The knight in the big world of American TV series

The first time they got the news, everyone thought... Tianqi was crazy!

How can any national leader personally go to the front line? In the era of cold weapons, leaders could boost morale by visiting the front line in person, but in the era of hot weapons, if a leader of a country goes to the front line... then it is not a question of boosting morale, but of 100% causing trouble for others!

The first is security. Don't think that national leaders go alone when they go to places. There are a lot of entourages and guards behind them. With so many people running to the front line, they are not under the control of the military. It is very troublesome to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Secondly, it was a battlefield! The enemy and we are at war with each other, and the situation is very critical. Why are you going to the front line? Are you being used as a target? How to arrange security? How to keep information confidential?

Thirdly, what if the enemy learns the location of the leader and kills them at all costs? Are you leaving or staying? Leave, then why are you running to the front line? Is it embarrassing? If you stay... it will be even more lively. The surrounding friendly forces will definitely come to reinforce and protect the leader at all costs. But what to do with the friendly positions?

By then, the leader will be fine and all positions will be lost... Then what are you doing here? Help the other party?

Finally, if the leader has three shortcomings, will this war still be fought? When the filming was getting intense, my boss was killed... morale and other things were basically ruined. Countless variables will also arise.

If not, it will be over immediately!

Let professionals do professional things!

This sentence has countless profound lessons! As a national leader, don't be so blind as to command the army! You can't play with that thing.

Of course, there are many leaders in history who are both wise and courageous, and possess both civil and military skills. They can conquer the world on horseback, or they can rule the world on dismount. But there is no doubt that such people are an absolute minority. The vast majority of people think they can do it, but that is an illusion!

It's a pity that few people can distinguish this. They mistake the illusion for self-confidence, and then use various micro-manipulations to directly collapse a good situation.

There really aren’t too many examples like this.

The micromanager master will not end well!

Of course, this is the thinking of ordinary people, and the leadership of Little Overlord is also in the same situation now.

They were confused about the meaning of Tianqi's actions.

"Does he really think he is some kind of prophet?" A senior executive couldn't help but joked. Of course, such ridicule was full of malice.

The word prophet is very sacred in the three religions. Not just any cat or dog can be called a prophet!

It is very interesting to say that although the three religions are hostile to each other, in fact, they admit that there is only one God in the world, and that is Jehovah. God Jehovah is a homophone of the Hebrew God Yahweh. In Judaism, Jehovah is “God” and is the creator and master of the entire universe. In Christianity, Jesus is considered the Son of Jehovah. In Islam, Jehovah is called Allah, the creator and ruler of Islam. In fact, all three religions have the same roots and recognize one god—God Jehovah.

Take Jesus for example. All three religions recognize Jesus as a prophet, but the difference is that they position Jesus differently. The bully only recognized Jesus as a prophet, no different from other prophets. They absolutely do not recognize Him as the savior, let alone the Son of God. Islam also respects Jesus but considers him only one of the prophets.

In short, no matter how you say it, the word prophet is not nonsense.

Those cult leaders are enjoying themselves, but no one takes them seriously. But for a national leader to say that he is a prophet... this is going too far.

“Perhaps he also wanted Moses to part the sea!”

Hahahaha!

A group of people laughed... Don't think this is too much. In fact, few real politicians have any devout beliefs. In fact, the more political one is, the less likely one is to be pious. As the saying goes: The Pope is a sober liar!

The higher your status in a religious group, the more clearly you will realize... God does not exist!

This is still a religious group.

Not to mention in the political arena. It cannot be said that no politician has devout beliefs. I can only say that the probability of it happening is very small!

Although these people are high-level leaders of Little Overlord, if you want to say how much they really believe in those things... I can only say that you are overthinking. They will regard those as part of their lives, but they will never let them become everything!

But after talking and laughing, it’s time to get back to business.

"Okay, joke time is over, how should we respond to this news?"

"I think this must be a smoke bomb. For example, Apocalypse will find a substitute to attract the attention of our army, and then launch a surprise attack when there is a flaw in our army's mobilization line!"

