Lin Wufa nodded and said, "Then when do we depart, and how will the personnel be configured?"
"The personnel will be from our Lin family. I had Lin Thirteen train another 5,000 people, all to the standards of our Lin family's death warriors. They should all be at Platinum peak now. It's a good opportunity for you to take them out for a combat drill," Lin Zhan revealed another trump card.
He then asked Bagesa, "General Bagesa, if all your soldiers were fully armed, how many would be Golden rank or above?"
Bagesa estimated, "Besides the current three main combat legions, we can arm another two million-strong main combat legions. The remaining Silver rank soldiers can also join the fight."
Lin Zhan nodded and took out a special document from his desk drawer, filling it out. After finishing, he called Lin Yi, saying, "You go find Lin Thirteen, gather the troops, bring all 5,000 people from the Lin family's special forces team, and have Lin Seven and Lin Eight bring their men along to be instructors for our black brothers and train them well. Then go find Uncle Lin Hu and request 4 million sets of Golden rank main combat legion equipment, 10 million sets of Silver rank military equipment, and then have Uncle Hu prepare 50 million sets of individual first-aid kits. Come back after all this is done."
Lin Yi nodded and said, "Yes, Young Master, I'll leave now."
After Lin Yi left, Lin Zhan took out his communicator and called Hua Shijiu back. With Lin Yi gone, Lin Zhan said to Bagesa, "General Bagesa, you should go with my second great-grandfather and the others. It will be safer. Wait for Shijiu to return before you leave. Let Shijiu go and treat Brother Hei properly, and use this opportunity to train some doctors for you."
Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, seeing Lin Zhan's arrangements, spoke up, "Zhan'er, mobilize another batch of engineers. We'll need manpower to build defensive fortifications then."
Lin Zhan's eyes gleamed, instantly understanding what his ancestor meant. It seemed Ancestor Liu Che had his sights set on the opponent's mineral resources. He quickly seized the opportunity and said, "It's truly thoughtful of Ancestor Liu Che. I'll mobilize another 30,000 elite engineers to go over and help our black brothers build up their defensive system."
Bagesa, well aware of their own situation, knew that even building a simple house required someone to read blueprints, let alone professional defensive facilities. He knew they were in good hands, and these Chinese brothers were truly capable, considering everything meticulously.
Lin Zhan looked at Bagesa's grateful gaze and continued, "If that's the case, I'll also bring you 2,000 large ballistae. Those are very useful for defending cities. They can kill Platinum high-tier war beasts in one shot. However, they require maintenance and some special metal resources. You'll have to provide those."
Bagesa was ecstatic to hear that Platinum rank beasts could be killed. Such a valuable asset, and the boss was bringing 2,000 of them! Asking for a little metal resource was nothing. He'd give half the African continent to China if asked. "Words can't express how much we appreciate your help to the African Special Zone, Grand Marshal. Don't worry, we will be the most loyal subordinates of China from now on. You can have me chop off Caesar's head right now, and I wouldn't even blink."
Caesar, who had been casually sipping tea with his legs crossed, was stunned. "What the hell does this have to do with me? Can you stop bringing me into it?"
Finally, Lin Zhan, with a wry smile, saw Bagesa off. At the same time, while Bagesa and Lin Wufa were talking, he quietly said to Liu Che and Liu Xiu, "Two ancestors, you are both blessed with max luck. When you get to the African Special Zone, remember to bring back any good things you see for the family."
Liu Xiu whispered, "Don't worry, my boy. If I see anything I like, I won't even leave them their underwear. We're supporting them with so much, we have to at least get our initial investment back."
Lin Zhan gave him a thumbs-up. "Exactly, ancestor. That's the spirit." He then said to Tie Lao Liu, Tie Lao Qi, and Tie Lao Ba, "Three brothers, keep an eye out too. I heard the African Special Zone used to have many rich people. You brothers can pay attention to their ancestors' tombs and graves when you have free time. If no one is watching, just dig them up."
Tie Lao Liu nodded. "Don't worry, brother. When you asked us, we knew you'd have this plan. Don't worry, I've brought my tools. It'll be foolproof. I'll even bring back their ancestors' bones for you to refine into alloys."
"Exactly, you know me best, Sixth Brother," Lin Zhan said happily, nodding.
Caesar, who had been sitting there drinking tea, looked at the scene with a completely bewildered expression. He couldn't help but pity Bagesa.
Lin Zhan saw Caesar, who was still bewildered, and was taken aback. "Holy crap, who's sitting here?" He then said to Caesar, "Well, General Caesar, should I silence you, or silence you?"
Caesar, hearing this, cupped his ear and shouted, "What? What did you say? You want to marry my granddaughter? Speak louder, I can't hear well because I've had a sore throat these past few days."
Lin Zhan, seeing Caesar playing dumb, gave him another thumbs-up. "You're the boss, really good at playing along."
Caesar was taken aback and then chuckled, "Of course. We're all family. If you can marry my little granddaughter, I won't even need you to scheme. I'll pack up Rome and give it to you."
Dian Wei, standing nearby, looked at the two sly old foxes with disdain. Relying on his strength as a peak Town Clan King, which was higher than Caesar's, he muttered under his breath, "This old geezer really talks a lot of nonsense. He's already advanced to King, and he still has a sore throat? How bad must it be? Why hasn't it burned you up, you old rascal?"
Caesar glared at Dian Wei. Seeing Dian Wei's robust physique, he knew he was no match. But he still put on a brave front, saying, "Kid, I'm telling you, be polite to me. Once your master marries my granddaughter, don't blame me for dealing with you."
"Pah," Dian Wei spat on the ground, "Damn it, my master has plenty of women. There are over 20 little foxes here right now. Which one is your granddaughter? You think you're so important? Don't you see if my master even wants to dip her in sauce?"
"Besides, if my master really took a liking to your little girl, I'd be the first to kill you, just to save my master the trouble of having an old ancestor watching him and causing him annoyance."
Dian Wei's barrage of words left Caesar speechless. Caesar, after a long pause, said with annoyance, "According to you, whether my granddaughter succeeds or not, you're going to kill me?"
Dian Wei thought for a moment and replied, "You could also commit suicide."
Caesar.......(ㄒoㄒ)(ㄒoㄒ)
