Doctor, I'm really strong!

Simply put, once these Type 59 land-based ships are in operation, they can produce 648 ships per minute. If it weren't for the superhuman production capacity of the All-Powerful Factory, no country could afford to maintain this terrifyingly expensive weapon.

Kroos remarked, "This stuff is enough to build a fleet capable of destroying a nation."

However, Liu Jiuli disagrees, because the technological path pursued by the community is different from that of other countries.

Currently, the production of land-based warships in various countries of Terra is based on the meticulous craftsmanship of the Japanese during World War II, with a decade-long dedication to each vessel – a testament to the spirit of craftsmanship. Liu Jiuli, however, pursues mass production on an assembly line; as long as he starts the machines, land-based warships can be manufactured like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

While the Type 59 land-based ship certainly has many flaws, it is currently the land-based ship that best meets the actual needs of the community. Its modular design allows for segmented assembly and rapid splicing, reducing construction time to as little as one month.

What does that mean? It's roughly the difference in production efficiency between a Tiger tank and a T-34.

Everyone knows what happened to the Tiger tank. As long as your enemy isn't coming in a tank with a teardrop-shaped engine, numbers can overwhelm everything.

Moreover, aside from the most outrageous pure Originium reactor, in other aspects, the Type 59 Land-based ship is a model of industrialized assembly line products, ensuring quality and quantity, with first-class construction speed. Even if some problems occur in the middle, the losses are manageable. It can quickly train a group of excellent technical workers. Currently, many key personnel in factories were trained through the construction of Type 59 Land-based ships.

As for why it's called the Type 59 Landcraft Ship, it's because the previous prototype was numbered 59.

Also under large-scale construction is the land-based ship number 60, but it now has a new name: the Barrage-class land-based ship.

The barrage-class battleships are quite large, even exceeding the size of many land-based capital ships, and some small mobile cities are not even as big as them.

It is 505 meters long, 211 meters wide, and 34 meters high. It has four triple 350mm main guns arranged in a triangular pattern on the front and rear. The reason why it is a caliber model that has not been used before is that some technical problems occurred with the originally planned 410mm main gun, and the 500mm gun could not be installed. Therefore, a smaller version, but capable 350mm, had to be used as an emergency substitute.

However, because the turret was designed for a triple 410mm gun, the scaled-down main gun looked a bit out of place when installed, but its power was no joke; after all, it carried nearly a ton of shells.

The sides are equipped with close-in weapon systems and dual-purpose guns, which can provide considerable firepower. There are also cruise missile launchers, namely the vertical launch system at the rear of the turret, which can launch 400 cruise missiles.

The name "Bullet Hell" defines her battlefield role: fire support, essentially a mobile artillery position, with a range of 300 to 10 kilometers. However, she is not a frontline assault unit and has very poor defense, only equivalent to a medium-sized land-based warship. Therefore, she is not recommended for use as an assault force. But if the battlefield gets really heated, any land-based warship can be converted into an Emperor's Poison Blade.

In addition, the Barrage-class also serves as a command ship, and its chassis has many modified versions. For example, the "Aviation-class" land-based ship is modified from the Barrage-class chassis and is currently mainly equipped with armed helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles. In the future, it will be positioned as a land-based aircraft carrier.

Considering the number of enemies, both the Tier 59 and the Barrage Tier 59 need to be produced in triple digits or more. Especially for the Tier 59, which serves as the battlefield assault force, producing four digits is normal. This way, when they overwhelm the enemy, they will understand the terror of the steel torrent.

The clash between land-based ships is the true clash of national power in Terra. While battles dominated by operator-type infantry, as seen in Arknights, exist, infantry are essentially relegated to a supporting role in nation-wide wars. The outcome of the land-based battles determines the subsequent offensive and defensive posture of both sides, much like a fleet decisive battle.

It takes a hundred years to build a navy, but only an afternoon to lose it.

However, the battleground for land-based ships is on land, so a very real problem is facing everyone.

