Chapter 425: New Year's Cannons
Liu Xinyu looked at the calendar on the wall, it was three days before the new year. But at this moment, the queen rubbed her temples, and asked Hu Yinglan beside her helplessly, "Is the news confirmed? The Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan are going to join forces to attack the Kingdom of Langya?"
"It has been confirmed. Our spies in the country of Shaoze also discovered the military transfer of the country of Shaoze. They quietly transferred the army under the cover of changing defenses, recruiting troops, and practicing.
Today, there are at least three million legions gathered in the south of the country of Shaoze. They are all elites with actual combat experience during the Unification War of the Shaoze Kingdom.
And Fang Rong, the chief think tank of Nangong Zhi, who is now the Zuo Xiang of the Kingdom of Shaoze, has quietly left the imperial capital. In the past two days, no one has seen Fang Rong appear.
There is also the country of Canglan. Recently, the three steel warships of the Canglan Kingdom are being repaired, and they have purchased a large number of shells, ballistas, and depth charges from Dayang Group.
On the land of the Land of Canglan, more than two million elites have also gathered again, and they are all elites from previous battles.
The two countries add up to at least five million elites. As for ordinary soldiers, I'm afraid it will not be less than this number by then.
This is to wipe out the kingdom of Langya in one go. "
Liu Xinyu looked at the map, and asked after a while: "How is the preparation of the Kingdom of Langya?"
"The kingdom of Langya is fully preparing for war, and the kingdoms of Southern Tang and Northern Tang in the east are also preparing for war, ready to send troops to assist."
Liu Xinyu thought for a while, "Go and call all the officials and generals above the second rank."
After a while, Wu Fanghai, Zhao Duo, Zhou Jue, Xu Jie, Ding Kui and others arrived one after another. Liu Xinyu asked Hu Yinglan to read the detailed situation, and then Liu Xinyu asked everyone how Qixia Kingdom should respond.
Zhou Jue was the first to speak: "I'm afraid this war will be very unusual. Before we unified the West, wars tended to be 'mechanized'.
The importance of soldiers in war is no longer in charging, but in manipulating weapons. Cannons, crossbow beds, formations, etc. gradually became popular.
War has gradually shown a direct tendency to kill.
Many military theories in the past have begun to fade.
I infer that the war that is about to break out will be a continuation and even development of our previous state of war.
Dayang Group's big array of sealing the sky and locking the earth, artillery technology, black iron technology, machine tool technology, etc. were all leaked. After half a year of preparation, many countries already have a preliminary industrial foundation.
The elite soldiers on both sides were armed to the teeth.
Because ordinary soldiers are well-armed, and because weapons of war are gradually replacing the magic weapons of war in the past, this will further weaken the absolute advantage of masters on the battlefield.
Therefore, in this war, there will be three war cores:
Masters, mechanized weapons of war, large armies to fight.
My lord, my conclusion is that this will be a brutal war unprecedented in history. "
Wu Fanghai disagreed: "Your Majesty, I think the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan should be able to quickly destroy the Kingdom of Langya! After all, before the news spread, the Kingdom of Shaoze and the Kingdom of Canglan had been preparing for a long time. Compared Under the circumstances, the Kingdom of Langya and the Xiaoyao faction were all preparing hastily. They didn't expect that the Kingdom of Shaoze would be so crazy.
Therefore, my conclusion is: The Kingdom of Langya will quickly fall!
But this war will inevitably lead to a direct collision between the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect. Compared with the wars between the Kingdom of Shaoze, the Kingdom of Canglan, and the Kingdom of Langya, the direct collision between the Holy Lands should be considered the most! "
Wu Fanghai deserves to be the commander-in-chief, let alone how he predicted the war of the Three Kingdoms, just saying that his overall view is not comparable to others. He directly pointed out the key behind this war.
Regardless of the final outcome of this war, just looking at the size of the legion, considering the current industrial and commercial environment and its impact, Wu Fanghai concluded that the two holy places will inevitably be dragged down in the end of this war.
Liu Xinyu sighed leisurely, and suddenly said: "I have discovered a problem, since the rise of industry and commerce, it seems... there have been wars all the time!
Tell me, this is... what's going on? "
Liu Xinyu's words instantly awakened everyone. Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and many people suddenly broke out in cold sweat behind their backs—yes, since the expansion of industrial and commercial ideas, the entire west of Fertile Land has been constantly fighting.
During the half a year that has finally subsided, there have been constant conflicts - the Qixia Kingdom, the Qingyun Kingdom, and the Taihua Kingdom are fighting openly and covertly. A kind of war called a 'trade war' is quietly going on. However, there has been no peace between the country of Langya and the country of Canglan in the south.
Now, the country of Shaoze, which has just been unified for half a year, is going to be like this again.
After a comprehensive analysis, you will find that there is a shadow behind it-industry and commerce! And the current representatives of industry and commerce are Dayang Group and Zhang Hao!
Thinking of this, many people immediately shuddered.
Finally, Zhou Jue, Zhang Hao's uncle, spoke up: "Your Majesty, I can probably explain this matter. Of course, I'm afraid I'll ask Zhang Hao for specifics.
In my opinion, business itself is right. The fault is, everyone has desires. The development of industry and commerce has made everyone see greater desires.
Compared with the development in the past, the profits of industry and commerce are tens or hundreds of times! This desire is so great that only war can bear it!
Also, the scope of our contact is also wide. It used to be just a few surrounding countries. And now we are in contact with too much.
This explanation...maybe a bit one-sided.
But in fact, industry and commerce itself is just a system, and the system itself is neither good nor bad. It only depends on the person who implements the system. "
Liu Xinyu thought for a while, then said lightly: "Maybe."
Obviously, the Queen doesn't quite accept this statement. But apart from Zhou Jue, no one came forward to explain. The queen was slightly disappointed, but finally made arrangements and arrangements.
Once the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect are finally involved in the war, the Qixia Kingdom will not be spared. Therefore, it is necessary to plan early now.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the eve of the new year, Liu Xinyu gave a public speech, which was also published in the newspaper:
In the past year, Qixia Kingdom has created epic miracles. And this miracle will continue to develop!
These words made everyone in the Qixia Kingdom cheer.
The Spring Festival came quietly, and the Qixia Kingdom was full of joy, and countless people celebrated the festive season.
Even the newly occupied area is full of cheers. The damage caused by the war was quickly washed away by the prosperous industry and commerce. Prosperity has been revealed in this country.
However, in the early hours of the new year, the coalition forces of the Land of Canglan and the Land of Shaoze bombarded the checkpoint of the Land of Langya!
Another war to destroy the country has begun.
