Chapter 1888 Before the War

Selena, Demi, and Harley gathered in Kadlan City, which took half a day, leaving Jin Xiantai and his team to build a defensive position, which only took a day and a half.

If humans were still at the level of the past, perhaps a day and a half would definitely not be enough, but now a day and a half is definitely enough for Jin Xiantai.

Various materials are ready-made. The AI ​​robot brought a lot of metal plates. These metal plates are made through special processes and materials. The hardness is very high. In addition, there are many ready-made materials in the collapsed building ruins around, so these things are easily collected and used. Combined with the engineering machinery in Jin Xiantai's hands, it took about half a day to build a solid defensive position.

The entire defensive position has three floors, which are circular in shape, with towers and turrets, as well as rapid-fire energy machine gun emplacements. Jin Xiantai is confident that with this position, he can block the octopus army that is about to arrive and show their quality.

The captured octopus people were all shot and imprisoned in the innermost layer of the center of the position, and more than 500 Zaku mechas were sent to guard them. As long as there were Zaku mechas, these guys could not make any waves at all.

The Zaku mechas that were more than 20 meters high were like demons to these octopus people. They were scared to shiver all over at a glance.

After all, they were octopus people who had personally experienced the killing of Zaku mechas, and they were different from those octopus people who had not seen these things. It was precisely because they had seen them that they would be very honest.

Some of the captives were also summoned by Jin Xiantai to use a small shuttle to transport a few back to the spacecraft for those scientists to do live experiments.

It’s not that Jin Xiantai was cold-blooded and cruel. In fact, these octopus people were not only enemies to humans, but also no different from mice.

Let alone intelligent life. Since they have become enemies and conflicts have broken out, from the perspective of humans, there is nothing wrong with Jin Xiantai’s actions.

More importantly, scientists can use various experiments to see what kind of life the octopus people are and what their weaknesses are...

Since they killed the human messenger and ate him alive, the octopus civilization must pay the price for their actions.

In the city of Kadlanlan, the surviving citizens have all fled here. Considering that the octopus army is about to arrive, Jin Xiantai did not let the Zaku infantry continue to sweep the city and search for the survivors.

Time passed little by little.

Except for Jin Xiantai, all the human members who landed and gathered here did not show how nervous they were. It seems that only Jin Xiantai has a little worry.

No way, as a commander, the burden on his shoulders is a bit heavy, and Jin Xiantai is destined to not be as relaxed as others.

As a position, this place is definitely not as comfortable as on the spaceship, but Jin Xiantai is not picky. He just found a relatively quick place and set up a tent to set up his own command post.

In the center of the tent, there is a holographic projection three-dimensional virtual strategic sand table. This thing can directly project and simulate the current marching situation of the octopus people, as well as the geographical location and environment of their marching route.

In other words, with this sand table, Jin Xiantai can easily grasp the marching information of the other party, as well as the detailed intelligence of the holographic projection after the miniaturization.

Selena, Demi, Harley, and another officer are all around this sand table at this moment. Everyone is looking at the real-time situation of the octopus army projected on the sand table very seriously.

The projected three-dimensional lines construct the geographical environment of an area. It can be seen that an octopus army of about 300,000 is passing through a valley bottom in the northeastern suburb of Kadlanlancheng, steadily advancing towards the outskirts of Kadlanlancheng.

Because according to the sand table, the lines of Kadlanlancheng's outer buildings appeared not far away.

"They are marching very fast. It seems that we will have to exchange fire with them soon."

Harley spoke first.

Then Selina leaned forward slightly, staring at the three-dimensional strategic projection image in front of her and said, "Whether they engage in fire or not is not the key. What I care about is whether they have any special weapons and equipment in their hands."

Basically, Selina's focus is the same as Kim Hyun-tae's.

She also has some concerns about this.

It seems that the octopus civilization is much behind the technological level mastered by humans, but who can guarantee that the octopus civilization does not have weapons and equipment that humans have never seen?

The universe is so big, there are so many civilizations, and they are all so strange. This matter is really hard to say.

Demi took over the conversation thoughtfully: "Selina is right, and Commander William also has great concerns about this aspect, so I think we can't just wait to be beaten passively. We should take the initiative to attack and test first to see what level of weapons and equipment they have."

Although Demi is still young, she has undergone special training at West Point Military Academy after all, and has begun to slowly show some talents in military operations. For example, the suggestions she is making now are very good.

Rather than passively waiting like this, it is better to take the initiative to test it out.

At the same time, by taking the initiative to attack, you can also test out more intelligence information.

At the moment, for Jin Xiantai and his men, the intelligence they have is too little. If there is enough intelligence information, they will have nothing to worry about.

