Looking at the gradually disappearing space cracks above his head, Old Li clicked his tongue and said, "The Skrulls are running away now? The spring was captured so easily this time. It took a lot of effort every time before."
"It's normal." Old Meng said with a smile: "The three strongest God-level humans have arrived, and Mr. Ke will leave immediately. It's normal for the Skrulls to run away immediately when they know they are losing."
Zhong Feng said: "But I'm afraid it won't be so smooth in the future.
There are still 18 springs left by the Skrulls. As the springs become fewer and fewer, their resistance will become more and more fierce.
I’m afraid that when it comes to the last few, they will hold on to them at all costs. If we want to seize the springs by then, the sacrifices we have to make will be huge!”
Prime Minister Cao looked solemn: "Take your time, one day we will take back all the springs!"
"Yeah." Everyone nodded.
One day, they will drive the Skrulls out of Blue Star!
…
As the space crack disappeared, the gray-black protective shield covering the Skrull base also disappeared.
The entire base is like a lychee with its skin peeled off, completely exposed to the Blue Star monk players, and it is extremely attractive.
Senior Yang Jian looked at everyone behind him and said, "Let's go down together, take over the base, and wait for little friend Su Yu to come out of seclusion."
Then he turned to face the First Emperor and said with a slight apology: "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, I'm sorry, the base below is seriously damaged and I can't let you see the Skrull base in normal condition."
"It's okay." The First Emperor waved his hand nonchalantly: "I just came to see the aliens, and I don't really care about the base.
I will study these aliens first to see how they are different from us Blue Star humans."
After saying that, he turned into a golden stream of light and instantly projected from the sky into the square below, causing the surrendered Skrull soldiers to scream in surprise.
Other monk players also entered the base and officially took over control of the place.
The Blue Star Coalition Government received the message from Zhong Feng.
Knowing that the giant spring at the North Pole was easily recovered, the coalition government was extremely excited from top to bottom!
They quickly dispatched troops and troop transport spaceships to the North Pole, and also announced the recovery of the spring on their official website.
The appearance of the announcement once again caused an upsurge of discussion on the Internet.
This is already the sixth big news that everyone has heard today!
…
An hour later, Scrooge.
The abandonment of the giant spring at the North Pole of Blue Star was also a major event for the Skrulls.
If we give way to this spring, it is impossible to give up the next spring in vain.
So a group of senior executives discussed and held a video conference.
The people participating in this meeting were all the top beings on the entire planet Skrull.
A total of 4 people from the Sun Empire attended, these 4 people were Manina III, Plante, Emperor Manina XIII, and the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, Lan Qi;
Three people from the Lenkert Alliance participated in the meeting, namely the god-level powerhouse Stim, the Sparkling Queen Victoria, and the newly elected Alliance Speaker Kusman;
The remaining participants in the meeting were all god-level beings, such as Heber, Rai and Otas.
Except for Cecilia, who said she was not sick, all other gods participated in this video conference.
This is undoubtedly the highest-level meeting in Skrull.
At the meeting, everyone discussed the military deployment of the future expeditionary force.
First, Manina, who chaired the meeting, spoke.
Manina looked at the god-level experts on the video screen and said solemnly: "Everyone, the reason why we are gathering together this time is because we have reached a moment where we have to carefully consider the future.
Nine months ago, when our expedition fleet first entered Blue Star, we believed that with our own military power, we could quickly crush the people of Blue Star, and the overall loss would not exceed one thousandth.
So at that time, we didn't take Blue Star humans to heart.
But in fact, the Holy Silver Federation has given Blue Star humans a huge help. Now, their power is gradually approaching us.
We have to discuss a more effective way to deal with this group of aggressive Blue Star people."
"agree."
"agree."
All the Skrull gods expressed their agreement.
Manina III asked: "Xiao Shisan, what are you going to do?"
"I think we should fight a protracted war with Blue Star humans." Manina answered seriously:
"We are still ahead in terms of high-tech weapons and the number of high-level experts. I think we can rely on these two points to consume the vitality of Blue Star humans."
