National Juggernaut

Chapter 676 Open

A battle group is the basic unit of human forces, and most of the time it is also the smallest unit, but after a certain period of development, if it does not disappear from everyone, it will naturally become a colossus.

For regiments of hundreds, thousands or even ten thousand people, when the number of a battlegroup exceeds five figures, it is basically impossible to maintain daily expenses only by accepting temporary commissions and tasks.

During the rookie competition, Zheng Li encountered several offers from groups of ten thousand people, but he refused them all without hesitation.

In his opinion at the time, it didn't even need to be considered. Those who can become a regiment of ten thousand people basically have their own towns, territorial worlds, vassal war groups and even vassal races. It is impossible for him to leave Shiqian City.

A regiment of 1 people is not a small business, a team of 50 sword masters, and at least [-] million foreign servants. Servants are quite rare in human cities, but they are very common in marginal worlds.

For example, ghost people. In the past three years, the debate on whether ghost people are pure humans, beasts (ghosts) transformed into subhumans, or aliens has never stopped.

It sounds like a political, cultural, and philosophical judgment, but those consortiums and companies that promote the "ghost race and alien theory" are still playing for economic value. If they are foreigners, it means that they do not have "ownership" of their territory. Their growth and employment must be attached to a certain cross-city enterprise, big city, or big company, which means that their human resources will continue to be transfused to major forces instead of forming a self-contained system.

The mouth is full of benevolence and righteousness, and the heart is full of business. The Twin Cities have been tossing about this for several years. There have been two waves of national discussions, and they have gone through various struggles.

This result is actually quite subtle, abruptly classifying it as a subhuman branch of the evolutionary species, enjoying most of the "human rights", but at the same time, losing the future possibility of independently establishing a city-state or a big city.

Obviously, the political side represented by Dacheng won this debate, and gave the ghost race a fairly good way to return. It really gave them a pure human identity, and probably many citizens were unhappy again.

Cough, it’s far away, this world is neither peaceful nor friendly, the farther away from the big city, the lower the bottom line of morality.

"Law? It's far away from the big city. Is there any law? Even if there is law, is it the law of the local war group? Or the law of the local ethnic group? Or go thousands of miles away and ask an expatriate judge to enforce the law."

".Okay, let's talk about expatriation. Then I deny his judgment. No, no, I'm not saying that his judgment is wrong. I'm saying that his procedures and execution are not thoughtful. According to the regulations, we need to go to a special agency. Go to appeal, the road back to Dacheng is not too far away, about half a year, the first trial of this murder case will come out in [-] years, it seems, you understand, the seemingly independent law has always stood with politics, there is no guarantee of power Codex is a joke."

After Zheng Li determined his future development goals, the hottest topics in the Peace Corps changed, and most people would think about their own future.

At the level of the Peace Corps, the dark and gray area under the table of the "novice village" in Dacheng has more or less been heard.

But it still makes people feel delicate and even hesitant to really inquire about it seriously and regard it as a part of future life.

".Aren't you a little silly? If you search for 'how dark is the outside world', it will naturally tell you that it is 'a blackness that does not understand the night'. The more horrifying and appalling news is, the easier it is to spread, and many extreme cases are It can be spread thousands of miles away, causing a series of prejudices."

When there are too many people and too many words, people's hearts will be easily confused, so Zheng Li still took action to put out the fire.

"The one who spreads rumors opens his mouth, and those who refute rumors run away. Use your knees to think about it. If the remote areas outside are so nonsense, our social structure has collapsed long ago. You haven't seen the members of the overseas missions who came back. They Looks like a storybook bully lord?"

In fact, Zheng Li himself was not very confident in saying this.

Not to mention the experience of the two lives, he has been bound to Ah Qiong for a long time, of course he knows how low the lower limit of human morality will be without monitoring and restraint.

Those well-dressed people returning to the city don't mean anything. There are too many people in the front and others in the back. Who knows what they will do when they go back to their own territory, but
".The most important thing is that if we become a garrison battle group, we will naturally have the final say on the land. We will decide the specific rules ourselves. Don't you have confidence in your own moral bottom line?"

