Sanina didn't have the courage to interrupt the daily life of the pair of witches, so she found the silk witch named Dorothy next to her and asked, only to find out that they were also discussing the issue of food.

Grain has always been a major export item for the Red Federation, with the Holy Will Empire and several chambers of commerce in West Fein and the smuggling trade in East Fein.

All official trade is handled by the trade agency under the Planning and Development Commission, while all smuggling trade is carried out by Timmy's venture trading company, which is carried out through neutral ports such as Prell City.

Timmy approached Nicole and wanted to expand the amount of food used for the smuggling trade. Her excuse is that war is about to break out, and dumping more grain at low prices on the Dawning Empire can effectively weaken the Empire's war potential by striking the economic system.

It's not just food that Timmy wants to expand, but also fabrics, ready-to-wear, and all kinds of basic household utensils, which are what Timmy calls "ammunition".

Of course, Nicole didn't agree, thinking that even if there was more amount, it wouldn't be sold directly to the other party. The Dawning Empire can control these materials and use them to support the Empire's wars. Timmy's idea was indeed to throw ammo, but instead of exploding in the Empire, it was being used by the Empire to blow itself up.

This kind of thing is naturally not something that the two people in charge can decide on the spot, and a resolution must be formed at the relevant meeting, and they are communicating in advance, but it looks more like a rehearsal for a conference battle.

Timmy suppressed his anger and patiently persuaded: "There is no empress left in the Dawning Empire, and the Empire's control over merchants cannot be as tight as before. It is entirely possible for us to use the productive forces far beyond the Empire and to cultivate in the Empire a comprador class that is only usy. ”

"It is also necessary from the point of view of accelerating the course of history. Since the last Holy War of Order, the Dawning Empire has been constantly pulling farmers out of the countryside and mountains. But that's not enough. Every sack of wheat we send over can make a farmer unable to sell food, and we are also helping the Dawning Empire complete the agricultural revolution ahead of schedule. ”

"Merchants do hoard Juqi, but the empire is now in debt of three billion jinpuer, and even the temple of commerce can't take out so much divine power currency at once, and it must be paid gradually over three years. This means that they will deflation, and if they don't monetize our goods as soon as possible, they will lose a lot. ”

In the past few years, Timmy has mastered a lot of knowledge of cosmopolitan economics after hard study, and he no longer relies on natural ability to eat in business.

But she is facing Nicole, who is more theoretically knowledgeable and knowledgeable.

Nicole shook her ponytail and said: "Comprador class, let's not talk about how inappropriate it is for you to compare our Red Union to a capitalist power that plunders and grabs super-profits, let's just talk about the Dawning Empire, although it is backward, the bourgeoisie that is bred and latent within it is not as weak as you think!"

"Didn't we regard this object as our greatest enemy in the next historical stage a long time ago? Why do you still fantasize about cultivating some comprador class? Jinpuer is not our common currency, it is the temple of commerce!"

"How much grain and daily necessities you smuggled in the past is how much money you have provided for them to invigorate the economy! This kind of behavior is essentially a betrayal of the country! It is a betrayal of the revolution!"

The horns on Timmy's head sparkled, and his voice became sharp again: "If you don't let me sell it, then give me more Jinpu ears so that I can buy more magic crystals, divine crystals, various nuclear crystals, and elemental bombs!"

Although the territory of the Red Federation has spread all over the inner and outer planes, there is still only a part of the Divine Fall Plateau and Koster in the main plane, and those magic materials that are only produced by the main plane, the Red Federation's own reserves are insufficient, so they can only rely on imports.

Magician-only products such as the Elemental Bomb are strictly controlled by the Dawning Empire, and can only be smuggled. The smuggling trade was difficult to accept barter, and the only way to use Gimpo was to use it, so a cycle was formed. How many Gimpo ears can be purchased depends on how many Gimpo ears are taken out.

Nicole slapped the table: "Do you have to buy it? There are so many in the Dragon Domain! You can go back to the Dragon Domain and help our working group speed up the revolutionary process in the Dragon Domain and grab these supplies from the Dragon Clan!"

Timmy also slammed the table: "Supporting compradors in the Dawning Empire is a capitalist power, but not directly and violently plundering the dragon clan?

The ensuing argument naturally digressed, and Sanina thought about it, and felt that it was not a smart thing to interrupt their daily routine and let them vent their remaining desire to fight on themselves. So he wrote a report on what he knew, such as the need for more magic crystals, sent it to the Planning and Development Commission through the government affairs network, told Dorothy to track the progress, and then quietly left.

After lunch in the Pantheon's cafeteria, Sanina crossed the security line and went to the Legion Council office area on the center floor of the Pantheon to join the impromptu meeting of Gambitt, Wilson, Kramer, Finn, Otto, Kane, Ralch, Captain Hook, and other military bigwigs.

In the conference room, there were only Sanina and a few assistants in charge of meeting minutes and material preparation, and all the bigwigs were hanging images on the wall, either in the headquarters of the scheduled battlefield or in the temporary communication room set up on the way to the patrol, and held meetings remotely through a special network, just like Thise, who also hung on the wall to observe the meeting.

