Brother No. 1 behind the desk, his face ashen as water, asked in a hoarse voice: "What did Moscow say?"
The middle-aged man sitting opposite Brother Yi shook his head solemnly: "Maozi said that they have no plans to encircle and suppress boxer ants for the time being."
Brother Yi's brows gradually rose: "Have you made the reasons clear?"
"It was very clear, and it was notified to Moscow in a formal note. Even our military operations in Linyi were not hidden from them."
The first brother became more and more confused. The dangers of boxer ants have been made very clear. How could Moscow be indifferent?
"Weird." Brother Yi rubbed his temples, "What else did Moscow say?"
The middle-aged man replied: "I just want to say thank you very much for our notification."
Brother Yi sighed: "It seems that Mao Zi probably doesn't want to worry about the boxer ants in Siberia and kicked the ball back to us again."
"That should be the case." Qiao Yi nodded, "The essence of Maozi is all in Europe. The Far East has been severely dilapidated in recent years. Moscow can sit back and relax as long as it moves the population of the Far East back to Europe. There is no need to spend so much manpower and material resources on encirclement and suppression.
Boxer ants and Maozi cannot and will not use their limited military power in the vast Siberia."
Maozi's main cities are concentrated in its European territories, and the cities in its Asian territories are extremely scattered and have a small population. Even if Maozi wants to defend it, it is powerless. Instead of wasting limited manpower and material resources and going deep into Siberia, it is better to concentrate on guarding Fuyu.
European part.
Qiu Tianning said: "Even if they want to take care of it, they have to have the ability to take care of it. Even if Mao Zi mobilizes the whole people, it is impossible to walk through Siberia in one winter. Since the management and indifference are the same, why bother to expend such effort?"
"It's not that simple." Brother Yi shook his head, "Maozi has very few cities in Siberia, and most of them are concentrated along the railway lines. It is not difficult to evacuate people to Europe. Even if a new ant wave forms next year and wants to threaten Maozi's European territory
, we have to climb the distance of several thousand kilometers first before we talk about it.”
Speaking of this, Brother Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Ant doesn't know how to buy a ticket and take a train. It's such a long distance. Even if you give the ant two years, it's hard to say whether he can complete it. What's wrong with Maozi?"
The Siberian Railway starts from Moscow in the west and ends in Vladivostok in the east, with a total length of more than 9,000 kilometers. The ant tide must climb at least 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers before it can enter Europe, thus threatening the elite areas of Maozi.
Qiu Tianning agreed: "Yes, with such far strategic depth, even if Maozi finds that the ant tide has begun to move westward, he will have enough time to organize an interception. Unlike us, except for the fact that there are fewer people in the west, other places are overcrowded no matter where we go."
Strategic depth!
Brother Yi frowned and sighed: "Damn strategic depth!"
Qiao Yi and Qiu Tianning were silent together. It was indeed as Brother Yi said, damn strategic depth.
In World War II, Lao Maozi relied on his huge strategic depth to drag down the German Nazis. If the Boxer Ants want to conquer Maozi, they must first conquer Maozi's huge strategic depth.
"Is there no way at all?" Qiu Tianning asked unwillingly, "Can the laboratory think of a way?"
"Before you came, I just had a phone call with Professor Qin." Brother Yi said.
"What did the professor say?" Qiu Tianning asked quickly.
"The main reason is that I asked some questions." Brother Yi said, "The professor said that the formation of ant tide comes from the uncontrolled expansion of ant colonies. The most important reason is that there is enough food. The reason why ant tide appeared in Linzhou
"It's because the weather turned cold and most of the giant ants and locusts were wiped out by the military. The boxer ants couldn't find anything to eat, so they were forced to leave their nests to look for food."
Qiao Yi thought thoughtfully: "That is to say, if we can't find enough food, the ant tide will not appear, right?"
Brother No. 1 nodded: "You all know the situation in Linyi. If the boxer ants are not eliminated this winter, there will definitely be another new wave of ants next year."
Qiu Tianning's expression changed. The food reserves in the ant nest were all human beings, which meant that the ant nest was made of human flesh. It was strange that he felt comfortable.
Qiao Yi's brows gradually tightened: "I may have guessed the reason why Mao Zi stood still."
"Oh?" Brother Yi raised his eyebrows, "I also have some ideas. You tell me first, and I will add later."
Qiao Yi nodded and said: "Ant colonies migrate to find food. The animal and plant resources in the primitive forest are only relatively rich, and they will definitely not be able to withstand the ant tide sweeping away the land. When the time comes, there will definitely be a large number of ants that cannot find food during the migration.
If they don't get food, they will eventually starve to death, and the ant colony will most likely be stopped due to massive blood loss."
"Also!" Qiao Yi added, "Siberia is located in the sub-arctic zone, and the frost-free period is only three months each year. No matter how fast the ants run, they cannot cover thousands of kilometers in such a short period of time..."
"Don't say it's a year, I'm afraid it won't be finished in a few years!" Qiu Tianning interrupted.
"Lao Qiu is right, the boxer ants won't be able to escape to Europe in a few years." Qiao Yi said, "The winter in Siberia is not a vegetarian, it is a low temperature of forty degrees below zero! The indigenous creatures in Siberia have to be prepared in advance
Get ready for winter."
"Boxer ants are not local creatures. Think about it. Before the ant tide has gone very far, the ants feel that it is getting colder day by day. They feel that they should quickly build nests and dig holes to prepare for the winter. However, the permafrost layer in Siberia is at least more than ten meters.
, the thickness is even hundreds of meters, I want to dig holes in the frozen soil, haha.”
"I understand what you mean." Brother Yi suddenly said, "The relationship between food and boxer ants is like wolves and rabbits on the prairie. Ants that don't eat will starve to death. The number of ants is balanced with the food provided by the forest.
After that, the size of the ant colony can be fixed."
Qiu Tianning said: "Even if the boxer ants can dig out a nest for the winter, more than half of the ant colony will definitely starve to death. The remaining ants will have to start from scratch next spring, and the virgin forest seems to be rich in resources, but in fact there is not much to eat. In this way
On the one hand, it limits the development speed of the ant colony, so the possibility of another ant tide next year is very small. It’s strange that Mao Zi is worried about boxer ants!”
"That's it." Qiao Yi said, "Old Maozi has at least a few winters to wait, so they don't have to worry at all."
Qiu Tianning sneered: "I hope the boxer ants can't dig through the permafrost."
"This is also possible." Brother Yi said optimistically.
Qiao Yi said: "I don't know much about biology, but I think that creatures such as ants are very sensitive to changes in climate and temperature. Digging ant nests should not be a problem for them. It would be good if they can starve to death."
"Having said that, I don't think Maozi needs to pay attention to us." Brother Yi said, "One more thing, spring in Siberia has to be in June, right? It will take another month or two to prepare... I'm afraid the boxer ants won't be able to wait for the boxer ants.
