Chapter 444, The Brave and Expensive Idiot and the Totalitarian of the Rat Empire
The vast armored forces collided together in this yellow sand. In order to adapt to the sky full of yellow sand, the tanks of both the Skaven and the Gerbils have made special improvements. The extremely wide tracks are like ships. Derived subjects, these are all to be able to surge in this yellow sand.
Before they even got close, the two sides began the first round of confrontation. Amidst the roar, shells were pushed out of the barrel one after another.
The Ratmen's tanks are far more powerful than those of the Gerbils. Being advanced and backward is a relative issue. Even though the Ratmen are still using steam engines, this is the situation.
The material science of the Skaven is deeper than that of the Gerbils, as well as the structure. At the same thickness, the Ratmen's armor cast with molds is stronger than that of the Gerbils. Of course, the material science and structure The generation difference is not only reflected in the armor, but at the same time, the armor-piercing bullets are also better than those of the gerbils.
Gerbil tanks often cannot take a single round of Skaven tank shells without exploding violently, but Skaven tanks can only take several armor-piercing rounds from the front before they are completely paralyzed.
Magic energy and steam hybrid engines did not bring the speed and flexibility of the Skaven tank beyond electricity, but materials and structure have indeed become a solid spear and shield in the hands of the Skaven.
Faced with such a situation, this huge armored formation from the war fortress did not flinch at all.
Advancing forward, one nuclear tank after another was destroyed on the sand dunes. Without the intervention of air power, their charge was particularly brutal. Of course, the Running Legion was not afraid.
The left and right are just colliding with each other.
Shouting, shouting crazily on the radio, and firing continuously at the same time, these guys started to get excited. It seems that the madness ability of the rat people has not been inherited by the gerbils. I wonder if Xiaochun thinks that such a violent performance is a kind of Genetic defects.
But it is undeniable that such active madness can make rat soldiers become more courageous.
The armored behemoths on both sides collided with each other with their faces close to each other, almost firing at each other right next to each other.
This is an extremely wasteful tactic.
The regular tactics of tanks are not used in this way, but now, no one can control it so much. The sharp roar with red eyes, and then running unscrupulously, has always been the old tradition of the rat people.
What's crazy is that these gerbil nuclear tanks are equipped with electromagnetic rams.
Well, this is even crazier than the rat people. The electromagnetic collision angle bursts with a faint blue light, which has an effect similar to a chainsaw. The moment the tanks on both sides collide with each other, there is a harsh friction sound. The contact points that collided with each other sounded.
This is insane.
The Ratman driver was enraged. With a sharp roar, the high-explosive bomb was stuffed into the gun barrel. He ignored it and detonated it close to him. In the terrifying shock and flames, the sighting equipment and external plug-in devices on the two tanks were almost destroyed. All destroyed.
The electromagnetic collision angle was also damaged. Amidst the harsh roar of the engine, these nuclear energy tanks were pushed back step by step.
The fight was very chaotic and terrible, so chaotic that the military instructors on the First Expeditionary Fleet would be furious when they saw this scene.
The best thing to do now is to retreat, wait for the electromagnetic shock in the sky to dissipate, and wait for the subsequent Skaven warships to break into this area, instead of just grinding meat like this.
Casualties began to soar. These guys were far from being a group of qualified warriors. These were rat warriors who had grown up during interstellar voyages and on the expedition fleet.
Qi couldn't stand it anymore.
A beam of faint blue light broke into the outer space and fell towards the Yellow Sand Star again. The electromagnetic interference created by the nuclear bomb was really fragile and pitiful in such a terrifying energy torrent, and was instantly defeated and destroyed.
The Destroyer fired.
In an instant, the shocking blue light seemed to take away all the light in the world, and most of the enemy's huge legion was swallowed up in an instant.
The violent shock wave set off a huge storm, almost burying everything on the battlefield.
This war is still won by the rat people. The first expeditionary fleet of the rat people floating in outer space watching everything on this planet is the insurmountable mountain for all the gerbils on this planet, the deepest despair.
It's just that the gerbils and the war fortress also got what they wanted. In this wave of impact, most of the armored force of the Running Legion was paralyzed in a very short period of time. The 120,000 ratmen army suffered more than 100,000 casualties. One fifth.
Of course, they are very brave. The gerbils do not get any benefits at all. It often takes three nuclear tanks to replace one steam tank of the gerbils.
The casualties of the gerbils were ten times more than that of the ratmen, and the casualty ratio even exceeded 200,000.
Counting the gerbil troops that were wiped out by one shot from the Destroyer, the gerbil casualties would probably exceed half a million, and that doesn't count the follow-up. This war is not over yet.
But this exchange itself is a loss-making existence.
The Rat Man warship spraying faint blue tail flames passed across the sky, and a series of explosions appeared in the desert in the distance. This huge armored group pulled out from the war fortress and the terrifying infantry, they were afraid that they would be able to escape. One tenth is enough.
But this is still a loss-making business.
The surviving rat warriors had opened the hatch of the tank and started cheering. At this time, the radiation on the field was still extremely high, but it was nothing to the rat people. For these guys, Said that as long as they are not directly facing the center of the nuclear explosion, some subsequent contamination will at most make them have an extra hand on their buttocks and an eye on their back. This is nothing, as long as they lie down and do some Surgery was done and it was cured.
They are the Skaven of the fleet, and their treatment is ridiculously high. They are one of the few troops in the long history of the Skaven who are not pushed to the battlefield involuntarily, and they are also out-and-out young master soldiers.
