In fact, after the hijacking of Ding Chen's shuttle plane was shot down by a robot missile, Ding Chen pondered a question, no matter how tight the air defense line in the Northwest Theater is, it is impossible to be foolproof - after all, the robot's aircraft does not need to consider the pilot's feelings, in fact, the performance is similar to that of the air defense missile, and it is not difficult to complete the air penetration, why do the robots honestly fight ground battles with humans and not make a robot version of the market garden plan?

Ding Chen didn't have an answer to this question, so at the beginning, Ding Chen could only figure it out by himself, but it also made him figure out a few reasons, but it wasn't until he met Rudolph that he didn't know what the real reason was. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Why did the human version of the Market Garden project fail? It is said that it was because of the encounter with the German armored forces and the untimely follow-up of the rear and the lack of rapid mobility ability, but the actual reasons can be summed up as nothing more than one, the logistics support ability cannot keep up, the fight cannot be fast, and the local advantage cannot be formed.

Therefore, there has never been a similar large-scale airborne operation in the history of human warfare, and even in the space age, the Republic of China dominates the orbital space station, and it has never played the parachute behind the enemy line on the scale of the whole division and the whole regiment, and all the airborne plans behind the enemy line must be carried out by relying on the airport, because there is a logistics problem that cannot be solved.

But in fact, there is a very embarrassing contradiction here, that is, the capture of the opponent's airfield also requires infantry, and if there is enough air superiority to support the infantry, then there is no urgent need for airborne.

This unsolvable problem is also present in the robotic version of the Market Garden Plan, and it is even more problematic.

Robots are first and foremost machines, they need maintenance, they need energy sources, and they can't be like humans who can't get out of the line of fire with minor injuries and serious injuries and still keep fighting, their parts don't turn or don't turn, there is no compromise, and the robot commander can't think of "using the spirit of fearless revolutionary optimism" to overcome difficulties.

As for the source of energy, it is even worse, people have no food to collect on the spot, and they can't really fill their stomachs with grass roots, bark and wild vegetables, but the robot must use a pure energy source, not to mention mixing water into oil, the master who is usually used to drinking No. 97 gasoline, you feed him No. 93 and immediately emit black smoke to show you. Battery-powered robots are also limited by the time it takes to recharge, making it almost impossible to move alone.

With the current situation that civilians outside the large gathering areas of the Republic basically rely on their legs to walk and communicate with their mouths, even if the robot troops can complete the air penetration, they will not be able to run far when they fall to the ground, and they will become decorations, not to mention electricity, they can't find gas stations, and they don't need the Republic to send troops to clean up after running out of energy.

Of course, the main gathering area that can replenish energy also has enough armed forces to protect it, and if the robot's combat units are airborne near the large gathering area, there will naturally be local armed forces to solve it, and no matter how bad it is, it can directly destroy the local energy reserves, and then everyone hides and waits for the robot troops to die.

For the current republic, it may be heart-wrenching if the second-level gathering area is destroyed, and there is no food in the second-level gathering area, so there is really nothing to worry about whether it will end up with the robots.

And if the robots could deploy enough troops to solve the self-defense capability of the second-level gathering area at one time, they would have liberated the world a long time ago, and there would be no need to tug and saw on the northwest front.

Although Rudolph did not say it explicitly, Ding Chen could still tell from his words that the government of the Republic has been reluctant to accept humans outside the gathering area, most likely because it is unwilling to carry the burden of protecting these people, and at the same time it needs someone to fill the wilderness.

It was obviously a cruel and inhuman decision rather than calling on the people to bring the refugees home, but it was the way of thinking of a competent ruler, especially in the face of interracial warfare.

When he first woke up in this era, Ding Chen thought that the entire society had regressed to the agricultural stage, and only a few lucky gathering areas were surviving.

However, after a trip to the Capital Region, he found that the overall level of science and technology in this era was not weak, so he speculated that it was only vested interests that were unwilling to share resources. After all, this is the reason for the war between Bencheng and the northern barbarians.

But since Cheng Bin took the refugees south and was later punished by the Bincheng authorities, Ding Chen found that although not everyone agreed with this theory, at least the managers of Bincheng still adhered to this tradition.

Now it seems that these reasons may only be superficial, and the real reason is likely to be because of this war. The republic's top brass is reluctant to devote limited resources to maintain the welfare of the common people, so they adopt a free-range policy, only wanting to gain benefits and refuse to take responsibility.

Ding Chen could not evaluate the quality of such a policy, and it was foolish to let the high welfare of civilians drag down the state apparatus. But it is clear that allowing civilians to struggle on the edge of the line of survival is not universal, and it is impossible to stand on the moral high ground.

In the eyes of those who are familiar with the history of warfare between robots and humans, the so-called artificial intelligence of robots is actually not very clever.

As far as the art of war is concerned, if the command ability of human beings is 100 points, then the command ability of robots is also 60 points, which is just a passing level, but the individual combat ability of robots is extremely strong, and the ability to react and perform tasks is much stronger than that of human armies, which effectively makes up for the lack of command ability.

In this war, almost from the very beginning, the robot army, which was deeply rooted in human society, did not give humans time to react and assemble, and directly wiped out the resistance forces of the European and American continents in one fell swoop with a devastating momentum.

On the one hand, the kung fu network that China has been investing heavily in maintaining has played a huge role, and on the other hand, it is also because of the artificial barriers set up by the East and the West in technology that China's mainstream artificial intelligence has a big gap with the West, and it has not awakened at the same time. As a result, the robot legion, which can be found in Europe, the United States and Africa, suddenly found that the distribution location of its own kind was a blank on the map of the Asian continent.

Then this torrent of steel from the rolling surface was at a loss under the powerful artillery fire of the human defense line in the east, and there was no further advance. If most of the Middle East's energy problems had not been solved, it would have come close to a fiasco.

During the entire war, the robots failed to show any eye-catching tactical abilities, basically the classic fighting style in the textbooks, the dignified array of brilliant soldiers, and then crushed with strength, and when the strength was not enough to achieve the effect of crushing, there would be no war.

Of course, in fact, robots are still very good at learning, in the years of confrontation with the human army, they also tried to learn the way of human warfare, and fought several beautiful local battles, but in the end, because they failed to achieve an overall breakthrough, they were subject to logistical capabilities, and they could only give up the results, so that the high-level leaders of the Republic and the Northwest Theater also found that they seemed to be teaching an apprentice who was ready to starve to death at any time, so they simply stopped using new tactics, This led to a situation of confrontation as ridiculous as the sit-down war before World War I.

So logically speaking, this robot's air raid is likely to be in revenge for the shuttle incident that Ding Chen took last time.

Ding Chen looked up and observed for a while, and found that the air battle was over, and the robot did not seem to have sent a large force, thinking that even if a combat unit was successfully airborne, the army in the Northwest Theater could solve it, so he decided to ignore it, until he encountered a rather tragic battlefield.
