Chapter 361: A World War Temporarily Quelled
With the sinking of the main ship of the Sunset Empire, a large number of Sunset Empire executives were buried in the sea, which made the fleet of the Sunset Empire almost lose any command transfer. As a result, the major ships began to fight on their own.
On the premise of only protecting itself, the Empire seized a rare opportunity. The two armies immediately accelerated their attacks, and with the strength of 5,000 per warship in the empire, the sun never set, could not stop the advance of the free army at all.
In the face of the endless free army, the soldiers on the fleet directly chose to surrender, and only a small number of players, after seeing no hope, launched a suicidal attack. Because they know very well that surrender has no effect on them at all.
With the slogan of those who surrender is shouted, the army of the Empire of Freedom rode the wind and waves all the way, quickly capturing the main ships of the Empire on which the sun never sets. And all the NPC troops who surrendered were pressed onto the accompanying warships.
And all the weapons and equipment of their bodies were confiscated by the Easy Empire, and they became truly defenseless. By the time dawn came, the fleet of the Empire on which the sun never set had completely lost its resistance power.
Nearly two million soldiers, nearly a million surrendered, and the rest were all killed! And for those players who are loyal to the empire on which the sun never sets, they are all dead. At this point, the era of the empire on which the sun never sets is basically over.
Under Lao Jiu's calculations at the beginning, the last hope of the Sun Never Set Empire was almost all buried in the Seven Immortals Islands. And Lao Jiu captured more than 90 million people of the Sun Never Set Empire, with more than 10 billion materials.
And these more than 90 million people who never set the sun are basically young men and women, because they are the future of the empire on which the sun never sets. However, now all of them have fallen into the hands of Lao Jiu, and they were sent by Lao Jiu and directly escorted to the Easy Empire.
For these ordinary NPCs, Lao Jiu did not rush to kill them all, but left them a way to live. Because there are still a lot of untapped resources in the Easy Empire, and these young men and women are almost the best laborers.
Whether it is planting and breeding, or building and mining, these people are the cheapest labor. With the value created by these NPCs, at least hundreds of millions of gold coins will be brought to the Empire every year.
Therefore, Lao Jiu will leave these NPCs on whom the sun never sets, and let them act as slaves. And those higher-ranking warriors are the most valuable resources above the slave market. Because their value creation far exceeds that of ordinary NPCs.
After extinguishing the last hope of the Empire on which the sun never sets, the war statistics of the Empire of Freedom this time have basically come out. Because of this war, the Empire won in the end, so the cleaning of the battlefield fell into the hands of the Empire.
And the Easy Empire also seized nearly five million sets of silver equipment and nearly two million sets of gold equipment from the entire battlefield. Of course, the silver equipment of this is almost half of the Xiaoyao Empire, and the gold equipment, the Xiaoyao Empire also accounts for one-third.
Despite this, the value of the equipment captured by the Empire also exceeded seven billion gold coins. However, almost all of these equipment are lost, and if the value of the loss of equipment is counted, then the loot obtained by the Easy Empire this time is only more than 5 billion gold coins.
Excluding the death consolation money of the Easy Empire, as well as the material consumption and equipment repair during the war, etc., in terms of money, the cashier and income of the Easy Empire are basically the same. But if you count the more than three million soldiers who died in battle, then the Easy Empire will really lose a lot this time.
At present, the Seven Immortals Islands have built a basic peripheral defense, and they are still 108,000 miles away from the real war fortress. Therefore, Lao Jiu left a large number of warrior slaves this time, ready to completely build the Seven Immortals Islands into a solid foundation.
At the same time, Lao Jiu also decided to rebuild the defense system of the Peace Islands. Now that the Empire has food and labor, he plans to focus on building a maritime military base to enhance the empire's maritime military power.
However, for Canglong Island, he still chose the original team. After all, the interests involved in Canglong Island are too huge, and he is still more cautious. After arranging the follow-up work, Lao Jiu decided to go back to the imperial capital to rest for a while, after all, after several months of war, he was also exhausted.
However, when Lao Jiu returned to the imperial capital, an explosive news spread throughout the game in an instant. That is, the African Union and the Australian Union suddenly tore up the peace treaty, directly destroyed the Philippine Empire in the opposite hand, and forcefully divided all the territory of the Philippine Empire.
This allows the African Union and the Australian Union to take deep roots directly in the endless sea! And the outbreak of this incident also made the Russian Empire strongly wary of the North American alliance. Under the pretext of the end of the war, the North American alliance was forced to withdraw from the territory of the Russian Empire.
