(Special response to readers’ questions about nuclear bombs washing away the land: Any civilization that progresses must maintain rationality and reject complete barbarism. The reason why civilization exists is for progress, not destruction.)
Zhang Hao was finally calm enough, so although he stood up in shock, he finally calmed down.
Although things are serious, anxiety can't change anything.
Zhang Hao took a few deep breaths and began to think patiently:
Last time, due to Tianji Pavilion's tip-off, Dayang Group was able to know the secret plan of Xuanhuang World. They actually planned to secretly delay it for three to two months, or even three to five months, to upgrade the fighting power of the king's masters.
Because of this information, Dayang Group decided to "kill the killer" and completely destroy the Xuanhuang World's plan.
This time, Dayang Group did a good job and found a good excuse. Therefore, the outside world thought that the fundamental reason why Dayang Group suddenly killed people was because of the Xuanhuang World's "knowing mistakes and not correcting them"!
Even Xuanhuang World itself thinks so.
In this way, Dayang Group concealed its original purpose very well and naturally protected Tianji Pavilion.
But this time the information is too big. According to the information from Tianji Pavilion, Xuanhuang World is almost 'completely confidential' this time, and theoretically it is impossible to leak the secrets.
Therefore, if Dayang Group wants to attack Xuanhuang World's actions, it must first find a more perfect excuse. Tianji Pavilion must not be exposed.
As for the excuse from last time, it is a bit forced to use it again. You cannot treat the enemy as a fool.
Moreover, using the same excuse repeatedly shows that Dayang Group is too petty.
Zhang Hao thought for a while, but couldn't think of any better way, so he could only hold a high-level meeting again. Although the top management of Dayang Group was busy everywhere, with the advancement of communication technology, some people could participate in the meeting remotely.
The internal communication system of Dayang Group is completely unimaginable to the outside world. As for the issue of leaks, there is basically no need to consider it.
Technology is the foundation of Dayang Group. It is precisely because of the strong technology that people within Dayang Group will basically not consider leaving. But it is precisely because of technology that Zhang Hao pays special attention to the books he discovered this time.
That is the collection of books of an advanced civilization, possibly the entire collection of advanced books! This is the soul of an advanced civilization, the fire left behind by an advanced civilization. Its value, significance, etc., are completely beyond description in words and numbers.
Therefore, Dayang Group will never allow these books to escape its control. This is already related to the foundation of Dayang Group's survival, and there is absolutely no room for concession or choice.
There have been a lot of things going on recently, and Dayang Group's senior executives have been preparing for war almost 24 hours a day. In just three minutes, almost 80% of the senior executives came to the scene or indirectly participated in the meeting through the phone. The remaining 20% were guarding the important places of Dayang Group and waiting.
, it is really impossible to separate.
Zhang Hao didn't waste any time and explained the situation directly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then started a heated discussion.
Zheng Shaojie, who is about the same age as Zhang Hao, said: "How about we send people directly to Liuli Island to urge Liuli Island to make a choice as soon as possible? With this excuse, we can send people to Liuli Island to set up defenses, at least enough to intercept Xuanhuang World in a short time.
Master, buy time."
"No, it's too obvious!" Bai Yutang said calmly, "This arrangement is too targeted.
Before, we had always let everyone discuss it and never pushed it. We suddenly pushed it, and it was a critical moment for Xuanhuang World to take action, so it was easy to be seen through. Even if it was not seen through, suspicion is always inevitable."
Zhou Xueyao also spoke next to him: "I am more worried about whether Xuanhuang World will come to attack the west. After several incidents, I am worried that Zu Qianyue, or Wang Ruiyang and others have suspected that there is a traitor within them.
So, this time the opponent uses so many top experts, what if instead of going to Liuli Island, they...come to us?"
Zhou Xueyao's words instantly made everyone's hair stand on end.
This possibility is really too great!
Yes, Dayang Group is very powerful, but if it suddenly overtakes hundreds of late-level and peak masters, even if Dayang Group wins in the end, it will probably be severely damaged.
The war between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Kingdom of Shaoze showed everyone the powerful destructive power of Dharma/King Dao level masters.
Although nuclear bombs are powerful, Dharma/King Dao level masters can destroy them along the way.
If this time is really a 'test' in the Xuanhuang world, or a 'striking in the east and attacking in the west', if Dayang Group makes the wrong choice, the consequences will be disastrous.
