Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

Astartes (frowning): "Tell me, what clan is it? Bad Moon, Blood Ax or Snakebite clan?"

Kelsey breathed a sigh of relief: "No."

Astartes: "You don't admire Brother Go and Brother Mao?"

Kelsey: "What is that?"

Astartes: "No weird old junk? No wandering around the universe with a battle moon?"

Kelsey: "That's really not true. We're still trapped on this land. Most people think the starry sky is fake."

Kelsey: "Forget it, the time is coming soon, let you meet the real people, among them are the operators from the Sargon tribe, open the hatch..."

Astarte: "You still say no? Isn't this a green leather thing?!"

The anaconda was waiting outside the cabin with a violent iron sheet: "?"

Kelsey: "This is Kasimir's Yao Knight, come to the light."

Astartes: "It's a good thing it's not the troublesome green knight cousins ​​of the First Legion."

Kelsey: "The Agors of the ocean race, technocrats, war designers, and deep-sea hunters Gloria."

Astarte: "Sharp ears...the elves here live in the sea? I don't know if Daddy likes water elves."

Kelsey: "Gavial, the mad doctor from the Sargon Rainforest Tribe."

Astartes: "Well, it sure doesn't look like an Orc..."

Kelsey: "Miss Xingji, an astrologer and magician."

Astartes: "...The Emperor, this color scheme, this race, this profession, is it possible that Tzeentch is related to the Thousand Sons?"

**

Kelsey: "Tell me about yourself."

Astartes: "Me? I've been killing bugs for 30 years before coming here."

Kelsey: "What kind of bug... are you talking about?"

Astartes: "A bug is a bug, what can it be?"

Kelsey: "No, that's not what I meant."

Kelsey turned on the projector, which projected a three-dimensional image of a butterfly.

Kelsey: "I don't think a warrior with extraordinary skills like you would use it to deal with... this kind of bug."

Astartes: "Oh no, of course not. The kind of bug I kill... is certainly much bigger than this."

Kelsey: "And an extremely huge number?"

Astartes: "Yes."

Gladia: "Please forgive my presumption...is it controlled by one or several supreme masters?"

Astartes: "Exactly."

Gloria: "Are those sticky, disgusting things spread everywhere?"

Astarte: "How do you know... well, needless to say... hello? Hello, please change the extermination order you just applied for from light spear bombing to extinct biological virus. Not only may there be orcs here , and there must be Tyranids.”

**

Astartes: "Out of the kindness of my heart, I would like to ask a few questions."

Kelsey: "Please tell me."

Astartes: "Is there anything similar to the Ursus inner guards you just mentioned?"

Kelsey: "Ah, of course there are similar examples. For example, the giant beast of Great Flame. There used to be a giant beast that parasitized on this land..."

Astartes: "Hiss..."

Kelsey: "Absorbing nutrients from this land..."

Astartes: "Please wait."

Astarte (neural signal transmission): "Damn, an existence at the level of the Star God! Hey? Immediately change the extermination order I applied for from the biological virus to the cyclone torpedo, hurry up! Otherwise, it will be too late!"

Kelsey: "Later, it was smashed into pieces by Yan Kingdom's army. The pieces were strictly monitored, and some of them were even on our ship..."

Astartes: "?"

Astarte: "Hello? Dad, it's me, Cato Sicarius. Oh, it's okay, I'm on vacation, I called you to ask you, do we want a whole new conscription world? "

PS: So a whole new one will be added for the new year

Chapter 22 Beat the Drums of War 2

When Comand and the cross-travelers have studied "special source intelligence" countless times as avatar scientists, and even participated in the strategic decision-making of the 113th Division of the Extraterrestrial Corps as a "special advisory group", they flipped through the text over and over again, and studied it against Lihua every detail.And quickly reached a partial consensus on these "intelligence from high dimensions", for example——

"This shit can study a hammer!"

There are simply not enough figures or concrete descriptions, and there are riddles and literary embellishments everywhere.It certainly cannot be based on this.

Someone resisting the partial collapse of a two-story building is really awesome, but it can't be equated with the power to resist the building; someone's Originium skill glows like "Casimir's second sun" when it is running, I'm afraid it's not her The output power of her is equal to that of a star; someone who "severes the morning and night" with a sword cannot be used to prove that her "Origin Stone Skill!" has the ability to distort space.

If this statement is true, "the air is shaking, as if the sky is burning" should be equivalent to the Yugoslav guerrillas who resisted the Nazis in World War II trying to use atmospheric stripping bombs to destroy the earth's atmosphere...

But one thing is certain: the integration movement in the plot is a loose alliance of warlords.

