"The concentrated embodiment of national strength lies in the level of manufacturing capacity."

With self-pity and self-pity, Luo Zhengdao quickly came back to his senses from his deep contemplation, the fact that the allies were unreliable was expected and not worth making a fuss about, which is why he refused to engage in any in-depth cooperation with the Elven Federation. I thought that the Yaling Empire could be more reliable here, but unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and the fall of the main continent completely subverted the basis of the argument for his earlier decision, although the Yaling Empire, which has always liked to cross the river and tear down the bridge, did not directly break with him, and the current negligence and neglect of Cheng Dù are also very embarrassing.

After analyzing Yaling's mentality and interests, Luo Zhengdao said to himself:

"Will Yaling forsake me? No, at least not now, they're beating me up, asking me to bow my head and cooperate. ”

Luo Zhengdao, who was born in the Western classical political class, saw the situation clearly, no matter what others said, the Second Goblin Empire was not a dead tiger, and until this strong opponent was completely defeated, the plans of the great powers to support the human resistance were all small means that benefited and did not cost anything.

No matter how lame the goblin fleets are, the Great Powers will inevitably pay a price in casualties when they engage them, and if they can make a potential adversary miserable for a small amount of money, it will certainly be worth the money. In this case, the negligence and negligence of the Yaling Empire at present are not due to poor money, let alone a sense of racial superiority, but rather because they think that Will Needham's generation. The attitude of the rational person is too tough and too shrewd, and the tendency to be uncontrolled is extremely strict, and it is the proper meaning of the question to beat him as soon as possible.

After thoroughly figuring out what the mind of the Yaling Empire was, Luo Zhengdao, who was familiar with the logic of power and strategy, scoffed at this small method, and he turned his head to Faul Chopin and said:

"Hehehehe, Yaling looks down on me! Think I don't dare break with them. ”

Hearing this, Old Fuer was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked:

"Your Majesty, what should we do then?"

Luo Zhengdao crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said:

"In the next period of time, we will concentrate on building merchant ships and shallow-water gunboats, and all unfinished ironclad ships will be suspended. I'll settle this account with them, it's not time to settle the account, you have to be patient. ”

Sure if His Majesty the King was really in control, and didn't care if Yaling was in charge of it, or if he was playing tricks to calm the army, Faul Chopin did not follow the etiquette of his retainers, but simply replied:

"Yes, His Majesty the King."

All things are foreseen, and those who are not prepared are wasted. Luo Zhengdao was in a hurry to get the second piece of evidence of the overlord, the devil gave the clue is true, and it is not easy to follow the clue to find a place to get the thing back. What he was looking for this time was the evidence of the overlord of the Sea of Light, what was the essence of this item, the naturalists of the New World rummaged through the ancient historical texts and parchment scrolls, but still couldn't say why. Throughout the ages, only four pirate kings knew exactly what the seven Overlord Certificates were, and the most confusing thing was that they were all silent about them, never mentioning them to anyone, or leaving behind a single bit of written material describing the appearance and function of the Overlord Certificates.

Not to mention that it takes time to prepare for the trip, Luo Zhengdao still has a major event that needs to be done in advance before leaving, that is, to give the goblins a hard time, lest they take advantage of Luo Zhengdao's departure from the lair, which is called a preventive strike.

Shallow water gunboats are good at fighting in extremely shallow water environments, the flat bottom does not have to worry about the threat of running aground by river sediment guides, and the short and fat hull with a gimmicky ratio of length to width is a stable firepower projection platform. Compared with the firepower configuration of sea ships of the same tonnage, shallow water gunboats are significantly higher by one notch, just in time to clean up the second-rate garrison fleet set up by goblins in inland rivers.

Knowing that the fall of the main continent was an inevitable result of sooner or later, the goblin's enthusiasm for encircling and suppressing the scourge of Luo Zhengdao plummeted. To use an inappropriate analogy, those guys who have terminal cancer and don't care about prostitution at all. Prostitutes infected with AIDS and other minor problems, they don't live long, and there are no more terminal illnesses, no less than one less, no big deal.

Chishui is the main mainland river closest to Qiongzhou, and it gets its name because it flows through a large area of red soil and hills, so the whole river looks as bright red as blood at first glance. The amount of water in Chishui is extremely abundant in the rainy season, and the water surface will shrink in the dry season, and the main stream of the river can ensure that the navigable distance is only more than 2,000 miles throughout the year, compared to the big rivers and the Xianglan River, which are ranked within the top ten, there is naturally no comparison, but the goblin shipyard and garrison fleet established in the Chishui River basin are like a thorn in Luo Zhengdao's ass that makes him sit still.

There is no need for any other reason to deal with the goblin fleet in Chishui, but the distance is too close, how can others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch? If the goblins are happy one day, the Chishui fleet can get up a few hours early, and they can kill Qiongzhou Island in minutes from the Chishui estuary, whether they can be defeated is one thing, even if it is harassed, it will make Luo Zhengdao's mood extremely unhappy!

