MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 881 kill the fire thief
There are many factors that determine the success or failure of a war.
equipment.
logistics.
Officer degree.
And...morale.
Or rather, the will.
These many elements are almost equally important, and the lack of one will lead to more serious consequences... But if we really want to compare, it turns out that will is relatively more important.
Because those who carry out battles and use weapons are still human beings.
Without the strong will to fight tenaciously and the high morale with high fighting spirit, even the comprador of art equipment, armed to the teeth, will be defeated and transformed into a courier company.
—However, sometimes, the astonishing contrast can subtly confirm some racial theories from the side... For example, a certain garbage regime of a certain nation in a certain era, even if its army has been reduced to a rotten and shameful comprador in the later period, actually It can also last for three years under the all-out attack of another legendary army from the same ethnic group but whose will to fight has reached the pinnacle of human beings. This favorable and ironclad proof dramatically proves that a certain ethnic group has a huge racial superiority, even the comprador army. Can be so fierce.
But at this moment, it is not like that moment.
For several months, Griffin used dwarf craftsmen, recruiters, magic machinery and earth school mages to excavate and build trenches and fortifications ahead of the times, combining human wisdom with the technical power of magical civilization. Almost perfectly combined, this steel defense is constructed.
It can be said that such a line of defense can be defeated by any country in the mortal world.
Ordinary soldiers have begun to install early thermal weapons and long-range projection weapons on a large scale, and elite troops have begun to enjoy the increase in star palace technology. In terms of strategy, there is a big killer such as deceleration force field.
Such an army is perfect in the mortal world.
To attack this line of defense, the cavalry will be trapped in the complex layered and rugged trenches, the infantry array will be hindered by the complex terrain and barbed wire and other denial devices, and the long-range troops will be attacked by the council mages brigades who are waiting to work, even if they are **** for tat. The army of the meeting can naturally hide in solid bunkers to avoid the edge of long-range strikes - even if they want to bypass this line of defense, they will be constantly harassed and torn.
This is a tactic and weapon that is ahead of its time.
But Griffin's opponent is Kant.
The cascading, sturdy, and murderous trenches are, of course, a method of warfare that surpasses the times in the mortal world, enough to make the army of any great power hate it... But in Kant's view, it has a huge flaw.
That is-
It was just Griffin's and his staff's transcendent flash of inspiration.
But it has not been tested and improved by actual combat.
Because this is the first time that the Far Harbor Army has launched a large-scale offensive against this line of defense.
The experience of trench construction, the setting of light and dark firepower, the tactics of cross firepower, the consolidation of easy-to-break areas, and the strengthening of defense... All kinds of details are not just the whimsy of one or two wise men. Come to discover the problem and make up for it with the tragic sacrifice of soldiers and endless blood.
And this thing, the people of the earth were doing a hundred years ago, and achieved the ultimate, even complete end in the largest terrifying war to date, but the relevant tactics are still used even today. The large-scale application, the resulting experience, has been tempered and countless.
It seems to be a perfect steel line of defense, but in the face of an armored raid that surpasses the times, in a few months, through the database obtained by extorting Achuan, I deeply learned all the human beings recorded by the United States in the 100 years since World War I. In front of Horus of war history, there is no meaning at all.
This is the meaning of artificial intelligence - although memory reading and integration are two different concepts, the current Horus undoubtedly remembers the best armored assault masters and attack tacticians in human history. The most glorious shining of war art moments.
There are also scholars who have relied on this history for decades to interpret and study it over and over again.
Even the most ineffective rote memorization has the most correct answers to many questions.
So, Horus began to micromanage.
Don't get me wrong, the word micro-manipulation is not derogatory, it's just like many innocent words, it's stinky by a certain person. It is also micro-manipulation. Zhukov can use micro-manipulation to drive Guderian to run when his troops are inferior. That particular person often uses micro-manipulation to make his army become the one to be driven.
