"Are you sure this plan will really work out this time?" To be honest, the Seventeenth Elder didn't trust Ge Yan. Although it is the default support of the Elder Hall to cooperate with Origin, and has offered to let Origin help develop the mech, and has been acting with Origin as a partner during this time, it does not change the facts.

The fact is that An Xiaoyu and the empire are already powerful, whether on the surface or in terms of heritage, the power of the entire empire is not something that today's ten thousand races can fight against, even if the origin is added. But why did Ge Yan say that his plan could kill Da Pu Cheng and Santongmu?

And for the origin, the Seventeen Elders have always reserved an attitude. The closer it got to the origin, the more it felt that the origin was not in harmony, and the attitude of the Hong people was too extreme in addition to its will. Some people are willing to believe in the origin, but they always feel that the origin is not a big deal, while the other side blindly resists and feels that the origin is not on the table.

With such an attitude, it is difficult for the Hong people to really see the true face of the origin hidden under the mask, and the true purpose hidden in the heart. The Seventeen Elders were unable to persuade the other Elders, and even because of their status, they could not speak too much about the matter of origin in the Hall of Elders.

But it has always regarded this as its real mission. What to supervise the origin of the research and development of mechas, to provide help and support to the origin, these are just handy. Its task is to prevent the origin from making small moves behind the scenes, and if there are any bad intentions, it will be discovered in time and contained immediately.

Therefore, when Ge Yan was very confident in telling it that the first step of the invasion of the Eastern Wilderness had been successful and had been hidden, and when it was time to find the opportunity to win, the Seventeen Elders were skeptical. In its opinion, although the mecha is strong, it is also aimed at ordinary human soldiers and people of the lower races.

If you want to kill Da Pu Cheng and Santongmu, you need more than one master? Elder Seventeen couldn't help but say, "Don't look at the fact that the 12,000 people of the Eastern Wilderness Army can kill elder-level masters, there must be An Xiaoyu's means behind it." What's more, we only sent more than a thousand mechas, and maybe they are not as good as the 12,000 Eastern Wilderness Army. ”

Ge Yan was not angry, but said with a smile: "Seventeen Elders, of course I know how many catties and taels our mecha has. But I'm going to correct your concept, not everything has to be analyzed from the perspective of combat effectiveness. If this is the case, then there is no fact that 10,000 people have killed the real realm, what does this mean? ”

"What does it mean?" The Seventeenth Elder asked in a deep voice.

It shows that in the battle with humans, combat effectiveness is only one consideration. If you look at what the empire has done from the beginning to the present, how much of it has directly improved combat effectiveness? No. What they are doing is all about morale, situation, economy, and so on. All, combat effectiveness alone does not mean absolute odds of victory. Of course, I'm not saying that combat effectiveness doesn't count. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the troops determines victory on the battlefield, but what is the current situation? The current situation is that both of you are in an ambiguous situation, and there is no formal large-scale conflict between the two sides. But what did you both do? Since the beginning of the war, the empire has been planning things on the battlefield, whether it is eradicating our origins, reforming the army, or developing mechas, and more importantly, cultivating An Xiaoyu. These are the geniuses of the Empire, but unfortunately you don't see them at all. ”

The Seventeenth Elder's eyes flickered, but the doubts and resentment in his heart all dissipated, it thought for a moment, sat down and picked up the teacup, and asked, "Then you can tell me, where is the wisdom of the Empire's means?" ”

Ge Yan smiled and said without hesitation: "The wisdom of the empire lies in two points, one is to know oneself and know the other, and the other is to adapt measures to the time and make up for weaknesses. ”

"First of all, you must know that all the plans of the empire have a basis. In the beginning, the empire completely stabilized its borders, and all it did was build the Great Wall and clear the members of our organization. So why did the empire succeed? Because the empire quickly analyzed the characteristics of the hidden insects, they are good at night sneak attacks, but if they are detected in advance, it will be useless, so the role of the Great Wall is reflected. Then, using the deterrence of the Great Wall, the Empire calculated us, separated us from the outside world, and forced us to leave the Empire through the Great Wall. What does this mean? It shows that the empire is known to us, the empire's plans, everything is based on the right information. The people of the empire are very smart, they have a complete system of information collection, screening, and analysis, even if you give them false information, they can quickly distinguish it, and even use the false information. Later, when the empire occupied the northern border, it also learned about the depression within the Wan races, and even saw through the discord between the eastern and western races. At the beginning, the extradition of the border races was only to lay the foundation for cooperation with the eastern races. The same is true when attacking Rokuyama, although you used the smoke of the greedy wolf, but you did not know that the smoke of the greedy wolf could be integrated with other combustible gases, and it would also mask the color and taste of the combustible gas, so you were blown up in the mountain. It can be seen that the Empire's control of information has made them almost invincible, and if you don't see through this, you will always be led by the Empire, especially in such a situation. ”

