After arranging manpower to capture alien organisms that had never appeared in the country on the European battlefield, Chen Xin calmed down and thought about how to strengthen the combat capabilities of the frontline troops.

Although the result of this inspection is that the frontline troops have been able to resist the attack of alien creatures and have shown a certain degree of calmness, this does not mean that they do not need to enhance their combat capabilities.

After staying in Europe for the past few months, although Chen Xin was not very able to obtain domestic information, domestic briefings were still sent every week, and instant messaging was still smooth, and he knew all the information he needed to know.

The Dongting Lake War Zone has now switched from defense to offense. Although the offensive is not strong, and several attacks have not achieved the effect and were repelled by alien creatures, it is obvious that the offense and defense have changed.

Relying on landing ships and mobile bases as strategic support, with Titans and powered armor units as the offensive force, even ordinary soldiers have exoskeletons equipped with heavy machine guns and jet packs to ensure firepower and mobility. The combat capabilities of the Yan Kingdom army have become as strong as those in Europe. There are quite obvious generational differences between countries.

Although Europe has also begun to equip power armor and exoskeletons, there is a big gap between Europe and Yan Guo in terms of the quantity of equipment and the application ideas of the equipment.

Although Europe, relying on the support of the Yan Kingdom, has gradually changed from being shaky before to being able to support and resist the attack of alien creatures, it is obvious that it is not enough to just resist the attack of alien creatures.

Humanity will inevitably fight back, and must fight back, because this is humankind's homeland and cannot be allowed to be invaded by alien creatures.

If we just isolate disasters, then Yanguo and other European countries have actually already done that.

Relying on their strong defense lines and the hard work of the army, they have blocked the disaster of alien invasion from outside the defense line.

Although this will bring huge military expenditures, and humans will have to expend a lot of vitality on resisting the attack of alien creatures, blocking it is blocking it after all.

For some people who are not so enterprising and responsible and just want to maintain the status quo, this is enough.

After all, they don't have so many ideas. They can just maintain their current life without being affected. As for how human beings and the lives of civilians are, they have never been within the scope of concern of those big shots.

Some people may be thinking of turning this war into a so-called permanent war so as to obtain endless benefits and benefits from it, but this is harmful to mankind and has no benefit at all.

In the eyes of a truly knowledgeable person, this is absolutely not allowed.

Chen Xin didn't have such an idea, and neither did Yan Guo's senior officials.

In their eyes, construction and development are what they need. Relying on continuous war to obtain personal gains and harm the interests of the country and even all mankind is something they will not consider or choose anyway.

This is why the Yan Kingdom's army launched a counterattack with an almost impatient attitude as soon as they had the ability to counterattack.

Because from the perspective of high-level officials, the war with alien creatures has seriously slowed down the construction and development of the Yan Kingdom, and has even more seriously affected the production and life of the people. The sooner these alien creatures are dealt with, the country will be able to do so sooner. Direct energy and resources back to construction and development.

Even though such a hasty attack may cause some unnecessary losses, compared with the consumption caused by the country's current state of war, these losses are within a tolerable range.

However, when Yan Guo was able to counterattack, the European side had just gotten rid of the situation of being passively beaten. It had taken a breath of relief and was able to deal with the attack of alien creatures.

Although there is Chen Xin, a person who helps Yan Guo cheat, it has to be said that the situation in Europe is really a mess.

If it weren't for the hard work of Chen Xin and the European aid fleet during this period, coupled with Yan Guo's strong assistance, it would have been impossible for Europe to recover in such a short period of time.

Therefore, it is unrealistic to expect Europe to have the ability to counterattack in the short term.

If we take the three stages divided by the founder of the Yan Kingdom in "On Protracted War", the Yan Kingdom has now entered the strategic counter-offensive stage, but the European side has just shifted from strategic defense to strategic stalemate.

During this period, Europe should accumulate as much strength as possible in preparation for a counterattack.

It is for this reason that Chen Xin worked hard to rectify the chaotic order in Europe and established an effective public security system, as well as organizations such as militia and knights that can be regarded as reserve forces to cultivate European troops. Sufficient reserve forces.

In this way, when Europe shifts to the strategic counter-offensive stage, it can quickly arm enough troops to invest in the counter-offensive.

But if you want to counterattack, reserve troops alone are not enough.

Although Europe's resource output has now recovered a lot, coupled with the efforts of the European aid fleet, it is only half-hearted to ensure the consumption of the front line and the living needs of the people, but it is obvious that this cannot save resources for the counterattack.

In order for Europe to accumulate strength for strategic counterattacks, in addition to increasing existing resource output as much as possible so that output exceeds consumption, it also needs to reduce existing consumption as much as possible.

Although it is tempting to say that the consumption of people's daily necessities cannot be reduced, in fact during war times this part is often the first to be squeezed to the limit.

Although Chen Xin was very reluctant, he had to admit that even if the situation of material production improved, the living conditions of people in Europe would not improve in a short time.

Although countries have limited control over their own countries, and autonomous cities can be said to be completely out of their control, they can still squeeze the people at the bottom as much as possible and obtain more resources.

This is the same even for autonomous cities. After all, the key to not being regarded as a hostile force by the military of various countries is that they are still paying taxes to the officials of various countries.

As long as the taxes are increased little by little within the tolerance of the autonomous cities, they can continue to be squeezed. As long as they are controlled to a level that will not cause a backlash from the autonomous cities, there will be no problem.

Therefore, if Chen Xin wants to reduce the current consumption, he can only find a way from the front line.

How to reduce consumption as much as possible without weakening or even improving frontline combat effectiveness is what Chen Xin needs to consider.
