Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 516 An Opportunity for Human Progress

The high-level coalition forces were already very satisfied with such a result, and everyone selectively ignored Mengye's seemingly cold-blooded and reckless orders.

The Xel'Naga demons, the backbone of the demon army on the earth, have all escaped or been wiped out. Although there are more than 3000 million demon troops remaining in the urban area of ​​Detroit, although they are large in number, they have no threat and have become fish on the chopping board.

Eight o'clock in the morning on October 8.

Zhong Cheng ordered the besieging Zerg army to launch a general attack on Detroit city.

An army of more than 8 million Zergs rushed to Detroit like a tide, sweeping the demon army entrenched in the city with a devastating force.

The extremely ferocious Warcraft army lost its command system and fought on its own, becoming a real trapped beast, interspersed and divided by the overwhelmingly powerful Zerg army, annihilating them one by one.

There is no suspense in this final battle. By nine o'clock in the evening, the Zerg army has covered every corner of the city!
All the demon army was wiped out, and the last stronghold of the demon on the earth was uprooted.

The earth war that lasted for a year is over!
Although everyone was rejoicing, the Federation did not make high-profile publicity because the war had not yet ended.

Before the demon lair on Jupiter was eradicated, the sword hanging above the human head still threatened the safety of the Federation.

In the afternoon of the same day, Shi Hanxing reported to Zhong Cheng that more than 100 million humans had been rescued in the industrial zone of Detroit. These people were specially reserved by the demons for military production.

They have a special status in the area ruled by the demons, and they have a higher status than the humans raised by the demons, so they survived this battle.

The federal army cleaning up the battlefield detained these humans serving the demons, and they didn't know how to deal with them.

Zhong Cheng believed that they were not willing to make weapons for the demons under the pressure of the situation, so they were not guilty.

Just identify whether there are people controlled by the demons and whether they have committed crimes against humans.

The next day, Shi Hanxing brought a shocking intelligence to the high-level coalition forces.

The federal military intelligence department interrogated the people in charge of the production of the Demon Race's military industry. They had a lot of dealings with the Demon Race's high-level officials on the earth.

As for the supreme commander of the demon army on Earth that the Federation is most interested in, based on the information provided by these responsible personnel, it can be confirmed that it is the supreme commander of the Xel'Naga Empire, Demon Emperor Sargeras.

Sargeras personally led the demon army to invade the earth, far away from the old nest, and fought alone in the heart of the Federation.

This made all the high-level coalition forces, including Zhong Cheng, unbelievable. The greatest enemy of mankind escaped right under their noses, and everyone regretted it.

Sargeras dared to take risks with himself, seemingly reckless, but in fact he was very shrewd, fully considering the advantages and disadvantages of demons and humans.

It chose to fight on Earth, where the Federation had the most dense population and the richest biological resources, instead of repeating the mistakes of the Empire, fighting a war of attrition with the Federation in the barren asteroid belt or Mars.

Only by personally commanding the war as the Demon Emperor and its wisdom can the combat effectiveness of the Demon Army be brought into full play.

This is similar to Zhong Cheng's visit to Mars to direct the Mars Defense War, only more dangerous.

If the Federation hadn't received the support of the Forsaken, the demons had successfully occupied the earth, and the Federation lost the earth, and there was no possibility of victory.

Although Zhong Cheng and others hated the devil Sargeras, they had to admit that he was a respectable opponent.

It also strengthened his determination to uproot the demons. If Sargeras survives for a day, human beings will hardly have peace!
……

Although Zhong Cheng really wants to send troops to Jupiter immediately, there is one necessary work that needs to be done first.

Starting from August 8th, all the coalition forces have been dispatched to conduct a carpet search of all corners of the earth, including the ocean, and must wipe out all the forces of the demons left on the earth.

With the help of an army of nearly one billion Zergs, it took more than two months for the coalition forces to complete the "search of mountains and seas".

The coalition forces cleared nearly ten million remnants of the demons in the deep mountains, old ditches, oceans and lakes, including more than 30 Xelnaga demon fighters, completely cutting off the chance of the demons resurging on the earth.

During this time, the rebuilding of the Earth also began.

Under the leadership of Yang Shuzhen, Zhou Hu, Lu Huo and others, the remaining 30 billion human beings on the earth began to transfer from Qinghai-Tibet and surrounding areas to all parts of the world to rebuild cities, industry and agriculture.

However, most of the original cities on the earth are destined to be irreversible. The Earth Reconstruction Committee decided to select 500 large cities for reconstruction, and return the other cities and towns to nature.

Yang Shuzhen plans to complete the reconstruction project within three years, but there is a very complicated and troublesome problem that she cannot decide.

More than a year of war on the earth has resulted in the death of more than half of the human race, especially in South Asia, Africa, and the Americas, where the population is almost extinct.

Those island areas that fell into the hands of the demons first, such as the British Isles, the Japanese Islands, and the Nanyang Islands, also became no-man's land.

The Huaxia region suffered the smallest population loss on earth. Except for a few large coastal cities, the people in other regions were basically safely evacuated to the Qinghai-Tibet region or to Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Such a situation has caused countless industries and assets on the earth to become unowned. How to deal with a large number of unowned assets has become the first issue that the Earth Reconstruction Committee must consider.

Yang Shuzhen, Zhou Hu and others found Zhong Cheng, and Zhong Cheng said without hesitation that all these unowned assets would be returned to the Federation.

There is a problem that everyone ignores, that is, according to the federal law, it is impossible for Zhong Cheng to have the final say on such a big issue, and it must be discussed and decided by the federal parliament.

But where is the federal parliament now?
Zhong Cheng's decisive decision contains his personal "selfishness". He believes that the development of human society has reached this stage, and it is time to abolish private ownership.

Without the abolition of private ownership, fairness in human society will never be realized.

While private ownership is abolished, fairness will not be achieved immediately, but at least extreme inequality will disappear.

But Zhong Cheng also knows that the abolition of private ownership has too much impact on human ideology, and a guiding process is still needed.

Even if it cannot be achieved in one step, at least all federal enterprises must be publicized first, the market economy shall be abolished, and all operating units shall be included in the federal planning management system.

For the sake of the war, the Federation implemented a wartime economic management system that lasted five years. To put it bluntly, it was a complete planning management system.

All production, operation and material supply are completely determined by the plan formulated by the Federal Military Production Management Committee, and such a plan is by no means determined by brainstorming.

The federation has realized the data management of all industrial chains, supply, marketing and storage links, and material consumption and consumption links, and has been handed over to the Pangu economic management system that has been running for many years from Red Star Company.

It is this effective wartime economic management system that has allowed the Federation to maintain a huge war consumption and persist until now.

After the war, as long as it is slightly adjusted, it can be regarded as the normal economic operation system of the Federation.

A complete planned management system naturally excludes private ownership, and as long as it persists for a period of time, the realization of public ownership will come naturally.

Although it has been hundreds of years, Zhong Cheng has not forgotten the ideals and original aspirations of his predecessors.

War has brought serious pain to mankind, but it has also brought opportunities for the progress of human society.
