Chapter 4514 Chapter 4516 [Preparation for War]
"Don't worry, God will not end up personally. At most, he will send an oracle and let the priests lead the believers to fight." Corybuso waved his hand and said.
"Really? I don't study well, don't lie to me." Xiang Nan said doubtfully.
"The spiritual world is both a kind of protection and a deep restraint for gods. It is difficult for gods to influence the real world through the spiritual world. Just transmitting some messages and some artifacts will consume a lot of divine power." Cory Busso Waving his hands, he said, "If you want to fight a war in person, even the most powerful **** will die suddenly on the spot."
It is difficult for gods to enter the real world because it requires a lot of divine power. Therefore, if a spirit wants to appear in the world, it usually must use incarnation or reincarnation.
Of course, in this state, God's power will also be greatly reduced.
For example, after God is reincarnated as Jesus, he will still be killed; after Colybuso is sealed into Tia Dalma, a dozen pirates can capture her...
"It may not be easy to fight a war, but it certainly won't be difficult to kill me." Xiang Nan said still worried.
Just like when the Aztec Empire was conquered by Hergé Cortez, Quetzalcoatl did not help the Aztec Empire fight, but he also cursed and killed Cortez.
Therefore, Xiang Nan is worried that those gods will not let him go. After all, he is the biggest contributor to the rise of the Goddess Church. Of course, he will also be regarded as the "mastermind" by other gods.
"Don't worry, gods are not that small-minded, and those are basically good gods." Corybuso waved his hand, "Besides, hundreds and thousands of years in the mortal world are completely meaningless to the gods in the spiritual world. It doesn’t matter in the blink of an eye, and I don’t care too much about these gains and losses.”
"Are they as free and easy as you say? If that's the case, who cursed the Aztec gold coins, and why did Atlantis sink?" Xiang Nan did not fully accept Cory Busso's remarks.
"If you are really worried, then as long as you don't end up personally, it will basically be fine." Cory Busso said, "If you don't believe it, just look at the Pope. He went on nine Crusades and the Pope is still alive and well."
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
In the following years, Xiang Nan began to prepare for war.
Although he won't fight in person, he still has a lot of support.
What war needs most is resources. Soldiers, military pay, weapons, equipment, and food are all indispensable.
The Goddess Church has no shortage of soldiers. With more than 200 million members, it is already the third largest sect in the world, and most of them are loyal.
There is no shortage of military pay. Xiang Nan possesses the "Amulet of the Sun and Stars", which can reveal a mountain of gold at his fingertips, and gold is naturally currency.
What is lacking now are weapons, equipment and food.
To this end, Xiang Nan specially summoned believers of the Goddess Church to build iron factories in Brazil, Australia and other places, mine ore, refine steel, produce steel, and then forge weapons.
Both Brazil and Australia are very rich in iron ore, and both are rich in iron ore. They are very close to the surface and are very suitable for mining.
Today, although there are colonists in Brazil and Australia, most of them are in coastal areas, and there are not many people in the inland areas. Of course, it’s usually not easy to get to inland areas.
Moreover, it is difficult for large-scale immigration activities to escape the eyes of those in power. After all, migrants heading inland by the thousands would be hard not to attract attention.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan used the Traceless Stretching Spell to create a space where these believers could be moved directly. There was no need to travel thousands of miles across mountains and rivers. It was naturally extremely convenient and did not attract any attention at all. In the inland areas, Xiang Nan has also helped immigrants build houses, factories, and machines in advance, and even used huge magnetite to provide energy.
Not only will the immigrant city be bright everywhere, but mining plants, smelters, forges, weapons factories, etc. will also have sufficient energy production.
Therefore, when these believers were brought to these new cities and saw that the city was bright, the houses were big and bright, and the machines were so huge, with such advanced functions, and even many of them were automated production, they were so shocked that their eyes widened, and they even I thought I had arrived in the Kingdom of God.
And they then started mining, steelmaking, forging, production, assembly and other work in the immigrant city.
They are basically believers brought by Xiang Nan from Europe. They have knowledge, culture, and skills, so they can get started with these jobs quickly. Subsequently, a large number of guns, cannons, bullets, cannonballs, helmets, etc. were created.
…
In terms of food, Xiang Nan not only spent a lot of money to reserve food, but also cultivated a large amount of wasteland in the Midwestern United States.
The people responsible for farming are basically from Asia. Asians are good at growing food, especially Chinese people. They love the land so much that they don't want to waste every bit of it.
In the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of hectares of land, enough for them to plant.
Xiang Nan also provided them with the best seeds and used artifacts to help them resist wind and cold disasters.
In fact, although the continental United States is vast, the land is fertile, and the rivers are widely distributed, making irrigation cheap. But the United States itself is not conducive to human survival.
The reason is that the mountains in the United States basically run north-south, so hurricanes from south to north cannot be stopped, and neither can cold air from north to south.
Therefore, hurricanes blow in the summer and cold winds blow in the winter. Extreme weather is so frequent that even the Indians can't stand it and would rather move to the jungles of southern Mexico.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan has magic that can help them resist drought and wind disasters. The Frost Bracers in his hands can absorb cold air, and the Storm Stone can absorb wind energy.
And if it hasn't rained yet during the irrigation season, Xiang Nan can still call for wind and rain. And he also has an idol of the corn **** in his hand. Praying to him will bring a good harvest.
Therefore, within a few years, Xiang Nan had accumulated millions of tons of grain.
…
Time came to 1756. The alliance of Britain and Prussia, together with France, Austria and Russia, started a war to compete for the hegemony of the European continent and the dominance of the colonies.
Later, a few German federations such as Portugal and Hanover joined the Anglo-Prussian Alliance, while Spain, Sweden, Saxony and other German federations joined the Franco-Austro-Russian Alliance.
The two alliances are not only fighting on the European continent, but also in North America, Central America, West Africa, India, and the Southeast Asia.
Xiang Nandu received military orders and led the Fearless and Interceptor to attack the French and Spanish colonies in the Caribbean.
And he also knew that this war was called the "Seven Years' War" because the war lasted seven years and Britain achieved a comprehensive victory in this war.
France was forced to cede the West Indies in the Caribbean, many colonies in West Africa, the east coast of the Mississippi River and Canada to Britain, and withdraw from India. And Britain also became the hegemon of Europe in one fell swoop.
"Chaos is the ladder to ascend!" Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing after seeing the military order.