UAV reconnaissance, real-time image transmission, super artificial intelligence analysis.
So the battlefield is one-way transparent.
Relying on hyperspace transitions, combat units are rapidly deployed and support firepower responds instantly.
In this battle, the chain of command has been flattened to the utmost. As the supreme commander of the field, Horus issued orders directly to the platoon, and even responded to the squad's request for support.
All orders are placed directly on the visual helmet panel of the tactical unit, and when conditions permit, safe action paths and high-threat areas are even marked.
In addition to the enemy targets marked by drones, when soldiers encounter the enemy, the enemy troops that are visually locked and engaged by any combat unit will also be marked on the visualization panels of all units in real time for the surrounding area. The friendly units that have not engaged in combat calmly flank as the sixth, and fight DD in all directions.
In this battle, it is unreasonable not to win.
"Human head dog!"
The group of riflemen who were beaten by the densely shot enchanted crossbow bolts had just finished assembling the hot melt missile tube and put it on their shoulders when they saw that the recalcitrant shooting hole was being used by a mage chariot with a rapid-fire machine gun passing by. It collapsed, and blood and mud splashed everywhere.
The team leader only saw the accumulation of "assist +20", "team tactics +40", and "coverage awareness +50" on the tactical panel, and was so angry that he yelled: "Points! I'm points!"
He roared: "Continue to charge forward! Go up! Gou Ri's vehicle is amazing!"
"Captain, pay attention to the tactical essentials, calm down!"
Then he was pulled by the deputy captain, and the other party shouted in the constant roar of cannons, "You can't rush forward, rush too fast, if you are pinned by the enemy... you will lose points!"
Fraction! This stuff is really important.
The performance in the battle, including completing the team's instructions, destroying the enemy's active forces, achieving important tactical goals, and even showing rescue, cover, heroism, prudence, calmness and other behaviors on the battlefield will be recorded by the system in real time and accumulate points.
The total points obtained will be given a military merit factor after the battle according to the strategic significance of the battle, the difficulty of the battle and the outcome of the battle. The multiplication of the two is the military merit points obtained by the soldiers in this battle.
This military point is similar to salary, but it is extremely versatile.
In addition to purchasing materials, daily necessities, luxury goods, real estate and other consumer goods with the internal price of soldiers, it can also be used to apply for special weapon modifications, improve armor, add tactical weapon rations, etc.
Even the promotion of military rank, the advancement of arms, and the entry of legendary troops... Everything requires military points.
And the real-time score obtained in the battle can also be used!
This is the problem that Kant and Horus discovered in the military exercise in the White Mist World - when combat units find that they can call for support without limit, they will gradually develop a bad habit of finding a mouse shooting at them, It is necessary to call the long-range rocket artillery group to wash the ground.
This will lead to a great waste of military resources—excessive firepower and consumption of excess weapon resources are the second most important. The important thing is that intensive support requests can easily crowd out the firepower channel, so that local battlefields that really need support cannot be quickly supported, which in turn will lead to This further increases the concerns of front-line units, so that when they encounter problems, they will rush to call for support, so as not to be unable to respond immediately.
So it rolled up.
In order to avoid this situation, Kant thought hard for a few hours and decided to make a **** score.
- Calling for support costs warscores!
- Support project authorization!
- Some special support can only be called by special units or senior ranks!
From ammunition delivery, drone reconnaissance, self-destructing drones to alchemy war dogs.
Even fixed-point shelling, fire strafing, covering shelling, and air-to-ground support.
Even Chrono bombs, battle bunker jumps, dragon aviation platforms, super-phase cosmic vacuum suction.
And a series of super weapons that will be launched in the future, such as the corona cannon just unveiled today.
According to the power, strength and scarcity, they are divided into categories, delimited permissions, and clearly marked prices.
