Chapter 115 Everything Is Ready
At the end of October.
...
Before the school was about to start.
Uncle Cam and the others in the factory had successfully completed the manufacturing of the entire set of fuel engine machine tools. And as long as the basic shaped steel and some molds were placed, streamlined mass production could be achieved.
The current horsepower of the mass-produced fuel engines was 55, which could basically meet all the basic needs.
With enough workers and steel, it could ensure the production of about 5 fuel engines per hour.
Operating in three shifts and with the magic pumping station supplying magic power continuously, the estimated daily output was 120 fuel engines.
And these data could still be optimized in the subsequent process!
At the same time, the technologies brought back from the Alpha Empire had basically been analyzed and absorbed. Only in terms of communication technology, since Sulian only provided new concepts and there were only a few simple sets of designs, it would still take some time to develop a brand-new co
mmunication technology.
Regarding the Polar Star Academy.
Due to continuous expansion during the vacation, the schools required for the complete set of "primary school - middle school - university" had been built, and initial enrollment had started.
This time, Sulian and the others simply didn't pretend anymore.
Since there was a lack of relevant teachers at the beginning of the school, they directly transferred goblins and dwarves from the military factory and the magic core manufacturing factory to teach.
The king naturally noticed these suddenly appearing alien races, but he couldn't obtain any useful information from open investigations. Because their statements were all the same, claiming that they had only been entrusted by Prince Esha to teach this year.
It was also impossible to arrest and torture them secretly, because they found that there were powerful beings protecting them in secret!
Very powerful beings!
...
And because of this.
This time, it wasn't just the king who felt uneasy. Even the ministers who had originally been focused on the power struggle for the succession of the new king finally vaguely realized that something was wrong.
But at this time, the actual military strength in Prince Esha's territory had reached 60,000!
And!
Using the excuses that there were too many magic vehicle routes in the territory and the suddenly appearing natural monsters always causing damage, Prince Esha forcefully imported a total of 300 retired knight mechas from abroad. They ranged from the first rank to the third rank, and there were even
several specially made mechas of the fourth to fifth rank among them.
Adding the number of knight mechas that Prince Esha originally had, as well as the Frost Blade Cavalry and others that the kingdom had allocated to him at the beginning of building the magic vehicles.
In addition, Prince Esha had always been secretly purchasing knight mechas!
It was estimated that the total number of knight mechas in Prince Esha's territory, both openly and secretly, had actually exceeded 1,000!
King Chivero, Prince Esha's elder brother, finally panicked!
...
But before they could come up with any means of containment.
On Cindy Island, opposite the Arliev District where the Peter Holy Domain was located, all the manor lords, nobles, including the retired noble soldiers, all announced their joining of the cooperative forces between Prince Esha and the Chamber of Commerce of Duke Alfred. And using the excuse of too
many newly built magic vehicle routes on the island and the need to prevent damage, they privately allowed the private army of the Peter Holy Domain to be stationed there.
At the same time, in order to ensure the safe transportation of maritime shipments, they privately allowed the warships of the Peter Holy Domain to provide escort!
Warship escort!?
Only then did the kingdom know that Prince Esha actually owned a warship more than 300 meters long, with a platform about 200 meters long specially left on it!
Moreover, there were even two frigates about 100 meters long.
That was...
The technology of goblin warships!
Goblins who could possess such technology were definitely not just randomly recruited from some goblin kingdom's chamber of commerce or academy. It was the technology that could only be mastered by goblin mechanics with the background of the goblin kingdom's military.
At this point!
The kingdom deeply realized!
Prince Esha and the Peter Holy Domain could no longer be contained!
They had warships, and the announcement from Cindy Island was like submission or being controlled. The kingdom had already lost its actual control over it.
That is to say, even if the kingdom took action against the Peter Holy Domain now, they could retreat to Cindy Island at the first moment.
The most terrifying thing was...
These things couldn't directly prove that Prince Esha wanted to rebel!
The number of the private army was due to the "voluntary" and "insistent" will of the people in the territory to join the army;
The knight mechas were purchased legitimately to protect the safety of railway transportation;
The cooperation in Cindy District was a voluntary one, because their own private army didn't have the ability to protect the safety of railway transportation. And since it was a commercial cooperation, it was reasonable not to request the kingdom's protection and to request the protection of other p
rivate forces;
Warships?
I, Prince Esha, rented them. And because they are of a special warship model and there is a confidentiality agreement signed with a certain goblin kingdom that cannot be disclosed, is there a problem?
...
On October 25th.
In the Peter Holy City, more than a hundred knight mechas and 3,000 soldiers were already in a state of combat readiness.
Esha, Polly, and Sulian were all waiting for news in the private army headquarters in the city.
"It has been ten days since we lent out the goblins and dwarves, showed the newly purchased knight mechas and warships, and let Cindy Island make an announcement. If my great-uncle doesn't take action now, I'm going to go back to the Alpha Empire to continue my studies," Sulian said, dressed in armo
r.
"I've always said that he is a cautious person. Without absolute evidence, he will at most suppress me and won't dare to send troops against us directly."
"Otherwise, once there are several corps-level wars breaking out internally, the Kingdom of Winno in the east may take the opportunity to attack."
