Time continued to flow in various preparations, and the fifth door to the demon world arrived as promised.
This door presents a bit of a problem for the Phoenix Kingdom, as it's located within the territory of Fartel.
Whenever it's opening time, the Air Force will increase its overseas reconnaissance from the daily 20 sorties to 80 sorties or more.
In this process, the principle of not irritating local forces must be adhered to, which means that if an envoy strongly protests at his home, he will usually choose to bypass it.
Take, for example, the two largest populations in the penal colony, Fatel and Ongi.
Fatel's territory cannot be flown into at all, and their reaction will be great, and they may even make attack actions and subsequent military deployments.
The situation in Wengji is better. Since its royal family is a "financial consortium" type unit, it relatively lacks direct jurisdiction over the territory and rarely protests in the form of diplomacy, so reconnaissance planes can occasionally go in and take a look.
The existence of these factors means that achieving the result of "finding" the world gate still requires a certain amount of luck. If you are lucky, you may have confirmed news on the second or third day. If you are not lucky, you may have to wait six or seven days, and it requires a distance from the eastern military airport. No more than 1,500 kilometers, otherwise the time will be lost.
The information about Gate 5 has nothing to do with the military. It was sent back by the Aviation Bureau, and the source was a local businessman in Wengji.
The kingdom then received confirmation from Fatal and Ongi through diplomatic channels.
The specific location is north-west of Fatel, the closest point to Ongi, about 400 kilometers away, with two normal floating islands and one broken floating island in the middle.
We lack comprehensive survey maps of Fatel and Wengji, so we can only use estimates. Taking Phoenix as the coordinate 00, the distance seems to be about 1,700 kilometers, which is quite far.
But to say that it has nothing to do with oneself is really too optimistic.
Although Fatel can be called an "enemy" and its economic ties with the kingdom are not close enough, it is, after all, the area with the largest population in the exile. If this area is completely destroyed by the demons, the number of demons that can be reproduced will probably be huge. Very exaggerated.
From a military perspective, Fatal's industrial and aviation construction is far inferior to that of the Kingdom. At the same time, it not only has Gate 5 inside, but also has Gate 2 outside its eastern border, which has brought The pressure is definitely not small.
If the swarm strength of the little demons that emerged from Gate No. 1 in the early stage was the same, Fatel would not be able to withstand the Demon Realm Army from the two gates on its own.
Of course, if you analyze the specific issues in detail, at least Gate 2 belongs to the Ice Crown Ecological Group. Only a few of them can fly. There is no long-term threat like a little devil in terms of fertility. The ability to spread across floating islands is not only inferior to Gate 1. , not even comparable to Gate 4, which represents the power of Lord Huangquan.
The kingdom has deployed some civilian armed forces near Gate 2 and has maintained certain contacts. At least so far, there has been no large-scale destruction. Only on several islands adjacent to Gate 2 have hunters and prey appeared. Repeated flipping.
Unfortunately, the situation is not set in stone.
I have the information support from the demon captives and the 301st Battalion, and I only know that Gate 4 represents the Underworld King, and Gate 1 represents the God-Slaying King. No. 2 and 3 have not been confirmed, and even the Crystal Giant cannot provide valid information.
If there is a king behind these two gates, even if the existing community ecology lacks cross-island capabilities, there will still be the threat of swarm island hopping.
Therefore, for Fatel, the vigilance against Gate 2 cannot be relaxed.
The current conflict still exists at Gate 5. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a note application, but they summoned the person there, but refused to disclose the situation at Gate 5, saying that they themselves did not know.
The sad thing is that this feedback is probably true!
In fact, the Phoenix Kingdom is able to quickly confirm the ecological community. In addition to the demon information in its own hands, more help comes from the aerial reconnaissance experience accumulated in monitoring Gate 1 for many years.
I don’t know if Fatel has reconnaissance aircraft. Even if it does, judging from the time when their civilian aircraft spread, the experience and surveying capabilities of the Air Force reconnaissance force are not in place. There is a high probability that manpower will still be used to conduct in-depth investigations around the Demon Realm Gate. , regardless of the risk, timeliness and accuracy, there are doubts.
In short, it is better not to be too coercive in diplomacy. Wang Qi asked the diplomatic side to inform Fatel that if they want to buy machine guns, they can give it some thought here.
It's "considering" rather than definitely selling, because Fatel is too bad at being a good person.
Probably because it has been the largest force in the penal colony for too long, Fatel's tone is too high.
As far as trade is concerned, Wang Qi has never actually banned trade with Fatal, and all exports that are prohibited are treated equally by all external forces. The problem is that Fatel is neither willing to sign a currency guarantee agreement nor to take out precious metals. He always throws away those fluctuating waste papers. Businessmen stick out their tongues when they see it. How can they make business?
Ongi is much more astute in this regard. Although its paper currency has depreciated over the years, from a single year's perspective, the purchasing power can basically remain stable, so they can become the kingdom's main trading party.
Sure enough, not long after the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provided the information, Fatel responded and wanted to buy a thousand machine guns!
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs didn't even bother to respond first, and reported directly to the central department. It was known without any communication that they planned to pay with waste paper.
However, after Wang Qi received the news, he did not refuse.
After all, the demons will not stop at their own door after killing Fatel, they will only become crazier because they annexed enough resources.
Therefore, it is not impossible to consider collecting some waste paper without affecting your own safety.
But since waste paper is given, we can only buy inventory, otherwise it will squeeze cash flow, raw material supply, and put unnecessary pressure on the production end.
Forget about the Ripper, there is still quite a lot of stock in the Heavy Rain series, and the latest batch of stock was even withdrawn from the military series a few months ago.
In addition, there are underlying logical differences in the trade between heavy weapons and light weapons, which must also be taken into consideration.
If the light weapon is broken, just throw it away. The price and queue time for repurchase are limited. Failures of small arms must be concentrated in the barrel, fixed sight, and movable mechanical structure. Out of 40 parts, only the three duplicate ones will always break. The solution of demolishing one wall to make up for the other may save some money from the perspective of the firearm itself, and achieve overall benefits. But it cannot cover the additional management and transportation losses.
Heavy weapons are more complex, naturally have more places where they can break, and are much more expensive. It is a feasible solution to tear down the east wall to repair the west wall, but this will lead to less use, so there are conditions. At the same time, it is best to include parts supply agreements and even technology transfer.
The country of Fatal is so unpopular that it will not consider technology transfer and cannot supply spare parts because the production line has been adjusted to tearer production and maintenance early.
But in order for them to effectively contain the two demon gates No. 2 and No. 5, they need to provide drawings of early ammunition and vulnerable parts corresponding to the Heavy Rain series.
It must be noted here that providing drawings and technology transfer are not the same thing at all.
Just say heavy rain.
If it is a technology transfer, technical personnel should be dispatched to help the other party build production capabilities, which not only includes production and assembly, but also a set of logistics processes such as material standardization, parts management and transportation during the production process, and final testing standards. .
If you simply take a drawing of a component, it won’t even specify the ingredients of the component.
Based on reality, there is a gap between the industrial levels of Fatel and the Phoenix Kingdom. There are too many matters involved in direct transfer, and the manpower that needs to be mobilized and the production capacity that needs to be built are too complicated.
It's easier to just give the drawings directly. It doesn't matter whether the other party makes it by hand or by machine. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you if you sell it.
I hope that with these machine guns, I can withstand it first.
