To put it cruelly, the demographic structure of the refugees has been optimized on its own, and coupled with the gratitude that most of them have towards the rescuers, they will become a very good labor force after becoming literate.
To be honest, the Phoenix Kingdom's army still cannot bear too much loss, and the risk of going deep into enemy-controlled areas to rob people is too high.
At the rate of reducing the number of 27 elites a month, continuing to search for people's gathering points for rescue in other sections will incur greater losses. Wang Qi doesn't have to do anything else. He just stares at the new people who join the first battalion every day to "recharge their batteries". "It's not enough to waste.
Parachute rescue work cannot be replaced by ordinary troops in a short period of time. Because parachutes are not safe enough, personnel often have to face landings at a speed of more than ten meters per second, and rescue targets are often located in rugged and rocky places close to mountains. When building a camp, the average soldier will be absolutely disabled if he falls.
Generals William and Xiao Lei also understood that the preferential treatment His Majesty gave to the 1st Battalion and the 2nd Regiment and the 1st Company totaled more than 100 places a year, including those who were disabled and retired.
The sum of these points determines that the previous rescue model cannot be maintained, and more appropriate methods must be used to reduce our own losses. Of course, we will also give up the possibility of more people from other places joining in.
The specific method is to establish sentinel points on the edge of several floating islands that are seriously affected by the demon disaster. No matter what methods the local people use, as long as they can get to the sentinel point, they will save their lives.
When Wang Qi and the two generals held a military meeting, they looked at the plan and felt bad.
"How do you let people know you're coming here?"
General William looked at His Majesty's expression and said nothing. General Xiaolei's ability to recognize human expressions was not that strong, so he directly said: "Send a plane to drop leaflets."
Wang Qi nodded and asked: "For the people who received the leaflets and went to the rescue point, who will be responsible for those who died on the road?"
General Xiao Lei opened his mouth and fell silent.
He also realized that this plan had big problems.
It’s easy to go wrong when customizing a plan using the “I think” approach, and what you see in front of you is the typical one.
Thinking from the perspective of the victims, apart from the lucky stars who were able to climb to the rescue point without any relatives, as long as other people's relatives and friends died on the road, and the incentive for the action was airdropping leaflets, then the blame will definitely be placed on the Kingdom. , if there are too many people in this situation, something bad will happen sooner or later.
William spoke up about the difficulty: "The staff department has provided several plans, and this is the most controllable loss."
"I know." Wang Qi was also helpless, wondering why it was so difficult to get a few people.
As the weapons and equipment system of the troops gradually becomes more complicated, it is no longer just a matter of pulling the trigger. The newly formed 24th Regiment follows closely the 22nd Regiment during operations, and it still needs training before it can perform the mission alone.
The plan given by the staff department is not good. Even if we go back and let them think about it again, it will not solve the contradiction between the rescue losses and the people's mentality.
Wang Qi must make decisions on the spot.
He pointed his finger at the table and thought about it. After a long time, he decided: "It's better to build the sentry point and find a higher place so that people farther away can see the sentry tree."
In this way, there is no process of handing out leaflets, and the rest is left to the victims to make their own choices.
Although it is unavoidable that a very small number of people still want to blame others, but without the factual basis of the leaflet link, there will be no fanning effect, and the situation will not get out of control when the time comes to treat it as a crime of rumour.
Of course, the range of influence has also become very small. Even if the visibility has improved a lot after flying, the radius of the sighting outpost tree is no more than twenty kilometers.
The rescue method has been changed and the scale of the operation has been much smaller.
The 22nd and 24th regiments returned home and took over the work of the 21st regiment, which was responsible for the west and south of the Fenggu plate. The 21st regiment was composed of five battalions. Three battalions were sent with the assistance of the air power of the 12th regiment. Three battalions were seriously injured. Find a suitable place to station on the floating island, and the remaining two battalions will be renovated first and then rotated.
Unfortunately, the slime mold people's physical lifespan is limited. This battalion-level cross-sector stationing method that relies on air transportation is too easy to cause the slime mold people to miss time. Otherwise, it would be better to leave the task to the 41st and 42nd regiments.
