[Progress of the "War in Paradise" front: Important checkpoints on the northern front have been breached one after another, Shifeng Mountain is under the control of the coalition forces, and the door to Haiya Province has been opened!
The southern front battlefield is still in the southern sea area. Players in this area are requested to keep up their efforts. The final reward settlement will be related to the progress of the front!
】
Shortly after the announcement on the official website forum was issued, the forum suddenly became lively.
Yin Leina: "Good guy, it's okay for the dog to plan the update. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "Other games reduce the strength of equipment to suppress the player's progress. I am afraid that the player will clear the level too quickly and dislike the player's strategy speed. This game is unique. (Funny)"
Mole on the run in the canyon: "Fang Chang, can you do it? (Funny)"
Tails: "Dolly: Fang Chang, can you do it! (Shy)"
Sisi: "Awei, calm down, you are also on the southern line."
Tails: "Yea! I forgot!°口°)!"
Makabazi: "Too bad! (Funny)"
Feng Qing: "There is no way, the speed of the W-2 is too low, and it cannot break through the close fire network of the federal destroyer. The limits of the old propeller aircraft are too obvious."
Guigui: "+10086, the southern front is in urgent need of supersonic fighters!"
There are really a lot of mosquitoes in WC: "Well, that kamikaze thing is too expensive. You'd better make do with the propeller first, or I can get you one without landing gear."
Feng Qing: "!!!"
Guigui: "Gan! Leader, are you still a human being?"
Yin Leina: ".(funny)"
…
Looking at the complaints in the comment section of the official website announcement, Fang Chang couldn't help but twitch his brows, but finally restrained himself from bubbling up.
This Ah Guang is really a bit unkind.
Could the slow progress on the southern front be the player's problem?
As for the destroyers in the Northern Commonwealth and the Southern Sea Islands, any one of them can defeat a group of "concept ships" in reality.
On the other hand, Baiyue Company only has a bunch of propeller aircraft that have been modified over and over again.
One thing to say, this thing is really good at attacking the ground. It has the advantages of long stay in the air, low cost, and large quantity.
However, it seems to be somewhat stretched when faced with a point defense system with abundant firepower and high-precision guided weapons.
Especially in naval battles that focus on beyond-visual-range combat, the opponent is often already targeting them not long after they take off from the airport.
Of course, the Alliance also has its own advantages. For example, the army's combat effectiveness and individual equipment are far ahead of the Northern Federation.
If we could pass through the maritime warning zone of the federal fleet and land directly on the federal island, the battle would definitely be much smoother than it is now.
However, the crux of the problem is that the other party obviously knows this, so the warning sonar and radar are all on standby 24 hours a day, and the patrol boats carrying depth charges are constantly cruising in the uninhabited sea.
Let alone landing, once you get within 100 kilometers, you may encounter a beyond-visual-range attack.
Of course, this is true for both parties.
The Northern Federation is alert to the alliance's aircraft and airborne troops, and the Southern Islands Alliance is also alert to the "frogman" troops of the Torch Church. Various early warning and over-the-horizon strike methods are on standby 24 hours a day.
Previously, several waves of mutants carrying professional underwater combat equipment tried to swim to Anle Island to launch a raid. However, they did not even reach Coral City, and most of them were killed by several depth bombs, leaving only mutants who fled in all directions.
Then they were buried in the belly of the fish one after another.
The alien species wandering in the ocean are far more terrifying than the alien species on land, and the types are also more abundant.
Without the cover of "Barcarolle", it would be impossible for a lone mutant to survive in the deep water for more than an hour.
Being wary of the submarines on Anle Island, the Federation fleet did not dare to cross the warning area and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Southern Islands Alliance.
It is precisely because of this that the two sides fell into a strange state of war.
It's like two strong men holding guns, each leaning against a bunker with a distance of 50 meters in between. Occasionally they fire one or two shots at the opposite side, and then immediately retreat behind the bunker.
No one can afford a mistake, so no one dares to step out of the bunker to attack.
but--
This does not mean that both parties will persist in this way forever.
The Southern Islands Alliance is developing an "underwater dive mother" with the support of the alliance in preparation for landing on the North Island.
The Northern Federation is obviously also preparing its own trump card with the support of the Torch Church.
Both sides know very well that this war will not last long. Especially with the recent intensification of the coalition forces in the north, it is urgent for the Torch Church to open up strategic space to the south.
Everyone is preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.
In this context, the player's operating space is actually very small.
Including Fang Chang himself, there seems to be nothing left to do except to put more effort into infrastructure projects in the southern seas and the Baiyue Strait, and to use economic and trade means to win over the islands on the alliance's side.
After a brief dinner, Fang Chang went for a late run downstairs, then put on his helmet and returned to the line.
