    Ivan did not stay on the Hexagonal Pearl for a long time. He chose to leave soon after Yan Keshou started working. Even the coalition staff actively invited him to "inspect the work." He declined. Although he has been the king for so long,  Ivan has never behaved like a political figure. He always tries to do things according to his own preferences when it is innocuous. Although he has been influenced by the earth's culture, in terms of selfishness and aloofness, Ivan is not.  Fan still stubbornly maintains his habits of nearly a thousand years, not because it is hard to get rid of, but because he feels that this attitude is not wrong in the first place - of course, these "problems" also destined that his image in the eyes of public figures will always be ambiguous.

    Ivan's next stop is Chad. Carmel is in the most important area of ??the earth. Due to the size of the space station, more than 60% of Carmel's population has been placed underground on this North African plateau. For the past four years,  , the Carmelites used magic to dig holes in the vast Sahara area like mice digging holes. It is said that the reclamation stones dug out and sold to Japan have expanded the current area of ??Tokyo by less than half - although in  In Ivan's view, no matter how well these underground cities are constructed, they are just temporary residences. His goal is always to establish a pure plane country, but it is undeniable that underground cities are an indispensable part of this road.

    At the former border between Chad and Niger, Carmel has opened dozens of large cities to accommodate a large number of refugees from Niger - this backward country that just joined the Consciousness Network Alliance a few days ago is just like it was four years ago.  Like Chad, the vast majority of people live in thatched houses made of mud and bark, living in almost primitive living conditions with little electricity and water. The economy relies heavily on international aid and has a weak industrial base If it were not for the incoming president  Because he is trying to avoid this catastrophe and has joined the Consciousness Network Alliance in exchange for the right to take refuge in Carmel, I am afraid that this kind of life will continue.

    Carmel is already very familiar with the treatment of these backward countries. The Carmel government first popularized communication devices through administrative means, and then appointed some locals as officials to accept the supervision of the Ministry of Supervision. After forming the most basic management system, it then  Several notices were issued to all citizens - the first is that all registered people can obtain their own land in Chad's underground cities, and then the government will mobilize them to go to their new cities by providing food, accommodation and a small salary.  "Home" is under construction. The second is that if there are those who meet the conditions for military recruitment, they can come to join the army on a voluntary basis. The salary is of course much better than working, and the Carmel government promises that all soldiers with service records will  They can all obtain permanent residence in Carmel after the war - of course, no one knows whether they will survive until that day.

    The "New Niger District" is an urban belt just established in this environment. Of course, calling it a "city" may be an exaggeration. In fact, there are only large blank caves and countless working old men and women - almost all strong young people.  There is no doubt that he chose to join the army. With the current military salary standards set by Carmel, after three to six months of training to become the most basic private soldier, the family can easily live a minimum modern life (  This standard may not seem high in other countries, but for Nigeriens, it is already quite ideal), and children are uniformly and forcibly arranged to receive compulsory education in underground cities with complete facilities and basically built facilities. Parents can freely  Although this approach goes against family ties and arouses resistance from many people, Li Litian, who has had experience in Chad, knows that it is necessary to make this country with a population of more than 15 million people as soon as possible.  This kind of large-scale segregation education is essential for the future of the next generation, and with Chad as a role model, coupled with the real improvement in the quality of life (free electricity, each household is given a  These two items, mobile phones, are already unimaginable to Nigerien), and the level of opposition to these measures is within an acceptable range.

    Among these working people, from time to time you can see soldiers wearing Carmel military uniforms, as well as engineers wearing yellow safety helmets and holding drawings - most ordinary workers' hats are blue, although everyone is nominally  They are citizens of the Consciousness Alliance, but the invisible class line is still there. On the construction sites where the Nigeriens are responsible, most of the work is still done by manpower, and these people have limited physical strength, so they naturally appear slow and orderly when working.  Many people took the time to smoke, chat, and work hard. On the other side, in front of the building facing the engineers, all the workers were like a group of hard-working worker bees, working very quickly. Ivan naturally knew the reason for the difference, because  Most of these buildings are for military purposes, and most of the workers are soldiers.

