Chapter 1329: The war is about to begin, and people on Earth never talk about "credit"!
Going straight to the core of inflation, there are nothing more than three main factors.
First, driven by economic stimulus policies or quantitative easing monetary policies, the money supply has increased significantly, leading to currency depreciation and price increases.
Second, when market demand exceeds the existing supply level, prices will be pushed up, triggering inflation.
Third, an imbalance in the industrial structure or insufficient total supply causes manufacturers' costs to rise. For example, increased labor wages or rising prices of production factors lead to an increase in commodity costs, which in turn drives up prices.
The five million copper coins that need to be paid for this war belong to the first type in Zero's opinion.
The issuance of a large amount of currency will greatly impact prices, causing many daily necessities to be continuously pushed up by extremely strong demand, making ordinary people who did not participate in the war become victims.
The money in their hands will continue to depreciate and their purchasing power will continue to decline, eventually leading to bad consequences.
But in reality?
With a cup of hot tea in his hand, Sumo came to the observation platform on the top of the first floor of the shelter and looked towards Hope Town in the distance.
Recently, he likes to stand here and look out, watching the town in the distance becoming more prosperous day by day, and more and more new people joining in have happy and reassuring smiles on their faces.
This is not much different from what he expected half a year ago, or even better.
But after watching it for a long time, Sumo always felt that the current development was still too slow.
Especially when thinking about the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins, the current speed is even ridiculously slow.
Obviously the Tianyuan territory today is more powerful than the Tianyuan in the future ruins, with more than ten times the military force. The number of active soldiers exceeds 10,000, and the economy is healthier. A huge Tianyuan Alliance has been formed, and China Unicom A blue star city with over two million people.
But the gap between the two is constantly widening, and now it has reached about five times.
And just in the next six months, this speed will quickly increase to a hundred times, or even an even more exaggerated one thousand times!
It does sound incredible, but this is the key reason why humans can almost eliminate alien races in the ruins of the future.
When the extremely oppressive identity system is implemented by the super-territorial alliance, when the exploitation is carried out step by step on every ordinary person.
The speed at which large territories earn resources will reach an unprecedented and terrifying speed.
Quantify with a specific number.
In a territory with hundreds of thousands of people, the materials exploited from the outside world every month can reach between two and five times its own GDP.
In territories with more than one million people, this number will rise to between five and eight times.
That is, if there are 10 million people in a territory, the total amount of materials exploited from outside every month will reach the gross product value of nearly 100 million people.
What a huge and terrifying number this is!
Not to mention that the Tianyuan Territory at that time also developed energy machines that sold well in the wasteland, creation technology that transformed the human body, and various advanced energy stone products. The speed of making money was undoubtedly even more terrifying.
The resources Tian Yuan in the ruins earned in two years were enough to build seventeen cities, large and small, and they all started at the county level.
A majestic pass that can accommodate a hundred thousand people was built, reaching the direction of the dwarves of all countries.
The troops under his command support nearly 200,000 soldiers, and the weapons and equipment specifications are all in accordance with the top-notch configuration in the wasteland.
There are also various technological research and development, and I don’t know how much manpower has been burned into it.
As Chen Shen said, there is motivation only when there is pressure.
The Tianyuan territory that lost the human Su Shen never relaxed for a moment and squeezed its potential to the limit.
But looking back now, perhaps because the area of the New World continues to expand, or perhaps because of the changes in disasters, Tianyuan is really too striving for stability.
“If we don’t distribute money ruthlessly, the elderly will not dare to spend money at all, and newcomers will have no place to make money.”
“With the economy not flowing smoothly, it will be difficult to develop various industries.”
A gentle cold wind blew across the earth.
Su Mo took a sip of hot tea, and the rich and sweet tea flowed down his throat, bringing a sense of warmth.
Such peace may be what many survivors and territories are struggling to pursue.
But for Tianyuan now, it is indeed a bit too luxurious.
It took more than half a month to prepare the expedition supplies, but only took more than half a day to assemble the manpower.
This is due to the current streamlined administrative structure, where any order is communicated almost end-to-end, point-to-point.
From registration to screening, each department was very efficient, and the shortlist was given out in the afternoon.
