Doctor, I'm really strong!

But in reality, undeveloped land is full of wild animals, mosquitoes, and all kinds of microorganisms. The terror of nature is the most terrifying, a thousand times more terrifying than bandits.

After the fall of Kazdel, this land had been abandoned for a long time, so various plants grew wildly. Nature returned to this land, and if humans wanted to reclaim it, they had to first reclaim the wasteland and turn the barren land into cultivated land.

This process is difficult, but fortunately, humanity possesses the power of technology, and the community is a leader in this regard.

Bombers flew overhead, and countless incendiary bombs rained down on the ground, the raging flames reducing everything above to ashes.

Have you ever seen modern-style burning of wasteland?

To prevent them from burning too much, these incendiary bombs are specially made, with the temperature controlled within a just-right range. However, this is still enough to reduce the plants and animals in the wilderness to ashes, turning them into humus on the black soil.

The next step is to build energy harvesting towers and plan camps around them. W has organized a production and construction corps of more than 200,000 people to go south, and there are more than a million immigrants to be settled later. The most difficult initial land reclamation work will be the responsibility of the soldiers, and they will become employees of the local agricultural reclamation company with lifetime shares.

The entire Kazdel was thrown into chaos when faced with the southward expansion of the Production and Construction Corps of the Community.

Every place has its own rules, whether explicit or implicit, but the Community, from the day it was founded, has always liked to overturn the table.

Considering the existence of slavery and nomadic peoples in the area, Liu Jiuli's requirements for the southward-bound troops were very simple.

Fight your way to peace!

All the princes, nobles, chiefs, and tribal leaders were killed, and the local middle and upper classes were thoroughly purged. The remaining slaves and commoners were incorporated into various production teams, where they worked during the day and received literacy training at night. Within a year at most, they would no longer miss the past.

As for the local resistance, the Production and Construction Corps was still a corps. Although the firepower of the comprehensive engineering ships modified from the Type 59 chassis was weak, it was still relatively strong. They had at least three 280mm guns mounted on the front. Moreover, there were more than 500 of these comprehensive engineering ships, as well as other ships used for immigration, which could be deployed as mobile cities.

The deployable mobile city is the final version of the mobile city. Once deployed, it becomes the core of a fixed city, similar to the base vehicle in Red Alert. With the energy harvesting tower, natural disasters are no longer a problem. The city can expand outwards on a large scale. Given the living environment in southern Kazdel, it would need to be a large city with a population of at least one million.

Forget about a scale of tens of millions. The total population of the entire community, including those resettled at the immigration assessment points, is only a little over fifty million. If we were to carry out centralized construction for a population of tens of millions, five cities would be enough to contain the entire community.

How can such a vast territory be developed?

Historical experience has proven that cities without industry have no future. Just look at the layout of major European cities. Any city with a population of over one million must possess at least one of these four attributes: political center, economic center, transportation hub, and industrial city.

In the past, if a city was not a provincial capital, the capital, or a transportation hub, it had virtually no chance of development. Resource-based cities with a population of millions were only temporary. Once the transformation failed, the decline was faster than imagined. Industrialization, however, gave humanity the opportunity to break through geographical barriers. Industrial workers could support more people, form stable socio-economic institutions, attract surrounding labor, and spread their influence outward from their own center.

The logic here is very simple: workers have stronger purchasing power and stronger demand, so small vendors from the surrounding area will gather here, and then the city will begin to prosper. As more people come, they bring more demand, eventually forming a complete industrial chain from rural procurement to final services. At this point, a complete industrial city is formed.

The most typical examples are those large-scale industries that started with tens or hundreds of thousands of people.

Kazdel will inevitably develop certain industries, such as tractors, combine harvesters, automatic seeders and other automated agricultural machinery. Agricultural industrialization and the upgrading of crop seed technology are the future directions of agricultural development, and the ultimate goal will be to develop vertical farms.

However, the cheapest method is still to grow crops directly. Natural resources that are readily available are always the cheapest. If you don't believe me, just ask American shale oil producers what they think of Saudi Arabia's oil drilling.

The size of the expandable mobile cities is fixed. Initially, they are small cities with tens of thousands or even thousands of people. After all, the production capacity of agricultural workers far exceeds that of traditional self-cultivating farmers. As for the local herders, the productivity level of traditional natural agriculture is higher than theirs, let alone this kind of industrialized agriculture.

