Chapter 48 Brewing(2/3)
Come to threaten the country of ghosts.
The ninja troops of Sand Hidden Village, a total of one thousand ninjas, are stationed in front of Hell Valley in the northwest of Bear Country. Opposite Hell Valley is the land of Ghost Country.
If the Kingdom of Oni doesn't take action, it's natural that the ninjas of Sunagakure Village can't take action either.
The person responsible for leading this Suna ninja force is none other than the Suna ninja Maki, who has recovered from his injuries.
Originally, the top management of Sunagakure Village had decided to send five hundred ninjas to come over and have some fun. There was no need to use too much force to deal with the Kingdom of Demons.
However, Kazekage Rasa believed that the ninja combat capabilities of the Demon Country might be lacking, but those weird ninja tools might cause a lot of trouble to the Sunagakure troops, so they added five hundred more ninjas.
There are a thousand ninjas in total, led by Maki.
Ma Ji held a military telescope and peered across the Hell Valley. From a distance, he could see villages with smoke rising from the countryside on the border of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Even from a distance, the architecture and environment of the village are very beautiful, and the transportation facilities are much more advanced than those in the Country of Wind. It can be imagined that the living standards of the people there are definitely better than those of most people in the Country of Wind.
"The economic power is really strong."
Even small villages on the border like this have established complete transportation thoroughfares. Ma Ji's first thought about the Kingdom of Ghosts was that it was rich and powerful.
Although the small territory of the Ghost Country is one of the reasons, being able to connect all the transportation lines in towns and villages requires a huge investment... Markey can't imagine it.
"Next, just wait and see what happens and concentrate on waiting for orders from above. Let's go back to camp."
Ma Ji put away the military binoculars and said to the several Sunagakure jounin beside him.
"yes."
Markey's patrol is complete.
Although he did not originally want to regard the Kingdom of Ghosts as an opponent, but when he thought about the losses he had suffered at the hands of debt collectors in the Kingdom of Ghosts not long ago, Ma Ji felt that it was better to be cautious.
In order to prevent the Demon Country's flying ninjas, a thousand ninjas were dispatched this time. The detonating charms were sufficient. A total of one hundred precise anti-aircraft ballistas were brought. Together with the detonating charms, they were enough to
The sky lights up.
Under such a high-density concentration of firepower, the flying ninja tool could only fail and sink into the sand.
In the past, Sky Country had used similar flying ninja tools to provoke the five major nations and attack from the air. Sunagakure Village adopted this covering firepower strategy to target the Sky Country ninjas, causing them heavy losses.
Therefore, you must have the necessary confidence, but you must not lose your caution.
Suffering two consecutive somersaults on the same opponent is something that Markey cannot allow.

The Kingdom of Ghosts, Ziyuan City, First Military Region.
In an empty room, there were only simple daily necessities and a precise map of the ninja world posted on the wall.
Shiraishi put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly to look at the map of the ninja world.
It has been outlined many times with a pen.
The Kingdom of Snow, the Kingdom of Netherworld, the Kingdom of Bears... and finally the Kingdom of Wind, are all marked in extremely detail.
In fact, now, the Kingdom of Snow has been taken into the hands, and the Kingdom of Netherworld is only in name. The Kingdom of Bears is secretly eroding, and will fall one after another in a few months.
As for the Kingdom of Wind...it has also fallen into the chess game.
Shiraishi's eyes stared at the northwest region of the Kingdom of Wind, which was an area that must be captured.
There is a desert wasteland in the Kingdom of Wind, but after testing by professionals, there are a large amount of important resources such as natural gas and oil hidden under that desert.
The Kingdom of Wind has not yet entered complete industrialization and cannot utilize these resources at all.
Not only that, the meteorological resources in the desert are also very rich.
Wind energy, strong light, solar energy... are all pure energy that can be fully regenerated without too much environmental pollution.
Exploiting marine resources is still in its early stages, and there is currently no mature technology for exploiting marine resources. In contrast, it is correct to use the resources on the mainland to pave the way, and then gradually expand to the ocean...layer by layer, and interconnected.
choice.
Although it was tempting to swallow the cake, Shiraishi didn't think he had such a good appetite and could swallow such a big cake in one bite. He would choke to death.
"You are here. People are panicking outside. Don't you plan to send someone to explain? It seems that there are still people who plan to spend money to eliminate the disaster. There is no need to conflict with the Kingdom of Wind."
At this time, the door suddenly opened, Liuli walked in from the door, and said to Baishi.
Rumors from the outside world do hold a pessimistic attitude towards the Kingdom of Ghosts, even the businessmen of this country do the same.
Although Sunagakure only symbolically sent a thousand ninjas to 'sightsee' on the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Demons, the pressure on the people of the Kingdom of Demons was considerable.
If the absolute rule of the five major countries is deeply rooted in people's hearts, people will not dare to resist.
Although there are some who are unconvinced, mainly young people, who think that Sunagakure is just not repaying the money, and it is shameless to impose military coercion on the country of ghosts.
