"Is this really okay?" Franka looked at the pile of resumes piled up into a hill. Several strong men of the Fengshou tribe were carrying the file baskets. Buried by shredded paper like snowflakes.

"It should be, the two of us are professionals." Razer is very confident. As a person who wants to open her own PMC, she needs work experience, contacts and money very much, and the current Xia Group security company can provide them. she.

Therefore, when faced with the temptation of a 70% increase in net income, Razer, which came here purely for money, dragged Franka to resign from Heigang—as a worker—and when she entered the job, of course it was me It's for the company's culture, to train myself. After joining the job, of course it's about money. Isn't coming to work for money? Otherwise, can it be for dreams?

Who the hell would come to Heigang for the sake of dreams!What's more, dreams need money to come true!Therefore, Xia's Group, which was straightforward about money, naturally attracted Razer, who came purely for money.

Moreover, people can also accumulate contacts here, and she is not stupid at Thunder Snake. Although Heigang has a wide network of contacts, most of them are shared by managers and management. Without her share, it is different here. Ning For the head of the chicken, not for the tail of the phoenix.

Fat Fox and Thunder Snake have the same purpose, but the newcomer Jessica is not here for money. As a rich woman who is on par with Shi Huaiya, she is here for her dreams and to train herself. Although Black Steel can train herself—— But the problem is: Heigang belongs to her family~ The eldest lady of the company has joined the company, do you dare to assign dangerous heavy work to her?Do you still want to be a manager?

This caused Jessica to gain experience and gradually grow up until she joined Rhodes Island as a black steel commissioner.And clearly informed that there are a lot of field work that needs to be spread all over the security department of the Xia Group from Usas to Kazdale, so the eldest lady of Heigang was attracted to come, just in time to meet Miss Razer who resigned together, so the three of them went together I submitted my resume.

Two days later, Jessica was the first to receive a resume reply asking her to go to the group training ground for review and interview, because her specialty is good at guns, especially hand guns, and the main weapon of the security department is guns and hot weapons. Razer also received a response. She is good at shields and anti-riot combat skills. She belongs to the group's most lacking heavy equipment operator, and she is good at urban and street fighting and riot suppression.

On the contrary, Franke barely made it to the shortlist a few days later when she was recruiting again, and it was not the security department, but the process department of the machining subsidiary who had taken a fancy to her thermite process, and the security department also felt that she would The operators who broke through the thermite just formed a standard three-person breakthrough team, so they reluctantly recruited more.

There was nothing to talk about in the interview, and soon the three of them successfully entered the job and received the full set of uniforms and equipment in the advertisement. "I have to say, the aesthetic level is really not good." Like the snow monster uniform, it looks like the whole body is shrouded in the costume , and very simple, without the bells and whistles of ordinary PMCs, more like the clothes of travelers and scavengers in the wilderness.

"However, the protection performance is very good. On the battlefield, protection is more important. Wearing fancy clothes will only make you a target for snipers." Franka interrupted Razer's complaint, "Check the issued equipment, familiar with the They, I don’t want to be caught by the trainer as a model on the first day of work.”

"Kach~ The structure of the gun is completely different. It seems that this device is used to stimulate the memory of the origin stone, generate instantaneous high-temperature melting material, and form an expanding plasma to propel the ammunition." Jessica is not only the eldest lady, but also a special agent of black steel Members and weapons experts, the newly issued "Tiger Bee" pistol in their hands has been disassembled and assembled skillfully.

Jessica's shooting talent is not very good, but you can't stand her. She is a rich woman who can buy several large boxes of bullets with snack money. Sharpshooters are fed by bullets, and Jessica is such a hardworking type rather than talent Type sharpshooter.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The black-faced instructor knocked on the door of the locker room, "I said, you three, don't dismantle the equipment, if it is damaged, the logistics maintenance department will come and kill you, change the equipment and go to the training department quickly Assemble, I don't care which mercenary group, which organization or company you were in before, and what kind of bluffing nickname you have, here, you are all recruits, understand?"

"understand!"

"Very good, be quick with your hands and feet, don't really be like a new melon egg that you haven't met before." The instructor nodded and left. He is a standard Vairi, hired from Victoria with a high salary, and the recruited this time The security personnel are mainly Sarkaz and Waili, there are also a small amount of Filin, and two small deer from Sami.

They are all veterans and retired veterans from various combat groups. The reason they came to apply for the job was as mentioned above-a lot of money, good treatment, and excellent equipment. Why didn't they come?

The Xia Group has successfully tripled the employment cost of the PMC market by itself, because without the triple salary, their basic force would have to run away. Although they are all low-level employees, the problem is-there is no New blood replenishment, this business can't be done.

A three-fold increase in labor costs means a five-fold increase in prices, which means a substantial increase in logistics costs in the entire market. In order not to arouse public outrage, Amiya Logistics also increased the consignment price accordingly.

