Chapter 145: Quarantine Zone

What is the key to the execution of Project Eternal Fortress about Project Everfort?

Fortress?

Is it to build more defensive fortresses?

Since the name of the plan has the word "fortress" in it, there will definitely be a lot of fortresses in the style of fortresses.

Zhou Ming predicted that about 10,000 forts would be built in the border area of the outer defense line...... On average, there is one for every 20 miles on the border.

Of course, these 10,000 fortresses are all small fortresses with a garrison of about 500 people, and they will not be built very large, wasting a lot of resources and taking up too many manpower.

However, these fortresses are not the key to the success of the "Eternal Fortress Project", and no matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached one day...... There are holes in any defense.

So the key to the success of Project Eternal Fortress is to create a zone of separation.

A barrier outside the fortress, artificially "cleared" out.

The width of this barrier is about 5,000 to 10,000 li, and it probably contains all or most of the territory of the 50 or so Light Saint Kingdoms.

Zhou Ming planned to send dozens of firearms legions to attack the fifty or so Bright Holy Countries, and after destroying the Holy See forces in these Bright Holy Countries, he would thoroughly clean up these 50 or so Bright Holy Countries.

Wipe out 1 billion people (the total population of the 50 or so Bright Saints is about 1 billion).

Is the "clean-up" here all killed, killing a billion people?

Of course, they won't all be killed, and such a huge population, not to mention being killed, is extremely difficult to collect and control, and it is impossible to kill them all.

And among these billion people, it is impossible for all of them to be devout followers of the God of Light, and their belief in God is above all else.

Zhou Ming estimates that among the billion people, excluding 40% of the old and young, and the other 60% of the population, there will be about 100 million, which are nobles and wealthy people whose interests have been damaged...... Belong to "potential allies".

There will probably be about 400 million people, who are ignorant and blindly obedient, whose belief in the God of Light will be sometimes strong and sometimes weak according to their own needs, and they believe in the true God, but in most cases, they do not fully rely on the true God, and only when it is really difficult, will they temporarily hold the Buddha's feet...... Zhou Ming also has a way to win over this part of the people.

As for the remaining 100 million people, I am afraid that they are the so-called "fanatical believers", who believe in God above everything else in their minds, and look forward to entering heaven day and night to enjoy happiness.

In short, no matter what type of person it is, after taking the 50 Bright Holy Kingdoms, Zhou Ming will send a professional team to test and screen the population of each country, screen out all the fanatics, and after killing them, let the necromancer extract their souls, inject them into the soul crystal, and then make them all into magic puppets.

Yes, in order to defeat the Bright Sect, Zhou Ming not only regarded the population as an important resource, but even the souls of the dead, he also set his eyes on them, recruited and cultivated necromancers on a large scale, gathered souls everywhere, and produced a large number of magic puppets that could completely replace people.

And the magic puppet does not need to eat and drink, it can work day and night like a perpetual motion machine, sent to the battlefield, and there is no fear or evasion, it will only obey the order and charge forward, even if it loses a magic puppet, it is only a loss of a soul crystal that is not very expensive.

Therefore, in front of the Bright Holy See, which has an almost unlimited population, Zhou Ming is not afraid of the large number of people on the other side, and even how many troops the Holy See sends, the necromancer in his hand can collect as many souls as he can and make into as many people as he wants.

The pope's demographic advantage can also be transformed into his "demographic superiority".

However, compared to living people, magic puppets have no ability to think independently, and their ability to learn and create is even more insufficient.

Therefore, Zhou Ming dismissed the plan to transform those billion people into one billion magic puppets, and decided to only convert those "fanatical believers" and the other population, and all of them migrated to the territory of the "Godless Alliance" and became his own population resources.

This is known as "purging".

But the question is, not to mention how to complete the migration of the remaining 900 million people in a relatively short period of time after removing the "fanatics" group, that is, the food and various living materials needed for the survival of these 900 million people, how can the godless alliance allocate and satisfy?

You must know that this is a population of 900 million, which is twice the total population of the current Godless Alliance, and the various kinds of consumption it needs, just food, is how much is it?

And the godless alliance, which has just experienced a war, has become a problem for most of its food self-sufficiency, and it has to feed an additional 900 million people, which is ......

Isn't this a joke or what?

If the Holy See of Light knew about this scene, he was afraid that he would laugh off his big teeth.

I even wish you had gathered more of the population, eaten you up, ate you poor, and ate you until you collapsed.

So the food problem is a big problem.

If this problem is not solved, the Godless Alliance will not want to absorb more people and increase its war potential.

So how to solve the food problem?

Import.

Imported from the Waitros Empire.

All the food rations and supplies needed by the 900 million people were imported from the Waitros Empire.

But hundreds of millions of tons of food and material needs, can the Waitros Empire provide?

It should satisfy most ...... Because under the guidance of Zhou Ming, the Viterus Empire has set off an agricultural revolution in recent years, and the grain output has increased by 30%, which is enough to meet the food needs of one billion people.

If that's not enough, then find the Magic City to solve some of it...... Above the stars, the Magic City also has a large grain production.

In short, with the new 900 million people added by the Godless Alliance, Zhou Ming is sure to solve the food needs of these people and can feed them.

In this way, all the people in the 50 Bright Holy Realms were transferred to the Godless Alliance.

On the periphery of the Godless Alliance, a "separation zone" with a width of 5,000 to 10,000 miles can be built.

In this "isolated zone", Zhou Ming will send a large number of floating warships to destroy all habitable houses, destroy all roads and bridges, release poison, pollute all arable land, and even those tall and dense forests, and finally artificially create a vast "no man's land".

In this "no man's land", as long as the Legion of Light enters on a large scale, at least for a distance of 5,000 miles, except for fresh water, the Legion of Light will not be able to get any supplies.

There is not a single farmer.

There is not a single grain of grain.

There is not a single house.

There are no roads and bridges.

Even the forest was completely destroyed.

In such a "no man's land", after a long-distance march of more than 5,000 miles, the scientific and technological level is backward, and the Legion of Light, which can only rely on people to push horses to transport supplies, how many of the 10 million troops can finally reach the border of the Godless Alliance?

And what is the most important thing about an army?

Food and supplies.

Without food and supplies, even an army of more than 100 million people would not be able to sustain three days.

Zhou Ming's purpose in setting up an "isolation zone" was to "test" the Bright Holy See in terms of food supply.

Want to see how many of the second wave of unknown armies sent by the Holy See of Light can reach the borders of the Godless Alliance under such conditions?

Once the "No Man's Land" is completed, food supply will become the most powerful weapon in Zhou Ming's hands!

So thinking of this, Zhou Ming sneered:

"There are many of you, my eternal fortress, and the last thing I am afraid of is that there are many of you!"
