Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Military Parade Before the Great War (I)
Early the next morning, Da Er took up his post with a dozen junior brothers who had just been transferred to his subordinates.
Some of these people are too poor to become the waste materials of powerful martial artists, and some are middle-aged and elderly people who are too old to miss the best age to practice martial arts. However, they all belonged to the first group of people who followed Guo Dafu, and they were very loyal to him.
In Guo Dafu's view, the most important thing in this intelligence department is loyalty, as for strength or something, it is not too important, after all, real intelligence warfare is naturally impossible to use knives and guns at every turn like some movies, and more often than not, you still have to compete for wisdom and patience.
And since these subordinates are still novices, Big Ear has no intention of asking these rookies to do things for the time being, and taking them with him is just to let these guys see how he does it first, and when they are almost finished, they will hand over some less important tasks to these subordinates to complete.
"You're just watching, I'm going to test that guy!"
Under Big Ear's command, those subordinates immediately dispersed, intentionally or unintentionally blocking the former colleague in front of him who had been locked by Big Ear.
That guy's name is Ma Dazhuang, and he is an eyeliner that Da Er developed very early, and he once saw Big Ear, and after Big Ear stepped forward and showed him the iconic big ear, Ma Dazhuang immediately recognized the other party.
"Head, it's you! I heard you were caught? After Ma Dazhuang recognized Big Ear, he looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to them, he immediately stepped forward to greet Big Ear.
"That's right! However, I actively cooperated with the labor reform, and now I have been released from prison! ”
After explaining a sentence to him, Big Ear asked, "What's the matter with you now?" Didn't I send you to lurk at Camp Three? How did you get here? ”
"No way, recently the greedy wolf king guy has been crazy and grabbed land everywhere to recruit soldiers, the leader of the broken camp still wanted to resist, and was slaughtered directly, the people in the camp are now scattered, I followed a team of people, and fled here in a daze, and when I arrived, I knew that it was Guo Dafu's territory, and I couldn't leave if I wanted to, and those guys were really strict!" Faced with Da'er's inquiry, Ma Dazhuang replied with a depressed face.
It's no wonder that Ma Dazhuang complains so much, Guo Dafu's entire territory is now in the military management stage, and everyone will be registered by the militia served by the pioneers and people every day, for the sake of safety, every trip is at least a team of ten people, and if you go to a farther place, there will be militia accompanying you to protect it.
This makes it difficult for a spy like Ma Dazhuang to escape once he enters Guo Dafu's territory.
After listening to Ma Dazhuang's complaints, Da Er continued to ask him: "Then you didn't find a way to find the subordinates who scolded the greedy wolf king to identify themselves?" Now that he has established such a large greedy wolf empire, he should also need his own intelligence network! ”
Faced with this question of big ears, Ma Dazhuang couldn't help but say with a look of contempt: "Just that greedy wolf king, a brainless and reckless man, relying on his strength to occupy those territories, just his brain smaller than an egg, how can he know how to form an intelligence network!" I heard that a few old guys wanted to go to him, but they were swallowed directly by that guy, and there was not even a bone left! ”
Da Er was also dumbfounded when he heard Ma Dazhuang's answer, thinking that fortunately it was Guo Dafu who killed the steel-toothed rat king, otherwise if he was replaced by the greedy wolf king, then he would also be eaten by the other party because he took the initiative to join in and was eaten by the other party without even bones!
I'm afraid of comparison, before Da Er felt that they were demoted to hard labor by Guo Dafu, and they were mining and repairing roads all day long, which was really miserable! But now that they are stronger, they feel that they are really lucky.
After all, Guo Dafu is a reasonable human lord, if he falls into the hands of the other party, at least his life will not be lost, and after he took the initiative to take refuge, he was reused by the other party.
Of course, Da Er would not completely believe Ma Dazhuang's words, in order to ensure the accuracy of the news, he went to find a few other subordinates who were recognized by him, these subordinates are all on different lines, in order to avoid being served by the enemy, they don't even know each other at all, so there is basically no possibility of collusion.
As a result, after asking these people, the news they got was similar to what Ma Dazhuang said, and it seemed that the greedy wolf king really did not accept the intelligence organization left by the steel-toothed rat king.
In this way, the other party must also lack intelligence on Guo Dafu's side now, no wonder he has repeatedly sent small forces over to conduct pre-war reconnaissance.
However, this kind of investigation can only detect some less important peripheral information at most, and it is very difficult to obtain real secrets.
For example, the greedy wolf king must not know that Xiaoqing, the spirit beast that protects the country under Guo Dafu, has now been promoted to the third order, successfully turned into a dragon, and has also inherited the spirit snake king's poison control supernatural powers. If the Greedy Wolf King hadn't broken through to the third order, then he would definitely not be Xiaoqing's opponent.
In addition, Guo Dafu himself is even more scheming, no! It should be said that he is resourceful, and he often comes up with some unexpected tricks on the battlefield, so that the weak can defeat the strong, and the less will win the more.
