Of course, the most important thing is to emphasize once again to the people why we are fighting this war. This ideological work cannot stop; it must be done at all times and in all places, and it must be thorough and thorough... In short, for the freedom and dignity of our race, we have no choice but to take this step. But for any race to achieve liberation, there is a price to pay. That price could be them, or it could be the five of us. In this life-and-death war, no one can escape unscathed..."
Having said this, Lin Hai paused as if he remembered something and continued:
"I'm already looking for someone to renovate the square in Dawn City. It will become our Hall of Heroes. All those who sacrificed their lives for the ultimate victory should have their own memorial tablets there. Tomorrow morning, let's go and pay our respects together. They are true heroes.
At the same time, we should require everyone passing through that square to bow to the heroic spirits. The five of us who are in Dawn City should go there every morning to burn incense... Have the historians and archivists record every sacrifice, writing down their birthplaces and names in front of everyone, to tell everyone that they will not be forgotten."
"Will this amount of work be delayed?"
"First, make sure it's there, then make sure it's good. I definitely overlooked this before, and now I'm just trying to fix it. Just build a huge platform in the square and place the tablets of the fallen soldiers on it. Put a good incense burner in front of the platform and assign someone to guard it to make sure the incense inside doesn't stop burning... Well, there really is no time, so I sent people to raid the nearby Buddhist temple and said I needed to borrow the incense burner..."
"Mr. Lin, since we're already there, why not bring the monks back and have them chant some sutras in the square? They chant sutras every day anyway, so it doesn't matter who they chant to."
"Why not select a few members of other religions from the religious commandos, divide the square into sections, and have monks, Taoist priests, lamas, and spirit mediums occupy separate areas, performing rituals to help the fallen soldiers ascend to heaven...hmm...help them to transcend...hmm...anything is better than nothing. As for the square, we can use it and renovate it later, and eventually we'll be able to build this grand hall."
"Your Highness Xinyue's words make sense. What do you think, Mr. Lin?"
"I'll do it. I've already melted down a lot of statues of Buddha and gods, so this little sin won't hurt."
Lin Hai made the final decision.
"Your Majesty... A messenger has arrived from the front."
The person who appeared outside the door was Xia Junao's eunuch, one of the few people allowed to interrupt their five-person meeting in case of an emergency.
"What is it?"
As long as he is not facing Lin Hai, Xia Junao still looks like an emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Lin Hai, Wei Ming..."
"Don't be so polite, just speak directly."
"On the battlefield... on the battlefield, there's a lot of smoke... It seems someone is dragging away the bodies of the soldiers..."
...
"Oh no! They're replenishing the organic matter code!"
Lin Hai was shocked.
Then, he shouted through the cage, "Order the front lines to fire incendiary bombs at a high density, covering as much of the battlefield as possible. Since the soldiers can't rest in peace, let them turn into smoke and watch us kill the enemy from the sky. Go and tell them it's our five intentions!"
The messenger rushed away...
"It seems the Abyss is also trying to accumulate strength. From their perspective, we're no different than pigs and cows. Harvesting the soldiers' remains and turning them into organic matter is the same as harvesting weeds and digging for earthworms. I overlooked this point."
"If they can use the remains of the soldiers, then the other things..."
"Other things, the soldiers' clothes, weapons, unused incendiary bombs and shielding bombs, they must also be able to use them..."
"Our weapons... can they use them? I mean, they obviously have better ones."
"Based on long-term observation, the scholars at the Academy and I have concluded that they possess a more advanced material conversion technology... so advanced that we can't even comprehend it today. Simply put, as long as it's metal, they can transform it into the metal equipment they need. It's even possible that the two metals are different... As long as it's organic matter, they can convert it into organic matter suitable for their needs. Otherwise, why would they cut the weeds back home? If they can just convert it into their own flesh and blood."
"So, wouldn't it be true that they'll only get stronger as the fight continues? After all, as you just said, our casualties will be heavy, and our incendiary bombs only cover a limited area, so there's no way we can burn all the bodies. As for those weapons, there's even less we can do."
At this moment, Wei Mingyuan, who had been eating, thought of an even more terrifying possibility: "Mr. Lin, I don't quite understand this, but you once said that their weapons mainly use gunpowder to propel metal bullets into people to cause damage? They also discard bullet casings nearby."
"Yes, but what does this have to do with what we just talked about?"
"Well... the problem is that the shells are already around them, and now they can collect bullet heads from all over the battlefield. After all, many bullet heads are in the bodies of fallen soldiers... In this way, wouldn't their weapons be endless? How can we deplete their stocks?"
...
Damn, isn't this unsolvable?
"I can't think of a solution for this right now, but even if what you said is completely correct, they at least can't handle the gunpowder, so there will still be some consumption. It's just..."
Xin Yue suddenly took over and said, "It's nothing more than a slower consumption, and we need to make greater sacrifices..."
"I have to admit, it's frustrating, but that's the way it seems."
"Mr. Lin, I have an idea."
Chen Xu, who had been silent for a long time, spoke.
"Since we can't throw incendiary bombs farther, can we not take the initiative to attack and wait for them to attack us... This way the battlefield will be closer to us."
"Yeah, didn't that bastard butler say that? He's going to clear the demilitarized zone. It just so happens that our frontline position is set up on the ridge, which is a bit of a geographical advantage. We should use it to our advantage."
Lin Hai heard this and thought about it carefully, but found that he couldn't think of anything useful. After all, His Majesty Lin Hai's poor tactical skills were already quite famous on the mainland...
"When it comes to specific tactics, I can't..."
Lin Hai sighed. Anyway, including the time of his previous life, he was already a middle-aged man. He didn't have any psychological burden to say that he was not capable.
"Then we'll go find someone who can."
"Yes, notify the generals and hold a meeting!"
