Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 676: Blood Tax

  Chapter 777 Blood Tax

   is called the Order of the Knights, and of course it can't really be the same as those tin cans on horses in the Middle Ages.

   In fact, even if they want to go horseback riding in retro, there is no horse for them to ride in this environment.

  Although in a sense, such regional armed forces do need mobility, horseback riding is also a solution when cars or other modern means of transportation are lacking.

   However, what Chen Xin prepared for these "knights" were snowmobiles and snowmobiles, which were of course versions with isotope thermoelectric batteries.

   Now the Yan Kingdom has already fully understood the isotope thermoelectric battery technology provided by Chen Xin, and can produce this kind of "nuclear power" vehicle.

  In fact, this kind of transportation that almost never needs to be refueled is widely used in China. Nuclear-powered snowmobiles with protective clothing are the first choice for most people who need to travel for short distances. Although driving is fine, but Cars are more often used for long-distance travel.

   After all, it is light, flexible, and easy to use. On the premise of commuting between one or two people, snowmobiles are really useful.

  Chen Xin does not intend to provide land-based ships to these knights. In fact, they don't even have a mobile base that cannot fly. They just obtained a small-scale set of prefabricated houses and functional squares from the European aid fleet. Barracks consisting of cabins.

   As for snowmobiles and other vehicles, as well as the weapons equipped by the Knights, except for a set of exoskeletons that enhance combat capabilities and protective clothing that can deal with extreme cold environments, the weapons of these Knights are still ordinary Firearms, and a few heavy weapons.

   This is mainly for the combat function of the Knights. After all, they are only facing ordinary armed elements, not alien creatures that can eliminate 9mm caliber bullets.

  According to the plan discussed by Chen Xin and each autonomous city, a knight order will be responsible for maintaining the order of three to five autonomous cities according to the size of the city, and the main thing it needs to face is the armed elements with a certain amount of force.

   Since it is fighting against people, of course, heavy weapons such as electromagnetic rifles and heavy machine guns are not needed.

   The reason why they also left some heavy weapons for them is mainly for emergency use. Usually, these knights can only use ordinary firearms and throwing explosives.

  The knights' expenses are mainly provided by the cities they are responsible for. These cities pay a certain amount of funds to the knights on a regular basis and are responsible for providing daily materials. The knights need to maintain the peace and harmony of these cities as much as possible. stability.

  With the Order of Knights, a security system consisting of the Joint Security Forces, the Autonomous Militia, and the Order of Knights was formed.

   In this system, the joint public security maintenance force is naturally the main military force. With sophisticated weapons and equipment, they are responsible for clearing up larger-scale armed separatist forces. They have good mobility and can be responsible for a considerable area.

   is not usually stationed in a certain city, but uses land-based ships as bases, and uses regular patrols as its main activity.

   The militia is the main security force in the city. They are not equipped with many weapons, only a small number of police pistols and other light weapons, scattered in their respective cities, doing the work of the former police, responsible for maintaining the city law and order.

   As for the Knights, they are a supplement between the two. They have a certain amount of armed force, mainly as a supplement to the joint security force.

   After all, the joint security maintenance force is limited to the size of the force and the way of action. Their main job is to clear up and deal with larger-scale armed separatist forces, such as remote areas or smaller-scale armed forces. They are obviously overkill. .

   And the Knights are just an effective supplement to the joint security force. They can be stationed in a certain area for a long time, and they can be assigned to patrol the main cities and settlements in the area, and even stationed in multiple cities. Cooperating with the militia can effectively maintain law and order in the area.

   It is precisely because of this advantage that the plan to establish a knight order has been supported by various autonomous cities.

   Soon, several knights were established with the support of these autonomous cities, which also effectively improved the local security environment.

   Relying on the joint efforts of the security forces, the militia and the Knights, the originally chaotic and heavily armed areas were quickly stabilized. The establishment of various autonomous cities has brought a large number of people who were not under the official control of European countries. , resources have been reused and become a powerful support for the front line.

   After all, neither the officials of European countries nor Chen Xin would allow a force as big as an autonomous city to be free from this war against alien creatures.

  Although the officials of various countries cannot effectively control the autonomous cities, they can only admit their existence by pinching their noses, but this does not mean that the officials of various countries really have nothing to do with the autonomous cities.

   After all, they are the original legal rulers of various countries, and the officials of various countries who control the armed forces of the army. If they are really pressed, they will grit their teeth and mobilize the army to take an autonomous city to kill chickens and monkeys. No.

   Therefore, as the price for the official recognition of urban autonomy in various countries, each autonomous city needs to pay taxes to the officials of various countries to support the frontline battle against alien creatures.

  Fortunately, each autonomous city also understands that ~IndoMTL.com~ can live a good life largely depends on the front line resisting the attack of alien creatures, so there is no objection on this point.

   Autonomous cities need to pay taxes to support the front lines, and the Knights are no exception.

  Although they cannot be regarded as an army, they are also military organizations. Although these knights are only supported by autonomous cities and have no source of income, they also need to pay taxes.

   It's just that they don't need to pay for resources like autonomous cities, but they need to send some personnel to directly participate in frontline operations.

  The battle against alien creatures naturally requires dead people, so this tax method is also jokingly called the "blood tax".

  According to the regulations, after each knight order is established, it needs to send a quarter of its people to the front line to participate in the battle against alien creatures every three months, and then send a quarter of its people to fight after three months. Rotation.

   In this way, a knight order is basically equivalent to one year, and everyone needs to go to the front line to serve for three months.

   Originally, Chen Xin and the officials of various countries thought that the Knights would object to this request, but they did not expect that after the request for a "blood tax" was passed on, the various Knights did not show much resistance.
