Year 4 of the Double Star Era.

Due to Heshan's attack, it is now provoking a conflict between the old and new forces on Fangxing.

However, from the perspective of the Star Civilization, the old forces are now fighting to the death, and the side of the new group is only an increasingly marginal force and the old forces are engaged in a battle.

Tielongji began to fully support Sun Sihong of the Haoyang plate, and even the Luotian plate opened up its trade opening. Clearly, they do not want the emerging countries to completely collapse their own bloc. On the Heshan side, the Ranlun side is only open to the export of strategic materials, and the support is limited in addition.

……

In contrast, the cooperation between the Burner and the Regenerator Association is more in-depth.

Although, the public opinion of the Burning Wheel has an arrogance to look at the little brother of the regeneration society. Take a slight look at the Soul Fire, an industrial force that has been fighting side by side for a long time.

Politics follows interests, not emotions.

When there was no fear of world war. The Regeneration Society is now more able to advance and retreat together, and has strategic determination.

In terms of economic construction, the Regeneration Society is very good at collecting data from the crust of Fangxing, and the progress of in-depth development has exceeded the fire of the heart.

The middle and upper echelons of the burning wheel have reached a general consensus that the future development direction must be to develop in space, and to go to space, the ground must be rooted steadily, and the more accurate the gravitational data, the more convenient the construction of large-scale space facilities can be. The better the progress of each region on the mantle and the center of the earth, the area projected into space in the future will be an economic zone suitable for the construction of large-scale space facilities.

In the War of the Turbulent Era, the more organizational and mobilization forces are displayed in the overall war, and the more dynamic they are in the emerging competition.

As for the impression of the regeneration society of the burning wheel, it may take a long time to get rid of the inertia of the mechanical puppet.

……

Burning Wheel's current surface warfare direction has begun to evolve towards the Commander class mode.

This is the inevitability of the development of surface warfare after the advent of the intelligent era.

Since its development, the military profession has always been developing in the direction of being well-trained and reducing the rate of war losses.

If a well-trained soldier can withstand a hundred people, then there is no need for a hundred people to go to the battlefield to take risks. Even when training such a soldier, the selection is very demanding and consumes a lot of resources.

Cosmic Epoch: Saturn cultivates a high-ranking commander who can command operations in a million-scale theater of war, with at least dozens of median commanders and hundreds of lower-level commanders behind him. 100,000 people who are not commanders, but who can definitely coordinate the offensive on the scale of a composite brigade.

Huge command system, only the upper commander can be a general in the end, and the big battle before the bell era is basically the story of the average star and seventy or eighty superior commanders.

It is very difficult to train commanders.

Even if there is a mature system, from the detailed learning of the military industry to the writing of all artificial intelligence, the training cycle is fifty years, which is undoubtedly cultivating the elite.

[Of course, if a later generation of decision-makers tries to keep only the elite, then the quality of the elite will plummet from that generation onwards.] Ruan Ji once sighed: "There is no hero who becomes famous." ”】

……

The cooperation between Ranlun and Xinsheng Group is also reflected in this regard.

The first batch of commanders were trained, a total of 14,000 people, and the Burning Wheel also submitted a copy of the plan to the Regenerator Society, Psychic Fire.

The fourteen thousand people are now sifted through and there are five thousand left, seven hundred of them have passed through the Psychic Fire, and two hundred have been left in the Regeneration Society.

In the first round of finalists, Zeusin was mixed in.

In the lobby of the eastern base of the Burning Wheel, an information pod modeled after the commander's airdrop base is operating. A commander's exercise is underway here.

The protagonist of the exercise was the instructor Zhou Xing.

In the outer God's Perspective Observation Hall, students and military experts from the Burning Wheel tradition are staring at the screen.

On the screen, at this time, Zhou Xing, as an instructor, simultaneously commanded six mechanized brigades to launch a joint attack at the exercise ground two thousand kilometers away.

In fact, it is not attacking at the same time, all the corps are moving, but the fierce contact engagement, there is still a sequence, after the battle of the previous unit, the second unit just arrived at the position to start the attack, each battle lasts twenty minutes, and after the end, the second one is immediately commanded, so it looks like a simultaneous attack.

Warfare, like art, is coordinated by the commander's whim, and the on-the-spot judgment of the exclusive artificial intelligence and the commander's will are perfectly combined. The onlookers were silent.

