Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 1372 Operation Ballista (please subscribe)

Although the isolated island looks like a paradise, it is actually a very fragile ecological environment. The slightest problem may be magnified into a disaster. One of the more common problems is caused by outsiders. diseases, so many primitive tribes living on small islands or rain forests are now protected, and outsiders are prohibited from approaching them at will, in order to prevent outsiders from bringing in various diseases that do not exist on small islands or rain forests.

Even a small cold may destroy a primitive tribe on a small island.

According to current research, the indigenous people of Easter Island are Polynesians. They migrated from other islands to escape and rowed canoes. Of course, more importantly, there are two nearest inhabited islands to Easter Island. More than a thousand kilometers.

It is said that when Liu Xing heard the news for the first time, he was sincerely admired by these Polynesians, because they could sail thousands of kilometers on the Pacific Ocean in canoes. Of course, the Polynesians have always been admired. It is called the true and most seafaring nation, because during the period of great navigation, there was a tribal priest who could relatively accurately map many islands in the Pacific without other auxiliary means.

After settling on Easter Island, this group of Polynesians cut off contact with other tribes. After all, they fled away from home. However, there were actually some aborigines on Easter Island at this time, and there were also Fortunately, Easter Island is quite large, so the two sides were able to coexist peacefully at the beginning.

However, as the population of the island grew and the Polynesians cut down the forest in order to expand the area of ​​cultivated land, as a result, even if the land on the island was planted with crops, it could not feed everyone, and because the forest had long been cleared, Easter Island People on the island couldn't make canoes and go out to catch fish, and they couldn't leave Easter Island to find another way out. . . Finally, a war started on Easter Island. Before the victors had time to celebrate, they found that the land they had snatched had been depleted of fertility and could no longer grow food.

So in the end, when the navigators arrived on Easter Island, in addition to seeing numerous Moai statues, they also discovered a small tribe of cannibals.

That's right, a tribe that had already developed civilization degenerated into the most primitive and terrifying cannibal tribe in order to survive.

But is all this true?

The above content can be said to be the story that most people have been exposed to at present. The core of the story is that because the population growth of the aboriginal people on Easter Island exceeded the carrying capacity of the land, the ecological system of Easter Island directly collapsed, and finally This led to the direct extinction of the indigenous people on Easter Island.

However, according to the records left by several captains who first arrived at Easter Island, everything on Easter Island in their writings was normal, and it can even be said that life was quite good, because the island had a large population, and it was estimated that it should exceed There are a thousand people, and these residents are healthy and optimistic, and they also provide a large amount of supplies for the fleet.

Can this also be said to be the end of the game?

Of course not.

So here I have to mention why the navigators at that time appeared in the Pacific. You must know that Europeans at that time took the closer Atlantic route if they wanted to go to the New World, and most ships would stop when they reached China. Trade and then sail straight back.

So these ships running to the Pacific were actually looking for the legendary southern continent, because people at that time felt that since there was Eurasia and America in the north, there should also be a large landmass in the south, so there was A group of so-called experts located the southern continent in the southern Pacific Ocean, and believed that there would be a large number of gems and spices there.

As a result, many navigators who wanted to make a name for themselves, or make a lot of money, came to the Pacific and came into contact with the indigenous people of the Pacific islands. . . According to records left on other islands, a large number of indigenous people died due to foreign diseases at that time, and many slave traders came to capture the indigenous people.

This is already considered a basic routine.

So there are so many unsolved mysteries, they are just lies told by some people to save their own face.

The Mysteries of the Mayans and Aztecs are no different.

Discover, exterminate, lie, and this heinous history will be wiped away.

“When savages want to become gentlemen, the first thing they have to do is to erase their disgraceful history so that they can point fingers at others from the moral high ground; and now , the fake gentlemen who had the power to speak began to make up stories one after another to make the new generation believe that the great auk is just a legendary creature, and that the indigenous people of Easter Island became extinct due to ecological collapse caused by themselves.”

Yin Luyang took a sip of tea, shook his head and said: "Of course the most interesting thing is that young people in European and American countries today think that it was the United States and England that defeated Germany... If it was just the United States, I would still think it is acceptable, because although the United States is Picking peaches, but the resources and casualties it invested were still real, and they were shown in many battles, but England..."

Speaking of this, Yin Luyang suddenly realized that Alice and Dior next to him seemed to be from England, so for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue talking.

As a result, Alice shrugged and said with a smile: "Professor Yin, don't worry. In fact, I also think that England's performance that year can be summarized as insufficient success and more than enough failure. If England had not made a series of wrong decisions in the early stage, it would not be the same. It made Germany grow bigger quickly and gave rise to inexplicable self-confidence; then in the first stage of the war, England just couldn't fight and was the first to run away. If they didn't agree, they would sell their teammates and retreat."

"Yes, during the Dunkirk evacuation, after England realized that it had insufficient transport capacity, it decisively chose to deceive the French to go to the rear, and first withdrew the large troops to the homeland. In the end, some of them lost contact or were The English soldiers who had to stay in France during the siege were packaged as heroes who took the initiative to stay and fight alongside the French." Dio also complained: "Looking at the war that year, although England participated in many important battles, but to say what contribution England made in these campaigns is to send a group of men to make up the numbers.”

"And the friendly troops who beat me up."

As a player of Azur Lane, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel aggrieved for his Jean Bart, "To be honest, although England and France have been in conflict for hundreds or even thousands of years, they ended up facing a common enemy. At that time, England did not forget to look for opportunities to deceive its allies. When retreating, they simply ignored orders and ran away in advance. They also sent people to sink French warships, in the name of preventing these warships from surrendering to the enemy."