"Secondly, we need to analyze what the situation is today." Ge Yan said seriously: "The current situation is not achieved overnight. This is also the cognitive misunderstanding of your races, because your lifespan is too long, and the bloodline hierarchy is too strict, so you can't feel the changes of the times. For you, a thousand years is a thousand years, and even if there is a Great Depression every thousand years, you still don't feel that the times are changing, and you don't feel that you should have made much progress. But human beings are different, human beings have a very short lifespan, and a number of people die every year. Therefore, human society is constantly progressing and racing against time. A hundred years is still changing, let alone a thousand years? You have to know that the current strength of the empire is the combat power that you value, on what basis? Is the Empire's combat power based on cultivators? No, otherwise 10,000 years ago, all races would have been extinct. It was precisely because he realized that it was impossible to achieve the final victory by relying solely on the cultivation world, and the Three Thousand Emperors realized that they should start a war to rejuvenate the country with science and technology, and it took nine thousand years to hide the snow in the cultivation world, what is happening now? The Empire's mecha units are already higher in combat effectiveness than the regular teams of the alien race. This is one of the most clever strategies of the empire, adapting to the situation and making up for the weaknesses. Using human ingenuity and self-improvement to create another kind of combat power to replace the original combat power is still going on today. Maybe you don't understand, but I can give you an example, from the first days when the empire was established by relying on spears and bows, to the later invention of guns, guns, guns and powder, and then these weapons continued to increase their power, and then mecha appeared. This is just a superficial process, and it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of human beings is constantly improving, and what about the information warfare we talked about before? Do you know how much information has been collected, analyzed, and screened in the Empire? Are there any new ways to gather information? Otherwise, why do you think you have been led by the nose by the Empire? Didn't you find a way to counter the Empire? That's because every time you find a way to counteract, you will always be defeated by the new means of the Empire! It only takes three days for humans to figure out a solution, and it takes three years for you. Three years! The war has long been fought! ”

The more the Seventeen Elders listened, the more frightened they became, because of the question of their position and way of thinking, it had never thought of these key points. The alien race always likes to attribute the success or failure of the battle to the strength of our side and the cunning of the other party, and has never specifically analyzed what is powerful and what is cunning.

So Ge Yan asked, "What does it mean to be powerful?" According to the saying of all races, if the individual is strong, is it considered strong when gathered together? Yes, this kind of strength is indeed very powerful, but can this kind of strength keep you strong? So what is cunning? Is it cunning to use stratagem? This kind of cunning is too cunning. True cunning is the ability to make a scheme give rise to a new scheme when it is used; To be truly powerful is to let the original power create a higher power. And what the empire did, exactly that's what it did. You think that a thousand years is a thousand years, and when there is no war, the empire continues to progress and accumulate strength, so that it has guns and mechas. Then, when the war starts, you will only think about the power of the mecha, but you will not think about whether you can also quickly accumulate your own power like the empire created the mecha. And on the battlefield, in the face of the strength of the troops of the ten thousand races, the empire must use its own cunning, constantly analyze the fighting methods of the ten thousand races from the past battles, create new strategies, and endlessly trap you. And when you both acquiesce to the ambiguity between the two sides, the empire is also constantly encroaching on your territory and dividing your forces, and you still think that as long as internal stability is restored, you can fight back. The empire has changed three routines a month, and your side doesn't change it once a year, so you still think that the alien race is stronger than the empire in such a war? In my opinion, such an idea is naïve. What the empire did, whether it was occupying the northern territory and splitting the east and west, or Shaozun's recent calculation of gaining the upper hand, was all based on the times. According to the situation of each time, it is different to calculate you in a different way, and use your strengths to attack your weaknesses, and you just think about defending and counterattacking, but you don't know how to defend next time, only knowing that things came out and suddenly realizing that we could have done this, and we don't know where to fight back, and we are expecting the empire to fight you hard, is this war? ”

"Although this time you are smart enough to know that the key to attacking the Eastern Wilderness again lies in the bases of the two Yu clans and the Eastern Wilderness Army, as long as you don't attack the tribe of the Eastern Wilderness, An Xiaoyu will not slaughter again, but that is also the old method born from the last experience, will An Xiaoyu be defenseless? Even if you choose to let the mechs attack, I don't think you realize the real key to this fight. ”

"The Eastern Wilderness is An Xiaoyu's territory, the Eastern Wilderness Army is everywhere, and it will appear anytime and anywhere, our mecha advantage is that it can be well hidden, and its mobility is stronger, as long as it attacks a few small bases, it can get enough energy furnace supplies. But the disadvantage is that there is no backup, no commander, and no way to send more troops to the Eastern Wilderness. Therefore, your idea of saying that the mecha in the front desk can't beat 10,000 Eastern Wilderness Army is fundamentally wrong, I don't plan to let these mecha and the Eastern Wilderness Army go head-to-head, and try not to let the Eastern Wilderness Army find their specific location once, this is the key to our victory. Only by ensuring this can we continue to do other things, whether it is a sneak attack on the base or the killing of the Yu clan, we are secretly watching, and we will not be directly wiped out, just like those races last time. ”