The surviving guys started cheering on this chaotic battlefield, and the expedition fleet, during which Qi's expression on the console was a bit twisted and unbearable.
One report after another floated to his hand like snowflakes, all containing red data, and the affairs officers reminded him weakly.
If the Destroyer is abused excessively, unimaginable changes may occur to the plate structure on this planet.
To put it simply, we can no longer fire casually.
If the standards are relaxed, the Destroyer can actually be regarded as a star-destroying weapon, but it is not like the Soul Scream and the Dragon of Life, which can destroy the surface ecology of a planet very simply and directly. Instead, everything must slowly collapse under the bombardment of one shot after another.
Of course, the actual load that this planet can withstand is actually very high, but this planet is a reserved place prepared by the rat people for themselves, and they regard this planet as their own backyard.
Would you burn down your house just to kill a bunch of ants?
Now, this dilemma was placed in front of Qi, and it was all because of those guys. Qi looked at the cheering guys on the projection in front of him.
He had to admit that this was the most unique and difficult-to-evaluate army he had ever led.
If they were not rescued, they would probably be devoured by the gerbils in this raid. But if they were rescued, these red-hot data and the sarven officers were careful to consider what they wanted to say. The look was really unpleasant.
A group of idiots who are courageous but not cowardly. A group of idiots who are courageous but not timid but extremely expensive.
"Hey!"
Flag, this old guy who has lived for many years, sighed deeply. At this time.
Shushu sighed.
The Rat Man had no choice but to slow down his advance.
The process of recruiting those wastelanders had to be accelerated. At first, the rat people only planned to use these wastelanders as some militia teams to act as security maintenance, that is, a group of people who would kneel down and kowtow when they saw the ratmen. insect.
The price you have to pay is just some food.
But now, the situation has changed somewhat. The encounter of the Crazy Rush Army, the gap in the source of troops, and the lack of a large number of infantry.
You can't really just let these expensive battleships and rat-men fill the battlefield like dust, and even if you fill them into the battlefield like dust, how long can they be burned?
The air force cannot solve all troubles. Qi can easily destroy all the gerbils and even destroy the surface ecology of the planet. But as long as he wants to occupy the planet, the ground troops, those huge and cheap infantry, will always be cannot be lacking.
Flag is preparing to organize a gerbil infantry regiment to deal with other stubborn gerbil forces that have inherited the legacy of the golden age.
Of course, it's not just this. At the same time, he is going to try to create some aliens that are better to control.
He would not believe these natives. Compared to them, perhaps some more alien natives would be more useful.
For example, those hybrids with rat-human blood.
Flag is not a pure sect. He will not be as extreme as those of the Heretic Tribunal. Of course, to some extent, he is even worse than the Heretic Tribunal.
This decision will bring a lot of trouble and pain to these hybrids, but Qi doesn't care. Qi just wants to create a batch of the most suitable tools in the shortest time.
As for the troubles of these hybrids, their pain?
Don’t forget, Flag is a veteran rat warlord. The rat warlords don’t even take the rat people seriously. Although Flag is far less extreme than his former colleagues, you think he will only possess these. Do you think it's a big deal if you're mixed with a little bit of rat-human blood?
In his opinion, whether they are gerbils or those hybrids about to be born, they are just heretics, natives, and tools. They are tools that can be discarded or even destroyed after use.
Thank you to Koharu for not spreading his power away from the Shenqi Star, otherwise these guys would have an extra tag here, a sacrifice.
Qi simply doesn't care about them, their thoughts, their future, their pain, their possible entanglements, and their struggles, even though the source of all this originated from him.
But will arming these gerbil wastelanders cause problems? Will these guys become rebellious?
Qi is not worried about this problem, because until now, the Skaven have not officially started any construction on the Yellow Sand Planet, and all production capabilities and industries are still limited to the flagship of the First Expeditionary Fleet.
Subsequently, these gerbil legions were incorporated and used the Skaven to provide weapons and equipment supplies. Not only would their commanders and important positions be Skaven, but their resources would also be drawn from the flagship.
In such a situation, what can they use to rebel? As long as they control the supply of ammunition and resources, once they rebel and resources are not replenished, they may not be able to sustain themselves for even half a month.
After Ban made his decision, a large number of ratmen affairs officers began to move.
This series of decisions will be implemented by them. The resources that need to be mobilized, the manpower recruited, the weapons distributed, whether to conduct training, the resources allowed to be used, and the personnel who are about to be arranged will all be discussed among these many affairs officers. The decision-making and thinking are finalized. Soon after, a plan will be sent to Qi. As long as Qi nods, everything will start to work.
As the times progress, the social logic of the Rat People and the operational logic of various departments have become more and more complex, which is not a bad thing.
These rat-man affairs officers were born out of such changes. Obviously, no matter what you are doing, having a group of guys who are dedicated to using their brains can save a lot of trouble.
Of course, this is not without its shortcomings. With the participation of these Skaven Affairs Officers, it is difficult for a large number of centralized strong-armed figures to be born. Now, in the Skaven Empire, there are almost very few people who cannot be replaced. .
Of course, this is not to say that these rat-man affairs officer systems have prevented the birth of powerful figures in the rat-man empire who are greedy and want to capture more. On the contrary, they have accelerated such a process. Now, there is no iron fist in the rat-man empire. The real reason why the character was born was because a more terrifying beast was born.
A true totalitarian who is about to control everything is already sitting on that high throne.
These, all the ratmen affairs officers, those bureaucrats, the busy ratmen, they are all moving forward for one will. They are just cogs riveted to each other in a huge master machine.
Kai is indeed a genius.
Even though it took him a long time to do all this.
