The atmosphere in Ellington was a bit strange recently.
The residents of Ellington found that all of a sudden, the number of soldiers patrolling the streets had decreased by a lot. The old faces of the past had disappeared and were replaced by new recruits who had just been recruited not long ago.
These new soldiers had just started training not long ago and had no combat experience, so Tang En did not recruit them to join the battle. Instead, he assigned them to public security posts and replaced the veterans who were on vacation. Yes, you didn't see wrong, patrolling the city to maintain public security was the veterans' vacation.
At the same time, there were some sensitive people who found that the flow of materials in the city was abnormal. There was a small increase in the prices of herbs, magic crystals, food and other materials. The staff of Ellington's city government were obviously not in the right state of mind these days. They seemed a bit nervous, but they couldn't get anything out of them when they asked.
Everyone felt that it was very strange. Only a small number of merchants who had done business during the war faintly smelled the truth. A war was coming.
The merchants who faintly sensed the prelude of war immediately began to rush to buy goods. Their rush even caused the prices to rise to a certain extent, which made Fiona very vexed.
Originally she wanted to solve this matter silently. Although it was a full-scale war, in fact, the enemy of the Kingdom of Gris, not only Tang En, even she didn't care about it. The two sides were not on the same level at all, the gap was too big.
In the end, she didn't expect those fellows to have such a keen sense of smell. They actually began to rush to get supplies. In the end, Fiona simply opened up the supply of materials in a fit of anger and directly suppressed the prices. Now those profiteers couldn't sit still. Could it be that their analysis was wrong?
Some people insisted on hoarding goods, while others saw that the situation was not good and immediately cleared their stocks to stop their losses.
Later, those who insisted on hoarding goods directly vomited blood and many of them went bankrupt. Fiona would not pity those fellows who wanted to make money from the war. They had no moral integrity at all.
Of course, these were all unimportant, so he directly skipped over them.
According to Tang En, this battle was an all-out war against the Gris Kingdom. It was also the first time in history that he had initiated an inter-racial war. Therefore, this war had to be efficient, fast, and fierce. They had to defeat the enemy in one blow so that the Gris people would no longer have any thoughts of resistance. They had to directly defeat the entire Gris Kingdom.
Therefore, in the preparation for this battle, airships, armored tanks, comet motorcycles, power armors, and so on were all equipped. The specifications could be said to be the highest.
This was the first time in history that Ellington had gone all out. Everyone was rubbing their palms together, preparing to put on a good show and let those idiots from the Kingdom of Grice know how strong the enemy they were facing was.
Black Stone Cave, Great Tang's Magic Energy Military Factory.
Brian, who was standing beside Tang En with a war hammer on his shoulder, asked in a rough voice, "How's the preparation of weapons and ammunition?"
"You don't have the right to tell my people what to do."
The red-haired Barod laughed coldly. Then he ignored Brian who was glaring at him and said, "Report the situation to Tang En Majesty."
"Yes, sir!"
The Red Stone dwarf reported loudly. "Currently, all three thousand 'Dragon Tooth' Magic Energy Pistols have been taken out of the warehouse. Each magic energy pistol is equipped with three standard magic crystals."
"Forty thousand trigger magic grenades of various elements have been taken out of the warehouse …"
There were ten thousand people mobilized for this battle. On average, each person could be allocated four magic grenades, which was more than enough.
"Five thousand improved 'Crimson Fire' assault rifles have been produced and sorted out. They have been taken out of the warehouse along with the vehicles. Each assault rifle is equipped with five hundred rounds of regular bullets and five hundred rounds of special bullets. It can support a medium-sized battle."
Tang En frowned. "Five hundred rounds of each of the two types of bullets? Isn't that a little too little? "
"Because this battle has the experimental Helicarrier as a supply base, we can get ammunition support at any time. So, the ammunition that we are equipped with is standard."
"Continue."
"Yes, sir!"
The Red Stone dwarf continued to report. "One hundred electromagnetic sniper rifles have been produced. They are equipped with 20mm caliber special armor-piercing warheads. They are mainly used to accurately snipe enemy Apocalypses …"
Although electromagnetic sniper rifles were powerful, they were not suitable for direct combat. Only rangers could perfectly display their power, so there was no need to think too much about the distribution of these hundred electromagnetic sniper rifles.
"The one hundred missile launchers that the artillery company applied for are ready. At the same time, they are equipped with five thousand rounds of various types of missiles. In a blanket fire, the power is enough to completely flatten a city or a group army …"
As for the artillery company, it was needless to say. They were at the rear of the battlefield, ready to provide long-range support at any time. Their RPGs could be fired rapidly from any position and hit targets at fixed points.