In order to prevent the armed forces of the "new" integration movement from becoming such a ridiculous thing, Command took great pains:

The "Shield of the Infected" guerrilla, which was originally the largest mountain, was split up.It became the "Shield Guard" heavy assault infantry company and the "Yeti" special operations battalion.The shield guards and snow monsters were transferred to leave a considerable part of the elite personnel, and went to the newly-built infantry regiment to serve as grass-roots officers and sergeants, and added a large number of new recruits - there is no need to hide it, this is weakened by mixing sand;

At the same time, the shield guards and the snow monsters combined had less than 400 people, but they were two regiment-level administrative units.The supplementary recruits they get are all the top recruits in the first round of recruitment in the integration movement; when the ordinary infantry only has an automatic rifle, the snow monster has already popularized individual communication, sighting equipment, explosives, body armor, exoskeleton and special warfare weapons , and the Shield Guard became the only unit equipped with power armor in the fully integrated movement.

A massive field force built from scratch is a different story.

After the line is decided, the most important thing is the question of cadres.In a country similar to Ursus, a revolutionary group dominated by intellectuals has won the support of some old army officers; but the military cadres of the integration movement are different from this approach. They select members of their own organization to receive military education , and at the same time trained defected workers, peasants and intellectuals as military officers in their own base areas.

With the strong support from instructors to weapons and equipment of the 113th Division of the Extraterrestrial Corps, the integration movement now has an armed force including five infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment, which is second to none in the entire northwest tundra. A group army must brace up to deal with them seriously.

As the main force of instructors, the cross-travelers also naturally promoted the "Military and Political Dual Chiefs Division of Responsibility System under the leadership of the Executive Committee of the Integration Movement" in the Units of the Unity Movement, ensuring that these units have members of the Unity Movement in the mid-squad and sports teams in the platoon. , the company has a sports branch, and the battalion and above units have an executive committee...

Of course, it's man-made.The northern plains farmers, infected slave laborers, and some homeless people who have achieved political recovery and improved their lives have simple and enthusiastic support for the integration movement and the integrationist regime, but this does not mean that they are already an unshakable iron army.

After all, the Ursus Empire is a powerful country that used the dividends of war to create a flourishing age.Even those who are dissatisfied or even hate the Ursus Empire are deeply impressed and even deeply afraid of its comprehensive national strength and military strength.While the people of Ursus live in hardship, they still have an "orthodox" view of the empire.This situation has deep and complex political, economic and cultural factors.

To use a country closely related to Ursus, the world view of the lower class people in Tsarist Russia is closely linked to the Tsar. The Tsar was endowed with the characteristics of a god and was their "father", so the Russian peasants seemed destined to They bear the tragic fate of the entire nation, but at the same time, they always have an inseparable "Electra complex" towards the tsarist rulers who caused this tragic fate.

The situation in the Ursus Empire is very similar-of course it will be similar.Although the people in the northwest tundra are all staunch opponents of the Ursus Empire, "the emperor is above" is still their modal particle and catchphrase.

Fear of the Ursus Empire and the Emperor; even "this integration movement is good, but it's still a bandit after all", the idea of ​​​​regarding the imperial regime as orthodox, is still prevalent in the integration movement's control area, and even its organization itself.As the atmosphere quietly began to become tense, some recruits obviously experienced great emotional ups and downs.Army cadres must not only do ideological work, but also ensure that there are no deserters.Boosting morale has become the main job of grassroots company cadres.

For society, such a situation requires a long and complex process of change.The military is in a special situation and it will be much easier to unify our thoughts.

现在，步兵第四团九连政治指导员祖巴乔夫正站在自己的办公室里，听着旁边温和但有力的女声一字一句地朗读着：“有过逃荒乞讨经历的201人；挨过饿的212人；父母有一方或者双方都故去的142人；有兄弟姐妹故去的168人；曾经卖身为奴的44人；卖过妻子儿女弟妹的63人；被鸡*奸过的29人……”

After a moment of hesitation, Tallulah whispered the last number: "10 people who have eaten human flesh."

Comand silently put down the investigation report of the officers and soldiers of this company: There are only 210 people in this company.

He said to the instructor, who he himself rescued from the Ursas mine, "Good job. Do you think there is anything worth mentioning?"

"No more." Zubachev stood up straight as a gun barrel, seemed a little nervous, and seemed to be a little confused, "If I have to say it, the army is still short of cadres and veterans. Every squad has been designated." The object of help' is to let the veterans mark each other to avoid deserters. But the result is that the veterans cannot be marked."

"It can't be helped. When we officially started our business, there were just over a thousand people." Comand smiled wryly at his veteran soldier, "Minzheng also needs people!"

The cadres and veterans of the new regiments of the Armed Forces of the Reintegration Movement all came from the thousands of poor peasants, miners, and guerrillas that Comand gathered at the beginning. The proportion of recruits in the company is still too high.Moreover, this batch of recruits who made the reunification movement realize the large-scale expansion of the army was the first batch of conscripts recruited after the establishment of the regional regime and the implementation of the compulsory military service system, and their ideological status was quite complicated.

What's more, it has only been a little over a year since the integration movement was formally established with thousands of people and several regiments today. Are those cadres and veterans both professional and politically competent, and can play a vanguard and exemplary role?It's really hard to say.

