Out of the cage

In this world, some opponents may move so slowly that you feel that you have plenty of time. But the rest of the world doesn't wait for the turn of your attention to end.

In the world of Pandora, human city-states are merely the decline of past glory. The old background of industrial and social civilization in the past was too solid, but in essence no fundamental changes have taken place to adapt to this era.

Before Wei Keng arrived, it was the genetic community of this world that really adapted to this era.

The lower reaches of Zhujiaojiao is the most fertile area. In the past 100 years, the genetic species here have been rotated by the surrounding area almost every ten years. And Wei Keng's arrival and occupation can be regarded as a change. But that doesn't mean it won't be challenged by genetic communities in other regions.

On September 28th, when Wei Keng's main attention was still on how to communicate with humans in this world, around Wei Keng, at least three gene groups began to radiate life to each other.

Before the Pandora era, the genetic species on the earth would also diverge under normal circumstances. For example, the genes of the ancient Chinese cats then differentiated into Yang's tiger, Siberian tiger, South China tiger, Bengal tiger, Indochinese tiger, and North China tiger according to different regions. , XJ tiger this kind of thing.

After the age of Pandora, this happened even faster. When a branch of a gene community occupies an area, if the most primitive parent branch of the gene group is eliminated in the species competition and loses the integration at the source, the sibling branch of the gene group and the parent branch will be There will be territorial rivalries.

Of course, in the era of Pandora, the gene community may diverge or re-integrate!

This will happen when you feel stronger genetic radiation different from your own.

Wei Keng has always been worried about "the union of human city-states in the surrounding area", but the union is actually happening among the surrounding gene groups.

The tiger prawns in the creeks and rivers of dozens of kilometers around Weikeng changed again and again, and finally became a unified category. The small herbivores in the caves and the geckos crawling on the treetops also began to converge.

In this area of ​​60,000 square kilometers, an apostle-level super community landed 30 years ago, and after the ultimate node in this area was pinched off, such a combination of genetic communities in this area once again appeared. But this was not noticed by Wei Keng, Wei Keng's attention was still in the human zone.

...

In Ji'an City, September happens to be the production time. The black iron pipes in the factory area are emitting black smoke. The tiled walls are as black as the hearth.

This is the appearance of a relatively advanced industrial city in the 1930s and 1940s. In that era, bright-colored cheongsam and silk stockings had to be worn in such a gray and dirty city.

One of the few buildings left clean in this dusty city is the city's administrative center, where the city's bigwigs are discussing the latest crisis.

Zeng Longmu: "This is the crisis of our city."

No one made any noise at the meeting, acquiescing to the city lord's characterization of the matter. But everyone present knew that it was not so much a crisis in the city as it was a crisis in the political group the city lord belonged to.

Because the person who dispatched military forces 'recklessly' and 'without thinking' is the city lord. If the peace talks are accepted as a defeat, there will be a serious crisis. Therefore, when contacting Weikeng Group again, Ji'an City must maintain a strong attitude. Then solve the problem, um, these problems include a series of exchange relationship issues such as captives and trade.

For such upper-level politicians, politics can be a crime, but mistakes cannot be made. Crimes can be whitewashed, but mistakes will be beaten with a stick until they never recover.

Therefore, the internal council of Ji'an City unanimously passed a decision to remain tough on the "people with the same face" in the south.

And such a confidential decision was leaked to Wei Keng by a caravan who came to Wei Keng two days later.

...

Continue to fight? Wei Keng was a little depressed.

This is a headache for many warring parties in the world, and it cannot end the war. We can only continue to send a large number of investigation forces to the northeast to maintain surveillance on Ji'an City.

There is an account here. To maintain an investigator on the front line, there are three manpower for preparation, standby, and on-duty at the front line, and to maintain three manpower, five people are needed to work in the rear now, although every Wei Keng is All-rounders, on-call and reserve personnel will also hold other positions at the same time. One person can do three jobs, but the impact is still there.

...

That night, Wei Keng met Zeng He and Fang Hong again, and made a deal with them. That is, no matter what the result is in the current situation, they will be released after two months, but the situation between myself and Ji'an City is not just a question of captives, but is involved in a deeper contest.

