Looking at the entire northern ice field, under Lao Jiu's exploration for several days, there were no less than dozens of secret bases of the Russian army discovered. And what shocked Lao Jiu was that these secret bases were all built underground, and they were all used to mine caves.

From the breath left in these caves, it can be determined that these caves are left over from the mining of copper veins. In addition, in the northernmost part of the Russian Empire, there is a special group of Warcraft, which are like elves bred in the ice and snow, and the number is endless.

And these so-called ice and snow monsters have become the largest training object of the Russian Empire, which has caused the number of soldiers above level eighty in the Russian Empire to definitely reach a terrifying number, and Lao Jiu is simply speechless about this.

This is as if the system was opened to the Russian Empire alone, which made it difficult for Lao Jiu to accept it for a while. Not to mention the strength of the army, even the mines that have been mined one by one are enough to show the economic strength of the Russian Empire.

From this point of view, these real-life super empires must also have their own benefits in the game. This is like the difference between RMB players and casual players, although Lao Jiu has been working hard in the later stage, but at the beginning, Seventy-Nine dumped you don't know how many streets.

Now that I think about it, all the empires have been bland in the early stage, not because people are unwilling to be high-profile, but just to give all casual players around the world an illusion that this game is absolutely fair, so that everyone feels that everyone is on the same starting line.

From the analysis of the situation discovered by Lao Jiu in the past six months, then the entire HX Empire must not be as it appears on the surface, there must be hidden secrets and strength that can shock the world.

However, through the detection of the Russian Empire's maritime strength, Lao Jiu also discovered their true maritime military strength. There are more than a hundred super battleships alone, and these super battleships are not ordinary warships, they are real steel warships.

As far as Lao Jiu knows, even HX has not built a steel battleship at present, for other reasons, mainly because of the power drive of the steel battleship. Until this problem is solved, the speed of the steel battleship will become the biggest disadvantage of his dominance at sea.

After a few days of hidden observation by Lao Jiu, it was found that the Russian Empire's method of driving warships still relied on manpower, but the strength of these personnel driving warships was all above level 80, and the personnel were about 5,000!

After learning that the Russian Empire has not mastered the advanced drive technology, Lao Jiu has been a lot more relieved, if the Russian Empire is mastering the power black technology of Atlantis, then it will definitely be a huge threat to the Easy Empire.

After having a certain understanding of the military strength of the Russian Empire, Lao Jiu's mood became very solemn. After quietly leaving the territory of the Russian Empire, Lao Jiu planned to go to the M Empire again in person, and also reconnoiter the specific military strength of the M Empire.

However, Lao Jiu's idea was good, but he received an urgent summons from Long Sifeng, and he had no choice but to return to the Imperial City first.

"What's so in a hurry?" Just arrived at the conference room, Lao Jiu found that in addition to Long Sifeng, Baili Piaoxue and Zhu Erpang were there.

"There's a problem with the dealer!" After seeing Lao Jiu, Long Sifeng said directly and seriously.

"What's wrong with the dealer? Does anyone dare to destroy the fertile land or what? Lao Jiu said with a frown.

"You've been throwing around in other empires for so long, haven't you noticed any problems?" Long Sifeng frowned and said.

"I'm basically going to no man's land, or it's a military land, so you might as well just say what's wrong." Lao Jiu said with a frown.

"I'll tell you!" At this time, Zhu Erpang interjected, "There has been a rare drought this year, famine has begun in countless places, many dealers have begun to die in large areas, and the price of grain in other empires has begun to increase exponentially. ”

"I don't know why this happened all of a sudden, but in just one month, there was a large area of death in the fields we invested, and the grain production was seriously affected."

"And many empires have failed to harvest in the previous season, and have begun to end the foreign grain trade. Take, for example, the vegetables we grow ourselves. The radish that used to be three feet long is now only palm-long, and the potatoes held in both hands look like a baby's fist. ”

"A lot of the greens have dried up and died in the ground, and if we hadn't found it earlier, we would have lost even more. Originally, there were complete water conservancy projects in the fertile land, but as time went on, we found that the water source was gradually decreasing. ”

"In this way, I also really realized the seriousness of the problem, so I wanted to see if there was anything you could do? If it drags on like this, I'm afraid that our investment this year will be completely wasted! ”

"How can it be so serious? What about the other empires? Lao Jiu asked with a confused face.

