This Game Is Too Realistic

Although the Heavenly Capital City of the Borneo Kingdom was defended, the collapse of the Heavenly Palace brought a lot of troubles to Abu Saik.

It's not just because of the rumors among the people and the various factions using the topic to play off the topic, but to a large extent it is also partly due to his own reasons.

Like most of the Borneo people, he had superstitious nature hidden deep in his bones. However, after he took the position of commander-in-chief, he refused to admit it. He even followed the trend and recited the sutras of materialism and atheism.

This is somewhat useful at first. If you read any sentence too many times, you will have the illusion of "that's it."

Especially when he was engaged in educational reform, Absek once regarded himself as a true materialist warrior. He even mistook the guy in Cabaha who couldn't read the air as his comrade-in-arms, forgetting that the reformist officers were his real comrades-in-arms. .

䛈䀴, the practice of self-comfort is ultimately a temporary solution rather than a cure.

Even though he deliberately refused to sit on the emperor's chair, and even built a special commander's mansion to emphasize to everyone that his legitimacy had nothing to do with that heavenly palace, he was still killed when the heavenly palace collapsed. The whole "defense" was broken.

In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on his poor mental endurance. Part of the blame lies with the academy.

In his opinion, there is no surviving organization in the entire wasteland that understands science better than the academy.

As a result, the academy had just promised him that the Tiangong could still float in the sky for more than ten or twenty years, but it fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.

It is difficult not to make him doubt the academy and even science itself, starting from doubting himself.

Is there really someone out there who controls this thing with an invisible hand?

Just like that, his suspicion relapsed.

He would have nightmares almost every night, and Janusz's devilishly smiling face would definitely appear in his dreams.

It was Anwo who shot clearly, but the evil ghost seemed to know who killed him.

The guy didn't come to take revenge, he just stood outside the window, torturing him with the tiny crackling sounds.

Sometimes Abu Saike was tortured all night and couldn't sleep. The next day, he went to the commander's office with red eyes to review documents. Or he couldn't stand it in the middle of the night, so he snored like thunder and fell asleep at noon.

He didn't dare to complain to anyone about this matter. After all, if rumors spread again that the commander-in-chief was being targeted by ghosts, they might be exploited by the opposition within the federation.

The only person he could talk to was the envoy from the Alliance.

Firstly, the other party has no interest in interfering in the internal affairs of Borneo. Secondly, he can feel that they really believe what they say and are truly materialistic.

After hearing [his] troubles, Eagle also had a helpless expression on his face.

"...With all due respect, you are suspicious."

"I also know that I tried to think like this, but it's of no use at all. It's like there's a person living in my head..." Absek sighed, suddenly something moved in his heart, and he said nervously, "Do you think it could be some kind of psychic interference?"

Looking at the suspicious Absek, Eagle shook his head and explained patiently.

"That kind of device has minimal impact on humans with complete minds...Although it is not completely ineffective, at most it can only convey one or two sentences of information, making it impossible for you to dream about a specific person."

And that thing is not targeted, it usually covers an entire area.

If it was really affected by the mind interference device, then he couldn't be the only one affected.

In other words, this is his own inner demon, and he can only rely on himself to overcome it.

After thinking for a moment, Eagle tentatively asked.

"Why don't you go see a psychiatrist?"

There are many psychiatrists in the alliance.

There is a threshold for that thing, but it's not high, and the market demand is not small at all.

Not only the wastelanders who returned to civilized society, but also the players who were rescued from the looting dungeon and survived. Most of them had the experience of consulting a psychologist. This is not a shameful thing, and medical insurance can even reimburse them.

When Absek heard this, he smiled bitterly and shook his head in rejection without even thinking about it.

"Come on...if I go to see a doctor, there will probably be some rumors."

Eagle sighed.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I can't help you with this."

Looking at the regretful eagle, Absek laughed and joked.

"What the hell, after talking to you, I feel much better. I might be able to sleep peacefully tonight."

He actually didn't expect anyone to be able to help him, so he just wanted to find an outsider to talk to.

