Chapter 542 Lanqi's Salem Plan
"Today is the sixth day since you came to this shadow world."
"Although you have achieved some results, you are not happy. News has come that the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss is losing ground."
"You know you can't be confused anymore."
The cat boss said to Lanqi, while curiously scratching a music box with his claws, and a little song full of tension was played on it.
The lingering and unrestrained string sounds sometimes brought a sense of anxiety, and the confusing melody seemed like a lonely person dancing in the mud, looking for light in the dark.
It was late at night in Lanqi's home in Helsarem.
He sat alone behind an old-fashioned wooden desk, surrounded by densely packed books.
There were many magic engineering instruments in front of him, and the one that attracted the cat boss's attention the most was a Nixie tube timer. The tube emitted a saturated orange-red light, like magma lighting up the numbers, which looked particularly mysterious in the dim room.
The faint buzzing of the timer echoed in the quiet room, as if reminding them of the passage of time.
"It's time for me to leave Helsharem."
Lanqi's face was illuminated by the lamp on the table. His expression was deep and his eyes were bright. His gaze seemed to penetrate the snowy plain in the north.
These days, the Horning Empire not only attacked its neighboring Kingdom of Bliss head-on, but he also received intelligence that the special forces of the Horning Empire also infiltrated the Kingdom of Fuklo and the Kingdom of Edith on the east and west sides.
But Lanqi could guess it himself.
Although the Eternal Night Land in the northern snowy plain, where there is not much daytime all year round, is not a strategic location in history, it is a Feng Shui treasure land for the blood clan.
Because the nights there are too long and the sun rarely appears, they can avoid their only weakness.
Once the blood clan opens the east or west, occupies the Eternal Night Land, and begins to encircle the Polant Empire from the north and south, it will be a real disaster.
The Eternal Night Land may be much more dangerous now than before, and no one is sure whether the blood clan's vanguard has successfully sneaked in.
But fortunately, the ancestors of the blood clan have been monitored by the demon world for many years. If an ancestor of the blood clan of the eighth-rank marquis or above goes north, it will definitely cause the demon clan to make a move first.
One of the terms of the "North-South Treaty" between the blood clan and the demon clan is that the blood clan cannot easily cross the land of eternal night without permission, unless it is a blood clan envoy like Baron Sanchez in the Purgatory Corridor Academy in the shadow world. After the advance negotiation between the demon clan and the blood clan, he can be received into the demon world openly and search for humans lurking in the Purgatory Corridor Academy with the demon world investigators.
"Boss Cat, we should leave Helsarem tomorrow morning and go to the demon world."
Lanqi's fingers tapped lightly on the table, staring at a [Transformation: Human] he had just made.
This is a spell card that can transform into him, Lanqi Wilford, which he made by hand in the past two days.
Because he brought Boss Cat this time, there are enough card slots, and even let it carry a portable card making tool set consisting of ten equipment cards, so he can make magic cards even in the shadow world.
However, this kind of compressed portable tool is far inferior to the high-end tools in the workshop in the real world, and the difficulty of making cards in the shadow world is much higher than in the real world.
Lanqi will let a trusted subordinate of his faction transform into him, play as him in the next three to four weeks, and maintain activities in Helsarem according to his plan.
During this period, he will transform into Rocky McCarthy and pass through the Land of Eternal Night to the Demon Realm to find Hyperion and seek some negotiation possibilities from the big demons.
During this period, he will turn off the live broadcast of the shadow world. In addition to not wanting the people of the South Continent to see Rocky McCarthy, he does not want the people of the real world to see him as a demon now.
As long as he transforms into a demon and loses the cover of human skin, other demons in the demon world may find that he is a big demon, which is not easy to explain to the people of the South Continent.
"Meow, I don't know how Hyperion's magic veins are in the demon world now. I'm so worried that she will not adapt to the climate."
Boss Cat misses Hyperion very much.
Previously, when Hyperion fell into the Kingdom of Estelan, it was not worried about Hyperion at all, because that was a pure land, and the demon world was scary to think about.
"Don't worry, just wait until I bring her back."
