Chapter 880 Gray Beast
Regardless of the current population of 3 million in the base, in fact most of them are new recruits from the past and cannot be incorporated into the ranks of the regular army. Moreover, the more times this happens, the more trust the base needs to gain from the fresh blood injected into it. It is impossible. Large-scale conscription or opening up lines to private armed forces.
Otherwise, the base would not send out all the pandas and nightingales to perform such an official mission.
The previous fierce battle with the vanguard of this bandit gang caused the base to have more than one-third of the casualties. The raid was launched during the repair and mobilization period, which led to strategic misjudgments and decision-making errors by Zong Gou and others, and even the embarrassment of being dumped. Condition.
Theoretically, this is the first time that the base has come into contact with a large group of marauders wandering on the orbital line. It has little experience. Besides, who can imagine that such a super marauding group with a number of hundreds of thousands of people will appear?
For example, under normal circumstances, the territory of a wild Siberian tiger usually covers an area of hundreds or even thousands of square kilometers. Even if factors such as overlapping territories are taken into account, this number can be basically understood to a certain extent. A territory of one hundred square kilometers is strictly necessary for survival and hunting. In other words, the output and support capacity of the territory are actually very limited.
So to make a simple analogy, what kind of spectacular resources and wealth do these hundreds of thousands of robbing groups who basically do not produce anything need to maintain their order and stabilize their existence without collapse?
As far as Li Cang knows, in the Sky Island Age, this was an almost impossible epic achievement unless...
As for saying that bandits are not engaged in production, this is not an insult. Li Cang thinks it is an inevitable rule. If they are willing to engage in productive labor or have the conditions to engage in productive labor, why would they burn, kill and loot?
Are you used to making quick money and windfalls, but are you still willing to return to the hard, simple and monotonous logic of producers?
Once a thief, always a bandit.
It can refer to a bad reputation, or it can be taken literally.
Li Cang glanced at both sides of the melee and frowned: "There's no need to fight like this. It's a big loss."
Zong Gou also began to frown. He knew something about Li Cang's fighting power, or he was fully mentally prepared for the fighting power of Rao Qifang's family.
But the problem is that no matter what you do, it is taboo for laymen to command experts, let alone fight.
Zonggou said: "War is bound to be an extremely cruel process. Compassion does not lead to soldiers and righteousness does not support wealth. Sacrifice is necessary, but not everyone can accept it."
The meaning of Zong Gou's words was obvious. He needed to save enough face for Rao Qifang. After all, she was the superior in theory.
Well, a false position.
Unexpectedly, after Zong Gou finished speaking, he found that instructor Rao's daughter glanced at him with a very obscure look that was difficult for him to understand. There seemed to be a little bit of strange emotion in her eyes: What? mean?
This is not Li Cang's territory, so Li Cang nodded in affirmation and respect first, and then said as tactfully as possible: "What you are killing is a living human life, what they are killing is an animal. I guess they will not treat slaves the same way." The death of an animal does not bring any fear to them."
Zong Gou and others looked at Li Cang in astonishment: "You said these strong guys with armor like wolves and tigers are so-called slaves? How is this possible!"
"In today's situation, the resources obtained by a very large group that relies entirely on plundering are unlikely to be enough to support everyone to obtain equal distribution and social status. The initiators will not allow this situation to occur. Their status Layer by layer, you go down to the limit, until the limit, the lowest level is these people in front of you, gray animals, slaves, it doesn’t matter what you call them.”
"What do you mean?"
"Simple!"
Li Cang snapped his fingers and hovered in the air until Goudan, who was impatient, immediately found a suitable and pleasing target——
boom!
Earth-shattering fire explosions and shock waves. Surrounding a certain medium-sized enemy island, countless islands converted into small ships collided with each other and were scrapped, or burst into sparks due to the shock wave.
Li Cang took over a large speaker, put out the translator in eleven languages, and shouted impatiently: "Get out of here, someone who can speak reliably, I have no interest in animals or slaves!"
It's not professional enough. If Lao Wang were here, he would definitely be able to speak more decently.
In fact, Li Cang was too familiar with this situation.
With proper courtesy, strong reasons, and sufficient greetings, if the gang leader does not show up, there will be no need for his gang, which lives by robbery, has a strict hierarchical structure, and uses force as its moral yardstick, to continue, and mutiny is almost inevitable.
Sure enough, the fierce battlefield suddenly became quiet.
The other party's minions retreated cautiously, looking back in a certain direction, their eyes filled with pathological enthusiasm, anticipation, and the vague murderous intent that replaced them when the opportunity came.
Therefore, some more polite things are necessary. If strong martial virtue can control everything in the world and bring peace, then the nationality on your household registration book should be Da Qin or Da Han.
"My friend, I think you are right. Animals do not need mercy. A truly strong man will not let such senseless killing dirty even one finger."
Religious structure:?
Suddenly I felt that this was the first incident in my life that was more ridiculous and misunderstood than the disaster that caused the Sky Island Age.
Rao Qifang's eyebrows revealed a smile full of superiority: "It seems that my son may not understand war, but he understands the subordinates outside!"
From the opponent's sky island cluster, a half-moon-shaped sky island structure, shaped like half of an ancient Colosseum, slowly rose. In the field, on the high platform in the middle of the island, there were about 70 or 80 people standing and sitting in front and back.
The person who spoke was obviously one of the leaders.
There were 7 seats on the high platform, the same as the golden throne under him, also facing this side in a circular manner.
What made the people in the base even more stunned was that in addition to the 7 people with the golden throne and the 20 or so people standing around who were dressed in luxurious and gorgeous clothes, looked down at people with cruel and bloodthirsty eyes, most of the waiters on the stage were naked, dancing, kneeling or simply in an indescribable way.
Have you seen the scenes of gods "having fun with the people" that often appear in Western movies and TV shows? In short, it was very Western and very artistic. Compared with them, King Zhou of Shang had to be considered subtle and euphemistic.
The people in the base were very surprised, and their language management ability was quite out of control.
Li Cang was basically used to it. He looked around and said indifferently, "It's disappointing. If you were on track, I might give you some leftover food from the livestock to fill your stomachs before sending you on your way."
The poor performance of the translator has gradually made Li Cang and Lao Wang develop a language logic that takes the translator's small emotions into consideration. After all, the words translated in this way are usually more lethal than Lao Wang's brilliant but too straightforward battle of ancestral tablets, and they are enough to fit the character of Mr. Cang as an elegant wizard.
Hamiti Stafford still maintained a very polite and gentlemanly smile: "I thought the one who invited me would be a gentleman who knows the rules. You are really embarrassing."
"I think you really need to establish better rules for your livestock. Obviously, they don't seem to be very well behaved."