Therefore, Da Er is really not optimistic about the active invasion of the greedy wolf king this time, and thinks that the old wolf will probably become Guo Dafu's new subordinate in the end, and if he is unlucky, he may even lose his life.
After figuring out these things, that afternoon, Da Er found Guo Dafu and reported the information he had investigated.
Guo Dafu was also very happy after listening to Da'er's report, and asked the other party to bring those secret agents back under his command one by one, since the greedy wolf king of this ready-made intelligence network didn't want it, then he smiled and accepted it.
Originally, Guo Dafu felt that it would take at least a year and a half to set up the intelligence network from scratch before it would achieve initial results, but he didn't expect that the greedy wolf king didn't want to face this gift sent to the door, but in the end, it was cheaper for him, so that he saved a lot of manpower and material resources, and directly obtained a ready-made intelligence network and a large number of skilled spies.
When Da Er was ordered to re-co-opt those spies, Guo Dafu was thinking about how to eliminate the worries of the newcomers in the territory.
Now the rumors among the newcomers are becoming more and more exaggerated, and there are even rumors that the greedy wolf king has an army of millions of people, and many people are even secretly conspiring, wanting to escape from Guo Dafu's territory and return to the kingdom of the holy tree.
After some hard thinking and meditation, Guo Dafu decided to hold a military parade in his territory, so that the people in the territory could see the military appearance of their own territory with their own eyes, so that those newcomers could always have more confidence in him, and they would not think about escaping back to the Holy Tree Kingdom one by one before the war started.
In order to stabilize the hearts of the people in the territory as soon as possible, Guo Dafu called his henchmen that night to discuss the military parade.
After deliberation with everyone, it was decided that in addition to the navy, each of the other branches of the armed forces should send 100 people to form a phalanx to participate in the parade, which also included the newly established air force.
In order to make an airship that can really go to the battlefield, Dr. Zhang spent half a day designing a combat airship, which is hundreds of meters long and more than 30 meters wide just by the airbag. And such a large airbag, although it looks like a whole, is actually spliced together by independent small airbags.
This will make it very troublesome for the airship to take off when it is inflated, but it can greatly improve its survivability on the battlefield.
You must know that airships and airplanes are not comparable, they fly very slowly, and they are large, and it is difficult to dodge in the face of enemy attacks.
So Dr. Zhang thought that since he couldn't dodge, he would try to make these combat airships have a higher HP and be more resistant to beating, so he designed this combat airship.
After an airbag is burst, it will not make the airship lose its buoyancy immediately, and only need to adjust the center of gravity to continue the battle, and in the end, even if the airbag is destroyed too much and cannot continue to float, it can also rely on the remaining airbag to fall at a relatively slow speed, so as not to cause too many casualties, and can also give the crew above more opportunities to adjust the landing point before falling. Prevent the airship from ending up in the enemy pile.
And so many independent airbags, but also make this combat airship can carry a lot more crew and weapons than the previous small transport airships, a combat airship, about one hundred and fifty soldiers, on both sides of the airship, each installed ten bed crossbows, plus the head and tail of the six, a total of twenty-six bed crossbows, plus those equipped with ordinary crossbows, can be called powerful firepower.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that these bed crossbows are all new models improved by Dr. Zhang after combining the design of the Sacred Tree Kingdom, in addition to injecting internal force to strengthen their power, they can also freely switch between continuous and single shots.
When facing those heavily armored targets and giant war beasts with rough skin and thick flesh, you can use the most powerful one-shot mode to perform precise sniping. When facing those lightly armored or even unarmored targets, you can switch to a burst state and quickly strafe to suppress the enemy.
Because this new type of combat airship is very large, it is naturally not suitable to be made, and so far only two have been made, one of which is even only half of the bed crossbow, Guo Dafu is ready to wait for the parade to pull out the momentum.
The night passed quickly, and early the next morning, many people got up with sleepy eyes, and they were notified that a military parade was going to be held in the territory, and if they went to watch the parade, everyone could receive half a catty of meat afterwards.
In these years, most people usually have difficulty even eating enough, as for meat, many people have never tasted what it tastes like since birth, and now I heard that they can get half a catty of meat when they watch a military parade, and suddenly they are all like hungry wolves, rushing to the place where they watched the parade, for fear that the place will be occupied by others if they go late.
However, these people are worried in vain, Guo Dafu's purpose in holding the military parade is to boost the confidence of the people in the territory, so he naturally chose an open place to ensure that everyone can watch the parade.
And the location of this military parade is on a large flat land next to Thang Long City.
This Shenglongcheng was originally built on an iron mine, because of the relationship between those iron mines, there are few plants around it, and then Guo Dafu asked people to use those iron-making slag and charcoal ash and the like to fill in the surrounding area as much as possible, so as to facilitate the expansion of the city in the future, but now it is convenient for military parades.
