- Vicki is now the full-time housekeeper of Lizhuang, and Big Horn, Little Trumpet and Little Trumpet have stepped back from their busy work to extend their lives as much as possible. The big loudspeaker handles Li Zhuang's communications, the small loudspeaker is responsible for security, and the small loudspeaker provides diversion and backup for the two brothers.
Li Zhuang asked the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute to develop an auxiliary system. Three speakers form a smart ring and the auxiliary system can approach Vicky's computing performance. However, there are still some deficiencies in intelligence, which cannot be made up for.
Vicky compiled a document for Li Zhuang, which contained detailed data and possibility analysis, giving him a clear understanding of the distribution of his enemies.
The company currently has three major intelligence agencies. The Department of Internal Affairs oversees Weizhou and the company, the Overseas Investigation Bureau is responsible for countries around the world, and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security focuses on Australia. Once identified as an enemy by Vicki, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Overseas Investigation Service and the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security will conduct detailed investigations on the target person according to their respective terms of reference to determine the true threat level. During the mass assassination the year before last, the 9th Department of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Security killed many people. This is Li Zhuang's rule. As long as the enemy launches an attack, it will automatically enter a counterattack state.
Da Mian, who likes to run around and wander around, is finally at peace, which greatly reduces the load on the security department and makes his bodyguards breathe a sigh of relief. No one likes to be in a state of tension all day long.
There are many people in mainland China who have grudges against the company, but most of them do not rise to the level of enemies. The Overseas Investigation Bureau is responsible for three divisions in China. This department is very powerful in China and collects a lot of information. This is a natural advantage and a double-edged sword.
Li Zhuang sat on the comfortable boss chair and looked at the people in the audience, all of whom were brought back by Li Zhenqiang and the others. Li Zhuang's memory is indeed a bit incredible. He can remember many people he has only met once, even after many years. Among the prisoners were peripheral members of the former big family, two of whom Li Zhuang had met, but whose names were unknown. Most of the main members are now hiding in Citi Country, not in the country.
Some people say that the power of a king lies within five steps. This does not apply to Li Zhuang. Waves of assassins over the years have been unable to do anything to him. It's not that he is very powerful, it's mainly because his behavior is a bit special, his calculations are precise, and his range of activities is very small.
Li Zhuang¡¯s robot-like indifference when considering the problem was a great pressure on the group of people who were arrested, especially since the master had a bad reputation in some aspects.
"Don't you feel it's a pity that you fell short of the success? Frankly speaking, your planning level is not very good."
Li Zhuang¡¯s words made the employees of the company next to him feel as if the sun was rising from the west. His boss ¡°robot¡± rarely spoke such nonsense.
There are people who are frightened and pale, but there are also dumb people who don¡¯t understand anything and people with interesting ideas, such as the guy who talks to me.
"How could you defeat us if you didn't rely on advanced weapons? This is not a matter of our strategy," someone said with an unconvinced face.
Li Zhuang laughed dumbly. The Chinese people¡¯s thinking mode places too much emphasis on humanities and often makes logical inconsistencies. Therefore, most sociological research results are not highly operable.
I remember many years ago, someone analyzed the combat effectiveness of the Citizen Army and said that their level was very average. If it were not for their superior weapons, they would be a low-level army. At that time, Li Zhuang thought this statement was funny. The Citizen military has been fighting like this for more than a hundred years, and it has still become the world's largest military power. Advanced weapons are not the cause, but the result. The social system of Citigroup has determined that the military is accustomed to this kind of combat method. It spares no effort to develop new weapons and use equipment to make up for the weakness of will caused by its own cultural system.
In fact, there are many strong-willed elites within the Citizen Army, and the special forces are even more famous and have rich practical experience.
With the acceleration of the development of weapons, it is becoming increasingly obvious that will is no match for steel. Skilled combat skills are greatly reduced in the face of increasingly advanced auxiliary systems. This is not to say that combat skills are not important. Ordinary people wearing MA212 have almost no chance of defeating elite warriors with the same equipment. However, if elite warriors do not have good equipment, they can only rely on years of actual combat experience and strong will to survive.
Actual combat experience requires time and environment, and people are not machines, and their will can change. In today's increasingly developed world, the importance of weapons is increasing day by day.
The rebels¡¯ planning level is theoretically very high, and all relationships are well thought out, but in reality they are not very smart. This is due to a generational difference in thinking.
