This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 848: Countdown to war
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
Golden Gallon Port.
Alliance military base.
Fang Chang, who was sitting on the bench near the save point, was meticulously flipping through the "Survivor Daily" in his hand.
Due to the need to deal with related business of Baiyue Company, he went back to Shuguang City at the beginning of last month, and then went to Ideal City to handle the business of Changyue Group. It was not until last night that he returned to Golden City after several trips. This side of Gallon Harbor.
As for the situation in Borneo, he has been following up on the forum, and even provided immature suggestions to some newcomers involved in the incident.
However, in order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the local situation, he still followed the suggestion of Jodu, the secretary of the Governor's Office, and went to the newspaper office to buy a bound volume of "Daily Survivor".
This is a publication method that the local "Survivor Daily" newspaper office devised on its own based on the "Survivor Daily" in Dawn City.
Due to constant breaking news in the local area, publications are printed every now and then. It is easy to miss key information if you are not careful.
In this port where finance and import and export are prosperous, information means money.
Therefore, in response to readers' requests, every month, the "Daily Survivor" will extract key information from the headlines and headlines of the previous month and create a collection for the masses to eat or collect.
In addition, there are "quarterly collections" and "annual collections", and the covers usually feature the influential figures of the quarter or year.
At present, the "Survivor Daily" in settlements such as Dawn City and Boulder City have also introduced this publishing method.
Although the "Daily Survivor" in Golden Gallon Port is an imitation of the former, the alliance is not very particular about this.
After all, managers once said that as long as it is a voice of progress, even if it comes from a rotten coffin board, it is still progress.
At this moment, what Fang Chang is holding in his hand is the quarterly collection of Jingallang Port's "Survivor Daily", which can be regarded as sorting out what has happened during this period.

In addition to supporting the survivors of Saifan Port, they also requested the authorities to declare war on the Southern Army. 】

The last report was about the emperor of Xilan, but it only had a few words.
[The death of Wutuo. 】
After reading the newspaper to the end, Fang Chang closed the newspaper in his hand and put it aside.
At this moment, Lao Bai, who had just finished giving lessons to the young officers at Kinggallon Port, came over, sat down next to him, and said with a smile.
"Why didn't you say anything when we arrived? I thought you were still on the plane."
Fang Chang said with a faint smile.
"I just got off the plane last night and went to the Governor's Mansion for a meeting. I haven't had time yet... I originally planned to log off and tell you about it later, but I thought the save point was in the military camp. , just come here."
"Wait for me a moment."
After that, Lao Bai got up and walked to the vending machine next to the save point. He bought two cans of coffee and returned, handing one can to Fang Chang.
Fang Zhang stretched out his hand to take the coffee, pulled the tab of the can, and took a sip.
"Thank you... By the way, there are even vending machines here."
"After all, it has been almost two months since the save point opened," Lao Bai smiled and asked casually, "Speaking of which, how is the space elevator going? Is the progress going smoothly?"
Fang Chang replied casually.
"It's good. Somehow, the college suddenly changed its previous uncooperative attitude and actually offered to transfer gravity well technology to us."
Lao Bai's eyebrows raised slightly.
"The conditions are not cheap, right?"
Fang Chang nodded and said.
"It's really not cheap. They have a whole list of conditions, which is more verbose than the company's contract... But in a nutshell, it's technology investment. And after the space elevator is completed, we need to provide it according to their requirements. They build a colonial ship to a standard no lower than the stranded Zhiyuan in Ideal City, and when the time comes they will return their shares as promised."
Old Bai said with a wry smile.
"That might be more expensive than a space elevator."
He has seen what Captain Zhiyuan looks like.
The tallest building in Ideal City is like a chopstick in front of that thing.
Fang Chang nodded.
"This is indeed the case at present, but it is not without benefits for us. If they want us to help them produce, they have to provide us with the corresponding technology. For the past two centuries, they have been using the technology of the Prosperity Era If the inheritance is sorted out, it will be a huge wealth."
