Out of the cage

June 2623, southern foothills of the Himalayas. The once peaceful hillside has become a cemetery where advanced warships crashed. In addition to the burning fighter planes, there are also aerial vehicles that fell relatively smoothly and did not have time to burn, leaving their noses intact.

A total of 180 warships in the federal fleet were shot down within three hours.

Speaking of this battle, it was a process in which the federal fleet general mistakenly used a long snake formation to open up and was suddenly divided and surrounded.

Wei Keng's fair comment: But in fact, every unit will undergo a process of stretching into a long formation march. But will there be enough reconnaissance force to cover the entire formation process? We must maintain strategic mobilization at all times to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of this time difference.

Therefore, when the federal fleet is deploying in a long snake formation, it must also see the "columns" of the Xinhuo Army making risky advances! However, the Federation failed to cut off the fire "column", but was cut off itself.

Therefore, the cause of victory or defeat is not only attributed to a strategy, but whether sufficient margin conditions are provided for the execution of the strategy.

The Xinhuo Army has made a lot of preparations from tactics to equipment to deal with the invincible fleet that the Federation has blown away in recent years.

For example: In 2611, Xinhuo put large-scale cryogenic helicopter technology on the Suzaku and modified it into the "Shangfu Fighter".

Oh, it’s actually a technical reversal of the Federation’s Poseidon freezing shell technology. Poseidon’s freezing warhead is a shell that uses a warp field to store “absolute zero”. This kind of warhead is not very lethal. It often assists land armored group battles and hinders ground group charges. It is rare to install this kind of weapon in the air, because this kind of weapon is not lethal enough, and it is easy to be locked and killed by flexible fighters in air combat.

The "Shangfu" level cryo fighter jet played a great role in this battle.

The Federation's main fleet was harassed in turn during the battle, and according to the theory that "the speed of the fleet depends on the speed of the slowest battleship", as long as the Xinhuo Army's aerial harassment delayed the slowest battleship among them, the Federation Fleet Corps would not be able to Not slowing down overall.

When the federal commander saw the dark blue ripples exploding in the sky when encountering a harassment attack, and the warship that had completely slowed down and could only rely on a force field to remain suspended, he had to make a choice, that is, to give up the warship and continue to maintain speed and maneuver. Or sacrifice fleet speed to keep the corps intact.

In the end, all the squadron commanders in the long snake formation chose to "dilly-dally".

The reason is also very simple. "Giving up" requires determination, and making the determination to "give up" in war requires a decisive leader who provides a very clear battle plan!

For example, when Xiang Yu made a major decision such as "burning the cauldron and sinking the boat", he had a clear battle plan to attack the Qin army, and he took the lead and prepared to fight until the last moment, instead of failing the battle like other generals at that time and escaping under the protection of his personal guards. . Therefore, under his order, the attack was like falling rocks from a high mountain, and the entire army did not hesitate during the action.

However, the current high-level command system of the Federation's fleet does not have a king like Xiang Yu. The civilian class of the Federal Ministry of Defense wanted merit, not stain, so they set a general order to "push northward" in this battle.

The success of this push-back process is the result of the "up to the peak", while the commander of the squadron below must bear full responsibility for the loss of a battleship, and may even end his military career.

Moreover, as a synonym for the Federation's "invincibility", each fleet is composed of nobles with mixed seniority.

Under such concerns, all squadrons of the Star Sea Federation encountered tactical harassment after advancing. Without exception, they were forced to slow down as a whole.

A ship-borne radar officer in the Federal fleet described this in his post-war memoirs: I saw with my own eyes that everyone was stagnant, but they were as if they were stuck in a quagmire in their sleep, unable to move.

On the roof of the world, when multiple columns of the Fire Army boldly interspersed, those federal military experts who reviewed the situation afterwards lamented that the Federal Army missed the most important ambush window.

Next, the glory battleships were shot down in the air one after another, and the Sethus bomber was destroyed. (content of the previous chapter)

... Looking back now, when the fleet fell, for the Federation, it was equivalent to the loss of the king's division in the Western Zhou Dynasty...

In the early morning of June 6th, Xinhuo was already carrying out aerial cleanup work.

