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

Only a week after the cooking team came out, the Ursas officers and soldiers who insisted on fleeing for their lives and refused to surrender were almost extinct.But there are still some, such as Lieutenant General Wrangel, Earl of the Ursas Empire.

Chapter 46 Epilogue

Wrangel lost a lot of things during those fifteen long days of escape - for example, he only ate seven meals during these fifteen days, and this big man who originally weighed 86 kilograms starved into a weight of 58 kilograms. Ribs.The headquarters and guards also continued to lose their numbers due to partisan pursuit, hunger, cold, and accidents.It took a full fifteen days, and the commander of the Sixth Army, with only about twenty people left by his side, finally arrived at the planned location of the mobile city of Tsaritsyn.

After so much effort, everyone finally saw Tsaritsyn’s tracks and city walls.For a moment, Wrangel suddenly fantasized about a clean bed, hot food, and the city walls, heavy artillery, and defenders standing between him and the rebels.

In Wrangel's memory, Tsaritsyn was a very standard medium-sized military mobile city.The huge city in the distance is looming in the hazy mist.If it wasn't for the mist, you could see the scenery over there at a glance now - tall city walls, towering turrets, and watchtowers piercing the sky. This is a military mobile city, the largest war machine on Terra, A symbol of strength, an invincible existence, capable of fighting a land fleet with its own firepower.

The sun pierced through the mist, and the commander of the Sixth Army of Ursus saw everything changed.

It is not only the fog that covers the city, but also the billowing smoke from the city... The corpses of the defenders are scattered all over the mobile city, and the fortifications are gone.On the top of the city is a slightly similar to the flag of the Ursus Empire, but still obviously different, the golden red double-headed eagle flag of the People's Federation.

The distant sky is densely covered with the strange manned aircraft of the rebels.On the ground, heavily armored and light gun soldiers searched for survivors of the Ursus army.Crowds of captives were crouching on the snow field, the wounded were lying on the ground crying, and some Ursus soldiers were fleeing in all directions.

A gunshot was heard not far away, it was the imperial standard "Berdan" rifle.A little further away, there was movement from something that looked much larger than a human being.The guy standing upright looked like the big armored man who cooked among the rebels, but now he was not delivering food to Ursus soldiers.

The huge armored warrior raised an arm, flashing his plasma pistol—and a puff of plasma created a cloud of white smoke where the bullet exited.Despite the distance, Wrangel could still hear the screams of the soldiers hiding there.

Then the Space Marine turned his plasma pistol in Wrangel's direction.

Someone asked in horror: "My lord, what should we do?"

Urged by the bright light of the plasma pistol when it was recharged, Wrangel threw out the command knife hanging from his waist without thinking about it.

With a sigh of relief, the entourage raised the white flag and dropped their weapons.Wrangel smiled instead.Perhaps this was the most relaxing moment since he was ordered to attack the northwest tundra.

**

A regular meeting of the decision committee of the 113th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps.

"First of all, comrades. Let us congratulate Comrade Comand for his great work on the integration movement."

The applause was loud and long-lasting.

Regardless of whether he was optimistic about Comander before, no matter what, he made unprecedented achievements in this universe. What the 113th Division paid was a pile of extremely backward technology and a relatively limited amount of military and civilian supplies. What it received now was a high-level political entity with huge potential, and it had a very close cooperative relationship with the 113th Division.Now they have just completely defeated an Ursus army. In the continuous pursuit battle, they swept out and captured an astonishing number of Ursus soldiers. They pursued all the way and took advantage of the opportunity to capture the Sixth Army's logistics base and the military mobile city Tsaritsyn——

This super-large mobile warehouse consisting of only two or three mobile city modules had just moved forward to the predetermined position to provide supplies for the Sixth Army that went deep into the wasteland, and the Sixth Army collapsed.Before the rear units of the Sixth Army fully understood what was going on, they were airborne and assaulted by Human Alliance Space Marines and combat infantry flying Thunderhawk gunships...

The transformation of the world by the 113th Division is finally on the right track after going through slow and difficult work.

"Thank you comrades, the development of the integration movement has now entered a new stage. The central executive committee of the integration movement has even begun to consider the establishment of the Ursas integrationist republic." Conmand said, facing the teacher's huge Armor, "Chief, before I start reporting on the work plan for the next stage, I would like to share my opinion. I think that although the integration movement has achieved certain results, as a political entity, it has a lot to do in terms of politics, economy, military, etc. His abilities cannot be overestimated.

