Take Taobao with you to another world

As a representative of Xia State who has long established an ally relationship with the Industrial Alliance, Long Tianao learned of the concerns expressed by the representatives of these countries in the meeting. Generally speaking, there are several types: The first thing that worries them is that they do not know the gap. Where will the battle start and how will it start, whether the experience of 200 years ago is useful; secondly, can the Industrial Alliance guarantee them that they will be able to control the buoy that is crossing the world and lighting up the coordinates of each arrival in turn? Empty city, and whether it is possible to allocate places to the upper city now; thirdly, many small countries are afraid of becoming victims of war. They lack both force and population, and at most they can only organize a wave of defense. It is bound to be broken, where will their nobles and commoners go...and so on.

The representatives of these countries have seen the power of the industrial alliance on the way here and during the meeting, and they have no doubts about respecting it as the leader of the alliance. However, the superficial understanding of what they have seen and heard and the paper materials that only have numbers are only enough for them to understand the industrial alliance at present. The alliance is a peculiar country that is different from the "common sense country" in form and substance, but they have not been able to make them quite sure about the industrial alliance's attitude towards the countries and the assistance it can give to allies. Some looming signs and private circulation among representative groups The rumors are also disturbing.

One of the most disturbing rumors was that the ruling classes of the Confederation of Industry were said to be extremely hostile to the "Old World".If there is no rift to reopen, it is that they will be enemies of the world.

The source of this speculation is easy to determine, but the league did not deliberately seek this source.

During the intervals between the meetings of representatives of these countries, the Alliance, as a landlord, arranged many visits for them.In fact, it is a bit rude to say that before the floating city was decoupled and set sail, many countries in Central Continent did not even know that there was such a country as the Industrial Union. The representatives were shocked.

This kind of situation was not unreasonable in the past, but now that the rift is about to reopen at any time, and mankind as a whole is facing the crisis of war, the information between countries and regions must no longer be so blocked.And this worrisome question has just been raised because the industry alliance has shown them that both wired and wireless communication networks have been mostly solved.

The representatives of various countries were pleasantly surprised, and continued to search for solutions to other difficulties in the production system of the industrial alliance like a treasure hunt. They saw the coal-iron alliance's production process like alchemy and the steel output beyond their imagination limit, and they understood. The weapons and armor of the alliance are not a problem; seeing the piles of cement in the warehouse, I feel that the fortress defense line can also be less worrying; seeing the vast agricultural production base and the agricultural machinery in it, comparing them in terms of data Seeing the numbers, it is difficult for them to say other words except shocking them.

Obviously, with such production capacity, the rulers of the industrial alliance not only have extraordinary wisdom, superb skills, and profound insights, but their understanding of war must also be different from ordinary people.So it is not surprising why the alliance has never been defeated since its establishment, but the victory or defeat of the war does not depend entirely on the amount of supplies. Why the alliance suffers very little casualties in every war can only be understood by seeing their battles.

Those countries who did not know enough about the industrial alliance before (or understood extremely one-sidedly) do not have to wait until the war begins to see the true power of the industrial alliance. It is full and compact, and the time for free discussion and organization of visits is only a few days, and then it is time to enter the next step of the meeting process, discussing the form, principles and specific regulations of the alliance, and in the middle of these two processes, one day is particularly empty Come out and make other arrangements.

During this day, the Industry Federation arranged a "drill" for representatives of various countries.

Exercise is a very novel concept for most people. Whether it is an enemy or a friend, no one can refuse to see the performance of the industrial alliance in simulated actual combat.

Exercises start in the morning.

The auditorium is set up outside the military exercise site, with thousands of seats made of wooden boards built on a stepped iron frame. Representatives of some countries are a little dissatisfied with the fact that the viewing platform is so simple and regardless of dignity, but they heard that This was built overnight and then shut up.

Sitting in the auditorium and watching the infield of the military exercise, what you see is a wide field with various terrains. Through the various water mirrors placed over the field before the exercise, people can see various areas outlined in white circles in different areas. a tactical target.Regardless of the audience's status as a prince, leader or Suiyi, everyone distributed a picture-based exercise manual, and the organizer also arranged many explainers in the auditorium to answer questions for the audience at any time.

After everything was ready, the exercise began.

