During this time, I have actually been worried that subscriptions to this book will plummet like the last book.
Fortunately, this did not happen. The first order of 1,300 has fluctuated to around 1,150. It is estimated that there are one or two hundred readers, and it is normal for the first order to drop more than 100.
This shows that the book is quite attractive, and it also shows that there is nothing wrong with me writing it this way.
Compared with all previous books, I think this book has two characteristics:
The first is the conscious portrayal of character...
Of course, when I wrote books before, I also portrayed characters, but I did so in an unconscious state, and usually the characters were slightly different at the beginning, and then the characters gradually became blurred and basically became the same.
There are even more typos and illogical sentences.
This is actually normal, because after writing for a period of time, you will encounter something called a burnout period. Once you relax, you can't take it back.
This book is already half a million words long, and I feel that it still maintains the personality of each character.
Problems with typos and smooth sentences are definitely very rare, because I revised each chapter at least once, and some even revised it two or three times. This is one of the reasons why my coding is slow.
There are also many readers who pointed out some fish that slipped through the net, and I am very grateful.
But the VIP chapter will be locked and cannot be changed in a few days, which is a pity.
On the other hand, I think this book is about the Eighth Route Army developing military industry under extremely difficult conditions under blockade.
In fact, all old readers know that the books I write are relatively rigorous, at least logically sound, and will not give up rationality in the pursuit of fun.
Because I think rationality is the root of all stories. Without rationality, all the fun points are like flowers floating on the water. They look beautiful but will soon wither, become corrupt, and eventually disappear.
But if there is reasonable support, these cool spots will have roots and life. Although it is difficult, slow, and even dull, you can enjoy the process of sprouting, budding, blooming, and finally bearing fruit.
Therefore, the military industry in this article is actually a reasonable development based on the actual situation of the Eighth Route Army, including tactical support.
This must require that the system's role is not great, otherwise the system will "ding" for a tank and then "ding" for several aircraft, and the rationality will no longer exist.
Sometimes in order to balance rationality, I have to make some compromises with myself.
Such as reverse slope tactics.
Old readers must know that this tactic has been used several times in old books.
I also recognize the problem with this reuse.
but……
If the Eighth Route Army wants to block the enemy's attack, only this tactic is feasible... If there are other tactics, they should appear more than ten years later when supporting Korea.
Or just block it forcefully like this?
It doesn't seem right either.
I had no choice but to use it anyway, but I didn't expand on it in as much detail as before.
The problem I encountered in the second volume is that I have written a lot of books. I am originally good at combat scenes, but the better I am, the more familiar things are and the more I cannot break through them, and I will fall into the same routine.
Not coming.
This is the main reason why my coding has been slow and punctual recently.
Because I was writing about the battlefield, I didn’t want to use the same old tricks to get the word count, so I had to think over and over again, revise it over and over again, and even overturned a few chapters in the process.
Li Yunlong's character and thoughts have historical reasons for their existence.
During the period when this book is set, the Eighth Route Army was not as rigid as imagined, and everything followed disciplines and orders.
This was mainly because the communications equipment of the Eighth Route Army was extremely backward at that time, and even battalion-level troops could not be recovered even if they were sent out to fight.
Therefore, in most cases, the troops decide on their own whether to fight or withdraw, and the battle is often over when superiors receive the information.
That's why the Hundred Regiment Battle originally planned for twenty regiments, but ended up with more than a hundred regiments going up.
If these more than one hundred regiments were to be commanded by the headquarters... firstly, there would be no conditions, secondly, there would be no need, and thirdly, they would not be able to command them.
Therefore, the troops at that time had great autonomy. Liang Jianli mentioned that the battalions were dispersed and developed in various places. Li Yunlong didn't know what the development would become. When he took it back and wanted to attack Ping'an County, he discovered that there were so many more people.
In the same way, Li Yunlong, the commander of the regiment, also has a lot of autonomy, so he was able to do this. This cannot be denied by saying "military orders are like mountains" and being labeled as disobeying military orders.
This is the end of the second volume. Thank you all book friends for your support.
Tonight, in the first chapter of "Volume Three: Breaking through the Blockade", the struggle between us and the enemy will enter a new stage. I believe you will not be disappointed!
