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

"But you can see the basic necessities we provide, you can see guns and ammunition, machinery and equipment, medicine and food, milk, coffee and chocolate, wool blankets and canned beef... and that."

Comand's finger pointed into the distance.Everyone turned their heads together and saw something that they would get used to living in the base, but in fact they didn't know what was going on at all.

A huge black shadow stood high in the distant woods.

From beginning to end, the integration movement did not know what happened to the mobile city blocks that were concentrated here, because they were only visible from a distance, and the surrounding area of ​​the construction site was designated as a military restricted area.In charge of serving as instructors in the workshop, many scouts of the People's Federation who have become the backbone of the integration movement have also repeatedly emphasized not to approach, even Comand himself repeated it many times.

And now, the Patriots and his party became the first Terran natives to get close to these remodeling mobile cities.

"Soldiers can have simple or radical ideas for things like revolution; but you are vanguard models, army commanders, and educators, and you must have a clear and clear understanding of revolution."

Commander turned around and said, "I'm going to take you to talk today about what we, the extremely rich people, who are living a good life but come here to mess with you, are thinking."

Tallulah raised her eyebrows: "Oh, the General Political Commissar has begun to perform his duties."

"If you still have the mind to make a joke, that's fine, let's go."

As a space civilization sent to open a branch base, the 113th Division was certainly not a convoy when it crossed through the time and space gate and stopped on the northwest tundra - a medium-sized star fort with a diameter of 120 kilometers and its escort fleet were in the "false starry sky" "Above that, build backup bases in the shadow of the satellites.As an extremely precious and habitable planet, "this land" is the main direction of work, but the Human League forces on it are currently just the vanguard to open up the situation.

The advance team of the 113th Division first needs to provide a basis for survival on the extremely harsh environment in the northwest tundra.After much consideration, the 113th Division decided to follow the Romans and designate the first Terra city under its rule as a mobile city.

This is a frugal plan: on the northwest tundra of Ursus, there are some abandoned mobile city blocks scattered everywhere.These super giant ground vehicles can be put back into use as long as they are replaced with new power packs and their walking systems are repaired - it can be said that they make a fortune by picking up garbage.

Except for Comand's scouts, the only ones who interfered with the local society were the technical reconnaissance department and a small number of air units.The main work of the advance team is still focused on collecting and repairing mobile city blocks.

The sentry who lifted the optical camouflage and appeared directly from the air inspected the unmanned armored off-road vehicle and released it after seeing the warrant and Commander's ID.

An unbelievable picture unfolded in front of the backbone of the integration movement:

Welding sparks completely covered the huge outer walls of several mobile city blocks, making the construction site as bright as day, but the welders were all flying drones and bees, and the total number was at least tens of thousands; There are countless such manned or unmanned construction machines, and there are even engineering titans taller than the mobile city chassis;

On the road leading to the outside of the construction site, there are transport vehicles of different models full of raw materials and products moving at high speed at all times. They come from the fast-building factory area built by the "mobile base construction vehicles" in the distance.

Hundreds of armored combat vehicles, including super-heavy tanks, hover tanks and self-propelled artillery, stand in the camp.In teams of patrolling and training teams, there are space fighters larger than the famous Ursus shield guards who are famous for their size; mortal warriors wearing medium and light power armor; there are a large number of different styles called "iron men". "The remote-controlled battle robot; a group of mechanical priests and machine servants in red robes and strange shapes.

People who had experienced the encounter with the internal guards that night were horrified: The strength of a platoon to hold them to death is so terrifying, so many...

Command and several backbones of the integration movement entered the engineering titan, and boarded the observation platform tens of meters high on the top, allowing them to overlook the vast ocean of lights, personnel, and equipment on the snowy field.

"Who can believe this is a scene on the Northwest Tundra?" The Patriot broke the silence.

People with complicated moods nodded.

Commander spoke: "Comrades."

Everyone turned their attention to him.

"For you now, it is very difficult to have even a relatively complete vague understanding of the 'Future Human Community Alliance'. You have never even seen the ocean, and you know nothing about planets, galaxies, and the universe. It may be possible to recognize fleets and cities in space. But even this little power here is enough to convince you that the People's Federation is powerful."

An old man rolled his eyes with three girls: You call this "a little bit"? !

"The reason why we came here is very complicated." Comand continued on his own, leaning his upper body slightly forward, looking directly at the local aborigines, as sharp as two long swords, "At present, we only It can be explained like this: Our greatest enemy, the subspace demon in the psychic realm, has a huge connection with the ideological tendencies of intelligent creatures.

