The strategic goal of mankind's expedition is to eliminate the high priest of the undead and permanently solve this nightmare that has been hanging over mankind for thousands of years.
At the same time, completely eradicate the undead tribe and eliminate the profession of necromancer.
And what they have to face is not only the undead and the dark mages, but also the two major races of the undead, the Thunder Flash and the Spirit Flash.
It can be said that the undead tribe is a poisonous fruit that grew from the big tree of Semitic tribe. To eliminate the poisonous fruit of the undead tribe, we must start from the foundation and completely cut off its vitality.
The first stage of the attack must start with the Semitic people.
Because of this, mankind had to dispatch millions of elites on a cross-sea expedition.
In order to ensure the continuous operation of millions of troops for strategic needs, they will inevitably have to penetrate thousands of miles into the Semitic continent in the future and stretch their supply lines very long.
Humanity must build a logistics base based on Semitic tribes that can support a huge army, a complete modern military industrial base.
It is not only to store materials shipped from the human continent, but more importantly, to produce military supplies and munitions needed for war.
Only in this way can we meet the needs of a million-strong army for sustained high-intensity combat.
The advantage is not only to meet the needs of the war, but also to save a large amount of war funds. Even better, it can stimulate economic development under the Semitic Provisional Government.
Promote construction, engineering, mining, metallurgy, machinery and other industries, while providing a large number of job opportunities.
It can not only avoid the unemployment of Semitic people caused by war, but also provide tax revenue for the Provisional Republican Government and maintain the normal operation of the Semitic Provisional Government. It will eventually replace the original Lingshan regime.
It can be said that it achieves multiple things with one stone.
At this time, it shows that the evil capitalist money society is far more powerful than the feudal aristocratic society.
In this grand project, almost everything needed is provided by Feiying Group, and only Feiying Group has the ability to provide it.
Chairman Leo provided funds and loans to the Semitic interim government and business owners, directly monopolizing basic industries such as ports, mining, energy, railways and communications.
Sell various machinery to small business owners on an installment basis and purchase their products.
Whether they are the Allied Forces or the Semites, these old fools don't know what monopoly capital is. They are just busy grabbing territory, and they will be overjoyed when they get a little precious metal.
Because of this, Chairman Leo mocked them as "amateurs."
Even after decades, these guys still don't understand why they sent troops, spent money, sacrificed their lives, and the territory they worked so hard to conquer finally became the Flying Eagle Group.
In order to turn the grand blueprint into reality, Lord Lowe drew a circle on the east coast of the Semitic people with a stroke of his pen, and wanted to build the Caribbean so that it could become a stable rear.
In order to put this industrial base into production and operation as soon as possible, everyone worked overtime and worked hard.

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated the sky, Caribbean City had already woken up.
In fact, despite experiencing a cold and dark night, it did not fall asleep at all.
The entire city has now become a huge construction site. A city originally built on the mountain was submerged in a black construction site.
Even in the dark, there are still people sweating profusely and working non-stop, just to put into production as soon as possible and recover their investment.
In order to meet the deadline and speed up the progress, the contractors who were bent on making money were all crazy and gritted their teeth and paid a high price to buy the third generation mature steam generator product provided by the Flying Eagle Group.
Although the power generation efficiency of these steam engines is low, the electricity output can still drive electric lights and illuminate the construction site as if it were daytime.
But during the day, this situation did not weaken, but became even crazier.
After all, with unclear vision at night, many detailed tasks cannot be completed and can only be carried out during the day.
Therefore, as soon as it dawns, the contractors rush the workers to work as soon as possible. In fact, if they were not afraid of overwork and work-related injuries, they would be like the legendary landlord surnamed Zhou, who would rush to work in the middle of the night.
Put your head into the chicken coop and imitate the crow of the chicken, waking up all the workers.
The lack of labor force replaced the financial crisis and became the primary headache of the Caribbean interim government. Even people from the mountains were hired to work, but the number of workers was still insufficient.
