Chapter 314: The Loyalty of the Transcendental

Meng Chao glanced at the wall clock hanging above Gao Ye's head.

Time is on his side.

He said: "I don't understand more and more, what do you say about these things about Chen Sesame and rotten grains have anything to do with the future of Dragon City?" ”

"History is like a mirror that can reflect our future."

The flame in Gao Ye's eyes became brighter and brighter, but the expression on his face became calmer and calmer, "As the scale and intensity of the Colonization War continue to expand, a large number of resources and war dividends will continue to be concentrated on the transcendentals, especially the high-level transcendentals, to help them impact higher realms and control more powerful combat power.

"Of course, these transcendents will naturally have greater power, and only in this way can they meet the needs of the colonization war.

"And as the occupied area continues to expand and the supply lines become longer and longer, the ordinary human soldiers represented by the Red Dragon Army will become weaker and weaker, and they will not be able to exert the power of the so-called 'steel torrent'.

"In the final analysis, the seemingly devastating and invincible 'steel torrent', if it wants to exert 100% combat effectiveness, it needs an unimpeded transportation network and strong logistical supply support.

"Hardened roads, railways, a large number of airfields and heavy transport aircraft, sea routes escorted by aircraft carrier formations, a stable and reliable system of heavy industry that cannot be easily destroyed by the enemy...... Only when these conditions are in place can the 'steel torrent' be transformed from a propaganda slogan into a reality.

"I'm sorry, wouldn't you expect an otherworldly civilization - if there was a civilization here, how many hardened roads and railways would there be?

"Although Longcheng has developed a large number of automated, high-efficiency engineering equipment.

"But it is almost impossible to spread a dense transportation network throughout the Atlas without being destroyed by Otherworldly creatures.

"This means that in the vast and boundless land of the Otherworld, it will be very difficult for the Red Dragon Army to implement the strategic maneuver of the large corps in the way of fighting in the Earth Age, and even if it is realized, its cost will reach ten or even a hundred times that of the Earth Age, and the astronomical military expenditure is enough to drag down the entire financial system.

"In the end, Dragon City can only choose to invest most of its resources in the transcendentals, replacing the regular army units with the transcendents who are flexible and mobile, have no logistical pressure, but can 'ride a thousand'.

"When the transcendent is increasingly becoming the protagonist of the war, the Red Dragon Army and other ordinary human armies, because they cannot get resources, will fall into a vicious circle, and gradually become supporting roles and subordinates, and can no longer attack the city, but only exist in the local security army and the like.

"Meng Chao, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Meng Chao opened his mouth.

I want to say, "That makes so sense." ”

Not only does it make sense, this is the fact in the fragments of Meng Chao's previous life.

To say a thousand ways and ten thousand, in a world with extraordinary strength, the combat power of mortal soldiers is too weak, and there are too many restrictions for wanting to exert 100% combat effectiveness.

The key is logistical replenishment.

When the Red Dragon Army is entrenched in Dragon City, backed by their homeland and their fathers and fellow villagers, they can fight amazingly, whether they are facing doomsday beasts or other extraordinary creatures, even the most powerful magicians, they can not give up an inch of land, treat death as home, and fight to the death.

And the close system of heavy industry can also provide a steady stream of tanks, airships, or at least guns and ammunition, to drown the enemy's flesh and blood with a torrent of steel.

However, once the Red Dragon Army leaves the area controlled by the earthlings and needs to go on an expedition, the mountains, rivers, jungles and swamps of the other world, as well as the complex and changeable extreme weather, will make the logistics troops of the Red Dragon Army suffer a lot.

And the object they want to conquer is obviously not the barbarians of the Earth Age.

Whether it's a magician who wields powerful supernatural powers.

Or elves who are elusive and can manipulate the entire forest.

Or the barbarians and orcs who are not afraid of death and can go berserk in an instant.

Even a dwarf who can dig up a thousand holes in the underground world and destroy the hundreds of miles of railway lines of the Red Dragon Army in just a few days.

These damned natives of the other world always have a way to cut off the Red Dragon Army's logistical supply lines.

There is no difference between a modern army that has lost its logistical supplies and a medieval army that has run out of ammunition and food.

What's even worse is that the Red Dragon Army's various large-scale war machines all use hedron as an energy source.

Compared to gasoline and gunpowder in the Earth Age, hedron is an extremely unstable and highly dangerous energy source.

On the battlefield, there are often situations where the situation is obviously favorable to the Earth Army, but the natives of the other world, driven by fanatical beliefs, sacrifice the lives of several strong people, and they can accurately lock the ammunition depot of the Earth Army and explode all the hedron ammunition stored.

Such tragedies have been repeated again and again.

From the high-level of Dragon City to the ordinary citizens, they all have to admit that it is purely a fool's dream to sweep thousands of armies and conquer the entire other world by relying solely on the so-called "steel torrent".

