"Cement road? I heard that it's the same hard road as the one in Liyue. It costs a lot of money and there's no profit to be made. You're not planning to rebel against Master Xuan for this reason, are you?"
"Um... let's not talk about this." Kamisato Ayaka's eyes turned away unnaturally.
"Okay. With this fog and so many strange beasts, can we really win? It feels like everyone has gone a little crazy.
Are the fog and the strange beasts such a simple problem? I saw that flying thing in the military camp before. It would be a drop in the bucket to transport one or two hundred people here, right?"
“It’s unclear what the final outcome will be, but countless facts over the years have proven that if you follow his footsteps, you can reap the rewards.
This time is also an opportunity. Military merits and wealth are waiting for people to claim in Heguan. The rewards are too generous. Naturally, the rich will contribute money and the strong will contribute strength. "
"It seems that among the Inazuma, only your Society Executive Family followed Master Xuan to seize several purple crystal mines and made a lot of money."
“That’s why the major families in Inazuma City have become so anxious. There are still many areas that are blank and should contain a lot of good things.
Master Xuan also asked us to make a good sustainable development strategy. The area where these top-quality medicinal materials and spiritual medicines can be grown can be said to be a top-notch Feng Shui treasure land.
If you don't maintain it well and it gets ruined, it will be a one-time deal and you'll never get it again.
Inazuma's products are not very abundant, and many things need to be imported. Tsurugan, a treasure island that can produce resources, will only become more and more important."
"Yes, I understand. If the problem of Heguan can really be solved, the importance of this place will be comparable to that of the outlying islands."
"By the way, I was just about to ask, when did you get married? Kujo Kamajima didn't seem to mention it either."
"No, I encountered a lot of things these days that I never thought of, and I also got new answers."
After talking about business, the two started chatting like best friends.
Chapter 268 Liyue's Preparations
Inside the shipyard in the new city area of Liyue Harbor.
A special large ship is undergoing final preparations.
Beidou was standing in the aisle at the side, looking at this special "ocean-going freighter", with mixed feelings, or perhaps excitement.
Only those who sailed on the sea knew how many problems the first generation of ocean-going cargo ships had, and how much effort they put into solving these problems.
When I talked about it with Lin Zixuan, he even humiliated me. He said that this was called the accumulation of technology, and every technology gradually became perfect after repeated failures.
The second-generation ocean-going freighters built later did not have so many problems. This new ship belongs to the third-generation technology and is also a new attempt.
Ningguang, Keqing, Tianshu and other big guys also came to the shipyard and looked at the special ship in front of them.
The huge deck is even longer than the hull, with white lines carved on it.
The cab is built on one side of the deck and looks a bit small. The crane next to it is lifting a special trailer onto the deck.
"Is this the newest battleship?" Keqing looked at the maintenance work below.
“In his words, this ship represents Liyue’s most advanced technology at this stage,” Ningguang said with some pride.
"I don't see the location for the mountain gun, nor the weapon that shoots beams on the tank. Is it hidden?
And I seem to have seen this pattern on the deck somewhere before, where exactly is it?" Keqing pondered.
"Of course you have seen it, it's the pattern on the airport grounds!"
"!!!The pattern on the airport grounds? Could it be?"
"The ultimate product of the combination of the navy and the air force - the aircraft carrier, the hegemon of the sea."
Everyone present gasped.
"You can actually do this? Doesn't that mean those planes can carry 'peace' to anywhere?"
"That's right. This method solves the problem of aircraft supply and is a powerful tool for expeditions."
A secretary quickly ran over to Ningguang.
"Lord Ningguang, the fleet of planes will arrive here in about ten minutes."
"Speed up the preparation progress, adjust the direction of the crane according to the plan, and open the shipyard roof!"
"Yes!"
The roof of the shipyard slowly moved away, and the sun shone on the aircraft carrier belonging to Liyue. The reflection of the paint and the thickness of the steel made the people present once again witness the beauty of steel art.
The first plane appeared from a distance, aimed at the runway on the deck, and began to land. The tail hook successfully hooked the arresting cable, allowing the plane to stop safely.
Dozens of people suddenly appeared on the deck, which was originally empty. They used a trailer to tow the plane to the parking position and readjusted the arresting cables.
Soon, fifteen new aircraft landed on the aircraft carrier.
Everyone present stared at the planes landing in a daze, their flushed faces proving that they were equally excited inside.