Some factory owners even miss slavery crazily.
When all the heavy machinery is put into operation, the scene is extremely spectacular.
Hundreds of steam engines emitted rumbling roars day and night, merging together like the roar of a giant beast, and plumes of black soot rose straight into the sky, as if they were on fire.
The originally blue sky was polluted into a mess.
The situation was like a naughty little rabbit scribbling on a freshly painted white wall with a charcoal pen. When people saw it, they immediately felt extremely disharmonious.
But Chairman Leo said, this is called the taste of industry, which means modernization, victory and wealth. It means a good life.
And they also specially asked people to take out the song that was originally written in Nai'an and praise the smoking chimneys and roaring machines, slightly modify it, and then let people sing it everywhere, so as to dispel people's possible concerns and resistance to it.
psychology.
A Mu, a corporal from the third platoon of the 6th company of the 71st regiment of the 4th Division of the Lingshan National Independence and Freedom Army, was dressed in a beautiful and straight military uniform and walked on the street with a relaxed pace.
He had just come off the night shift and asked for leave from his superior. Before he had even eaten a bite of breakfast, he was going to the city gate to pick up his young and beautiful fiancée.
Today his mother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, etc. are all coming to the city to buy some dowry items for his wedding.
Therefore, although he stayed up all night and didn't even eat breakfast, he was full of energy and extremely happy.
At this time, Moore, a soldier of the 506th Regiment of the 101st Division of the Eastern Army, walked over from the opposite side with a few companions carrying a gun on his back.
Seeing Amu, Moore hurriedly and warmly greeted him.
Amu was stunned for a moment. He didn't know the other party at all. But judging from the other party's clothes, he was directly under the command of the Generalissimo, so he definitely couldn't afford to offend him.
Therefore, out of politeness, Amu nodded with a smile and walked over.
Moore turned his head, pointed at Amu's back, and then introduced to the recruits beside him: "See, it's that lucky bitch."
The recruits next to him nodded their heads "oh oh oh" repeatedly. At the same time, they cast envious and jealous glances at Amu.
Although Amu himself can't feel it, he has now become a legend among the soldiers.
There was a ferocious tiger raging in the mountains, harming the Semitic people. The hunters tried many times but failed to catch it. Instead, they lost a lot of men and horses.
Even a very rich local nobleman said that whoever can kill the tiger will marry his beautiful and charming only daughter to him.
When Amu went home to visit relatives, my mother had just poured him a bowl of hot water, and before he even drank it, he heard the news.
Amu immediately went out with the gun. Then he went into the mountain and found the tiger. He took aim, pulled the trigger, and shot the tiger to death.
On the way back, I also killed more than ten bandits.
When he carried the tiger carcass home, he picked up the bowl and touched it, and found that the water in the bowl was still warm.
And he easily won a beautiful wife like this, and because the father-in-law is only an only daughter, in the future, the house and land will all belong to Amu.
Every time at this time, the storyteller always talks and gestures, saliva flies, and his eyes sparkle.
And the soldiers listening to the story also raised their faces at a forty-five-degree angle, mesmerized, with longing expressions on their faces.
Just holding a gun and easily hitting the board, you can marry a wife and take possession of the family property.
This kind of story full of romance, violence, and money... bah bah bah, this kind of story full of knightly romanticism has always been the favorite of these soldiers.
This incident even spread to the coalition headquarters and the provisional government. For the purpose of political propaganda, to establish a positive image of the coalition and the provisional government, this story was promoted as a typical example, and now it is well known in Caribbean City.
While Moore was chatting happily with the recruits, Amu had already arrived at the city gate. Looking at the bustling city gate with the endless flow of people and cars, he couldn't help but sigh: In the past, although the Caribbean was known as prosperous,
, but only during the holidays will there be such a large number of people.
