In the 97th year of the sequence era, the preliminary construction of the rust base was completed.

Wei Shan Qi showed an iron man demeanor, forcefully suppressed the four opposition families in the rust base, supported three intelligence organizations that checked and balanced each other, and completely controlled internal affairs.

Of course, in his layout, a regiment of Boys' Guards was also established, and Zeyu, as the smallest of his cronies, began to stay behind him with guns for a long time. The various careerists in the rust base regard the tour as an absolute guard who has been brainwashed by Weishan Qi, and only Weishan Qi obeys.

Of course, the tunnels are still dark and damp, 80 percent of the poor people still live together like rats, and 6 percent of the children are okay to catch cockroaches (similar insects) and wash and barbecue them for snacks.

Today, in the command room of the rusty base, the bright yellow incandescent lamps shine on the room with complex gilded patterns, the overall tone is dark, these tables and benches are placed in the surface dormitory building, which is very gorgeous and beautiful, but in this underground, due to the problem of voltage instability, the wiring needs to be safe, the lighting is scarce, and the most luxurious place in the base is very gloomy.

Wei Shan Qi sat on the main seat of the round table as usual, flanked by other important members of the Rust Base. As the commander of the Guards Legion, Zhou You did not have a seat, and stood directly beside Wei Shanqi.

A year ago, the Guards Corps, a pure assault rifle regiment, had mastered a considerable force of 324 trucks, 24 tanks, and 145 armored vehicles in the base. But it is also ranked in the top three under Wei Shanqi. Moreover, Zeyo knows a lot of secrets about the base. At this meeting, no one will ask for advice, but no one will ignore it.

Opening of the meeting.

Wei Shanqi looked at these people with his usual smile. "This year, our steel production has reached 1.6 million tons again, which is gratifying. ”

The fat man on the side clapped his hands flatteringly and said, "Yes, my lord is wise, I am gratifying, I am gratifying." The crowd was led and began to applaud. Wei Shanqi waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said, "Everyone, everyone, you still need to work hard, don't be proud. These kind words made everyone shiver.

Under the Reign of Black Terror, people who sit here and dare to be proud have been sent to the sea basin to feed Cthulhu, right? Wei Shan Qi: "With today's strength, we should make a difference in the sequence war. ”

……

The various bases under the sequence system are actually city-state systems.

That is, each large city is the core of the rule, and there are various strongholds in different ranges. Under the sequential order, human trade is absolutely free, so there is no traditional border system. There is a coal mine in the middle of the rust base, which is very rare.

With this sub-civilization's own raw material production, it is almost impossible to defeat the swarm.

The demonic ore beast debugged by the bell civilization drills underground ore veins for mass production, and the mined minerals and ore veins directly extend to the central material tower and gush out. The size of the gushing is assigned by the sequence ranking. The higher the sequence, the higher the amount of minerals the city can get. Conversely, the lower the sequence, the lower the amount of minerals.

In the past two years, the throughput of the port has greatly expanded, and the output of the merchant fleet has also expanded, but trade has not expanded as expected.

Weishan Qi's words now are very simple, that is, to send troops out to fight in the jungle (sequence battle).

The atmosphere at the round table became hypocritical.

Foreign wars are very risky for the poor and weak base of the rust base.

Capital has always instigated the powerful forces to rob, and will never invest large sums of money in the weak, and most of the assets of these family forces here have so far been quietly invested in the bases of other parties in the outside world.

Wei Shan Qi looked at these people with a sneer, and the celestial tour behind him was a dangerous glance at the venue.

Some people deserve to die again.

……

An hour later, in the study, only two people remained, Zhou You and Wei Shanqi.

With a bang, a roll of maps was spread out and compared with the map information now displayed on the LCD screen. The two men took a pen and paper and marked the new map.

As commanders, the two of them can mobilize the database, but drawing is a basic skill. Drawing is for memory, when each location is personally marked, the flickering on the electronic map can be known at a glance. Moreover, the reasons for the inconsistencies between the old and new maps can give the commander an understanding of important dynamic information.

After dozens of drawings are done.

