I'm starting a revolution in Terra

So Su Xing planned to occupy part of the mines in the snowfield first. In addition, there were many infected people and ordinary people captured by the Ursus patrol team in the mines. He could rescue them while taking over the mines. It could be said to be a win-win situation. Su Xing won twice.

Su Xing was not worried about Hellagur. With advanced weapons and strong logistical support, if they could still defeat him, Su Xing felt that Hellagur could go back to farming.

Although the coalition forces have more people, Su Xing will not let Hellagur engage in a head-on battle with them. He will just use guerrilla warfare to delay the battle. If possible, Su Xing also does not want the People's Liberation Army to suffer too many casualties.

Chapter 105 Caramel

You have to know that the number of People's Liberation Army is only more than 50,000 so far, and this includes new members.

If we exclude the 20,000 new troops, the number of the People's Liberation Army is just over 30,000, and there are not many intellectuals among them.

Especially those who have firm ideas and possess a lot of knowledge.

These people would be heartbroken to lose Su Xing. After all, talent is always the most valuable.

So before Helag left, Su Xing told him to achieve the greatest results with the least losses. There was enough food and bullets anyway, so there was no need for a quick victory or blitzkrieg. A protracted war would be enough.

Helag said it was no problem. After all, the leaders of the People's Liberation Army were all talented people, and losing one of them would be a loss.

Anyway, he doesn't need to worry about logistics issues, so Hellagur is not afraid of a protracted war.

It just requires a long battle. Herag is worried that if it lasts too long, some people will start to hate fighting. This kind of thing is too common. He has encountered many of them when he was a general.

Su Xing was not worried about this. People with faith and people without faith are two different things. There are not many people with faith in the Ursus coalition. Most of them were forced to join the army. These people hoped that the nobles would be defeated as quickly as possible, and it would be best if they all died.

Although there are officers in the army who are loyal to Ursus, their number is not as many as imagined. After all, the army has long been corrupt, and things like killing innocent people to claim credit, accepting bribes, and bullying men and women have become very common.

There are not many troops that can maintain military discipline, or rather, very few. These people look down on those corrupt troops.

The two sides would not cooperate at all if it were not for the purpose of countering the People's Liberation Army. It is already considered restraint if they do not fight when they encounter each other.

In the eyes of those patriotic Ursus officers, the other officers were all parasites of Ursus. They had complained to the emperor, hoping that these officers would be thoroughly investigated and, preferably, killed.

After all, because of these officers, the people of Ursus have lost their trust in the army.

In the eyes of corrupt officers, those officers with strict military discipline are bastards who hinder their good deeds, and these people wish these officers would die.

Moreover, because the corrupt officers have colluded with the nobles, their power is much stronger than those patriotic officers, so the struggle between patriotic officers and corrupt officers has always been at a disadvantage.

Many people were framed by the nobles and were either removed from their posts or exiled to remote places, which made many officers lose confidence in Ursus.

Although the emperor wanted to reorganize the army, his power was not as great as he imagined. In addition, these officers were backed by nobles, so even the emperor could do nothing.

The emperor was very conflicted when the coalition of nobles went to fight against the rebels. He hoped to wipe out the rebels, but he also wanted the rebels to kill the coalition.

After all, no one knows the situation in Ursus better than him. The nobles have completely monopolized the channels for upward mobility. If this continues, Ursus may be overthrown by the people below like the former Eagle Empire.

If the rebels killed the coalition forces, then the nobles would not be a threat, because they had already lost their army. Nobles without an army were like beasts without teeth, and they were not to be feared.

But if the rebels win, another thing will happen, that is, the power of the rebels will have grown to a point that even Ursus will be afraid of.

After all, the regular army and logistics of the noble coalition this time add up to more than 800,000 people. If they are defeated, then Ursus might really have to change hands.

When the emperor thought of this, he was very worried. If Ursus perished under his hands, he would really have no face to see the ancestors of Ursus.

Su Xing didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The coalition war between the People's Liberation Army and the nobles was a protracted war. After all, even if the People's Liberation Army wiped out the coalition forces completely, it would not be a good thing.

The reason is that the number of the People's Liberation Army is too small and there are not many talented people. Even if they conquer Ursus now, they do not have the ability to govern it. Ursus is too big and has too much territory. The current People's Liberation Army does not have enough talents to govern these places.

As for letting the original people govern Ursus, the People's Liberation Army will have to face the smears of these people and deal with rebellions that occur from time to time.

After all, if the People's Liberation Army rules Ursus, the interests of the original vested interests will be damaged. In order to protect their own interests, these people will definitely spare no effort to trip up the People's Liberation Army. Su Xing does not want to cause innocent casualties because of these people.

Therefore, the war between the People's Liberation Army and the Allied Forces must be a protracted war. Su Xing can also take advantage of the fact that the nobles' army is dragged in the snowfield and has no time to withdraw, and allow Lev and others to develop rapidly in the city of Ursus.