This also brought him some trouble. There were too many people coming and going. What if Erya and the others came over, but he didn't see them and missed them twice? What should he do?
But soon I saw a stone step not far away, and I had an idea and stood up.
In this way, even if you can't see them, Erya and the others will definitely see you when they pass by.
The people passing by looked at the well-dressed soldier standing on the stone steps at the city gate, standing out like a chicken, and couldn't help but cast a surprised look.
Some older girls and younger wives looked at his appearance and even lowered their heads and snickered for a while.
This is another thing that confuses Amu, or to be precise, it confuses all men. Those women always like to purse their lips and snicker when they have nothing to do.
They laughed when they saw the handsome guy. They laughed when they saw Brother Pig. They laughed when they saw the smiling elder brother. They even laughed when they saw a dog crawling on top of another dog fighting.
It's very confusing.
It is said that Lord Lowe once specially painted a painting called "Mona Lisa's Smile", specifically to express the mysterious smile of women.
Probably only a god-like figure like Lord Luo can understand the true meaning behind a woman’s smile~~!
When Amu was thinking wildly, he saw an ox cart slowly approaching.
Immediately afterwards, a slim figure jumped out of the car and shouted in surprise: "Brother Amu..."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly blushed. Then he lowered his head shyly and pretended to play with the hem of his clothes.
Ammu looked at the girl's smooth and pretty face, and immediately felt happy and said: "Erya, you are here..."
He hurriedly jumped down the stone steps, took two steps forward, and was about to grab the girl's delicate hand. But then he heard a cough.
Ammu raised his head and took a look. Only then did he realize that his mother, the village elder's father-in-law, his mother-in-law, his brother-in-law, his younger brother-in-law, and his father-in-law's brother-in-law... were all here.
They packed the bullock cart so full that there was almost no space left.
Even though it was winter, there were so many people riding in the cart that the old cow pulling the cart was so tired that he was covered in sweat.
The bad thing is that there are no old farmers nearby, otherwise they would have couldn't help but curse when they saw the pitiful appearance of the cow. As a farmer, if you don't know how to feel sorry for the animals, then you are a treasonous, prodigal son who is worse than a pig or a dog~!
Village Chief Baer first turned around and glared at his wife fiercely, then jumped out of the carriage, quietly turned aside and got in between the two of them.
But his wife also rolled her eyes. She didn't take him seriously at all. Just now, when her daughter saw Amu, she jumped out of the carriage, as agile as a vicious dog that saw shit... Bah, bah, bah. It's like she saw Amu.
Like a butterfly that has swallowed nectar, how could she have time to stop it?
This made the village chief even more angry. Although they had engaged a tiger to find a bride, the old couple calmed down and thought about it carefully, but they found that this matter was extremely unreliable~!
Amu is a poor soldier. His family doesn't even have any land. His only property is a bungalow in the mountains. How much money can he have?
Moreover, there will be a war in the future, and it will be a war with the high priest. Who knows whether he will die or live after the war?
If he is really dead, that's fine. But if he becomes disabled, missing arms and legs, won't his daughter be stuck in it for the rest of her life?
Therefore, the old couple were extremely worried. Later, they sat on the kang to discuss whether there was any way to break up the two of them. It would be best if they could make things difficult for Ah Mu and force him to propose regretting the marriage.
The best.
Therefore, they specially brought so many people here this time.
Village Chief Baer coughed lightly, not caring about the resentful look cast by his daughter. Of course, the younger daughter knew what his father was thinking.
Baal turned to look at the city gate and said, "Amu, I didn't expect there were so many people here today."
Ammu immediately replied hurriedly: "Yes, since Lord Luo arrived with his troops, this Caribbean city has become much more prosperous than before. There are so many people coming in and out every day."
The village chief Baer looked at him calmly and cursed in his heart: This little brat is very good at pulling tiger skins and raising banners. He just said a word, and he secretly reminded himself that he is actually Lorraine.
's younger brother.
