464 Disappearing City Walls
"Extra! Extra! Demons are slaughtering in the southern region! 300,000 refugees left homeless! Extra! Extra! "At the intersection of a slightly old street, a newsboy waved a newspaper in his hand and frantically sold it.
Every now and then a pedestrian passed by him, threw him a coin, and then pulled a newspaper from the satchel on his chest, and walked forward, looking down at its contents.
The headline is still very strong, although many people have seen the morning news, but reading the newspaper is still a pastime, and there are still people who buy it, and there are still people who are willing to get some current political news from this relatively "old" way.
Although newspapers have only been invented for a few years, they are still beginning to be obsolete. Today's newspapers have been overshadowed by television news and the emerging Internet as a specific hobby for a specific group of people.
Seeing that his voice was better, the newsboy also worked harder to sell the newspaper in his hand: "Take people as food!" The Bameihir region is overrun by demons! Be extremely tragic! Come and buy it! ”
His shouts gathered more curious people, although television sets are now beginning to become popular, there are still many civilians in this neighborhood, and there are not many people who can spare money to buy a television.
On the newspaper, on a photo from the front line of the battlefield, in the midst of the ruins, several fleeing civilians were extremely nervous, and their eyes were full of fear and despair when they looked at the camera.
The title is shocking in huge bold letters, and the subtitle is also hairy to look at - demons feed on humans in the southern region, and the Bameishir region is bleeding.
Bathed in the sunshine of peace, people who had hardly heard of any terrible war in the past five years gathered in twos and threes, shaking their heads and sighing at the newspapers.
Although they are still not wealthy, they have solved their own food and clothing compared to their previous lives, and even have spare money to buy clothes.
These civilians no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat, and they no longer have to worry about not having enough clothes. Although they can only live in small apartments, their lives have improved so much for them.
So they are now familiar with the distant horror terms, and they also cherish the beauty of the present—and through their personal comparisons, they are convinced that they live in a great empire worthy of allegiance.
"Oh my God, they're eating people, and they have to be wiped out......," said a civilian, looking at the newspaper.
The other civilian nodded his head in agreement, agreeing with his neighbor's opinion: "Isn't it, it's scary to think about it...... What an anomaly, this is clearly the devil! They all have to be burned! ”
A car passed by the main road, and the morning news was playing on the radio in the car - these terrible things were told word by word by the announcer, which made the people in the car very nervous.
Now that everyone is so rich and rich, don't come to a group of terrible man-eating monsters and ruin everyone's life, then it's really over.
No one wants to lose their current life, so everyone is very sensitive to the topic of this "monster invasion".
In the car, the young rich man sitting in the back seat sighed, asked the driver to help turn off the radio, and looked out the window with some concern.
Now the empire can be said to be really very powerful, but many things are still not so reassuring.
For example, the city has grown in size, ten times larger than it used to be, and the city of Seris has even grown large enough to cover almost the entire territory of Seris.
And these expanding cities did not build any fortifications at all, and even the original fortifications were demolished because of the shortage of land.
In the case of Seris, the original anti-aircraft gun positions, city walls, and searchlights are now luxury residential areas within the ring where every inch of land is valuable.
These places have long since lost those cold reinforced concrete towers, towering artillery, and heavy walls.
Instead, there are wide streets, beautiful greenery, and towering buildings that can't fight war, and seem defenseless.
The only thing that seems to be comforting is that the underground bunkers in these cities are well-built, with underground blocks, bustling subways and underground shopping malls. Most of them can be used as bomb shelters, and they also serve as some reserve materials.
It's nerve-wracking that if the demons break through the borders and defeat the field forces that are fighting in far-flung foreign lands, then these big cities are almost defenseless, at least as they seem......
There were no walls, no trenches, and everything that restricted the city's development seemed to have been demolished.
There were very few troops stationed on the edge of the city, and most of the time you couldn't even see these soldiers who were only trained in seclusion.