But even these young people with fighting spirit have doubts about the military power of the Kingdom of Ghosts.
Shiraishi turned around, glanced at Liuli and replied: "The preparations have been made, let them warm up first. A prosperous commercial country is not qualified to stand at the top of the ninja world. It has developed to this
To the point where it’s the country that’s pushing us, not just us pushing the country.”
After these years of policy assistance, the Demon Country has indeed become the most outstanding commercial country in the ninja world.
It even once surpassed the commercial power of the Fire Nation and took the lead.
But the more you are expected and the more influential you are, the more secret enemies you have.
Neutral states are not an absolute protection mechanism.
It just depends on whether it threatens certain existing interests.
Looking at it now, the overreaction of Sunagakure and the Kingdom of Wind, and the rapid development of the Kingdom of Demons, have indeed attracted greedy beasts in the jungle.
"Then when are you going to take action? Sand Hidden Village has already taken action, but we have not taken action. If this continues, it is inevitable that our military will be said to be timid."
Liuli looked eager to try, and her hands seemed to be itching.
"We can't rush this kind of thing. We have to wait for Sunagakure Village to take action first."
Shiraishi shook his head and could not deny the comments from the outside world.
But in fact, it’s not that the Kingdom of Ghosts didn’t take action, it’s that outsiders simply didn’t know.
No matter how confident Shiraishi is, he cannot remain indifferent to the thousands of sand ninjas on the border of the Demon Country and not take any precautionary measures.
One careless move could cause a large number of civilian casualties on the border of the Demon Country. As for the character of the Sunagakure ninja... Shiraishi really couldn't believe it.
In the past, on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, lower-level ninjas were allowed to rob the food of the civilians of the Rain Country in the Country of Rain, causing a large number of casualties, and many people died of starvation and freezing on the roadside.
When it comes to real fighting, their discipline is very good, but in some respects, their discipline is extremely poor.
It is said that during war, civilians must not be killed, injured or robbed. This is a rule that has never been practiced by the truth. It is really ridiculous.
Therefore, before Sunagakure Village took any action, he had asked Ayane to lead an elite team of a hundred ninjas to secretly go to the border of the Kingdom of Demons near the Country of Bears, and hide there to prevent the Sunagakure ninjas from disrupting the Kingdom of Demons on the border.
people.
As for the Hoshi Ninja Village, they were also prepared to attack Sunagakure's troops from behind and could be dispatched at any time.
The only thing that needs to be waited for now is the moment when the conflict between the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Ghosts breaks out.
"But looking at how they are now, they are waiting for us to take action first."
It's not that Liuli can't see the current situation, he just thinks that if things continue like this and allowing the ninjas of Sunagakure Village to roam the border of the Demon Country, it will lower the prestige of the Demon Country.
The series of chain reactions triggered by that time will be very troublesome.
Liuli is very aware of the character of some big countries. Once she encounters a soft persimmon, she always wants to pinch it.
Such as the Kingdom of Thunder and Kumogakure.
Stealing the medical secrets of the Demon Country, the Kumogakure ninja is the happiest one who operates in secret.
So far, there are nearly twenty Kumogakure ninjas lurking in Ziyuan City, trying their best to sneak into the military and steal confidential medical information.
Seeing the Demon Country being bullied by Sunagakure and being indifferent, he felt that the Demon Country had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and Kumo Gakure would definitely not mind coming in to get a piece of the pie.
If Kumogakure intervenes at that time, things will inevitably become difficult.
"For a war, strategy, tactics, human resources, industry, economy, logistics, mobilization ability, ideological ability... are all extremely important ingredients. Be impatient first, without complete strategy and tactics, or adopt unrealistic measures
The side that chooses strategy and tactics will definitely lose half first."
Shiraishi said with a smile.
Strategy and tactics, as early as a few years ago, the Demon Country's military had already begun to deploy. Compared to the Sunagakure ninjas who were forced to come, the Demon Country was just waiting for work, and had set up a complete series of traps in advance to target the Sunagakure ninjas.
hidden.
As long as it is properly arranged, in terms of strategy and tactics, Sunagakure Village cannot detect the true intentions of the Demon Country, and is actually at a disadvantage.
As for the industrial, economic, and logistical mobilization capabilities, they have also been completed ahead of schedule. They have been preparing for this war for many years. Sunagakure's side is seriously under-prepared. Which one is better and which is worse can be seen at a glance.
"Have you thought of a solution?"
Liuli was very curious about how Shiraishi would let Sunagakure Village take the initiative to attack.
In the current situation, Oni Country is unwilling to attack first, and Sunagakure also has concerns and will not take the initiative easily.
"Almost. If we continue with this arrangement, the Chamber of Commerce will temporarily stop transporting all goods that are to be transported to the Kingdom of Wind, especially medicine, food and water. It will be announced to the outside world that some goods are not up to standard within the Chamber of Commerce.
To be continued...