Once Lev and others have enough talents, they may be able to take advantage of the opportunity to capture the mobile city.

However, Su Xing also knew that it would take a long time to achieve this goal, and these nobles still left their troops in their mobile cities. They could not send all their troops to the snowfield to fight the rebels. What if the rebels took the opportunity to steal from their homes?

Even if the rebels didn't come, other nobles might have come.

Don't think that the nobles are a monolithic group. Some nobles covet the territories of other nobles. If one noble sends all his troops to the coalition, the nobles who leave behind their troops will definitely attack the territories of this noble.

When Kosciuszko died, his territory was divided up among many nobles. If a noble's territory was not guarded by troops, the nobles close to him would not think about how to remind the noble to pay attention to safety, but would think about how to take over the noble's territory.

Because they were worried that other nobles might attack them, even if they sent their own troops to fight the rebels, they would not send out all of them.

It is the same whether it is a great noble or a small noble, even a grand duke. After all, if other grand dukes knew about it, they would not miss this opportunity.

........

It is precisely because they know these things that the development of Lev and others is relatively slow. If the nobles knew of Lev's existence, they would definitely investigate every place in the city. In that case, who knows how many innocent people would be affected?

Su Xing shook his head. Lev and other intelligence personnel were not very powerful now. They would only be able to exert their strength when the People's Liberation Army attacked these mobile cities.

Shaking off the thoughts in his mind, Su Xing looked at the maltose on the table in front of him. This was sugar made from sweet potatoes. Previously, due to lack of time and the problem with Ursus, the idea of ​​making sugar had been shelved.

Now that Su Xing has time, he can make sugar. There is already a lot of grain in reserve, and the planting land is still being continuously cultivated. There is no shortage of grain, so sugar making can be put on the agenda.

Su Xing took advantage of this time to make maltose using sweet potatoes. Su Xing took a bite of the maltose and found it was very sweet.

Chapter 106: Rush to Buy

After being in this world for so long, this was the first time that Su Xing had tasted candy that was not very sweet.

Although Chernobyl had sold candy before, the production of that candy was too crude and it was too sweet to be cloying. Su Xing couldn't eat any more after taking one bite.

After all, Chernobyl is close to the snowfield all year round, and the severe cold makes the people here crave high-fat and high-sugar foods, and the taste of the people here is extremely heavy.

The sweets they eat are so sweet that they are unbearable to Su Xing, but Su Xing's taste is not that strong.

The maltose made from sweet potatoes is very suitable for Su Xing's taste. The nobles of Ursus may find this taste bland, but it is very good for ordinary people.

You have to know that ordinary people in Chernobyl are not eligible to buy luxury goods like sugar. These are things that only nobles and capitalists can afford.

However, with the method of making sugar from sweet potatoes, the price of sugar can be brought down. At least it will not be as expensive as before.

Su Xing called some people over and told them how to make sugar.

Next, Su Xing set up a sugar factory in the food zone and began to recruit workers.

The method of making sugar is not difficult, you can learn it after practicing it a few times.

As for whether the method of making sugar should be kept secret? Su Xing felt that there was no need to be so cautious. After all, in addition to the method, the most important thing in making sugar was the raw materials.

Even if other people find out, it doesn't matter. Sweet potatoes are a material that is strictly controlled. It's okay to make some maltose with sweet potatoes, but it's impossible to make sugar on a large scale.

Moreover, the people at the sugar factory kept the method strictly confidential. This is sugar making. After learning that Su Xing taught them the method, these people regarded the sugar-making method as more important than their own lives.

It’s not their fault that they are so cautious, but here in Chernobyl, sugar is truly more valuable than an ordinary person’s life.

You have to know that sugar is so scarce that even the nobles can't eat it every day. You can imagine how precious sugar is.

Immediately after the sugar factory was established, workers came to sign up, and there were quite a few of them.

After all, they saw the name of the sugar factory. In that era, sugar was an absolute luxury, and the sugar factory was a very high-end place for workers.

These people also thought that if they became workers in a sugar factory, they might be able to get a share of the leftover scraps in the factory.

Even some crumbs or powdered sugar are good things for the workers. After all, the price of sugar is something that ordinary people can never afford.

While the recruitment was going on here, Su Xing had already led the staff in the sugar factory to make sugar using sweet potatoes.

After all, although these people have mastered the methods, it will not work if they have not practiced them themselves.

Su Xing watched them making sugar from the side. Even if there were mistakes, he would just remind them and let them find a way to solve it.

It is impossible for Su Xing to teach them every detail, so they need to solve these problems by themselves.

Fortunately, these people were smart and they quickly found a solution after Su Xing pointed out the problem.

Soon, a pot of malt sugar was made. Su Xing took a look at it and found that it didn't look very good. Moreover, because it was overcooked, the color of the malt sugar was darker and he could smell a slight burnt smell.