Wei Keng: "Ji'an City still uses military means to deal with me, which makes us fall into an endless loop in bilateral exchanges - this involves the bottom line, please think from multiple perspectives, when dealing with me, you can always use force Force to achieve the goal, so will we still use force in the next deal? To be honest, I am not afraid of fighting, but I dislike it. I am tired of facing military precautions in all directions all the time, so I must show' Don't eat this set'."

Fang Hong wanted to organize the language to argue: "I think Ji'an City may not mean that."

Wei Keng: "My friend, I'm not talking to you here, I'm just telling you my current attitude towards you. ——I'm quite serious about dealing with Ji'an City. This is a question of yes or no. At the moment In any situation, I will show no mercy to anything that might threaten me, that is to say, at the moment, I hope you can remain neutral, and I don't want you to become an enemy that I have to fire because of some actions, or even~"

Wei Keng looked at Zeng He at the side, and expressed his bottom line sincerity: "Madam can leave first."

Then he turned to Fang Hong: "I continue to detain you! Don't reach out when I'm dealing with Ji'an City."

Zeng He: "You don't need to let me go, I will stay with him."

The girl smiled at the stupefied Fang Hong, and then said to Wei Keng seriously: "You can explain all this clearly, you are much more honest than my uncle, thank you, after this conflict is over, I hope it will be the same again." friend."

Wei Keng: "That's right, it's best if you don't form an enemy." Then he added silently in his heart, "If there is bitter hatred, I will go to the extreme again, and then I will be wrong again."

Bai Linglu: "Are you very assured of their promise?"—the so-called promise here: Zeng He and Fang Hong will not make small moves as captives when they are on the side of Ji'an City.

Wei Keng: "Of course, don't worry, I will send someone to watch them."

Bai Linglu: "Oh."——As a supervisor, she is obliged to remind Wei Keng of some risks.

Wei Keng continued: "The reason why we just met and talked so much is because I hope to reduce the probability of "I have to press the trigger on them"."

Bai Linglu thought for a while, now she found out that her partner has devoted a lot of attention to the human society of this plane, avoiding many things as much as possible, instead of "just touch it if you rely on strength" .

And is this an advantage or a disadvantage in time travel?

If Wei Keng could answer this question, it might be: "If I do this, it should be similar to the choice of ordinary people."

...

In October, the coolness of autumn has not yet reached South China.

Here in Ji'an City, the "March of the Big Bad Guys" started.

Standing on the hill eight kilometers outside Ji'an City, I saw the city, from the inside to the outside, the gate of the three-story cement city wall was opened, and a marching column emitting black smoke passed through it and left the city.

Hey guys, six diesel armored vehicles in the queue. Of course it's not a serious military armored vehicle, well, it's almost a tractor engine, something welded with iron sheets, and it can be heard from a distance of one kilometer. There are more than 40 carriages in this team, and the total number is about 500 people. Wei Keng saw through the binoculars that there seemed to be many AK series automatic rifles in their individual weapons.

If it is a weapon of this type, and well maintained, the gun still has a dense spread at a range of two hundred meters. In other words, this team can contain its squad tactics by shooting from two hundred meters away.

In the field of ruffian fights, there is no difference between a big black star and a long gun, because the battles are all within the range of 20 to 30 meters, but on the battlefield, one side can use accurate weapons within the range of 200 to 400 meters. Continuous firepower, but the other side cannot, then the weaker side will not be able to conduct tactical maneuvers, and any company that wants to raise its head will be suppressed by the firepower, and then sit back and watch the opponent outflank under the cover of firepower.

The battle in the Himalayas in 1962 was like that. The semi-automatic rifle obtained from the Soviet Union successfully suppressed the Sten submachine gun left over from World War II in Britain. The effective range of the Sten submachine gun is only more than 100 meters. If it exceeds 100 meters, the bullets will scatter and it will be difficult to cause damage. But now Wei Keng's batch of newly-made single-shot rifles are forged with rail steel. Due to the unqualified rifling and low-velocity bullets of black powder, the range is only two hundred meters. As for the firepower, it is not as good as the Sten submachine gun.

Regarding this, Wei Keng had to sigh with emotion: These city-states have really solid foundations inherited from the civilized age.

...

Sitting on the armored vehicle at this time is the old military strongman in the city: Zeng Kaomu.

