306 Economic disruption
On June 15, the parliamentary meeting of the Xiaobai Alliance ended, and more than 2,000 councillors passed the resolution of "sending troops to Zhangye and fighting horses", and Wuwei County entered the stage of full mobilization.
During the 15th~20th period, almost all villages began to fully mobilize, encouraging warriors and players to bring weapons and equipment and "medicine" to assemble into an army and prepare to participate in the battle.
Where there is a player village, there is a small white alliance alliance village, and where there is a small white alliance village, there are player warriors who are about to go on an expedition. Large and small villages, full of passionate warrior players. They put down their work and rushed to the assembly area from all over the country, gathering into a huge army.
Countless players are shouting about this war, "Brothers of Wuwei, it's time to fight for the hard work we once put in." Show the sharp weapons we have been sharpening for years, and make the whole world tremble! "Expedition ——!"
In a deep mountain canyon, a girl is tying a red ribbon for her lover who is about to go on an expedition, and whispers affectionately: "Ah Bad, you must be a hero!" ”。 The tall warrior "changed for you", carrying a big sword, looked at his girlfriend, "Ah Zhen, when I come back, I will be famous all over the world." ”
The warrior's eyes were full of confidence. An intermediate sword spectrum, practicing swords in this canyon for two years, has broken through the highest realm of lv9 level of the sword spectrum. Each level of swordsmanship increases, the power will increase by one point, and when you practice to the highest level of lv9, you will be transformed into a realm. Every ordinary sword move can exert the most powerful power in his hands that is almost perfect. Among the players in the whole world, there are not many who can cultivate a sword book to the highest level of lv9. Although, it's just an intermediate sword book.
Under the girl's gaze, the warrior left the canyon without looking back and walked towards the journey.
In the reckless Gobi in the north, a group of five light cavalry rushed towards Wuwei City at an astonishing speed, "Drive!" Haha, Xiaobai summoned Wuwei to go to Zhangye, now is the time for my five desert tigers to be born! Brothers, let's kill the Huns in the desert for a whole year, and now go to Zhangye to play with horses for a while. Let the heroes of the world know the majesty of our five desert tigers! ”
The leader shouted, and the four people who followed behind the leader player shouted, "Big brother, what is the player in Zhangye, let's kill him in Zhangye." Drive! "Yes, look at their bones, whether they are hard or not!" , the sword in his hand danced wildly, and he was full of spirit.
Their leather armor was tattered, their weapons were blunt, they didn't have the best equipment, but they had the skills to fight a hundred battles, and the wild and unbridled killing aura in them was enough to terrify any opponent.
From the Qilian Mountain glacier and snowy plateau area with snow all year round in Wuwei County to the Tengger Desert area in the north; From the vast plain oasis area in the central part of Wuwei, to the mountains and valleys in the south, the lush forest edge area, and the lake area; From the grassland area with endless water and fertile grass, to the arid mountains and plateau Gobi areas where the mountains and rocks are "naked" and "exposed", and it is difficult to cultivate.
Those player elite warriors who were hidden in the north and south of the mountains of Wuwei County walked out of their long-dormant habitat and continued to converge towards Wuwei City.
......
The news that the Xiaobai Alliance was about to go to Zhangye County in an all-round way soon spread to Zhangye County.
Dozens of alliance leaders of Zhangye County, large and small, were immediately nervous when they received this astonishing news. Zhangye County is next to Wuwei County, and the leaders of Zhangye know that the neighbor Xiaobai Alliance of Wuwei County next to it is extremely strong, but in the past, everyone did not invade each other, and there was no sense of crisis.
But suddenly knowing that the Xiaobai Alliance was coming to attack Zhangye on a large scale, the leaders of the village forces in Zhangye panicked, and they were "chaotic". The village leaders gathered and anxiously discussed what to do.
The player villages in Zhangye County that were fighting each other for territory immediately stopped fighting; Those player villages that plan to compete with nearby neighboring villages don't bother with neighboring villages right now. They are all struggling with how to deal with the overwhelming army of players in Wuwei County.
"What should I do?"
