November 12, 460 A.D.

A three-hundred-meter-long warship came over the Land of the Scales. The silvery-white hull of the ship was stretched out of the shield, and the exterior was surrounded by an oval transparent halo.

In the bridge of the battleship command, Bei He Lu, who was dressed in a general's uniform, was looking at the projection sand table in front of him.

The artificial intelligence on the side is docking the specific information uploaded by the burning wheel below to refine the projection of aerial photography. Behind him, six sets of mechanical figures (intelligence officers) sit in front of their respective screens to analyze the situation, while the information helmets on their heads transmit the analyzed details to the artificial intelligence to summarize them.

For example, the deployment of Burning Wheel's troops on the map, as well as the titanium steel spider-like mechanics detected on the front line, all appeared in detail in Bei He Lu's perspective.

This is a frontier battlefield

The battleship is also like a magnet, which will attract some of the titanium steel missiles to counterattack, and the alarm in the hall is sounding in clusters.

This is due to the fact that the surveillance network of the turbine drones in the area was the first to detect the early warning of the Titanium Steel's attempt to deploy a missile position.

Beside Bei He Lu, another artificial intelligence appeared and prompted: "Commander, the risk in the war zone here is extremely high now. ”

Bei Helu glanced at the early warning situation, waved his hand and said: "Go to the (closest) anti-missile position and descend to the altitude." ”

The AI paused, popping up a series of risk values.

Bei Helu frowned: "Don't introduce me, carry out the instructions." ”

……

The pale blue flamejet of Bei He Lu's battleship territory began to rotate slightly, pushing the battleship upside down and reducing its altitude, and this series of operations was like a mockery, making the remnants of the titanium steel army want to attack this important unit of the Federation at all costs.

After all, in the past few months, titanium steel and burning wheels have been too aggrieved. The attack and defense of the burning wheel are quite moderate, and the offense is like a fire burning the prairie fire, and it is often interspersed with showing firepower coordination and outflanking.

And when it comes to defense, it is to make titanium steel have to gnaw on the high ground, gnaw until the teeth collapse, and you can't bite a trace of meat.

At this time, the advanced warships of the Federation appeared without the protection of the accompanying legions, how could the gamblers who lost on the titanium steel front resist this temptation?

[But the current situation is, Burning Wheel: "Give you a chance, you won't be useful!] ”】

Not to mention, Bei Helu's battleship shield combined with the protection of the close-in defense artillery system can intercept sixty or seventy subsonic missiles in three seconds.

On the ground, the reaction speed of the Burning Wheel Corps was so fast that the titanium steel could not move.

Now, in the area of the scale mound, only the corps of the burning wheel can deploy a hundred missiles in half an hour to saturate and attack a certain target.

On the battlefield, fighter planes are fleeting, and the shorter the time and the more large-scale deployment can be completed, the only way to seize them. This is the basic criterion for whether an army is a strong army.

As for titanium steel, not to mention that its organization was beaten by the Burning Wheel and almost collapsed, the priests of the various departments no longer believed in their teammates, even if their organization was at its peak, they could not do the organization of the second-line legion of the Burning Wheel.

So.

The Bei Helu fleet received an early warning, but on the titanium steel position, not a single shot was fired on the forty missile positions, and they were all blown up by the ground rapid response fire of the burning wheel.

Twenty minutes later.

Inside the atmospheric floating battleship. On the screen in front of Bei He Lu, the fleet protection is always safe and green (the energy of the protective shield has not been attenuated), and the red warning is like a false alarm.

Outside the glass observation window, those areas that have been warned seem to have been shelled by the burning wheel one by one.

Smoke rose from the mountains and strongholds. - In this scene, it is like a drama police loudly calling for a certain criminal to be dangerous, and then he violently took out a heavy machine gun and directly shot the criminal who had not yet seen the threat and whipped the corpse!

Inside the bridge.

When Bei Helu looked at this scene, the atmosphere in the electronic command hall where he was located was cold! The non-commissioned officers behind him also felt what this meant.

Compared to titanium steel, the burner is very quiet.

But in fact, the burning wheel is far from the titanium steel gods. Such a powerful war force, but in peacetime can be as quiet as a virgin, the meaning behind this is too sweaty for the federal ruling class.

