Him and their stars

Chapter 838 In the final analysis, it’s all about cost

In this way, the students present finally evolved from the Napoleonic War era to the Crimean War era, and finally passed through the Boer War and Russo-Japanese War eras, and finally evolved to the First World War era.

It only took them less than an hour to complete more than a century of tactical evolution, not because everyone was extremely smart, but because the original situation was not normal. When technical equipment reaches this level, the revolution in military concepts will only puncture a layer of window paper.

"Okay, we are talking about defense. As for offense, there is no good case yet. You still need to allow me to think about it for a while."

The students laughed one after another, and the scene was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Everyone said that what Commander Yu Lian taught everyone today is enough for everyone to use for a lifetime. Such a great kindness will never be forgotten. As for attacking, although it sounds very exciting, it takes time to digest the knowledge, so it can be left for later.

They were indeed very moved. In the past, no senior military officer had ever discussed this with them, let alone taught them so earnestly.

Only Akinayama Hachiman hid his scrutinizing gaze behind his glasses. His intuition told him that Yu Lian should be recovering again.

In addition, not everyone is happy with today’s small classrooms.

For example, when having a small meeting with his friends from the youth club after class, Simon Vayali expressed some doubts about this matter: "I really didn't expect that our victory in this battle would It also involves the innovation of land warfare theory. But, just bring it out and discuss it with everyone..."

Ina said: "I'm thinking, sir, he should be preparing to organize the process of this battle into a more complete and reasonable theory through teaching, and then he can complete a new masterpiece."

Yu Lian thought to himself, you girl really reminded me. After all, I am also a top student who graduated from the Department of Strategic Studies, and since I want to create a persona of a contemporary famous general and military strategist, it is reasonable for me to write a lot of books.

"But, in this case, won't your new military ideas be learned by the Empire and Alliance? I heard that the Astral Knights are already studying your four-image tactics." Simon said .

Can you please not mention the name "Four Symbols"? At this point in middle school, it already sounds like a public execution.

Yu Liandao: "It is impossible to keep tactics secret. However, the tactics that are easiest to leak, the wider they involve all aspects, the more difficult they are to copy. An army with a glorious tradition and history, the greater the power of tradition, and the less powerful it is. It’s easy to change. By the time they really want to make up their mind, they must have paid a huge price.”

Seeing that Simon was hesitant to speak, he added: "What's more, those things I mentioned during class were just one aspect."

He looked at Hachiman and poured a glass of red wine for him with his own hands: "The reason why you can win so beautifully is because your work has been very successful."

Hachiman probably didn't expect that Yu Lian would praise him on the spot, so he turned his face unnaturally and stretched out his hand to push his eyes.

"Remember the last Tulong incident. Hessen alone raised a million troops at Xinyumen. What about a much more powerful snake head? Their purpose is not to subvert the community's governance here, but this It’s also not a fact that we have to consider, it’s just for that relic, but the more it is like this, the more terrifying it is.”

Those present were all core friends of the club, but Yu Lian did not hide the existence of the "Snake of the World" from them.

"That guy stayed in Xinyumen for a few months and developed hundreds of 'downlines', each of which was equivalent to a spiritual polluter. As a result, those bandits in the south of Kililuo Mountain who could only eat scavengers became They descended on the high ground one after another and gathered a rebel army that dared to show their teeth to the regular army. However, all of this is counter-intuitive based on mysticism."

It is true that a bandit-type army actually grows stronger with more people, but after these hundreds of thousands of ragtag troops formed an army, not only did they not collapse, but they were able to divide the troops into several groups and advance together. Judging from the level of civilization of the sand people, this can be regarded as a difficult military operation that is almost impossible to occur.

However, this impossible situation did happen.

However, we later learned that all this was a stage set by the "great dramatist". Once the occult is involved, all unreasonable situations become reasonable.

Yu Lian asked again: "But the question is, why didn't the same thing happen in Shanbei? If we talk about the hundreds of thousands of militia groups we have gathered around Tulong, and the more than one million people who are mining and building roads, What will happen to the situation of the war if the workers of the Sand people defect at the moment of battle?"

Many people were frightened to death by this scene, but Simon couldn't help but look at the expressionless Akinayama Hachiman.

