Chapter 296 Reasons and Methods for Being Late
After Rose said that we should arrive a little later, I was of course stunned for a moment, but I quickly came to my senses.
Neptune Palace and Rainbow Alliance are now competing for the future hegemony of the United States. In other words, whoever wins will be the boss of the United States in the future. This situation is actually somewhat similar to the original separation of the European Temple of Light, but the two methods are completely reversed. One is a merger of forces that split into two forces, and the other is a merger of two forces into one.
The difference between the two is not only that the methods are opposite, but also an important difference is that one is NPC power and the other is player power.
Although "Zero" uses an artificial intelligence matrix to completely anthropomorphize most of the NPCs, giving them an intelligence level equivalent to that of humans. However, the knowledge range of NPCs is based on the game world. Unlike modern people living in an information explosion society, the knowledge range of NPCs is relatively narrow. Therefore, our approach to the European Temple of Light is obviously unplayable for players.
What was originally used for the Temple of Light in Europe cannot be copied to the United States, which means that it is impossible to keep the Neptune Temple and the Rainbow Alliance in a state of division and then profit from it. This behavior may work in the short term, but the final result can only create an extremely powerful enemy for us. Therefore, this trick cannot be used at all.
Since the divide-and-conquer approach of the European Temple of Light cannot be reproduced here in the United States, we will ultimately have to choose one side. And support it in winning the American Civil War. We have made a judgment on this before and made a choice, which is to help the Neptune Palace and suppress the Rainbow Alliance.
This choice was not made by me alone, but a comprehensive judgment made by the think tank of the guild after a series of analyses. It can be said that this judgment can be considered correct for the time being. but. Rose's words obviously pointed out something else to me.
Although we have decided to support Neptune Palace, whether Neptune Palace or Rainbow Alliance becomes the hegemon of the United States in the future, the United States will quickly become stronger. Although the strength of players in the game is not necessarily equivalent to the national strength in reality, the relationship between the two is actually quite close. Generally speaking, a country that is relatively powerful in reality will have greater national strength in the game.
Then, when the United States is unified. with their national strength. Without internal friction, the strength of its overlord guild will inevitably expand rapidly. As a result, we will soon see a very powerful opponent emerge in the United States. This kind of thing obviously doesn't do us any good.
In addition, in addition to this future super guild problem, there is also a very simple truth, that is, adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help in the snow. The current Neptune Palace and the Rainbow Alliance are actually not determined to kill each other. Both parties want to become the hegemon, but their attitudes are not firm enough. And each has its own plan, so except for the Holy Spear Alliance, which is really trying its best, the other two families are actually not fighting seriously. In this way, the support from our guild becomes a kind of gift. There really isn't much difference.
However, Neptune Palace and Rainbow Alliance cannot continue to consume like this. Because the Holy Spear Alliance fights very hard, the battle between the Sea King Palace and the Holy Spear Alliance should not last too long. Once the Holy Spear Alliance is completely destroyed, the only thing left is to divide the legacy of the Holy Spear Alliance. Even though the current war stance between the Rainbow Alliance and the Neptune Palace is unclear, once the interests are put in front of them, both sides will definitely enter the violent mode immediately. Then there will inevitably be a fight to the death. In fact, the leaders of the two guilds are just fans of the authorities. As an outsider, I can see it very clearly.
According to this inference, the Neptune Palace and the Rainbow Alliance will soon push the civil war into a fierce stage. After that, both sides will definitely fight, and then the Neptune Palace will inevitably be gradually defeated. This is almost an inevitable outcome. After all, the Neptune Palace is not good at land warfare, and its overall strength is not as good as the Rainbow Alliance. They just fought another battle with the Holy Spear Alliance. Even now, there is only an empty shell left in the Holy Spear Alliance. But after all, it was one of the three major guilds in the United States. It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and even the Holy Spear Alliance who is almost finished is not so easy to chew. Therefore, after defeating the Holy Spear Alliance, the Neptune Palace will definitely not be able to win the battle against the Rainbow Alliance, and they will definitely suffer.
