Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 1,690 War Potential

After receiving the setback, the Sun and Moon Empire did not collapse. Instead, it continued to build its army and began preparations for a new round of war.

It must be said that the Sun and Moon Empire has sufficient reserves for this war. With three thousand years of war preparation time, the entire empire had accumulated a large amount of war supplies.

Over the past 3,000 years, there have been more than a thousand emperors, and almost every one of them was determined to conquer the continent. Every emperor is accumulating war capital for his next generation. In this era, the resources for war have been accumulated in an unknown amount.

During their stay here, successive emperors buried this wealth in the treasure house of the Sun and Moon Empire. Now Xu Tianran only squandered his own accumulation, not even his father's accumulation.

Although most of the preparations for war made by the earlier emperors of the Sun and Moon Empire were useless, at least the rare metals and other materials stored in them were undoubtedly useful.

After the war began, the production system within the Sun and Moon Empire also began to change. After gradually transforming from a conventional system to a wartime system, the efficiency of production began to increase.

At first, people were dissatisfied with this matter. After all, this process was equivalent to squeezing their labor force and making their lives more difficult.

However, as the war entered the middle and later stages of the stalemate, this situation changed. Different from the original work, the three empires on the Douluo side have almost no ability to resist.

Orange was also able to win over people's hearts during the offensive. With more favorable policies and more convenient soul guides, it was easy to dismantle nationalism that even Mengya could not even count, allowing the occupied areas to grow rapidly. Towards the direction of the Sun and Moon Empire.

In this war, the progress of the Sun and Moon Empire was not smooth. Douluo showed tenacious resistance, and the Tianhun Empire firmly defended Tiandou City. So that the army of the Sun and Moon Empire cannot take a step beyond the thunder pool.

Star Luo City is also difficult to attack. In addition, the Star Luo Empire is even larger and there is a sandstorm group inside that is muddying the waters. It is also difficult for the Sun and Moon Empire to directly capture the huge Star Luo Empire.

This makes it impossible for the Sun and Moon Empire to rule the occupied areas like their own administrative regions like in the original work. Such an approach would actually consume resources within the empire.

This situation can be understood with a simple analogy. Compared with the Sun and Moon Empire, the three countries of Douluo are backward. Both in technology and infrastructure.

In order to improve the lives of people in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, what they need is a better administrative system and better infrastructure. The former is equivalent to requiring talents from the Sun and Moon Empire to go to remote areas for support, which is basically equivalent to the modern equivalent of going to the northwest to support construction.

The latter is equivalent to developing old, minority, border and poor areas and carrying out infrastructure construction in these underdeveloped areas.

No matter which one it is, it requires the Sun and Moon Empire to invest resources and manpower in construction, and the manpower and material resources invested by the empire undoubtedly come from the citizens of the empire, and are reflected in the living standards of the citizens, which is naturally the standard of living. decline.

In the original work, the Sun and Moon Empire is unstoppable. Naturally, this method can be used to win over people's hearts. Even if the domestic living standards drop slightly, there will be no turmoil. It can completely swallow up the Douluo Three Kingdoms without leaving any hidden dangers.

But now the war has reached a stalemate. If this strategy is still implemented, the pressure on the domestic economy will be too great. It will seriously affect the income level of the people and even lead to the occurrence of famine and other vicious events. Naturally, it is impossible to adopt similar measures.

In other words, not constructing the occupied areas will naturally mean plundering the occupied areas. To win, you need to sell people's hearts. If victory cannot be guaranteed, people's hearts are meaningless at all. Although the attack of the Sun and Moon Empire suffered setbacks, it actually still occupied a large amount of territory.

In this way, even if the people in this territory do not work as diligently as the Dou Ling Republic and cannot create such huge wealth, they can still create wealth.

It is enough to let these people work, and the work of one person is not only ideal and sense of mission, but also desire and whip.

