Out of the cage

Sky Empire relatively believes in the "Lord of Steam".

After the defeat of the front line of the empire, and frequent revolutions. When the empire's finances are in short supply.

There are seals affixed to the brass gate of the inner vault of the palace in the Sky Empire.

The Queen's Evil Breakers naturally tested the power of the "curse". When they opened the treasury, they found that every gold coin was covered with blood! Ominous gold coins are mixed in, and have infected the entire vault.

The mystics of the Sky Empire were informed by the imperial court that these blood-stained gold coins had caused three chiefs in charge of the imperial treasury to go crazy, self-mutilate, and die accidentally within a few months.

It is also impossible to check the specific source of this "cursed power". I just know that it has something to do with the grievances in the exhausted cities of the empire.

The "Chief Scholar" of the Empire's evil-fighting team made the following suggestions on the curse of gold coins in the treasury.

That is to disperse all the property in the treasury. And it can't be dispersed in the country, it must be dispersed abroad to buy supplies. Because if it is scattered in the country, it will also flow into the center again due to circulation (mainly into the hands of large business groups headed by the powerful, and more opportunistic robbery will occur in this process), which will further rot the foundation of the entire country.

After hearing such a solution, the nobles of the Sky Empire. The discussion became hesitant.

Because this is the gold coin of the entire treasury, and the accumulation of wealth for decades has been exhausted, which is enough to severely damage the vitality of the empire. So far, the rulers of the empire still want to purify the gold coins and lift the curse on them.

While they were discussing, the captain of the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie, Seagate (female), said: "This curse is still strengthening, the longer the country holds it, the more mutations will occur."

As if to confirm Seagate's words, that afternoon, with the support of the revolutionaries in the empire, a Gui Peisheng in the imperial workshop assassinated the governor of the southern part of the empire at the train station. It was a sign that the foundations of the empire were faltering.

Sky Empire decided to spend the money anyway and buy supplies from outside. Solve the increasingly burdensome contradictions in the empire.

...However, the external situation puts the last weight on the surviving empire...

In January 30th, Thunderbolt Alliance. After the Sky Empire's front line collapsed, the Kingdom of Osima in the alliance arrived at the seaport controlled by the southern part of the Sky Empire with armored forces. There is a creaking nest on the right side of the "T"-shaped continent.

Osima's general, Ming Fanding. This general led almost purely air force operations.

Except for the ground mechanical walking platform (2,000 tons, four-legged combat vehicle) on which he was riding, the other eighteen units were all airborne units.

There are aircraft carrier-type airships that specialize in air control. There are two huge donut exits on the belly of this type of airship, which can retract the fighter jets it carries.

There are also air battleships that mainly attack the ground: this type of vehicle uses heavy artillery and missiles to bomb the ground.

The airship is a vehicle that ensures tactical maneuvering. Its bearing capacity is far greater than the air buoyancy of the airbag. It should be that the airship chassis is built by building a "seemingly invisible" air column and walking with "shadowless feet". .

Ming Fanding is a level seven hero, among the three skills, there is a super skill.

When the army of the Kingdom of Osima approached, Fortress Lothar on the southeast coast of the empire faced the main fleet in the area.

When the ordinary peasants of the empire in the southern territory saw the black formation of metal battleships in the sky above the clouds, the propellers stirred the clouds. His expression changed from numbness to panic.

The giant airship attacked by the enemy, like a battleship in the air, began to rotate the huge turret-shaped disc at the bottom. The thick rocket-propelled warheads on the launch tubes were launched from the air, spread their wings, and hit the towering fortress on the ground of the empire with a trajectory visible to the naked eye.

Ming Fanding first ordered the airship to bomb and emptied the enemy fighter jets, then he opened the lids of the land battleships one by one, and the lids of the pots like radar transmitters pointed at the sky one by one, emitting light.

His ground self-propelled mechanical platform has four sets of semi-arc-shaped air-to-air radars.

These radars radiated light towards the sky, and immediately stirred the air charge in the sky.

Soon, lightning and thunder appeared in the sky. Under the lightning and thunder, Ming Fanding's battle airship still traveled fearlessly, but the lightning fell into the Losar Fortress like a rail gun.

Twenty iron-clad ships of different sizes at sea were all hit by the "light from the sky", and some of them ignited raging fires.

The flagpoles of the fortress on the ground were directly scorched and melted, and the windows and gates inside the building, under the injection of ball lightning, there were ammunition explosions.

The whole big move lasted twenty minutes. After the attack of the Ming Fanding land battleship, the huge radar screen like a sail was withdrawn from the mechanical cover.

And the entire Lothar Fortress, it cannot be said that it has suffered a nuclear attack, but there are flames and smoke on the large and small buildings.

By the time the Sky Empire's air fighter formation arrived with shaking biplanes, Ming Fanding's troops had already evacuated.

