Chapter 1277 War Preparations, the First Shot Is Fired!

At the end of the wasteland, on June 2nd, calendar year 2, the wheels of history were turning, and they finally left a mark.

"Buy! Buy! Buy!"

"The current price is a preferential price. Set it first, otherwise the price will definitely increase when there are more people!"

"We can still make deliveries, so what's there to worry about? We might even be able to hitchhike home together."

"Clothes, we have to buy a lot of new clothes when we go back. Many people still wear the same clothes they had when they traveled to the wasteland, and they are almost turning into rags!"

"You're right, buy more medicines, otherwise it will be too hard to fight every fever and cold."

""

Facing all kinds of goods in Tianyuan Territory, prices are far lower than the market average.

The people from the Red Flower Gang, Black Shark Gang, Shenwei Territory, and Fire Phoenix Valley suddenly turned into locusts and almost went crazy.

Although the price of millions of copper coins sounds staggering, once these copper coins are converted into the hard currency of the New World-gold, their actual value is completely within the acceptable range.

Taking 100,000 quilts as an example, the price paid is only 800 kilograms of gold.

For the Honghua Gang who were lucky enough to discover a small gold mine, this expense was negligible and would hardly have any substantial impact on the operation of their territory.

Of course, directly purchasing these various finished products instead of producing them yourself will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the developing industrial chain in the territory.

These cheap foreign goods will quickly flood into the market and meet domestic demand at low prices, making it impossible for related industries in the territory to compete with them.

But having said that, how long will it take to produce 100,000 quilts with the capabilities of the Honghua Gang?

Half a year?

One year?

Two years?

Under the current urgent need for food, these cotton and linen crops will never be grown on the only arable land in the territory.

The technology in the territory does not allow them to conduct research and development to develop alternative silk products.

And when they are able to produce, how long will it take?

Is it really necessary to rely on that mat woven from weeds to survive several springs, summers, autumns and winters?

People who have experienced the fluffy hotel beds have expressed their opinions that even if they are hungry for a few meals, they must have a set, let alone if it does not cost much.

In addition, regardless of the factors of domestic demand in the territories, the four major territories must show some sincerity if they want to cooperate with Tianyuan.

At the very least, Tianyuan must make money before further cooperation can be carried out.

In the initial plan, the lords of the Honghua Gang had even prepared to donate a batch of resources in order to obtain a quota for cooperation with the Tianyuan Territory.

Now that there is no need to pay tribute, these resources were naturally purchased by Liu Zhi into various materials.

‘One hundred thousand quilts, five hundred thousand towels, three hundred thousand sweatshirts and sweatpants, five hundred thousand short-sleeves, and fifty thousand bars of soap’

‘Millions of human doses of medical supplies, cold medicines, antibiotics, painkillers, disinfectants, surgical tools’

‘Three hundred second-generation ‘Little Thunder Eagle’ stone-taking electrical appliances used to supply energy’

‘One hundred “short-distance convenient communicators” that can communicate at will within 300 kilometers’

''

The Honghua Gang purchases the most items related to people's livelihood, highlighting a wealthy man.

In comparison, the other three territories seemed a bit embarrassed.

They don't have natural gold mines to mine like the Honghua Gang. Their only reserves are obtained through difficult exchanges with other territories.

In addition, the size of the territory is much smaller than that of the Honghua Gang, so it is natural to be more cautious when purchasing.

However, the considerate Logistics Department seemed to understand their difficulties, and Minister Shen Ke came to the scene in person.

"Although gold is the hard currency of the wasteland, our Tianyuan has equally high demand for other resources."

"We are in urgent need of a large number of other types of resources, including but not limited to mineral resources, biological resources, local specialty resources, etc. I have arranged for staff to post the specific list in the town. You can check it out on your own."

"In addition, it doesn't matter if there are no minerals. We also recycle props, cards, and rewards issued by various games."

"In the future, we will also recycle various raw materials, such as processed steel and iron materials, or use them as raw materials for chemical synthesis, etc."

There was no expected human trade, and the leaders of the four major territories were relieved.

What they were most afraid of before coming was that the Tianyuan Territory asked for a population and exchanged the population for resources, etc.