"For example, in terms of military affairs, the integration movement can't even come up with a divisional staff team, so that I came up with the strange situation of six regiments under the direct control of the headquarters. Fortunately, the entire anti-encirclement and suppression campaign focused on positional warfare. Otherwise, my staff will not be able to cope with mobile warfare. Another example is the extreme lack of technical arms. For example, the artillery construction of the integrated movement has been unable to advance. We can only concentrate a large number of infantry on a defensive zone to form a large troop density. The enemy's violent impact and head-on head-on confrontation caused the troops to suffer unnecessary losses in the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.

"The development and growth of a revolutionary regime takes time. And what we lack the most is time. In fact, the integration movement is running out of time now. Because it has already stepped onto the historical stage of the land of Terra, it has aroused the formal attention, but it is not yet strong enough to withstand the next step of siege. Therefore, we believe that we should jump out of the framework of the integration movement and establish another set of intervention models! Use this method to detect the information and intelligence of the Terra continent, paving the way Preliminary work for change, assisting the integration movement's armed separatist revolutionary line."

The decision-making committee members who listened to the report raised their attention one after another, and all the participants showed interest.

Command glanced around the conference room, seemingly satisfied with everyone's attention: "Comrades, our task is to weaken or even eliminate death, indulgence, plague and chaos, not to exacerbate them. The civilization we are currently encountering has the highest level of development. Feudal society has begun to transform into capitalism. The natural environment is extremely harsh and social conflicts are extremely acute. Not only can we not forcefully launch a war, we also need to act on the principle of 'minimizing casualties and suffering as much as possible'. Otherwise, through the 'parallel universe interaction mechanism' ', the subspace evil gods who nourish the mother universe have strengthened their sworn enemies who have been our enemies for 1 years."

He suddenly raised his voice: "However, our armed forces far surpass this civilization!

"Space fighters, cannons, tanks, planes, rockets, and orbital bombing, not to mention guaranteeing the safety of us and our allies, it will take half a year to fight from the extreme north of the Terra continent to the southern seaside, and then boil the ocean with space firepower. Although we cannot be unscrupulous, we are not so restrained that we will not use this power!"

All the participants were interested. They looked suspiciously at Comand, an old scout who has always declared "no rush" in transforming the local civilization. —Why did he suddenly become aggressive?How much more aggressive?

At least, the soldiers who had been hiding in the snowy field for too long, and who had witnessed Comander and the traversers of the "Special Advisory Group" eating meat, were eager to give it a try.

Looking at the division commander again, the division commander and the division political sergeant looked very calm, looking at Comand with calm eyes.

What does this mean?

The decision-making committee members who were overwhelmed saw complex text and patterns displayed on the big screen behind Comand.And the data pads in their hands also began to receive relevant documents.At the same time, Comand began to add:

"The new plan emphasizes direct intervention from our side. And we certainly cannot appear on Terra as 'a contingent of alien civilizations' or 'revolutionaries who want to destroy the emperor, nobles and empires to liberate the infected and the proletariat' In the eyes of the officials of various countries. Regarding this issue, our solution is to register the private company 'ATLAS' as a cover identity."

After reading for a while, someone said:

"You are teaching socialist methods to the opponents of this world, and you plan to let us use capitalist methods to infiltrate and change the existing order of this world?"

Comand nodded: "Yes, we want both the bottom-up approach of 'Integration Movement' and the top-down approach of 'Atlas'! ATLAS will be a large conglomerate with a wide range of businesses, including but not Limited to security contracting, arms sales, medical medicine, infrastructure construction, and light and heavy industries—this layer of cover is another way for us to directly intervene in changing the world besides assisting local revolutionaries in establishing a modernized country on Terra. will cooperate with each other."

Someone quickly asked: "What do you think is the biggest difference between this kind of organization and the integration movement?"

"For the 113th division, if the integration movement is like a branch company, this should be a subsidiary. The integration movement has a higher degree of independence, and Atlas is our cover for external operations."

"So will the Reunification Movement be involved in the work of Atlas?"

"Depends, if we need a decent amount of infantry, why not integrate movement guys? You know, Atlas is just a cover."

Suddenly someone asked: "Comrade Command, why did you request to step down from the position of the General Political Commissar of the Integration Movement and transfer to work in Atlas?"

The hall suddenly fell silent.People looked at the questioner in unison, and then at Command, waiting for how Command would answer this offensive question.