"The more the world is filled with wars, indulgences, plagues, and conspiracies, the more it uses strange mechanisms to provide power. Our war with them has been going on for 1 years - and we have just barely stabilized the war situation. Start fighting back.

"However, we found that, including your world, wars, indulgences, plagues, and conspiracies in many places are providing power to the enemy—even if the subjects of these actions know nothing about it. Therefore, we opened up The second battlefield, to change those worlds."

Commander smiled at the complicated expressions of the natives: "It's incredible, isn't it? I know you are still thinking, what does this have to do with me, a little person? On the contrary, this is closely related to every one of you Terrayans. Excuse me, What is the quickest way to eliminate war, lust, plague, and conspiracy?"

Before anyone could speak, he asked and answered himself: "If you ask me to say: just raze the entire mobile city of Terra to the ground with all its people, and kill all the natives here - without people, there will naturally be no one." If the thoughts fluctuate, there will be no such things as killing each other, burning, looting, raping, contracting diseases, and intrigues. Is there a faster way than this? I would like to call it efficient."

Everyone's first reaction to this kind of madness was to scoff, and then they noticed the sea of ​​lights in front of them.Now, even the Patriot, a seasoned veteran, trembled slightly.He realized that Comand and the forces behind him didn't take this as a big talk, but really thought about it.As for whether they have such power...

Not necessarily not.

Comand waved his hand, attracting everyone's attention: "Of course it's not appropriate."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But it can still be regarded as a last resort."

Everyone was worried again.

"You feel your conscience and say, with our comprehensive national strength and living standards, why should we go to this barren and cold snowfield, eat the wind, eat and sleep in the open, and deal with you at the risk of death? You died of Oppression, death from disease or starvation, does it have a kopeck relationship with us? But we just ran to the most shitty place on Terra, trying to drag you out of the predicament, thankless."

Faced with words that are too naked and straightforward, people are silent.Can only be silent.

However, Comand waved his hand in disregard of people's complex emotions, and said loudly: "That's because, when the People's Federation came to this land, there is only one thing to do——to break the old world and build a new world!"

PS:

There will be a special chapter on light weapons

Chapter 7 General Fan.jpg

Looking at the silent people, Comand nodded: "Breaking the old world, everyone can more or less understand. But this new world, it is as important as breaking the old world, even more important!

“I want you to understand how difficult this is, which is difficult in itself.

"In your eyes, we are very powerful. However, to 'break the old world and build a new world' on the land of Terra, it is impossible to rely only on a group of powerful outsiders. The people of Terra must be allowed to We have also participated extensively and deeply in this change.

We talk about win-win, so that you can live well, so that we have a new livable world and supporters.This is the most accustomed and most difficult path of the People's Federation.Only in this way can the strength of the People's Federation itself be maximized.

"We all have lived in the rural areas of the northwest tundra. The people here are united, friendly, and optimistic. Because selfish people without the help of friends will die in the bitter cold long ago, and will not be able to enjoy the hardships, only the deep hatred will Died in the long winter night.

"But is this place good? The folks have too many problems at the same time. They can't see someone who is 'different' and judges others with the 'rules' and values ​​that have been accumulated for hundreds of years of small-scale peasant life. Whoever is top-notch must step on it." under the long-term lack of material, they have formed a style of extreme greed for petty gain... Now, comrades Tallulah and Alina must have a deep understanding."

Tallulah smiled wryly.Alina also smiled wryly—one had lived in the village for a long time, and the other was born in the village.

Commander continued: "Is human nature inherently good or inherently evil? In our opinion, it is meaningless to discuss this. The most overriding need of human beings is survival. Our point of view and their essence are all good, but It's different whether he is forced to do something under a harsh environment (Tallulah coughed twice in embarrassment) or, on the contrary, believes that human nature is inherently evil and stupid and blindly follows malice.

"The big difference is this: we think that people must first eat, drink, live, and dress before they can engage in politics, science, art, religion, etc. So, the latter must be based on the former as an explanation, rather than thinking that the tundra is bad The huge survival pressure in the natural environment makes people distort their kind nature, or exposes their ugliness.

"So our book says: Work must be based on liberating and developing productive forces. Only with the material foundation provided by new productive forces and the lifestyle determined by new production methods can people's habits and ideas be fundamentally changed. A A small example: Do farmers who work from sunrise to sunset have a sense of time accurate to the minute? No, this kind of awareness is only needed when marching and fighting, taking trains, and checking attendance at work. Only life in an industrial society can establish this kind of awareness. in people's hearts.

