1571 Don’t Drink if It’s Okay

Among people's comments about the government, there is a term called "bureaucracy."

But if you ask these people, when it comes to bureaucracy, they may not be able to give you an answer for a while. They will only tell you hesitantly, anyway, bureaucracy is bureaucracy.

In the federation, this so-called bureaucratic evaluation does not happen often.

Because the federal government system is sound and politicians and staff do their jobs?

Of course not. In a capitalist society, even politicians are pursuing efficiency and value, and they have no time to stop and bureaucracy.

Maybe it does exist, but it's rare.

In countries where bureaucracy really exists, the social structure of the country is often developed as a whole with "power" as the cornerstone of society, such as Gaevra!

Gaevra's society is based on the nobility as the core of rule. The nobility has privileges, and these privileges represent the highest power in this country!

So for politicians in this country, what they do and what they don’t do is not decided by the capitalists who revolve around money all day long, nor is it decided by the people at the bottom.

It's up to them to decide!

We all know that absolute power will bring absolute corruption. Absolute power may not exist in Gaevra's power-centered society, but corruption definitely exists.

This is also one of the core elements that constitute "bureaucracy". When corruption is rampant, people will find ways to deceive people in order to cover up the "carrion".

They will use rhetoric and hypocritical behavior to flaunt their own value. This kind of use of external appearances to fool the public often happens.

Even in this war!

The number of tanks sent by the Federation is still very small, but its outstanding performance in Marillo has been discovered by the whole world. Now, in addition to placing orders for the Federation, various countries are manufacturing them themselves.

Gaevra is also doing his own research, but in the short term they still need to rely on the Federation's technology and strong productivity.

After the tanks are sent to the front line, almost everyone in charge wants some. You don’t have to ask for more, but you must give me some!

This is the attitude of those officers and generals.

In fact, in a strict sense and based on the facts that have happened, people should understand that when the number of tanks was small, they were just ordinary infantry fighting vehicles with only a little demolition capability.

But when its quantity increases, it has strong strategic value!

But everyone wants it, so what?

Two hundred tanks were allocated to fourteen nodes, with only a dozen tanks at each node.

As an attacker, these tanks are too sparse to be used temporarily, and as a defender... they have no practical value.

They were separated without any embarrassment for some reason, and then Gaevra's media came over to take some photos to tell the people of this island that they are still extremely powerful!

As the hired workers entered the defensive phase, the busy work site gave the Pendeo people hidden in the crowd a slight sigh of relief.

There was no strict inspection, they just showed the IDs they had.

In the Amelia region, considering the backlash caused by high-pressure policies, the Governor-General's government has not implemented that kind of high-pressure rule, but is very tolerant.

Everyone got a pass for free, with their own personal identity record on it, and then stamped with a steel seal.

These identifications may be a challenge for private counterfeiters, but for individuals on a national basis, this is not a preventive measure at all.

They easily slipped into the front lines.

"You guys..."

A male officer from Gafra looked at the dozen or so strong young men who had stayed behind and couldn't help but reach out and touch the chest muscles of one of them.

It's very hard and solid, but a little elastic, like rubber!

The expression of the young man who was touched by him suddenly changed and became dangerous, and he took a step back.

The officer was stunned for a moment, then explained his behavior, "You are really strong!"

He looked at the others again, "Our construction vehicles are limited and we can only deal with some larger gravels first, so there are still some manpower that can be moved, so we need you."

He put his hands behind his back and looked at these people, "Three dollars and fifty cents a day, three meals, and you can also spend money to buy extra food until it is taken care of. Is there any problem?"

These strong men shook their heads, indicating that they had no additional requirements.

"Then get to work, boys!"

This is the first time that the Pentjeos have gone deep into the defense line. This is also one of their tasks this time. They are trying to get some information about the defense line to prepare for subsequent breakthroughs in the defense line.

They rode the truck and quickly arrived at the work site, and everything in front of them shocked them!

