Chapter 1492: Chapter 1492

1492: Chapter 1488 Big Order 1492: Chapter 1488 Big Order Mortal wars often have a limited duration; both sides inevitably end the conflict when they cannot afford the losses.

After all, war is a consumption of comprehensive national strength.

Whoever cannot afford it first loses everything…

However, when both sides have accumulations and logistics from several planes, it’s possible that the casualties on the frontline are outpaced by the rate of troop replacement, and the resources used up are less significant than the stimulation of a wartime economy.

“Centuries of war, even millennia of war, are bearable for superpowers…”

What was a localized conflict has evolved into total war, and the entire frontline has a completely different look.

Easterners’ Military Region, Long Hand Tribe Military Region, and Fishman Military Region extensively covered the frontline with numerous military camps and permanent buildings, with thousands of new and veteran soldiers arriving every day.

Originally, after the signing, the Easterners gradually took over command at the frontline.

This time, however, a “Military Region” was directly established to unify all military affairs.

Its core was a Military Commission, including generals from the Eastern Country, nation-building military advisors from this planet representing Eastern support, Lulu, and other central military figures, along with King Kui Arkur (Linnu Force).

Clearly, this was a compromise creation; neither New Kingdom, Eastern Country, nor Linnu Force could monopolize the war effort.

A joint Military Commission was necessary.

They were clearly a political product, but fortunately, there were no laymen inside…

well, except for Lu who, due to his bizarre relations with all three parties that could all regard him as one of their own, was also pulled in to become an influential strategist.

“I’m just handling logistics, still a merchant fighting for my own interests…”

At this moment, Lu was in no mood to take the blame.

“We have some new orders here, including training for new soldiers, and weapon kits…”

“… Isn’t that perfect?

I just happen to have several standard training and equipment packages, there’s a discount for orders over a hundred.”

Lu Ping’an instantly perked up, but Lulu shook her head.

It wasn’t that she was dissatisfied with Lu Ping’an’s “services” as she knew his nature was “trade”, and you get what you pay for was his label, but she was dissatisfied with some aspects…

“How about over a hundred thousand at once, what discount can you offer?” said she, now a true female Marshal.

Lu Ping’an went silent.

You’ve got to be kidding me, can I even handle that scale of business?

Then I can only seriously discount your services…”

Lu Ping’an’s presence on the frontline was naturally not for leisure; since the goal was to win the war and not just to push the front, he was bound to fundamentally revise the battlefield situation.

Currently, as long as Lu Ping’an remained in this area, masses of non-professionals became professionals every day, and there was also a large-scale real combat training plan starting.

The inevitable differences between races were a reality; the advantages of Long Hand Tribe and Fishman in naval warfare were too obvious.

If Easterners were to engage them in close combat underwater…

not to mention poor cost-effectiveness, Easterners couldn’t afford to die.

And Lulu, even the entire Military Commission, sought from Lu Ping’an the “new recruit training package.”

This world lacked many things, but there were certainly too many Free Fish People and Long Hand Tribe; once they became professionals, they possessed a certain combat power, and after “accelerated training” in Lu Ping’an’s Courtyard, they could probably become qualified professional warriors in just a week (subjectively three to four weeks).

“For Fishman and Long Hand Tribe, I recommend avoiding accelerated training; they have enough numbers, and the entire ocean is their training ground.

Training in my gym might weaken them.

I suggest letting them awaken their extraordinary talents and polish them to a first-tier before deploying to the battlefield.

0-tier and 1-tier are completely different concepts.”

“Change in the Fishman?

I know Eastern soldiers are willing to sacrifice, but for this…”

“Was it for Earth’s counterattack?

I now possess ‘biological programming ability,’ and as long as there are enough points, my courtyard can handle it.”

“Actually, the Wishing Pool can even grant wishes for species modification, just that it’s very expensive…”

Lu Ping’an’s job was quite simple.

In logistics, whether it was himself, his courtyard, or the trading land, they were invincible in this world.

Due to the existence of the “Fruit of Growth” and “Ten Years,” this world actually wasn’t short of troops; looking only at underwater combat abilities, races like the Long Hands and Fishman had much higher potential than humans.

And now, in the current “version,” they had received significant enhancements.

“First-tier profession, has it been finalized?”

“It’s finalized, Storm Javelineer, all deities can provide the initial advancement…

but really, at the entry-level, there’s no need to rely on deities.”

Lu Ping’an’s previous attempts, to create a unique path for the entire world, had attracted significant attention from many big shots…

The “Javelineer” versions provided by Gods of Redemption and Struggle had been revised four or five times.

Finally, with the help of the New Sea God, the final draft was completed.

“In terms of combat power, this is a…

uh, loser—except during group combat.”

Just like the initial Long Hand Javelineers, in this world, javelin throwing isn’t only suited to Long Hand tribe but is also a rare combat method appropriate for both above and underwater combat.

In underwater situations affected by water pressure and currents, the “piercing” damage caused by throwing a long spear is the most effective; a substantial through-wound is virtually a death sentence in the deep sea.

The starting point for this unique path was “Javelineer.”

And the reason Lu Ping’an considered it garbage was because it was multifaceted…

simultaneously cultivating low-level self-healing ability, low-level water control, and the taming of sea life forms.

Being multifaceted wasn’t wrong, but having to cultivate three or four skills at the entry-level was a bit excessive.

“This is a unique profession of this world, customized using Divine Grace’s ‘Profession Module,’ allowing it to manifest in specific situations.

After advancement, they can choose a mastery direction.”

This concept had weak sustained combat capabilities, but once in a cluster, part of the group throwing spears, part summoning Sea Beasts as losers, part controlling water, part serving as nannies…

Although the early capabilities were weak, their group combat abilities turned out to be very strong, and the combinations and cooperations were relatively easy to form.

The exclusive path gradually took shape; as multifaceted in the early stages, it was for exploring the talents and interests of newbies, then using the abilities of deities to start specializing.

With Lu Ping’an’s ability, as long as one was willing to “spend,” advanced low-level Multi-Skilled Professionals wasn’t difficult; the most needed knowledge and skills could also be purchased from the Taboo Library.

In terms of developing new talent, Lu Ping’an’s approach was exceptional.

Lu received a bunch of orders; a large number of warriors matured under his care, and the logistics line continuously provided new weapons.

The most important jobs, however, included “cultivating underwater War Beasts suitable for Earth people,” “updating Underwater Lamp Flowers,” “custom-making underwater combat edged weapons,” “revising the evolution templates for amphibious Beastmen,” and so on.

These were not all Lu Ping’an’s projects, but were key research projects of the Linnu Force; once they broke through one, the Eastern Country’s officials would give them an order so large they wouldn’t be able to fulfill it in a lifetime.

Everyone knew that developing exclusive high-tech was the way to make huge profits, while working was just hard money.

On the frontline, Lu Ping’an was also advancing his own research and deploying it on the battlefield to see the effects.

But the more he tested, the more Lu Ping’an realized that local testing wasn’t enough.

“Testing here is always just armchair theorizing.

Since it’s going to be used in that world…

perhaps, I should make a trip there.”
