Chapter 1652: Planted Seeds
War, regard courage as a crown.
Warriors, regard bravery as a virtue.
However, the losers of war are often not lacking in courage, and the victors will not regard it as the main reason. The real winners are the stronger parties, those who plan further, and the tribes with stronger war patience and awareness.
"Although the propaganda banner calls for our whole nation to fight hard and bravely form an army, this does not look like a short-term preparation. How long have you been preparing? Did it start three years ago? Or even earlier, it won't be the Nirvana Plan period."
The wooden statue, now attached with part of Liu Lao's will, responded with a smile.
"Earlier than this."
"Earlier? Twenty years ago?"
"Haha. More than fifty years ago."
Okay, you are awesome, you can hold it in.
At this moment, Lu Ping'an also realized.
From beginning to end, the Liu Lao Longyue Jun he saw had never moved. Longyue Jun had long been completely integrated with Longyue Island, and turned the island into his own body bit by bit.
"Back then, in many military chess simulations, once the East Country was hit by a disaster, Longyue Island would either be the first or the last to be destroyed."
The seemingly contradictory words made Lu Ping'an stunned. After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the truth.
The reason is quite direct. It is the southernmost island isolated overseas. Whether it is the "first" or the "last" depends mainly on which direction the disaster comes from.
If it is not the first to be attacked, it is very likely to become the last bastion for mortals to escape, so it is naturally the last one.
".Don't blame the Ministry of National Defense for not telling you. They don't distrust you. In fact, the minister and the generals knew it half a month ago. This is a part of the Nine Star Plan left over from the founding period. The follow-up belongs to the Longtan Plan. Only some old guys are waiting to be awakened."
Well, you are not the only one.
Looking at the earthquakes and mountains in front of him, as well as the storms and waves that were gradually calmed down by the top extraordinary people, Lu Ping'an also understood the difficulties of mortals.
Because mortals are mortals, they are born weak, so they must seize every opportunity and prepare in advance.
"Is it worth it?"
In the end, Lu Ping'an couldn't help but ask such a question.
It goes without saying how strong and difficult it is to become a quasi-god in the life system. The top gardeners who have refined their spiritual power are also the rarest in the life system. Old Liu, who can reach this point, can even split himself into a god. He has long been destined to become a true immortal.
However, in order to completely change the existence of this island and turn them from ordinary rocks into the "flesh and blood" of "living things", he needs to constantly integrate himself into it.
Integration is not just one level. That kind of "unity of man and nature" is reversible. Directly integrating spiritual power with stone is equivalent to turning into a stone statue.
He gave up everything of the ninth-level (spiritual power) quasi-god, and turned from a "disembodied evolutionary spirit" into a "real big stone".
No matter how long the rock has vitality, it will still weather and corrode. Every loss is equivalent to cutting flesh on his body, which is equivalent to stripping off a part of him.
Even if he didn't die in battle and was sunk, and his entire soul was diluted in this island, he was destined to be scattered and return to the earth with dust.
Hearing this, the old man smiled.
"It doesn't matter whether it's worth it or not, someone has to do it, why not me."
Lu Ping'an sighed and didn't say much. He probably couldn't catch up with the awareness of the older generation.
"Compared with my peers, I have lived too long, too long, but you are still very young and shouldn't be here."
The change of topic made Lu Ping'an frown.
He knew that the old guy was looking for him at this time, not for good reasons.
"Do you have enough troops?"
"Enough, even far more than the expected number of soldiers that can stay."
The implication is that you should get out as soon as possible.
At this time, some things are naturally revealed.
If it is just a "ship", it is not very meaningful, and the deployment of sufficient troops is not only too difficult, but it will definitely arouse the enemy's vigilance.
Obviously, this time it was a surprise attack, and only when the opponent is completely unprepared can this card be used to the extreme.
The strategic goals are divided into several levels, the lowest is to support the Mountain Country, and the highest is to fight Australia. Isn't this just to fight as far as you can?
As the southernmost fortress area of the East Country, Longyue Island is watched by God knows how many spies and spies are watching. Not to mention large-scale troop transport, large-scale cargo transport will cause stress reactions from the other side, especially at the sensitive time point now.
However, there is a kind of existence, which is itself a legion or even the war itself.
"Have they all agreed?"
"No one is planning to leave. We originally expected that seven quasi-gods would be enough, but now in fact, there are fifteen life-system quasi-gods. Now we need to worry about the dispatch of rations."
Among all the quasi-gods, the life-system quasi-gods are also the most special. Those doctors, gardeners, and animal trainers have never been famous for their individual strength (except for big cats). They all rely on their own research results to fight, that is, their respective "legions".
It can be said that every high-level life system may become the war itself at any time, not to mention the pinnacle of the life system - the life quasi-gods.
Lack of troops? Isn't it enough to borrow the portable troops of a few "traveling" life-system quasi-gods? Apart from anything else, if Lu Ping'an now opens the courtyard and takes out the permanent combat forces and the temporary residents who are still practicing (trading), he can start a war.
Lu Pingan estimated that this was indeed the case. He had fought against an old-fashioned life-system legion of the eighth order in the past, but the number and quality were too outrageous, and now there were double-digit ninth-order quasi-gods here.
The fleet and soldiers of the military region, the permanent forces on Longyue Island, and the accompanying legions of these life-system quasi-gods were indeed enough.
Lu Pingan looked around and saw that more than a dozen super-giant sea beasts had appeared in the surrounding ocean without him noticing, and their weakest ones were all life reactions above the seventh-order rule level, and this attitude of ignoring the poisonous sea was obviously a special protective treatment.
In the uninhabited area of Longyue Island, those quasi-gods divided their territories and began to deploy their own legions. They may have had ideas long ago, or they may have sensed the awakening of Old Liu. This time, no one planned to withdraw.
Lu Pingan felt that he was about to be "cleared out".
On the one hand, if we only look at the number of legions, Lu Pingan's "written records" are not impressive, and in the eyes of ordinary people, these things are to wait for seniority.
On the other hand, Lu Ping'an is too important as a strategic chess piece.
It's not that he can't be used, but compared to being here and becoming one of the top ten combat forces, the risk of him as a strategic chess piece is greater than the benefit.
"Actually, I have a few cards in my hand, maybe you can use them."
Lu Ping'an did not try to persuade the other party with words like "war friendship" and "I should charge too". As a senior decision-maker, pursuing the greatest strategic interests is responsible for everyone.
Lu Ping'an can stay by force, but that will definitely be despised, and it may even waste high-level combat power as a bodyguard.
Then, as long as he can convince himself to keep up, it will create greater strategic value than staying in the East Country.
Lu Ping'an prepared such a card.
And his card is quite effective. Just the third card made the admiral and quasi-god on the opposite side nod helplessly, and bite the bullet to report and explain to the higher-ups.
Lu Ping'an himself has a materialized courtyard and does not need to expand the domain.
He just moved into the urban area of Longyue and waited for the moment of the enemy attack.