Wei Shanqi looked at Zhou You and said slowly: "Now that the war starts, we may be taking risks." ”

Zhou You: "I'm ready in terms of weapons and equipment, the only thing is, can you guarantee the wartime system in the rear?" If the supply of materials in the rear is unstable, and the ships cannot supply the supplies to the corresponding port stations in time, the troops on the front line will not be able to complete the operation, well, the operation at this level of technology largely depends on logistics. ”

The expeditionary force has a total of 14,000 people, and will be equipped with 340 combat vehicles, maintain 5,000 standard armed vehicles, a large amount of fuel, and spare parts. In the eyes of the others in the rust base, with such a huge military force, what should be done internally. However, in the eyes of Zhou You, such a huge legion has a huge number of problems, and it is difficult to survive in foreign wars.

Wei Shan Qi saw that Zhou You did not answer his own question, and took out the information and responded: "The stability of logistics, you can rest assured, what about me, the current power is still very stable." ”

We talked a little more.

Zhou You raised his head: "But, you married the daughter of the Lian family, right?" ”

Wei Shanqi was slightly stunned. He knew from Lu Boya: Zhou You's temperament has changed now.

Zhou You continued to say calmly: "Moreover, we will all have children soon, we are human beings, and blood feelings always interfere with our judgment and determination. ”

The temperature of the atmosphere gradually decreased.

Wei Shanqi: You're going to keep him alive, right?

Zhou You let out a sigh: "Then start setting the bottom line now, 1: political chaos will not harm your family." 2: Family members of politicians are strictly forbidden to meddle in politics. So, education, well, you and your wife may have to have an ideological war in education, and since you have children, you have to be prepared, otherwise, no one can guarantee survival or destruction. ”

Hearing this, Wei Shanqi nodded bitterly. There is no problem with the idea of traveling to the sky, but it is very difficult to do it in this world. At the end of the day, it's the world's problem.

After a few seconds, he turned to Zeuyou and asked, "If it were you, what if you had an heir here?" ”

Zhou You: "I won't have children here, but if you want to seek a similar reference answer, you can refer to my split body in the future, and if, one day, some of my split mind body deviates from the boundaries I have agreed with, then I will deal with myself." ”

Wei Shanqi was silent. After Yan Jingxing and Fang Xing, he knew what choice he would make now.

Zhou You: "Isn't it annoying to me now?" ”

Wei Shanqi nodded: "It's a little unkind." ”

Zhou You nodded: "Yes, you still have a long way to go in the future, and you have to summarize, so there is nothing wrong with multi-faceted consideration." And I'm gone with what I should have left, and now it's time to go back and continue to be modest. ”

Zhou You looked at the starry sky and said slowly: "I came here to find the last way out. It is not divided, it is not blunted, it is not stagnant. ”

Zhou You lowered his head, and his eyes flashed with sharp brilliance: "Dare to ask where the road is?" ”

……

Three months later.

The black steamer slowly sailed into the harbor, and according to the industrial chain seen by Zeyo in the rust base, there was no ability to make such a large ship. This is after the rust base built the hull, it cost a lot of money to have the technicians of other advanced bases come up and install it.

There is no industrial blockade in this world, the industry all over the world is a unified standard, the caliber of firearms is the same, and the caliber of bullets and shells is the same. The electronic chip, the operating system are the same. Technology is so clear, there are no blockade boundaries, and the rust base still can't be built, it seems that it is completely what other people say, and the "racial attributes" are not suitable for the study of high technology.

But in reality, there is no racial attribute, it is nothing more than the forgetting of the historical process, the lack of the necessary consciousness in the process of social production, and the inability to complete the organization of large-scale industrial manufacturing.

In the view of Zhou You, not to mention the webless human race, all the nations under the sequence system are all historically deficient, and they are all forces that have lost their ability to independently develop high-tech, and they all rely on monopolizing old science and technology to maintain system governance. If it weren't for the help of the Star Civilization a few times, its technology would have even regressed.

For example, seventy years ago, when the swarm first arrived, the number one force that maintained chip manufacturing almost lost the technological model of chip manufacturing. Since then, they have burned their technology into the databases of various forces around the world to ensure that they cannot be lost. It's really well-intentioned.

