Chapter 414: An Unrelieved Victory
"陛xià! 陛xià! ”
"Hmm, there's a result?"
Not long ago, after the first wave of the Death Knight Legion's attack on the direction of humanity was stopped, Luo Zhengdao, who realized that his merits were complete, gave up his plan to continue watching the battle, and only left an instruction to his subordinates "Don't wake me up without bad news", and then turned around and went back to his luxurious cabin to rest. Now the attendant officer who came to report the news was full of smiles as soon as he opened the door, and it would be too painful to say that it was bad news, and Luo Zhengdao's calm inquiring tone was more like stating the facts.
"Yes, His Majesty. We won ......"
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao did not smile and said:
"At what cost?"
The squire's face twitched unconsciously, and he said:
“…… It's huge! ”
I had already guessed that in the face of the fierce cavalry legion of the death knight, it would not be easy for my side to win, so Luo Zhengdao didn't say much at the moment, and said:
"I'll change my clothes and tell the others to come ashore with me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Assembly line production is an advanced stage of industrial mass production, even if the 3D printing technology is touted as an artifact, in fact, it only solves the production problem of a single complex shape parts. Despite this, 3D printing technology does not have much advantage in mass production, and the assembly line does not mean that each worker is responsible for one process and is done. The biggest difference between the assembly line and the division of labor and cooperation models of previous eras, or the innovation, is that the conveyor belt with mechanical power can get the parts to the workers' reach, eliminating the time they have to go back and forth to find the right parts and move their feet, so that everyone's work efficiency is significantly improved.
Similar to the sweatshop of Fu Xkang, a simple action that is repeated for eight hours after taking up the post, it is very easy to lead to mental fatigue and depression, you might as well recall the old black and white movie "Modern Times" by the comedy master Chaplin, which satirizes how industrialization destroys human nature.
The brutal truth is obvious, industrialization is great news for a country or enterprise, not only increasing productivity, but also creating huge wealth. However, for those front-line workers, working on the assembly line is even more frustrating, and there is nothing to be happy about.
When the demand for war is overwhelming, and there is no industrial capacity, mass production of steam tanks can only be a dream, and it is not easy to build a war machine composed of more than 10,000 parts. Even from the perspective of the old world, the steam tank has a very rough mechanical structure, and it is a superweapon that can only be saved by a good craftsman in the New World for a lifetime.
Wandering between the mixed feelings of unleashing the devil of industrialization, Luo Zhengdao took a small boat to the mainland, and soon set foot on the beachhead occupied by his own side.
The once bloody sands have been cleared, and the makeshift trestle is used to dock the boats to transport large quantities of supplies ashore, and without good organization, there is no need to expect to be able to complete this arduous and arduous task.
Those undead creatures are not really undead, except for the ghosts that have no entity and are immune to physical attacks, other undead creatures will also be blown into scum in the roar of stone pine powder. The Death Knight's combat power is indeed strong, after all, it can't become a state of physical attack immunity, and under the intensive bombardment of guns of various calibers of the human army, the Death Knights, a total of nearly 6,000, collectively rushed into the streets.
At this time, stopping to scan the battlefield where the miserable white bones and corpses were intertwined, Luo Zhengdao was silent for a while with a complicated mood, and then he said in a low voice:
"What about the casualties of our army?"
"More than a thousand killed, mostly in the melee arms."
As soon as he heard this, Luo Zhengdao's brows furrowed into a pimple and said:
"Isn't the total number of casualties higher?"
The general, who had been elected by his colleagues to explain the damage to the king, quietly wiped the cold sweat from the nervousness of his palms on his trousers, and explained:
"I haven't counted it yet, but it's expected to be more than 3,000."
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao, whose face was covered with a layer of gloom, did not say a word, and then sighed and said:
"I hope those bastards remember to keep their word......"
"Doodoo Dot ......"
The devil's army blew its horn and officially announced the start of the general assault, and on the opposite side, the demon army scurried around like a swarm of headless flies, making it impossible to see that they were the superior side.
Picking up cheap and mending knives is the most pleasant thing, the arrogant demon army hit the head here in Luo Zhengdao, and the living force on the left flank of the confrontation front line was almost lost, and the demon army that was originally pushed flat on the front line formed a salient that did not exist. Anyone with a little military common sense knows that once the flank loses cover, it is easy to be surrounded and divided by a pincer offensive, and the old enemies of the demons will naturally not watch from the side, and the utilitarian devil stabbed a few times at the right time.
Under the belly and back of the enemy and the loss of the elite force sent by Aukus to supervise the battle, the unorganized and undisciplined demons immediately exposed the true nature of the rabble, the entire front immediately collapsed, facing a plate of scattered enemy troops, of course there was no hard battle to fight, cleaning up the battlefield and cleaning up the remnants of the enemy became the theme.
