Chapter 494: Production Preparations
After laughing, Emperor Shi Tian said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, given that our enemies are everywhere, I'm afraid this magical holy land must still be received, otherwise it will become difficult to cross the sea." ”
"But we have such a big disadvantage, it's even difficult to go to the third layer, in this case, how can we grab the magic holy land?" Aladdin asked with a frown.
"I'll solve this problem, and you don't need to worry about it anymore. Emperor Shi Tian said confidently: "I came to you this time, in addition to the important matter of eating and drinking, it is to give you a breath, I want to rob the magic holy land, so in the next three months, we will carry out a general mobilization for war!"
Hearing this, the people present immediately frowned, and their expressions became extremely serious.
The so-called general mobilization for war means that in order to support the war at all costs, in order to ensure military needs, it is even necessary to slow down the production of some civilian goods, and even foreign orders may have to be stopped.
In this case, the nearly 30 million people in Emperor Shakti's territory will all be organized into troops and will be trained militarized in turns.
In addition, all production activities should be tilted towards weapons and equipment, all foreign trade and production should be stopped, and all productive forces should be used for the production of arms.
There is no doubt that this will have a significant impact on Emperor Shitian's economy, and if he wins, it will be fine, but once he loses, Emperor Shitian, who has exhausted all his family resources, may fall into a place of no return.
However, given the importance of the Magical Sanctuary, everyone present also knew that everything needed to be fought together.
What's more, Emperor Shi Tian is really strong now, if he is one-on-one, at least in the underground world, he is almost invincible, and the only thing he is afraid of is being targeted by others.
And since Emperor Shi Tian has promised to crack the other party's alliance, it means that they still have a good chance of winning.
So at this time, they also supported Emperor Shi Tian to take a gamble.
Now that the decision had been made, the crowd immediately began to deliberate along these lines.
After eating and drinking, everyone immediately began to disperse and get busy.
First of all, the barrage Ji, after returning to the city, immediately adjusted, production plan, immediately stopped all production operations unrelated to the war, and ordered to reduce 1/3 of the manpower, turn into the militia on the spot, and send it to the training camp for training.
This cut was all-encompassing, and whether it was a farmer or a worker, or a miner, 1/3 had to be cut off and given these people a month of military training.
After they have completed their military training, they will continue to work and replace the next group of people to train here.
The reason why this system was formed was because most of the slaves, who had never even touched a gun, were still stuck in the era of cold weapons, and they knew how to rush up and cut blindly when they were fighting.
If such a unit suddenly gets a gun and fights in the era of hot weapons, it may first injure itself, and if it is not familiar with weapons and equipment, it will definitely not be able to familiarize itself with the new tactics, and the power will not be exerted by 1/10.
Therefore, they should be trained for a month, at least how to dig trenches, how to arrange crossfire, how to conduct fire reconnaissance, how to use and maintain firearms, grenades and other weapons.
There is no need to train them into elite troops, as long as they can quickly replenish them when the main force is seriously attritional, and adapt to the battle of the main force.
In addition, Danmaku Ji is also responsible for various foreign trade activities.
The first thing to do is the black market sweeping, and when the war begins, even the law currency will become an ornament, which has no practical use for the war, and can only be spent and converted into combat power.
Therefore, Barrage Ji ordered to start using the massive law coins in the inventory to clean up all the items on the black market that could improve combat effectiveness.
All kinds of potions, all kinds of scrolls, buy them when you see them in the future, and there are mage troops, basically you won't let go when you see them.
Not only that, but Danmaku Ji also issued a special recruitment order, willing to recruit mage troops at twice the market price, and if the number is large, it can be increased, and the higher the number, the higher the price.
You know, mages are the real main force on the battlefield, and the more there are, the better.
Although no one is usually willing to sell, those who are broken down will still sell one or two mages from time to time, especially those who have little effect, or who are particularly obscure, have become the focus of trading.
And for those ordinary lords, in the current situation where firearms are rampant, the combat power of low-level mages has been infinitely reduced, but their treatment has not been reduced at all, so the cost performance is a little low.
If out of habit, each liege is willing to keep a mage unit.
However, if someone pays twice or even more, these poorer mages will be tempted, and maybe they will take the opportunity to sell some of their mage troops.
And if it adds up, it may be able to bring a powerful mage army to Emperor Shitian.
In fact, this is indeed the case, on the first day of the recruitment order, Danmaku Ji received nearly a thousand mages at all levels, including even two silver mages.
Although there weren't so many in the following days, it was still like flowing water, endless.
