On February 25, 154 in the Pandora calendar, the perspective comes to the north where the wild beasts and the giant cities of the old era of mankind are confronting each other.
On the Taihang Mountains, on an exposed rock platform created by explosives, four mechanical flying dragons landed. Su Lingshuang got off a twenty-ton mechanical flying dragon, and delivered a container with it.
The soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the tunnel came out to salute, then blew whistles and directed the vehicles in the tunnel to transport the airdrop boxes to the base.
All this is the order left over from before the war.
When Su Lingshuang boarded the tunnel train, she put on her military uniform and took out the five-color badge and pinned it on her chest. In the five-color alliance, all the upper-level officials now have a military identity without exception. This is a legacy from the old times.
The mark below.

inside the mountain.
In the combat hall, Su Qianqing, the commander of the Taihang Military Area of the Five-Color Alliance, was leaning on the sand table with a group of generals looking at the information taken by the southern sentry team.
Shown on the slide is the military operations process of the Tongfa District in the Dongting Lake area.
Within a range of hundreds of kilometers, one large bomb after another roared through the sky, and the shock wave of a few hundred meters of flash was far better than any of their current artillery shells.
Of course, the Five-Color Alliance still retains the ability to bombard artillery in major city-states. Sometimes a wave of artillery can cover an area no less than that of more than twenty cloud bombs. But these artillery shells must be used sparingly.
Although it is just a picture, the firepower of the conquering army still has a sense of reality that it hits the point.
In the photo, the remains of creatures scattered in the explosion proved that these artillery fire strikes were very accurate. In the later photos, even if the flash did not explode in the group of creatures, the wall of fire lit by the explosive flames chased the group of animals, making them
The scene of birds and beasts scattering made the generals of the Five Color Alliance feel "unreal"

When did humans become so strong and tough?
In the past hundred years, there has been a large tide of beasts, approaching the city like invincible monsters, facing machine gun fire and attacking the city walls. They will eat any living thing they see and repair the wounds. Human ammunition is quickly exhausted.
, can only rely on mechanical beasts to block the opening.
But now in the Hunan-Kiangxi area, there is a front line of hundreds of kilometers, and the beast tide is driven away by human bombs.
Oh, it's not just bombs. There are also cube heads, information-based light tanks with a large number of equipment and modification equipment, and a mechanical regiment.
The convoy with the red five-star logo on the side followed the ruins of the former road, passed through the remaining flames of the cloud explosion, and ran in front of the fleeing beasts, blocking and beating the fleeing beasts.
The sound of the metal door opening and closing slightly interrupted the proceedings of the venue.
Su Lingshuang is here.
The slideshow stopped for a moment, but then resumed,
A few minutes later, personnel from the industrial department of the Five Color Alliance couldn't help but ask: "Where did they get so many big bombs?"
This expert couldn't believe that the world still has such terrifying chemical power. In a war, more than a thousand large bombs with almost ton-level charges were dropped, as if they were endless, as if they were relying on explosive power.
Blow the beast tide back.
In fact, the scale of the bombing was not large, and the precise guidance made the bombing highly efficient, so it seemed that the number of bombings was high.
A voice replied: "This is an alkane bomb, which relies on the explosion formed by the diffusion of alkanes in the air. In the old civilization, it was called a cloud bomb."
At this time, Su Lingshuang noticed a thirty-year-old soldier standing behind her father.
Su Qianqing sensed her daughter's doubts and gave a brief introduction: "He is Zeng Lin, the city lord of Ji'an City in the south. It was the city where we first came into contact with people of the same face. Now all this information is brought to us by him."
…
Back in February,
When the maritime power of the Unification Army clashed with the trainers of the Five-Color Alliance on the eastern coast, the most powerful military organization in the north was also studying the combat power of the Unification Army.
However, the descendants of these cadres who have been hereditary for a hundred years are still a little cautious and have done some research on actual combat cases in the commanded areas.
Oh, it just so happened that the old pustules in Ji'an City who had been squeezed away by the unification zone went north and brought them some information:
The strategic center of gravity of the unification zone is actually the west side.
The Five-Color Alliance still terminated its plan to fight the war with the Allied Forces in the coastal areas, and then set its sights on the west. It is planned to wait until the Allied Forces arrive in the northern interior in a few years, and the Five-Color Alliance will concentrate military forces from various places to wait for work and fight with the Allied Forces.
Have a confrontation.
The Five Color Alliance's base also maintains a batch of wheeled artillery vehicles and a small number of main battle tanks that were sealed during the Cataclysm. This is their bargaining chip.
And they believe that the tanks, aircraft, and artillery currently in the unified control area are also pulled from the southern military base, preparing the unified control army to consume the chips in its hands in the process of moving north.
On March 1st, negotiators sent by the Five Color Federation arrived in Ludi, and at the same time, they also sent another team to Jianye to discuss the possibility of jointly responding to threats in the commanded area.
