Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Supreme Command.

"Have all the deployed personnel in all war zones been withdrawn? How is the training progress?"

Ji Lin flipped through the report in his hand and asked the staff officer beside him.

"All fixed bases have been withdrawn, leaving only a very large number of reconnaissance and early warning troops. The troops of each lord have entered the training process... It will take two months to organize and train them into division-level units."

Integrate the scattered soldiers into the most basic units that can undertake the battle mission. Each division-level unit can be responsible for a small section of the defense line on the battlefield.

Lords who can provide a large number of manpower will be organized at the division level, and lords who do not have much manpower will use the regiment-level organization to participate in the battle.

A standard infantry regiment of 1,500 people composed of riflemen and heavy mortars, supplemented by the lords' characteristic support regiment, becomes a regiment-level unit under the Supreme Command.

A large-scale division consists of five regiments and support troops, and can reach a scale of 10,000 people.

Whether it is ratmen, dwarves, or orcs, as long as they hold a rifle, they are riflemen.

The development of weapon technology has leveled most of the gaps between species, allowing every humanoid unit with "hands" to be sent to the trenches to fill every gap in the battle line.

Let them become the cheapest riflemen who can fill the trenches.

The organization is naturally borrowed from the wisdom of predecessors and forums, and the available templates have been proven by facts that there will not be too many problems.

And various monster infantry and large units have significantly reduced their importance in this era due to excessive firepower. Whether it is direct field artillery or indirect mortar, it can easily kill various medium and large units that could have been slaughtered in the infantry array.

For the first time, the destructive firepower possessed by infantry units completely overrides defense.

Corresponding to the first world war and the second world war.

"During this period, we and the island alliance will be responsible for ensuring the safety of the defense line. The ground has retreated 30 kilometers. Don't let those birdmen come up to interfere with our normal production work."

"The industrial command ship has been dispatched to the nearest airspace for production work, and it will take two to three weeks to arrive."

The staff officer glanced at the file in his hand and replied.

"But... do you really want to develop the production technology of steam spiders and steam mechanized soldiers? Will it make us lose our technological advantage?"

Ji Lin nodded, he knew the doubts of his officers.

"I only want to develop the technology to the lords at the division level, and that is the retired next-generation armored mechanical technology... This is what they deserve."

The ground lords are willing to form a division-level unit to participate in the battle, and they, as the highest command, naturally have to give "help".

Of course, no salary.

It is closer to the self-support of the guards in the Ming Dynasty, and the central government needs to recruit soldiers to the front line.

Ji Lin nodded, and continued to look through the plan report in his hand, checking the organization submitted by each lord.

"We have already mastered the early armored machinery technology, and the third-generation automatic machine unit is being developed. There is no problem in releasing the first-generation technology to other lords... It is better to let them help us see if there are any areas where the structure can be optimized."

He paused.

"As for the technical advantage, our real technical advantage is the industrial advantage brought by the popularization of automation technology in the territory, not the technical advantage brought by steam spiders and steam mechas."

The advantages of volume and production capacity are the real advantages.

"Yes, the Academy of Engineering is already integrating the castrated version of armored machinery technology... We just need to determine the first batch of division-level lists to release the technology, and then retire the old equipment in the warehouse."

The staff officer nodded, Ji Lin took a sip of tea, and stared at the gray sky outside the window.

The technology of steam spiders and steam mechas, as well as ten retired mechas each, will be given to these division-level lords.

He finally came to this point, and he finally had several strategic combat armies in his hands. When the subordinate lords mastered this technology, these troops would become the mainstay of the battle.

Ji Lin did not need to let his troops participate in high-risk army operations, and could focus on developing floating fleets to support the ground and seize air supremacy.

The times were different from the past. The troops he had now were all airborne assault troops piled up with real money, or special mixed assault troops.

If he was asked to use the high-quality infantry of the territory to fill the line and mince meat now, Ji Lin would feel heartbroken.

He felt a loss even if it was one for five.

The people of the Ring Island Alliance still held on to their magic mecha technology.

What they released was technology, which could be used by different lords to create different mechanical constructs... including other forms of mechanical troops that the territory did not have the time and resources to develop.

Just like he released the rifle technology, and then borrowed the technical capabilities of others to harvest a batch of new rifle designs.

Tracked, wheeled, truck.

Lightweight, heavy, firepower specialization.

The technology is universal, but the research institute operating at full capacity in the territory has no extra energy to develop new aircraft and sub-models.

The priority of heavy aircraft development is much higher than that of ground armored forces.

With heavy aircraft, the mobile operation platform of the industrial command ship can deliver attack firepower at a longer distance and give the enemy meticulous "care".

"And they will eventually use our crystal ore fuel. All technical units are designed around hydrogen polymerization ore. Ordinary coal has too low calorific value and cannot replace our special fuel."

If they use our technology, they will have to buy fuel from us, and only Ji Lin is qualified to produce crystal ore.

The steam engine unit without the corresponding fuel is just a pile of slow-moving scrap metal, and the alternative fuel is not as efficient as the special crystal ore fuel.

After the technology is popularized, the demand for fuel will make them more united around the Supreme Command.

United by his side.

Ji Lin looked at the staff officer, who showed a clear expression.

"The Vatican's troops seem to be preparing for some action...Do we need to take the initiative and carry out a 'punishment attack' like before?"

The Supreme Commander glanced at the map, and the only thing left at the end of the entire defense line was the front-line material distribution center.

Any frontal attack on the battle line cannot bypass this fortress. If we don't destroy it first, we will suffer heavy losses from the garrison's attack from the side.

"No, we wait for them to hit us..."

"Put the patrol on standby 24 hours a day."