Lao Bai was stunned for a moment, touching his chin and thinking for a while.
“It’s quite profitable when you think about it.”
Fang Chang smiled faintly.
"Not only is it quite profitable... Our friends in Ideal City were shocked. They spent more than a century trying not to pry the academy's mouth open, but it only took us two or three years to do it. We did it, and let those guys come up with so many good things."
“The engineers of Ideal Group are thinking about how to use anti-gravity technology in buildings. The company will usher in new profit growth points... Of course, we are the same, and we are still a blank sheet of paper in many fields. Growing faster than them."
Based on his understanding of the alliance managers, it is impossible for that gentleman to make a loss-making transaction.
That person must have seen this day coming from the beginning.
Nowadays, the space elevator is gradually changing from an unprofitable scientific research project to an international project that can achieve win-win results for all parties involved.
Although most games have cheated NPC for the sake of balance and gameplay, he still couldn't help but admire Chu Guang's methods.
Whether it is ability or vision, that person is one of the best.
"...There is nothing to say about the space elevator. At this stage, it is mainly a matter for scholars and engineers. All we need to do is to create a stable environment for them so that they can fully display their talents and creativity."
"The most important thing right now is the situation in Borneo Province. For now, this land has involved all the main survivor forces in the entire Zhongzhou Continent."
Fang Chang paused for a moment, took a sip of coffee, looked at Lao Bai and continued.
"By the way, has Wu Tuo's cause of death been found out?"
This guy's death was so coincidental that it's hard not to wonder if it was designed.
Hearing this question, Lao Bai had a strange expression.
"...You may not believe it, but that guy died of diabetes."
"Sugar...diabetes?" Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, completely confused.
Many incurable diseases in reality can only be treated with maintenance treatment. However, in the wasteland, they can only be regarded as minor illnesses. Not only are there treatments, but there are even multiple solutions.
For example, the simplest and crudest method is to just replace whatever doesn't work.
If it doesn't work, you can let Xiaoyu touch it and take a chance on glorious evolution.
In this era of 2077, which is more advanced than cyberpunk, Fang Chang cannot understand that someone will die of diabetes.
Even if that guy doesn’t have the league’s medical insurance, there’s always money, right? !
Lao Bai also had a complicated expression on his face.
"His medical records show that a few months ago he was sent to a hospital in the suburb of Kinggallon for examination, and he was found to have diabetes and cardiovascular disease at that time. The doctor recommended that he implant a prosthesis, but he was When a group of imperial ministers who were traveling with him refused, they switched to medication..."
After a pause, he sighed again and said.
"Don't say you are surprised, I feel that those ministers have bad intentions. One or two of them were crying miserably. Maybe they wish that guy would die soon."
From the standpoint of the emperor or his relatives, the alliance that has no interest in the land is obviously more trustworthy than the legion, even if they have a better relationship with the legion.
However, this may not be the case from the perspective of a minister.
This country is not theirs in the first place, so who is not working for them?
This is the shortcoming of feudalism.
A seemingly stable whole is actually achieved through internal friction between various strata. This also resulted in the entire empire appearing to be a behemoth, but its cohesion output was negative.
Now that Wu Tuo is dead, Xi Lan has finally breathed his last breath.
"... Let the local police station investigate the cause of Wu Tuo's death. We won't join in the fun. It's meaningless anyway. He couldn't do anything while he was alive, let alone after he died."
Puffing his index finger on the bridge of his nose, Fang Chang looked at Lao Bai and continued to ask.
"What about the legion? Most of the people were killed by them. I guess they got the news before us."
Lao Bai nodded and said solemnly.
"The information we received here is similar to what you guessed. The legion announced the death of the emperor almost immediately after Wu Tuo's death. At that time, Prince Dilip on the ship was still thinking about how to keep it secret. Seal the news on the ship..."
