Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

If they did it, then the price of dying together is too high, and they will stop, or at least not play such dangerous games.

If it wasn't them, they would have to help the doctor find out who did it and teach them a lesson.

"Your warehouse in New Kazdel was burned down..." the Godfather said calmly. "Is that true?"

Although the news that arrived already indicated that New Kazdel had been ravaged by fire and all war reserves had been destroyed, he still decided to ask Xia Lin about it.

“Probably, but I think only a portion will be burned.” Xia Lin remained calm, showing no anger at the burning warehouse. “Because I designed and installed automated fire-fighting equipment, and I never skimp on this.”

“It is wise that men know where to spend their money, while women do not.”

The Godfather shrugged and changed the subject. He would use his own channels to gather information and reassess the possibility of cooperation or deepening cooperation, depending on the information he gathered.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Don't Speak Ursus

Chapter 37

Is the new Kazdel, or rather, the evil Doctor, someone who never fights back or talks back when insulted?

That's not the case, it's just that they can't directly attack Colombia because, as the Colombians think, it's too far away, and the damage a special operations team can cause is very limited.

Black Steel had to deploy nearly half of its mobile forces to cause any damage to Lao Xia's storage facilities.

Moreover, thanks to the automatic fire suppression system, the level of damage did not meet the requirements of the action plan.

However, if we were to learn from Blacksteel and carry out large-scale destruction, the number of operators the Doctor has would not be sufficient to do so. Moreover, to make an example of someone, we can't just find a gorilla to kill, can we?

Thus, the target shifted from the Colombians to Theresis. After all, the Colombians' goal was to delay Kazdel's war preparations so they could send more weapons to Theresis—not for free, of course.

“Since they enjoy this kind of business, I’ll give them a hand…” The Doctor looked at W, who was preparing to act, “Are you ready?”

"Of course, but let me make this clear first: you get what you pay for."

"No problem." W's demands for participating in the doctor's operation were quite unusual. In addition to the normal mercenary's pay, she also requested that the white-haired creature in the incubation room, which had already begun to leave the jar and undergo rehabilitation training and learning, be given to her. As for whether she would take it back to lick it or do something else, no one knew.

For the Doctor, this kind of transaction is not unreasonable. After all, W is Theresa's only supporter. At most, he can just cultivate a smaller version of Theresa. Nothing will go wrong.

Besides, because the induced embryos that Lao Xia used were purely for testing whether they were little donkeys or little rabbits, they had relatively serious genetic defects and required long-term conditioning and treatment.

Old Xia also implanted the Star Alliance symbiote into her. Although symbiotes can be obtained through normal inheritance, they cannot be obtained by babies conceived through in vitro fertilization. The symbiote mother must be implanted around 20 to 24 weeks of gestation.

Therefore, both the farm and the Windrunner will be equipped with some, because in the low gravity environment of space, there will be certain obstacles to carrying out normal reproduction. Some symbiotic mothers for implantation will be prepared on ships and some construction sites where artificial gravity systems are not installed.

Symbiotes can suppress this genetic defect as much as possible, but they are physically weak and cannot awaken Originium Arts.

However, New Kazdel doesn't need a de facto "Demon King." As for a special staff member called "Demon King," the wet components system can handle it perfectly well; anyone can be found.

Sending Little Donkey to the position was purely to appease the old guard at Rhodes Island. It was just a decorative position anyway, with no real power whatsoever.

Theoretically speaking, changing the word "Demon King" to "Petition Director" wouldn't be wrong. It's estimated that in the future, it will become a job that combines petitioning and funeral customs, and may even evolve into an arts and culture department, providing the Sarkaz people with end-of-life comfort and spiritual solace in accordance with their folk customs.

“Then it’s settled…” W shrugged and left to prepare her action team; the task was very simple.

Kazdel border, operations base;

"This mission was very simple. Columbia Raytheon Industries supplied the puppet regime with a batch of military supplies, including Originium-powered mechanical exoskeletons, war staffs, and a batch of armored units developed by Raytheon Industries. In particular, those armored units posed a great threat to us."

Terra's armor technology is not bad, and Old Xia is just an agricultural technician. If a certain army drone expert who was forced into the job were replaced, he might be able to replicate the Covenant's ground armored clusters. However, he would actually be using Terra's technology.

Keshi only possesses a small amount of core technology. Apart from the wet parts device, Raytheon Industrial's armored vehicles are actually superior in terms of mechanical reliability, overhaul hours, and other performance aspects.

The Titans and Kazdel's armored forces excel primarily in firepower and protection, but their mobility is far inferior. As for reliability...

Go to sleep. Therefore, if this batch of equipment enters Theresis's army, it would indeed be a huge threat.

"There are a total of 200 'Thunderhammer' armored vehicles. We obtained some parameters through intelligence channels, as you can see. We cannot carry heavy equipment on this mission. Therefore, if we encounter them... it will be extremely troublesome."

Raytheon Industries' armored vehicles use Terra's alligator alloy armor, although it is not as protective as the composite armor produced by Old Xia and the Alien.