Land-based ships obviously don't have the problem of leaking. Unless one of them is transformed into a Hood, the battle between the two sides will last for a very long time. As long as the land-based ships are not completely destroyed and rendered unable to fight, the battle will continue as long as the soldiers on board have the will to fight.

This difference is something that must be considered when conducting land-based fleet battles. Sinking the enemy is not an option here; to eliminate the enemy, you must destroy them.

Just as the community was fully preparing for war, other countries began to respond to the announcements previously issued by Letania and the Ursus Empire, and the responses appeared to be quite powerful.

To put it simply, almost every country with the capacity and that is a monarchy overwhelmingly supports this.

Even the king of her own country became a Ba (Victoria of Mami), and quite a few nobles responded. Liu Jiuli thinks that this is entirely because Victoria thinks this is a good opportunity to weaken the Ursus Empire. Didn't she see the Ursus Empire's reaction to Victoria? It was a completely cold attitude, and they made a bunch of demands.

It was practically like telling Victoria, "You can only provide manpower; we'll take care of the weapons."

It is clear that these countries are also wary of each other, and everyone is harboring ulterior motives and having different dreams despite being in the same bed.

However, the reaction of one country was very difficult for other countries to understand, and that was Lateran, which declared neutrality.

Hey! The community explicitly opposes religion. Didn't you see that the Terra Red Army threw those Ursus State Church patriarchs to labor farms to develop Ubisoft servers? And you Laterano people are completely unresponsive to this? What's going on?!

To be honest, Liu Jiuli also found it strange until a piece of intelligence was delivered to him.

Section 194: Liberation and Theology

(Second update, (～￣▽￣)～)

Andorn, who appears in the game during the summer event... cough cough cough, is the one who leads the way.

In reality, he is the cardinal of Lateran (he doesn't necessarily have to wear a red cloak; the name is his title, not his attire).

What does this mean? The current archbishop is dead, and he is now eligible to run for archbishop.

However, his childhood was quite special. He was born in Iberia and hoped that the blessings of Lateran could spread to the entire continent of Terra. But for various reasons, this idea could only remain a thought.

In the game, Andorn eventually grasped some concepts of the theology of liberation, but in reality, he was very fortunate to come into contact with a reality that brought his ideals to life.

From the Red Guards to the Terra People's Community, Liu Jiuli proved an unimaginable path through his actions, and Andorn witnessed it all firsthand. The incident stemmed from a letter that Exusiai gave to his sister.

The letter wasn't very complicated; it just described how wonderful it was to be here with the Red Guards, how hopeful every day was, and how happy it was to live there. It was so effusive that it sounded like the letter was about to ascend to heaven.

As is well known, the Sarkaz are capable of empathy. The fluorescent lights above their heads are not just for illumination; they are somewhat similar to the nerve bundles of the Kara, but not as powerful. They allow the Sarkaz to share emotions and synchronously perceive the joys and sorrows of their fellow beings. The closer they are to each other, the more they understand each other.

But besides that, this halo has another small function: sensing the environment.

You can think of it as an external sensory organ of a Sakota.

The effect of this perception aura is rather mystical. It can capture the atmosphere of the surrounding environment. Although this ability to perceive the atmosphere is rather useless, the existence of this special organ makes the Sarkaz more susceptible to the influence of their surroundings.

Just like people living in the Republic of China era and people living in Xinhua, their mental outlook is definitely different.

In a positive, optimistic, free, safe, and happy environment, the Sakotas feel comfortable and develop a sense of dependence. Then, something amazing happens: when the Red Guards begin to transform the surrounding environment and reshape the face of society, the first group to rush over and join is a group of Sakotas.

It's important to understand that the Sarkaz from various countries have all received the Lateran's mandate. They belong to this country yet they don't. But in the former Red Guards, now the community, the Sarkaz have chosen to actively integrate.

They actively participate in everything within the community and do it very well. They are generally well-educated, regardless of whether that education was acquired amidst gunfire and explosions. In any case, they have a high level of knowledge, and their unique perception allows them to be more accurate and effective in handling interpersonal relationships, hitting the nail on the head.

