Chapter 376 No. 9

 After defeating the Southern Peninsula Alliance Allied Forces, Tang Zheng started the next step without stopping.

The 100,000-strong army of the Light Chasing Army spread out across the Triangle Base.

 Surrounding the triangular base, there are three countries, namely Pyu, Siam, and Danan.

If Tang Zheng concentrated his troops now, it would not be difficult to destroy one of the countries.

 But Tang Zheng did not do that. His biggest purpose in coming to the Southern Peninsula Alliance was to seek wealth.

Digging down the jade mine here and obtaining a large amount of jade ore was Tang Zheng's goal this time.

 Destroying a country is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and without much wealth, Tang Zheng would not do such a thankless task, especially now that an upgrade was imminent, and everything else had to be put on the back burner.

The light-chasing army was organized into battalions, with infantry and armored units cooperating, and began to attack the surrounding large and small mines.

The people who are still mining here are from several countries. When they encountered the Light Chaser Army, they had no resistance at all. They were not even qualified to fight. The only thing they could do was to abandon the mine and flee.

Tang Zheng, on the other hand, whenever the light-chasing army occupied a mine, he would immediately fly there by plane, set up a mining camp there, and purchase mining vehicles.

Every time a mine is occupied, there will be some harvest at that time, such as the jadeite rough stones that are mined. After cutting and polishing, it is confirmed that there is jadeite in it, then Tang Zheng will immediately go there and transform it.

But this kind of harvest will not be too much, because more stones have not been cut, and Tang Zheng's system cannot determine whether there is jade inside through the stones, so a large number of people are still needed to cut and polish.

Tang Zheng's existing manpower is not enough, so he can only continue to recruit locally.

  Sometimes you can’t recruit them, so you just go and grab them.

Tang Zheng would not kill people indiscriminately, and he paid a lot of money, so after the initial fear, the locals returned to work and started working for Tang Zheng.

There are many mines here, and there are many such things. For a time, Tang Zheng was involved in the busy mining industry, and he could not get out of it for a short time.

 The war in the Southern Peninsula Alliance was broadcast on the news.

Through the transmission of radio waves, the whole world soon knew about Tang Zheng's invasion of the Southern Peninsula Alliance.

The troops who attacked Huacheng City finally gave up attacking Huacheng City when their hometown faced the threat of the Light-Zhuijun Army. Instead, they retreated and withdrew their troops and returned to their hometown to set up defenses.

The crumbling Huacheng City finally ushered in the dawn of peace. It is said that Duan Yunxiang, the emperor of the Plateau Empire, collapsed on the ground on the spot, with tears streaming down his face.

After this foreign invasion, Duan Yunxiang also knew that he would never be able to protect the provinces of the Plateau Empire with his own strength. After several thoughts, he finally surrendered to Li Wuyou and expressed that the Plateau Empire was willing to return to Hanyue. In the arms.

 After communicating with Tang Zheng, Li Wuyou asked Tang Zheng for his opinion.

Tang Zheng asked Li Wuyou to accept Huacheng City with peace of mind. He currently did not have the strength to take care of so many areas.

Li Wuyou finally expressed his acceptance of the return of the Plateau Empire. When the news came out, the empire was full of joy.

  With the acquisition of several provinces in the southwest, the Han Yue Empire finally had some new outlook.

 The disintegration of the Han month was caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters.

 Natural disasters are biohazards, and man-made disasters are the rebellion of a group army.

However, with the continuous fighting, there are fewer and fewer zombies around each base city, and the two zombie kings, Big Corpse Sister and Little Corpse Sister, have left the territory of Hanyue, and the threat of zombies has begun to decrease.

As for man-made disasters, several countries established by group armies have now been defeated, which also gave the Hanyue people some hope.

If this continues, it may not take too long before the restoration of the country can be completed.

 Pearl Islands.

This is located in the sea southeast of Hanyue and was the original location of the Royal Third Army.

 Among them, Mingzhu Island, the main island of the Pearl Islands, is the largest island in Han Dynasty, covering an area of ​​700,000 square kilometers.

Tang Yafei, commander of the Third Army, is the only group army that has not announced its separation from Han Yue since the end of the world.

 After the end of the world, ocean giants were rampant. The Pearl Islands were more than a thousand kilometers away from Hanyue Continent. This was already a very long distance, and sea transportation was once interrupted.

Tang Yafei has been working to restore maritime transportation and naval power since then, and it has only recently achieved some results.

 However, internal navigation with Hanyue has not been restored.

 Because the Third Army encountered a lot of trouble.

Several countries from the southeast, including the Wool Empire, Java Kingdom, Coconut Kingdom, etc., have already sailed their fleets to some islands located in the easternmost part of the Pearl Islands.

 The main force of the Third Army is currently defending some major islands to prevent these countries from continuing to invade their islands.

They have been facing each other for quite some time. Once this battle starts, it will definitely be cruel.

Although the Third Army has good naval power, it is not in vain for several other countries.

 It is already mid-September, and this period of peace has lasted for nearly three months. In the past three months, all countries have been actively developing, with economic and military progress going hand in hand, and all the forces that can be mobilized have been mobilized to eliminate the surrounding zombies.

