065, the return of the fire

It is said that Shui Feng led the water along the water, the water shower waves, and the sea tide to defeat the Fire Clan, and quickly moved to triumph. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

War is the most brutal, and this is from the point of view of ordinary soldiers and civilians.

From the point of view of military strategists, or warmongers: war, is the most exciting.

From the perspective of a politician: war is a continuation of political economy, political economy is a necessary component, and it is political and economic needs that determine whether to wage war.

Therefore, it is a politician's business to be able to assess the appropriateness and gains and losses of a war most accurately.

Military strategists, ordinary soldiers, and civilians cannot accurately assess the full picture of a war.

This is because, in terms of benefits alone, the war has the greatest gains.

If the war is won, everything the loser has to be taken: food, arms, prisoners, women, and even the life and death of all the tribes will be decided by the winning side.

If defeated, the same will be the opposite.

Therefore, the benefits of war are likely to be the highest, and the risks are also the greatest.

In this world, there is no such thing as a high-yield, low-risk investment.

High returns are inevitably accompanied by high risks, and to reduce risks, returns are bound to decrease.

Just like the earth's human investment in finance: if you put money in the bank as a savings deposit, the interest return is the lowest, but it is the safest, and the possibility of loss is the smallest; investing in stocks, the return on income is the highest, but you may not get such a high return, and you may even accompany the capital.

The biggest puzzle for people on earth is that they cannot find an investment channel as high as stock returns and as reliable as bank savings deposits.

The greatest stupidity of earthlings is that they have always believed and searched for an investment channel that is as high as stock returns and as reliable as bank savings deposits.

And this is something that you can't find at all - because it doesn't exist.

However, earthlings are just ordinary ordinary people who commit this kind of stupidity.

However, those who manipulate the stock market can find relatively similar investment channels.

Believe it or not, the reason is brutal:

First, the financial predators are smarter than us ordinary people.

This, it's useless for you to shout, the vast majority of rich people are very smart people, not a group of fat-brained pigs you see and imagine.

Second, the capital predators stand at a higher angle than us, think more things than us, and work deeper than us.

Don't think that if you sit in front of the computer and look at stocks every day, you will be rewarded if you work as hard as you do your homework. You're just one person, and those money tycoons don't sit in front of the computer, but they hire a large number of people to sit in front of the computer and watch.

What you see is only the immediate stock changes, and the capital predators will focus on higher things, such as the direction of the political wind, the overall trend of the economy, the study of opponents, etc., and these are not something that can be done by individuals.

The same is true for war.

Defeat the Fire Clan, all the water tribes who fought were very happy, but the levels were different, some high and some low.

Haixi is just glad that the water tribe has finally escaped. In fact, his greater focus was on sympathizing with the Fire Clan.

Shui Linbo was happy, but the doubts in his heart were still not solved.

Shui Feng's happiness can be seen by anyone.

Shui Feng was in the water tribe, and he was originally a border guard, not the highest-level border guard, but only a middle and senior general. With this victory, promotion to senior general is inevitable.

The elders of the water tribe are all old, and after this catastrophe, many of them will retire due to exhaustion. In this case, with Shui Feng's military exploits, it is very easy to get the position of a patriarch.

Shuifeng's greatest joy lies in the war itself. He has been defending the border for many years, and the passivity of only defending but not attacking really makes him suffocated, so he has been planning and practicing offensive courses, just looking forward to one day being able to defend and attack.

The day has finally come, and it has come true, and much has been gained.

So, Shui Feng was very happy.

But Shui Feng's happiness lies only in the war itself. That is, he was just a military strategist.

To rise to the level of a politician, there is only one way to go along the water.

Shui Feng only knew that the young and strong men of the Fire Clan had died in battle, and they could no longer form an attack on the Water Clan.

And along the water, you can see how many boys are left in the Fire Clan, how old they are, what kind of economic structure and what kind of production mode they are given, and how much combat effectiveness they will form after many years. It's not just about the military aspect.

Shui Feng only knew that a lot of grain had been seized, that he had enough people to eat for how many days, and that he had solved a big problem for the tribe.

But Yanshui knows better how this grain should be distributed, whether it is to be distributed first by the army before the people or before the army, and whether it should be distributed in batches or gradually relieved.

In short, Shui Feng is a good hand at fighting, but he can only do it, how many men and horses you give me, how much supplies I can give, I can achieve any results.

And along the water, apparently the thought is more profound.

Especially this time, the Fire Clan was destroyed and a large amount of Fire Clan's armament materials were captured, so that the Shui Clan's armament power was resurrected with full blood. If you stick to it, it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, the gunpowder seized in it can only be used along the water.

And the power of artillery, everyone has experienced it several times.

Shui Feng didn't care about the seized gunpowder at first. During the interrogation of the women left behind by the Fire Clan, Shui Feng focused on interrogating how much gunpowder was left in the Fire Clan, how many artillery pieces were left, and how many cannons could be fired.

Who wouldn't want to master such a powerful weapon?

