In a forest clearing, a void teared through space and with it a man came out.
*Inhale* "Aaahhh, so this is the new world, the air smells cleaner than the city and it looks like I'm in a forest? Well, at least it's better than being summoned in a castle with entitled kings and nobles that expect you to wipe their assess and be a slave to them." said Arnold as he regained his clarity.
However, just as he was looking around, a sudden backlash hit him and he found himself in a kaleidoscopic world where he can't tell which is up and which is down. But after a moment, the weird event disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Arnold was dazed on what that thing was before he realized that he suddenly has information he didn't have before.
For example, the world he is in is called Akorra and it is about twice the size of Earth. There are 5 continents in this world which are:
(Easokune, located across a large ocean to the east. It is an island country consisting mostly of highlands where both human and demi-human species live together in harmony and mostly focus on agriculture. Due to this, their seafaring abilities are a grade higher compared to the other continents. It is the smallest continent of the five
Verglas, located directly at the northernmost part. It is a frozen wasteland with little inhabitants due to its inhospitable nature which consists mostly of monsters and fauna that are strong enough to survive and is the fourth largest continent.
East Sunix, located just below and west of Verglas. This continent is blessed with an abundance of natural resources, experiences four seasons, and is mostly inhabited by demi-humans like elves, dwarves, and beast people that looks like humans with animal features on them. It is the third largest continent.
West Sunix, sharing a border east of East Sunix. Although not as blessed with resources as its western counterpart, it still retains a huge amount of resources and is blessed with flatlands making it suitable for farming and sustaining a large population. It is strictly a human dominated continent that looks down on demi-humans and mostly instigates wars on its neighboring continent for spoils and resources. It is also the second largest continent.
Anihc, located at the middle, it enjoys its position as the main trading hub of all the continents. Due to its power over trades and goods it achieved its status as the strongest continent from its access to other technologies and knowledge from all of the continents combined. It is the largest continent of Akorra.)

After the brief geography lesson, Arnold suddenly came to and digested every other knowledge in this world. "Ah, my head is spinning. A little heads up would be nice before a trip to mushroom ville, anyway, now I have a general idea of this world let's see what my abilities are." As Arnold said this, he tried summoning a HK417 but no matter how long he waited it didn't appear.
"Huh? That's strange, I thought I put summoning armaments as one of my abilities. Hmm... if I remember it right from all the manga and fanfics I've read then saying 'Status' should give a game like option-" before Arnold can even finish his words, true to his knowledge a transparent system interface showed up infront of him.

The first thing Arnold clicked is the Summoned Armaments and what he saw made him aghast because of what it says:
[Summoned Armaments]
-The technology and equipment which can be summoned are strictly limited to what has been developed before and on 1945 Common Era (CE). This ability is restricted to the user’s current level, increasing levels will in turn raise the summon limit & lessen some restrictions. At this time, the number of soldiers and weapons are limited to a certain degree.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
'Shit, is this the restriction it said before I confirmed? This puts a wedge in my plans, but I guess it's better than nothing.' thought Arnold as the thinks on the brighter side of things.
"Well, let's look at the other options while we're at it."

-[Settings for Military Summons (Soldiers)]
Summoned Soldiers’ characteristics and parameters can be modified in advance (Gender, Age, Personality, Weapons and Equipment).
If parameters are not set, gender, age, and personality of a summoned individual will be randomized, summoned weapons and equipment per individual will be at the summoners choosing.
Additional information, soldiers that are killed in action can be replaced but the same soldiers that are previously summoned can no longer be summoned.
-[Important Ability Notes]
It is possible to summon via thought or voice commands, without viewing the menu screen.
Ability to summon Personnel and Equipment can be regulated.
"...The restriction is really as horrible as it looks, while the size of forces I can summon is not to be scoffed at it's not a size I'm comfortable with, especially with the unknown dangers lurking around in this world that wasn't on Earth *sigh* Let's just summon some troops to help me, but first-" As Arnold said this, he summoned a uniform fit for a leader and some weapons for protection.

'So, this is how a gun feels. Just the thought of holding one makes me smile.' Arnold thought as he smiled.
"Okay, so next are the soldiers, hmm I guess the main parameters I should set is that they have to be competent, loyal, have a sense of duty, honorable, courageous, knowledgeable, compassionate and respectful. It says I can choose gender and personality right? Then how about I make the Commander a woman, a beautiful one at that that is tender, absolutely loyal, and knowledgeable to all things related to maintaining a country for no reasons, ABSOLUTELY no reasons at all hehe. I also need to choose what equipment they'll need."
And with just a thought, Arnold summons 250 soldiers wearing Pea Dot camouflage standing straight, in perfect order and ready to go. A blonde woman wearing M43 uniform and cap filled with insignias on her shoulder is standing behind a group of men.
'Woah, they look badass.'
While Arnolds feels a wave of tension coming from the formation of soldiers, the woman commander steps forward, salutes to him and begins to give commands.
"Company, Attention! My Leader, 250 soldiers reporting for duty and are ready to obey your commands, sir!"
After saying that, all the other soldiers saluted to Arnold. Returning back to his senses, Arnold stepped forward and responds back, though still rather nervous.
"At ease. Thank you for that uh?"
As Arnold commanded, he asked who the female commander was.
"Reporting sir, Major Charlotte Williams, Company Commander. I will also serve as My Leader's second in command and military aide, sir!" the female commander responded.
"Alright, Major Williams, I look forward to working with you and your unit." Arnold said in a commanding voice that he suddenly had.
"Yes my Leader, please entrust everything to me and I will serve you with all that I have."
'Alright, a devoted beauty with the smarts. I feel so lucky with her by my side.' Arnold thought.
"Anyway, what's the male to female ratio of our unit, Major Williams?" Noticing some feminine faces, Arnold asks the composition of his troops.
"My Leader, 230 soldiers out of 250 are male and the rest including me are female."
"Mhm, good, good. For now, order your men to scout the perimeter and find a suitable place where I can summon a base. It will serve as our main operating base until further notice, is that clear?" Arnold commanded to his aide.
"Sir, yes sir!" Charlotte saluted before turning around to give commands.
"Alright men, you heard our Leader, split into teams and scout the perimeter to secure a base! Report back if you encounter some problems and make sure that no one dies! Am I clear!"
"""Ma'am! Yes Ma'am!"""
With that, Arnold with his little army set off to secure their would be base of operations.
