Chapter 671

Olan's words shocked several people present, and she brought a huge amount of information. The funders behind the development of ISTA have contributed a lot. Franklin also said that he saw the rebels planning a general attack on the tower of abundance. It's a pity that soron was strangled in the cradle before he became popular, but it's not hard to see that the funders who can support ISTA are not simple.

Now, the rebel forces have the idea of transferring investment and merging. The battle of roar Bay gave him hope. It's just that it's not enough. Funders also want to see that the pirates led by zero have the ability to attack hard on land, so that they can invest more in them. It's human nature. It's the same with zero.

As for the merger or something, it sounds tempting, but I didn't even think about it. He didn't intend to hand over the pirate command, so it would be more ideal to maintain allies between the two.

"Don't worry, I'll give your grown-up a strong answer." Zero point first.

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

"There will be."

Olan's here. She's gone. However, she brought a lot of important materials, and also gave zero the chance to win the first sponsor. When the watchman leaves, he promises 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 olan part of the money when they arrived.

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 we have the equipment and the opportunity, it is very urgent to build a first base in the western continent. Mr. X's bar is temporarily used as a combat room, zero and several captains, as well as Mr. X and mamillo discuss the choice of stronghold. One is farcelo, a port city which is closest to roar Bay and only three days away from Whisperer channel; The other is relatively far away. It takes about a week's waterway to make landfall in the broken Bay. It takes the Emerald Forest to get to Kanon, a fortress city.

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

Abundant resources are the basis for pirates to have a foothold, and the journey must be controlled within a week, otherwise the long journey will leave too much space for preparation in the papal hall.

The problem now is that zero has to choose between the two cities as a target.

The port city of fasello was established in the past ten years, and belongs to an intermediate town. The permanent population is between 20000 and 30000. There are abundant iron ore, copper ore resources and a small and medium-sized uranium mine nearby. The residents of the city mainly make a living by mining, and a 300 man army is stationed in the city. Facero built perfect fortifications, but after all, facing the sea, there was no danger to be based on, so the fortifications were weak.

Every year, a large amount of ore and uranium will leave through the wharf of farcero, then enter the inland through a specially opened waterway, and then travel to new Rome. Because of its special location, only 300 kilometers away from farcero, it is the headquarters of the fourth division of the order. In the history of fasello, he was attacked by pirates many times, but he was repulsed by the fourth regiment's commander, signe, and his soldiers many times.

Therefore, the pirates are very familiar with Fabio and signe. To attack Fabio, they have to consider how to resist the counterattack from the fourth division. Of course, with zero combat power on hand, this knight order can be completely destroyed. Farcelo is worth doing this. Apart from being close and rich in mineral resources, what's more important is that the special waterway "the road of destiny" points directly to the hinterland of the western continent.

With the victory of farcero and the control of the channel, zero has the capital to march at full speed to the New Roman city.

Another city, Kanon, is a military fortress. At first, the papal hall was set up near the Emerald Forest, bordering on the eternal mountains. The west line of the eternal mountains and the Emerald Forest is flat, but later, the more it extends to the East, the higher the mountain trend. By the middle part of the mountain, the altitude of the mountain is nearly 2000 meters.

The eternal mountains go eastward and extend northward near Caesar Bay, forming a broad arc on the inland edge. This arc is a natural barrier for the inland area and even the New Roman city. In this era when it is impossible to support large flying units to achieve air combat, the eternal mountains are like a natural wall, guarding the only way to the Inland - the bloody road!

This road is also a very heavy stroke in the history of new Rome, representing the expansion of the papal hall. In that age of blood and fire, the Knights of new Rome paved the way 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 higher mutant animals in the western continent at that time had become the past, thus forming a glorious era dominated by human beings in the western continent.Guarding the bloody road was originally a checkpoint set up by the papal hall. Later, with the increasing number of troops, the checkpoint became a military base, and then the base gradually evolved into the fortress city of canon.