But now Shen Ke has not mentioned that there is a high probability that Tianyuan Territory does not need too many people to settle in.

Thinking of this, the four of them started to worry about gains and losses, and began to think wildly.

What if Tian Yuan really proposes human trafficking?

The lords of the four major territories can refuse, but can they do it?

After confirming that the territory’s first foreign trade was proceeding extremely smoothly.

Sumo returned to his desk and began to look at the information on the four territories prepared for him by Dean Qiao with a focused expression.

Just at a glance, the first line of information above makes people a little nervous.

"Honghua Gang, leader Ji Wuming, yo, this guy's name is quite similar to the hero of the novel."

"This name has never appeared in the future ruins. It seems that he is another guy who was influenced by me."

The timelines between the real wasteland and the wasteland in the future ruins have been completely different.

Although in some grand stages, such as the Northern Territory, Dragon Flag, Golden Eagle and other super territories, the changes in them are not obvious.

However, looking at these small and medium-sized territories, more and more buried talents have emerged.

There is no need to trace the reason back. Because of the war at the end of the year, the human population was nearly halved in half a year and fell below 1 billion, and now the number is at least 2 billion.

The gap of nearly 1 billion people is three times that of the Lighthouse Country. It is not surprising that there is such a situation now.

"The Red Flower Gang controls an area of ​​130 kilometers in radius, with a total of more than 200,000 people."

"The straight-line distance from Tianyuan is 2,900 kilometers, but it can be reduced to about 1,600 kilometers by water."

"There are three patrol protection teams in the territory, each with 500 people. Hey, this Ji Wuming"

In the lively barbecue party of the group of people last night, there were a lot of exaggerated bragging and gossip.

Su Mo screened through this information, excluding those that were too outrageous and exaggerated, and finally stopped at the records about Ji Wuming.

Surprisingly, this record not only records in detail how Ji Wuming led people to penetrate into the dwarf territory many times to plunder and rob supplies, but also records three battles in which the dwarves fought back in anger after being robbed, but were counterattacked by Ji Wuming and his people.

So awesome?

Su Mo picked up the map next to him and began to carefully calculate the distance between the Red Flower Gang and the dwarf camp.

As expected, the distance between the two is indeed very close, only about 500 kilometers.

This also means that the description in the record is likely not a fake, but a real thing.

Zero, floating in the air, is also retrieving this information. According to the judgment logic of artificial intelligence, after in-depth analysis and evaluation, it finally gave an evaluation with extremely high reference value.

"Master, this is a reference topographic map I drew based on all the information I have collected recently in the territory."

Zero's voice echoed in the air, and with a flash of light, the projection on the wall changed instantly, showing a more detailed and sophisticated map.

This topographic map not only depicts the changes in topography after the earthquake, but also accurately and repeatedly modifies the subtle changes in every mountain, valley, and plain.

What is even more rare is that it also clearly marks the main and branch flow directions of the Julong Xianjiang River, allowing people to make a clear judgment at a glance.

You can say that.

Even if this topographic map cannot be 100% accurate, it can restore more than 80% of the topography of the New World.

And to achieve such accuracy, it is inseparable from the busy work of the External Relations Department within half an hour after each earthquake.

It is precisely with the information collected from the major territories that Zero can draw such an accurate map.

"The distance between the territory border of the Red Flower Gang and the main stream of the Julong Xianjiang River is roughly 3 to 8 kilometers. The nearest tributary to the Xianjiang River is between 70 and 110 kilometers away."

"In comparison, the dwarf territory we are going to is far away from the main stream of the Xianjiang River, about 50-80 kilometers away, and the nearest tributary is also within 15 to 35 kilometers."

These data sound a bit confusing, but they are very intuitive when displayed on the map.

Starting from Tianyuan Territory and heading north, you can reach the territory of the Red Flower Gang after sailing for 1,600 kilometers.

If you continue to go north without stopping, you can reach the vicinity of the Dwarf Territory in about 450 kilometers.

However, due to the terrain division, the border of the Red Flower Gang is very close to the main trunk of the Xianjiang River and can be reached on foot.

Dwarf Territory is too large and relatively far away from the main trunk, so you must drive a vehicle to approach the border.

