870 Above the Glow
Looking back at the past history of mankind
In 1854, the first French ironclad ship was launched, and in 1894, the first large-scale naval decisive battle of steam ironclad ships (Jiawu). The development of new technologies, from the first year of the solar calendar to the 41st year of the solar calendar, from the first nuclear fusion-powered spacecraft to today's large-scale fleet showdown, is also 40 years.
#
The vast array of fleets spanned more than the diameter of the Earth, and the fleets of both sides changed arrays like schools of fish. Of course, the distance in space is too great, and a decisive battle of the fleet requires months of formation adjustment.
During these months, the war zones on Earth and Mars were focused on the Space Fleet showdown, but at the same time the war on the ground became more intense.
Because both sides know that once the curtain of the space war is over, and there are no additional factors to join the whole war, the outcome of the war will basically be determined.
In World War I, Germany had almost won the war on land, and Russia was directly consumed. But the coastline was blocked and the lines of external communication were cut off.
The same is true now, although the defeat of the space war does not mean the extinction of the industrial forces on the earth, there can still be resistance on the ground. But no matter how much they resist, they lost the ability to continue to speak in the old world, and they were sealed on the earth, and they could only compromise.
#
Many cyber strategists in the 21st century believe that the German High Seas Fleet is an unimportant power, and even if it is exhausted with Britain, it can still rely on the land to seize European hegemony, on the contrary, once the British Navy is exhausted, Britain will collapse. This was due to a lack of understanding of the world economic system at that time. Under the capital system at that time. The fleet was a crucial tool for the division of interests in the post-war period.
Without sufficient post-war benefits, the post-war system cannot be maintained. At that time, Germany was still the system of Juncker capitalists, not a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics that could carry out a planned economy in later generations, nor a highly centralized and monopolistic American capital economy. But the EU-German Juncker alliance does not.
Suppose Germany loses its fleet, the German Army flattens France and Russia, and the economic model of the Junker Union in Germany after the war, in the loss of global trade chains, is unmanageable for the industrial economy of Europe. The industrial economy of the time was to suck the blood of the world. If the German Army conquered Europe and did not have overseas fleets to maintain the trade chain economy to support, then the Junckers would not be able to solve Germany's internal industrial problems. What will happen? Yes, the road left for Germany is the Marxist economic road. Therefore, the German upper echelons could not afford to lose the fleet in any case. Otherwise, the war is won by the army, an economic crisis, the redness of the Russian-style army will occur, and then the working people of all Europe will unite.
The fleet is not only an instrument of military significance, but also an economic and political tool of the post-war period. In the old international model, the fleet is also a tool. The belligerents want to get out of this problem unless a new international model emerges in the world. Of course, the emergence of this new scale model does not depend on any one country to implement, but waits for the emergence of a change in the world's mainstream consciousness.

The perspective returns to the war
Martian region.
In the current war, North America and the two alliances temporarily formed an alliance to counter the Pacific Alliance. If we say that the Earth is the largest naval battle in the entire solar system. Then Mars is the largest land battle in the solar system.
The two sides are fighting around Mount Olympus, the highest mountain in the solar system.
The mountain is a volcano with a maximum of 25 km. The total area of the base is 300,000 square kilometers. Guangdong is 170,000 square kilometers, Sichuan is 480,000 square kilometers, and the total area of Mars is equivalent to 30% of the earth's surface area.
At this time, the Pacific camp occupied the northern side of the mountain range, while North America and Northern Russia occupied the southern and eastern sides. Both sides have built a series of facilities on their own positions.

The trajectory of the ballistic missile, which can be seen every day, drifts over the horizon (the terrain of the earth is raised). Then the scene of the mushroom cloud exploding heavily on the ground. And every time the mushroom cloud rises, you can see a large number of stones rolling on the ground due to strong tremors. (The whole terrain is a gentle slope)
On such a terrain surface. A large number of mechanical bodies are working. It is different from the art style of the armor in the seawater on Earth. On Mars is naked metal mechanical style.
