Chapter 1003: Battle for the Tower (37)
"I hope you didn't expect us to have a warm, harmonious and touching conversation like a real teacher and student or father and son before you started this topic."
Schiller put down the tableware again, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said: "If you want to find this feeling, I suggest you go to Harvey or Gordon. They are both good fathers."
"Do you know why every conversation between the two of us ends in an extremely unpleasant atmosphere?" Schiller asked a question, and then answered himself: "Because you doubt everyone in the world equally, including me, and I hate everyone in the world equally, including you."
"Then..." Batman said slowly: "If I no longer doubt everyone in the world, will you no longer hate everyone in the world?"
"What did you say?" Schiller narrowed his eyes, and suddenly, Batman saw that he showed a crazy smile again, but soon, Schiller stretched out his hands to pull down the corners of his mouth, and he shook his head hard.
"Damn it!" Schiller cursed, and then he said to himself: "Do you really believe it? Do you think Batman will not doubt others? Don't be so serious anymore... No... Your smile is really ugly..."
Schiller was like fighting with the air. With a "clang", the table knife fell to the ground. Schiller gritted his teeth and said to the demon next to him: "Claude! Get him out! Throw him out of the castle!"
The strong demon avoided Batman. Batman didn't want to conflict with him, so he stood up and walked out of the castle.
When he was about to walk out of the castle, he saw Schiller bend down, pick up the table knife, and start to wolf down the food on the plate like a person who had been hungry for a long time.
Batman knew this was not normal, but he knew that he couldn't provoke Schiller anymore, so he left with a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then found Alfred, intending to ask him about his views on the system and structure of the mine.
"Did Professor Schiller discuss communism with you? I think he should tell you that you are a capitalist, so no matter how you lead the mine, you are exploiting these slaves."
Batman was a little surprised when Alfred opened his mouth, but what he said next surprised Batman even more.
"You think I will tell you that you should give up the leadership now and let all the demons vote and exercise their democratic rights, and do the same for the leadership of other departments."
"But, Batman, the theoretical books you have read should have told you that everything must be based on the actual situation, and you can't just sit there and fantasize, and you can't copy and paste."
"You can't just take the Soviet system over, and you can't take a certain system and force it into the current situation... What is the situation now?"
Alfred asked himself and answered: "We are still in Belial's territory. Within three days, the news of the mine incident will reach his ears, and Belial has an elite army that is more elite than General Rotten Heart's demon army."
"Even if it takes him some time to transfer the army here, it is still a matter of life and death for us and all the slaves here. You must first ensure that we can survive before we can talk about other things."
"There is no time for you to educate the people, select talents, organize elections, and arrange departments. We are even It can't be called a staged victory, it can only be said to be half a step out of the quagmire. "
"You should have read in history books that in the initial stage, there is no need to pursue too much procedural justice. Survival is the most important thing. If someone tells you at this time that your procedure is unjust, so everything is meaningless, then you should punch him."
"Nothing is more meaningful than surviving."
Seeing Batman's expression, Alfred smiled and said, "Are you surprised? I have said it before, we are not the kind of extreme fanatics you imagine. In fact, if we don't know how to make decisive choices and be flexible, our career will not be able to reach this point."
"So, you can give full play to your abilities, or in other words, if you give up your leadership now and don't use your abilities, then all our previous efforts will be in vain."
After listening to Alfred's words, Batman stood and nodded. He had to admit that he still had some stereotypes about the KGB. After all, he was a native American. No matter how wise and sober he was, it was difficult to avoid some influence.
Batman gently stroked the edge of his cape with one hand, and then he said: "In my discussion with Schiller, I mentioned the best way to stimulate war potential in a short period of time. I think he might be referring to the planned economy. Do you think it can be implemented here?"
Alfred shook his head and said: "It's not as simple as you think. The Soviet model can succeed because the Communist International is the blood vessel, and the industrial production of various countries provides blood for the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is the heart, constantly digesting and converting this blood, turning it into nutrition, and then transporting it back to lead everyone forward together."
"However, this model also laid hidden dangers for the future... Of course, let's not talk about these for now. If you want to apply this model, the premise is that the scale must be large enough, and now we are..."
"So, it's back to that question. We have to win the war first before we can expand the scale, but to win the war, we have to expand the scale..." Batman was silent for a long time, as if thinking.
"It's like this in the starting stage. Every country in the world like the Soviet Union has a difficult history." Alfred looked at Batman and said: "The next few days are destined to be difficult, but remember that sentence? You are not fighting alone."
