Chapter 314: The loyalty of the extraordinary

Meng Chao glanced at the wall clock hanging high above Gao Ye.
Time is on his side.
He said: "I don't understand more and more. What do you say about these old sesame seeds and rotten grains have to do with the future of Longcheng?"
"History is like a mirror that can illuminate our future."
The flame in Gao Ye’s one-eyed eyes became brighter, but the expression on his face became calmer and calmer.
As the scale and intensity of colonial wars continue to expand, a large amount of resources and war dividends will continue to be concentrated on the extraordinary, especially Gao. The supernatural beings help them attack a higher realm and control more powerful combat power.
"Of course, these transcendents will naturally have greater power, and only in this way can they cope with the needs of colonial warfare.
"As the occupied area continues to expand and the supply line becomes longer and longer, ordinary human soldiers represented by the Red Dragon Army will become weaker and weaker, unable to exert the power of the so-called'iron torrent'.
"In the final analysis, the seemingly devastating, invincible'steel torrent', to exert 100% combat effectiveness, requires an unimpeded transportation network and strong logistical support.
"Hardened roads, railways, a large number of airports and heavy transport aircraft, sea routes escorted by aircraft carrier formations, a stable and reliable heavy industry system that will not be easily destroyed by the enemy... Only when these conditions are in place can the'steel flood' change from a propaganda slogan reality.
"Unfortunately, you shouldn't expect an alien civilization-assuming there is a civilization here, how many hardened roads and railways do you have?
"Although Longcheng has developed a large number of automated and efficient engineering equipment.
"But it is almost impossible to spread the dense transportation network across the entire alien world without being damaged by alien creatures.
"This means that it will be very difficult for the Red Dragon Army to implement the strategic maneuvers of the large corps in the way of fighting in the earth age on the vast land of another world. Even if it is realized, the cost will reach the earth age. Ten times or even a hundred times the astronomical military expenditures, enough to bring down the entire financial system.
"In the end, Dragon City can only choose to devote most of its resources to transcendents, and replace a regular army with transcendents who are flexible, without logistical pressure, but can'one horse as a thousand.'
"When the transcendents increasingly become the protagonists of the war, the Red Dragon Army and other ordinary human armed forces will fall into a vicious circle because they cannot obtain resources, and will gradually degenerate into supporting actors and subordinates. They will no longer be able to attack the city. It is only local. The existence of the security army.
"Student Meng Chao, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Meng Chao opened his mouth.
I want to say: "Too reasonable."
More than justified, this is the fact in the memory fragments of Meng Chao's previous life.
To say a thousand words and ten thousand, in a world with extraordinary power, the combat effectiveness of mortal soldiers is too weak, and there are too many restrictions on wanting to exert 100% combat effectiveness.
The key is logistics supplies.
When the Red Dragon Army defended the Dragon City, backed by their homeland and their elders and villagers, they were able to achieve amazing combat power. Whether facing the doomsday beasts or other supernatural creatures, even the most powerful magician could not give up. , Seeing death as home, fighting until one soldier and one soldier.
And the heavy industry system close at hand can also provide a steady stream of tanks, airships, at least guns and ammunition, and flood the enemy's flesh and blood with a torrent of steel.
However, once the Red Dragon Army leaves the area under the control of the earth people and requires labor for an expedition, the mountains, rivers, jungles and swamps of other worlds, as well as the complex and changeable extreme weather, will exhaust the logistics troops of the Red Dragon Army. suffering.
And the object they want to conquer is obviously not the barbarians of the earth age.
Whether it is a magician who controls a powerful supernatural power.
Still out there, the elves who can manipulate the entire forest.
Or the barbarians and orcs who are not afraid of death and can instantly become mad.
Even a dwarf who can dig a hole in the underground world and destroy hundreds of miles of railway line of the Red Dragon Army in just a few days.
These outsiders, there is always a way to cut off the logistics supply line of the Red Dragon Army.
There is no difference between a modern army that has lost logistical supplies and a medieval army that has run out of ammunition and food.
What's more terrible is that the various large war machines of the Red Dragon Army all use spar as energy source.
Compared with gasoline and gunpowder in the earth age, spar is an extremely unstable and highly dangerous energy source.
On the battlefield, there are often situations that are clearly beneficial to the Earth Army, but the aliens, driven by fanatical beliefs, sacrifice the lives of several powerful men, and can precisely lock the Earth Army’s ammunition warehouse and store all spar ammunition. All the explosions.
Such tragedies have been staged repeatedly.
From the top of Longcheng to ordinary citizens, they have to admit that they want to rely solely on the so-called "steel torrent" to sweep the army and conquer the entire alien world. It is purely a dream.
Therefore, Gao Ye was right in saying that before Meng Chao was reborn, all kinds of war resources were indeed leaning toward the extraordinary, relying on the extraordinary to fight against the strong among the natives of the alien world.