Especially those ordinary students, if they get some mages by chance, they will definitely not be polite at this time, and they will definitely take the opportunity to sell them at a high price.
In this case, the mage troops in Emperor Shitian's hands began to swell again.
In addition, Barrage Ji was afraid that no one would be tempted, so he simply took out some precious materials, even rare materials such as Mithril.
In fact, these things are usually treasures, and if they are handed over to the alchemy master, they will continue to create a lot of weapons and equipment.
But the problem is that there are too many of these materials, and the alchemists have a limited number, and they can't digest them for a while.
So these things are equivalent to taking up space and money for nothing. So the barrage Ji didn't do anything, and simply sold them.
In this way, in the big war three months later, Emperor Shi Tian's hands were not a backlog of materials, but real troops or other war materials.
Obviously, it's definitely the latter when it comes to fighting, it's more helpful.
Therefore, although it seems that it is a loss to sell these high-grade materials, in order to improve the combat effectiveness as much as possible, the loss can only be admitted.
As the so-called heavy reward must have brave men, a lot of money, and a large number of high-grade materials as bait, those lords who usually have a bad life will immediately go crazy, anyway, they can't fight for the time being, especially when the fourth layer is fighting for the magic holy land, they happen to have a relatively comfortable period, so there will definitely be no big problem with a little less mage for the time being.
So in this case, even some lords are hundreds, hundreds of mages are sold to Emperor Shi Tian, and they also know that the third war that is about to break out is related to the life and death of Emperor Shi Tian, so people will be so generous.
And once this opportunity is missed, no matter whether Emperor Shi Tian wins or loses, he will not spend double or even triple the money to buy a mage so stupidly, let alone exchange silver-level high-grade materials for some bronze-level mage apprentices.
And after the barrage Ji opened the high-priced bounty on the black market, it immediately stirred up the entire underground world market, and the prices of all kinds of war-related things were rising rapidly.
Because the people who collected these materials were not only Emperor Shakti, but also those powerful lords who had already claimed the throne.
As soon as the magic holy land came out, almost all the lords who were qualified to compete couldn't sit still, and they also began to prepare for war, and they were not short of money, so at this time, they were also throwing money into it, and they wanted to reserve more war preparation materials to increase their chances of winning.
These people and Danmaku Ji have joined forces to purchase war materials, which will naturally make the price of war materials soar, anyway, in just one or two months, you will increase the price of various materials several times.
In particular, the group's blessing scroll is priceless, and it will be snatched away as soon as it appears.
And while the barrage Ji was frantically sweeping the goods, Long Cannon Ji was training the troops with his life.
Long Pao Ji used to be an instructor of the Praetorian Guard, and after coming here, she was usually responsible for the training of new soldiers, but now at a critical moment, she must also work hard.
The new barracks, which could only accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, were stuffed into it by nearly 10 million at once, and there was not even a place to sleep, and they even had to be temporarily expanded.
The most important thing is that the recruit originally had a six-month training period, but now the time is tight and the task is heavy, Long Pao Ji has to compress the training period to one month, which is really embarrassing for her.
However, fortunately, Long Pao Ji has not wasted his time over the years, and has already trained a large number of excellent instructors under the orders of Emperor Shi Tian.
Usually, these instructors are in charge of the army, but now they are naturally all called back by the dragon cannon Ji and used to train recruits.
In addition, Long Pao Ji also changed the training syllabus and training steps overnight, so that he could master the general firearms combat skills within a month.
For this reason, Long Pao Ji also had to hire a group of earth monks, which were specially used for the expansion of the camp of the new barracks.
In addition, a large amount of supplies were also pulled over, in addition to the usual food, clothing, shelter and transportation, there were also a large number of bullets and grenades.
Long Pao Ji knows that he can't practice anything just by saying it, and he must also shoot live ammunition to master the guns and ammunition.
So Dragon Cannon asked for a batch of bullets and grenades to be mobilized so that each of these guys would have a chance to practice with live ammunition.
And when the dragon cannon Ji was training recruits day and night, Yaslian didn't dare to be idle at all, her main job was to build a necromantic airship.
The last time I fought with the two major alliances, I killed an unknown number of giants, and the corpses of these big guys were all preserved and used to refine necromantic airships.
Due to the lack of the number of tentacles, it has not been refined until now.
And the big war is approaching, and the necromantic airship, as one of the main air forces, is naturally as much as possible. Therefore, Yaslian personally commanded the scene, worked overtime to produce, and strived to increase the number of necromantic airships to more than 100,000 when the war broke out, which was definitely an extremely difficult task.