The latter pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "So, I have always maintained at least one regiment of marines, three regiments of guard troops, and all robot troops around Tulong City. Even if the worst happens, , it can also guarantee that Tulong will not be lost, insist on what you arrived at."

Oh, it turns out I am the general reserve team!

"Yes, but in this case, there will be no such glorious victory. Of course, the construction achievements of the past few years will be lost, and the casualties of ordinary civilians will reach at least six figures."

Qiu Mingshan Hachiman nodded and said nothing.

Yu Lian continued: "The reason why the sand people in Shannan participated in this war is because they are die-hards who oppose the community. They would rather go to the highlands to chew sand and become bandits than go home to farm. Spiritual induction will amplify their hearts. All the dark emotions made their hatred outweigh their fear. So they fell into hysterical irrational fanaticism and joined the rebels."

Everyone thought of the sand people soldiers they encountered during the battle. At least in the first few hours of the battle, they were indeed surprisingly brave, and were by no means inferior to the trolls fighting alongside them.

And then, it is probably because the more intense the consumption, the bigger it becomes and the less lasting it is. How brave the sand people are at the beginning of the war, they will be so brave in the middle and late stages. Many soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit could no longer even run away. They just squatted on the ground and waited shivering with their heads in their hands, as if all their morale and physical energy had been exhausted in advance.

It has to be said that even if it is influenced by occultism, everyone still needs to pay attention to the conservation of forces!

"The laborers and militiamen in the wilderness to the north of the mountain have seen changes in their lives. Light rails are being laid from Tulong across the mountains to the deserts and plateaus in the south, and mines, steel plants and machinery factories are being built. , absorbing a large amount of labor. The remuneration received by all sand workers is much higher than when they worked as thugs for the lords. There are also free schools for children and night schools for workers. Ninety-nine percent of The sand people never dreamed of living such a life. Therefore, the hope and expectation for the future have overcome the fear and hatred of the past, and the resistance to mental erosion is naturally much stronger. Even a small number of people are successfully tempted. Yes, it’s no longer a climate.”

Only then did everyone suddenly realize. The friends who had previously participated in the construction of New Yumen were all glowing with glory, with a sense of accomplishment on their faces.

"You see, using the simplest and most conventional means can also fight against the most mysterious and unpredictable extraordinary means. Isn't this more burning than using spiritual energy to fight against spiritual energy? Is it technically measured? More fulfilling? And more interesting? Isn’t this the direction we are working towards?” Yu Lian looked at Hachiman and sighed quietly:

"To be honest, I have always wanted to play such a role. But I still became a psyker, and I am used to rushing forward with brute force. Hey, I am already in the shape of a psyker. It's really There’s no way back.”

The corner of Akinayama Hachiman's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that the first half of your sentence was still human and the second half of the sentence was completely unworthy of being a son of a man. Although he didn't know what Versailles was, he still wanted to shoot the other person in the face. If he hadn't been sure that he couldn't beat him, he might have done this.

He pushed up his glasses again and asked expressionlessly: "Although this is the truth. But, Davarixi Yulian, what he wants is more than that, right?"

"How do you say this?" Yu Lian blinked his big innocent eyes.

"I always feel that if the content of your class today is really leaked, you will be happier. I always feel that you are planning to trick someone." He looked directly at Yu Lian with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh, my dear Davarixi Qiu Mingshan, this is a typical example of a villain's heart judging a gentleman's heart. You should read the story of Dongpo Layman and Master Foyin for two more hours." Yu Liandao : "We have indeed achieved a brilliant victory by relying on the defensive counterattack of elastic defense. Therefore, my next book will be called "The Theory of Defense Omnipotence". Oh, by the way, you are actually the one commanding this battle. , so let’s jointly sign it.”

Akinayama Hachiman stopped talking. To be honest, he is also very interested in the entire tome of military works that will leave a name in history.

What Yu Lian didn't know was that his officer training course had only been open for less than ten days, and the imperial army closest to New Jade Gate had already received the news. Of course, I also received the detailed story of the New Yumen Battle.

Of course, Yu Lian wouldn't be surprised if he found out. After all, although the empire's intelligence department does things in a rough way, its combat effectiveness is still quite strong.

