National Juggernaut

Chapter 577 Placement
The biggest difference between real wars and legendary stories is probably that "there are no heroes", or "everyone is (not) a hero".

Once the magic box of war is opened, it is impossible to win or lose in a short period of time. When war becomes a decisive battle between races, it is normal to fight for hundreds of years. Only one side is completely wiped out, or both sides suffer If you don't lose, you can stop.

In countless worlds, the flames of war have been ignited again, and the two sides are competing for the overall national strength of the race's resources, accumulation, manpower reserve, etc.

Super powerful?In fact, in this kind of big clan war, they are not that important. Even if God Ater appears on the front line, it will definitely be his death.

The human side will send out the top combat power at all costs, and forcefully take him down regardless of losses. No matter how strong he is, he will end in perish.

In fact, before the war enters the middle and late stages, the human side does not have to worry about seeing the god Atel appear on the battlefield.

At the same time, once the big clans occupying countless worlds go to war, it means an inevitable war of attrition and upgrading. Both sides will continue to upgrade the intensity of the war and their own technical reserves. Whoever can't keep up with the speed of progress, or the war resources can't keep up, will naturally lose everything.

Or to put it bluntly, wars in reality have never been "fighting games" or "shooting games", but "strategy" and "farming" games.

Whoever wins and who loses is never more brave than that race, but who has stronger war potential and richer family background.

The gap between psychic power and individual combat power does not present the reality that "miscellaneous soldiers" are useless. In the cruel arena of the gods, since there is a way to upgrade the combat power of the masses and civilians, there is no reason to hide it. Being strong is indeed an advantage, but it does not conflict with the evolution of the group.

On the contrary, enough "miscellaneous soldiers" are more likely to produce advanced combat power.

In the face of hundreds of millions of mid-to-high-end combat forces, even the highest-end high-dimensional gods in the arena of the gods dare not appear on the battlefield at will. Human beings are willing to spare no effort to encircle and suppress it, and it will not become a century-old disaster.

But if God Ater gives the chance, the human side will absolutely take it at any cost.

When the contest of individuals turns into a race for survival, no one is superfluous long ago. This is a predestined "long-distance race", which compares who can last longer and who can run faster.

Perhaps it is the high adaptability of modern humans to this kind of all-out war, as well as the targeted evolutionary direction, which makes the Atel people fear that they may feel that at the speed of human evolution, if there is no decisive battle, there will be no chance to fight to the death.

No one will just sit and wait for orders. Humans definitely have plans for this situation, but no one looks forward to war, and subconsciously regards it as a plan for younger generations that will not be used.

The opposite is actually the same, how comfortable it is to live in the present and make good trade and make money. If the Atel tribe is not a one-man dictatorship of the Atel god, such a level of war mobilization should not be possible.

The core of the problem is that once the flames of war are ignited, the main theme of the whole world will naturally enter the war symphony, and everything must serve it.

How should the new era develop?After the flames of war are fully ignited, how should I adjust my personal development strategy?The days of hunting dominance seem to be over.

In the torrent of the great era, Zheng Li had to make a decision.

"They. They are very disturbed."

Near the entrance of the Iron Man Autonomous Region, Zheng Li saw the first batch of Iron Man refugees.

Most of them are quite "intact". There are not many scars on their metal bodies, but the various signal lights are constantly flashing, and the electronic lens is constantly scanning around. Uneasiness and fear.

"It seems that the feeling of exclusivity is more serious on the side of the Altels than on our side."

"Of course, if there is no choice, who would be willing to be a refugee? That would be tantamount to abandoning everything in the past."

Wu Wu, the administrative secretary of the subordinate office of the Autonomous Region Joint Conference, is also the person in charge of the refugee registration work, and she is already very busy.

When he saw Zheng Li, he complained to the "hands-off shopkeeper" for a while, and it took Zheng Li a lot of effort to coax him well.

Her words are also sighs from the heart. The "narratives of past experiences" in the process of refugee registration are full of "tragic words".

