National Juggernaut

Chapter 691 Departure
Every era has its own rhythm.

Although it is a bit old-fashioned, social relations and even social systems are indeed determined by productivity.

The current cruel nature and external environment have caused the population to gather in large cities, and due to the distance between each other and transportation costs, each large city is doomed to make a living independently.

Afterwards, the expansion of spheres of influence and the construction of satellite cities are typical of fighting against each other and blooming everywhere.

That is, if I sow seeds, give some fertilizer and water, whether you can live or not depends on yourself.

As a result, this era has unknowingly become a "feudal system" in the real sense.

The scope of jurisdiction of each entity is quite limited, and my subordinates may not necessarily be my subordinates.

The external jurisdiction of the central government is actually quite limited. No matter how bad he does, if his mayor/direct lord does not nod, he still cannot deal with it. Of course, there is evidence of treason.

Taking Shiqian City as an example, an inappropriate analogy may better clarify the weird system of this era.

The central faction is the imperial power faction in the Middle Ages, the mayor is the emperor, the speaker is the prime minister, and the local faction is a combination of a group of lords such as marquis and earls. They are loose and have no relationship with each other, but in most cases they can unite to face the central or Peripheral pressure.

As for the black armbands, they were similar to the secret agents of the imperial power in that era. They were extremely ruthless in the capital, but they only had a scary reputation in the local area.

It must be admitted that the social system has regressed.

This seemingly anti-age social system is indeed created by the limitations and reality of the times. When the cost of communication and transportation is unbearable, when the security and management of each region can only rely on itself, this kind of independent The "feudal system" of government has naturally become an unspoken rule that the society does not say but everyone follows.

This is also the first thing that the emerging revival alliance was established, which is the root of the crazy investment in building the "Great Road".

Only by further reducing the cost of transportation and communication can more big cities stand together in essence. If three or five big cities become an integrated body, the huge manpower, combat power, and financial resources combined can solve everything. question.

At that time, not to mention that the imperial power will not go to the countryside, the "local faction" who knows well will take the initiative to vote.

In front of the sun, Little Meteor still needs to learn humility and obedience.

But this plan, or Albert, will take a hundred years to lay the foundation at the earliest, and three to five hundred years to perfect it. Zheng Li and his party don't have to worry about the day when he is lucky enough to see the end, unless he turns himself into an old popsicle again.

"...To tell you the truth, I always thought it was the 'Great Way' that pushed the Atel people into a hurry and triggered the current war.

And Zheng Li's thinking actually aroused the approval of many people in the group.

The Atel people are not stupid, their intelligence spies are numerous in the human sphere of influence, as enemies, they even see farther than humans.

"You may not be able to win now, but in three to five hundred years, you will definitely not be able to win."

But at this time, there is no possibility of regression. If the integration of the Renaissance Alliance and the construction of the Great Road are interrupted, it will not be as simple as returning to the original point. The six cities in the central region may be directly scattered and completely return to the original era. .

Now that we have reached the turning point of the times, we can only bite the bullet and move forward instead of retreating.

As a human being in two lifetimes, Zheng Li sees farther than anyone else. He knows that war will become the main theme of the times. He and the generations after him are destined to grow up in the flames of war.

Instead of entrusting his fate to others, he chose to control a "little lord" during the war by himself. He may be overturned in the tide, or he may rise from the ground amidst the corpses of his colleagues and opponents amidst the sharpening of the times. own kingdom.

He is not a careerist who is obsessed with power, he just hopes to be able to control his own future and destiny, and be able to make choices about the future.

In Zheng Li's plan, the greatest wealth in his hands is this group of good brothers who have come all the way to the present, as well as the knowledge and "technology" that the war group has accumulated by chance.

During wartime, selling anything is probably not as profitable as selling arms. Considering the "timeliness" of man-made weapons and arms and the high cost of transportation in this era, the production and transportation of arms on the front line should probably be stable as long as the quality is acceptable. It is a business that does not lose money. The accumulation of Zheng Li and the Peace Corps has determined that their level is not just a passable level.

Originally, Zheng Li planned to hide on the second and third fronts of the war and make a fortune from the war.