I'm afraid that no group of the Eight-Petal Flower Federation can do it now, and when it comes to large-scale scheduling, it is like one person.

Originally, Bei Shuming was slightly dissatisfied with Ranlun's disobedience to his own decision-making, but now he has withdrawn his previous attitude, seven points have become cautious, and the remaining three points are vigilant.

……

The peaks that were dyed green by moss and caught by the flames of war slowly retreated.

The battleship slowly sailed in, and the anti-missile position formulated by the burning ship. After the battleship entered the security zone.

The communication of the burning wheel flickered, and Bei He Lu, who was wearing an electronic information crown, immediately connected the communication.

The person in charge of the duty of the Burning Wheel in the theater of operations, Lu Yi, appeared on the screen.

Lu Ru said in a standard and polite tone: "Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you, the situation in the war zone is not very peaceful as you can see. Please ......"

Bei He Lu interrupted very unceremoniously: "Let Zhou You talk to me." ”

Lu seemed to pause, hesitated, and pressed the electronic monitoring ring around his neck with his hand, and sent the situation to the organization.

When Bei Helu saw this scene, the light in his pupils gathered, and this situation once again reminded him that he had sighed in his heart before, "Burning Wheel is like a person".

Twenty seconds later.

Lu seemed to have been confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and promised to Bei He Lu: "Sir, the person in charge of our company is about to connect to your phone." ”

……

In the Arctic regional energy base.

Zeuyou, who was riding on a nuclear fusion ring to inspect the system, received information from the front line, (was disturbed) snorted coldly, and connected to the phone.

Looking at Bei He Lu in the cabin, he couldn't help but say in a strange manner: "Oh, my Fortress Warrior, you ran to the Scales Mound to inspect the front line, why did you drag me far behind to you, it was the front line that neglected you, so you want to put fire on me?" Gee. ”

Bei He Lu originally had a stomach, but when he saw the appearance of Zhou You, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He took a deep breath and said, "Zeyou, you are fighting majestically. ”

Zhou You couldn't help but nod and said, "This is also, thanks to the policy support of the Federation." Only our front-line soldiers can fight bravely to kill the enemy. These unnutritious words are well known to the Celestial Lobby.

Bei He Lu stared at the face that had not changed in the past ten years, and asked, "Now on the news, I have a high opinion of your combat power. ”

Zhou You met Bei He Lu's gaze, his smile gradually retracted, and he took off the mechanical gloves of the operation. At the same time, he complained in a low voice: "People are afraid of being famous, and pigs (the same type of meat animals on Fang Xing) are afraid of being strong." ”

Bei He Lu said slowly: "The Supreme Council has been discussing giving you a central seat recently. ”

Zhou You glanced at Bei He Lu and said slowly: "If I take this seat, will it have the same effect as you take this seat?" ”

- This is definitely different, Bei Helu got this seat, with the support of family forces behind him, and this seat is his personal right to speak; And Zhou You got this seat, but Fang Xingxing tried to pull out the core personnel of the burning wheel.

Bei He Lu said: "You can not come. ”

Zhou You nodded: "Then, help me reject this kindness." ”

Bei Helu was simply truncated by this, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and after a long time, he asked, "Are you ready to go it alone?" ”

Zhou You spread his hands: "How come, all the connections between the Burning Wheel and the Federation will continue." ”

Bei Helu couldn't help laughing, poked through the last piece of paper and said, "However, the current burning wheel can't be controlled." ”

To Bei He Lu's surprise, Zhou You responded with a very ordinary smile: "You didn't control us before!" ”

Another second of silence.

Bei Helu: "That's right, you didn't need to control it before. ———— need it now. ”

In the eyes of Zhou You, the truth-telling Bei He Lu is much more amiable than the federal politicians who tell lies.

……

The military operation of the burning wheel in the scale mound shocked the upper echelons of the Federation.

Everyone in the past, including Bei Xuanming, who dispatched the Burning Wheel, also believed that the confrontation between the large local force of the Burning Wheel and the remnants of the Titanium Steel Army in the Scales Mound Area would inevitably form a situation of mutual consumption and wear.

