235 The Plan (1/2)
”You might have heard about the war that almost wiped out the island of Bali three months ago,” Devita began to speak.
The event that Devita was talking about was the incident on the third night of the war. A very shocking event where Alex and his elite troops were almost slaughtered by a monster attack that was too much for them to handle. President Rico had heard reports about it, but he didn't know how the incident exactly happened.
Rama, who participated in that battle, explained to them what happened back then. A monster much stronger than the black zombies, an old man who easily killed that monster, and a skill that could turn back time. All the information he revealed was shocking and hard to believe in the three guests' eyes. But no matter how unbelievable it sounded to them, it truly happened three months ago.
Devita continued next, ”Since then, Alex has been preparing a more aggressive plan... It isn't enough for only Indonesia to become stronger”
”A more aggressive plan… What kind of plan?” asked the president, looking serious as he paid attention.
”According to Alex, for the next 300 days, we will focus on the displacement of residents and urban development,” Devita said.
”Yes, of course we will,” the regent agreed with Alex's plan.
”That is indeed the case, Regent Suryo, but Alex hopes that everyone will focus on producing magic raisins and Tier 1 hardened weapons on a large scale.”
”How big?” asked the sultan. This was something that they absolutely had to know. After all, this concerned not only themselves but also the entirety of Indonesia and its population.
”A production of twenty million Tier 1 hardened weapons in 300 days and fifty million magic raisins production per day,” Devita simply told them.
”....” That was in no way a small number. Even calling it a huge amount would still be an understatement.
”Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in calculating the amount?” the regent asked Devita to confirm. There was no way that they were supposed to really do that, right?
The sultan immediately did a quick calculation in his head according to the data that Devita gave them earlier, ”For the production of fifty million magic raisins per day, we would need five million workers. Currently, the total population of the five cities combined is only around four million people. Even if we were to do our best in gathering the scattered Indonesian population, the total still wouldn't reach ten million people.”
”As for twenty million hardened weapons in 300 days, we would need fifty thousand skilled workers as well as a fantastic spirit stone capital of at least sixty million spirit stones.”
”...”
”What in the world is Alex planning? That amount might even be enough to arm and feed half of all the earth's remaining inhabitants!”
”!!!... Is that what Alex is actually intending to do?”
Devita took out what seemed to be a letter and opened it. It was the letter that Alex left.
”Everything we've prepared is not even nearly enough! The food project of the spirit fruits and the production of this new weapon must be successful. After that, the focus will be on their mass-scale production. If we want this Earth to avoid its apocalypse, then all of us on Earth must unite. There is no other way,” Devita read the content of the letter Alex left her loud and clear.
Alex predicted that in the next 300 days, there would only be around a hundred million people on earth who would still survive. If mankind still isn't prepared by the time the pillar countdown ends, Alex estimated that only a third of the entirety of the human race would be able to survive.
The magic raisins would be able to dispel their food worries and encourage residents to focus on battle preparations. Meanwhile, these weapons would not only increase their fighting power, but with the existence of these less-costly weapons, they would be able to use their spirit stones to focus on developing the skills of the human race, especially the spirit enhancers.
Cahya continued for her, ”Actually, this plan is quite simple. It's just that its implementation won't be easy and, of course, will require everyone's help. We'll do the mass production and export these two products to all of our neighboring countries. To Asia, Europe, and even America.”
The atmosphere was serious, and they were listening attentively.
”We've begun doing this with the Philippines. Through selling the magic raisins, we've amassed enough spirit stones to increase the batch of the weapon production.”
”Hahahaha…!” Regent Suryo began to laugh in an unrestrained manner yet again. ”I like it! Since ancient times, wars have always been determined by not only the number of troops at the front lines, but also by adequate financial support. In this case, it would be the spirit stones.”
”All right. I fully support this. I'll make sure that the city of Yogyakarta will focus on mass production when I return,” exclaimed the sultan.
President Rico voiced, ”For this to work, we would need a large number of ships. I'll focus on the ship production. I think small ships that can cross the ocean will be enough.”
