Zhao Duo's words stunned many people who had not received the news.
Wu Fanghai was the first to speak, "Didn't the information we explored earlier say that the Qingyun Kingdom was united internally due to the huge external pressure?"
Zhao Duo said calmly: "This was true before, but things have changed recently. Because we canceled the military operation, and the confrontation between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect, it finally turned into a military confrontation.
Under such circumstances, neither we nor the Kingdom of Taihua can continue to take military action against the Kingdom of Qingyun.
In this way, the Kingdom of Qingyun instantly lost external military pressure.
Without external pressure, internal discord breaks out.
Previously, the Kingdom of Qingyun attracted many masters, nobles, aristocratic families, etc. from Western countries. If you want to arrange for these people, you must give up part of the land and interests, and some positions of powerful officials; this will undoubtedly affect
The vested interests in the country of Qingyun.
Now, many conflicts have broken out between the inherent interest groups in Qingyun Country and the newly moved interest groups.
Just last night, a bloody conflict broke out between the two sides, and many Yuanyingqi people died in the conflict. At this point, the two sides are completely torn apart."
After Zhao Duo explained the cause and effect clearly, everyone suddenly realized.
Liu Xinyu thought for a while and asked: "Then what impact does this have on us?"
"Your Majesty, I think we may be able to take the opportunity to invite some of the masters who have fled to Qingyun Kingdom.
In fact, after more than a year of development, the Qixia Kingdom is now strong enough. A considerable part of the civil strife in the Qingyun Kingdom is because those masters who fled to the Qingyun Kingdom have seen that there is no hope of restoring the country!
There is no hope of restoring the country, but they are eager to return to their homeland. This is the mentality of many people now. As long as we can master this mentality, we can win over these masters.
As long as a master is brought over, the master gap between us will be enlarged to two people!"
Liu Xinyu thought for a moment and nodded, "This matter will be left to the prime minister. If possible, try to make it as beautiful as possible, but it must comply with our country's laws."
"Understood!" Zhao Duo returned to the queue and began to think about this matter.
Wu Fanghai came out, "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion, we should establish a special army. The special army will use sniper rifles, thunder cannons and other war machines, as well as a large number of equipment such as the Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation, Dutian Fiery Formation, etc.
, and arrange a special Nascent Soul Stage legion to prepare for war at any time.
The next war will probably be even more brutal, and we must be fully prepared."
Liu Xinyu did not speak, but turned to look at Zhang Hao. If you want to establish a special corps, you need the power of the Dayang Group. If nothing else, the Thunder Cannon of the Dayang Group has not been provided to the country yet.
There are also the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation, etc. Although the ones made of black iron are also very good, they are ultimately not as good as those made by Gaunt.
In addition, Zhang Hao also talked about fully enclosed armored combat vehicles and so on, which made you feel inspired.
Obviously, Wu Fanghai's proposal this time was also aimed at Zhang Hao.
But this time Zhang Hao was very straightforward, "The Dayang Group in front of us has been able to mass-produce thunder cannons, armored combat vehicles, the brand-new Heaven-Sealing Earth-Sealing Formation, Dutian Fiery Formation, etc.
In the next 10 days, we will provide the country with 50 thunder cannons, 5,000 shells, 300 fully enclosed armored combat vehicles, 100,000 related ballista shells, 100 million machine gun bullets, and 100 sets of various formations.
Not enough.
As for the price, I have to go back and sort it out. But the state is allowed to borrow money from Luzhou Bank. This loan can be interest-free for two years. As long as the loan can be repaid within two years, there is no need to pay any interest!"
Hearing that Zhang Hao was so generous as soon as he opened his mouth, many people's eyes became even more interesting. They glanced back and forth at Zhang Hao and Liu Xinyu. Of course, their eyes were very hidden.
Liu Xinyu didn't care about this. She thought about it for a long time and suddenly said, "Xuan Huang Zhi, the right general of the Imperial Guard!"
Huang Zhi came in after a while.
Liu Xinyu immediately appointed Huang Zhi to form a special operations corps, and recruited masters and elites from all over the army. After talking for a while, Liu Xinyu asked Zhang Hao how many people were suitable for the special operations corps.
Zhang Hao thought for a while and said: "A thunder cannon requires at least five people to operate it. Fortunately, the cultivation level does not need to be high, the sixth level of Qi Refining is enough.
Although the defense of a fully enclosed armored combat vehicle is strong, it must have enough reaction speed to keep up with the pace of war. It is recommended that it is at least the late stage of Jindan or its peak. The person leading the team should have a cultivation level of mid-stage Nascent Soul or above.
An armored fighting vehicle requires at least four people to operate it.
There are also various formations, ranging from a dozen to hundreds of people.