To be honest, Zheng Li has no confidence. He always holds a pessimistic view of the moral bottom line of human beings, but at the same time, he holds an extremely optimistic view of the upper limit of human morality.

"Saints and demons are not born. What kind of people you want to become depends on your choice in the end. If the territory is ours, we have the final say on how to decide. Don't rush ahead. Even if the world is like a crow black, but there are always a few albinos."

While talking, Zheng Li shook his head.

It's too early to talk about it now, but when it came time to make an important choice in life, I wasn't as calm as I showed.

"...I have communicated with the above, and our 'application' will be approved soon. Our guess is correct, they do plan to 'plant' a group of young warbands in the surrounding world, even if they can't become big trees It can be used as a windbreak belt, and if it is a little bit worse, it can at least be used as a fire belt when a wildfire burns."

Since this area is destined to become the frontline of the battle with the Alters, it is necessary to strengthen the penetration and management of the surrounding world. Those core worlds that occupy a large population will definitely be directly managed by Shiqian City, but they are remote and have a small population. According to the rules, the resources and the border world will be handed over to the private forces.

There must be a well-known group of thousands of people and a century-old group to take over, but considering that this is a doomed century-old war, and it is a long-term race that consumes more energy than anyone else, it is also necessary to foster a group of young elites and rookies.

When he said this, Zheng Li glanced at everyone in the regiment, and sure enough, everyone was excited.

Perhaps, they thought it would be easy to pass the application?Will there be too much pressure afterwards?It seems that it is still too young.

Zheng Li still only said half of some things.

The current frontline situation still looks favorable, but this is destined to be only temporary.

The Twin Cities have their own territory, and if they help each other once, they will not be able to help forever, so they are destined to leave.

When the core is gone, sooner or later this place will become a war zone on the border. The radiation range of Shiqian City headquarters is limited, and the local garrison regiment will ultimately have to rely on itself.

The requirements for the various legions and battle groups stationed are even higher. What is high is not combat power, but trustworthiness and development potential.

Being far away from the mainland, with a support starting three or four months away, independence is not simply praise and standpoint, but a healthy operating state in terms of economy, resources, and reserve forces.

Food, ammunition, and newcomers must be recruited and collected by themselves. A battle group that fails to reach this point is not qualified to be stationed in a certain world.

Along with the application, there is also a development report. It doesn't need to be very detailed, or even involve a certain world, but at least it must prove that it is ready for long-term independence, rather than a gang of kickers with muscles in its head .

What Zheng Li handed in was very simple. He just talked about the strength of his "company" in terms of technical reserves, and several licenses for the commercialization of Atel weapons. Of course, he and the spiritual race (revenge ) shared suffering relationship.

When asked if there was a world that was initially selected, Zheng Li also said bluntly.

"It's fine if there are horses. Next, I will carry out the escort mission of Miss 'Pandora'. This is a long-term mission. We will have many choices in the process. I personally have the confidence to do this mission well. It requires a lot. It is not combat power, but more flexible diplomatic means and sufficient technical reserves.”

In fact, the work of selecting wargroups to station has already begun, but most of the wargroups are invited, talked, and the peace wargroups who come to the door and say "I can" are very few.

But this kind of initiative to "take root" in the borderlands and become the front line of the entire "country" is undoubtedly a very good example.

This kind of matter cannot be decided in the short term. Once the review process is started, everything from political stances to personal abilities, assets, credit, and mental models will be reviewed one by one.

But in fact, Zheng Li has been under scrutiny, and the eyes of the above-mentioned people have never left. Two hours after finishing the report, he received a private text message, saying that the "plan" is basically no problem and can start preparations.

At this moment, Zheng Li opened up the recruitment bar and started a new round of recruitment expansion. Whether it is to complete Pandora's "escort" mission or to station in a certain area independently, it is not realistic.

"At least a thousand-member group. Let's go to three hundred first."

Zheng Li didn't expect that not long after expanding to a group of hundreds, the size would triple again.

The peripheral human resources can be supplemented from outsiders, but if the core human members only have a hundred or so, and most of them are pure fighters, then nothing can be done.

At the same time, the independent garrison regiment has to face not only local pressure and natives, but even the second line and the outer world, there is no absolute security, and the attack of the Alters may arrive at any time.