Nearly 35,000 people chose to sign up, and 7,000 people were finally selected.
In fact, if there are no restrictions on the level of the route or allowing life professions to participate in this expedition, the number of people who will eventually pass the screening should be at least 20,000 to 30,000.
“These are enough. If more people pass by, our logistical pressure will be great!”
A smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and Sumo nodded with satisfaction.
The total number of registered Tianyuan Army soldiers in active service has reached 10,127. It is worth mentioning that this number does not include the two thousand volunteers previously loaned from Pingtan.
However, among this huge team, there are nearly 2,500 recruits who have not yet completed training, or whose training results have not yet reached the passing standards. For these recruits, Sumo decided to let them continue to stay in the territory. Undertake further rigorous training.
At the same time, these people will also assist the guards to jointly guard the border security of the territory and share part of the pressure on the defense line.
Therefore, the number of Tianyuan Army soldiers who can be dispatched quickly to perform tasks is approximately 7,000. If those selected ordinary residents are included, the total number of people that can be mobilized will increase to fourteen thousand.
In addition, all 2,000 volunteers from Pingtan will be dispatched, and soldiers from the two fleets can also provide 1,000 support forces.
Seventeen thousand people.
This number will be the entire force mobilized by Tianyuan Territory for its first external expedition.
In a super territory, having 100,000 people at every turn seems a bit small, but it seems just right to attack the dwarves with calculated calculations and no intention.
Even if there is an accident during the process, you can evacuate quickly without losing your tail.
"Send the letter to the front line."
Sumo said loudly:
"We will arrive tomorrow night to rest and launch a general offensive the day after tomorrow."
"Understood."
The preparations on the front line are sufficient, and the attack plan can be launched only after the army arrives.
Moreover, this war will last for nearly half a month. The initial intensity and strategic tasks are not many, and there is enough time for everyone to adapt to the rhythm of the war.
Lock the door of the manager's office, and also padlock the rest room next door.
Somo stretched his shoulders and took the elevator to the B6 floor.
Open the door of the guard room and enter the dark room inside. The soft light slowly lights up, and the constant-temperature storage compartments that come into view contain exoskeleton armors one after another.
But the most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly the black and gold armor in the central maintenance cabin, which is shining with a mysterious and majestic light under the dim light.
To be honest, Su Mo felt that he must have nothing to do with the general in this life.
Compared to engaging in hand-to-hand combat with people head-on, or going to the battlefield to fight in person, he prefers to stand behind and strategize, controlling everything in the palm of his hand.
But it has to be said that human genes still contain a strong element of violence.
Press the start button, and a long-lasting metallic smell mixed with the smell of engine oil comes out.
Sumo couldn't help but whistle, and his whole body began to get excited. In the future ruins, the alien race took the lead in starting the war and had an absolute advantage.
But now, the key is in his hands.
In the next battle, he will tell the whole wasteland with the flesh and blood of dwarves from all nations.
A war about survival and bottom line is about to begin!
The Red Flower Gang.
The abandoned warehouse in gathering place No. 3, far away from the flow of people, has been transformed into a temporary garrison location.
Some temporary armaments were continuously transported into the warehouse for storage during the night.
It sounds quite interesting, although when the dwarves built the underground railway, they had expected that it would be captured by the enemy and become a tool for the enemy to transport supplies.
But their countermeasures are really pitiful. They only set operating permissions for a few trains. Only after their identities are verified can the trains run normally on the tracks.
The verification method is more crude and requires regular input of the commander's blood.
Catching the weak Demon Soul Clan, Yehu took the dagger without hesitation and stabbed the opponent's thigh. The black blood fell into the collector in the carriage, filling it up and overflowing in a second. out.
"Hey, is this all you need?"
"Holy shit, Mr. Hunter Tiger, why did you stab him?"
walking into the carriage Ji Wuming was startled, he didn't expect the hunting tiger to be so cruel.
"How do I know? You didn't tell me earlier."
Liehu shouted in a low voice and handed the middle-aged man to the soldiers next to him to be captured.
In fact, when he saw the little finger-thick collector, he guessed that he didn't need so many.
