33.12 Planning for the future(1/2)
Zhouyou is indeed not in the vertical area of ‘典’, but to the horizontal area below.
To be precise: I went to Xiahong Island first, explained the matters on the island, and further delegated power to Yuqian, he took Lu Boya and other students to the south.
Xiahong Island is an economic development center as a crossroads of maritime traffic. However, it is not suitable for a regional administrative center. This area is too far away from other areas. Before entering the Internet age, regional barriers occur all the time. When people on the island are rich, they will be less concerned about the outside world than cities in land areas. When the outside world is in trouble, it is naturally difficult to invest in the government in the center of the island. (The founding of the 13 states of the United States, which was instigated by a group of merchants, turned against England.)
Therefore, the "fundamental place" in the eyes of the outside world is to be handed over to Yu Qian, and Yu Qian, who seems to be very happy, may have been the role of a housekeeper. However, he did not notice that there was a look of pity flashing in Lu Boya's eyes when she looked at her.
...
At present, Xiahong Island still has a historical problem, that is, half of the area is now in the hands of the floating family.
Although the population, economy, industry and military are not on the same level, it is stuck in that piece of land and nearby waters. This has always made the development of Ranlun Xiahong Island a vacant link.
This time, the Zhouyou is here to solve this problem. Of course, this war is not on the island, because the enemies on the island are no longer worthy of fighting against Lan Lun, and the local area of the Floating Family is in the "六".
The trip to Ran Lun this time was not mainly to settle hatred with the Floating Sky, but to expand commercial cooperation through abnormal negotiations.
Since the 107th year of the Holy Gu Li, since the Land Bridge area was acquired by the Rim Wheel, it has formed a production advantage in many low-end industries. In the industrial product industry chain, the upstream and downstream are equally important. However, for those who are powerful, it is better to control the upstream.
If strategic thinking is limited to Xiahong Island, then it must be to grasp the core components and then use the financial model to control the downstream industrial chain. This is the thinking of the island country colonizing the world in history.
The world tour is definitely not limited by history. It is difficult to capture downstream industries, and it must be captured. No matter how difficult the major government is, it must be built. Even if the cost is very strict, even if the war is corpses and blood.
Therefore, if you fight directly on the southern land, you will fight... and persuade the floating family. As for the floating bait, you will advise the floating family as much as you can. - because the purpose is to break up the feudal alliance relationship.
On July 14, Jueying came out of seclusion in the north to fight.
The burning wheel had completed its landing on the southern coastline, and lightning took down the Iron Reef Port of the Floating Family. Then, the armored troops began to go west along the coastline.
During the landing operation of the Rising Wheel, several new tank units appeared:
1. The tonnage is 120 tons and there are four tracks. The tank charges with all its might and can easily knock over a large truck on the earth, just as easy as a brick hitting an iron lunch box.
The most distinctive one is that two 125mm 52-caliber rifled guns are deployed on the turret. This is what Lu Boya strongly proposed, and she specially made the corresponding automatic ammunition supply system.
This student is so keen on developing this super tank, so it is difficult for Zhouyou to reject it. Of course, its name makes Zhouyou feel a bit strange and familiar - Tianhu Chongtan.
The Apocalypse Heavy Tank, the entire tank is smooth from the turret to the body, and complex fire control equipment is deployed on it. Due to the unstable processing, the first batch of production was 28 vehicles. However, this number must be enough in this war.
This time, there were seven Apocalypse Heavy Tanks in total, fifty-three Kainiu tanks that could be mass-produced, and hundreds of all-terrain four-wheel drive vehicles.
2. The one who got a good start in the landing battle was the Thunderbird Air Defense Vehicle. This is a tank carrying seven missiles. Just after landing, I encountered the signature arms of the floating family, a suspended biological airship.