The white beard is famous in the city for his stubble hair and even tougher temper. Now he is carrying six mechanical war tanks and fifteen medium-sized (less than 700 kg) mechanical war beasts. At this time, he raised his head, stood up from the hatch of the armored vehicle, and looked ahead.

Suddenly he saw a sign erected on the road ahead, and the old man picked up the binoculars to look at the content on the sign: "Stop advancing, armed conflict is not beneficial to both parties, please bring all issues back to the negotiating table."

The old man threw the binoculars to the officer on the side, and laughed loudly to the left and right: "I thought it was so tough, but when my gun cart came out, I was scared, hahaha!" Then he raised his whip and said, "Old man It is a pity that the first soldier and horse can't find a body wrapped in horse leather."

The old general was so forthright, and other military personnel cheered happily, as if defeating the enemy this time was like picking something out of a bag.

Pointing the old man's whip, the armored vehicle increased its horsepower. Rolling forward, it knocked down the sign that Wei Keng had erected for them half an hour ago.

Wei Keng's No. 1 Brigade on the top of the mountain watched this scene, and couldn't help but wondered in mutual telepathy: "Are they illiterate?"

Then Wei Keng saw the old man spit on the broken sign when the chariot drove forward, so he was sure: "It should be either illiterate or just arrogant."

However, arrogance comes at a price.

...

For Wei Keng, this battle was an unexpected overtime game. But Wei Keng had plans before the war.

Wei Keng: Our main force is equipped with miniature submachine guns, which are not suitable for frontal combat. If the opponent is determined to fight, it will be difficult for our side to gain the upper hand in a firefight.

The only way is to use the sniper rifle piecemeal during its march, and at the same time use all possible blocking positions along the way to harass as much as possible, that is, shoot from all directions, do not require a hit, interfere with the actions of multiple parties as much as possible, and shoot a sniper when it is chaotic. The rounds of mortars fired rapidly, and then quickly broke away. Let its armored forces and large forces emerge and separate, and wait for the opportunity to annihilate them.

The plan has been determined, but Wei Keng is still worried: who can guarantee that the other party does not have grenades? What if the enemy's will is far beyond my imagination, and he has excellent combat qualities. After encountering an enemy attack, he will use a grenade to shoot a round at the area of ​​​​the cold gun, lock his own array, and launch a countercharge?

Then his harassment battle on the blocking position will be transformed into a limited encounter war.

Therefore, the only heavy machine gun that they carry will be hidden and deployed on high ground. Once the opponent organizes a charge, the heavy machine gun will fire to provide cover.

Bai Linglu didn't say anything about Wei Keng's discussion, she really wanted to eat melon seeds.

...

Back to the present, twenty seconds after the sign was crushed, the armored vehicle drove forward 150 meters recklessly, and suddenly seemed to knock off a steel wire tied to the tree stump.

After a delay of about a second—

There was an explosion on the side of the road, and a piece of metal was squeezed by the pot-shaped explosives and turned into a high-speed metal block, which directly hit the inside of the armored vehicle. With a bang, the bottom of the civilian steel plate spliced ​​tank was torn apart by the metal block. A large piece, and then the interior misfired.

This thing is very common on the roadside of the Middle East in the 21st century. American mercenaries = security personnel, as well as the American military recruited by the puppet government in the region, are often warmly received by this.

Now, as the weaker side, Wei Keng must learn how to cook this dish to entertain guests.

Now it works great when "serving".

This blast sent the old man with white beard away. Under the force of the impact, the whole person was ejected from the cover of the armored vehicle, like fat particles squeezed out of acne.

The old general was still half-breathing in the upper half of his body, but the lower half of his body was pierced by the metal jet.

After the explosion,

Wei Keng, who "sees things from a developmental perspective", looked at the chaos in the ambushed circle, and once again abolished the previous plan.

The troops that were aggressive just now are like ants that have exploded their nests. Not to mention the counterattack at the company level, even the team level has disappeared.

That's it? In this way, "the tree falls and the monkeys scatter", Wei Keng feels that it is possible to fight a wave.

So the Wei Keng group's order in the system sent the "general attack" order together with the semaphore and the signal flare.

In the dimension, the little hand recorded by Bai Linglu moved again, and his mouth couldn't help curling.