If by that time, our guild's Essinger Mobile Fortress arrives just when the Neptune Palace's troops return to the headquarters, and then helps them push back all the way, then the Neptune Palace's attitude towards us will definitely be the same as ours now. Things were clearly different in the past.
Now that we have gone over, they don't feel our importance at all. Even if we help them win the war, it is at most a transaction, and they will send us away with some favors. American players will definitely not remember how good we are and will only treat us as mercenaries. However, if we suddenly attack when the Neptune Palace is almost driven into the sea, and then reverse the situation, then this is not a mercenary, but a life-saving grace. The difference between the two is huge. Moreover, there is a joint in it. That is, if we go to the United States now, what we need to face is the Rainbow Alliance, a complete large-scale guild. Even if the Rainbow Alliance is not as powerful as our Frost Rose Alliance, it is still one of the three top guilds in the United States, and it is still the largest in terms of scale. How could such a guild not have any trump cards or trump cards? If we just charge forward, the probability of being fooled by the opponent is quite high.
But think about it the other way around. If we arrive late and see the Neptune Palace dying, will the Rainbow Alliance suffer no losses? The two are basically similar guilds. Although the Neptune Palace will definitely not be able to defeat the Rainbow Alliance, the Rainbow Alliance itself will probably be exhausted by the time the Rainbow Alliance drives the Neptune Palace back to its hometown. If we appear in the United States again under such circumstances, what we need to face is a Rainbow Alliance that is already at the end of its strength.
A Rainbow Alliance in its heyday and a Rainbow Alliance that is no longer capable of succeeding. It’s too obvious which one is easier to deal with. Therefore, there is no benefit at all in going early, it is simply making yourself unhappy.
Of course, although I understood the meaning of the rose, how to explain the journey time was still a problem.
Looking at a pair of confident roses. I said directly: "I understand the reason why you asked us to arrive late, but if we are running so slowly at this time, isn't our intention too obvious?"
"Yes, the intention is too obvious. But as long as you find a suitable reason, that's it."
"You have a reason?"
Rose nodded and said: "Esinger Mobile Fortress can be completed directly by using space jump in an instant. However, Essinger Mobile Fortress's space jump requires a large amount of magic crystal support. Everyone knows this. It does not apply to us. The jumping ability of Singer's Mobile Fortress. My reason is...the magic crystal reserve is insufficient. I dare not use it."
After Rose finished speaking, I didn't rush to refute, but thought about it first. Our Frost Rose Alliance, which has always seemed rich on the surface, suddenly complained that the magic crystal reserves were insufficient, which seemed a bit like crying for poverty. After all, it is no longer just a day or two that our Frost Rose Alliance has money. Everyone knows that we have a lot of money and a lot of magic crystal mines, so the magic crystal reserves of our guild will obviously not be too low. But, just look carefully. There are actually many articles to be done in this.
Our guild just launched a war against Russia not long ago, and also opened up a large development zone on Russian territory. The scale of this war was very large and the intensity was very high. Although it did not last long, it was very consuming. Definitely not small. After all, Essinger Mobile Fortress was deployed at that time, and super weapons were also used. Thinking about it this way, our consumption was of course very high.
After the war with Russia, our Hanghu was attacked by the US-Russian combined fleet. This process is much longer than the previous battle. Although the intensity is not very high, because it is a naval battle, the magic crystal consumption must be very high. After all, we have a large number of magic weapons here, and those flying all over the sky. Motorized Angels and single-person aircraft did not come for nothing. This all consumes magic crystals.
