Chapter 777

The knights, of course, can't really be like those tin cans on horses in the middle ages.

In fact, even if they want to ride a horse in a retro way, there are no horses for them in this environment now.

Although in a sense, this regional armed force does need mobility, riding is also a way to solve the problem when there is a lack of cars or other modern means of transportation.

However, what Chen Xin prepared for these "knights" were snow motorcycles and snow vehicles. Of course, they were all equipped with isotope temperature difference batteries.

Now Yanguo has fully understood the isotope temperature difference battery technology provided by Chen Xin and can produce this "nuclear powered" vehicle.

In fact, domestic vehicles that almost never need to refuel are widely used. Nuclear powered snow motorcycles with protective clothing are the first choice for most people who need short-distance travel. Although driving is OK, cars are mostly used for long-distance travel.

After all, it is light, flexible and easy to use. On the premise that one or two people commute in a short distance, snow motorcycles are really easy to use.

Chen Xin does not intend to provide land ships to these knights. In fact, they don't even have a mobile base that can't fly. They just obtained a small military camp composed of movable plank houses and functional shelters from the European aid fleet.

As for snow motorcycles and other means of transportation, as well as the weapons equipped by the knights, in addition to a set of exoskeletons to improve combat ability and protective clothing to deal with extremely cold environments, the weapons of these knights are still ordinary guns and a small number of heavy weapons.

This is mainly due to the consideration of the combat functions of the Knights. After all, they have to face only ordinary militants, not alien creatures that can eliminate 9mm caliber bullets.

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

Since it is fighting against people, of course, there is no need for heavy weapons such as electromagnetic rifles and heavy machine guns.

The reason why they left them some heavy weapons was mainly to prepare for a rainy day. Usually, these knights can only use ordinary guns and throw explosives.

The expenses of the Knights 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 materials, while the Knights need to maintain the peace and stability of these cities as much as possible.

With the knights, a security system composed of joint security forces, autonomous militias and the 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 the clearance of large-scale armed separatist forces. They have good mobility and can be responsible for a considerable area.

At ordinary times, it is not stationed in a city, but takes land ships as the base and regular patrols as the main activity mode.

The militia is the main public security force in the city. They are not very armed. They only have a small number of light weapons such as police pistols, which are scattered in their respective cities, doing the work of the former police and responsible for maintaining urban public security.

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

After all, the joint security forces are limited to the size of the forces and the mode of action. Their main work is to clear up and deal with large-scale armed separatist forces, such as remote areas or small-scale armed forces. They are obviously overqualified.

The Knights are just an effective supplement to the joint security forces. They can be stationed in a certain area for a long time, assign people to patrol the main cities and residential areas in the area, and even disperse in multiple cities. Cooperating with the militia can effectively maintain the security of the area.

It is precisely because of this advantage that the scheme of establishing the 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.

With the joint efforts of the security forces, the militia and the knights, the areas with chaotic order and serious armed separatism have rapidly stabilized. The establishment of autonomous cities has made a large number of people and resources that were not officially controlled by European countries reused and become a strong support to the front line.

After all, neither European officials nor Chen Xin will obviously allow such a large force of autonomous cities to drift away from the war against alien creatures.

Although officials of all countries can not effectively control autonomous cities and can only recognize their existence by pinching their nose, this does not mean that officials of all countries really have no way to take autonomous cities.

After all, they are the original legitimate rulers of various countries. If the officials of various countries who control the armed forces such as the army are really forced to be anxious, there is no problem in biting their teeth and mobilizing the army to kill chickens and monkeys by cutting open autonomous cities.

Therefore, as the cost of official recognition of urban autonomy, autonomous cities need to pay taxes to national officials to support the front-line combat against alien creatures.

Fortunately, each autonomous city also understands that it largely depends on the front line to resist 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 are not military, 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.

However, what they need to pay is not the resources of autonomous cities, but to send some people to directly participate in the front-line operations.

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

According to the regulations, after the establishment of each knight regiment, one quarter of its people need to be transferred to the front line every three months to participate in the battle of alien creatures, and one quarter of its people will be sent for rotation after three months.

In this way, a knight order is basically equivalent to three months of service on the front line in a year.

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