Chapter 1251 - The Price of Being Reborn
Chapter 1251: The Price of Being Reborn
That was true.
Whether it was the Horn of Destruction or Violent Blade, they were all unruly, headstrong, and ruthless people.
Having been used to being kings and tyrants in the clan era, were they willing to accept the goodwill from Dragon City unconditionally and use semi-automatic rifles, as well as rocket launchers, to replace their ancestral battle style, which had been passed down for ten thousand years?
Meng Chao was very uncertain.
In particular, Dragon City’s goodwill could not be free!
Whether it was automatic rifles, rocket launchers, military radio stations, or even helping TU lanze build his own global network and military data link system, there was definitely a fee!
Of course, as interstellar friends from Earth, crossing billions of Stars for peace and development, and coming to this world with the initial intention of common prosperity, dragon city people might not be so vulgar as to accept real money and silver.
Not to mention money, the main thing was to make friends!
Then, as good friends, they should exchange what they have and what they don’t have. Tulanze’s right to build roads and exclusive rights to resources on both sides of the roads, Tulanze’s right to develop and operate the ports, Tulanze’s right to explore and exploit underground mineral deposits.., even fully exploiting Tulanze’s market, as well as a series of post-war reconstruction rights and interests after the chaos faction invaded the land of Holy Light… signing seventy to eighty of them was absolutely not excessive, right?
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Survival Committee to pass a bill to provide Turanze with modern weapons that could arm millions of high-level orcs!
Judging from the high-level orcs’fanatical respect for the ancestral spirits, it would be impossible for them to do so.
Meng Chao really didn’t know how the high-level orcs would react if the people of Dragon City proposed to use Turanze’s road-building rights and mining rights as trade conditions in exchange for the support of arms and communication equipment.
Would they be like the ancient people on earth who worshiped their “Ancestors”as if they were gods, treating the whistling trains as a blasphemy to their ancestors?
An image appeared in Meng Chao’s mind:
An arms dealer from Dragon City was spitting and babbling on about the benefits of automatic rifles and rocket launchers to the “Horn of destruction”or the “Blade of fury”.
The Lion King or Tiger King, who had been listening impatiently, suddenly put on the totem armor and kicked the arms dealer 70 to 80 miles away. At the same time, they assumed the posture of a bodybuilding champion, he shouted, “This is Tu Lan Ze!”
It was impossible.
Meng Chao had already discovered that for many high-level orcs, the purpose of the war was not to win at all.
It didn’t matter whether they won or not.
Whether they fought or died miserably, whether or not they could leave behind a heroic legend, that was the most important thing.
Using firearms to ‘Biubiubiubiubiu’from thousands of meters away, it was as if they didn’t use cold weapons or claws to dig out each other’s intestines and put them around each other’s necks. It was a happy and tragic experience.
From this point of view.
“Jackal”kanus, this “Atypical orc”, did indeed have his advantages.
No matter how crazy he was in his previous life, or even how he forced Dragon City to join the chaos faction.
At least, he could see at a glance the advanced nature of Earth’s technology and system. Until the last moment, he was doing his best to use the advantages of Earth’s civilization to fill in the deficiencies of the Tulan civilization.
However, Meng Chao still believed that compared to the Lion King and the Tiger King, the Wolf King had a fatal flaw that could not be filled.
“The Wolf King has no prestige.”
Meng Chao said to ice storm, “In the past 10,000 years, there has never been a wolf king commanding the Tulan Army. In the past 3,000 years, the position of war priest has been occupied by the lion and tiger clans in turn. At most, there is the Minotaur of the Blood Hoof clan.
“Everyone knows that the Wolf clan is just a vassal of the lion and tiger clans. The Wolf King is just a puppet. Even if he took the opportunity of the Lion and Tiger Kings suffering heavy losses and stole the inheritance of the sacred mountain temple, no one would be convinced by him.”
Icestorm was stunned for a long time before he asked suspiciously, “Is… is this important?”
“It is.”
Meng Chao said, “You just said that even if we can provide hundreds of thousands of crossbow bolts and hundreds of thousands of super carrier pigeons to Tu Lan Ze today, it doesn’t mean that we can increase the organization and combat ability of the Tu Lan Army by ten times tomorrow.
“This involves the concept of war and the military system. It will take at least a year and a half to train, change, and adapt.
“During the process of changing the old and new war modes, there will definitely be some people who are not used to it, and some people will be eliminated. A large number of obstinate people who are good at old weapons and old modes will raise objections. They will even use the most intense method to defend their vested interests. Perhaps, there will be bloodshed, and there will be a lot of bloodshed.”
Meng Chao had never been a weaponist.
He did not believe that if he gave a medieval tin-can knight an automatic rifle today, he would become a skilled rifleman tomorrow. Moreover, he would be as skilled as thousands of other riflemen, they would form an infantry regiment that was at the mid-20th century level.
Even on Earth, where there was no supernatural power.
Hot weapons would replace cold weapons, tanks would replace armored cavalry, aircraft carriers would replace battleships, and any new type of weapons and derived new tactics would replace old weapons and old tactics. It would be a long-term, repetitive process, it was a spiraling process.