Finally, logistics must be calculated! Logistics is particularly important in mechanized battles. Calculating the power of the Thunder Cannon, if fifty Thunder Cannons are fired together, the propellant plus the weight of the shells will exceed 100 tons. And the transfer of the Thunder Cannon is also very difficult.
Need expert help.
Also, the biggest weakness of the war machine is that it is bulky and easy to be attacked by enemies. Corresponding guards also need to be deployed.
Therefore, I suggest that the number of special operations troops should not be less than 3,000, and their cultivation level should be at least above the foundation building stage. And be equipped with enough Nascent Soul stage."
After a pause, Zhang Hao continued: "Also, the special operations corps should be completely in the hands of Your Majesty. Only Your Majesty has the right to mobilize this corps. After all, the Thunder Cannon has a range of up to 86 kilometers and can attack across mountains. Such a sharp weapon cannot be
You shouldn’t fake it in other people’s hands!
Logistics, finance, and military command should be separated into three powers."
Liu Xinyu nodded slowly and made adjustments immediately. As the commander-in-chief of the special operations corps, Huang Zhi was responsible for everything - but only in name. Logistics, finance, etc. were arranged by Liu Xinyu alone; however, in times of war, Huang Zhi had the right to supervise logistics.
and finance, but cannot intervene directly.
Then the court spent almost a day discussing the current situation, the military deployment of Qixia Kingdom and how to deal with the future.
Among them, the one who spoke the most was Zhang Hao, who rarely showed up.
Under Zhang Hao's explanation, everyone saw an unprecedented war pattern: it is almost certain that the central and western parts of the Fertile Continent, as well as the northwest of the Big Earth Continent, will definitely be involved in the war.
According to preliminary estimates, there are more than 100 countries involved, with a total area of no less than 250 million square kilometers, and a rough estimate of the population involved is tens of billions!
Although the war has not yet completely started, an unprecedented situation has been revealed to everyone.
And this does not take into account the possibility of Dongfang and the Immortal Yin Sect participating in the war later.
In the evening, everyone looked at the somewhat messy map drawn by Zhang Hao, and everyone felt increasingly heavy.
Finally, Zhang Hao pointed to the map and said slowly: "Everyone, war... is addictive. Because the winner can get everything he wants from war! He can do whatever he wants!
The most frightening thing about war is that once the middle and lower-level generals, soldiers and vested interests see the benefits, even the higher-ups cannot stop the continuation of the war. When that happens, the upper-levels will be coerced by the lower-levels.
For example, if the Kingdom of Qixia wants to have a truce now, but a general leads an army to attack its neighbor, what can we do? Maybe we can suppress it once or twice, but what about a dozen times?"
Everyone's expressions became calmer and heavier. Such battlefield scenes and situations have far exceeded everyone's expectations, as well as their abilities and experience!
Zhang Hao continued, "So in such a war, before the war breaks out completely, we must determine a goal and development direction for ourselves. We should not fight for a simple victory."
Liu Xinyu finally spoke: "What should be the goal?"
Facing this unprecedented war situation, Liu Xinyu also felt an indescribable powerlessness.
Zhang Hao slowly scanned the surroundings and spoke slowly: "My master once said this to me: If you don't have a long-term ambition, how can you reach far!
For individuals, this is true. For the country, it is not the same!
This war is not our end, nor is it our be all. It is just a small node on the development path of the Kingdom of Qixia.
We need to plan this war from the long-term perspective of national development.
I want to ask, what is the purpose of war?"
Everyone immediately spoke:
"Victory!"
"Of course it's a victory!"
"It's the country's interest!"
"yes…"
Zhang Hao shook his head, "War... is never a goal. It is a means! War is just a continuation of politics. Our goal is not a temporary victory, but long-term glory.
Therefore, the country of Qixia should not appear as a winner, but should stand on the commanding heights of morality and rise as a 'virtuous' image!
This war will most likely be a catastrophe, but it is also an opportunity.
Others go to war and destroy, but we need to protect them.
Protect those who need protection and rescue those who are suffering in the war. Whether they are our people or hostile people. In fact, the people are innocent.
The country of Qixia should open its borders and accept refugees. Give everyone a place of hope."
Liu Xinyu frowned: "I don't quite understand. What are the benefits of doing this?"
The queen is the queen, and when she opens her mouth, she asks for benefits.
Zhang Hao was not polite, "The benefits are great. War is not long-term. If our place can become a pure land in the war, Your Majesty, do you think those masters and big families will save their descendants, core personnel, and family members?"
How about sending it to us?
That way, we can do a lot of things! At the very least, we can attract many experts to the country.
The most important thing is that the war will eventually end. And if we can build relationships with these people, business and trade in Qixia Country will be smoother than ever before!
Your Majesty, and all of you, our greatest interest has never been war. It has been... trade! And trade requires friends!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
But Zhang Hao continued: "Moreover, we also have the biggest weapon. Do you think what it is?"
