188: Chapter 190 Marching into Japan, the Lackey's Sacred Body!

Gauss held nothing back, sending over a detailed map directly.

Seeing the map, Su Yang's eyes flickered with slight surprise.

First, he was surprised by the detail of the map; the Three-Party Alliance had already explored more than half the region.

Second, he was surprised by the speed and depth of Gauss's defection.

Even Leader Tang Ji, who was previously an ally, had some hesitation before Spain became a vassal state.

And this Gauss, who stood completely on the opposing side, defected completely the moment he was conquered, without any regard for dignity or honor.

He was simply a natural-born Saint Body of Sycophants!

Although Su Yang despised this kind of person from the bottom of his heart, he had to admit that he saved him a lot of trouble.

Opening the map, dense information appeared before his eyes.

This map was clearly a machine map, meaning a blueprint drawn with mechanical assistance.

From this, one could tell that the Three-Party Alliance likely had countries that had already entered the Electrical Age.

Although their Electrical Age might have a slight gap compared to the Dragon Country's Electrical Age.

Based on Australia's location on the map, Su Yang determined the position of the Heart of the Hive on the map.

This was information he had always wanted to know but had no way to obtain; the England Alliance countries were too weak to support outward exploration.

The Heart of the Hive was located in the lower-middle part of the map.

To the northwest was the Eye of the Earth, separated by the Wailing Mountains.

To the northeast was the Savage Forest, the Poland arrival zone, with no obstacles in between.

Seeing this, Su Yang thought that if he marched northeast and wiped out Poland, wouldn't that complete a historical achievement?

Thoughts aside, Su Yang was very satisfied with the current situation.

Besides being a famous landmark, Poland's other resources were completely incomparable to Australia's.

If he went to Poland first, the Three-Party Alliance would definitely greatly strengthen Australia's defense once they confirmed the Heart of the Hive.

At that time, he wouldn't be able to take this treasure trove of resources so easily.

Besides the two countries to the north of the Heart of the Hive, the south was a blank space, most likely England Alliance countries.

After reviewing the surrounding territories, the next more important information was the few countries that posed greater threats.

Among them, the leader of the Three-Party Alliance, who led the resistance against the Great Qin, was located in the northwest corner of the map.

They were very far from the Heart of the Hive, spanning at least four arrival zones in between.

Japan was closer to the Heart of the Hive, located in the northeast, and only separated by two arrival zones.

Further down were the Bear Country, France, Germany, and other countries.

The Bear Country was located in the northernmost part of the map, while France and Germany were in the easternmost region.

Looking at it as a whole, the position of the Great Qin was almost in the very center of the map.

It bordered at least five regions and was surrounded by many countries.

From a defensive perspective, this position was as bad as it could get.

Taking the Eye of the Earth in Australia, which he had just taken, it bordered a total of four regions.

Three were hostile countries, and one was unknown.

In this situation, if the enemy wanted to attack, they could organize troops to launch from at least three possible directions, which would greatly increase defensive pressure.

However, while it was extremely bad from a defensive standpoint, it was extremely good from an offensive standpoint.

Facing enemies on all four sides meant that the Great Qin could freely launch attacks in any direction; they could strike wherever they wanted.

This was perfect for the powerful Great Qin!

The best defense was offense: constantly expanding outward and crushing the enemy, leaving them no time to organize combat.

Looking at the surrounding countries, the one that posed the greatest threat to the Great Qin was naturally Japan.

Although the Three-Party Alliance could support any country with command points to strengthen their military forces.

But no matter how large a weak army was, it was useless; only countries with strong military power could make the best use of command points.

Japan and Afghanistan were located in the Goblin Mine arrival zone, and the Goblin Mine and the Eye of the Earth were connected by the Land of Extreme Darkness.

The Land of Extreme Darkness was inhabited by two countries, India and Argentina.

After conquering Australia today, the Three-Party Alliance would be able to lock onto the Great Qin's specific location.

At that time, a large amount of resources would flood into Japan, as well as India and Argentina to its southwest.

The resources flooding into India and Argentina would definitely be used for defense, to block the Great Qin's advance as much as possible.

And the resources flooding into Japan would definitely be invested entirely in the military.

The resources of the entire Three-Party Alliance combined with Japan's military capabilities would certainly be able to create a formidable force.

The longer it was delayed, the more resources would flow into Japan, and the greater the resistance would be.

Therefore, even excluding factors like national hatred, Japan was the top priority target for attack!

Su Yang's eyes flickered, determining the troops' next direction of march.

He would head straight northeast, enter the Land of Extreme Darkness, and strike India first, then Argentina.

After that, he would go straight into the Land of Extreme Darkness and take down Japan and Afghanistan.

Of course, the actual situation would certainly not be as smooth as the simulation.

Besides Australia, there were five other regions bordering the Land of Extreme Darkness.

Entering this region meant facing a joint attack from at least five or even more countries.

With the current strength of the two Expeditionary Forces, fighting a coalition of two countries could be almost damage-free.

But if this number continued to increase and they fell into a protracted war, the Expeditionary Force might fall into a disadvantage.

If he wanted to win steadily, he needed to expand the Expeditionary Forces to at least five before marching into the Land of Extreme Darkness.

Su Yang's thoughts flickered, having the AI prioritize all current objectives and calculate the resources needed to complete them.

First, stabilize the defense of Australia, ensuring all mines in Australia could operate at full capacity; this was basically already done.

Second, summon three new Expeditionary Forces; completing this required a large amount of command points.

A standard Expeditionary Force, based on the configuration of the first and second teams, had 50 Armored Elite Soldiers, 30 Armored Crossbowmen, 5 Scouts, 2 Fire Dragon Guards, 1 Skyfire Guard, 1 black iron chariot, 1 wolf smoke, and 5 Improved Blazing Colts.

After strategic reduction, the cost to summon such an Expeditionary Force was 65,000 command points; three units would require nearly 200,000 command points.

If he were at the Heart of the Hive, this amount could be obtained in three or even two battles.

But now the main force was at the Eye of the Earth, and it would take at least eight battles to acquire this amount of command points.

Therefore, to achieve this goal, he must have the Ranger Expeditionary Force assist.

The main force would stay at the Eye of the Earth to kill enemies, while the Ranger Expeditionary Force would fight within the territory.

With both lines working together, he could quickly complete the acquisition of command points.

The third point was to explore southward to clarify which countries the blank areas on the map were.

After completing the above tasks, only the final goal remained.

It was also the Great Qin's ultimate short-term goal—to march north and take down Japan.

As long as Japan was taken down, there would be no force in the entire central region that could fight against the Great Qin.

At that time, even if big countries like the United States wanted to fight, they wouldn't be able to send troops directly due to the distance.

They could only invest command points into some militarily weak countries, and these countries would be unable to stop the Great Qin's advance!

After determining the short-term goals, the workers in the territory also arrived one after another, and the real-time production capacity of each mine gradually climbed to the highest.

The AI summarized all the data and presented it on Su Yang's panel.

The moment he saw the data, Su Yang's eyebrows twitched.

He was rich now!