A regular meeting will be held at 10am during game time in the Governor's Office at Port Fries Town Hall.
As the CEO and chairman of Baiyue Company, the governor from Shuguang City will exchange opinions with him on regional affairs and the next stage of development work, and convey the manager's intentions by the way.
In fact, it is said that he is a governor, but this governor is fundamentally different from the governor of the empire.
The latter represents the emperor's interests and authority, equivalent to the emperor's local incarnation, while the former represents the alliance and its constitution.
From the perspective of rights and obligations, this position is more similar to the role of "city lord" in the alliance.
That is, it exercises the power of supervision over local affairs on behalf of the Alliance Central Committee, is responsible for daily local defense work, and makes rulings on matters related to the overall interests of the Alliance from the standpoint of the Alliance.
As for specific local affairs and the execution of public powers, the city hall or more specific affairs agencies are responsible.
Only in very special circumstances, such as when the locals do not have any sense of self-management or the foundation for this, or the alliance needs a place to accommodate such survivors, will the city lord or governor take charge of specific local affairs.
For example, Singularity City.
If the Alliance doesn't send someone to take care of it, the local survivors can use the Alliance's constitution as toilet paper in a matter of minutes, and then set up a local "Red River Alliance" to sell sheep over dogs.
As for places like French Fries Port, the players can develop very well themselves, and the managers are happy to let the players and locals manage it themselves, so they just set up a governor's office in the city hall.
When he was not working, the governor usually just drank tea and read the newspaper, and then summarized the local situation and sent a telegram report to the administrator. At the same time, he gave some instructions to the local institutions based on the administrator's feedback...
If Mr. Manager has any comments.
At least for the past few months, managers' responses have been "read."
Obviously, even the meticulous manager is impeccable in the results of their work.
But this time it's different.
Hearing that the manager had given a rare clear instruction this time, Fang Chang couldn't help but feel a little curious about the meeting.
There was still some time before the meeting, so he did not rush to the city hall to report. Instead, he took a leisurely walk in the settlement they had built with their own hands.
Perhaps when he reached the city hall, he could guess what the manager's instructions were without waiting for the governor from Dawn City to speak.
Now the time in the game has reached the beginning of August, which is the rainy season in the Baiyue Strait.
Often the sun is shining brightly one second, and then it's pouring rain from the sky the next.
However, the rain is not annoying. After the rain, the French fries harbor is like polished glass, with a refreshing freshness inside and out.
After several months of development, today’s French Fries Port has begun to take shape.
With the completion of the port, a large amount of cement, steel, bricks and other building materials and construction equipment were left. The port city hall simply signed a document to improve residents' housing, and encouraged local residents to use hand-built subsidies through active subsidies.
The single-family cabin was converted into a three-story bungalow with a mainly concrete structure.
On the one hand, this is naturally for the city appearance of Potato Chips Port, and on the other hand, it is to prevent tsunamis and earthquakes. After all, the original wooden house can only be used as a makeshift, but more importantly, it is to boost the local economy and fish for big fish in the long run.
.
After all, only when those survivors have their own houses can they rent out the unused floors, or use the first floor along the street to do small business or something.
For the vast and sparsely populated Friesport, land can be said to be the least valuable thing.
It is not only the homes of local survivors that have changed, but also the roads in front of their homes have also changed dramatically.
The mud roads that used to get muddy when it rains have now been replaced with clean and tidy cement roads.
Speaking of this cement road, it is also quite particular.
Due to well-known reasons, the cost of road maintenance in the Baiyue Strait is quite high. Strictly speaking, it is not suitable to apply the Dawn City method to build settlements.
But not long ago, the research team of the Alliance Biological Research Institute developed a biomass material called "active cement" based on research on biological samples collected locally and the mother nest in Qingquan City.
This material has unique self-healing properties, able to absorb energy and nutrients from the biomass on the surface, and maintain the original shape of the "structural material" as the base in a physical sense.
A vivid but inappropriate metaphor is that the microorganisms attached to the material are like miniature hermit crabs, and the pores of activated cement are the "shells" they rely on to survive.
In order to protect their shells, they will actively fight against biological factors that try to destabilize the concrete structure, and use themselves as adhesives to maintain the stability of the concrete structure.
The initiator of this project is Chen Yutong, the head of the Friesport Branch of the Alliance Institute of Biology.
It is no exaggeration to say that this amazing technology is equivalent to directly removing the "industrial and infrastructure cost +900%" debuff of French Fries Port.
This kind of "active cement" with self-repairing properties itself belongs to the category of living creatures. Not only will it not be eroded by local flourishing species, it can even enjoy the bonus of the "luxuriant foliage" buff, thereby reducing the road traffic.
maintenance costs.
