Regarding the "Eternal Fortress Project", what is the key to executing this plan?

fortress?

Is it to build more defensive fortresses?

Since the name of the plan contains the word "fortress", a lot of bastion-style fortresses will definitely be built.

Zhou Ming estimated that about 10,000 fortresses would be built in the border areas of the outer defense line... an average of one fort every twenty miles along the border.

Of course, these 10,000 fortresses are all small fortresses with about 500 garrison troops. They will not be built very huge, which wastes a lot of resources and takes up too many manpower.

However, these fortresses are not the key to the success of the "Eternal Fortress Project". No matter how strong the fortress is, it will be breached one day... There are loopholes in any defense.

Therefore, the key to the success of the "Eternal Fortress Project" is to establish an isolation zone.

An artificially "cleared" isolation zone outside the fortress.

The width of this isolation zone is about 5,000 to 10,000 miles, and it probably contains all or most of the territory of about 50 Holy Kingdoms of Light.

Zhou Ming planned to send dozens of firearms legions to invade the fifty or so Holy Kingdoms of Light. After destroying the Holy See forces in these Holy Kingdoms, he would then conduct a thorough cleanup of these fifty or so Holy Kingdoms.

Clean up a population of 1 billion (the total population of the 50 or so Guangming Saints is probably about one billion).

Is the "cleaning up" here meant to kill them all, to wipe out a billion people?

Of course not all of them will be killed. With such a huge population, it is extremely difficult not only to kill them, but also to collect and control them, let alone kill them all.

And among these billion people, it is impossible for all of them to be devout believers in the God of Light, with their belief in God above all else.

Zhou Ming estimated that among the one billion people, excluding 40% of the old and young, there would be about 100 million of the other 60% of the population. They are nobles and rich people whose interests have been harmed. These people can be won over and let They serve the "Godless Alliance", and when the war is won in the future, they will be given titles and wealth... They are "potential allies".

There are about 400 million people who are ignorant and blind. Their belief in the God of Light will sometimes be strong and sometimes weak according to their own needs. They believe in the true God, but in most cases, they do not fully rely on the true God. Only when there are real difficulties will he temporarily hold on to the Buddha's feet... Zhou Ming also has a way to win over these people.

As for the remaining 100 million people, they are probably the so-called "fanatic believers". Their belief in God is above all else, and they look forward to entering heaven day and night to enjoy happiness. For these people, the only way to deal with them is through killing. .

In short, no matter what type of person they are, after taking over the 50 Holy Kingdoms of Light, Zhou Ming will send out professional teams one after another to test and screen the populations of each country, screen out all the fanatic believers, and after killing them, let the undead The mage extracted their souls, injected them into the soul crystal, and then made them all into magic dolls.

Yes, in order to defeat the Holy See of Light, Zhou Ming not only regarded the population as an important resource, but also focused on the souls of the dead. He recruited and trained necromancers on a large scale, gathered souls from all over, and produced large quantities of completely replaceable weapons. A human magic doll.

The magic dolls do not need to eat or drink. They can work day and night like a perpetual motion machine. When sent to the battlefield, they have no fear or escape mentality. They will only obey orders and charge forward, even if they suffer losses. A magic costume doll only loses a soul crystal which is not very expensive.

Therefore, in front of the Holy See of Light, which has an almost unlimited population, Zhou Ming is not afraid of the large number of people on the other side. Even the number of troops sent by the Holy See and the necromancers in his hands can collect as many souls as possible and create as many magical costumes as possible. .

The Holy See's demographic advantage can also be completely transformed into its "population advantage."

However, compared to living people, magic dolls have no independent thinking ability, and their ability to learn and create is even less. Some simple and repetitive things can be done, but more complex things can only be done by humans.

Therefore, Zhou Ming gave up his plan to transform those one billion people into one billion magic dolls, and decided to only transform those "crazy believers", and all other people migrated to the territory of the "Godless Alliance" and became their own. population resources.

This is called "purging".

But here comes the problem. Not to mention how the remaining 900 million people, not to mention the "fanatic believers" group, can complete the migration in a relatively short period of time. It is the food and various living materials that these 900 million people need to survive. How to allocate and satisfy God’s alliance?

You must know that this is a population of 900 million, which is twice as much as the current total population of the Godless Alliance. What kind of consumption is it, including food alone?

As for the Godless Alliance, which has just experienced a war, most of its food self-sufficiency is a problem, and it has to feed an additional 900 million people. This...

Isn't this a joke?

If the Holy See of Light knew this, they would probably laugh out loud.

I even wish you could gather more people, eat you up, make you poor, and eat you until you collapse.

So the food issue is a big problem.

Without solving this problem, the Godless Alliance will not be able to absorb more people and increase its war potential.

So how to solve the food problem?

import.

Imported from Waitrose Empire.

All the food rations and various materials needed by the 900 million people are imported from the Waitrose Empire.

But can the Waitrose Empire provide hundreds of millions of tons of food supplies?

It should be able to satisfy most of them... Because under Zhou Ming's guidance, the Waitrose Empire has launched an agricultural revolution in recent years, and its food output has increased by 30%. This increased output is enough to meet the food needs of one billion people.

If that's not enough, then look to the Magic City to solve some of the problems... Above the stars, the Magic City also has a large amount of food production areas.

In short, Zhou Ming is sure to meet the food needs of the 900 million newly added people in the Wushen Alliance and can feed them.

In this way, all the population of the 50 Guangming Saints will be moved into the Godless Alliance.

On the periphery of the Wushen Alliance, an "isolation zone" with a width ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 miles can be created.

And within this "isolation zone", Zhou Ming will send a large number of floating warships to destroy all habitable houses, destroy all roads and bridges; release poisons, pollute all arable land, and even the tall and dense forests. Burn them all, and finally create a vast "no man's land" artificially.

In this "no man's land", as long as the Light Legion enters on a large scale, at least for a distance of 5,000 miles, the Light Legion will not get any supplies except fresh water.

Not a single farmer.

Not a grain of grain.

Not a single house.

There are no roads or bridges.

Even the forest was completely destroyed.

Let me ask how many of the 10 million Army of Light, which has marched for more than 5,000 miles in such a "no man's land", has backward technological level and can only rely on people pushing and pulling horses to transport supplies, will finally reach the Godless Alliance. border?

And what is the most important thing about an army?

Food and supplies.

Without food and supplies, even an army of more than 100 million people would not be able to last three days.

Zhou Ming's purpose in setting up an "isolation zone" was to severely "test" the Holy See of Light in terms of food supplies.

Want to see how many of the unknown second wave of troops sent by the Holy See of Light can reach the border of the Godless Alliance under such conditions?

Once the "no man's land" is built, food supplies will become Zhou Ming's most powerful weapon!

So thinking of this, Zhou Ming sneered:

"There are so many of you. My eternal fortress is nothing to be afraid of!"
