If the people of Lingbi were to launch a war, they would first focus their attention on the southern and northern mountainous areas.
Instead of attacking the western mountainous region, which is thousands of kilometers away, first.
The Wolf King has plenty of time to send people to slowly investigate the battle situation there.
If those desert people are truly capable, sooner or later it will be the Madman's turn.
By then, there's nothing that can be done if the Wolf King doesn't participate.
If even the Berserker Clan is no match for the Desert People, then his pursuit of revenge would be meaningless.
The wolf's brother was indeed dead, killed by that great transcendent, but he wasn't stupid. Although he harbored hatred, he was self-aware.
At this point, clinging to the coattails of the Berserker Clan is the only serious thing to do.
The Garden of Gods is so vast that even if the Lingbi people wanted to fight, it would take them many years, enough to keep them busy for a long time.
The wolf king turned around with a smile and said calmly, "From now on, stay by my side for a while."
The wolf was overjoyed.
This shows that he has gained the favor of the wolf king.
...
Qin Che has already made a preliminary plan and intends to proceed step by step.
He did not intend to start another war before the 12th simulation began.
Exhausting resources for military expansion is not a good thing. In the remaining days, it would be better to focus on production.
Simulation can help him avoid detours. War is not child's play. Only by simulating can he understand the future development and gain the upper hand.
Even so, though you put down your gun, you can't close your eyes and ears.
Qin Che began to continuously send investigators into the northern and southern mountainous areas to capture local people and bring them back to inquire about the local situation.
You can pretend to be a raider, but raiders have a very keen sense of smell and can tell whether you are one of them just by smelling you.
Previous attempts to probe the intelligence department had all gone wrong, resulting in the loss of many capable personnel.
Qin Che later realized that humans were food in the eyes of the predators.
They would naturally be able to easily identify the spy's identity.
It would be better to take action openly; gathering intelligence on the surrounding areas is very important.
Because the opening of the first phase of the project required a lot of resources, both material and human, Qin Che called on the cabinet to help with the planning and brought in hundreds of thousands of laborers, who were transported into the mountains in batches, at different times and in different stages to help with the development and construction of the project.
The factory is operating at full capacity.
In this short period alone, hundreds of new factories have opened in the desert, all of them large-scale sweatshops.
The place was filled with prisoners of war and slaves.
Qin Che was also glad that he hadn't abolished slavery back then, otherwise these sweatshops would definitely have sparked a lot of conflicts.
Using slaves is much simpler; they are easy to control, and production can be carried out at the lowest cost using any means. The only problem is that they have little ambition and competitiveness, so resources can only be extracted by constantly exploiting their lives.
"When you're pioneering, isn't it normal for some people to die?"
Qin Che's remarks in the cabinet statement sparked discontent among many.
However, the government agencies stood firmly by Qin Che's side, which was also inseparable from Sa Fanyin's strong support.
She came up with another plan for Qin Che: colonize the mountainous areas, use the raiders as laborers, and transport them all to the desert instead of leaving them in the mountains. In unfamiliar territory, people could transfer their accumulated conflicts onto the raider slaves.
However, the raiders themselves were extremely xenophobic, and coupled with their natural inclination to eat people, as well as problems such as not being able to adapt to the environment, many prisoners of war died when they were transported to the desert.
This plan has to be put on hold for the time being.
Because the costs are difficult to calculate and cannot be controlled.
With so many people dying, the transportation costs would be a losing proposition, so Qin Che called for a halt to it.
“There are quite a few people in the desert. I’ll figure out a way to keep things running like this for now.”
Qin Che knew that there was another way to greatly increase productivity—
liberation.
But that would be taking too big a step. We are still at war, and from a broader perspective, such unnecessary turmoil would affect the projects at the front and the possibility of war breaking out at any time.
The state apparatus must operate at full capacity.
It's important to understand that many people in the cabinet and executive branches are inextricably linked to slavery and cannot sever ties with it.
And how many people are the direct beneficiaries of this industry?
The desire for liberation would inevitably provoke opposition from landlords and vested interest groups.
This is a natural property.
Even if Qin Che is a one-man dictator with one party, he cannot eliminate these hidden contradictions, and one day they will betray him.
"Why don't we send a telegram to Brother Wang and ask him to help us think of a solution in the South China Sea?"
"He can handle small-scale operations and raids, but logistical support over a distance of thousands of kilometers is too dangerous. They have to cross the entire western mountainous region. Without transportation capacity, people, and supplies, he can't help much."
"At this stage, we can only maintain the current track. To operate at full capacity would be extremely demanding. Everything is about maintaining stability."
This was the result of the couple's discussion in the telegram.
Qin Che couldn't help but sigh at this.
His wisdom was acquired from the dragon-slaying techniques he had been exposed to since childhood in his previous life.
However, in terms of talent and perseverance, Qin Che is truly no match for those ancestors who created the dragon-slaying technique in his previous life.
...
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
The development of the eastern mountainous area has been put on track, with some mountain roads being excavated and built, and bridges being slowly constructed in rugged terrain.
The newly built villages and towns westward from the radiation zone gradually became bustling with activity due to the influx of people.
Qin Che walks on the front lines of the engineering development zone every day.
The army continued to expand outwards, and the military headquarters constructed three lines of defense on the front lines in order to guard against a counterattack by raiders from the mountainous areas in the south and north.
As buildings rose one by one, roads were gradually leveled, and large numbers of cars and dense populations appeared in the settlements, creating a bustling scene, good news and bad news came from the research institute and the front-line military headquarters, respectively.
Ji Wenze, wearing the blue jacket number 47, synthesized elements from the old world and found materials that could isolate radiation particles from the radiation zone.
Furthermore, in the southern mountains, an army of approximately 40,000 fully armed raiders is rushing day and night to the eastern mountains, and they have launched an attack on the desert settlements in the eastern mountains.
