Chapter 70: Preparing for War
This is aristocratic cruelty.
Looking at the girl who was trembling next to him, Qin Feng didn't know what to say.
The little girl was only six or seven years old, and she didn't know why her father and brother were giving her away. Looking at Qin Feng in front of her, her eyes showed fear, and she unconsciously hid behind her brother.
Alice stepped forward and squatted down, she took the little girl's hand, and out of nowhere took out a blue and gold bracelet, and put it into the little girl's hand under the surprised gaze of Sidde's brother.
As the heir to the lord of the future territory, he has naturally seen blue gold and knows its value.
"Little sister, don't be afraid. Play with your sister for a few days, and if you want to go home, your sister will send you back, okay? Alice's words made the little girl lean out half from behind her brother and asked, "Really?" β
"Hmm." The faint maternal aura of Alice made the little girl gradually let go of her fear.
"And there's a little girl like you, you can play together." The girl of the Tours family, who was pledged last time, followed her back to the territory of Boshi this time.
Qin Feng, who originally wanted to refuse, stopped speaking when he saw this scene, and nodded at the young man--- that is, Citdesse's brother.
"When did you come here?" Qin Feng asked his doubts, Citex's father, Odedor, should not know that he would come over at this time, and in terms of the distance between the two territories, it was impossible to reach it in such a short time.
"In order to prevent the danger caused by the breach of the territory, my father sent everyone except for a few adult brothers to fight in the Boshi territory a month ago."
Cidex's words let Qin Feng know that the situation in Pendetus' territory was indeed very tense.
He pondered for a moment, "For the relationship with Narik, in fact, you don't need to do this, but it is not necessarily safe to stay in the Boxi territory, if the Podetes territory is really breached, it will also give the other party an excuse to drag the Boxi territory into the war." β
Qin Feng's words are not unreasonable, since the other party dares to provoke a war with the Pendetes territory at this time, then the adjacent Boxi territory is estimated to not be spared in the future.
He couldn't figure out the deeper reason behind this.
His words also made Narik next to him nervous, maybe there would indeed be such a situation, his territory is now separated from the territory of Pondetes by an interstellar blank area, almost adjacent.
If the opponent occupies the territory of Pondetes, then it will directly threaten the territory of Boshi.
"What then?" Cidès visibly nervous, although his father's territory was in danger now, she didn't want to endanger her husband's posy territory, which was her home.
"Since we have formed an alliance, we are allies, and although the Great Qin Empire cannot directly participate in the war, it can provide you with the necessary assistance." Qin Feng said with determination.
"We should build a large number of warships quickly and train soldiers in case war spreads." Qin Feng said to Narik, seeing Narik's uneasy eyes, then he said, "Don't worry too much, I'll immediately let the territory send someone over." β
Qin Feng asked Narik again: "Which territory did you sign an alliance with us last time?" β
"It's the territory of Viscount Bagaslot, which is also adjacent to the territory of Boshi, but in the other direction of the territory. The battleships built also had parts that he bought. β
Narik explained.
"Then we also have to unite with the territory of Artukas and prepare in advance."
"Brother, your territory should be in a state of combat readiness, but you must be tight inside and loose on the outside so that no one can find out anything." Qin Feng suggested.
"Well, I'll arrange it."
"How many soldiers are there in the Boshi Territory now, and what about the warships?" Qin Feng asked a question that was usually impossible to ask so directly.
"Now there are about 500,000 soldiers, about 200 original warships, plus nearly 600 warships built and deployed during this time, but unfortunately the newly built warships are all given to my father-in-law." After saying that, he also looked at Citdesse.
"The number looks like a lot, and it's okay for offensive operations, but it's still a little insufficient for defense. Brother, I suggest you double the size of both your soldiers and your battleship. β
"Some time ago, in order to build a battleship, I have designated the Piast Star and a mining star around it as a military star field, and now I can build a battleship there on a large scale."
"Okay, I've also brought two Star Dimensional ships with me this time, which can be quickly copied to build new warships. But ......"
Qin Feng told Narik again, "However, these star-dimensional ships are not for you, you have to ensure the safety of these star-dimensional ships, and no outsiders are allowed to enter near the construction base." β
After all, some technologies are the secrets of the Great Qin Empire, and Qin Feng doesn't want to be obtained by outsiders, and at the same time, he also avoids being known to the outside world too early because of this matter.
"That's no problem, the Piast Star has become a military star, and now the nearby star field is guarded by General Buller."
"Hmm." Qin Feng agreed and walked out with Alice, who was still holding a little girl in her right hand.
"Alice, I heard that you have deployed stargate ships to all of them last time in order to transport the battleships you purchased in the alliance territories, so this time you will quickly transport the battleships through the stargates."
