Chapter 4514 4516 [War Preparation]

"Don't worry, God will not take action himself. At most, he will send down an oracle and let the priests lead the believers to fight." Kolibuso waved his hand and said.

"Really? I have little education, please don't lie to me." Xiang Nan said doubtfully.

"The spirit world is both a protection for gods and a deep bondage. It is difficult for gods to influence the real world through the spirit world. Just delivering some messages and some artifacts will consume a lot of divine power." Kolibuso waved his hand and said, "If a god wants to fight a war in person, I'm afraid even the most powerful gods will die on the spot."

It is difficult for gods to enter the real world because it consumes a lot of divine power. Therefore, if gods want to appear in the world, they usually have to rely on incarnation or reincarnation.

Of course, under this condition, God's power will be greatly weakened.

For example, after God was reincarnated as Jesus, he was still killed; after Colibusso was sealed as Tia Dalma, a dozen pirates could capture her...

"It may not be easy to fight a war, but it must not be difficult to kill me." Xiang Nan still said worriedly.

Just like when the Aztec Empire was conquered by Hergé Cortes, Quetzalcoatl did not help the Aztec Empire fight, but still cursed and killed Cortes.

Therefore, Xiang Nan was worried that the gods would not let him go. After all, he was the biggest contributor to the rise of the Goddess Church, and of course he would be regarded as the "mastermind" by other gods.

"Don't worry, the gods are not that petty, and they are basically good gods." Kolibuso waved his hand and said, "Besides, hundreds or thousands of years in the mortal world are completely meaningless to the gods in the spiritual world. They are not even a blink of an eye, so they won'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 completely believe Colibuso's statement.

"If you are really worried, then as long as you don't get involved yourself, you will be fine." Colibuso said, "If you don't believe me, look at the Pope. He was still alive and well during the nine Crusades."

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.

……

In the following years, Xiang Nan began to prepare for war.

Although he will not fight in person, he will still have all the support he needs.

What war needs most are resources, including soldiers, pay, weapons, equipment, and food. None of them can be lacking.

The Goddess Church has no shortage of manpower. With more than 200 million members, it is already the third largest denomination in the world, and most of them are loyal.

There is no shortage of military pay. Xiang Nan has the "Sun and Star Amulet", which means he can get a mountain of gold with just a finger, and gold is a natural currency.

What is lacking now are weapons, equipment and food.

To this end, Xiang Nan specially summoned believers of the Goddess Church to build ironworks in Brazil, Australia and other places to mine ore, refine steel, produce steel, and then build weapons.

Brazil and Australia both have very rich iron ore deposits, and they are all rich ores, very close to the surface, and very suitable for mining.

Although there are colonists in Brazil and Australia today, most of them are in coastal areas, and there are not many people in inland areas. Of course, it is usually not easy to go to inland areas.

Because there were no roads at that time, travelers had to travel through mountains and rivers, sleep in the open air, and be careful of dangers on the road. Just like the westward movement in the United States, countless travelers died on the way.

Moreover, large-scale immigration activities are difficult to escape the eyes of the ruling party. After all, it is difficult not to attract attention when thousands of immigrants set out to the inland.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan used the space created by the traceless extension spell to move these believers directly there, without having to travel thousands of miles, which was extremely convenient and did not attract any attention at all. Xiang Nan had already helped the immigrants build houses, factories, and machines in the inland areas in advance, and even used huge magnetite to provide energy.

Not only does it make the immigrant city bright everywhere, but it also ensures that the mines, smelters, forges, weapons factories, etc. have sufficient energy production.

Therefore, when these believers were brought to these new cities, they were shocked to see that the cities were bright, the houses were large and spacious, and the machines were so huge and advanced, and many of them were even automated. They thought they had come to the kingdom of God.

They then began mining, steelmaking, forging, production, assembly and other work in the immigrant city.

They were basically believers brought by Xiang Nan from Europe, who were knowledgeable, cultured, and skilled, so they quickly mastered the work. Subsequently, a large number of guns, cannons, bullets, shells, helmets, etc. were manufactured.

……

In terms of food, Xiang Nan not only spent a lot of money to store food, but also reclaimed a large amount of land and cultivated crops in the Midwest of the United States.

The people who are responsible for farming are basically from Asia. Asians are good at growing food, especially the people in Middle-earth, who simply love the land and don't want to waste any of it.

The Great Plains in the Midwest of the United States have more than thousands or tens of thousands of hectares of land, enough for them to farm.

Xiang Nan also provided them with the best seeds and used magic weapons 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, it is not conducive to human survival.

The reason is that the mountains in the United States basically run from north to south, so hurricanes from south to north cannot be stopped, and cold air from north to south cannot be stopped.

So there are hurricanes in the summer and cold winds in the winter, and extreme weather is very frequent. Even the Indians can't stand it and would rather move to the jungles in southern Mexico.

Fortunately, Xiang Nan has magic that can help them resist drought and wind disasters. The frost wristband in his hand can absorb cold air, and the storm stone can absorb wind energy.

If it didn't rain during the irrigation season, Xiang Nan could call the wind and rain. He also had a statue of the corn god in his hand, and praying to him would bring a good harvest.

As a result, within a few years, Xiang Nan had accumulated millions of tons of grain.

……

The year came to 1756, when the alliances of Britain, Prussia, France, Austria and Russia started a war for hegemony over the European continent and rule over the colonies.

Afterwards, a few German states such as Portugal and Hanover joined the Anglo-Prussian Alliance, while Spain, Sweden, Saxony and other German states joined the Franco-Austrian-Russian Alliance.

The two alliances not only fought on the European continent, but also in North America, Central America, West Africa, India, and the South Pacific.

Xiang Nandu received a military order and led the HMS Dreadnought and HMS Interceptor to attack the French and Spanish colonies in the Caribbean.

He also knew that this war was called the "Seven Years' War" because it lasted for seven years and Britain won a complete victory in this war.

France was forced to cede the West Indies in the Caribbean, many colonies in West Africa, the east bank of the Mississippi River and Canada to Britain, and withdraw from India. Britain also became the hegemon of Europe in one fell swoop.

"Chaos is the ladder to rise!" Xiang Nan couldn't help laughing after seeing the military order.
