Theoretically speaking, the essence of civilization is the degree of trust and civilization, and the symbol is the degree of information exchange. 【Reading.com】

Of course, from the point of view of physics, matter is also information, that is, matter is the carrier of information.

In other words, the level of a small civilization. It is determined by the degree of information transmission and the degree of material circulation. This is also very directly reflected in human civilization, that is, the exhibition history of human civilization is the exhibition history of information transmission and material circulation. From the Stone Age to the Quantum Age. The degree of information transmitted by human appointments has increased by hundreds of millions of times, and the circulation of matter has increased by hundreds of millions of times compared to the long-term difficult to understand. If we compare the mechanized era represented by the steam engine and the internal combustion engine with the intelligent era represented by the neural network, computer and cloud communication network, the degree of information transmission and material circulation is the essence of human civilization.

It is not difficult to understand why the maritime civilizations represented by Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom have been able to rule the world for hundreds of years, and the United States is actually the inheritor of the Dutch and British civilizations. Relying on almost unparalleled geographical advantages, these two typical maritime civilizations have been stretched to the point of peak, and in essence, the United States is a combination of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, which has softened together and swelled dozens of times.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the navy has flourished for hundreds of years.

To put it simply, the key to the rise of the navy in the Chi era and control the living space of human irrigation in the next few centuries is that the ocean is the most convenient and efficient material transportation carrier, that is, the ocean bears the heavy responsibility of information transmission and material exchange, and the essence of the navy is to protect information transmission and material exchange. Of course, this also explains, after the advent of radio. Why can the scramble for radio space become a new military commanding height, and even become a key area that determines the outcome of a war?

In the Third World War, new bottles appeared for both information transmission and material circulation

In the field of information transmission, quantum communication devices have shown a huge enough influence and will definitely replace radio communication equipment as the new information transmission carrier. Because quantum communication is not limited by light, the communication frequency will not be limited, and there will be no mutual interference, so quantum communication is not limited by distance, and the communication bandwidth is almost unlimited, which can be said to be the most ideal communication carrier for human civilization. As you can imagine, this kind of new thing that many people don't understand. It is bound to revolutionize the lives of all people in the near future.

To put it mildly, the practical application of quantum technology will sublimate the entire human civilization.

Some older people should remember that at the beginning of the 2nd century, there were several science fiction movies that involved, or necessarily involved, quantum technology, such as "The Matrix" and "Future Warriors", as well as the first computer-made virtual movie "Avatar", which actually involved or must involve quantum technology, especially quantum communication technology. The reason is simple. These science fiction movies all mention "consciousness remote control", that is, allowing human consciousness to enter a certain virtual space, or enter some other way. The body, or remote control of some other equipment, not to mention other problems for the time being, only in terms of information transmission, the communication technology in the field of electromagnetic field can not meet the requirements, one is that electromagnetic communication is limited by light, and it is difficult to achieve synchronization. Second, the bandwidth of electromagnetic communication is very limited. It is impossible to transmit large-capacity information, and third, electromagnetic communication is extremely susceptible to interference, and it is difficult to achieve true and stable information transmission. Only by solving these three problems can quantum communication allow human consciousness to break free from the shackles of ** and enter a completely free space!

Of course. Before the practical application of quantum technology, these existed only in science fiction movies or science fiction. As the Republic's scientists make major breakthroughs in the field of quantum communication and build quantum communication devices with practical value, it is only a matter of time before these become a reality.

In fact, long before the first remote-controlled fighters and air-space bombers were put into real combat use, scientists of the republic were supported by the government. Carry out extended application research, and the first extended application research is still in the military field, that is, to create a kind of "remote control warrior" that can completely replace the military

What's more, shortly after the end of the Great War, the republic opened up quantum communication technology.

That is, the use of quantum communication technology in the non-military field is allowed.

At that time, the authorities of the Republic financed a project known as the "Rehabilitation of Disabled Servicemen". Entrust a scientific research institute jointly funded by the government and private enterprises to develop limb substitutes for disabled soldiers, so that millions of disabled soldiers can obtain independent labor ability, and the key technology is quantum communication, that is, through quantum communication technology to allow users to remotely control bionic prostheses.

It is undeniable that there is still room for better application of quantum communication technology.

If nothing else, if it can be fully promoted. Quantum communication technology can improve the communication and accommodation capacity of social information networks to an unimaginable level.

The problem is that for human civilization, before some very critical technological breakthroughs are made. Material circulation is more important than the transmission of letters.

To put it simply, in the case that there is no way to reverse the formula for the conversion of mass, that is, in the case that energy cannot be converted into mass. Material circulation is still the main factor in the activities of human civilization, and it can even be said that it is the main purpose of the activities of human civilization.

In this case, the means of transportation naturally became the main factor determining the degree of civilization.

