Chapter 731 Chapter 1708 Carrying the Burden and Facing Difficulties, Happiness Is Gone

Chapter 731 Chapter 17.08: Carrying heavy burdens and facing difficulties, but happiness is in danger

On October 24th, in the affluent area of ​​​​York City, in the Garden Building where Mikael had an appointment with Enma, Sugmat read the current domestic and foreign newspapers.

The latest newspaper headlines in the Sky Empire: The Empire will reorganize its cabinet. A new Duma will be formed. In this new cabinet, the regent will announce his resignation, which will greatly reduce the role of imperial power. Representatives of the southern reformists will enter the imperial capital to prepare for the establishment of the Duma.

As for the tabloid headline, Her Royal Highness Princess Sherry arrived in the southern city-state, apologized for the harm done to the people of the empire during the war, and called on all factions in the empire to quickly restore peace.

But Sugmat read all these newspapers. As an imperial soldier,

He has no interest in the political games in these imperial capitals. In his opinion, only the north has the final say and the power to overthrow all.

…In this era, those who hold the final say rarely speak up. …

Sugmat opened the Anglo newspaper. The Anglo diplomats were now more interested in the changes in power within the Sky Empire than before.

The Anglo ministers expressed great "expectations" to the New Deal in the Sky, and put forward what they considered to be "enlightened" standards for trade, borders, and post-war closure. Of course, the so-called "proportion of seats between the north and the south" was raised.

And Sugamat saw a new piece of Anglo content, which was to prepare to send additional "supplies" to the northern intervention army.

Sugmat squinted his eyes and confirmed: "The so-called sending more supplies means increasing the army. It seems that Anglo can't hold on in the north."

As an outsider who withdrew from the war, Sugmat had been watching the development of the rebels.

Apart from the position factor, Sugemat admires Enma very much. He believed that this was the most talented commander in the Sky Empire for hundreds of years.

Sugmat has been taking notes to record every strategic counterattack by Enma, and scratching them on the map on the wall.

A few years ago, Mikael placed various exquisite crafts, statues, and flowers here, but now they are all piled with rulers, compasses, strategic maps, and newspapers.

Michael, who walked in with afternoon tea, silently stepped aside as his father studied the man's battle report like a maniac.

"War" is a man's medicine, defeat is poison, and victory is a great tonic.

After Mikael put down the tea tray and prepared to retreat quietly, Sugmat said: "The Anglian prince is late."

Mikael immediately stopped and followed his father's wishes and asked: "He is going to win again!"

Sugamat looked at his daughter with burning eyes and elaborated: "If Victory is a big fish, he is a shrewd fisherman. He inserts the harpoons one after another, but is not in a hurry to reel in the line, and drags it as long as he can. After the enemy is exhausted, the next step is to use the injured fish to attract more fish. Once it is determined that new fish have arrived, he will quickly release his advantage from the old game. "

Mikael thought for a while: "That's what Minral was like a year ago. So now, he wants it?"

Sugmat looked at the northern border with complex eyes and opened an encrypted document. This contained economic intelligence collected by the military intelligence department. In major cities, all industrial products are now moving northward, including winter coats. There are also combat supplies such as fuel.

As a veteran on the battlefield, he determined that the scale of this combat material was too much for an encirclement and annihilation campaign. On the contrary, it was similar to the empire's preparations before the all-out assault on the northern front in 29 years.

... Enma is strategically leaping. It will always add more trouble to the opponent...

At the same time, in the north, Enma, in the Molten Steel Tower City, issued an order to all participating regiments to completely annihilate their opponents within fifteen days.

After the big meeting, Enma found An Jiexin, a current level two hero unit, and gave her a strategic assault mission.

An Jiexin, who was originally full of confidence, hesitated immediately when she saw this strategic prominence on the ground, extending out of the sky empire, crossing the most dangerous Lausanne Gorge in the north, and entering Osi.

Enma: "There is a huge risk in attacking with a partial division, but strategically, we have to do it."

Enma opened up about the recent trends of the Anglo intervention forces. They are preparing to launch a larger-scale intervention war against the Iron Star. In order to prepare for this war, they have accumulated a large amount of supplies at the Fishmouth Port on the sea of ​​Osimabo.

Enma: "Since it's an arm wrestling match, then don't worry about the boundary line, let's focus on our strategy."

Enma single-handedly targeted the Osima Fish Mouth Port, and then, like Go, kicked away the Anglo chess pieces to the north of the Iron Star in the sky. This is the strategy of redemption.

An Jiexin paused slightly.

Today, the Anglian White Winged Knights are under heavy siege. The Anglian fleet carries two legions and continues to rush north. This battle is endless. Enma said more than once: There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Enma said to An Jiexin: "Iron Star's current problem is that any of our construction may be compromised by external forces. In this world, when only one party can threaten the other, subsequent exchanges between the two parties are by no means fair."

