Time goes back to the end of May.
After the Divine Envoy King's legion returned to [Hive City], the protagonist flew back to [Xin Yang City] first, leaving Spade Elephant and the large army stationed there.
In the following period, Spade Elephant and other commanders divided their forces to attack the land of the red fire ant country, and finally occupied about two-fifths of the old territory of the red fire ant country.
For many days after the protagonist returned to [Xinyang City], he still felt a little incredible - the powerful red fire ant country was about to perish like this.
Perhaps the leaders of the leaf-cutter ant nation were also surprised. The red fire ant nation had been enemies with them for hundreds of years. Once it was destroyed, the leaf-cutter ant nation felt even more deeply.
After careful analysis, the protagonist comes to the conclusion that the ruling system of the red fire ant country is the fundamental reason for its rapid prosperity and sudden demise.
The ruling group of the red imported fire ant country is the red fire ant itself. Their ant population is small and they only account for a small part compared to the many slave ants that are ruled.
The raised fire ant warriors train and fight every day. They don't have to worry about production. They even have slaves to eat and defecate. They are naturally very powerful in combat and have the basis for establishing a military dictatorship.
However, such a ruling system severely separates the rulers from the ruled. In order to maintain their brutal rule, the red fire ant clan can only concentrate its elite forces on the main nest and several important sub-nests in various places, leaving most of the rest There are only dozens or hundreds of fire ants in the secondary nest.
This concentration of troops allows the red fire ant nation to quickly deploy its troops to respond whether it faces an invasion by a foreign enemy or an occasional slave ant rebellion.
But the disadvantage is that once a major military defeat occurs, it will be difficult to recover in a short period of time, and most of the secondary nests are almost undefended.
Recently, the Angel King's army has been attacking cities and plundering territory. Basically, they only need to eliminate a few old, weak, sick and disabled fire ants in the secondary nest, and the rest of the slave ants will surrender.
The elite fire ants in these sub-nests have been deployed to fight and will never come back. The slave ants felt that they had just changed their masters and had no desire to resist.
Only a few leaders of the slave ants, who were vigorously won over by the fire ants, made several futile attempts to resist.
It can be seen that the ruling system of the red fire ant country is based on the strong military strength of the tribe, and the control over the vast majority of sub-nests and slave ants is very weak. Once the military power of the red fire ant country declines, its destruction is a matter of course.
The protagonist then reflected on the ruling system of the Divine Envoy King Legion.
After capturing [Hive City], carving up the territory of the Red Fire Ant Nation, and even subduing several vassals of the Red Fire Ant Nation, there are now eight ant tribes within the Divine Envoy King's legion:
Big-headed ants (Broad-knotted big-headed ants), pavement ants (lawn pavement ants), hunter ants, leaf-cutting ants (Bassian leaf-cutter ants), bell ants, red forest ants, Japanese black ants, burrowing ants .
Similar to the red fire ant country, the Angel King Legion also has big-headed ants as the ruling class, and other ant tribes are in a ruled position.
The ruling system of the God Envoy King Legion is more stable and efficient in comparison. The ruled ants are not exploited very much, and their supreme rulers are also vigorously won over, and they directly obey the orders of the God Envoy King.
In the ant tribe except the big-headed ants, most ordinary male and female ants do not feel that they are slaves, but feel that they are in a unified empire.
Although the core ruling class of each ant clan all live in [Hive City], and live together in most sub-nests, they have relatively independent living areas with each other, and avoid the conflict of being completely mixed together.
However, beneath the surface harmony, one thing that is similar to the Red Fire Ant Nation is that the rule of the God Envoy King Legion is also based on the military superiority of the Big-headed Ant Clan.
Once the big-headed ants lose power, the protagonist himself doesn't even think that he can make other ants obey just by relying on his prestige!
Those who are not of my race must have different minds. This is especially true for the ant race.
The multi-ant national system created by the protagonist has never been seen in this ant world. It is also completely different from the slavery system of the red fire ant country. He has no experience to draw from and can only walk on a single-plank bridge. The same, while groping and moving forward, I am afraid of falling into the abyss at any time...
The protagonist is also determined to continue to carry out reforms within the Divine Envoy King to ensure the strength and stability of the regime. While making full use of the expertise of each ant clan to prosper the economy, measures must also be taken to continue to improve the current governance system.
Militarily, the protagonist decides to continue to adhere to the national policy of focusing on big-headed ants, and must ensure the absolute dominance of the main ant tribe in terms of military strength.
It turns out that the protagonist also brought back a batch of red fire ant eggs, hoping to conquer this ant clan and use its powerful ant warriors to supplement military power. However, a small number of red fire ant workers hatched experimentally are lazy and unruly on weekdays and need the service of other ants.
Now the protagonist is worried that they will shake the military superiority of the big-headed ants, so he simply endures the pain and eliminates all these fire ants and ant eggs.
In order to limit the military strength of other ant tribes, the protagonist also decided to disband the 101st Legion, which was composed of non-big-headed ant warriors. Except for the big-headed ants, the other ant tribes were not allowed to establish legion-level troops. They could only be organized into squads or brigades, depending on the war. You need to join the Big-headed Ant's legion as support at any time and accept the Big-headed Ant's command.
This approach is similar to how each legion previously organized two ant-hunting reconnaissance teams, but it is no longer a fixed organization.
Based on the characteristics, number of ant colonies, and combat effectiveness of each ant clan, as well as the current economic strength, the protagonist decided to expand and adapt the military power of the Angel King Legion to the following extent this year:
30 big-headed ant corps (with 60 scythe-hunting ant squads under its jurisdiction), 1 tank corps (with 3 tank assault brigades and 2 fire support brigades), 1 flying knight brigade (with 10 fly flying knights under its jurisdiction) squad), 15 pavement ant brigades, 2 leaf-cutter ant brigades, 2 abdominal ant brigades, 5 red forest ant brigades, 2 burrowing ant brigades, and 1 Japanese black brown ant brigades.
Among them, the tank corps is divided into tank assault brigade and fire support brigade according to different fighting methods.
The mounts of the tank assault brigade are large stag beetles, bifurcated rhinoceros beetles, etc. They are fully armored and have small-caliber artillery on the back platform. They can attack and fire at the same time, similar to tanks.
The fire support brigade is mainly medium-sized beetles. They march with medium-caliber mung bean cannons on their backs. During battle, they remove the cannons to build fire support positions. They do not participate in assaults themselves, similar to towed artillery.