Seeing the distress in his heart, Yingying suddenly thought that [recently there was a priest from the Silver Moon Sect] who was helping refugees and preaching the gospel, so he felt a move in his heart and spoke.

"...If you don't want to see a psychiatrist, you might as well talk to the pastor of the Silver Moon Sect."

Absek was stunned for a moment.

"Pastor?"

Eagle nodded.

"Although we are atheists, we never deny the value of faith as spiritual sustenance. If you are interested, you can learn about it... Of course, this is just a suggestion."

It is unreasonable to persuade people to quit smoking by saying that smoking is harmful.

Logically speaking, using "there are no ghosts in this world" to convince superstitious people is just wishful thinking.

Instead of letting him fight against his inner torment, it is better to let him believe in something less harmful. This is also a way to face his inner heart frankly.

Eagle suddenly felt that he was a genius.

Not only does he work as a diplomat, but he can also work as a psychiatrist.

Absek seemed to be thinking about it for a moment and then nodded seriously.

"...I'll think about it."

The meeting came to an end.

After seeing off the alliance envoy, Absek paced back and forth in the office several times, and finally picked up the phone and called in a priest from Silver Moon Bay on the pretext of discussing how to rescue refugees. Take charge of the house.

The two met in the reception room.

After some pleasantries, Absek didn't mince words and went straight to the point and asked with a smile.

"Do you, the Silver Moon Sect, have anything like a pope?"

This is what he cares about most.

Although he wanted to find something to put his spirit on, he didn't want anyone to sit on his head.

Not knowing what the commander was worried about, the priest just smiled and said.

"We are not the same as those who believe in the spirit of the sea of ​​sand. We do not serve the living people, so there is no pope."

The Silver Moon Sect itself is a new interpretation of the Spirit of the Sand Sea teachings by merchants from Silver Moon Bay who skipped worship because they were lazy and went to sea legally. Therefore, their etiquette and organization are relatively loose.

Although there is a pope in the Camelback Kingdom, he is not the pope of Silver Moon Sect and Silver Moon Bay, but only the pope of Sand Sea Spirit Sect and Camel City.

"No, no... That's still pretty good."

Absek nodded approvingly, then suddenly changed the subject and asked again.

"What about doctrine? Have you ever forced others to believe in you, or brainwashed people, or used the name of faith to make money and persecute dissidents?"

Absek asked all the questions he was worried about, but then he felt that the question was too sharp, so he said with a smile in a calm tone.

"Don't get me wrong, Pastor, I'm not saying you have these questions, I'm just asking in case... After all, the people of Borneo are simple and kind-hearted, and I'm also afraid that they will be deceived by cults."

"Understood," the priest smiled gently, paused for a moment, took out a "Holy Book" from his arms, and handed it to Abu Saik's hand, "Although I can answer your confusion, I can't relieve you." Concerns. Since you have so many concerns about us, why not find the answer yourself? "

After taking the "Holy Book", Absek weighed it in his hand.

"Is it enough to pass this book?"

The priest continued gently.

"If you want to fully understand a person, you must not only listen to what he says, but also watch what he says. If you really want to fully understand us, the content of a book is certainly not enough, but it can at least be the beginning of our understanding of each other. ”

Absek raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled and put the book in his arms.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get a cat."

Listening to the amusing tone, the pastor smiled gently and continued.

"Although cats are our sacred objects, we do not force every believer to keep one. On the contrary, rather than raising and enshrining cats, our teachings encourage believers to be friends with those little cats. To get along with the elves, we only provide them with necessary help when they need us.”

Absek touched his chin with interest.

"Is there any mystery here?"

The priest said with a smile.

"There is no mystery, but in our teachings, the cat is the pet of the Silver Moon Goddess, and it is also her eyes and her incarnation in the mortal world. We believe that she wanders all year round because she yearns for freedom.㱕, so unless those elves take the initiative to stay with us, generally we will not take the initiative to take them in. "

Abu Saik was overjoyed when he heard this.

Mortal 㱕 incarnation!

