Three Hundred and Seventy Six Strategic Analysis

A few days later, the northern capital.

The brother behind the desk had a serious face and asked in a hoarse voice, "What does Moscow say?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite Brother Yi shook his head with a sullen face: "Mao Zi said that they have no plan to encircle and exterminate Boxer Ants for the time being."

Brother Yi gradually raised his eyebrows: "Have you explained the reason clearly?"

"It's very clear, and it was notified to Moscow with an official note, and we didn't even hide our military action in Linyi from them."

Brother Yi became more and more puzzled. The danger of Boxer Ants had been made very clear. How could Moscow be indifferent?

"Strange." The first brother rubbed his temples, "What else did Moscow say?"

The middle-aged man replied: "Just say thank you very much for our briefing."

The first brother sighed: "It seems that Maozi probably didn't want to deal with the boxer ants in Siberia, so he kicked the ball back for us."

"It should be like this." Qiao Yi nodded, "The essence of Maozi is in the European part. The Far East has been badly dilapidated in recent years. Moscow can rest easy as long as it moves the population of the Far East back to Europe. It doesn't need to spend so much manpower and material resources to encircle and suppress it." Box ants, Maozi can't, and won't use limited military power in the vast Siberia."

Maozi's main cities are concentrated in its European territory, while the cities in its Asian territory are extremely scattered and have a small population. Even if Maozi wants to defend, he is powerless. Instead of wasting limited manpower and material resources to go deep into Siberia, it is better to concentrate on protecting the rich. part of Europe.

Qiu Tianning interjected: "Even if they want to manage it, they have to be able to manage it. Even if Maozi mobilizes the whole people, it is impossible to go to Siberia in one winter. Since it is the same whether it is managed or not, why bother?"

"It's not that simple." The first brother shook his head, "Maozi has very few cities in Siberia, and most of them are concentrated along the big railway line. It is not difficult to withdraw people back to Europe. Even if a new ant swarm forms next year and wants to threaten Maozi's European territory , we have to climb the distance of thousands of kilometers before talking about it.”

Speaking of this, the first brother couldn't help sighing: "Ants don't know how to buy a ticket to take a train. It's such a long distance. Even if you give the ant two years, it's hard to say whether it can finish climbing. Maozi is worried about a bird?"

The Trans-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 swarm must climb at least 6,000 to 7,000 kilometers before it can enter Europe and threaten the elite areas of Maozi.

Qiu Tianning agreed: "Yes, with such a long strategic depth, even if Maozi finds out that the ant swarm is heading westward, he still has enough time to organize to intercept it. Unlike us, except for the western part where there are fewer people, other places are overcrowded no matter where we go."

Strategic depth!

The first brother frowned and sighed: "Damn strategic depth!"

Qiao Yi and Qiu Tianning were silent at the same time, just like Brother Yi said, the damn strategic depth.

The old Maozi in World War II dragged down the German Nazis with his huge strategic depth. If the box ant wants to conquer Maozi, it 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 talked with Professor Qin on the phone." The first brother said.

"What did the professor say?" Qiu Tianning asked quickly.

"The main reason is that I asked some questions." The first brother said, "The professor said that the formation of the ant colony comes from the uncontrolled expansion of the ant colony. The most important reason is that there is enough food. The reason why the ant colony appeared in Linzhou Because the weather turned cold, most of the giant ants and locusts were wiped out by the military, and the boxer ants couldn't find anything to eat, so they were forced to leave the ant nest for food."

Qiao Yi was thoughtful: "That is to say, if you can't find enough food, the ant swarm won't appear, right?"

Brother Yi nodded: "You all know the situation in Linyi. If the boxer ants are not wiped out this winter, there will definitely be another round of ant infestation next year."

Qiu Tianning's expression changed. The food reserves in the ant nest were all human beings, which meant that the ant nest of tomorrow was made of human flesh. No wonder he felt comfortable.

Qiao Yi's brows gradually tightened: "I may have guessed the reason why Maozi stood still.

"

"Oh?" Brother Yi raised his brows, "I also have some ideas, you tell me first, and I'll add it later."

Qiao Yi nodded and said: "Ant colonies migrate to find food. The animal and plant resources in the primeval forest are only relatively rich, and they will certainly not be able to withstand the sweeping of the ant tide. At that time, there must be a large number of ants who cannot find food during the migration. In the end, they starve to death, and the ant colony is likely to stop due to massive blood loss."

"Also!" Qiao Yi said again, "Siberia is located in the sub-frigid zone, and the frost-free period is only a short three months each year. No matter how fast the ants run, it is impossible to cover thousands of kilometers in such a short period of time..."

"Don't say it's a year, I'm afraid it won't finish in a few years!" Qiu Tianning interjected.

"Old Qiu is right. Boxer ants have not been able to escape to Europe for several years." Qiao Yi said, "Winter in Siberia is not a vegetarian, it is a low temperature of minus 40 degrees! The indigenous creatures of Siberia have to be prepared in advance. Get ready for winter."

"Boxer ants are not local creatures. Think about it. Before the ant swarm has traveled far, the ants feel that it is getting colder every day. They feel that they should build nests quickly and dig holes to prepare for the winter. However, the permafrost in Siberia is at least ten meters long. , the thickest part is even hundreds of meters, I want to dig a hole in the frozen soil, ha ha."

"I understand what you mean." The first brother suddenly said, "The relationship between food and boxer ants is like wolves and rabbits on the grassland. The ants who don't eat will starve to death. The number of ants is in balance with the food provided by the forest. After a point, the size of the ant colony can be fixed."

Qiu Tianning said: "Even if boxer ants can dig out a nest for the winter, more than half of the ant colony must starve to death. In the next spring, the remaining ants will have to start from scratch, and the primeval 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 swarm next year is very small, so Maozi is worried about boxing ants!"

"That's it." Qiao Yi said, "The old man has at least a few winters to wait slowly, and they don't have to worry at all."

Qiu Tianning sneered, "I hope the boxing ants won't dig through the permafrost."

"It's also possible." The first brother said optimistically.

Qiao Yi said: "I don't know much about biology, but I think creatures like ants are very sensitive to changes in climate and temperature. Digging an ant's nest should not be a problem for them. It would be good if they can starve to death."

"Speaking of this, I feel that Maozi doesn't need to talk to us." The first brother 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 it won't wait for Boxer Ants Get ready, winter is here again." (To be continued.)
