National Juggernaut

Chapter 445 The Turning Point

The war has begun.

At this moment, all creatures subconsciously realized that the world was crying.

Perhaps the small world of the Old Days Islands is too small, or the two high-dimensional beings at war are wasting their power too much. The space in this sea area is trembling slightly, as if something has been smashed to pieces.

"Are they throwing space destruction level power at each other?"

"How did you do it, the sense of time and space began to be dislocated."

"I just got the news from my hometown that the two true gods collided directly, and the surrounding sea water was evaporated by the impact of spiritual energy, and the foreign chickens who tried to intervene in the battlefield were instantly finished."

There are all kinds of jokes on the Internet, but reliable news cannot exist.

"...The first phase of the plan was successful. We have to hurry up."

Lu Sanqi beside him said something thoughtlessly, but Zheng Li was relieved.

Since the "Resonance" calculator said that the war has achieved a phased victory, at least everything is fine for now.

Zheng Li smiled, and didn't ask any further questions, the other party would reveal what he could reveal, and it would be useless to ask what he couldn't.

In mid-air, the two top fighters looked at each other and fought together again.
But many people's minds are no longer here.

Gossip is flying all over the sky, but it is impossible to pass on the real information. There is a war over there, whoever has the ability to directly broadcast it live.

Zheng Li even suspected that those resonance calculators were well protected and would not be placed in too dangerous areas.

Recently, he feels more and more that these "resonators" are important, and they can transmit messages across space and distance without much delay, which is really delicious.

"How far is your limit, if you can't say it, forget it"

Halfway through the speech, Zheng Li shook his head. His curiosity was a bit too much. It might involve military secrets.

"There is nothing that can't be said. It's probably 'within the radiation range of the big city', but it can be transferred in the middle. For example, I am directly communicating with Xingping City through my two brothers."

Zheng Li nodded. The radiation range of Dacheng is already quite scary. It is the sixth ring instead of the fourth ring!
The transmission in the outer cities used to rely on wired communication. The psychic network has loads that can greatly reduce the consumption and dissipation probability, but in fact it is only limited to the core sphere of influence of each city. Daily maintenance and public security require a lot of manpower, military power, Financial resources are basically the bulk of official fiscal expenditures.

What it shows is the post stations, military passages, and front-line fortresses of Shiqian City. This also means that the sphere of influence of the big city, and the influence circles of other worlds that it spreads and extends to are all its own territory.

They maintain control over these areas, naturally because more income is higher than expenditure, not just more living space. When a race starts to regard other different spaces as resources and wealth, it is very easy for him to It is hard to say that it is a weak race that only fights for survival.

This is the arena of the gods. Every individual and every ethnic group is fighting for the right to survive and reproduce. If you want to be arrogant and simply divide them into justice and evil, you must stand on a higher perspective, but Now, all life, including gods, is still coughing in the quagmire. Far from it, communication is far more important than everyone’s common sense. Its development directly limits the boundaries of races, countries, and living space. The upper limit of the development of a group.

Digging pipelines on the ground and underground, using precious spiritual materials as wires, and setting up legions and defensive garrisons along the way is undoubtedly a waste of extravagant resources, but it is indeed a necessary investment.

Compared with the long-term maintenance and personnel consumption after the event, the astronomical figures of pipelines, information, and transportation costs are not the same thing. What really kills is the long-term garrison and maintenance. The number of people sacrificed by the military and transportation departments every year is really quite a lot , not counting those damaged folk forces.

There are several special communication technologies for emergencies, but they cannot become the mainstream, simply because resource consumption and manpower consumption are more terrible than "wiring".

Both the "wire" and "post station" are limited to the surrounding area of ​​the big city. In fact, it is also the actual control territory of the big city. The manpower and wealth of the big city are limited. Naturally, it is impossible to build a permanent route to other big cities. The resource consumption is terrible. It's one thing, it's another thing not to be able to pay back and be sustainable, and it's another thing to forcibly control a vast wild area and cause more trouble.

The last possibility is actually the deadliest.

For example, the "space distance" with the Double Star Race is too close, and one jump will come over. If your territory expands to almost limitless, and a certain area is close to another world, the opposite side may jump over. Do you care or not? ?And what if the ones who jump over are not intelligent groups, but super beasts without intelligence, such as natural disaster behemoths like the Autumn Festival?