Li Zhuang waved his hand and asked Jinchang to take the person away for interrogation. He didn't want to argue with such a person. He asked Li Zhenqiang to bring the prisoners over, not to humiliate them. This feeling was boring, but he was just a little curious to see who was planning and if he had any acquaintances.
It¡¯s almost seven o¡¯clock, even though it¡¯s winter, the sky is already dark??bright. After not sleeping all night, Li Zhuang was a little tired. After drinking the recovery fluid specially prepared by the Medical Health Group, he squinted for a few minutes and soon became energetic.
While he still had some free time, he took the time to watch the live battlefield videos brought back by Li Zhenqiang. These things were required by WLMs.
The scene of this drama is not ordinary. There have been frequent riots in China in recent years, but never has a rebel army been so powerful. Except for nuclear bombs and fixed-wing aircraft, all the weapons equipped by the army are available and the combat readiness is sufficient. However, due to the nature of the matter, there is no follow-up support.
The densely covered rocket launchers are close to being eliminated today when electromagnetic guns, lasers and high-speed missiles are popular. The flight speed is too slow, the accuracy is not high, and the cost-efficiency ratio is average. It can be seen from the live video of the battlefield that the anti-aircraft electromagnetic guns and lasers at the 13th site completely controlled the sky above the battlefield, the rockets that were slightly closer were destroyed, and the anti-tank missiles did not play their due role.
Like most men when he was young, Li Zhuang was fond of the military. The rapid development of WLMs is related to his indulgence. Force is the basis of the right to speak externally. After all, humans are still animals and cannot escape the characteristics of biological intelligence. Whenever conflicts intensify and cannot be resolved through negotiation, their true nature will always be exposed, and the final result will always be war. War and peace have been eternal themes since recorded history.
Some big businessmen always think that money can control everything, but they have never succeeded. Even in places like Citigroup, where consortiums are extremely powerful, the military is still relatively independent today as information exchange becomes increasingly convenient.
Manpower is sometimes poor. It is such an arrogant and ridiculous idea for a family to want to control the world. The current power of United Technologies far exceeds the "Sixth Empire" mentioned in a novel that is regarded as documentary literature. However, it is not essentially the company of Li Zhuang alone, but many people who have similar ideas and have been cultivated. A social system composed of people with similar ideas is not much different from a country.
Even if Lizhuang doesn't care, it still runs spontaneously. Li Zhuang didn't want to take care of it. Such a huge group had so many affairs. If he did, he wouldn't be able to take care of it even if he didn't sleep for 24 hours. He wouldn't have time to do research. This went against his original intention of creating this group.
Only those who understand human nature and know the trade-offs can be invincible. People who want to possess everything have no friends, let alone a large number of followers.
Judging from the battlefield video, the opinions within the opponent's relationship circle are not unified, and some are just providing some conveniences out of family friendship and blood ties. The rebels still paid great attention to the safety of ordinary people in combat and did not use high-power weapons against residential areas. This should not be the request of the rebel high-level, but an adjustment by middle- and lower-level officers and ordinary soldiers based on the actual situation.
No matter how well the civil war is fought, there is nothing to brag about. Using force against unarmed civilians is not what an elite force should do. The political philosophies can be different, but once there is no sense of honor, this army will quickly become disorganized. As a violent machine, the army has its own operating rules and is often faced with dilemmas. A group that has a tendency to kill without caring will have only one outcome, which is to be abandoned by the collective. This is something that any normally functioning social system will inevitably do, and the social systems of most countries are relatively normal.
This field force, which was stationed in Province H five years ago, has a long history. It has fought in national wars and is strong. The K City garrison would have been defeated faster if it hadn't been for the large number of good guys gifted by WLMs.
"What a pity," Li Zhuang sighed secretly. After the defeat, the rebel designation will definitely be cancelled. The capital will not be lenient and will comfort him while benefiting. No matter how clever the politicians' methods are, they can still find clues, and it is those routines that are repeated over and over again.
"Zhuangtou, the garrison commander General Chen, Mayor Zhou and Speaker Li are visiting," Li Meng's voice sounded, and his black face was revealed in the video system on the desktop.
"Invite them to come in, I'm in the office," Li Zhuang stood up, preparing to move his somewhat stiff body.
