Will the kemonomimi encounter Alien Ranch Story?

"Didn't you just complain about how coarse my tail fur was?" The little tiger forcefully pulled its big tail back.

"It's not that I'm complaining, but I'm saying you should switch to a better brand. Or how about I custom-make one for you?"

"Oh!" Swire's interest was immediately piqued. "Great! What kind?"

"I'll definitely satisfy you..." I'll go back and research what kind of conditioners and muscle care products are generally used for felines, especially tigers, and then see how to treat this type of fur to make it soft and smooth. If I remember correctly, it should be in... um, the animal fur processing technology?

Today's update may be moved to tonight.

@@@@Because I had a really annoying argument with some guy... I don't know how to put it.

Not only is the level of legal expertise questionable [as evidenced by A assigning B to hire D, a civilian subordinate of C, to conduct armed activities at E, with A bearing no responsibility...]

Furthermore, the level of international relations is somewhat... [manifested in the definition of national sovereignty].

Then there's the level of logic...

I have two simple logic questions for you:

Question A:

Let P be an entity that, for some reason, is considered unprovable or falsifiable, nonexistent, or meaningless before time t (denoted as Pa). After time t, we prove it to be a true proposition and that it exists (denoted as Pb). Then, what was the proposition Pb before time t?

1. The negation statement: Pa is not true, Pb is true;

2. True proposition: Pb is true, therefore Pa is also true;

3. Invalid propositions that are neither provable nor falsifiable;

4. False proposition: If Pb is true, it cannot sufficiently prove that Pa is true.

Question B:

Suppose that item P belongs to set S, and all of them are propositions that are either unprovable or unfalsifiable. Now, item P is proven to be true. Then, what is the relationship between the other subsets of this set and P?

1. Necessary and sufficient conditions;

2. Sufficient conditions;

3. Necessary conditions;

4. Necessary and insufficient conditions;

5. S is unprovable and unfalsifiable, and is independent of P.

The title of Chapter 41 is "Doing a Logic Problem".

Chapter 41

The Theresis armored assembly point: "What to do?" The defenses are too tight, almost impossible to handle. Because of the attack on Montenegro, this place is on high alert, with virtually no blind spots for patrols.

Moreover, the armored vehicles were not stored in a garage, but were dispersed, so even if a strong attack was launched, only a few could be destroyed before retreating.

"Contacting the higher-ups" is now only possible by relying on communication advantages to contact headquarters. The action team's opinion is to choose to evacuate, but the doctor doesn't see it that way.

Are their spare parts depot and fuel depot separate?

"No, they're concentrated in reserves. However, there's more than one fuel depot, and the defenses are very tight." After a brief reconnaissance, it was discovered that the spare parts depot and fuel depot were also heavily guarded.

"Hmm, are you able to locate the other vehicle's crew members' accommodations?"

"We'll try our best, you mean..."

"Even the best weapons need to be operated by people. You have extra bombs, right?"

"But, in that case..."

"Many innocent people will die, but this is war, and they are soldiers, not civilians. It is their responsibility to bear the losses and attacks of war."

The doctor remained unmoved, which meant that not only the armored soldiers selected by Theresis died, but also the engineers from third parties and the civilians or conscripts who served the military camp.

The consensus between the doctor and Lao Xia is not to harm civilians, but this does not include civilians who actively participate in acts of war. When they enter military service for reasons of voluntariness or involuntariness, they must bear this risk.

However, the latter will not be held accountable after the war, but the responsibility for the collateral damage suffered during the war should be borne by Therese, who was conscripted into the army.

Just as Chiang Kai-shek should be held responsible for the casualties and crimes committed by the Kuomintang's conscripted troops during the Chinese Civil War, the usual practice is to leave the enemy with opportunities to surrender and defect on the main battlefield.

Unfortunately, this is a clandestine operation, one that won't be recognized, so the constraints are even less. "Understood, let's get started!"

It is clear that Therese still does not fully realize that people are the key to war.

Of course, this is also a major characteristic and convention of Terran military strategists. After all, the development of military strategy and thought is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires someone to pay a heavy price in order to establish correct military thought.

The Terrans are still stuck in the mindset of warfare, where only a few elites and strong individuals break through.

In reality, the battlefields and equipment around the world are no longer what they used to be. Generals are always trying to fight a new war using old methods until they have learned their lesson.

