Chapter 120 Shocking Change
After handling the work in the guild, I came to the liaison office agreed by the Indian guild. This so-called liaison office is actually a conference hall, which is said to be a place set up by guilds in India to handle disputes between parties. But speaking of which, I was really surprised to see such a place exist. You must know that "Zero" is a game mainly based on combat. Although there are various entertainment methods to cater to the preferences of different groups of people, overall it is still a fighting game, especially for interest groups such as guilds. Said that all kinds of conflicts are certainly inevitable. However, although there are conflicts in "Zero", there are no courts and peacekeeping forces. Therefore, in most cases, interest groups speak with strength, unless the guild is large enough and has enough think tank personnel. I will occasionally consider negotiation and other methods. However, in India, what is unexpected is that guild wars rarely break out between their player guilds. Disputes are usually resolved through this coordination method, which is simply unimaginable in other countries. However, if you think about the Indian-invented Buddhism of cutting meat to feed eagles and the non-violent non-cooperation movement in history, you can roughly understand this behavior of Indians.
"Is anyone here?" I originally thought that the arbitration office between guilds should at least be protected by basic force. Who knew that when I found the place, I found that there were no people standing guard here at all. Within the four wide open doors It's just a huge conference room. If it weren't for a circle of tables and a lot of stationery in the center, it could be used as a small colosseum. My shouts did not receive any response except for a burst of echo in the vagina. In desperation, I had no choice but to shout a few more times, but the result was still the same. "What the hell, are those Asan guys playing tricks on me? What the hell is this liaison office? Why don't you even have a personal hair?" After helplessly walking around the hall twice, I still didn't see anyone breathing. I couldn't help it. I had to summon a large number of Qilin warriors and let them go around looking for people. After waiting for a long time, all the Qilin warriors reported that there was no one in the building. "Holy crap, are they really playing tricks on me?" After thinking about it, I still felt something was wrong. The completion of the agreement between me and the Indians is a transaction, just like a normal business agreement. It doesn't make sense for the other party to leave you a fake bank account number after shipping the goods so that you can't remit the money, right? Indians are just not very interested in war. There is absolutely nothing wrong with their IQ. They would never do such a stupid thing! After thinking about it, I took back the Qilin Warrior and exited the building, and then came to a building on the opposite side. The building opposite the arbitration conference hall is an auction house. There are two NPC guards standing at the door. It looks more majestic than the arbitration hall opposite, which makes me feel even more awkward. Imagine you go to the city government building and find it empty, only to find two guards standing outside a newspaper hall at the entrance of the city government. How does that feel? However, even though I felt awkward, I still approached him and asked. "Let me ask you something."
"You ask. You ask." My deterrence attribute is very effective against non-hostile NPCs. When the two unsmiling NPC guards saw me, they were like a mouse seeing a cat. Their legs were still shaking when they spoke. .
"I want to know why there is no one in the building opposite?"
"That building has always been unoccupied!" One of the guards replied with some uncertainty, but he quickly added: "By the way, there is a magic circle in the center of the arbitration conference hall. If something happens, you can stand there. On it, you can then talk to the specialized personnel established in each guild."
"Oh, that's it. Thank you very much."
It was only after the NPC's explanation that I figured it out. It turns out that this place is usually empty. People only come to hold meetings when there are matters that need arbitration. Usually there is only one NPC responsible for cleaning who comes every now and then. Originally, it was amazing that the Indians could create such an arbitration conference, but I didn’t expect that it is not a permanent institution. The cultural difference between Indians and us Chinese is really big. What seems very reasonable to them is not mine. It seems like a fantasy!
I returned to the conference hall and found the magic circle surrounded by a circle of tables, and then I stood directly on it. The activation method of this magic circle is automatic induction. As long as someone stands on it, it will activate without any operation at all. I only felt the surroundings suddenly light up, and then there was a circle of people around me. Of course, I could clearly feel that these were just projections.
"Purple Sun?" I didn't recognize anyone in the circle of people who appeared, and I was certain that none of them were guild presidents. Fortunately, most of these people knew me.
"I have reached an agreement with your Indian Guild Alliance before, and now I have come to fulfill my obligations, but why is there no one in this liaison office?"
"Oh, I know that agreement." One of them said: "This liaison office will only be staffed when it is useful. It is usually empty. Regarding the agreement you reached before, because it was a secret agreement, no one who knows it can know it." More. Our president has said hello to me. If you show up, we will contact our respective presidents. Please wait for a while. I will call our president right away."
After the man finished speaking, his figure dimmed. Others also went to find the president of their guild for the same reason, but I experienced an extremely long wait. These people said they were looking for their president, but they left me there for more than half an hour before everyone came. I was so angry that I almost lost my temper.