Command glanced at the speaker calmly, and replied, "As you know, my main job is as an officer in the field forces. Even if you put the most unlikely status on me, it's just 'can't jump tracks. Airborne accounting students are not good commissars'. To be the leader of the revolution now, to work as the leader of a regime, and then the reunification movement will grow further, is completely beyond my competence.

"Now, for the integration movement, there are successors to the cause of the party and the revolution, and I have completed the historical task of being a leader. I think that at this time, it is best to ask Gao Ming to take over the heavy responsibility and return to the organization. The right moment.”

"Then who do you think will be able to carry the burden you have relieved?"

"Who else but Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov?"

There is still a long agenda ahead.Should Tallulah Atrias be accepted?There are plenty of arguments for and against, from the impact on the 113th Division to Koscie's possible attitude to what the Reunification Movement thinks about the departure of one of their central executive members...

Also, how to deal with Kelsey's "Tower of Babel"?Even how to deal with the country "Kazdel", which is on the verge of civil war, and the well-known Sarkaz people?Is this an opportunity for the 113th Division to officially walk out of the tundra and begin to enter Terra society?

Comand now clearly realized that after he solved part of the problem, it was just a new set of troubles and difficulties.

New difficulties, new life, and new battles came to Comand.

★ Volume [-] Rising from the Ruins★

Group Friends Fanwai Fleet Refresh

(Thanks to the book friend "Rusty Angel" for writing the extra chapter of this book. After I polished it and super-extended it, it was released as a free chapter. Simply put, these chapters describe the integration movement when the protagonist leads the team to Kazdale - State of the Ursus Empire.)

"Your Majesty and Your Excellency the Minister of Military Affairs.

"Following the 'Battleship Potemkin' incident and the destruction of the Sixth Army of the Fourth Army. Including one high-speed cruiser and two armored cruisers, two land-ship detachments of twelve high-speed battleships in total were rebels. The army was destroyed in the northwestern tundra. Only by counting the cost of warships, the empire lost more than [-] million red gold rubles. Most of the officers and crew of the two land fleet detachments were also killed or captured. This is only It is the calculation of the land fleet, and the military mobile city 'Tsaritsin' has not yet been counted.

"A small number of loyal and brave crew members of the Imperial Land Fleet managed to escape from the siege and interception of the rebels. According to their dictation and the video materials they carried, the rebels only used some small cannons to successfully defeat the land that was chasing the rebel ship. The fleet pursuit detachment, and the fast land fleet detachment reinforced to the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army. There is no doubt that the red rebels on the northwest tundra have obtained some advanced technology before they can defeat our brave Imperial Army and Imperial Land Fleet.

"...As the counter-insurgency war further expanded, our country's fiscal expenditures began to come under pressure. War tax sharing exacerbated the already highly acute grassroots contradictions. Peasants and citizens hanged pickets and grassroots officials in the On tree branches and street lamps; heresy pamphlets and fanatical believers were printed, and even appeared on the streets of Chernobog and St. Junburg. Such appalling riots can only be instigated by the red rebellion. Respect Your Majesty the Tsar, I humbly propose to you once again: dispatching a cutting-edge capital ship to the front line of the Northwest Counter-Insurgency War is urgent..."

The document paper full of text was lightly burned by a lighter, igniting a yellow flame, and then used to light a cigar.The Ursus telegram intercepted by the electronic warfare unit recently has become a pastime for Gary, the gunnery commander of the military mobile city "Steel Grad" of the Terra Land Fleet of the 113th Division.

The recent internal reference documents have become a source of joy for the officers, soldiers and staff of the 113th Division of the People's Federation.Everyone enjoyed watching through these chaotic memorials, full of disbelief and panic, the predicament of the Ursus Empire, the first-class power among the natives of "New Terra"-like a child watching a nest of ants exploding.

The successive failures of the Fourth Army finally made the highest strata of the ruling class of the Ursus Empire begin to see the term "integration movement" in official documents.This new unknown and powerful new force, as they said in the "Manifesto of the Integration Movement", "disdains to conceal their intentions and opinions", and has publicly announced more than once that it will use "all means" to reshape The current situation of the tragic situation of the infected and the general working people in Terra society.

And the Ursus Empire is the first to bear the brunt.