Lanqi reached out and touched the little black cat, and said firmly.
"Yeah."
The little black cat nodded.
These days, Lanqi was surprisingly normal, although it couldn't understand what Lanqi was doing every day.
In addition to negotiating and writing plans, he was doing the work of a prime minister normally. After get off work, he went home to develop small magic engineering, and did not give a grand speech as expected.
It was very happy that Lanqi finally listened to what it and Hyperion said.
Although this shadow world looked very desperate, after a trip to the North Continent, it believed in Lanqi's ability and upper limit, and this shadow world was Lanqi's strength. As long as he worked hard, it might not be difficult to increase the chance of winning from 0% to the target 1% after more than 40 days.
And it only needed to take care of Lanqi's daily balanced diet and health.
It saw that the current situation of the Polant Empire had become——
[Public support: 145→ 276/1000 (popular support and cohesion)]
[House of Representatives: 252→ 227/1000 (support rate of the top leaders in the Polant Empire)]
[Military strength: 124/1000 (with the Honing Empire as a reference)]
[Finance: 222→236/1000 (Current productivity of the Polant Empire)]
[Diplomacy: 115/1000 (Diplomatic relations with the Demon Realm and surrounding countries that have not surrendered)]
The chance of winning is still 0.0000%, and even the fourth decimal point does not show a positive number.
However, it is understandable, because the actual results achieved by Lanqi this week are very small. In addition to basically stabilizing the public sentiment and the House of Representatives, the only decisive factor is that the finance has a slight increase, which is still due to the related impact of the rise in public sentiment.
Boss Cat feels that because Lanqi made a normal decision this time that was too stable, in the eyes of people outside the Shadow World, Lanqi may have almost been idle for a week to get familiar with this Shadow World.
In other words, he has wasted the first six of the forty-five rounds. It is hard to imagine how much pressure Lanqi's teacher Loren is facing outside now.
The next trip to the Demon Realm will cut off three to four weeks of Shadow World Live. I don’t know if Loren can withstand the time when Shadow World Live is opened again.
This desperate diplomatic journey can only win and not lose, otherwise Lanqi and Loren may have to defend their families in the face of public opinion.
"Lanqi, what's the use of this you prepared?"
The cat boss standing on the table patted some handwritten notes and complex planning projects scattered in front of Lanqi with his paws.
Lanqi arranged a lot of work before leaving. He could understand this one a little bit. It did not involve too many political issues of the Polant Empire. It was just a simple engineering strategic plan.
Its cover name is "Sharem Plan"
It will be hosted by the army, using a lot of resources and manpower. The start-up plan is for magic engineers to conduct research and experiments in a confidential research institute located on the outskirts of the capital Helsharem, and at the same time, it will be completed and expanded, and multiple laboratories and factories will be set up across the country to assist.
"It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. What I need is to do my best to let the spies in the south know that we have a "Sharem Plan" during this period. We are investing all our efforts to create a secret weapon. Anyway, we want to make the Horning Empire suspicious of us."
Lanqi replied.
He has no secrets with cats.
"Can we make something?"
The cat boss was even more confused.
It actually thought that it would be good to complete the startup phase in just over forty days, and it was impossible to produce any results.
"It can't be made."
Lanqi shook his head calmly,
"But as long as the Horning Empire can't figure out whether we have the "Salem Plan", it's enough."
"But there really isn't one."
The cat boss was confused.
"Who knows?"
Lanqi spread his hands.
It can't be made, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
When the time comes, if we airdrop a [Nuclear Fusion Wolf] to the Horning Empire, the Horning Empire may believe it.
They may even believe that this kind of bomb can be continuously manufactured, and the Polant Empire can airdrop a second one.
Anyway, we can fabricate a void "Salem Plan" to make the Horning Empire suspicious, and then we can naturally give the blood race a little light and heat shock.
In this era, throwing a nuclear fusion wolf shouldn't be brought to a military court, so he can press the button with peace of mind.
The key now is to find fuel in the demon world.
And tomorrow morning, the secretary will help him find a snowy coachman who can take him and Boss Cat safely through the land of eternal night, and the journey will begin.
