went to the central bank to find information.

Lyudmila is very quick to do things, and the statistics compiled are not as expected by Roland, and the customers who order air rifles in their individual capacity account for only 30% of all orders, and the real big customers are mainly from two types of institutions.

The first is the "public fund" under the management committees of the various village communes. After paying the agricultural tax, the members also have to take a part of the income and pay it to the public fund. This fund covers local social security, medical care, pensions, and maintenance of public facilities, including expenses related to militia training.

Roland sells the "Spear of the Wind" to the Far Eastern militia organizations, and the public funds of the local communes, as the "money bags" of the local militia companies, naturally have to take out a sum of money to buy air rifles, bullets and magic inflators for the local militia companies, and the specific wholesale amount depends on the size and financial resources of the local communes. The larger the size and population of a village commune, the greater the number of militias, the greater the financial resources, and the greater the demand for "wind guns".