Weishan Qi was shocked beyond measure.

Thousands of miles away, Lu Boya saw the expression of Wei Shanqi on the screen, and couldn't help but ask in a joking tone, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Shanqi took a deep breath and restrained his emotions and said, "This is the limit of star catalog warfare technology, right?" ”

When Lu Boya heard this, he sneered: "Limit? Well, in our opinion, yes. When technology advances further, warfare will change again. Where will the limit be? ”

After a few seconds of pause, Wei Shan Qi sighed slightly: "That, I want to learn this." ”

Lu Boya rolled his eyes, but didn't say (you are talking nonsense), but responded with a slightly playful words: "Heh, coincidentally, I want to learn this too." ”

Wei Shanqi was stunned and then laughed a few times, but his heart was tight.

He suddenly found himself focused on collecting technology. The supporting software system (military system, skills) has been neglected, and Lu Boya seems to be ahead of him again.

……

The first batch of students of the Commander Department began training

Six hours later

Here, Zhou Jin came out of the command module, and because the command cabin simulated a long-distance maneuver, this exercise consumed both mental and physical strength. Therefore, the physical fitness of the commander must keep up.

Zhou Jin stood steadily outside the mechanical cabin, looking at the other cabin doors dozens of meters away, the students who were floating in their steps, paused, and decided to step forward to help, but the intelligent robot on the side came to report the news, and the person in charge of the foreign affairs department of the burning wheel asked to meet.

Sixty minutes later.

Zhou Jin looked at the unmanned industrial area outside the subway and muttered about topics such as "falling behind, catching up".

The combustion turbine is now in the post-industrial era, and there is no one in the entire production line except for the inductor in the production area, and only a dozen people are responsible for the mechanical production area of one square kilometer. This production efficiency has completely crushed all parties. This is the technology that was built in the Commander's field and turned it into a civilian technology.

In the past, high-energy field nano manufacturing, in the eight-petal flower federation, this was only mastered by the nobles, but now the burning wheel is controlled by 600,000 basic workers, Rao is so, the productivity of the burning wheel is still excessive, the burning wheel is now the consumption power of continuous developers, and a large seabed is being created. Large areas of natural mountains are cut into trapezoidal shapes, what nature protects, what reduces losses. As long as it is sustainable, human beings are allowed to create in a variety of ways. As for the industrial waste, it is sealed in concrete and thrown into the natural cracks formed by the expansion of the plates, which originally swallowed a large amount of sediment every year during the natural period, melting the sedimentary rocks into volcanic rocks, and now the raw materials collected by humans from the earth's mantle, the garbage generated will return to the depths of the earth.

The manufacturing working class is now a minority of the minority, carefully selected from the entire education system, and this class is the class that will give birth to commanders in the future.

All second-rate forces, including the Regeneration Society, are continuing to distance themselves from first-mover forces such as Ranyun.

The speed at which this pull away was enough to make all the second-rate forces feel hopeless. Of course, the short-term contest between civilizations is a scientific and technological competition, and as for the long-term competition spanning several generations, it ultimately depends on the humanity of that force.

In the face of the generosity of the Burning Wheel's aid trade, the Regeneration Association is still blocking consumption power and not lending for the development of certain industries according to the general interest of "people's welfare".

Ordinary people can consume the goods produced by the elite, provided that they have competed with the elites and are willing to continue to compete.

Objective investigation by the Regeneration Society: Ranlun is not currently threatened by any competition from the Regeneration Association, so it must restrict the relevant consumer industries. Only when we produce an industry that can compete with the fuel wheel in the industry should we open up the consumer market. Make sure that these mechanical dolls, which have been overconsumed, do not fall into the old way.

Consumption must be worthy of the competition and production obligations paid in the relevant industries.

The Spiritual Fire is the polar opposite of the Regeneration Society, its debt is rising every year, and although the Burning Wheel is not collecting debts, it is on a dangerous path. Once the talent chain can't keep up with the progress of the times, then it will suddenly fall to the edge. (Capital is the most realistic, and it will never lend money to useless people.) ）

……

Zeusin saw the history.

This person has long known Zeus, but Lilan doesn't know what the relationship between Zeusin and Polon Keith who once drew himself is.