The only drawback is that this active material requires one more process than traditional cement, both in production and use.
However, compared with the positive impact brought by this material, the increased cost is completely negligible.
Facts have proven that there are always more solutions than difficulties.
With the advancement of technology, things that were originally considered impossible have gradually become possible.
However, even if the debuff restricting industry is removed, Fang Chang has no plans to change the local development strategy of "primary industry as the mainstay, tertiary industry as the supplement" for the time being, with the secondary industry being placed last.
After all, the growth-accelerating buff is simply too delicious for crops!
The same crop can only be produced for one season in Shuguang City, but it can be produced for three seasons here without worrying about fertility loss. The production efficiency is even higher than that of Luoxia Province.
The scale and transportation capacity cannot be increased now. When the fries port develops in the future, it may become a bigger granary than Luoxia Province!
As for the secondary industry, just leave it to Golden Gallen Port to handle.
Recently, a large number of immigrants have poured into the suburbs of Kingallen Port along the Yongliu River, and the huge young and middle-aged labor force has almost exceeded the capacity of the local infrastructure.
There is no place more suitable for the development of secondary industry than there.
Finally, he walked slowly to the door of the city hall. Fang Chang squinted his eyes and looked at this brick and stone landmark building. He suddenly stopped the NPC who was coming out of the building and asked with a smile.
"Friend, where do you come from?"
The man was probably a recent immigrant, and he didn't recognize his face. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this inexplicable question, and then he spoke.
"Silver Moon Bay...what happened?"
Fang Chang continued to ask with a smile.
"What do you think of life in Chip Port? Are you satisfied here?"
After hearing these words, an expression of emotion immediately appeared on the man's face, and he praised sincerely.
"It's a good place. I don't know how to evaluate it other than that...but I am certain that if heaven exists, it must be like this."
There is no king, no nobles, and no priests to support. As long as you work hard, you can get rich. This is the most satisfying place for him.
Of course, what made him linger the most was the bar on the coastal street.
At least one-third of the money he earned last month was spent there.
Listening to the bragging of those sailors and mercenaries is much more interesting than praying to the statues of gods!
Looking at this guy who had completely forgotten about the Spirit of the Sand Sea and the Goddess of Silver Moon, Fang Chang laughed loudly and said.
"I also think this place is simply paradise... Just like it, it means that our trip is not in vain."
After saying that, he walked towards the door of the city hall under the confused gaze of the man.
…
When Mr. Fang arrived at the conference room, the governor arrived just in time and politely asked his secretary to make him a cup of tea.
Not much pleasantries were exchanged.
The governor from Dawn City quickly got to the point and spoke in a sincere tone.
"...The Chip Port has been developing very fast recently, and there are huge job gaps in all walks of life. The city hall has made a request to us, hoping to absorb more immigrants from outside the alliance, but we don't want to
Maybe letting anyone in will impact our refugee shelter system. I want to ask you if you have any good ideas here."
Fang Chang asked.
"What's the manager's opinion?"
The governor said seriously.
"The manager asked me to ask for your opinion."
Fang Chang thought for a moment and said.
"This is very simple. Use the financial budget of the Port of Chips or entrust third-party companies to build some training institutions and schools that meet the standards in Kingallen Port, and then encourage employers who need labor to go to those schools to recruit people with professional skills certification.
Graduates, and we only need to issue visas to those who have already obtained employment contracts, so that they will have jobs as soon as they land, and they will not be considered refugees if they have a job and a place to live."
The governor's eyes lit up and he gave a thumbs up.
"That's a good idea!"
Fang Chang made a helpless expression.
Isn't this gay?
However, considering that there should be no such thing as a visa in the Era of Prosperity, and the inheritance of civilization in the Era of Wasteland has been interrupted, it is understandable to throw away this fine tradition.
After all, Ideal City is actually a food desert that doesn't even have "steamed vegetables." Compared with his hometown of Shanghai, this kind of thing is simply unimaginable.
In fact, the "electronic pass" recently created by their managers through the NSA is a bit like a passport and visa.
Due to the existence of electronic passes, the survivors who had originally closed their doors have opened their doors a crack. Survivors living in the member states of the Community have also gained the right to "free movement within a limited range".
Instead of having no choice most of the time like before.
In fact, to be honest, this is the most unreasonable thing.
Managers from the People's Alliance era actually came up with something that was not available in the People's Alliance era, and they used it so easily.
Sometimes Fang Chang couldn't help but wonder if this guy was an NPC played by a real person.
Just when Fang Chang was thinking wildly, the governor sitting opposite coughed slightly and continued.
"There is one more thing, mainly about Baiyue Company."