"What a forgetful fool."

W casually tossed the binoculars to his adjutant, who had just spotted a group of nomadic bandits.

To the locals, these tribal nomadic warriors were regular soldiers, but in the eyes of the community, they were bandits.

They're not even as good as bandits; the bandits within the Ursus Empire are now equipped with Mosin-Nagant rifles.

What? You're asking where the guns they're holding came from?

Let's make it clear beforehand that the Community has no interest in selling weapons to bandits, but the Ursus Empire's leaky logistics management department might be a different story. According to intelligence provided by comrades who have infiltrated the Ursus Empire's army, the monthly loss rate of logistical supplies in the Ursus Empire is around 20% to 50%.

Note that this is under the condition that there is absolutely no war, no consumption, and it is just left there, yet it still loses one-fifth of its value every month. In places far from the emperor's reach, it can lose even half of its value.

It's strange that so many things are missing if no one takes them or touches them.

If they encounter an inspection from above, well, there's nothing that can be done about the armory exploding or catching fire. After all, natural disasters are unpredictable, and there's also the possibility of sabotage by rebels. If the rebels can't get through, there are always bandits. Just push it away. Officials serving within the Ursus Empire, especially those in lucrative positions, are all masters of the art of Indian flatbread.

Putting everything else aside, Liu Jiuli felt that if they were to play ping-pong, even Ma Long might not be their match. His official skills of passing through a field of beauties without getting a single petal stuck to him were simply amazing.

It's a pity that the community doesn't have such talent; they've all been sent to the shooting range by Liu Jiuli to train their bodies. It's said that as long as they can withstand the initial barrage of bullets, they'll have the chance to gradually become stronger and eventually become invulnerable to bullets and even atomic bombs.

Unfortunately, there are no successful precedents yet, but you can give it a try; you might be the first lucky one!

The Red Army soldiers of the Production and Construction Corps were already used to the harassment by these nomadic bandits, and the cavalry company immediately set out.

Wait, a cavalry company? Where did you get your horses?

Come on, calling a cavalry company doesn't necessarily mean they have to ride horses. Riding Humvees is just as good, and you can even mount grenade launchers on them.

This Humvee assault vehicle carries five people and can reach speeds of over 100 kilometers per hour off-road. Of course, whether it can roll over at that speed in the wild depends on the driver's skill; it's not recommended to attempt such a suicidal maneuver on extremely rough terrain. The entire vehicle is made of lightweight composite armor material, making it essentially a small armored vehicle. In addition to heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, it can also be armed with a combination of a 30mm autocannon and grenade launchers, an automatic mortar, or even the ever-reliable 107mm mortar. It's specifically designed to deal with poorly armed criminal gangs, making it particularly useful for bandit suppression. Incidentally, there's also a tracked version available in the northern part of the Commonwealth.

Machine guns and assault vehicles—this combination perfectly made the nomadic peoples of the grasslands sing and dance. Those who have seen this equipment are now dust in the long river of history; those who haven't, you've seen it now.

Originally, this group of people planned to make a quick buck and run away. After all, the advantage of nomads lies in their high mobility. You can see me, but you can't catch me or hit me. I'll make you furious.

But if the opposing defenses are full of long guns and short cannons waiting for you, and a group of machine gunners and armored vehicles could rush out at any time, then it's a different story, so tragic it could fill a book like "Les Misérables".

Because the enemy was so weak, the Red Army soldiers didn't even need to form ranks. They simply drove their armored assault vehicles with sharp impact guardrails indiscriminately, using general-purpose machine guns to engage the enemy.

Originally, these vehicles were all equipped with heavy machine guns, but after arriving here, everyone realized that the enemy's defenses were so strong that even a pistol could penetrate them, let alone a heavy machine gun. So why bother with heavy machine guns? Wouldn't a more flexible general-purpose machine gun with more bullets be better?

In addition, the Humvee armored assault vehicle allowed soldiers to customize it to a certain extent, so the Red Army commanders operating south of Kazdel replaced heavy machine guns with general-purpose machine guns, or simply mounted two squad automatic weapons on the vehicle, ensuring that the enemy would be beaten to a pulp in no time.