"Through the food sales, it seems that this is a disaster that has swept the whole game, and those empires that have harvested in two seasons have almost no harvest in the previous season!" Baili Piaoxue said beside him, "And the price of grain and vegetables has increased more than tenfold today, and this is still priceless!" ”

"What are the main causes of these disasters in our empire?" Lao Jiu asked with a frown.

"Mainly concentrated in the original territory of the Stick Empire and the Chao Empire, the fertile land we rebuilt over there, because it was planted in the first year, so there was a lot of demand for land and water, and now with the great drought in the world, the most dealers have died." Zhu Erpang said.

"At present, the best is the North and South Boundary River, because of the fertile land and abundant fresh water resources, so the agricultural base of the North and South Boundary River has been the least impacted. However, the water level of the North and South Boundary Rivers has dropped by more than three feet in just one month. ”

"Other than that, there are no problems within the empire, and the dealer is even better than in previous years, which is completely different from the situation of the major empires. After our analysis, this should be related to the backflow of seawater last year, as well as the large number of demonic beasts that died. ”

"It's like after a year of fermentation, the land of those grain production bases on Xiaoyao Island has become very fertile, and after systematic automatic evolution, the reserves of freshwater resources are also very rich."

"So what we are currently worried about is the fertile land of the Stick Empire and the Chao Empire. If there is no other effective and feasible way, I think our investment in the two places this year has really been wasted. ”

"It seems that the system still leaves us a way to live!" After hearing that there was basically no impact on the empire and the north and south boundary rivers, Lao Jiu was greatly relieved, and then looked at Zhu Erpang and asked, "Erfat, what do you think is the cause of the large-scale death of grain?" ”

"Of course, there is a lack of water for irrigation, and there is a shortage of nutrients for the land!" Mi Baoer said without thinking about it.

"Therefore, it is obviously impossible to keep all the food now, so we must learn to make trade-offs!" Lao Jiu thought for a while and said, "You should have a distribution map of the agricultural production base, call it out and I'll take a look!" ”

"Okay!" Zhu Erpang responded, and immediately projected a complete agricultural distribution map, and then pointed to it and said, "Among them, the green one is the agricultural production base, and the blue one is the water source." ”

"Well, from now on, all agricultural production bases that are far away from large-scale water sources will choose to give up." Lao Jiu only glanced at it, and then said decisively.

"What? As a result, we are almost going to give up two-thirds of our agricultural production base, isn't that nothing to accompany us? Zhu Erpang exclaimed in surprise.

"If we estimate according to the situation of other empires, these agricultural production bases we have built this year may not be harvested. To prevent this from happening, we must break our wrists! Lao Jiu said in a deep voice.

"And we're almost at the limit of trying to keep the remaining one-third of our agricultural base. For the remaining agricultural production base, let Ruyu's construction team cooperate to fully mobilize fresh water resources and ensure sufficient water resources for irrigation. ”

"In addition, let Xiangxiang mobilize her forces to collect fertilizer from all the breeding farms within the empire, and then transport it to these agricultural bases as quickly as possible. Having lost so much, we have to guarantee the survival rate of the remaining third, as well as the yield! ”

"Isn't that just a matter of cost? It's not worth it at all! Baili Piaoxue said with a frown.

"No, you don't understand, food is more important than anything else!" Lao Jiu said very seriously, "Today's food prices have increased more than tenfold, and if the war starts, then food is the basic guarantee for an empire to support." ”

"If there is a bumper grain harvest in the north and south border rivers this year, I think there will definitely be people who will pay attention to it. Therefore, when the grain harvest came, let the Wolf Warrior Legion sit in the northeast city, and at the same time mobilize a million troops to defend the north and south boundary rivers. ”

"Xiao Jiu, is it as serious as you said?" Long Sifeng asked with a frown.

"I've made a lot of amazing discoveries in the past few months, and they need to be more serious than this, so we have to take precautions in advance!" Lao Jiu said very seriously.

"Oh? Haven't you been going to the South American continent for development in the past few months? I heard that even Du Jingtao has been transferred, did you discover any secrets in the South American continent? Long Sifeng asked puzzled.

"Not only the South American continent, I have been in the Russian Empire for the past month, and I have even discovered the true essence of the Russian Empire." Lao Jiu said with a wry smile, "If we really start a war with the Russian Empire, maybe it would be good to be able to protect ourselves!" ”

"What? How could the Russian Empire be so powerful? Hearing Lao Jiu say this, the three girls opened their mouths wide in shock, and they couldn't believe it.
