".Thank you, thank you. Without your country's support, our defense line would not be able to hold out."
In the small meeting room, on one side were the white-bearded old man and his staff who were quickly expressing their feelings, and on the other side were the official negotiators and two Eastern country admirals who were there for show.
Lu Ping'an, as an attendant, sat in the back, bored. He could not understand the local language, but he felt that the old man looked familiar, as if he had often seen him on TV news.
Most of the remaining team of the Mountain Government came from the opposite side. After learning of the arrival of the reinforcements, they rushed over without hesitation. The reason why they came partly and not all was that many of the original "ministerial level" had died in the battle. Some positions were filled in time, while others had little to do with the war and were temporarily put aside.
The fight against the Mountain Country was much harder than reported in the news. As a land country bordering the East Country, it was undoubtedly regarded as the core point of the attack.
The terrain in the south of their country is quite good, mainly plains suitable for industrial development, and it was also the most economically developed region in the past. But the other side, which is close to the ocean and has a flat terrain, was almost swept away by a wave.
Faced with the crushing force of superior forces, sometimes even the most solid defensive positions are no match for rotten ground and quagmire.
The first batch of attacks caused Shanyue and his men to lose at least four million people, and at least five first-tier cities in the country were massacred. These foreign invaders were starving, and it goes without saying what they would do after they came ashore.
"Great disaster" is their own term in their country. In fact, the East Country had warned them before, but they were obviously slow.
If the current battlefield is taken as the center line, Nanyue can be said to be completely destroyed. The survivors of Beiyue used their geographical advantages to form a barrier and ultimately blocked the crisis of national destruction. It is hard to say whether they really won the battle or the monsters were full and went back to digest and didn't want to move.
Although Lu Ping'an admired the human beings' hymn of courage, based on the information he had seen and the battle power ratio of the two sides, Lu Ping'an estimated that it was most likely the latter. Perhaps from the perspective of the invaders at that time, this area was a natural "breeding farm" and it would be bad to kill them all at once.
After entering the mountainous and forested areas, the overly long terrain also stretched their supply lines, leaving them with a lack of motivation to continue fighting.
But even so, at least 90% of the administrative managers of the Mountain Kingdom died. Their capital was the first to be destroyed in the disaster, and the massacre was also the worst.
The current mountain regime is no longer the same as before. The white-bearded old man who serves as the current leader seems to have been in the opposition party before. He is an extremist who follows the armed struggle line of the old era. He even has a guerrilla force of one or two hundred people. He is the country's most wanted criminal. Unexpectedly, after the fall of the original government, he became the orthodox.
Lu Ping'an remembered that when the Eastern media mentioned this person, they only spoke well of him, often prefixing their names with adjectives like "fearless of life and death" and "determined".
".We need help."
But now, this determined old man asked for help directly.
"If we have the production technology for this drone, our battle line will be much better."
"The battlefield has completely collapsed. We don't know what to do next. It's best to exercise our subjective initiative."
Sure enough, it finally came to this.
Watching the politicians above dealing with each other skillfully and bargaining with all kinds of official jargon, Lu Ping'an also assessed the situation.
This deal should be able to be concluded because both parties really get what they need.
With the changes of the times, a technological breakthrough may lead to a distortion in the entire form of warfare.
Under the current environment, the biggest advantage of Earth's native land is its technological civilization. These creations cannot be used in foreign lands, but they can indeed be used as cheap and high-quality killing machines on Earth.
The most important thing is that these things were originally just technical reserves, but they were suddenly put into practical use and mass-produced in the past three years.
These are not just drones, there are also a host of automatic machines and technologically-created manned equipment, but drones have been identified as being extremely effective, so production has been maxed out.
This wave of technological and military leadership is the result of more than three years of hard work by the Eastern Kingdom, but it is also the crystallization of Earth's technology. As a killer weapon, it is always most useful at the moment of its debut.
Now that we have it out, we will naturally achieve as many results as possible before the invaders are prepared.
How far this expedition to Longyue Island can go depends on how long the advantages of this technology can last.
It is also because of the exposed reality that it is completely acceptable to give some technologies and finished products to the allies now. Of course, it must be a reduced version, but how much it is reduced depends on the relationship between the two sides.
The Mountain Country is now helping the East Country guard the southern gate. It is certain that they will provide sufficient support, and a certain degree of technology transfer is also possible. However,
“Do you still have industry?”
A negotiator asked this frustrating question.
And industry? Even the agricultural fields were bombed. Without the aid from the East, there would have been famine long ago.
They were forced to hide in the forest and fight guerrilla warfare. There was no possibility of industry. Making a fire at will was seeking death, let alone engaging in industry.
If you don’t have industry, any technology you are given is nonsense and may even help the enemy.
".Then, we will build a new drone factory in Yunxiazhou (bordering the mountains) and give priority to you in production. At the same time, we will provide swarm upgrade services for your previous drones."
The negotiators had no intention of humiliating the other party and directly offered the other party conditions that they could accept.
Obviously, this was thought out long ago. Our negotiators knew from the beginning that the other party would ask for technology. Of course, this goodwill could not be free.
Use post-war resources to endow? In fact, on the other side of the border, it would be easy to transport ore and so on. The trains that brought weapons here were originally loaded with ore and fruit.
However, as the only local industry and resources, the Mountain Country is not smooth in providing them. On the one hand, there is a lack of human resources, and on the other hand, they try to save as much as possible.
The East Country also turned a blind eye to this. After all, if the pipe was cut here, the other side might be gone next week, and then the southern states of the East Country would suffer from the war.
But this time, things are a little different.
".We will soon continue to move south, and we will need more minerals."
This time, Dongguo intends to take the opportunity to settle the balance.
Defaulting on the debt? Inconvenient to transport? Not possible, just move it to Longyue Island. If you don't have people, I will let Longyue Island directly assimilate (eat) that part of the mining area.
Looking at the aggressive negotiators from his side, Lu Ping'an became more optimistic about this cooperation.
Holding a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other is the basis of diplomatic cooperation. Now that we have demonstrated deterrence in this regard, we have naturally prepared more valuable bait.
".Before we leave, we will launch a decisive battle. Whether we can recapture your country's capital and territory depends on you."