"Plus, we deliberately let Carolin cooperate in acting before, making the main forces of the kingdom's army gather in the south to guard against the Kingdom of Lanwu. Now the standing army in the east is relatively weak. And in addition, the last small part of the area in the northeast has no mounta
in cover."
"My brother he..."
"Doesn't dare to act at all!"
Esha smiled faintly, already certain of his brother, the soon-to-be abdicated king's attitude.
In fact, if there hadn't been such a large number of knight mechas appearing suddenly, and there hadn't been the issues of warships and Cindy Island, King Chivero would definitely have immediately ordered Prince Esha to reduce his army forcefully. If he didn't comply, he would have directly and reso
lutely attacked!
But unfortunately, now they simply had no way to prevent Prince Esha and the others from retreating to Cindy Island.
If they couldn't deal with Prince Esha and several corps-level wars continued internally, the pressure from the Kingdom of Winno in the east would directly come up!
By then, the Kingdom of Lanwu in the south might really want to take action, and even the Kingdom of Sbai!
"Next, it mainly depends on the king's attitude. Little Sulian, you can go to school with peace of mind. When you come back in four months, we will launch an attack on the Kingdom of Lanwu and the Kingdom of Sbai," Polly also said with a smile.
They were very confident in their control of the current situation.
In fact, according to their intention, they didn't need to stay in the private army headquarters of the Peter Holy City these days. But since Sulian hadn't personally taken charge of the overall power control of the kingdom, out of vigilance, he still proposed to stay there temporarily.
As a result, ten days passed, and the kingdom didn't react at all.
It was as if...
They had ignored the power of Prince Esha's forces.
...
They had calculated every step in advance, prepared backup plans, and at the same time restricted the kingdom's ability to act.
Now, it was actually the final preparation stage.
Because in four months, they would take action!
In the military factory.
Three thousand tanks and two thousand aircraft had been maintained in the underground warehouse.
The corresponding training for tank operators and pilots had all met the most basic three-month training period, and the earliest ones had already exceeded one and a half years.
The specially made low-profile version of the "Nostalgia" bombs, which ensured the power of the third rank, had all been allocated to the bomber aircraft. And under the efforts of the newly recruited alchemists, they were continuously being produced.
More than ten thousand pistols and one million rounds of ammunition had also started to be allocated to the original old private army.
At the same time, according to Sulian's request, the transport aircraft directly manufactured in the magic core manufacturing factory had also been completed.
It was a transport aircraft that could carry up to 300 people when fully loaded. And it directly used magic assistance with great power. It could release invisibility, silence, and anti-detection magic to conceal itself, and it could also hover in the air for a short time.
In the following time, only the airdrop training for 1,000 soldiers was needed!
In their plan, they included using this transport aircraft to secretly airdrop about a thousand elite soldiers in three batches to launch surprise attacks behind the enemy lines.
And after that, using this transport aircraft to airdrop various necessary wartime supplies!
In terms of transportation.
The prince-duke special line from the Peter Holy Domain to the Arl Territory, and the other two railway lines in the same direction, had completed the reinforcement and maintenance of the railway tracks. This ensured that when they set out, the main battle tanks could be smoothly transported from th
e Peter Holy Domain to the Arl Territory!
At the same time, in the relatively flat area of the Arl Territory, a large area of land was requisitioned and completely leveled.
There were three places in total!
Using the excuse of building a new agricultural factory, the initial construction of the air force command post had started. This would be the place where the main fighter aircraft of the military factory would dock and replenish supplies before attacking the Kingdom of Lanwu and the Kingdom of Sbai
.
Everything.
Was basically arranged!
...
"To be honest, I still hope that the kingdom will test us. In this way, the public opinion and rumors we spread among the people in the territory before can be intensified," Sulian actually felt a little disappointed.
"It's already enough. Now, as long as you stroll around in the private army, aren't there soldiers asking you about your plans to expand our territory? Especially after seeing the warships openly, they basically believe that we have the ability to launch external attacks," Esha said with a smile.
"The old batch of private army soldiers who have seen the aircraft and tanks especially trust that we can capture our own territory and no longer be restricted by the kingdom. If the other new private army soldiers also know about it, and even the common people know, the public support will only be
higher," Polly also said with a smile.
"So, little Sulian, your previous arrangements and plans have been completely successful. Or do you just not trust the abilities of your grandfather and father so much?" Esha said half-jokingly and half-discontentedly.
"How could I? Anyway, you, grandfather, and father are all powerful Dharma Gods and Saint Magisters. Plus, with grandmother, a powerful War God, among us, just relying on our top-level strength is enough to deter the kingdom."
"It's just..."
"A little bit of regret."
Sulian expressed his inner thoughts.
Regret?
Esha and Polly looked at Sulian at this moment. There was an uncontrollable emotion in his deep blue eyes!
"I even want to launch an offensive now!"
"I really don't want to wait for another four months, until..."
"The arrival of winter!"
Sulian smiled, with an ambitious smile!
"Unfortunately, for such a major matter, we can't be hasty."
Sulian quickly composed himself.
With the activation of spatial magic, the clothes on his body had been replaced with formal attire, and the color of his eyes had also turned blood red.
Now, it was time to go back to school.
At this moment, he was:
Hugh Lycaon.