On the wall behind Manina, a giant Blue Star map slowly spread out.
There are 18 red light spots on the map, which are all the giant springs currently controlled by the Skrulls.
Manina said: "Currently we only have 18 springs left, 1 in Asia, 1 in Antarctica, 2 in Australia, 2 in Europe, 4 in Africa, and 8 in the Americas.
As the Blue Star people become stronger and stronger, we will definitely not be able to defend all of these 18 springs.
I would like to divide the springs into three categories. The first category must be adhered to..."
Manina used spiritual marking technology to mark eight springs in America.
"These eight springs are integrated into each other, and we need to strictly guard against them.
Before the war begins, we must defend all eight springs, so that the entire America can become our base to conquer the entire Blue Star!"
Listening to Manina's narration, some of the god-level powerhouses and the Speaker of the Lenkert Alliance had different thoughts in their hearts.
However, they did not speak out their thoughts, but decided to listen to Manina.
Seeing that no one expressed objections, Manina continued: "The second part of the spring is used to fight a war of attrition against the Blue Star humans."
He used his mental power mark again to circle eight springs in Europe, Africa, and Australia.
"In the coming period, the psychic energy produced in these eight springs will be used by the expeditionary force stationed at the springs and will no longer be transported back to Skrull.
And we need to equip these eight springs with a large number of psychic weapons and equipment to improve the defense of these springs as much as possible."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After speaking, Manina finally pointed to the two springs in Asia and the South Pole: "As for these two springs, one is too close to the Blue Star human headquarters, and the other is not good
My suggestion is to give up on defense.
But we can't give up in vain,
I propose to start now and transport 200 ‘anti-barite drills’ here to extract the spiritual energy from these two springs, and take away as much as you can to prepare for the war.”
The "anti-barite drill instrument" has been used in previous "blasting mining" plans. The effect is to excite and take away the spiritual energy that will erupt in the spring for hundreds or thousands of years in one go.
Doing this will lead to the destruction of the springs. After the Skrulls occupy Blue Star, these springs will have no use value, which is a bit like killing the goose that lays the eggs.
Such harm to a giant spring will have endless consequences and may arouse the dissatisfaction of many people (most importantly, it will affect the distribution of benefits after the war).
For small and medium-sized spring manina, you can just go ahead and do it.
But for the giant spring, even Emperor Lieyang had to ask for instructions from god-level experts, and he could only start taking action after receiving approval from the majority of people.
That's why this video conference happened.
…
After Manina finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the god-level experts: "These are my strategies, not what you think?"
In the video, the three gods Heber, Rai and Otas nodded in agreement at the same time.
They had no problem with Manina's strategy.
In fact, to be honest, no matter what strategy Manina proposes, they will agree with it, as long as it is not particularly outrageous, they are qualified fence-sitters.
But at this time, Kusman, the new speaker of the Renkert Alliance, said: "I do not agree with His Majesty Manina's opinion."
"Huh?" All eyes turned towards him.
Koosman continued: "I think this plan is too conservative, even a little too conservative!"
"Then what do you have to say?" Manina frowned, feeling very unhappy.
Since the Sun Empire took over the leadership of the war, all the military strategies of the expeditionary force were formulated by Manina himself, and the Lenkot people had no right to intervene.
Kusman, the newly elected Speaker of the Alliance, is only at the sixth level in terms of strength. What qualifications does he have to dare to raise questions?
However, for the sake of all god-level powerhouses, Manina suppressed his unhappiness and looked at Kusman calmly.
Of course, Koosman also noticed Manina's unhappiness, but he didn't take it to heart.
He rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "I have another strategy, which is more radical and will help us win this war. I wonder if everyone is willing to listen to me?"
"Okay, you go ahead." Plante nodded.
"Okay." Cusman turned his attention to Manina: "Your Majesty Manina, our ultimate goal in this war is to defeat the Blue Star people and occupy the entire Blue Star, right?"