In two consecutive battles, it is inevitable that a large amount of magic crystals will be consumed. and. Now that the Russians are gathering forces on a large scale in the development zone, it is still uncertain how much magic crystal will be consumed in this battle. Therefore, it is completely reasonable for us to reserve more magic crystals for emergencies. Besides, we sent the Essinger Mobile Fortress out at this tense moment to help the Americans fight the civil war. If there is a battle on the Russian side and our forces cannot hold it, the Essinger Mobile Fortress will definitely need to come back at any time. Support the battlefield. Therefore, Essinger Mobile Fortress needs to reserve at least enough magic crystal reserves for one jump. As long as we tell this reason, even if others know that we still have a lot of magic crystals, they will not find any reason to accuse us of not jumping directly to the United States. Of course, if anyone thinks we are slow and wants us to provide magic crystals to support this jump, we will certainly not mind. As for the consumption of this jump...
No one except our guild knows the exact number. Other guilds know that the amount of magic crystals required for one jump of Essinger Mobile Fortress is amazing. As for the specific amazing method, they don’t know, so even the Neptune Palace dares to shout They are willing to reimburse the travel expenses, and we can scare them back directly with the deceptive consumption.
Without jumping, we can only let Essinger Mobile Fortress fly over by itself. The consumption of magic crystals in this process is not large, and this cannot be deceived. Moreover, the moving speed of Essinger Mobile Fortress is actually not slow. Even if it flies over, it won't take long. So we still have to find a way to explain why our movement speed is so slow.
Thinking of this, I said directly: "The excuse of insufficient magic crystal reserves is not bad and can withstand scrutiny. However, everyone knows the flying speed of Essinger Mobile Fortress. If we run out of time two or three times, It’s still hard to explain, right?”
Rose had already thought about how to explain it, so as soon as I asked her, she immediately explained to me: "I also have a solution regarding our speed problem. This solution is actually very simple, just design a terrorist attack."
"Terrorist attacks?"
I was stunned again when I heard this, and then started thinking about the feasibility. Not to mention, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be possible.
Although the defense of Essinger Mobile Fortress is good, the internal things are not particularly strong. If someone attacks our power system, it is understandable that it will affect the speed and safety of Essinger Mobile Fortress. Of course, this kind of thing cannot be said casually, it must be done. As for how to actually do it... I thought of it after a little hesitation.
The Essinger Mobile Fortress was shot down once by the Siberian Protoss when it was in Russia. Since then, it has been busy with the surrounding construction work. The Essinger Mobile Fortress did not pay too much attention to the repairs and only made simple temporary repairs. Sexual repair. We can definitely stage a retaliatory attack ourselves, since we have offended a lot of people recently. Whether it is the Russians, people from the Holy Spear League, or even those in Japan who belong to Nobunaga's Ghost Hands, they are all good targets for framing the blame. We can definitely find someone to install bombs in the power system of Essinger Mobile Fortress, and then blow up all the equipment that was damaged in the first place and was only repaired briefly. These things will have to be replaced later anyway, so it wouldn't be a pity to blow them up. Then, we can control Essinger Mobile Fortress to simulate a crash. Anyway, the explosion really happened. We can completely use the several traitors in the guild who have been found to spread the news and let others know about our situation. Bian was really attacked. As for whether the crash was caused by an attack, isn't that what we say?
After Essinger Mobile Fortress crashes into the sea, we can take the opportunity to stop and deliberately delay time, just in time to thoroughly repair Essinger Mobile Fortress. It will be done later anyway, so why not take this opportunity to complete it now. Of course the repair process can be faster, but the progress needs to be kept secret. Anyway, Essinger Mobile Fortress is our own territory. As long as we don't let the spies in the guild get close, outsiders will not know our repair progress. And we can completely look at the situation and adjust the progress as needed. When Neptune Palace is about to die, we will immediately "fix it" and then rush to the United States to support Neptune Palace.
With this series of arrangements, even if the people at Neptune Palace thought that we might be here to play on purpose, they would not be able to find any excuse. Moreover, even if there are people who really have suspicions, it is impossible for them to openly shout out under the general environment, and most players of the Paladin League will remember our help, which is enough.
"Yes, the method is feasible, but who do you want to play the attacker? I'm afraid someone from our own guild is not suitable, right?" (To be continued ~^~)