As many people had predicted before, this exercise completely overturned people's previous understanding of war, both in form and in substance.First of all, the profession of knights has disappeared from the battlefield. Although the commentator said that riding and archery is still the basic skill of alliance soldiers, and riding beasts is still an important resource for warfare, the real "knights" who wear full body clothing have been determined to be eliminated. up.

Traditional weapons such as longbows, long knives (swords), flails, hammers, axes, etc. have almost completely withdrawn from the battlefield. Soldiers only carry daggers and new weapons. The new arms called engineers will also bring sharp shovels, but No more.And their war attire has also undergone great changes, not only the armor has been abandoned shockingly, most of the body is not wearing armor, only the helmet is on the head, and the soldiers and officers wear the same style and the same cloth In addition to the number of colorful embroidery and pockets sewn in subtle places, there are no more decorations to highlight the difference between each other.

These modifications made by the Alliance people have to be said to be very weird, both physically and psychologically uncomfortable, but this discomfort was thrown out of the sky after the exercise started, because the Alliance people do not talk about martial arts. At the beginning, a hundred cannons were fired. Even with the early warning of the commentator, many people were startled and jumped out of their seats. The next moment, the shells landed on the ground. , The flames blazed, the earth shook, and many people hugged and shivered in fright. When the shelling was suspended, the red flag was waved, and many infantry jumped out of the trenches, advancing like a tide on the long front, only a group of people calmed down a little. After coming down, enduring tinnitus and dizziness, he asked the commentator the meaning of each tactical action on the field at this time.

In fact, you don't need to listen to the explanations of the alliance members, just watching the opening round of bombardment that seemed to destroy the world, you can fully understand why every opponent of the industrial alliance has been defeated so thoroughly.The purpose of war is victory, no matter what means or weapons are used—in fact, as long as any country has such weapons, it is a matter of course that they should formulate the rules of the battlefield.

These representatives who watched the exercise could not help but imagine what would happen if their own country stood on the opposite side of the industrial alliance. They could only say that such power could only be born for the battle of the rift, otherwise it would be too much to use it on human beings... cruel.

Especially in the middle game of the exercise, these representatives saw that the airships also joined the battlefield as weapons for attacking the ground. When they dropped those heavy shells from high altitude, not only the audience, but the entire audience stage jumped from the ground. Standing up, amidst the exclamation, a white shock wave swept across the entire exercise site, the water mirror shattered, and the protective spells on many nobles and mages were stimulated—there is such power at such a long distance, almost Teach people to lose the courage to comment on this performance.

Even so, with the help of the unmoving narrator, people with a little military knowledge can still see clearly that the army of the Industrial Alliance is not simply piling up firepower, their weapons in the sky and the ground are unified. Yes, then there must be a complete set of war theories that start with oneself.The more common-sense members of the audience thought that since the Industrial Federation practiced an indiscriminate education for all, it meant that their soldiers were not only literate, but most likely had received such a military education.

Now these soldiers marching bravely in the practice field are just soldiers. What if they walk out of the industrial alliance with these weapons?

There is nothing to talk about. The day after the exercise ended, the representatives of various countries reached a resolution in each branch venue to unite the countries and regions in the west of Central Continent and elect the Industrial Alliance as the leader of the Central Continent Human Self-Defense Alliance. I hope this A powerful country can open up its technology and provide war guidance and assistance to other countries, and all countries are willing to show their sincerity to the greatest extent, just to win a chance when the demons invade.

In fact, from the perspective of political strategy, they should not have expressed their stance so quickly, and they should not have lowered their stance so low. But first of all, they have heard the live broadcast of the whereabouts of the floating city every day since they came here. Once its voyage returns to the starting point, all the coordinates are lit up, and the rift is about to open. The urgency is indescribable. In the venue, there are not only various materials from the world of Middle Continent, but also the illustrated book of rift creatures restored by the Industrial Alliance based on historical records. If you link those chilling images with the tragic wars in history... Secondly, in the previous free discussions, those countries with noble children studying in the industrial alliance have been agitating the emotions of other representatives, and even if there is no Their incitement, most of the representatives also know how to weigh the pros and cons: the industrial alliance occupies a quarter of the western part of Central Continent, not to mention its population, resources and comprehensive strength. An empire as powerful as it was at its peak.