The game begins.
~
In Jianye City, when Su Lingshuang arrived on the mechanical flying dragon, she happened to meet Qiu Mengfei who was driving the Tianshu Dragon flying carrier.
Qiu Mengfei had a very cordial feeling towards Su Lingshuang at this time. However, compared to the relationship between men and women, this may have something to do with Su Lingshuang's car.
Although the size of the Tianshu Dragon carrier is smaller than that of Su Lingshuang's flying dragon, its weight is not inferior to that of the flying dragon, and its maneuverability is one level ahead of the flying dragon that relies on bioenergy.
When Qiu Mengfei drove the carrier around Su Lingshuang's flying dragon, it was like a male butterfly flying around a female butterfly. The huge mechanical wings stirred up the airflow.
Su Lingshuang, who was sitting in the fluid cockpit on Feilong's back, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she saw such a carrier aircraft for the first time.
But when Qiu Mengfei's voice came through the cockpit communication, she breathed a sigh of relief.
A few years ago, he was in love and she was interested. However, after a few months, it became less romantic. At this time, rekindling needs to wait.
After Jianye confirmed the identity of the messenger, Qiu Mengfei led Su Lingshuang into the Jianye center runway.
However, what Su Lingshuang didn't know was that when Qiu Mengfei came closer, the controlled organ in the flying dragon she was sitting on was used to draw energy from the Tianshu Dragon's life field, and biological veins emerged from the mechanical constraint structure.
Signs of breakthrough.
The heart of this northern five-color alliance mechanical dragon has grown fleshy roots, breaking through the metal structure of the organs, and touching the body of the flying dragon like an "electric shock" with every beat of the heart, making the entire mechanical dragon now look like
I feel more motivated.
When the flying dragon landed at the Purple Mountain Observatory, the new alliance dialogue between the Five Color Federation and Jianye began. Both sides are now interested in containing the increasingly growing control areas in recent years.
And the information about such a private plan to contain it also came to the Tongfa District along the intelligence chain a few days later.
…
In March, the Tongfa District built a base area, Yishui City, fifty kilometers south of Xinlu City.
Compared with Xinlu, this new city has no fixed city walls in this area.
In the early stages of construction, it only took ten days to build simple dormitories with bricks and tiles, which were similar to the temporary housing of migrant workers on the construction site. Even the painting was not done, so a layer of mud was used and then painted
plaster.
The focus of urban construction in the Tongfu area is not city walls, but roads and drainage. These two are the metabolism of the city.
There are smooth gravel roads inside the dormitory area, and people walk on them wearing Jiefang shoes with steel nails, wooden soles, rubber edges, and cloth uppers.
The dormitory area and the market area are paved with a thin layer of rare cement. It is convenient for people to use non-motorized vehicles (three-wheelers, scooters) to bring personal supplies, food, cloth, and fuel back to the residential area.
As for industrial areas and port stations, steel tracks are specially designed to supply motor vehicles. There are also dedicated cranes at the stations to hoist landing gears.
This kind of differentiated district design can ensure the metabolism of the city as much as possible under difficult conditions such as material shortages and most materials using bricks, tiles and steel bars from ruined areas.
Such a stop-gap measure made Wei Keng nostalgic for the 21st century, when even the doorstep of his home was a hardened road that could carry a two- or three-ton truck. With good infrastructure, he could walk as he pleased.
~
The current immigrants in the new area are also using organization and discipline to maintain a lifestyle that fits this road plan.
In residential areas, residents are assigned to work every week to level the gravel roads with shovels.
In the commercial area, everyone's bicycles will automatically move in two lanes on the left and two lanes on the right, leaving an emergency lane in the middle.
In the industrial zone, people who drive steam vehicles or ride on colonial mechas will register themselves at various entrances and exits and receive signs indicating the weight of their vehicles. These signs are convenient for road commanders to check at the hub.
planning.
Road order is the foundation of civilization and a subtle reflection of the country's organizational power.
This is called maintaining traffic in daily life, but in wartime, it is an order and a prohibition.
In ancient times, there was a special term for the army in the East, called "marching", which means marching in an orderly manner. Those who march in good order may not be able to fight, but if the marching order is not orderly, it will definitely be a mob.
After the incident in Xinlu City, the Tongfu District was careful. It was not to recruit a servant army to solve the problem, but to manage it.
~
After the new round of missions from the Five Color Alliance arrived in the area, the military families in the missions who had passed down generations of military families could clearly feel the willpower projected by the Tongfa District from this new residential area.
Such military standards were only used to require about 10% of the core personnel in the Five-Color Alliance. But now, in this Yishui residential area, even ten-year-old children carrying schoolbags are required to walk in line and raise their hands when speaking! This is
A rare phenomenon since the end of the world.
