Chapter 53: Existence is Deterrence
Chapter 53: Existence is deterrence
The sudden appearance of Aisinger suddenly calmed the entire battlefield, and all the warships that were firing or preparing to fire stopped. The shock of the crew was one of the reasons why these warships stopped firing, and the other reason was shock. Aisinger's greatest ability was not to directly participate in the war, but its shock ability. As long as Aisinger stopped near the battlefield, regardless of whether he participated in the war directly, his powerful shock ability would completely destroy the opponent's fighting will. Faced with such a large mobile fortress, although the British had thousands of warships parked on this strait, no one dared to continue firing.
The fleets of various countries were still shocked, and Aisinger had already taken action first. The huge city fortress first showed up in large numbers, and then the city protection system was also activated. Millions of air cavalry and flying monsters appeared over the fleets of various countries. In this game, Aisinger was a nuclear weapon, and it was deterrent, and it could work without using it directly.
Faced with sudden changes, the captains of warships from various countries urgently ordered the artillery position to remove the loaded shells to avoid accidental shooting due to emotional tension. The accidental shooting just now only advanced what must have happened a little bit. If there is another accidental shooting, and if it mistakenly hits Aisinger, no one wants to see it. I think it is definitely more dangerous than Aisinger on the sea on land. With its size, there is no need to attack directly, it just needs to be suddenly closed.
All the power can be smashed into the sea. Throwing a stone into the water can stir up a wave. Everyone knows how big Aisinger is. If it suddenly falls into the water, the waves rising around can be called a tsunami. Considering that Aisinger has the power to destroy any fleet on the sea surface, the commander of any fleet will not consider fighting at sea with Aisinger. For the above reasons, it is easy to understand that these captains ordered the withdrawal of the shells.
Before the shells of warships of various countries had completely withdrawn, a huge sound suddenly sounded over Isinger. To be precise, this was a person's voice was emitted through multiple speakers. Isinger has an advanced amplified broadcasting system, and it is very simple to broadcast to the outside world. At this time, Hongyue was sitting in front of the broadcast position and broadcasting towards all the people on the surrounding sea. Since Hongyue had already started the translation system, the sounds broadcasted were heard in the ears of each player. This is the benefit of the game system. Players who need to listen to it will automatically recognize the language type when they log in.
"Now the fleets of various countries gathered in this sea area are paying attention to this. This is the Ice Singer Mobile Fortress belonging to the Frost Rose Alliance from China. The Great White Shark diving dock belonging to this sea area recently. Thank you for your protection of my stranded ships during this period. Now the rescue forces of our guild have arrived. You do not need your protection here for the time being. Please return to your respective ports to leave room for us for activity. The guild will thank you again here."
Everyone knows what these national warships come to do, but what Hongyue says now cannot be called a lie. To be precise, what Hongyue uses now is called political language. This is a lie that the whole world knows is a lie. The speaker does not expect to use it to deceive people, and the listeners also know what the speaker wants to express.
Seeing the current situation, the fleets of various countries are also very wise. Unless Aisinger lands, it is invincible at sea. It is impossible to turn against us now. No one is so stupid that he will rob him in front of us after Aisinger arrives. That is completely impossible.
After considering the situation on the scene, the fleets of various countries began to turn around and leave. If they stayed, they could only hurt their self-esteem. Seeing that there was no guild in Aisinger, he dared to say that he had an invincible fleet or something. At present, no warships in various countries had weapons that could destroy Aisinger's main structure. Therefore, the warships had no ability to fight back in front of Aisinger.
While warships from various countries began to retreat, Aisinger also began to move above the Great White Shark, and hundreds of steel cables were placed down from the bottom of the city. The Great White Shark was too fast at that time and rushed into the shallow sea area too far. It was possible to damage the hull structure by simply dragging it. We planned to hang the Great White Shark directly and transport it to the deep sea area. Anyway, Aisinger had enough power to hoist the Great White Shark.
The members below were busy connecting the cables. Ashufude climbed up Aishinger first. After seeing me, Hongyue and the others, Ashufude spoke excitedly and was abnormal. "You finally came. It would be unimaginable to be one step later! The bandits below could not wait to take action. They had just started a round of artillery attacks before you arrived just now. If you hadn't suddenly appeared and shocked them, my fleet would have been completely destroyed."
"We are just catching up just now." Hongyue emphasized that we have tried our best.
I also said to Ashufude: "To be honest, I was really lucky this time. I just couldn't come here just a little bit. This also includes the black hole monster crystal core you provided. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to build this teleporter to send the entire Aishinger over at one time!" At this point, I stopped for a while before looking at Ashufude with a smile.
Ashufude took a cautious step back. "What are you going to do when you smile so sinisterly?"
I chuckled and approached him and said, "Calculate the aftermath with you."
"I knew you wanted to ask me for money." Ashufude and I have worked together for so long and know my style very well. Although I am a person who is generous in some things, in principle I will not give up the benefits I should strive for. Ashufude said calmly: "Tell me! It is my responsibility to hit the Great White Shark this time, and I will bear the reasonable expenses."
