Chapter 2122: The Cake of the Turku Federal Kingdom
Chicken Island
Zhao Chen lay on the beach, watching girls in bikinis playing and frolicking in the water.
Some people will also buy ice cream or watermelon to enjoy this rare vacation time.
Although Chicken Island serves as an outpost, it still needs necessary rest and recreation.
Therefore, Zhao Chen specially reserved a beach on Chicken Island.
It's about giving them a place to relax and enjoy themselves when they're resting.
Zhao Chen could also lie here and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Just then, footsteps sounded beside Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked over.
"You actually came here in person."
"Has something big happened?" Zhao Chen asked, looking at the secretary from Little Chicken Island standing beside him.
When there is a message to be relayed, a communications soldier will usually come to notify the recipient.
If the secretary from Chicken Island comes to notify us in person.
That means this matter is very important and special.
"It's something that happened on the Northern Continent."
On the northern continent.
Phoenix led his army in the Battle of the Southern Fortress.
They besieged the two million-strong army of the Turku Federation Kingdom.
After a series of battles.
More than 500,000 were captured and 1 million were killed.
Fewer than 500,000 people remain stranded in mountainous areas across the country, and efforts are underway to clear them out.
After this battle, the Frost Dragon Kingdom essentially established its dominance over the southern coast of the Northern Continent.
At this time, the Kingdom of Turku also made their new decision.
A rebellion has broken out within the Turku Federal Kingdom.
Those parties that allied with external forces launched a bloody purge against the surrender faction.
An attack and assassination were carried out on relevant personnel after the conclusion of a federal parliamentary session.
They also shifted the blame for these assassinations onto the Frost Dragon Kingdom in an attempt to incite public outrage.
at the same time.
More than five surrounding kingdoms have mobilized their armies.
Enter the territory of the Turku Federal Kingdom from all directions.
It's clear that they have already divided up the spoils of the Turku Federation with the people inside the Federation.
They wanted to seize this piece of the pie while the Frost Dragon Kingdom was still consolidating its power.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen smiled calmly: "In the ocean, when a whale is killed..."
The smell of blood would naturally attract predators from the surrounding waters.
"After the surrender faction of the Turku Federal Kingdom was persecuted, the remaining small number of members of the faction withdrew to the coastal area."
Fortunately.
Phoenix anticipated that this situation might occur.
Let Hydrodia lead the fleet to make preparations well in advance after the previous naval battle.
Leading a group of marines, they quickly traveled along the southern coastline to the port of the Turku Federation Kingdom.
They joined up with the surrender faction and landed there.
Until we receive the message.
Fire Phoenix has almost taken control of several coastal cities in the Turku Federation Kingdom.
The current situation in the entire Turku Federal Kingdom is as follows.
As the secretary of Chicken Island spoke, he took out a map.
The territory of the Turku Federation Kingdom has been divided into many different colored power zones.
In the southern coastal region, which covers roughly one-tenth of the territory of the Turku Federal Kingdom, the entire area is marked in red.
"This red area is the area controlled by Phoenix."
Those who surrendered have clearly sided with Phoenix.
Phoenix offered them very favorable terms for surrender, except for the loss of diplomatic and military control.
They remained the lords of their original territories, in charge of the related industries.
In this northern region, nearly one-fifth of the cities...
It has now been completely taken over by foreign forces, who have stationed more than two million troops here.
Furthermore, given the current trajectory, the ultimate goal of external forces should be to control two-thirds of the northwestern territory of the Turku Federation Kingdom.
Some lords who believed they had some power chose to become independent with the support of external forces.
These areas account for roughly one-fifth of the total.
In this way...
The territory of the Turku Federal Kingdom has now been completely divided.
According to the ideas of those external forces.
The territory left to the Frost Dragon Kingdom will not exceed one-fifth.
"Interesting, very interesting."
Those who fought on the front lines ended up receiving only one-fifth of the spoils.
Who gave them this courage?
"Or do they think they're more resilient than the Turku Federation Kingdom?" Zhao Chen said jokingly.