This guess is not impossible.

Although no one has done this before, well... it's not that the British have done it before. In the North African battlefield, they found someone to impersonate Montgomery, but the national leader... has never done it on such a big scale. After all, this requires a very powerful tactical deception ability, which can deceive an entire country!

"But our intelligence agency has sent back accurate information. The apocalypse was announced in front of the people of the whole country. He... has no reason to deceive even his own people." Another senior executive retorted.

Then he was despised.

Everyone here, has there ever been a day when you have not deceived the people?

It doesn't matter, as long as the war is won, this is a shocking skill!

It's a ploy! You know eggs!

"I think we have forgotten that Apocalypse is a mutant! He may actually have the ability to change the situation of the war."

Another senior executive said this.

Then he too was despised. "Mutants...it's not like we haven't caught them before. They may look magical, but in fact, those little tricks can't affect the direction of the war at all!"

This is a matter of perception.

The population of Little Overlord will reach ten million... I don’t know if it’s good luck or bad luck. It just so happens that there are no mutants in the country! Maybe there is, but it hasn't been discovered. After all, for a small country, it is normal. No, not surprising.

Mutants have always been like this, there are no rules. Maybe a small country with millions of people could have hundreds of mutants in the country. In some countries, there are millions of people, but there is not a single mutant in the country.

That's the case with Bully, there are no mutants in the country.

They do not have to deal with the problem of mutants, so their knowledge and research on mutants is not very deep.

They did kill and capture a few mutants on the battlefield. To be honest, these abilities are really interesting. In small-scale conflicts, these abilities are very useful. But if in a war... their abilities can only be said to be somewhat interesting, but of little significance.

Therefore, although they attach great importance to mutants, after all, mutants have indeed brought them a lot of trouble, but it is only trouble and cannot change the general situation. But I absolutely do not believe that they have the ability to change the situation on the battlefield!

"So what do we do?"

"Let the special forces be prepared, and also prepare the mobile forces. Once it is confirmed that the apocalypse has occurred, let the special forces attack, and then let the mobile forces expand the results. If it is false... then ignore him and continue our previous mission. Drive the Egyptians out of the country!”

The biggest leader has the final word!

Of course, the entire meeting could not be so vulgar and simple. In fact, these high-level officials had many things to consider. The news of Apocalypse probably only took up a few minutes of their meeting time.

……

Apocalypse did not lie, he indeed wanted to conquer in person.

Because the situation on the front line is indeed not good.

After all, although Apocalypse has experienced wars, it is a melee with thousands of people, and they are still fighting each other with sticks and bronze weapons. Completely different from modern warfare!

War seems to have never been absent after human civilization has developed to a certain stage. Because of interests and conflicts, various wars may arise. It's just that compared to modern wars, ancient wars seemed to be more restrained, and armies were able to fight each other for a longer period of time. Especially if one of the warring parties has not been completely defeated, we often hear the word "come back". But in modern society, once a modern war breaks out, it seems that such a situation will no longer happen. Especially when ancient wars were fought for more than a hundred years, everyone could still persist, but modern wars were fought for only one year, and many people couldn't stand it.

First of all, the degree of mobilization in ancient wars and modern wars was different. In ancient wars, due to the limitations of social development, the amount of troops that the feudal dynasty could concentrate was actually very limited. Especially before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars were a matter between nobles and kings and had little to do with ordinary people. Not only did the kings not harm the people, they also hoped to use war to get more people to produce and work for themselves.

But in modern war, the nature of the country has changed from a monarchy to a democracy. In other words, from a certain perspective, the country in the past can be regarded as the country of a certain person or a certain family, but in the modern country, everyone is equal, and everyone has the obligation to serve their own interests. The country contributes. Under such circumstances, the level of mobilization has become higher and war injuries have become more serious, so even if it only lasts for one year, many people cannot stand it.

