Chapter 6412 A little crisis

"Ah, Mr. Xuande, you are back." Chen Xi said with a strange look on the street after getting off work when he saw Liu Bei looking around and not knowing what he was doing.

  "Oh, Zichuan, I just came back. I chatted with Bao Chu and the others on the way. I felt pretty good. The situation was just like that. Everyone was quite satisfied." Liu Bei saw Chen Xi waving to him and it was okay. It's embarrassing, everyone doesn't know who.

  Anyway, I, Liu Bei, definitely don't skip work as much as you, Chen Zichuan. The eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, besides, I do have something to do today.

  "Put it out?" Chen Xi recalled for a moment after hearing this, and could roughly remember who it was, "As long as it feels okay, I'm afraid it doesn't feel good. Anyway, I tried my best. I hope everything goes well. I can just push it flat in one go, otherwise What follows is trouble.”

  "Are you so unfavorable?" Liu Bei said with a bit of regret, "Let's go and talk to my house. I will tell you about my investigation in the north. You also tell me about your views on the Ganges River." Of course, I can give you my opinion on this matter and the tone first.”

  "The people in the north must be satisfied with us." Chen Xi replied casually, and then followed Liu Bei to Liu Bei's house.

  "That's right. At least the fundamentals are stable. It's just that the polarization on some things is serious. It feels like everyone has some either/or meaning." Liu Bei frowned and said, "But at least they can understand us. They all believe that I can take care of this country."

  "Because of the poor performance of the previous few, we will get bonuses if we do a little better. What's more, we are indeed doing very well. At least I can pat my chest and say that I am better than the previous prime ministers and so on. Much better." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, "At least I really pulled them from eating soil to eating food, and then strived towards eating meat."

  "Hahaha, that's true." Liu Bei said with a smile, and then took Chen Xi into the car. It wasn't that he couldn't walk back, but he would say hello a lot along the way.

  "Most people still have a conscience, and in our era, there are many old people left over from the previous dynasty for comparison. They are the strongest supporters of this era." Chen Xi said very calmly, there are young people There are good things about people, but young people have a fatal drawback, that is, everything I had before I was born is taken for granted.

  This is something that Chen Xi cannot change. Even if he is not proud, he will be helpless in the face of those young people in the future who will take their hard work for granted. But it doesn't matter. There are very few such people in this period. Most people have endured hardships. , will tell them what life was like before, and they will not have that kind of idea unless they have lived in peace for a long time.

  "I have talked with some veterans about the situation on the Ganges River. They have also heard some rumors. Of course, there are some rumors. When they told me, they couldn't say it." Liu Bei said with a bit of laughter and curse. Said, "But if I ask them, they will tell the truth."

  Again, when Liu Bei was talking nonsense with these veterans, there were some things that the veterans knew were not good, but they would not hide it if Liu Bei asked. Therefore, what they learned from the rear channels could at least make Liu Bei aware of this. What are the foundations of a country like.

  "With the prestige accumulated over the years, as well as the credibility and kindness we have always had, if we can't even do this, then we will be a failure." Chen Xi also smiled when he heard this, "But there is such an answer, at least I feel a lot more at ease with the situation on the other side of the Ganges. At least I am worthy of the soldiers on the front line and the generals who follow us."

  When Liu Bei heard this, he slowly stopped smiling, "After doing so much, are you still not optimistic about the situation in Ganges?"

  Chen Xi said all day long that he didn't know how to fight, but Liu Bei knew very well that Chen Xi was just talking and didn't want to interfere. The earliest and biggest battles under Liu Bei's rule, the Ping Huang Jin and the Ping Qingzhou were all fought by Chen Xi.

  From Liu Bei's point of view, you can ridicule Chen Xi's troop formation as being too rigid, but if you want to say that Chen Xi does not understand the strategic situation, you are just kidding.

  But Chen Xi's too rigid formation, combined with Chen Xi's resources at hand, is enough to defeat most famous generals.

  In the one-on-one war chess game with Huangfu Song, although Chen Xi consciously failed to show off, the ones Huangfu Song took were from the Three Rivers and Five Schools that put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion. They were said to be the top schools that could smash all the gadgets on the map. The soldiers were matched with Huangfu Song, but Chen Xi killed Huangfu Song by hammering him to death for [-] yuan.

  It's not that this person doesn't know how to fight, it's that this person only needs to achieve this level, and the rest is enough to defeat the opponent with his invincible logistics. How much other skills he knows has little meaning to him.

  It is true that Huangfu Song and others are far superior to Chen Xi in terms of command and dispatch, but Chen Xi's rigid mobilization method, combined with the logistics equipment that only he can provide, is enough.

  Just because Huangfusong's command can kill people with a gun, you can't deny that Chen Xi's ability to kill people by washing the ground with arrows is a problem. You can just say that they are dead or not.

  In the past, Liu Bei was still obsessed with these things, thinking that Chen Xi might not be good at commanding, but as his horizons gradually broadened, Liu Bei realized that Chen Xi's method also had merits. It can only be said that everyone was not on the same point of view from the beginning. .