Losing property and real estate is actually nothing. Losing one's past social relations, changing from a "person" with status to a bereaved dog who has lost everything, and being denied one's value by the past society and friends is the most painful thing. of.

"I'll help them find a new job."

Zheng Li nodded silently, he had already made a plan.

He didn't play tricks, and he didn't set aside a piece of land for refugees and leave it alone as many people expected. It was forcing them to go narrower and narrower, and sooner or later they would reach a dead end.

In a completely unfamiliar or even hostile environment, being detained in a small area, waiting for relief that may or may not be there as a whole, leaving the camp for a while will meet all kinds of hostile and defensive eyes. Even if you are a talent before, so After a period of time, most of the days have been abandoned.

Give them a job, let them have the means and ways to make a living, and let them have no time to think about what they have and what they don't. When they establish new social relationships during their work, they will naturally integrate into this society.

If the government cannot give them a job, they will find a "job" themselves and establish a new order and social relations. This is also the root cause of the prevalence of "gangs" among refugees.

It is foreseeable that as the war progresses, more and more Iron Man refugees will appear, and many of them will come to this city and walk into this area.

If you want to do something, you have to plan in advance, you must start now.

Take the lead, so that the people behind can keep up. If the autonomous region really becomes a refugee camp, I am afraid that violence and crime will spread quickly. Iron refugees with a little bit of pursuit and ability will try to leave this area. The whole city brings new pressures.

From the very beginning, these people have to be given a job. Yes, they are people. That’s right, when they entered the city to complete the registration, they also completed the registration of the four spirits and obtained their own first blade.

In a sense, this is the most effective "authentication", an irreversible proof of identity.

And it is this "welfare" that makes many iron men very uneasy, and they are full of worries about the future.

Demonizing the enemy is probably the practice of each family. They are very worried that they will become a part of a certain vehicle when they wake up. They are always introspecting and hesitating whether their choice is correct.

Panic and uneasiness will generate rumors, and if the unrest continues, it will not be a good thing for anyone.

"Have the production licenses for the serrated blade and the penetrating grenade crossbow been approved? Great, they finally did a personnel job."

Yes, the first job Zheng Li found for them was to produce the most in-demand supplies and commodities in Shiqian City - "special weapons for the Atel people".

As mentioned before, these two weapons are "war resources" that have experienced battlefield experience.

Under the atmosphere of comprehensive preparations for war, many people will buy a few pressed box bottoms, and due to the validity period of artificial spiritual weapons, I am afraid that the market demand is unlimited.

When the news came back, Zheng Li sent his R&D department to conduct special research and tackle key problems, trying to come up with something decent.

These two weapons are not considered powerful among "effective weapons". The advantage is that the technical threshold for mass production is not high, and the disadvantage is naturally the "low damage" that comes with it.

But in the military industry, there are high-end and low-end. In the era of civil war, maybe the low-end is actually more profitable. At least Zheng Li, who has no choice now, can only comfort himself like this.

"Peace military industry? It's really an ironic name."

The Peace Corps is already well-known. For better linkage, it is normal for the new company to have this name, but Zheng Li feels that it is subtle.

"Can they do it?"

"Of course, the technical threshold of 'Serrated Blade' is not high. The chainsaw-like structure mainly uses the material of the Aters to hurt the Aters. Iron Man is also an Aters, so naturally there are Materials and technologies that harm one's own people."

The evolution of organisms always feels subtle, even if it is just to compete for the continuation of the DNA of the spouse, most organisms have the means and organs of harming and defeating the same kind.

"No, that's not what I meant. After all, it's a weapon against the Atels, and they were the Atels not so long ago"

Wuwu was still a little hesitant. She didn't sympathize with the Altels or the Iron Man, but she was worried that this arrangement would be too radical, or that it would be a certain insult in the eyes of the refugees, and she was worried that it would cause violent backlash and social incidents.

"Oh, you're still too young."

Immediately, Zheng Li laughed out loud.

"You probably don't know about the petition, but don't they know their position is subtle? Refugees who can come here, they still look forward to such an opportunity to 'surrender'. Don't worry, they will be much more active than you expected."

