I can upgrade the shelter-Chapter 715 - 613

Although there was indeed a belief that alien life forms should not only appear in the Flame Country or be limited to just one place like the Dongting Lake Region, Chen Xin and the country’s high officials did harbor the hope and idea that the alien life forms only appeared in this one location.

Because if alien life forms also invaded other parts of the Flame Country, then the country would fall into an extremely passive situation of fighting on two fronts.

Fortunately, within the Flame Country, there have been no traces of alien life forms found in other areas, and it seems they have only appeared in the Dongting Lake Region, which is now firmly blocked by the military’s defense line.

However, no one expected alien life forms to appear in the Mediterranean Region.

This is not the same as the Dongting Lake Region, where the Flame Country military is keeping a strict and thorough guard to block the alien life forms.

The entire Mediterranean Region is vast, with dozens of surrounding nations spanning three continents and connecting two oceans, something that even before the disaster could not have been completely surrounded.

Under such circumstances, the alien invasion could be said to be almost unrestricted. The European nations are somewhat better off, as they can at least struggle to resist, but the African countries on the other side have been completely overrun by the aliens, allowing them free rein on the African Continent.

Previously, although the Flame Country and European countries still had some contact, it was merely contact, with no information exchange or intelligence sharing.

After all, the distance was too great, and it was difficult for the Flame Country to receive signals from the European countries, making it challenging to maintain smooth communication.

If it weren’t for this storm that dispersed the dust cloud and the space department’s reconnection with communications satellites, greatly enhancing signal reception capabilities, the signals from the European countries and their plight under alien ravage might still be undetected.

Even Lucia found this surprising, as despite being closer to Europe, Lucia’s historical discord with European countries resulted in completely severed communications.

The fact that Lucia sought help from the Flame Country rather than from closer European countries is telling.

Thus, this time, the European countries did not seek help from Lucia either. In fact, they weren’t seeking help from the Flame Country, just neighboring nations, but the distress signal was inadvertently received by the Flame Country’s restored communications satellites.

However, neither the Flame Country nor Lucia could stand by and do nothing about this matter.

Though the European countries are far from both Lucia and the Flame Country, and they did not ask either for help, and relations between the two and the European nations were not particularly good, their ignorance would be of no issue.

Yet, the aliens would not give the Flame Country and Lucia any preferential treatment just because they failed to support the European nations.

On the contrary, once the aliens destroy the resistance of the European nations and completely overrun the European Continent, their next movements would undoubtedly be towards Lucia and the Flame Country.

At that point, Lucia and the Flame Country would face aliens that have fully conquered the African and European continents, and no matter how strong the Flame Country and Lucia’s powers might be, resisting the alien attacks would likely prove challenging.

Thus, aiding the European nations at this time, enabling them to continue holding out and keeping the aliens at bay in Europe, rather than allowing them to continue invading and spreading to the Flame Country, became an inevitable move.

The high officials of the Flame Country did not wish to make this decision, as there was already a battlefront at home, and just sustaining the war in the Dongting Lake Region required the collective effort of the whole nation. Now providing aid to Europe would indeed stretch the Flame Country thin.

However, if the aliens ultimately destroyed the European countries and occupied Europe, the consequences would be equally unbearable for the Flame Country.

Thus, after communication with Lucia, both countries decided to provide aid and military support to the European countries.

Yet, how to provide aid posed a challenge and a divisive issue.

For Lucia, they had only just begun to recover their strength domestically, and aiding the Flame Country was already due to the Flame Country’s prior assistance to them, based on a philosophy of mutual help and concern that if the Flame Country could not hold on, it would soon be Lucia’s turn to face the aliens. That’s why they sent troops to assist.

Even though Lucia was forming more reinforcements, this only meant troops were available.

According to Lucia’s original plan, these reinforcements would be dispatched to the Flame Country once organized and trained, with their equipment provided by the Flame Country.

After all, Lucia couldn’t produce the Flame Country’s set of equipment capable of combating the aliens.

As for the Flame Country, although they retained strong strength in terms of population, industrial production capacity, military, and technology, with a warfront to maintain domestically, most of their military forces had to be committed to the national battlefield rather than aiding Europe.

Thus, after numerous consultations, the two countries eventually decided to form a joint force to support Europe, albeit with limited manpower, primarily composed of Lucians, while the Flame Country would supply their equipment.

Once in Europe, their main task would not be combat but rather enabling the European countries to develop their own ability to counter the aliens as much as possible.

Considering the limited capabilities of the two countries, the military force they could send over couldn’t withstand the consumption of fighting the aliens.

To complete this mission, a reliable logistics support base was undoubtedly what the reinforcement troops needed most.

Fortunately, the military had previously proposed the idea of needing a larger Mobile Base, and Chen Xin had completed the planning and design of a land carrier and submitted it to the relevant departments for further detailed design.

Now, after a month, the plans have returned to Chen Xin.

However, because it was initially only considered for domestic use, the land carrier was not particularly fast, and its mobility was limited, only considered for use as a strategic stronghold to support the defense line.

Now that it’s to be used to support the European battlefield, after careful consideration, Chen Xin felt it was time for some real high-tech advancements.

After all, the Mobile Base is already slow, and if it moves too slowly, it won’t be very useful in supporting the European battlefield.

So after careful consideration, Chen Xin decided to equip this land carrier with flying capabilities.

This was something he had considered before when designing the Mobile Base, a consideration to enable the Mobile Base
