Out of the cage

In the year 2292 of Qin Tongli, in the direction of Lihai and Xianyang, the Orthodox Federation lost twelve generals, more than two million professional troops, and more than 10 million tons of steel.

The Orthodox Federation had to retreat in an all-round way and gave up the production of a large area of ​​territory. All industrial sites and agricultural areas in the Kazan fortress area were blown up and destroyed by the Dongzheng people themselves.

This is the scorched-earth strategy that Maozi implemented in response to the many invasions from the direction of Europa in history. It's just that this trick is effective for Europeans, but for Shenzhou, it's a bit of a slump.

~

Historically, the Europeans pushed eastward to the areas occupied by the Slavs, strategically always targeting the big cities represented by Moscow.

Therefore, for the Europeans, the condition of victory or defeat is whether they can conquer Moscow and make it a satellite country that obeys them. As the defender, the Slavs can survive the opponents from the west as long as they persist to the end.

Now they use the same strategy for Shenzhou, but it is wrong. The opponent's strategic goal in Shenzhou's Mobei Western Regions is "Fuck you, stay away from me!"

The Orthodox Federation retreated sharply, and the Chinese side had no plans to pursue it further. Facing the fertile territory of the Lihai lowland and the lower reaches of the Volga River, there is no intention of occupying it.

That's right, this territory is indeed very fertile, and the blood shed by the peoples around the Lihai Sea can dye the Volga River red. But Shenzhou does not need to pay attention to governance for this land full of contradictions.

Take Zhuangzi's allusion: "The bird catches the rotten mouse, and the bird catches it."

Take the process of fighting against the north in the Han and Tang Dynasties—after striking the powerful enemy in the north, it is to wait for the strong enemy to split.

And now there is this trend. The local forces in the land of Weihai and Weihai land bridges have begun to disobey the Orthodox Federation.

There are several well-known nouns in modern times for that lump: Gnuccia and Chess.

Therefore, after 2292 in the Qin Tongli calendar, the Western Regions of China confirmed that the Orthodox Federation had withdrawn the scorched earth from the Lihai area.

The Shenzhou side declared to seek peace, retreated to the actual control line in the Yibohai area, and suspended the attack on the Eastern Federation. We look forward to further negotiations between Dongzheng and our side.

The battle at the center of the world island started suddenly and ended suddenly.

The war brought certain losses to both sides.

Well, as far as China is concerned, the military equipment that has been hoarded for ten years, as well as billions of tons of logistical supplies, have all been emptied. More than 700 people were killed and lost, which is more painful.

certainly! These military preparations were originally intended to deal with conflicts in the west. Now that the strategic goal has been achieved, it can only be said that this investment has not been in vain.

In the chaotic era of world war, a big country like Shenzhou can use these military investments to obtain a long enough regional peace in a strategic direction, which is not a loss.

And Shenzhou blocked the flames of war on the outside. At the same time, it will shrink after the war, without the mess of post-war governance.

But for the Orthodox Federation, this battle is a mess.

The largest strategic offensive force was completely annihilated. Due to the continuous consumption of blood in the ruling area, industrial productivity dropped by three levels, and it was difficult to recover in a short time.

Most importantly, since the conquest of Europa and the northern part of Dashi, being touched by Shenzhou, the ruling authority of its leading group has been severely weakened.

In the Palace of Light in the Caucasus region, Dongzhengren's "great father" has vacant positions for several generals - including three generals from the future. They were all defects created by China's two-year military attack.

The leader looked at the map around Lihai.

Dongzheng has indeed retreated, but the Persian side deployed the mechanized troops along the Lihai Sea, which made the Dongzheng people very angry.

There is nothing to say about being defeated by the strong, but the Persian region is obviously weak. When Shenzhou no longer had the obligation to invest in a military alliance for it, the Persians took the opportunity to seek benefits here. It's really courageous.

But the Orthodox Federation had no strength to go south at this time, and could only punish the Persians on a small scale at best. But the follow-up problems of the suppression and anti-suppression are endless.

The leader swiped the global map to the north. At this time, the east was facing the undefendable territory of Xianbelia. The leader made the decision to introduce external forces: "Alliance with Edenia."

Across the perspective, at this time, Edenia and Shenzhou are in conflict in the North Pacific Ocean. Introducing Edenia's power to the vast land of Xianbelia and exerting military pressure on Shenzhou can make up for the power vacancy after the failure of the Eastern Battle.

~

The perspective shifts to Tianzhuyang. The industrial construction troops entering the ocean from Shenzhou began to run quickly like clockwork. Wei Keng was also included in the team that went to sea.

On the seabed of the Tianzhuyang Ocean, batches of machines push over 100 meters of ceramic-coated cement components on the seabed to build high-rise buildings in the deep sea.

