MTL - Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds-Chapter 894 Great Wall, Network Road
The war is over, the dust has settled.
Although the main force of the Northern Council was only defeated, there were still a lot of baggage and reserve forces in the territory, and the war potential was not exhausted, it was just over half of the mobilization, and the stamina was full.
But the war is indeed over.
Just like the Great Speaker of Kalios, who clearly holds the heavy army in the south, but in the face of Kant's vicious move to tear the country apart and separate the northern counties, he still chooses to acquiesce and compromise, and is turned around by the scumbag pua.
Of course, there is a reason for Kant's means, but more importantly, he saw the general trend.
...By the way, the "general trend" here is the original meaning, don't make a mistake.
In short, after Griffin was executed in public, the deceleration force field and the psychic mechanism were cracked and destroyed in turn, the war was no longer in suspense.
The northern counties have lost their prestigious soul leaders, and have been unable to organize large-scale resistance, let alone confront Kant's front. The balance of power between the two sides is changing rapidly.
- After all, Griffin was sitting on a deceleration force field, which reduced the power of Aurora's alchemical weapons to the weakest, and was still flattened by Kant's steel torrent. With this, the delusions of the countries to contain Kant can be put to rest.
What's more, the destruction of the deceleration force field liberates more than just conventional alchemy weapons.
And forbidden spells.
Overnight, the Yankees on the council were stunned to discover that the leaders they followed had become sinners who betrayed the world, and that they had become their minions, lackeys, and accomplices.
One moment ago, the insurgents who followed the Griffin Speaker to regain the due interests of the northerners, demanded to share the market of the southern islands, and obtained more political rights, became the traitors of the mortal world the next moment.
Crimes against humanity, crimes against the world, crimes of launching wars, crimes of aggression against other countries, crimes against the star palace, crimes against humanity... Kant's transport captain drove straight in, and the leaflet attack was filled again, and a big buckled hat was clearly written on On paper, it makes a kind of rich merchants and nobles and Austrians feel dizzy.
The northern counties were shocked three times a day.
The dignitaries have no spirit at all, and have absolutely no blood to fight with Kant.
They first got in touch with Tulaxiaye quickly, and through the family's connections and connections, they made a fool of the southern guy... Oh no, it was the Britneys who got on the line again.
All of them have become loyal and filial sons, claiming to have recognized their mistakes and are willing to unconditionally return to the rule of Turashaye. Everyone is a member of the Austrian Law Council, blood is thicker than water, and I beg my former colleagues and friends to see For the sake of the French (Huh) country, pull the brothers together.
On the other side, they sent envoys to the north with heavy gifts, met the Dragon of Aurora, told their past events, complained of grievances, and said that they were also blinded by the hateful person who raped Griffin, and had no intention of betraying the mortal world.
As a result, both roads were eaten up.
Although Tulaxiaye was angry, he still pinched his nose and refused the Yankee's request.
They hated Kant's robbery and greedy plundering, and they simply pointed out the words to each other.
- The Aurora people said that this war is not over, and the only way to end it is for the northern counties that started the war to surrender unconditionally to Far Harbor. If Turashaye re-accepts the north, he will be regarded as the main body of the northern counties, and will be responsible for the behavior of the northern counties that betray the mortal world and take refuge in the Star Palace.
The Far Harbor will continue the war on this basis until the initiator of the war surrenders unconditionally.
The phrase was so euphemistic that it had to be translated—meaning, the Far Harbor cost a lot and paid a heavy price to win Griffin's rebels and settle the turmoil in the Northern Council, not to help Tula Xia Ye is a wedding dresser, if you hide behind and pick peaches, I will beat you with me.
The Yankees felt chills in their hearts, and only then did they fully realize that the situation was over.
Even Tulaxiaye had to submit to Kant's will. The direction of this war, the fate of the country, and the fate of the entire family were completely in the hands of the Aurora people.
But the problem is...
Kant's conditions are too harsh.
Hand over all the family property, only half of the precious metal floating wealth is allowed, leave the land where generations have lived, leave all employees and servants, and move the family to a distant port.
This condition is so vicious to the core that when these powerful and powerful families see it, they all swear, resent and cannot help themselves, wishing to eat the flesh of Kant.
They would never be grateful that Kant left them half of the money! They will only feel that Kant has deprived them of their status, taken away their means of production, and left them without a livelihood!
money? What is the money for? Without status, without land, without property, without people, the money in hand is the root of disaster, it will only speed up the passage, and sooner or later it will be wiped clean!
