----------
Qin Xiaobai pondered for a while.
Anwar Ibrahim, an Egyptian player, came from the North Island to borrow grain and timber for himself in order to restore the strength of Cuban, Argentinian and Pakistani players in a short period of time against the West Island. From a moral and interest point of view, he will definitely borrow it.
We must not allow the seven European and American players in the West Island to dominate this sea area, otherwise the security of the central island will be seriously threatened. There are only four players on the central island, including him and 6 Bing, Hao Zizai, and Ding, who cannot compete with the West Island alone, and the players in the North Island need to maintain a certain strength.
However, he is now considering a decisive battle with several Japanese players in Higashijima, which may be very costly. When two things come together, the problem becomes a little tricky.
After more than two days of rest, after deducting the consumption of recruiting farmers and warriors, making war rafts and small rafts, plus the grain and timber compensated by Korean players, the Qin, Hao, and Ding tribes have hoarded 10,692 units of grain, 6,678 units of wood, and some stones and silver.
Keeping half of it as a reserve on your side should be enough to fight a hard battle with the Japanese in Higashishima. The other half is lent out to support players in the North Island.
After Qin Xiaobai thought about it carefully, he said: "Okay, I will lend the surplus grain and timber resources that my friend and I have produced in the past two days to the three of them, 1,500 grain and 1,000 timber per person, which is enough to rebuild the tribe and quickly restore production and combat effectiveness." Favors are favors, and interest still has to be calculated. It will be paid off within seven days, with a daily interest of 20%, and they will pay it back on their own. I am not alone in lending these resources, so I must have a guarantor. Guarantor, it's up to you Anwar to do it. ”
Anwar was overjoyed, "Great, there are so many resources, enough for them to recover in one day!" Qin, you are really a brother, I didn't make you a friend. ”
Qin Xiaobai patted Anwar on the shoulder and laughed: "Cuban, Argentine, and Pakistani are also my brothers, and it is impossible for me not to help you." It is better for the three of them to be in the same place as you and your Iraqi brother, so that they can support each other, so that the enemy will not be able to shake your camp. Alright, you go back and bring some transport rafts and war rafts to get resources, and I'll give them to you now! ”
Anwar nodded again and again, returned to the North Island on a small raft, and then boarded the Central Island again with six players from Russia, Cuba, Argentina, Pakistan, and Iraq on five or six war rafts and a transport raft, and visited Qin Xiaobai in person to express his gratitude.
They were almost stunned when they resisted the center island. The military strength of the naval army here completely exceeds the sum of the six of them. Even the strength of the 6th Army is not inferior.
At Anwar's suggestion, the group formally formed an alliance to provide military support to each other. When the alliance was formed, Qin Xiaobai also called 6 Bing, which was regarded as a formal alliance between the two islands of the Central Island and the North Island. (Alliances require the purchase of an alliance order from the Empires value-added store.) )
After the covenant was made, Qin Xiaobai asked the barbarian soldiers to load the resources onto the transport raft, but Anwar brought too few transport rafts to fit so much.
Qin Xiaobai specially transferred four transport rafts to assist in the transportation, and also sent five additional war rafts to participate in the escort to safely transport these resources to Beidao. lest they be robbed by the way.
After all these things, the island finally fell silent again.
On the afternoon of the 10th, Qin Xiaobai continued to supervise the barbarian peasants to build war rafts and expand the naval army. With the arrival of the Burmese player Ding, the number of barbarian warriors recruited increased dramatically, and the more war rafts were needed.
It was precisely because of Ding's accession that he could directly mobilize the total number of barbarian warriors of the three tribes to 60, and the war raft could be dispatched 30 at a time - only 22 at present, and he had to continue to build them.
He put the core goal of his recent military operations on the East Island again. Naval warfare is the mainstay, so the number of war rafts plays a pivotal role.
Hao Zizai and Ding go online several times a day, and the most important task is to row a war raft to scout the East Island, find out how many Japanese players the East Island has, how many soldiers, how many farmers and how many war rafts and small rafts they have, how many new ones have been added each time, and whether they have any dealings with players on other islands in the near future.
At present, the number of war rafts cruising around the East Island is only thirteen, but it is not ruled out that there is a possibility of hiding strength, hiding more war rafts on the shore, or other reinforcements.
The atmosphere on the central island and the east island is very strange, both urgently strengthening their forces, waiting to destroy the other party, but as if nothing happened, let the other party's strength grow, looking forward to finally swallowing the opponent's army and the huge amount of resources hoarded
December 11th.
Satogi felt very uneasy. On the day of the 9th, that is, the day before yesterday, he received a battle letter from a Chinese player on the opposite island for a five-day decisive battle, and he urgently studied and discussed with Japanese professional players such as Mitoshi Ikeda, Taro Ono, Jiro Taniguchi, and Okao Fukuda.
The unanimous opinion of Ikeda, Ono, Taniguchi, Fukuda and others was that this war letter was a fraud, and that the Chinese would definitely attack in advance. So they must also attack within five days, otherwise they will be very passive.
However, they themselves were not ready to attack in a hurry. They finally decided to start early in the morning of the third day (12th), neither early nor late. The four fleets first converged on the East Island to form a coalition force, and then attacked at the same time.
But now, only two days later, Sato couldn't sit still, and in the past two days, he would ask Sanosuke to investigate the Chinese on the opposite island almost every few hours. The information obtained from the reconnaissance was very bad for him.
The Chinese raft on the opposite side has included the entire sea area into his fishing range, and there are more than thirty small rafts shuttling back and forth. Any other player who enters two or three nautical miles around the opposite island will quickly catch a small raft of fish. Some of the small rafts even openly went to the fishing grounds within a mile of his eastern island to catch fish.
Sato was so angry that he just didn't move.
These small rafts are not terrible, but what is terrible is that the three newly formed raft fleets of the Chinese are cruising back and forth on the sea, and each fleet has ten war rafts. On the surrounding islands, there is no small raft of any player who dares to enter this Chinese fishing ground and grab fish with this Chinese.
He wasn't ready for a decisive battle, and Ikeda and the others weren't ready yet, so he didn't dare to move these small rafts that crossed the line, for fear of leading a big battle in advance.
Satoki made a trip to the South Island, wanting to provoke the Australian players in the South Island to oppose this Chinese and consume part of the Chinese's strength in advance. Now as long as he can drag this Chinese, he will be lucky.
But I didn't expect to be sobered up by the Australian player, and refused, "There are many fishing grounds around me, and it's nothing if there are a few less, why should I fight with this Chinese?" If you want to fight, I will support you, but there is no need to talk about sending troops. I don't have enough soldiers on my own. ”
Satoki almost ran out of breath.
He visited five players throughout the South Island, and none of them wanted to do so. There was a Korean player who was willing, but Satogi ruled him out. This Korean actually borrowed food from him under the guise of sending troops, and he was Kaizi. Even if you have food, you can't borrow it, and who knows if you can get back the grain you lent.
Satoki's visit was fruitless, so he could only return to Higashijima and continue to think of a way.
The blatant show of force on the opposite island has brought him more and more psychological pressure, but the date of the general attack agreed with Mitoshi Ikeda is still one day away, how can this day be passed? Who can guarantee that the Chinese on the opposite side will abide by the time agreed in the war letter!?