Narik didn't come out to send Qin Feng and the others, he also had to arrange a lot of important things, leaving only the two sides in the hall to continue to discuss some details.
Walking on the road, Alice asked, "Brother Qin Feng, why don't we just join the war?" Those two territories shouldn't be the opponents of the Great Qin Empire, right? β
"Directly into the war? This is not possible at the moment, we can't give an excuse to the people behind this war, that would drag the newly established Great Qin Empire into the war, and now we don't have the strength to fight an interstellar war. β
"Besides, why are these two territories not afraid that the Boxi Territory will directly participate in the war even though they know that the lord of the Pondetes Territory is the father-in-law of Narik of the Boshi Territory?"
"I think Brother Narik has already weighed this kind of powerful relationship."
"What's more, most of these surrounding territories have participated in the knighthood ceremony of Brother Narik, and they have long known that the Boxi Territory has a close relationship with the controller of the VII Star Region, and even more so that they know the existence of my Qin Feng, the god race, and now start this war when His Highness Meath is injured and cannot come out, so I think this matter is not simple."
After listening to Qin Feng's analysis, Alice was thoughtful, and admired Qin Feng even more in her heart, ordinary people can rarely think of these things through superficial phenomena.
"Didn't you bring back most of the star core spars from Willisi this time, and once again ask the star to inform the territory to build all the star core spars into hunting Type III battleships as soon as possible."
"In addition, in order to protect the important material supply ground in the Boxi territory in the early stage of the Great Qin Empire, a new one will be built as soon as possible
Avant-garde-class fortresses were sent through and deployed in the hyperspace of the Gravel Belt Battleship Construction Base. At the same time, a thousand Hunt Type III warships are being deployed. β
"Let him send a flanker-class fortress to be deployed in hyperspace near Star Ikinade, the capital of the Boshi Territory, carrying 200 hunting Type III warships as the Empire's mobile force here."
"Let's talk to Brother Narik, let's just say that in order to protect its interests in the Boxi territory, the Great Qin Empire needs to establish a base near the Piast Star and station 100 warships."
"I don't think it's a problem with this, Tesri led nearly 100 warships to stay there before."
"Brother Qin Feng, why don't you take the opportunity to defeat the two territories that attacked the territory of Pendets, so that we can not only solve the danger of Pondetes's territory, but also include it in the scope of the empire, which is not bad as an overseas territory."
"Hehe, I want to too, but now our strength is not enough, you think that we high-end colonists alone can rule a new overseas territory?"
Qin Feng's gaze looked forward, as if it had penetrated the barrier of the surrounding palaces, "At least we have to wait for us to stabilize, establish our own production base, and be able to provide all kinds of materials for our operations, once the supply is cut off in the battle now, we have no chance of winning." β
Seeing that Qin Feng stopped talking, Alice turned her attention to the little girl beside her, "Little sister, what's your name?" β
"Aposhina." Aposina said softly, although this young girl couldn't understand the conversation between Qin Feng and the two, her good upbringing made her just listen quietly on the side and didn't disturb the two.
"Aposhina, sister, I'll take you to see Xinweier."
"Hmm." The little girl replied weakly, and looking at her timid little appearance, Alice was full of love.
"Brother Qin Feng, do we want to go to Karpas Star to see, there is one of our agent families who is responsible for the procurement and transportation of materials needed by Great Qin, and it is the Tur family that cooperated with Ed, as our agent in the Boxi territory and the surrounding territories."
"Okay, then let's go and have a look, and by the way, transport the supplies back to the territory."
"I don't know if the one million slaves that Narik's father-in-law promised us last time were delayed because of the war."
"Probably not, I think Count OdΓ©dor's work is okay."
When the little girl Aposina heard Alice say her father's name, she said, "Sister, can you let my seven brothers and sisters be with me?" β
Qin Feng listened to the numbers in Aposhina's mouth, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this Lord of Pondetes is really able to give birth, and he was relieved to think that the old lord of the Xiqi Territory who was originally annexed by Narik still had more than forty children.
"Yes." Alice didn't want to refuse, so the little girl directly agreed.
"I'll tell your sister Cidis to pick them all up in a moment, and we'll go to Karpasia."
Qin Feng and the others hadn't yet reached the April Palace, he immediately called a guard behind him, "You inform Lord Narik and Lady Cidis that we are going to Karpas Star and let Mrs. Cidis also go to receive the battleship." Tell Lady Cidis to bring her other siblings with Aposhina. β
"Yes, Your Majesty." Watching this guard run away, a smile appeared on Aposhina's little face, she had just heard Qin Feng order to bring her brothers and sisters.