[Zhou You pointed to the sun and cursed: "You guys still help, the sub-civilizations here are addicted to milk, what kind of poisonous milk are you pouring?" ”】

Although the technology is not blocked, the craftsmanship of the worker team still widens the gap, and the combat readiness of each base is clearly divided into several levels. Taking the engine as an example, the tank engine is divided into four grades, 500 horsepower, 800 horsepower, 1,000 horsepower, 1,05 horsepower, and the power gear transmission structure is also divided into grades.

The relevant aircraft, tanks, heavy artillery, and warships have different degrees of industry, different advantageous industrial projects, and different armaments.

For example, the tank under the command of Zhou You is a second-generation tank with an armor-piercing capacity of 300 mm of homogeneous steel plates. Compared with the Iron Lion on the mainstream battlefield now, it is very crispy.

"The 59 of the round head beats the 99 of the cuboid brain gate, this kind of thing" - Zhou You (confession): "Try to avoid it. ”

Speaking of which, Zeyou had nothing to do and scraped the patent leather on the steel frame of the crane with a saber.

……

At the same time, on the rough sea, a group of stronger whistles began to sound, and the harbor played the "funeral music", which was actually the welcome "Yale", which was very grand in the standards of the people of this world. However, after the era of double stars, all music creators created high-pitched and exciting roads, so in the strong contrast, Zhou You felt a twilight for the music and other artworks of this era.

The 60,000-ton supply ship, twice as large as the rust base, slowly leaned against the dock, and the bow was a symbol of flames, which was the supply of another base. The battleship of the rust base was like Pan Changjiang standing beside Yao Ming, and the frustration suddenly became prominent.

He looked at it and smiled helplessly, there were tungsten steel armor-piercing shells and infrared-guided anti-tank missiles, while the rust base used armor fragmentation shells. The technology generation gap is not a star and a half.

……

Sixty minutes later, in the office hall of the underground base of the pier.

A female logistics officer with a posture but a high frontal bone flipped through the information submitted by the Celestial Tour, and then indifferently pointed to a point on the map.

Zhou You stared at it for a moment and nodded silently. The thick legion materials, as well as the forms, were casually set aside and stacked on top of each other, never opened.

The military staff officer under the sequence order waved his hand like a fly and let Zhou You leave. More than 10,000 troops were so casually arranged on the secondary battlefield.

After walking out of the hall, Zhou You couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, people are poor and short-minded." Then he looked back sarcastically.

……

War is the most sloppy thing, and the sequence system makes it convenient for the human forces here to fight, but it also makes the human beings here sloppy to the extreme.

In the era of electronic technology civilization under the normal historical process, for the camp that dominates the war, any force joining, even if it is a weak country, must have bureaucrats to carefully investigate its war potential, and then carefully discuss and send it to the appropriate battlefield by the general staff.

……

How important is the civil service analysis system? That is, what is the use of the programmed meeting of the relevant departments?

For example, the 38th parallel.

Since Japan surrendered too quickly, the Soviet Union advanced rapidly on the peninsula. The Pentagon got the news and held a five-member meeting, in which the assistant secretary of the US military invited the two colonels to another room and asked them to come up with a demarcation plan before the meeting ended. As a result, two guys who had never been to Asia and knew nothing about the history and geography of the local peoples, directly followed the boundaries of the partition between Tsarist Russia and the Japanese Imperial Era, and demarcated such a parallel dimensional straight line across many mountains and rivers. Tsk, that's what Africa is doing.

Everyone knows what the result of such a non-bureaucratic "efficient" demarcation will be. Five years later, he was dragged into the wrong war at the wrong time. If you don't save time on those discussions, look up more information and find more professionals. War would not have broken out so hastily.

……

Also today, the alliance office composed of several high-sequence bases on Coral, is more like a tea party for the political coordination of the elites than an institution for dealing with war matters.

This makes Zhou You feel that human beings are really defeated.

……

On the pier, Zeyu stands on a metal railing with an anti-wave bar, one step, two steps (similar to walking a tightrope). After two years of physical training, my balance has been restored.

Zhou You looked back at the stepped pyramid surrounded by the embankment: "Demolition? Unload? Alas, it's better to burn it out with a fire. ”
