"Let's all report the situation. Intelligence Department, you guys talk first."
In the large conference room, the crowd was already seated separately. At the main seat, the young man looked at everyone with a smile and said in a deep voice.
An officer stood up.
"Strategic intelligence deception is progressing well, and all goals have been initially achieved - the people in the Western Continent have been frightened by us and are eager for us to leave. They have even believed the rumor that we will move to an island in the Western Elf Continent. At present, they have sent
The army took over the cross-front defense line we left behind and confronted the puppet army. After completing the last move, we will also hand over the Revenge Port to them for a fee, and in exchange for a batch of minerals, food and other materials necessary for our early development."
"Because the barbarians are among our insiders, they seem to have believed the false information we provided them. They should not dare to use this...'little thing' to wake up the sleeping barbarian god and let him contact the mountains and seas.
And provide us with our situation. And even if we are contacted, I think the barbarian invasion forces on the other side of the mountains and seas will never think of the contents of our Plan C."
Officer Shen Chenhui reported, and then he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Sir, I'm curious. Did you plan it from the beginning? I heard that the insider discovered it as early as when Commander Lin... Chief of Staff Lin was assassinated?"
he asked curiously.
"It's just for leisure, but won't it be used now?"
Xie Ning replied, but he looked at Lin Qi next to him knowingly, and the two of them smiled in tacit understanding.
…
"Next, the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
After signaling the officer to sit down, he shouted in a clear voice.
The great elder stood up with a smile. Over the past few months, the old man seemed to have become much younger. Although he looked tired, his face was rosy, and his voice was even louder.
"Your Highness, in terms of construction, with the help of the soldiers, we have settled down. Dingbei Port has been completely constructed. Behind Dingbei Port, we have also established five core cities in each of the five star administrative districts to radiate to their surroundings.
The area is barely enough for us to live in. Moreover, the urban circles in each administrative district are continuing to expand amid intensive construction work - it’s just a pain for the soldiers.”
"It doesn't matter, using magic energy sequences is also a kind of training for them."
Xie Ning smiled and waved his hand, signaling the elder to continue.
…
The great elder also nodded.
"In terms of industry, under the guidance of Academician Qian and others, our first batch of technical personnel have completed training and established an industrial system similar to that of the home country, which is continuing to expand. Factories in various places are operating well, and it is expected to take a few months to half a year.
Within a few days, we will have an order of magnitude greater than that of a large province in the mother country, and an industrial level close to the modern technological level of the mother country - if we are given one to two years, we can even build an air attack carrier."
"In terms of agriculture, the food exchanged from Vengeance Port and the magical beasts hunted by the soldiers are enough for us to use until the end of autumn. And the people we transported in the early stage have rushed to sow seeds at the end of spring. By autumn, we don't need the soldiers anymore.
Let's go hunting for monsters. If we can be self-sufficient in food production, we will have a huge surplus - the land here is too fertile. Coupled with the mechanized agricultural production technology of the mother country, we may never starve."
The great elder said with a smile on his face.
Xie Ning also had a smile on his face: "It's not that we won't starve anymore, but sooner or later we have to raise our living standards to be on par with those in the mainland of the motherland - this is also the territory of the empire."
He said meaningfully and turned to Lin Qi.
…
"Future Chief of Staff, how is the army?"
he asked with a smile.
The unparalleled young general stood up.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Eighth Route Army Army has completed its formation and started training. With the Revenge Legion and the Blood Knight Legion as the main force, it has five light magic-armored infantry army groups and one heavy magic-armored army group. A total of more than 500,000 soldiers
people."
"Among them, the Demonic War Legion is dominated by the Revenge Legion Demonic War and the Blood Knight Legion, with more than 10,000 people. The average level of Demonic Warfare exceeds the standard of the Imperial Front Army and reaches the standard of the Imperial Army. The proportion of high-level Demonic Warfare is even better——
There are thousands of members in the Demon General Group."
"The Magic Armor Corps is based on the magic armor soldiers of the Revenge Legion, and has recruited many new soldiers, numbering 500,000. However, given that the soldiers have to adapt to higher-tech magic armor, the Magic Armor Corps is currently seriously lacking in various types of magic armor.
A variety of modern tanks, carriers, guns, equipment and other light and heavy magic equipment. Training with magic equipment cannot be achieved."
"The logistics equipment department and the military production department are coordinating, and the military factories are ordered to work overtime. Fortunately, the training of employees in various military factories is progressing well. Our Chinese compatriots are very savvy and now have a basic understanding of modern science and modern machines.
They are very enthusiastic and are learning and producing at the same time. Currently, major factories are operating at 50% and are continuing to increase.”
"It is expected that in a few months, we will have the ability to gradually equip the army with complete war magic equipment."
The girl general said proudly and closed the folder in front of her.
…
"very good."
Xie Ning nodded and looked at Academician Qian: "So, Academician, how is the progress of the science and technology department?"
"Your Highness, in terms of life magic equipment, the space rift neutralization field has covered all our activity areas."
"In terms of magical war equipment, the submarine and rotor-wing helicopter you proposed have been developed and put into trial operation, with good response. However, some magic war equipment experts said that these magical war equipment are not suitable for combat, but are suitable for battlefield rescue and reconnaissance.