After finally waiting for those figures to light up one by one, one of the people who had participated in the war talks came out and said: "Hello, Ziri. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"Anyway, I have promised you, and it will be dealt with sooner or later. Let's finish it quickly while there is nothing else at hand. Okay, what should I do now? Can you show me your attack plan?"
"This..." When I asked about the attack plan, those people's expressions darkened. Finally, the guy who spoke before said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, we haven't even planned that plan yet!"
"What? No plan?"
"This... the main reason is that there is something wrong with the distribution of benefits in the partition of Bangladesh. We have only recently negotiated it. In addition, we have rarely had such large-scale combat experience before, so we don't know how to plan. In fact, To tell you something embarrassing about the actual situation, we didn’t make a plan for any of the wars we fought before.”
"No plan?" I originally wanted to question the presidents of these Indian guilds, but then I thought of a situation. I had entered India before in order to search for Chinese national artifacts. At that time, I was chased by people from major Indian guilds and ran all the way back to China. At that time, I did not seem to see any Indian organizations or strategies. This shows that India This is how people fight. They never make plans. "Okay! Since you don't have a plan, how are you going to fight this time? Just use the strength of the whole country to rush into Bangladesh in one fell swoop?"
"Is there any other way?" The president's question left me speechless, not because there was really no other way, but because his words were so shocking!
"Forget it, it seems that you are not very anxious about invading Bangladesh, so I think it's better to postpone it for a few days."
"But……!"
Before the other person finished speaking, I raised my hand to stop him from continuing. "You don't need to make plans. Just give me statistics and tell me how many combat and auxiliary personnel you can mobilize, as well as the approximate combat effectiveness and special abilities of these people. Finally, give me a table of your material status. Wait for this. Once the things are ready, just send someone to Contract City and hand them over to the people in our guild. Our guild will be responsible for formulating the battle plan for you, and then you can just follow the plan."
"Oh, that would be great. We will compile the statistics as soon as possible."
Regarding the efficiency of working with Indian players, I can only make this decision helplessly. Anyway, the matter belongs to them. I won’t get a penny of benefits from conquering Bengal. They are not even anxious. How can I be so anxious? After returning to China depressedly, because I had nothing to do for the time being, I went to the research institute to see the situation of the ores. After refining, all the metals I brought back have been decomposed into various elements. At this moment, people from the institute are experimenting with the best mix ratio to finally decide what kind of metal to produce. Of course, this matter will not happen in a day or two. It can produce results. Metal experiments in reality require years or even decades of repeated testing to gradually improve the performance of the metal. Although the speed in the game is much faster than in reality, it is impossible to take it out in a few hours. The results are coming. Fortunately, our guild's research institute has an exaggerated attribute bonus for research speed, and the results can be seen in four or five days at most.
The results of the research institute somewhat diluted the unhappiness caused by the Indians to me, but this good mood did not last long before it was destroyed by the Japanese again.
"What happened?" Not long after I walked out of the research institute, I received a notice from the God of War asking me to go to the port. When I arrived at the port, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. I saw several large warships parked crookedly on the water in Essinger's inner harbor, but all of these warships were beyond recognition. The entire superstructure of the worst ship was almost missing. I don't know what they did. Bring it back!
"Boss, it's my fault this time, I was too negligent!" King Chuang lowered his head and admitted his mistake in front of me, but seeing his look like that, I didn't know what to scold him, so after thinking about it, I decided to deal with the matter. important.
"Let me tell you what happened first, and who are these ships? I can tell that they are the Bi Ling class and the Eternal class, but they were all blown up like this and I can't tell who is who! What happened to you? What happened? How could it happen like this?"
"Yes!" King Chuang took me to the dock and pointed to a nearby warship that was tilting at an angle of 45 degrees to the sea. "This is the Thor."
"Thor? What about that one over there?" I always thought that the warship next to me with four big holes for carriages on the side was the Thor, but I didn't expect that the warship in front of me was missing half of the island bridge. It's actually the Thor.
King Chuang saw the battleship I was pointing to and said, "That's the Flash, and the one next to it is the Eternity."
The several large holes in the Flash looked shocking, and the Eternal next to it was not much better. The entire bow of the ship had been completely blown away. I don't know how they drove it back. As for the remaining two larger ships, they should be Biling-class battleships, but one of them only has a hull left, and the part above the deck height has completely disappeared, while the superstructure of the other ship is completely gone. It's still there, but it has turned into a pile of scrap metal and is unrecognizable at all. Compared with this ship, which has no superstructure at all, there is a large hole in its waterline, making it look even worse than this ship.
"Which two ships are those?"
"The one with the superstructure completely flattened is the Tyrant, and the other one is the Poseidon."
"What about the Storm?" After hearing the names of these two Biling-class ships, I immediately nervously asked about the situation of the third Biling-class battleship. "Could it have been sunk?"
"No." King Chuang quickly shook his head in denial. "The Storm was not in the fleet at the time and was not attacked at all."
