The location Gui Zi'an was looking for was exactly the hotel where Fang Tangtang took Gao Neng and Shen Ning'er to last time. It was not far from Dongdu Military Academy, but the price was extremely high.
Obviously...
Gui Zian is also rich.
It's not surprising that the powerful ones are high. If a seventh-level powerhouse can't even afford a meal, then the powerhouses in this world are so worthless.
Guizi An ordered a table of food and a few bottles of wine.
This made Gao Neng a little surprised. A military school teacher led students to drink alcohol outside? It doesn't seem like normal logic, but none of that matters anymore.
After the dishes were served, Gao Neng and others did not move their chopsticks, but looked at Gui Zi'an eagerly.
"Let's talk while eating!" Gui Zi'an took the lead and said while eating: "I know you have questions in your hearts, but some issues involve too much, even I am not too clear."
"Don't even the teacher know?" Kong Kun was obviously a little surprised. After all, Gui Zi'an was the deputy dean of Dongdu Military Academy. If even Gui Zi'an didn't know, how confidential was this matter?
"I'll just give you a rough idea." Gui Zian waved his hand and continued: "Kong Kun asked just now why we need to start the change now. This question can be said to be complicated, but it can be said to be simple."
There was a slight pause.
Gui Zi'an continued: "First of all, what do you think the war is about? A battle between strong men? It is... but not entirely! In fact, in essence, no matter what kind of war it is, to the end,
What matters is the overall strength, not an 'individual'...
But where does the overall strength come from?
resource!
To put it simply, in the history before the catastrophe, which dynasties had strong enough armies? The Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, these are all included, but if you analyze it, you can find a truth.
It’s also a resource!
If the national strength is sufficient, the military will become strong. If the national strength is insufficient, the natural military strength will also be insufficient. Therefore, fundamentally speaking, if you want to launch a war, you must first have sufficient resources!"
Gao Neng, Fang Tangtang and others nodded slightly when they heard this. Without resources, there would be no well-trained army, because you can't make better weapons and armor, and you don't have enough.
Food and grass support your consumption in the war.
There is an ancient saying that goes before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first.
In fact, this is the truth.
Seeing Gao Neng and others nodding, Gui Zi'an continued: "What does a reincarnation of twenty years mean? It means that the strong men of the alien race can be resurrected after twenty years, but it also means another problem, which is...
Twenty years of a war!
It has been nearly a hundred years since the Great Cataclysm. Humanity has had a total of four wars during this period. In fact, the current Human Alliance is no longer what it used to be.
Although mankind suffered heavy losses in the first war, it resulted in victory. In the second war, mankind did not actually gain much victory.
By the time of the third war, mankind was defeated. It was at the beginning of that era that mankind established an alliance and integrated all resources.
But even so, it's already too late...
The war eighteen years ago can be said to be the most cruel war. Before that war, in addition to the City of Hope, mankind had some other lands. But after that war, mankind could only hold on to hope.
Capital, the alliance is almost destroyed, can you understand what this means?"
"Teacher, do you mean that the resources left by the Human Alliance are no longer enough to sustain a war?" Feng Qingqing's tone changed somewhat.
"It's not as simple as not being able to sustain a war..." Gui Zi'an sighed: "The loss of land means that the speed of resource collection is not as fast as before.
Eighteen years of development have made them even stronger!"
"Then do we still have hope? Do we have to wait to die?" Feng Qingqing's body trembled slightly. She knew about the existence of alien races.
However, little did he know that the situation had reached this point.
These things...
Her family didn't tell her.
"Of course there is hope. We humans cannot wait to die. As long as one of us exists, we will fight to the death. But change is imperative!" Gui Zi'an gritted his teeth.
"Teacher, how should we change?" Kong Kun asked again.
"Are we going to concentrate resources?! Cultivate a group of powerful people?" Feng Qingqing also asked.
"Haha... how can it be so easy to cultivate the most powerful people? However, what you said is not wrong. Concentrating resources is indeed one aspect, but this time, our goal is not to be the most powerful, but to cultivate high-level people.
!”
"High level?"
"To cultivate a powerful person, the resources required are often hundreds or even thousands of times that of a high-level person. Moreover, it takes longer and the unknowns are greater! Because you don't know those hundreds of times at all.
If we throw in twice as many resources, can we really create a powerful person?" Gui Zi'an explained.
"The unknown..." Gao Neng understood what Gui Zi'an meant.