"How do I know what to do?! Under the guise of 'conquest of horse play', Xiaobai will definitely wipe out all the forces of our villages by the way and dominate Zhangye County. We can't just watch him swallow up Zhangye and be indifferent, right? ”
"What then? Beat? If you can't fight, you will have to lose the war, and after you have lost the war, you will cut the meat and sue for peace, and you will suffer a greater loss. I think it's better not to fight. ”
"Surrender without fighting, that's not too shameless. How can you raise your head and be a man in front of your brothers in the future? ”
The village chiefs of Zhangye County had an urgent consultation, but found that they could not come up with a good solution. It's not to fight, it's not to fight.
"Prepare for war, hurry up and prepare for war. In any case, it is better to be militarily prepared than not to be militarily prepared. Even if Xiaobai calls, we still have the capital to ask him for a price. "Not bad, not bad."
The villages of Zhangye County have also begun to enter the highest level of readiness and prepare for military strength.
However, Zhangye County has more than 1,400 villages, which are divided into dozens of village alliances of different sizes, which have deep grievances with each other, and there is no way to take unified action, so they can only form dozens or hundreds of villages together to strengthen their own military strength.
Some of them have a good relationship with the Xiaobai Alliance, and they don't care too much about the Xiaobai Alliance's "invasion" of Zhangye. There are those who have a bad relationship with the Xiaobai Alliance, and they are afraid that they will wake up one night and the Xiaobai army will come to the city. There are also those who have nothing to do with the Xiaobai Alliance, and they are uneasy.
There are some player villages close to Zhangye City, and the village chiefs have an idea to borrow soldiers from the city to protect themselves. Therefore, these village chiefs ran to report to the NPC leaders in Zhangye City, seeking some benefits by the way.
Village Chief: "Lord Ma, I heard that those who provide important military information will be rewarded. I don't know if it...."
The horse snorted painlessly: "Well, heavy, reward." ”
The village chief was delighted: "My lord, I received the latest news below, Wuwei Taishou Xiaobai Xing's troops are about to lead the army to attack in a big way, and I also ask my lord to prepare as soon as possible to resist the invading enemy." ”
The city lord Ma was startled, and his eyes widened: "Wuwei Taishou led his troops to fight?" Where did it hit? How many soldiers and horses came? ”
The village chief was embarrassed: "This ...... It seems that mobilization is currently underway, and no troops have yet been dispatched. ”
The horse was stunned, and Akame's anger welled up: "...... Before the enemy has sent troops, you say that he has come over, which is ridiculous. Come on, throw it out of here! ”
Two NPC guards grabbed the player village chief and threw him out of the Taishou Mansion with a "heavy" throw.
The village chief got up and "rubbed" his ass and scolded angrily, bah, Lao Tzu was kind enough to provide you with information, and he actually abused me like this, don't think Lao Tzu will help you in the future!
In the Taishou Mansion, Ma Yu paced back and forth in the hall, thinking in his heart: Okay, you Xiaobai, I couldn't kill you in Wuwei City in time last time, but I didn't expect that now I dare to take the initiative to attack my Zhangye. It just so happens that I'm going to have to give you some color to look at this time. However, Zhang Yecheng's troops seem to be a little insufficient, and it is a bit difficult to destroy Xiaobai. Conscription is mandatory. It's just that the treasury in Zhangye City's Taishou Mansion is empty, and there is no money to recruit soldiers, so the only way to get some troops from other aspects is to get some troops.
Each player village in the county has troops, and if a part of the NPC troops are requisitioned from each village to assist in the defense of Zhangye City, then the strength will be about the same.
This time, he wanted to regroup, defeat Xiaobai's invading army in one fell swoop, and set out to conquer Wuwei County and take Wuwei City.
"Come on, immediately issue a notice, all villages and towns in the county, each village and town to recruit 10~50 soldiers above level 30 to come to Zhangye City, there must be no mistake. Those who dare to disobey the order will be exterminated! ”
......
The war between the two counties did not start as immediately as players imagined, on the contrary, the Wuwei/Zhangye border line was calm and all kinds of activities were still normal. Merchant players travel between the two counties, trading the goods they need. Pedestrians were not hindered either.
June 20th.