Graphite battery-powered flying saucer-sea craft shuttles. While stopping, use the squid-like tentacles to sweep the seafloor sediment and identify the bedrock.

In the No. 4 naval military base, I was still thinking about how to lie comfortably two months ago, but now I have to enter the irritable mode.

Wei Keng was impatiently teaching the novice: "Lu Tiansi, I asked you to complete the fresh water pipeline supply of Line 8. How long have you been dawdling? Are you organized?!"

Wei Keng: "Zhao Yunlong, you are amazing. My entire work sequence was agreed at 9:32 in the morning. You took the lead in overturning the haocline, and the entire work brigade asked you to start fighting half an hour earlier. You are faster than my army commander." Niu, you take this position!"——This is disobedience to orders.

The entire No. 4 ocean construction unit saw the style of the new chief within two months—roaring, which was as daunting as the head teacher in high school. Of course, this roar is masculine, without the gloom of the smiling tiger. In the background of too quiet in the deep sea, being able to hear the nagging on the radio can be regarded as popular like "there is a barrage after watching the video".

~

Wei Keng has done many things while working in the ocean and deep sea.

The design of the cockpit was changed, and the bathroom cockpit was partitioned, which solved the problem of difficulty in urinating and pooping.

The problem of seat extension has been changed to solve the problem of long-term sitting work and lumbar pain.

The types of electric heating rice in the deep sea have been increased, so that the deep sea work cabin is no longer lunch meat with vermicelli. There are more than 60 deep-sea recipes such as husband and wife lung slices, Mushu meat, tomato eggs, Sixi meatballs, and Kung Pao chicken.

And in the ocean, base station network cables are installed every one kilometer, which solves the problem of Internet access in the work area. ——In the working area of ​​the No. 4 offshore construction base, it is rare to maintain a good "permanent" work team.

Throughout the deep sea, large refining factories have been established one after another.

The mined minerals move along the water pipeline, and finally flow into the entrance of the building hundreds of meters away, where they are crushed by water flow, precipitated and classified, separated by fresh water, finally screened, and sent to an argon furnace for refining.

This whole set of seabed processing chain is a full two kilometers long, and the ceramic exterior building is as majestic as a mountain.

Since the transportation system in seawater can be larger than that on the ground, the amount of such minerals processed is larger than any system on land, just like the tonnage of blue whales is heavier than any animal on land.

Its full power operation can handle the primary processing and smelting of one billion tons of minerals per year. Supporting the surrounding shallow sea continental shelf factories, forming a further mechanical processing production chain.

Of course, this requires geothermal pipelines to increase energy output, and all mining areas can be effectively developed and transported to production centers. These auxiliary facilities are currently being arranged, and it is expected that all related engineering problems will be resolved in 2295.

~

But what will happen then?

The traditional heavy industrial production will be transferred to the ocean area, and the land economy will be responsible for light industry, information industry, micro-nano field and high-energy particle field.

The second global industrial division of labor will transform the difference between ocean and land.

Perhaps it won't take that long, and now China's marine economy has had a major impact on the Thousand Islands between the Tianzhu Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, as well as the land economic belt of Lizhou.

~

This year, due to the substantial reduction in the cost of raw materials in the deep sea, the shipbuilding industry of the plateau and Lizhou areas has already crushed other old industrial forces in the surrounding area.

Technology was produced on the plateau, and industrial production was organized in Lizhou. Now the production and construction of Dayang Settlement has a military force to ensure the stability of raw materials. Formed a perfect economic chain.

This suffocated the commercial and private forces of the East Ocean faction who were originally planning to sanction the "proletarianization" of Lizhou.

Incompetent and furious, they made the operation of disbanding the manganese nodule mining industry in the Pacific Ocean, and found out that "heavy metals in fishery resources exceeded the standard, which is directly related to the mining of Western Shenzhou", and carried out a series of reports.

Announce a boycott of all industrial products from Tianzhuyang and Lizhou that "do not care for the ocean".

In a series of documentaries, the voices of dissidents who oppose the development of the ocean in Western China will follow their right to speak, and use the music of the hero's return to set off a great atmosphere.

~

Of course none of this is the point. In 2292, at the large automated port in Lizhou, Wei Keng boarded the naval flagship of the Lizhou United Front.

When the 200-meter-long battleship docked with the flat underwater engineering submarine, it was like a paper boat on a tea tray.

When the underwater engineering ship left, the light white underside of the Lizhou battleship slid back into the deep sea, and the bottom of the ship returned to dark blue. This conversion was captured by a high-altitude drone, which can arouse the deep-sea phobia of many viewers.

As the person in charge of building power in the ocean for the people of western China, although he has very little actual combat power, his military defense duties are limited to ocean control.

But the military rank is linked to the official general in Shenzhou, that is, it is parallel to the highest military commander in Lizhou.

