While Chen Xin was using the virtual system to calculate whether the destruction caused by the nuclear explosion could clear out the underground alien creatures, the military was also paying attention to this matter.
However, the military’s approach was sowhat different from Chen Xin’s. They did not rely on collecting data for analysis, but instead used various instrunts to set up a new surveillance network in the Dongting Lake Region to monitor the underground situation.
This is a lesson learned from previous battles with alien creatures: when aliens dig and move underground, they cause vibrations and leave various traces. These activities can be detected using instruntal equipnt.
With the current human technology, these tasks are feasible. Previously, there was no reason to monitor underground, but now that it is known aliens exist there, using this equipnt is a natural step, preventing the need for another battle against alien creatures.
The news gathered from this detection network was quite encouraging. At least, within the current detection range of the instrunts, no further traces of alien activity were found.
This cald both the military and national leaders considerably. Although the entire detection network was left in place as a precaution, along with a significant military presence still stationed in the Dongting Lake Region, at least the massive army originally assembled could be repurposed, and the previously fully operating military production could temporarily be adjusted towards civil needs.
The two-year battle with alien creatures had a significant impact on the lives of citizens in the Fla Country. Although it did not result in widespread hunger, many people’s living standards dropped significantly.
This situation was unavoidable, given it was a massive war. If the nation didn’t focus resources and strength on military production, it wouldn’t have been sustainable.
However, the subsequent decline in people’s living standards was a necessary sacrifice. One can only say that the pain brought by war is inevitable.
But although the nation is now planning to shift resources and strength towards civil needs, the adjustnts cannot be too large or too fast. While military production doesn’t require the sa full capacity, it still needs to be maintained.
This maintenance is partly because Europe is still in a major battle with alien creatures, and dostic support for Europe is needed.
It’s also to defend against a possible second front opening in the Middle East Region.
Despite so dostic opposition to continued support for Europe and building defenses in the Middle East Region, including so differing opinions within the leadership, a consensus was reached. The decision was made to continue supporting the European Battlefield and to coordinate with Lucia to extend the Eastern European defense line into the Middle East Region, blocking alien creatures on the sopotamian Plain.
However, as a compromise, while unified in the internal decision to build defenses in the Middle East, it was also proposed to first conduct regional reconnaissance in the diterranean, Africa, and the Middle East. Only after confirming the absence of alien invasions in the Middle East could defenses be constructed there; otherwise, defenses would be erected in the Himalayas.
This request is not excessive from a strategic standpoint. If alien creatures are already advancing into the Middle East, building a defense line requires a substantial military presence to hold off the alien attacks while construction takes place.
It’s akin to the initial situation at the Dongting Lake Battlefield, where the military stood firm against alien attacks until the defense line was established.
But this approach would undoubtedly lead to significant military losses. Furthermore, foreign engagents are more challenging compared to dostic ones in terms of supplies, personnel, and logistics, leading to higher casualties and losses.
If combat were dostically, it’s every soldier’s duty to defend the holand.
Yet, sacrificing abroad due to environntal constraints introduces unnecessary losses, even though it’s still about defending the holand, it understandably raises questions for so.
On this point, several discussions between the military and leadership led to the current compromise, preparing for both possibilities.
Thus, as the situation in the Dongting Lake Region stabilized, the regional reconnaissance in the Middle East quickly comnced.
A light Land Ship set off from the holand toward the Middle East Region, tasked with detailed regional reconnaissance to ascertain the situation.
Dostically, adjustnts were underway to transition the nation from a full war footing back to normal, while preparing various resources and building materials for future defense line construction.
Additionally, two design teams must draft plans for defense construction based on the circumstances in the Middle East Region and the Himalayas.
In short, though the battle in the Dongting Lake Region might be temporarily over, there is no shortage of tasks to manage.
It could even be claid that the workload increased post-battle due to nurous demands.
Fortunately, continuous material shipnts from Europe to the holand, alongside the improving and stabilizing situation, increased the volu and type of goods, making the freight lines between the Fla Country and Europe busier.
After careful consideration, the Lucians proposed rebuilding the railway lines, considering future material transportation and strategic support.
This proposal garnered support from Europe, and after thorough evaluation, the Fla Country also agreed to the plan, offering nuclear-powered locomotives for support.
Although freight trains are slower than freight Land Ships, the powerful thrust of nuclear-powered locomotives offers significantly greater cargo capacity than freight Land Ships.
Furthermore, given the railway’s extensive length, there will naturally be more than one train journey.
Once the railway is completed, it will strengthen the ties between Europe, Lucia, and the Fla Country, facilitating smoother material exchange.
This developnt will provide substantial support against alien invasions.
Especially since the Fla Country plans to build a Middle East defense line afterward, having this railway will greatly ease the transportation of materials.
As a result, the dostic railway departnt is intensely busy, maintaining the vast dostic network while also coordinating internationally to connect the Eurasion Railway, stretching their resources thin.
While everyone was occupied with their roles, Chen Xin received an invitation from the Jinning Railway Factory to observe the production of the latest nuclear-powered train.
Given the nuclear-powered train’s future importance as a transportation tool, Chen Xin took this matter seriously.
Before heading to the Jinning Railway Factory, he decided to bring along Qin Lan and Mo Qingyan.