A large number of people without assets were captured and transported to the factories of the Sun and Moon Empire, replacing the original workers of the Sun and Moon Empire. The labor intensity of the workers on the original production lines was reduced and they gradually entered the management level. The other group of people who fail to enter management are more miserable and will be reduced to the same situation as these captured workers.

This is an internal division. Some workers who were originally at the bottom of the workforce have been promoted, while others have become worse. These two groups of people will be hostile to each other, but will not resist the country. In a sense, the contradiction is hidden.

On the other hand, plundering cheap labor from abroad can indeed alleviate the internal conflicts of the Sun and Moon Empire. Although it makes the grassroots workers in the factory more involved and the labor intensity becomes greater, it frees the backbone and basic base of the Sun and Moon Empire from hard labor. As long as this group of backbones get benefits to support the expansion of the empire.

Then the war in the Sun and Moon Empire can continue, and the huge resources can be quickly transformed into war potential.

After learning from the assembly line production model of the Dou Ling Republic, the production efficiency of the Sun and Moon Empire has been greatly improved. Using a more scientific management system allows resources to be converted into war weapons faster.

Compared to the ordinary people at the bottom of the empire, it is the soul masters who truly serve as the foundation of the empire, and plundering during wars will undoubtedly bring huge benefits to this class.

This undoubtedly stimulated the production enthusiasm of this class. Although reports of heavy casualties came from the front line, the soul masters who returned from the battlefield each received extremely generous rewards.

A large amount of wealth, rare metals, and shares in high-quality industries made them gradually realize that war was profitable. And this undoubtedly inspired other soul masters to continuously speed up the production of materials, and continuously poured into the army to form a new group of soul masters.

After the new soul mentor group was formed, the Sun Moon Empire's goal was no longer the Dou Ling Republic. The previous setbacks made them realize that it would be difficult to plunder the Dou Ling Republic in a short period of time. Since they could not get it temporarily, Then focus on what you can get your hands on.

In the imperial palace of Mingdu, Xu Tianran faced the high-rise buildings outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and turned his back to the intelligence officer to listen to the battle reports from the front line.

"The war is defeated, right? It doesn't matter. 24 soul master groups have been reorganized in the country. They can be added to the front line now. Don't rush to attack. We want to support the puppet regime in the occupied areas. Direct occupation now is not good for us.

Our plundering of resources will arouse the resistance of the local people. If we directly govern, we will become an outlet for their emotions, and the cost of governance will be huge.

Let their own people rule their own people and transform the hatred between nations into hatred among themselves. Then we only need to help them establish order in the occupied areas.

Let's add our reserve team to the order of battle! The new batch of students are about to graduate from the academy. After receiving military training, they will soon be able to form an army. "

The intelligence officer retreated, and Xu Tianran began to formulate a new plan: "Be prepared for a protracted war. The national strength demonstrated by the Douling Republic is much stronger than I imagined. This is no longer a battle that can be ended. of war.

In this case, we must start from the training of the next generation and comprehensively transform it into a wartime system. It is necessary to increase the proportion of political courses in school curricula and to provide boarding education from an early age.

It is not difficult to reduce the sources of information they receive and cultivate their hatred for the countries on Douluo Continent. The history of humiliation three thousand years ago and a series of unequal treaties can be used as teaching materials.

In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the training of students' militarized skills. Establish a more in-depth docking system between the military and schools.

If the plan can be implemented, then we will have an endless supply of troops, and these people are full of hatred for Douluo and will not have the slightest doubt about the war.

However, if you do this, I am afraid that it will affect the interests of some people. The school clan... are all very troublesome existences. You dominate high-end soul guidance technology and are only willing to teach it in the form of master and apprentice. It is difficult for me. Do it.

If you don’t want to hand over technology and share it, and don’t want to give up your right to speak in the education world, then I can only ask you to die. "

Although ninth-level soul masters are powerful, the ability of academic-level soul masters to deal with emergencies is far inferior to that of soul masters of the same type.