Wouldn’t that ward off evil spirits? !

Thinking that the ghost that had been torturing him all day long was finally broken, he stood up excitedly.

"That's really silly! I also like cats! Sir, can you give me some advice on how many cats I can keep?"

The pastor looked at this guy blankly, not knowing why he was suddenly happy, but he calmed down and continued.

"This... there are not many cats that can explain it. But if you like cats, Commander-in-Chief, I can give you one... that is closer to people."

Absek looked hot.

"If you don't have relatives, you don't want them. If you can ward off evil spirits, then you will!"

Pastor: "...?"

…

Ever since Abseik met with the Silver Moon Sect's pastor, there were suddenly more cats in the governor's house.

Absek claimed that the Silver Moon Sect gave him a gift, but some people said that the gift was actually only one, and that he bought most of the cats from merchants in Silver Moon Bay.

Although everyone was puzzled, they didn't say anything. After all, who doesn't have a bit of a toothache?

Duwata likes women, Shah Rukh likes gold and silver, and Nigri likes to collect Alliance art. At least this Lord Abu Saik is more economical if he likes gold.

Cats always eat less than people, and those cats don’t look like expensive breeds.

At least not for now.

And since he got a cat, Absak, who was once in a state of sluggishness, suddenly became energetic again, as if he had a second spring.

Now even Duwata, who was laughing at him behind his back, couldn't make up his mind.

As the saying goes, there is a clue from the top, and the effect is from the bottom.

Since the commander-in-chief liked to keep cats, some officials also followed suit, so that keeping cats became a fashion among Tiandu's upper class for a while, and the cats temporarily escaped from the local diet.

Only member Kabah shook his head and sighed, still scolding Abu Saik for his prodigality in public.

There are still many people in Borneo who do not have enough to eat.

As a commander, not only should you set an example, but you should at least be restrained.

After hearing this, Absek was not angry at all. He just laughed. Instead, he asked the housekeeper to give him a clingy little cutie to keep. He also ordered him not to keep it to death and to report it every week. , otherwise he will be punished.

Cabaha was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to use his pen as a gun, so he could only swallow his breath.

This happened a week ago.

Absek couldn't help but grin when he looked at the report relayed to him by Internal Affairs Commissioner Wadia.

There are only two words in this report: "living".

It was obvious that Commissioner Cabaha was still angry with him.

But Absek didn't care, he just smiled and praised Wadia.

"The cat is a good thing... Since I got this cat, my temper has improved a lot."

Wadia said with a wry smile.

"That's what the Commander-in-Chief said."

Absek smiled and continued.

"I've been thinking recently about whether to send some to the soldiers on the front line."

Wadia was stunned when he heard this and said hesitantly.

"This...is a little inappropriate."

Absek said with a smile.

"There is nothing inappropriate. Our soldiers are all humans, not machines. It is not enough to just keep them alive. We must also pay attention to their mental health."

Wadia: "But... I'm worried that doing so will affect their combat efficiency."

Absek suddenly adjusted his expression, looked at his internal affairs committee member and said.

"Mr. Wadia, have you ever squatted in a trench?"

Wadia quickly shook his head and answered truthfully.

"no……"

"I've been squatting before." Looking out the window, Absek squinted his eyes. "That place is simply hell. The slightest movement can make you tense up. Stay there for two months and come out." , I can guarantee that even if you stand in front of your mother, she may not recognize you. "

Sending a group of cats to the front line was not what Absek had in mind. He had consulted people in the alliance before and heard that there was a precedent for this in other places.

Soldiers who stay in the trenches are in a state of tension for a long time and have no spiritual sustenance. Over time, they can easily develop psychological problems.

In fact, alliance officers had reported this situation to them a long time ago and suggested that they provide at least one "instructor" to each hundred-man team, and if possible, it would be best to equip them to the ten-man team level.

He is indeed doing this, but the training of instructors takes time, and the reform of the entire system cannot be completed in one day.

In comparison, sending a group of cats to the front line is a good emergency solution.

Besides, it’s good to have a cat to catch mice.

