I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

She knew how many human tragedies were contained in that string of numbers, and she was also very clear that the pain of being burned to death by napalm was no less than having the person's skinned and cramped while he was alive and conscious, but so what?

Is she going to let the army storm into the city and fight a street battle in a city with a thousand years of history and magic arrays stacked up generation after generation? Is she sick?

It has come to the point of a war of annihilation where one side fights the other to the death. Who dares to have sympathy and pity for the other side?

She was not so naive as to think that if the Vatican had such weapons it would not use them against the Alliance, nor did she think that the fate of the defeated would be any better than being burned to death by napalm.

If resources are not infinite and cannot be separated, and if one's own resources are limited and one wants to make people live better and obtain more population growth and quality of life, the quantity may not be generated out of thin air and if you increase it, he will have to reduce it.

So there are only two ways to get a larger share of resources: seize other people's resources, or physically eliminate the organisms that consume resources. It's either war or exploitation, it's that simple.

Some things just have to be done. If you don't do it, the next generation will do it, and the next generation will do it.

Officers and university students within the alliance have also received courses in this area. They all understand that each era has its own underlying theme, and the limitations of productivity cannot be changed by personal will.

Therefore, they can only do what they are supposed to do and accumulate enough foundation for those who come after them so that they can break away from the constraints of the general trend.

Give them a chance, a chance to live in a society where they don't have to worry about the necessities of survival, and a chance to stand comfortably on the moral high ground to criticize the executioners and decision-makers recorded in history.

"Your Majesty, I have received a report from the elves. Recently, in order to meet order targets, a large number of factories have bypassed their supervision and discharged sewage that needs to be purified regularly into the ground. The groundwater in some areas has been polluted on a large scale."

"good very good!"

Putting down the chopsticks in her hand, she took the documents that Anna took out from her arms. Medea laughed in anger.

Through this action, she instantly understood the deep meaning. Not following the formal transfer process meant that Anna felt that the information might be leaked during the document circulation process, so there might be more than one big fish involved.

This bullshit about meeting order targets and discharging pollutants, this kind of talk can only fool the elves who are essentially relatively simple.

When considering the issue of chemical pollution emissions, Medea specially invited the elves to optimize and strengthen the plant sewage purification method she had seen in her previous life.

By optimizing and strengthening plant genes through large-scale directed proliferation, it is possible to simultaneously remove various harmful elements that exceed the standard in various wastewaters. The effect is very good and the purification speed is not slow, which is a perfect solution to the problem of industrial chemical pollution.

At the same time, the replacement frequency of the plant system can also be used to indirectly calculate the approximate output value of the factory, which can be used to detect whether there are problems such as illegal overtime, false reporting of production, etc.

For this purpose, Medea has taken a double insurance policy, because in theory, the factory itself can regularly replace new plants to ensure the purification cycle, and there is no need for the elves to visit and inspect. They only need to cultivate seeds regularly.

But she arranged this job just for the purpose of two-way supervision and to ensure the effectiveness of monitoring data to the greatest extent.

In this case, bypassing the purification device and discharging sewage underground is to evade official supervision. There is a big trick here. If the malicious discharge of sewage is caught, all the management in the factory will be investigated. Even if they do not retire internally, they will have no chance of promotion in this life. There is no need to pay such a huge price for being lazy and rushing the work.

Unless it is to falsely report production capacity

The alliance is now fully committed to transforming its wartime economic system, with the vast majority of resources being directed toward the military industry. Due to massive supply cuts in the civilian industry, prices of consumer goods other than non-daily necessities and necessities are rising rapidly.

The most typical example is the mechanical watch launched by the alliance two years ago. In two years, the price has skyrocketed from the official suggested retail price of 30 yuan to 400 yuan this year, and it is still in short supply.

There is no way around it, because currently only the Alliance can make gadgets of such precision, and those watch factories have been pulled by the military to make aircraft engines and have long since stopped production.

However, the imbalance between supply and demand has also indirectly raised the premiums of many civilian products, making things profitable.

But no matter how you operate, you must eventually have a factory to produce it, which means that it is useless to bypass supervision. This is why Medea quickly understood what they were doing.

As long as you think about who benefits from sewage discharge, you can roughly guess the truth hidden behind it.

After thinking for a long time, Medea said, "During this special period, we will not take any action for the time being. We will first send some investigation teams to alert the enemy and make them restrain themselves. We will also organize scholars and experts from the elves to conduct emergency deep purification and cleaning of the polluted areas."

"During this period, you should first check the consumer market for valuable commodities that have been inflated in price over the past year but still have a certain trading volume. Count the various production factories and metal ratios required for their manufacture, and then narrow down the precise range little by little."

"Any leading cadres who tried to interfere with the coordination were all recorded in the files and mapped into a human network grid, and their social networks, clan power, and other aspects were investigated."

"I understand, Your Majesty!"