"It's easy to do with you." I took out a big notebook and was stopped by Ashufude as soon as I started to recite it.
"Hey, no! It's just a stranded, why did you get such a big bill?"
"Don't be afraid. This is my record book. I just used it to record it temporarily. Your bill is not that much."
"Scared me!"
I smiled and said, "Okay, let's start to settle the accounts now. First of all, the stranding of the Great White Shark will inevitably cause a certain hull collision, and you must be responsible for the maintenance costs."
"Of course. Just hand over the bill to me after the inspection." Asu Fude was so happy that he would not bargain with us if he had already confirmed things.
I continued: "After this stranding, we attracted so many warships from countries to concentrate here to seize the Great White Shark. In order to protect the Great White Shark, we had to find a way to make Isinger quickly arrive here. Fortunately, we successfully obtained this long-distance teleportation technology, so that Isinger can reach here quickly. But...!" I paused for a while and continued: "It cost a lot of money to build this equipment. However, considering that this equipment is not useless for Isinger, it can be used many times in the future. So we will not build the construction cost with you. However, the crystal core of the black hole monster I took from you was taken to build this equipment, so even if we cleared it, will our guild give you money for the crystal core again?"
"Yes." Ashufude nodded in agreement.
I smiled and said, "The last comparison is the account. The space jump device needs to consume a lot of energy every time it starts, and the source of energy is the priceless magic crystal, so the jump cost is very high. Our jump this time was entirely caused by your negligence and the Great White Shark stranding, so you should bear the cost of this jump. And when we return, there will be another jump, and you should bear it together."
"I have no objection to this." Ashufude still agreed to our request.
"That's good. There are only so many accounts. I will send someone to contact your guild after the specific content."
"Okay, don't worry about this. Our Iron Crusader is still very reputable."
"If you don't have credibility, I won't cooperate with you." I smiled and said to Ashufude: "Since I jumped over this time, I don't plan to run back immediately. I may be here to move. Do you have anything to help? Even if you speak, I guarantee the charge is fair."
"You mean renting Aishinger to me?" Ashufude asked in surprise.
I corrected: "It's not that I'm renting Aisinger to you, but that I'm renting him together. I can't let others manipulate Aisinger. Besides, Aisinger's control system is a city tree, and you can't control it! I'm just like being a mercenary. If you pay for it, we will help you eliminate disasters. What do you think?"
Ashufud only thought for a moment and agreed, "I do have a mortal enemy, his name is Slo Paderick. This guy's guild is the mortal enemy of our Iron Crusader. There are currently three major guilds in Germany, and the third guild is only one-quarter of the strength of our guild. It is basically not a threat to us. But Paderick's guild is comparable to the strength of our guild, and they are always inconsistent with us, and the two sides are constantly conflicting. In recent months, with the help of your guild, we have gradually begun to gain the upper hand, but Paderick's guild is still good. At the current speed, our guild wants to completely overwhelm them, so I want to use your troops to do it thoroughly. In this way, our guild will be the overlord of Germany, and it will be much safer for you to come to Germany again."
The other local adviser who followed Ashufude also spoke: "Now the system has a new regulation. If a certain guild has more than half of the total cities in a country, then the guild can apply to become the ruling guild of the country. Regardless of whether other players' guild agrees, the system will transfer all existing system cities within the country to the guild for custody, and this guild can represent the country's foreign form of diplomacy. If the guild wants to overthrow the guild's ruling guild.
The city is only destroyed until the number is less than half of the total number of cities in the country. The city hosted by this guild will not calculate the number of cities in this guild, so the guild must ensure that it has the strength to ensure the safety of its jurisdiction. If you help us completely destroy this hostile guild, our Iron Crusader may become the ruler guild of Germany. In the future, we can set China into a German alliance, so that the two countries can teleport each other without starting a transnational teleportation array."
"What? There is something like this?" I looked back at Hongyue in surprise. "Have you heard of it?"
Hongyue nodded. "I have heard of it for a long time. It's not as unfaithful as you, I know this news half a month ago. But you haven't read all the news. Even if your guild becomes the German Ruler Guild and recognizes China as an ally, it's just that the Chinese can transmit it from China to Germany at will, but it's still not possible to teleport back from Germany. There must be a guild to become the Chinese Ruler Guild and recognizes Germany as an ally. The two countries can truly achieve a thorough transmission channel. Moreover, there will be a system-opening space gate between the two countries to form a connection similar to a land channel, and the two countries can freely communicate."
Ashufude immediately looked at me and said, "If I want to become a ruler guild in China, I think it's only your guild."
Ying interrupted Ashufude and said, "You think it's too simple, right? China is not as good as Germany. Your country is only more than 350,000 square kilometers, but our country has 9.6 million square kilometers. The number of cities is quite scary compared to Germany. If you really want to control more than half of the cities, our guild needs to expand the number of members to more than 3.5 million, otherwise there is no need to expect it at all. China is too big, and it is unlikely that it will appear as a ruler guild."
"You are also real, you can actually use opportunistic methods!" Ashufude said: "Don't your guild have a city called Honor City? There is a small city around that city. Isn't this method actually very good?"
