Zhang Hao was stunned when he received the news of Dongfang's active attack. Countless information rolled through his mind in an instant.
The adoptive father Wu Fanghai once said: The Eastern countries have never taken the initiative to attack, never. But this time, the Eastern countries actually took the initiative to attack, and they were directly "millions of elites".
Zhang Hao will not doubt Wu Fanghai's words, which can only mean one thing: the two eastern countries have changed their fighting methods!
In other words, the two eastern countries believe that it is time to harvest?
Zhang Hao was shocked by his idea, but if this was really the case, then the situation would be really serious.
His father and second uncle were in seclusion, so Zhang Hao could only visit the City Lord's Mansion in person. Of course, before leaving, Zhang Hao ordered Huang Mingshan and others to conduct experiments with quicklime water and try to measure the volume reduction ratio of air after combustion.
The more tense the situation becomes, the more scientific experiments cannot be delayed.
Zhang Hao galloped on his horse, and in about three seconds, he reached the county town.
After entering the city gate, Zhang Hao hesitated, should he go to the city lord's mansion first or the guild first?
After thinking about it, Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and went straight to the guild.
Along the way, Zhang Hao found that the way everyone looked at him seemed... very gossipy?
Well, Zhang Hao didn't have time to think about this and went straight to the guild.
When I arrived at the guild, I saw everyone gathering together and making a lot of noise. Apparently the news had spread, and everyone looked quite nervous.
Before Zhang Hao could speak when he came in, someone called Zhang Hao and said that the vice chairman and four major ministers were already waiting.
Although Zhang Hao was just a deacon of the guild, no one ignored him. In Zhang Shengde's absence, Zhang Hao became Zhang Shengde's representative.
Entering the room, I saw that Vice Chairman Zhou Bo, Liang Siguang from the Administration Department, Gongsun Yunlong from the Organization Department, Bai Yunxian from the Marketing Department, and Feng Tai from the Patent Department had already arrived.
The only one missing is Zhang Shengde.
Everyone warmly asked Zhang Hao to sit down, and he sat next to Zhou Bo.
Zhang Hao sat down, and Zhou Bo said directly: "My dear nephew, how is the situation at home?"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, for your concern. I'm fine now. I expect to recover in three to five days."
"That's good. So, do you know about the situation of the two eastern countries taking the initiative?"
"My nephew just received a message from the city lord's palace and rushed here without stopping. I asked my uncle and other uncles to inform me of the specific situation."
Zhou Bo sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. The two eastern countries claim to have millions of legions, and they are all in the foundation building stage or above.
The millions of troops all flew using magic weapons, traveling anywhere from three to five hundred miles to as many as a thousand miles in a day, and the Kingdom of Jinyang could not stop them at all.
Now, the opponent is heading straight to Anqing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang. The Kingdom of Jinyang... is in danger!"
Blitzkrieg! This word suddenly appeared in Zhang Hao's mind.
Zhang Hao did not answer immediately. He thought for a moment and then said, "Haven't some of our elites from the Eastern countries already arrived in the Kingdom of Jinyang? We don't want to intercept them, but at least they can delay the enemy's footsteps, right?"
"We don't know this clearly. We don't understand military affairs, so we can't talk about military affairs. What we want to discuss now is how our Black Iron Guild should behave in this war?"
Zhang Hao immediately understood: everyone understands the truth of lips dying and teeth cold, but they also have their own little Jiujiu. However, Zhang Hao did not give the answer directly, but asked everyone what they thought.
Zhou Bo said: Guilds should contribute and donate to the country.
But Bai Yunxian said: This may be a bottomless pit. What if it eventually drags us down?
Liang Siguang immediately agreed: A small donation is okay, but we also have a large family to support, so it is impossible to donate for a long time.
Feng Tai, the new official, said coolly: Technology must be kept secret.
Finally, Gongsun Yunlong sighed leisurely: I also care about the country and the people, and I am also willing to donate. But donation is not a long-term solution. We need a long-term plan. This is healthy development.
After everyone had finished speaking, Zhang Hao finally spoke: "I have a suggestion. How about we lend Xuan Tie to the country on credit? For the credit standard, you can refer to a 'credit clause' previously formulated by the Zhang family. We can set the repayment time.
elongated.
In addition, we accept the state’s repayment in kind, tax compensation, etc.”
As soon as Zhang Hao made this suggestion, everyone's eyes suddenly brightened. Although the details were not yet available, the general direction had been determined. Zhang Hao finally got up and headed to the City Lord's Mansion.
The atmosphere inside the City Lord's Mansion was tense, and all the soldiers were fully armed. Zhang Hao waited in front of the City Lord's Mansion for almost ten minutes before being allowed to enter.
When Zhang Hao saw the city lord, Liu Jingming looked anxious. When he saw Zhang Hao, his tone was not good, "You'd better bring me good news. Otherwise, leave now. I don't have time to play with a child like you."
.”
child?
Zhang Hao had a black line, okay, I understand your current mood, and I won’t argue with you. Zhang Hao immediately told the Black Iron Guild’s decision.
Liu Jingming immediately stopped circling, and came to Zhang Hao in a daze, looking directly into Zhang Hao's eyes: "Are you telling the truth? How much Xuantie can the Xuantie Guild support now?"
Zhang Hao looked into Liu Jingming's eyes and said: "Under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the Black Iron Guild, 200 tons of Black Iron can be extracted every day. The quality can only be guaranteed to be more than 60% for the time being.
As for the credit terms, etc., the city lord needs to send someone to discuss it with the Black Iron Guild."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go in person." Liu Jingming was about to leave in a hurry.
Seeing this, Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask: "City Lord, is the situation very critical now?"
"Crisis... No, no, no, it's not critical at all. Aren't I concerned about the country's situation~~~"
Zhang Hao stood at the door and looked at Liu Jingming without saying anything.
Liu Jingming gradually calmed down and sighed: "I just received new information. There are a total of 300,000 elites in the two eastern countries, known as one million elites, all of whom are in the foundation building period.
Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Kingdom of Taihua, and Sima Tao, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Canglan Kingdom, personally led the troops. Both of them were masters of the late Nascent Soul.
Oh, the position of general of Shangzhu Kingdom is equivalent to our hussar general.
With 300,000 soldiers at least in the foundation-building stage, the unprepared Kingdom of Jinyang simply cannot stop it!
The army is now less than a thousand miles away from Anqing, the imperial capital of the Kingdom of Jinyang. According to the previous marching speed, it will take at most two days and no more than three days to reach the city!
And once the Kingdom of Jinyang falls, the six eastern kingdoms will be in disarray!
The most important thing is that now we have no time to support!”
Zhang Hao frowned, the situation was unexpectedly serious.
The core of blitzkrieg is to make the enemy lose the opportunity to react. However, blitzkrieg also has the weakness of blitzkrieg: logistics!
Regardless of his modesty, Zhang Hao said directly: "City Lord, I have a suggestion. The top priority now is to buy time at any cost.
I think that the Kingdom of Jinyang should abandon the imperial capital now and build the imperial capital into a cage to drag the enemy here.
We will then send a large army to block the enemy's retreat.
Finally, we mobilized the people of the Kingdom of Jinyang, mobilized our local advantages, and used the human sea tactic to trap the opponent's elite here.
This time, the two eastern countries certainly caught us off guard, but they also exposed their weaknesses in front of us.
This is an opportunity!
If we make good use of it, our Eastern Expedition may achieve unprecedented brilliant results!"
