After returning to Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen gathered the main personnel responsible for conquering overseas lands and began to discuss how to complete the promotion task of Loucheng.
In the huge conference room, everyone fell into a state of deep thought after watching the previously recorded holographic images.
Before the battlefield started, no one expected that the opposite side would be an ocean without any land, which also greatly increased the difficulty of the battle.
No one present had any experience in naval warfare. Even though some of the residents of the original world recruited by Shenglong City were former naval soldiers, those experiences from the original world may not be applicable to overseas battlefields.
In fact, if it is just pure sea transportation, it is not that difficult. After all, Shenglong City has the logistic support of the original world. What kind of ships do you want?
Therefore, just a piece of sea without land will not cause everyone a headache.
The most troublesome thing is that 90% of the monks in Holy Dragon City are landlubbers. Although the remaining 10% have some knowledge of water, they also have no experience in sea combat.
Under such circumstances, if you rashly enter overseas battlefields, your combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and you will inevitably suffer unnecessary losses when facing those maritime tribes who have been with the water all their lives!
Although Shenglong City has a big business, it cannot engage in such a losing business.
What's more, there are mysterious guardians among those tribes. God knows what kind of abilities they have. Will they cause great harm to the Holy Dragon Legion?
Moreover, there are no-fly restrictions in the sky above the eighth-level overseas battlefield. Those aircraft and artillery cannot be used normally at all, so targeted weapons must be used!
Time passed slowly, and after everyone discussed it for a long time, they finally formulated a plan, which Tang Zhen confirmed and then announced its implementation.
The first thing to do is to build a giant floating island at the teleportation gate to serve as a temporary stop and material transfer station, so as to avoid having no place to stay after teleportation.
According to Tang Zhen's estimation, the area of this floating island must be at least two square kilometers, otherwise it will not be enough for use!
Building such a platform at sea is definitely a big project and requires a lot of manpower and material resources!
But it's a coincidence that when Tang Zhen was in the wasteland world, he collected a lot of scrapped warships. Since they couldn't be repaired in the short term, they just used them to build a modified floating island platform!
This kind of modification and construction is not troublesome, and Shenglong City does not lack the corresponding technical personnel and labor force, so this work can be carried out immediately.
If the ship materials are not enough, he can return to the original world or the wasteland world to collect some. After all, the price of such scrapped ships is much lower than that of intact warships!
The second is to choose maritime transportation. Some people originally suggested using warships. However, considering the restrictions of the restricted air space and the difficulty of operating warships, we finally chose to use large flat-bottomed boats to splice into mobile floating islands as a mobile floating island.
base.
Although the appearance is a bit crude, it is easy to operate and the area is sufficient for use.
On this large mobile floating island, even Loucheng warriors who don't know how to swim can live and work easily, and their original discomfort will be minimized.
And on this kind of platform, long-range firepower can also be set up. Even if the use of aircraft cannons will be affected, weapons such as close-in defense guns and torpedoes, and even laser and electromagnetic weapons, can be used normally!
Although it cannot control the air, the firepower advantage of the Holy Dragon Legion still exists and will not be greatly weakened.
As for the defense of the seabed, Shenglong City has already had countermeasures in place and is not afraid of the enemy launching attacks from the seabed!
Tang Zhen plans to build four of these mobile floating islands at sea, and then consider whether to increase the number depending on the situation.
After all, it costs money to build such floating islands, and once the battle in the eighth-level overseas battlefield is over, they can only be reduced to scrap metal, so there is no need to build too many and cause waste.
Of course, around this giant floating island, some gunboats and patrol boats still need to be escorted, and a large number of jet skis and assault speedboats must be prepared to enhance the Holy Dragon Legion's mobile combat capabilities!
As for the warship, it is necessary to mobilize professionals from the original world to operate it. Since it involves many things, it can only be postponed temporarily.
The third is to select Holy Dragon City monks and legion soldiers who are familiar with water properties during the preparation period to participate in the first batch of combat sequences.
At the same time, we will conduct special training for combatants who are not familiar with water, replace and manufacture weapons and equipment suitable for water and underwater combat, and use them skillfully as soon as possible!
As for the fourth point, it was proposed by Tang Zhen, which was to send a certain number of people from the Loucheng World to enter the Water World first, and use their profits to win over the nomads on the sea, making them serve the Holy Dragon City and become a servant army.
With the help of these indigenous nomads who are familiar with water, it is estimated that the process of completing the promotion task will be much easier!
After Tang Zhen saw the life scenes of those nomads on the sea, he knew that as long as they were provided with a sufficient place to live and sufficient living supplies, they would choose to obey without hesitation.
As for how to deal with these sea vagrants after the war, Tang Zhen has not yet considered it.
After the meeting, everyone performed their duties and got busy immediately.
In the following period, the entire Holy Dragon City became extremely lively.
In the Pearl Lake and around the lake in the back valley, where swimming and playing were originally prohibited, there were groups of monks and legionnaires wearing tank tops and shorts who were constantly being driven into the water. From time to time, the sound of crying for father and mother could be heard.
It's strange to say that these guys who are so brave and fearless on the battlefield, when they are doing swimming training, there are cowards who keep showing up and refuse to go into the water.
At this time, the leader of the team would throw him into the water with a dark face and let him struggle in the water.
Only after he was half drowned would he be dragged to the shore by a temporary lifeguard, a swamp frogman, and hoisted to a shelf to control the water.
Relying on this kind of training method, it didn't take long for the landlubbers in Shenglong City to basically learn how to prevent themselves from sinking into the water.
But compared to those survivors at sea, their water skills are still far behind!
Fortunately, with the help of scientific and technological means, and a large number of underwater breathing insects cultivated and distributed, the basic combat capabilities of Shenglong City have been formed.
At the same time, Tang Zhen also continued to travel between the two worlds, bringing back a large amount of supplies, including two hastily manufactured maritime mobile bases.
This large-scale mobile maritime base is all converted from dry bulk carriers and container ships. Although the structure is simple, there are absolutely no quality problems. Carrying 10,000 to 20,000 combat personnel is simply trivial!
Fortunately, Tang Zhen's storage bracelet had enough space, otherwise such a huge thing would have been impossible to move into the water!
As for the floating island platform in front of the portal, it is currently under construction. Now that there is a maritime mobile base, it does not matter if it is completed later.
In addition to the mobile maritime base, Tang Zhen also brought back a large number of small ships, various water supplies and supplies, which cost a considerable amount of money.
Fortunately, for today's Shenglong Group, these expenses are nothing at all. After Tang Zhen came up with a list of the required supplies, it only took two days to complete them.
This is the benefit of having subordinates to run errands. Otherwise, if Tang Zhen had done it himself, God knows how much time would have been wasted!
After all the supplies are ready, Holy Dragon City officially begins its campaign on the eighth-level overseas battlefield!
