Chapter 310 Earth OnLine (5)
The Blue Army's Second and Third Army, which was cut off, was soon destroyed. Modern warfare was extremely fast. Once the firepower and troops formed an absolute advantage, the outcome would be decided for only a few hours or a few minutes. The battle that lasted for more than ten days or even months before was difficult to exist in the face of modern weapons of strong killing.
The clone group won a complete victory. Although the big guys in the exercise command room knew that there was no order of magnitude difference in combat power between the two sides. From a certain perspective, the cost of clone soldiers was much higher than that of ordinary people. After all, the growth of ordinary people is a burden on individual families. The country relies on the law to recruit them. clones had to spend military expenditures from beginning to end, which was equivalent to providing millions of people in vain.
Fortunately, it is an industrial society, and overcapacity is a sign of it. In fact, the so-called tight food is actually much more waste than the increase in production. The fertility rate has declined year by year, and the quality of soldiers is also declining. Not to mention, the myopia rate in adults is already very high. It is not easy to find people with high education and suitable for ordinary soldiers. Judging from this trend, the source of ordinary soldiers is actually a good demand to satisfy.
"But the officers still want us ordinary people to serve as the role. These clones are qualified to be cannon fodder, but it is not appropriate to assume strategic command," soon all the big guys reached similar opinions.
Of course, they were not at ease with the important position of general power and handed over to clones, but when they thought about it carefully, compared to ordinary people, their ideas and education are customized, and more reliable in terms of probability. Ordinary people are educated internally and externally and cannot tolerate military independence. Therefore, even if the lower-level soldiers are acted as clones, there is no problem.
However, these people did not expect that this was the case under normal circumstances. But nearly one-third of the first clones were Ling Chen's division. If they had military power, they would have independent thinking. One-third of the military power was enough to initiate political changes and seize political power, because the other side's military power could not be concentrated quickly. They did not have the ability to concentrate on this way to deal with him.
Of course, Ling Chen would not reveal his connection with these clones. He had already made plans. When these clones began to replace their original troops on a large scale, they would start a division of their own, create a counter-seizure power, and then use the soul connection between the two sides to command behind the scenes, manipulate this huge country, and carry out a thorough transformation.
Although the efficiency of this country is already quite good, it still cannot satisfy him. In the past fifteen years, the gap between the country and the world's advanced countries has only caught up with a little in some aspects. After all, the other party is also improving, especially in technology. If decades of accumulation, it will be difficult to make up for it without market stimulation. For example, high-end medical equipment, his brain-switching robots, and their main parts, are still unable to be produced in China, let alone core computing chips.
The combat power of cloned soldiers is beyond doubt, more than that of ordinary people, but whether they are allowed to replace military forces on a large scale or use them as a reserve army, there is still huge controversy among the top leaders.
There are two main factions in this view of the top leaders. One is the conservative party led by Mr. Liu. He believes that using clones can reduce sacrifices, but in the long run it will greatly damage the nation's spirit. War is the place where soldiers gain glory. Once a nation loses the baptism of blood and fire, it will decline rapidly. The declining Spartans are a good example.
They did not expect that clones would use their power to rebel, because the modern military system, classified, logistics management, command management, etc., had long prevented the situation where one or two generals could lead the masses to rebel. clones were not robots, but also had ideas and cognitions. They would not just obey one person's orders, but were educated to obey the law and military orders, rather than obey a certain person. Of course, the legal and military order education they received was somewhat subtle.
It is difficult for them to form a separate ethnic group and group, because the difference between cloned people and normal people is just a fertility process, and everything else is the same, without ethnic differences.
On the other hand, the radicals advocate the use of clones to completely replace the existing armed forces. There are two benefits to this. One is that it can ensure the high purity of the army. The education received by these clones is completely pure and uncontaminated. They can sacrifice their lives without hesitation to defend the security of the country and nation. Of course, they are not robots, and it is also possible that a very small number of people will have unexpected results.
Police forces may continue to use ordinary people because they deal with the people, but the army is basically far away from ordinary people. Except for media such as TV and networks, or in disaster relief, ordinary people can see large-scale troops, there is little possibility of direct contact at other times, and it is easier to use clones.
It can also reduce the large amount of military expenditures per year, and a considerable part of the military expenditure is consumed in the treatment of officers and soldiers. It can also ensure that the combat effectiveness of the army will not decline, which is what they value more. The longer the peace time, the more the number of elite soldiers can continue to maintain combat effectiveness. Most ordinary troops can only rely on exercises to maintain combat effectiveness.
The conflict between the two factions is increasingly intensifying. Conservatives believe that active-duty armed forces cannot be withdrawn from service. The clones have now made millions of scales, which is too large. They should be sent to farms to recover the losses. As for the cost of such a large scale, they cannot be used as force in the end. They think that this is just paying tuition fees, which is not worth making a fuss. Moreover, this is also a technical reserve in advance. In the event of a large-scale war in the future, people can be allowed to go to the army.
Ling Chen certainly supports the radicals, only in this way can his divisions master large-scale weapons and, according to his suggestions, those conservative old guys should be cleaned up.
Of course, it is different now than before, so it can't be so bloody. He mastered brain-changing techniques, so he used some tricks to replace his brains, and basically suffered a lot of sequelae. It was not good to do it too much. However, people's memory is already complicated, and how can the surgery be without risk? Anyway, people can still move, not die, and speak, but they forget something and are a little confused, but they don't arouse many people's alertness.
In this way, in just a few years, clones began to change their clothes in full, and the original conscription rate dropped greatly. Veterans continued to retire. In less than five years, more than 80% of professional soldiers composed of clones were found.
Such a big action naturally could not be concealed by spies from various countries. Soon the situation where the country used clones as soldiers was widely circulated among the politicians of various countries.
Public opinion was in an uproar for a while, and no one expected that the country, which had always been divided into a position of occupying the righteousness, would take such measures. Don’t you know that this is unfair morality? The voice of criticism almost instantly filled the major media. The good reputation accumulated by the country over decades of operations disappeared and almost turned into a country of demons.
However, the business matters are still going on, and governments of various countries cannot immediately initiate sanctions. After all, no matter what, clones are the internal affairs of a country. The West has the legality of same-sex marriage, which is not contrary to the traditional Eastern morality. The large-scale manufacturing and use of clones in its own country has not harmed the actual financial interests of other countries. Therefore, most governments only expressed their confusion and regrets in official expressions, and did not target them in specific measures.
