Tower Defense Strategy - Chapter 289

Xizhongzhou, the cradle of modern industry and the gathering place of pirate civilization, has been in a difficult situation recently.

Most areas of West Central Continent are flat, suitable for cavalry and tank maneuvering. Similarly, monsters have a very good vision. Another problem caused is the lack of a high point. The so-called high ground is a few meters higher than the flat ground, which cannot bring extra range and makes the strike capability outside the air force seem very useless.

In the process of fighting against the monsters, Xizhongzhou suffered a great deal, so far at least two thousand tanks have been lost.

It stands to reason that in an area with a total population of more than 600 million and a large number of developed countries, 2,000 tanks is not an unacceptable number. After all, the strength of the monster lies there. The weapons of the world war can not even reach the shooting position. Will be wiped out.

However, the hollowing out of the industry does not mean that it can be made up by making up for it.

The complexity of modern industry is far beyond the imagination of some outsiders.

For example, for some special steel bolts, because there is no demand for steel in other categories, the world only has a supply of tens of tons per year, which can only feed two or three peas-sized enterprises, or a certain A production team in a large enterprise.

Such small and micro enterprises in the middle of the supply chain rely heavily on the industrial chain. Once the industrial chain has a downward trend in demand and cannot guarantee technological iteration, they will either go bankrupt instantly or immediately sell their technology and leave the market.

Decades have passed, and the advanced technology level represented by the technical data of the year is now a pile of waste paper. If you want to cultivate similar industrial links locally, it cannot be solved by simply spending money.

This is not a big problem. After all, the demand is small, and it can be transported by land and air. So many companies around the world always have substitutes, and at most the purchase price is a little higher.

The real difficulty lies in infrastructure.

With the victory of the Western camp in the conscious confrontation of the R alliance, they drifted away with country A.

A famous comrade once said: “After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals and raise wages, not because of their conscience, nor because they have become good people, but because we have been here.”

The existence of the R alliance forces the world that capital speaks to have to improve itself and enhance the happiness of the people in order to counter the powerful red will that has subverted the history of aristocratic rule for a thousand years.

When she crashed down, there was no reason to maintain that unnecessary happiness.

The manifestation is that GDP has risen casually, fiscal and tax expenditures and debt have increased year after year, and the actual purchasing power of the people more than 100 yuan is considered to be the defeat of the interest group.

Otherwise, what is going on with more and more protests? In the final analysis, wage changes have not kept up with inflation, and dissatisfaction has slowly accumulated.

Most countries in West Central Continent have become a tool for collecting money by consortia. The legendary separation of powers has become the separation of official power, consortia and the media. The media is responsible for chattering with the government and inciting public opinion to oppose policies that the consortium does not need. The consortium, as the beneficiary of the two parties, sits on the ground and collects money, and there is no ordinary person in the middle.

The so-called “good” wealth accumulation mechanism will only become more mature, and a large amount of property will be lost through various unfinished projects, empty shell projects, and empty rates.

When debts are high, and the number one financial expenditure every year is to provide interest to the consortium, the government loses the ability and financial resources to promote public construction. Most areas of West Central Continent have not refurbished railways, highways, and bridges for decades. It is possible to borrow money to repair and repair on the original basis, and most of the buildings are also like this. It is called cultural style, and everyone believes it.

Insufficient infrastructure, so that when you want to increase production, you will find insufficient power supply, insufficient road capacity, insufficient bridge load, insufficient number of heavy trucks, and so on.

The destruction of cities, electrical equipment and transportation by monsters occasionally going ashore has further exacerbated the infrastructure gap.

As a result, after more than a year, the monthly output of tanks in Xizhongzhou was less than two hundred.

The loss of more than two thousand tanks is equivalent to one year of operation with the current production capacity. Whether the overall ground strength can be enhanced depends on the face of the monster.

The bureaucrats are not all fools. However, they have no money. The coordination mechanism of the entire West Central Community is also problematic. Most of the time, they can only watch while arguing.

The people are not all stupid either. They mobilized some people to call on the consortium to provide interest-free loans and donations to all parts of West Central Continent to speed up the construction of production and military coordination capabilities.

It is also wishful thinking.

Many dynasties reached the final stage, and the enemies were slapped in the face. The big businessmen were only willing to donate less than one-tenth of the family property by their own bosses. They all ended up being ransacked by the new dynasty. History has happened more than once, and obviously will be repeated again, they always represent extreme conservativeness.

As long as most of the giant businessmen think they have the ability to evacuate to a safe area at any time, they will never come out with money to save mankind, and a few with a little money will not be able to fundamentally solve the problem.

