  Chapter 901 The Foundation of Trust

  ”Dear Administrator, I am sorry to take your time in your busy schedule. On behalf of the Borneo Province Theater Staff, I would like to report to you on our work during this period.”

  ”According to your instructions, while assisting the Borneo Province resistance forces to establish a new army, we have also established a relatively complete air defense system in the local area. Although in the past few months, planes from Xifan Port have frequently launched air strikes on Tiandu City, the impact on strategy and infrastructure has been kept to a minimum.”

  ”In addition, the weapons and radio equipment that are continuously shipped to the front line have reversed the shortage of weapons in the Borneo Province countries, and the training and combat effectiveness of their various units have been greatly improved. At first, under the conditions of the same equipment, the Borneo Army needed a team of 100 people to contain a regular army team of 10 in the legion. Now they have mastered the mobile warfare methods taught by our side, and reduced the number of people who contain the legion’s squad forces from the company level to the platoon level.”

  ”At present, the battle situation in Borneo Province has shifted from strategic defense to strategic stalemate. Our army and friendly forces have seen the dawn of victory.”

  ”However, although there are many optimistic news worth mentioning, it is undeniable that our various units are still a long way from launching a formal strategic counterattack.”

  ”While we are familiar with the tactics of the Southern Corps, the Southern Corps is also adapting to our offensive and defensive tactics. This includes using a stable front to prevent our penetration and infiltration, and coordinating intensive artillery fire to annihilate our manpower.”

  ”It is undeniable that the numerical disadvantage is a shortcoming that our army cannot ignore. When we tried to use time to exchange for space, the opponent adopted the tactic of lengthening the front line to magnify our disadvantages.”

  ”On the other hand, although the combat effectiveness of the joint forces of the countries in the Borneo Province has improved and they have passed the most difficult period of resource shortage, their defensive capabilities are more than enough, but their offensive capabilities are still lacking. According to the casualties reported by the front-line units, the gap between the combat exchange ratio of offensive operations and defensive operations can be as much as two or even three times.”

  ”Not only that, there are also serious differences within the countries in the Borneo Province. Not only are there many factions, but factional attacks and party attacks are also continuous, and they have been particularly obvious since the collapse of the Heavenly Palace.”

  ”In addition, as the war continues, the Legion’s armaments have shown signs of upgrading. At first they only had two jet fighters, but now more and more new aircraft are appearing over the Borneo province. Not only that, there are also laser-guided weapons, artillery shells with electronic guidance heads, etc.”

  ”Initially we judged that the Legion’s offensive would turn into a slump after the loss of the airship, but it seems that we have underestimated their will to fight. In fact, the crash of the airship has led to the renewal of their equipment and the upgrading of tactics.”

  ”More and more exoskeletons and guided weapons are appearing on the front lines, including light weapons with new receiver structures and so on. Considering the industrial productivity of the Southern Legion and the colonies that supply raw materials, if this continues, the situation of the war is likely to turn to our disadvantage.”

  ”Therefore, I sincerely suggest to you that a second battlefield be opened in the colonies or homeland of the Southern Legion.”

  ”… Your loyal Admiral Vanus, September 1st. ”

  In the Alliance Building in Dawn City, Chu Guang carefully read the report sent back from the front line.

  Although he has been paying attention to the posts on the forum to understand the details of the war in the Borneo Province, Vanus’s report provides him with a completely different perspective.

  In fact, shortly after the beginning of the war, there was a debate on the forum about whether the alliance should open a second battlefield.

  Those who support it have their reasons for support. For example, instead of attacking the legion’s supply line, it is better to directly send it back to the Stone Age.

  And those who oppose it also have reasons and grounds. Attacking the homeland of the Southern Legion is actually equivalent to declaring war on the entire legion. Not only will it trigger the defense agreement within the legion, it is more likely to reunite the legion with serious internal divisions.

  This is equivalent to actively helping the other party complete the war mobilization and completely transforming internal contradictions into external contradictions.