Village Chief Baer coughed lightly again, then pointed to the big words written on the wall and said, "What is this written on? Jarson."
He said those words to a young man in the carriage.
The old couple's intentions were extremely sinister, because this Jarson was Erya's cousin. Not only was he childhood sweetheart with Erya, but he had also traveled extensively as an apprentice to a businessman, and was very literate.
There are only two ways out for Caribbean people, either as sailors or as traders.
The village chief planned to give it a try first, to let the young man show off his knowledge, and to give Ah Mu a hard blow so that the boy would give up.
Gilson looked at the slogan on the wall and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. Then he stuttered: "Time...time is..."
He just went out with a businessman once. Although he knew a few Chinese characters and could read account books, he was already considered a well-known person in a village that was generally ignorant.
Amu immediately interrupted him with a smile and said: "This is popular from the human race. It is called a slogan. What is written on it is..."
At this point, he turned slightly and said word by word: "Time is money, efficiency is life~!"
These words are straightforward and vulgar, and there is a smell of copper that hits your face. It is very much like the style of a wealthy Nai'an dog owner.
If there is a literary scholar present, he will immediately sneer at this: Talking about money at all times is really too vulgar~!
But a spark flashed in Erya's eyes next to her, and she exclaimed with admiration: "Brother Amu, you can actually read. It's really amazing."
It's actually not surprising that the little girl was so excited.
In the Semitic people, who were still in the Dark Ages at this time, knowledge was completely in the hands of the nobles.
In other words, as long as you are literate, you can basically hope to become a member of the ruling class. Becoming the mayor or mayor of a place is definitely not a problem.
Ammu scratched his head in embarrassment and said modestly: "It's nothing. In our army, we have to study culture every night. As long as you can read more than 100 words, you can add one silver coin to your monthly salary.
"
Erya immediately asked: "Then how many characters do you know?"
Ammu hesitated for a moment and said: "You have learned all the basic characters. Are you preparing for the CET-4 exam?"
Erya almost had stars popping out of her eyes. She couldn't help but praise loudly and said, "You are really amazing."
Looking at the adoring look in the eyes of his beloved girl, even though Amu was very self-aware, he couldn't help but feel a little carried away. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh: It's good to be educated~!
Village Chief Baer looked at it and lamented in his heart: This Jarson is really a piece of shit, so disappointing~!
But his wife keenly noticed one of the details and asked aloud: "Amu, how much money can you get now?"
Ammu thought for a moment, and then answered honestly: "I don't know the specifics. If you add various subsidies, it will be about three gold coins a month now."
"Three...three gold coins..." Venus suddenly appeared in the eyes of Baer village elder's wife.
Compared with merchants and craftsmen, although farmers claim to have high political status, they actually have to pay a large amount of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes every year.
In addition, you will also be required to work under the assignment of the government, which usually lasts for a month, sometimes half a year, or even for an unlimited period of time. And this is without payment~
!
Therefore, ‘Farmers are really miserable, farmers are really tired, farmers are really poor’. This sentence is not an exaggeration at all, but a true portrayal of their lives.
At the end of the year, if you can have a red headband tied in your hair like Xi'er, you can celebrate the New Year happily.
Therefore, for these farmers, three gold coins are simply something as big as a wheel.
And this is only one month~!
Over the past year, I have to ask for dozens of gold coins, which is basically enough to buy another cow.
At this time, Amu dropped another bombshell, "It will be fine after I pass the Level 4 grammar test. After passing the Level 4 grammar test, I can receive one more gold coin every month."
Seventy or eighty gold coins a year, this is like the God of Wealth~! The village elder's wife was so ecstatic that she didn't even notice that there was a serious error in her arithmetic.
Village Chief Baer saw his wife's eyes were filled with stars, and the money was completely stuck in her eyes and she couldn't pull it out. He couldn't help but feel very unhappy. He immediately flicked his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Enter the city~!" (To be continued...