With industry and stable funds, it is time to expand the army.

There are battlefields on the front line, and recruits on the back line. Standing in the middle, he produces weapons and ammunition to obtain resources, recruits recruits, and trains troops at the same time. Many people only see that the Peace Corps does not expand its recruitment strangely. In fact, Zheng Li just thinks it is not the right time.

It’s really going to explode. Most of the battle groups like Liang Shanbo’s style of earning a brother are of no use. Only batch, institutionalized, organized, and process-based recruiting, training, inspection, and forging can be stable and effective. Increase backbone strength.

It sounds simple, but if it is achieved successfully, recruits can be recruited locally, armed with local arms, trained locally, and then go to the front line to participate in the battle, constantly polishing back and forth, and quickly go from rookie to veteran.

In a hundred years' time, Zheng Li will be sure to gain the power to control his own destiny. At that time, what will Shi Qiancheng think? Uh, he still has to do it. After all, opposing the decision of Dacheng is tantamount to cutting himself off from the people in this era.

".Ten years, give me ten years."

Ten years, for an existence like an ordinary emerging battle group, it can be said to pass by in a flash, and for the mythical sword master, it is even more a matter of rotation.

But for Zheng Li, it was enough for him to transform from a mortal to a myth, and to make the Peace Corps change from a rookie group to a warlord group.

If it is still in the era of pseudo-peace, Zheng Li has the patience to slowly develop resources, but if it is a time of war, if you don't take any risks, just wait to be eliminated by the times.

Just like the military and technological competition during World War I and World War II, both sides will come up with "black technology" that has been stored for many years, and it will be updated every moment.

After 60 years of practice in a certain mountain nest, the classic routine of rebirth after great achievement may not be a big kill, but a World War I knight hitting the machine gun barbed wire. It looks very fierce, and nothing will be left after a few waves. .

Arrangements are not as fast as changes. What should come has come, and the development process has been forcibly interrupted. This does not mean that Zheng Li has given up on the previous plan, it is just the huge initial investment and the gamble on his career. The "application" made it impossible for him to retreat.

What Zheng Li could do was to make every possible preparation before leaving to ensure that everything was progressing steadily.

"Shen Jiang and Mr. Long probably won't participate in the battle. Oh, sure enough, they won't take the initiative to participate in such a high-risk war. Then entrust them to help take care of the research and development work in the rear."

"In terms of defense, the outer camps and so on have been temporarily abandoned. All those left behind, retreat to the headquarters."

".Although I don't want to, I have to be prepared for the worse or even the worst. If it's unlucky, our place will also be involved in the battlefield, what's even more unlucky is to be directly passed through, and the most unlucky is that due to the large territory, it has become a There is basically nothing left on the decisive battlefield.”

Zheng Li thought about it, and gave each option and arrangement to keep everyone busy.

Zheng Li, who is used to making worst-case estimates, has even made retreat arrangements.

"...If it's really unlucky, I can only give up this world. It's better to work for decades to exchange debts than to be pushed here by a wave of people. There is hope only when people are alive."

After the scattered arrangements, the precious three days of preparation time have passed.

Being urged by the superiors, Zheng Li could only sigh helplessly, and set off with others.

"Everyone, I won't talk nonsense. Our rear is all our belongings and our future home. Whether eating meat or eating pickles for 30 years depends on our wave. We are not fighting for anyone, we are fighting for Fight for yourself."
-
Humid rainy season, hot sun exposure, icy snow blowing, manic gusts, when these climates that should belong to the four seasons, hit your face all at once, how does it feel?
".The clothes I washed yesterday and hung up at night were all wet in the middle of the night. They froze into popsicles in the morning, and turned into a ball of mud at noon. At night, I only saw a few pieces of cloth hanging on the wire."

Someone in the legion described the weird climate and weather here in very vivid words.

And in the psionic network, they never stopped complaining about the harsh environment here.

".I can understand that, as the defender of the battlefield, he chose the advantage of favorable terrain. But when the command made this decision, they really used their brains. If you continue to stay here, even if the Atel people don't come, Our non-combat attrition probably exceeds combat attrition."