Turning to August, as the industrial center of West Central Continent, Country G, was hit by a monster for the first time, the situation was already very ugly.

After bombing the monster with a nuclear bomb outside the capital, the power grid in one-third of the G country was paralyzed, the main transportation line was destroyed for tens of kilometers, the tank production chain was completely stopped, the production of some fighter components was stagnated, and the production capacity of vehicles in the whole region was reduced by at least 70%.

The monthly production of tanks has been reduced by 140, and it is expected that a small amount of production can be resumed within two months at the earliest. Including part of the reconstruction of roads and railways, it will take six to eight months to resume production before the attack.

The news is a bolt from the blue for the entire West Central Continent.

Tanks are useless to fight second-level monsters, but they have strong survivability and can be regarded as a very reliable means to deal with small monster groups that have landed in chaos. With the changes in the situation in West Central Continent, there is a tendency for large-scale armed crimes to form everywhere, and it is even more necessary to have the king of land warfare.

Xizhongzhou now has a new profession, the treasure hunter, which is a group of small gangs that search for wealth in cities destroyed by monsters. Most of them are traditional criminals, and some of them are indeed people who live in poverty. Most of them are war refugees who were introduced from Central China in the early years.

The nature of treasure hunters is difficult to define. Half of them will often live in destroyed areas, occupy buildings with undamaged structures, and carry out limited clearance. In the process of digging up treasures, they occasionally rescued a few living people from the ruins of the city. At the same time, they have caused missing persons in related areas. There is not enough evidence in this part to show that it is a common situation.

Most areas of West Central Continent are used to working for eight hours and drinking two hours of afternoon tea. The labor costs are very high, and debts in the entire region are generally exceeding the standard, which prevents them from carrying out urban-scale reconstruction work with extremely high labor costs.

In this case, the treasure hunter is actually an important supplement to the reconstruction ability of the disaster area, and can only turn a blind eye to the possible criminal behavior in the middle.

To levy taxes in relevant areas, or to prevent treasure hunters from suddenly turning into bandit groups to threaten the surrounding areas, military forces are required.

There are even worse situations that have not been revealed for the time being-the inventory of missiles and fighters has decreased.

Although the production lines of missiles and fighters did not suffer devastating blows, they used monsters to consume huge amounts of consumption. Some countries secretly sold them to their former colonies in western Heizhou, so that they fought back and forth, and the inventory of various types of missiles became less and less. The missile reserve of 250 to 500 pounds of warhead is already only 60% of the level before the monster crisis.

In the final analysis, it is also a problem of production capacity. Xizhongzhou’s overall production of fighter aircraft has an average annual delivery of less than 50. No matter how short-term expansion of production is based on this basis, it will not be able to keep up with the loss.

The large-scale power outage in the northwest of country G this time has affected some parts suppliers, which has affected the production of both to a certain extent. Fortunately, the base number is small enough that there are spare parts that will not stop production.

If the situation of the enemy is discovered after the monster comes ashore again, there will probably be problems with the weapon inventory scheduling within West Central Continent.

Now some people are beginning to regret the dismemberment of the UKR military industry.

UKR is part of the R alliance. Because it is adjacent to West Central Continent, it is regarded as a frontier town. In addition to the original advantage of agriculture, it also gathers nearly half of the alliance’s military industry.

After the collapse of the Union, the UKR compradors and the corrupt army who were so poor were traitors to the country.

Half of the aircraft carriers were built, strategic bombers parked on the ground, nuclear bombs, etc. ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Someone said that they wanted to collect scraps, and they hurriedly dismantled them.

Then you demolish it, and there is no threat at all. Do you still have to pay? Is it not good to bribe a comprador to cut the leeks?

Within a few years, a major nuclear industry country has been transformed into a beggar who has lost even the ability to manufacture strategic transport aircraft.

Without nuclear bombs, without the ability to produce heavy weapons and equipment, and kneeling and begging under the cruel international environment, no one would appreciate the bones. The UKR eventually became the poorest country in West China. Women were once again reduced to fertility tools, and they were still cheap. kind.

Nowadays, some people miss the military industry of UKR, like the regret of robbing the bank that too much robbed the bank back then.

But it doesn’t help. The huge shortage of engineering talents in the entire West Central Continent and the infrastructure that has not been followed up for decades have made it impossible for the entire region to support large-scale medium-level military production. Naturally, there is no regret medicine.

Xizhongzhou, which has always followed Country A’s belief in absolute security, is learning to face an absolutely insecure future.

Or just vote for the big bear of country R?