Therefore, Theresis focused its defense on equipping its armored forces rather than on the personnel.

However, this is not surprising, for someone whose equipment losses had to be replenished from abroad, equipment was far more valuable than people.

However, Lao Xia and the Doctor had different motivations. Lao Xia believed that people were more valuable than equipment. Lao Xia was simply following the habitual thinking of the Star Alliance. He believed that if a war could be fought with a quality war of 200 million drones in one wave, then human lives should be sacrificed as little as possible.

The doctor, on the other hand, simply believed that equipment replenishment was faster than manpower. A qualified Titan crew needed nine months of training to be barely usable, while two Titan tanks could be produced in a month.

Both sides coincidentally prioritized the protection of personnel rather than equipment. While this indirectly led to the success of Theresis's attack on the warehouse and caused some losses, it also meant that they preserved most of the veterans and technical personnel.

The Black Ops team quickly broke through the defenses and entered the armored barracks. Most of the guards were concentrated in the equipment area, ready for action, while the barracks themselves were not heavily guarded, since no one thought anyone would attack the barracks from their own territory.

"Bang!" "Rat-a-tat-tat!" The military tent was suddenly flung open, followed by a burst of gunfire. The crisp gunshots caused an uproar throughout the camp. The shirtless soldiers rushed to grab their weapons, and in the chaos, the camp's lights were extinguished.

What followed was chaotic and indiscriminate firing—the most terrifying thing in military history happened: a camp bombing.

The oppressive atmosphere under Theresis's rule and the tension caused by the attack on Montenegro made the bombing of the camp uncontrollable.

As dawn broke, the action team was already on its way back with the prisoners, while Theresis received the startling report of the armored unit's camp being bombed.

To be honest, the Black Ops team didn't kill many people at all. They just blew up the substation and set it on fire. The casualties were almost entirely due to infighting, with more than a thousand people lost, including those killed directly, those killed in the firefights when the military police entered to suppress the protests, and a small number who couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide after the incident was discovered during the day.

"What the hell..." The Regent barely managed to keep his expression straight, wanting to tear the report in his hand to shreds. After taking a few deep breaths, he slumped into his seat.

He was now in a difficult position, having long realized that the Northerners were not easy to deal with.

However, he had no choice, because he was Theresis, and to put it bluntly, those nobles and city lords would never surrender to the people in the north.

If he volunteers to join the war, he can gain real power within the group. Even if he refuses, what can they do? They will inevitably push him into that position as a banner and a pretext for launching the war. In the end, not only will the result be the same, but he will also only be a puppet.

In other words, Therese was not stupid. He weighed the pros and cons from the beginning and chose the path that was most advantageous to him. At least if he took power, he would still have the strength to fight. But if he let those fools hold him hostage as a puppet, he would have no other choice but to be bulldozed and hanged on the derrick by the Yankees.

Yes, Theresis may look pitiful, but she is actually quite capable of fighting back; that is an indisputable fact.

The reason Lao Xia and his men didn't take action was for this very reason: they would suffer considerable losses in the process of eliminating Theresis, making it impossible to achieve a true "total annihilation." Furthermore, the routed troops, when the victors lacked the capacity to govern them, would only become an even more terrible disaster.

So when will Lao Xia and his men make their move? They will start the war as soon as they return from Syracuse. Theresis wants to wage war in the spring so that the refugees will overwhelm the north and severely impact Lao Xia and his men's farming.

However, the Doctor and Xia Lin were determined to start the war while everyone still had some food and wouldn't all become refugees or herds of beasts. War is an extreme form of violence, which means that the population problem can be solved using both Maxim's and Marx's methods.

To put it bluntly, by directly seizing land from the wealthy and distributing it to them, and by having the nobles under Theresis tighten their belts and stockpile large quantities of food for the spring battle, it saved everyone the trouble of going to the countryside to collect these supplies bit by bit.

Once a place is captured, the reorganization work will begin immediately. Xia Lin spent four years preparing for this.

Although there were no officials who unified Terra or even the entire Kazdel, there were at least some officials who ruled over the entire North Kazdel.

In particular, the management system he and the doctor established using artificial intelligence and the Sailboat Decision Matrix can significantly reduce the number of middle bureaucrats who play a bridging role, which is more than enough.

As for the South, there was no choice but to compromise, since the South is relatively developed.

