The Mechanical Empire of the End of the World - Chapter 638
c638 More than half a century of preparation
It was not until late at night, until about two o’clock in the morning, that the last team of searchers returned to the airship on a “Vulture” transport aircraft.
Looking at the dark night sky outside the window, Li Meng said: “Xie Yun, rise to an altitude of 10,000 meters, set the end point of the voyage to “Black Flag City”, let it fly by itself, have a good sleep, we can return to Black Flag tomorrow morning city.”
Although this airship is not fully automated, it does have automatic navigation and semi-autonomous driving functions. Although it does not have intelligent AI, it does have intelligent programs.
Finally able to go home…
At Li Meng’s words, everyone on the bridge breathed a sigh of relief.
Calculating the time, they have been out on missions for more than half a year. For nearly seven months, it would be a lie to say they don’t want to go home.
Time passed little by little, the night gradually got deeper, and there was no words to say all night long…
Light and darkness are always alternating, and there will eventually be a moment of departure in the long night.
As the morning sun rises from the eastern sky, it announces the arrival of a new day.
Holy City, headquarters of the Knights Templar.
This is a castle-like building located on the side of the cathedral and is the headquarters of the Knights Templar.
In the office of the head of the Knights Templar, Peggy was meeting with the two men.
One is the Knight Commander “Morin” and the other is the Knight Commander “Oli”
“The personnel data of the reserve force has been released. In the past half century, since the establishment of the Holy City, all males of the same age will join the reserve force for two years of training. The Holy City has a population of more than seven million, and the number of males is approximately Close to four million, there are 2.14 million reservists of the same age group. If the age limit is raised, this number can increase to 3.2 million. ”
Listening to Ollie’s report, Peggy asked: “How is the inventory of military supplies?”
Ouli replied: “It is not difficult to arm an army of millions. The ammunition stored is sufficient, about 300 billion rounds, but there will be a lack of some heavy weapons. The configuration of rocket launchers will increase to one for every twenty people.”
Three hundred billion rounds may seem like a lot, but this quantity is not impressive. This is the output of the Holy City for more than half a century.
The Holy City has been preparing for the future battle of reunification. From the beginning of the establishment of the Holy City, the goal has been clear, that is, to lead mankind out of the dark age and into the age of gods.
Peggy looked at Molin and asked, “What’s the situation with those dusty battleships?”
Standing in front of his desk, Mo Lin replied: “The maintenance is pretty good. It can take off with a few adjustments. There are 5,267 small airships and 699 large spaceships. Due to the scarcity of frozen wood resources, the construction speed of spaceships has increased over the years. If it slows down, it will take an average of two months to launch a large spaceship, equipped with the Holy Light Cannon and the Holy Light Sail, and it will take at least three months to seal it. ”
There are more than 5,000 small airships, including more than 6,000 in service, and more than 800 large airships.
These powers are the result of the Holy City’s half-century efforts. Peggy knows that this power is powerful enough to be invincible on earth. Whether it is an alien beast or a human, it can easily defeat it.
After standing up, Peggy laid a map on the table and said to the two of them: “Come and take a look…”
The two of them moved upon hearing the sound and came to the desk.
There is a map spread on the table, a defense map of the Holy Land.
Looking at the map on the table, Peggy said in a deep voice: “Black Flag City discovered the Holy Land and fought with us. The Archbishop told me last night that he learned from the resurrected that the purpose of Black Flag City is the altar. , the altar was just a mysterious Stonehenge in the past human history. Except for the Holy City, it is impossible for outsiders to know that Stonehenge is an altar. Therefore, the archbishop suspected that Black Flag City would be the first to attack the Holy City. We learned from the resurrected person I learned that Black Flag City is a powerful force that ruled all regions except Europe and America in less than four years. They have advanced technology and have warships that can fly into the sky and travel through extreme temperatures. We must not be careless in the face of such an enemy.”
At a point on the map, Peggy added: “During the attack, we must also do a good job in the defense of the Holy Land. I have ordered the 11th, 12th, and 13th Knights to station themselves on the west bank after receiving the new warships. The nuclear power plant, the central fortress where the power control center is located, and the Holy City’s home defense, that is to say, there will be ten knights participating in the war against Black Flag City.”
Speaking of this, Peggy looked at the two of them and said: “Although the radar has lost its function over the years and the signal has been severely interfered, if Black Flag City takes the lead in attacking and uses the cover of the extreme temperature layer to attack the Holy City, we will It is difficult to intercept them outside the Holy Land, but we also have our own eyes and we have monks. As long as the Black Flag City fleet enters the Holy Land, it will be sensed by our monks scattered in bunkers throughout the Holy Land. By then, they will be unable to detect it. Escaped form.”
With a thoughtful expression on his face, Mo Lin asked: “Captain, if the fleet from Black Flag City arrives at the Holy Land tomorrow, do we have any means to deal with it?”
Regarding Molin’s words, Peggy immediately retorted: “This is impossible. They cannot prepare for war in such a short period of time.”
In response to the regiment leader’s rebuttal, Mo Lin added: “What if they had already planned and prepared for war?”
“this……”
Frowning slightly, Peggy fell into deep thought.
Yes, if the warships and airships that appeared in the Holy Land this time were just the vanguard of Black Flag City to test the Holy City, what Molin said was not a low-probability possibility.
Sitting down on the seat, Peggy fell into deep thought.
After a while, Peggy looked up at the two people and said, “If Black Flag City really comes, they will be courting death. The Holy Land is our main battlefield. The thirteen knights also have more than 200 large spaceships and more than 1,000 small airships. This force is not weak. Coupled with the air defense force of the Holy City, even if Black Flag City has hundreds of warships that fell on the ground outside the city, it is definitely not our opponent.”
Raising his hand, Peggy said in a deep voice: “Go, hurry up to enlist the reserve soldiers, and hurry up to restart the sealed airships and spaceships and join the army.”
“Yes!”
The two responded in unison, then turned around and strode away.
Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Peggy stood up and came to the window, looking at the city outside shrouded in cold air.
The resurrected said that Black Flag City has the ability to create artificial suns, which is enough to show that the technology possessed by Black Flag City is far beyond the human beings they know.
As the supreme commander in foreign wars, he cannot underestimate his opponents. He must be cautious, take every step carefully, and deal with the enemy carefully.
