Chapter 519 Flying Dragon Troops
War in modern society has undergone fundamental changes from what it was more than a hundred years ago. In the era when the Mandarin Zhang Tong showed his power, the attack method of queuing up and shooting has not been completely eliminated.
Although the war has begun to change to the direction of guns and artillery, many times the gunmen still have to draw their waist knives and engage in hand-to-hand combat after firing a few rounds of guns.
Although the Maxim heavy machine gun had been invented in 1883. But until the outbreak of World War I, army generals all over the world still believed in this concept: guns are just a warm-up before a battle, and after encountering an evenly matched opponent, it is still hand-to-hand combat that can finally determine the outcome of a war.
Fighting and assassination has always been a skill that soldiers of that era most needed to learn.
But when the time turned to the new century, the combat distance of the two groups of infantry in modern warfare has been extended from tens of meters to 100 meters in the past to 400 meters. In the exchange of fire at a distance of 400 meters, in fact, you can't see what the enemy on the other side is wearing.
In several wars in the new century, the U.S. military used its wealth and wealth to demonstrate how to fight modern warfare. It takes nearly 250,000 rounds of ammunition to destroy an enemy. This requires several military trucks to carry out the transportation. In order to destroy the copper, iron, metal and various materials consumed by an enemy, it was enough to support a small-scale war hundreds of years ago.
The reason why the form of war has changed to this way is to protect the lives of our own soldiers from a human point of view. Let them be able to fire a round of bullets first to protect themselves in any possible dangerous situation.
From an economic point of view, the value of a professionally trained soldier in modern society (including the value he creates after he retires alive) is much higher than 250,000 rounds of ammunition.
Because modern warfare has higher and higher requirements for personnel, which is different from a hundred years ago. It's not about just finding a few illiterate peasants and vagrants, and then turning them into modern soldiers after a training session.
Modern warfare has higher and higher requirements for the quality of individual soldiers. Take the Javelin individual missile equipped by the US military as an example. Soldiers need to master basic radar observation capabilities, basic coordinate positioning capabilities, and judgment on my identification signals, as well as The weapon itself is a complex operating system.
No one knows whether the Javelin individual missile is the best individual missile in the world, but what is certain is that it must be the most complex individual missile in the world.
Although it is powerful and accurate. Almost capable of destroying most armored targets and bunkers. But if this kind of weapon is handed over to ordinary terrorists, they will not be able to use it at all. Can't even turn it on.
This requires professional training. Therefore, the increasing application of these high-tech weapons in modern warfare has led to higher and higher requirements for the basic quality of soldiers.
High school students have almost become the basic requirement, and it is best to be able to recruit college graduates to join the army.
And this is Zhang Tong's dilemma. The more educated people are, the less likely they will be bewitched by his words and deeds. He has a magic ring that can control the mind, but he can't hypnotize hundreds of thousands of grassroots soldiers. He is not Professor X, and he doesn't have that strong mental power.
The form of modern warfare has made many things Zhang Tong learned before in vain. Especially his kind of argument, the theory of emperors has not much market in today's society.
Apart from recruiting some less educated people, or some anti-social thugs for profit, there are not many people who can join his banner. The more high-end talents he can recruit, the less he can recruit.
The only good thing is that he still has a [spiritual] magic ring. This allowed him to control a group of scientists.
Although Zhang Tong doesn't believe in the theory of weapons winning, he also knows that if there is a huge gap in the weapons of the mob under him, then there is no need to fight this battle at all, and there is no room for turning around.
So after controlling a group of scientists, Zhang Tong turned his attention to the [dragon] in this mountain range.
In the era of underdeveloped information more than a hundred years ago, this looks like [Alduin] in the game of Western magic works and may be mistaken for the legendary dragon.
But now, Zhang Tong can clearly confirm that this western dragon-like creature has nothing to do with any myths and legends, it is just an alien creature. Scouts sent by a civilized race called the Dragonmen.
He came to the earth about 900 years ago (it was still the time of Master Merlin, and the ancient one was not born yet), but he has been in a deep sleep for some reason. But Zhang Tong didn't care where this guy came from, he cared more about what this creature could do for him.
Zhang Tong's footsteps walked in this natural cave, and there was a trampling echo. This sound seemed to wake up the sleeping dragon. It shook its huge head, and a burst of hot flames spewed out from its nostrils smelling of sulfur and fireworks, which reminded people of the legendary dragon's breath.
But Zhang Tong was not afraid of such a huge monster, even though he was as small as an ant in front of this giant dragon.
Because when he found this place for the first time, when this giant dragon was sleeping, he used the magic power of the Lord of the Rings and his own profound skills to release the restriction on this beast. If it weren't for the fact that the giant dragon was still sleeping at that time, Zhang Tong, who had not yet achieved his magic skills at the time, really didn't have much confidence in success.
And after so many years, Zhang Tong's strength has increased, and he doesn't care much about the threat of this giant dragon. Because sometimes the strength of strength is not determined by the size of the body.
The giant dragon opened its eyes. Its eyeballs are a crystal structure similar to that of a king cobra, but they are magnified many times.