The height of a standard outpost tree is between 40 and 50 meters depending on the size of the garrison. The outpost was modified for the rescue operation, making it grow thinner and taller, and then a circle of towers grew at the base to provide ammunition storage and Treatment and housing, small portions of sugar water supply.
Wang Qi did not make these outposts too exaggerated, and in the end the tree height was less than 70 meters.
He has a certain understanding of the artifact tree. Without any structural strengthening, with its basic strength, about 2.2 to 2.5 meters thick, it can support a tree crown with a diameter of 30 meters at a height of about 100 meters. Even if wind and earthquake resistance requirements are included, it does not need to be three meters.
Calculation shows that excluding the tower-style camp area, the total weight is about 450 tons, and it consumes about 1,500 tons of humus (fertility).
It's not that high. It's not because of insufficient technology and composting capabilities. It's because the outpost trees can only grow when the seeds are on them. After the floating island, a lot of trees need to be managed and adjusted. Akeem carries a seed everywhere every day. After all, they can't stay in the palace for two months a year, so these rescue trees can't extend the growth cycle too long.
At the same time, the camp was selected on the top of the mountain. There is no lack of sunshine here and the soil layer is thinner than in the valley. Ordinary trees do not have enough needs and conditions to grow too high. The outpost tree does not need to be so prominent to be very conspicuous. It can be kept shorter if it is shorter. The proportions of the standing tree make it easy for businessmen or relatives who have been to the Phoenix Kingdom to recognize it among the disaster victims.
After the 21st Regiment was entrenched, the next step was the task of the 12th Regiment.
They deployed a total of one company of flying troops and ground support personnel at three outposts. Their main task was to provide guidance to the victims within 20 kilometers of the outposts. However, at first they could only watch from the sky, and the headquarters still needed to study how to make people move. People who see an airplane for the first time can understand airplane signals.
Light signals are impossible to read for the untrained eye, and taillights are difficult to see from the ground, especially during the day, so use movement to convey the message.
But general military actions can easily lead to misunderstandings.
For example, if you use the method of dropping bombs to indicate that there is "danger" in a certain direction, it may be understood as "the enemy has been eliminated."
In order to express the message clearly, the 12th Regiment found a group of people in Elte who were not yet blind, let them watch the air show, and then recorded the information they received through a question and answer format, inviting different people each time.
...In the beginning, it could only be regarded as an air show, and some people who were not very busy at home even went to watch the show ten kilometers away from the city every day.
After several rounds of question and answer collection, the regiment staff gradually realized that it was impossible for people with zero basic knowledge to understand any aerial movements.
Of course, there must be people with high understanding who can fool them, but I personally understand that it is difficult to form a decisive opinion in the escape team, unless the personal strength also happens to be the highest.
Then it was decided to change it to a multi-aircraft formation with smoke generators to convey the message.
The smoke generator is not a new thing, and it is not even produced in a factory. It was first made by the soldiers themselves when the 12th Regiment was still using the Tornado II.
The principle is also ridiculously simple. Put grass with a certain humidity in a bucket, add some cinder powder and fuming powder, ignite it, close the front and rear lids to make them smolder, and use a pull cord to pull the lid open to produce smoke. ...will also throw away the ashes.
Soldiers made this kind of thing to assist in bombing training, to indicate bombing targets, and to compare bombing trajectories.
Later, I purchased the smoking device from the confidential workshop affiliated to Caihong Chemical, which makes mercury fulminates and detonators. Although the nature of the product is not very close, it is easier to prepare raw materials in chemical companies, and the total purchase quantity of the items themselves is also small. It's not worth setting up another small factory involving chemical properties.
This decision can be said to be a mistake. There are many types of chemical preparations in chemical plants that will emit smoke, and the process does not require ignition and is safer. In addition, the working mode of the aircraft determines that the smoke will not be inhaled by the pilot, so it can be used. Do it with a slightly dangerous substance.
Another feature of chemical fuming is that it can be mixed with dyes, so in addition to white, red, green, blue and yellow smoke colors soon became available.
In the past, the chimney was thrown on the ground. If not thrown away, can it be used to draw pictures in the air?