, or for daily use."
"The submarine's sailing speed is too slow. Once discovered, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of the barbarian navy. As a result, the exchange ratio is disproportionate - unless the barbarians have an air attack on the mothership, otherwise we will use expensive submarines to do so.
For their small wooden boat... However, it can dive deep into the seabed and has unparalleled concealment capabilities, so it may be useful for reconnaissance."
"The flying speed of helicopters is also relatively slow, and they must fly at extremely low altitudes to engage in combat. Although there are rockets as attack weapons, even ground magic battles may cause damage to it, and it is still not worth the gain. But it is very
It is suitable for transporting elite troops and conducting battlefield rescue within our controlled areas, and is suitable for air suppression in certain specific battles."
…
"As for the mid-range and long-range missiles you mentioned... This idea is very subtle, but please forgive us for our inability to do so - it requires the control of magic field waves that are so precise that there can be no mistakes, but the magic field waves can easily be controlled by the souls of the magic war.
The wave interferes slightly. This does not affect communication, but it will definitely affect precision control."
"In a fierce battlefield or in a military camp with a large number of intermediate-level and above magic battles, our missiles may not have time to reach their destination and be detonated under our control. They will fall like headless flies."
"So, even if we equip it with a striker-detonated warhead like a cannonball, we are afraid that it will be our own people who will be blown up."
"What's more, we have enough reasons to believe that the barbarians already have high-strength magic field blocking technology. Otherwise... the original invasion of the far north could not have been so without warning."
"Moreover, our nuclear crystal is already the highest level of magic crystal technology at present. I really can't imagine how many high-level energy-compressed nuclear crystals are needed for the magical missile you envision that can destroy a city."
Academician Qian spread his hands helplessly.
…
"Hey...it seems like there's nothing we can do about it - there is indeed a difference..."
The young man murmured thoughtfully.
"So, how is the charging situation of the ring?"
Immediately, he asked again.
"This... we don't know enough about it, there seems to be some small problem..."
Academician Qian suddenly felt ashamed.
"What's going on? Isn't it useless?"
The young man was immediately shocked.
Plan C was a piece of cake... His heart was filled with anxiety.
…
"No, Your Highness, there is no problem in using it, but the charging time may have been further determined. It is not the former of the 'one to several years' we initially guessed, but it is most likely the latter..."
Academician Qian replied awkwardly.
"We thought the ring only needed to absorb free space magic energy for charging, but now it seems that it must also be compressed. We are still confused about how it was made and what the principle is. The only thing that can be confirmed is
At this time, while the ring is charging, it is also automatically undergoing a space magic energy compression process."
"When we tested whether the ring was fully charged, we also tested the intensity of the magic energy in it. Then, we were surprised to find the existence of two very different spatial magic energy intensities. Researcher Fan proposed that the compressed
Magic energy may be what the ring possesses, the magic energy that is strong enough to build a space channel. Therefore, it must be compressed."
"However, in this case, maybe the charging time will be extended. So it is most likely not one year, but several years. In other words, it may take another one or two years from now."
…
"Then we can terminate the charging process at any time and put the ring into use?"
Xie Ning asked urgently.
"It is possible, but we are worried that interrupting the ring's automatic charging and compression hastily will lead to unpredictable consequences."
Academician Qian's face was full of solemnity.
"Then..." The young man hesitated immediately.
"Xie Ning, don't worry. I agree with your analysis. The Empire may be in a stalemate, and the barbarians should attack the Western Continent first. We have also conducted countless tactical deductions. Mountains and seas should be able to withstand it - at least the Empire
It’s still bearable.”
"This war may not be able to bear fruit in one or two years. We also need one to two years of development before we can grow our strength to the extent we want, otherwise the magic armored corps will be completely unusable.
, and you also need training in the magic furnace, don’t you?”
Lin Qi reminded him softly from the side.
…
"I'm worried that the military strength of both sides will be greatly unbalanced by then, and we may not be able to play the role we should have. I believe in the empire, but I don't believe in those people from the Western Continent. If they are defeated like a mountain, they will be defeated.
What if all the mess is left to the Empire? It is certainly impossible for the Empire to fight alone against the barbarian army without too much damage."
"Furthermore, you have to know that the barbarians went out in full force to conquer the mountains and seas this time, and they have been preparing for hundreds of years! It is still a matter of uncertainty as to what the outcome of the empire will be."
Xie Ning was still worried.
"No, that's when the true balance of military power will be achieved."
Lin Qi shook her head.
"The people of the West Continent will not be so stupid. They will definitely save the essence of their combat power as much as possible. And in the end, when the decisive battle occurs in the Empire, the Empire may have the greatest power in mankind, and the blood loss on both sides will be the most serious. We
It’s enough to have an important impact on the battle situation.”
"Just how important it is is still unknown. After all, the real war situation cannot be determined by deduction."
"If you care, you will get confused, but you must be calm so that you can make the most perfect decision."
The girl looked at the young man with concern and reminded him.
"Well... what you said makes sense..." The young man nodded thoughtfully. (To be continued...)
