"Look around you, what's the biggest feeling?"

Li Oz turned his head to look at the empty street, and a few pedestrians hurriedly passed by, looking particularly deserted.

"—Depression." "It's like the financial crisis, and you can't see a few aliens crawling around on the streets," Li said. ”

"Yes, you understand about it, that's the truth." "The mercenary city-state of Van Lenkov, 15 years ago, the "United Group" planned to buy this city-state, but was rejected by the leader Kalmetz. ”

Olafur sent a document to Leoz, in which a record of the visit of Shurgo Comberni, the project manager sent by the "United Group", began to be played.

In just one year, Veraz, a subsidiary of the "United Group", sent 45,000 employees and seven leaders to Van Lenkov, and it was obvious that the acquisition of the mercenary city-state was inevitable.

"The acquisition was rejected, and in less than half a year, the Van Lenkov Autonomous State began to have a broken capital chain, a contraction of orders, coupled with the failure of successive campaigns, and a surge in the number of dead soldiers, and from that time on, Van Lenkov's alien no longer had strong combat effectiveness."

Stopped cleaning machines are slumped in the streets, garbage is piled up everywhere, a large number of shops are closed, and only the candy shops and taverns run by aliens are still thriving here.

"At this time, the families of the fallen who had been kind-hearted suddenly gathered and demanded pensions from the Supreme Army in an organized and planned manner, which, together with the protests of various regions, directly wiped out the treasury of the Van Lenkov Autonomous State."

The protest slogans and signs were thrown out of the trash cans, and the homeless man picked them up and threw them into the bonfire, the light of the fire stained his weathered and poor face orange, and the heat thawed his countenance, and without saying a word, the homeless man took a medal ribbon from his bosom, threw it into the flames, and watched it curl and burn.

"That sounds like a good thing, right?" Li Oz asked casually: "The narrative level civilization should give a lot of money. ”

"You opened a barbecue restaurant, although the shop is small, but you have good craftsmanship, you have ancestral secret recipes, the customer flow is increasing day by day, and it is very popular, I decided to spend a lot of money to buy it - do you think I spent money to buy your barbecue restaurant for your customer traffic and secret recipe, or do you want your little bit of less than 20,000 ammonium gold façade?"

Olafur sneered:

"The acquisition of the "United Group" is a good thing for a professional mercenary group, but for the mercenary city-state, it is a catastrophe."

"How so?" Li Oz asked.

"The reason why the mercenary city-states can gain a foothold is that through their own efforts and accumulation, they already have their own business channels and customer relationship networks, these things are Phoenix that can lay eggs - and the "United Group" wants this, do you think the narrative-level civilization maps the combat power of these aliens?"

Olafur said disdainfully:

"Except for the C3 Luka-type cosmic human race, how can there be any natural fighting race? Wars have always been fought with comprehensive national strength. The aliens made their fortune in the war, and thinking they could win forever, they threw away their wrenches and were overgrown with weapons. His own rations, equipment, and ammunition were all bought from others. ”

"I understand that an army that cannot be self-sufficient, and once it is logistically choked, it will never fight again." Li Aozi spread his hands: "However, it won't be so miserable in the end, right?" Narrative-level civilization will give a lot of money, just do two orders of business, the small life should not be bad, right? ”

"Once acquired, those alien legions will be immediately dismantled and dismantled, and they will be hidden, and the "United Group" 686870 will send their own trained mercenaries to go into battle in a shell, and through the network of connections they have mastered, they will flow for a long time."

Olafur disdain:

"You expect a narrative civilization to be more 'civilized'? The more powerful the civilization, the more domineering and hooligan. If barbarism is rudely cutting off your head, then civilization is skinning you and saying 'sorry for the slippery hand'. ”

"But in this way, won't Van Lenkov's alien be unemployed?"

Li Oz glanced at the storefronts on the street:

"There's no one in this place to produce, clothing stores, restaurants, all of them can be done by aliens. I didn't see a xenomorph open a shop on its own, but when I entered the port, I saw a battle sequence sailing outward. These aliens don't have the ability to produce labor, do they? ”

"Of course, the current Van Lenkov alien has no real ability. They can only continue to intensify public opinion propaganda and pretend to be powerful and murderous, so that the employer will continue to hire them, even if they themselves have run out of ammunition and food, even if they are physically jumping, they have to go to the battlefield. ”

Olafur teased:

"If this continues, I'm afraid there is no need for the "United Group" to take action, and these aliens should be exhausted by themselves. If I were manager of Shurgo Compani, I would have to kowtow to Red King and thank God for his blessing. ”

Li Oz raised his eyebrows in the warp of time and space:

"Didn't you say that you don't make jokes about the gods?"

"Ahem—"

Olafur coughed and immediately changed the subject:

"Aliens don't have the production capacity, no one knows why, in short, they just can't teach. If you're interested, you can look it up. Let's talk about what you do. ”

Olafur had little interest or affection for these aliens, who were already in the process of dying slowly.

But no one is too much to make money.

"When it comes to narrative-level civilizations, things can be complicated. There are a lot of forces in this, there are the priests of Red King, the managers of the Verazzi Company, and there are a lot of chaotic small groups, you see, narrative civilization...... There are a lot of strong people, and there are a lot of younger brothers who follow the eldest brother, so I'll briefly state what you're going to do. ”

Olafur thought for a moment and stated simply:

"Kalmetz, the leader of the Supreme Regiments of Van Lenkov, he had two sons, a daughter. Someone doesn't want them to end their family, so they need your help. ”

"Save people." Li Aozi knew it in his heart, but he still said deliberately: "I'm not very good at helping the weak." ”

"Now you go and let that dark elf who is traveling with you take the ship and send his heir to the fire wolf star on the Tetus Nebula, where will someone take care of it."

Olafur Says:

"It's more merciful for you to kill their father."

"The child stays, and the father dies."

Strange orders, strange practices, strange countries, strange fates.

You, a lone ranger, got involved in this dispute because of an accident, and under the grand narrative, all the narrow children's love looks ridiculous and pitiful.

Even in a country where the grass was cleared, when the smoke of burning blood and fat was everywhere, when machinery was misused and the aborigines were expelled, even in a country like this, spring was still spring. (Note (1))

A kingdom that is about to collapse will not be sympathetic to it.

No one was born a warrior, but the people stepped forward and left behind the back of a hero. (Note (2))

While you don't have any sympathy for the aliens, there's more than enough to do for you.

Note (2): From the song "Солдатамиумирают"

Original sentence:

Солдатамиумирают (No one is born a warrior)

Солдатаминерождаются (but we can die like soldiers)
