Chapter 675

Olan's words shocked everyone present. The information she brought was huge. The funders behind ISTA's development have contributed a lot. Franklin also said that he saw the rebels planning a total attack on the tower of abundance. Unfortunately, Solon was strangled in the cradle before he became popular, but it is not difficult to see that the funders who can support ISTA are not simple.

Now the forces behind the rebels have a lot of transfer investment and the idea of merger. The battle of roaring Bay has given him hope. However, this is not enough. The funders also hope to see that the pirates led by zero have the ability to attack difficulties on land, so that he will invest more in them. This is human nature. It will operate like this if you change zero.

As for the merger, it sounds tempting, but I didn't think about it. He didn't intend to hand over the pirate command that he finally won, so it would be ideal to maintain an alliance between the two.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a strong answer." zero said.

Olan stretched out his hand and said, "I look forward to the opportunity to fight side by side with Mr. zero."

"There will be."

Olan came and she left again. However, she brought a number of important materials and gave zero the chance to win the first funder. When the watchman left, he promised to deliver all the equipment and materials ordered by zero within a week at most. Those electromagnets will be delivered as soon as possible, so that the soldiers on the zero side can be familiar with and operate them. Zero also promised to pay OLAM part of the money when they were delivered.

Olan doesn't seem to care much about this. Leave the sentence "there are still many opportunities for cooperation in the future", and the female leader of the anti rebel army will not leave.

Then there is zero busy time.

Now that the equipment is available and the opportunity comes, it is very urgent to lay a first stronghold on the western continent. Mr. X's bar was temporarily used as a combat room. Zero and several captains, as well as Mr. X and mamiro discussed the choice of stronghold. There are two final goals. One is fasero, a port city closest to roaring Bay and only three days away from Whisperer Strait; The other is relatively far away. It takes about a week's waterway to land in the broken Bay and cross the Emerald Forest to reach the fortress city of canon.

There are two main reasons for choosing these two cities. One is that there are abundant resources near them, and the second is that their journey is within a week.

Rich resources are the basis for pirates to gain a foothold, and the journey must be controlled within a week, otherwise too far will leave too much preparation space for the papal hall.

The problem now is that zero must choose one between the two cities as the target of attack.

The port city of fasero was established in recent ten years and belongs to an intermediate town. The resident population is between 20000 and 30000. There are rich iron and copper resources and a small and medium-sized uranium mine nearby. The residents of the city mainly live by mining, and a 300 strong army is stationed in the city. Fasero built a perfect fortification, but after all, facing the sea, there was no risk, so the fortification was weak.

Every year, a large amount of ore and uranium will set out through the wharf of fasero, enter the inland through a specially opened channel, and then travel to the New Roman city. Because of its special location, it is only 300 kilometers away from fasero, which is the headquarters of the fourth division of the order of Saint India. In the history of fasero, there have also been many experiences of being attacked by pirates, but all of them were repulsed repeatedly by the commander of the 4th regiment, Sinie, and his soldiers.

Therefore, pirates are very familiar with fasero and Sinai. To attack fasero, they must consider how to resist the counterattack from the 4th regiment. Of course, with zero combat power at hand, we can completely destroy this knight order. Fasero is completely valuable and worth doing. In addition to being close and rich in minerals, what is more important is that the special waterway "road of destiny" directly points to the hinterland of the western continent.

Having laid down fasero and controlled the channel, zero had the capital to march at a high speed directly to the New Roman city.

Another city, Canon, is a military fortress. At first, only the papal hall was set up at a checkpoint near the Emerald Forest, bordering the eternal mountains. The west line of eternal mountain and Emerald Forest is flat, but then, the more it extends to the east line, the higher the mountain trend is. In the middle part, the mountain range is nearly 2000 meters above sea level.

The eternal mountains go all the way East and extend northward near Caesar Bay, forming a broad arc on the inland edge. This arc is a natural barrier for inland areas and even the New Roman city. In this era when it is unable to support large flight units to achieve air combat, the eternal mountain is like a natural wall, guarding the only way to the inland! Blood stained road!

This road is also a very strong mark in the history of the New Roman city, representing the expansion of the papal hall. In the age of blood and fire, the Knights of new Rome paved the road inch by inch with life and blood. When the blood stained road completely appeared on the map of the papal hall, it represented that the only alien and high mutant animals in the western continent had become the past, thus forming a brilliant era dominated by human beings in the western continent.

Guarding the blood stained road was originally a checkpoint set up by the Pope's hall. Later, with the increasing number of troops, it changed from a checkpoint to a military base, and then gradually evolved from the base to today's fortress city canon.