There are mainly two kinds of people living in Canon, one is soldier, the other is slave. There is no so-called citizen in canon. There is a clear distinction between the two classes. There is no grey area at all. The permanent population of Canon is about 20000, of which 80% are slaves. A large number of slaves were used to develop the wood mines in the Emerald Forest and a kind of cloud iron produced in the eternal mountains. What's more, it works for the three oil platforms in the area behind canon.

There are two divisions of the order, the 5th and 6th, with more than 4000 soldiers.

Zero's next target is one of these two cities. By contrast, Canon is superior to farcero in terms of strategic position and resources. But some people in Manshan think that it's more practical to attack farcello. After all, Canon is a fortress city, easy to defend but difficult to attack. The number of soldiers stationed in the city was far more than that of farcero, and to attack canon, it was necessary to fight on land. Because canon was built on the cliff, although it was close to the sea, it could not attack from the sea.

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

Looking at Manshan several people a force to attack facero, but mamilo seems to look disdainful. With a smile, he motioned for silence and asked, "Mr. mamillo, you were the head of the knight order. I don't know how to look at these two cities from your point of view? "

Mamillo was slightly surprised that he was here purely because of Mr. X. For this old boss's reverence, it was more dissatisfaction with Solon and the papal hall that made him choose the zero side. However, mamillo is very excluded here. Originally, he did not intervene in such a war meeting, but now he asks for his own opinions and gives him enough respect.

Mamilo doesn't know much about zero. But just because he can make pirates work for him and plan a miracle battle, mamillo will not treat him as an ordinary young man. He nodded and said, "if I were you, I wouldn't choose Fabio. There is no doubt that Fabio is much easier to play than canon. But that's why it's not worth fighting. "

The captains of Manshan and hindrella are strong in their own strength, but when it comes to leading the troops to fight, they naturally can't compare their vision with mamilo, who was born in the Knights' order. At a time when they all disapproved, zero unexpectedly said, "I agree with Mr. mamillo." "Of course, we can go inland quickly by water," he said, as soon as he landed on the channel leading to the hinterland. But don't forget, this waterway doesn't directly reach the city of new Rome. Its terminal is not short distance from Rome, and it has to cross several colonial cities. Here, it can be said that it is the home 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 will be only two options. One is to continue to go in depth alone, and the other is needless to say. If you go deep alone and don't get any supplies and cover, I doubt if you can support going near Rome. " With a faint smile, he put his hand on facero again: "since we can quickly reach the inland by water, the church hall can also quickly use troops against facero. What's more, after slapping the papal hall on roar Bay, as long as Solon is not a fool, he will understand that farcero, who is too close to roar Bay, is likely to become our second direct target. Maybe when we kill them, we will face one or more Knights' orders instead of just 300 soldiers. "

The finger moves again, comes to the top of Canon, and points down. Zero says indifferently: "so our goal is it!"

"I know what you want to say," he said with a sign. Kanon is a fortress. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It has a large number of troops. These are its advantages. However, under this advantage, there are many fatal diseases hidden in it. "

Zero looked at mamillo and asked, "I don't know how long it has been since Kanon had a war?"

Mamillo's eyes brightened. Although there were many people present, except him, only Mr. X probably knew the meaning of zero. Of course, Mr. X can't answer. After all, he left the order for a long time. So zero will ask him, and mamillo will not give up, said: "for a long time, at least 20 years there has been no war."

"It's really long enough. I'm a little curious. Do those soldiers in the fortress know how to hold guns?" A faint smile.

Manshan and hindrella began to grasp the true meaning of zero words, if there had been no war in 20 years, and the soldiers stationed in kanori had not been rotated. Such soldiers, even if they practice every day, can't compare their consciousness or quality with those who go to the battlefield every day. They are both veterans, even if we count them strictly."I don't know how often Canon will update the defense system, or its facilities are still the same as they were 20 years ago?"