The destruction of the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army has far-reaching and complex meanings.On the political level, this represents the emergence of a powerful challenger within the Ursus Empire who can use armed separatism to resist armed suppression in order to maintain its own existence;

In terms of military affairs, in addition to the serious damage to the Fourth Army's combat effectiveness, this also means that the task facing the Ursus army has changed from suppressing and mopping up the mob to fighting against an army whose overall level is even higher than its own. And the strong army.

In addition, in terms of strategic decision-making, the destruction of the Sixth Army means that even the most powerful corps-level units in the various armies of Ursus cannot launch combat operations against the integration movement alone, because the integration movement has the ability Organize large corps to encircle and wipe out army-level units.This means that the Ursas army's offensive against the integration movement must reach at least the scale of a group army, and it may not be able to win.

The next step is the political ecology of the Ursus Empire. The "group army" is not a military unit in the usual context, but a local military leader with a tendency to separate.

Similar to a certain fucked army that we are quite familiar with, some of the commanders of the group army are willing to let the precious army, the key to maintaining their status and power, be thrown in front of the terrorist enemy's "steam roller" and slowly be crushed Broken?

But then again, the Ursus Empire is still a centralized militaristic feudal empire after all.Its army and nobles have many hills, fierce internal fighting, separatism and even rebellion are one thing, but when someone wants to overturn the table and smash the entire empire, they can still obey the orders of the emperor, unless their losses are too great the point of acceptance.

However, as we all know, the integration movement is not so easy to deal with.

After the victory of the "first anti-encirclement and suppression campaign", the integration movement began to expand outwards, marching towards the south of the empire, officially beyond the northwestern tundra area, and began to enter the north of Ursas.In this relatively barren land, the Reunification Movement and the Civil Protection Army have successfully achieved "vigorous vigor and competition for all things" and "the people wholeheartedly welcome wherever they go"——

Who told the serfs under the serf system of Ursas to live a little bit better than the unlucky bastards on the northwest tundra...

It is said to be in the south, but most of its expansion range so far is within the territory of the Fourth Army, and it is beginning to touch the territories of other armies and nobles.A new round of large-scale siege will take time.

However, following several brigade, regiment, and battalion-level battles, the troops sent by the various armies felt the difficulty of the Terra People's Guard.

The rise of the Integration Movement on the Northwest Tundra can only be described as unimaginable to those who do not know the existence of the 113th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps.The Ursus Empire was astonished to discover that this rebel army that had suddenly risen from the bitterly cold land possessed unprecedented advanced technology, incredible material advantages, and mature and effective theories.

The pamphlets published in the Northwest Tundra are full of appeal and agitation, and they are easy to spread. The broadcasts of large radio stations spread the fire of heresy in the empire, making the imperial secret service "Oklana" - the Bureau of Safeguarding Public Safety and Order It hurts.

The theoretical books in red covers made the imperial sociologists seriously point out that the rebels were by no means just a rabble of passionate people, they had a rigorous social science theoretical system to guide their practice.In addition to being radical, they clearly demarcate their own stage goals, and transform the society under their rule with firmness and flexibility.

As for the Imperial Army, they are the group that feels the most about this new force.In addition to the most intuitive weapons and equipment and logistical support advantages, the imperial soldiers were most impressed by other things: in the habit of the imperial army, officers were divided into "high IQ" groups, and soldiers were divided into "low IQ" groups. And think that such complex tasks as commanding battles can only be completed by "high IQ" officers, and soldiers only use good machines to perform tasks well-the result of this tradition is that they find it difficult to understand the exuberant enthusiasm of the commanders and fighters of the Nationalist Army. The spirit of attack and the strong enthusiasm for fighting were even very surprising to the captured tribal soldiers who were able to fully describe their troops and perform tasks.

This kind of thinking is indeed the consideration of the Ursus officers, and the soldiers feel that "this kind of battle cannot be fought!" "You take your only gun and touch their machine gun bazooka!".

The needs of the frontline are forcing technological progress.Regardless of military or civilian, new technology will be imperfect at the beginning of its birth.For example, low practical value, high price, huge investment in follow-up research, low safety and poor comfort.

These will be obstacles to their conversion to civilian use.But the army is different. The army has only one goal, and that is to win.Other than that, everything can give way.

Fight automatic weapons with black-powder single-shot rifles, and quick-fire cannons with racks.Such a terrifying technology gap caused the Ursus Empire army to suffer terrible losses, and the urgent need for new weapons on the front line also forced various technologies, crafts and designs in the military industry to mature rapidly.

