Chapter 141: The Situation
Guilongbao, the only surface building in the Ancient Realm Star that has never been captured. This is not only because of the strength of the Xiao family, but also because Guilong Fort is the oldest building in the Ancient Domain Star. There is another reason, that is, at the bottom of the Qianlong Peak in Guilong Castle, there is a large natural passage leading to the largest hollow in the underground of the Ancient Domain.
Few outsiders know that the huge Hidden Dragon Peak starts from half of its height and is hollow inside. Of course, this kind of hollow is just a big hole for its own huge Hidden Dragon Peak, but for humans, this natural passage is a super-large passage that even a small starship can drive into.
At the bottom of the Hidden Dragon Peak, it is the largest hollow in the underground void system of the Ancient Domain Star - the Dragon Sleeping Cave.
With an area of 7.6 million square kilometers and a hollow height of 9 kilometers, the cave has a population of 1.5 billion people. It can be said to be the largest and most important underground abode in the entire Confusing Star.
Because of this, Guilong Fort became the only surface structure that was not captured. The Orientals also left no room to continuously strengthen the defense of Guilong Fort, because the mountain is high and dangerous, the Sunsetter attacked for seven years, and they have not been able to gnaw down Guilong Fort, but they have already occupied the entire Qianlong Valley, just waiting for the day when they climb the mountain and break the fort.
Fortunately, the sunseters will not dig holes, nor will they go underground, otherwise they will just start digging from the Qianlong Valley, and seven years will be enough for these sunseters to dig out the passage under the Qianlong Peak.
The living environment of Longmian Cave is not very good, but it is barely passable, coupled with the special status here, so more than one-third of the population in Longmian Cave are warriors, and one-third are teenagers who are about to become warriors. The last third is supported by logisticians from all sides.
In other words, there are no so-called old and weak women and children in the Dragon Sleep Cave. This is an underground base that exists for battle.
The seventh floor of Guilong Castle. This place has been completely transformed into a combat conference room, and the ancient communication equipment occupies half of the space of the entire seventh floor, and after losing the advanced Skynet and Tianxun, it is not easy to connect the entire ancient domain star resistance bases. Even if the seventh layer was so laid out, it could only contact the people of the entire Eastern Continent.
The Western Continent side is now mainly in charge of the Situ family. The Haoyue Peak of the Situ family could have not been lost, but for the sake of the overall situation, they gave up their foundation and moved everyone to the Western Continent while Suona's original fleet was still usable, and organized a resistance force in the Western Continent.
Now there is only one contact between the Eastern Continent and the Western Continent once a month, and each time there is a lot of human life, so unless it is a major incident, otherwise the two sides will not be in contact.
After all, it is impossible for ancient radio waves to cover the whole world without transit satellites.
"You have come at the right time. The crisis in Mayanshan was solved. We can then move on to the next step. Take back Haoyue Peak!" Xiao Zongzheng was very excited, and he had been guarding for seven years, but there was no chance of expansion. Surface bases like those like Mayan Mountain have also been built and destroyed.
The Haoyue Peak of the Situ family not only has great symbolic significance, but also has great strategic significance. As long as you take it, then Haoyue Peak and Guilong Fort are far away, forming a place of watch. It can control more than half of the ground in the Eastern Continent. When the time comes, all the surface bases in this area can be rebuilt.
Underground cavities have the advantages of underground cavities, but they also have disadvantages. People need to live under the sun. No matter how real the simulated sunlight is, it cannot replace the real sun. Now that the new generation has grown up in the Oriental, the physique has begun to decline, and living in the underground cavity for a long time is a disaster for the future of the Orientals.
Breaking through the surface of the earth and returning to the sun has always been the goal of the Orientals for a long time.
Guangwei looked at the map. As the military god of the Orientals, he naturally has absolute authority in the military, Xiao Zongzheng put forward his own ideas, but whether to implement it in the end depends on Guangwei's meaning.
"No, I can't. We can't directly attack Haoyue Peak!" Guangwei shook his head: "We don't have that much strength. I've looked at all the Sunsetters you've put together, and we can't fight each other on the battlefield below. Even if we win on the local battlefield, we will still be at a disadvantage in the general environment!"
