Chapter III
At the very beginning, neither the generals who had formulated the plan for the battle on the moon nor the soldiers who were stationed in that deserted place would have imagined that the battle in this broken place would become what it is now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info's original battle plans were all based on battles exposed to a vacuum, and for this reason, coupled with the geography of the moon, a large-scale infantry and tank coordinated impact operation could not be compared to a pure ground armored force operation in terms of cost performance or actual battlefield effect - in fact, as it is now, the situation of exposure to the lunar surface is indeed the case. Although the rapid construction of temporary positions by infantry equipped with individual exoskeletons can play a certain role in defensive warfare (especially in the face of large-scale insect swarm onslaught), due to the basic absence of road traffic system, it is almost impossible to launch an offensive with large-scale infantry in the problem of mobility, but the airborne special operation method is better.
Most of these things were expected by the generals. However, to their surprise, there was another kind of main battlefield on the moon: the battle of the intricate internal structure located inside the moon. The perfect transportation system of the moon capital makes the entire battlefield completely different from the internal operations of the moon surface base: the battle there is equivalent to endless street fighting in a city the size of the entire moon, and this has obviously long gone beyond the concept of street fighting, not to mention that the transportation system of the moon capital still has such a strange thing as a "teleportation transportation network".
In other words, the battle was carried out in the moon capital, and the battlefield was completely chaotic. No one can say for sure if there will be an enemy suddenly in your control area, although the carrying capacity of the "teleportation node" is not very high, but it is not uncommon for a special team to jump in to sabotage and then evacuate, and this thing seems to have no way to be destroyed at all, it is very strong, and it is impossible to gain control of the right of way, so it can only be left open to all nodes at will. That's why the Nazis were able to gain a big advantage in the battle on the moon: they were adapted to this form of warfare after all, and there were small, fast-hatching eggs.
Again, this battlefield situation means that reconnaissance units can obtain military intelligence more easily than in traditional warfare, after all, the front-line penetration and retreat of reconnaissance units are in some ways much easier. In a situation of multi-party scuffle, this situation makes the battlefield even more complex and unpredictable...... But at least this should be a good thing for the reconnaissance troops.
So, if Mooncapital's public transportation network wasn't like this, K and L wouldn't have been able to watch the battle so easily in camouflage β and by the way, capture targets that might save them from their current situation.
ββ¦β¦ I didn't expect it to be a ghost...... There will really be ghosts ......"
K's soliloquy largely indicates the feelings shared by the two people. They thought that the news should have been just a rumor, or, even if it was, it wouldn't be something they could come across. But just now, they witnessed it: a ghost appeared, made some strange moves, and then went into hiding because of the fighting. After the battle was over, the Chinese retreated, he came out again, and then ran in one direction. Following this guy closely, K's heart was full of unease: the time might come when they would be able to change their circumstances.
Now their sniper group is not operating on the moon as a European Union special forces. It was a past that they had long since been tainted and could no longer recapture. Now, they are mercenaries under the "fritters", and as for what purpose the "fritters" used and what means they used to develop a small mercenary force in this harsh environment, the two of them don't want to know at all. The man was a pure businessman and seemed keen to sell "mass death of humanity", so working under such a guy would never end well, and both K and L were convinced of this.
This may be their last chance to get rid of that damn thing.
"What are we supposed to do? The cost of catching a ghost is too great, and I don't want to engage in a battle that I don't know if I'm not sure. Confirming that they were indeed biting the ghost tightly, K asked L in a low voice, "But we can't follow him all the time." He's a ghost, and we're going to lose it. β
"Keep at it. God forbid. β
"yes, God willing, if only we could find something like the connector." Nodding, K continued to follow the shadow caught by the scope. Suddenly, he asked a completely unrelated question, "...... Will Europe be able to hold on? β
"No more. By the end of the war, Europe will not be the Europe of Europeans. β
"Europe never seemed to be European's Europe. All I know is that Germany is the Germany of the Germans, France is the France of the French, and Britain is the Britain of the Britons......"
"Don't say it. Keep up with the goal. β
K obediently closed his mouth. In fact, from the moment this war broke out, many people understood the sad truth: Europe has never been, and will never be, a single entity, unless it is completely conquered. The question now is whether Europa will become the Europa of America or the Europa of Russia.