Gary now sees the product of the Ursus Empire's technological explosion:

"The combat intelligence center called the fire command center. Observation post No. 153 outside the ship found the shadow of the ship. Its position relative to our ship: the direction is [-], and the distance is [-]."

The long-awaited picture appeared on the display screen of the fire command center: the silhouettes of three high-speed battleships and two battlecruisers of the Ursus Empire Land Fleet appeared on the horizon, and the slender barrels pointed obliquely at the night sky. The hull of the ship cast a dark shadow under the moonlight, as if to indicate the fate of the integration movement.

"This is the fire control center. I understand. Continue to observe." Gary spit out the cigar in his mouth, and in the fire bucket at his feet, the cigarette butts inside piled up into a hill—he used this to pass the boring time of ambush.As an unmodified standard human, Gary also wears power armor for mortals on the ship's in-ship battle position that has entered a first-level combat readiness state in accordance with the newly formulated combat regulations of the 113th Division.

But as a "second time traveler", a member of the "Special Advisory Group" of the 113th Division, and an outstanding land cruiser gunnery officer, he always has some privileges.For example, lighting a fire in the cabin of the land carrier during combat readiness violated at least four of the relevant regulations of the Terran Land Fleet of the 113th Division, but no one cared about it.

The people who want to eat his shells are not so leisurely.It is different from the exaggerated descriptions of "eliminating demons in the snowstorm" and "correspondents howling in the icy wind" that were recorded in the elementary school textbooks of the People's Republic of Usas in later generations.Many years later, Lieutenant General Kirilenko of the Land Fleet, commander of the former Ursus Empire "Divine Reign" fast battle group who underwent transformation, wrote in his memoirs: "The snow field before the artillery fire was filled with the peace of New Year's Eve. , There is no atmosphere of battle. I have never seen such a magnificent starry sky, the bright moon shines on the snow, and the prosperous lights of the city dozens of miles away are shining through the telescope in the observer's hand."

At this moment, Fleet Commander Kirilenko was sitting on pins and needles in the bridge.

The "Holy Rule"-class high-speed battleship under his feet is armed with the latest technological crystallization of the Imperial Academy of Sciences: three triple-mounted 406MM long-barreled heavy naval guns are arranged along the central axis, and the ammunition is exhausted by the chemists. The painstaking trinitrotoluene, the huge aperture of the 12-meter optical rangefinder and the large-scale flares and searchlights, these sharp weapons can enable your fleet to find and straddle enemy ships and heavy troops at a distance of 20 kilometers—— This is the power beyond this era.

The development of the new fleet has not been easy.Right now, there are strikes one after another in the mobile cities of the empire. Although the land fleet is active in suppressing operations, the results of the fleet are destined to be less dazzling than the army in this kind of work-does the fleet have to rely on a limited number of marines and hordes of troops? Army infantry to survive?Or use heavy artillery to blow up the rioters, factories and cities together?

Overt and covert rumors are circulating in the military meeting.Kirilenko knows that many army officers are advocating the creation of a new army that is cheap, easy to use sparse formations, and based on small high-firepower vehicles to partially replace the expensive and cumbersome land fleet.Kirilenko sneered at this. In order to strengthen his persuasion, he wished that the Colombian or Victoria fleet would appear on the horizon now to let his heavy artillery fire.

The fleet will lead the new battle group leading "this land".He has the confidence to compete with the land fleet of any country on Terra.But this time, after all, it's an integration movement...

"It's not for my personal shame." Kirilenko took out the flagon and took a sip, "It's for the honor of the fleet and...survival."

The "Great Revolutionary War" in the northern base of the integration movement Ursus, the "Northwest counter-rebellion" of the Ursas Empire, or the Ursas civil war has entered a new stage.The war is expanding, and a large part of the territory of the Ursus Empire has fallen into the hands of the integration movement.

Of course the empire couldn't stand all this.Facing this enemy shrouded in mystery, the "Holy Rule" fast task force composed of three new land battleships and two land battlecruisers will launch a "forced reconnaissance" to investigate this front-running integration movement. The southernmost enemy military mobile city in the occupied area launched an attack.

In this armed reconnaissance mission, from Kirilenko's fast battle group of battleships to the accompanying small and medium-sized land ships, as well as the army units responsible for jumping gangs and street fighting, Ursus Emperor Fyodor is directly loyal to his own The latest equipment and the most disciplined troops were brought out of the troops.
