Chapter 1100 Comprehensive Preparation for War
The atmosphere at Ellington has been weird lately.
The residents of Ellington found that, as if suddenly, there were far fewer soldiers patrolling the streets. The old faces in the past were gone, replaced by newcomers who had just been drafted into the army.
These new soldiers had just started training and had no combat experience, so Tang En did not recruit them to join the battle, but assigned them to security posts to replace the veterans who were on leave - yes, you read that right , patrolling the urban area to maintain law and order is a vacation for those veterans.
At the same time, some sensitive people discovered that there were abnormalities in the flow of materials in the city. There was a slight increase in supplies such as medicinal herbs, magic crystals, and food. The staff of the Ellington City Government were obviously not in a good mood these days. They all seemed a little nervous, but when I asked them, I couldn't find anything.
People felt strange that only a small number of businessmen who had worked as swindlers during the war vaguely smelled the truth - war was coming.
The merchants who were vaguely aware of the prelude to war immediately began to rush to buy goods. Their rush even led to a certain increase in prices, which made Fiona very troubled.
Originally, she wanted to resolve this matter quietly. Although it was said that it was an all-out war, in fact, not only Tang En, but also she did not pay attention to the enemy of the Kingdom of Grace. The two sides were not the same at all. The gap between enemies on the horizontal line is really too big.
Unexpectedly, those guys' sense of smell was so sharp that they started to loot supplies. In the end, Fiona was so angry that she simply opened up the supply of materials and suppressed the prices. Now those bad guys couldn't sit still. Could it be that her analysis was wrong?
Some people insist on stocking up, while others see that the situation is not good and immediately clear their positions and stop losses...
Later, many of those who insisted on hoarding goods suffered losses and went bankrupt. Fiona would not pity these guys who wanted to make war fortune. They had no moral integrity at all.
Of course, these are irrelevant and will be ignored.
According to Tang En, this battle is a full-scale war against the Kingdom of Grace, and it is also the first intra-racial war that he has actively initiated in history. Therefore, this war must be efficient, fast, and fierce, and must be defeated in one go. The enemy made the Grace people no longer think of resisting, and directly defeated the entire Kingdom of Grace.
Therefore, in preparation for this battle, airships, armored tanks, comet motorcycles, power armor, etc. were all equipped, and the specifications were the highest.
This was Ellington's first full-out attack in history. Everyone was gearing up and preparing to put on a good show to let the idiots in the Grace Kingdom know how powerful the enemy they faced was.
Black Stone Cave, Tang Dynasty Magic Energy Arsenal.
Brian, who was holding a war hammer next to Tang En, asked gruffly: "How are the weapons and ammunition prepared?"
"It's not your turn to take care of my people."
The red-haired Barrod sneered, and then he ignored Brian, who was blowing his beard and staring, and asked: "Report the situation to His Majesty Tang En."
"yes!"
The red stone dwarf reported loudly: "Currently, all three thousand 'Dragon Teeth' magic pistols have been shipped out of the warehouse, and each magic pistol is equipped with three standard magic crystals."
"Forty thousand trigger-type magic grenades of various types have been shipped out of the warehouse..."
The number of combatants dispatched this time is 10,000, and each person can be allocated an average of four magic grenades, which is enough.
"Five thousand improved assault rifles 'Red Fire' have been produced and sorted out, and have been shipped out of the warehouse. Each assault rifle is equipped with 500 rounds of conventional bullets and 500 rounds of special bullets, which can support a medium-sized battle. battle."
Tang En frowned: "Five hundred rounds of each type of bullet? Isn't that a little short?"
"Because this operation has an experimental aircraft carrier as a logistics supply base, ammunition support can be obtained at any time, so the ammunition carried with them is only prepared according to conventional standards."
"continue."
"yes!"
The red stone dwarf continued to report: "One hundred electromagnetic sniper rifles have been produced, equipped with 20mm caliber special armor-piercing warheads, mainly used for precise sniping against enemy Apocalypse..."
Although electromagnetic sniper rifles are extremely powerful, they are not suitable for frontal combat. Only rangers can perfectly exert their power, so the distribution of these one hundred electromagnetic sniper rifles does not need to be considered.
"The one hundred missile launchers requested by the artillery company are ready, and they are equipped with five thousand rounds of missiles of various series. If covered with saturation fire, the power is enough to completely destroy a city or an army..."
As for the artillery battery, there is no need to say more. They are ready for long-range support at the rear of the battlefield. Their RPG can be launched quickly from any position and hit the target at a fixed point. The power is very impressive.