  In fact, Chu Guang is more inclined to the latter.

  Not only because of the reasons raised by most players during the debate, to a large extent Or because he had another piece of intelligence about the colony of the Southern Legion.

  For example, Yongye Port, thousands of kilometers away, was brewing a major change.

  Although it is not ruled out that this may have been exaggerated by the players, at least this war has made some of the Weilants sober up –

  they are on a runaway train.

  This train uses their flesh and blood as fuel, but it has not taken them to utopia, but is taking them to an invisible abyss, and crushing all their good qualities such as loyalty, bravery, generosity, fearlessness, etc.

  In this war full of lies and deception, the Weilants have nothing to gain except a bunch of thousand-man commanders and ten-thousand-man commanders riding on their heads.

  And those alien races suppressed by the Weilants are gradually moving from mutual persecution to unity.

  In this case, it may be a better approach to wait and see.

  After thinking about this report for a long time, Chu Guang looked at Xiaoqi who was sitting on the pen holder.

  ”Xiaoqi, reply to an email for me and say… From a tactical point of view, this is a good suggestion, but from a strategic point of view, it is not the right time yet. ”

  ”Received!” Xiao Qi nodded vigorously, with a blue light flickering in his pupils, and quickly sent the edited reply to the front-line command of the Borneo Province.

  Information infrastructure is also part of infrastructure.

  In the past six months, the construction team of French Fries Port has used the “Electric Ray” unmanned boat and the “Crab” amphibious engineering armor to lay the submarine cable from French Fries Port to Golden Gallon Port.

  At present, the communication between Dawn City and the southern waters and the coast of the Borneo Sea no longer needs to be transmitted by telegram, and real-time information can be transmitted.

  After laying a few more cables, increasing the channel width, and building a few more servers to improve computing power, I am afraid that it will not be a problem to build a local area network similar to the endpoint cloud.

  Reviewing Vanus’s report is the last job of the day.

  Looking at the late sky outside the window, Chu Guang stretched comfortably, pushed away the chair and stood up from the desk, planning to stroll in the commercial street in the north after work.

  Recently, a new commercial plaza called “Night City” opened there.

  It is said that several professional life players referred to the real department store and integrated the holographic and light pollution technology of Ideal City to redesign the cyberpunk-style building. The Goblin

  Bank provided loans for the creativity of those newbies, and now the avant-garde shopping mall has become the “new landmark” of North Street in Dawn City, and even the residents of Ideal City have made a special trip to check in.

  Once upon a time, the most eye-catching landmark in Dawn City was the Ideal Hotel invested and built by Ideal Group. But now the towering hotel has gradually been overshadowed by the new landmarks that have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

  This is not entirely the credit of the players, but also the contributions of many survivors influenced by the players.

  Although there is still a long way to go to end the wasteland era, the residents of Dawn City have indeed lived a good life now.

  Chu Guang was also very pleased with the changes that had taken place on this land.

  Thanks to this, he got off work earlier and earlier, and there were fewer things he needed to do personally.

  If the alliance was still a child that could not do without him a long time ago, then even if he suddenly disappeared, this huge machine could still rely on the power generated by itself to continue to run for a long time… until a new person who deserves the title of manager appears.

  As the “father” of the alliance, what he has to do in the next stage is also obvious –

  he has to remove the last weakness for his child.

  What his child needs is not an “heir” or a “stepfather”, but to transform from a vigorous young man into an adult who can truly stand up to the sky.

  When one day even if he is gone, the young people of the alliance can still move forward with their heads held high, instead of waiting for him to come back, he will be truly successful.

  Otherwise, they will become another form of legion.

  In a sense, Triumph City is indeed like a mirror of Dawn City, presenting another “possibility” of the alliance people.

  Chu Guang also suddenly realized it one day.

  Julius a century and a half ago might be himself from another origin.

  Especially after truly understanding the history of the Weilantes, he had a new understanding and view of the man who was respectfully called the Marshal by the Weilantes.