"This is just a living habit. Think about the big problem of infected people? How much transformation of Terran society is needed to reverse the social atmosphere that discriminates against infected people and the power politics and hegemonism between countries? and construction? How much does it cost to do this?

"We are indeed very powerful: we have the force to quickly calm people down, we have the productivity to keep people fed and clothed, and we have special medicines that cure the Originium disease. But transforming the old world into a new world, It requires arduous struggle, patient and meticulous work to transform the political and economic order of the entire Terra society and the people of Terra. This is equivalent to a blind person who is born blind to understand what the sun is - the only way is to pay all This arduous and tedious effort made this blind man see the light!

"Our career is so difficult, and our responsibility is so arduous."

The dignified atmosphere was unprecedented.A rebellious aristocratic lady, a peasant girl eager to learn, and a guerrilla who used magic to kill from childhood find themselves stepping into uncharted territory.There was even awe in the way they looked at Comand.

Comand raised his hand and pointed at Tallulah: "We are here to solve the problem of Comrade Tallulah. Don't look at such a long paragraph that neither involves Black Snake nor her, I have actually said everything that can be said.

"Since you have seen the latest internal reference, you should be able to see it. The ideological contradiction between Black Snake and Tallulah are two answers to 'Where should Ursus go'.

"Ursus took the lead in creating classical militarism and the construction of national national consciousness. People of all races identified themselves as members of the 'Ursus Empire and Ursus Nation' and rushed out of the barren Ursas to win the war. The bonus made the empire of the previous emperor prosperous and powerful. The Black Snake has never jumped out of this frame. I can only say that today, when the internal and external environment has changed drastically, it is expected to achieve the same result as before... um. "

The patriot nodded slightly.

"You said Tallulah, ah, Comrade Tallulah, you see that she and Black Snake are inseparable, but in fact? Changing the soup does not change the medicine. The Black Snake also has a reason to say, what is my plan? At any rate, you have accomplished great things in history. What level are you at? Too young too simply, sometimes naive! Completely turn Black Snake's opinion on its head, using empty 'fairness' and 'justice'. It requires social analysis, organization building, and long-term planning. No! She doesn’t have that ability, do you know that?”

Alina bit her lip, seeming a little displeased at her friend being judged so harshly: "But, Comrade General Political Commissar. On the other hand, Tallulah is an excellent spiritual leader..."

"Ouyou, thank God. I have already said, why is the black snake so confident in the curse that she successfully possessed it as soon as she wavered? Because in comparison, the black snake is closer to reality. You are like a revolution The work itself has not laid a good foundation. There is no strict and effective theoretical guidance, and only one step is taken in the specific operation. Can you guarantee to me that a single spark can start a prairie fire, not that it burns around and finds everywhere The snow finally drowned itself?"

This is a bit arrogant.However, no one objected.

Command took a deep breath: "Of course, to be honest, I think Comrade Tallulah is actually very capable. I was able to gather you together, thanks to the support of the organization. I have several companies of scouts. Aircraft support, with endless supplies. Comrade Tallulah started the game with a suit of clothes and a sword, and lived in the village. He was able to link up an intelligence network, and the infected people from various villages to nearby cities were connected. This is much better than me.

"However, it's not enough! It's not enough for the fucking job of a revolutionary leader! Tallulah, good words are not good. You can judge for yourself whether what I say is good or not, but it's definitely not good:

"You, or anyone else, is not important enough to be indispensable.

"Whether it is the claim of the throne of Victoria and the throne of the Yan Kingdom, or the claim of the Duke of Usas, it is worthless in our eyes; you are a good seed, it is a pity that you can't cultivate it, it is a pity that it is over? What should we do? go.

"We can provide a solution with great feasibility and good prospects for the infected people in trouble, Ursus and even the whole Terra. We have the ability and determination to implement this plan. We will change the whole Terra and let everyone lives are changed.”

Command took the red cover of the book titled "Manifesto of the Integration Movement" in Alina's hand, and put it into Tallulah's hands: "Comrade Tallulah, I will not trample on your hopes and ideals. Seriously, then Is the part I cherish the most, the number one thing I value in you. But I hope you can survive without these things, because we will be enemies with a large part of this world, and there will be extremely cruel contests. Happily , once goodness meets evil, goodness always gets hurt first.”

Tallulah held the book, her gaze straightened.

"We are now facing many and difficult problems. As a force that started out as a rebel, we are professional in solving these problems.

"The current armed forces team system combines military and civilian work. It works well in places where there is no foundation. Each team has enough force to protect itself and can also carry out mass work. It can open up the situation. But now the situation has changed again. Come The armed forces teams that go and go can't go deep into the villages. Now, we need to reform the organizational structure.