"I'm clear about that, but we now have the Bersan Rose......"
Xiao Zongzheng's words had just begun, and he was interrupted by Guangwei waving his hand: "You can't put your hope on the Bolan Rose." We don't know how much of a role the Rose can play, we don't know if that inexplicable temporal corrosion will reappear, whether it will corrode the Rose. ”
Guangwei pointed to the map and calmly analyzed: "It is true that Haoyue Peak has great strategic significance, but we can't deny its inherent disadvantage. That is, the logistical supply is quite difficult. Within a thousand kilometers of its vicinity, there are no large passages leading to underground hollows, and some small passages can send some rapid counter-forces at most, and they cannot form a stable supply line at all!"
"We can use the Bolan Rose to hit Haoyue Peak, but what if the Bolan Rose can't be used in the future? What do we use to provide logistical supplies to the people on Haoyue Peak? Haoyue Peak is no better than Guilong Fort, which has been completely occupied by the Sunset, so it is very likely that all kinds of facilities inside have been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to complete self-sufficiency in the short term!"
"In order to ensure logistical supply and sustained combat effectiveness, we must form fortresses one after another based on natural large-scale passages, so as to form an effective combat network!"
Xiao Zongzheng patted his head and smiled bitterly: "It's that I'm not calm anymore." Seeing you coming, and the Rose of the Blues, I'm getting a little carried away!"
The Snake Emperor was not a stupid person, but the excitement of the moment made him a little carried away, as long as he calmed down again, he would soon be able to realize the mistake of his previous plan.
"But if that's the case, we still can't open up the situation quickly. Just as General Guangwei said, the Bolan Rose doesn't know how long it will last, so if we don't make good use of it before it loses its effect, wouldn't it be too wasteful?" Xiao Zongzheng was still a little unwilling.
Finally waited for a powerful, completely irresistible force for the sunseters. But it can't be used to open the situation, and that feeling is too embarrassing.
No one knows exactly where the Sunseters came from or how many there were. After more than seven years of war, people only feel as if they can't kill the Sunset, and their numbers seem to be the same forever.
Before figuring out where the sunseters came from and how many of them were. Even if the Blue Rose is allowed to carry out an all-star bombing, it doesn't make much sense, it's just a momentary coolness.
Strategic objectives must have clear and effective strategic objectives.
Guangwei smiled slightly: "The Bolan Rose has many functions, some of which are not directly acting on the battlefield! Before coming, we have already imagined various possibilities, thanks to the strength of the Bolan Rose, we have brought not only some fighters but also scientists." We also brought a lot of engineering machines and engineering machine production lines!"
Xiao Zongzheng's eyes lit up suddenly: "General Guangwei, what do you mean?"
"Yes. We don't know how long these machines and production lines will last, but as long as they are still usable, the strategic significance for us is incomparably greater. If we're lucky, we can reconnect all the hollows in the ground?"
The Great Void under the Ancient Domain Star is not all connected together, for example, the Dragon's Sleep Cave is a completely independent large void.
This is the reason why the resistance of the Orientals could not be connected underground. Although the Oriental people have been using their own methods to dig out passages for connection, except for some hollows that are already very close, such as Longmian Cave, which is the only one in tens of millions of square kilometers, wants to dig a passage with manpower and primitive tools. That's just talking in a dream.
This can't be blamed on the fact that the Orientals couldn't think of this when they had convenient technology before, who would have thought that there would suddenly be such a day. Under normal circumstances, who would want to dig a passage under their home in all directions?
In fact, if the Orientals had not built photon train passages underground, more than two-thirds of the underground cavity system would have been independent. With the Photon Train Passage, although these passages are located in the earth's crust, they are all large passages, and the sunsetter will not enter the tunnel. As long as you dig a passage into the cavity vertically downward, you can connect a lot of cavities.
But this kind of manpower excavation method is slow after all.
But now with engineering machines, it's different.
