It is said to prepare the hole cards.

In fact, it is only a matter of increasing armaments and training an elite unit that will be taken by surprise.

Some medium-sized countries in the West have done the same.

After all, they don't have the same background as the big countries like Gangti City, and they don't even have a few high-ranking mages, let alone higher war types and star mages, so instead of pursuing those illusory things, it is better to improve the strength of the army.

In particular, training a special forces unit can work wonders at critical times.

That's what Vega has to prepare.

However, compared to some medium-sized countries, the Jialan Empire also has a war airship manufacturing industry.

This is something that other medium-sized countries do not have, and their war airships need to be imported from the big powers, which in turn carry out strict quantitative control work on them to prevent the medium countries from threatening the status of the great powers.

The Air Force is a highly mobile force.

Vega therefore ordered that the bulk of military spending be tilted towards the war airship manufacturing as far as the economy allowed.

Before the war came, he had to pull up a large number of air forces to ensure his air supremacy.

In terms of political matters, Vega was handed over to Ilo, the training of the special forces was handed over to the intelligence minister, and the centralized training of the large army was handed over to Tanil Rheinberg, while he himself was preparing his own hole cards.

This hole card is his personal strength.

It's not so much about hole cards as it is about preparing for a retreat in advance.

After the first few battles, Vega has realized the power of the Star Shadow Mage.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this world he has only a handful of opponents, and the only two types of war that can deal with him are also in his hands.

But that's not enough.

Vega was not as optimistic as he imagined, because the world was so big that he didn't have the confidence to survive the defeat of the war just by virtue of his current strength.

Or rather.

He wasn't sure he would be able to keep Thea safe and survive at the same time.

Therefore, improving personal strength is the hole card and retreat that Vega prepared for himself, and it is also the capital of the comeback after the defeat of the war.

The improvement of strength does not blindly rely on rank.

Tier can only make your attacks more destructive, or have a stronger endurance, and the real ability to maximize the transformation of combat power in war is inevitably to return to high-level magic and high-level combat skills.

There is no force in the air, and there is no corresponding combat skill and magic.

In the end, he will only be like the Holy Rank Dragon Envoy of the Holy Dragon Country, who has no power to resist in front of his Holy Rank Battle Technique, and if the Holy Rank Dragon Envoy also controls the Holy Rank Battle Technique, then it will be a different situation.

Need to know.

So far, Vega has not mastered shadow magic above one star level.

The loss of astral magic is one aspect, and the other is because Vega didn't pay a huge price to find it.

The World Coalition is back in action, and it could be a life-and-death battle.

In order to improve his strength to cope with the next war, or to create a way out, Vega poured a lot of resources to Mennonite half a month ago, ordering him to increase his efforts to find high-level shadow magic.

It's different from the previous petty fights.

This time, Vega was real, so he gave Mennonite considerable authority to launch a vigorous search in the vast territory of the Jialan Empire.

For a rainy day.

In addition to preparing for war in the coming year, like Western countries, Vega directly convened the first pre-war meeting when there was still more than half a year to go before the second year.

It may seem a little premature.

Because autumn will begin in three months, and autumn will be followed by winter, at least the nations will not be able to complete preparations for war within this year, and will not launch a full-fledged attack until the end of next spring at the earliest.

That's nine months to go.

For such a long time, why should the first pre-war conference be held at this time?

Because Vega has realized the sense of crisis.

He asked the people sitting below: "In the coming year, all the countries of the world will jointly attack our Jialan Empire, and the preliminary estimated time is the late spring period, although it is still a long time, but I think it is better to prepare for war sooner rather than later, what can you do to counter it?"

Vega set his eyes on the crowd.

Since it was the first meeting, which was mainly seeking a grand strategic approach, no other high-ranking officials were invited, and only the most central and far-sighted members were invited.

So you can see.

The Rhea sisters stood behind Vega, Thea and Habitat sat first on the left and right, followed by Iro, Tanil Rheinberg, Haussmann Christian and others, in addition to Mennono's absence due to special missions.

After Vega finished speaking.

Tanil Rheinberg, who has been wholeheartedly loyal to the Jialan Empire and regards the Jialan Empire as his motherland, was the first to offer his opinion, and his opinion was as extreme as ever: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, it is better to sit back and wait for death, than to take the initiative." ”

Tennier's style of warfare tended to be aggressive.

As the most influential general in the Old Kingdom, the style of the Old Kingdom's large and small battles is almost the 'Tenniel' style, in which it is to take the initiative to attack the empire in the case of internal and external troubles, or to start a multi-front war against the dynasty, it was obviously his suggestion at that time.

In his idea of war.

The weaker you are, the more you have to take the initiative, only in this way can you have a chance of survival, otherwise you will just sit back and wait.

"What do you think?"

Vega only asked symbolically.

No one answered this question, because there were only three people in the military field present: Vega, Tanier, and Hausman.

Ilo is in charge of political affairs, he is a representative of the Shoucheng faction, and he will never interfere or speak out in areas that he is not good at, as for Xiya, needless to say, she neither understands military affairs nor political affairs, which is why she works day and night to improve her personal strength.

Qi Lisi didn't interject either.

Although she has a strong sense of the big picture, military affairs are not her area of expertise, and her main task is internal, not external. Therefore, in addition to national politics, she is in charge of intelligence and clamps down on officials of all sizes in the entire Jialan Empire.

So Vega finally set his sights on Haussmann Christian.

As a rebel general of the Empire, he has undoubtedly proven his loyalty to the Garlan Empire after completely tearing his face with the Empire in the Empire's rebel war, and coupled with his talent, Vega is very much looking forward to his proposal.

Haussmann didn't sell off.

He understood his situation, and if the Jialan Empire was over, he seemed to have no way out but to die.

Therefore, it is no longer a matter of eating and waiting for death, but it is a matter of him possibly going directly to death without even eating, and at this time he understands that he must use all his resources to help the Jialan Empire tide over the difficulties.

So this meeting, he and Tanniel only gave a rough strategic direction.

Haussmann Christian came up with a very detailed battle plan and handed it over to Vega.