In this battle, the shortage of ammunition supply for the entire front line of Sky Empire expanded from 15% to 30%. The defense line of the empire is already a dilapidated house, which can collapse with just one push.

…although some of the sergeant-level combat lunatics in the lower trenches still want to continue fighting heroically, the upper levels have been overwhelmed…

Fifteen days later, the Empire and the Thunderbolt Alliance signed a peace agreement, making concessions, compensation and other agreements. Of course, the Thunderbolt Alliance must open up commercial roads and promise not to support the rebels in the empire.

The Thunderbolt Alliance readily agreed, and the empire began to pay the first gold coins. At the same time, when buying supplies with gold coins.

The diplomats of the empire looked at the Thunderbolt Alliance, and there was no difference in getting the gold coins, and they were a little hesitant and reluctant.

But the "scholar" of the empire's evil-fighting team at the scene of the compensation pushed his glasses and reminded them: "The curse is still there, but it's hidden."

The Anglo-led Thunderbolt Alliance has scored a major victory, and the guns of its imperial harbors roar to celebrate. Of course, the domestic financial groups are also reveling in this victory, but they don't know that after the inflow of gold coins, the factory owners of these forces have started to "compare" wealth more and more, exploit Also gradually began to increase.

…empires, communist wars, victory is the victory of the few, defeat is the loss of all...

In cities to the north, Enma is promoting a "new entertainment" movement.

Among them, the first is to ban the "card game" of aristocratic culture. A kind of card game is popular in the empire now, with small cards of historical figures, such as Roxy Knight, Princess Silut and the like. Based on the lives of these characters, some card skills were designed. (similar to the card of Three Kingdoms). But the problem is that this kind of multiplayer game is too complicated, too time-consuming, and too brain-intensive. And the necessary social activities have been formed.

Enma's concept: "An activity that has become a public social necessity must be simplified."

No matter how fun this kind of historical card is, it is essentially a waste of time. Interested people can consume time, nothing. But becoming a "social access" is tantamount to consuming society's time.

For example, the wine culture in the ancient times: three or two friends drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, it’s nothing. But forcibly pushing it to "public" has become a social entry threshold, so that newcomers "can't drink, don't know how to understand", such a "drinking table culture" adds additional obstacles to industrial collaboration and communication between old and new personnel .

...multidimensional warfare is not limited to artillery, but also culture...

In the distant universe, why do complex "cards" appear on the plane of modern technology, industry, and machinery?

This may be the influence left over from the last time Wei Keng crossed.

At that time, "Sains" carried out the Internet system and produced a large number of concepts. Wei Keng couldn't resist, so he could only use the "concept" of creating games to hedge against the concept of "succubus".

But nowadays, when network bards create communication concepts, they gradually tend to "complicate" and create trends to outline reality in the ether world.

Therefore, the knights on those cards really exist, and they can be summoned into reality through special props.

Now, in rural and rural areas, Enma has gradually replaced overly aristocratic card games with activities such as "backgammon" and "table tennis". Of course, in this way, this kind of behavior of suppressing the trend is "evil" in the eyes of the trend side.

And Enma, who is carrying out cultural reforms, perceives that there seems to be "something" surging in the etheric world.

Enma: "It should not be a good thing"

…High piles of grain were piled into the warehouses, and the people in the rural villages began to relax during the free time determined by the commune. At this time, no one rolled up…

After playing a round of table tennis, Enma sat by the table, listening to the information just received from the system. ——Ominous gold coins are now killing crazy. Dirty the treasury of the imperial capital, and then go abroad, rushing to the whole world.

Now in the empire, after the defeat of the war, a large number of factories stopped suddenly, all supply chains stopped, a large number of workers lost their jobs, and a large number of managers woke up from the state of drawing cakes. After a few days of being forced to curse, these imperial banks Both entrepreneurs and factory owners should be hanged.

If a lie is exposed, it will be violently counterattacked.

Just as an example: Ma Jack, who raises ghost dolls, maintains a false "income" process on the spiritual level of all grassroots people who work for him.

Once these "illusory pies" are not supported, they will also encounter strong backlash! When thousands of people start to abuse, a negative mental field will also be generated, and this is the source of the growth of the ominous gold coin.

The ominous gold coin refined by Enma is just a "bullet" with sparks. The bullet pierced the "gasoline barrel" and ignited a raging fire, and the "gasoline" inside was still spreading.

The scale of thinking that the ominous gold coin has now absorbed is too huge, and it has formed a concept, not limited to a physical gold coin, just like the concept that Santa Claus will appear on every chimney.

"Blood on gold coins", this concept will appear in the pockets of every capitalist. This is already a spirit polluting evil thing.

Such a result is beyond the scope of control that En Ma originally assumed. ——In short, play big.

On the court, Enma waved the table tennis racket and said to his opponent: "Come on, let's play another round."
