Of course, the name of the Knights cannot really be the same as those tin cans riding horses in the Middle Ages.
In fact, even if they want to ride horses in a retro style, there are no horses for them to ride in this environment.
Although in a sense, this kind of regional armed force does require mobility, when cars or other modern means of transportation are lacking, riding horses is also a solution to the problem.
¡° However, what Chen Xin prepared for these ¡°knights¡± were snowmobiles and snowmobiles, which of course were all versions equipped with isotope thermoelectric batteries.
Now Yan Guo has fully understood the isotope thermoelectric battery technology provided by Chen Xin, and can produce this kind of "nuclear-powered" means of transportation.
In fact, this type of transportation that almost never requires refueling is widely used in China. Nuclear-powered snowmobiles paired with protective clothing are the first choice for most people who need to travel short distances. Although driving is also possible, there are more cars. It is still suitable for long distance travel.
After all, it is light, flexible and easy to use. On the premise of commuting short and medium distances for one or two people, snowmobiles are indeed very useful.
Chen Xin did not intend to provide land speeders to these knights. In fact, they did not even have a mobile base that could not fly. They only obtained a small set of prefabricated houses and functional cabins from the European aid fleet. military camp.
As for snowmobiles and other vehicles, as well as the weapons equipped by the knights, in addition to a set of exoskeletons that enhance combat capabilities and protective clothing that can cope with extremely cold environments, the weapons of these knights are still ordinary firearms, and A small amount of heavy weapons.
This is mainly due to the combat functions of the Knights. After all, they only have to face ordinary militants, not alien creatures that can eliminate 9mm caliber bullets.
According to the plan discussed by Chen Xin and each autonomous city, a knighthood will be responsible for maintaining the order of three to five autonomous cities according to the size of the city. The main thing it needs to face is armed elements with a certain amount of force.
Since we are fighting against people, we certainly don¡¯t need heavy weapons such as electromagnetic rifles and heavy machine guns.
The reason why some heavy weapons were left for them was mainly to prepare for emergencies. Normally, these knights could only use ordinary firearms and throw explosives.
The Knights¡¯ expenses are mainly provided by the cities they are responsible for. These cities regularly pay certain funds to the Knights and are responsible for providing daily supplies. The Knights need to maintain the peace and stability of these cities as much as possible.
With the Knights, a security system consisting of joint security forces, autonomous militia and Knights was formed.
In this system, the joint security force is naturally the main military force. With sophisticated weapons and equipment, they are responsible for clearing large-scale armed separatist forces. They have good mobility and can be responsible for a considerable area.
Usually, they are not stationed in a certain city. Instead, they use land craft as their base and regular patrols as their main activity.
The militias are the main security force in the city. They are not very equipped with weapons. They only have a small number of light weapons such as police pistols. They are scattered in their respective cities. They do the work of the former police and are responsible for maintaining urban security.
As for the Knights, they can be regarded as a supplement between the two. They have a certain amount of armed force, mainly as a supplement to the joint security maintenance force.
After all, the joint security force is limited to the size of the force and the way it operates. Their main job is to clear and deal with larger-scale armed separatist forces, such as remote areas or smaller-scale armed forces. It is obviously overkill to dispatch them.
The Knights are an effective supplement to the joint security forces. They can be stationed in a certain area for a long time, dedicate manpower to patrol the main cities and residential areas in the area, or even be stationed in multiple cities in cooperation with the militia. Can effectively maintain law and order in the area.
It is precisely because of this advantage that the plan to establish the Knights has received the support of 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, militia and knights, the originally chaotic and severely armed areas quickly stabilized. The establishment of various autonomous cities allowed a large number of populations and resources that were originally outside the official control of European countries to It was reused and became a powerful support for the front line.
After all, neither the officials of European countries nor Chen Xin will let such a large force of an autonomous city wander in the battle against alien creatures.outside the fight.
Although the officials of various countries cannot effectively control autonomous cities and can only hold their noses to admit their existence, this does not mean that the officials of various countries really have no way to control autonomous cities.
After all, they are the original legal rulers of various countries. If the officials of various countries who control the armed forces of the army are really pressed, it will not be a problem at all to mobilize the army and use autonomous cities to kill chickens and monkeys.
Therefore, as the price for the official recognition of urban autonomy by 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 their ability to live a peaceful life depends largely on the frontline resisting the attack of alien creatures, so there is no objection on this point.
Autonomous cities need to pay taxes to support the front line, and the Knights are no exception.
Although they cannot be regarded as an army, they are still military organizations. Although these knights only accept support from autonomous cities and have no source of income of their own, they still need to pay taxes.
It¡¯s just that what they need to pay is not resources like autonomous cities, but they need to send some manpower to directly participate in frontline operations.
The battle against alien creatures naturally requires the death of people, so this method of taxation is also jokingly called the "blood tax."
According to regulations, after each knighthood is established, it needs to send a quarter of its personnel to the front line to participate in the battle against alien creatures every three months, and then send a quarter of its personnel for rotation after three months.
In this way, a knighthood is basically equivalent to everyone needing to serve on the front line for three months within a year.
Originally, Chen Xin and officials from various countries thought that the knights would oppose this request, but they did not expect that after the request to collect a "blood tax" was passed on, the various knights did not show much resistance.