"Zhang Tong." The dragon was able to utter words and express emotions clearly. It obviously didn't like Zhang Tong. From this performance, it is not difficult to find that it is an intelligent creature.
"Extraordinary Dragon. You know what I'm going to do today. Don't make too much resistance, it's meaningless." Although Zhang Tong is countless times smaller than Extraordinary Dragon in size, he looks like the owner of this giant.
"Roar!" The giant dragon named Fei Feilong roared unwillingly. But he looked at Zhang Tong in fear, and finally crawled obediently on the ground.
Zhang Tong nodded in satisfaction, and he waved his hand lightly. Hundreds of people holding all kinds of equipment suddenly appeared from nowhere, and ran towards Fanfanlong quickly.
They inserted various instruments and equipment into the body of the extraordinary dragon, which made the behemoth look very uncomfortable.
"Zhang Tong, use my clone to form a flying dragon army to help you dominate the world, why don't we just cooperate?" Fei Feilong has mentioned this matter to Zhang Tong for the first time, and he wants to try his best to persuade Zhang Tong Tong.
Otherwise, one day I will be raped by this guy.
"I can help you find allies in the universe. There are many interstellar pirates and smugglers, and they will sell all kinds of weapons. I can act as a liaison and help you find them. With those high-tech weapons, you can definitely get rid of them." Overwhelm those forces on Earth."
Zhang Tong smiled disdainfully: "However, what is the price? Divide half of the earth to aliens? And those high-tech weapons, do you think the group of idiots under me can use them? Do you have to buy them again at that time?" Invite a group of interstellar mercenaries to help me fight the country!"
"Pay half the price of the earth, at least you can get the other half." Fei Feilong immediately said: "It's better than getting nothing."
Zhang Tong glanced at the giant dragon and shook his head: "You have been asleep for hundreds of thousands of years, but I have only slept for sixty years, and the earth has changed. You have been asleep for so long, for the universe I’m afraid it’s already an old antique. The interstellar pirates you mentioned, I’m afraid they have long been wiped out.”
"I can convince my race, the giant dragon family. As long as I cede the moon, I can convince them." Fei Feilong said quickly.
Zhang Tong did not believe what Fei Feilong said from the beginning to the end, and Zhang Tong, who was born in the late Qing Dynasty, had experienced the era of semi-feudal colonialism.
He knew very well what kind of chaotic era it was, and he didn't like it. If foreigners are replaced with aliens, there is actually no sense of disobedience.
"You still pray that I will unify China as soon as possible, and then I have the opportunity to unify the world. In that case, you may still have a way to survive, Fei Feilong." Zhang Tong stared at Fei Feilong, who felt the chaos of his brain and the pain of his body powerless. It leaned its big head on the ground again.
"After I complete my goal, maybe I will contact your civilization. But not now." Zhang Tong didn't want to pay attention to Fei Feilong anymore.
He started to fly at a low speed at the entrance of the cave, passed through a long and narrow tunnel, and came to another open place connected to the cave.
This is where Zhang Tong trained his secret weapon. Just like what he said just now, he couldn't make the group of soldiers under him become very educated all at once. Operating high-tech weapons requires a lot of knowledge.
But there is another way to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers in modern society, and that is biological transformation!
The area in front of Zhang Tong is the secret weapon he has prepared for so many years. Countless huge petri dishes and huge incubators lined up this cave.
From those green petri dishes, we can see clones of extraordinary dragons one by one. It was a biped wyvern with dark scales, and its body length ranged from ten to a hundred meters.
But the number of flying dragons that can be seen in this area alone exceeds thousands. Few people know the combat effectiveness of this army, but at least one thing is certain, and Zhang Tong is very satisfied with it.
Zhang Tong kept a real army of flying dragons in captivity, for which he endured for more than twenty years! Now Zhang Tong's plan has gradually become more perfect and clear.
After having a sufficiently strong army, he will start from Central Asia, first integrate and establish a country in this region. Then, based on the oil resources in the Middle East and Central Asia, he will continue to expand his own strength, and finally realize his dream of embezzling China and the world.
But when it comes to oil resources, Zhang Tong couldn't help but clenched his fists: "Tony Stark!" He cursed the name in a low voice.
And at this moment, a messenger in the base ran to Zhang Tong's side and reported him a news.
Tony Stark held a press conference in New York, announcing that he was responsible for attacking several bases of the Ten Rings Gang, and also provocatively announced that he would completely eradicate the Ten Rings Gang and eliminate the Mandarin.
Zhang Tong didn't look down on the guy in the tin can at all. If he took off the armor, Tony Stark would be nothing in Zhang Tong's eyes. He's just a puny bug.
But now that a bug dared to challenge his authority like this, Zhang Tong felt that he should give the bug a little color. At the same time, the predicament he was in now could only be broken by killing Tony Stark! (Note)
Note: Regarding the predicament and breaking the situation, it was mentioned in the previous chapters, Shang Qi talked with Li Qianhuan and Iron Fist. The general meaning is the transfer of contradictions, attracting firepower and hatred to Latvia in Eastern Europe. I will not explain and repeat here.