The secretary of Chicken Island analyzed, "Based on our conjecture..."
Most of them believed that after this fierce battle, the Frost Dragon Kingdom would be unlikely to start another war, at least for a short period of time.
It will take at least a year and a half to get some rest.
In the year and a half that follows, these external forces have enough time to do two things.
First, we need to build new lines of defense within this new territory.
Second, move all the valuable items within the Turku Federal Kingdom.
Even if the Frost Dragon Kingdom were to conquer them, all that would be left for the Frost Dragon Kingdom would be a piece of land of little value.
For them, neither option would be a loss.
Zhao Chen suddenly realized, and he said with a smile, "So, they simply think..."
"Won't Phoenix capitalize on their momentum?"
"Yes.
"At least on paper, the Frost Dragon Kingdom certainly doesn't possess such strength," said the Chicken Island secretary.
"What are Phoenix's thoughts?" Zhao Chen asked.
Not yet.
Phoenix's troops are currently resting in the southern fortress area.
In addition to searching for and eliminating the remnants of the previous two million troops.
"There are no plans to venture further into the Turku Federation Kingdom," said the Chicken Island secretary.
"Then let's wait a little longer."
"I think that King Phoenix shouldn't keep us waiting too long." Zhao Chen put his sunglasses back on.
Enjoying these wonderful summer days on the beach.
Watching those young girls playing.
He's a man in his thirties who's pursuing his fourth child.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion).
It's so good to be young.
Zhao Chen's guess was correct.
The next day.
Phoenix came knocking on their door.
That's right!
They've come knocking on our door.
Zhao Chen knew that Phoenix would contact him, perhaps by radio, radio, or by sending someone.
But Zhao Chen didn't expect this guy to come in person.
He took one of his adjutants and flew over the sea in a propeller plane.
It landed on the runway of the airport on Chicken Island.
Phoenix was wearing a bomber jacket and goggles on his forehead.
She rushed over to Zhao Chen.
"OMG.
You, the king of the Frost Dragon Kingdom, flew here in your own plane?
"Aren't you worried about the plane crashing into the sea?" Zhao Chen was speechless.
This guy is a complete madman.
"I've calculated it."
I had all the weapons removed from that plane and two additional fuel tanks added.
"Make sure I can land at Chicken Island's location," Phoenix said confidently.
Zhao Chen shrugged, then looked at Phoenix, whose aura was clearly different from when he was a pirate, and asked, "Speak."
"Your Majesty, Frost Dragon King, what brings you here?"
Phoenix said with a serious expression, "I need more tanks and planes, as well as ammunition and oil quotas."
I know you have it!
Phoenix's eyes were very serious.
"Give me a reason to convince me," Zhao Chen asked calmly.
Phoenix had prepared a speech beforehand, and he began by saying, "You must already know the situation in the Turku Federation Kingdom."
The jackals smelled the blood and wanted to devour our prey.
Moreover, they are extremely greedy.
They want to take the vast majority.
All of this is because of our insufficient ammunition and fuel supplies.
This is also an issue that is out in the open.
But we can't wait now.
I have received the latest news.
In the north, that great battle has already come to an end.
The established powers have gained a temporary advantage, and it is highly likely that a period of stable and stalemate will follow.
During this period, both the old and new factions will inevitably turn their attention to other regions where they can exploit others.
That includes our side as well.
The reason those external forces dared to make such exorbitant demands is precisely because of this.
They had long prepared their pledge of allegiance.
At that time, they will first take over the territory of the Turku Federal Kingdom, and then offer their allegiance to those giants.
If we dare to confront them, they can send their giants to confront us.
If we swallow our anger, they'll just take advantage of us.
That's their plan.
As for dealing with those giants, frankly speaking, our current strength is still insufficient.
so.
Our only choice.
It was just before the halftime break of that war.
We will first rely on our own strength to reclaim the Turku Federal Kingdom, and even more land.
With even more resources, they will enter the second half of the duel in the Northern Continent!
Therefore, I hope you can provide me with enough military resources to get my army moving again!