Now most of the troops have slowed down their training, and the main time is to hold meetings, and the mobilization meetings at various levels will be held in turn.Zubachev himself was a student in Comand's political work class. He had learned a lot of theories and skills, and he was full of new words, and he was very good at encouraging.

The propaganda materials issued by the propaganda department are full of famine, plague, excessive extortion, rampant bandits, the brutality of landlords and serf owners, the tragic experience of those infected with Originium Disease, and so on.But these things mean nothing to grassroots officers and soldiers—they have more or less heard or even experienced it with their own ears.In contrast, it is more important for the propaganda working group of the 113th Division to support and organize the soldiers to remember their suffering.

The effect of real people telling is more vivid and touching than dry text materials.

Not far away, in the company activity room where faint cries sounded, two soldiers walked out with a comrade in arms.Zubachev said to the two chiefs who looked back: "It is not uncommon to faint from crying. Comrade General Political Commissar, Comrade Chief, most of the soldiers here have struggled with life and death. Who has not Similar experience…”

As Zubachev spoke, he found that his vision was also blurred.Comand patted the shoulder of the company instructor who was busy turning around to wipe away tears, and sighed.

The dignity of a soldier prevented him from crying, but the cruel life forced him to cry.The stubborn instructor did not make any sound, but opened his eyes angrily, closed his mouth tightly, gritted his teeth, and tears flowed down his cheeks.

For the soldiers and civilians of the reunification movement, the peaceful days after the reunification movement buried terrible memories of the past.And now political mobilization will awaken these terrible memories from the depths of the soldiers' minds, turning them into incomparable anger, arousing high morale, and often even making their nerves unbearable for huge emotional fluctuations.

"Scared?" Comand said to Zubachev.

So the instructor comrade, whose face was still wet with tears, raised his head, even a little offended and angry: "Don't be afraid!"

"Then can you guarantee that all companies are not afraid?"

The instructor froze.Comrade General Political Commissar showed a understanding smile and nodded to the company instructor: "Don't worry, you have not neglected your duties, but you have done a good job."

The two of them turned and walked out of the office, walked out of the dormitory area consisting of quickly constructed dormitories, and walked on the regiment's playground.

The two wore army green coats that were no different from ordinary soldiers, and inside were the same training uniforms as the others. They walked in a row according to the camp regulations. At first glance, it was completely impossible to tell that they were the theoretical supreme leaders.

"The morale is not bad." Tallulah stopped writing and put her notebook back in her pocket. "Anyway, no one wants to return to the rule of the Ursus Empire."

"It's not enough just like this." Comand shook his head. "For ordinary soldiers, the wind they hear is that they are going to fight against the empire for real! This is different from fighting bandits and pickets. The psychological pressure of fighting against the imperial army, It's a joke to us, but very different to the masses.

"They were subjects of the Ursas Empire at most a year and a half ago, and they were repeatedly told how powerful the empire was since they were young. Now they are rebels waiting to be surrounded by the emperor's army. This kind of mental state is definitely not a good thing, Ursus The prestige and orthodoxy accumulated by the Sass Empire with its history and military exploits is not just for fun! The new recruits are not the old guerrillas who used to step on the snow with rusty knives and fight against the pickets, nor can they compare with those who fought against the pickets before the official establishment Just follow us to the poor peasants, slave laborers and infected people of the empire. Boost their morale... um..."

Comand fell into thinking again, and everyone around him had learned long ago not to disturb his thinking.Tallulah watched him quietly from the side, not letting go of every movement of his facial muscles.

Comand's gaze and expression were calm, only the deep wrinkles on his forehead showed that he was thinking nervously.For the first time, Tallulah discovered so many details on Comand's face, and found that the pressure he was carrying was not as insignificant as it seemed to him: tired eye circles, bloodshot eyes, long-term freezing The unavoidable chilblain in the original activities...

"There are many ways to boost morale, and there are many ways. Now I think of a problem, which is to create a sense of collective honor. For example, in the areas controlled by the integration movement, the word 'integration movement' not only represents the party, but also represents the government, and also represents Army. What do you think? Huh?"

Command looked to Tallula in confusion, and she was staring at him in rapt attention: "What do you think?"

Tallulah shook her head slightly, and coughed twice unnaturally: "Ahem, uh, to be honest, I don't really want to change the name 'Integration Movement', after all, I have my own ideas in it."

"Of course the party organization is still called the integration movement, but the government and the army must have their own official names. Especially the names and flags of the armed forces." Comand seemed unaware of Tallulah's strangeness, and explained seriously, "Veterans and The cadres were directly pulled back from the arduous guerrilla warfare and desperate life by us under the name of the "integration movement", and the recruits were generally less enthusiastic about the "integration movement". To the entire armed forces and the regiments Developing names, designations, flags and songs adds to the collective sense of honor."

Tallulah's originally embarrassed expression quickly returned to expressionless.She asked calmly, "Is this all you've been thinking about?"

Comand took it for granted: "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility."

Tallulah clapped her hands grimly: "As a leader, you have indeed done your duty. But it is inappropriate not to pay attention to the small details in life, which are meaningful to your mental health and mine. "