Fortunately, the empire did not possess the source wave communication equipment that could still be used in the New World. Otherwise, with their intelligence capabilities, all the courseware would have been sent to Tianyu just after Yu Lian finished class.

Now, this fleet composed of the empire's "allies" is stationed in the "high seas" only two jumps away from the community's colonial border. It has been stationed for more than two weeks.

They are all composed of medium-sized high-speed warships. If they march urgently, they can reach New Lushun in two days at most, and they can reach New Yumen within a week. However, in the past half month, nothing has been done except to continue to dispatch reconnaissance troops in the direction where the predators disappeared.

According to the empire's intelligence, Lan Jiufeng only stayed in New Lushun for one day and then left. But Duke Sadhu here seemed to have lost interest in invading the community. He just ordered the entire fleet to be repaired and on standby, and he did nothing for two weeks.

The soldiers were bored, and so was Duke Sadolan, so the latest battle report from the New Jade Gate was a rare novelty during this period.

"Oh, more than 10,000 plunderers, hundreds of thousands of indigenous rebels, and nearly 200,000 troops, all finished in less than ten hours." Duke Sadolan looked at the battle report and sneered: "That's 200,000 pigs , Earthlings can’t catch it all in ten hours, right?”

Next to him, Yeager Soback was also watching the battle report carefully. He has now become the official disciple of Duke Sartolan, enjoying the same treatment as the genius child Shameen, and is already serving as the Duke's adjutant in the army with the same outstanding performance.

He held the battle report in his hand and read it for nearly ten minutes before he said quietly: "The fighting spirit of the indigenous rebels and plunderers is a bit abnormal..."

"It's just mental interference." As one of the most powerful psykers in the universe, the Duke could figure out most of the truth without even thinking: "There are many things that high-ranking psykers can do, and I can do it now. I can think of seven or eight ways."

"A high-ranking psyker?"

"Didn't the battle report say that Yu Lian blocked the center of Tulong City? I guess he also found a clue. Indeed, to deal with such a spiritual master who can transfer souls, we must use the crudest physical means to isolate his escape possibility." Duke Sadolan said.

"But why is such a powerful psyker in the New Jade Gate?"

"Oh, you don't know about the existence of those poisonous snakes, right?"

The Duke looked at his disciple with admiration. This disciple's psychic talent is not high, but his advantage is that he likes to think very much and is very good at thinking. Such people are usually smart people, and in the general environment of the empire, smart people are often the staunchest royalists, and they must also behave like virtuous ministers.

So, the old Duke told the existence, history, some reading rumors, and the grievances he had with the empire in the past few years of the World Serpent, and then said: "This is a group of extremely evil terrorists whose history has been It’s been a long time. In countless historical events in the past, their role in fanning the flames is indispensable, so it makes sense to collude with the plunderers.”

In fact, the imperial intelligence department has already had speculations in this regard. The judges even believed that the death of King Slein should have been personally assassinated by Krait's top brass.

It was indeed the first time for Soback, who was born into a low-income noble family, to hear such a secret. He suddenly felt horrified, as if an invisible poisonous snake was spitting out apricots and staring at the back of his neck.

The Duke glanced at the other party calmly: "This sneaky method of hiding one's head and tail is indeed the style of a poisonous snake. Don't tell me, Yeager, I have just said that to achieve such an effect, I myself I can think of seven or eight ways, but you know, why don’t we use them?”

Yeager said quickly: "Please teach me, teacher."

"The thing about a soldier is the most unfaithful and the most unforgiving thing. Find a high-ranking psychic to brainwash hundreds of thousands of people, and it will only take half a day at most. At that time, all that is left is A bunch of trash who can't even escape. Instead of doing this, why not train hundreds of thousands of soldiers into an iron army that dares to fight and die? Remember, Yeager, this is the direction in which people like us think about problems. .”

Yeager Soback felt that this was a wise saying and quickly expressed his gratitude to the teacher. However, he did feel that with the severity of the empire's military laws, it was really possible to train the cannon fodder of the servant army into crazy death squads. Given the size of the empire, a high-ranking psyker was still a very valuable strategic resource, but hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder could not even be reported to the Privy Council even if the entire army was wiped out.

So, it all boils down to cost.
