42. Heavy past
Regarding the Battle of the British Fall 10 years ago, An Tong only knew that there was such a history through textbooks, but it was a simple brushstroke, and there was little detailed information about this battle on the Internet later, so he knew very little about this matter, only knowing that this battle directly promoted the birth of the world coalition government.

So when he heard Ji Chao mention it again at this moment, he also temporarily put down his thinking and became an audience with great interest.
"The deep fog first appeared 12 years ago, and although humanity was attacked at the beginning, most countries did not fully recognize the great threat of the deep fog, and many people even called for peaceful coexistence with them, and even opened their borders to accept migrants..."
"That's how Britain thought at that time, they had a world-class naval force at that time, so everyone from the queen and the prime minister, down to the general public, thought that the deep fog would not pose much of a threat to them, and when the deep fog came to the Atlantic and even began to surround them, some people even went to meet them..."
"Stupidity, and collective stupidity." Antong concluded that this kind of thing had actually happened and was happening in his world, and if Europastan continued to develop like this, Britain would soon be ruled by the caliphate.
"Yes, you're right, this is collective stupidity, not only in Britain, but basically in the whole world at that time, but countries like China that called for the immediate annihilation of the deep fog became the object of criticism by international public opinion... I have to admit that this country has a keen insight beyond others, whether it is in this world or in the world on your side. Ji Chao said affirmatively.
"What happened next is also recorded in the book, in 2020, the deep fog completed their global layout almost unhindered, began to show its fangs, the British bore the brunt, the first to fall, their proud Royal Navy only held out in the face of the deep fog for a total of 72 hours... The entire Atlantic Ocean became the hardest hit area. ”
"On the contrary, on the Pacific side, because China and the United States, which suddenly realized later, had prepared countermeasures in advance, the losses were not so heavy, and although mankind was losing and retreating, it relied on the timely advent of the ship, thus forming a defense line from the Japanese island to Southeast Asia and then to Australia, barely blocking the deep fog of the Pacific Ocean in the sea."
"But the British were not so lucky, they fell so quickly, the whole island was surrounded by a deep mist, and the rich energy began to erode the land there, and from a distance, not only the land, but also the whole sky was dyed black, and standing on the seashore of Calais, you could hear the screams of the survivors on the other side, twenty-four hours, without stopping... It's a real hell there. ”
"I had just become an engineer and was serving in Calais... For a long time, it was a nightmare that I couldn't get rid of. Ji Chao held his forehead in some pain, and that painful memory made him, who had always been shrewd, look a little haggard.
"I'm sorry to remind you of this," Antong said with relief.
"It's okay, just let me finish." Ji Chao rubbed his brow lightly and continued: "Six months after the fall of the British, the human race planned a rescue operation and formed a group of ship mothers, intending to open a safe passage from Dover to Calais..."
"You also know that at that time, there was no Admiral, and the ship girl who was polluted by Devouring Energy could only rely on humans to purify it with her flesh... Countless brave warriors stood on the shore, forced to hug the ship's mother, and then died of organ failure a few hours later, their bodies could not even be cremated, but could only be dragged into a string and dragged to the deep sea by the ship's mother..."
"Can you imagine that kind of scene? The shipwives dragged strings of corpses along the coast, pulling long ravines on the beach that led to hell... This is a scene that would not have happened in the most brutal concentration camps... So you know why the ship's mother is still not accepted today, right? Many people still call them dead crows..."
It wasn't until today that An Tong understood that there was such a heavy historical reason behind the current situation of the ship's mother... But whose fault is this? Ship mother? They are simply faithful to the orders of the human race; So is it human? They're just trying to maintain what little space they have...
Shouldn't it be the deep fog that should bear this anger? An Tong wanted to ask Ji Chao, but when the words came to his lips, he forcibly swallowed them back, and asked a different question: "So what about the end?" Was the rescue successful? ”
"Success?" Ji Chao sneered twice and asked rhetorically, "Do you think it is possible to succeed?" After paying the price of 6,000 lives and I don't know how many, no one can even see the beach of Dover... Humanity has learned only one lesson after paying a terrible price - Britain has been made their stronghold by the deep fog, and if they are not fully defended, it is only a matter of time before Europe falls..."