  Putting aside the different routes they chose in the end, the choices and situations they faced actually had many similarities.

  The Marshal had already demonstrated the results of different choices for him, and even demonstrated them a century and a half later.

  This was also the case with the first generation of the Lord of the Stone City…

  At this time, a knock at the door interrupted Chu Guang’s thoughts.

  He looked at the door and saw Yin Fang standing at the open door, holding a document in his hand, looking like he had something to say.

  ”Did I disturb you from getting off work?”

  Looking at Yin Fang who was joking with him, Chu Guang laughed.

  ”I don’t have any off-duty or not-off-duty issues. Just tell me what you have to say.”

  Yin Fang was not vague. He walked in and handed the document to Chu Guang, and reported concisely.

  ”Anyway, it’s good news. The gravity well in the southern sea area has been deployed. It uses the system that was previously tested in Tiandu, Borneo Province… Well, although the deployment of the device in Borneo Province is not perfect, the academy assures us that it will probably be fine this time.”

  Chu Guang’s expression also became strange.

  ”What do you mean by probably fine?”

  Yin Fang, with a subtle look, gave him a helpless expression.

  ”Because… although we have solved the problem of how to pull the garbage from outer space to the ground, there is no way to figure out what is floating above and what is being pulled down by the gravity well. And don’t forget, that weapon is also in the sky. You know what I’m talking about, right?”

  Chu Guang nodded.

  Of course he knew.

  Yin Fang was referring to the strategic weapon deployed in the outer space orbit.

  It was the last legacy left by the post-war reconstruction committee to the settlements that used to be under its jurisdiction. It is said that only one shot can destroy a settlement with a population of over a million.

  After calming down, Yin Fang continued.

  ”In fact, according to the research report of the astronomical observation department of the scientific expedition team, when we first used the gravity well, the device had already had an unpredictable impact on the trajectory of spacecraft in outer space… According to the usual practices of those guys in the academy, I am worried that they have other plans.”

  Chu Guang said thoughtfully.

  ”You mean…’disarm’?”

  ”This is one of my concerns.” Looking at Chu Guang who was thoughtful, Yin Fang paused for a moment and continued, “As for the second, why didn’t the academy try to deploy it on its own territory, but put it on our territory? There are quite a few uninhabited areas in the Wandering Swamp, and the ecological risks are more controllable than those in the ocean.” Ecological

  risks are okay…

  This is the Wasteland Era, do we still need to worry about this problem?

  However, Chu Guang did not tease Yin Fang for thinking too much, but asked seriously.

  ”Then why do you think it is?”

  Yin Fang smiled bitterly and shook his head.

  ”I don’t know, but that’s why I can’t help but worry about whether there are risks that the academy hasn’t told us about. You know how those guys do things. They like to use others as guinea pigs.”

  This is not only his concern as the chief researcher of the alliance, but also his concern as a former grassroots explorer of the academy.

  Chu Guang’s expression gradually became serious.

  ”Is there any direct evidence to prove it?”

  Yin Fang shook his head.

  ”Unfortunately, there is no. Anti-gravity technology was a cutting-edge technology before the war, and the literature on gravity wells is still at the stage of speculation. All signs indicate that this is the singularity technology that the academy has achieved a breakthrough in after entering the wasteland era… for their Ark plan to go to the new world.”

  When he said this, Yin Fang’s expression on his face was quite embarrassed.

  As a former researcher of the academy, he used to be the person who complained about the academy the most, and he always complained about the academy’s lack of ambition.

  However, in fact, they are not really lacking ambition, but just hiding the progress and achievements they have made.

  With the special confidentiality system of the academy, a D-level researcher cannot possibly have access to those cutting-edge technologies, and may not even know about their existence.

  Of course, whether this system is reasonable is another topic.

  Chu Guang spent more time thinking this time than when he saw Vanus’s report, and Yin Fang did not urge him, but just quietly waited for his opinion.