That kind of pile of dead people was a disaster area for rats. The first two pairs of leather boots he owned were chewed by rats, causing his feet to be soaked in water whenever it rained.

If Alaya could treat these brothers as individuals, they would not have rebelled.

Think of it as buying people's hearts, and the money spent will not be a loss.

"...Cats reproduce quickly and are not expensive. Just make arrangements as I say."

Seeing that the commander had already made up his mind, Wadia stopped trying to dissuade him and nodded inwardly.

"yes!"

…

As the battle to defend Tiandu comes to an end, the war between the Xilan Puppet Empire and the countries of Borneo Province has also entered a new stage.

Both sides of the war and the players behind the scenes have completely abandoned the illusion of "quick victory" and are ready for a protracted war.

First, Emperor Akbar issued a mobilization edict and a complaint against thieves, detailing ten counts of disloyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and unrighteousness committed by the Borneo rebels. He angrily accused Abu Sek of causing the anger of heaven and mankind, and incurring divine punishment. He vowed to seize control from both the Lion State and the Dog State. He mobilized an army of one million to kill the enemy bandits.

Immediately afterwards, Borneo was not to be outdone. It first listed 13 crimes against the puppet emperor, and then abolished the agreement between the old empire and the legion on Saifan Port, and once again mobilized 100,000 reserves, vowing to fight the legion to the end.

The reason why only 100,000 people were mobilized was not because the manpower pool of Borneo was at its bottom, but because Abu Saik had other plans.

Due to Borneo's series of reform measures and its victories on the front line, industries that were previously concerned about investing in Borneo's industries have changed their minds.

The priests sent by the Silver Moon Sect are a clear signal.

Although the priests who were funded by the merchants of Silver Moon Bay did come here to spread the gospel of the Silver Moon Goddess, they not only did charity and missionary work, but also inspected the local customs and business environment.

After all, the charity money they received did not come from prostitution.

If the people behind the project wanted to build a church, they would certainly have to pay attention to whether the local area had soil that could "allow seeds to germinate."

It's like asking for directions.

After all, religion itself is also a kind of business model, and it is one of the highest business models.

In addition to the merchants of Silver Moon Bay, the alliance industry players who have made good profits from their investment in Mammoth Kingdom are also very interested in this geomantic treasure land that is free of alien intrusion.

The local area has abundant human resources, and the red soil ensures the lower limit of the local people's "survival cost". There is no place more suitable for setting up a factory than here.

Especially factories with a large labor force.

In addition to this, there are also merchants from Golden Gallon Port, French Fries Port and Youtiao Port.

Especially the people of the Yue tribe who are doing business.

Although Wu Tuo deeply hurt their feelings, they still have some feelings for their homeland.

Moreover, Janusz restored the reputation of the Yue Clan people and won a lot of favor for the Heavenly King Army among the Yue Clan people.

Even if the reformist officers led by Abu Saik and the King's Army were separated, it did not affect the inheritance of this goodwill.

On the contrary, because all the black spots were eliminated, those reformist officers became better in the eyes of the Yue people.

With so many cards in hand, even a pig won't be too bad at playing.

Absek was obviously not stupid enough to be worse than a pig, and he saw the opportunity at a glance.

Therefore, rather than mobilizing all young people to the front line, he is naturally more interested in guiding them to work in factories.

Therefore, after referring to the alliance's suggestions, Abu Saik classified the Cathedral City in the central part of Borneo Province as the Central Industrial Zone and invested a full three-year financial budget to build railways and power grids there. At the same time, Focus on the development of heavy industries such as chain steel, metallurgy and heavy machinery manufacturing, with a view to complementing the industrial zones in Huzhou, Leopard State and Lowell State in the future.

Compared with the fragile agricultural economy of Borneo, this is undoubtedly a grand project.

If this plan can be realized, the local survivors may really hope to ignite the flames of industry and get rid of the embarrassing situation of having to import bicycles from Golden Gallen Port.

And this is also good for the alliance.

In the context of a feudal society, cake is an eternal thing. The more people there are, the less each person can get.