A large screen was put down in Lilan's office, and the battle situation in the Shanhai area was displayed on it. So the meaning of the meeting was expressed from the very beginning.

Zeusin stared at the big screen with a very calm expression. It was as if this war was taking place in another world. The purpose of the journey is clear to the Celestial Tour (Consciousness Group). After all, all the planning reports of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are submitted to the decision-making level.

The Zhou Tour and Zhou Xing who returned from Bai Ji are all in the decision-making level, so the current representative of the New Life Association, Zhou Jin, also knows what to say.

[The Soul Fire Group is now in a stalemate in the war, and the Burning Wheel, which has a huge investment in the Soul Fire Group, will lose part of its profits due to defeat. In the event of a loss, some leaders of the investment department will have to bear the responsibility, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs thinks that it is not necessary to invest more forces to hedge the stop loss. Hence the idea of bringing the Regeneration Association into the confrontation. Suppress the war. So I found it, and Zhou Jin, the military leader in the Regeneration Association, came to probe the wind. - Zhou You: Hehe, in this era, there are always some people who don't want to admit their mistakes after making a bad move, and want to add two more moves to try to make it a wonderful move. 】

In the eyes of the past.

As the military representative of the Regeneration Society, Zhou Yue responded in a very serious tone: "Your Excellency, Diplomat, soldiers are the way to survive, since you want to ask me something, I can't speculate about Ranlun's current determination. Because whether any strategy is reasonable or not depends on the determination of the country behind it. ”

Li Lan was slightly stunned: "Your Excellency, please speak." ”

Zhou Yue: "In the current battle in the Shanhai region, our camp is nothing more than three choices, a big fight, a medium fight, and a small fight. One of the big fights is a full-scale war, and Burning Wheel is waging an all-out war against the Federation. But I think this is the current period of the blowout of the company's technology, and a large number of technological achievements will emerge in the next five years. The federal side is now unable to find any potential development investment projects in the future, so it spends all its funds in the Shanhai District to fight the Soul Fire Group. ”

There was silence in the past.

Zhou Yue: "As for the small fight, it is to maintain the support of the spiritual fire on the battlefield and find an opportunity to mediate. ”

After taking a look at Zeus, it is undeniable. Obviously, it is believed that behind such a statement is the selfishness of the policy of the Regeneration Society.

Reason: Once the Soul Fire Group loses the war, the investment of the Burning Wheel will be transferred from the Soul Fire to the Regeneration Association, and the Regeneration Association will be the biggest beneficiary, so the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't help but feel a little bit in his heart.

In the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, Li Lan smiled at Zhou Jin: "Your Excellency is right, now for both you and me, active war is not a good decision. ”

……

Fifteen minutes later, Zeusin walked out of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Burning Wheel.

Turning his head to look at this gate, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Although we are on the right path of development, the idea of speculation is always easy to be hooked out by relevant interests." If you can stick to the principles from beginning to end, then you have progressed to the humanities of the star civilization. ”

In the conversation just now, the option of 'medium fighting' was not mentioned, because, after explaining the big fight and small fight, the foreign affairs department of Ranlun and the Regeneration Association have already understood each other's bottom lines, so there is no need to say 'medium fight'.

Medium Fight: The Federation is now in a full-scale decisive battle with the Psychic Fire, so the Regeneration Society can also have a decisive battle against a marginal force within the Federation, such as the declining old power of Divine Arrival, which can be swallowed by war to hedge the loss. And the name is ready-made - liberated mechanical dolls.

As long as the war is won, the related robot puppets and the regional economy can make up for the losses caused by the stinky chess played by the Psychic Fire in their own camp. The foreign affairs department of the Ranlun could not even convince the regeneration committee, and naturally could not make its own industrial sector take the risk and pay for the failure of external investment.

In this transformation, forces such as the Burning Wheel and the Regeneration Society were formalized as the camp of the social order.

If the war is to be linked to economic risks, then it is a capital bloc through and through.

The foreign affairs department and the foreign trade and investment department of Ranlun are now in a hurry to lose overseas investment, but after all, they are only a small group of people in Ranlun.

May 5, 4th year of the Double Star Era.

The positions of more than 60 officials in the foreign trade department have been adjusted internally, which means that the fire of the soul is ready to cut the flesh.