Everyone started to discuss it for a while, and various ideas were constantly put forward.
The importance of the books on Liuli Island is self-evident, but the security of Dayang Group's homeland is equally important.
Mu Pengcheng whispered: "What if we continue to pursue Nangong Zhi? According to the news from Tianji Pavilion, the masters of Xuanhuang World will first assist Nangong Zhi. Maybe we can find Nangong Zhi and then fall behind Nangong Zhi."
"It's still too passive!" Murong Shan said, "From a military perspective, I don't recommend such an action. Because it means we are following the enemy's rhythm, which is a very fatal choice.
The best method should be more proactive. The rhythm must be under our control.
I remember, didn’t Tian Guiping leave a small ‘fishing bait’ before? Can I use it?”
"I'm afraid...it won't be easy..." Bai Ye frowned a little.
"I have an idea!" Li Shu, the only female general of the Ocean Group, suddenly spoke, with a crisp and domineering voice, "Did we pay too much attention to the name in the past?
Mr. Zhang, and everyone, we just wiped out more than 250 king-level masters in the Xuanhuang world in one go, and we even captured 106 prisoners before.
We have been strong enough before, why not continue to be strong?
I know that Dayang Group must pay attention to name, etc. This is also the most important "decoration" for Dayang Group to stand at the top of the world.
But decoration is decoration after all. Don’t abandon the fundamentals just because of decoration.
This is a world of spiritual practice, a world of the jungle! In this world, it is the strong who are respected, not... the so-called moral role models.
Yes, everyone likes moral role models. But everyone is more afraid of the strong!
I think that Dayang Group has already stood on the commanding heights of morality, and there is no need to consider more moral and nominal matters. At the moment, we should consider combat issues more."
After Li Shu said this, he paused for a moment, gave everyone a moment to breathe, and took a breath himself, and then continued: "Let's talk about the 'bait' left by General Tian Guiping.
There are two ways to catch fish. One is active induction, which is called fishing. But fishing is too inefficient.
But there is another efficient method, that is... fish netting! Take the initiative to drag fish in the net, which is highly efficient and yields big harvests!
Regarding this matter specifically, we can definitely take the initiative.
We don't need to intercept from the sea, we directly send troops to the Xuanhuang world, take the initiative to expose ourselves, and lure the king into a trap."
After hearing this, Zhang Hao slowly spoke: "Because we didn't return a few books to others, we went to kill them? This may relieve our anger, but... isn't it too overbearing?"
Murong Shan also nodded, "General Li Shu, there are some things where going too far is not enough. Although doing this is powerful and relieves anger, it is not a solution to the problem.
This is not just kids playing house, we need to consider all aspects.
And to take a step back, even if we do this, we will even destroy the Lingbo Group, Biyuntian, etc. But we still cannot completely eliminate their masters.
Instead, without the control of the rear base camp, these masters became more unscrupulous and had no worries; once these masters came to cause trouble, the consequences would be disastrous.
The reason why Dayang Group is safe is not only because we have strong defenses and experts, but also because no one is sure to wipe out all the experts of Dayang Group in one go."
Bai Yutang also spoke: "General Li Shu, your suggestion is good. However... it is too risky to blindly kill the opponent's headquarters before destroying their masters.
Just like when we attacked Tianji Pavilion. Although we shot down their Sky City, we did not attack again after that. Instead, we just left.
Are we incapable of continuing the attack?
No, we do!
but why?"
Before Li Shu could speak, Bai Yutang said: "It's actually very simple. Don't kill the opponent easily before you are absolutely sure that you can kill the opponent with a stick. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences instead of killing the snake."
Li Shu's face turned a little red, but he still said: "But the current situation is very urgent. We don't have much time left.
More than a hundred kingly masters in the Xuanhuang World can reach Liuli Island in perhaps a day and a half, or at most two days. And it will take at least half a day for us to deploy our forces to Liuli Island."
Murong Shan nodded: "Yes, we don't have much time. But even so, we have to be more calm. Sometimes, it is better to do nothing than make mistakes.
In this matter, we must first protect Tianji Pavilion. In any case, we cannot let our allies down. Besides, we may not be able to conquer the Xuanhuang World in a short time. And before that, Tianji Pavilion's status is very important.