The current military force of the United Front in Lizhou was established in the final stage of the campaign in cooperation with the guerrilla warfare organizations in all directions. Speaking of the establishment of the Lizhou National People's Front, Wei Keng was also a veteran.

It is not an exaggeration for the local comrades in Lizhou to give Wei Keng the highest standard of reception. ——But Wei Keng, out of practical considerations, eliminated the guard of honor and the welcome ceremony. Quickly get into the core talks.

~

Wei Keng met Li Ruixin, the current leader of the front in Lizhou.

Because it is the same as the plateau, it has implemented the policy of the management team to go to business, and the two sides have maintained the principles of "no additional restrictions", "trade balance" and "mutual equality" in the industry.

For the plateau area: the ones who can be called comrades are the teams that can maintain the ability of industrialization governance without relying on aid.

This is extremely rare. It needs to have strong organizational capabilities in the popularization of basic education, industrial employment, and economic planning.

Under this premise, transfer technology, or sign a long-term, fiduciary economic complementarity treaty. And jointly carry out scientific and technological development in the beneficial aspect of mankind.

~

This is not the relationship between big brother and little brother in ancient times.

The plateau area did not continue to have "garrison-style military guidance" after the Battle of Lizhou. Lizhou has always been responsible for possible counterattacks by reactionary forces. This means that both parties are equal.

In marine development, 30% of Wei Keng's current team is also from young people from Lizhou. As for what kind of relationship will evolve in the future, anyway, when the economy is integrated, the system is connected, and the personnel of the two sides are highly mobile, the future will lead to the same goal.

~

Wei Keng came to the military headquarters and looked at the map.

In the past two years, the Tang Family Jiedu Envoy Legion in the north has repeatedly crossed the line and provoked. This makes it very likely that the second war of change will break out in Lizhou.

Li Ruixin declared unabashedly: "Such harassment, if things go on like this, we will definitely launch a counterattack."

Wei Keng nodded in acquiescence to this possibility, and at the same time he said with certainty in his heart: "You are just worried that there will be consequences when the Nanyang countries intervene, or even directly exit the Shenzhou Dongbin."

Just as Wei Keng thought, Li Ruixin expressed his concerns: "But if we launch a war, it will affect the involvement of the entire Nanyang side."

Wei Keng looked at the map of Lizhou and said, "There are three Jiedu envoys in Nanyang, four in the Izumo Islands, twelve Qinglong battleships in the Eastern Shenzhou Group, and two million 10,000-ton maritime combat ships. It’s a huge force indeed.”

Wei Keng turned around and asked, "I'm worried about the intervention of this force, right?"

Li Ruixin nodded. There is infinite fatigue in the eyes.

Most of the restoration pressure Xialian faced back then is now borne by Lizhou. Facing the fire in Lizhou in their rear, commercial and private forces used various means of economic blockade, military threats, and public opinion to deny legitimacy.

Wei Keng: "I must tell you that we currently have no conditions to launch a war of change on the mainland of China! If the social change forces in 'Western China' take the initiative to launch a war, they will not get the support of the people in the east."

Li Ruixin still wants to work harder: "Eastern China no longer has the concept of 'social governance'."

Wei Keng nodded seriously: "Yes, and as the most monopolized place, the proportion of propertyless is actually more than 99%. It's just because the chain is loosened that many people mistakenly think that they are enjoying the so-called 'celebrity class consumption'. Petty bourgeoisism. Once contradictions arise, there will be disillusionment. And we have to be patient with the people.”

Li Ruixin: "But the people on my side can't bear the pressure anymore."

Wei Keng: "If you can't bear it, you should resist, and you should resist where you should resist. ——Are you afraid of death?"

Li Ruixin paused, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Are you encouraging us to start the war first?"

Wei Keng understands his emotions. Now that they are in a difficult situation, they don't want another big brother to command the battle and the decision-making.

Wei Keng drew the map, connected Latin American Sunyang and Nanyang and said: "Once your war starts, the organization in Shenzhou will definitely recruit me to fight here, so I am not instigating, but reminding you, My comrades-in-arms. You must now face the fact that the reactionaries want to break through from your weak point."

Wei Keng tapped his finger on the map and raised Yang: "Once you fight here, you will not only have to face the Nanyang Jiedushi. Judging from our transfer of capital and technology in eastern China, those turtle grandsons are now preparing to fight." Find external thugs to resolve internal conflicts."

Li Ruixin immediately walked to the Southwest Pacific Ocean on the map, took a few steps, stared at the Latin American area, and opened the information given by Wei Keng in disbelief: "How dare you do that?"

Wei Keng: "My suggestion is to abandon illusions. It is impossible to resolve the contradiction between different buttocks. The development of business and private interests has become an imperial monopoly today. For the sake of profit, they can trample on everything. I am not instigating you to go to war, but now In the situation, you will be targeted by them."