The twenty-ton thunderbirds were turning their tracks and were on the periphery. When they encountered such slow flying objects, six missiles swept over (at first, more than 30, but later they found that the firepower was too high, and the hit rate of the two was nearly 100%.)…
Under the caress of the fragments, the metal shells outside the floating family airboat were all broken on the spot, revealing many tentacles inside. Of course, the airbags were also poked by the warhead fragments and lost their lift.
The airship fell from the ground. Judging from the scale of the explosion that fell to the ground, the airship seemed to carry a lot of bombs. Unfortunately, these "eggs" were not thrown out.
...
After the first wave of troops successfully landed.
Lu Boya, dressed in information machinery exoskeleton armor, passed the information screen broadcast from the plane through the sky. He looked at the south like cheese, covering the cave entrance, and breathed a deep breath. Then he took out the harmonica from his pocket, nodded and played a song.
On the rock crystal star.
The temperate marine climate in the north is occupied by various ant towers; and on the coastline of the core economic zone in the south are oasis corridors.
Towards south, there are a large number of dense sand dunes and underground caves. The caves are excavated by desert worms, and these insects occupy precious groundwater resources. Even the water sources of surface rivers have to grab a large part of them through caves on the riverbed every year.
If you want to change the basic situation in the Southern Continent, you can only rely on large-scale infrastructure, and if you want infrastructure, you must first solve the nobles here.
The Floating Family is a very simple computer. Well, a very simple opponent.
In this battle, the losses they caused to the burning wheel were very small, and the burning wheel did not even cause much damage to the local area; they took over three cities of the floating family.
The battle came smoothly, and the tanks drove to the center of the city, and the most fragile towers in the city were not marked by bullets.
[The floating family needs to supply air boats, so every important city has an iron tower. This makes Lu Boya feel very awesome.]
There is nothing to describe in the war process, it is simply an armed parade.
However, afterward analysis, it was taken for granted. The floating family is the power of the flying locust family with the support of the imperial capital; the way of checking and balancing the imperial capital is to provide industrial products such as weapons. Now that the Northern War has begun, the local military reserves are not enough to fight a war of strong firepower. The industrial scale itself is also very small, after all, the oasis economy is very fragile.
The only result of the Apocalypse Chongtan, which was highly anticipated by the General Staff of the Ranlunnan Conscription Corps, was to destroy several fortresses with broken armor bombs.
All large targets were basically killed by the Kainiu tank, and even the self-propelled cannons did not have the chance to take action.
Even in the reconnaissance troops with four-wheel drive and motorcycles, the jeep-mounted mortars fired a few shots, and the officers in the southern insect cluster sent surrender. - Compared with the nobles in the north, the nobles in the south were just not timid before the war.
In late July, the entire southern coastline was hit by the Zhouyou.
The cities of the three major families, floating, crushing spider, lizard snake, and all were captured. The other four families leaning against the east knew the combat effectiveness of the northern land bridge, so they expressed peace in advance.
Lu Boya: "Everyone is really a model of peace!"
...
August 4th.
That is, when Jue Ying completed control of the territory of the Five Princes and began to further south, Zhou You signed an agreement with these defeated families.
These envoys from the defeated family were very nervous because even the city was broken through by Zhou You, so it was possible to be directly destroyed in this chaotic world. What should we pay now?
And in the negotiations, a series of clauses made them feel relieved. First, there was no compensation for defeat.
On the contrary, Zhouyou gave them three big families and sixteen small families, with a total of 130 million butterflies interest-free loans. He asked them to hire a infrastructure team of Lanlun to build a canal system for the South Ring Belt.
This canal was planned by the Fenglong Empire three hundred years ago and started to operate. However, the Fenglong Empire collapsed and the Golden Beetle Empire took power and enfeoffed the southern land, and the original Grand Canal plan went bankrupt.
Zhouyou decided to plan to resurrect the Grand Canal again, and the Rishe Roller was responsible for all the funds. After the canal was built, the profit would be 10% of the local forces. (In the capital era, in the zero-sum game, a project would have a big win as long as it occupies the largest share. Because as the leading position of the battle, its debt borrowing ability is higher than that of others, and it can instantly expand even one-percent advantage ten times, allowing other challengers to automatically give up.)