The current human "enfeoffment system" is actually determined by the current technological environment and productivity. One of the determining factors is the seemingly unimportant restrictions on transportation and information communication.

The ranger regiment that may be established in the future may improve traffic and build a stable communication channel. As long as the resonance calculator is properly matched, it can establish an actual control area that is at least ten times the territory of the digital city. Improve communication between major cities.

There must be communication and communication before we can achieve cooperation and unity. As a "legacy" from the old era, Zheng Li sees farther than most of them. He thinks that the resonance calculator in front of him probably doesn't know the meaning of these changes. wearing something.

"A time is changing"

Whispering in a low voice, but saw through the time limit.

The expansion strategy has brought about a shortage of manpower and resources, but it means that it is necessary to ask for it from other big cities, and the resources obtained by the expansion strategy will naturally be delivered to the other five cities as a reward.

With this back and forth, the connection between each other will be greatly strengthened, and in order to deal with the war, the alliance between the six cities will inevitably be strengthened. There is a substantial joint demand, and the rest is actually a technical problem.

Zheng Li suspects that as long as the interests are strong and the capital can be paid back in the end, there may be a golden road that will be paved to the other five cities. In fact, Xiujiang and Shiqian are on the same route, and the strength of the three cities Let's start with one, there is a theoretical possibility.

"It's just possible, not very likely. It will take a hundred years of strategic level, and we need to deter the surrounding races, so that we can develop so easily."

The birth of the Resonance Calculator and the Ranger Legion will provide a possibility, a possibility of skipping the century-old project.

Before this century-old project, the greatly enhanced transportation and communication capabilities may bring the six cities together in a more secret way, and even complete a future that no one dared to imagine before.

Perhaps, in my own generation, there are people who can see the birth of "historical events".

"Is it a human federation in the middle of the Eastern Continent? A country?"
-
Zheng Li's ideas seem too radical?In fact, he has already discovered many omens.

For example, the joint headquarters, for example, the various strengthening ties among the young fighters, especially this rookie competition, all have a bit of a sorority flavor.

And if these can still be explained, then it is too obvious that the major cities have started to compile new contact signal books and recognize each other's military ranks.

If this can still be explained, then, allowing soldiers and fighters from other big cities to obtain honorary ranks in this city, retain their military achievements in the local area, and even open the treasury to pay them is to give them the same treatment as soldiers in this city. Resources are limited. Give it up to "foreigners", how can you convince the public internally if you don't give an explanation.

The opening of the treasury is too much. The information on the precious materials in the treasury, the disclosure of the confidential information related to the sword master and the advancement of the spirit blade, is the biggest gift. Xingping City made the beginning, and then other city-states followed. There will be much less internal resistance.

The sharing of databases and data bases will also bring about a soaring increase in the technology and overall strength of Central China United.

What Zheng Li knew was not only that Xingping City retained the military merits and equivalent honorary ranks of the young sword masters, but this honorary rank was also recognized by the other five cities.

"In order to adapt to the development of the new era, cities should strengthen their connections."

This is a piece of nonsense on the official level, a cliché that has been quoted by countless speeches, but it condenses too much information and possibilities.

It is of course necessary to strengthen contact and contact, but to what extent, I am afraid no one can determine, and can only be revised continuously according to the development of time and situation.

Whether it is still a fragmented city-state system, which only strengthens regular contact and covenants with each other, or forms a relatively loose federal state to face internal and external pressures together. No one can determine the future development, but it is foreseeable that with technological progress , external pressure has increased, and strengthening cooperation and covenants with each other has become the consensus of most city executives.

"... Our living space is not enough?"

Suddenly, Zheng Li realized this reality.

Power brings peace, peace brings prosperity, prosperity brings more population, and more population brings more demand for resources and space.

In Shiqian City, the youngest city, the fourth ring road has already been expanded to the limit. It is planned to forcibly expand several kilometers in the next ten years to create a quasi-safety zone with the [-] ring road.