 But during this period, everyone has made great progress.

Several countries such as the Wool Empire were originally coastal countries with strong naval forces. Now many types of warships have been developed, such as frigates, light aircraft carriers, and carrier-based aircraft. Third-generation aircraft have begun to become popular.

It's just the Third Army's home battle, and the navy's strength is not weak. This is also the time when everyone starts an arms race, so this battle has not started yet.

 But in recent days, things have changed dramatically.

 The Magnolia Empire and the Wool Empire signed an arms sales contract and sold two medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier battle groups to the Wool Empire.

This kind of aircraft carrier is not a crude aircraft carrier like Daliao. It is exactly the same as the aircraft carrier before the end of the world, and has everything it should have.

The two aircraft carriers can carry a total of one hundred and ten carrier-based aircraft, and the aircraft type is the same as the F14 of the Light Chaser Army, which is a typical third-generation carrier-based aircraft.

 Along with the two aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, there are also some supporting warships such as frigates and battleships.

 The Wool Empire will also provide a large amount of precious metals, as well as a large amount of iron ore and, yes, free of charge to the Magnolia Empire as a bargaining chip for the transaction.

Overall, the Wool Empire’s deal was a loss, but it was able to obtain immediate combat power, which was very important to them. The addition of this force would break the military balance in the southeastern sea.

 Two aircraft carrier battle groups have arrived at the Wool Empire and are currently heading towards the Pearl Islands.

Tang Yafei knew that the situation was not good, and had already sent messages asking for help to Li Wuyou, Tang Zheng, and Zhang Yupeng in the Binhai Empire.

But Tang Yafei also knew that Li Wuyou had just occupied Haiwei City and the navy had not yet developed. Although the army was relatively powerful, it was impossible for him to support him.

 The only people she can count on are Tang Zheng and Zhang Yupeng.

 These two people have no friendship with her. They didn’t know each other before the end of the world, and they haven’t had time to get to know each other after the end of the world.

However, the news has already reported that Tang Zheng is currently fighting with the Southern Peninsula Alliance, and it may be difficult for him to support him.

 Her real hope is the support of Binhai's Zhang Yupeng.

Binhai Empire, Zhang Yupeng looked at Dr. Ma in front of him and couldn't believe what he heard.

“Doctor, did I hear you correctly? Do you want me to join the attack on the Pearl Islands, and join the Wool Empire, Java Kingdom and others to fight against Tang Yafei?”

 Dr. Ma nodded: “Yes, that’s what I mean.”

“But. But Tang Yafei is from Hanyue. How can I help foreigners beat her?”

Dr. Ma looked at Zhang Yupeng: "Your Majesty, ever since you established the Binhai Empire, you have been separated from these people. Regardless of whether Tang Yafei founded the country and became independent or not, he is no longer with you. And do you know the significance of taking the Pearl Islands? ?”

 “What’s the point?” Zhang Yupeng asked.

Dr. Ma pointed at the map: "As long as the Pearl Islands are captured, the southeastern sea area will be like a sea gate. As long as we block the Pearl Strait, Tang Zheng's navy will be locked up in the north forever. If he wants to continue southward, It is undoubtedly dangerous to go around the Pearl Islands."

“As long as we can restrain Tang Zheng’s development space, everything we do will be worthwhile.”

Zhang Yupeng was a little puzzled when he heard this: "Doctor, some time ago, we joined forces with the people from Dayan to lure the sea monster to Didui Island. We suffered heavy losses in that battle. An aircraft carrier battle group was annihilated by Tang Zheng. I know you hate Tang Zheng, and I hate Tang Zheng, but do we really need to go to this point? Join forces with foreigners just to block Tang Zheng's development space? Maybe I will be infamy for thousands of years. "

Dr. Ma finally lowered his voice and slowly said to Zhang Yupeng: "Your Majesty, don't forget your identity. You are not only the emperor of the Binhai Empire, you are also our No. 9!"

Zhang Yupeng was stunned for a moment. He lowered his head and saw the black basilisk ring on his hand, and realized that he had joined a mysterious organization a few days ago.

 He is the number nine in this organization, and he wants to be the number one.

 Even as number nine, he received great benefits.

This Dr. Ma brought him the latest warship manufacturing diagram, and also brought him the method of manufacturing armed zombies.

 With what Dr. Ma brought, his strength gradually recovered a lot.

 But he still didn’t think that Tang Yafei should be beaten because the reasons given by Dr. Ma were not sufficient.

Perceiving Zhang Yupeng’s thoughts, Dr. Ma finally revealed an important factor.

 “Did you know? Number 10 is dead!”

 Zhang Yupeng suddenly raised his head in confusion: "Dead?"

"Yes, candidate No. 10 and his mentor have both died in Tang Zheng's hands. This is the first time a mentor has died. Now in the organization, you and I are both No. 9, and we are already at the bottom. That’s it.”

Zhang Yupeng's face suddenly brightened: "Are we at the bottom? No. 10 was killed by Tang Zheng."

"Yes, Tang Zheng has now become a thorn in the side of the organization. Any behavior against him will be appreciated, so being able to cause trouble for him should be more important than your national complex. If Tang Zheng is allowed to develop, We will suffer greatly from this!”