Spider-like mechs crawl on the ground, propelling vehicles with tentacles outstretched, transporting and manipulating them. Colonization techniques on Mars use monkeys, dogs, and pigs.
Brain chips were implanted in these animals. Simple job skills are imparted. Mineral identification skills, which are then used for Mars development. Of course, both sides wanted to use this kind of weapon to join the war. However, because the biological brain is highly unstable in the face of highly complex and dangerous environments.
Therefore, it has not replaced the role of mechanical AI in warfare.
#
War Link: Mechanical AI performs missions on the battlefield. Humans are solely responsible for mechanical failures of mechanical AI in warfare.
And the production link: and now the failure of the transportation mining machinery is discovered by the animals, and then summarized by the AI. Humans to solve.
At the end of the day, it's humans who are responsible. It's just that there are too many distractions in war, and human beings need to personally ensure that there are no mistakes in the link.
Now in the fierce war, human soldiers will become psychophysically out of control because of the brutal pictures of death and injury, let alone animals. So the biological system withdrew from the battlefield.
###
In addition to the warring sides on Mars, there is also a third-party neutral force, and this neutral force is the exploration group of Nanhua. (The five-star region focuses on Venus and Mercury, and has very little influence on Mars.) Now this power of South China is in a very delicate position now.
In the 41st year of the solar calendar, He Fangxuan arrived on Mars in the space warehouse. After landing, he passed through the war zone and came to the Martian colony of the South Sea Federation.
#
Now the surface of Mars is full of traces of human beings. A hundred years ago, the surface of Mars was a strange weathered stone, but now on this battlefield, you can see all kinds of craters and all kinds of mechanical wreckage.
Mars has only half the gravity of the Earth, but the density of the atmosphere is only one percent of that of the Earth, which causes the wars on the surface of Mars to be all ground wars, and there are no aircraft
A two-ton four-legged mechanical soldier with a wall more than 40 meters high. This is the style of the Martian battlefield. Before arriving on Mars, He Fangqiu made a comprehensive investigation of the social situation in South China.
To some extent, the current era is the era when Nanhua is most likely to blend in with the top. An era where there is no barrier to birth, an era where there is no talent barrier. For more than 100 years, these big families in East Asia have not been as meritocracy as they are today.
Since the beginning of the 20th year of the solar calendar, the power of the cold gate in the South Seas region has been rising. A large number of people who come to the poor can get no less than high-level knowledge education on the Internet.
The threshold of the university no longer exists. You can participate in courses on the Internet, and you can participate in the same level of exams as college students. The only difference between entering a university and not entering a university is whether there is a mentor channel to guide you. In the third and fifth years of the solar calendar, most of the reborn people in Nanhua's cold door have become a fairly strong social force. They are concentrated in the citizenry (the lower part is the common people), who control social production, and who are also an indispensable force in the management of society at the top of society.
But 35 years ago, the social class in Nanhua was still stable. There is no reason for the top to compromise with the middle level, and the top can still use the old social model to weaken the high organizational political power that may arise in the middle level. But with the advent of war, the old system is not suitable for modern conflicts. A new system had to be adopted to deal with it, but under the new system, the shackles of the middle level were weakened. The top management of Nanhua believes that it is better to quickly absorb fresh blood than to exclude, so there is an all-round rise of the cold forces.
#
The rise of the Hanmen does not mean the rise of the common people's power. In this process, similar to the Three Kingdoms, a large number of capable people in the middle are appointed, but the bottom is more oppressed and dominated by the state system.
In times of peace, those who strive to acquire knowledge begin to rise at this time. In peacetime, the poor, who lacked sufficient knowledge, were brought to the front, while the small-rich were severely reduced in wealth, and those who played an important role in maintaining social functions were guaranteed status by the state.
#
Such a phenomenon occurred in the process.
Before the solar calendar 30 years ago, the natives of Nanyang still had a certain right to speak in the discourse of Nanyang society, and now the discourse power of these people has shrunk significantly. In their place were the Hanmen forces that migrated from the mainland.