To become the strongest, you need not only talent and resources, but also opportunities. Without opportunities, no amount of resources can create the strongest.
But then...
Can those who really hold the power agree?
Take out the resources that originally belong to them and give them to others?
Just to create more high-level people?
This can no longer be called a change!
It can be said that it has cut off the hope of those people to become the strongest. This kind of change is really terrible, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it takes food from the tiger's mouth.
"Those who hope to be promoted to the strongest, can you agree? They are all high-level leaders of the Human Alliance...and who are we?" Gao Neng asked the doubts in his heart.
"Of course I don't agree!" Gui Zian glanced at Gao Neng, nodded, and then continued: "Besides, those high-level people don't think that high-level people are useful in a real war!"
"..." Feng Qingqing and Kong Kun looked at each other.
It’s not just those at the top, right?
Even they themselves don't think hundreds of more high-level ones will have any effect in a real battlefield.
Isn't it true that the strongest dominates the battlefield?
"I know we also hold the same idea. It seems to be a truth that the strongest dominates the battlefield, but the problem now is... not enough resources and not enough time!" Gui Zi'an naturally saw what a few people were thinking.
"What if it doesn't work? If the high-level ones can't play a role on the battlefield, and the strongest ones are not enough, then we humans...are really going to perish?" Feng Qingqing said again.
"Will two more years be enough for the strongest?" Gui Zian asked back, with a bit of sadness in his eyes: "In the war eighteen years ago, more than half of the strongest humans fell.
Human beings will not exceed twenty, and the alien race in two years’ time, do you know how many strongest people there will be?”
"How many?"
"At least a hundred!"
"One hundred?!" Feng Qingqing's eyes widened when she heard this.
"This is just a conservative estimate based on the battlefield eighteen years ago. Eighteen years ago, the alien race occupied a large amount of land and resources, and its development rate was several times that of us humans. If there are still some in these eighteen years,
The most powerful person appears, but if we don’t know...in those two years, the number of the most powerful aliens will be over a hundred!"
"..." Feng Qingqing and Kong Kun stopped talking.
Twenty of the strongest human beings.
There are more than a hundred powerful aliens.
How to fight this?!
With a gap of five times, it is simply impossible to fight.
"The Human Alliance is now in a dead end. Eighteen years ago, the Human Alliance desperately consumed resources and wanted to create the strongest person again. However, so far, only two people have become the strongest person in the past eighteen years...
...There are still two years left, how many more powerful people can be created?" Gui Zian said at the end and sighed.
"Teacher, will we die?"
"Will humans really disappear from this land?"
"Teacher, what should we do?"
"..."
When Feng Qingqing heard this, she was already a little incoherent.
"Now, do you know why the change has not happened until now?" Guizian poured a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Kong Kun said nothing.
Fang Tangtang was also silent.
Gao Neng also understood in his heart that the Human Alliance wanted to create the most powerful person, but it was too difficult and the plan of the most powerful person failed.
Only two years to go...
There is no way for humans to continue on this path.
This is not change.
This is actually a gamble.
Moreover, it is still a huge gamble of life and death.
The atmosphere in the venue began to become a little overwhelming. Gui Zian ate the food and drank the wine, but said nothing.
Kong Kun was silent for a while, then began to pour himself a glass of wine, imitating Gui Zi'an and drank it in one gulp, his face slightly red.
Feng Qingqing also started drinking.
It seems that he has a pretty good drinking capacity, at least stronger than Kong Kun.
Fang Tangtang was actually drinking the moment she sat down at the table. Now that she saw everyone was drinking, she also picked up the wine glass and handed it to Gao Neng.
"cheers!"
"Cheers." Gao Neng picked up the cup, and his emotions were also affected. His chest was filled with pressure, and he suddenly became a little arrogant.
Drink down a glass of wine.
I have a burning feeling in my stomach.
Gui Zi'an saw that everyone had a drink, and his eyes became a little deeper. His eyes swept over the faces of the four people, and finally put down his chopsticks: "Do you feel that there is no hope?"
"Teacher, is there still hope?" Feng Qingqing raised her head with difficulty.
"Of course there is hope. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will not give up, nor can we give up, because once we give up, we will have no choice but to wait for death!" Gui Zian nodded solemnly.
"What hope is there? There are more than a hundred powerful aliens, and we only have less than twenty. We humans will definitely be exterminated!"