Moreover, the emerging bourgeoisie and some enlightened nobles were among the targets of unity, while the feudal princes were the ones who needed to be completely eliminated.

As for the fact that the nobles and city lords in the south are not enlightened or not enlightened enough, then unfortunately, it is up to Petrenko and his men to help them become enlightened.

Compromise is one thing, but it is only a compromise for the vast middle class and small and medium-sized farm owners. It will not force the entire group to rebel. As for those large estate owners, unenlightened nobles and city lords, they will be hanged without hesitation.

This way, enough resources and land can be allocated to resettle the refugees created by the war and to restore production as soon as possible. The doctor is not very good at economics.

However, Old Cat is the only money-making expert in all of Rhodes Island, and he could tell at a glance that an economic crisis was imminent.

Swire also realized this, and she mentioned it to Xia. The latter bluntly stated that this was an unavoidable crisis. As long as Terra continued to industrialize and move towards capitalism, an economic crisis would inevitably break out.

Moreover, it was precisely because of this economic crisis that the crown was first knocked off, and the red specter was created for the second time. It was a crisis of the old ruling class and a cry of the birth of a new society.

However, other issues that arose had to be discussed with the doctor.

Finally, everyone realized that a war, sparked by an economic crisis, would soon engulf all of Terra, and that people's patriotism and various traditions and customs would be annihilated in the long and brutal modern war.

When Ursus dies a generation, when Letania has no more supporters, and when Lungmen becomes a battlefield, the monarchy, nobility, and bloodlines built on the old order will all vanish, and the bourgeoisie can formally and completely replace the monarchy and nobility.

"The foundation of nobility is the military merit system, and the foundation of the military merit system is the current officer system. In this kind of war, the whips, scoldings, and noble bloodlines that officers rely on for their livelihood will be shattered by death, bloodshed, and machine guns," Xia Lin said.

"By that time, the soldiers will no longer obey; all their loyalty and sentiments will be completely exhausted, and they will fall into a long period of fatigue."

At this point, when past honors and achievements can no longer attract soldiers, all that remains is the sole means to maintain the army…

"Money..." After leaving Lungmen, Swire's understanding of the power of money has greatly improved.

"Actually there are others... but it's too far-fetched for the people of Terra to talk about them now."

There is another thing that maintains military discipline and combat effectiveness: an ideal that everyone can see, touch, and is for which everyone is willing to sacrifice their lives.

However, for the Terrans who haven't yet tasted the bitterness and realized that those promises and benefits are just sugar-coated bullets, it's too difficult.

“And the group that controls money, or rather, actual material interests, will become the new, de facto ruling class because of their control of the military.” Talulah quickly understood this fact because of her experience in Kazimierz.

When valiant knights are exhausted on the battlefield, when the corrupt knightly class becomes a bunch of cowards.

When leading from the front becomes driving soldiers to their deaths, the Knights Guild can no longer effectively control the military. Instead, the military becomes controlled by a coalition of merchants who can use large sums of money to send soldiers to their deaths.

"When money, fame, and power are combined, they will inevitably strive for their own voice and dominance..."

Of course, the new ruling class will soon decline rapidly, consumed and destroyed by the economic crisis, until a new system that matches society emerges.

In Syracuse, the strike arrived as scheduled, while Xia Lin, along with Swire, was inspecting Syracuse's industries. The two sides still needed to reach some economic agreements.

After all, the Mafia is just the Mafia. It can influence the Syracuse government to some extent, but it cannot make decisions for them.

Therefore, Xia Lin must use actual economic benefits to make up for the other half of his influence. Syracuse's industrial sector is not backward; they even have their own land-based shipyard and design team.

Animal husbandry and agriculture are also very developed, mainly based on an oil-producing plant similar to olives.

In addition, the textile and leather industries are also very developed; however, relatively speaking, the heavy industry sector is quite weak.

Although it has its own shipyard, most of the equipment is manufactured in Victoria. Its light industry and agriculture are both quite good. From an economic perspective, it can be described as a cooperative relationship, but also a rather thorny competitive one.

Syracuse doesn't have the vast lands of Kazdel. If agricultural cooperation were to take place, it would quickly become a vassal state of Xia Lin, a bridgehead for competition with Colombia and Casimir, something neither the Mafia nor the people of Syracuse could tolerate.