These people who migrated from the mainland were more or less influenced by the revolutionary culture of the Five Star Alliance, even though they were defeated from the mainland due to the struggle for power. But ideological change is subtle. Better than the local culture that has not changed. Throughout the era of peace, these poor families invested more in education than in Nanhua, and their attitudes towards labor and knowledge were also highly valued, regarded as fundamental. Rather than placing too much emphasis on property and business connections, as in Nanhua.
#
Nanyang took the lead in initiating a new capitalist system of personality and relied on force to implement this system. Thus the poison spread to the whole world. But it is extremely ironic that a large number of people brought from the mainland by the South China Military Government, which is the foundation of the South China Military Government, are very cautious about selling their positions.
In the culture of the upper echelons of this society, there is even a saying that 'a minister is not a slave'. At most, it is a shallow personality position, just so that the boss can understand his emotions. Don't allow yourself to be in full control of your thoughts.
#
Newcomers and locals have very different homeschooling cultural differences.
It can be explained as the historical process of the democratic revolution at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the historical process of the new democratic revolution in the Wuxing District. It has had a wide-ranging impact on the entire population of East Asia. Embracing the new thinking, it is difficult to expel it
In the face of Lu Qiong's personality policy, although the civilians from the Asian continent did not adopt violent resistance on the surface, they were in a resistive attitude towards being reduced to Qing-style slaves.
#
The cultural differences brought about by this historical process, if they were in peacetime, would have been slowly assimilated by the local people after a hundred or two hundred years.
But the war came, and it came very quickly, bringing a crisis to the Nanyang Federation. In order to cope with the crisis, we had to change, and thus verified the strength and weakness of the culture.
This is a very interesting situation, and now there is a cold resistance to the personality position policy, and there is no willingness to sell all the personality positions to the upper people. But it is a group of descendants that the entire Nanyang ruling group has to rely on.
#
After 20 years in the solar calendar, Lu Qiong's military group has been focusing its work on Hanmen.
On the one hand, they tried every means to strengthen the control of the Hanmen and preach the theory of loyalty and loyalty. I want to let the poor door move closer to him, and sell his personality position in a shallow way now, and sell his personality position more deeply.
On the other hand, it is in the process of suppressing local wealthy families. In the support of the poor door. In a word, Lu Qiong treats the local wealthy family like he treats some men with a straight face, while he treats the poor family like a concubine and has a high degree of control.
#
The reason for all this lies in the value of people.
Because without these talents who have risen from humble backgrounds, Gengen will not be able to update the current military technology.
Ground mechanized forces, space fleet, merchant marine, asteroid development. The maintenance of all these technical chains ultimately depends on the natural person where the poor family is located. Cyborgs passively understand, and inherently deal with problems too procedurally. It's hard to think diversely.
And the natural person who sells his personality position too early, indulges in the virtual world, and has a low ability to face problems and solve complex problems in the real world.
Only at the beginning of the solar calendar, family education attached great importance to learning, and the combination of world view and natural science and rationality could help Lu Qiong maintain his rule.
#
Even in the Nanyang Group, in order to attract talents, the top management does not use personality as control over a very small number of people. Let him redeem his personality and buy it back, and then the two sides will maintain a teacher-student relationship that is better than a subordinate relationship. Of course, this is only for a very small number of people, and it is still under control for the majority of people.
And the very few people who have successfully escaped control do not have the ability to challenge this system, so they follow this system to obtain rights, and this group of people who have obtained rights is precisely the most die-hard group of people in the entire power system.
For the superiors, this model stimulates the enthusiasm of internal talents. In order to stand in the center of the group, internal talents will be more active in contributing to the group. In addition to Lu Qiong Group in Nanhua, Zhao Qingxun, Cui Moran, and Chu Cangxia Group. There is a degree of competition between these groups. Therefore, there are people who are not bound by personality, but have influence on high-level decision-making.
He Kong is such an existence around Lu Qiong, and He Fangxuan is nominally a student of He Kong, but in fact, he is now the main planner and executor of He Kong's plan, and even the most critical operator.

It is very difficult for a society to progress, and it is also very difficult for the whole world to regress. Perverse is against the number of days.