-What about moving the whole family to the far port and starting a new life, bah! Just afraid of fierce resistance! When the family really moves to the far port, it will be rubbed and rounded by others, and the half of the money in his hand will also be slowly scraped off by Kant, and eventually he will end up with nothing and fall into the mud!
In short, Kant's despicable scheme was seen through by the powerful and powerful in the north at a glance.
After all, they are all too familiar with this kind of thing. Kant used this almost undisguised ugly appearance and too rough method to deal with them, which is simply too contemptible!
The northern counties resounded with the scolding of the powerful.
In the face of the greedy aggression and shameless demands of the Aurora people, everyone was furious and could not bear it!
With contempt and hatred for the invaders, they clean up! Ready to run!
…if not? Do you want to stay and fight Kant to the end? What a joke, Griffin has never played, and Kant has released words to kill the whole family!
Who dares to stay and try to see if his words count?
However, Kant seemed to have expected what they were thinking, and bad news followed.
The messenger who was sent to the border of Goethe to kneel and lick Kant didn't even have time to take off the trousers of the Aurora Dragon, so he was sent back by Dong Tianming and brought back a long and wide list.
That is the list of war criminals that Far Harbor has already listed.
In the northern counties, all those with small fortunes are listed impressively.
The messengers brought back Kant's order, ordering all the families and individuals on the list to stay in the local area, maintain the normal production and operation of the industry, freeze all transactions and transfers, and seal up the property.
Wait for the relevant departments to receive it.
Anyone who tries to buy a Dragonair ticket and run to the Imperial Winery overnight will be treated as a thief.
Anyone who attempts to sell real estate and transfer funds and properties to other countries will also be dealt with as anti-thieves.
The most outrageous thing is that there is actually a recruitment information attached to this list.
It is said that the Ministry of Solidarity of the Far Harbor has established a new department with the northern counties as its main business, called the "Special Search Department", whose main function is to search for the property and materials that the "Xinggong Rebel Party" is trying to hide, to ensure The remnants of the Star Palace have been completely eliminated in the northern counties, and there is no possibility of resurgence.
The members of the Special Investigation Department are mainly soldiers from the council, and locals recruited from the convoys. In addition, they are also specially recruited to the northern counties to encourage them to lead the way and collect clues.
Whoever can make an effective report and provide strong clues so that the special search department can find the property hidden and transferred by the target can get at most one-tenth of the amount of stolen money as a reward.
Among them, it is particularly pointed out that even the families, clans and organizations on the list of suspects can send elite members to join the special search department voluntarily, and fully promote the full understanding and love of each family organization to the "friends and businessmen". A two-way report.
In this way, the remnants of the Star Palace can be uprooted from the northern counties, and they can also wash away their own sins, showing the meaning of abandoning the dark and throwing light. After all, mutual supervision can lead to common progress.
Seeing this, the hearts of the powerful are half cold.
They realized that Kant gave them no chance at all.
It said "voluntarily join the special investigation department", but the letter sent with the list clearly stated that three to five shrewd and capable family members were immediately selected to join the special investigation department. This is an order.
Obviously, when the outstanding members of the various clans show up in the name of the Special Search Department, the last hope of the noble clans in the northern counties to unite will no longer exist!
Because the Prisoner's Dilemma has come.
You can't run away.
The teleportation array leading to the south was closed in one direction, the port was blocked, and the sky was controlled. Furthermore, Kant made it very clear that all those who ran were treated as war criminals. , I will also take you back and chop it up.
Gather for violent resistance?
That can't be beat at all, and it's even worse after losing.
If you want to hide and transfer some property secretly, so as not to be scratched too hard by Kant - the disgusting thing of the Special Search Department has already been taken out.
In a daze, the dignitaries heard new bad news.
The Far Harbor Air Force and the giant dragons have already entered the country on a large scale, and have dropped a large number of purple crystal pillars near the main traffic roads, fields and strategic locations.
The thing took root directly on the surface, spreading a circle of purple shadows around it.
Then the strange equipment was sent over.
"That was the inspiration that came out of the war the other day."
In the frontline headquarters, Kant looked at the shining spots on the map and explained to Dereira.
"At that time, the soldiers of the council were still under mind control, and our army was eager to destroy the deceleration force field and the psychic mechanism, so it could only force it forward..."
Kant paused, looking at Dereira, who suddenly smiled brightly: "What are you laughing at?"
The queen smiled brightly, leaning over to look at the digital map with abstract lines and unremarkable lines, and urged: "It's nothing, you continue to talk."
...is getting weirder.
