Yang Rui had decided to set Shrimp Island as the gathering point of the country war. After this procedural country war, the possibility of Shrimp Island not being exposed was very low. After all, Shrimp Island was the hub that connected the two shipping routes.
Furthermore, even if Yang Rui had chosen Shrimp Island as the gathering point, no one would know how Yang Rui had arrived at Shrimp Island in the first place. Instead, it might promote the use of the shipping route between the three countries and Shrimp Island.
Due to Shrimp Island's special location, Yang Rui was not prepared to restrict the activities of the players from the three civilizations. Firstly, Yang Rui needed their strength. Secondly, it was because of the ethnic plot.
If Yang Rui had closed the route between the three civilizations and Shrimp Island, there would have been no problem at all. Now that the shipping route had been opened, if Yang Rui still did that, he would be drowned in saliva.
"System Announcement (internal personnel participating in the country war between the three civilizations): Yi Conquering Viceroy, Dong Hai King, Qing Province Governor, Yan Province Governor, and West Conquering General Blazing Sun will lead an army of 180,000 to participate in the country war against the Japanese civilization. They have already gathered at the designated location."
"System Announcement (Participants of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Region War): Ji Province's Governor Yuan Shao has sent General Zhang He and Military Advisor Feng Ji to lead an army of 100,000 to participate in the war against the Wo Nation. They have already gathered at the designated location.
"System Announcement (internal personnel participating in the country war between the three civilizations): Commandant Cao Cao will lead an army of 50,000 to participate in the country war against the Japanese civilization. They have already gathered at the designated location …"
"…"
After the location was chosen, a system announcement was sent over. All the organizations that participated in this procedural country war were notified by the system. Of course, the range was limited to the people participating in the country war.
Even so, there was no need to worry about the related information being leaked. With the start of the country war between the three civilizations and the Japanese civilization, the real-time communication between the two civilizations had been cut off. All the information could only be obtained through the most primitive communication. The system announcement was only sent to the participants of the country war, so there was naturally no possibility of it being leaked.
The purpose of such information was to boost the reputation of the participating forces and encourage the morale of the ordinary participants. It was like an autumn soldier on the battlefield, setting off the atmosphere before the battle.
Yang Rui immediately thought of Wako Uesugi when he received the system notifications. Before the Kingdom War began, Yang Rui had already discussed with Wako Uesugi on how to communicate. Wako Uesugi had already decided to participate in the Kingdom War.
At this time, the participants of the World War were releasing information about the various troops. Wako Uesugi should have also received information about the various troops in the Wo Nation's region. As long as the two sides could contact each other, Yang Rui would be able to quickly grasp the situation of the Wo Nation's troops.
Furthermore, as the Kingdom War progressed, not only would Wako Uesugi be able to get the general information, but he would also be able to gradually grasp the specific types of troops, ranks, combat strength, and so on. When the time came, it should not be difficult for Yang Rui to know the enemy and himself.
"System Announcement (Participants of the World War between the three civilizations): Youzhou's Prefecture Overseer Gongsun Zan has sent 50,000 elite troops to participate in the World War against the Japanese civilization. They have already gathered at the designated location."
"…"
The information about the participants' military strength continued to be released. In fact, Yang Rui was also paying attention to the contents of the various messages, especially the information about the various feudal lords participating in the World War. It was very similar to the situation when the heroes were fighting against Dong Xuebing.
However, compared to the eighteen feudal lords who were in high spirits back then, the feudal lords who participated in the World War were already quite different. Some of the feudal lords' forces had even been destroyed, which made Yang Rui, who had participated in the storyline both times, sigh.
This time, almost none of the feudal lords appeared personally. Most of them only sent their troops. At the same time, there were differences in the number of troops they had. A few feudal lords sent powerful generals, while the rest sent some old and weak soldiers to deal with the situation.
It was obvious that even though Emperor Liu Xie's imperial edict was effective, people like Cao Cao and the others were only there to make up the numbers. They didn't even send a decent general, and most of the soldiers were low-grade. Their intentions were obvious.
Fortunately, this procedural Kingdom War had certain restrictions. It seemed that soldiers below Fourth Grade did not meet the requirements to participate at all. As such, Cao Cao and the other feudal lords did not send any soldiers below Fourth Grade.
Even so, the feudal lords' half-hearted attitude when it came to fulfilling the other conditions of the Kingdom War was even more obvious. For example, when it came to the qualification for naval battles, almost none of the feudal lords provided any powerful warships. Most of them were medium-sized transport ships that could barely transport troops on the sea.
If such an army ran into the Japanese forces, they would probably be wiped out at sea.
Of course, it was unrealistic to ask the feudal lords to provide many powerful warships at once. Even if they could gather enough transport ships, it was already difficult enough for most of the feudal lords, let alone large warships.
[System Announcement (internal personnel participating in the Kingdom War between the Three Kingdoms Region): Governor of Yu Province Yuan Shu has sent General Ji Ling to lead an army of one hundred thousand soldiers to participate in the Kingdom War against the Japanese. They have assembled at the designated location.
[System Announcement (internal personnel participating in the Kingdom War between the Three Kingdoms Region): Governor Liu Bei of Xu Province has sent ten thousand elite soldiers to participate in the Kingdom War against the Japanese. They have assembled at the designated location.
"… …"
The system announcement was still being made. The various feudal forces had teleported to the Kingdom War gathering point on Shrimp Island. Their flags were waving in the wind behind the shipyard that Yang Rui had chosen.
The moment Yang Rui selected the assembly point, the system automatically processed it. Originally, the area near the dock was a rather desolate place, but now, it had become a vast drill ground. The soldiers who were teleported to participate in the Kingdom War were all arranged in an orderly manner on the drill ground.
The participants' ships were all anchored by the system in the offshore area outside the dock. Although most of them were transport ships, and some were even of different sizes, the scene was still quite spectacular when they were spread out in a large area.
Yang Rui stood on the high platform of the drill ground and noted down the various participating powers. He noticed that Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Liu Biao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Gongsun Zan, Lu Bu, and many other feudal lords had sent their troops to participate in the Kingdom War.
Even Liu Zhang and Liu Dan from the Shu Lands had sent their own troops. Wang Lang, Liu You, Shi Xie, Zhang Yang, and other small feudal lords had also participated. The only ones missing were Li Jue and Zhang Ji who had been defeated by Yang Rui.
In fact, Yang Rui had been paying attention to the troops sent by Sun Jian from the very beginning. He was also the marquis whose naval strength was second only to Yang Rui in the area of the three civilizations. However, when Sun Jian's troops appeared, they were all shrimp soldiers and crab generals. There were not many decent warships.
