If the top of the hill is just a fortress made of concrete and steel, then it is enough to besiege the enemy army - it is a big deal to evacuate the civilians, and the enemy who is entrenched in the cement and steel fortress will always need to eat, drink, and Lazar. Once they had exhausted their food and water, the battle was over.

But at the moment stuck on the top of the hill are the two main cruisers.

Despite the loss of airtightness due to the dismantling of the equipment, the two cruisers still had a sufficient amount of Yin Puxi dragon ore in their tinder compartments. If the officers in charge of the two cruisers had the most basic sense, they would have left enough fuel in the tinder compartment.

Enough fuel for the two cruisers to jump to other parts of Saxony.

Although it is not possible to enter deep space again, although they are not even capital ships...... But they are still the most lethal weapons systems that humanity can ever create. It was impossible to destroy it with Rosen's tanks and infantry alone.

After listening to Rosen's report, Duchamp asked, "So, are you sure that the use of full fire coverage is the only way to achieve tactical objectives?" ”

Lawson was a little confused by this question, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "This is the most effective method I can think of at the moment." ”

Duchamp did not immediately take a position on Rosen's answer, he nodded slightly and asked, "In this tactical context, what posture should we take towards the enemy's firepower points?" ”

"Elimination or negotiation or even capture are acceptable means, and according to your orders, in order to seize the time, you should think about extermination first." Rosen replied, "Negotiation or capture requires contact with the other side and negotiation, and the process is too long. ”

"If we can reach a ceasefire agreement with the other side at the first contact, this is also acceptable." Duchamp gave a brief assessment of the other two Eucalyptus and said, "Since you are determined to destroy, and you are even prepared to use the strike method of the fleet's precision fire coverage...... So, do you have any other ways to destroy enemy fire? ”

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

“…… I don't know. Rosen shook his head and replied, "Tanks and other army weapons can't accomplish the purpose of destroying enemy targets, so I decided to ask the fleet to strike." ”

"So, your aim should be to ask the fleet to strike, not to ask the fleet to carry out precise and comprehensive fire coverage." Duchamp nodded, "In the future, in an area that you don't know or are not good at, you should ask a specific problem and let the other party come up with a solution—instead of proposing a solution for the other party when you give a request or order." ”

"To eliminate such targets, the fleet repeatedly jumps to carry out artillery strikes is the riskiest and least inefficient method." Duchamp unceremoniously criticized, "What can be solved with a few rounds of special ammunition, don't let the whole fleet take risks." ”

The special ammunition Duchamp mentioned came from an order from the naval fleet of the Newsal garrison, and it was also a batch of experimental shells produced by the University of Newsal on the basis of the theory specially proposed by the garrison and the experts of the Belford automatic car factory for more than four months.

The use of these shells is limited to planetary gravity circles with at least one standard gravity (based on the gravitational acceleration of Newsar). The shell has a device that can heat the Imp Silon to the transition temperature in a very short time, and the stable tail design and internal sliding structure on the body of the bomb can ensure that the geometric transition direction of the Imp Silon Mine is always perpendicular to the direction of the planet's gravity after the cannon is ejected.

After the shell hits the target, the dry ice loaded in advance inside the shell will hit the heated Yin Puxi Dragon Ore directly, causing the heating to stop automatically. Taking into account changes such as the possibility of ricochet shells, the theoretical armor-piercing range of such special ammunition is about five jols.

As a munition that takes advantage of the characteristics of the Yin Puxi Dragon Mine, the effect of the special artillery shell is not stable enough, and the manufacturing cost is ridiculously high. But the good thing is that its damage range is large enough, and the damage effect is almost impossible to defend.

"As the commander of an army detachment within the expeditionary force, even if you have little interest in the fleet, you should at least ask the fleet commander and staff officers first." Duchamp said seriously to Rosen, "The scale of the armed forces of Newsar is not very large, if you still have the idea that 'the army and navy do not share the sky', how can you protect the people on Newsar in the future?" ”

The purchase of the commercial bank went exceptionally well, something that Lorraine and Schultz did not expect.

There was no desperate sniping from other banks, and no harassment from the rest of Orin's administration. Even in the final offer session, in the hall where the Marquis de Schwart had booked, only another bank that tried to quote the purchase finally appeared.

And after seeing Schultz and Lorraine, who represented Olin Development Bank, the other party left the hall without hesitation - without even submitting a quotation.

"I think you're the ones who are going to buy a commercial bank." The Marquis de Chowart was also somewhat disappointed with the current scene. After all, only if many buyers are interested in commercial banks, he can recover some more costs.

Yes, the Marquis de Schwaratt himself was well aware that at the time of his own haste to sell assets...... The selling price is often not too high. His expectations for this are very realistic – as long as he can lose a little bit.