"Oh, I thought they were sunk!" I looked at the five severely damaged ships and asked, "Why do you only see these five ships? Are there no other ships injured or are they all sunk?"
King Chuang knew I would get angry, but the fact forced him to bite the bullet and reply: "They were all sunk!"
"Specific losses?"
"Three ordinary battleships, eight battle cruisers, one heavy cruiser, and three destroyers were lost. The other battleships are all fine, but they all moved to the open sea and did not dare to come back."
"Why?"
"Because the Japanese have mastered a new type of weapon." Another player next to Chuang Wang said: "President. I really don't blame Chuang Wang this time. Did we not expect that the Japanese's new artillery shells are so powerful? The attack completely destroyed one of our destroyers. At that time, Chuang Wang realized that something was wrong and sent several destroyers up to entangle the enemy and let other ships escape. However, it was later discovered that the tonnage of the destroyers was too small and they could not withstand even one shot. We couldn't hold back, so we could only let the destroyers retreat quickly, but the enemy was too fast, so we had no choice but to keep the slowest large battleships in our fleet. However, the Biling-class and Eternal-class are equipped with special propulsion The weapon was much faster than other large warships, so I escaped. Unfortunately, the Japanese warships used mosquito tactics this time. Their ships were all small warships a little larger, and there was only one small cannon on the entire ship. There is not even a command tower, but the speed is super fast. Our battleship group was chased by these little bean sprouts all the way. Although our cannons hit them one by one, they launched a 'suicide' attack without any care, so That’s why we caused such heavy losses!”
I nodded to show that I understood. If things are really as this member said, then Chuang Wang can't really be blamed. The decision to retreat immediately when the enemy fleet discovered something was wrong was not wrong. As for the subsequent situation, it was entirely due to the characteristics of the Japanese warships, and I roughly understood the situation at that time.
I intercepted the Japanese magic crystal steam bomb a long time ago, and my subsequent investigation in Japan also showed that the Japanese were indeed jointly researching magic crystal steam bomb technology with the Russians. As for today's situation, it is obvious that Japan The result of people applying magic crystal steam bomb technology. What I don't quite understand is that the Japanese production factory should have been destroyed by me. Even if they want to rebuild it, it shouldn't be so fast? However, although I don't know how the Japanese rebuilt the magic crystal steam bomb production factory in such a short period of time, I roughly understand the situation of this attack. Because the power of magic crystal steam bombs is not directly proportional to its size, even very small warships can easily destroy large warships using shells made from the principle of magic crystal steam. That is why the Japanese produced that small cannon with only one. A small battleship that is extremely fast. The Japanese know that our warships have amazing firepower, and large warships will be sunk by us if they cannot get close to them. Because of the power of magic crystal steam shells, battleships do not need too many cannons, nor do they need to be too big. On the contrary, the saved space can be used to load all power units. This is why the Japanese battleships are super fast but only have one cannon. .
Now that I understand the reason, I don’t want to be too harsh on King Chuang. After all, he is the commander-in-chief of the navy of our guild. He is most distressed by the loss of the fleet. If the loss can be avoided, he will definitely make every effort to avoid the loss. of. The reason why the losses were so huge this time was entirely due to the encounter with advanced weapons and had nothing to do with King Chuang's command.
Thinking of this, I patted King Chuang on the shoulder. "Okay. Don't be sad. It's not your fault this time, but the Japanese are too cunning. There is nothing wrong with your command. The lost battleships can be rebuilt. Anyway, we are not short of money now, and our guild has not had any battleships for a long time. Updated, just in time for a big change.”
Although I said words of comfort to King Chuang, I actually felt uncomfortable in my heart. It is true that lost battleships can be rebuilt, but that costs money, so there is no point in not feeling sorry for them! However, compared to the cost of rebuilding the battleship, I am more worried about the situation on the Japanese side. In fact, the Japanese already have magic crystal steam bombs. The reason why they have been holding back is to find an opportunity to make full use of the power of the magic crystal steam bombs to defeat us in one fell swoop and achieve greater results. Now that our guild has The fleet was attacked by magic crystal steam bombs, but what about other places?
I suddenly reacted and quickly called the military god. "God of War."
"Listen."
"Inform our guild and all alliance forces in Japan to enter the first-level red alert state. Tell them that the Japanese have obtained a powerful offensive weapon. Never rely on the city to fight a defensive war with the Japanese. Try to Confront them head-on in the wild.”
"clear."
The power of the magic crystal steam bomb is too great, so it is better for the personnel. At worst, they should spread out a little. As long as they don't get together, the losses will not be too heavy. On the contrary, the city is the real weakness. In the past, it was indeed possible to gain a lot of advantages by relying on complete city defense facilities, but at this moment, it is better to go out to fight in the field to defend the city, otherwise you will not know how to die if you are buried alive!
After having the God of War issue the order, I secretly prayed in my heart: "We must catch up with this order!"