    In Carmel¡¯s military system, the propaganda of this war has never stopped, and the tone of all propaganda content is quite consistent - this will be a war that will subjugate the country and genocide, and this will be an extremely difficult war.  , this is also a game without retreat.?'s war, this kind of "slightly excessive" propaganda in the eyes of most people was not convincing at first. However, since the war entered a stalemate and gradually retreated, more and more people have begun to accept this view.  , and the nuclear bombs that exploded this morning were a severe wake-up call to everyone - when conditions are appropriate, fear is actually a positive emotion.

    The most difficult time is coming soon. Although Ivan's attainments in prophecy are not deep, he can smell some dangers. This is why he wants to come out for a walk today - yes, Ivan  Fan is also afraid. It is impossible not to be afraid. He has spent most of his life on the run. Without this fear, he would have disappeared like the dead mages with the attitude of "die together".  But unlike most people, as a mage, he never let this emotion swallow him up.

    As the supreme ruler of Carmel, he certainly knows that the weakest link in Carmel is where he is standing. This is the same as the biggest weakness of the coalition forces is on the ground - regardless of the human beings here.  How many cities have been built outside, whether they are orbiting cities, Martian cities, or even alien countries like Carmel, but according to the current level of science and technology, these cities are like flying kites, no matter how high they fly from the ground  No matter how high it is, there always needs to be a rope connected to the ground. Once this connection is completely severed, the kite will be blown away without a trace.

    However, compared with other countries, Carmel's shortcomings are still relatively long - mainly because of the terrain. In the area where Carmel's underground cities are densest, the Sahara Desert is the most hostile environment on the surface.  Lack of water, no grass growing, and sandstorms from time to time are all natural cover given by nature. Moreover, the terrain in this area is flat and there is no cover. On this land, people on earth can use any weapon without any scruples¡ª¡ª  Even the current maximum yield of nuclear bombs cannot penetrate thousands of meters deep and threaten the safety of underground cities. In other words, as long as underground cities can use anti-magic surveillance and magic troops to ensure internal security like orbiting space stations, it will  There is no need to worry about external threats - of course, this is also the hardest thing to guarantee.

    Ivan came alone this time. Because most of the people here were Nigeriens, no one recognized him for a while. This situation continued until he reached the commercial area in the center of the city where there are slightly more Carmelites.  When he stopped in front of the flagpole with the flags of Niger and Carmel, he was suddenly interrupted by someone from Carmel saluting him - because he had to return the salute and soon took charge of the city. Niger, who had just taken office a few days ago,  The mayor drove over in an electric car and warmly invited him to inspect the "temporary city government". Ivan did not refuse this time because he knew that staying would only cause more trouble.

    The so-called city government of the "mayor" is actually a temporary military tent. Not far away is the military garrison. Most of these armies have just been established. Maybe they just applied for an organization and brought people over. The software and hardware are still there.  It is not ready, but you can clearly hear the crisp sound of gunfire in large numbers - as an army, learning to use the weapons in your hands must be the first priority. In fact, it is not just the army. Sooner or later, Carmel will have to  Every resident here learns to shoot - I don't expect them to kill many people, I just hope they won't be unarmed. Judging from the current combat performance of the Imperial Army, firearms are still a threat to most of them. Maybe  In regular combat, they can rely on space boxes to escape, but as long as they want to truly occupy and control these areas, they will have to come out of the box sooner or later. By then, the existence of these civilian guns will make the enemy feel like a thorn in the back - in order to solve this problem,  The most likely measure the Emperor's people would take is to carry out indiscriminate massacres, and in this way, what Ivan has always been most worried about is that the people of the Earth may surrender in droves - although the Emperor's ruling methods are incompatible with the Earth's culture,  But under absolute violence, nothing is impossible. Ivan has seen too many planes fall like this. Perhaps in the eyes of the Carmelites, Ivan's approach is "hiding troops from the people."  ", only Ivan himself knew that his motive for doing this was extremely selfish - just to cause trouble for the enemy.

    In the end, Ivan didn¡¯t stay here much longer, but the time itself was already getting late. For locals in Chad, the morning had just begun, but to Ivan it seemed that it was already late at night. After returning to Carmel,  Ivan, who originally planned to sleep, was rarely sleepy at all, so he simply stopped sleeping and passed the time by processing some trivial documents. Until the next morning, Anna, who had just woken up, said to him in the consciousness network: "You  You guessed it right, they are here.¡±