There are mainly two kinds of people living in Canon, one is soldiers, the other is slaves. Canon has no so-called citizens. There is a clear distinction between the two classes, and there is no gray area at all. The permanent resident population of Canon remained at about 20000, of which 80% were slaves. A large number of slaves used to develop the wood mine of the Emerald Forest and a cloud iron produced by the eternal mountains. More, it works for three oil platforms in the sea area behind canon.

There are two sub regiments stationed here, the 5th and 6th, with a total of more than 4000 soldiers.

Zero's next target is one of the two cities. In contrast, Canon is better than fasero in terms of strategic location and resources. However, several people in Manshan think it is more practical to attack fasero. After all, Canon is a fortress city, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The number of soldiers stationed in the city was much higher than that of fasero, and to attack canon, land warfare was needed. Because canon was built on a cliff, although it was close to the sea, it could not attack from the sea.

This problem does not exist in fasero. Pirates have visited this port city in recent years. They are very familiar with fasero. As long as the army passes, even if the fourth regiment is stationed in faseroli, it can basically be crushed and won.

Looking at Manshan, several people advocated attacking fasero, but mamiro seemed to disdain it. Zero smiled, motioned for everyone to be quiet and asked, "Mr. mamiro, you were the head of the Knights. I don't know what to think of these two cities from your point of view?"

Mamiro was slightly surprised. He was here purely because of Mr. X. For the respect of the old boss, it was more dissatisfaction with Sauron and the papal hall that made him choose the zero side. But mamillo is very excluded here. He didn't interrupt such a battle meeting at all, but now zero asks for his opinions and gives him enough respect.

Mamillo doesn't know much about zero. But only from the fact that he can let pirates use it and planned a miraculous battle, mamillo will not treat him as an ordinary young man. He nodded and said, "if I were you, I would not choose fasero. There is no doubt that fasero is much easier to fight than canon. But because of this, it is not worth attacking."

Captains like Manshan and hindrella are strong in their own strength, but when it comes to leading troops to war, their vision can't be compared with mamiro, who was born in the Knights. When they all disagreed, zero unexpectedly said, "I agree with Mr. mamillo." he pointed to the waterway leading to the inland hinterland and said: "Of course, we can go inland quickly by water. But don't forget that this channel doesn't directly reach the New Roman city. Its destination is still a long way from Rome, including several colonial cities. Here, it can be said to be the main venue of the papal hall."

"If we do, then as long as the Knights cut off our retreat, we basically have no way to go. At that time, there are only two options, one is to continue to go deep alone, and the other doesn't need to be said. If we go deep alone and can't get any supplies and cover, I doubt whether we can support near Rome." With a faint smile, he nodded his hand on fasero: "Since we can quickly reach the inland by water, the church hall can also quickly use troops against fasero. Besides, after slapping the Pope's Hall on the roaring Bay, as long as Solon is not a fool, he will understand that fasero who is too close to the roaring Bay is likely to become the second target of our direct attack. Maybe when we kill it, we will not face it There are only 300 soldiers, but one or more knights. "

The finger moved again, came to the top of Canon, clicked and said, "so our goal is it!"

Manshan's face was a little different immediately. When he wanted to say something, zero made a gesture and said, "I know what you want to say. Kanon is a fortress, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many garrisons. These are its advantages. However, under this advantage, it hides many fatal diseases."

Zero looked at mamiro and asked, "I don't know how long Kanon hasn't had a war?"

Mamillo's eyes lit up. Although there were many people present, except him, only Mr. X probably knew the meaning behind the question of zero. Of course, Mr. X could not answer. After all, he had been away from the knights for too long. So zero would ask him, and mamillo was kind and said, "for a long time, there has been no war for at least 20 years."

"It's really long enough. I'm curious. Do the soldiers in the fortress still know how to hold guns?" zero smiled faintly.

Manshan and hindrella and others began to grasp the true meaning of zero words. If there had been no war in 20 years and the soldiers stationed in Kanon had not been rotated. Even if such soldiers practiced every day, they could not be compared with those soldiers who went to the battlefield every day in terms of consciousness and quality. Even if they were strictly counted, they would be neither It's a veteran.

"I don't know how often Canon will update the defense system, or its facilities still use what they were 20 years ago?"