Xinhuo discovered that the federal squadron had returned to Guangfu (Zhang Tianci's side) during this battle.

The commander of the plateau, General Yang Wanwan, pointed his hand at the remaining federal fleet in the encirclement circle on the map: "We must move Cangtian (the code name for the Star Sea Federation's fleet) within seven hours from 4 a.m. to 11 a.m. The 2nd and 3rd Squadrons, a total of thirteen battleships, will be eaten. This will declare the Federation’s complete defeat in the Eastern Hemisphere!”

On June 8, as the incident of the Federation fleet crashing in the mountains and "polluting the local environment" spread on the Internet, the fiasco that had always been covered up by plain propaganda could no longer be stopped.

The humiliating defeat shocked the Federation. The online media was full of voices saying “what to do” and “it’s over” that morning.

In the late days of the old forces, the entire country was spent on building super weapons. The more powerful they were in the propaganda, the greater the psychological shock they caused when they were destroyed.

For example, the Beiyang Ten Towns in the late Qing Dynasty, the Japanese Emperor's Yamato, and America's Ford-class in the Three Wars in modern times.

These are all "national pillars". National pillars will only appear in crumbling forces, and new forces will not leave their feet to gain their "foundation".

The foundation of the Star Sea Federation is a large number of citizens. If the federation wants to strengthen its foundation, it must open up channels for upper-level promotion and transfer development dividends in the construction of public facilities such as education and medical care. But over the years, the oligarchs of the Star Sea Federation have quietly scraped away this foundation while fighting for power. Only a few pillars of the country such as "military" and "finance" are left.

Moreover, since the Agent Rebellion, the middle class that the Federation had previously been able to control now felt that they were being persecuted and began to protest. However, in the panic, the federal civil servants did not dare to show mercy at this time and carried out brutal suppression.

You must know that Silicon Heart Society is now able to recruit experienced federal technicians and engineers.

At this time, federal public opinion is becoming more and more hysterical, because when sensible people are scared away by idiots and lunatics, what is left ferments into a cesspit...

“What is a middle-class mentality?”

Wei Keng: No one understands the middle-class mentality better than me. This is a mentality of "wanting to distinguish from those at the bottom who have not worked hard, but at the same time not wanting the upper management to suppress channels for their own efforts."

Since the Guantianshe rebellion was backward-compatible at the beginning and did not differentiate among the lower classes considered by the middle class, such as loan-evading youths, it did not win the support of the middle class at that time.

But now, these people who claim to be well-educated cannot hold back their dignity by investing in the Guantianshe stock that they had previously misjudged. Of course, they don’t want to be narcotized in federal consumer entertainment and become fools who are happy to death.

Therefore, the federal middle class is a group of working class whose "class identity" is extremely sensitive. In fact, we are living in a mental trap and cannot get out! Just like in martial arts novels, some people in the world are restricted by the title of "Martial Arts Supreme".

In the minds of the middle class, the biggest fear is class decline. Therefore, I don’t want to join the Guantian Society now because I am afraid that I will be in a lower class than those who joined before in terms of seniority.

Wei Tucao Keng said: "If Guantian Society lets them jump in line, they will definitely merge happily, for example, they will implement preferential treatment policies for returning overseas scholars, but I just don't do this."

Nowadays, these people are faced with multiple-choice questions where there is a depression on the left and a cliff on the right, and they are in urgent need of an intermediate option.

The "Silicon Heart Society" provides just such an intermediate option, which relieves those who are unwilling to mix with the vast number of lower-class people, and at the same time are unwilling to follow the stupid meat-eaters.

This kind of mentality is very controlled by Wei Keng.

Wei Keng: If the dignitaries of the Star Sea Federation are the lords, the Guantian Society is the people who stand up in the hall, and the people who are attracted by the Silicon Heart Society are the village elders who read notices to the people at the city gate, and the middle class of the Federation are the people who stand up in the hall. The master in front of the master - the middle-class elite: The position of master is our beloved one, and we cannot let it be snatched away by the lower class, nor can it be squeezed out by the housekeeper installed by Mr. Huang.