"The so-called learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses must first start from oneself. When we have no backup and supplies for mechs, the method we use is to use the same amount of high combat power and mobility to sneak up on small bases to obtain supplies, which is the most basic strategy. In response to the dilemma of not having a commander, we do not collide with the established policy of the Empire. Since the Eastern Wilderness Army intends to search for the whereabouts of the mecha, then we will do something from outside the Eastern Wilderness Army. Especially in the killing of the Yu clan, what you said is really good, it is indeed impossible for these thousand mecha to beat the Yu clan in the real realm, but why don't we do it from other aspects? If I'm not mistaken, An Xiaoyu must have discovered the existence of the Yu clan by now, she is a divine cultivator, she knows these primeval secrets very well, and the background is particularly profound, the first time she discovers the Yu clan, An Xiaoyu will definitely send the Yu clan to the imperial capital. And at this time, the Eastern Wilderness Army must think that all our battlefields are above the battlefield conflicts and sneak attacks of the troops on both sides, but what about us? It is possible to sneak into the imperial capital. As long as you find the location of the Yu clan and reveal the existence of these two guys, think about it, it is the imperial capital! The Eight Great Imperial Clans are famous, and the ordinary people in the imperial capital know that the Yu Clan is by their side, so isn't it as panicked as the ordinary races on your side suddenly found An Xiaoyu sitting on the mountain next to their ancestral land? When the time comes, the imperial capital will be in chaos, and the empire will definitely come up with a way, either to transfer them or to limit their power, and then our opportunity will come. As for the Eastern Wilderness, as long as we succeed in killing the Yu Clan, wouldn't it be over if we just blew up a few large bases for her? Anyway, the mechs themselves can't come back. ”

The Seventeenth Elder pondered for a long time to digest Ge Yan's words, but in the end, he found a huge loophole, and he couldn't help asking, "The mecha we sent over are all mechas, how can we sneak into the imperial capital without being discovered by the empire?" It's simply impossible, right? ”

Ge Yan smiled: "Seventeen Elder, don't you think that what I've been studying in the factory all these days is a type of mecha?" You have to know that the mecha is not a living being, it can be split, as long as all the mecha fixed structure model is the same, what do you want to assemble it into, and it is not with the design drawings to decide? ”

Elder Seventeen was stunned.

And in the crypt of the Eastern Wilderness, such work is going on. The alien mechs have stored the stolen energy furnace in the deepest part of the crypt for replacement. The rest of the time, they did not emerge from the crypt, but in the crypt, they began to split the mecha according to the design and drawings in the computer.

The disassembled parts, the first part of which was assembled into a new mecha, with the alien crystal nucleus and the energy furnace as the core, formed a spider-like entity, a total of ten. The remaining large quantities of parts were reassembled on the other side.

When night fell, these palm-sized pillar mechs quietly burrowed out of the crypt and emerged from the sand, like ordinary sand spiders, quickly crawling on the yellow sand. And their target is the Donghuang train line in the distance.

Ten spider mechs stood on the sand dunes, looking at the night in the distance, hidden in the high places of the dunes, like silent corpses. The silent night went on and on, until a faint whistling sound was heard in the distance, and a few spider mechs moved slightly, their red eyes looking at the other side of the train line, waiting for them to enter the Empire's means of transportation.

Finally, the train came to them. The hydraulic legs of the ten spider mechs flicked lightly on the sand dunes, and they turned into ten black shadows and catapulted in the direction of the train line. And when they landed above the train line, a long train of carriages flew by.

The sound of the spidertron falling on the hull of the train was not even louder than the sound of the wind passing by, and it didn't attract anyone's attention at all. They were able to grasp the iron shell of the train tightly with the magnetic attraction on their feet, and slowly moved into the gap between the carriages.

In this way, without anyone knowing, ten aliens quietly took the train from the Eastern Wilderness, came to Dongyun, and went all the way to other provinces in the East, and even changed trains once, directly to the imperial capital. And when they arrived, it was less than a day before Da Pu Cheng and Santong Mu arrived at the emperor.

Da Pucheng looked at the residence arranged by the empire, and was a little apprehensive: "Santongmu, do you say that the empire really helps us?" ”

Santong Mu pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know if the empire really helps us. But Shaozun doesn't seem to be cheating, as long as we still believe in Shaozun one day, we can settle down in the empire one day. It's useless to think about it now, but it's better to integrate into the life of the empire as much as possible. ”