"Probably the only buyer." Schultz shook hands with the marquise, then handed over the quotation he had prepared, "I hope you are satisfied with this offer." ”

The offer given by Olin Development Bank is actually quite generous - the offer of 1.25 million gold pounds should be the highest level in the entire Olin financial circle.

But they had an additional condition, which made Monsieur Marquis hesitate a little.

"I can understand that you, as a newly opened bank, are trying to buy commercial banks to add more credibility to yourself." Mr. Marquis looked at the quotation in his hand and the additional requirements and hesitated, "But why would you want to buy the Russell Gear Factory?" ”

"First of all, it's not that I don't plan to sell this factory." "I just don't understand why, after proposing a sale of 1,250,000 gold pounds, you would want to buy a factory worth only 100,000 gold pounds," quickly added. ”

Lorraine smiled and said, "Of course, because we are very optimistic about the future of this factory." ”

"Of course, if you're not willing to sell, that's perfectly acceptable." Schultz coughed lightly, as if he was making a round for his boss, who was "young and ignorant of the world, and had no advantages except for good looks", "After all, although the Russel Gear Factory is doing well now, it relies on the low-price strategy to make achievements in Olin industrial equipment." The Russell Gear Factory's production line was only able to make relatively large gears, which left it with no chance of expanding its business into the more profitable civilian sector. ”

"Then what was your reason for buying the Russell Gear Factory?" Monsieur Marquis was indeed tricked, and he followed Schultz's words and asked, "With all due respect, such a factory is of very limited value in itself, but it nevertheless provides jobs for thousands of my lords. If you're going to tear it down and sell it, there's no way I'm going to think about selling it - it's a small margin, but it's at least a safe place for my territory. ”

"You can rest assured." Schultz smiled with a "I have a conspiracy" and said in a low voice, "We intend to reduce the rents of all mine financial leasing operations, and then make the Russell Gear Works the only designated parts supplier for these machines – and then increase the ex-factory prices of the Russell Gear Works." ”

"If it's convenient, we'll also increase the rate of defective products in the factory a little bit." Lorraine followed suit, "When the workers are busy, lower wages and recruit more employees – that will maximize profits!" ”

Mr. Marquise's expression changed from shock to complexity to admiration, and he patted Schultz on the shoulder and exclaimed, "If you want to say bad, you bankers have to be bad!" ”

"The Russell Gear Plant is one of the central points for the next step." At the meeting to celebrate the successful acquisition, Lorraine said to the members of Central Tek with a serious expression, "We need a group of grassroots leaders who have factory experience, but also have strong organizational skills and personal charisma - you will be responsible for carrying out Dussandist propaganda in the Russell gear factory and organizing strikes when the time is right." ”

"At the same time, we also need three members who have a lot of experience in plant operations." Schultz adds, "You need to be in charge of the normal management of the factories and squeeze the workers – to make them the right seedbeds for Dussandism." ”

Many of the members of the Central Special Branch in the room seemed to be hesitant, not because they were picky about the work, but because they all felt that it was not necessary to give up the work at hand and go on to the theoretical development and factory operation.

"It's a very difficult job, but for us, it may even be more important than acquiring a commercial bank." Lorraine looked a little cold, so she continued, "I hope that the people involved in this work are ready to dedicate their lives to our cause." Whether it's a grassroots leader or a manager who is being lifted to the stage as a target, you will all be in danger of your life in the process of working. ”

No one is stupid, but none of the members of the Central Special Branch are "normal people". After hearing about this "danger", they became positive.

"These adherents of Dussandism, these awakened proletarian workers, you have developed, are the foundation of our next development. Only when more and more workers recognize the reality and find themselves being exploited by the factories, the factory owners, the capitalists and even the state will we be able to successfully extricate them from the status quo. Lorraine continued, "Comrades, the prerequisite for solving a problem is to admit that it exists. If we can't make people aware of the existence of exploitation, if we can't make them realize the huge gulf that injustice creates for society as a whole, then ...... Our work is not at all. ”

"If it might even happen...... When we tried to free the workers from the shackles, they turned around and blamed us for our situation. "They will be angry and will blame us for leaving them unemployed and unable to support their wives and children." It will feel like we are ruining their already difficult lives. ”

"In order to avoid such a situation, we need a few comrades who dare to risk their lives to work in the gear factory for the sake of their careers." Scholz's voice was lowered, "Comrades who are willing to do so are invited to apply directly to me after the meeting." If there is a vacancy, I will fill it myself. ”

"Comrades, our goal has always been one – to liberate all mankind." Lorraine stood up and said, "And the proletariat, the proletariat loses only the yoke, and what they gain will be the whole universe!" ”

"Proletarians of the whole world, unite!"