Prior to this, the state was suspected to be the driving force for the exhibition of human civilization, although there was no essential change in the basic way of the sea of power, but in the past few hundred years, the transportation efficiency has undergone very big changes. For example, in the age of sails. It is almost unthinkable to transport tens of thousands of tons of materials to the other side of the ocean, but in the era of mechanization, it is not much more difficult, and in the century, it is even easier. This can be seen from the history of the exhibition of transport ships

generally

The problem is that there is always a limit to the efficiency of sea transportation.

Although the advancement of power technology has made the sailing degree of merchant ships from the first few knots to your knots. And after the cost of controlled fusion reactors is under control and can be commercialized on a large scale. It is also possible that the sailing degree of merchant ships will be increased to the festival of men. The problem is, the blade knot is almost the limit. Even with a better design, more power. With more advanced propulsion systems, it is also difficult to continue to improve the degree, and it is even more difficult to improve within a reasonable range. It can be said that unless there is a new technological revolution, the blade joint is the fastest degree of sea transportation, and it is also the ultimate efficiency of sea transportation.

With the existing technology, if you want to improve the efficiency of transportation, you can only find another way.

That's what air freight is all about.

The popularity of controlled fusion reactors, coupled with the practical application of magnetic induction propulsion systems, has made large-scale air freight, especially comparable to sea freight, feasible.

Imagine being able to transport tens of thousands of tons of supplies around the world by air. Is there still a need for sea freight?

The emergence of the air transport platform is a major embodiment of the revival of air transport.

Of course, during the war, the air transport platform only served the military, and it had not yet reached the level of serving the people. In fact, in recent years after the end of the war, the airlift platform was only for the military. There was no entry into the civilian market. The reason is very simple, after the defeat of the United States, the only republic that has mastered the technology of miniaturization of controllable fusion reactors and can commercialize them, out of their own safety and base decisions, the authorities of the republic have been hesitating on the issue of commercialization of controllable fusion reactors, until the middle of the century, as Europe has made a major breakthrough in related fields and is ready to put the first miniaturized controllable fusion reactor that can be used on an air platform into the market, the authorities of the republic changed the legislation to allow the commercialization of controllable fusion reactors. And support the exhibition of the air transport platform.

That is, by this time, the air transport platform officially replaced the ships at sea and became the main carrier of material circulation.

This is undoubtedly a huge step for human civilization.

Taking this step means that human civilization has freed itself from the shackles of the ground and the sea, and has taken an extremely important step on the road to the civilization of ground parts.

You know, just then, in the last years of the century, not only were all sea-going ships obsolete, driven by commercial interests. The air freight platform has become the only means of material circulation. Countries around the world have also built dozens of "cities in the sky", making tens of millions of people "citizens of the air"

Because the "cities in the sky" always fly in the atmosphere, they are not limited by national borders, and the inhabitants of these cities are the first "free people" who laid the foundation for the great integration of human civilization.

Like almost all new technologies that have changed the face of human civilization, the airlift platform has emerged as an accomplice of war in the beginning. During the year, the main responsibility of the airlift platform is to send thousands of ammunition supplies, especially those that are urgently needed by combat units, to the front line.

In April, the strategic strike was in full swing.

This time, it is still the Navy that sings the leading role, not the Celestial Army.

Although the High Command of the Republic allocated the larger central part of the United States to the Celestial Forces, including the Great Lakes region, for the purpose of deployment, in the allocation of strategic strike missions, the East Coast remained the core of the United States and the most populous area of the United States. More importantly, the vast central region of the United States will inevitably lead to a sharp reduction in the efficiency of strategic strikes, and the direct result is that the strategic strike actions of the space forces are far less vigorous than those of the navy, giving people a sense of obscurity.

In a sense, into April. The key to a strategic strike is no longer what the United States will become.

At that time, the biggest problem facing the republic came from the eastern side of the Atlantic, that is, the attitude of Europe towards this war.

After the news of armistice negotiations with the United States became public. Europe has been actively engaged in activities to put pressure on the republic. At that time, one of the most prominent things that Europe, represented by France, Germany and Italy, did was to win over Brazil

In any case, only Brazil, a country that wants to wield influence in the postwar Western Hemisphere, will speak for the United States.

In fact, this is just the beginning.

On 2 April, the day after the Republic announced the resumption of large-scale strategic strikes, the Franco-German Legion of Europe set foot on the island of Great Britain. The British government then announced its surrender.

Although according to the rules set by the intensive group, the British government could only surrender unconditionally, otherwise the countries of the European continent would not have the right to cross the alliance standards and conditionally accept the British surrender. For this reason, the British authorities did not offer conditions for surrender, but handed over power after the European Corps entered the city of London. Other words. De jure, Britain did surrender unconditionally to the Allies of the intensive bloc, and did not go against the interests of the bloc. But in fact, Hideguchi did not surrender on any red terms, and two days after Sojin handed over his power, that is, on April 4, the Eurocorps announced the establishment of a provisional government in the United Kingdom, and the provisional government minister was the British ambassador to the European Union. That is, after a change of hands, the Eurocorps returned the power taken by the victors to the British authorities, only with a few new faces.