"Inazuma sent a message that we in Liyue have obtained the mining rights to the northwest and northern areas of Inazuma Tsuruguan. But there are countless exotic beasts and demonic beasts there.
This time, we need to fight together with Inazuma and eliminate the strange beasts on Heguan in order to get the mining rights completely.
Therefore, this long-distance battle is not only of great significance to us, but also a major test." Ningguang told the big guys the news.
“Heguan? I remember it’s quite far from Liyue. When I traveled there a few years ago, I was teleported there to have a look. It’s shrouded in fog, so the chances of winning must be very low, right?” Keqing said she was not optimistic about this battle.
"The fog was not formed naturally. After Xuan investigated, he found a solution and he is already making preparations over there."
When everyone heard that Master Xuan had already dealt with it, they began to think about other issues.
"What's the profit over there?" Keqing asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"Very lucrative. There is a complete Wuxiang Rock in Zhibi Mountain in the north, and natural amber has grown all around it. There are also various spiritual medicines and medicinal herbs nearby.
The entire island has not been developed for thousands of years, and there are countless rare treasures. It will be a place where you can make a fortune in the future."
"Amber? Miraculous medicine? That's indeed worth paying attention to." Keqing nodded.
"Another purpose is to train our troops. Most of the powerful monsters in Liyue have been wiped out by that Immortal Xiao.
In addition, the Hill Chows have been confined within the scope of Jueyunjian, and they have not come out to harm the people. This has led to our Qianyan Army being able to play with the likes of Hua Qianqian and Slime, and some pride and complacency have been brewing in the army.
You have all read the relevant files about how brutal the Layered Rock Battle 500 years ago was. All the Thousand Rocks soldiers at that time paid with their lives.
This time is equivalent to a replay of the original war. Ah Xuan will personally take charge and will not provide any help unless the situation is out of control.
Liyue has not seen a war for hundreds of years. All previous battles were minor, but this time is completely different. It can be said to be a rare opportunity to gain military merit, but it will also be a major reshuffle.
Some families have held positions in the Qianyan Army for generations, and some families have used connections to enter the Qianyan Army, but how many of these people are real generals? This war will reveal their true colors.
If these strange beasts and monsters were allowed to flee Heguan in all directions, it would be equivalent to the monsters from the great battle at Layered Rock Chasm rushing into Liyue Harbor via other routes.
The Qianyan Army, which was fully equipped with weapons, equipment, and follow-up supplies, ended up with this kind of result, leaving Ah Xuan to clean up the mess. You all know the consequences, don't I need to tell you?"
After Ningguang finished speaking, several people began to sweat. Most of Liyue's current generals had no actual combat experience in commanding large-scale battles alone.
In addition, with the developments in recent years, the application of some new weapons on the battlefield in many situations is different from the strategies in military books.
The most important thing is that Master Xuan is supervising the army throughout the whole process, so no matter how little tricks you try, you can’t do anything. You can only get military merits based on your real abilities.
After everyone paid tribute to the statue of Rock King, a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony was held and the aircraft carrier began its first sea trial.
"Hyperion? What a difficult name to pronounce." Keqing started to complain as she looked at the name on the ribbon-cutting stage.
"The name was chosen by Lin Zixuan. The specific name is: Liyue Hyperion Floating Battleship Series First Generation Aircraft Carrier Version."
"Floating battleship? Series?"
"This ship can indeed float, but only for a short time. It is equipped with the latest floating stone stabilization system, which increases the number of times this ordinary floating stone can be used to three times. But it can basically only be used to save lives when the ship is sinking, or to accelerate and escape in an emergency."
"With such a huge expenditure, can Liyue's finances sustain it?"
"So far, there are no problems. The Crystal Car Race next month, plus the new things to sell, will bring in a lot of tax revenue. Not to mention the profits from this year's Inazuma Open Source."
"If possible, I also want to make a floating battleship. I wonder if it can go to another world?" Keqing sighed as she looked at the aircraft carrier.
"There will be a chance in the future. Liyue is not yet so luxurious as to build one for each individual."
After the closed ribbon-cutting ceremony, gossip began to spread in Liyue Harbor. People who smelled business opportunities arranged for people to go to Inazuma to carry out preliminary preparations.
The internal transfers of the Qianyan Army were even more frequent. The reconnaissance troops, infantry troops, tank troops, medical troops, etc. were all in a frenzy. They all hoped to be selected and go to Inazuma.
