In the land of Five Continents, there were frequent changes, and Lin Xiao became more and more uneasy. However, Lin Xiao was not one to sit still and wait for death. He quickly summoned the top leaders of the alliance to form a joint command.
The joint command can share all the information collected by Lin Xiao, and then analyze the information. The most important thing is what should the Southern Alliance do if a war breaks out.
The South Continent Alliance all have a consensus, that is, you can participate in the war for the Five Continents Alliance, but you must not be their cannon fodder. Therefore, you must have command authority on the battlefield. This was agreed with Kunlun when Lin Xiao ended up as the leader of the alliance.
The Southern Continent Alliance is not their vassal, but their ally.
Since it is an ally, when the South Continent Alliance participates in the war, it must analyze how to play the role of the South Continent Alliance and maximize its own interests. This is what the joint command needs to consider. Lin Xiao asked them
Make multiple plans.
At the same time, Lin Xiao led a group of people to begin a review from north to south. The six million troops of the Southern Continent Alliance had been assembled for more than a hundred years. The alliance paid one billion Xuanjing every year for the army to consume. Lin Xiao
Xiao Xiao didn't want anyone to deceive others, so Lin Xiao united with senior monks from Tianyue Sect and other major sects to inspect the situation starting from the Qin State.
Qin faced Zhongzhou and was under the greatest pressure, so their 500,000-strong army was gathered on the border between Qin and Zhongzhou, divided into dozens of camps.
"Drills begin, battle formations assemble"
"Dong dong dong"
"One battalion, gather"
"Assembly of the whole army"
The war drums were rumbling, and amid the angry shouts of the senior monks, the monks in a camp quickly left their tents and gathered in the square. Within the time of burning incense, the troops and horses were assembled, the battle formation was formed, and countless monks lined up.
Standing together, they were exuding evil spirits.
"Fellow Daoist Tan, the Qin army is good, very good, I am very satisfied."
Lin Xiao looked at the actions of the army, which already looked like elite soldiers. Lin Xiao was very happy. Tan Minglun on the other side was also proud. The Qin State was the first in Nanzhou, and this level was still needed.
"Leader Lin, this is what Qin should do. We are always on guard against Zhongzhou."
"Okay, very good. The alliance is not rich now, so we can't reward them. However, there is still some wine and food. Remember to add food in the evening."
"Thank you, Leader Lin"
Tan Minglun said happily that assembling an army consumes a lot of financial resources, and daily food is also a huge expense, so they cannot provide spiritual wine and meals every day.
Bu Yunshuang handed over to the Qin monks and gave them 100,000 catties of monster meat and 10,000 catties of spiritual wine. In the evening, Lin Xiao and other senior officials had a dinner with these monks.
Lin Xiao and others then went to another camp to inspect. All in all, the combat readiness of the Qin monks was still very good. Lin Xiao and others then left Qin, first heading west, and then turning south.
A month later, Lin Xiao and others entered the territory of Qi State. After Xuantianmen left Nanzhou, Qi State's strength weakened a lot, and Xuantianmen's territory was also regarded as unclaimed land and was controlled by the alliance. However, Qi State
There is still a standing army of monks with an army of 400,000.
However, when we arrived in Qi State, the combat readiness here began to weaken. It took half an hour for the army to assemble, and the positions were also loose. It was hard to say whether they could form a battle formation.
"Fellow Taoist Sun Hongfei, this does not seem to be good in Qi State."
Lin Xiao looked at Sun Hongfei and said that the Lingjian Sect was responsible for Qi's war preparations. At this time, Qi Mei was already old and would pass away in a few years. Everything was under the control of Sun Hongfei. Lin Xiao's expression was very cold.
"Leader Lin, the alliance has been at war for more than a hundred years. The group of disciples recruited at the beginning have all died. New disciples have to be recruited again. Alas..."
"But the alliance's money seems to have never been low."
"Leader Lin, six million troops, one billion Xuan Crystals per year, how many Xuan Crystals per person per year, this little wealth can only allow them to train for three to five days a year, and we don't have to pay for the bulk. What if?
If the alliance persists for three to five hundred years, it will be a bottomless pit."
"you····"
Lin Xiao was a little speechless. He naturally knew that one billion Xuanjing was simply not enough and could only maintain the minimum consumption. Most of it still required subsidies from various countries and sects, but why could others do well but you couldn't?
"Headmaster Lin, I'm afraid the State of Qi is not to blame for this matter. The State of Qi is already in the hinterland of Nanzhou, unlike the State of Qin that borders Central Continent, so there is no sense of crisis at all, and the various sects are not willing to pay for it.
I'm afraid the situation will be even worse further south."
"Our country of Wu worked hard day and night and never stopped."
"That's because your country, Wu, is rich, and other countries are not like this."
"Buyun Shuang"
"Here, leader"
"Select thirty people from the alliance and go to various countries in the southwestern tip of Nanzhou to conduct secret inspections to see their implementation and report to me."
"Yes, Alliance Leader"
Bu Yunshuang left quickly and dispatched thirty Tiansheng Sect disciples, with the cooperation of Ye Xiao, to investigate the war readiness of various countries in Southern Continent.