But the problem is that most of his escort costs are false, leading VI to come to a new conclusion—that is, to improve employee benefits and engage in this type of loss-making war that draws wages from the bottom of the tank, and can gain more than ten times the huge profits.

In addition, the chain reaction is that the cost of Longmen manufacturing industry and even the manufacturing industry in Dayan and surrounding areas has begun to increase unstoppably, and the increase in cost will either increase the price of goods, or lower wages, lower wages, and workers cannot afford the price increase. After the price increases, the goods cannot survive at all, and the decline in purchasing power means that the goods cannot be sold after the price rise.

An economic crisis and the Great Depression are gradually approaching, and in this storm, as a self-sufficient group that "distributes consumer goods to employees if they cannot be sold", the Xia Group will also suffer considerable trauma, but the problem is that it Compared with the impact, it was just a flesh wound.

As long as Shi Huaiya didn't return her family education to her father and bought bankrupt companies at a low price, she didn't need any technical content at all to become the uncrowned king of Longmen—and Lao Wei would have to beg her to buy it at a low price, otherwise it would be true. It collapsed to the end.

And if the economic crisis and depression in Longmen triggers a chain reaction and snowballs to other cities, then a world war on Terra will enter the fuse stage, and Lao Xia, who doesn't know about it, is piling up powder kegs, And holding a torch ready to set fire to the wilderness...

Chapter 65 Tutu is driving.......

Lao Xia was organizing manpower to trim water storage stations and dig qanats, and the nobles of Kazdel were not idle. He occupied the northernmost barren land and cultivated an oasis, and he did not hide it from those nobles. Of course , can't hide it.

In the northern Kasdales, apart from oasis agriculture, most of the productive activities are plundering and grazing, or a combination of the two.

The control area of ​​the Sarkaz nobles in North Kazdale is not a clear boundary like a normal sovereign country, but a state of canine teeth, and even penetrates each other.

For the nomadic way of life, as long as you don't enter the other party's oasis area, it is a mess. If you come and go, as long as you don't collide with each other, nothing will happen. However, farming is different. A neat piece of farmland is Clear demarcation line.

For the surrounding tribes, they used those young seedlings as pasture, and they didn't even intend to trade or negotiate, so they directly started destroying crops, grazing cattle and sheep in the fields, and even digging drip irrigation pipes to replenish water.

For these herdsmen, in their understanding, this land is also a place where they often graze. On the contrary, the other party opened a field here without notifying them at all.

After discovering that such destructive behaviors did not cause any counterattacks and consequences, the tribal nobles began to move around - in the desert, being weak means being bullied, and most of the workers are women, children and the elderly. This clearly reveals an aura of "weakness".

In the desert, it is the original sin for the weak to still have so much wealth, and then again, these farmlands are constantly expanding to their side. Become the second prey on the wilderness.

However, the group from Longmen still made the nearby tribes a little uncertain, not sure whether they would be retaliated against, or whether they would be able to escape unscathed after completing a looting.

Located in Kazdale Farm, 1 kilometers away from Oasis No. 16, "Father, the leaders of the surrounding tribes have arrived, and we can't delay any longer!" The young Sarkazma bandit opened the king's tent and came in, "Those are just cowardly farmers. , a group of slaves, they are no match for our mighty warriors at all."

However, the old chief looked at this reckless son indifferently, "Of course lambs are no match for hungry wolves, but have you ever seen a flock of sheep guarded by a shepherd so freely in the wilderness? A hungry wolf can tear the neck of a lamb." , may not be able to defeat the shepherd's bow and arrow, if you are not careful, even the wolf king will be killed by the shepherd dogs guarding the flock."

Is the Kazdale Desert some kind of tender place?Those farmers are of course cowardly slaves, but since these slaves dared to leave the oasis so far to reclaim the wasteland and possess so much wealth, don't they have guard dogs behind them?

"How fat the lambs are, how big and white the flocks are, like clouds that don't eat the fireworks of the world, it means how vicious the dogs that guard them are." This is Kazdel's iron law.

There is no room for tenderness and kindness in this land, a group of rich serfs, no one would believe that they are free, and there is no master behind them, and since the master let the sheep go so far away from him, so carefree, it shows that he There is a large group of powerful shepherd dogs around.

"Shepherd dogs, when my sons robbed them before and ate their green shoots and destroyed those evil pipes, they didn't see any shepherd dogs. They were just a flock of sheep, like the yellow sheep around the oasis. Sheep, they migrated from other places, thinking that they have occupied a place with rich water and grass, so they reproduce wantonly." The young Prince Sarkaz waved his hand impatiently, after several previous successful attacks, this guy obviously did not Put those women, children, and the elderly with low combat effectiveness in your eyes.

"Well, it's not impossible."