For example, even if the ordinary riflemen group on the front line gets a lot of points, they will never call for corona bombardment. If they want to increase their authority, they must accumulate military merits steadily, and even receive relevant training. into the commander sequence.
He even continued to rise to a high level and became the most outstanding and capable man in the Far Harbor military sequence.
Then, it is qualified to call the Corona Cannon on the battlefield.
Of course, this score system is not rigid enough to be flexible. For example, if a team is in a state of exhaustion, the score is exhausted, but there is a major tactical goal that is about to be achieved, or a major fighter plane is encountered, then use the [beep-] chant to draw the score to summon Support strikes are also possible.
But that means it has to be verified after the fact.
If the review department finds that this withdrawal has obtained significant value commensurate with it, such as killing an important target, capturing a battle node, rescuing an allied army, and protecting oneself... then there will be no faults, but there will be other rewards, but if it fails, You will be disciplined and punished, and your points will be doubled.
This score system is too rough, even on Earth, an army has never applied it, and it is actually not stable in this battle at this moment.
Since the points used for calling for support will also be accumulated into total points and converted into military merit points after the war, so there is no need to worry that soldiers are shy about calling for support because they are distressed by military merit points, but support will consume points, which will also allow them to be more careful. Put support where it's needed most.
Even some reckless behaviors, such as rashness, disobedience, personal heroism, not looking for cover, etc., will result in deduction of points.
This allows soldiers to develop such conditioning and behavioral norms over time.
For the same reason, tactical behaviors such as rescuing teammates, supporting friendly forces, responding to offensives, occupying favorable terrain, etc., due to their rich rewards, will also lead to soldiers gradually forming relevant tactical literacy. After all, the reward mechanism is more useful than military school learning... Humans are Such a creature.
- In order to improve this set of battlefield score system, Kant even instructed AWSL to hire headhunters all over the world, digging numerical planners from many well-known competitive game companies to work in the newly formed game department. The only task of...
It is to do preliminary numerical planning for a big battlefield competitive game with "no demo, no project, no code, only the boss's brain fantasy", in order to prevent "the depreciation of scores caused by inflation in the later period" and "opportunistic **** and assholes." ” and a series of questions.
Many gamers don't want to waste time on this illusory project. After all, they are hired to work, making money is one aspect, and making their resumes look better is another aspect, and the project of this strangely named leather bag company looks so weird, even a program There are no staff, just a group of people sitting together to calculate the data.
I have never seen such a game company.
But they still agreed.
Because the other party gave too much...
This is also one of Kant's plans, using movies and games as an excuse to hire the best people in the world to help Far Harbor design city plans and develop economic systems.
In addition, I also paid for the navy, and went to various forums and websites around the world where the portraits of users who enjoy political construction, military affairs and games are single, obese, socially difficult, and hilarious on the Internet. Posts, with rhythm, guide these idle brains to supplement Kant's military, government and civilian system.
Today, Far Harbor's world-shattering city appearance and management system are made by a famous game team, and they have even hired experts and professors from top universities as consultants.
Because the boss of Kant said, "I want to make a large-scale overhead game of mmo, and I want the appearance of a modern and civilized city that incorporates magic elements", and the cable laying, sewer system, urban planning, etc. must be completely self-consistent, in short, according to Design can build a real city.
This request is outrageous.
After all, for games, painters and modelers only need to come up with pictures that look super shocking and magnificent, and they don’t care how high productivity it takes to build such outrageous things, but since Boss Kang has given so much Money, then he can even design a real city.
This plan is progressing steadily. The only thing to worry about is that if it is too loud, it will always make people who are interested in thinking. Although Kant is not so afraid that the earth will know about the other world, it is like he does not care about the world at all. The living beings know that he is from another world.
But this kind of thing, it is best to hide it for as long as you can.
He even asked the parrot seriously: "How about we really do some games?"
Of course the parrot roars.
She said that she wanted to be a Xianxia mobile game recommender.