Jin Xiantai, who had been silent, glanced at Demi and showed an expression of approval on his face.

Seeing this, Demi was a little excited. After all, her suggestion was recognized, which was a great encouragement for the girl.

"Demi's suggestion is good. We should not wait passively like this. We should take the initiative to go to Stan. Whether it is to try whether the opponent's weapons and equipment can threaten our Zaku mecha, or to see if they really have weapons that we don't know about, this is very necessary."

"Commander, leave this to me."

Since Jin Xiantai agreed with Demi's suggestion, if he wanted to send a team to attack the octopus troops, he must send out a Zaku mecha infantry.

There are so many people present, and all the senior commanders are here.

Obviously, the people who will attack will be selected from these people.

Therefore, as an Italian officer, whether it was out of hatred for the octopus man or revenge for his companions, the Italian named Zodini had to stand up and ask for battle.

"Sir, please let me lead the Italian Zaku Mecha Infantry Squadron to fight. I promise to complete this mission."

After Zodini spoke, although the others were also interested, they did not speak.

Now, everyone is waiting for Kim Hyun-tae's decision.

After thinking about it, Kim Hyun-tae nodded to Zodini.

"Okay, it's you. Set off now. While fighting, you also have to take pictures of the actual situation of the battle. This is very important."

Snap!

Standing at attention and saluting, Zodini responded to Kim Hyun-tae in a resounding voice: "I promise to complete the mission!"

Zodini turned and left, and the atmosphere in the tent became much more relaxed.

For the time being, this is all that is revealed on the sand table. For more detailed intelligence information, it is necessary to contact the very side.

The defensive position has been built, and Zuo Dini has been sent out to conduct surprise exploration. For the time being, Jin Xiantai and his team really have nothing to do, but they can't just sit there like this.

So, Jin Xiantai found a topic.

"I have contacted Washington and reported my plan to turn these octopus people into slaves after conquering the octopus civilization. Washington responded that there are many capital forces that are seeking mining rights for the No. 1 mineral planet and are very interested, but they are not sure whether these octopus people can do it and how to calculate their price. So for the time being, there is no conclusion on this matter, but I promise that as long as this matter succeeds, all of us can benefit a lot."

As soon as these words came out, the tent, which had been a little deserted, suddenly became a lot hotter.

After all, this matter involves the interests of everyone, and this interest was brought back by Jin Xiantai.

Originally, everyone thought that venturing out of the earth and carrying out space exploration missions for all manpower was just a dead salary and subsidies, but unexpectedly, Jin Xiantai opened up a way to make money for everyone.

That is to conquer the low-level civilized races discovered, turn them into slaves and sell them to the capitalists on Earth.

If this thing can really be done, then everyone will make a lot of money.

Therefore, these people can't help but be excited.

"Washington will take 50% of the profits, and the remaining 50% can only be given to us, and we have to pay taxes on the money we make. Please don't forget this, otherwise, the crime of not paying taxes will be deducted, and no one can stand it."

Jin Xiantai made a small joke and revealed a little information at the same time.

This thing can be done, but Washington will take 50% of the profits. This is the money collected on behalf of the official, which means that after collecting the money, Jin Xiantai and his team have a legal cover. If someone criticizes them for this, Washington will stand up to endorse them.

Seeing everyone's excitement, Jin Xiantai smiled and continued: "Although those people don't know how to set the price yet, I dare say it will not be less than 100 credit points, and you just need to think about the population of these octopus people, then you can calculate how much money we can make in this way."

One of the American officers smiled and continued: "Wow! Doesn't that mean that for the sake of our wallets, we should try not to kill too many octopus people next time."

Jin Xiantai put away the smile on his face, looked at the American officer seriously and said: "Don't have such an idea, absolutely not, there are a lot of these guys, just kill them freely, I don't want you to have any accidents on the battlefield because of this kind of thing, I hope everyone will return to Earth intact and return to your family."

The American officer was just joking.

Now everyone's expression was stern when they heard what Jin Xiantai said.

Yes, Jin Xiantai is right.

In terms of money and one's own life safety, one's own life safety is definitely more important.

If someone thinks that killing an octopus man will earn less credit points, and lets go of some opponents who have already been killed, and then unexpected situations occur, it will be bad.

In order to avoid such a situation, Jin Xiantai reminded everyone so seriously. As for Jin Xiantai's reminder, anyone who is not an idiot can hear that it is well-intentioned.

Selina glanced at everyone and said, "What William said is right. There are a lot of octopus people. Even if we eliminate half of them in the future, the remaining ones will be enough for Smashing Doors to make a lot of money. We can even sell them not only to humans, but also to other alien civilizations. Who knows, the price will be higher."