"At present, the biggest problem is energy, if the battlefield extends to higher skies, deeper underground, or in the inner and outer planes, we must continue to expand the number of troops, especially the number of large-scale technical equipment, but our energy suddenly can't keep up. ”

"That was after that, and now I'm concerned about where the first shot will be fired. ”

"The battlefield is too complicated, the front is too fragmented...... No, once the fight starts, there is no battle line at all, the first shot or something, in fact, there is no need to care. ”

"Is the goal of capturing Valentine and completely destroying the Fortress symbolic or substantial? ”

"Depending on the actual needs and progress, let's take down those few restricted areas first, and then we can talk about a large-scale invasion of Valentine. ”

The bigwigs said things that made Sanina a little confused, and then looked at the three-dimensional perspective projected on the conference table like a galaxy, and she was even more confused.

The war that is about to break out is not a simple battle between the sky and the ground, the battlefield is three-dimensional, and it is both interrelated and relatively isolated.

The ground battlefield is only the meeting point of various battlefields, and controlling the ground is no longer enough to control the situation of the war. Only by controlling the commanding heights of the sky and the "bottoming point" of the ground can we ensure the control of the battlefield on the ground.

The underworld of East Fein is far less complex than that of West Fein, and it is not as grand and strange as the Misty Swamp, the predecessor of the Godfall Plateau, which collided with the Dark Elf Plane and the Rose Divine Kingdom.

Even so, East Fein still has the Molten Realm of West Hadlang, the Underground Desert of the Weeping Sand Sea, the Underground Stone Forest of Redstone, the Underground Labyrinth of Tangus, the Underground Swamp of Sachiton, and so on.

If it was in the old era, the underworld was isolated from the ground, because even a seventh-level forbidden spell would not be able to break the barrier between the two.

But now is a new era, any official military combat aircraft can deliver weapons with forbidden curse-level power, and there is no longer an absolute barrier between the underground world and the surface world. The ground-penetrating bomb and even the disintegration force field specially developed by the Red Alliance, the elemental bomb of the Dawning Empire are enough to connect the underground world tens of thousands of meters above the ground with the surface world, so as to connect them into a unified battlefield.

The sky is another scene, and the battlefield has expanded to an altitude of thousands of kilometers. At a height of hundreds of kilometers, several forbidden areas similar to elemental gaps or dimensional gaps have been discovered, and many of them are so large that they cannot be eliminated with existing forces.

These forbidden areas, including the Magical Storm Zone and the Forbidden Demon Zone, are like islands and reefs in the sky, and once a war breaks out, they all have considerable tactical and even strategic value.

For example, in the seventeen forbidden areas above Valentine, the Dawning Empire can hide a powerful floating fleet to meet the large-scale sky forces of the Red Alliance. Even with Micromagic Radar, the Red Union cannot determine the specific deployment of the opponent, and must control these restricted areas in order to obtain a smooth offensive line.

Similarly, there are similar forbidden areas in the high altitude of the Weeping Sand Sea, Koster and the Divine Fall Plateau, which also serves as a protective barrier and assembly position for the Red Alliance's sky forces.

The expansion of the sky and the underworld makes the war staggeringly complicated. The two sides have not done anything in the past few years, which has something to do with this. Everyone has no concept of fighting a war in such an environment, it seems that they can fight in any way, and all kinds of common sense and experience in the previous positions, fronts, front and rear are useless, and once the war starts, it will run away like a wild horse on the loose, and it will no longer be controlled.

Now both sides must fight......

The Dawning Empire must eliminate the Red Alliance, both to maintain the face and image of the goddess of order, and to preemptively address the fiercest and most hateful enemies for the coming eternal order.

In addition to fighting, the Red Federation also wants to completely overthrow the rule of the Goddess of Order by capturing Valentine and destroying the Divine Emperor Castle. The previous Divine Emperor Fort Assault Battle only solved the Empress clone of the Goddess of Order, and it was too late and did not have the strength to blow up the Divine Emperor Fort and uproot the ruling center of the entire empire.

The three-dimensional perspective of the galaxy on the desk is a battlefield composed of three dimensions, and each star is a strategic location.

"As Acting Cardinal, my main concern now is how long the war will last and how much it will expand, which will determine how we mobilize the people. ”

Tess said solemnly: "I have a hunch that this war will be protracted, and it will be longer than all the wars we have experienced since the Fergus to the Red Federation. ”

For this war is only the prelude to another, grander war, a war of mortals, a war of the gods.

"In short," said Wilson, "mobilize the Commune first, for the active forces will be able to withstand the first waves of the offensive at best." ”

The bigwigs began to divide the resources in the commune, and the atmosphere in the venue became warm.

Old Hook cut the cake on behalf of the navy, and he was a little ruthless with his knife: "The Aviator Commune, the Hunter Commune, the Mecha Commune, the Magic Cannon Commune, and the Konghai Commune are all from our navy." ”

Ralch, the leader of the air force, shouted: "It can't be said that those who can fly and can fight are all navy! At least the pilots have to leave some for our air force!"

Finn said indignantly: "Mecha Commune and Magic Cannon Commune or something, old captain, you can't hug them all with one arm! In addition to the marines, there are also army troops running on the ground!"

The smoke from Otto's body became thicker, and Kane smiled bitterly and said, "It's good that the old captain didn't pull our Hell Commune into the navy. ”