In the process of replacing the old with the new, they did not recognize the superiority of the new weapons and tactics, or admit it in their hearts, but because they sat on the side of the old weapons and tactics, they stubbornly resisted and refused to repent, they were everywhere.
Not to mention, this was a world with extraordinary power.
One had to know that even in Dragon City, there were many people who believed that “Wars were won solely by extraordinary people. Ordinary soldiers with automatic rifles only needed to clean up the battlefield.”.
In tulanze, there must be more people who insisted on this view.
It must be more difficult to comprehensively reform Tulanze’s war philosophy and military system.
If the Lion King or Tiger King became the war priest.
Because they were in line with tradition, had authority, and had strong tribes as their base.
Then, as long as the people of Dragon City could persuade the lion king or the Tiger King, at most, they would have the heads and brains of the Lion and tiger tribes.
The matter could be smoothly pushed forward.
Even if the Lion King or the tiger king really used the mining rights of Tulanze to make a deal with the people of Dragon City, the major clans would definitely make a fuss for a while, but it would be very difficult to get a result.
After all, they had ruled Tulanze for thousands of years and had never brought the Tulan civilization into a ditch.
This was prestige!
However, if it was “Jackal”kanus who risked the world’s heresy and stole the highest authority..
“In our words, the ‘legitimacy’and ‘foundation’of the Wolf King’s rule over Turan ze are seriously inadequate.”
Meng Chao said to icestorm, “Even if “Jackal”kanus can really obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain and skillfully guide the Horn of destruction and the blade of tyrant to mutually injure each other, causing the Liger and tiger clans to be unable to elect a suitable leader for the time being, causing a momentary power vacuum to appear in the Gold clan.
“If he wants to become a war priest, he must continue to make use of the conflict between the gold clan and the Blood Hoof clan, and make use of the Liger and tiger clans’mentality of not wanting the Tauren to ascend to the throne, to deceive the support of the Liger and tiger clans.
“But this support is definitely temporary and unwilling.
“Including the Blood Hoof and the other four great clans, they must have half-believed and half-doubted the rise of the Wolf King, and they’re even waiting for the Wolf King to make a fool of himself before replacing him.
“In this way, even if he becomes a war priest, ‘Jackal’Kanus can only compromise with the wolves, tigers, leopards, and wild boars to satisfy their demands as much as possible.
“Before resolving the issue of legitimacy and fundamentals, it’s impossible for him to carry out a drastic change to the social structure and military system of Tulanze.”
Ice storm seemed to understand but not understand.
She vaguely felt that what Meng Chao said made sense.
But she still did not understand. “Then… So What?”
“So What? Don’t you understand?”
Meng Chao raised his voice, “What is the biggest demand of the chiefs and Generals of Tulanze right now? It is that the resources of Tulanze are about to be exhausted! There are too many mouths to feed! The economic system is about to collapse! Famine is about to arrive!
“Therefore, they need to immediately wage war against the Holy Light Temple. They need to move thousands of hungry mouths and their insatiable stomachs to the land of Holy Light. They need to use the resources of the enemy to resolve the conflict between their exploding population and the lack of food!
“Also, it has been fifty years since Turan ZE has fought an all-out war.
“Without war, there will be no military merits. Without military merits, there will be no glory. Without glory, how will those ambitious young people rise to power? How will they become stronger?
“At first, everyone thought that the Battle of Glory was about to break out. As long as the five races competed and a new war chief was chosen, they would be able to march toward the land of Holy Light in a grand and carefree manner. Everyone was hungry and could not wait to sharpen their knives!
“Under such circumstances, even if many people knew that the Lion King and Tiger King were killed by the Wolf King, it didn’t matter. Even if it didn’t matter to the Lion Man and tiger man — as long as the Wolf King could immediately lead everyone into the land of Holy Light!
“But we’ve already analyzed it. With Tu Lanze’s current military level and war potential, it’s impossible to defeat the Holy Light Camp.
“If we want to win the unprecedented Battle of Glory, we will have to spend a year and a half to resist the pain of change, suppress the old forces that are against the change, and even sign a series of agreements with our allies to transfer our rights and interests under the name of ‘selling our ancestors’. All in all, we must let Turanze survive the change of being skinned alive and reborn. Only then will we have real hope!
“Here comes the question. Based on the legitimacy and fundamentals of ‘Jackal’kanus, does he have the ability to call upon all the high-level orcs to tighten their belts and train hard for the next year and a half?
“Can he convince the wolves, tigers, leopards, boars, bulls, snakes, and crocodiles of the five clans to hand over the mines and veins within the clans to be developed by the black-haired, black-eyed foreign tribes like me?
“Can he convince a centaur Legion that has been wearing iron armor for thousands of years and is good at riding, shooting, and charging to be fully equipped with new weapons and spend a lot of time and energy to forget the battle tactics that have been practiced for thousands of years and adapt to the new tactical system with difficulty? Is it possible that they will not be able to adapt at all and will be eliminated by the tide of iron and steel in the end