Less than five minutes into the battle, the enemy had already collapsed and was running around in disarray.

Section 319: W and Ines

(Is everyone at work? Or are some people still in school? (～￣▽￣)～)

"Comrades, you've done a good job. Let's make these scum do something of value."

W now fully agrees with Liu Jiuli's philosophy and has no psychological burden whatsoever about thoroughly cleaning up the upper and middle layers of Kazdel's garbage.

If these people aren't cleaned up, they'll become like cancer cells spreading. The best approach is to eliminate them physically before they have a chance to spread.

Don't spout nonsense about the elderly and children being innocent, or that only newborns can be forgiven and everyone else is guilty, especially the elderly. In an environment like Kazdel, is it possible for an ordinary person to be supported when they are old, frail, and unable to work?

It's important to know that before the community entered Kazdel, the elderly here would voluntarily apply for hiking after feeling their bodies decline, bringing some food with them, and then going as far away as possible to die. This was the living environment of the locals.

Therefore, in the backward areas of Kazdel, you won't see elderly people in ordinary people's homes. Even if there are a few old faces, it's because they can still work or have certain specialized skills that are indispensable, so they have been left behind. The productivity of nomadic tribes is not enough to support the lower-class population without labor power.

Children can choose to become shepherds or work hard when they grow up, but the elderly have absolutely no value. It is politically correct in Kazdel to exploit them and then let them fend for themselves.

Once you understand this, look at those elderly people who are adorned with gold and silver and dressed in fine clothes. Don't they deserve to die?

As for the local resistance, it is completely irrelevant. After they are defeated, they will immediately accept reality and surrender to the new wolf king. This is the survival rule of Kazdel. Women and children, in particular, accept their fate quickly, while the latter accept their fate without knowing anything. All unstable factors at the top are completely eliminated. The local tribes of Kazdel operate in this way without any psychological burden.

Since that's the case, let them understand what efficiency truly means.

From the perspective of waste disposal, communities with modern management systems are definitely more efficient than them.

However, the newly liberated serfs will not immediately become free. They have been treated as less than human for too long. If they are simply released, they will most likely return to the tribal rulers, because this is their ingrained mindset and survival instinct.

Surviving by banding together, even if it means becoming slaves, is their self-perception.

The best approach for such people is not to liberate them immediately and then cram them with a bunch of stuff, but rather to get them involved in labor first, without giving them too much treatment. There was a time when prisoners of war were given canned food, and the slaves were so terrified that they cried and wailed, thinking that they would be sacrificed after eating the meal.

Yes, these tribes still have the tradition of human sacrifice, and Kazdel's magic system does indeed have methods to gain power through human sacrifice. Having stayed in an inhuman environment for a long time, they have completely forgotten that they are human beings.

But looking at the food these people usually ate, the Red Army commanders and soldiers really couldn't bear it.

Low-quality grains mixed with soil and wild vegetables made into cakes—this was the food of slaves, and also the daily meals of the vast majority of people in this land. To eat meat and vegetables, you had to first become a powerful warrior and then plunder other tribes.

Their extremely barbaric and backward way of life can be described as incomprehensible.

But it's understandable when you think about it. After all, natural disasters can happen at any time. Even if you have fertile black soil, farming and settling down is a pipe dream. So you can only be nomadic. If productivity is insufficient and food is scarce, you can only rob. Once the environment becomes like this, there's no way for others to make changes.

Other countries were quite happy with Kazdel becoming what it is today and had no interest in helping the locals improve their lives, which ultimately led to the current nomadic tribal ecosystem of Kazdel.

If it weren't for the emergence of the community, this state would have continued for a very long time. They would either become mercenaries fighting stalemates or continue to sink into the mire. This is the future of Kazdel and the Sarkaz.

Now there is hope, but education and rehabilitation cannot be achieved overnight.

Considering the local conditions, Liu Jiuli gave W a great deal of decision-making autonomy and dispatched a large number of experienced Sarkaz political commissars and instructors to help complete the local transformation work.

After careful discussion, everyone felt that liberation is a process, and we should take it slowly. For those slaves, we can start by reforming the parts they understand, such as feeding them a little better, assigning them to herding and learning farming, while also providing psychological counseling, night school, and most importantly, film promotion.