Kant glanced at her again, shook his head, and continued: "The problem at the time was that the mind-controlled enemy hid in bunkers, tunnels, etc., was tied with explosive crystals, suddenly jumped out, and launched a suicide attack at close range... It makes our army react hastily for a while, and it is easy to cause casualties."
"The solution at the time was to place paradoxical pillars on the battlefield on a large scale, deploy teleportation prisms, and then use drones to conduct large-scale battlefield reconnaissance to closely monitor all changes."
"When the enemy raid team appears, immediately report the coordinates through the command link. After confirming the coordinates, select the nearest teleportation prism jump force."
"I organized a quick-response unit on standby in the space-time hub to do this job... The suicide squad conducts raids, and we also conduct raids, teleporting from the enemy's flank, and sending them away in a single encounter. After using this mechanism, the enemy commits suicide The results of the raid came down immediately."
Derrila's eyes flashed with surprise when she heard this.
The previous joy has been forgotten... As the most outstanding monarch and famous general in the world, she instantly realized the huge usefulness of this mode mechanism.
"So you applied it to the northern counties?"
"Yes."
Kant looked at the map and said: "There are millions of square kilometers of land, so many cities and populations, if you want to manage the garrison, even if you scatter all the troops in the far port, you can't manage it, and it must be broken down into parts. , was involved in a huge amount of energy and soldiers, and he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't do it well."
"But with this military system, the garrison in the northern counties only needs a second-level brigade to suppress riots. Because the northern counties would not dare to organize a large-scale army even if they wanted to resist. To engage in confrontation, the most likely approach is to sneak up on sabotage.”
"Every high-value area will be stationed with an outpost with a teleportation prism as the main body. The outpost can even be unmanned, only one or two automated defense weapons, power generation devices, signal base stations, and identification modules are installed. monitoring system...that should suffice."
"As soon as a threat is identified, or a warning is received, an immediate response can be made."
"For example, a hired saboteur destroys a road or a telephone pole. They are well-trained and cooperate with each other. They complete the task in a few minutes and flee quickly when they succeed. Then I have to say that if they did not buy a set of five thousand The teleportation formation that started with the gold coins leaves directly, then they are dead."
"Within three minutes at the most, a drone will be flying overhead, locking on to them, firing missiles, and they won't even know who killed them."
"If you want to catch someone alive, the drone will launch a teleportation beacon nearby, and a team of elite operators is ready to call for more support at any time."
Kant pressed the keyboard, and on the map, the vast land of the northern counties was dotted with dots.
Liancheng's intricate lines, like a giant hand, control the overall situation.
"Kalios said that it is difficult for me to govern the northern counties, and I really look down on people."
This set is placed on Earth, and the US emperor who specializes in public security warfare has to shout Dad.
Delilah marveled at this grand war system.
Without the need for road support and logistical support, the advantage of hyperspace mobility is maximized, supplemented by the rapid transmission and response of battlefield intelligence information... A few thousand soldiers can suppress a country.
She whispered, "What's the name of this military system?"
Kant turned to her with a proud look on his face.
"-Great Wall."
"Very appropriate."
Derrella didn't react differently to the name, which was normal, it was just a name, she cared about other things.
The queen said quietly: "It seems that you really care about the northern counties. Not only do you want to uproot the old forces here, but you also specially designed such a riot control system..."
"Not the old forces."
Kant denied: "I drove them away, not to put those loyal to me in to become a new force."
Delilah tilted her head, indicating she didn't understand.
"The northern counties were swept away, not by the old forces, but by the entire class of rentiers."
"Now there are no emperors, no nobles, no capitalists, just me, and the working people."
"I did this not only to make the northern counties a more efficient source of troops, resources, materials, and weapons, and to clear the rentier class, because I wanted to do an experiment."
Kant said lightly: "Experiment to find a way suitable for the mortal world."
Derrella said crisply: "I don't understand."
"It's hard to explain, and even if you're professionally trained, you can still be scared."
He smiled: "Simply put, I want the mortal world to be like my country, a better one that I am familiar with, but I can't transfer our model and successful experience."
Having said this, Kant lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Nearly a hundred years ago, my country was still another regime, it was rotten to death, and the forerunners wanted to take another path. They imitated a successful great country. The result was a miserable result, and a lot of price was paid, and only one experience can be summed up... that is, specific problems should be analyzed in detail, and they must not be rhetorical."
"The experience of that big country is different from our country, and the situation in the mortal world is also different from our country. There is no such thing as an extraordinary person in my hometown, and there is absolutely no place for a social class and group with supernatural talents. If we carry over the successful experience of our time without thinking, the seniors will probably not be happy, but will be disappointed."
