Chapter 1603 Migration

War is destined to become the main theme of the times.

The rescue fleet of the East Country has also changed from the initial defense mission to search and rescue and evacuation.

For efficiency, it is natural to start coastal patrols. Since the area has been broken into "archipelagos", the effect of dispersing ships will be much higher.

If it is a coastal city, it can be rescued more conveniently. If a call for help is sent through radio or satellite phone, the ship that receives the message will determine whether to send a rescue team to the inland after considering the actual situation.

In fact, the braver and wiser victims have also begun to actively approach the western coast. The risk is definitely great, but it is more hopeful than waiting for reinforcements that are unlikely to come.

If it is not a very valuable target, or a large number of refugees, there is really no need to risk high risks to attack hundreds of kilometers.

In this rescue process, the fleet of the East Country also inevitably suffered losses, but it is generally acceptable, especially since many reports have already indicated that they have actually obtained artifacts and Sakura Kingdom combat power above the rule level.

When the flood rises, the tallest ones always live the longest. Those elite fighters often have the unique inheritance of Sakurajima, and many of them have their own sects, direct lines, and families, which can be regarded as a pretty good asset.

The first refugee ship has already gone to the north. They will send it to the northern border of the East Country to become the main force of the construction of the new district and the first batch of residents.

As for Lu Ping'an, he knows that similar work has also begun in the sparsely populated western part of the East Country.

Obviously, the judgment of the East Country's senior officials and Lu Ping'an is consistent. They are sure that this is destined to be a long-term war, and the coast is destined to be unsafe.

Maybe next, there will be a larger-scale migration from the coast to the inland. Then, whether it is the new city in the north, the underground city, or the development of the west, they are all important strategies.

Lu Ping'an estimates that the west may be more important. After all, it is relatively safe there and it is also the most inland part of the East Country.

In fact, during the Anti-Japanese War, similar things happened. The coastal industries moved inland, and when the opponent was about to hit the capital, they continued to migrate.

"Well, isn't this an opportunity for the central cities? Gucheng should get this wave of benefits." Don't say it, think about it, it's really possible.

Gucheng, which is already a municipality, has quite good development space. Due to Lu Ping'an's "courtyard branch", it is destined to become an important strategic location. The garrison is full, and with its excellent shipbuilding and industrial capabilities, it is destined to become a central city.

And industry needs to be clustered. Considering the conditions of all parties, Gucheng should become the key target of the migration plan.

Next, after the country has made arrangements, a fortress defense line will be established along the coast. Now that Sakurajima has been lost in a substantial sense, there is no possibility of peace along the coast. Even if the "Great Wall" along the coast cannot be formed, a substantial unmanned isolation zone must be made.

But Lu Ping'an remembered again that once the East Country shrinks, it seems that other teammates have been sold out.

"What's worse is that this is just the beginning, the northern peninsula."

Sakurajima was lost too quickly, and the surrounding countries may suffer.

The Leighton Peninsula (Korea) is actually stronger in this era than in another timeline. Without the restraint of Citibank, the two countries have established a nominal alliance, and North Leighton, without economic sanctions, can also be called a powerful country.

But no matter how strong they are, they are no match for the Sakura Kingdom. Now that Sakurajima has fallen, they are destined to become the first line, and their fall should only be a matter of time.

The worst thing is that their peninsula is all along the coast, and they don’t know where to move.

Perhaps, consider borrowing a piece of land from Red Star. Siberia, which is sparsely populated, needs more manpower to grow potatoes, or the people of Sakurajima can meet their old neighbors again, and they can continue to love and kill each other.

"Too hellish, let's not think about it."

Lu Ping'an's reason told him that all this is extremely likely to happen.

But now, let's solve the follow-up problems of the fall of Sakurajima first.

The ships are busy, and rescue is given priority in most cases. This also means that if they encounter a large number of enemy troops or top combat forces, the East Country ships will not choose to fight hard, and the top combat forces of the East Country do not need to fight hard here.

It seems that the high-end combat power of the foreign forces such as Bazhua also lacks motivation. This is what Lu Pingan expected. Bazhua is a collection of warlords under the control of the king. Now these evil wolves are full and have completed the tasks of their masters. Naturally, they don’t want to move, let alone fight with the high-level combat power of humans in vain.

"Are you sure there is a Kusanagi sword here?"

"Not sure, but I think there is a big one."

Walking on the river, Lu Pingan carefully sensed it, but still found nothing.

This is not good news. It means that the opponent they are facing this time is quite strong and they took the initiative to block their whereabouts at a high level. There must be a special reason.

"Is there any news about their royal family?"

Lu Pingan has set his eyes on the Kusanagi sword. Since he is here, he must get the most famous one to show off.

And this thing seems to have copied many originals. It is said that it has disappeared. The replicas only have a part of the ability. It is not too strong and it is convenient for Lu Pingan to keep it privately. He should not encounter too difficult opponents.

For Lu Ping'an, what is important is actually the characteristics and rules. The slightly weaker "Zi Jian" is also completely acceptable.

And this Kusanagi sword is said to be kept by the royal family of the country.

But yesterday, the Marine Corps responsible for contacting the local royal family also lost contact, and they sent a message for help at the end.

Lu Ping'an came in person and organized the search himself. But it seems that he still found nothing.

". Wait, I found the target. Uh, it seems too late."

Lu Ping'an did not find a living person, but found the corresponding "contaminant", and then started digging a pit directly.

In a buried pit, Lu Ping'an found a "convoy" with royal marks. But there were only some corpses in it, and few dead people were intact.

"Tsk. It's cruel enough, a bit miserable."

After comparing, Lu Ping'an found most of the royal family members and bodyguards, and several of them with higher status had obviously special dead appearances.

Their bones and heads were all there, but a big hole was dug out behind their heads, and the brains and brains were gone. Just a glance, Lu Ping'an knew that their "intelligence" had probably been taken away.

In a relatively ancient country, who else would know the secrets of those ancients better than the royal family.

The other party obviously doesn't need pork chop rice and forced confession set meals, they can dig out everything directly from the brain. It seems that this means the complete end of the island royal family that has been passed down for quite a long time.

"Are they all here?"

"There are two more. Well, it should be one."

On the list, there is only one princess named "Yiko". Don't get me wrong, this princess is over 50 years old, divorced twice, but has no children, and has a very bad reputation among the people.

"Are you sure they escaped together?"

"Yes, the eldest princess seems to have had a conflict with the bodyguard."

This is a bit interesting. If the other party wants information, since they can "eat the brain", they don't have to leave a living person.

"Let me find them first."
