歷史資料：
???? 烏克蘭一個(gè)叫賽梅德倫古斯克（Smedznegorsk）的小村莊曾發(fā)生過(guò)一場(chǎng)大地震，正是在那次救災(zāi)過(guò)程中，人們才注意到了蘇聯(lián)的新型移動(dòng)建設(shè)載具（Mobile Construction Vehicle，也就是MCV）。從援助機(jī)構(gòu)和媒體人員的宣傳來(lái)看，MCV雖然塊頭大，但乘員居然沒(méi)有多少，在為村民們分發(fā)預(yù)制的房屋組件。震后數(shù)千人無(wú)家可歸，地平線邊的天空也灰暗了下來(lái)，預(yù)示有一場(chǎng)大冰暴將降臨此地，而政府最初搭建的避難所似乎太慢了，也太少了。沉默的記者們?nèi)栽诓粩嗟匕聪驴扉T，過(guò)了一會(huì)兒，從廢墟之中，一下子升起一座迷你都市，里面的建筑雖然又灰又單調(diào)，千篇一律，可對(duì)災(zāi)民們來(lái)說(shuō)卻既溫暖又干燥，比已經(jīng)塌成堆堆瓦礫的家和公司不曉得好出多少。
????由于建造廠外形酷似圣巴西爾大教堂，蘇聯(lián)步兵們喜歡管它叫“小巴西爾”。
???? 沒(méi)過(guò)多久，蘇聯(lián)邊境邊便都能看見(jiàn)MCV的身影，即便是在最貧窮的地域，MCV也在為當(dāng)?shù)氐慕?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展貢獻(xiàn)力量。雖然蘇聯(lián)的MCV很明顯是抄襲盟軍的，不過(guò)蘇聯(lián)拿著不計(jì)其數(shù)的實(shí)地作業(yè)報(bào)告，堅(jiān)稱他們的新載具完全是為了國(guó)內(nèi)建設(shè)而設(shè)計(jì)的，且已作出了卓越貢獻(xiàn)。MCV由平民駕駛，看起來(lái)完全沒(méi)有軍方作靠山，也不能自動(dòng)建造。有這么一層偽裝，MCV確實(shí)怎么看都不像是軍方的東西。而且也因?yàn)樘K聯(lián)軍方似乎還在使用傳統(tǒng)的基地建設(shè)方法，于是就有許多地方電臺(tái)和電視臺(tái)公開(kāi)否認(rèn)MCV有任何的軍事用途。
???? 以上種種，在當(dāng)前戰(zhàn)事的一次公開(kāi)沖突中不攻自破了。亞洲中部，撒馬爾罕的一座古城爆發(fā)了起義，盟軍偵察機(jī)拍攝到了蘇聯(lián)MCV，發(fā)現(xiàn)其正在臨近省份進(jìn)行重建工作，隨后便迅速打包了組件和工人，朝著重建區(qū)外飛馳而去。數(shù)日后，蘇軍發(fā)動(dòng)了一場(chǎng)勢(shì)如破竹的奇襲作戰(zhàn)，從北邊一座固若金湯的軍事基地打了過(guò)來(lái)，協(xié)助當(dāng)?shù)仄鹆x軍，將盟軍勢(shì)力攆出了撒馬爾罕。蘇聯(lián)將MCV用于軍事行動(dòng)的秘密至此已經(jīng)藏不住了。幾乎是一夜之間，全球各地一批蘇聯(lián)新基地如雨后春筍般涌現(xiàn)，每一座基地以MCV，這些基地的建設(shè)者為中心，形成了第一波蘇聯(lián)擊敗盟軍的威脅。
???? MCV上的紀(jì)律遠(yuǎn)不及軍隊(duì)嚴(yán)明，但上面的員工們也不失奉獻(xiàn)與愛(ài)國(guó)熱情。
???? 自那以后，蘇聯(lián)MCV就成了人民起義的象征。未參與軍事行動(dòng)時(shí)，MCV及其員工就繼續(xù)重建工作，服務(wù)那些在接連不斷沖突中被摧毀的社區(qū)。那些最初現(xiàn)身于賽莫德侖古斯克的灰色建筑物，巨大、單調(diào)，如今庇護(hù)著不計(jì)其數(shù)的難民。每有一個(gè)村莊重建，就有熱情的公民或被剝奪政治權(quán)利的犯人加入紅軍，成為編制內(nèi)的一批員工。MCV的員工都還保留著平民身份，也能順利地切換這兩個(gè)不同的角色，今天跟著軍方的人建造新基地，明天就去重建一所民間學(xué)校。為國(guó)獻(xiàn)身和體恤百姓的斗爭(zhēng)也進(jìn)行得如戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)般火熱，而MCV上的工人們都在兩個(gè)戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)同時(shí)奮戰(zhàn)。

戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)筆記：?通過(guò)戰(zhàn)地偵察，已獲悉MCV至少具有以下幾個(gè)特征：

• 游來(lái)跑去——憑借六組獨(dú)立履帶，蘇聯(lián)MCV有著很好的機(jī)動(dòng)性，能走過(guò)任何蘇聯(lián)可達(dá)到的地形，也能在展開(kāi)一對(duì)壓艙浮筒，直接往水域上行駛。