But the Demon Soul Clan is too tough-minded, to the point of being unheard of.
In the past two days, he has used all kinds of tricks. In the end, this guy can still bear it calmly. He seems not to be affected by these tortures at all, and he enjoys it very much.
Holy shit, what the hell?
If the homeless people in Qinggang City were so hard-boned back then, wouldn’t they have easily demolished the Qinggang Shelter several times inside and out?
With this kind of willpower, Yehu is completely helpless and can only retaliate in this way.
Boom, boom.
The verification was passed, and a dull sound began to emit from the head of the locomotive, which looked a bit like a steam engine.
However, the two methods of operation are different, and they should use special technology developed by the dwarves.
"What kind of power does this thing use? Why does it feel so retro?"
"It doesn't matter what it uses, as long as it can move."
"How did they build the underground railway? It would be great if we could build one in Qinggang City."
"I heard it was chewed out by monsters, the kind that can eat dirt."
"True or false. Yes, can a monster chew it so well?”
"You are stupid. Let the monster chew it out first, and then you can refine it yourself."
"."
Yihu was studying how to operate the locomotive in the carriage .
As for the subway, which only existed in records, people outside were curiously looking at the internal structure.
Leaving aside the difficulty of building the large platform that everyone is on, just building hundreds of kilometers of culverts more than 30 meters underground is an extremely exaggerated engineering problem.
According to the information Ji Wuming gave one by one in the past two days.
The dwarves naturally do not have large-scale equipment such as shield machines, nor have they developed any super-technical equipment to excavate underground. Instead, they use the simplest method.
They cultivated a special kind of ground-eating lizard.
This lizard is only eight meters long, but it can eat nearly 500 cubic meters of soil a day, enough to carry the load of thirty large garbage trucks.
According to the calculation that each meter of subway line digging will produce about 40 cubic meters of earth, a lizard can dig forward 12.5 meters every day.
At the same time, ground-eating lizards also secrete a special mucus after digesting soil.
Once this slime enters the soil, it will generate cross-sectional tension similar to that of injected concrete, allowing the soil to quickly harden, thereby firmly locking the structural stability of the underground culvert.
About three hundred lizards are digging day and night, and the amount of work in one day can reach four kilometers.
In one month, a hundred kilometers of underground railway can be built.
Of course, this is just a theoretical data value.
In the actual performance of digging, the ground-eating lizard's ability is even more exaggerated than this data, and it can even digest stones and plant roots.
In addition, the soil sprayed by their saliva will quickly soften. With the construction of the dwarf engineering team, the monthly construction volume can be doubled.
The only drawback is that ground-eating lizards eat a lot of soil in a short period of time and are prone to indigestion.
The group of lizards who recently built the Honghua Gang underground railway need to rest for at least a month before they can carry out other engineering tasks.
“From here, it is about two hundred and forty kilometers to the nearest connection point in Black Rock City.”
"There are three checkpoints, which are set up at the 110-kilometer border, the 170-kilometer Black Rock City border and the final Black Rock City checkpoint."
Ji Wuming introduced.
He has been to the dwarves three times and is no stranger to the route. The only difficulty is the complicated inspections he needs to face during the process.
In the past, when the middle-aged man from the Demon Soul Clan took him along, the dwarves did not create any difficulties.
But this time he needs to be in front. How to explain the middle-aged man's failure to follow is the key.
"Are all the people at the checkpoint the same as him?"
Turning his head, Liehu pouted at the place where the middle-aged man had just been taken away.
Ji Wuming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head dumbly.
This guy is really a weirdo. Could it be that he wanted to "persuade" all the way there?
"It's okay, my people will kill them as soon as possible."
"As long as you can stabilize them and don't let them escape immediately or sound the alarm."
A murderous intent appeared on Yehu's face, and then he quickly took it back.
Speaking of which, if the plan hadn't been set up, we had to break into the opponent's interior first and place a bomb, otherwise we could just sit on the subway and kill him all the way.
"Is that so? That's no problem. This is what I'm good at."
Ji Wuming nodded immediately. Since Yehu didn't restrict what methods he could use, the method of operation could be Much more.
Anyway, people on earth never give "credibility" to aliens.