And this is of course unwilling to accept this for the North American alliance, so that the situation on both sides begins to be turbulent, and it seems that war may break out at any time. This is a bit of Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou, Harlem Island, which has been operated by the North American Alliance for so long, definitely does not want to return it to the Russian Empire now.
However, due to the recent losses of the Russian Empire, they did not tear their faces with the North American alliance, and the two sides can do this on a daily basis. This makes the major empires waiting for the situation on both sides to deteriorate, and it is difficult to sleep with anxiety almost every day.
However, these things have nothing to do with the temporary Loose Empire. After the withdrawal of the African Union and the Australian Union, the millions of troops stationed on the south coast of China also directly withdrew to the Xiaoyao Empire.
At the same time, after the suppression of the Russian Empire by China, the route of the border city wall in China was finally preliminarily decided. So far, there is no Mongolian Empire, and the current territory of China has directly incorporated the original Mongolian Empire, the Korean Empire, and the Bangzi Empire.
The construction of the border walls was based on the borders of these empires. In addition, the empire of the sun never sets under the attack of Huaxia was directly named "Tianmen Island" by Huaxia! The implication is that China is the gateway to the world!
After the victory of this siege of the major empires, Huaxia was completely established and its unbreakable position in the game. And the long war finally made all the empires begin to enter a dormant period.
In order to reflect the cooperative relationship between Huaxia and the Xiaoyao Empire, after the war, Huaxia did not occupy the territory outside the Qilin Pass again. Instead, it was directly and openly admitted that the territory north of Qilin Pass and the boundary river between the north and south was completely owned by the Xiaoyao Empire.
That is to say, in addition to the original territory of the Mongol Empire, China did not take an inch more than the land in the north. To a certain extent, isn't this a mockery of other imperial alliances? It even aroused the jealousy of many empires, claiming that China was hypocritical.
Lao Jiu can be said to be the one who cares least about public opinion, and he never cares about public opinion in the outside world. Because all he really cares about is his own interests. If even the most basic interests cannot be preserved, then what is the point of caring about those public opinions.
Compared to other empires, the consumption of the Empire is almost negligible. Because with the outbreak of the world war, to the present true cultivation. The other empires fought for more than a year, and both food and supplies were almost exhausted.
Only the Xiaoyao Empire has only been fighting for more than three months, which is only a drop in the bucket for the Xiaoyao Empire, which has been secretly developing for several years. Not to mention the homeland of the Empire, it can be said that there is no breath of war at all.
Seeing that the year is about to pass again, and after nearly a year of vigorous development, the economy of the Xiaoyao Empire is also developing steadily, especially in heavy industry and light industry. In the north of the Empire, heavy industry was the main focus.
At present, the refining of various ores and the processing of equipment are almost all built in the north of the empire. In the south, it is mainly based on light industry. Like the usual daily necessities, clothing and so on. After more than half a year of development, in addition to self-sufficiency, there is still a lot of surplus that can be exported.
In addition to the industry, the most developed areas of the Empire are agriculture and animal husbandry. In this food-based game world, the Empire has built a large area of arable land, and this year's food reserves alone are enough for the entire empire to eat for three years.
The breeding of animal husbandry ensured the supply of meat within the empire. In this way, the entire Empire of Freedom is a real empire in the game. Development hardly has to be worse than any empire.
With the continuous development of the land resources of the Xiaoyao Empire, a large number of ore veins have been discovered under the permafrost in the north, which further enhances the heritage of the empire and makes the Xiaoyao Empire have the foundation of a super empire.
Although the war stopped, the material consumption of the entire empire was still high due to a large number of reconstruction projects in the Chinese Empire. In order to improve the defense of the entire empire before the outbreak of the next war, the Chinese side also had to start purchasing materials from abroad.
Of course, their preferred object is the Loose Empire with limited consumption. For other empires, I don't know the background of the Xiaoyao Empire, but the Chinese Empire is very clear. It wasn't until this time that Lao Jiu understood.
Why would the Huaxia Empire be so generous and give it to the territory outside the Xiaoyao Empire. Because of this incident, Lao Jiu, who was unwilling to sell materials, had to supply one billion tons of grain to the Chinese Empire.
And these billion tons of grain are not only whole grains, but also meat and vegetables. This also has to make Lao Jiu sigh, Jiang is still old and spicy! It seems that on top of all kinds of calculations, he is still too far behind the other party!
When this world war, which lasted for more than a year, had just subsided, and Lao Jiu was still washing his fatigue in the imperial capital, there was a big news from Canglong Island, which made Lao Jiu's whole person directly resurrected with full blood, and rushed to Canglong Island that night.