To be honest, according to the current armed strength of Tianyuan Territory

Even at this stage, the borders of the territories of the Wan Guo Dwarves have already built defense facilities, but it is not difficult to launch a sudden attack at night.

A few rounds of rockets can directly stun the dwarves.

However, after that, if you want to continue to attack the heartland of the dwarves, plunder at least five gathering places and capture 10,000 dwarves, it would be a bit of a pipe dream.

Unless the battle line of this expedition is stretched to a very long distance, a large number of land combat vehicles are transported first, and then the fleet is allowed to enter the narrower tributaries through the main trunk for support, otherwise it is impossible to complete this challenge.

But by then, it is estimated that the three-month deadline stipulated in the challenge task has long passed.

Of course, the architecture of artificial intelligence determines that countless attempts can be made in the simulation to find a way out of the predicament.

Since Zero has provided a complete topographic map, it means that there must be another option.

"Well, Master, if we can develop the Red Flower Gang into our expedition base, then the ships can enter smoothly through the tributaries in their territory. In this way, we can bypass many obstacles and reach the heart of the dwarf territory."

As he spoke, a red arrow lit up, indicating that the ship was going straight through the Red Flower Gang's territory.

This route only needs to go straight through the Red Flower Gang's territory, and then turn northeast and drive about 300 kilometers, and it can go deep into the interior of the dwarf territory without any obstacles.

Huh?

How could there be such a perfect tactical buffer zone?

Su Mo couldn't help but show a touch of surprise on his face, and stretched out his hand to enlarge the map to observe.

The way of war is to be treacherous.

Strategically, we should despise the enemy, and tactically, we should pay attention to the enemy.

Thinking from the perspective of the dwarf lord, after the earthquake, such a tributary appeared in the territory, which could flow all the way from the enemy's territory that was out of control into the heart of his own territory.

If this is not a serious concern, what is it?

If this situation really happened in Tianyuan Territory, Su Mo asked himself, even if he didn't eat or sleep, he would mobilize everyone to set up checkpoints for this tributary.

Otherwise, once the enemy marches straight in, it will probably bring unimaginable consequences.

"Interesting, really interesting"

"The person who released this message last night, directly call up the real-time picture of last night for me to see."

If Tianyuan Territory didn't happen to want to attack the dwarves, if it wasn't for the barbecue last night to collect information.

Then they would not have noticed in advance that the tributary in the Red Flower Gang's territory could actually reach the heart of the dwarves.

At that time, it is very likely that when the territory's freight fleet arrives, they will learn the news from there.

As the saying goes, hearing is false and seeing is true.

By then, this message will be passed back by their own people. Even if Tianyuan Territory had no intention of fighting back against the dwarves before, it will probably be tempted to try.

Soon, Zero projected the conversation in front of the barbecue stall on the wall.

Su Mo looked at it repeatedly several times and temporarily confirmed that the person who leaked the message did not intentionally guide it, but said this message unintentionally.

"Could it be that my guess is that I have a paranoid attack?"

Su Mo pondered for a while, thinking secretly, and finally decided to plan everything according to the worst guess.

The reason why the Wan Guo Dwarves can sit firmly in the top ten of the alien races in the future ruins and have always been the most difficult opponent of Tianyuan Territory, they have been defeated repeatedly and have not perished.

It is not just the terrifying number of ethnic groups in the eyes of the outside world, sophisticated weapons, and tenacious spirit.

According to Tianyuan's top-secret documents, the real reason should be that these guys imitate and learn from humans.

They will continue to learn from failures and plug the loopholes in the fastest way.

It can be said that if this group of guys is not put to death once, the same method will immediately fail next time.

If the dwarves are really deliberately seducing the Red Flower Gang, they want to wipe out this group of troublesome mosquitoes in one fell swoop.

Or the dwarves colluded with the Red Flower Gang territory and wanted to make a big move on the Tianyuan territory.

Then this set of plans can at least help Tianyuan avoid a tragic defeat.

And if his guess is wrong, it doesn't matter, anyway, it will only take less than a week to go back and forth.

Now there are still two months before the challenge mission. If there is such a tributary, it is completely in time to complete the mission.

"Help me call Su Deben over and tell him that there is a big job coming!"