A large number of individual "concave" walls are erected alternately in layers like scales. These reinforced concrete structures, which are often one or two meters long, bring strong impact resistance to it.

It can be seen from the shattered places that the cannonball will explode at most a small area when it falls on it. Even if the next cannonball still lands on the same point, the effect will not be better!

Gu Chu

Those dense steel meshes can disperse the impact of the explosion, further reducing the force the wall can withstand.

These people began to work silently. There were a lot of broken concrete on the ground. The big ones were as big as two or three people, and the smallest ones might just be a small pebble.

They need to throw this stuff on the truck, and there are already a lot of people around doing that.

These guys appear to be stronger, so they have to deal with the bigger ones.

On the first day, it was not a good time to move around. The young people started working seriously.

I have to say that the lunch meal is good, with a little muscle. If you want more, you have to spend money. This is not as good as those soldiers and officers.

They can eat as much as they want, but the civilian husband only has a little.

After having a short break after lunch, I soon started working again in the afternoon.

As they worked, they learned that these defensive lines were built by Federals.

"I remember that these things didn't exist last year..." A Pengeo soldier threw stones onto the truck while chatting with the workers around him.

The worker gasped and nodded, "Who says it's not the case?"

“These construction only started in March, and it’s almost half a year until now...”

Pengeo's soldier was stunned for a moment. He seemed to be stretching his body because there was no stone on his body, but in fact, he was looking at the huge defense line that could not be seen to the end, and he was slightly distracted.

In less than half a year...a defense fortifications of at least two hundred kilometers long was built on the waistline of the Amelia region. Is this...possible?

He thought it was unlikely. Maybe the worker didn't know much and was exaggerating. The matter was definitely not that simple.

Pengeo's foreign wars occurred from time to time, so most soldiers had enough knowledge about war, including various fortification matters.

If a fortification like this was built by the Pengeo Empire, it would take at least one to one and a half years. He did not believe that the federals could complete it in such a short time. This was absolutely impossible!

He glanced sideways at the person who answered his question, feeling wary that this person might be confusing him.

In fact, he guessed wrong.

There are two reasons why the Federals were able to do this.

The first is a technical issue of the Federation. More optimized steel structures and steel frames are prefabricated in the Federation.

When they were brought here, they were assembled directly according to the drawings and already had the outline of the proposed fortifications.

Then all people have to do is pour concrete in!

Maybe this is difficult for the locals or the Gefra people. Their population is relatively sparse, and it is not easy to complete such a large workload.

But for the Nagaril people, who have a large population, this is the simplest basic job!

According to unofficial calculations, there were more than 30 million Nagaril people traveling to and from Amelia in the past six months.

These people contributed a force that cannot be ignored to the offensive and defensive battle of Amelia!

In the evening, after seven o'clock, the work continued. A large number of strong lights were hung on the defense line. The concrete mixer trucks were humming. Some of the cleaned areas had been sprinkled with clean water. Waiting for the water to be absorbed by the walls, It's time to re-concrete.

The work lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.

At today's rate, all the work will be completed in no more than five days. In other words, these people can only stay here for another five days.

Several people discussed it for a while at night and planned to take action on the third day.

When they finished work in the evening, they walked around the camp. The Gefra people were not strict about the management behind the defense line, and those tanks... they were parked in the garage covered with canvas, and there were no people on duty. They still had a good chance. Got the tank.

After the discussion, several people went back to their assigned residences. They still needed to observe for a day before taking action.

At this time, in a town not far away, the young man who had led them through the dense forest was drinking in a bar.

He drank a little too much.

There are many wonderful changes when people drink too much.

Some people have emotional breakdowns, either laughing or crying.

There are also people who get drunk, take off their clothes, and roll on the ground.

But the most popular ones are those who hold your hand and keep talking!

After these people are drunk, they cannot suppress their desire to talk, so you can always see drunkards in pubs who want to talk to the air even if they are sitting alone.

The young man who led the way sneaked out, drank some wine, and couldn't control himself!

"Tell you, I know a secret..."