He spread his hands and said: "The far port has my prestige suppression and the entire public opinion, so the opposition between the extraordinary and ordinary people is not obvious, but the problem still exists. They are inherently different from ordinary people, and a little training can set fire to them. The ball, the other one can’t rub a spark in a lifetime of practice, the difference is so big, under such conditions, I don’t think any slogan that everyone is created equal is unconvincing.”
Looking at Dereira's dazed and inexplicable expression, Kant shook his head: "Forget it, let's talk about winning the Star Palace, it's useless to say anything if you can't win the Star Palace..."
The queen really didn't understand what Kant was saying.
Because in terms of the elves' social form, life span, comprehensive national strength, wealth gap, life attitude, etc., there is absolutely no soil for the birth of the red trend of thought...
—The stage of the Dusk Moon Dynasty when it needed to squeeze the people the most, and the most prominent domestic conflicts, was pushed past by the parrot, who relied on the great discovery of magic technology and the golden age.
Seeing Kant's lack of interest, Derrella took the initiative to skip the topic. She pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you considered the application of that space transmission system in civilian use and governance?"
Kant froze for a moment, then smiled.
"Of course I thought about connecting the whole world with a teleportation channel."
"Economic activity, population movement, material exchange, and progress in communication, all will become faster, and many urban pressures will be eased. Cities and villages will be connected in a closer way, and governance costs will be greatly reduced. Social efficiency will be greatly reduced. Get higher and change will happen in every way.”
He stretched and shook his head.
"The invention of the wheel and the domestication of large livestock made the connection between settlements closer, so civilization could develop further. The significance of transportation to civilization is far more than travel. The mode of space transition goes beyond trains, planes and ferries, and should be able to promote Civilization advances again... I certainly have the plan."
"But now is not the time."
"For the people's livelihood in the Far Harbor and even the northern counties, the sea, land and air are enough. Sarana's processing capacity is limited, so let's focus on the military first."
Derrella was fascinated, she understood this, and was very interested.
So he asked, "When will it be civilian's turn?"
Kant replied casually: "At least after the Star Palace is played, right?"
The queen laughed, looking even happier: "Have you thought about it for so long?"
"Ah." Kant turned to look at the sky, "The world outside the atmosphere is monitored and shrouded by the star palace. One era after another, the souls of the mortal world are bound by gravity. After the mountain above the head is removed, the crisis of destruction No longer exists, defeated the powerful enemy living in the starry sky, what will you do after that?"
"Complete such a magnificent and romantic feat..." He turned his head and rolled his eyes at Dereira, "Don't tell me, you guys still want to stay on this mud planet to fight."
Delilah thought thoughtfully: "It's very likely that this is the case. Now that there is a threat from the Star Palace, the countries are still suspicious, and they still can't help but fight infighting, not to mention that after the Star Palace is defeated, they must be more unscrupulous. They attacked and killed each other, because between countries, there is always something to be robbed..."
"So I'm a good man. After winning the Star Palace, I'll find something for you to do. Don't stare at the one-acre and three-point land on the mother star all day..."
With the support of the hyperspace transition system, interstellar travel and cosmic exploration will not be so slow.
But then again..."
Kant murmured: "What will the universe of this world look like?"
At this moment, Derrila patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go and have a look when the time comes!"
The Earthlings were startled.
The Queen's heart tightened slightly, trying to keep herself calm.
Then she listened to Kant say slowly: "...Well, okay."
The elf laughed all of a sudden, she smiled and hugged her directly: "That's it!"
"…Oh."
"No regrets."
"There's nothing to regret."
"Hey—speaking of which, what's the name of your civilian version of the teleportation system?"
"I didn't think about it... the Grand Canal?"
"It's weird—you see, there are countless dots and countless transition channels intertwined. It really looks like a big net, a mesh-like space channel. It's better to call it a network channel."
"A name, whatever you want to call it."
Delilah was going to say more, just then, the phone on the table buzzed.
Kant raised his hand to connect, and turned on the speakerphone by the way: "What?"
"Father, the latest news from the Empire."
The peaceful and casual atmosphere of jokes disappeared, and Kant turned cold.
"—Found that bastard?"

PS1: Grass, big spray, I feel sick and nauseated when I eat. I almost vomited after eating a few dates this afternoon, and I have a fever and a headache... After thinking about it, it should be that the dishes I ate at noon that day were too troublesome to put in the refrigerator, and the weather was hot. , Everyone, be careful too... Sitting on the toilet and typing is also a must.