Neither ends well. But there's something worse than that: Europa turned into a Nazi β the Europa of the monster it bred almost a century and a half ago.
Neither of them had the energy to think about the fate of their homeland, but the sense of loyalty to being a soldier still haunted them. Shaking his head slightly, K threw the mess out of his mind, and secretly told himself in his heart that the only thing he needed to think about now was to get information about that ghost......
This is a vote for Americans. Without this thing, they can only be forever shrouded in the shadow of "fritters".
βββββββββββββββββ Dividing Lineβββββββββββββββββββ
"Wait...... Mianyue Yiji. Feeling that his steps were a little unsteady, Reimu's body shook for a moment, and he subconsciously asked in a tone of disbelief. What did you just say? Could you please say it again? β
After blurting out these words, she suddenly laughed. She felt that she really slept for a long time, which made her brain a little unusable. What did she just hear? It was obviously something extremely ridiculous, otherwise I wouldn't have felt ridiculous for a moment of panic after realizing the absurdity of that thing. Shaking his head with a smile, Reimu straightened her hair to cover up her momentary panic: "I seem to have misheard ...... just now"
"No, you heard it right. I'm not wrong. Staring at Reimong's eyes, Mianyue Yiji's voice did not show a trace of hesitation or hesitation, and repeated again, "Ge Yiwei is dead. This placeβ"
As she spoke, she lowered her eyebrows and pointed to the knife that seemed to have been stuck in the ground for a long time, but still maintained a considerable sharpness: "This is his tomb." This knife is his tombstone. β
"No...... Right? Using the incredulity deliberately emphasized in his voice to hide the trembling in it, Reimu's breathing became a little rapid, "Xiao Wei ...... How could he die so easily? I don't believe it. He must have gotten into some trouble again, trying to get you to lie to us......"
Reimu's words were immediately echoed by Sanae behind him. Clenched his fists, the latter's eyes were already filled with tears, as if he was about to rush out at any moment: "...... Yes, Mr. Ge's words...... I do this kind of thing a lot. It's best to face something together...... But he always avoided us. β
"So where the hell is Xiaowei now?" Putting his hand in his blonde hair and brushing it, Marisa's tone sounded obviously the most optimistic of the three, but daring to look at the movement of the knife that Mianyue Yiji called "tombstone" from the corner of his eye also said something to some extent. With her mouth curled, she took a deep breath, "It's time to change his bad character." Even if it is said that it may be a little embarrassing for the two of us to meet because of what happened in the end, it will not be able to lie to us in this way...... Right? β
"Wait, Marisa? What embarrassing thing happened to you and Mr. Ge? Can you elaborate on that? β
"That's it, that...... Ah......h......h It's like, a marriage proposal or something......"
"Enough!"
Seeing that it seemed that his words were not listened to by the three of them at all, Mianyue Yihime, who had been biting her lip, roared in a low voice. As if tired of holding the handle of the knife in her hand, she leaned her weight on the knife, and for some reason she was angryβperhaps because her words were not being believed, or because the trio didn't seem to take the news that Ge Yiwei was dead at all. Reimu was a little flustered about this anger, but quickly calmed down again: "Why are you angry? We're just saying the most likely scenario based on Xiaowei's usual style. By the way, why are you helping him? It won't be because ......"
"Ge Yiwei was stabbed to death by me. Just use this knife. I pierced his artery with the blade of a knife with my own hands and watched him die completely from the massive bleeding. β
This sentence finally made the faces of the three people completely change. After a moment of silence, Reimu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to deny something, but then immediately pushed Mianyue Yiji aside, pulled out the one that was supposed to be fixed to death, and used it as a shovel to start digging the earth. Startled by her sudden behavior, Sanae and Marisa hurriedly grabbed her:
"Reimu!? What are you doing? β
"Don't listen to her, Reimu! Xiaowei is definitely alive! β
"Of course I know Xiaowei is still alive! So I'm going to expose this guy's lies! Stretching out his index finger and slamming it at Mizuki Yihime, Reimu's eyes widened, "We slept...... For how long? No water, no food, five days at most, right? In other words, if Xiaowei is really buried here, on this moon, the body will definitely ......"