And the facts also prove that Wuwu is indeed too young. The investigation and evidence collection she asked people to do received a response. Most of the interviewees were asked, "If there is a military industry company that mainly produces weapons and equipment aimed at the Aters, would they be willing to enter?" Are you working?”, gave a fairly positive answer.

Among them, a considerable number of people gritted their teeth and expressed their hatred for the Atel people. They had just lost their homes and property. A reasonable person could see that the initiator of the war, the God Atel, was the culprit of all this.

It started the war generously, and its daily speech was full of anger and resentment towards Iron Man's "double-faced sword". His behavior naturally aggravated the racial conflicts among the Atel people, but it didn't care!It only cares about whether it is cool or not.

In this regard, the human beings who have suffered are much better. At least it is a crime to express anti-Iron Man remarks in public. The return of the refugees in this city is more like an insurance than an escape.

There are still racial crimes in remote areas, but according to Zheng Li, many criminals are actually just looking for a high-sounding reason. They attack the "Iron Man" because they are rich and not too strong, and they can get some human sympathy.

If there is no suitable iron man target, it is almost the same to find a weaker alien or human being. The point is actually not "who", but "whether it can be done well" and "how rich is he".

Of course, for the victim, that would be a catastrophe. No one can and should not require a victim to calmly analyze and understand the perpetrator.

"In this way, in the event of a war with the Atel people, it is a wise decision for the iron men of the residents of this city to return to the practice of the autonomous region. This can avoid a lot of trouble and the possibility of escalating conflicts."

The number of "refugees" in this city is actually quite large, several times more than the fleeing refugees, but Zheng Li didn't care about them.

They have their own lives and social relationships, and many of them even own real estate in the autonomous region. It is said that refugees may be richer than Zheng Li.

Although many Iron Man businessmen come to the autonomous region to report, they often go out to work and live. It seems that there is no difference from the past.

But Zheng Li also knew that, according to "convention", everything would change as the war with the Atels progressed, their living space would become more and more difficult, and they would eventually return to the autonomous region.

This is not just because there will be more and more hostile eyes, but most of them are already engaged in business and work related to the Atel people, such as diplomacy, translation, trade and the like.

As the normal exchanges between the two sides break down, many of them will face unemployment.

And due to the existence of a large number of spies and spies among the Iron Man refugees, many private enterprises and shops will not hire Iron Man, and they may end up entering the military industrial enterprise they prepared for the refugees to do the cheap physical strength they originally looked down upon. labor.

"Let's take one step at a time and set up enterprises and factories first, so that those refugees will not be too idle to add drama to themselves."

Zheng Li estimated that there were 2000 people in the first batch of refugees, and 1000 people were willing to find a job even if it was excessive. Even if the salary stepped on the baseline of the minimum wage, it was still a job.

The first phase of investment is about two factories and twelve D-level production lines. The early investment in the Peace Corps cannot be used, but this aspect can be settled with government funding. Well, Zheng Li used the public funds for private use, but considering This autonomous region already has the surname Zheng, and he is responsible for the future of the residents here, which is actually within a reasonable range.

Zheng Li estimated that even if the initial investment can save a lot of labor costs, even if the "arms against the Ater people" is a tight commodity in the market, this is still a loss-making business.

"Let's lose money, just take it as a foundation for the future, and let's 'raise' these people and these production lines first."

The result of Zheng Li's estimation still made him very heartbroken.

The result of the calculation a few days ago was not much loss, but today the market price of "special products" has dropped a bit, and the loss is expected to be even greater.

In fact, this is easy to understand. Although the demand for "arms" is very high, and the market price in the early stage has been driven up relatively high, the technical threshold of this thing is very low and the production is not difficult. At that time, many companies who heard the business opportunities rushed to it. A large number of similar products with different good and bad products were launched at the same time, and the market price of low-end products quickly collapsed.

If Zheng Li does not want his "charity" to turn into a bottomless pit of blood, he must find a way to make changes.

"In these days, even selling arms requires quality and branding. It seems that we still need to make a name for ourselves."
