"Is this a mining area?"
Just one glance made Lu Pingping suspect that he was looking in the wrong place.
It was a fortress-fortress configuration.
A high black wall is laid out in a circle, and the configuration of the towers, barbed wire, and fortress makes people wonder if they are from the wrong era. However, if the machine gun in the fortress is a specialty of this world, its lethality is unquestionable.
But the strange thing is that the guns set up in the fortress are not only open to the outside world... at least three-quarters of the fortress is obviously open to the inside of the mining area.
The barbed wire fences, fortresses, and walls are all set up in this way, with one side facing outward and the other facing inward, and the defenses facing inward are obviously more stringent.
"...How's the situation inside?"
While asking, Lu Ping'an's War Eagle was also harvesting his own intelligence.
After taking a bird's-eye view, Lu Pingping looked happy.
He saw large vehicles, mining pits and excavators that were as tall as a man with just one wheel... In this world, these things are real luxuries.
However, even if War Eagle observed repeatedly, he did not find too many people.
There are people stationed at the defensive position, but their vigilance is obviously not strong, and three or five people gather together to chat and play cards. Most of the attention is also directed to the large mines in the mining area, which makes people doubt whether they are on defense. What......
"Their armed forces were almost completely wiped out when they attacked us. More than an hour ago, two trucks drove away, loaded with what should be the last inventory of this mining area."
This mining area obviously has its own armed forces, but they should be "just enough".
They sensed that their area was under threat, so they naturally acted "according to routine". However, the result this time was completely different from before... Thanks to the explorer mechanism, comparing several years and ten After several years of "Wild Adventurers" and the most conservative combat power assessment mechanism, under the premise of the same size and number of people, the current officially licensed exploration team is at least ten times stronger.
The local snakes were hit head-on before they could recover from their thoughts. Even though they took the initiative in the early stage by virtue of their superiority in raids and weapons, judging from the result, this mining area lost a considerable part of its mobile combat power. Defense capabilities are greatly reduced.
Did the people in the mining area get the message? Even if there is no news feedback, the security team should have guessed something...
"A truck? You didn't stop it?"
This may be the answer. Prioritizing the transfer of finished ore to ensure that the loss is not too great is indeed the most rational decision... But looking at the security guards who are still on duty, they have no vigilance at all. It should be fundamental. Didn't get any news.
"Stopped one."
Wang Xier put down the telescope, and behind her was a busy crowd.
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an was a little surprised.
Being able to stop one shows that the time and combat power can keep up, but being able to stop one car but not two? What kind of popcorn movie is this that doesn’t talk about the road but just enjoys it?
"...There is another car. We have people following it. Let's see where it goes?"
"Then why not just let the two cars go? Isn't this just a warning?"
Hearing this, Wang Xier was silent for a while, and then the topic shifted to the current defensive position.
Does Lu Ping'an really not understand? He was deliberately trying to stab the other party...You either stopped them all, or you let them all go to wait for the big fish. If you take half of them, you are greedy and hesitant, can you really do anything big?
"Initially, I planned to let them all go... If I could let one go, it was my urgent additional order. They placed tracking equipment in the ore. No matter how many times we handle it, we can find them. Production and storage end.”
What Wang Xi'er added may not sound like much at first, but if you think about it carefully, it's quite subtle.
Wang Xier is the leader of the Phosphorus Spreaders in the Four Cities and the deputy director of the ancient city's new development zone. In theory, she is the leader of everyone now... But she is too young and has risen to the top by virtue of her bloodline. Even if she has good abilities, she may not be able to do so. Able to convince the public.
Several fighting groups centered on her will listen to her because she is the employer, but if huge interests are involved, especially rare minerals that are obviously valuable...
Well, as a front-line executor, it is normal for me to accidentally use too much force and break the vehicle.
The car overturned and the ore fell out. It is normal to lose a third or a quarter...what? The ore we carry is picked up on the road. This is really a rich ore area. You can find treasures even if you go to the toilet.
This is not accidental, nor is it an individual's moral decay, but an inevitable outcome under the overall situation.
Another aspect of the explorer's "ticket" mechanism is that the team is destined to have that explorer as the core, and he only needs to be responsible for himself and his team's interests.
Higher levels of unity and command and control? forget it.