"I've had Peos start the production line before, just after the Blanche Rose has finished its bombing mission. You'll put all the engineering machines down. Our initial goal is to recuperate the Dragon's Sleep Cave and make its living environment more reasonable. The second step is to connect the Longmian Cave with all the underground cavities in the entire Eastern Continent, as long as there is a passage that can quickly pass through troops and supplies, the entire Eastern Continent can truly achieve a big counterattack!"
The god of war is the god of war, and ordinary people always think about how to fight back to the surface and regain the right to live under the sun, but he can see the advantages of the underground itself.
Of course, the divided underground cavity has no advantage, it is just a refuge for stealing life, but when the underground cavities of the entire continent are connected, then this will be a strategic network for a major counteroffensive.
Next, Guangwei continued to arrange a lot of strategic and tactical arrangements, and Xu Da and other senior officers also made suggestions. Xiao Zongzheng has always been the commander-in-chief of Guilong Fort, but after all, he is not a figure who is good at fighting on the battlefield, and he has been struggling to support him for seven years.
Now that professionals are here, Xiao Zongzheng is also greatly relieved.
The meeting lasted until the next morning, although Xiao Ming and the others were not good at these things, they were still involved in the whole process, this was the initial strategy meeting, they had to know every detail, so as not to make strategic mistakes in the subsequent solo actions.
And this time, after the initial strategic meeting, Team Zero can start working alone, and as a super combat force, they will be the sharp knives of the front line. Sitting in the back command post is not something they are good at.
In the middle of the night, the Byran Rose returned, and after several bombardments, seven important strongholds had been protected, and the Sunseters, who had been greatly reduced in activity at night, were all hiding, and there was no need for the Byran Rose to continue bombing.
After returning to Guilongbao, the Berlan Rose put down a large number of engineering machines and at the same time seized the time to start producing various emergency supplies. Especially the medical-related materials, these things have completely disappeared under the corrosion of time as early as seven years ago, and the current medical treatment of the Wandering Star is completely the oldest way of earth.
It seems that the sect of the Hanging Gate has already studied this method, which avoids the embarrassment of the disappearance of the entire planet's medical treatment.
However, the primitive means are limited after all, and many fighters die when the medical treatment is not urgent.
The Blue Rose is now urgently producing a batch of first aid and medical supplies, and no matter how long it lasts, it is good to rescue the nearest injured first.
By noon the next day, the strategy meeting that lasted more than ten hours ended. The crowd will rest and then begin to enter the most tense battle.
More than ten hours was nothing to Xiao Ming, he found the old lady and asked a question that he had endured since he came to Guilong Castle: "What about Qingya?"
The eldest lady of the Xiao family did not appear from the beginning, and she was obviously a person who was better at strategic deployment than Xiao Zongzheng, but she never saw her. Is it somewhere else, or is it ......
Sure enough, Xiao Ming's words made the old lady's face sink.
"Old lady, what's wrong?" Xiao Ming saw the old lady's sad expression, knowing that it was definitely not good news, but he still had to ask.
"Qingya has been missing for seven years. She disappeared when the disaster struck, and for seven years we searched all possible places with no trace of her. We still don't know if she is dead or alive!" Compared to Xiao Ming's great-grandson, Xiao Qingya's great-granddaughter is the old lady who grew up.
The great-granddaughter disappeared without knowing her life and death, and no matter how strong the old lady was, she couldn't control the sadness in her heart.
But Xiao Ming found that the old lady seemed to be unable to speak, and it seemed that there were even more shocking things that had not been said.
Seeing Xiao Ming's puzzled expression, the old lady smiled bitterly: "You are a smart child, I can't hide it from you, and I don't want to hide it from you." Although there is no evidence, but from the analysis of some of the actions of the Sunseter many times, those tactical means are very similar to Qingya's habits!"
Rao is Xiao Ming's heart was also dumbfounded.
If the eldest lady of the Xiao family is missing, or she dies in battle, then the curtain will end, but if she really becomes a person on the Sunset's side, then ......
Xiao Ming didn't dare to think about it anymore.
There was no evidence, but the old lady would not have said such a thing if she had not been certain with some certainty. Who would want their children to be enemies, enemies of all people on the planet?
The old lady's grief was not for Xiao Qingya's disappearance or death in battle, but because her great-granddaughter might have become an enemy. (To be continued.) )