Before the huge war machine of the Little White Alliance started, another huge machine started in advance, that is, the business machine of the Little White Alliance, the Chamber of Commerce of the Little White Alliance. The Little White Alliance has nearly 2,000 league villages, and each village has members of the Little White Chamber of Commerce, and the Little White Chamber of Commerce has become the largest player Chamber of Commerce organization in the game. In the hands of this group, there is a huge torrent of wealth in Wuwei County.
Sword Tyrant and the Xiaobai Alliance Chamber of Commerce under his leadership began to rumble into operation, planning to deal with the player village in Zhangye County.
The backbone members of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce, such as money all over the world, thousands of hands, rich armor, etc., most of them are businessmen and players from Xiaobai Town, who have been following the sword tyrant for a long time, and they have thick pockets and are extremely cunning, eating people without spitting out bones. In just a few days, they came up with a complete set of meticulous economic plans for the villages of Zhangye County. It mainly covers three aspects.
1. Economic blockade. Hundreds of finished goods that could be used in the war were forbidden to flow from Wuwei County to Zhangye County. The list of goods includes bows, guns, swords, weapons, armor and equipment, blood medicine, horses, large equipment, and so on. - Weaken the force of the villages of Zhangye County.
2. Economic disruption. The Xiaobai Alliance sent a caravan into Zhangye County to purchase raw materials and commodities including herbs, iron ore, and grain. - Raise the price of raw materials, induce players in Zhangye County to dig up raw materials such as herbs, and weaken their will to war. At the same time, the skyrocketing of raw materials will also make it difficult for the villages of Zhangye County to make blood "medicine" and weapons, and weaken the force.
3. Post-war reconstruction. The Little White Alliance gained control of the commercial trade of Zhangye County. Obtain raw materials at low prices, sell goods at high prices, and obtain high returns to make up for the huge war expenses of this war.
Jian Ba sent this set of economic plans to Zhan Xiaobai for review, and Zhan Xiaobai took a look at it and casually approved this set of economic war plans. "Ruthless enough, the villages and towns of Zhangye County are afraid that they won't be able to turn over within a few years."
"Hey, generally. We can't afford to lose. ”
On the day of June 20th, the merchants of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce seemed to have a natural keen sense of money, and when the Xiaobai Alliance Chamber of Commerce decided to take a large-scale commercial plundering action against Zhangye County, the news spread very quickly, and almost all the businessmen of the Xiaobai Alliance knew about this operation, and frantically applied to the Chamber of Commerce to join the operation.
In terms of strength, the Xiaobai Alliance has an extremely large group of merchant players, and the wealth mobilized at one time far exceeds the strength of the opponent. Once the Chamber of Commerce takes unified action, reselling in-game goods on a large scale, and controlling price fluctuations, the plundered opponent will not have the strength to resist.
The members of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce are like a group of tiger sharks with an incredible number of them, while the scattered villages of Zhangye County are like big whales waiting to be slaughtered.
There is no doubt that this business action will reap amazing benefits. There was no need for any mobilization at all, and the members of the Little White Chamber of Commerce frantically asked to join the action and take a bite of the feast.
Under the trend of interests, the huge caravan of the Xiaobai Alliance was organized at an astonishing speed, and under the escort of bodyguards, it entered Zhangye County in large groups. Raise prices from various villages in Zhangye County to purchase herbs, ores, grains, etc., raise the price of raw materials, and transport a large number of purchased raw materials to villages in Wuwei County for processing into commodities.
Usually, it is cheaper to buy raw materials locally than to buy them from Zhangye County, and the freight and protection fees alone can be a lot of money.
The merchants of the Xiaobai Alliance bought raw materials from Zhangye County at a high price and brought them back to Wuwei County, not only did they not make money, but they had to burn a large amount of money. However, this is only an upfront investment. The real money is made after the occupation of Zhangye County. The finished products made from these raw materials were sold at a monopoly price in Zhangye County at a high price, earning back the money lost before in one fell swoop. There is no need to even use complicated means, just large-scale reselling, the price difference caused by the increase can earn back all the money invested in the front.
There is a premise for all this, that is, the Xiaobai Alliance has successfully controlled Zhangye County militarily. If you can't control it, it won't be so easy to "rob" the wealth of players in Zhangye County.
Now the task of the members of the Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce is to smash a large amount of copper coins into it, so that the economy of the entire village in Zhangye County will be "disordered" and deprived of their ability to continue fighting.