Next, zero asked a series of questions. If it wasn't for mamilo who is here now, even hindrella, a native of the western continent, would not have been able to answer. Confidential information is already a kind of military secret. Naturally, it will not be known to outsiders. Mamillo is also very simple, he knows one by one list. For example, Kanon's defense system was last updated ten years ago. It can be said that it's an update. In fact, it's just a replacement of some old facilities. Generally speaking, Canon still uses things that were 20 years ago.

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

But all this can not avoid the key problem, that is, Canon as a fortress city has been comfortable for a long time, so long that even the outer wall, it is estimated that it can not resist a few heavy artillery bombardment.

Finally, mamillo concluded: "because of the strength of Kanon's forces, at least on the surface, no one is willing to provoke him. Even the four pirates are the same, so the two knights stationed in that city are used to ease. And because of this ease, he even used many excuses to refuse the order of the papal hall to dispatch other knights to change guard. "

"Good, then our goal can be basically finalized. That's it! " Zero heavy in the fortress city on a shot, and said: "however, facero also can't let go."

"We can't swallow so much," Mr. X said

"No, I'm not really going to attack it. It's just that we can't let our Sauron be too idle, and let's cover up our real targets and smoke. " Zero laughs.

As we all know, zero means feint to hide that their real target is fortress canon. Such falsehood, falsehood, and truth are also in line with the way of crafty soldiers. But when the canon war started, the papal Hall's response was already late.

In addition to the suspicion of being strong outside but weak in the middle, the fortress canon is also interested in its geographical location. The fortress is located at the throat of the bloody road, and even if the papal hall wants to recapture the fortress, it will not be so easy. In this process, as long as the zero operation is proper, we will soon be able to stand firm here. Next, we can gradually March inland through interests and force.

In terms of interests, if we win canon, then the three attached 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 platforms alone represent more interests than the port of farcero. As for force, it's not enough for the pirates to continue to work, but it's not difficult to solve. Zero believes that there are many people who are dissatisfied with Sauron, especially those who live a hard life on the outer islands. With a suitable opportunity, zero can turn them into its own soldiers.

The battle of roar Bay is of vital importance. It is a battle related to the fate of countless people in the whole western continent. Its influence is not limited to pirates and the papal chamber. With this war, zero truly feels that the situation of this continent is changing quietly in his hands.

Next came a busy time.

Olan's equipment began to arrive four days later, along with several officers, who will be responsible for teaching pirates to use these 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 pirates' own property. After several days and nights of fighting, a stack of forms to zero's hands.

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

The pirates are not so rich. According to the statistics of the resources of haizhijia, if all the assets are converted into gold coins, they are only half a million. At present, there are only 70000 gold coins in cash. Gold coins are the hard currency promoted by the papal hall, and precious metals are the currency with value preservation no matter what age. However, this amount of money is not enough to pay olan's down payment. Fortunately, olan does not pursue this.

Zero also does feel a problem. He is still very poor. If we are too poor to fight another war, those people below will be unable to open the pot.

Then there is the issue of naming pirates.

If we continue to fight under the banner of pirates, in most people's eyes, it is just a game between officials and bandits. However, in order to continue to move forward, we need more support from funders on the one hand, but on the other hand, we need more people's support. If we want to win the hearts of the people, we can no longer fight under the banner of pirates. At least we should erect a righteous image in the eyes of the common people.

After several days of deliberation and discussion with the captain below, zero decided to call himself the revolutionary army. The pirates originated from the sea, and the force under them was named Poseidon group. The Poseidon regiment is divided into three armies, headed by three captains, Manshan, hindrella and hook. Each army, including officers, has a regular establishment of 1000 people, which is basically the establishment of a squadron of knights.Zero nature is the leader of the revolutionary army, and his capable men are an independent fighting group, not included in the Poseidon group.

Next in front of zero is the issue of training. To march into the western continent, pirates naturally can no longer be as loose as before, and their combat effectiveness is really limited. Therefore, it is urgent to classify the members of Poseidon group according to their abilities and specialties, and then add systematic training to make them into several special arms.

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