After drinking a sip of tea, Medea said quietly: "Keep the contaminated soils for now. They will have their own uses."

Chapter 272 Mechanized Armored Cluster

Is Anna a butcher? She is undoubtedly a butcher to betrayers or those with impure thoughts, because she is a typical fanatic who can do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

No matter what pillars of the empire, meritorious veterans, or anyone who affects the interests of the alliance, Medea has to take old friendships into consideration, but Anna, who is the director of the Internal Affairs Department and the Central Secret Investigation Bureau, dares to take them down without any scruples.

Because the National Taxation and Internal Affairs Department happen to be the highest violent organs in the two fields of economy and political parties, the Central Secret Investigation Bureau can directly investigate the senior officials of the Alliance country, and it is completely legal, compliant and reasonable.

In other words, when Medea is in mascot status, Anna is actually the most powerful one in the league.

People like this, let alone the second and third generations, even if his great-grandfather came, he would listen to the scolding calmly.

Because there is a very paradoxical logic in this.

The further back in time one goes, the closer one will get to the Astal family period. Many third and fourth generation honorary nobles in the Imperial Army most likely had ancestors who were super veterans of that period.

Then they will find a very interesting problem, that is, Anna, whose appearance still remains at her peak around 30, was Medea's head maid at that time.

Since ancient times, personal attendants have become high-ranking officials. This is also a default system for cultivating right-hand men. Many local officials start their first job as the first secretary of the boss.

In terms of seniority, she is more experienced than their elders. Many of the old heroes who are already in their sixties or seventies think that Anna is still their grandmother. In other words, even if they bleed dry, they will not be as famous as her. Therefore, just by standing there, she has a natural suppressive effect on all those who talk about seniority.

It's not that no one has reminded Medea of ​​the problem of too much power, but she just doesn't care much. Anna holds the power of life and death over central and local officials, it would be strange if they didn't hate her.

Power is a very interesting thing.

Those who get it will want more, will want to reach the top, and even if they cannot reach the top, they do not want too many organizations or individuals that can threaten their power and position.

It is best to be interconnected and restrained with each other, because only in this way can we better exchange interests and exclude dissidents.

But Medea didn't do that.

Anna is a necessary existence. The source of her power is ultimately granted by Medea. If one wants to maintain the self-cleanliness of the political system, there must be an additional system to guarantee its self-cleanliness ability to prevent it from being irreparably rotten from beginning to end.

Even if it is rotten from beginning to end, the first set can be eliminated and the second set can be used to take over the function for temporary operation.

So she gave Anna the power to skip the process and deal with all the people and things that needed to be dealt with when necessary. Except for Medea, no other organization or individual could stop her.

For this reason, most of the honorary titles such as honorary director and president of various important institutions, which had previously been held by Medea, were later handed over to Anna, turning them from honorary titles into positions of real power.

This kind of power that transcends the organizational structure will force the coalition's ruling system to have a minimum prerequisite when dealing with problems, which is to not give Anna any reason or opportunity to intervene.

Once she sets her eyes on you, even the king of heaven can capture her.

This is also a kind of dictatorship.

The core of her power comes from Medea. Medea is the sword of judgment within the alliance in Anna. She loses her support when Anna is not around, so the two are highly consistent in both personal relationship and interests.

Medea has passed the period when it needed positions and departments to rule the alliance.

Now, she only needs to raise her arm to make sure that all opponents will not find any space to survive in the alliance's social system. Only when the two are integrated can the alliance be complete.

So now she can delegate many rights and affairs to specific people, completely regularize the operation of the alliance and free her energy from it.

Compared with the possible consequences of raising a behemoth that could be eliminated by her at any time, Mitia still felt that the collusion between central and local officials in the corruption case was more hateful and would cause endless trouble.

And now Anna's special role is reflected

A secret network that bypasses the internal regulatory system is difficult to infiltrate the system because the two parties are not in the same circle of interests and naturally pursue different things.

But Medea doesn't have much energy to focus on this for now.

According to the battle reports from the front and the reports from the General Staff, the Allied vanguard, after being devastated by the Seres Air Force, waited in place until the air force in the rear caught up before continuing to move forward.

A large number of air cavalry units and Allied fighter planes continued to search and guard the airspace around the army. The scale of the assembled troops was too large, and the difficulty of air force bombing soared.

The Allied air force may not be able to compare with the Alliance in quality, but the number of hundreds of thousands is too exaggerated, and they will be easily surrounded if they are not careful.

If we want to continue to make inroads into the Allied Forces' vanguard, it will be difficult to achieve the desired effect even at the cost of heavy casualties.

Therefore, the General Staff changed the target of the attack and set it on the large Allied force, which was huge but bloated due to the consumption of material supplies and coordination.

The choice of this strategic goal is very whimsical and bold, but after actual analysis, there is indeed room for maneuver.

Because the army was so large and was drawn from different countries, even though they were the main force, they did not march together.