Lin Xiao and others stayed in Qi State's White Jade City to discuss with Nanzhou's senior officials how to implement Nanzhou's war preparation plan.
Everyone's answer was the same, that is, money was needed. If the alliance's support could be doubled tenfold a year, then the combat readiness situation would be much better, and they were all eyeing Tianyong City and other unclaimed lands in various places.
The Borderless Land has a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles. Although Xuantianmen and the others destroyed it before leaving, the destruction was not completed. Moreover, after Lin Xiao’s hard work and integration for many years, various places are being restored. This is a piece of fat.
For example, Tianyong City has an annual income of hundreds of millions. Who wouldn’t be jealous of it?
Lin Xiao was filled with anger. Lin Xiao's original plan was to use these unclaimed lands for war. He would sell some of them before the war to use as military supplies, and the rest would be used for post-war rewards and pensions.
If it is used up at this time, what will happen during the war?
So Lin Xiao had nothing to talk about, but since Lin Xiao couldn't come up with money, the countries in the south refused to contribute. How much money they were given to do as many things as they wanted was fair to them. As for the war between the Five Continents Alliance, it had nothing to do with them.
How important is it? It’s not a genocide battle with the demon clan. If the Immortal Alliance wins, is it possible that they still dare to massacre the entire Nanzhou?
All countries had this attitude. Lin Xiao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. When Bu Yunshuang came back and handed over the investigation report, he was even more angry because the countries in the southern part of Nanzhou basically did not implement war preparation plans.
Many, but every year they only practice casually for a few days, and there is no practice at all. They just gather together to eat and drink for a few days, talk about the resources distributed by the alliance, and then disperse after eating and drinking. What should be done is still done. The entire South
, only Wu State is seriously preparing for war.
"What a bunch of pig teammates"
Lin Xiao was also very helpless about this. He didn't even have the power to coerce, and people didn't care about you at all. So what could be done? Lin Xiao encountered an unprecedented crisis when he took power.
The next inspection was no longer necessary. Lin Xiao and his team returned directly to Tianyong City. Then Lin Xiao took Qin Guo and other senior officials to Kunlun, met with Lu Leiyuan and others, and explained the situation in Nanzhou.
.
"In fact, we have known this situation for a long time. Except for the front line bordering the Immortal League, the rest of the places are relatively relaxed. Moreover, they have no big hatred against the Immortal League. It is not that only people from the Immortal League want to be neutral."
"Then what should we do? We simply can't mobilize all our strength."
"We can't, and the same goes for the Immortal Alliance, so the real main force is still our three sects and the seven sects of the Immortal Alliance."
"In this way, our advantage will be weakened."
"It's all the same. Is it possible that you have a way? The Five Continents Alliance has tens of millions of troops. Do you know how much financial resources it takes to prepare for a full year of war? We can't sustain it even if we empty out the three sects."
"Ten years, almost ten years to go, is our plan to seize the super battleship. That will be the breaking point."
Lin Xiao replied. Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the consumption caused by the confrontation between the two sides was unbearable by both sides. The three sects could not bear it, and the same could be said for the seven sects. Therefore, the super battleship was the flashpoint of the war, regardless of whether Lin Xiao went there or not.
The capture is the same, the Immortal Alliance will also use super battleships to attack the Five Continents Alliance.
"Almost, this matter must be kept secret, and the super battleship must be obtained or destroyed."
"I know, then before taking action, I will make the final integration of Nanzhou's forces to cope with the war."
"Okay, I will reveal some secrets to you in advance. Once the outbreak breaks out, your Southern Continent will send out a large army to occupy Central Continent. You need to go all the way south to cut off the connection between Shenmu Sect and Tianxuan Sect. It is best to force Shenmu Sect to surrender or defeat them.
At least three to four million troops are needed, you must be prepared."
"This task is difficult"
"We will support you. When the time comes to fight, we will forcefully integrate resources, and we will assist you with high-level monks."
"I know, I'll try my best"
"It doesn't matter if the countries in the southern part of Nanzhou are not as satisfactory as they want. It's just a good time for them to guard against the barbarians. We have received news that the demon tribes in the South China Sea and the East China Sea have made changes, and they may take advantage of the situation."
"Has Luo Xinghai already notified you?"
"Notice, the third line of defense is being reinforced secretly. If nothing can be done, Luo Xinghai will be abandoned."
"I understand, Qin's port will be opened by then."
"Um"
"I'm leaving and going back"
"Fellow Daoist Lin, please relax. This is not a war between one country and one sect. If a war breaks out, they will not be allowed to act recklessly."
Lu Leiyuan said, now they can deal with the alliance, but if there is a real fight, they can't help it. The Five Continents Alliance will not kill them all, but there is no problem in controlling their high-level monks.
Normally, major sects control advanced spiritual objects of all classes and have a monopoly. When the time comes to use this big killer weapon, all countries will have to obey silently.
After Lin Xiao returned, he sent a message to Fenghuo Island, asking them to prepare for evacuation, especially to contact Dafang Island. As one of the overlords of Luo Xinghai Islands, Dafang Island is better informed and will need to help each other when the time comes.