"That's right." Manina was startled.
Koosman continued: "Then why don't we put all our strongest military power on this spring in Asia?"
Kusman is referring to the giant spring in Mount Fuji in Neon Country. This giant spring is the only spring in Asia that has not been taken away by Blue Star humans.
"You mean the Neon Country?" Manina was stunned again. He didn't expect that Kusman actually thought this way.
"That's right." Kusman said seriously: "This giant spring is the closest to the Huaxia Kingdom, and the Huaxia Kingdom has concentrated more than 90% of the entire Blue Star's defense force.
If we want to occupy Blue Star, we must defeat this force.
If we put all our troops at the spring of Neon Country, we can have a decisive battle with the Blue Star humans as soon as the war begins!
As long as we win this decisive battle, we will completely win the war!
According to His Majesty Manina's strategy, if we stick to the Americas, we can only fight a war of attrition with the Blue Star humans.
And since we are the invading party, if we engage in a war of attrition, domestic pressure will inevitably increase. So I think it is better to take the initiative."
After explaining his strategy, Koosman asked: "Everyone, what do you think of my idea?"
But no one answered him for the next half minute. All the gods were thinking and weighing the pros and cons.
Half a minute later, Stim was the first to say: "I agree more with Kusman's idea. Kusman is right, the longer the war lasts, the worse it will be for us.
The longer the war drags on, the Blue Star people will be able to obtain a few more high-level experts from the "Evolution" game, and the Blue Star humans will become more and more adaptable to war, and the potential for war may become greater and greater;
As for us, as the war sinks into a quagmire and casualties increase, dissatisfaction may arise in the military. Moreover, the lower-class residents in the country will not receive any benefits from the war, and will only become more dissatisfied and cause social unrest.
All in all, I also think it is better to focus on the Neon Fountain and make a quick victory."
"Well, I also agree with Kusman's idea." After Stim's statement, the Sparkling Queen Victoria made her second statement.
And she quickly added: "I'm not showing favoritism to my own people, I'm just talking about the situation. I personally prefer a more aggressive style of play."
Manina took a deep breath and looked at Manina III and Plante: "Ancestor, Mr. Plante, what do you two think?"
In his heart, he strongly disagreed with Koosman's statement and felt that his strategy was unreasonable.
But before expressing his thoughts, he wanted to seek the opinions of his two god-level ones.
Manina III thought about it seriously and said: "Xiao Shisan, if we talk about the matter, I also think Kusman's strategy is more to my liking."
"Same." Plant agreed.
After their speeches, the approval ratings of Manina and Kusman instantly became 0:4.
Although the three Hebers did not take a stand, their voices have never been particularly important. Even if they voiced their support for Manina, in the end Manina lost.
However, Manina would not give up just like that.
It's not because Koosman stole his thunder...well, not really.
Most importantly, he has to defend his strategy.
Manina faced all the gods and said: "Everyone, actually, I have already thought about the issue of 'where to place the main force'.
I have also considered placing the main force in the Neon Kingdom and directly engaging in a decisive battle with the Blue Star humans.
But have you ever thought about what we will do if we cannot win the decisive battle at the beginning?"
"..."
Manina paused slightly here.
The other god-level experts and Kusman did not answer his words.
Manina smiled and continued: "If we place our main forces at the eight springs in the Americas, we will have great strategic depth.
Even if we can't defeat the Blue Stars at the beginning, at least we can occupy a large part of America.
If we put all our troops at the spring of Mount Fuji in Neon Country, once we fail to win the decisive battle with the Blue Stars, we will be completely passive.
And everyone has seen the development momentum of Blue Star people.
Really, after three months, it will be difficult for us to completely defeat the Blue Stars with just one decisive battle. It is very likely that the war will drag on for a long time, one month or even two or three months. So we must consider the option of a protracted war.
That’s all I want to say, and I hope everyone can discern clearly.”