"Ten mobile missile launch vehicles 'Striders' are already in place. Each missile launch vehicle is loaded with two 'Dongfeng' series missiles. Considering the circumstances of this combat mission, the launchers carried are 350mm short-range missiles. launchers and 700mm-caliber medium-range missile launchers. Due to the breakthrough in magic wave technology, it can now achieve a strike range covering a range from 100 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers. The institute has recently made new technological breakthroughs. If implemented, the actual precise controllable distance will be greatly increased again, and we can even carry out ultra-long-range strikes against the Kingdom of Grace without leaving home."
Tang En nodded secretly when he heard this. The technological breakthrough at the Magic Energy Engineering Research Institute was probably due to the birth of the artificial soul quantum computer "Eve". With the assistance of the computer, their workload was greatly reduced and they had more time. Let’s delve deeper into various theories.
For example, the magic wave principle completely replaced electromagnetic technology.
"In addition, two magic energy railguns have been assembled. According to Master Cloto's instructions, these two magic energy railguns have been installed on the test helicarrier for ultra-long-range support strikes."
The magic railgun is an enlarged version of the electromagnetic sniper rifle. The shells fired are mass bullets loaded with magic crystals and triggering magic arrays. The mass bullets are ejected at several times the speed of sound through high-intensity electromagnetic force. The nearly straight trajectory makes the railgun's shooting accuracy very terrifying, and it is also very convenient to use. The only drawback is probably that it consumes an astonishing amount of magic crystals.
However, now that Tang En has the supply from the star base, the supply of magic crystals and the like can be fully opened!
"Since the second-generation armored tanks have not yet been mass-produced, the current production is still the first-generation armored tanks. From the beginning of preparations to the present, we have produced ten more units, plus the tanks that were already in service. At present, we have a total of more than 300 armored tanks that can be put into use directly."
Three hundred armored tanks?
Tang En thought about it secretly. The combat effectiveness shown by the Kingdom of Grace in the Principality of Xila was definitely enough. Only fifty tanks had beaten them to tears that day. This time, three hundred tanks were dispatched. Aren't you going to torture them miserably?
Although the ratio of residents to soldiers in the Kingdom of Grace is extremely high. On average, one in a thousand people is a soldier, or has been a soldier. There are 80,000 soldiers out of a population of nearly 80 million. This is only based on external statistics. If Stanley's ambitions were followed, the real number would probably be much higher.
However, no matter whether there are 80,000 soldiers, 180,000, or 800,000, no matter how many cannon fodder there are, they are still cannon fodder. As long as they can withstand the opponent's attack, at most Tang En's side will consume more ammunition.
This is the terrible technological gap. On the one hand, it is a life of flesh and blood, but on the other hand, it is just some combat supplies.
In the face of magic technology, no matter how many soldiers there are, it means nothing.
"As for the magic power armor..."
The red stone dwarf opened his mouth, then scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Currently we have only produced one hundred and fifty sets, one hundred of which have been taken away by Master Jean, and now there are only fifty sets left. Already..."
"I know this."
Tang En interrupted him: "Jean previously formed a special mobile team to deal with chaotic creatures. He used a hundred units of magic power armor. Just prepare the remaining fifty sets."
"As commanded."
Magic power armor is a good thing...
Tang En sighed with emotion. The birth of this thing makes the weak stronger and the strong stronger. It completely breaks the situation where the Apocalypse dominates the world and allows ordinary people to have the ability to compete with the low-level Apocalypse. It's a pity. The problem is that it is too difficult to produce with current technology, so production capacity is very insufficient.
However, considering the wide range of uses in the later period, the production of magic power armor and its derivatives must be expanded.
Not to mention anything else, if 10,000 sets of magic power armor were produced and equipped for every soldier, Tang En would not have to prepare anything for this war and would directly lead them to the Kingdom of Grace. The five of them A small team fought separately and swept all the way. With the mobility and firepower of the magic power armor, it would probably take less than a week to capture the entire Kingdom of Grace.
Of course, if you really just want to bully people, Tang En can ask Sasha Grott and the others to take action. The ten giant dragons can put on the magic cannon armor and use the magic cannon to kill Grace in just one day. The ground is level...
Putting aside whether Sasha Grot would help him, this result was not what Tang En wanted.
What he wants is to kill the barbaric faction headed by Stanley, take over the civilians of Grace, and completely integrate them into the entire world.
Watching the assembled weapons and equipment being loaded into the containers one by one, and then disappearing into the teleportation array, Tang En's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.
Next, these ultra-era weapons and equipment will truly appear on the battlefield!