“…… The agreement to open a safe passage cannot be violated, do you want to break the contract? ”
After releasing the cruel words, he smashed his fist on the table, Luo Zhengdao had a stern expression on his face at the moment, and he said it strictly, and it was only a few millimeters away from the fierce light in his eyes, and it was normal to draw a knife and cut someone at any time.
Seeing this, he was not ready to die here today, and the devil's messenger was so frightened that he hurriedly explained, saying:
"Please don't worry, Your Majesty, we have prepared a corresponding plan that can fully meet your requirements."
In the process of this meeting between the two sides, Luo Zhengdao, who has been grudging for a long time, has never given the devil a good look, and it is reasonable that he was taken advantage of. Who in this world will never be taken advantage of! However, the corresponding benefits Luo Zhengdao didn't see a single star! It doesn't matter if you work for others, you can't give less money! Under such a bad cooperative relationship, we must take the initiative to smile at each other and maintain the so-called friendship and goodwill...... Luo Zhengdao, who was furious, said that he is not a professional politician, and my personal cultivation has not yet reached the highest level of invincibility of this kind of person.
With the determination to act in his true colors, Luo Zhengdao, who was already in an unhappy mood, performed a drama of "uncle's anger" and "flipping the table if you don't give money", until the devil's messenger was sent away, and then he called the military personnel of the General Staff to ask about other matters.
"Have you made contact with the Resistance in the interior?"
Walking into Luo Zhengdao's tent, after the young staff officer struck his breastplate with his fist and saluted, he turned around and called a stranger dressed in tatters, and said:
"See His Majesty the King. This Enrique Chevrolet was a representative of the Resistance. ”
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao stood up, looked up and down at the visitor, smiled and nodded, and said:
"Welcome, my friend."
Enrique was in his early thirties, and although he had a large physique, his body looked very thin, and it was obvious that he hadn't eaten enough for a long time. The envoy bowed to Luo Zhengdao, and then he spoke:
"Your Majesty, the King, knowing that you have restored our human country, everyone is so happy that they are dying, and everyone hopes to see you soon."
This has always been an area that Luo Zhengdao attaches great importance to the propaganda of public opinion on the main continent, and the plane that runs to the inland areas from time to time to drop leaflets is obviously a great risk, but it has also made King Will Needham famous. For a political figure, reputation is more important than anything else, so the most convenient and quick way to ruin a person's political career is to create a scandal.
The Resistance has been having a hard time lately, and the goblins are ready to leave for a large-scale migration overseas to rebuild a new home in the Sea of Stars, but before they can leave, they will have to deal with the problem of the hostile species. Will Needham, who has always hated goblins, will inevitably go to the goblins once he reunites with the human forces. In view of this, the Second Goblin Empire, under the help of the famous traitor Harvey Boyle, devised a poisonous plan to send an army to drive large numbers of human slaves into the barren inland mountains where the resistance was active, and then they were left behind.
The barren barren land and the steep mountain valleys can support a very limited number of people, and starving these humans to death is not their own discouragement, and it has nothing to do with the goblins who drove them to such a ghost place.
Weaken the overall strength of the human race and avoid the re-emergence of the human empire from threatening the second goblin empire, such a vicious trick was actually thought up by a human being, I have to say, traitors are a hundred times more murderous than the enemy! It is not yet known what the situation will be elsewhere, but the Resistance's duty to rescue his fellow human beings is an obligation that the Resistance cannot afford to sit idly by, as millions of humans have been driven to their territory. The question is where does the food come from? In many places, there is not enough grass bark to eat, and that terrible situation is only a little bit close to cannibalism, and now the resistance army is in urgent need of foreign help, and the liaison sent by Luo Zhengdao seems to have given the resistance the last ray of hope.
“…… Six million pounds of grain? Well, even if I can get this grain, how can you transport it inland thousands of miles away through the Goblin Control Zone? ”
After listening to the request of the resistance, Luo Zhengdao's face turned green, if he simply needed food, he could still get it by squeezing it as much as possible, the question was how to send it over. Enrique Chevrolet apparently thought about this issue and said impatiently:
"Space equipment! I brought space gear. ”
When Luo Zhengdao heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, sighed and said:
“…… How much can I hold? ”
"A million pounds."
The answer was as expected, Luo Zhengdao was not picky about anything, and said:
"What are you going to do with the rest?"
"Your Majesty, can you lend space equipment......
As soon as he heard this, the stunned Luo Zhengdao shook his head like a rattle and said:
"That's impossible, my financial resources are all used for the development of armaments, and the price of space equipment is not cheap, and I can't hold a million pounds of food when I take it out."
"Woo woo woo, what should I do then!"
Hearing the sound, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, as if all hope had been lost, this bald man who fell to the ground and cried bitterly was like a helpless child, and he looked as pitiful as he was.