Next, zero asked a series of questions. If it weren't for mamillo who is here now, even those native to the western continent, such as Cinderella, probably couldn't answer. Zero information is already a kind of military secret and will not be known by outsiders. Mamillo was also very straightforward, listing what he knew one by one. For example, Canon's defense system was last updated ten years ago. It can be said to be an update. In fact, it just replaces some old facilities. Generally speaking, Canon still uses what was used 20 years ago.

There is also a power mecha Force stationed in the city, but this force only has Paladin mecha, but there is no low altitude flying arms such as Griffin knight. Of course, there are still round table knights, and there are two.

But all this can not avoid the key problem, that is, Canon has been comfortable as a fortress city for too long, so long that even the outer wall may not be able to resist the bombing of several heavy guns.

Finally, mamillo concluded: "because of the strength of Canon's forces, at least on the surface, no one is willing to provoke it. Even your four pirates are the same, so the two knights stationed in that city have been used to comfort. Because of this comfort, they even refused the order of the papal hall to send other knights to change their defense on many pretexts."

"Very good, then our goal can be basically finalized. That's it!" zero heavy took a picture on the fortress city and said: "however, fasero can't let go."

Mr. X said movingly, "we can't swallow so many things."

"No, I didn't plan to really attack it. Just, don't let our Sauron adults be too idle."

As everyone knows, zero means feint to hide that their real goal is the fortress canon. Such falsehood and falsehood are true and true, which is also in line with the way of deceptive soldiers. When the canon war began, the papal hall responded later.

Fortress canon, in addition to some suspicion of being strong in the outside and weak in the middle, zero also likes its geographical location. The fortress is located at the throat of the blood stained road. Even if the papal hall wants to recapture the fortress, it is not so easy. In this process, as long as zero runs properly, it will soon stand firm here. Next, we can gradually enter the inland areas through interests and force.

In terms of interests, if we win canon, the three affiliated oil well platforms can create an endless stream of wealth. In the new era, although there are new energy sources, oil is still the largest energy raw material. These three oil well platforms alone represent more interests than the port of fasero. As for force, it is not enough to rely solely on the pirates in hand to continue to work, but it is also not difficult to solve. Zero believes that there are many people who are dissatisfied with Sauron, especially those who live hard on the outer islands. As long as a suitable opportunity, zero can turn them into their own soldiers.

The battle of roaring Bay is very important. It is a war related to the fate of countless people in the whole western continent. Its impact is not limited to pirates and the papal hall. With this war, zero really feels that the situation of this continent is quietly changing in his hands.

Then there was another busy time.

Olan's equipment began to arrive one after another in four days. Along with the equipment were several officers who would be responsible for teaching pirates to use this batch of electromagnetic equipment. It is estimated that Mr. X has never been so busy in recent decades. He is not only responsible for counting materials, but also counting the pirate's own property. After several days and nights of fighting, a stack of forms were handed over to zero.

At a glance, I couldn't help smiling bitterly.

The pirates are really not so rich. After the statistics of the resources of the sea house, if all the assets are converted into gold coins, they are only about 500000. At present, there are only 70000 or 70000 gold coins in cash. Gold coins are hard currency promoted by the Pope's hall. Precious metals are a currency for preserving value in any age. However, this money is not enough to pay olan's first payment. Fortunately, olan does not pursue it.

Zero does feel a problem. He is still very poor. Poor enough to fight another war, if they don't get resources, the following people will be unable to open the pot.

Then there is the problem of correcting the name of pirates.

If we continue under the banner of pirates, in the eyes of most people, it is just a game between officials and bandits. However, if zero wants to continue to advance, it needs the support of more funders on the one hand, but on the other hand, it needs the support of the people. If you want to win the hearts of the people, you can no longer pretend to be a pirate, but at least set up an image of righteousness in the eyes of the common people.

After a few days of deliberation and discussion with the captain below, zero decided to call itself the revolutionary army. The pirates originated from the sea, and their force was named Poseidon regiment. The Poseidon regiment is divided into three armies, headed by three captains: Manshan, hindrella and hook. Each army, including officers, has a conventional establishment of 1000, which is basically the establishment of a cavalry squadron.

Zero nature is the leader of the revolutionary army, and the capable people under his command are an independent combat group, not included in the Poseidon regiment.

Next, standing in front of zero, is the problem of military training. When entering the western continent, pirates naturally can no longer be in the state of loose sand, and their combat effectiveness is really limited. Therefore, it is urgent to classify the members of Poseidon regiment according to their abilities and specialties, and then add systematic training to make them become several characteristic arms.

Of course, there is not so much time for zero to practice. But at least, we should teach these guys how to obey the command and how to fight like a soldier!