In the Chishui Basin, there is a large area of dense primeval forest spreading hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, and a large number of human slaves are driven to engage in heavy labor such as logging, Luo Zhengdao just took the opportunity to go deep into Chishui to uproot the ruling power of the Goblin Second Empire, and easily rescued the human slaves

A line of heron-like waterfowl flutters overhead, and in the hot and humid environment like the Amazon rainforest in the old world, a variety of birds with colorful feathers can be seen everywhere, and it is really a paradise on earth when viewed from afar. Only those who have personally walked into the jungle understand that dealing with humus and all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest is by no means a pleasant thing for people to do physically and mentally.

"Hey, Zola, do you see?"

Hearing Luo Zhengdao's question, the boatswain stepped back away from the telescope, he took out a new wine jug made of stamped steel plates, poured a sip of rum, and said with a radiant face:

"Which fortress was not better than this ruined place? This little bit of firepower is nothing, Hiccup! ”

To say that pirates are addicted to alcohol is also an occupational disease, after a long voyage of fresh water bad taste, without mixing with alcohol can not be tasted, even if people who do not like to drink themselves on the ship, after a long time must become drunkards. Luo Zhengdao was not interested in urging the sailors to quit drinking, as long as they didn't delay their business, so he immediately nodded and said:

"Well, I'll wait for my signal later, and the whole fleet will concentrate its firepower to cover the landing force."

Zola Hegel, who was full of wine, was overjoyed, and he gave a military salute, but the action was more playful than respectful, and said with a laugh:

"Yes, His Majesty the King."

A few minutes later, a rocket burst into the sky, then exploded into a cloud of red mist that could be seen clearly for dozens of miles, and the sound of the movement announced the end of a brief period of calm.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

The large-caliber solid stone shells and explosions* fired by the naval guns, the dense bombardment of the goblin fortifications, and the buildings that quickly collapsed in the sound of the explosions were by no means tofu scum works. At least at the beginning of the design, these fort batteries were not built to withstand the baptism of 36-pounder long-barreled guns, and the rammed earth structure on the inside and the masonry on the outside could not fully absorb the impact of the shells, and when the battle situation evolved, it was only a matter of time before the goblin defenders were defeated.

"Marines, start landing!"

After so many years of continuous tossing, the self-made Luo Zhengdao has long since changed his guns, and finally accumulated enough veterans with loyalty and skilled technical and tactical skills as the backbone of the Marine Corps. Guns and hands. Grenades, as well as individual weapons such as light mortars and rocket launchers, this force has the ability to overturn an equal number of goblin armies in any situation. No, to be exact, no army in the New World could defeat them in equal numbers. Even if it is a super elite unit composed entirely of professionals, it is nothing more than a tie with this hardcore descendant army of Luo Zhengdao, which is a powerful force produced by the combination of army organization and national defense industrialization.

The most capable force of the Second Goblin Empire is undoubtedly the Goblin Commando, but the number is limited and it is difficult to take on the main task, followed by the infantry of the Goblin Legion, which is the backbone of the Goblin Army.

If this list continues to be lowered, it will be the turn of the wolf cavalry and the bear goblin grenadiers, the level of all aspects is passable, and in the end there are small goblins who are not strong in combat and can only act as scouts and logistics baggage troops.

The Chishui Fortress, a remote coastal frontier area, is neither a strategic place for any military to fight for, nor does it have important resources to produce, so the goblins really can't afford to leave their elite troops here waiting for the rainy day to mold. Among the local fortress garrisons, there are not even second-class wolf cavalry and bear goblins, and even more so the goblin infantry of the Second Goblin Empire, which relies on the dry city, and they can't even see a shadow at all. The area of the main continent is too vast, and there are times when the goblins with millions of troops are too busy to work, at this moment, a group of short goblin soldiers on the fortress battery are busy operating the huge heavy artillery, which can't help but make people feel a sense of disobedience with black lines, which is really too cute!

Although it looks like it's worth complaining about, the artillery skills of these little goblins are still passable, and it is not easy to be taken away by the waves of human fleets' concentrated fire attacks.

What if you have to call the garrison dominated by small goblins to play bayonets with the wolf-like Restoration Army Marines? The goblin commander who dared to think like this must have drunk too much last night, and his head has not cleared up until now.

As Luo Zhengdao greeted, the pirates rushed up to show their opponents what it means to be a high-level combat operation. Long-range artillery suppressed the enemy artillery, the mortar artillery curved bombardment cover approached, and the individual soldiers quickly dug the tunnel and placed the * bag, igniting the guide. The fire immediately retreated. After a loud bang, the blazing golden flash and the thick white smoke dissipated, and the fortresses and batteries that once spewed tongues of fire flew directly into the sky.