Humans in the central region have not experienced a war for a long time. I am afraid that the population has doubled several times. The digital city has used a large number of satellite cities to disperse the population. Yanzhou has even set its sights on other city-states in the central region, and it will definitely be doing similar things.

The needs of the race, the aspirations of the entire ethnic group, are orders that no politician can refuse.

Human beings who are terrified want to live a better life, to be safer, to be richer, to have more life choices, to live with more dignity, and to regain everything they have lost. When these desires come together, they become the so-called general trend.

And the general trend of the future has really become the so-called "historical torrent", it is extremely stupid to hinder it and ignore it, what will happen next, and what should I do.
At this moment, Zheng Licai really realized what everything in front of him represented.

"Humanity is beginning to enter into an active policy, positive in all respects"

Not far away, there was a scene of peace. The fighters of the Double Star Clan and the human sword master were exchanging each other's tactical experience. The previous "competition" made the two powerful clans recognize each other.

And farther away, a temporary market was set up. At this time, humans saw the strength of the Double Star Clan's armed forces, and the human-made spiritual weapons and spirit crystals recognized by the Double Star Clan made the transaction much smoother.

".Establish a more solid alliance with foreigners who can communicate and covenant, at least reducing the possibility of making enemies on all sides."

"Lu Sanqi" was talking happily with the leader of the foreign clan, noticed Zheng Li's gaze, and nodded with a smile.

And farther away, two god-level giants are fighting to the death, and the aftermath of their fight can even be transmitted here, and the mission of his party is to slightly affect the environment of their battle. At this moment, Zheng Li relaxed instead. .

When a person realizes that he is just an insignificant brick in a grand cause, there is naturally less pressure.

"Our 'diplomacy' this time is not only here to bring in reinforcements, but also to get closer to our future 'neighbors', at least to make them familiar, so as to facilitate future contact. As for a group of friendly exchanges, it is natural to retaliate. Granted, taking back lost lands and peoples is a very 'just' start."

Thinking and hesitating, Zheng Li became more and more aware that he might have unknowingly stood in the center of the stage.

If this is a historical event, then the team competition of the Hunting and Killing Autumn Celebration is definitely a key historical node, and as a joint publicity star, Zheng Li's video tape and spirit crystal card have received super-standard treatment, but It is foreseen that it will be sold and spread widely.

Unintentionally, he became a benchmark, a representative symbol in the eyes of young people, a grassroots star with no family, business, or official backing. Zheng Li himself admits that such a role positioning is the easiest to resonate with.

What should I do next?Is it to retreat bravely, find a rural area to use your own ability to accumulate resources, and wait for the moment when you will soar into the sky?
Or take advantage of the general trend to face the difficulties and climb up at ten times or even a hundred times the usual speed. Zheng Li thought deeply, this is not a good choice to make a decision.

But at the moment of his hesitation, inexplicably, the scenery of a dilapidated dojo outside the fourth ring suddenly flashed in his mind.

Along with it, there are naturally smiling faces, which are my only warmth when I am in the most desperate situation.

Zheng Li turned his head abruptly, 'her' granddaughter was still on the boat over there, looking at the dazzling array of foreign goods, noticing the eyes of the head of the group, and immediately responded with a shabby but polite smile. Zheng Li also showed a wry smile. , and then gave her some money.

This kid is much better than other little bastards. He has never asked himself for pocket money.
"Hey, we'd better wait for 'her' to come out and then determine the seniority. She definitely won't be willing to be a grandma. At most, she will be called elder sister, if not, she will be called eldest sister."

The impression in my mind became clearer, as if 'she' had returned to me again, and the familiar nagging continued.
At this moment, Zheng Li realized what he was missing all along.
So, do you still have to hesitate?Do you have a choice if you owe so much?

".I, I don't have a choice."

Afraid of the cheeks, he cheered up, Zheng Li took the wine bottle and went directly to the place where the Double Star Clan gathered. With the previous performance of winning streak as a business card, Zheng Li didn't have to worry about being coldly received among the martial arts Double Star Clan.

Now that everyone is here, don't make everyone unhappy with a bitter face. Now that the bosses have paid enough, let's engage in that kind of diplomacy happily.

Maybe, this good reputation among friendly foreigners can make the reinforcements a little more active when it is really needed, and maybe even save his own life.