Operation Ballista was England's preparation to gather or destroy the French fleet outside the homeland to ensure that these warships would not be handed over to Germany by France, which had surrendered.

This seems to be a very normal decision, because Germany at that time lacked naval ships, so in order to prevent Germany from gaining complete control of the sea, it was still necessary to prevent the French fleet from falling into German hands.

However, just looking at the actual situation at the time, you can see that England was obviously too hasty, because the French fleet was located in North Africa far away from the mainland, and the most important battleship Jean Bart was only a semi-finished product, so even if this fleet was It may take about a year for Germany to take over and really form combat effectiveness and appear in the English Channel.

More importantly, North Africa has always been France's traditional sphere of influence before, so the Allies have always had the advantage on the battlefield here. Of course, this may also be related to the fact that their main enemy is Italy.

Therefore, the French fleet in North Africa had a good chance of going to other Allied ports to continue repairs and then join the war against Germany. However, it was blocked by the English fleet as an enemy and bombarded and sunk at the port.

If this French fleet is really the enemy, then the ballista operation can be said to be France's greatest result in this war.

At this moment, Lu Tianya suddenly said: "Well, by the way, I heard the news two days ago that not all members of the Oda family betrayed the Wu family faction... This can also be regarded as the traditional performance of the Oda family. Well, the direct and collateral branches of the family have their own ideas, so there is still a branch of the Oda family left in the samurai faction, and their ancestor seems to be Oda Tatsukatsu."

"That's interesting. Oda Nobunaga's lineage was originally just a branch of the Oda family. However, because Oda Nobunaga's father, Oda Nobhide, was a talented person, he quickly made a name for himself. His family was very powerful. It soon surpassed the main family entrenched in Qingzhou City, so Oda Nobhide had always planned to turn against the foreigners and annex the main family to strengthen his own strength. In the end, the head of the family, Oda Tatsukatsu, was forced to compromise many times; and in Oda Nobunaga's generation , our family had to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy, so now the descendants of Oda Tatsukatsu's lineage have chosen to draw a clear line with the Oda family, which is reasonable." Juri Sonoda said with a smile.

Hearing what Sonoda Juri said, Liu Xing couldn't help but frown, because hundreds of years have passed, and logically speaking, there is not much possibility for the descendants of Oda Tatsukatsu to part ways with the Oda family. After all, time can It dilutes a lot of things, and more importantly, in today's situation, the descendants of Oda Tatsukatsu are unlikely to be trusted, so there is a high possibility that they are responsible for some logistical work.

If not, Liu Xing can be sure that these descendants of Oda Tatsukatsu are preparing to make a living.

Before Liu Xing could speak, Alice took the lead and asked: "Oh, which war zone are these Oda family members assigned to? They won't be responsible for transporting supplies on the periphery, right?"

"It seems to be in the second war zone."

After Sonoda Zhuri thought for a while, he said: "Originally, these people would be assigned to the command headquarters to be responsible for logistics work, such as serving tea and water, or standing guard, but they thought that the members of the Oda family who had taken refuge in Mikageichi would be replaced by They were humiliated, so they wanted to wash away their shame through fighting, so they found the Wakasa Takeda family who had some relationship with them as a guarantor, so they went to the Second War Zone with the Wakasa Takeda family, which was located in Facing the war zone at the foot of Mount Fuji on the side of the public faction, so as long as nothing unexpected happens, that should be the war zone where the fighting starts first and where the fighting is the fiercest."

"Wait a minute, I remember that the Wakasa Takeda family is a branch of the Takeda family, right?" Alice couldn't help but said: "The first generation head of the Wakasa Takeda family received the order of the shogun, and after conquering the original Wakasa daimyo—— After the success of the Isshiki family, they became the new daimyo of Wakasa. At the same time, they had always maintained a good relationship with the shogun, so they looked down on their poor relatives in Mount Kai. So the Wakasa Takeda family and the Takeda family The relationship became weaker and weaker, and there was almost no communication.”

Isn't this another 25-year-old?

Liu Xing suddenly had a headache.

Although the Wakasa Takeda family began to lose contact with the Takeda family after they became prosperous, this was all hundreds of years ago. Moreover, although the Takeda family lived in poverty after the Warring States Period, the Wakasa Takeda family It was even worse, because the Wakasa Takeda family could be said to have surrendered to the Ashikaga shogunate in all aspects, so after the Ashikaga shogunate began to decline, the Wakasa Takeda family also began to decline, and the retainers below also began to practice traditional arts- -The bottom overcomes the top, and when the Ashikaga Shogunate is completely finished, the Wakasa Takeda family will inevitably go to destruction.

Of course, although the name of the Wakasa Takeda family is gone, their bloodline is still preserved, so they are likely to return to their own family to hug each other for warmth, so Liu Xing suddenly began to doubt whether the Wakasa Takeda family would They will be undercover agents of the Takeda family. If this is the case, then what do they want to do after joining the Oda Tatsukatsu lineage?

Is it to open the door and let the soldiers of the public faction enter Mount Fuji?

No, the Takeda family has now betrayed the public faction, so the Wakasa Takeda family is unlikely to stand on the side of the public faction, and the same is true for the descendants of Oda Tatsukatsu, because logically they are on the side of Mikage of.

Mikage Yi? !

Liu Xing frowned and suddenly thought of a very serious question, that is, will Mikage Yi appear in this final decisive battle?

Could it be that Mikage Kazu also wants to conduct a ballista operation?