However, it does have an effective protection of around 800 mm, so from that point of view, this thing should be called a tank.

"On top is a grenade launcher, the kind the Laterans used, and a small Originium spell cannon, which means this vehicle requires three professionally trained and educated warlocks to operate."

"However, the Sarkaz have no shortage of warlocks."

"With our equipment, we shouldn't have to worry about their grenades unless it's a close-range hit. But this magic cannon is a real problem."

"What's the principle behind it?" The squad's technical officer looked at the data on the table. "Some kind of high-energy pulse?"

"Yes, directed energy weapons, that's what the boss said. They're very troublesome, and our exoskeletons have a hard time resisting such high-pulse attacks."

Since it's based on an agricultural product, expecting it to work under military-grade directed energy weapons is wishful thinking.

"The particle velocity is extremely high, making it almost impossible to predict and dodge. However, since it is operated by warlocks and they are limited by the size of the vehicle, they probably don't have any load-reducing devices. The warlocks are under a lot of pressure and won't be able to use it many times."

"But that's enough to evaporate our entire squad, right?"

“Yes, so we must avoid the parts that are already being patrolled and used, and then destroy the rest.” The captain briefly explained the troublesome nature and significance of these things, “If they appear on the battlefield, our troops will suffer very serious losses.”

"The Titan's armor might be able to withstand its other weapons, but this high-energy pulse is enough to destroy the Titan's sophisticated control system, and..." As everyone knows, the logistics team will need at least two days to figure things out.

This is still based on the premise that the Titan is large enough that the crew inside can disembark and form a scout squad on the spot, so that the vehicle is not captured or destroyed by close-range infantry anti-tank bombs.

Terra's anti-armor mines and bombs are truly capable of destroying Titans. They are designed to deal with mobile cities and landships, and can blast a three-thousand-ton behemoth in two. Once infantry armed with these weapons get close, the Titan's survival rate is terrifyingly low.

Of course, infantry fighting against armor also has a terrifyingly high mortality rate, especially when an armored vehicle can immediately produce a squad of elite infantrymen with four powered exoskeletons.

The only advantage is that their anti-armor weapons are not yet capable of long-range firing; they require two people to install and deploy them close to the target, making them difficult to intercept, especially against large, mobile warships.

However, against the relatively smaller, rapid-fire Titan tanks, these anti-armor teams would generally be torn apart at a distance of 100 to 200 meters.

However, this also means that Lao Xia and his team will have a relatively difficult time in the mountainous region of central Kazdel.

Because some terrain allows infantry to get within 20 meters, which is extremely dangerous, they only need smaller anti-armor Originium bombs to take out Kazdel's most powerful armored units.

"In addition, there were large quantities of winter clothing, canned food, cornmeal, and medicine..."

Raytheon Industries, or Columbia, provided a very complete range of goods. As the second largest agricultural country after Casimir, they mainly grew corn. Cheap cornmeal was enough for Theresis to feed his army, while winter clothing could prevent non-combat casualties in the winter.

"Should we destroy these food and supplies?" "No, if we do, the locals will starve or become a mass of refugees."

The issue of refugees is familiar to everyone. Every day, refugees cross the border openly or covertly, some even hiding in the wagons of caravans to smuggle themselves across.

They caused the security situation in Kazdel to deteriorate rapidly, and the settlements and plantations were overwhelmed. These people were like frightened birds; they were unwilling to work, stole food, and resorted to theft and robbery when they had no resources. Even the cavalry's hanging of hundreds of people could not stop them.

More accurately, the first group that arrived finally settled down, but under the influence of the continuous influx of newcomers, it was still difficult to restore production and labor capacity.

No amount of ideological education, slogans, or measures can easily make a group of terrified people obey orders again, even an army accustomed to obedience. To expect civilians to be easily educated is simply wishful thinking that ignores reality.

It will take time to get them back into obedience and resocialize. Only time can dispel their fear, and a safer life will put their minds at ease.

Next, labor and some savings will prevent them from choosing to disrupt the order. Only those with stable property have stable minds—no method will work for a group of refugees without stable property—except for Maxim.

The constant influx of refugees is truly adding pressure to everyone, and Kazdel is short of time, which Theresis has no intention of giving them. Of course, the Doctor also has no intention of giving the Regent time.

"It takes about two to three months for a refugee to go from being taken in to returning to normal civilian life. That is, at the earliest, the first batch of refugees will not be able to fully resume normal production and life until next spring or the end of this year."

If it were the military, it would probably take more than a month to reorganize and train them, gradually dispelling their panic, before they could be used in the second or third line. If they were thrown directly to the front line, they would probably collapse in a second.

"Therefore, our primary targets are the weapons and equipment supplied by Raytheon Industries. Time is tight and the mission is heavy. The primary target is armored vehicles, the secondary target is anti-tank artillery, and the last target is those staves and exoskeletons." The captains of the various action teams exchanged glances and roughly understood the content of this combat mission.

"More detailed information is in the materials I've provided; please take a good look at them when you get back."

Do we have any support?

