Tang Zhen returned to the original world this time just to borrow troops!
According to his plan, at least 200,000 combatants would be needed to fight against the survivors at sea this time to form an overwhelming advantage.
But as a result, transportation and fire suppression have become big problems. Metal floating islands alone can no longer meet Tang Zhen's requirements.
Therefore, the warship that was previously listed as an alternative due to operational problems became Tang Zhen's best choice.
However, for the partners in the original world, there is no doubt about the importance of warships. No matter how close the cooperation between the two parties is, they cannot easily hand over a large number of warships to Tang Zhen for use.
Of course, if a few small warships are deployed to support it, there will be no problem!
However, this kind of warship is not suitable for combat in the water world, because artillery shells and missiles cannot fly very far there, so even if these warships are handed over to Tang Zhen, they must be modified.
In this case, it would be even more troublesome. It would be better for Tang Zhen to find a way to get the warship himself, and then let the partners send professional naval personnel to operate it!
Of course, if they were willing to give it away, Tang Zhen wouldn't refuse.
This is a form of employment transaction, and Tang Zhen must pay a certain price for it.
Tang Zhen doesn't care if he has money or not, and his partners won't ask for money. At most, they are just trying to get more favorable conditions for themselves in terms of cooperation!
After all, the partners' expansion in the world of Loucheng is still inseparable from the important figure Tang Zhen, and they will not behave too much.
Perhaps increasing the number of teleporters is the condition they will propose!
The discussion process did not waste much time. After Tang Zhen communicated with Director Tang, Smith and other people through the holographic communication equipment, he quickly received a reply.
This time, the five major partners will jointly dispatch professional naval personnel to drive and operate warships to assist Shenglong City in the battle.
In addition to these naval soldiers, partners will also give away a batch of small warships for free and help complete modifications to adapt to the special conditions of the water world.
As for the modified weapons and ammunition, they are also provided free of charge, and the service is absolutely in place!
There is no free lunch in the world. After Tang Zhen's request was met, it was time to discuss the price he needed to pay.
Things went as Tang Zhen expected. The only request from the partners was to open up another 100,000 combatant quotas and to be responsible for regularly transporting logistics supplies.
Although Tang Zhen had already guessed what the other party wanted, he still looked embarrassed.
Nowadays, the total number of combatants from the original world who have been stationed in Loucheng World for a long time has exceeded 500,000, which has long reached the upper limit of the original agreement.
Therefore, Tang Zhen no longer allowed his partners to continue to increase their troops to avoid unnecessary risks and burdens.
At least until Holy Dragon City is promoted to a national-level city, Tang Zhen will not allow the number of troops in the original world to exceed one million. This is not because he is afraid of being plotted, but because the logistics pressure is too great.
Such a large army consumes extremely terrifying materials. Before the material transmission test is successful, Tang Zhen can only be responsible for transporting it between the two realms.
As the Lord of Holy Dragon City, Tang Zhen has a lot to deal with and doesn't have much free time to carry supplies for the army. In that case, can he do other things?
Therefore, he has not relented on the matter of increasing troops, and his partners have no choice.
However, because the Kobold Tower City has been completely occupied and the land division work has been completed, the partners will then launch further actions.
However, if this happens, there will be a huge gap in combat and logistics personnel.
Although the use of the soul teleportation cabin has slightly alleviated this problem, this temporary teleportation has too many restrictions and is far less convenient than direct soul teleportation.
What's more, the coverage of the inter-dimensional soul teleportation array is limited. If it is too far away from Holy Dragon City, even the soul teleportation cabin cannot be used normally!
Therefore, the final solution is to directly increase the number of troops.
Taking advantage of Tang Zhen's opportunity to borrow troops, the partners took the opportunity to propose this condition. Because they were afraid that Tang Zhen would refuse, the conditions given were very generous.
As a result, Tang Zhen could no longer refuse, so he agreed to the other party's request for additional troops. However, the materials and expenses required to create the host body had to be provided by his partners.
After all, this is a big expense, and Tang Zhen is not willing to make a loss-making business!
Regarding Tang Zhen's request, the partners had no reason to refuse, so they readily agreed.
It's just that these more than 100,000 host bodies are not something that can be taken out. They must be created and cultivated step by step.
Fortunately, the boarding body manufacturing base jointly built by Shenglong City and its original world partners has never stopped operating since its completion. It is barely possible to temporarily provide half of the boarding bodies.
After the cooperation is reached, both parties get busy separately.
After the meeting, the leaders of the five partners began to prepare the small warship to be delivered to Tang Zhen, quickly mobilized construction personnel, and carried out modifications as required.
At the same time, a group of experienced naval combatants were also recruited for training, and the newly dispatched soldiers were gradually transferred to the world of Loucheng!
After Tang Zhen arranged the main work, he returned directly to Holy Dragon City and entered his secret training room.
…
Although the partners provided a batch of ships for Tang Zhen to use, they still did not meet Tang Zhen's expected standards.
Although that kind of small warship has good maneuverability, the number of troops it can carry is limited. When facing large sea monsters, it will no longer have the advantage of size.
So getting a batch of large warships became what Tang Zhen had to do!
The wasteland world he discovered must contain a large number of abandoned warships. After repairs, they should be able to meet Tang Zhen's needs.
Therefore, it is necessary to visit this wasteland world again!
Turning his attention to the mysterious star on the mobile phone interface, Tang Zhen chose the single-person teleportation function above.
Soon a portal appeared, and Tang Zhen stepped into it.
However, the moment he entered the portal, Tang Zhen's brows furrowed sharply because he realized that something was wrong.
It seemed that a repulsive force was pushing him out, refusing to allow him to be transported to the wasteland world.
At the same time, the destination was no longer in front of the portal, but a huge ring appeared out of thin air, with countless tentacles extending out, constantly rotating and twisting in the dark void.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this indescribably huge circle seems to contain countless three-dimensional images, like scenes from a movie, but it feels extremely real!
Just when Tang Zhen laid his eyes on it, the repulsive force appeared again, seeming to push him far away.
"What's going on?"
Tang Zhen's heart was shaken, and he started to back up without hesitation, preparing to escape from the portal.
But at this moment, the mysterious star in Tang Zhen's phone began to flicker, as if it would collapse at any time.
At the same time, an even more powerful teleportation force appeared in the portal, directly wrapping his body and pushing him forcefully into the ring.
Faced with this kind of power, Tang Zhen couldn't resist at all and crashed into the huge strange-looking ring!