Secondly, we can consider other things."
Li Shu frowned, and his tone was a bit off, "This won't work, and that won't work either. Let's just grab these books ourselves! We'll save you the trouble of scheming, aren't you tired!"
Murong Shan looked at Li Shu, feeling like an elder looking at a junior, and shook his head slightly. Since he has become a general, he cannot act on his own initiative.
However, Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened at this moment. "Yes, General Li Shu's proposal is not bad!"
"Ah..." Li Shu's beautiful eyes widened, and he was a little confused for a moment. What did I propose?
Just listen to Zhang Hao say: "Everyone knows that the incident that completely severed the relationship between Dayang Group and Xuanzhen Sect was because Xuanzhen Sect robbed us. Of course, we planned that incident.
So, can we borrow a similar method this time?
Immediately organize a group of thieves to rob the books. Then we have an excuse to recruit experts to protect Liuli Island!
As for our homeland, we naturally have the means to block the attacks from the masters of the Xuanhuang World. And as long as we have nuclear bombs in hand, everyone must consider the cost of attacking the Ocean Group's homeland casually!
Therefore, I think the mainland of Ocean Group is relatively safe. Of course, we cannot relax the preparations we should make."
Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, a little dumbfounded for a moment.
This is really...a cool operation!
There was a smile on Zhang Hao's lips, a little proud of himself. Although he came up with such a strategy with Li Shu's "complaint energy blessing", it was also Zhang Hao who thought of a technology called "vaccine".
Before the real virus comes, first inject the vaccine into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies. When the virus really comes... haha!
There are some things in these, indeed they are all similar.
I have an idea, but it is not easy to organize a 'thieves group' in a short period of time and be credible.
"Black Crow Mercenary Group!" Fu Yun sent a suggestion through the phone.
At this time, Fu Yunyuan was in charge of the Mercenary Guild on Sanxian Island, but he communicated through wireless landlines. The wireless landlines sold by Dayang Group could only 'send text messages', but Dayang Group's own wireless landlines could already make voice calls, and they were very convenient.
Fu Yun said: "What I mean is that you can publish a mission in the mercenary guild, and it should be done with great fanfare and attract attention. Maybe it will be enough for Liuli Island to defend itself without sending troops.
The reason why I proposed the "Black Crow Mercenary Group" is because this mercenary group is a bit special. This mercenary group can be regarded as a representative of the underworld.
The Black Crow Mercenary Group often takes on some unconventional tasks, such as assassinations, escort robberies, robbing companions, intelligence, etc., and of course exploration, etc.
We don't need to form a band of thieves ourselves. We have a mercenary guild and we only need to issue tasks.
Moreover, there are anonymous missions within the mercenary guild."
His thoughts became clearer and Zhang Hao's eyes became brighter. But there was still one problem.
But before Zhang Hao could speak, Murong Shan asked, "Going through the mercenary guild is a good way. But is it too sudden to issue a mission suddenly?"
Also, if you want to arouse the defense and alert of Liuli Island, one or two mercenary groups may not be enough. It would be better to have a dozen, even dozens, or even more mercenary groups to accept the task.
But if you do this, the amount of the task will not be small. It will be a bit conspicuous."
Fu Yun was silent for a while.
However, everyone at the scene was also thinking silently.
Suddenly Li Shu spoke up, "How about in the name of the Kingdom of Shaoze. The Kingdom of Shaoze has just been destroyed, so it is appropriate to have thoughts of destruction. And the Kingdom of Shaoze did leave enough
wealth.
Nangong Zhi left in a hurry. There is still a queen in the palace of Shaoze Kingdom!
We find someone to lobby the Queen or secretly control the Queen."
At this moment, Bai Ye spoke: "Haha, leave this to me. Fu Yun, get ready over there. I will send a big gift to the mercenary guild right away."
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Fu Yun was full of questions.
"Just wait!" Bai Ye smiled brightly, with snow-white teeth, and then turned to look at Zhang Hao, "Mr. Zhang, time is tight, I will make arrangements now. If everything goes well, maybe there will be a reply in the early morning."
Although Zhang Hao was a little curious, he also knew that time was tight in this matter and every second counted. So he nodded and said, "Then I wish you good luck."
Bai Ye chuckled: "Let's wait for the good news. I think Nangong Zhi will like this drama."