…

After June 2623, with the defeat of the Star Sea Federation in the south, the Silicon Heart Society conducted a military operation on the Caucasus lands. This operation caused the Silicon Heart Society and the imperial army in North Asia to fight a thousand-man battle. conflict.

Because the empire originally put pressure on Guantianshe in the strategic direction of North Asia, but Guantianshe made preparations a year ago, which made the empire feel uncertain when calculating the cost of the war, so the empire has already There was no large-scale preparation for the use of troops.

But now in this conflict, Yu Cheng led the team to swallow up this small army of the empire. Under Poseidon's cold light cannonballs, the entire Imperial tank formation and Imperial vanguard soldiers were all reduced to scrap metal under the charging blades of the Prism Chariot and Blade.

As the empire retreated on the permafrost, blade mechas corroded by flame warheads and the corpses of more imperial soldiers formed a tragic corridor.

The scale of this war was very small, but the empire chose to retreat in terms of overall strategy.

In this way, Silicon Heart Society used such a small war and took advantage of Guantian Society's victory in the south and the "possible counterattack to the north" to complete a great victory over the imperial intervention forces who "did not want to speculate".

Moreover, in this war, Silicon Heart Society proved to the world that it has more than 70,000 tons of combat machinery under its command and has become a regional force that cannot be ignored in the Caucasus.

Wen San has raised the value of the silicon heart community area with minimal cost.

Public opinion in the Star Sea Federation gradually began to talk about the positive role of the Silicon Heart Society, and at the same time began to hold federal forces accountable. This also allows the "middle class" in the East Asia coastline area to find a "liangshan" to go to after the big bankruptcy.

…

The perspective came to the crumbling upper echelons of the Federation. On June 7, two of the four major fleets in eastern Asia had been destroyed in World War I. The president of the Star Sea Federation and the military staff spent 60% of their energy discussing and arguing about "so-and-so" Who is responsible for the loss of the ship? (Shift the blame). The remaining four layers of energy are used to promote some young and promising people who were once suppressed by them in the "Knowing Eyes" (self-proclaimed "Knowing Eyes").

The president met with some young officers in the reception hall, deeply absorbed (stylized and perfunctory) the opinions of these young officers, and then made the appointment. (Leave the hard work to them)

The "people-telling" technique of aristocratic families has been passed down orally from generation to generation. Therefore, in order to adapt to this "people-telling" technique in various situations, the middle class has also derived a series of response formulas.

For example, newly promoted young men will dress very appropriately when meeting upper-class people. Even these expensive party clothes are usually kept in their wardrobes and are not often worn. They are very reserved in words and actions, but when talking about plans they are very excited and eager to be recognized.

In this way, in the eyes of these high-level big shots: if they are willing to be so attentive when seeing themselves, they will definitely be able to work hard on things when doing things.

Narrator: This kind of fortune-telling is not suitable for Mr. Wei.

When the lying people saw the pretentious managers, they had no interest in working hard. But when it comes to rebelling for their own interests, the middle-aged people will burst out their subjective initiative beyond the expectations of the masters.

At present, these "talents" who have been selected by the federal big shots in private meetings have entered the highest military center of the federation.

These talents quickly brought the "rush for quick success" into the federal military policy.

Wei Keng: In many aspects such as technology accumulation and military management, don’t expect geniuses to make an immediate impact and turn the tide in the short term. Of course, they (Star Sea Federation or Haoshuo) are already in the final stage, and "messing up" is the norm.

Now I want to mention the current battle situation. After the decisive battle between the fleets, the Xinhuo Army launched a powerful offensive on the southwest ground. This was to conduct a major land detour from the south and outflank the Star Sea Federation's stronghold in the Pacific region.

Overnight, four ground armies and three sea battleship formations were formed in the direction of the entire Burma River and the Nanhai Sea for a decisive battle.

On June 3, the Himalayas Flotilla Fleet approached the war zone. On June 6, the air power authority was defeated. On the 8th, an encirclement across the Lancang River was formed during the land battle. This strategic pace is too fast for the federal bureaucrats who are still debating who is responsible for the "fleet loss".