However, there is another context in this world. In this context, cake is not born, but something that can be made bigger and bigger.

As long as you don't chop it up randomly, there is always a way to make everyone get a little bit of it, at least it won't get less and less.

Just as this ancient empire was slowly waking up, the officers on the front line of the Southern Army were also completely awakened.

They gradually realized the horror of the alliance.

Not only because of the high fighting will of those volunteers, but also because that high fighting will will be contagious like a virus, turning the locals into beasts that need all their strength to deal with.

Since the airship was destroyed by the enemy, General Gurion, in the name of Akbar, established a spy agency composed of local people to investigate the five crashed airships.

At the same time, Captain Ryan, who served as the commander of the eastern front, also completely changed the previous offensive strategy of "advancing and maneuvering", and his strategic style became a steady and steady attack.

The most obvious point is that he voluntarily abandoned the northeastern hills of Akal County, retreated from the bend of the river to the border area between Shizhou and Niuzhou, dug trenches, and built gun towers and bunkers.

Doing so was equivalent to giving up the floodplains that were previously under the control of the Southern Army.

For the Southern Army, this meant that their "Blitzkrieg" and "Two Months to Destroy the Rebels" had completely declared bankruptcy.

However, in turn, they can consolidate their positions to make the supply line in the rear more stable and avoid being penetrated and harassed by the guerrillas from Borneo and Mammoth in turns.

This is obviously not a good thing for Borneo, which is in a disadvantaged position.

On the one hand, this means that the Southern Army has become serious, and it is no longer so easy for them to take advantage.

On the other hand, the Southern Army has begun to consciously want to eliminate the territory it has occupied, and is trying to turn the occupied area into its own territory.

However, in contrast, the Borneo Army has become more and more mature in this continuous battle, and many outstanding generals have been born during this period.

For example, Isher, the captain of the 30,000th team.

Another example is Yokal, the captain of the 110,000th team, and so on.

Especially Isher, this guy was particularly honored to receive the nickname "Jungle Dog" from the Wilant people, and a bounty of 1 million dinars on his head.

This guy is as cunning as a mouse, using attacks and psychological warfare to the point of ecstasy.

The Wilante officer who had fought with him even said that if the guy was given one cannon, he would be able to fire the same effect as two cannons. Give him a ten-man team, and he can be used as a hundred-man team, especially in jungles and hills, making them difficult to guard against!

Another person who received the "title" from the Weiland people was Captain Pike of the 700,000th team.

However, he became popular not because of his remarkable achievements, but because of a photo published in the "Survivor Daily".

The soldiers of the Weirant people privately called him "The Butcher".

Compared to Isher, his nickname is obviously much more domineering, and he even appeared in the "Southern Legion Victory News".

In the case of Muqiang, the Weirant people actually have many similarities with the Borneo people.

Compared with the "jungle rat" who is good at conspiracy and conspiracy, the grassroots soldiers and officers of the legion obviously appreciate the captain of ten thousand who charges with a thorn more.

Even if the head he held in his hand belonged to one of their compatriots, it did not hinder their appreciation of the strong.

After all, the jungle concept of "violence leads to respect" actually contains another layer of metaphor——

In other words, those who are weak and similar are not worthy of being called compatriots.

They would have been indignant at the massacre at Westsail because it was a contempt and humiliation for the abstract concept of "Wilrantians".

However, the suffering of a specific person or group of people will only attract their ridicule.

This has nothing to do with quantity. After all, the number 40,000 is far greater than 3,000 no matter how you calculate it.

That night, every Wilant soldier who died as a failure or surrendered received nothing but honor, only shame and ridicule...

As both sides showed their true abilities, the entire war fell into a stalemate.

A lot of things happen every day on the front line, but to people outside the front line, it seems like nothing happens.

Time soon came to August, the sultry rainy season was gradually coming to an end, and the dry season would begin in two months.

At this time, a fleet from the Death Coast approached Evernight Port in the southernmost part of the desert.

And the changes here were so big that Arman almost thought that he was in the wrong place.