I looked at Ashufude and said, "What do you mean is that we can quickly build a large number of micro-cities to increase the number. In this way, we can achieve the goal of controlling half of the total number?"
"Ashufude is right." Rose suddenly walked over from behind.
"Wife, why did you show up? Where did you go just now?"
Rose came over and leaned in my arms and said, "Isn't it all you have caused? I suddenly said I wanted to find the crystal core of the black hole monster, but I went to find it for you. But I knew that as soon as I found one, I returned to the ground city of Aisinger, I heard that you had already gathered all the crystal cores and left, which made me go for nothing."
"You just said that Ashufude's method is right, how do you do it?" I quickly interrupted so that Rose would not get angry at me again.
Rose immediately explained to me: "The area of our country is indeed relatively large, but the number of cities is not as terrifying as you think. It is because the country is large. Therefore, the city density is not as high as European countries. Although large cities have a large population, no matter how large it is, it is only one. Therefore, the number of cities in our country is not too exaggerated. Among these existing cities, the cities controlled by the system without the player guild are not counted into the number of cities that rulers. Therefore, what we really need to surpass is only half of the total number of players. Are there actually these players?
There are very small cities that are very miniaturized, and these guilds are not big. I think these small guilds can be brought into our guild camp through mergers. This is equivalent to increasing the number of our own guilds and reducing the number of remaining cities. In this way, you can gain the advantage of the number of cities with twice the result with half the effort. In addition, just like Ashufude said, we can completely build a large number of small cities, and these cities should not be too big, as long as they are not recognized as villages by the system. For example, the steel city is very suitable for building these small cities."
“Isn’t the desert in Gangcheng?”
"Yes." Rose said: "There are no cities near the Gangcheng, and the desert is all empty. We can build small cities around with the Gangcheng as the center. These cities do not need to have traps, just make sure they have a good city, and these cities can also become Gangchengcheng factory areas. We will build cities by imitating the workshops of large factories. One city is equivalent to a factory area. Anyway, it is inevitable that the heavy industrial base will be expanded. We might as well kill two birds with one stone to increase the number of cities."
"But what should I do if there are financial problems and security issues?"
"We can build a circle of defensive cities outside the desert. These cities are connected by teleportation arrays, magic trains and linear aircraft as traffic. Any point that is attacked can quickly form a defense. No matter which side the enemy attacks, it will be subject to full resistance, so we don't have to worry about defense. The enemy can destroy at most one city, but we don't care about small cities anyway. Then we can eliminate all the opponent's members. Such a large desert, the inside is scattered and built with small cities. The number should be more than half of the total number of players' cities. By the way, it is equivalent to controlling the desert."
"Oh my God! How much money will it cost! And there are not enough people!"
Rose said seriously: "The status of the Ruler Guild is not a false position, it has practical attributes and abilities. So you don't suffer any loss when working hard for this. Building those cities may cost some money, but not too much. Husband, don't bring Aisinger's standards to other cities. Aisinger was designed and built according to the luxurious Invincible Fortress standards. This time, the construction of ordinary industrial small cities around the city is only equivalent to the small outer factory area of the city, and it doesn't cost much at all. However, it is definitely necessary to expand the number of people in the guild. The number of players now is absolutely not enough, especially the number of non-combat players who do not directly participate in the war is very demanding."
Hongyue suddenly said: "In fact, it is easy to find non-combat players. Just go to the commercial areas of major cities to collect people. In the past, no guild has publicly recruited these non-combat players. Although our guild recruits good results, it does not take them seriously. If we really take them seriously, this aspect is actually the best move. After all, there are more players in this game than players in combat, so we can easily supplement these people."
"Since that's the case, you will go back and recruit players in this area immediately, but personnel must pay attention to the personnel inspection. Even if our guild expands, it must ensure the principle of eliteization. I don't want traitors and idle people. Also, the spies sent by Shadow Dancers to lurk within our guild have not yet figured out who they are. Although they set up a counter-espionage plan last time, I am still worried if I don't dig them out."
Rose said: "I have asked the guild affiliated organization Eye of Hell and the poisonous fangs to check this, and it should be a result soon."
"Hasn't I sent the fangs to Russia and India? When did I return to China?" I didn't even know that the fangs affiliated guild had returned to China.
Rose said calmly: "Not all of them have come back, only one-third of them have come back, and these people have not come back together. They have sent some special items to their country before returning in batches."
"Oh, so that's it."
What I arranged was quickly executed. Hongyue brought a large number of people back to the local area to recruit new members. The number of members of the guild is less than 120,000. It is indeed a bit difficult to suddenly expand to 500,000, but this is also impossible. Compared with the recruitment of this player, the number of npcs is more troublesome. Players can at least persuade the other party to join in various ways, and our guild itself is easy to recruit people, but Npcs are different. The number of npcs in a city must exceed the number of players, but most of them are useless free Npcs. This part is easier to deal with. As long as the city is completed, they will naturally pour in from nearby cities, and then they will quickly reproduce and increase to fill the number. What I am worried about now is the professional npcs, or the npcs that the guild belongs to.