The federal government was still deploying the defenses of the Tianzhu subcontinent to cope with the collapse of financial market confidence in the defeat of the war." On the other hand, it discovered that in reality, artillery fire was already approaching the city where it lived.

In the southern subcontinent, people in wealthy areas can see the cloud traces of missiles streaking across the sky when they look up. ,

Wei Keng, an ordinary person (with a bearded look) who was undercover in the area, took off the turban wrapped around his head, raised his head and said lightly to the sky: We are here.

…

Xinhuo's staff officer was trained by Wei Keng, so when he entered the war, his muscles were naturally tense.

Scouts, main battle corps, and logistics coordinate with each other. Air penetration and ground assault are all linked under a single command system.

Looking back at the Federation's million-strong army, ever since the "National Pillar" fleet that the Star Sea Federation relied on fell, the military system has been completely in chaos.

…Military corruption is often subtle…

On June 10, Yang Wanwan determined that his regiment had teleported to the planned attack position through time and space. Iron Buddha tanks began to run over the subcontinental roads. Some King Cobras that raised their heads towards the tracks were mercilessly crushed into real giant snakes. Flat head.

Thirty percent of the Federation's Poseidon Ice Tanks in the area only have three reserve warheads, and fifty percent of the Prism Tanks' intelligence cannot automatically track the enemy because its good smart chips have been sold and smuggled.

So it's not that the top leaders of the Federation don't have "new thinking", but that when the Federation focuses on "new concepts" (fleet), all other old systems are quickly corrupted.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Huai Army was completely unable to fight. It was after the establishment of Beiyang that because the elites were transferred and the management was also transferred, the "smoking" that was originally strictly controlled began to deteriorate, and it was completely "undertrained".

The Star Sea Federation's investment in a "more advanced" floating fleet strike system has caused collapse in many departments, including ground combat forces. A large number of military corruption cases that have been reported in the past few years are the result of the "strict crackdown" after the "Fleet Faction" came to power. On the one hand, the atmosphere is such, and on the other hand, the Fleet Faction has no intention to really solve the atmosphere, but only cracks down on other factions. ——Just like the 21st century European and American human rights critics criticizing corruption in the third world, they just maintain a sense of superiority. As for how to solve the problem, they shrug gracefully: "That's your problem. I am only responsible for criticizing with good intentions." ".

In just three years, the land warfare force of the subcontinent was not only short of armaments, but also completely reduced to the "Great Song Dynasty" ideologically. The corruption of military equipment in these few years could only be 100%. Twenty or thirty, but if you are lazy mentally, you can send off the remaining 60 to 70% of the troops in one afternoon.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on June 4, the Xinhuo Group defeated the White Tiger Brigade and the Victory Brigade of the federal troops on the ground front, causing a chain reaction on the battlefield, causing the remaining federal troops to retreat.

The Star Sea Federation dropped all its heavy equipment when it retreated.

Wei Keng recorded as a bystander: If the federal regiments on the Burma River had not lost their heavy equipment, the Xinhuo Army would not have dared to formulate such a bold siege, because if the huge number of armor and artillery were really used, according to Wei Keng's predictions, the enemy would Judging from Yan's "serious" situation, it would be very difficult for Xinhuo's light armored vanguard to attack the Federation's heavily armored regiments if they really surrounded them. One bite may break your teeth.

But the "magic" in the Indian subcontinent opened Wei Keng's eyes. - Wen San: Those curry-flavored instructors in East Asia seem to have a special talent for escaping with the "raise their legs high" military salute.

Troops that have lost their baggage and heavy equipment can be surrounded and annihilated as long as they can catch up.

Xinhuo's headquarters originally thought that the federal regiment was retreating with a "French roller", but after discovering that it was a retreat with an "Indian style", it immediately activated all reserve forces to intercept it.

Ten years later, Tianxin League war historians looked at the history of the war and described Yang Wanwan's strategy of "squeezing the soft eggs", that is, squeezing the soft eggs out of the hard shell (heavy equipment system), and then a spatula suddenly It was taken away in one go.

