Chapter 0155: Cutting the Cake
How serious is the problem of taxation?
As long as it is not resolved, there is no hope for the Tang Empire to regain its vitality.
In ancient times, it was the annexation of land that triggered peasant uprisings.
In modern times, it is unequal taxation that causes social unrest.
In the final analysis, it is still two words:
Unjust.
It's not fair enough.
Not just enough.
Not public enough.
When this injustice extends to a certain extent, it will certainly trigger social dong luan.
Or, everybody pays taxes.
Or, no one pays taxes.
You come up with a tax-free class out of thin air, what's going on?
The so-called tax-free class, to put it bluntly, is actually a privileged class. It is specially tailored for the wealthy and powerful, high-ranking officials and nobles.
They own more than 90% of society's wealth, but they don't have to pay taxes.
Ordinary people, who own less than 10% of the social wealth, have to bear the full amount of taxes.
How can such a social system not produce dong luan?
To be honest, if it were Liu Zhenbei, he would have joined the rebels without hesitation.
Why should I pay taxes?
Why don't you have to pay taxes?
Paralyzed, kill you!
Every dong luan is a process of redistribution.
The winner gets the right to cut the cake.
But the loser will certainly not stop there, and will definitely make a comeback.
Now, this big cake of the Tang River Empire is about to be re-cut. The question is, who exactly will cut it? Is it your own people inside the Don Empire? Or an alien invader?
A lot of people want to cut this cake.
Including many powerful people within the Don River Empire.
It also includes many hero-level strongmen from other countries.
For example, the Emperor of the Simon Empire, Hulei Zhan Ao, very much wanted to be able to hold this knife for cutting cakes.
Now, what Aguero is desperately trying to grab is this knife that cuts the cake.
There are also many people who want to snatch the knife as well.
Only he, Liu Zhenbei, is not qualified for the time being.
Unless, it is he who can control the entire Tang River control area, he is qualified to take a look.
Only by controlling the Mantis Star Domain can it be regarded as barely qualified to snatch. But in the end, it's hard to say whether you can grab it. After all, in the vast starry sky world, the strong are like forests, and the masters are like clouds!
"Liu Zhenbei, remember what day today!"
"Today is April 25, 1122 A.D.! Today next year is your death day! ”
"Everyone! Offensive! ”
"Everyone! Offensive! ”
Finally, Aguero shut up. He gave the order to attack with all his troops.
Simon's mech forces sped up suddenly.
Tides of pagan mechs poured up in droves.
Aguero's promise reward was indeed a great stimulus to the ordinary officers and soldiers of the Simon people. They all rushed up desperately.
10,000 square kilometers of tax-free land!
Rewards of 10 Billion Star Coins!
Enough for the vast majority of people to get dizzy!
In the face of the tide attack of Simon's mecha, the best means of counterattack is, of course, dense large-caliber artillery fire.
However, Liu Zhenbei's heavy artillery mecha is still hiding in the dungeon.
The Red Devil Tiger is inside. The Earthwalker is also on the ground. Can't get out in a short time.
Moreover, Liu Zhenbei was not ready to transfer Dixinglong out. They need to deal with Simon's pangolins inside the dungeon.
This kind of earth-walking dragon mecha is actually quite effective when used in a narrow cave. Although sometimes you can hurt yourself by mistake.
The main thing is that the power of the 460 mm energy column is very terrifying.
Inside the cave, the area is very wide. It can be said to be a first-class weapon for cleaning up the battlefield.
So far, there are only a few dozen Earth-Walking Dragon Mechas, which have perfectly cleared the dungeon of Ratchet City into a safe area with a radius of about five kilometers. All the Simon mechs in the area were blown to pieces. They continue to expand outward. The seventeen-meter-long energy pillar is a big piece when it explodes! Rao is Simon's pangolin, no matter how many pangolins there are, they can't withstand such a continuous Bao zha.
The most terrifying time, in a very large cave, hundreds of Simon mecha were blown into slag by the continuous emission of energy columns. After repeated bombardments, there was no longer any mecha wreckage visible on the ground, the largest fragments, and the size of fingernails. As a result, the Simon mecha in the other caves involuntarily retreated.
However, Simon's mecha team is too dense. The back is densely packed with mechas, and it is impossible to retreat at all. Therefore, facing the 460 mm energy pillar of the Earth Walking Dragon, there is only a tragedy. One energy column, ten energy columns, one hundred energy columns...... The Earth Walking Dragon Mecha happily interprets what is called fire coverage!
The vault of the Baili family has also been classified as a safe area.
If the Earth Dragon Mecha is removed, then the Simons will make a comeback.
What to do?
What to do?
"Let's take off!"
Liu Zhenbei said in a deep voice.
The Thundercloud Storm took off slowly. It is about three hundred meters above the ground.
The two 406 mm guns in the front and rear are charged!
Launch!
"Whew!"
"Boom!"
The distance is very close, almost a direct sight.
The wave of pagan mechs that rushed to the front was instantly blown to pieces.
"Whew!"
"Boom!"
The 406-mm gun was fired continuously.
The crimson energy bombs continued to fall, bursting out with strings of firelight.
The Fortress Gunboat has removed the interval between the firing of the main guns. At its fastest, it can be fired more than 30 times a second. It can be said to be very violent.
This means that a 406 mm heavy gun can also fire at the same level as the trap.
That's a big deal.
Thirty rounds a second.
That's 1,800 rounds in one minute!
In just one minute, 1,800 rounds of heavy artillery energy shells fell!
In an instant, the front line of Simon's mecha turned into a sea of fire. No matter what type of mecha it is, in the face of such terrifying firepower, it can only be completely shattered.
"Snort!"
"Snort!"
All 203mm particle cannons are also crazy shooting.
Their rate of fire is much faster than that of a 406mm particle cannon. The ultimate rate of fire for one second, even up to three gray hairs!
In other words, in one minute, 18,000 rounds of particle bullets can be poured!
18,000 rounds of pellet bullets! The power of each Bao zha is equivalent to more than ten tons of high-energy TNZHA Yao!
What kind of mecha can withstand it?
Even Liu Zhenbei himself couldn't bear it.
The energy is consumed too quickly.
Not available.
To do this, he had to limit the rate of fire of the particle cannon.
The 406mm particle cannon is limited to three times a second.
The 203mm particle cannon is limited to thirty times a second.
All were cut to one-tenth of the ultimate rate of fire. However, it feels like the energy supply is still insufficient.
There are just too many places where energy is needed. Earthwalking Dragon, Red Devil Tiger, Eight-armed Demon Ape, Hurricane...... All require a lot of energy to burst out with enough power. Otherwise, it's just decoration.
I had no choice but to lower the energy shield of the thundercloud storm again. From the original level eight, it was reduced to level seven. Finally, a lot of energy was saved and the need for the particle cannon was met.
Alas, the energy is still insufficient!
It would be nice when the energy could be doubled. 166 Reading Network
