Chapter 431 Su Cheng Appears on Alyssa’s Bed (Middle)
Britannia Empire, Northern Territory, Avalon Fortress, Grain Warehouse No. 1.
Just like when he inspected the weapons warehouse and sundries warehouse just now, Raymond walked at the front, leading the way for Su Cheng and explaining to Su Cheng at the same time.
"There are a total of 20 grain warehouses in the fortress, and each warehouse is filled with grain. Unlike the weapons warehouses with many iron tools, grain warehouses are most afraid of fire, so each grain warehouse is equipped with very complete fire prevention measures. At the same time, on weekdays There are also various measures to prevent rats and insects..."
Su Cheng, who listened carefully to Raymond's explanation, nodded from time to time and moved his eyes around the warehouse.
They are currently located in the No. 1 grain warehouse of the fortress.
Grain No. 1 mainly stores rice.
A sack full of rice, neatly stacked, filled the entire warehouse.
Just like when he inspected the weapons warehouse just now, Su Cheng casually took out a few bags of rice and asked Raymond to carry them to him so that he could check whether they were adulterated with fake goods.
Every rice bag randomly picked out by Su Cheng was well filled with rice. And to Su Cheng's great surprise, although the rice in the rice bags was not very fresh, it was not considered fresh either. What Chen Mi.
——From the material reserves of the fortress, we can see how much importance Avalon Fortress occupies in the heart of the Central Government...
After Su Cheng silently lamented the central government's kindness to Avalon Fortress, Su Cheng turned his head and said to Raymond:
"There is nothing wrong with the No. 1 Grain Warehouse. The inspection of the No. 1 Grain Warehouse ends here. Let's go to the No. 2 Grain Warehouse."
"Grain Warehouse No. 2?" Raymond raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Captain, do you want to inspect the grain warehouse one by one like you did when you inspected the weapons warehouse just now?"
"Of course." Su Cheng said angrily, "The baggage is the top priority of the army. No matter how troublesome it is, I have to see the baggage reserves with my own eyes."
Having said this, Su Cheng paused for a moment, then changed to a half-joking tone and said to Raymond:
"Leymon, are you tired? If you are, you can go and take a rest first. I believe other military commanders can do your job for you."
Su Cheng's words directly made Raymond "explode".
"Captain, what are you talking about?! It doesn't hurt me at this level! Since the commander is so determined, I am naturally bound to do it!"
No one wants to show weakness in front of the person they admire, including Raymond. What's more, just as Raymond said, he has experienced hundreds of battles, and this level is really not painful for him.
After saying that, Raymond turned around and led Su Cheng and others towards other grain warehouses.
Willy, Deng Jiaer, Alyssa, and the other knights who were following Su Cheng also continued to follow Su Cheng.
Except for someone.
Samuel, commander of the 2nd Army, was the only one who stayed in place after everyone left.
With his half-opened eyes and eyelids slightly raised, he cast a meaningful gaze towards Su Cheng, who was already somewhat far away.
"Huh? Samuel, what's wrong?"
Dale, the commander of the 4th Army who was walking at the back of the crowd, found Samuel who was still staying where he was.
"Why are you standing still? Ah, are you planning to sneak away and go back to sleep?"
"Who do you think I am? Although I like to be lazy, I am also a person who understands priorities. How could I do such a rude thing as sneaking back to sleep while the new regiment leader is checking the baggage reserves? matter?"
"Then what are you doing? You look so worried. It's really rare to see you. Normally you always look like you haven't had enough sleep."
Although Dale said some very rude words to him, Samuel seemed to be used to it and did not make any response to Dale's rude words. Instead, he said in a deep voice:
"I just think of our old leader."
"..." Dale frowned, "Why do you think of that guy? Do you think of that guy for no reason?"
"...It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of him."
After saying that, Samuel stopped talking to Del and took off his feet, quickly catching up with the team that had already gone some distance.
…
The food reserves of Avalon Fortress, like its weapon reserves, can be described as perfect.
The 20 large warehouses are filled with grain, and each grain warehouse has measures such as rodent prevention and fire prevention.
These 20 grain warehouses are not only filled with grain, but also have a very rich variety of grain.
In addition to rice, which is the staple food, the warehouse also stores other foods, such as dried meat, sausages, vegetables, and black tea, which is most indispensable for the army of the Britannia Empire.
The No. 7 Grain Warehouse in the fortress is a warehouse specially used to store black tea.