However, now, such a favorable plan and almost free money, the negotiation experts from several families were unable to believe it, and repeatedly asked whether it was true.
Of course, Zhouyou finally wanted a right that was not important in the eyes of each family - the silver coins minted by burning wheels in southern currencies, and it is the only legal currency. What? All families think it is OK.
After talking about the economy, the rest is to cede land.
Zhouyou asked for what he should ask for, and his other half of Xiahong Island. This also fulfilled his promise to the Lie Locust family.
Fukong hurriedly agreed to this request. In their opinion, the place on Xiahong Island was just a step to respond to the checks and balances strategy of the Golden Beetle royal family. Now the Golden Beetle royal family is in chaos, and Lan Lun even hits the doorstep. There is no need for him to be ignorant of it.
Outside this.
Zhouyou takes the southern boundary line of many lords in the southern continent as an example to store the development rights of the southern blockbusters. For these nobles, the areas with many southern worm caves are not able to develop. Since the strong burning wheel wants it, it will be given.
After September, when the northern king flag changed.
The burning wheel is developing the desert wormhole area across the southern caves. Batch after batch of expedition teams entered the caves and began to investigate under the escort of the Megdolite UAV Corps.
...
The climate of the entire southern continent is completely different from that of the north. It is very dry and just after leaving the coastline, the air humidity has dropped sharply.
Since the planet has been washed by heavy rainstorms, it has not been ten thousand years. The southern desert is a Gobi Desert formed by large chunks of gravel.
And below the Gobi Desert, there is a complex tunnel system.
In this underground world, Guworms evolved shockingly diverse species here.
Here are lurking hunters—such as the 50-kilogram swordsmantis.
There are also lurking assassins in the pond - eight tons of crushed horse land.
Others are extremely fast group hooligans - steel-backed cockroaches covered with horny thorns.
...
August 14, 108th year of the Holy Gu Calendar.
Lu Boya formed the Mad Shark Pioneer Expedition Team here.
The first batch of bases of the expedition team were deployed in the eastern valley of the Gobi Desert.
This area has extremely important water resources. The flow rate of the river flows from the southern plateau area has dropped through the area.
After geological exploration, it was speculated that it was penetrated by underground caves, and what was lost was not only water sources, but also extremely precious soil resources. All of these passed through underground rivers and penetrated into the ocean.
Zhouyou is preparing to build a dam here and plans to restore the area into a prosperous industrial and agricultural base. Then we must figure out how many underground rivers the worms have created underground to facilitate future engineering operations.
Now the high-tech expedition team sent by Lu Boya is passing through the most dangerous underground cave tunnel and is attacked at this time.
A large number of swordsmanship with perfect camouflage color jumped out of the mossy crevices.
These insects popped out of the front turtle like bullet shrimps, knocking two kilograms of forelimbs on the Megalodon mecha at twice the speed of sound.
The Megatonite Mecha, which was raided, was suddenly broken. Of course, the sword saint mantis family was not good enough to kill them, and almost all of them were destroyed.
On the signal station next to the entrance of the sinkhole.
Lu Boya held her helmet and looked at the blurry snowflake attack scene on the camera through the black and white screen. He ordered the troops to continue exploring.
Didi, the communication has sounded.
Since he is busy with work, Lu Boya put his hand beside his mouth and yawned, sorted out his face, and opened the black and white call interface.
On the interface is the World of the World.
Zhou You put down the information and nodded to the camera: "Xiao Lu, the progress in the south is good, well, the old rules, you can report it first."
Lu Boya: "The air force system has been successfully arranged, the ground legion has been deployed, and there is no threat on the surface, but the commander and the underground situation is much more complicated than I thought."
Zhou You: "For related material needs, you can make a list and I will prepare it. By the way, do you think there can support the large immigration policy now?"