After all, the entire federation has invested so much money and invested so much material and manpower, but it has failed to solve the problem. The combustion wheel of inferior science and technology is also to have a good experience of mold.

But in fact, the second phase of the burning wheel has now been completed, and the encirclement has been reduced to less than 600,000 square kilometers.

Titanium steel is on the verge of death, but the revolt is becoming more and more desperate.

The religious groups have almost sent their troops forward in a pattern of sending them to death.

After giving the front-line troops enough medicine and electronic pleasure chips, they let the robot puppet have a final refreshment and then go on the road with peace of mind.

On the side of the burning wheel, there were three hundred and forty deaths in the early attack, and now the more they fight, the more they fight, the battle damage ratio is being pulled wider and wider.

People always say, "May there be no war in the world". But in fact, war is a test of a country. In this assessment, the whole country has run in except for a tacit understanding of the whole people.

This often leads to the fact that the more terrible the war, the more developed the country becomes.

Without this war, the Celestial Lobby would not have been able to explain to everyone what the overall mobilization of the country is.

The so-called mobilization of the whole country means that thousands of people stand under one principle and are assigned by the organization to carry out all kinds of complex work, and this huge work system is like one person carrying out transcendent goals that "cannot be imagined by mortals".

In this battle.

The engineering team that excavated the river, the meteorological team in various areas of the hills, and the front-line reconnaissance team collected moss data......

At the very beginning of the war, the above-mentioned hundreds of departments only followed the plan and maintained basic and regulated exchanges.

For example, the river excavation group only provides working length and salinity, the meteorological group only provides evaporation, and the front line only provides the moss growth cycle of each area.

Now, the various departments are in close communication in the run-in of the war, several times more than at the beginning. On the basis of the original plan, each department further actively calculates its own data and the impact on the other party's data.

In the second phase of the operation, the total amount of information exchanged by various departments is already a hundred times more complicated than at the beginning.

The organization of this complex linkage is unprecedented in the history of Fang Xing. This is the benefit of adhering to principles, which can make the brains of thousands of people think for one will.

And the federation, which has been stable for a hundred years, is now increasingly declining towards feudalism and is simply unable to complete this mobilization.

……

December 4th. The third wave of the offensive ended. The Burning Wheel gradually takes control of all areas of the Mound.

The rest is to purge the titanium steel that has been beaten to the point that the soul has been lost, and all the high-ranking priests are self-judged. - Their self-determination is to inject lethal drugs, and at the same time enter the virtual world to carry out the final madness, so many war criminals in the punishment camp were tortured to death in the virtual world electrical stimulation.

When all the organizational strata despair, either surrender or commit suicide, there is no possibility of guerrilla warfare.

Remnants of a mechanical figure? After losing the restraint of the supreme commander, it will completely collapse on the fourth day, and then jump out and be annihilated.

All human machinery, including human beings, must have a reason to persist in order to continue.

At the end of December, the company had already begun planning the construction of an underground network in the 1.8 million square kilometre area.

If the federation is one, and the development of the burning wheel to this extent, it will definitely be contained.

However, federal politics is complex. The unexpected end of the war in the Scales Hill region gave the North Sweeping Ming a high prestige in the Senate.

Well, other political forces in the federation may now talk about the "burning wheel threat theory", but in fact, what is considered is the current actions of Bei Xuming, a giant who can dispatch the burning wheel.

Moreover, the objects of major economic cooperation with Ranlun are also Bei Zhuoming, and other forces have no reason not to believe in Bei Zhuoming's influence on Ranlun.

The battle of the burning wheel has self-reliant capital. And Bei Zhuming has eaten the dividends of the war.

The previous economic reforms were aimed at consolidating the other disobedient forces of the Federation. Although his own military power is the strongest, he still marries the gods and makes concessions to the royal family.

But now, Ranlun has neatly solved the difficult opponents of the Haoyang plate. The parliamentarians of the Haoyang plate are now making even greater concessions to Bei Xuming.

At this time, will Bei Xuan Ming suddenly draw a line with Burning Wheel?

That's impossible, if Bei Zhuoming really did it. He is as holy as Mandela on Earth.