Batman raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. He thought, perhaps, he will never have such a precious opportunity in his life, allowing him to let go in such a large-scale war and use his strategic mind to the extreme.
Even a small step forward is an extra gain for him. In this case, why not give it a try?
Back in the mine, Batman first found Merkel and began to arrange production issues. There was no smelter in the mine, but there were some smelting furnaces for smelting production tools.
Smelting furnaces all use magma as energy and are very efficient, so Batman does not need to start from scratch, but the difficulty is that there are only tools such as pickaxes or molds for mine car parts in the smelting furnace, and what Batman needs now is equipment and weapons.
In other words, they must study the mineral ratio for equipment smelting and the enchantment of weapons from scratch.
Fortunately, the army led by General Rot Heart was not completely wiped out. Many demon soldiers were captured, and they also expressed their willingness to fight for Batman, and the armor and weapons on them could provide a certain reference.
Batman took the lead in forming a scientific research team, the main members of which were Merkel, magicians from the original General Rot Heart's troops, and soldiers from the logistics management department. Their main task was to analyze the original equipment and use the existing minerals in the mine to cast armor belonging to the mine army.
Batman's scientific research ability does not need to be discussed, but the research is going very smoothly. There are other reasons. For example, the Seven Mountains Mine is the second largest mine in Belial's territory, but in fact, the completeness of the types of minerals ranks first.
And, General Fuxin is the cousin of the Queen after all. Although he has not participated in any large-scale wars in recent years, the quality of his soldiers is relatively high, and the magicians are also quite smart. Some of them are quick to understand, which greatly saves Batman's energy.
Soon, a simple equipment casting production line was opened, mining, transportation, and smelting were done in one go.
Batman also improved the original ecology of the mine, without distinguishing between civilians, workers, and soldiers. Everyone is a part of the assembly line. Everyone has to participate in production, everyone has to participate in training, and everyone is working hard to survive.
In terms of military training, Merkel has always been in charge. Batman no longer uses the old demon army system, that is, the large demons in the army are heavy soldiers, wearing heavy armor, and the small demons are small soldiers, wearing light armor. Although this classification method is convenient, it actually has a big problem.
Batman adopted the structure of modern military and made some improvements. Demons are distinguished by their functions. Different races will appear in different camps in different numbers due to their functional differences.
For example, in the light infantry camp, there will be more small demons, but also mass-sized demons. In the camp, large demons are responsible for defense, transportation and building fortifications, while small demons will fight in the event of a raid.
Of course, due to the different marching speeds of various demons, when they are organized into a team, it is often the case that the vanguard has arrived, and the follow-up troops have not even completed one-third of the march. In order to make up for this gap, Batman can only start thinking about making troop transport vehicles.
He does have a ready-made reference. The mine cart traveling through the mine is a good research object.
In the human world, it is normal to fight in the front and build in the back. However, due to the physical fitness of human beings and the limitations of the times, it is difficult to connect all the occupied areas with railways after occupying a certain place. There are not so many materials and workers, and there is no great need.
But in hell, this kind of railway network has a foundation for implementation. On the one hand, Batman occupies a mine, and the mine is not short of minerals for smelting rails or making mine carts.
On the other hand, the demons need fewer resources to maintain their physiological needs and have greater strength. In simple terms, they work fast. As long as they are deployed in a proper way, the speed of infrastructure construction is amazing.
Of course, most demon lords use portals to mobilize troops. Batman's wizards can use portals, but portals require a lot of materials, which they cannot gather for the time being. Even if they can gather them, the consumption is relatively large, and Batman does not have that much money.
Moreover, a well-planned and well-built railway network is not necessarily worse than a portal. After all, a portal is a one-time project and requires a lot of materials. It must be prepared many days in advance. If it is disturbed, the loss of materials is secondary. The people in the teleportation are likely to get lost in the turbulence of space and never come back.
Even if the family is as big as Beelzebub, 80% of the material exchanges in his territory are carried by demons of a special race. For example, the huge sandworms in the mines are a kind of camel demon.
Batman naturally did not forget these sandworms. Before, when he was preparing to deal with General Rotheart, he had carefully thought about the strategy to deal with this group of insects.
However, General Rotheart went to help Schiller before he could exert his strength, so Batman picked up a complete team of sandworms for nothing.
And this indeed provided him with great help in the early battles.