Fang Chang had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"What did he think."
This is different from covering one's ears and others not being able to hear, right?
Lao Bai shook his head.
"Who knows? Maybe Wu Tuo said something to him. Only he knows the details... Anyway, not long after that, Prince Akbar, who was exiled to Xifan Port, announced that he would inherit the throne. And the time for the coronation ceremony was set for three days after today."
After a pause, Lao Bai continued.
"At the same time, General Gurion, commander-in-chief of the Borneo Province combat area of the Southern Army, issued an ultimatum to the Mammoth Kingdom, requiring them to withdraw their troops from the three northern states within 72 hours and return the illegally occupied territory."
Fang Chang's eyes narrowed slightly.
"If Lasi accepts their demands, their next target will be the Niu State of Borneo."
"Well," Lao Bai nodded, "We thought so too, so we communicated with Lacy... That guy was very easy to talk to. He was completely different from Absek. He didn't complain about anything from the beginning. The fantasy of negotiating with the Legion."
"Absak is our biggest hidden danger," Fang Chang's eyes fell on the newspaper beside him. "That guy is different from Lacy. He wants to be a single man but has no courage. He wants to delegate power but is reluctant to do so. Indecisiveness is a big taboo. ."
Old Bai sighed.
"Vanus is also worried about that guy, but right now we have no better way. We can't expect every card in our hand to be a good card."
"That's right...there are only seventy-two hours left before the war begins."
Putting the coffee on the bench, Fang Chang picked up the newspaper he had put aside.
"Fortunately, the united front has been formed now. The only problem left is that if the Southern Army declares war on the Mammoth Kingdom in the name of the Xilan Empire, this will be a civil war in the empire. If we directly send troops, I am afraid that we will Overturning the results achieved by the Adhesion Community."
Not only is it the result of the Sticky Community, but maybe even the Battle of Luoxia will have to be repeated.
This fire is really going to burn, and the entire Central Continent may be involved.
Previously, the Alliance faced only the eastward expansion faction of the Eastern Legion, which was crippled by the Great Rift Valley, but now it faces the entire Southern Legion, which has reached a consensus.
The difficulty of this matter is not only on the battlefield, but also outside the battlefield.
Looking at Fang Chang, who was frowning, Lao Bai said with a smile.
"Actually... you don't need to worry about what you said. The manager made a special call yesterday about this matter."
Fang Chang put down the newspaper in his hand and cast an unexpected look at Lao Bai.
"What did he say on the phone?"
Lao Bai said with a smile.
"He told us not to worry. After the previous foreign minister of the alliance concluded his visit to Golden Gallen Port, he went to the capital of the Eastern Army for negotiations under Bennot's introduction, and certain results have been achieved."
"I don't know the specific situation, but according to the results of the negotiations, the Eastern Army made it clear that it would not participate in the war unilaterally initiated by the Southern Army. And they hope that we can treat them as a 'separate individual', Rather than being a vassal of Triumph City or an ally of the Southern Legion."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment, then continued to ask.
"What about Triumph City?"
Old Bai continued.
"The same is true for Triumph City. They even hope that we can teach the Southern Army a profound lesson, preferably just like the Great Rift Valley taught the Eastern Army a lesson. Although they cannot give us more support, they promise that this The war will not affect our cooperation, nor will it escalate into a full-scale war... But on the contrary, they hope that we will try not to spread the war to each other's homeland and cause too many civilian casualties."
"Based on the above reasons, the managers have given new instructions on the deployment of the front line. In the case that the Southern Army has not directly declared war on us, we will not declare war on it, but will still adopt reciprocal military measures. strategies in response."
Looking at Fang Chang, who looked surprised, Lao Bai grinned and continued.
"If they invade Borneo Province as mercenaries and assist the pseudo-Silan regime in realizing their ambitions, we will go to the front line in pieces and join the war as volunteers!"