There was a whole warehouse filled with black tea.
Other countries have always been very puzzled by the black tea in the Britannia Empire's fleet. They can't figure out why the Britannia Empire wastes such precious transportation capacity to specially transport black tea. There is no time and time to transport black tea. Ability, wouldn't it be good to transport more food and grass?
People who have this kind of doubt are usually people who don't know the Britannia Emperor ** team.
For the army of the Britannia Empire, black tea had a completely different meaning from rice and dried meat.
Although black tea cannot fill the stomach like rice, it can fill the spirit of Britannia people.
In short, black tea is a powerful weapon to improve the morale of the Britannia army.
Su Cheng was very satisfied with the fortress's food reserves.
In addition to the army, Avalon Fortress now has nearly 500,000 residents.
The 20 grain warehouses in the fortress are completely enough to support the entire city's residents plus 100,000 troops for more than 2 years.
So there is no need to worry that the enemy will use military and food wars to deal with the fortress.
What's more, it is impossible for the enemy to use military and food wars to deal with the fortress.
The northern wall of Avalon Fortress directly divides the Eghar Corridor into northern and southern halves.
The prerequisite for using supply warfare against cities and fortresses is to cut off the supply lines of cities and fortresses, and then slowly exhaust the supply reserves of cities and fortresses.
If the Hiran Army in the north intends to cut off the Avalon Fortress, it must break through the northern wall that divides the Eghar Corridor into two halves, so that it can surround the Avalon Fortress and cut off the fortress's supply line.
However, this raises a question: If the Xilan army really has the ability to break through the northern city wall, then why are they fighting a war for supplies with the fortress?
…
There are a total of 20 grain warehouses. After checking each one, it was already dark.
But there is still a short time before dinner.
For Su Cheng, who was very pressed for time now, he didn't want to waste a single minute.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little time before dinner, Su Cheng led everyone to inspect the urban area of Avalon Fortress without stopping.
Avalon is both a fortress and a metropolis with 500,000 civilians.
The residents in the fortress are mainly military relatives and civilians who immigrated from the center of the empire.
All facilities in the fortress are also very complete, from hospitals, shops, restaurants to various entertainment venues.
While touring the urban area of the fortress, Su Cheng also saw special entertainment venues that provided special services and where pure men went to meet and have sex.
Walking on a certain avenue in the city, looking at the streets around him that were still full of vitality even though it was dark now, Su Cheng couldn't help but said with some joy:
"It's such a perfect fortress. With this fortress here, how can the Xilan people defeat us?"
Although Su Cheng's words sounded a little conceited, this fortress gave Su Cheng the confidence to be conceited.
Plenty of supplies, an urban area so vibrant that the garrison could relax, and a northern wall with a twin-wall design that embodies all the architectural wisdom of the era.
Su Cheng could not imagine any way to break such a fortress.
However, just after Su Cheng finished these somewhat conceited words, a faint voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Captain, I apologize for being rude. I advise you not to be too confident."
Hearing this faint voice, Su Cheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he turned his head and looked behind him.
The owner of this voice was none other than the commander of the 2nd Army, Samuel, who had always looked listless.
Samuel's eyes that lacked vitality were casting a sharp gaze towards Su Cheng.
"Being too confident in the defense power of the fortress and becoming lax and careless can be quite fatal."

Information currently available for release:
The document sent to Su Cheng by the central government with basic information on each military commander was produced when the "Xia Feng" offensive was in full swing. At that time, the central government had decided to conduct a pilot project with the Michael Knights to try How about setting up a fixed commander and deputy commander, and choosing which four people will be the commanders of the 4th Army of the Knights of Michael.
At that time, Raymond already admired Su Cheng who achieved a shocking comeback in the rescue battle of Lunde Kingdom, and kept clamoring to learn from Su Cheng. Therefore, in the information sent to Su Cheng, the sentence "very respectful to Su Cheng" was written in Raymond's column.
Su Cheng didn't pay much attention to this sentence at first. He thought that Raymond would just respect him like Willy, but he didn't expect that Raymond would worship him like a "fanboy"... ....
After learning that Su Cheng was very active in the "Xia Feng" offensive, Raymond admired Su Cheng even more... Facing Raymond's enthusiasm for him, Su Cheng was a little distressed.
However, troubled as it was, Su Cheng didn't hate Raymond. After all, Raymond could only be regarded as a somewhat fanatical fan, not an illegitimate fan.
