849 Fighting in a Different Space, a Test of Strength! Part 1
Inside the room.
After Feng Long stated his two options, he averted his gaze and stopped talking. Leaning back in his chair, he continued to boil water to make more tea.
Although Wang Quan was sitting opposite him with an undisguisable shock on his face, he simply ignored it and was completely focused on brewing his second batch of cloud mist tea.
This time, his actions were slow and gentle.
After the water boiled, he poured the scalding water into the teapot, and a fragrant aroma erupted from the cloud mist tea.
“You can go back and think about it first if you can’t decide yet.
“There’s still a day and a half’s journey back to the territory. Before that, you can come and find me anytime you want!”
Feng Long divided the second pot of tea evenly among the three cups.
Seeing that Su Mo was still sitting opposite him without showing any reaction and not making an immediate decision, Feng Long’s admiration for him slightly increased again.
It was easy to conquer the world but hard to defend the world.
At the beginning of the wasteland, everything was still uncertain, and the talents needed by the territory had to be those that were enterprising and courageous people capable of using their strength to gain the upper hand in difficult situations.
However, as humanity’s situation began to stabilize with time, the talents needed by the territory naturally changed.
For example, Heaven’s Origin currently needed more mature talents who could precisely execute orders from their superiors without any mistakes.
These talents were needed so the territory could hand over tasks confidently, knowing they would not have to worry about anything going wrong.
However, Feng Long was surprised that before he could pick up his teacup, Su Mo, who had been thinking about the options given to him, spoke out unexpectedly.
“Feng…Sergeant Feng, can I ask you a question?”
“Sure. Also, you don’t have to be so restrained and polite with me. After joining Heaven’s Origin, we’re family.”
Feng Long thought about it for a while and nodded lightly.
doesn’t involve territory secrets or other confidential information.”
“In the present and the future, most people in our territory don’t care about these superficial honorifics. You can go ahead and ask whatever you like. I’ll answer anything as long as it
Once again, Feng Long had shown preferential treatment that other ordinary people could never have asked for. Wang Quan silently drank his tea while watching Feng Long treat a complete newcomer rather affectionately. He suddenly had the illusion that somehow the two people sitting before him were both his superiors despite him being in a higher position than the newcomer.
He had a strong feeling that he was faced with a significant figure of the territory, especially from the newcomer.
Unable to find the reason for the uncomfortable feeling, Wang Quan’s lips twitched, and he drank his tea as he silently listened to the two people’s conversations.
“My first question is…would it be okay for me to know how many armed personnel are there in our territory?”
Su Mo had already drafted the questions in his heart. He glanced at the “mature” Feng Long, and instead of asking more straightforwardly, he decided to slowly pry information about the territory.
Sure enough, Feng Long was not suspicious and answered without hesitation, “It isn’t a secret. Our territory has a total population of three hundred and seventy thousand people, of which there are sixty thousand full-time army personnel and forty thousand army reserves. We can gather an army of more than a hundred thousand people if needed.
“At the same time, we have three peacekeeping teams deployed outside of the territory. Each unit comprises a standard five thousand soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is assured. Even if the strongest foreign races attack, our defenses will never fall!”
“What are the current military objectives?”
Feng Long was slightly stunned by the question and contemplated for a while. Ultimately, he seemed to have understood something and answered without concealment.
“We currently have three main military objectives.
“The first is the Million Dwarves Country in the north. There has been constant conflict between our territories since Year One of the Doomsday Calendar. The grudge between us has already turned into a bloody feud. In the future, if there are no major disasters, a winner must be decided with the life and death of either territory.
“I’ll most likely assign you to the battlefield against the Million Dwarves Country if you join my command. You can look more into it for now.”
“The second is those remnants of the Celestial race in the southeast. You don’t need to know in detail about this race but just know they are hiding in the mountains and have become a group of madmen.
“Thirdly, we have the oceanairs. I’m sure you’re already aware of them. Every year between Month Three and Nine, many Oceanairs will try to come to the New World. Thus, territories with borders close to the sea must station troops to prevent them from ambushing us.”
“That means our territory’s external operations are all defensive counterattacks?”
Yeap!” Hearing that Su Mo had concluded the territory’s combat tactics after analyzing the current situation.”
Feng Long did not conceal anything and answered without much hesitation.
“The larger the population, the larger the territory, and that would put a lot of pressure on our resources for military logistics if we were to launch a battle.
“Without the disasters, perhaps it would not take long for humans to completely wipe out the foreign races on the wasteland.
“However, with the regular disasters, no territory dares to take the risk and declare an open war against the foreign races. After all, it would be equivalent to taking a huge gamble, and it would not be fair for the territory residents.
“This doesn’t mean that we don’t have the ability to have a full-fledged war, but it’s more that the time is not ripe, and we need to wait a bit more.”
Feng Long clearly explained the pros and cons of the situation and made a conclusion. Evidently, he did not intend to answer more specific questions about the topic.
Su Mo sensibly stopped pursuing the topic. Instead, he began to throw out questions that he was really interested in.