The design of the underground building in the laboratory park is complex, with long passages and twists and turns. Li Zhuang walked in circles, and it took four or five minutes for the visitor to arrive at his office.
The two parties met and exchanged pleasantries for a while, which was all useless nonsense. After sitting down, they got down to business.
"General Chen, how are the casualties of the troops?" Li Zhuang was very concerned about this garrison that bought him a lot of time.
General Chen is a fellow villager of Su Yunyi, Li Zhuang's brother-in-law. He has a dark face and a strong body because he has been training for many years. However, he still blushed when he heard Li Zhuang's question.
"Don't mention those bastards, the casualties are less than 10%, the others have all fled," the general said very embarrassed.
"Haha, it's okay. It's not a national war. I'm very grateful for helping us buy so much time," Li Zhuang thought openly.
The garrison in K City is not Lizhuang¡¯s private army.You can help, but there is no need to talk about working hard. Most of the casualties on the battlefield were caused by the rebels advancing too fast and firing too hard. This kind of messy battle at the top confused both the officer corps and ordinary soldiers. In fact, ever since the political situation changed, such funny scenes have often occurred. The scale of the civil war is not large, but it is just a toss-up while the capital has not yet completely settled down.
"The words of Lao Yamamoto, who can only walk now, used to describe the Japanese, are also very appropriate when applied to the Chinese Army. "The higher the education level, the more you can fight in a war."
Compared with the K City garrison, the K City Police Department¡¯s internal affairs force is much inferior. The police are the police, and the well-equipped armed police cannot compete with the military for combat purposes. Even so, the internal affairs troops, which were mainly locals, were much more determined to resist. Their casualties were almost as much as those of the garrison, but their total number was far less than that of the garrison.
Li Zhuang talked with the visitors for half an hour and deduced the general context, and couldn't help but sigh. The Overseas Investigation Bureau's planning plan before coming here was very thorough, but just as the rebels had missed the high-tech weapons here, Li Zhuang did not expect that there would be the ability to mobilize elite field troops. The situation in the capital was more complicated than imagined. . The Chinese Intelligence Department is well-known among its peers, and cannot be compared to the Overseas Investigation Bureau, a company that has only been established for a short time.
K City now has a permanent population of nearly two million, which is considered a big city. The original headquarters of the local garrison was in the subordinate county C, and was later moved to the outskirts of K city. As for the internal affairs force of the police station, it has been strengthened on the basis of the original armed police force. The equipment used is donated by WLMs, but there are still not many heavy weapons and it cannot exceed the management regulations.
The battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no foolproof strategy. It goes without saying that the rebels suffered losses. According to Chinese tradition, the loser generally does not have a good ending. United Technologies Corporation is not yet concerned about the loss of equipment from the garrison and internal affairs forces in City K, but money cannot buy lives. Nearly two thousand people were killed in the accident, causing the city of K to burst into tears. Countless families lost their loved ones.
After seeing off the guests, Li Zhuang slumped on the sofa like a defeated rooster. He is not a politician, nor is he an arrogant psychopath. He cannot calmly face such an accident with so many casualties. He wouldn't care if the enemy died for a million dollars, but so many people in his hometown had accidents due to omissions in the plan, which made him unhappy.
This is a luxurious trip. Wang Mei joked about it before coming, but now it seems that it is just a number after the decimal point. People in K City will not blame Li Zhuang. They cannot know Li Zhuang's plan. Even if they know, they will not blame it on Li Zhuang's enemies. After all, he is a great hero of this city, and the reputation of those people has already been Smelly street.
The only people who benefited from the whole process were the current ruling forces in the capital. Li Zhuang and his old opponents were losers. The politicians' hearts were truly cold.
Jinchangze came in and interrupted Li Zhuang's sentimentality, reported the results of the interrogation to him, and asked him how to deal with this group of people.
"The Institute of Entomology of the Institute of Biotechnology is looking for experimental subjects recently. Send them there," Li Zhuang's voice was very calm, but it made Jinchang shiver.
The results of the treatment this time were not much different from those before. It was still very technical. However, Jin Changze, who had a certain knowledge of the Insect Research Institute, knew what kind of horrific scenes these prisoners would encounter. Li Zhuang's habit has not changed much. He deals with enemies in different levels based on the results.
The members of the rebel headquarters are just executors and pawns. Intelligence analysts from the Overseas Investigation Bureau tracked the rebels' communications and found some of the instigators, both from the capital and Citigroup.
