Chapter 698 You Should Rest

The Kingdom of Shang suddenly started to fight back, and the battle between the human race and the monster race entered a turning point—at least in the east, on the battlefield of the Kingdom of Shang, it entered a turning point.

The army of the Shang Kingdom, plus the troops supported by the surrounding countries, etc., exceeded 30 million troops, and the troops marched forward in two ways. Two aerospace aircraft carriers escorted at high altitude.

In the face of the first big counterattack of the human race, the monster race finally made a decision after urgent discussions... a strategic shift.

To be precise:

Exchange space for time to lengthen the supply line of the Shang Kingdom;

At the same time, try to save power as much as possible, and put more power into the north and west of Yingzhou.

If you look at the map, you will find an interesting phenomenon: the Kingdom of Shang began to launch a counterattack against the Yaozu, and the border of the Kingdom of Shang continued to advance to the north. But at the same time, the Yaozu of Yingzhou is advancing to the west and north, and the border is also constantly extending.

The Kingdom of Shang adopted extermination measures, basically killing and burning all the monster races. The corpses of the Yaozu will not be spared. Bone meal made from the bones of monsters above the Golden Core stage has become the most popular 'brewed drink' in the Shang Kingdom. The most essential bone meal is completely supplied to the school.

The teeth, claws and other special parts of some monsters are all exported in batches, and sold to various countries of the human race along with the caravan.

But again, on the battlefields in the north and west, the Yaozu also used cruel killing methods against the human race.

In the final analysis, this is a war between two completely different races vying for living space. There is no mercy in this war. There is only - survive!

In the blink of an eye, it was a month, and the more than 30 million troops of the Shang Kingdom's Northern Expedition had already paid nearly 10 million casualties. All the factories in the Shang Kingdom were working overtime, and there was no time to rest.

In order to provide sufficient ammunition for the front line, the Kingdom of Shang opened many, many gunpowder factories. Anyway, gunpowder technology has long been exposed, so there is no issue of confidentiality.

After so much effort, what we got was more than 30,000 kilometers of land. The parts of Wuya Mountain, Baihu Mountain, and Wanchuan Mountain that once belonged to the Yaozu have all become the territory of the Shang Kingdom.

As for the residual ore of Yuanci, it is even more in the pocket of the Shang Kingdom. The Yaozu suffered tens of millions of casualties in the Yuanci Residual Mine, but they still failed to hold on.

As night fell, Li Xian and Ling Zhifeng stood on the Temple of Heaven, looking at the sky. With Ling Zhifeng's blessing, Li Xian could see the evil spirit rolling high in the sky. During the several months of the war, the evil spirit over Yingzhou increased by more than ten times. The strong evil spirit has already had a serious impact on the people.

"Without the protection of the array, it is impossible to enter the state of meditation and practice." Ling Zhifeng sighed for the first time, "King Xian, the evil spirit has reached the critical point. Next, I am afraid that the situation will be difficult to control."

Li Xian nodded silently, and after a short pause, he said, "Is there any way to protect some parts of the Shang Kingdom to isolate the influence of evil spirits, so that the people here can maintain normality and rationality. In this troubled world, loss of sanity is a sign of death."

"It's already being done." Ling Zhifeng turned on the computer beside him, "You see, my lord, our transportation, water conservancy, and urban arrangement are completely arranged in formations. There are still about 2,000 kilometers of railways that are not connected. Wait for this paragraph With the railway running through, the entire Shang Kingdom will be shrouded in the protection of formations.

Well, it was the territory of the Shang Kingdom in the past. Does not include the newly added land in the north now. "

"Very good!" Li Xian was overjoyed, looked at Ye Kun who was listening carefully, and suddenly smiled, "Ye Kun, you did a good job. Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Kun immediately became excited: "Thank you, King Xian, for your praise. But this is what I should do, and this is also my dream. Now, I am planning a brand new palace. The center of mountains and rivers."

Um? Li Xian looked at Ling Zhifeng.

Ling Zhifeng smiled embarrassedly, "Well, it was Xu Ren, Li Yuanming, Yan Ze'an, Fang Shijing and others who found me and asked me to design the palace. I originally wanted to inform King Xian after the design was successful.

This kid is not strict with his mouth, I will deduct a thousand years from his salary. "

"What, what, what~~~" Ye Kun was so frightened that he wanted to fly, he couldn't be so ruthless, for a thousand years, wouldn't he be deducted from Ascension?

After hearing this, Li Xian smiled helplessly, "Forget it, the current City Lord's Mansion really can't meet the needs of governing the country. Please show me the plan after you finish it."

"Okay, okay." Ling Zhifeng sent Li Xian away with a proud face.

…………

In the middle of Yingzhou, Zhao State. Emperor Zhao's mood has become more and more irritable for a while. In fact, not only the emperor, but even the civil and military officials became more and more irritable.

The influence of evil spirit is like chronic poisoning, and you can't extricate yourself unconsciously. Moreover, it is not self-conscious; everyone has the same emotion and there is no reference, which is even more difficult to detect.

The influence of the evil spirit, coupled with the support of the Kingdom of Shang, made Zhao Guo stronger and stronger. Something called "crazy ambition" began to grow in the hearts of Zhao Guojun and his subjects.