"Don't talk about it, have you ever tasted the taste of a cold and heatstroke at the same time? The infirmary beds in my battle group have been exhausted. You have heatstroke medicine and cold medicine, can you mix it up?"

"That's not a problem, but I'm curious what your people did to run out of cold medicine."

The sword master itself is a fighter of the physical system, and with the increase of biological energy, every one of them is a superman of the physical system on weekdays, and it is rare to get sick.

Some fighters are curious about what kind of situation can make a sword master with full resistance use up his commonly used medicines.

"The boys in the front row, they had a snowball fight in the morning, and at noon they wore cotton-padded clothes to bask in the sun on the deck and played a heat-resistant competition. Didn't the afternoon storm come? They swam and fought in the water, and suddenly the weather changed and a super cold wave came. It's all frozen in water."

".I think they need some brain therapy."

"Don't worry, I think they should have learned their lesson. At that time, other people were busy, and they found out that they were in the ice at night, and they had already enjoyed several rounds of weird weather."

When there are too many people, there are naturally all kinds of birds. Some people asked "why they didn't ask for help", but before the person concerned answered, someone answered.

"The lower body is in the frozen water, and the wind blows so cool. I probably don't feel it anymore. Would you call for help in such an embarrassing scene?"

"Makes sense, makes sense."

There are unscrupulous people everywhere. Even if the person concerned gave the answer "They swam and threw the communication equipment on the deck, and everyone else was sheltering from the rain in the room, and they didn't pay attention for a while", the topic is still getting more and more crooked.

"... When a group of big men hug each other in the mud, wrestle and take a bath in ice and fire, will you call someone to watch?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, unfortunately, there was no video at that time."

No one cared about the original question anymore, even Zheng Li also took note of the unlucky "Resurrection of the Storm" by the way.

But in fact, Zheng Li can quite understand the occurrence of such accidents. Since entering this world, his team members have not gone out for a full 24 hours.

After all, it takes a little time to get used to the sun exposure during the day and the polar cold weather.

"...Is this kind of damn weather really effective for the Atel people? How do you feel that we will be the first to be injured?"

As the defender of the battlefield, human beings who have lost the advantage of the initiative in time naturally also gained the geographical advantage of choosing the battlefield.

Choosing to snipe the Altels in this world is the final decision made by the higher-ups, and it is the best choice of the professional staff after calculating countless intelligence and possibilities.

But there are at least seven or eight strange scenes of extreme weather in 24 hours here, which makes the defenders who have just arrived here a little overwhelmed.

The only thing that surprised Zheng Li was that his group was the fastest to adapt among the reinforcements.

Just ask and you will know.
"It's much more comfortable than the world of the setting sun. At least we know what time it is."

"Isn't it just the disgusting weather? In that sunset world, when you look up, you will always see the same scenery. The sunset that always hangs in that direction makes me wonder if reality is a dream."

Well, it seems that unknowingly, his warband honed their environmental resistance and psychological stress tests in the sunset world.

Being able to adapt to the environment is a good thing, but looking at the heavy snow, thunderstorms, and mudslides outside, Zheng Li really wondered if his enemy would be the boundless army of Gemelites, or the more troublesome and dangerous nature itself.

But no matter what, since my side arrived first, I naturally have to use the time advantage to adapt to the environment first.

After a short period of adaptive training, each member of the regiment was kicked out to blow the wind, blow the snow, and eat thunder. Among the various weird weather here, the thunderstorm is the most direct threat, but from another angle, it inexplicably makes Zheng Li a little Delighted and confident.

It's just that the soldiers who were training in the rain to avoid lightning probably wouldn't have much fun.

The big car was driving slowly in front, and a bunch of sad-faced brothers behind him could apply to enter the car after being chased helplessly, but in this case, it would be a bit embarrassing for whoever quits.

What made Zheng Li even more puzzled was that this weird world, which didn't look like a paradise at all, actually had human resident battle groups and garrisoned cities.

"No matter what, let's join the people in the headquarters first."

Before going to the agreed place, the Peace Corps was approached by an old acquaintance.