In the early morning of June 10, 90% of Xinghai's troops had entered a desperate situation. The incoming troops did not have a single Star Shield mecha, and 90% of the light prisms had broken down. The key points had not yet escaped, and were captured by the Southern River Network. Blocked, a large number of people were crowded on several large rivers, relying on a small number of suspended cheetah vehicles to transport them little by little.

At this time, the only people in this group of military bureaucrats who can command operations are three regiments of artificial intelligence mechas.

Yilat, the Tianzhu commander in chief in the area, was originally enjoying the service of Thai women. When he saw the flash collapse situation, he panicked on the spot. He didn't even put on his military uniform. He directly issued an order through the communication to let the carbon Silicon-bound intelligence defies sacrifice.

In the Yangon area, the Southbound Fire Corps encountered somewhat decent resistance. It is worth mentioning that even during this great pursuit, Yang Wanwan placed a large number of scouts in the military zone. There is no local "extreme joy giving rise to sorrow"

The Fire Legion's tiny Beetle drone quickly discovered the "Avengers" omnic corps mobilized by the federal government to block the Yangon area, so during the pursuit, they ordered the forwards to shrink. control

Faced with the re-assembly of the Federation's "Hard Walnut" Blade Mechas and Reapers in the Yangon area, Yang Wanwan mobilized his most elite "Army-breaking Golden Armor", a sword-shaped intelligent battle group.

Ever since, in this scene where the elephants fled and the palm forest collapsed, the war of alloy robots began.

The eighteen-meter-tall Pojun mecha, with its fifteen-meter-long energy blade, swept across a hundred meters, and the charging blade was swept away.

As for the reaper trying to jump and flash from space, to the Guantian Society programmers: the reaper's attack method is like a Japanese samurai dancing with precision. It does not fit the mold of Eastern swordsmanship. What Eastern swordsmanship emphasizes is seeing in all directions and hearing in all directions.

The "Pojun Jinjia" silicon-based core-connected Tianxin test results are perfect for Tianxin candidates.

The flash of the Reaper's jumping cockroach face was predicted in advance in the preview. The vital parts of the armor flashed with nanofields.

The reaper was burned into pieces by the stunning "sword light" (ion beam) in the air. At the moment of the jump, "time and space were like crawling pieces of meat." The metal structure was cut open without mercy. The dark gray "Army-breaking Golden Armor" Peking Opera Zhang He looked ruthlessly at these "clowns" with their painted faces (Note: Guan Erye's red-faced facial makeup was too conspicuous on the battlefield, so the artists in the Xinhuo Army did not paint it like this)

Within fifteen minutes, these more than a thousand intelligent machines were wiped out by twenty-five golden armors that broke the army.

The federal remnant army in Yadong struggled to the death and failed to break free. Instead, they were entangled tighter and tighter in the encirclement net.

When faced with this reality, the federal politicians sitting in front of the coffee table with fruit and wine in Mumbai are still angry, why can't they stand it.

These self-proclaimed smart people are always wondering: Why can the thrown chess pieces be picked up by the spear?

On June 11, after the annihilation battle was completed, groups of low-flying Suzaku and Shangfu fighter jets forced the remnants of the federal army out of the encirclement network from the dilapidated fortifications. In the end, the federal fleet was eliminated from the largest land group in South Asia. .

After the annihilation battle was completed, the Xinhuo Federation troops did not advance into the Indian subcontinent. Instead, they continued to attack the Central Nan subcontinent. The Star Sea Federation defenders and part of the empire's military forces began to sweep away the fallen leaves.

On June 15, the battle to capture the city began, and within ten hours, the Federation retreated.

On June 16, Zhuguang fell, and the Huangtian fleet stationed by the Federation was forced to flee north. However, before they could fly very far, they were blocked by a network of Xinhuo drones. After a fierce battle, they all crashed into the sea. The seawater doused the flames, but it sank in the ocean within minutes.

…

On July 13, the entire Burmese River was cleared. The legion began to move north on a large scale and began to encircle Guangfu. Yes, this battle ultimately helped the Xinghai Federation solve the compulsory problem in the East after the "Qin Emperor and Han Dynasty".

Wei Keng: I have done this many times since time travel, and I am familiar with it.