"After that, you should also know, the deep fog is not an enemy that can be fought by a single country, the world coalition government was urgently established, and the first decision after its establishment was to urgently provide reinforcements to the English Channel, which saved the European continent in front of it. To this day, the Strait of Calais remains the most tragic of all fronts, and it is known as the Gate of Hell..."
Hearing this, An Tong couldn't help but shudder, as if he saw countless deep fogs coming across the sea, trying to tear him to pieces...
Ji Chao, who noticed the change in his expression, regained his mentality, changed his words, left the painful topic, and said, "Don't worry, you won't be sent to that kind of place... It is a place where all eyes are watching, and there is no room for filth. ”
When Ji Chao said this, An Tong knew that he should have vaguely guessed something in his heart, for a smart person, some questions are not difficult to think through, but he is also a smart person, in order to maintain this friendship, Ji Chao did not ask anything.
"So what kind of admiral is guarding such a place..."An Tong couldn't help but sigh.
"Guarding there is General Safras, the head of the BigSeven, nicknamed the Hammer of the Firefiend." Ji Chao reported a name that made people feel awe.
"He is the only person to have served as a theater commander in the capacity of Admiral. He was also one of the first admirals to arrive in this world, and his first arrival was in the Calais theater of operations, and yes, although the strait of Calais was small, it was an independent theater of operations to show its importance. ”
"A newcomer? Newcomers in that kind of place? "An Tong couldn't believe his ears, he deserved to stumble as a newcomer in Africa, which is known as the novice zone, and if he went to the gates of hell... It was a bit more than he could have imagined.
"Yes, that's why he's known as the Firedemon's Hammer, an artifact of hell in our world mythology. He is the most legendary of the bigsevens, and the only one to have been at the top of the list for 9 years, leading his army of fire demons to ensure peace of mind on the continent for 9 years. Ji Chao finally introduced.
"Then his contribution should have been retired a long time ago, right? But he has always chosen to insist..."An Tong couldn't help but respect this demon general in his heart, the reason why he insisted was probably just to protect the hundreds of millions of lives behind him, right? Even if he is a time-traveler, even if these lives have nothing to do with his original world, he still chooses to protect them.
"That's a great man." An Tong finally sighed with emotion, he was a little skeptical that if he was himself, could he hold on to that place for so long?
"Okay, I've told you so much, in fact, I also have some selfish intentions hidden in it, but I'm not afraid to tell you, you can guess anyway." Ji Chao finally said, "Back to your original question, is it possible that the Admiral will be sent to death?" All I can say is that if there is another crisis like the fall of England, this situation will probably arise..."
"Although the odds are very low, I still hope that when this situation arises, you can stand up and protect us, even if you are not from this world, even if my request is a bit selfish, but I still hope so... Because I see the shadow of certain people in you, I think you will be like them in the future. Ji Chao said very sincerely.
"I'm sorry, but I can't assure you about this issue at this time." An Tong also confessed without any concealment, "To be honest, I am not mentally prepared for this. ”
"It's okay." Ji Chao patted him on the shoulder, "I believe you will have to make a choice one day." ”
"I don't expect it to be good in the near future." An Tong said a little half-jokingly.
"Haha, I don't think that's enough, the current war situation is still relatively stable, you have at least many years to think about this."
After leaving Ji Chao's place, the sky had already begun to darken, and An Tong looked at the falling sunset and gave up his plan to go to Major Lille again. To be honest, this made him a little embarrassed, a favor should only be used once, and he had already used it last time to save Su Wanwan.
"Let's hope nothing really happens." Antong prayed in a low voice, chewing on the previous conversation in his heart, and got on the over-the-top train on the way back.
At the same time, a crisis much lower than the fall of Britain was quietly brewing in Meng Shao's office.
"You're... You want me to do this? Meng Shao was full of anger, pointed to the light curtain in front of him and asked Nila, it was the previous post on the newcomer ranking.
"Some small loss of profit is not enough for you to bear, right?" Nila replied coldly: "Think about the family's praise in the future, and then think about the possible punishment, which one do you choose?" ”
Meng Shao's face was distorted, and after some struggle in his heart, he finally nodded with difficulty.
What he didn't know was that from this moment on, he was completely under Nila's control.