  After having this understanding, some of the strategic and tactical assessments mentioned by Chen Xi have to be considered, because after having this understanding and judgment, we can no longer continue to think that Chen Xi does not know how to fight. On the contrary, Chen Xi understands this very well. , but his ideas and angles are different from normal command.

  "A mere rat excrement ruined the situation." Chen Xi was somewhat helpless, "I believe that most generals are fine in this regard. There is nothing to say that they are selfish. Everyone is Yes, but it can be controlled under the overall situation, and our rules have always been there, and there are very few people who really dare to break the bottom line."

  If there were more people who dared to break through the bottom line before, and things like people's hearts and morals were once opened, more and more people would take this step, but now Liu Bei has given steps and taken If enough benefits come out, people who haven't taken that step will basically not take that step.

  For the collective, some things are doomed, but for the individuals in the collective, if some things have not been done, there is still room for redemption.

  The reason why Chen Xi chose to disclose the news at this time was because he had some hope of redemption.

  It's just that this kind of behavior is roughly equivalent to making amends after a desperate situation, and there must be some people who can't be saved.

  "The main reason is that I don't know who will become a small part." Liu Bei sighed and said. He wanted to know who would become a small part. Now he goes to find the other party in person and talks to them one by one. It can definitely be saved. This is confidence. He still has it.

  But here's the problem, no one knows who will definitely take that step, but Liu Bei knows very well that someone who can do it will definitely appear.

  "Anyway, I tried my best. Let's look at the Ganges River next. If you lose, you lose. It's just for a while." Chen Xi said as calmly as possible, but Liu Bei could feel that Chen Xi was depressed. Originally, Yuan Feng Ten years are definitely coming to an end.

  "It's okay. When something happens, the new middle-level generals will take over. When I was investigating in the north and chatting with local veterans, I could actually hear some overtones. Not all generals want to stay. Local." Liu Bei tried his best to boost Chen Xi's morale. He didn't have a good way to do this, but he had a strong foundation and could withstand this kind of torment.

  After most of the retired generals returned to their places, they actually didn’t really want to go to the battlefield again, but there were always some veterans who couldn’t stay idle. They were quite happy when they retired, but felt uncomfortable after coming back. Based on the current situation of the Han Dynasty, The base of veterans is actually quite large.

  "Hey, it's snowing." Chen Xi nodded first after hearing this, and then suddenly noticed the snowflakes starting to appear outside, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The winter in Chang'an is still very cold these days. It should have snowed more than a month ago, but this year the three empires played a bit hard, causing climate problems around the world. The Gan and Shi families also reported The disastrous weather that may occur this year is on the one hand the dry and cold winter, and on the other hand the beginning of winter snow, which means that the snow disaster is coming.

  "I see that the official document issued by Chang'an said that the winter snow has started, does that mean a snow disaster?" Liu Bei looked at the fluttering snowflakes outside, closed the car door again, and asked with a bit of surprise.

  "Well, that's most likely the case, and my mental talent also has feedback in this regard. However, this year is much better than the year before last. There was almost no preparation that time. This time, including the south, everything was done in advance. Be prepared, many southerners have also purchased furs or down jackets in advance." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, someone really froze to death that time two years ago.

  "This kind of disastrous climate, I heard that different types of disastrous weather may occur next year and the year after that?" Liu Bei was helpless when he heard this. Chen Xi's spiritual talent is very strong, but in the face of this kind of climate turmoil across the map, Chen Xi actually doesn't have any good ideas. Compared with normal climate adjustment, this kind of situation is actually more difficult for the country's logistics support system.

  “In fact, it’s not just next year and the year after that. To be precise, in the next three years, climate changes will occur to varying degrees in various parts of the world, and the manifestations will be different. Of course, this year and next year will affect almost the entire region. Chen Xi shook his head and explained, "Relatively speaking, our side is doing well. At least we are well prepared. The situation in Rome is even worse."

  At this point in time, it should have been the rainy season in Rome, but it didn’t rain at all in Rome this year.

  At what was supposed to be the rainy season, all of Rome, except for a few areas, had not seen rain for more than two months. There was even a civil war within Rome. Chen Xi was dumbfounded when he saw the intelligence delivered by the insider. The Roman Empire was carrying After the African Beast Tide, Evil God Symbiosis, Lord of All Spirits, and the Nordic Shadow World, are we going to die in a civil war now?
  Of course it's not such an exaggeration, but it hasn't rained for two months, and the barbarians have rebelled directly. Now there are more than a dozen provinces in Rome that are said to be at war. Thanks to Roman citizens, they can still fight. Otherwise, I'm afraid it would be over at this time. The whole country is rebelling against the king.

  In short, the situation in Rome was incredible, much more outrageous than during the previous foreign wars.

  Liu Bei's face kept twitching as he listened to Chen Xi's explanation of the situation in Rome. However, thinking about the rainy season when it was time to farm and wait for God to rain for two whole months without rain, it was normal for the Romans to rebel.