  ”Is there another possibility… The academy actually does not know the consequences of this choice.”

  Yin Fang was stunned.

  ”They… don’t know either?”

  Chu Guang nodded and continued.

  ”Perhaps testing this technology itself is also part of the exploration of the future. I am more inclined to think that they are actually crossing the river by feeling the stones. After all, you also said that they have all the conditions to do it secretly in the Wandering Swamp, so that we can watch our trump cards fall from the sky without knowing what happened.”

  This includes not only the trump cards of the alliance, but also the trump cards of the enterprise and even the legion.

  Chu Guang has reason to believe that Triumph City has similar strategic weapons in its hands as a guarantee of “mutual destruction”.

  This question really stumped Yin Fang.

  He pondered for a long time, but couldn’t think of how to refute it.

  After a pause, Chu Guang continued with a smile.

  ”Your worries are not unreasonable, but I also think that we don’t need to be so sensitive to them. It’s okay to trust them this time.”

  Yin Fang’s expression became strange, and he couldn’t help but say.

  ”Trust the academy? Are you serious?”

  Chu Guang nodded.

  ”Try to believe, but it doesn’t mean accepting everything. They showed us some sincerity, took out something we haven’t seen, and helped us a lot. Even if it’s a courtesy, we shouldn’t wrong them.” “In

  fact, if you think about it carefully, those guys are a little bit venomous, a little bit narrow-minded, and always say half of what they mean, but they are not bad people. Except for some friction when we first met, they didn’t really do anything to let us down.”

  ”In that case, why not give it a try? It’s less risky to build trust while we are still on the same ship than to build trust after they get off the ship.”

  The academy needs to use its own technical reserves to build a starship capable of carrying out cross-galaxy colonization missions, and the alliance needs to rebuild a bridge connecting the sky and the ground.

  At least for now, the interests of both parties are consistent, and there is no better opportunity than this.

  Yin Fang looked at Chu Guang in astonishment, and said with a complicated expression.

  ”It’s okay if they are not bad people… This is the first time I have seen someone evaluate the academy like this.”

  In the eyes of most wastelanders, the academy is a relatively mysterious existence.

  Fear of the unknown is the nature of living things, and it is precisely because of this mystery that most wastelanders’ evaluation of the academy is even lower than that of the Willant people, and they have no good feelings towards the researchers of the academy.

  Even though the positive impact of the academy on the wasteland is actually far greater than the legion dedicated to promoting slavery and the Enterprise that sent a pioneer ship to the wasteland in a hundred years.

  Although Yin Fang himself has also mocked his old employer, he still feels a little complicated when he hears that an outsider has given a positive evaluation of the academy.

  Looking at Yin Fang with a complicated expression, Chu Guang said with a smile.

  ”Don’t look at me with such eyes. It is your old employer after all, and your conflict is not to the point of blood feud.”

  After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

  ”Also, I plan to go to the southern seas again. If there is any accident there, I can deal with it in time.”

  Yin Fang forced a smile on his face.

  ”… Let’s go together. I just happen to be going there too. When are you leaving?”

  Chu Guang opened the schedule of the holographic computer and took a look. Seeing that there was no arrangement for the next few days, he spoke up.

  ”The day after tomorrow.”

  ”The day after tomorrow?” Yin Fang was stunned and hesitated, “Isn’t it too early? According to the experimental log provided by the academy, the first trial run of the gravity well will not be started until the end of the month.”

  ”Not too early, and I’m not going to the south just for the gravity well,” looking at Yin Fang with a look of surprise on his face, Chu Guang smiled faintly, “The railway to Haiya Province has been open for a long time. This time I won’t take a plane or airship. I plan to take the train.”

  ”If you’re in a hurry, don’t follow me.”

  It is said that the changes in the south are even more amazing than those in Dawn City.

  Anyway, even if he doesn’t deploy it personally, his little players and subordinates are doing very well.

  Chu Guang plans to take a vacation and visit the place where he and his little players once fought…