Pushing the artillery to the border pass and attacking the Tu or Mu tribe under the city, is it not much more powerful than relying on manual smashing wood and rolling stones?

This kind of simple offensive and defensive problem, Shui Feng will naturally think of it.

However, no matter how Shui Feng tortured the women of the Fire Clan, they all said that the Fire Clan had no gunpowder.

There were a lot of cannons left, but there were no shells, and there were piles of scrap metal.

- If the Fire Clan still had enough shells, the Aquatic wouldn't have attacked so easily, right?

Shui Feng recalled the situation of attacking the Flame Pass, Dongguan and Xiguan, especially the two cannons of the Fire Clan in the Flame Pass, and after thinking about it, it was obviously just to scare the Shui people, and there was no power, in fact, the reason was that the Fire Clan people did not have many shells left, and they would not use it until they were absolutely necessary.

Of course, Shui Feng will not believe these easily. He mobilized a lot of people to look for it.

Not to mention, I really found a large amount of black foam that resembled gunpowder.

However, the women of the Fire Clan said that it was only a half-finished product of gunpowder, not yet gunpowder, and that they did not believe in the point of fire, and sure enough, the torches could not be lit, let alone explode.

Shui Feng still didn't give up, found the women of the Rong family, the Lu family and the Yan family, and then tortured them.

Sure enough, these surnames were more professional in gunpowder after all, and further explained a message: this is indeed a semi-finished product of gunpowder and cannot be burned because it lacks one of the most important ingredients.

This ingredient is sulfur.

Shui Feng still didn't give up, sent someone to find some sulfur ore, tortured the women of Rongshi, Lushi and Yanshi again, and further got a message: the sulfur content of these ores is too low, most of them are impurities, and the purity of the extracted sulfur is too low to be used at all.

In short, if you keep trying to torture, you will continue to get new information, but the result has not changed: there are no shells.

Without shells, artillery is useless. That's all Shui Feng knows.

However, along the water said that he could purify the sulfur.

This made Shui Feng not only disappointed, but also hopeful, and at the same time faintly worried.

So, Shui Feng secretly consulted Shui Linbo's opinion.

Shui Linbo said: "Load the truck and transport it back." Anyway, so many cars were seized, and they were empty. Ship it back, forget it if it's useless. As soon as he can purify and use it, won't that strengthen our strength? Maybe the war will end early. ā€

Shui Feng asked, "But we don't know about artillery?"

Shui Linbo smiled: "We didn't know anything about artillery when we came." ā€

Shui Feng thought about it and smiled: "You mean ......"

Shui Linbo said: "The main problem in front of me is still like that, not along the water, but the ......" Shui Linbo stretched out his thumb and picked it up.

Shui Feng frowned: "It's the same...... What are we going to say when we go back?"

Shui Linbo spread his hands: "How can you say it?"

When the Shui people attacked the Fire Clan, in order to achieve the effect of surprise soldiers, the team was very lean and small.

When they returned after the victory, the team was so vast that there was no edge in sight.

The director of the Military Division, Shui Yu, was of course very happy to see such a team.

This does not include the crops of the Fire Clan that are about to ripen, which of course is also up to the Water Clan.

The director of the military department, Shui Yu, held a small welcome party in the center of the tribe to welcome the triumphant soldiers.

The welcome party was small, because Shui Junhan and a group of nobles of the Shui tribe went to the border to defend and were not at home.

The director of the military department was a little apologetic, saying that the scale was a little smaller.

But that's exactly what these people have in mind.

First of all, Haixi asked, "Is there any news from my sister and brother-in-law?"

The director of the Military Division, Shui Yu, smiled and said, "Yes, there has always been, I received a message of safety yesterday, and I asked how you are." ā€

Shui Linbo suddenly interjected: "They don't know that we won?"

The director of the military department paused for a moment and said, "I have not told them for reasons of secrecy. ā€

Shui Linbo glanced at Shui Feng.

Yanshui asked, "Is there any news from Shuiwen?"

The director of the military department, Shuiyu, said: "No. ā€

He slapped the table along the water, stood up, and said excitedly: "This shows that he has a problem!"

Shui Linbo glanced at Shui Feng again, and Shui Feng motioned for her not to say anything.

The director of the military department, Shui Yu, said: "Let's not care so much about it first, let's summarize this battle first." After speaking, he also glanced at Shui Feng.

Shui Feng smiled: "There's nothing too easy to summarize, it's a complete victory!"

Shui Yu, director of the Military Division, said: "I have read your last report and this report, and I have heard a lot from the heralds. In this adventure to fight the fire clan, Shui Feng is well commanded, and the merit is the first. Reward, it's a special period, it's hard to say, but there is one thing, I am ready to give you the position of the director of the military department as soon as possible......"

"Stop!" Shui Feng raised his hand to interrupt the water bath of the director of the Military Division, "You always sit steadily, the tribe can't do without you, we are only temporarily relieving the pressure, the top priority, not a reward......"

"The top priority is to immediately arrest Shuiwen!" "Yan Shui slapped the table again.