  "It has nothing to do with us, right?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

  After all, there are only these three things in the world, and the rebellion in Rome is so outrageous that it has spread to more than a dozen provinces. Liu Bei is somewhat worried about whether there are elements of his Han Dynasty in this, after all, he is inciting others to rebel. , this is the specialty of the family.

  "I don't know, but the root cause must be related to us. The hydrology and climate scholars in Rome seem to have realized it now." Chen Xi thought about the Central Asian families and felt that those people did not dare to challenge Rome head-on, but they did They really dare to cause trouble, and they must do it very secretly. Even if they are discovered, they can still say that this is their normal ecological habits.

  But if you really want to say it, the current state of Rome has little to do with the Han family. It is mainly because of the Blazing Sky Ring. The scholars in Rome who are doing research on materials are also aware of this.

  "No wonder you said strategic weapons cannot be used on the surface." Liu Bei touched his chin and said.

  "The power is too great, and many subsequent steps will be difficult to recover from." Chen Xi said helplessly, "But it is not completely incapable of being used on the surface. After the construction of the second layer of the Nine Heavens Tower is completed, we plan to try it in Australia. , pull up a horizontal mountain range over the central desert, try planetary transformation technology, and see if we can turn that side into fertile soil."

  This is currently the lowest-cost planetary transformation technique, and if successful, it will most likely transform Australia's deserts into fertile farmland. The only drawback is that Chen Xi cannot determine what impact this will have on the Pacific circulation.

  But it doesn't matter. If the impact is really too outrageous, then use planetary terraforming to pull out the horizontal mountains. Can the planetary terraforming technique mastered by humans really be such a troublesome thing?
  "Can that side also become fertile land?" Liu Bei said with great interest. Most people in the Han Dynasty in Australia regard it as a fringe area of ​​the empire. Although the area is really large, it is larger than the original Han Dynasty. It’s even bigger, but if you can’t plant fields, then it’s meaningless.

  As for the hundreds of millions of kangaroos above, how should I put it? If Australia were an alluvial plain the size of the Ganges River, hundreds of millions of kangaroos would have been crushed by now.

  After all, no matter what, even if the kangaroo becomes a spirit, it cannot be more difficult to defeat than Kushan.

  A large part of the reason why those kangaroos are allowed to jump around in Australia is that after careful investigation by Han Dynasty investigators, they found that there is no way to farm in Australia, at least in most places. For a farming nation, Land that cannot be farmed loses most of its value, so the people in Jiangdong only mine in Australia, and there is insufficient motivation for development.

  If it were really fertile land, those losers in Jiangdong could at least show some fighting power to fight the kangaroos, or even worse, they could fight the kangaroos to the death.

  Liu Bei was more or less aware of these things. After all, how could Liu Bei not be interested in such a big piece of land like Australia? It was just because he couldn't farm, so he wasn't very interested. But now Chen Xi said that the Nine Heavens Tower could transform Australia and make it a Liangtian, then I am really interested.

  "Planetary-level weapons themselves have this function, but if they can't be used like this on the surface, it's better to use them elsewhere. We all have the ability to use this thing now, but we don't have the ability to control the aftermath." Chen Xi said helplessly , "The climate problem in the past three years is actually caused by the Blazing Sky Ring. Rome is now swallowing it with all its teeth."

  "If Nine Heavens Tower is used to build mountains in Australia in a destructive way in the future, no one knows what impact it will have on the planet's climate. The only thing that is certain is that it can indeed change Australia's climate and turn the central desert into Fertile farmland." Chen Xi said seriously.

  "Then you can give it a try when peace comes. It's better to have undeveloped fertile land and hold it in your own hands than not." Liu Bei said with a bit of greed. At this time, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and they were falling like goose feathers. .

  "It seems that there is indeed a snow disaster." Liu Bei took a piece of snowflake that was three to four centimeters in size and fell into silence. If it snows in this way, then it is a ghost if there is no snow disaster.

  "It's okay. At least I don't have to worry about the locust plague next year. I can rely on supplies to withstand the snow disaster in advance. But there is really nothing I can do about the locust plague." Chen Xi replied with a calm expression.

  Chen Xi has read the official documents reported by various places, as well as some official documents on locust prevention and control. Considering that there has been no snowfall before winter, there is a high possibility of locust plague next year. However, with the heavy snow now, locust eggs should be frozen. Most of them will die. At least the biggest problem next year should be solved. As long as there is no problem with food, Chen Xi can find a way to solve many things.

  "Speaking of which, since there is turmoil in Rome and it is due to drought, how will their food be solved?" Liu Bei asked with some curiosity.

  "On the one hand, they are increasing their efforts to extort money from Egypt and the provinces along the Black Sea. It is said that the local areas are starving." Chen Xi thought for a while and said, "On the other hand, they rely on eating meat."

  By the way, out of humanitarian concerns, Chen Xi also asked Media to provide some food. However, the long journey was blocked by Duke Ganassis of the Eastern Province, and the Eastern Province occupied the two rivers. There is no shortage of food in the basin, but transportation difficulties...

  I got up late, I'll see if I can come out tonight and do a sideshow for the boss.
