Stellaris from the Automata Era

Then a weak opponent seems to intensify their ambitions.

"Their (Earth's) land should have a large market share. If we can open it up and dump it, I'm afraid many problems can be solved. I think we need to 'subsidize' them."

"Member, we're all family here. There's no need to sugarcoat your actions."

ps: Capital itself is so cruel. If the slime wants to re-mix the dough, then they must have a fulcrum to tilt the market. This behavior logic should make sense. Anyway, the novel has bugs, so please don't find fault with it. - by a salted fish who is still typing in the middle of the night and lacks relevant knowledge

Chapter 263: The fight finally broke out.

In the end, three months passed quietly.

What Yan Luo was worried about, that he would be suddenly punched, did not happen. In fact, it seemed that the slimes were determined to fight the Earth, but their weapon reconstruction did not seem to keep up with their determination to be open and enterprising.

It's also easy to understand.

If we talk about the fourth-class people and the army, the minimum basic requirement is just to be able to hold weapons and fire.

Then the soldiers involved in the battleship group need to have considerable knowledge as the most basic hard condition.

Slime's original idea was to recruit all the soldiers who had been disbanded due to disarmament, but when it came to actual operation, it was found to be somewhat difficult.

The first and most important reason is that most of the original people quickly starved to death on the streets of the slums after losing their jobs.

Those who are still alive probably can't stand the ups and downs of life with nothing but poverty, so they go to high altitudes to perform mud-flying shows.

Then there are the remaining people, who should truly possess advanced academic talents and be able to engage in a range of tasks such as warship driving, communications, and maintenance.

These slimes should now become contractual assets of each company.

According to the current national conditions in the country, it will probably take a lot of time for the various companies to hand over these people.

This also means that the slime's force reconstruction is almost starting from scratch, and they need more time to review personnel and training.

Three months might just be enough for them to understand how a warship moves forward. In terms of Earth terms, they would be a mob.

However, the upper echelons of the slime may not have much self-awareness of the current situation. As soon as the Cosmic Dream Strike Fleet at their frontline completed the first phase of training, they were immediately ordered to attack.

"I have to warn you, the army is not prepared at all! Most of our soldiers are just learning to pull the trigger. You don't want them to attack like this, do you?"

It is actually difficult for the commanding Slime General to deal with the stupid actions of his superiors.

Compared to the upper-class businessmen and politicians who know nothing about military affairs, professionals like these still have some common sense about military affairs.

Naturally, he also knew that a poorly trained army could not fulfill its due responsibilities, so until now, this loyal general was still trying to persuade the higher-ups.

"I know, but they just learned to pull the trigger. What does that have to do with the duel between battleships?"

Holy shit...it makes so much sense.

Such a powerful reason made the slime's brain unable to react for a moment.

It took a while for it to sort out its thoughts.

"But they couldn't even train the simplest army properly, and the people on those warships..."

"The crews on those warships will likely suffer heavy casualties. After all, the enemy was able to outnumber them five to one. Therefore, a conservative estimate is that the casualties will be one to one."

It seems that this upper layer of slime does not lack professional knowledge, but has other purposes.

Looking at the indifferent upper layer of mud, the general hesitated for a long time before speaking tentatively.

"May I ask what your family business is?"

The upper slime also responded quickly.

"Shipbuilding Company."

Isn't this clear?

The essence is that the slime in the merchant kingdom may really not care about temporary victory or defeat.

They will pay more attention to what they will gain in the process, such as... ship manufacturing companies. This is easy to understand.

Isn't this forcing the country to scrap outdated products and purchase new ones?

Ship production will cheer, alloy production and mineral production will also cheer, this is a series of benefits.

They may even expect the war to last longer and become more...intense.

"But... pensions for those killed in battle will also be a considerable expense, right?"

The specific expenses at the civilization level are borne by each company together. Although there is a membership fee mechanism, if the deficit is obviously too high, the current chairman has the power to require additional funding from each company.

"Don't worry, my general. We don't have the time to select the right personnel. The slimes with family members this time are only rare."

hiss..

As the backbone of military power, the Ooze may cut the military personnel, but they will not withhold the soldiers' wages and pensions.

After all, they are still aware that their own interests need to be protected by violence.

If they couldn't even do this, they would have been hung on the street lights by the mob below.

This also means that military practitioners have always been the most rigorously scrutinized among the soft mud.

But now... I have no family members...

This means that once a soldier dies in battle, the United Group does not have to pay any post-war pension funds.

I'm afraid the general will soon hear news like, 'Out of love for the country, many of the oozes who died in the war voluntarily and free of charge handed over their pensions to the country after the war.'

What’s even more interesting is that it is estimated that these slimes may not have received their wages. After all, having no family members means that their living conditions were not very good before.

As long as they have enough food to eat, they will be satisfied (note), and their wages can be owed and paid after the war.

Perhaps this is the effect that the slime wants, as Yan Luo said.

I'm playing Victoria and there are too many unemployed people. What should I do? I can only use long wars to consume the excess population.

If this still doesn't work! You can only go to the mod's labor reform camp. (Photo) (Note 2)

We call it efficient

Really efficient..

The general has realized that he can no longer persuade the higher-ups to make a decision, and if he dares to continue to disobey, he may have to pack up and leave immediately.

Everyone has said so much, if you don’t understand it, you’d be a fool.