Therefore, surrounded by Xu Tianran's army, these old scholars fell into confusion one by one, and faced a soul torture at gunpoint, whether to share their knowledge.

Of course taking the initiative to create into account. Naturally, Xu Tianran would not choose forced sharing. In this case, future scholars are likely to completely give up on the development of new technologies. In some technical aspects, they will already lag behind the Republic of Dou Ling. If the domestic R\u0026D system is treated so roughly, the consequences will be negligible. Doubts are devastating.

Therefore, the method chosen by the empire was to purchase the patent rights. During the validity period of the patent, if the soul guidance device is produced according to the patented method, the inventor can be compensated for a period of time, but the patent period is not long. After this period, all knowledge must be made public.

With such a set of patented technologies as a guarantee, the empire's top officials neatly implemented the knowledge disclosure plan, and the army directly rushed into the homes of those high-end soul masters.

The remnants of the thoughts of the feudal era have made many high-level soul masters in this era think about keeping their skills secret, just like restaurants, relying on the secret recipe of a dish to retain an advantage in a certain industry for hundreds of years, and it is not easy to establish it forever. family.

Not to mention how naive this kind of thinking is, let’s just say that the impact of this kind of thinking on society is disastrous. It is precisely the self-preservation of brooms in all walks of life that makes it difficult to unify the soul guidance system of the Sun and Moon Empire, and the parts cannot be used universally. Standardization, repeated development of cutting-edge technology, repeated consumption of resources, so that there has been no qualitative breakthrough in technology for three thousand years.

Xu Tianran also discovered this problem after looking at history, so he took the opportunity of the war to take the country's greatest violence into his own hands. He relied on the dividends of the war to gain knowledge and spread it from the hands of the soul masters. s right.

And this part of knowledge will be integrated and disclosed to the entire society, and a standardized soul guidance industrial system will be established to replace the original workshop-style system with soul guidance as the core.

There is no doubt that this is a kind of progress. Even if it is forced by the empire's stubborn resistance, it is still progress. If such progress in the past has been seriously suppressed, but now the gods are desperately practicing. He cultivates his true skills and strives to gain an advantageous position in this change. In a short period of time, he no longer has the intention to interfere with the development of mortals.

Although after the internal integration of the divine world, a great purge of the most mortal world will inevitably occur, the current period of time is undoubtedly the best opportunity for human development.

The educational reform was carried out very thoroughly. During the entire process, three highly respected ninth-level soul masters who had not changed from ancient times were strangled by the army. Not to mention the number of casualties and economic losses caused by the battle, the thoughts in the minds of these ninth-level soul masters were There is no doubt that the knowledge cannot be recovered completely.

In a sense, this can be regarded as a technological regression. If Xu Tianran fails, or does not achieve enough achievements before abdicating, then history will definitely smear him as the biggest sinner in the history of the Sun and Moon Empire and persecute him. A large number of high-level intellectuals have dealt a heavy blow to the development of soul guidance technology in the Sun and Moon Empire, and several of them, the pillars of the country, have been destroyed by destruction.

At that time, there will even be articles that take these high-level soul masters as the first perspective, springing up like mushrooms after a rain, satirizing Xu Tianran's decision to go against his ancestors.

However, these are meaningless. Xiao Xiao, who dared to oppose Xu Tianran under the power, was easily wiped out like a clown. This emperor of the feudal era promoted an industrial revolution with the force of thunder. In a sense, every step he took was leading him to the gallows, and if he made the slightest mistake, he would be doomed.

But in terms of pure courage, among the emperors in the world, there is indeed no one who can compare with him.

At a time when the country was in turmoil due to the knowledge revolution, a batch of brand-new equipment finally came off the production line in the military factory. Amid the waves of excitement, the Sun and Moon Empire created an unprecedented new branch of arms on the mainland...

That is a navy that can gallop across the ocean, bypass defense lines on land, and directly attack the opponent's port!

This is also the first large-scale and organized naval force in the entire Douluo Continent.