Enma equipped Anjiexin's interspersed troops with eight combat units. In addition to her own steam combat units, the others were also high-speed "Hunter Chariots" weighing 350 tons. This is no longer a crawler unit, but four sets of three-meter-high rubber tires.

An Jiexin looked at the expectations of Enma in front of the map and said hesitantly: "Is this battle dangerous?"

Enma: "Yes, if danger arises, you can return alone."

An Jiexin opened her mouth, and Enma continued: "Of course, if you never come back, I will remember you. Those who deserve revenge will definitely take revenge."

An Jiexin paused for a moment. As a leader, Enma undoubtedly has a style comparable to that of a god. As a military commander, he has keen insight, careful thinking, and courageous decisions, which can make people believe in victory. However, The only flaw is that he is so inhumane. Although he is standing next to him, he always feels as far away as looking at the sun.

An Jiexin nodded and accepted the order, and Enma called out to her. Anjiexin turned around and waited for further orders.

Enma looked at this resolute female warrior, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's have a meal together tomorrow. By the way, I heard that you like to eat fish?"

An Jiexin was slightly startled, but for some reason, she nodded.

Enma smiled: "It's not an order. It's very hard to fight outside. I hope I can leave you a thought. You must come back victorious."

..."If there was no war, he should be a good chef." Many of Enma's subordinates thought so. …

Enma beat the egg liquid and spread it on the cut squirrel fish, sprayed it with vinegar, and then put it in the oil pan and fried it.

On the other side of the stove is chicken soup that has been simmering for twenty hours. The clear soup has been filtered several times and is very clear. It is successfully cooked with the fermented mountain bamboo shoots.

Regarding the troublesome process of the food, it is not in line with Enma's "simple" cooking spirit. This dish is prepared according to the state banquet model. Because this time is unusual.

The important events of the country are sacrificed by the army. Regarding the temple of the five internal organs of a general, Enma worshiped with full seriousness.

During the war, the mission was kept secret. This dinner was an expedition banquet for the "Lance Group" that was about to be annihilated. The invitations also included Bess, Willy and other emerging generals from Iron Star.

Nominally, this dinner was prepared for Anjiexin. Enma was cooking in the kitchen, and Anjiexin, who was wearing a red floral cloth on her head and looked like a cook, was helping to make bread.

An Jiexin looked at the extremely serious Enma and couldn't help but wonder. If there was no war and the years were quiet, maybe she would be such a busy girl in the kitchen now. Maybe a few kids broke in and made a fuss at this time.

Enma held the chopsticks between his hands: "Open your mouth and try the taste!" An Jiexin paused, her face turned red, she opened her mouth and bit the protruding chopstick head. Then he nodded after savoring the delicious taste.

When the last dish was served, Enma stared at the fire and said: "We are out on an expedition, take care of yourself."

An Jiexin nodded. Enma looked at An Jiexin's brisk back as she served the food to the table, and sighed slightly in her heart: "It's a pity that I came into this world with a sharp weapon."

...Wei Keng is in the multidimensional plane, and there is no more romance. …

Under the light of the iron star of the north. In the hospital, a bed is pushed into the infusion room. A few days later, a young teenager walked out of the hospital with relief. It is recorded in the file that this young man escaped from the city and entered the Iron Star District. He collapsed due to hunger and was then carried to the hospital by everyone.

However, in reality in the ward, this is a process of making something out of nothing. The individual flesh and blood from Enma was slowly formed under the infusion of the concept of the etheric world, then the blood vessels, and finally the skin was formed. About ten months later, a boy with a biological age of fourteen was formed.

In the new body, the newcomer Wei Keng's consciousness was awakened, reading newspapers and writing. After walking out of the ward seven days later, he joined the city to find a job.

In this initial process, the newly arrived Wei Keng did not bring with him the "perfect memory experience". This was to prevent his personality from solidifying and to remain a "middle man" instead of becoming a god.

For the entire group of Wei Keng, if the beauty encountered is one, then the dangers faced by the world are endless. In such a world where life and death are decided by a superior, it is impossible for a group whose consciousness has reached this huge state to be targeted by equally huge wolves to pursue small fortunes.

In the end, Wei Keng, who entered the factory, entered the battlefield, and entered the farmland, had already determined his ending, which was to die without regrets.

...No matter what kind of world he is in, Wei Keng can live as a middle-aged man. …

On November 1, 3232 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, when Iron Star's annihilation battle against the Lance Group in the north was finalized, the Anglians began to jump up and down and scratch their heads in various newspapers in the Sky Empire.

Ordinary Wei Keng is accumulating further strength on various ordinary fronts.