After all, the tribes of Sarkaz migrated very frequently, appearing and dying out frequently. If this is a bird from the south that had to give up the pasture due to the failure of the war, it moved around this oasis with the remaining wealth, women and children. The possibility is not impossible.

For the Kazdel tribe, which is still in a nomadic state, there is no modern Originium communication equipment, and they don't even know about the companies of the Xia Group and Longmen. The contacts in Kazdel were only contacted through the Scourge messenger.

Even so, the unlucky guy who was killed by the looters didn't know what Xia's Group and Rhodes Island Company were. In his eyes, Rhodes Island was the former Demon King's Court, and what Xia's Group was probably It's just a big tribe loyal to the royal court.

And to a certain extent, the origins of the Sati tribe are basically the same. As Theresia's supporters, they were exiled by Theresia after the war and fought with the tribes in the north along the way, losing quite a few young and strong soldiers. Only then did he accept Lao Xia's proposal. Of course, because of this, he was targeted by looters as soon as he found an oasis, and almost wiped out his family.

The difference between the north and the south of Kazdale is very large. The places near the mountains are relatively well developed because of the mining industry. Those tribes mostly rely on caves to avoid natural disasters. They have formed migratory towns with shops, simple industries and modern equipment. For The world also has a relatively normal cognition.

On the grassland further south, it is a developed area of ​​Sarkaz, basically reaching the level of the generally backward city-states of Ursas. There are mobile modules, industrial modules, and relatively modern equipment, and the production is relatively stable.

However, in the northern desert, this is the world of horse bandits, looters, herdsmen and slaves. The tribesmen and even the leaders of the tribes lack much understanding of the entire Terra world, because just to survive here requires Trying their best, they no longer have the energy to think about what is outside this birdcage.

If all human beings are regarded as a race of Terra, then the difference in the development of human beings on Earth covers everything from the Stone Age to the Information Age. People living in New York can know any new things in the world, while the stone tribes living in Africa can’t even The copper mining city 20 kilometers away does not know.

Therefore, for the Sarkaz people, this is also consistent. They are a race, but in fact they don’t think so internally. They actually have many tribes and are divided into many regions, each with its own characteristics and development progress.

If you use a more visual distinction, the angle of W is curved forward, which is a typical Sarkaz in the Longnan Desert. Mercenaries, looters, criminals, and smugglers are synonymous with them.

And the straight and upward branched horns of the mudstone are the royal blood of Sarkaz, who live in the central and south-central regions, and even the horns of W are divided into hers, which are almost flush with the forehead, like cockroaches. Structural, and with a certain inclination—basically, Sarkaz can tell which tribe or ethnic Sarkaz he is from just by looking at it.

Sarkaz's horns are basically the same as a person's ID card through the shape, bending angle, degree of curvature, and the angles of the horns, while the horns of women and children working in Lao Xia's farm are mostly right angles like mudstone. This shows that they are indeed losers who migrated from the south or the center.

"Father, don't hesitate any longer!"

"Okay, hold a tribal meeting and invite those chiefs." Finally, after thinking for a long time, the chief agreed to the plan. This time it was a joint action by several tribes in the north, and his tribe was the largest here, so it was eligible to initiate League.

At the same time, on the farm side, a considerable number of young and middle-aged people have gone to the snow-capped mountains to dig waterways. The defense here is indeed very empty, which has led to the looting of these nomads from time to time these days, the fields are destroyed and trampled, and the irrigation pipes Being dug up, a lot of seedlings and water were wasted.

Of course, most of the opponent's actions were successful. This is also the source of the confidence of the young Sarkaz leader, and it is also a survivor's bias, because those who failed were too greedy and bumped into the farm guard cavalry who came to support them. Hands - all turned into farmyard manure - of course the dead can't go back and report the martial arts of the guards here.

And similarly, when counting losses, these basically illiterate Sarkaz people also committed a classic "Simpson's paradox". Loo, more than 100 people came back.

However, if you look at the losses of each tribe separately, you will come to a conclusion that is completely opposite to the general trend, that is, any squad that encounters the enemy is completely wiped out, and no one alive escapes. It shows that the combat effectiveness of the opponent is at the crushing level, and it can be regarded as annihilation rather than defeat, but the opponent's strength is not enough to divide the troops, resulting in little overall loss.

In contrast, the cavalry team that only encountered serfs suffered very slight losses, and the occasional losses were also plotted by those strong women with steel farm tools. Sarkaz women are not the kind of delicate girls who mention metal farm tools It can also blow some people's heads off.

"Can these gerbils still work? Press down on the east side, and they will pop up again on the west side. Can't they finish killing them?" The hats in the hands of the Sarkaz guard cavalry were all pinched into a ball, and he asked his men to catch them All the looters were hanged, and no one was left alive. These guys are still everywhere as if they came out of the ground.

