"Under the Tree" initially felt that this appointment was not risky, and it was not as dangerous as his battle to become famous seemed. After all, the Northeast War Zone is also a mature guerrilla zone, with a good ruling foundation and a ready-made territory. Unlike the battle of [Dasang City], it was completely started from scratch and dug holes under the noses of hostile forces.
But after he took office, after some understanding, he discovered that suddenly being in a high position was not a "benefits" given to him by the wise and powerful God Envoy King. This deputy governor was not easy to be, and the guerrilla zone also looked like one. A half-smooth mess.
It is true that the former commander left him a good foundation for rule. According to the report of his deputy, not counting the nuclear holy land that cannot be governed, the guerrilla zone also has 67 nests and more than 200,000 ant colonies. Such a territory and ant colony have great potential.
However, the economic basis of each nest is uneven. Most of the nests were established by the forces of the old pavement ant empire. They continued the economic system of the old pavement ant empire, which was mainly based on relatively primitive agriculture and animal husbandry, and also relied heavily on collection. Supplement for hunting. It’s not that the Ant Alliance has not thought about promoting efficient agricultural models here, but grain cultivation and wild grazing require a relatively stable environment. Destroyers are rampant in the guerrilla zone, and troops are frequently deployed in various places, so it is difficult for surface agriculture and animal husbandry to develop. That is to say, the viable cultivation of fluorescent bacteria, mealworm and fly maggot farming in the nests have been promoted.
The development of agriculture and animal husbandry was hindered, and the consequence was insufficient food output. During his predecessor's time, he could still rely on local air supplies, which supported a population and army that exceeded the local capacity. However, as the northern front is tightened, the air transport capacity that can be allocated to this theater has been greatly reduced, and external food supplements are currently better than nothing. Even the large-scale proactive attack launched by the guerrillas against the Destroyers, which resulted in the accidental death of their predecessor, had no intention of actively reducing the ant colony.
In addition, the industrial and mining industry in this area is basically zero. There are only a few remote nests established by big-headed ant immigrants. There are small-scale workshops that can undertake the maintenance and simple assembly tasks of some metal weapons and equipment. There are no iron ore or copper mines in this area. , there is no metal processing industry, the small amount of iron and copper needed is replenished by flight transportation, and weapons and equipment are completely dependent on local replenishment.
Without sufficient food, self-sufficiency in metal weapons and artillery, "Shuxia" would not be able to expand its army and support its people. He inspected the existing troops. Except for an elite regiment under his direct command as deputy governor, which had sufficient firearms and metal armor, the other guerrilla groups only received very few weapons supplements, and the overall equipment level was not up to par. The average level during the old Pavement Ant Empire period was not even much better than some indigenous tribes.
The external situation facing "Under the Tree" today is very bad. Due to the intensification of the war in the northern battlefield, a large number of Destroyers have poured into the area, trying to consolidate the rear and thereby reinforce the main northern battlefield. Even though the group of Destroyers who were initially alarmed and surrounded the Nuclear Holy Land have withdrawn their troops and returned, there are still as many as 50,000 Destroyers in the guerrilla zone, sweeping away the lairs, soldiers and civilians in the guerrilla zone.
Although according to Zhu Jue's guiding ideology, most of the nests in the guerrilla zones were built in very remote and hidden places, those obvious nests no longer exist. The ants are also accustomed to being careful not to gather in large groups to attract the prying eyes of radar destroyers, and in their daily lives They carefully erased the traces of pheromones, but news of nests being discovered and destroyed still came from time to time. The increasingly frequent raids have also greatly affected gathering and hunting in guerrilla zones, making the already weak economic foundation even worse.
In addition to the Destroyers, the forces of the old pavement ant empire that refuse to surrender are also dangerous. Whether these old forces have only one nest, or they have formed a grand duchy with dozens of nests and a population of 100,000 ants. Whether it is a dictatorship with real power or a council of elders to implement "democracy", they both refuse to recognize the legitimacy and representativeness of the nobles who surrendered to the Ant Alliance, insisting that they are the legitimate successors of the old Ant Empire. By. Because of their inheritance rights, these old forces regard the Ant Alliance and the God Envoy King's Army as their number one enemy ants, and they frequently attack and provoke them, but they hide and hide from the Destroyer whenever they can.
Therefore, the Northeast Theater had to deal with the destroyers as well as the challenges of the old forces. The former deputy governor once mobilized heavy troops to defeat some of the most unruly old forces, greatly expanded his territory and ant colony, and suppressed the opponent's arrogance. He even reached a consensus with several old forces to jointly deal with the Destroyer.
But now the former deputy governor
After the death of the ant government, those old forces made a comeback, no longer abided by the consensus, and regarded the shrinking guerrilla zone as prey that could be bitten. Nowadays, because the Destroyer has greatly blocked traffic, many guerrilla zone nests have been isolated, and it is difficult to mobilize support between each other. Therefore, on many fronts, the guerrillas can only be on the defensive against the old forces, and the situation is gradually deteriorating.
"Under the tree" took stock of the difficulties and challenges in front of him. Unknowingly, six limbs were not enough to count. It turned out that he liked to shake one limb every time he calculated something to strengthen his memory. In the past, when his status was low and there were few things to do, he was really good at it. It is less likely that the limbs cannot be remembered.
At this time, his deputy, the demigod male ant "Chaihuo" with the title of Third Governor, interrupted his thoughts. "Chaihuo" told him through his tentacles that something happened just now. It was not urgent, and he had already taken care of " "Under the tree" gave the order and left without waiting for a reply.
"Under the Tree" was a little angry. He knew that the Third Governor in front of him and the power he represented were also a constraint for him. It was also the internal problem that needed to be united and dealt with most at the moment.
"Chai Huo" was parachuted to the local area following the previous deputy governor. The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly and carefully, relying only on a small number of direct forces, with local support, and in the name of righteousness, they established and strengthened the guerrilla zone. They can be said to be veteran heroes. .
After the previous commander of the God Ant passed away unfortunately, "Chai Huo" thought he could take over and acted in the name of deputy governor during his acting period. But in the end, Zhu Jue considered that he had just appointed the demigod ant governor of the southern territory and wanted to balance the feelings of the demigod ants, so he did not continue to appoint demigod ants as regional officials. Instead, he promoted the young and strong demigod ant "under the tree". " came to take over, and gave "Chaihuo" the title of third governor out of compensation.
In this way, "Chai Huo" must have some opinions. Although he strictly obeys his superiors in accordance with the ant's habit on major matters, he doesn't have much respect and approval for "Tree Under the Tree" in other matters. And ants don't know how to hide their emotions, so "under the tree" is well aware of "firewood"'s emotions.
