Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1029 Bai Tu's Career Plan

Zhou Xu could understand Bai Tu's thoughts.

But in fact, Bai Tu has a clear career plan in his mind, or in other words, his position in their Great Zhou army!
At this time, Zhou Xu decided to tell the other party his thoughts.

"Come on, Bai Tu, let's talk about the future strategic planning of the Great Zhou army."

Hearing this, Bai Tu's expression straightened.

Future strategic planning? This is a very important topic, Bai Tu immediately became serious.

Zhou Xu quickly spread out a newly drawn map of the southern border, which had the volcanic island added to it.

"Let's not talk about the other frontiers for now. Let's just talk about the southern border today. Before the sea was discovered, we only had one type of war situation, which was land warfare. Apart from that, we didn't need to consider anything else. But now the situation is different..."

As Zhou Xu spoke, he pointed to the area marked as 'sea' on the map.

"With the discovery of the sea, a new battlefield environment has emerged. In the future, the war situation in the direction of the southern border will inevitably become a combination of land and sea warfare."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu casually pointed to a direction on the map.

"Suppose that our Great Zhou Navy explores in this direction and discovers an island or continent, and a battle breaks out with the enemy. After our navy successfully defeats the enemy's naval forces and captures the opposite port, what should we do next?"

Bai Tu is not a fool either. His three-star intelligence is enough to prove that he is smarter than most people in this world.

At this point, he had already reacted.

"Switch to land warfare and capture the opposite land city!"

"Yes! We have to switch to land warfare!"

Zhou Xu quickly agreed.

"That's right. This is also the main reason why I set up a special marine corps when I was planning for the navy."

"You can't wait for the land forces to come after you capture the harbor, right? That would delay all the war plans!"

"So according to my idea, the navy must immediately switch to land warfare after fighting a naval battle, and a seamless switch is required in between. Therefore, my requirements for the navy are often higher. It must be compatible with the combat capabilities of the land forces. And this is also my expectation for you!"

"My request to you is not only that you become an excellent army commander, but also that you become a commander of both the army and the navy!"

Zhou Xu's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Bai Tu's ears.

Bai Tu had never thought that their Majesty would have such great expectations of him.

Although he had seen many ups and downs and had developed the ability to remain calm in the face of emergencies, he was still too excited to control himself after hearing these words from their Majesty himself.

"I will never let your majesty down!!"

Almost at the same time as he shouted this sentence, Bai Tu's loyalty increased and officially reached ninety points, making Zhou Xu smile with satisfaction.

As he relied more and more on Bai Tu over the years, his loyalty increased steadily, but it got stuck after reaching eighty-nine points.

Zhou Xu knew that this was a watershed.

If the loyalty reaches 80 points or more, it means you are a loyal subject, but if it reaches 90 points or more, it means you are a die-hard loyalist! You are willing to risk your life for you!

The difference between the two is huge.

Under this premise, it is natural that Zhou Xu would have high hopes for Bai Tu and want him to become the commander-in-chief of both the navy and the army.

Because Bai Tu is currently the only general in the Great Zhou Dynasty with a five-star command besides himself! For a golden legendary commander like this, Zhou Xu naturally wants to maximize his value.

After expressing his expectations of him to Bai Tu, Zhou Xu turned the topic to Lin Youshu.

"Lin Youshu's talent for naval warfare is outstanding, but he doesn't have any advantages in land warfare. He is very biased, which has both advantages and disadvantages."

"The advantage is that once you successfully train him, he will most likely perform better than you in his strengths in the future. The disadvantage is that once we enter the landing battle phase, he will basically have no room to perform."

"Spend a few years and you can train him to be your adjutant. After all, when the battle comes, you will lead the troops to complete the landing. After the battle moves to land, the fleet will definitely need someone to command. This task can fall on Lin Youshu."

From this conversation, it was not difficult for Bai Tu to feel that their Majesty had really made clear arrangements for his future career planning. For a moment, Bai Tu was deeply moved.

Taking this opportunity, Zhou Xu also gave Bai Tu the mantra of "beast soldier control".

After all, he couldn't stay on the volcanic island forever. Once he finished the work at hand, it would be time for him to return.

But considering the existence of Chi Lian, we must always keep something in mind just in case.

Bai Tu, who has been leading troops and stationed here for a long time, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Don’t forget, in addition to having five-star command, Bai Tu also has four-star spirit!

Although he did not have much time to practice because he had to train soldiers and handle military affairs on a daily basis, his cultivation as a mantra mage was relatively average.

But considering his talent, there is still a high probability that he can become an extraordinary wizard.

As long as he successfully advances to the rank of transcendent wizard, then with his four-star mental power, combined with the mantra of 'beast soldier control', it would not be impossible for him to restrict Chi Lian, or even suppress her.

Zhou Xu also gave repeated instructions on this matter.

In the past, cultivation took a lot of time, and as a military commander he had a lot of things to do, so he had to make a choice and chose to lie down and practice.

But now with the help of meditation, the efficiency of practice has been greatly improved, so we should pay more attention to it.

In response to this, Bai Tu also agreed and said that he would definitely spend more time on cultivation in the future.

After finishing the conversation with their Majesty and returning to the military camp, Bai Tu pretended to ask his adjutant a question casually.

"I heard there's a new soldier?"

"Yes, it is being tested over there."

As he spoke, the adjutant pointed to the harbor in the distance.

At this moment, the other party is conducting a water test.

Bai Tu nodded and walked over casually.

Keeping Zhou Xu's instructions in mind, he did not make direct contact with the other party. He just glanced at him casually as if he was passing by and secretly memorized the other party's appearance.

After all, Bai Tu knew very well that, given his status, if he directly contacted or talked to the other party, it would be tantamount to giving the other party preferential treatment in disguise.

In the following days, Zhou Xu was still busy dealing with matters related to the volcanic island.

After completing the general development plan for the entire island and arranging all the things that needed to be arranged, Zhou Xu prepared to return to Black Moon City.