The exercise is just adding another heavy weight to the already tilted balance, and they actually have no other choice.

With such awareness, the alliance meeting quickly entered the substantive stage: Now that the industrial alliance has been determined to be the leader of this self-defense alliance, what principles should this alliance abide by?What kind of obligations should be undertaken between the leader and allies, and between allies and allies, and what rights should they enjoy?In the second rift war, what kind of strategy and tactics should the Human Self-Defense Alliance adopt?

Or to be more specific, how much does the Industrial Alliance know about this war and the fissure demons, how much information will they share with their allies, and how much assistance they can give to the countries—especially the last one, is Almost all countries represented issues of greatest concern at the moment.

The Floating Void City is lighting up the arrival coordinates on the mainland one by one. In the countries and regions that can be notified by the Industry Alliance and the United Kingdom, there have been reports of abnormalities occurring at the "lit up" locations after the Floating Void City passed by. It is rising, the swamp is sinking and looks like boiling, the sand dunes are solidified in large areas, and a huge circular withered belt appears in the forest... All the visions are accompanied by different degrees of earthquakes.People in many areas unfortunately located on the coordinate point have begun to flee. When the representatives of various countries are meeting, hundreds of thousands of human beings are migrating away from the "entrance of hell".

The senior cadres of the Industrial Alliance finally sat across from the representatives of various countries.

After they introduced themselves, some representatives were a little surprised and at the same time a little embarrassed to find that the faces of these important ministers of the alliance were more or less familiar. During the meeting of the past ten days, they were either translators or The clerk, or appearing as an interpreter, is sometimes requested by representatives as ordinary service personnel.And they can't say that the other party has concealed their identities, because in retrospect, the other part of the representatives will always surround these translators and clerks during discussions. The warm atmosphere that is different from usual clearly shows that they have already aware.

But this little embarrassment was quickly put aside. The senior cadres of these alliances are already very aware of the demands of the countries, and their style has always been frank and straightforward. Regarding the questions raised by the representatives of the countries, they said straight to the point: First, the second rift war will definitely happen. No country, including the industrial alliance, can face this crisis alone. Humanity must unite all forces to hope to win this war.

Second, all the forces mentioned here do not only refer to all the current armies of various countries, but all human beings who are willing to fight for survival, including nobles, civilians, slaves, and even vagrants and refugees. Prepare.

Third, this is not only a civil war, but also an all-out war. In addition to manpower, the material resources of all countries must also face difficult tests.The Industrial Alliance will provide maximum assistance to each of the Allies after the establishment of the Human Self-Defense Alliance. Correspondingly, each member country must also ensure that the Industrial Alliance uses its maximum military and economic resources.

The human self-defense alliance must be built on the basis of such a consensus in order to be stable and hopeful.

After announcing the above principles, these coalition representatives began to talk about other issues of concern to everyone.They said that according to the known information so far, the world beyond the rift will come on an unprecedented scale in this war, and the restart of the rift will inevitably be accompanied by major natural disasters. The earthquakes that are happening in various places today are omens.Therefore, the countries and regions near the arrival point must transfer their population immediately, and other temporarily spared countries must also prepare to face the plight that basic farmland will be damaged in disasters and wars, and food production may decrease or even fail, so they must step up their reserves of food and other materials.

At the same time, the construction of the Great Wall around the various points of descent must begin immediately.But the so-called Great Wall defense line does not refer to a city wall or a human wall around the point of descent, but to establish multi-layered and multi-segment defensive positions with bunkers as the main points according to the different topography and landforms of different regions. , use all means to trap the enemy in the area near his arrival point, prevent them from breaking through the line of defense, destroy the human settlements and production areas in the rear, and open up alien communication lines with other arrival points, and unite to fight against human beings of resistance.

What they want to carry out is a protracted defensive battle. If the defense line is maintained effectively, the enemy will be like a fire in a cylinder. Surrender, or they completely abandon this one or this batch of advent points.This requires not only a large number of trained and determined soldiers, but also a sufficient number of reliable weapons and an equally sufficient number of strong fortifications.