In the face of a large-scale armored raid, Griffin realized that he was at war with the power of an entire civilization, and it can only be said that his hunch was accurate.
The Grand Speaker of the Austrian Council not only has to face the culmination of a century of military technology and war wisdom of an entire civilization, but also to break his head, he can't think of a suffocating Far Harbor war system at war with himself. , behind it, how strange and even the people who are completely out of touch with the war are making plans.
But the battle did collapse quickly and visibly to the naked eye.
The local troops recruited from the northern counties have a low sense of honor and integrity, and have already surrendered and retreated on a large scale. The elite troops on the front line are reluctant to surrender to the far port, but the speed of their retreat and rout is not even the advance of the far port. The speed is fast, and the news of the defeat in the battlefield is like a boulder smashing into a lake, setting off a turbulent tsunami.
Soldiers are the most dazed group. They join the army to fight, and they are on the battlefield, like a small stone thrown into a huge torrent. Bloody offensive and defensive pulling, I don't know the battlefield situation... I don't know anything.
But they are also the sharpest of the bunch, able to smell the wind.
That taste is...failure.
The continuous bombardment of fire and rain, the waves caused by the steel torrent, the airships flying in the air, the beams of light rising from all directions, and the meaningless shouts and shouts... Even the Griffin elite troops who are still determined have to admit One fact - the defeat is set.
So, what's next?
retreat?
When to retreat?
Can't fight to the last breath with Kant here?
Even the determined ace troops became anxious.
The army was in turmoil, and their eyes frequently turned to the direction of the command post, and the Grand Speaker had no more orders other than ordering them to stick to their posts and fight the enemy bravely.
Far Harbor's broadcast even dashed along with the torrent of steel.
"Griffin ran away!"
"Griffin Williams ran off with his master!"
"You are all abandoned children! You are all abandoned! Think of your family!"
"I am Callius, the interim president of the council, soldiers, I assure you that as long as..."
In the bunker, Griffin has rejected the generals' repeated requests to see them. Everyone is blocked at the door of the underground fortification, looking at each other, and several female mages have begun to sob.
The ground rumbled and shook.
This inexplicable battle launched by following a person seems to have come to an end.
In the house, or in other words, in the huge secret room excavated inside the special living room of the Great Speaker, the green fire flickers and shines. This is another star palace device different from the deceleration force field. Before this device, the Great Speaker and Phaerson looked at each other.
"The Star Palace's follow-up plans, including our arrangements and secrets in the mortal world, the authority and knowledge that Apophis granted me, have all been told to you."
The God of Star Palace looked gloomy: "You should also give your response - Griffin, I tell you in advance, if you have the idea of bowing to Kant and begging for mercy after deceiving these secrets, I advise you to cancel it as soon as possible. Now , you can either activate this device, let the star palace see your determination and will, and completely oppose Kant, or I will kill you here, which will also make this country chaos."
The door to the room slowly closed, and the last bit of light was swallowed.
Only the green flames kept flickering on the device.
Griffin's expression changed under the light of the fire, he seemed to be silent for a century, and finally, he looked up, his face was cold, and he laughed.
"it is good."
He held down the astrolabe of the star palace device in front of him and injected mana.
The miserable green light illuminated, encouraged, and finally transformed into a strong color, and the invisible ripples spread!
The next moment, the generals waiting at the gate of the bunker, the local troops weeping and wanting to surrender, the elite troops who were determined but also began to get restless, all the council combatants, their eyes lit up with terrifying green light in an instant. The will is being lost, the endless hatred is growing, Griffin is in charge of the army, and adding something to the logistics is too simple!
In an instant, they roared in unison, and hatred was stereotyped and directed.
kill!
kill!
kill!
Killed - Fire Thief!

PS1: I slept last night until this afternoon... I'm really sorry, but I haven't slept well in the past few days. After taking the medicine, I slept very deeply. Damn, it may be the longest and most stable sleep these days.