“No, Aretosha will be operating at the border to draw your attention. You will need to cross the border in disguised vehicles. We have no way of knowing where Raytheon Industries’ supplies are stored. You will have to figure that out yourselves.”

"The place is too big; it might be difficult for us to find it..."

"Blacksteel is only willing to provide this level of report. However, the doctor has identified several possible storage locations, and you need to split up and act accordingly."

"Oh, right, some important notes for this mission..."

"Don't speak Ursus!" After they cross the border, they'll all be Victorians. The Victorians have no choice but to take the blame; they're Terra's number one troublemaker and are extremely hostile to the rising Colombia.

Colombia doesn't border Kazdel, but it does border Victoria.

His provision of equipment to Therese, while tacitly approved by some factions in Victoria, did not imply that the other faction would agree.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The metal giant, about six meters tall, slowly knelt down. The girl, who suffered from severe osteomalacia, carefully checked the data in the cockpit. After confirming that there were no problems, she climbed out of the giant's body.

"This is a mechanical warrior designed to rival Titan Industries' mobile armor. Due to some technical reasons, it is shorter than their mobile armor, but also more agile."

Frankly, Raytheon Industries genuinely couldn't understand how Titan Industries managed to make their mobile armor so large. They exhausted all their available technology and ultimately found it difficult to achieve the combat performance claimed by the Lungmen authorities.

In reality, Lungmen's equipment doesn't even have the performance they claim. They just need this kind of propaganda to bolster their defenses and make the Lungmen people think they can protect themselves—of course, the Ursus people know they can't.

Ultimately, they could only produce this most stripped-down version of the stripped-down version, which was almost half the size and had a load capacity that was not as great as Titan Industries' larger deadweight load, resulting in the use of only a rapid-fire grenade launcher and a lightweight repeating crossbow as weapons.

Terra's mechanically powered repeating crossbows are highly advanced. These large crossbows can fire short, all-metal bolts that are half a meter long and 0.8 centimeters in diameter. They are extremely lethal to heavily armored warriors, and can easily penetrate the shields and armor of heavy infantry.

Raytheon Industries has high hopes for its ability to break through enemy heavy infantry defenses.

Of course, while it's positioned as a competitor to Titan Industries' weaponry, it's actually aimed at Victoria's steam knights.

The armor of the Steam Knight uses vaporized Originium steam as its power source. The knight can more easily control the Originium energy inside to drive the armor, making it more like an Originium-powered device. However, due to the extremely high polluting nature of Originium steam, the Victoria Steam Knight also appears somewhat cumbersome due to the various protective devices.

However, the powerful engine combined with the massive energy release of vaporized Originium particles in the cannon is enough to blast away small armored units. One shot can wipe out half a block, making it a veritable humanoid tank.

"While the Thunderhammer armored vehicles cannot engage in one-on-one combat with the enemy's Titan vehicles, their numbers are small. We can use their superior mobility and flexibility to engage in close combat. Moreover, their armor performance and size mean that they can be destroyed with only a certain cost."

"Good, good, very good!" This advanced equipment gave Theresis a glimmer of hope, even though it had drained his entire savings and even involved things Old Xia hadn't planned to do immediately—

He found some excuses to confiscate the property of some nobles who did not obey him, and he also found excuses to kill some landowners and manor owners.

On the other hand, Kazdel's Sarkaz army has a long history of exploiting the wealthy, with a history comparable to the Ursus army's dirty work in secret.

So, before Lao Xia and the doctor could even start land reform, Theresis had already begun it under his own jurisdiction.

Although he was forced into this situation by the terrible economy, and he didn't touch the interests of the great nobles, he limited the scope of his actions to the opposition who were at odds with him, which was more like a kind of political infighting.

For the Colombian consortium, whose sense of smell was even more acute than that of the Casimir Federation, the smell of the Great Depression was growing stronger, and the Lonmen Stock Market experienced its first downturn.

Although the industrial manufacturing in the new city district was operating at full capacity due to Xia Lin's war preparation plan, it rebounded somewhat after a short-term decline, leading economists and stock commentators in Lungmen to proclaim that it was merely a technical adjustment and that a new surge was imminent due to the war dividends.

However, real financiers and bankers have already begun to tighten monetary policy. These measures are merely a way for them to lure unsuspecting investors into filling the hole when they are ready to cash out and run away.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in Longmen is also rising day by day. Although the Emperor of Da Yan, under certain established rules, has provided some market-saving assistance and policies, the stimulating effect is still very limited.

As the Black Date drew ever closer, Raytheon Industries no longer cared about offending the Victorians. At this point, expanding markets, instigating wars, and shifting the economic crisis onto others were their top priorities.

Although governments around the world are still unaware of this, and some are even blindly confident and happy about short-term gains.

However, those capitalists with a keen sense of smell, or even those who are personally affected by the pain, especially manufacturing capitalists, have already launched a frantic self-rescue campaign.

Victoria's factories once again intensified their exploitation of workers, while attempting to stabilize the market and avoid going bankrupt in the wave of price wars.