Even if your own world is fine, you can't guarantee the safety of the world next door. If you want to survive, you must make all preparations to become the front line
"By the way, some skilled workers needed for the production line should also be recruited, as well as construction workers."

Zheng Li pondered and hesitated, the list was getting more and more, and the funding gap was getting bigger and bigger.

But he is not in a hurry. He just discussed with the higher-ups that if he really becomes the garrison regiment at the front line of this battlefield, he will receive a huge loan with a relatively low interest rate as the start-up fund, which will be repaid in installments after 30 years.

At the same time, the Peace Corps will obtain a series of special permissions, including the right to recruit special people, the right to enforce the law in the territory stationed, and the right to purchase control technology.

And this also means that this is a good opportunity to develop their own battle group at public expense.

". Earn public money for nothing? That's in exchange for your life"

Zheng Li hesitated for a moment, but finally made up his mind.

I don't have time to polish it slowly, and it's impossible for Shi Qiancheng to let himself hide in the safe rear.

Now that we have decided to develop on the front line, instead of continuing to go to various high-risk battlefields as a "freedom group" assigned by the superiors, we should take the initiative to attack, manage our own defense areas and sites, and fight more prepared battles.

There are many benefits to getting the news in advance. Zheng Li sent Song Ying to negotiate the purchase of technical facilities such as equipment and production lines, and asked Wu Sanjun and Li Zheng to be responsible for recruiting combatants.

He also asked Yan Fei to find more sentinels and beast cavalry, it is best to give priority to the air cavalry of flying beasts, and the next journey can't just rely on two feet.

In dangerous and unfamiliar areas, psionic radars and maps cannot be trusted too much. The number of sentries can never be too many. Next, if you want to build a station, sentries and secret sentries that expand the scope of investigation are also essential. This investment saves not come down.

The investment in the production line is also an astronomical sum.

Zheng Li said half of what he said before, but the censors understood what he meant. Zheng Li planned to produce military products such as artificial spiritual weapons in the frontline world.

Just considering its location and the ensuing front-line demand, this is a "thriving" sunrise industry,

There is a time limit for man-made spiritual weapons. The loss rate of local products shipped from Shiqian City is at least 3%. The local military industry can directly supply the front lines. As long as the product quality is qualified, it is a stable industry that does not worry about sales.

Of course, these procurement tasks can be discussed now, but to make a concrete decision to start working, the current key tasks must be completed first.

"Ms. Pandora, I never expected that we would meet again so soon."

This time when I saw Pandora again, it was still a charming black-haired beauty, but this time, she was not alone.

One left and one right were obviously powerful and unusually high-end fighters. They were not only Pandora's bodyguards, but also her guards.

After a simple exchange, the topic quickly cooled down. Regarding her own situation, Pandora may have a lot of thoughts, but it is not convenient to confide in anyone.

At the same time, Zheng Li also received a video file.

It was a video recording of just over two minutes, in which there was only one person, one beast. Pandora and a centaur tied tightly.

Pandora walked over slowly, and put her hand on the head of the centaur, the furious centaur wanted to bite her directly.

A faint red light leaked from her little hands, and slowly, the centaur gradually became calm and at ease, and even looked at Pandora silently, and finally fell asleep on its own initiative.

That's the end of the video, but Zheng Li needs more than just the content.

"Ms. Pandora, can you use the theocracy of 'Enlightenment' only if you touch the head of a centaur?"

"Can you tell me the situation of the enlightened man? What is his intelligence?"

These materials are directly related to the difficulty and specific process of the "escort mission". If it is really necessary to "brainwash" them individually, Zheng Li wants to give up. "Washing" to what year and month, it is much more difficult for a prisoner to live than to kill.

But judging from the results of Pandora's feedback, it seems that her abilities are not perfect. As a "human", she needs to supplement and improve the psionic system, and her ability development has not reached the extreme.

The other answer made Zheng Li feel even more subtle.

"Those enlightened horse people only have the intelligence of a seven or eight-year-old boy. That's great, it would be quite easy to deceive. Ahem, that's really too bad. The road to rebuilding the horse people's civilization is too long."