Once ambition is created, it cannot be eliminated, and it will expand rapidly, burning people's reason like wildfire. It's a good thing to have ambition, but if you can't control it, or be controlled by it in reverse, that's a huge bad thing!

At this time, Zhao Guo can be said to be ambitious and capable. In this state, the evil spirit is like sulfuric acid, corroding the last line of defense of Zhao Guojun's psychology.

The emperor of Zhao State was aloof, looking down on all civil and military officials.

"Zhongshu Ling Ji Buxian, how are the materials prepared?"

"Your Majesty, I haven't... fully prepared. It is estimated that it will take at least half a year to fully prepare. The parts and components transported by air from the Kingdom of Shang have not yet been assembled, and the workers have not yet completed the training..."

"You're lying!" Before Ji Buxian finished speaking, Shangshu Liang Fangwei stood up with a very fierce tone: "Your Majesty, I went to see it the day before yesterday. The factory has been fully established and the workers have begun to work. The technicians of the Kingdom of Shang have already started working." retreat.

Today, the factory can produce one million bullets and 30,000 shells per day; it is expected to reach ten million bullets and one million shells per day in two months.

The rear of the factory is directly connected to the oil production area, so there is no need to worry about energy shortage. The surrounding supporting mineral resources factories, etc., have been completely completed at the end of last month. "

Emperor Zhao was furious when he heard the words, "Ji Buxian, you dare to deceive the king!"

Ji Buxian was very calm: "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. The factory has been installed, but we have not fully grasped the technology. Once something goes wrong in the factory, it will have unimaginable impact.

Workers are still unable to use the machine tools sent from the Kingdom of Shang. For the time being, we are still unable to be self-sufficient in mid-to-high-end technologies. We rely entirely on blood transfusions from Shang Kingdom for almost all mid-level technologies and all high-level technologies.

This situation is dangerous, so I believe that we should not start a war now. We should wait for a while and let Shang Kingdom help us train some senior engineers. "

But it was Feng Jinglong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, who also came out to speak: "Your Majesty, although what Zhongshu Ling said is reasonable, it is too conservative and will delay the opportunity of the war.

From my point of view, we can hire engineers from Shang Kingdom to participate in production, and let Shang Kingdom train our personnel. So when the two are not wrong! "

This is a good idea. Emperor Zhao was moved.

When Ji Buxian saw that the emperor seemed to be moved, he immediately shouted: "Your Majesty can't do it. Soldiers, the major affairs of the country are actually the place of life and death, the way of survival, and must be investigated.

Without complete preparations, you must never use weapons rashly, otherwise the country will be caught in a life-and-death dilemma! "

Ji Buxian's words seem to make sense. Emperor Zhao hesitated again. Seeing this, Ji Buxian calmed down a lot. Because he had been a diplomatic mission to the Kingdom of Shang, and because he had accepted the ideas of the Kingdom of Shang. The most important thing is that Ji Buxian won the Spark Award for "traveling thousands of miles just for the country", and gained a ray of merit. Therefore, Ji Buxian is the most sensible person in Zhao Guo now.

But at this moment, Dong Taihe, Zhao Guo's left chancellor, stood up, "Your Majesty, what the Zhongshu Ling said makes sense, but it is only one-sided 'taking history as a mirror' instead of combining reality.

The current situation is: in the middle of Yingzhou, the Zhao Kingdom is the strongest, but the surrounding countries have not yet received substantial support from the Shang Kingdom.

We can't wait until other countries get the support of the Shang Kingdom before sending troops. At that time, it will be too late! These countries must be wiped out before the Kingdom of Shang supports them!

Zhong Shuling, what we are fighting for now is this time window, to complete the military expansion before the next move of the Kingdom of Shang! "

Is what Dong Taihe said makes sense? It makes so much sense! Everyone knows what the Kingdom of Shang looks like—recognize money but not people! As long as other countries give the Kingdom of Shang enough benefits, the Kingdom of Shang will definitely help other countries to establish an industrial foundation as soon as possible.

And this is the current situation in Yingzhou, which is completely different from the past.

Ji Buxian opened his mouth, suddenly he had no way to refute.

The Emperor Zhao was finally persuaded by the war faction—in fact, Ji Buxian was the only "peace faction" in Zhao's court, and the rest were in favor of war even if they were not the war faction.

We have paid so much, and finally obtained a relatively complete industrial foundation from the Kingdom of Shang. I am really sorry for myself if I don’t use it!

Ji Buxian saluted and was about to return to the queue.

But at this time, Emperor Zhao suddenly said: "Ji Buxian, you have worked hard recently. You have contacted the Shang Kingdom and established the Lingxiao Group, but you never rest. I can't bear it, and I will grant you a vacation.

You take a year off first. A year later, see me in the imperial study. "

Kacha... It was as if a bolt of lightning had pierced Ji Buxian's heart in an instant, making Ji Buxian start to be in a trance. why why why! ! !

Ji Buxian left the hall in a trance, the world seemed to become unreal, and the surroundings seemed to be full of ridicule.

Is it a year from now?