Zhao Chen understood Phoenix's meaning.
He smiled slightly and said, "Before this, we had always cooperated in accordance with the contract."
I will give you everything that is due, not a penny less.
But now, you want me to come up with an extra portion.
There are also oil fields within the Turku Federal Kingdom.
"You'll take 60% and we'll take 40% of the shares in these oil fields!"
“I’ll take seven, you take three,” Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"good!"
Phoenix immediately agreed.
Zhao Chen felt that his offer might be a bit too good, and perhaps he could negotiate it down a bit more.
But now, it seems this is the only way.
Within a week.
A fleet of cargo ships will arrive at your designated port.
There will be two thousand tanks of various models inside.
Two thousand aircraft of various models.
In addition, there are land-based weapons capable of arming at least 50,000 elite troops, as well as various heavy weapons and equipment. Zhao Chen looked at Phoenix.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
We will definitely not let you down.
"Investing in the Frost Dragon Kingdom will surely bring you a thousandfold return!" Fire Phoenix knelt on one knee and said earnestly.
Zhao Chen smiled slightly.
He didn't say anything.
Some things are better left unsaid.
It's better to see how you do it.
After saying that, Phoenix walked towards his fighter jet.
"Are you going back already?" Zhao Chen asked Phoenix.
"They need me over there."
"I can't be away for too long," Phoenix said.
Zhao Chen said helplessly, "Alright."
Don't fly on your old plane anymore.
It's uncertain whether that thing can even take you back to the Frost Dragon Kingdom.
I'll arrange another plane for you.
However, you can't fly this plane for now.
I'll arrange another pilot for you.
Zhao Chen gave a few instructions to the adjutant beside him.
"You have even more advanced fighter jets here?" Phoenix asked, somewhat surprised.
The fighter jet he piloted was already practically a one-against-a-hundred force in the skies above the Northern Continent.
And now, there are even more advanced fighter jets on the JF-17 side.
A fighter jet was pushed out of the hangar.
The most striking feature is that it has no propeller.
"It's a two-seat jet fighter. I hope you won't get airsick when you ride in it," Zhao Chen said with a smile.
Jet fighter jet?
Phoenix looked surprised; he had heard of the term before.
But to my surprise, the JF-17 already had one.
Don't overthink it.
We currently have less than a hundred of these.
The yield is pitifully low.
So what you want is something that cannot be supplied to you in bulk for the time being.
They are temporarily unable to form an effective combat force on the battlefield.
"You'll need to wait at least another six months." Zhao Chen could see what was going on in Phoenix's gleaming eyes.
Phoenix put his helmet back on and sat in the brand-new cockpit.
Inside the cockpit, Phoenix looked at the instrument panel that was almost completely unfamiliar to him.
For the first time, he felt that he was completely unfamiliar with fighter jets.
The cabin canopy was closed.
"Sir, we are about to take off."
I will be in full control of the aircraft during this flight.
"Please do not touch any control buttons or equipment in front of you," the fighter pilot said from the front.
It was still a woman's voice.
"Yes." Phoenix replied, sounding like a new recruit.
soon.
The plane made a roaring sound.
It then soared into the sky at an astonishing speed.
Phoenix felt the terrifying centrifugal force.
He only recovered when he was already high in the air.
"Excuse me."
"What is the top speed of this fighter jet?" Phoenix couldn't help but ask, his curiosity piqued.
The driver in the front seat said casually, "I'm not too sure about that."
The researchers told me that the flight speed should not exceed 1,000 kilometers per hour.
Otherwise, I might end up running naked in the air.
To be honest, this aircraft still has many problems and can only be considered a batch of experimental aircraft.
However, I feel that its actual speed is definitely much higher than 1,000 kilometers per hour.
After seeing this kind of fighter jet, it's much easier to fly those old, outdated planes.
It felt like riding a bicycle.
One thousand kilometers per hour!
That's almost twice the speed of the fighter jets on the Northern Continent.
If these fighter jets appeared in large numbers over the northern continent.
That would undoubtedly be a massacre of the fledglings by the eagle!