It is impossible for Bei Shuming to suppress the burning wheel, and when other regions say that the burning wheel is not, he has to stand up and pack the ticket. Otherwise, who will be under his orders, foreign wars.

……

Bei Sweep Ming couldn't suppress the burning wheel on the bright side. But he didn't "give up the treatment", and the small actions in the dark still didn't stop.

He instructed the vast ocean plate and proposed to transfer the universe to the center to "pay attention", which was one of these means. However, Zhou You saw through it and refused.

Well, when Zhou You refused the federal order, he was invited by Bei He Lu and ran to Luo Tian's base camp.

February 17, 461.

Luo Tian plate, the core area, the underground protection area of the Beijia family - Tianyou Cave Tianzhong.

Accompanied by Bei He Lu, Zhou You passed through the elevator and through the 300-meter granite layer to the wide underground walkway.

Zeyou looked up at the man-made underground reservoir. This reservoir is formed by the widening of the spider web-like underground waterways and the parallel connection. Under the crystal glass dome, a villa space is supported.

Glorious? No, the bigger scene has ever seen. How can mortals know the insight of the human beings of the star civilization? Zeusyou is just lamenting this luxury.

In most areas, the price of a bucket of drinkable fresh water can cost the average city one-fiftieth of their monthly income. And Luo Tian's wealthy family directly made this aquarium-like dome walkway.

When Zhou You stopped and looked curiously at the fish in the glass walkway, Bei He Lu on the side also stopped and waited patiently.

The servant on the side didn't show it, but he couldn't help frowning in his heart, and he was very concerned about Zeyu's heartless rudeness.

However, Bei He Lu, looking at the appearance of Zhou You, couldn't help but be touched in his heart.

The feeling of Zeyo to him is pure, and it is too suitable for this aquatic world aisle.

In fact.

Lu is like a man, and many people have the impression that the temperament of Zhou You is steel. Because they are comrades who discuss the route with the tour of the universe, they often experience the toughness of the tour in principle. "Even if the evil wind is raging in the world, we must launch a charge to defend the right path".

In Lu Boya's eyes, he thinks that the temperament of the universe is a wonder that stretches for tens of thousands of kilometers.

Because she has been traveling with Zeo for more than 20 years. Zeuyou has always shouldered the responsibility of transcending the times and has always been unwilling to retreat, so only the existence of 'magnificent spectacle', which is almost about to break through the limits of productivity, can show the greatness of Zeuyou's character.

Zhou You turned to Bei He Lu and said, "Oh, I'm in a daze. I've been waiting for a long time, let's go. ”

Bei Helu shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's okay, you are interested, so naturally you can't destroy it." He turned his head to look at the aisle of the water world, and said slowly: "Many scenes, that is, you can feel it at first glance, and if you see too much, that's it!" ”

Zhou You paused and said seriously: "Some things are indeed like that, but some things can't be numb no matter how much you experience. ”

……

In the underground hall.

For the first time, Zhou You met the chairman of the Senate.

This tumbler who has been in the political arena for more than 70 years is very enthusiastic about the sea tour. This passion.

Zhou You used the method of textbooks and his tricks,—— which made Bei Yuming surprised, and at the same time muttered in his heart: "Little fox"

See more than that. Nothing more than co-opting and controlling.

After greeting him, he will keep a smile on his face and show a gentle gesture to cooperate with him. In the face of Bei Zhuoming's meaningful questioning, Zhou You remained "naïve" and "dull", and did not understand his meaning.

A few hours later, Zeyu left.

Bei Shuming restrained his smile and asked Bei He Lu, who was returning to the hall, "This son, is it your friend?" ”

Bei Helu paused and said, "It's not a friend, but we have cooperated in the past, so we can speak." ”

Bei Shuming took a deep breath and said: "In the early years, I was able to find you, cooperate without being humble or arrogant, and now in front of me, you can also talk with me (lightly self-deprecating) 'have a good conversation', it's really-"

Bei Shuming let out a sigh, and Bei He Lu looked at him with an inquiring gaze.

After a long time, this old politician who has read countless people said slowly: "Not like a guest in the world!" ”