Therefore, Gao Ye was not right at all, before Meng Chao was reborn, all kinds of war resources were indeed constantly tilted towards the transcendental, relying on the transcendent to fight against the strong among the natives of the other world.

And the Red Dragon Army has gradually evolved into three parts.

The first is a very small number of "small but fine" rapid reaction forces, the maximum size of which will not exceed the brigade level.

Like the "Ghost Brigade" that Meng Chao once joined in his previous life, although it was not a real combat unit, it was the most common core combat unit at that time.

The second is the field engineering troops, which specialize in following the butts of the strong, providing fire support and building bridges and paving roads, and building various trenches and fortresses.

The third is the security forces, after the earth powerhouses kill the otherworldly powerhouses, and the engineering troops build the fortress, they will be stationed in the fortress to suppress the nearby otherworldly natives.

Among them, the number of security forces is the largest.

No matter how glorious its war history, how well-equipped, and how high its morale is, once an army is reduced to a security army and regards the elusive guerrillas as its main opponent, its combat effectiveness will inevitably decline, degenerate, and eventually collapse.

The Red Dragons certainly don't want to be reduced to a supporting role in the Colonization Wars, a vigilante army torn between the curse of the elves and the warhammers of the dwarves.

The military has done everything possible to study the "heroic spirit technology" and the "war spirit technology" that condenses the brain waves of hundreds or thousands of soldiers to produce powerful combat effectiveness, all of which are attempts to seize the dominant position in the war.

But none of these technologies can completely reverse the gap between ordinary human soldiers and high-level transcendentals.

The Red Dragon Army is destined to be impossible to achieve the status of any national defense force in the Earth Era.

"From your expression, I can tell that you agree with me."

Takano said very happily, "I really didn't expect that our communication would be so smooth, usually college students of your age, all impulsive, fanatical, blind, think that victory is within reach, and rarely think about the future so calmly."

"In short, in the wars of the coming decades, the power, wealth and power of the transcendent will be further enhanced, and the gap between them and ordinary people will be widened.

"And as their realm continues to improve, Dragon City has developed a large number of 'quasi-artificial intelligence' and 'automation technology' with biochemical modulation technology and rune machinery technology, coupled with the most advanced superbrain technology, and as a result, all kinds of war machines that do not need to be produced and manipulated by ordinary people, which may be drones and thinking chariots, or biochemical war beasts, will further replace the position of ordinary soldiers.

"For a peerless powerhouse, instead of leading an ordinary human army to attack the strongholds of the natives of the other world, it is better to carry a large number of drones, thinking chariots, and biochemical pet beasts, or simply bring nothing, and infiltrate the enemy's stronghold without knowing it, and assassinate the enemy's core figures.

"At least, the drone will not be afraid, the thinking chariot will not collapse, even if the biochemical pet beast dies, it does not need to pay a pension of half a copper plate, even if the war is unfavorable, the peerless powerhouse can withdraw from the battlefield at any time by relying on his superior ability, and he can escape thousands of miles away, but he does not have to rescue his compatriots who are lost in the vast sea of natives in the other world.

"Over time, you will find that ordinary people don't even have the value of being cannon fodder.

"And for a peerless powerhouse that is equipped with a large number of drones, thinking chariots and biochemical pet beasts, and even its own super enterprises, it is worth putting a question mark on how much loyalty he can retain in Dragon City."

Meng Chao frowned slightly: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's very simple, just imagine, you are a peerless powerhouse above the god realm, your own combat power is comparable to an army, and you have an incomparably developed brain, computing power and deduction ability comparable to a supercomputer, can operate thousands of automated war machines at the same time, and at the same time, you are the controller of a super enterprise."

Gao Ye said, "In this way, after conquering several towns of the natives of the other world, and even conquering a kingdom of the natives of the other world, will you still be 100% loyal to Dragon City, loyal to the thousands of ordinary citizens who are far inferior to you, and put their interests above your own?"

"Dragon City is not a normal country, and the Survival Council is far from being an authority with high prestige and the ability to control all transcendentals, even if it seems to be a powerful transcendent tower, it needs to constantly compromise among high-level transcendents to find the greatest common divisor.

"The protracted colonization war will only make the high-level transcendents and the super enterprises they control continue to expand, turning into monsters that are too big to fall, and in the end, it is the transcendents who control the dragon city, not the dragon city that controls the transcendental.

"And the connection between these transcendents who have all kinds of resources and interests, and even have their own independent kingdoms in the depths of the vast Otherworld, and ordinary Dragon City people, is only 'everyone is earthling'.

"Now, Dragon City has only traveled through half a century, and there are still many old people from the Earth Age who have survived all the way to this day, which can make us, the new generation born in the other world, not forget our origins, and can also make the transcendent and ordinary people intimate and work together.

"But I doubt that in another half a century, when all the old people born on the earth have passed away, and the new generation has completely integrated into the other world, how many people will remember that 'everyone is from the earth'."