• 軍工建設(shè)——與盟軍MCV一樣，蘇聯(lián)的MCV也能在陸地或水面上部署成建造廠，建造一整套的蘇聯(lián)戰(zhàn)地設(shè)施。建造廠也能輕易收起成MCV，移動(dòng)到更有利的位置。

• 露天施工——在廠內(nèi)完成建造，再整體部署到某個(gè)位置，蘇聯(lián)的建造廠是做不到這一點(diǎn)的。蘇聯(lián)的建造方式外派需要一整支建設(shè)隊(duì)前往預(yù)定地點(diǎn)，再?gòu)牡鼗_(kāi)始建造。因而建造過(guò)程易受攻擊。

• 需要保護(hù)——無(wú)論是MCV還是建造廠，都沒(méi)有配備武器，任何敵軍單位都能輕易對(duì)其發(fā)起攻擊。對(duì)此，蘇聯(lián)建議指揮官們派遣軍隊(duì)護(hù)送MCV或保護(hù)建造廠免遭摧毀。當(dāng)然，這是因?yàn)閿撤降孛娌筷?duì)都很擅長(zhǎng)躲避這臺(tái)巨大載具的碾壓，畢竟被壓到的話，那可就太糟了。

history

The world got its first view of the new Soviet Mobile Construction Vehicle in the aftermath of a devastating earthquake near the small hamlet of Smedznegorsk, Ukraine. Aid organizations and media crews broadcast images of an immense vehicle and its incongruously small crew distributing prefabricated building components to the residents of Smedznegorsk. With thousands left homeless and quickly-darkening clouds on the horizon heralding the approach of a massive ice storm, initial coverage of the government aid effort began suggesting that it may have been too little, too late. Cameras continued rolling in front of speechless reporters as, moments later, a miniature city sprung to life from the wreckage. The structures themselves were grey, drab, and cookie-cutter, but they were warm and dry, a welcome replacement for the piles of rubble that were formerly homes and businesses.

?

?

?

Soviet troops often refer to the Construction Yard as "Little Basil" because of architectural similarities to St. Basil's Cathedral.

?

?

Soon MCVs were seen across the periphery of the Soviet Union, spurring the economy in even the poorest areas of the Union. Although obviously modeled after the Allied MCV, the Soviet Union insisted that their new vehicle was designed purely for internal reconstruction efforts, pointing to numerous investigative reports showcasing the use of the MCV in the field. Manned by civilians, Soviet MCVs appeared to be operating completely without military support and apparently lacking any sort of automated construction capability. In light of this coverage, the vehicles seemed poorly suited to military ventures. Since the Soviet military seemed to be continuing to use traditional base-building methods, many media outlets began to openly doubt that the Soviet MCV had any military utility at all.

?

This was dramatically disproven during one of the opening conflicts of the current war. During the uprising in the ancient Central Asian city of Samarkand, Allied observation planes captured footage of a Soviet MCV, which had been rebuilding a nearby province, quickly pack up all modules and civilian workers and veer outside of the reconstruction zone. In a devastating surprise offensive, Soviet forces appeared several days later from an entrenched firebase a short ways to the North, successfully aiding the civilian uprising and pushing the Allied presence out of Samarkand. Their secret revealed, the fleet of Soviet MCVs sprung into action. Almost overnight, a constellation of military bases sprung up around the world - each centered around and created by an MCV - spawning the first wave of Soviet forces to threaten to overwhelm the Allies.

?

?

While their discipline is lax by military standards, the civilian MCV crews are dedicated and patriotic.

?

?

The Soviet MCV has since become an iconic figure of the people's uprising. When not engaged in combat operations, the vehicles and crews continue to serve communities destroyed by the ongoing conflict, and the grey monolithic structures first seen in Smedznegorsk now shelter countless numbers of the displaced and homeless. With each village rebuilt, the Soviet army is bolstered by the impassioned and the disenfranchised, often leaving each area with another full complement of trained workers. The MCV crews remain civilian and have little difficulty shifting back and forth between their roles, working alongside military personnel to build a new base one day, and the next day rebuilding a civilian school. Like the military conflict, the battle for the loyalty and sympathies of the civilian population rages on, and the crews of the MCVs are on the front line in both fights.

notes

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Soviet MCV:

?

? I like to move-it move-it -- With six independent tread nacelles, the Soviet MCV is extremely mobile, able to traverse any terrain accessible to other Soviet vehicles. It can seamlessly transition from land to water, deploying a pair of ballast pontoons while still in motion.

?

?

? We can build it -- Like its Allied counterpart, the Soviet version of MCV can deploy into a Construction Yard, both on land or at sea. Able to construct the full array of Soviet battlefield structures, the Construction Yard can easily convert back into its mobile form to relocate to a more advantageous location.

?

?

? In the open -- The Construction Yard is unable to build an entire structure and then deploy it as a whole. Instead, an external civilian construction team requires it to build structures from the foundation up at a predetermined location. This makes the structure being built vulnerable to attack during the construction process.

?

?

? Large and In Charge -- The MCV and Construction Yard are both unarmed and are vulnerable to attack from a variety of enemy units. Commanders are advised to provide military escorts to ensure that this important vehicle/structure is not destroyed. Of course, enemy ground units would do well to avoid being run over by this gigantic vehicle - being run over by an MCV leaves quite a mark.