Under Liu Jiuli's guidance, Miyunjiao's propaganda concept was at the forefront of the times, with countless advanced propaganda methods and a great many excellent films, especially People's Films. Starting from the lives of the broadest masses of people, it used direct images to shock everyone who could empathize, allowing artists to go deep into the countryside, conduct on-site investigations, and ultimately create film and television works that could resonate with the audience.

Just like the White-Haired Girl of yesteryear, the Sarkaz also have their own White-Haired Girl, and can find their own resonance in "The Sarkaz Story." As long as they rekindle their anger and resentment, change will follow.

When life has hope, anyone who tries to steal that hope becomes everyone's enemy.

"Okay, I'm relieved. I wish you happiness."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

"I... never mind, you'll get used to it."

W got up and left; this was the third household she had visited that day.

These people were among the first liberated and educated locals. Some were slaves, some were mercenaries, and some were nominally free (but their actual living conditions were not much better than those of slaves). Now they are all considered immigrants to the community.

Yes, immigration. Liu Jiuli wouldn't just let people in casually. The construction of the community was accomplished by the people of the community. Those who come later and want to enjoy benefits for no reason are dreaming. They must pay an equal price.

Joining the community is certainly possible, but one must first pass a standardized language test (Chinese and simplified characters, including daily customs and habits; frankly, for the remnants to complete this, they must adapt to the immigrant area for at least five years), undergo ideological education and reform (mainly to turn the ghosts of the old society back into human beings and establish a new common consciousness; those who cannot be turned back should not even think about entering the community, and should return to where they came from), and renounce their religious beliefs. Only then can one obtain a community ID card, which does not contain race or ethnicity, but only gender, address, and date of birth.

The working conditions in immigrant cities are also different from those in the community. They adopt a ten-hour workday, and the city as a whole is semi-closed. Entry and exit require a pass. The future goal of the people living here is to become citizens of the community, because immigrant cities also have regulations. Those who fail the exam within ten years will be directly deported and will never have a second chance.

Then the community started to criticize the immigration policies of other countries, saying they were unfree, undemocratic, and inhumane, especially Colombia, whose behavior of treating immigrants as waste materials was truly inhumane.

That's right, after seizing the moral high ground, they create public opinion hotspots and unleash a full-scale attack on the enemy in the propaganda arena.

Liu Jiuli didn't want to experience that scene of being at the mercy of others after losing his propaganda base a second time. At least while he was alive, anyone who dared to fool him on this issue was asking for a lifetime trip to the Sun Prison.

In any case, other countries would never dare to play this game like the Community. Their living space is limited to small mobile cities, where can they possibly accommodate so many immigrants? If every survivor were given the opportunity to become a citizen, the mobile cities would be overflowing with people long ago, and life would be impossible.

Therefore, the free media, represented by Colombia, can only fight back from other angles. But the problem is that the community is more advanced than Colombia in all dimensions, so whatever you say is nonsense.

The simplest way to strengthen one's ideology and beliefs is to make one's own people live better lives than those of other countries. With this comparison, the enemy's propaganda becomes nonsense to the people. Coupled with strong central authority and the advantage of propaganda, one becomes an impregnable fortress, leaving the enemy helpless on the outside.

W didn't know how complex and comprehensive the immigration management system was, but she was very clear that her life was much better than before, and even she herself had changed a lot.

"W, are you done with your investigation?"

“It’s over. What about you?” W looked at Ines, who was walking over from another direction.

Hmm, Ines has very white legs, it's a pity she's not in the gacha pool yet.

"Just finished, wanna grab something to eat together?"

"If we're talking about food, I know a newly opened dessert shop. How about we try it out and see what it's like?"

"it is good."

The two arrived at a dessert shop called "XSZC". They didn't know what the name meant, but as long as the food was delicious, that was all that mattered.

These shops built in the development and construction areas are mostly run by the families of soldiers accompanying the Production and Construction Corps. They are all small businesses, such as snacks, clothing, barbecue, ethnic ornaments, etc. Even under rudimentary conditions, they can set up stalls directly on the ground to sell their goods, which greatly enriches the commodity trade in the area.

Once people are well-fed, they will have other needs. Where there are needs, there is a market. When the profits from these needs are sufficient, capital will come in, and then the rest of the work will be done automatically. What the government needs to do is to regulate capital during this period and prevent it from exploiting the market.
