Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

From a purely military perspective, "horse vaulting" operations can be summed up in "overinvestment" operations.

In a minor strategic direction, there are no important resources, and there is no transportation hub that deserves special attention. Indigenous people are reckless, economically backward, industries are almost non-existent, and agricultural products can barely maintain self-sufficient mountains. A lot of elite combat forces are invested in the environment-no matter how small it is compared to the total standing army. The fact that the investment and the income are not proportional is still irrefutable.

At the extreme point of speaking, instead of investing in elite troops to conduct a massive and protracted anti-guerrilla war, it may be more cost-effective to directly drop a super bomb. At most, in addition to the cost of manufacturing, transportation, and delivery of the super bomb itself, plus the cost of reprinting the map to adapt to the changed terrain, compared with the huge expenditures required by the security war, these are not It's just small money.

However, as people know, war is never just a professional field of military personnel, and it is always political leaders who ultimately formulate and decide to implement national strategic guidelines. Political leaders may lack military literacy, have not received systematic military education, and are insufficient in the military field, but this does not prevent them from a higher level-that is, from the overall strategy, after fully integrating information and resources, Make a trade-off to get the optimal solution.

Military is only part of the war, not all.

The current empire’s top priority is to stabilize the situation, develop the economy and industry, and prepare for the increasingly obvious cold war and possible hot war. Either the security war or the economic war, the war itself is not an end, but a means to guarantee economic development and political stability.

In other words, butter is the top priority now, and the cannon should make way for butter.

Some people may ask, in this case, wouldn't it be more in line with this demand to use mass destruction weapons to cut through the chaos?

On the surface alone, this is indeed the case. A super bomb that destroyed towns, flattened mountains to the ground, and completely changed the terrain was enough to allow those who were misbehaving to settle for a period of time, and the people would hide their thoughts of resistance and wear masks of obedience. However, in this way, the rule of the empire was actually reduced to terrorist politics, an administrative machine purely dependent on violence. The Charlemagne may succumb to such violent **** on the surface, but deep down they will think that "Charlemagne's failure is simply because science and technology are not as good as the elven camp, and the ideas, systems, and claims of the Charlemagne kingdom are still correct." In such an ideological atmosphere, nationalist ideas will gain a breeding ground, Charlemagne's national independence consciousness will rise again, and resistance will become more and more intense.

What's more, the frequent use of weapons of mass destruction will reduce their mystery and psychological deterrent ability. Just as the poison gas just entered the First World War, the ordinary soldiers of the British and French coalition forces "smell the poison", and all kinds of terror about the poison gas Rumors were circulating around the trenches, and when the poison gas was lost in three meals a day, everyone was numb to it. Perhaps nuclear bombs are far more powerful than poisonous gas, but this principle is not applicable to nuclear bombs.

Weapons of mass destruction can best exert their deterrent power on the launcher. If you want the sword of Damocles suspended above people's head to continue to produce a deterrent effect, don't use it casually and let it be fully maintained. The mysterious colors give people the space to imagine, so that the fear deeply buried in the hearts of everyone can be kept fresh.

Therefore, "horse vaulting" operations can only use conventional combat power, so that all people who still have illusions and are not willing to be controlled by the empire fully understand that even if weapons of mass destruction are not used, the empire will be enough to crush all resistance. The dominance of the empire is rock-solid, and only a few guns and a few people cannot shake the big picture. No matter how brave and tenacious these rebels have behaved, and the impressive results they have achieved, the final victory is still the empire. The powerful Imperial Defence Force will inevitably wipe out all the rebels-from the physical to the spiritual.

As for why the "horse vault" operation is only directed against the "Liberty Army", it is mainly because they are the most powerful guerrillas in the border area, and at the same time they are an anti-imperial force with a clear political position. Such guerrilla forces are placed at any time and place, and the ruling authorities will want to get rid of them soon. We must know that this is a political military organization with a firm belief and action to subvert the existing centralized political system and the world order. Let this kind of left-wing military organization grow, and the first hapless person is definitely the ruling party and All upper floors.

This is a war between nations, and it is a desperate struggle between different ideas. Both sides have no room for retreat. Either you die or I die.

Therefore, in the "horse vault" operation, the defense army will use all means to force "the people in the high castle"-that is, Roland, to completely eliminate the "free legion" military command structure and the source of ideas, spreading the disease Previously, it was strangled with precise surgical strikes, not giving it the opportunity to develop into ulcers or even cancer.

——Even knowing this, the actual operation is still...

Swallowing a sigh, Casper regurgitated disgust and irritability in his heart.

No regrets, nor pity.

As the emperor's guard, as the sword and shield protecting the emperor and the empire, there is no such thing as sympathy for the enemy. The sword will not sympathize, and the shield will not have mercy, but will bring death to the enemy's head.

No matter how you argue, the so-called "unarmed villagers" will provide assistance to guerrillas will not change. When they decided to hide the guerrillas in their homes, send their sons, husbands, and brothers to the guerrillas, provide their rations to the guerrillas, and pass on information to the guerrillas to deliver ammunition, they already used their own The action showed its position. These people are not innocent people. They are part of the guerrillas and the enemy of the empire. The encounter at this moment is nothing more than paying the price for his previous actions. Recalling 10,000 steps, even if these people really did not have trouble with the guerrillas, in order to lead Roland out, in order not to let the military secrets of the empire leak, they had to let them sacrifice for the empire.

The so-called total war is such a thing, there is no front and rear, there are no soldiers and civilians, only the targets needed.

Sympathy and compassion after your hands are covered with blood? There is also a limit to hypocrisy. This so-called "conscience discovery" is basically no different from insult, but it is self-justification and self-consolation such as "I have not lost humanity", "I am not the worst", No one can cheat except yourself. It will only make you feel mad.

Casper's irritability and anxiety is entirely due to the "Legion".

Indeed, the "Legion" demonstrated outstanding performance in this operation, which fully proved its value and broad application prospects.

They are fast, deadly, cheap, intrepid, and cold-hearted~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ is almost the perfect ideal weapon.

However, Casper did not like the "Legion".

To be correct, I do not like the fact that the "legion" dominates the battlefield.

-It's like throwing all the duty of protecting yourself and fighting to the machine.

At the thought of this, Casper couldn't resist the irritability.

Just as he tried to shake off emotions that might interfere with thinking, an operator's recitation echoed through the command.

"Find the target! Repeat it, find the target!"

After three seconds of silence, Casper laughed like a child.

——It finally appeared.