The most obvious example is that in the Terra Red Army, the positions of political commissar and instructor are most prevalent among Ursus, followed by Sarkaz and Sarkaz. Sarkaz and Sarkaz each account for one-fifth of these positions. Considering that the main cities of the community are developed based on Ursus, it is astonishing that two races with absolutely no population advantage occupy such an exaggerated proportion. However, the most exaggerated is the Sarkaz, who have Kazdel, their homeland, to provide population. They were originally considered outsiders.

This demonstrates how adept these angels are at ideological and political work, or rather, at dealing with people. While not all Sakortas are like this, the proportion is still very high.

After receiving her sister's letter, Exusiai's older sister developed feelings of goodwill and curiosity towards the Community. However, due to her physical limitations, she could only tell those around her. Through word of mouth, the matter eventually reached Andorn's ears.

Driven by curiosity, Andorn came to Future Technology City under the guise of an inspection trip. There, he witnessed the miracles that were happening and came into contact with the complete, luxurious, exquisite, and impeccable version of the Liberation Theology proposed by Liu Jiuli.

Under the dual impact of reality and theory, Andorn quickly achieved enlightenment in the future technology city, and then spent half a year traveling through all the cities under the control of the Red Guards, completely reshaping his thinking.

"A great faith is fulfilling its mission to save humanity. I have heard the call, and I must answer it!"

Andorn immediately chose, "I'll vote..."

Wait, not yet. Andorn thinks it's easy for him to give up everything in Laterano, and he's prepared for it, but it's not enough for him to do it alone. He should let more people understand the greatness of their shared ideals.

So he returned to Lateran, preaching in the morning and writing in the evening. He wrote "Eden in the Far North," which was based on his observations and experiences. He deeply analyzed the Red Guards' ideology and success and shared these insights with others.

Thanks to the shared feelings among the Sarkaz, Andorn's missionary work, while not entirely smooth sailing, was at least relatively easy.

But to Andorn's surprise, while attracting many Lateranzakotas, many local Tripolis also joined in, showing even more enthusiasm and initiative, including members of the Papal Guard.

This is not surprising. Although Tripoli has many people in Lateran, they have never been able to enter Lateran's core circle. Most of the time, they work on the periphery as guards and warriors. It seems that they can receive education and care from Lateran, but in reality, there is a hidden barrier between them.

In contrast, the community's side is obviously incredibly fair.

A group of Tripoli from Lateran entered Steelgrad as an advance team and quickly became reliable comrades. Because they were all well-educated, had firm beliefs, and were pragmatic, they soon stood out among countless competitors and became grassroots cadres or technical backbones in other state-owned factories.

Exusiai made the most significant progress among them. Because she arrived earlier and the Red Guards were short of people, especially technical personnel, Exusiai quickly rose to the rank of platoon leader and also served as a part-time instructor. It seemed incredible.

No, no, no, it's actually quite normal. Don't be fooled by Ah Neng's cheerful demeanor; she is actually a very devout believer in God. Once that belief is replaced by liberation theology, she becomes a qualified prospective political commissar.

As a result, Lateran became a base for supplying talent to the community. For a while, even Liu Jiuli himself found it strange. Weren't the grassroots always complaining about a shortage of people? Why is there no shortage now? The students in the school haven't even graduated yet.

Since the theology of liberation requires a certain level of understanding, those who were first mobilized by Andorn were basically Lateran intellectuals. It can be said that they unconditionally contributed the most essential part of Lateran to the community. He is so gentle, I'm so moved.

These people wielded considerable influence in Laterano, which led to a very interesting chemical reaction.

Section 195: The Holy Terra Declaration

(Third update! Where are everyone's rewards? (?ω?))

It's impossible that the Archbishop didn't know about what happened inside Lateran, but he didn't stop it; in fact, he deliberately let it go.

Wait a minute, you're betraying your own class!

People who think this way completely misunderstand Lateran's national mechanisms. This country looks like the Papal States, but it is actually an advanced country that has eliminated many of the Papal States' shortcomings. You can think of it as a religion without the flaws of religion, and in some places you can't even call it a religion.

