How Am I Still Alive?

The intersection of timelines and world lines will always bring about some specious changes.

At the beginning of the new century, no matter which world line it was, the navy of the Eastern Kingdom was not strong. And in this world line, it was even weak enough to be ignored.

This is mainly due to the fact that the force system in this world is too distorted. Compared with strong ships and powerful guns, it is really inferior to the high cost of building a speedboat with several quasi-magical strong ships and powerful guns. In this extraordinary world, the price/performance ratio is too low.

In particular, the form of this world is also quite subtle. Citigroup does not have the ability to invest its power in the first island chain, and Dongguo has no need to fight against it.

Due to the relatively relaxed relations between countries and the high cost of sea transportation, there is no need to maintain a large navy. Although the cost of land transportation is also terrifyingly high, it is still less expensive than suffering from unknown giant beasts and exotic life forms in the ocean. Too much security.

The real core strategic area of ​​the East Kingdom is the huge railway network connecting Europe and Asia. This centralized transportation also facilitates defense.

With such a political and geographical situation, it is natural that Dongguo has always maintained a huge and terrifying army. At the same time, it also has a large-scale airship air force.

But now, it is necessary to form a navy.

"New resignation? Regional military commander? Me? Are you kidding me?!"

I had just arrived in the mainland and had not rested for two days after returning to the ancient city. An appointment almost confused Lu Pingping.

"The name requires high-level combat power. At the same time, it also gives you some responsibility. Real dispatch and command will not count on you, a non-professional."

When Lu Ping An returned to the ancient city, he originally planned to inquire about the situation. He wanted to at least communicate with Lin Nu Church to see how they planned to deal with it.

As a result, when he got home, many parties came to the door at the same time. For fear that he would not understand the situation, they sent a bunch of information.

Lu Ping'an frowned, looked at the appointment letter and the scope of responsibilities, made a phone call, and chatted with the leaders of the ancient city (this was his official ally) before he stabilized.

Facing the increasingly dangerous maritime situation, we must deal with it. If coastal cities and states only rely on their own defense, tragedies will continue to happen.

Rebuilding a navy, at least a mobile marine corps, is the only solution.

Even if an attack is still inevitable, as long as reinforcements come quickly enough, the losses can at least be reduced. Generally speaking, most civilian casualties are caused by looting and massacre after the city is broken.

"The planned third corps will be organized as the police because it is convenient for budget preparation and does not require a national conference to reorganize military affairs. Upgrading to the army is just a matter of completing the procedures next year. These new departments will also have to prove their worth."

The coastline of the East Kingdom is too long, and it is impossible to survive with just one or two legions. Wan Jing's plan is to set up more than six military regions along the coastline and station mobile brigades.

In this way, if a certain area is attacked, the corresponding responsible troops will immediately take action, and other redundant legions can also provide further support.

"Why me? There are many who are qualified to be the captain."

It is a common practice that this kind of troops need top-level combat power to guard them. Lu Ping'an's strength is good, but it is not as good as the veteran eighth level, let alone the quasi-god.

"Because of your special status."

First of all, with constant "meritorious service", Lu Ping'an really has the rank of lieutenant general who has just been promoted. At the same time, the official internal evaluation is that he is above level eight, which is enough to lead the army.

In addition, the backbone of these legions must be foreign combat forces recruited and recruited from the ocean world, and the third legion designated by Lu Ping'an is the main force from Mercury 42.

The Long-Handed Clan and the Free Murlocs are both indispensable. Lu Ping'an's reputation is there, which can maximize his power.

Of course, the most important thing is the position responsible for the third brigade (legion).

"Wailongzhou and the surrounding areas?"

At this time, Lu Ping'an completely understood and did not refuse any more.

Considering his relationship with Lin Nu's southern faction, this is really the most suitable place for him.

As for the specific leadership of high-level combat forces and the specific person in charge is appointed internally by the official, it is considered a traditional practice. Lu Ping'an only needs to show up when necessary. It would not be a good thing for him to really intervene in the details.

"Just be prepared for high-level combat. To put it bluntly, it's such a simple thing."

Lu Ping'an was very discerning. He also noticed that the edge of his defense line was the outlet of the river. If it was handled well, the cities along the river would be much safer, including his own ancient city.

Lu Ping'an also knew that even if he had a name, he wouldn't be able to command a large-scale legion in combat, at least according to written information, he wouldn't be able to do it.

Of course, there are also some things that each other knows but cannot put on the table.

If the legion is led by an extraordinary "warlord", its combat power will increase significantly, and Lu Ping'an is really a rare high-level warlord. His characteristics of the black knight direction also prevent him from openly publicizing it, but he can still be used as a necessary The source of the trump card.

In the next three days, Lu Pingan participated in a series of video conferences. Judging from the results, he was quite satisfied.

On the one hand, all parties really paid attention to it, did not fool around, and really came up with elite troops and strong generals. More importantly, he did not have much responsibility. He was more responsible for all parties (officials, the army, Lin Nu’s forces, Mercury 42 (power), after doing a good job of "display" and "signboard", he has sufficient autonomy to act.

This time the team vacation is quite short, and each team has a few days to deal with their own affairs.

Whether it is purchasing military supplies or going home to see their relatives, they must report quickly after completing the work. After all, they may really be dispatched to the front line next.

Lu Ping'an is not in a hurry. He lets his staff spread out and make their own choices.

Whether to continue doing business or consider going to the front line, it is all possible. The Chamber of Commerce is the Chamber of Commerce, and the army is the army. Lu Ping'an does not need to force this aspect, and cannot force it.

He also rarely becomes diligent. On the one hand, he communicates with Gucheng and Changpingzhou to understand the situation in his hometown.

"Just guard the Yangtze River estuary, and Gucheng is in the middle of the Yangtze River, so the pressure is really not great."

As an inland in the inland, Gucheng is relatively safe while lacking development opportunities.

On the other hand, it is his main job to conduct various meetings and receptions.

Most of them are old acquaintances from Mercury 42. Lu Ping'an's "old face" can make them quickly accept the status quo and become a member of the third brigade.

Among them, Lu Ping'an met an unexpected but reasonable old friend.

"Brother Guan, why are you here? Aren't you just one step away from becoming a god? If you leave, how will you become a god?!"

"Redemption Quasi-God" smiled at his old brother and patted his shoulder.

"If I don't come, what's the point of becoming a god?"

Happy Dragon Boat Festival.