And the Chilong Army gradually evolved into three parts.
The first is a very small number of "small and sophisticated" rapid reaction forces, the largest scale will not exceed the brigade level.
Like the "ghost brigade" that Meng Chao had joined in his previous life, although it was not a real combat unit, it was the most common core combat unit at the time.
The second is the battlefield engineering unit, which specializes in following the of the strong, providing fire support, repairing bridges and paving roads, and building various trenches and fortresses.
The third is the security forces. After the strong on the earth beheaded the strong from outsiders, the engineering troops stationed in the fortresses after building the fortress to suppress the nearby natives.
Among them, the number of security forces is the largest.
Any army, no matter how glorious the war history, how sophisticated equipment, and how high morale is, once it becomes a security army and regards the haunting guerrilla as its main opponent, its combat effectiveness will uncontrollably decline, degenerate, and eventually collapse. .
Of course, the Red Dragon Army did not want to be reduced to a supporting role in the colonial war, a security army struggling between the curse of the elves and the warhammer of the dwarves.
The military does everything possible to study the "Heroic Technology" and the "War Soul Technology" that condenses hundreds of soldiers' brain waves to produce powerful combat effectiveness. They are all attempts to seize the leading position of war.
But none of these technologies can completely reverse the gap between ordinary human soldiers and high-level transcendents.
For the Red Dragon Army in Dragon City, it is destined to be impossible to achieve the status of any national defense force in the earth age.
"From your expression, I can tell that you agree with me."
Takano said very happily, "I didn't expect our communication to be so smooth. Usually college students of your age are all impulsive, fanatical, and blind. They think that victory is within reach and rarely think about the future so calmly.
"In short, in the coming decades of war, the power, wealth and power of the extraordinary will be further enhanced, and the gap between them and ordinary people will be widened.
"As their realm continues to improve, Dragon City has used biochemical modulation technology and rune-mechanical technology, coupled with the most advanced ultra-brain technology, to develop a large number of'artificial intelligence' and'automation technology'. The result is, Various war machines that do not need to be produced and operated by ordinary people—maybe drones and thinking tanks, or biochemical beasts, will further replace ordinary soldiers.
"For a peerless strong man, instead of bringing an ordinary human troop to attack the strongholds of the aliens, it is better to carry a large number of drones, thinking tanks, and biochemical pets, or simply not bring anything. God does not know. The ghost sneaks into the enemy stronghold and assassinates the enemy's core characters.
"At least, the drone will not be afraid, thinking that the chariot will not collapse, even if the biochemical pet is dead, it does not need to pay half a copper pension, even if the war is unfavorable, the peerless strong can rely on his superior ability. Withdraw from the battlefield at any time and travel thousands of miles away, but you don't need to rescue the compatriots who have been trapped in the vast ocean of alien natives.
"Over time, you will find that ordinary people don't even have the value of being a cannon fodder.
"And for a super company equipped with drones, thinking tanks and biochemical pets, and even its own super company, who is constantly producing these things with energy, if he is to conquer several other worlds far away from Dragon City If you conquer a large number of aliens in the town, how much loyalty he can retain to Dragon City is also worthy of a question mark."
Meng Chao frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. Just imagine that you are a peerless and powerful person above the realm of gods. Your own combat power is comparable to an army, and you have an extremely developed brain. The computing power and deduction ability are comparable to a supercomputer, and you can manipulate thousands at the same time. There are tens of thousands of automated war machines, and at the same time, you are the master of a super enterprise."
Gao Ye said, "Such you, after conquering a number of alien towns, and even conquering a alien kingdom, will still be 100% loyal to Dragon City, loyal to thousands of ordinary citizens far inferior to you. , Put their interests above themselves?
"Dragon City is not a normal country, and the Survival Committee is far from being an authority with lofty prestige and able to control all supernatural beings. Even the seemingly powerful supernatural towers need to constantly compromise among high-ranking superhumans to find the greatest convention. number.
"The prolonged colonization war will only make the high-level transcendents and the super enterprises they control continue to expand, turning them into monsters that are too big to fall. In the end, the transcendents control the Dragon City, not the Dragon City control the transcendents.
"And these extraordinary people who have various resources and benefits in the depths of the vast alien world, and even have their own independent kingdom, are only connected with ordinary Dragon City people, and only ‘everyone is on earth’.
"Now, Dragon City has only gone through half a century, and there are still many old people from the earth age who have lived all the way to this day. They can make new generations of us born in other worlds not forget our origin, and can also make extraordinary and ordinary people. Intimacy, working together.
"But I very much doubt that in another half a century, when all the old people born on the earth pass away, and the new generation is completely integrated into the alien world, how many people will remember that "everyone is earthly"."