In terms of materials needed for the Great Wall defense line, the Industrial Alliance will provide a large amount of materials such as cement and steel through air and water transportation channels, and will be equipped with a certain number of construction workers. In terms of military affairs, the Industrial Alliance will distribute military exercises to allies according to the situation The new weapons that have appeared in the war will be opened soon, and military bases will be opened in New Mahy City, New Nagar Autonomous Region, Fusong Port and other places to train officers from allied countries who are willing to learn new types of warfare from theory to practice. Now, the Industrial Alliance will also lead by example, directly dispatching formed troops to the first-line positions surrounded outside the landing point, and serve as the vanguard of the human defense front.

Now that the Industrial Alliance has made such a commitment, the representatives of various countries cannot raise higher demands.Therefore, the draft of the joint declaration was drawn up immediately, leaving only the final step of signing together and publishing it to the whole of Central Continent.

The day of the ceremony will definitely be recorded in the annals of history forever, but for the representatives of the current countries, what they look forward to the most on this day is not the formal establishment of the alliance covenant, but the supreme ruler of the alliance "Master" The first official appearance in front of them.

As the creator of the industrial alliance, even the representatives of countries whose information was so blocked that they did not know the existence of the alliance before that, after the start of the alliance meeting, they also knew in the shortest time the uncrowned emperor's love for the alliance and even for mankind. of extreme importance.However, compared to the foundation he created, he himself is too low-key and mysterious. Not only has his image never been published or positively described in newspapers, which are the most extensive and effective means of publicity for the alliance, but he has also been seen in the industrial city at the core of the alliance. There is less than one portrait of him and one statue of him, but those colorful hanging paintings featuring common people as the protagonists and promoting labor, learning and friendship are everywhere.Although the more powerful the talent, the more eccentric the personality, but the "Sorcerer" still avoids the crowd when thousands of nations gather for major discussions, which makes people more eager to see the true face.

"Sorcerer" must be extremely powerful. I heard that he is a member of the Dharma, so he has black hair and black eyes, like the night of the abyss, which matches his profound and endless wisdom. All kinds of miracles were born on the ruins. Tens of millions of human beings have benefited from the industrial alliance he founded. The unruly orcs are willing to submit to it. Now the upcoming Human Self-Defense Alliance will respect him. Such a truly transformed What will the person who controls the world and the future look like?Is he middle-aged or old, tall or short, majestic, or hale and hearty?

All kinds of speculation about this came to an end when he saw the black-haired young man who walked out of many alliance representatives with outstanding momentum and temperament.

He's much younger than people think, but that doesn't matter anymore.

The magician stepped onto the podium, and Long Tianao felt that the huge venue gradually turned from turmoil to silence, and thousands of eyes converged on one point.

The magician stood in front of the podium, put down the manuscript, and paused for a while. He raised his head and looked at the venue. Those black eyes seemed to see everyone's soul.

Then he started to speak.

"My dear sirs, hello. As the chairman of the Supreme Council of the Industrial Alliance, first of all, please allow me, on behalf of the Alliance, to express my highest respect and sincere thanks to those who care about the disasters foreshadowed by previous visions and gather here for the destiny of mankind .As we have seen all the facts, as we have obtained side knowledge from other channels, it is already certain that the channel connecting the Central Continent world and the opposite world that is about to be destroyed will be opened soon, and the intelligent life from the other side will pass through the world all over the continent. The Advent poured into the world, causing unimaginable crises."

There was no echo in the auditorium, and even the people in the last row could hear the clear pronunciation of the artisan, he said: "Referring to historical experience, this inevitable invasion will cause the outbreak of the second rift war, and compared with The first Rift War, this time the war will be wider in scope, more people will be involved, and it must be extremely cruel. It will be an unprecedented test for all mankind."

"Even if the war has not yet begun, no one should be lucky. No country or individual can survive this war alone. Humanity can only unite and form an unprecedented bond in a way that has never been Alliance, support each other, help each other, like brothers and sisters, because—”

The black-haired young man on the stage raised his head, and following his calm words, light curtains slanted down from all sides of the auditorium like a waterfall, as if a magnificent picture scroll containing the entire world unfolded around the auditorium.

Overly far-reaching bird's-eye views make people dizzy, even though the venue they are in is so wide that everyone has a place to sit, the participants still feel like they are in an empty island, the ground under their feet is unstable, and they even have to grab Only those around you can stabilize your body.

The magician said: "Because we live in the same world."