Secondly, the cost of war is different. The cost of ancient wars actually focuses on three aspects: military pay, logistics, and various war materials. But the money needed to consume in these three aspects is actually very limited. Although there have often been cases in history where the national treasury was emptied by wars, the main reason was not due to the consumption of war, but to the low social productivity at that time, and the so-called national treasury did not have much money.

But in modern warfare, a missile costs tens of millions of dollars, and the loss of a fighter jet can even reach hundreds of millions of dollars. How many people spend their whole life earning money, which is not even enough to support a warship bombardment for more than ten minutes. One can imagine how terrible modern war is. Under such circumstances, if a modern war continues for a year, how many countries’ citizens can bear it?

Finally, there is the difference in social systems. Although the ancient social system was simple, it was actually very solid. Because there are not many rules and restrictions, and the common people value survival far more than "life". Therefore, even if they are affected by the war, people can still persevere. More importantly, judging from the impact of ancient wars, if it were not deliberate massacre, the impact on the people would not be as great as modern wars.

But in modern society, when modern weapons fall into urban residential areas, the entire social system will be severely impacted. Compared with ancient social systems, modern social systems are complex but fragile, and people cannot accept changes before and after wars. Therefore, in just one year, many people will not be able to bear the impact of the war.

Although Tianqi has read about so-called modern warfare in many books, he still has no real feelings about it.

Until he saw with his own eyes how fast money was burned after the war broke out!

Not only could the front line not be able to bear it, he could not bear it from behind either!

In Tianqi's view, this country now belongs to him, and the money in this country naturally belongs to him! So when he saw his money burning by millions every minute, he couldn't bear it anymore... Well, Tianqi's style is not that low.

But the situation at home is indeed not very good. The benefits they finally gained in the last war are being consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before, when Apocalypse received assistance from all parties, he sincerely believed that with so many weapons and supplies, he could beat the bully to the point where he wouldn't even recognize his mother!

Unexpectedly, all the supplies were consumed in just half a month!

Since the war began, the Overlord has fired about 2 artillery shells every day, and the Egyptian army has consumed between 4 and 7 artillery shells every day. The Egyptian army has consumed a total of almost 90000 artillery shells so far! The Egyptian army's total inventory is only about rounds of artillery shells! (Excluding shells consumed by tanks and other combat vehicles, only artillery consumption is calculated)

Their stock of artillery shells has reached the bottom, and there is still a long way to go before the overlord!

Others consume only 20,000 rounds per day!

In addition, there is bullet consumption... This thing is the real big deal. On the modern battlefield, firearms and bullets are the most common and practical weapons and ammunition. Except for cold weapons such as daggers, they are almost the cheapest. Depending on the caliber, the price of a bullet ranges from 1 to 5 yuan. For example, a Gatling gun can fire 1000 rounds of 7.62 mm caliber bullets per minute, and the price is 5 yuan each. Even if each barrel wears out 1 rounds before it needs to be scrapped, the ammunition cost will only be 30 yuan.

However, high-precision sniper rifle bullets are different. The price of a single round may be as high as tens or even hundreds of dollars. Although a single bullet is cheap, the cost of bullets consumed in a war is enough to bankrupt a small country. For example, the Soviet-German war during World War II used up 170 billion rounds of ammunition by the Soviet army alone. In the Iraq War, the US military consumed 60 billion rounds of ammunition, but only killed 24000 Iraqi soldiers. On average, it took 25 rounds of ammunition to kill one enemy. In actual modern war statistics, killing an enemy with a single bullet is almost an exception.

In large-scale wars, head-on fighting with guns is rare. The "faith shooting" on the African battlefield is a true portrayal - the soldiers hide their heads, only stretch out the muzzle of the gun, and pull the trigger based on luck. In fact, most suppressive fire is deterrent shooting and is difficult to cause actual damage. Although the cost of a single bullet is low, in terms of quantity, it becomes a huge expense.

Tianqi has always known that war costs money, but he never thought it would cost so much!

If the fight continues, let alone what happens to the little bully, he will definitely go bankrupt!

Can't go on.

He needs a final word!