At this time, in the western part of the sky country controlled by Iron Star, a new industrial city was planned. The production scale of this steel plant reached the world's advanced level. Supporting railway facilities and port facilities can quickly transport output products to surrounding consumer markets.

Steel production has such a characteristic. When the scale of steel production is less than one million tons, the principle of proximity to coal and raw material production areas is preferred. However, when steel production reaches 10 million tons, the biggest limitation is: can logistics cover the production area? The raw materials needed, as well as the light industrial consumer goods needed by the workers, are transported to the center, and the materials are transported there.

Limin Steel Plant is such a super steel plant. The significance of its existence is to radiate the entire western part of the Sky Empire and even the Kingdom of Osima further west.

In short, within a 500-kilometer radius, the factory uses super-scale industrial forms to crush all surrounding industrial cities in terms of cost and efficiency. Enma has done homework on all levels of industry. After Tiexing took over the public logistics project, the larger the scale, the lower the various logistics costs.

This move suppresses the western part of the empire, and at the same time, it is necessary to allow the power of the Red Flag to penetrate forward in terms of geography.

…The entire Pantheon will see the orthodox sequel of "industry". …

Whether it is industrial furnaces, or the recruitment of 500,000 workers, and family placement, they are all handled by the Agricultural Youth Association, so the Agricultural Youth Association holds 100% of the shares.

Throughout the city, a row of tube buildings have been planned, and roads connect every community. Railroads have also been laid in the city, and raw materials have begun to roar through. Unlike the three-dimensional steampunk cities composed of various steel and concrete, the planning of this city is very open. Such differences in the design of industrial cities are due to institutional differences.

The city design is too open, which is a great challenge to the city's public security. The unemployment rate must be kept at a low level.

If it is a feudal society, by planning dense residential areas, the public security personnel can control the overall situation as long as they block the key traffic intersections. As for the rest, the gangs in each street are secretly self-governing. For example, this was the case in the ancient industrial era of Maogang.

In short, such a city design is unprecedented. An urban area is dozens of square kilometers, which is absolutely not suitable for the nobles. But it is suitable for the economic integration of the surrounding rural areas.

This will be a megacity, and all megacity on the continent have expanded from historical background. The location of this area has not formed a big city in the past because every hundred years, the Sky Empire will have a military tug-of-war with external forces on the western front. This city without a strategic buffer zone has been smashed by airships and heavy tanks for several rounds in recent decades.

Deploying a megacity here is extremely bold in strategy. Enma believes that after the establishment of "Limin Steel City", it is to ensure that the strategy is pushed forward.

…Before the war is over, Wei Keng has already competed in the future layout of the economy…

In the central industrial furnace, after the molten steel in the converter enters the open hearth, the worker operates the mechanical arm to add material proportions to the molten steel, and then undergoes the corresponding heat treatment process on the production line to increase the strength.

As one of the workers, Wei Keng walked across the hot flame bridge and recorded the status of the steel furnace under his feet.

The first batch of special steel was successfully refined with the support of system data. Then the next stage of industrial accumulation was carried out intensively, such as assembling supercritical steam turbines and core equipment such as power facility rotors.

In fact, in the smelting process of the steel industry, we cannot be completely superstitious about the material formula.

In the ancient times of the main world, the Soviet Union had a lot of steel. In fact, it was crazy about adding rare earths to improve the properties. They had a vast land and abundant resources, and the state-owned enterprise bureaucracy was strong, and they didn't care about profits.

On the other hand, when we look at the small days in the east, we start to cut corners, and we understand that advanced technology needs to reduce costs without reducing quality to a large extent.

Although there are quantum tides in the world of arcane, various rare minerals are tunneling and vibrating in the veins, which are renewable. It seems unnecessary. But Wei Keng only has "comparative advantage" in his eyes.

["Comparative advantage" means that if you open a supermarket for 12 hours, I will open for 18 hours from 6 am to 12 pm. If you have 18 kinds of weapons, I will have 24 kinds of weapons. One word: "roll". ]

Tiexing built such a super-large steel city, just to roll over the opponent in economic benefits. And the high organization of the Agricultural Youth Association is actually the most suitable to provide support for such super-large cities.

Western industrialization is industrial proliferation, so in order to increase growth, unfair competition will inevitably occur and wars will be started.

Eastern industrialization is "stabilizing society" and expanding scale. Use scale benefits to roll over all marginal weak ones (of course, the disadvantage is that it may also roll over innovation. Oh, so it is necessary to complete the corresponding strong organization in the marginal areas to ensure that innovation jumps out of the "involution" vortex.)

Wei Keng, the original industrial god who has been offline for several epochs, is to teach the gods of this world a lesson. What exactly is "industry"? When technology has reached a stable stage, how can we develop a management system based on the spirit of "cooperation" to maximize the marginal benefits of technology?