The scope of the farm is too large, which makes the people in his hands exhausted.

"Good news, boss!"

"Good news? What good news, don't tell me how many looters you have killed. That kind of thing has no meaning at all, and they are not afraid at all."

"No, we detected the other party's large army, and it was at a campsite two days away from us."

"Pull people up and trample them to death!" The leader of the guards was so angry that he needed to vent his anger.

"No, there are too many opponents. If we take the initiative to attack, we will not be able to beat them!"

"As for the union of seven or eight tribes, there are two big tribes. The looters before were all from small tribes who went it alone. They could at least gather three thousand horsemen." This is already impossible in the desert. A force to be underestimated.

The real cavalry costs a lot. Even if it is this kind of horse herding in peacetime and looting in wartime, if the combat force of 10 cavalry can be assembled, it means that the total population of this union exceeds [-].

Because a warrior on horseback needs at least 5 slaves to feed, plus his family members and children, a tribal union of at least 3 people is needed to have this scale.

Not to mention, this refers to the lowest-level warriors, not counting the richer warriors, there are also warlocks and shamans who are not warriors, messengers and clerks of the king's account, and those high-level military leaders And the chief, they alone have dozens of hundreds of slaves, so the total population counts at least 10 women and children—this is already a fairly large tribal union.

Therefore, in ancient times, annihilation of more than 1 grassland cavalry troops at one time meant that half of the grassland nomadic forces were emptied. Those with more than 2 people were all slaves and herdsmen. The real combat cavalry was at most 3 to 30 , Completely wiped out in one battle, and dared not go south to herd horses for [-] years, because literally all the young and strong soldiers were wiped out.

"Can we just wait for them to take the initiative to attack?"

"That's what the boss said. The boss is determined to completely clear this area and occupy their oasis." At this time, Lao Xia's reinforcements are on the way, and it depends on who arrives first.

Once these tribes are cleaned up, it means that half of the Longnan desert is in his hands, and the next step is normal farming. When the autumn desert and the southern caravan arrive, they can start shipping goods for economic massacres.

When the massacre is almost complete, you can start to expand southward, pave all the way along the trade road, and finally take down the entire North Casdale, and then stop when you push to the central mountain range, and call Rhodes Island over.

Lao Xia has no intention of establishing a political power. There are too many things to worry about in a country, especially the rule of foreign races, which is too easy to arouse rebellion. In contrast, Rhodes Island is more suitable for this kind of thing.

After that, the entire South Kasdale was ordered purely by economic means. Most of the northern side relies on machetes, and the south is not suitable. After all, you can’t transfer the successful experience of Somalia to the South China Sea.

The "General" flag fell, and the doctor folded his hands in front of him, looking at Kelsey in front of him, who frowned and looked at the chessboard. At this time, it was still very early for the general, "Don't look, your next strategy There are three ways, and I have nine ways to checkmate within ten moves, nine ways, starting from this step, you can't come back."

"Well, that's true." Kelsey frowned, "So, there is nothing that can be changed?"

"Yes" the doctor reached out and lifted his "king" and threw it into the chess box, "This is the way."

"This is not the way of 'chess players'."

"But is he playing chess with you? Chess player? Heh~" the doctor sneered and shook his head, "You think you are playing chess, a chess player, but your opponent thinks you are playing gophers, and Holding the hammer, guess, this chess game, is it you, an excellent chess player, who wins, or the one who doesn't play chess with you at all, but chooses to smash your entire chessboard with a hammer?"

"So, the only way is that you have to deal with him in a way that you are not a chess player, such as removing his king entirely, so the question now is: can you do it?"

"No, no, after all, the king is the weakest piece on the chessboard"

"It's also the strongest. As long as the king is still there, he can't lose, and the most is a draw." The doctor cleaned up the chessboard, "You can't pick his king, but he can play checkers with you with chess pieces, and take all your pieces. Take off one by one, and even become your own."

"To play chess, you have to make sure that your opponent is a chess player, and secondly, you have to make sure that the opponent is playing the same kind of chess as you." The doctor sighed, and when he woke up, the changes were so surprising.

"Moreover, his chessboard is not even the one in front of you." The doctor thought for a while, "Don't underestimate the extraterrestrial visitors. You may know the outer world, but you don't think you understand the gap between the two."

"Even the ancestors?"

"No," the doctor replied decisively, "Don't ask me if I can crack this technology. If you can go back in time, maybe I can give you an answer, but now, no." What about the ark, and speaking of the ark, the doctor looked up at the sun, slightly blocking the light.

"Kalsey, contact that visitor from space, let him come to me when he is free, I have something to show him"

"Boss Xia doesn't necessarily have such leisure time"

"If you say a word to him, he will understand."

"what?"

Doctor "Helium Flash" thought for a while, "If he asks you the time, then tell him this series of numbers, he will understand, and he will definitely come back."