Of course, when they identify something good about their competitors, conservatives rarely think about it head-on and often make judgments with colored glasses.
The five-color alliance envoy wearing camouflage military uniforms looked at the individual guards maintaining order in Yishui City, and his eyes narrowed, as if he knew the answer to "Why is there such order here?"
~
At the negotiation table, both parties sat down, and the hot water kettle boiled on the coal stove was brought in, and the enamel teacups in front of everyone's tables were filled with hot water. The chill of early spring was dissipated by the heat of the teapot in front of the table.
After exchanging yellowed paper documents (the current papermaking technology of both parties is not good), the two parties put forward their own requirements.
Then we quickly ran into trouble.
Everyone knows that they can't reach an agreement, and with things like this, it goes without saying that everyone knows that there are many conflicts between the two parties.
However, it is also the meaning of negotiation to figure out where exactly there is "no agreement".
For example, in the documents of the Five-Color Alliance, Article 15: "Survey part of the Weicheng cluster" is a situation that the commanding area could not have imagined before the negotiations.
Also, during the break in negotiations, while serving tea, the transcriber who temporarily acted as a waiter heard the Five Color Alliance sneer at the fact that the enamel teapot in the conference room was the same one as the one on the public table on the street outside.
Their expressions on Tongfa District's "poor taste" of "matching clothes" with street goods reflect the arrogant attitude of some artists in modern times towards vulgar aesthetics.
This also allowed the cadres in the unified control area to understand what it means to "break away from the masses" and "engage in special treatment" in weekly ideological education.
Negotiation cannot solve the hostility of "friendly countries", but it can know what hostility "friendly countries" have.
Once you understand these nails, you will know where to hit with the hammer and how to pry with the hammer!
…
After Yishui sent back the negotiation notes.
In Hengyang, the Central Command of the Unification and Expeditions still stated in its second instruction that it would not retreat, and once again made a targeted bottom line.
The crewmen who have always occupied a key position in the control zone have been serving the people every day in the original world. Although they don't understand anything, after coming to this world and constantly dealing with the stinky residue left after the apocalypse, they all recognize this
The concept of simplicity.
If it had always been entrenched in the south, this simple concept might have been ignored and gradually forgotten in the process of development. But now the negative teaching material of the Five Color Alliance has appeared! These ordinary boat runners from the plane of death have been profoundly
He taught "what is reactionary".
Crew Faction: When we cannot fully serve the people, we can only imagine whether we can perfunctory the task. But it is better for the top hereditary in this apocalypse to directly bring themselves into the hands of their masters and engage in "hostage" transactions.
Moreover, this hostage transaction directly selected Wei Keng, who was among the people!
Wei Keng does not want power, but Wei Keng's culture, knowledge level, work ability, and continuous efforts to "learn first and lead later" have expanded his sharp eyes from himself to the public.
This makes no one in the crew dare to work half-heartedly, because they have learned deeply from Wei Keng what mass supervision is.
Now, the Five-Color Alliance actually still adopts the idea of "give a piece of paper and draw rich households to fill the margins". It takes it for granted, thinking that it is nothing more than "encountering some resistance during operation".
This has proved that the thinking of both parties is in two different worlds.
Faced with the Five-Color Alliance's frivolous operation, Hengyang would repeatedly emphasize: "Issues of principle cannot be challenged. Don't be ambiguous and explain to them clearly that some things are absolutely impossible."

After receiving clear instructions from the central government, diplomats in the Yishui New Base Area had the confidence to speak out.
During the negotiation on the second day, Chu Cang knocked the enamel tea jar on the table. This knock was skillful. The water in the water jar was exactly one-third, and the mouth of the water jar was slightly tilted outward, so that the water
The bottom of the tank vibrates, and the ejected water splashes directly to the opposite side.
This amount of water sprayed all over the opponent's face. It was much cleaner than spitting, and the amount of water produced was also larger.
Chu Cang: "We understand your actual situation (the current situation of poverty), and we are also willing to provide certain material help. But don't try to "smash the pot". The fifteen points you proposed are delusional. Now, unless
You send core personnel to study with us, but our technical staff will never unilaterally communicate with you."
The people of the Five Color Alliance were still in a state of bewilderment with their faces wet by water. When Chu Cang took the lead, they reacted and immediately entered into a quarrel.
In the Five Color Alliance, Mu Chiyang suppressed his anger: "This is your attitude! No wonder the Jianye people say that you are nouveau riche who don't understand etiquette."
The diplomats on the Tongfu District side who endorsed their duties midway saw that the other party's words lacked the so-called diplomatic rhetoric.
Huang Yu also complained directly: "Chemistry, physics, algebra, and geometry are not degenerate forces that have no popular education. They are worthy of dragging us with gifts! Rituals and music? Rather than letting you be crowned by monkeys, it is better to bury them in the soil and wait for future generations to dig up."
