Chapter 404: Landing
Although Lu Zhe's words were tough, his tone was still joking.
Du Xiaoxiao understood what he meant, if Thunder Island was taken away by the Songtian Club, his gunboats would naturally no longer hide and tuck, and they would inevitably cover Thunder Island with artillery fire.
Ray Island is just a small island after all, and it is not difficult to do that.
But Du Xiaoxiao thought about it a little more and said, "But wouldn't Daisuke Takemiya think of this?" Thunder Island is much smaller than Shenchong Island, even if they take it, they can't hold it, so why waste manpower and material resources in vain. ”
Lu Zhe smiled: "It's not easy for you to think of this, but Daisuke Takemiya and Matsuda Club have their plans." ”
"What?"
"Again, all the club's behavior, the ultimate purpose is to do it for the fans, after the Shenchong Island was taken away, the Matsuda Club has not been able to come up with any gratifying results, although it is excusable, but after a long time, it is always difficult to explain.
"This time with a crossbow boat, I originally wanted to have a fight, but it turned out to be a failure, which made Daisuke Takemiya a little unexpected, and the series of actions behind it was also a last resort."
"So, they don't hesitate to spend so much just to give fans an explanation?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.
"That's roughly the case, but there are other reasons, for example, to let the members get more actual combat training, such as this sneak attack on Thunder Island, of course Daisuke Takemiya knew that he couldn't hold Thunder Island under the threat of gunboats, but he did it anyway, the main purpose was for actual combat drills."
"Walkthrough?"
"Yes, there are dozens of gunboats on Shenchong Island, which is impregnable, although there are several occupied islands on the European side, but the road is too far to really pass, looking at the whole world, Thunder Island can provide them with this opportunity."
"But." Du Xiaoxiao was still puzzled and asked, "Why are they in a hurry to do such training?" Now that we already have crossbowboats, they are currently the strongest force at sea besides us, and they can completely occupy a few more islands, so why do you have to fight us? ”
Lu Zhe smiled: "The boss has improved. ”
Du Xiaoxiao was not convinced: "Am I not right?" ”
"Of course yes, but you're still thinking too simply."
"How?"
Lu Zhe opened the map, pointed to the location of the Japanese island, and said: "You see, the location of Japan is actually not good in the game, to the north is the Sea of Okhotsk, although the sea area is vast, but because of the absence of Russia, the islands in it have no resource value at all, to the west is the Pacific Ocean, with their current crossbowboats, although they already have a good ability to sail, but to gain a firm foothold in the Pacific Ocean, there is still a long way to go." ”
"So, they can only go south?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.
"To the south is the Philippine Sea and Southeast Asia, both strategic and resource value, are very high, the Indonesian archipelago all the way to the Australian mainland, the marine resources are simply drooling, if you can, everyone wants to get involved in this area, but ......"
"But we got ahead of it." Du Xiaoxiao interrupted.
Lu Zhe nodded: "That's right, we lost Shenchong Island as a springboard, and went to sea directly from the Japanese mainland, the route was too far, and there was a lack of stops in the middle, and the most important thing was to guard against our attacks." ”
"Suddenly I feel like a big demon king." Du Xiaoxiao said proudly.
Lu Zhe said with a smile: "So, it's not that the Matsuda Club doesn't want to open up maritime territory, in fact, they must be doing this kind of thing in private, occupying some small islands is inevitable, and the waters between South Korea should also make some moves, but, it is estimated that it is nothing more, in the case that the ships can't compete with us, they can't hold the islands if they occupy them, and the things they build will only cheapen us in the end, and Daisuke Takemiya is not stupid, so naturally he won't do it with fanfare." ”
Du Xiaoxiao nodded: "No wonder, I thought the first thing they should do was to occupy those islands that are disputed with South Korea." ”
"This will not be for the time being, Matsuda and Sanxin are currently in the cooperation period, which is not beneficial to both parties."
"They cooperate to deal with us...... Du Xiaoxiao somehow turned out to be a little proud.
"It's not a good thing, it's a situation I didn't want to happen, but it was inevitable in the end, but it's good to be able to drag on until now." Lu Zhedao.
"In that case, don't we have to defend Mine Island?" Du Xiaoxiao had a whim.
"Of course not, can't keep it and don't keep it are two different things, if you don't care, other players in the country in the future, who will help us defend the island? Islands and cities are different, the latter is more focused on organized and commanded tactical operations, but the former still has higher requirements for numbers, even in the later stage, it is difficult for us to hold the island on our own. ”
"I see."
"Another point, the Matsuda Club is training their people to land on the island to fight, and we can also train our own people to actually act in the island defense battle, in this period, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"That's right." Du Xiaoxiao nodded.
While the two were talking, Yingxiao's guild's movements did not stop for a moment.
All the contracted players went out en masse, and there were also 2,000 guild members who went to Thunder Island under the leadership of Du Xiaoxiao, not counting those guild players and other domestic players who went on their own.
For a time, the small Thunder Island was full of storms.
The tactics of the Matsuda Club are actually simple, that is, to use constant harassment as a cover, but secretly send a large group of men and horses to Ray Island.
The effect is obvious.
It wasn't until they arrived in the East China Sea, dozens of kilometers away from Thunder Island, that the Ying Xiao Guild found out.
Fortunately, because Thunder Island is close to the mainland, the flight time is not long, and there is a certain amount of time for people to rush to help, but the gunboats far away on Shenchong Island have no time to come.
As the owner of the island, Su Ying was the first to arrive at Thunder Island.
The owner is the only player who can teleport directly to their own island, but this also has a premise, normal teleportation has a cooldown of 24 hours, but when someone clicks on the stele, this skill immediately ends the cooldown, which is also to prevent someone from speculating on the island.
The Hidden Sword of the Horse was the first batch of support players to arrive on Thunder Island, and before that, there were only a few dozen idle players from the Yingxiao Guild doing tasks here.
Without waiting for the team led by Du Xiaoxiao to arrive, the fleet of the Matsuda Club had already approached the shore of Thunder Island, ready to land.
The vanguard led by Xima Zangjian was only about 200 people, and there were not many Japanese players who relied on the speed advantage of crossbow boats to land in the first batch, it was estimated that there was only about half a regiment, and the number of people on both sides was not much different.
"How?" Du Xiaoxiao received a call for help from the horse and the sword, and turned her head to ask Lu Zhe.
"Why don't you try to command it yourself, boss?" Lu Zhe said with a smile.