……
With the succession of Prince Akbar, the ultimatum issued by the Southern Army, the fuse inserted in the powder keg of Borneo Province has been completely lit.
The war between the exiled Xilan Empire and the Mammoth Kingdom has entered the final countdown.
Both sides are increasing their bargaining chips on their respective borders. On one side are the Velantian "mercenaries", and on the other side are the Moon Clan resistance forces and "volunteers" from the Alliance.
Things that cannot be obtained through conspiracy or scheming will eventually be revealed on the battlefield.
Anyone with a clear eye can see who is standing behind each warring party and what the goal of the war is.
However, even if some clues can be seen from those clues, people can only pray silently that the scope of this disaster will not spread too widely...
The battlefield atmosphere team boarded the extradition ship to Triumph City, and Penny accompanied him.
Arman fulfilled his promise and used his fleet to open a route to the Sea Coast Province for the survivors of West Sail Port.
There were fleeing Moon tribesmen, darkened expeditionary soldiers, and a group of survivors from other areas of the wasteland. They will rebuild a new home in that land where there is nothing but hope...
At the same time, the Legion's 300,000 troops have landed at West Sail Port and completed the final preparations before the invasion. The entire port is full of soldiers.
On the other side, the distant Dawn City is still calm. Just like Yavente, the capital of the Southern Legion, there is no trace of the imminent outbreak of war in the streets and alleys.
This is actually what Chu Guang himself meant.
Since this war will not reach the stage of all-out war, there is naturally no need for mobilization.
Besides, the Alliance is no longer what it used to be. It is no longer the small organization struggling on the verge of death. There are still a lot of things that need to be done. It is impossible to use all your strength for everything. superior.
Conference Hall 1 of the Alliance Building.
Chu Guang, who was sitting at the conference table, was quietly browsing the forum, checking to see who was talking about his handsomeness behind his back, and passing the boring time before the meeting.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, he sighed softly and spoke to the holographic screen.
"Not okay yet, Xiaoqi."
Light blue holographic light and shadow jumped out from one side of the screen, Xiao Qi looked at him pitifully and said.
"Well, I'm sorry, Master...the communication distance is too long, and the communication situation in the desert is extremely unstable. Our line here is smooth, but it seems that we are not connected to the other side."
The Eastern Legion has very little development of the desert, and it can even be said that it is almost non-existent. It has only recently built some research stations and the like in the west.
However, thanks to this, the two sides were able to communicate "across regions" through Kaifeng City as a "signal transfer station" and a few command vehicles and radio stations.
Only the problem of intermittent signals still exists.
Just like now.
"You don't need to apologize for other people's mistakes. I'm just a habitual reminder..." Chu Guang glanced at the time on the screen. "It seems that our friends are not looking forward to this meeting very much. Maybe we can meet again another day." It’s more suitable for a date.”
His time is not infinite, and he cannot wait here forever.
Just when Chu Guang was about to get up and leave, the communication icon marked with an exclamation point on the holographic screen suddenly jumped out.
"Yes!" Xiao Qi's eyes lit up and she immediately disappeared from the screen.
At the same time, a beam of light blue light lit up directly in front of the conference table, and a torn holographic image gradually emerged from the beam.
"Ahem! This is our first meeting. Dear alliance manager, unfortunately our communications troops encountered a sandstorm. I'm sorry to have to wait for a while... I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."
Chu Guang was not unfamiliar with the ordinary face in front of him.
After all, in the past year, Eastern Legion has had quite a lot of exchanges with the Alliance, and he always has various opportunities to see them.
However, this is the first time for face-to-face communication.
Putting away the holographic computer pen, Chu Guang calmly looked at the man standing in the holographic beam and smiled indifferently.
"Unfortunately, I did have to wait for a long time, but fortunately it seems that my wait was worth it."
After a pause, he continued.
"...Nice to meet you, the commander of the Eastern Legion, Mr. Saren."