During this week, the provincial capital, the capital and the world were very busy. Lizhuang was very busy, handling the aftermath matters that required his own presence, and receiving high-level officials from the provincial capital.
The atmosphere in K City has been very depressed these days, mainly because of the huge casualties. Cai Cheng, the head of the China Branch of United Technologies' Public Relations Department, has been busy with his assistants, while the headquarters in Beijing has taken over the matter.
With such a big thing happening, it is impossible for the provincial leaders to remain indifferent. Previously, Li Zhuang didn't want to be disturbed, so they just let it go, but now it doesn't matter if both parties don't want to meet.
Li Zhuang did not talk to them about the rebels in detail. Although the Provincial Military Region was embarrassed, he still tactfully expressed his desire to watch the demonstration of the weapon system used this time. The senior officials of Province H turned a blind eye to the legality of United Technologies Corporation's use of powerful weapons in City K. This matter was even more embarrassing to talk about, so I had to pretend that there were no procedural problems.
There is no soldier who doesn¡¯t like advanced weapons, except for those pretentious theorists and puppet soldiers who use their general uniforms as decorations.
Li Zhuang fulfilled their wish and asked Li Zhenqiang to take them to experience it, while he talked to the governor about the current economic situation in the province.
The governor is very talkative, unlike ordinary politicians. Maybe he feels it is not necessary to talk in front of Li Zhuang.He showed his depth and wisdom, and everyone had a great time chatting together.
The high-tech weapons are indeed incredible, and even the commander of the provincial military region couldn¡¯t help but show up personally. China's metal exoskeleton research level is not advanced, and the time when the fully protective type will be officially installed in the army cannot be determined. At least the commander believes that there will be no chance before he retires, and he is not old yet.
"Teacher Li, do you export this kind of equipment?" When Li Zhuang was talking to the governor, the commander came in from outside to talk, not caring about politeness.
Li Zhuang is famous as a teacher because he has taught many outstanding students, so people in China call him "Teacher Li". The more formal honorific title "Mr. Li Zhuang" only appears in official documents. Because it is easily confused with ordinary titles, it is rarely used.
"The Australian military does not have the equipment yet, and it is difficult to export. Your current c4i cannot exert its full functions." Li Zhuang paused and held out three fingers to him. "Each unit costs 300,000 gold coupons. You can¡¯t equip them in bulk.¡±
The officers looked gloomy. Even if Li Zhuang was willing to sell it, with the current military expenditure, such sky-high price equipment is really unaffordable and they can only covet it.
It¡¯s very easy to talk here, but it has long been a mess internationally. The densely populated spy satellites in space captured the entire battle. Because of the battlefield obscuration of the 3e01 electronic warfare armored vehicle, the satellite cannot use detection methods other than optical and cannot see the details of United Technologies' equipment. It was dark and the smoke on the battlefield was heavy, but the intense light of the laser weapon and the trajectory of the electromagnetic gun shells when they flew out of the range of 3e01, as well as the fire ignited by the hit vehicle, were all within the sight of the spy satellite.
This is the first time in human history that epoch-making, fully high-tech weapons have been used in combat. The one-sided situation silenced all those who questioned the role of advanced weapons. The major powers held military meetings one after another, and many generals who were still in bed were woken up by emergency calls. Even the capital was discussing countermeasures.
Nearly all professionals have a feeling that a new era of killing has begun.
Most of the classic science fiction movies have a theoretical basis, and it is only a matter of time before some scenes appear in reality. During the transition period, everyone was very nervous, and few of the military research projects were put into actual combat.
United Technologies has rarely taken the lead in recent years, usually following the footsteps of others. Except for its first mature electric vehicle power combination solution, nothing has exceeded the expectations of other countries.
Li Zhuang didn¡¯t care that much. Even when Canberra saw the online reports and called him and Zhou Qisen, he just said it casually.
The relevant departments of the self-owned company have handled the return trip from Lizhuang, and the restored K City Airport welcomed two special planes and three transport planes from Sunway International Airport during the Lantern Festival.
Li Zhuang bid farewell to the K-city officials and public representatives, and set off back to Australia under the escort of Chinese Air Force fighter planes.
He Shi Shiran left, leaving the top management of Province H and City K staring with big eyes, just because he gave an interview to the media before leaving and talked about the nuclear fusion power plant.