The workers were a little embarrassed. They didn't expect to fail after making all the preparations.

Su Xing didn't care. After all, it was good enough to achieve this level for the first time. As long as he practiced more, making sugar would not be difficult.

Su Xing said, "What are you standing there for? Don't you want to try the candy you made yourself?" As he said that, Su Xing picked up a piece of maltose and put it in his mouth.

After eating, Su Xing nodded. It tasted good. Although it was a bit burnt, it did not affect the sweetness.

When the sugar-making workers saw Marshal Su Xing speaking, they also picked up a piece of maltose and took a small bite.

The sweet taste filled the mouth, and many people couldn't help but shed tears after eating it.

For these people, sugar is something they cannot afford, so of course they are happy to have it now.

Although malt sugar tastes good, they will not eat all of it. The rest can be taken back for their family to try.

Su Xing calculated some of the costs of sugar production and to what extent the price could be lowered after expanding the scale.

After doing the math, I found that the price of sugar is still a bit expensive even after mass production. After all, the price of sugar-making materials is not low, and the cost of making sugar from sweet potatoes is not low either. One pound of sweet potatoes can not produce much sugar.

Because of these reasons, the price of maltose is not low.

But even so, the price of maltose is much lower than the previous price of sugar in Chernobyl, and ordinary people can afford it even if they grit their teeth.

And as sugar mills begin to expand production, the price of maltose will also fall.

Su Xing calculated the current wages of the workers in Chernobyl. It was no problem for them to buy one or two taels of sugar after working for five or six days.

This price is already very cheap, at least ordinary people can afford it.

If it were the previous Chernobyl, ordinary people would not be able to afford something like sugar, and the price would be extremely expensive.

Soon, the sugar factory started to get on track. The raw materials for sugar making and sweet potatoes kept entering the factory, and then a large amount of maltose was produced and entered the Chernobyl market.

The people of Chernobyl were crazy when they saw the malt sugar in the market. You know, in the past, they could not even see sugar, let alone buy it.

Now that they can buy maltose at low prices, people in Chernobyl can't wait to buy all of it home.

The first batch of malt sugar was sold out within minutes after it was put on the market. Although the price of malt sugar is not low, it can be said to be extremely cheap compared to the previous price.

Fortunately, Su Xing had already given the order that the purchase of malt sugar was limited, otherwise if one person bought a large amount, others would have no chance to buy it.

The current sweet potato reserves are not enough to make too much maltose, let alone supply it to the entire Chernobyl, so Su Xing can only limit the purchase of each person to prevent someone from not being able to buy it.

But even so, the sales of malt candy are still very crazy, and they are basically sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves.

Those who came slowly could only watch others leave happily with the malt candy they bought, and they could only wait anxiously for the next sale of the malt candy.

The sugar factory is also urgently recruiting workers. Fortunately, there is still a lot of interest in these workers because becoming a worker in the sugar factory allows you to buy maltose in advance, and no one can refuse this.

After Su Xing taught everyone the method of making sugar, he didn't care about it anymore. After all, he had a lot of things to do. In addition to the documents that Chernobog had to deal with every day, he also had to deal with issues on the front line.

In addition to these, there are still many experiments to be done. It can be said that Su Xing is now very busy.

Chapter 107 Kal'tsit's Speculation

While Su Xing was busy, Kal'tsit and others were not idle either.

Shining has been reading the Communist Manifesto recently, and she thinks she has seen a way to save Kazdel.

However, although Shining is smart, the methods in the book cannot be used casually in Kazdel.

After all, Kazdel's situation is different from Ursus', and Kazdel also has a powerful man like the Lord of the Royal Court who can form an army of one person, so it is basically impossible to start a revolution.

The key point is that the Sarkaz education in Kazdel is too backward. Although most of the ordinary people in Ursus are illiterate, they are already advanced compared to Kazdel. After all, there are still some intellectuals in Ursus.

However, the illiteracy rate of the Sarkaz in Kazdel has reached 99.9%, and people with a certain level of knowledge are rare.

Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for them to work together to do anything, let alone a revolution.

After all, most of the Sarkaz people have become mercenaries, and they have killed each other before.

And these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that most of the Sarkaz now can't even get enough food to eat. Under such circumstances, how could there be such a thing as Sarkaz wanting to revolt.

Shining feels that there is a sentence in the book that is very true: the economic base determines the superstructure, and people will not care about other things if they don’t have enough food to eat.

Even if someone among the Sarkaz can see the situation in the country of Kazdel and wants to change the lives of the lower class, this person must have enough food to eat.

Although the Sarkaz have strong physical fitness, they are also carbon-based creatures and need to eat. What can a starving person do even if he sees Kazdel's situation?

He was not thinking about how to solve Kazdel's problem, but filling his own stomach, because the dead people could not save Kazdel.

The problem of food directly stumped Shining. Due to years of war, Kazdel's industry has been completely abandoned.
