Chapter 427 - Broad Vision
Compared to them, magic conductors were not only cheaper but also more reliable and hardworking.
Therefore, abandoning civilians and choosing to produce a large number of magic conductors to partic.i.p.ate in military production and logistical support had almost become the common trend of modern armies.
The Great Wall of Iron Blood was a complete fortress of war. Other than the army of millions, there were only hundreds of millions of magic conductors left.
The army was only responsible for fighting. Everything else naturally fell on the sorcerers.
Whether it was the production of energy, processing, the repair of the fleet, or the maintenance of the s.p.a.ce port, all of these were under the control of the sorcerers.
What Kronin and his accomplices needed to do was to cooperate with Lei Luo to launch a riot on the ground when necessary and completely paralyze the ground defense of the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
Lei Luo promised that he would persuade the British Immortal Economic Union to launch the largest offensive in the past decade.
On four fronts, they would launch a general attack on the Phoenix Alliance, forcing the fleet on the Great Wall of Iron Blood to send reinforcements.
And Lei Luo"s fleet would choose the right time to launch a surprise attack on the Great Wall of Iron Blood, creating a situation conducive to the riot for the fertility magister group on the ground.
Although it was a detail, both of them had only reached a vague concept.
When Lei Luo created a favorable time for the magister to riot, the magister would riot.
And once the magister started a riot, Lei Luo"s fleet would use all their strength to attack the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
Lei Luo didn"t tell Kronin how he would persuade the alliance to launch such an attack, nor did he say how he would attack the Great Wall of Iron Blood, and Kronin did not tell Lei Luo how he would start a riot.
Lei Luo did not say it because he believed that Kronin would do everything.
That was not the only reason why Kronin did not say it.
As for the terms of the exchange, it was relatively simple.
After seizing the Great Wall of Iron Blood, Lei Luo would gain control of the city, and all the fertility magicians in the city would be protected by their own bodies and peacefully move to the Cape of Good Hope.
After that, Lei Luo would be responsible for escorting a portion of the core members to the rebel area to partic.i.p.ate in their rebel cause.
As for the remaining fertility magicians, Lei Luo promised to seize an energy city as soon as possible for them to live in.
These magicians would receive Lei Luo"s military protection, and they could exercise complete autonomy in the city.
However, they were not allowed to partic.i.p.ate in an armed rebellion, nor were they allowed to manufacture weapons. All the energy produced must be sold to Lei Luo.
He had thought that it would take about a month to reach the Great Wall of Iron Blood.
However, in just two hours, all the problems had been solved.
And all of this was not because he was very smart, but because he had a partner who was much stronger than he had imagined.
This made Lei Luo happy, but he was also a little disappointed. However, most of all, he was emotional.
After the official business was finished, Lei Luo asked, "After this plan is over, are you going to the rebel area as well?"
"Yes, the headquarters are urging me urgently. We have always wanted to go there as soon as possible, but we just couldn"t find the right time."
"Sigh..."
Lei Luo sighed.
"This time, I was able to meet you, so I finally understood what it meant to say that there is always someone better than you.
"I originally thought that after this incident, I would have to learn more from old master Bai. "I didn"t expect that I would no longer have the chance."
"Sir Lei Luo, you don"t have to belittle yourself like this. If it was just in terms of thinking ability, I wouldn"t be able to catch up to you even if I flattered you. The reason why I can see so clearly in certain areas isn"t because of how fast my brain can think, nor is it because of how strong my calculation and memory abilities are. You humans have fallen into one of the biggest deviations, and that is always competing to see who can think faster, who has more power, and who has more computing power. That"s right, over the years, you have made amazing progress in these three areas, but you have lost the most important thing, which is a wide field of vision."
"Wide field of vision?"
Kronin replied with a smile, "It"s a broad field of vision. It sounds like a completely meaningless illusory word, right? How many steps does it take from your home to the market closest to you?"
Lei Luo shook his head blankly. "I don"t know."
"An answer that can be found by walking once, but many people will never get it in their lifetime. Why is that? Because you"ve never thought of it that way. Most of our lives, what we think is more important than how we think. Magic has brought a lot of convenience to humans and gave a great boost to human civilization. But at the same time, it has also limited human vision and ossified human thinking, making humans more dependent and lazy. From a certain point of view, you have improved, but from another point of view, you have regressed."
"What you think is more important than how you think."
Lei Luo silently recited this sentence in his heart. After repeating it a few times, he said, "May I ask one last question?"
"Please speak."
"Just now, you evaluated me as an immature person. I was not convinced before, but after listening to a series of high-level arguments, I am completely convinced. But I would like to ask, is it possible for an immature person to become a good commander?"
At this moment, Lei Luo had already completely regarded the Kronin in front of him as his teacher.
Therefore, before he left, he would still ask this question.
Kronin smiled and said, "A truly good commander wouldn"t ask this question. Because a good commander wouldn"t doubt himself."
"Thank you, I understand."
Lei Luo nodded, stood up, and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
Kronin raised his hand and motioned for Lei Luo to sit down.
"You are now a first-rate staff officer, a second-rate general, and a third-rate commander. If you are a king, then you are not even a ninth-rate commander.
If you are already old, then there is naturally nothing to say.
But the problem is that you are still so young, and you have a strong ability to reflect on yourself.
"You have enough qualifications to be optimistic about your own prospects. No one is born to be a king."
When Kronin said this, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Speaking of which, we have hit it off quite well. I have something to say to you."
Lei Luo leaned forward. "Please speak."
"Sir Lei Luo, you probably don"t understand what happiness feels like, right?"
Kronin"s words stunned Lei Luo for a moment. "Er..."