Obviously, this move by Europe made the republic extremely disgusted.

The problem is that it is difficult for the Republic to even blame the tricks played by Europe, let alone take targeted actions.

Of course, for the chain reaction that the induction makes. The authorities of the Republic have considered it very comprehensively and have quickly adjusted their strategic deployment.

You know, Britain's announcement of surrender is definitely not just a matter for Britain alone.

Theoretically, the King of England is the owner of Canada, and the Governor appointed by the King is the Dollar of Canada. That is, the surrender of Britain will definitely have an impact on Canada.

This is the question that the authorities of the Republic should consider first.

If it is not possible to prevent Canada from announcing its surrender ahead of schedule. The authorities of the Republic had to find a way to prevent the Eurolegion from crossing the Atlantic and landing on the North American continent. In fact, as long as it can stop the pace of the European Corps' westward march, it can prevent Canada from surrendering early, after all, it will not do any good to Europe and Canada, and the American authorities will not tolerate the emergence of a Canada occupied by the Republic.

On April 4, the fleet of the Republican Navy, which had been operating in the waters off the Bahamas, urgently launched cobalt. Full sailing for the North Atlantic.

The next day, the Republican Marines raided Iceland with lightning speed, capturing the neutral nation!

Although Iceland is a member of the NATO bloc, the NATO bloc has ceased to exist in name only after Greece's withdrawal, and Iceland has not joined the WHG. So after the outbreak of the Great War, the Icelandic authorities quickly declared that they would never be there

In fact, Iceland is also a very weak country.

Even in the era of the introduction of the century, this island country has less than 10,000 people, although the tourism industry is very good, and has relatively rich natural resources, plus the fishing industry Iceland produces a lot of seafood in the international market are in demand, some high-end products are very popular in the Republic market, Iceland's per capita income ranks among the top ten in the world, is one of the richest countries in the world, but as a how. Projectile small country. The republic never saw Iceland as a threat, or even as a country.

There is no doubt that the occupation of Iceland towards the end of the war was certainly not a welcome affair.

Of course, this is just the beginning.

On 7 April, the main fleet of the Navy of the Republic reached the waters off the Yar Islands and, after shelling several American military bases, surrounded the island, which belonged to Portugal. Because Portugal is a member of the European Union, a country on the European continent, and has received security guarantees from France, Germany, Italy and other countries, the authorities of the Republic did not approve the combat operation to capture the Yar Islands, but only let the fleet blockade the island and prevent it from becoming a springboard for the European army to cross the Atlantic.

At this point, if the European Legion wanted to reach the North American continent on the other side of the Atlantic, it would first have to consult the Navy of the Republic.

The problem is that Europe is not a hostile state of the republic, and if Europe sends a fleet to cover the convoy to Canada, the authorities of the republic have no reason to stop, at least not intercept it. To put it bluntly, it is impossible for the Republic to build a great wall on the Atlantic, and it is impossible to block the Eurolegion on the east coast of the Atlantic. If you want to solve the problem, you have to land in Canada before the Eurocorps goes out!

It is not critical whether Canada will surrender or not, the key is that the Republican ** team has to reach Canada before the European Army.

This is very understandable, as long as the Republican ** regiment landed in Canada, if the Canadian authorities chose to surrender, they should also surrender to the ** team. And not to surrender to the armies of Europe.

Of course, what kind of ground war will be after the landing is a question that should be considered only after the landing. Fortunately, the authorities of the republic did not lack plans for landing operations, as well as troops to carry out landing combat missions.

Although the amphibious fleet deployed in the Atlantic Ocean was very limited at that time, and all of them operated in the waters of the Cape Verde Islands, transporting war refugees from more than a dozen West African countries to refugee camps located on the islands, the Republican Marine Corps had long since ceased to rely on the amphibious fleet to operate, and as long as there were enough vertical take-off and landing transport aircraft, plus the offshore platforms to support these transport aircraft, the Marine Corps could land on any coastline in the world. In terms of operational planning, the General Staff of the Republic and the Marine Corps Command had long since considered that they would land in the eastern part of North America, especially in the northeast, and attack New England with New York as the center, so they had long drawn up corresponding operational plans.

As the fleet moved north, the support forces needed for the landing operation were also deployed.

It can be said that the key to landing in Canada is not in the republican ** team, but in the supreme command of the republic.

At the command of the Supreme Command, the Republican Marines will be able to act.

By mid-April, the landing operation had become an arrow in the wind!