Fang Chang, who came back to his senses, nodded and said simply.
"You say."
The governor said seriously.
"The administrator hopes that you will suspend military conflicts with the empire and focus more on the southern seas."
Although it was an expected thing, Fang Chang couldn't help but show a helpless expression on his face.
"We are already doing this, including the undersea power grid, freshwater pipelines, ocean current power stations and the restart of coral cities. These infrastructure projects are subtly uniting the survivors in the southern seas to our side... But you also know,
The impact of these efforts is difficult to be seen immediately, and the benefits of order take time to manifest."
Upon hearing these remarks, the governor immediately realized that he had misunderstood what he meant and hurriedly explained.
"You misunderstood. The manager is not questioning your work. On the contrary, he thinks you have done a good job. Whether it is the unity of survivors in the southern sea area or the handling of the expeditionary force, you all have a stand.
Think carefully about the problems they encounter from the perspective of the 'managed'."
"Thank you, we just did what we should do." Fang Chang took a sip from the tea cup and said modestly, but the corners of his mouth could not help but tilt up slightly.
That guy's affirmation was still very useful to him.
The governor nodded and said.
"As long as you can understand. In short, the manager is not urging you to gain an advantage on the front immediately. What he actually means is that he hopes that you can appropriately moderate your attitude towards the empire."
The corners of Fang Chang's mouth couldn't help but move in laughter.
"Are we strict with the Empire?"
The embargo was clearly a unilateral act by the empire. They had never restricted the movement of people and goods in Kingallen Port, and even acquiesced in the existence of shadow ports like Jiaotou Bay.
As for the warlords who appeared on the border, that is none of their business.
Due to ceasefire negotiations, he even suspended contact with the rebels in the empire.
In response to Fang Chang's "cry of injustice", the Governor made a helpless expression.
"I don't know much about your affairs across the sea. I'm just conveying the administrator's wishes. In addition, the Alliance is about to sign a formal ceasefire agreement with the Empire. Duke Galawa has already made concessions on several key agreements. Mr. Administrator hopes
Kingallen Port can release Governor Nihak as a show of sincerity on our part."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment.
"That's it?"
Governor: "Is there any difficulty?"
"No...it's better to say it's too simple."
Fang Chang said dumbfounded, then opened the vm in front of him, edited a message, and then clicked send.
In a few minutes, the Kingallen Port City Hall will receive a telegram from Friesport, and the secretary he promoted will soon take care of everything.
At most tomorrow at this time, Governor Nihak will leave the prison and stand on the streets of Port Kingallen that have undergone earth-shaking changes...
I hope the governor will not be too surprised by the changes in the place he once governed.
If the empire is willing to regard this as a gesture of goodwill, it is not impossible to let the more than 10,000 prisoners of war in the prison camp go home.
After sending the message, Fang Chang looked at Mr. Governor sitting opposite and said calmly.
"It's done."
This is probably the fastest among all the tasks he has completed.
The governor-general had a surprised expression on his face, as if he was surprised by his speed.
Fang Chang looked at him and continued to ask.
"Is there anything else?"
Whether it is immigration management or showing sincerity in the ceasefire, they are trivial matters in his opinion.
If it is just this matter, there is no need to communicate it to him through the governor, just add a sentence directly on the task bar and it will be done.
He prefers to think that there are more important things.
And the fact was indeed not beyond his expectation, and the Governor indeed had something else to say.
The latter cleared his throat and continued.
"In addition, regarding the listing of Baiyue Company that you previously proposed, Mr. Manager has discussed it with experts from Camp 101, and he believes that your request is reasonable."
"Residents of the Alliance should share the fruits of the development of the Baiyue Strait, which will inspire their enthusiasm for exploring the wasteland. For you, going public means more convenient access to funds, and faster expansion of your business.
Make the cake bigger."
"But before that, you need to cooperate with the supervisors entrusted by Alliance Bank to audit and evaluate the business, funds, and assets under your name to ensure that the legitimate interests of investors and equity transactions are conducted in an open, fair and just manner."
"If everything goes well, your listing will become a successful demonstration. Mr. Manager plans to establish a special stock exchange in Shuguang City in the future to provide listing services for other companies with financing needs and good operating conditions."
Fang Chang was stunned for a moment when he heard this. When he came back to his senses, a touch of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he immediately agreed without saying a word.
"Mr. Manager, please rest assured! We will do our best to cooperate with Alliance Bank to complete the financial audit work!"
The governor smiled and nodded.
"Compared with the first two things, this is just a small thing and not worth mentioning. You just need to understand it."
After hearing these words, Fang Chang had a bright smile on his face but said nothing.
Little thing?
If this is a small matter, then there is probably nothing bigger than this!