Lu Ping'an touched his chin and said nothing more.
He also became more and more aware that the battle between the two sides so far was actually a competition between the old and new eras and two foreign development systems. Both sides had their own advantages and disadvantages. It was difficult to say who was stronger. In the end, it could only be decided by the results.
A corporate system with clear top and bottom lines is a mess to the outside world (the country), but it is more disciplined internally.
Under the requirements of the company's interests, they have stronger initiative, more people, and the courage to invest and harvest... As long as the interests are sufficient, they dare to compete with the gods, let alone challenge the lower limit of morality.
Trampling on the so-called universal human morality in the name of a group or a country is a daily routine for some people, without even the slightest possibility of guilt.
There are obviously fewer people on Lu Ping'an's side, but their average strength is higher. Each one of them can be called an elite soldier, but everyone is planning for themselves, not for their own small team...
"...The people over at the main base may not be reliable."
Looking at Ms. Wang Xi'er who was busy lecturing in front of her, Lu Pingan was thoughtful.
Her situation is special. She has so many direct subordinates. The people below should be exempted or discounted.
As for the phosphorus spreaders in the other three cities, as well as the mercenaries who were paid to do things, they basically could only fight with the wind... When the local garrison in the East Kingdom fought with the Os people, most of the teams were not It has nothing to do with you, just hang it up high?
There is nothing wrong with this in itself. After all, this is the general trend created by the current system, but judging from the results, it is very bad.
"Maybe... some places have become very bad."
The Os people are not good people who are united and friendly, but they are standard social animals who work when they are paid. They will obey the dispatch and orders of a unified superior.
If they take advantage of the intelligence and initiative on the battlefield, mobilize the power of the entire region, and hunt down some idle teams that are divided and only consider their own interests, they may be able to catch them accurately.
"...We must hurry up and build the radio tower as soon as possible. By the way, get on line with the military as soon as possible. They are trustworthy."
Lu Ping'an thought thoughtfully. Perhaps the people above knew the shortcomings of the explorer system from the beginning, which is why most of the "explorer planets" have garrisons.
The garrison provides support in terms of numbers, intelligence, and basic technology. With no worries about logistics, the explorers demonstrate the mobility advantage brought by "greed". Perhaps this is how this system was originally designed.
But now, the military is probably at loggerheads with the Ossians, and they have lost radio support. I'm afraid the situation may not be good either.
Perhaps those Os people spared no expense in attacking the radio tower, and their original target was the frontline troops of the Eastern Kingdom.
And if the local Eastern Kingdom garrison is also defeated...the Os people will use their numerical and mechanical advantages to engage in a modern hunter's hunt for the "herd" and defeat them one by one. .
No matter how strong an individual is and how he can run, can he escape from this area and this planet?
Lu Ping'an realized that perhaps the chess piece (radio tower) in his hand was important enough to affect everyone's life and death.
Lu Ping'an also noticed that even after being repeatedly called upon by Wang Xi'er, the respective adventure groups were still fragmented... Those people were considering their own gains and losses, and considering whether they could attack a fortress position and whether they could directly attack it. shoot.
"The efficiency is a bit low..." Everyone knows that the first charge is the most dangerous, and no one wants to be cannon fodder.
After communicating for a long time, even if Wang Xier came up with the previous employment agreement, she could only let her own direct team act as the vanguard.
"This is much better than expected...at least there is no on-site price increase." Wang Xier recalled with some fatigue.
She is infinitely nostalgic for the past, the good days that she always talked about.
She also made no demands on Lu Pingan, because Lu Pingan was neither her subordinate, nor even her "direct mercenary"... In name, he only accepted the invitation of "paid assistance" on a temporary basis. Came to help.
The scene before him forced Lu Ping'an to prepare for the worst.
In his estimation, Wang Xi'er's side should already be in the best situation. After all, they have a clear leader and core, and a reasonable common interest.
The small episode passed by in a flash, but the next moment Wang Xier gave the order to attack, to everyone's surprise, Lu Ping'an took the lead.
"...Be like a man and beat him back after being beaten. Why are you thinking so much?"
He originally wanted to fish, but he has already figured it out. At this time, maybe helping others is helping himself.
Maybe I need to be a little simpler.
