Takumi didn't expect Ningguang to answer like that.
A one-pot wipeout?
For a moment, Takumi didn't know what to say.
After muttering in his heart for a while, Takumi said:
"It's not about wiping out everything in one pot."
"It's about accurately deploying troops directly into the opponent's territory."
"You understand what that means, right?"
Takumi rolled his eyes.
Good grief.
Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending?
Ningguang was stunned for a moment, but soon understood.
"I see."
"If the enemy's strong combatants don't intervene, this is indeed a good idea."
"Only…"
She looked at Takumi strangely.
Why was he thinking about war?
"You want to go to war with Snezhnaya?"
"Do you want to unify the six nations?"
Ningguang looked genuinely surprised.
Was Takumi thinking that far?
Hearing this, Takumi couldn't help laughing.
"What are you thinking?"
"How could I do something like that?"
"I'm not a warmonger."
"It's just a hypothesis."
"After all, you know the situation in Snezhnaya. They've been developing all sorts of war machines."
"Maybe in the future they might actually try something."
"As for us, forget it."
"We're peace-loving people, aren't we?"
"If they try anything, we'll need weapons to fight back."
At that time, their invasion might become the final defensive battle.
Right now, Liyue no longer needs to fear anyone.
All the adepti have returned.
The erosion on Rex Lapis and Azhdaha has been resolved.
If a real war starts, Liyue can crush them easily.
Even if those fools claim to have divine power—
Divine power?
To Takumi, that so-called divine power is nothing remarkable.
Even if someone truly possessed the strength of a god, it would still be nothing special to him.
Unless their power was near Zhongli's level.
Only then would Takumi take notice.
Otherwise, the so-called "gods" were just bigger grasshoppers in his eyes.
They couldn't jump that high.
Takumi had always believed that Liyue's military power should not be used lightly—
But it must exist.
And it must stay strong.
Spending a bit more wasn't a problem.
Liyue had plenty of money now.
And even if they didn't, Takumi could simply visit the Golden House.
Speed up Mora production if needed.
Mora was an alchemical material—there was no reason for it to depreciate.
Unless the world had so much Mora that no one could spend it fast enough.
That was impossible.
Especially now that all nations were developing technology.
Mora had become a universal resource.
It was even becoming more valuable.
Exchanging more goods for more Mora—
That was the trend.
Ningguang listened quietly to Takumi's thoughts, not interrupting.
If he wanted an Air Force, then they'd build one.
And Wind Wings?
Those could be imported.
They were feasible to obtain.
If soldiers were dropped from a large transport ship,
Then glided down using Wind Wings to secure high ground—
Add sniper rifles—
A strange gleam flashed in her eyes.
Even she, who wasn't a strategist, could tell how powerful that would be.
Having decided, she said calmly:
"I'll contact Jean and order the Wind Wings immediately."
Ningguang spoke very seriously.
Takumi nodded.
"Good!"
"Make the order."
"At minimum, every Qianyan Army soldier should have one."
"Also, arrange training for them."
"Isn't Mondstadt's flying champion currently in Liyue?"
"Let's hire her as an instructor."
As he said that, the corner of Takumi's mouth lifted.
Mondstadt's flying champion was in Liyue—and even Sumeru's champion as well.
It would be perfect to have them train the soldiers.
Hearing this, Ningguang paused, then nodded.
She knew exactly who he meant.
Amber.
Perfect.
Have her teach the Qianyan Army how to use the Wind Wings.
Train a few, then let those trained become instructors.
After making her decision, Ningguang took out her phone and contacted Acting Grand Master Jean.
Jean was startled by the sudden request.
Why did Liyue need so many Wind Wings out of nowhere?
She asked Ningguang directly.
Ningguang didn't hide anything.
She explained that they were equipping the Qianyan Army.
There was no need to conceal it.
Besides, she needed Jean's help asking Amber to come and instruct the troops.
Once Jean understood, everything made sense.
Liyue's army was different from Mondstadt's knights.
Most knights already had Wind Wings.
Liyue's Qianyan Army did not.
They rarely needed them.
Now Ningguang wanted to equip the entire army?
It was surprising—
But Jean didn't question it further.
She agreed.
However, producing that many Wings at once wasn't possible.
They needed time.
Ningguang didn't mind.
Deliver them slowly.
Even sending an advance batch was fine.
After discussing, Jean agreed.
Within three days, she would send the first shipment.
The rest would follow once newly made.
After finishing the arrangements, Ningguang sent the payment immediately.
Then she told Takumi:
"I've spoken to Jean."
"She'll send the first batch shortly."
"As for Amber, Jean will inform her."
"She'll come here to discuss the details."
Takumi nodded.
If Ningguang handled it, he could relax.
After that, Takumi didn't bother thinking about it anymore.
Even when Jean sent the first shipment of Wind Wings, he didn't dwell on it.
Because Takumi had already gone to Qingce Village.
This time, he brought the little turtle with him.
She was free today, so he brought her along.
After hearing that Takumi was going to build a winery, Kamisato Ayaka became curious.
Some people in Inazuma liked strong liquor.
Baijiu was powerful.
Now that Takumi wanted to develop Liyue's winemaking industry—
Of course Ayaka was curious.
So after hearing the news, she followed him without hesitation.
The two soon arrived in Qingcezhuang.
At this time, the grain harvest was still ongoing.
Some grain merchants from Liyue had also arrived.