The generals of the Qianyan Army, however, were both happy and worried. In the past, they just listened to Qixing's orders, and organizing a campaign against the hillbillies was considered a great achievement.
Now, they had to use the troops at hand to fight against those strange beasts and monsters. Moreover, Master Xuan was the military supervisor. This burden and pressure made many generals lack confidence and worried about gains and losses.
Finally, three powerful men at the God's Eye level were selected to lead the team to fight against the strange beasts in Heguan.
Heguan stronghold.
"Ying, why do I feel like there are a lot more people here?"
"It seems like they all have divine eyes. They must have rushed here after hearing the news, right?"
"Let's go look for Chisato Hiiragi first."
"Ah."
Ying and Paimon also arrived at the gate of Tsurugan's Kanjo Bugyofu and saw Hiiragi Chisato and Kamsato Ayaka walking out.
"Linghua! Qianli!" Paimon greeted loudly.
"Ah! It's the traveler Ying and little Paimon." Linghua was also surprised to meet them by chance.
"Qianli, we got the certificate from the Adventurer's Association. Here it is." Little Paimon handed a stack of documents to Qianli.
"???" Hiiragi Chisato took the document and looked it over. "Thank you, I think the staff in the mansion asked you to do it, right? But these things are not important now."
"Then why isn't it important after Shinnojo did so much for you?" Paimon became angry.
"Ahem." Kamisato Ayaka interrupted them. "Little Paimon misunderstood. Chisato meant that she has already accepted Shinnojo. The hairstyle on her head is a hairstyle that we Inazuma can only wear after marriage."
"!!!Really?" Paimon widened his eyes.
"But Shinnojo is dead, and I can't repay this favor. Kujo Kamajima's actions really disappointed me. I have a guess."
"What's the guess?"
"In this battle to subdue the strange beasts, Kujo Kamaji will not appear in Tsurukan!"
"Well... maybe it is. Both Coral Palace Xinhai and Kamisato Ayato have the Eye of God. If there is something important, they can be teleported.
Neither you nor Kujo Kamajima has the Eye of God. It has been almost a month since you came back and forth. It will be difficult for him to come to Tsuruguan.
Unless he really misses you." Ying also analyzed Kujo Kamajima's situation.
"I think he should let Kujo Sara come over, right? Let me say something good about him to you." Paimon spread his hands.
"I'm not interested in saying anything good about him." A voice came from behind.
"Huh? It's Sara!"
Chapter 269 Someone appears unexpectedly
The appearance of Kujo Sara made Kamisato Ayaka, who had originally planned to leave, return to the reception room, and Ying and Paimon were also invited to discuss the matter together.
"Sara, is it true that Kujo Kamajima can't come this time?" Paimon asked curiously.
"Because Tsurugan is too dangerous, the master's martial arts are average, and he doesn't have the Eye of God. So this time it was his eldest brother Kujo Masahito who led the shogunate army.
Moreover, this is a joint operation between Liyue and Inazuma. Inazuma cannot weaken its momentum. More shogunate troops will be dispatched, which will also lead to the emptiness of Inazuma Castle.
In addition, the news has spread, and many people from Teyvat will go to Inazuma. Someone is needed to stabilize all aspects of Inazuma City.
After considering all the circumstances, the old men and staff of the clan decided to let Kujo Kamajima guard Inazuma Castle while his brother came to Tsurugan. "
"Kujo Masahito? I seem to remember seeing him at Kujo Jinya. He was a very imposing warrior."
"When the family head was re-elected, almost 90% of the people supported him as the family head, and only 10% supported Kujo Kamaji. If he hadn't given the position of family head to Kujo Kamaji, Kujo Kamaji would never have been able to become the family head.
We, as family generals, need a leader who can issue orders according to the battle situation and has real wisdom, rather than the current one who hands over strategies to the staff, thinks about it for a long time, but still can't give any results.
To put it nicely, this approach is called far-sightedness, but to put it bluntly, it is called lack of independent thinking.
Kujo Masahiro said that Kamajiro is more suitable to be the head of the family. In my opinion, he needs at least three to five years of training before he can take on the responsibility of the head of the family. "
"Hand over the strategy? Wait? Saro, you don't know the plan to kill Shinnojo, do you?"
"Of course I know."
"Eh???"*4
"Sa Luo, didn't you try to stop it?" Paimon said angrily, with his hands on his hips.
"Because he neither agreed nor refused. How can I stop him?