"Ten mobile missile launchers are in place. Each launcher is equipped with two 'Dongfeng' missiles. Considering the situation of this battle, the launchers carried are 350mm short-range missile launchers and 700mm medium-range missile launchers. Due to the breakthrough in magical wave technology, the range of attack can now cover a range of 100 to 1000 kilometers. The research institute has recently made a new technological breakthrough. If it is fully installed, the actual precision and controllable range will be greatly increased. We can even carry out ultra-long-range attacks on the Kingdom of Grath without even leaving the house."
Tang En nodded. The technological breakthrough at the Magical Engineering Research Institute was probably due to the birth of the artificial soul quantum computer 'Eve'. With the help of the computer, their workload was greatly reduced, and they had more time to study various theories in depth.
For example, it completely replaced the theory of magical wave technology.
"Other than that, the two Super Magic Railguns have been assembled. According to Master Klotto's orders, these two Super Magic Railguns have been installed on the test Helicarrier for ultra-long-range support."
The Super Magic Railgun was an enlarged version of the electromagnetic sniper rifle. The shells it fired were mass bullets filled with Magic Crystals and triggering magic arrays. Through the strong electromagnetic force, the mass bullets were launched at several times the speed of sound. The almost linear trajectory made the shooting accuracy of the Super Magic Railgun very terrifying. It was also very convenient to use. The only drawback was that the consumption of Magic Crystals was a bit shocking.
However, now that Tang En had the supply of the Astral Base, he could freely supply Magic Crystals!
"Since the second generation of armored tanks has not been mass-produced yet, we are still producing the first generation of armored tanks. Since the start of the war, we have produced ten more tanks. Including the tanks that have already been installed, we currently have more than three hundred armored tanks that can be put into use."
Three hundred tanks, huh?
Tang En secretly calculated for a moment. With the combat power that the Kingdom of Grice had displayed in the Sila Duchy, it was definitely enough. That day, only 50 tanks were enough to make them cry. This time, with 300 tanks deployed in full force, wouldn't they be tortured badly?
The ratio of citizens to soldiers in the Kingdom of Grice was very high. On average, one in a thousand people was a soldier, or had been a soldier. There were eighty thousand soldiers in a population of eighty million people. This was just the external statistics. According to Stanley's ambition, the real number would be more than that.
However, whether it was eighty thousand soldiers, one hundred eighty thousand, or eight hundred thousand, no matter how many cannon fodders there were, they were still cannon fodders. As long as they could withstand the enemy's attack, at most Tang En's side would consume a bit more ammunition.
This was the terror of the technological gap. On one hand, it was the lives of flesh and blood, and on the other hand, it was only the cost of some combat resources.
In the face of modified technology, the number of soldiers was meaningless.
"As for the magic-powered armor …"
The Redstone dwarf opened his mouth and scratched his head. In the end, he said a little awkwardly, "At present, we have only produced one hundred and fifty sets. One hundred of them have been taken by Master Jean. Now, there are only fifty sets left …"
"I know that."
Tang En interrupted him. "Jean formed a special mobile unit to deal with the creatures of Chaos. He used one hundred magic-powered armors. You just need to prepare the remaining fifty sets."
"Yes, sir."
The magic-powered armor was a good thing …
Tang En sighed. The birth of this thing allowed the weak to become stronger and the strong to become even stronger. It completely broke the situation where the Fate Bearers ruled the world and allowed ordinary people to have the ability to compete with low-level Fate Bearers. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to produce with the current technology, so the production capacity was very low.
However, considering the wide range of uses in the later stages, the production of the magic-powered armor and its derivatives had to be expanded.
Other things aside, if 10,000 sets of magic-powered armor were produced and every soldier was equipped with one, Tang En would not have to prepare anything for this war. He could directly bring them to the Kingdom of Gris. Five people in a small team would fight separately and sweep all the way. With the mobility and firepower of the magic-powered armor, it would probably take less than a week to capture the entire Kingdom of Gris.
Of course, if they really wanted to bully people, Twain could ask Sasa, Glott, and the others to take action. Ten dragons wearing magic cannon armor would be able to use magic cannons to flatten Gras's chariot in less than a day …
Not to mention whether Sasaglot would help him, this result was not what Tang En wanted.
What he wanted was to get rid of the barbarian faction led by Stanley, take over the civilians of Gris, and completely integrate them into the whole world.
Looking at the assembled weapons and equipment being put into containers and then disappearing from the teleportation portal, Tang En's eyes flashed with an inexplicable brilliance.
Next, these weapons and equipment that were beyond the era would really appear on the battlefield!