"The armed forces team needs to be broken down into two sets of institutions, the government and the army. We need to arrange long-term working groups stationed in the village, and work with the villagers to build a village integrationist regime. This institutional system that controls social and public power within the jurisdiction is the government; On the other hand, the army needs to be formalized to form a regular army that is completely separated from production and is responsible for fighting. It is also necessary to establish a militia that is part-time and not full-time among the people. The field troops are divided into local troops that are permanently stationed in the place and field troops that perform mobile combat tasks. ..."

When everyone's eyes began to turn into mosquito coils, Command stopped suddenly: "In short, we are all experienced in making revolutions and constructions. But the work depends on you as the main force. The world is ours, but in the final analysis it is you of."

Command cast warm eyes on the people who were "originally" about to die or go astray: "Comrades, the war has already begun... Throughout Ursus, the emperor and the military leader are still sitting firmly in their palaces, The inner guards have noticed us; beside us, there are remnants of the Ursas Empire forces and various bandits in the northwest tundra, and the village regime has only begun to be established or even not established. The struggle will be sharp, fierce, and long. We there's still a long way to go.

"Just like our current research on origin stone and ore disease, we have indeed achieved certain results. But have we really conquered them? No. We just know that this kind of nanomachine is very sensitive to human beings. Once we find that it may affect human beings, we will stop. It automatically stops functioning and is excreted from the body. So when you beat human serum into your body, those origin stones will fall off by themselves. But the deeper reason is still unknown to us.

"However, comrades, we will definitely be able to solve the natural disaster of Originium and all kinds of man-made disasters on the earth. I still firmly believe in this: this world is now difficult, suffering, and full of war; but one day, she will It's wonderful!"

PS1:

"You are not important", this may be the main attitude of the protagonist camp towards the "plot characters" in this book.

PS2:

What follows is the exciting battle with small arms.

As for why no one has a 12.7, my opinion is that although the physical fitness of the people in Terraya is generally better than that of the naked apes on Earth, it is impossible for them to use the 12.7×108mm as a rifle bullet. The body surface area of ​​the Terra natives is just So big, it can carry about the same amount of ammunition as a naked human ape.

Besides:

Compared with rifles, the machine gun mortar bazooka grenade launcher in the squad platoon company is more important and more meaningful.

14000 rifles are not as good as 900 grenade launchers.

What about ideal infantry weapons?

When the time-traveling members of the special advisory team were responsible for building the unit of the integration movement from scratch, even though their mental age was almost triple digits, everyone felt distressed.

In all fairness, everyone now has two brushes.Anyway, in the space fleet and marine corps of the interstellar era, they can also serve as more important positions such as combat unit commanders, technical arms unit commanders, and technical backbones.From a young man in a peaceful environment who has never seen a few times of killing chickens to today, step by step, he has experienced hardships and complex emotions, and his words are not worth mentioning.

Of course, everyone wondered if the old Emperor Emperor was really fooling around, ah no, protecting everyone.Otherwise, why did everyone disperse and serve in the entire galaxy on the epic battlefield of No.40 for three thousand years, and when they finally reunited, none of them were missing.

However, no matter whether it is the ability to jump orbit and airborne, command space battleships, use power armor and plasma guns, command several battalions of self-propelled artillery or tanks, or have some great fairy covering him, it will not change the fact that:

"This great cause of building an army is too fucked!"

In the past, everyone jumped from geosynchronous orbit to the surface in an airdrop pod, drove the Emperor's Baneblade super-heavy tank, commanded artillery to fight the Chaos Titan, and even beheaded the green-skinned boss Waaagh BOSS in the midst of thousands of orcs.

What now?

The average troop commander of the Integration Movement has a diploma and has not graduated from elementary school. This average level is raised by Tallulah, a daughter of the aristocracy; the soldiers are all very fluent and illiterate, and they are known as the 1087th troop origin - 1 is a carrying pole, 0 is an iron pot, 8 is two baskets carried on a pole, 7 is a hoe...

The army comes from society, and the weapons, equipment and personnel quality of the army are fundamentally determined by the level of social development.We are used to recruits who have been fully trained and studied in the recruit training base using the memory burning learning system, and military cadet cadres who have successfully graduated from the People's Federation military education system and have gone through examinations and internships to replenish their troops.Now you are suddenly commanding soldiers who have not even finished elementary school... expect them to control precision-guided weapons, process the military cogitator computer and automated command system, and set the flight parameters of the orbital drop capsule?

To completely "start from scratch".