"I'm not idiotic enough to let that man's body come and add a burden to the ecosystem of the moon capital - he was cremated when he was buried, and you can only see his urn." With a cold snort, Mianyue Yiji turned around, "Also, you've been sleeping for five years. β
"Just stay here and make a fool of yourself, shit. When the boredom was over, he went back to the camp. β
No one knows if Mianyue Yiji left quickly because she was afraid of the trio's revenge, but her departure was indeed fast. Looking up at her back, Reimu continued to lower her head and concentrate on digging, and when a small hole had already appeared in the ground, she threw the knife directly to the other side and dug it with both hands. Naturally, the other two people were not idle, and at the same time knelt on the ground and kept turning out the sand with their hands. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Sanae's expression froze: her hand seemed to touch something hard.
It was a white jade box, carved with something that the three people couldn't understand and didn't care about at all, and the warm and greasy surface gave people a rather delicate touch. With a frightened expression on her face because of her own discovery, Sanae sat down on the ground all of a sudden, shaking her head and retreating, tears streaming down her face: "No...... This is not true...... Mr. Ge ......"
The two who followed quickly made a move. The lid of the box was easily removed, and the contents were clear at a glance - what Mizuki had already explained to them.
This is the first time Reimu has seen the ashes of a human. She had seen a lot of corpses. Subconsciously wanting to reach out her hand, she suddenly felt a thrill all over her body, and some particles floating in the air because of her breath made her realize another cruel truth: compared to corpses, this pile of ashes is more illusory and fragile, and a simple act can make them completely ...... "ashes".
"Xiaowei...... It's true...... Not ......"
Marisa's eyes were wide open, but there was not a single tear, and her eyelashes were shaking. Lowering her head and looking at her hands, she wiped her eye sockets twice with the back of her hand, but suddenly found something: "Huh? This...... Why...... Am I so heartless...... Is it? β
Reimu hurriedly closed the lid of the urn. She held the box in her arms, tears silently streaming down her cheeks. Suddenly, she put the box on the ground and picked up the knife that had been used as a tombstone in her left hand: "No...... Xiaowei didn't die ......"
ββ¦β¦ Reimu? You ......"
"Xiaowei, he's not dead...... How could he have died so easily? Just kidding...... "It doesn't seem to hear Marisa's call, Reimu walks slowly forward like the walking dead," "He's not dead...... We've got to get him back. He certainly didn't die...... Sure......! β
"Stand up, Sanae, Marisa, we still have something to do...... We're going to get that guy back, just like he did when he ran away in Sydney! When I find him, I'll be sure to ...... Definitely! Definitely not again this time! Get him, get him back! This negative guy...... Negative guy ......"
The tears couldn't be stopped at all, but the expression on Reimu's face seemed to become stronger, even if what was hidden behind this strength was an infinite sense of emptiness. However, when she walked in front of Sanae, a sentence in the latter's low sobs made her react immediately: "Reimu...... Don't be like this, Mr. Ge he has, has ...... That damn womanββ! β
"Don't talk nonsense!"
With a "snap", a loud slap erupted in Sanae's face.
"Xiaowei, he's not dead...... I'll prove it to you, I'm going to find him out, he's not dead! Suddenly pulling out a Type 98 pistol from the pocket of her skirt, Reimu opened her eyes red, and fired a fierce shot at the ground. The shot made the hearts of the remaining two people almost stop beating for a second: the bullet hit the ground right in front of the urn, "Yes, this gun is proof!" This is his matching gun, and he must have sent it back to me while we were asleep, so Mianyue Yiji is telling a lie! Xiaowei ...... Definitely not dead, he will not die...... He's not going to die...... He definitely didn't die! β
Even Reimu herself knew that the evidence she had in her hand could be easily punctured: it was Marisa who had moved her and Sanae into the hibernation chamber with Ge Yiwei, so she must have known exactly when the pistol was put in. However, for some reason, Marisa didn't speak. Finally, as if she had exhausted all her strength, Reimu's shoulders collapsed, and she continued to walk forward with the steps of the walking dead: "...... Let's go back. Let's go back. β