Due to the Sakotas' unique empathy, Lateran is more like an integrated nation that combines the advantages of secular and religious states while eliminating many of their disadvantages, which makes it advanced.

It may seem absurd, but it's reality. The Sarkaz's racial characteristics are different from humans, so it's normal for them to encounter situations that humans can't understand.

Lateran's protection is limited, but that doesn't mean Lateran is unwilling to share its protection.

There are no rules governing machines and equipment, but the human heart can break through these limitations. To put it simply, there is a Lateran to provide a safety net, and the rest is up to people's initiative.

When an advanced environment is combined with advanced ideas, everything will fall into place naturally.

Moreover, there are many Sarkaz within the current community, who are all true allies of Laterano. In other words, the community and Laterano have no direct conflict of interest. They even have a lot of trade relations, and these economic benefits are actively promoted by the Sarkaz on both sides.

However, the reactions of other countries also need to be taken into account. Lateran cannot stand on the side of the community, but it is perfectly fine to simply remain silent and not know anything. That is why it appears to be neutral and says that it has no idea.

Lateran indicated they weren't going to intervene, and the community obviously wouldn't provoke them either, leading to the current dramatic scene. But did you think the story ended there?

When the Red Guards officially established their nation and formed the Terra People's Community, Andorn was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. He knew that his dream was turning into an ideal, and that the ideal was beginning to become reality. He had to do something.

So Andorn decisively got out of bed, wrote a "Declaration of the Holy Terra" with great effort.

In his eyes, the Terran community is undoubtedly the Garden of Eden on earth, the most sacred place in the world, hence this manifesto that sounds like it came straight from the Warhammer movie set next door.

The opening sentence: People of the world who are suffering and in distress, we must now unite and fight for a new and great era.

When Andorn wrote the "Declaration of the Holy Terra," it was entirely out of his own feelings. Knowing that the nation would face such encirclement and struggle after its establishment, he decided to find more like-minded people to go to the holy land in his heart and fight for the liberation of all mankind and to create a true earthly Eden.

But he never expected that his "Declaration of the Holy Terra" would cause such a huge uproar.

Remember the evaluation of Lateran above? In any case, missionary work is still a characteristic of religious countries, and missionary work takes many forms and has many contents. It can be the Gospel of God or the theology of liberation.

Compared to the Gospel of God, the liberation theology, with its existing case studies, was clearly more influential and appealing, making those who heard it more willing to spread it. As a result, Liu Jiuli thought that the idea of ​​Great Harmony was only spreading in the surrounding areas of the community, but the reality was that his good brother, the liberation theology, took root in Lateran and began to spread to the surrounding areas centered on Lateran, through a group of missionaries with firm faith.

Because of this hesitation, when later historians studied this period of history, the question of which ideal of universal harmony or the theology of liberation gained international influence first often became the subject of debate and argument among scholars.

Well, wasn't liberation theology something Liu Jiuli came up with himself?

That's true, but that's definitely not his main focus. Besides, he doesn't care who's number one in this matter.

Also due to the theology of liberation, it led to the first international organization with great ideals—the Liberation International, also known as the First International.

It's absurd that Liu Jiuli, the founder, has no connection with First International. Upon closer examination, it is indeed quite absurd.

For Liu Jiuli, as a liberator, he deeply understood the principle that "success does not have to be achieved by me, but success will definitely include me." As long as it can blossom and bear fruit, the fruit will surely fall to the ground one day, regardless of whether the soil is dug with a shovel or a pickaxe.

Compared to the concept of community, the theology of liberation is clearly more covert because it has a natural base—the church.

In the name of God's gospel, I'll close the door and say whatever I want.

And so, in the mines of Rembiton, in the slums of Victoria, in the refugee camps of Colombia, in the bars of Syracuse, and in the arena of Casimir, countless thoughts began to collide fiercely. The result was obvious: all those who suffered hoped to be liberated and to live a happy life with enough to eat and wear.

And now, a nation truly for the proletariat has been born.

But this nascent nation is about to face a furious counterattack from the exploiters, who will try to extinguish this last flame.