There are 600 million allied troops scattered throughout the four states of Hilarorana, Torveta, Hosas, and Mominde. No country can withstand the supply pressure of an army of this size.

Therefore, they chose the war zone marching method, that is, one troop at each point, multiple troops in one area, and the two sides in different directions within the area, so they can generally achieve the goal of not interfering with each other's regional allocation of food and grass, while also providing mutual assistance and reinforcement.

Together they marched toward the states of Medanola and Braigat, both of which had rivers running deep into the interior, allowing Allied ships to resupply them by sea.

However, because the expected number of enemies is too exaggerated, the Alliance is worried that if the soldiers' battlefield survival rate is too low, it will greatly affect the speed and quality of reserve recruits.

At the same time, adhering to the overall strategic plan of not engaging in a war of attrition with the Allies, the majority of the Alliance's reinforcements to the front lines during this period were mechanized armored divisions, attempting to maximize the Alliance's advantages with armored forces and avoid the loss of human resources.

In order to cope with the impending winter erosion of the continental road system and to simplify production hours, these new mechanized armored divisions were equipped with a considerable number of medium and heavy wheeled assault guns.

The heavy assault gun uses an 88mm caliber main gun and a 10x10 full-time four-wheel drive chassis. There are also versions modified for air defense and shield positions.

The medium type has a 6x6 chassis structure and is responsible for battlefield reconnaissance and guiding the fire accuracy of Tiger tanks and heavy assault guns.

The deployment of small and medium-sized tanks was cancelled, and all used were wheeled assault guns, Tiger heavy tanks and tracked multiple rocket launchers, which basically achieved range strike and battlefield target guidance in three dimensions: medium, long and ultra-long range.

The size of the mechanized armored forces that the Alliance transported to the port of Bomawana and the Bath area was roughly five armored armies. The large number of mobile combat forces deployed was to ensure that the Allied forces could not break through from other directions after hitting a wall in Gulleg.

Because if they dare to disperse their forces, the alliance with a large number of armored vehicles will have the opportunity to penetrate and divide them and defeat them one by one.

If the opposing commander had any common sense, he would not think of racing with the Alliance armored vehicles using his soldiers' legs.

Chapter 273 Armored Breakthrough Tactics

This deployment of troops allowed the General Staff to discover that, including the armored forces that had been stationed in the two defense lines of Gurleg and Maninos in advance, and the three tank armies among the 9 regular troops that had supported the Surya Kingdom in the early days, they had mechanized armies in Surya.

Assuming that an army has about 700 tanks and assault guns, that would be a large armored cluster of about armored vehicles. If it were equipped with a mechanized infantry division that could keep up with the speed of mobility, then the Alliance would be fully capable of bypassing the elite Allied corps in the front through a strategic shift and harassing the main Allied forces in the rear.

It even completely cut off the connection between the main force and the vanguard force, dividing it into two.

However, this idea is still one of the alternative plans at the discussion meeting, because not to mention the boldness of the idea, the massive amount of resources needed to implement this plan is enough to discourage most generals and staff.

The high-speed movement and combat of thousands of tanks and assault guns would cost an astronomical amount of combat time, fuel, magic crystals, and ammunition while maneuvering on the road. To mobilize such a large-scale army and so many precious resources, an effective plan must be put forward.

The resource supply reserves deployed by the alliance on the mainland are limited. If most of them are lost due to rash actions, it will directly disrupt the alliance's overall plan.

It's not that the alliance cannot afford the supply, but the transportation of materials requires time to coordinate all aspects such as loading, unloading, etc. The transportation efficiency is so high that only so many things can be transported in a period of time. Naturally, this supply system cannot be easily broken.

The huge armored force itself has more stringent requirements for logistical supplies than ordinary mechanized corps. If there is a problem with the supply of materials, these behemoths will be just a pile of scrap metal weighing dozens of tons, not even as useful as bullets.

If a war plan of this scale fails to achieve the expected results, no one can afford the responsibility.

Because the chain reaction is likely to cause the alliance to lose the outer depth of the existing strategic fulcrums on the main continent and be forced to retreat to the sub-continent to fight local battles.

As the Alliance has to supply materials to the main continent, most of its factories are located near the coastline. If someone breaks into the local industry, the loss is conservatively estimated to be more than 30%. No one can afford such consequences.

However, although this was just a small episode, many of the officers who were listening were thoughtful, especially the officers of the armored forces, who all began to discuss it in a low voice.

In fact, there is some dissatisfaction with the current Alliance Grand Strategic Armored Forces, because in the study and training at the Military Academy, armored forces have many definitions, but there is no practical case of letting them stay in place and serve as artillery positions.

There are so many artillery pieces with this kind of energy supply. Is it necessary to waste more industrial capacity to install wheels on artillery pieces? This completely abandons the biggest advantage of tanks and armored vehicles.