Except for the air force that can occasionally be seen coming out for training, and the huge floating transport ships that are not moving very quickly, ordinary people do not even feel the existence of war.
Many soldiers can even go back to their homes, spend a few months of vacation with their loved ones, and then return to the front lines to fight – how can this be called a state of war?
"Look at this group of people...... If demons invade Iran Hill, they will all be eaten...... Our business will be ruined, and this place will become a living hell. The young rich man thought a lot, and suddenly said to himself.
He may have been talking to his driver, but the driver was concentrating on driving, and after a while, he considered his tone and replied, "As long as you are safe, young master." We can leave Dosenal and go to Seris. ”
According to his driver, Dosennar is already a great city that has grown tenfold in the last two years, with paved roads full of high-rise buildings and pedestrians on the streets, a world of difference from what it used to be.
Since the capture of this place by Iran Hill, war seems to have been a distant term. No one believed that the enemy would come here, because the closest enemy had already been beaten to the Frannor River Valley.
"You don't understand...... You don't understand...... "The young rich man still has the vision, he thinks that once the troops on the border of Irlanhill are annihilated by the enemy, then the other party will drive straight in, and none of these cities behind will be safe and safe.
However, he still didn't say this, because the other party was just his driver, just a subordinate who was not on the same level as him.
It seems that it is necessary to shift the business from the south to the north. At least you can buy a double insurance, and if something goes wrong, you can also protect half of your net worth......
But this land of the north...... The price is really inflated. Workers heard that it is also expensive, and the shareholders may not be willing to move their own industries to the north part of the country.
"Alas......" Thinking of this, he sighed and shook his head slightly. In his opinion, it was just a bunch of fools who only cared about their immediate interests.
He thought about it as the car drove into his business door. Outside the gate, there is still an endless stream of people going to work, and this place is still a paradise, no matter how far away it has become hell.
Outside of his sight, the dwarven Ironforge was building its 15th floating transport, and even more similar floating transports, all under construction.
At the same time, in Seris, the second floating battleship has already begun to enter service tests, and far away in the arsenal of the earthen fort, the third floating battleship has also been built...... Soon these warships will be put into service, forming the originally envisaged Sky Fleet of Iran Hill.
Compared with the troops deployed on the periphery, the combat effectiveness of the core area of Irlanhill is actually not weak at all, but it is hidden under the favorable economic recovery, and it is not so easy to be discovered.
If nothing else, just look at the more and more super god puppets that have begun to become less valuable, and those nuclear weapons buried deep in the ground, terrifying and increasing in number, you can see that Iran Hill has not actually relaxed his army construction at all.
Not only has it not relaxed, but it has actually been greatly strengthened. In countless laboratories, Iran Hill's weapons of mass destruction have been developed one after another, many of which are very targeted and terrifying.
For example, Ellen Hill is working on a genetic weapon against demons, which, once developed, could be used to destroy countless demonic forces using a wide range of infectious diseases.
This weapon has been tested on the demon dog for a long time, but it has not yet been fully developed.
Another example is the mountain that is preparing to be launched...... If compared, it is comparable to the existence of hundreds, if not thousands, of nuclear weapons.
Once that thing is successfully delivered, perhaps the demons in one direction will be completely destroyed, and there will not be even ashes left......
Alan Hill has only reduced conventional forces, and none of the truly sophisticated weapons development programs have slowed down the pace of development.
From individual equipment to heavy weapons and even new fighter jets, Iran Hill is constantly stockpiling technology.
There are even laboratories that are studying the improvement of human genes - this direction seems to be a bit advanced, but because of the existence of magicians, human genetic enhancement is believed by many people, and a lot of energy has been invested in research.
In short, Iran Hill is far from being reduced to the point of being a foreign power, on the contrary, it is gathering more strength, ready to give all allies and all enemies a big "surprise" in the next outbreak.
