A few months passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to open the temporary door again, but a new situation arose.
"It seems that the door opened this time is not the door to the main world. Your Majesty, if you have time, you should come to the staff headquarters and take a look."
After receiving Bai Yu's call, Wang Qi went from the corridor on the tenth floor to the next door and immediately saw the first-hand report.
This time, the gate is relatively far away. It is outside the southeastern border of Fatel. According to the floating island markings, it is -2 and -11. It is 1,200 kilometers away from the eastern airport. It is by far the farthest from the Demon Realm Gate in the northern district. door.
There should be no demon activities in this area, but when the first reconnaissance planes arrived at the scene, they discovered a brand new demon cluster.
The basis is that the number of ice demons in this cluster is very large, and almost no little demons are seen.
Ice demons, to be precise, do not refer to a specific kind of demons. According to the information provided by the 301st Battalion, there are at least three groups called ice demons, named Martiville, Marev and Malbi. The free translation can be called ice demons. Shadow Ice Demon, Ice Crown Ice Demon and Crypt Ice Demon.
The first one to appear in the northern region is the crypt ice devil. The average adult height of its population is less than 2.2 meters. It has no tail and no horns. Its body is covered with blue-gray ice flake scales. It can use ice picks, ice spikes, and slow speed. A few Individuals can reach the third ring road.
The characteristics mentioned in the intelligence just sent back belong to the ice-crown ice devil, with horns and tail, and a sauromorphic bipedal posture. In this posture, the vertebral line is almost horizontal to the ground. The pilot visually estimated that the length of the head and tail is more than six meters. Reflected light from the body surface similar to ice can be observed, and more details have not yet been confirmed to ensure flight safety.
Based on the description of the 301st Battalion, the basic magic mastered by the Ice Crown Ice Demon is the non-ballistic three-ring spell Ice Coffin. After superimposing a relatively large size, they have no natural enemies and tend to operate in small groups of less than ten. This behavioral characteristic is also Confirmed during reconnaissance.
Judging from the perspective of strength, the Ice Crown Ice Demon should be classified as an intermediate demon. However, this thing has very low intelligence, not even as good as the Cave Ice Demon. Low intelligence increases the risk. I have not heard of anyone raising one domestically. They are all wild. state.
Therefore, the staff judged that the demons that appeared now were not organized activities. Perhaps they were simply demons living in the surrounding areas who were attracted to the World Gate.
"Pay attention to the stability of the observation gates and their swarms moving across the island."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wang Qi did not leave immediately. He waited until the second wave of reconnaissance information came over and confirmed that there was no large-scale cross-island operation in the area where the incident occurred.
Demons in different regions have different characteristics. For the kingdom's army, most ecological groups are not as threatening as the little demons. The key lies in quantity and fecundity.
The core idea of the existing weapons and equipment is to forcefully break the shield to complete the kill, and are not particularly afraid of intermediate or even high-level demons.
Although the losses in the battle with the intermediate demons will be greater, in the long-term timeline, the area occupied by the little demons cannot be completely cleared through artillery coverage. Throwing a group in for long-term carpet cleaning will still cause recurrence. This is a long-term problem. Source of harassment.
The intermediate demons are far inferior. Many of them are not as fertile as ordinary people who are good at giving birth. It will take five or even ten years for them to reach adulthood. In addition, some of them can be persuaded to surrender, so they are much easier to deal with.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
The traditional empire, which has accumulated a lot of shortcomings over the years, is already facing a more powerful internal tearing force. There are aristocratic interest groups all over the place who "I am the master of my territory." This monetary leek is like adding fuel to the fire.
According to the information obtained from merchants at the border, the territory that the Fatel royal family can directly control is only half of the territory before the disaster. The rest of the area is showing a trend of "Onji transformation", which means that the speakers on the floating island will recognize the royal family appropriately. You pay a little money, but how much you pay and how you do things have nothing to do with your royal family.
If Fatel wants to control the demons outside the border, he must first consider the consequences of the weakening of the royal family's power. Wang Qi simply does not believe that they will use a few legions to fight the demons.
Therefore, once the Demon Realm Gate on the southern line becomes permanent, the surrounding areas will suffer.
Back at the palace, Wang Qi called the relevant officials and got a new document.
When he came back from traveling, he saw unrelated people holding guns, so he decided to change the way he sells weapons. However, weapons sales are subject to agreements and cannot be cut off at once. It took him a year to complete the orders that needed to be cleared, and there were still a few more Business orders that last a long time are those in the surrounding area that are more disciplined, so don't worry about them for the time being.
The document he just got was the inventory list of Fenggu's foreign trade arsenal.
In order to cooperate with the new sales plan, they are temporarily living on subsistence allowance production. The official reimbursement of firearm production costs and the finished products are backlogged in the warehouse. When a new batch of orders are started and the money is received, the subsistence allowance money will be returned in batches.
Foreign trade firearms are modular, and the Fenggu Arsenal itself is just an assembly plant that produces barrels and screws. Maintaining normal cooperation in the production chain is also the reason why the officials must provide minimum living allowances.
The arsenal has stockpiled 20,000 guns in recent months. Not much, but this production capacity is actually several times higher than the firearms department of the manufacturing bureau. It is not high enough to meet the normal demand of overseas markets.
Twenty thousand guns, concentrated around the Demon Realm Gate on the southern line, can also play a certain role.
According to Wang Qi, these guns will no longer be sold to those lords who sell firearms everywhere. The main buyers will become grassroots controllers like the Gael Society who are involved in gray products and can stick to some bottom lines, or really The group intends to kill the lord.
Regardless of whether they are lords or not, we cannot rely on their gun-wielding combat effectiveness and fighting will when it comes to foreign armies. We can only expect them to be able to form a guerrilla team when their homeland is destroyed. While maintaining a certain population stock, they can also provide support to the demons. Open some eyes in the back.
After a round of elimination, there may be a buyer who is truly worthy of entrusting a large number of weapons.
With a general idea in mind, Wang Qi called officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Trade Department, spent several interviews to determine the general policy, and found someone to implement it.
"The official word is two-faced" is a derogatory term. Some things just don't fit the official fate. This time, the sale of weapons that threatens the life and safety of the lord is one of them.
In the subsequent implementation, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was only responsible for wrangling when locals came to the door, and the Trade Department did not step in and only issued "franchised sales licenses."
The license is not intended for arsenals, but for security companies that include intermediary services.
The sales target for this round is "raising Gu". The Trade Department will not even stipulate who it will be sold to. It will only circle the sales range and the upper limit of firearms. Even if the security company makes some mistakes when selecting the target, with the spread of demons, firearms will The risk of large-scale escape is also limited, and there is no need to worry about it at all.
