Chapter Seventy-Seven: What is the price of the rope of self-hanging?
"Fire! Fire! Fire! β
In the deafening explosion, the smoke and dust obscured the sky and the sun, casting a layer of gray on the earth, just like the mood of the people now. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Faced with the missile washing of the opposing Chinese Federal Army, the garrison of the EU could only fight back with artillery in vain. Even if nothing could be fired, the roar of artillery could still suppress the fear in their hearts, and the mechanical busyness could paralyze their nerves.
Reloading, firing, ...... Reloading, firing, ...... Reloading, firing, ......
There is no need to aim, because it is pointless, and it will not be hit anyway - beyond the maximum effective range of 80 kilometers of artillery, the missiles of the missile units of the Chinese Federation rained down, one by one, accurately knocking out the positions and fortresses of the EU garrison.
If you want to talk about missiles, the EU garrison is not nothing, but first, those liquid-fuel missiles are really difficult to serve, and no commander likes them, so the number of reserves can be described as scarce; Second, the few of them have already been launched!
Gradually, the sound of artillery on the EU front gradually became scarce.
"What a wrong command......"
When the commander of the last artillery position looked up at the missiles that fell from the sky, he couldn't help but laugh miserably.
Facing the missile head that was getting closer and closer, he finally straightened his military uniform, wiped his face, and straightened his waist.
So, in the midst of a great rumble, light and heat embraced him.
"The A-14 front has fallen."
"The A-22, A-23 Fronts ...... Fall"
"A-09 Front Commander Urgently Requests Support ......"
"The A-12, A-13 fronts are being attacked by enemy missiles!"
"A-18, A-19, A20 are being bombed!"
β¦β¦
Ural Military District, wartime command. Admiral Leonard Hartman and his staff were busy picking up bad news from everywhere.
A week has passed since Admiral Hartmann ignored the EU's orders and launched a full-scale counterattack in the name of revenge. It's been a hellish week.
In the first three days, because the Chinese Federal Army was taken by surprise, the European Army gained the upper hand. However, from the fourth day, the Chinese Federal Army, which had completed the build-up of troops, began to teach the EU army how to behave.
Missiles fly, planes fire, artillery fires, tanks charge, infantry follows. The Chinese Federal Army turned over and over these five steps, but it was like a tsunami, unstoppable and irresistible.
First of all, regardless of 3721, a wave of missiles will wash the ground, knock out the enemy's firepower points, and pull out the counterattack capability;
Then there was the bombing of the planes, smashing all the turtle shells;
Then there is the baptism of artillery, which kills the soft flesh in the shell;
In the end, there were bits and pieces of meat left, which were handed over to the follow-up armored forces for sweeping.
Positions on one front after another were changing hands, and the advantage of the EU garrison was becoming more and more precarious.
And while receiving this bad news, Admiral Hartman had to answer an even worse news.
ββ¦β¦ EU Investigation Mission? He frowned, "Hmph, I'm only here now......"
Indeed, they have been disobeying orders and sending troops without authorization for a week, and now they have come to an investigation team.
Hartman didn't bother to pay attention to what kind of political leaning was in and behind it, and waved his hand directly, "Let them stay." β
The secretary didn't have any extra words, turned around and left, and went to convey the order, just like the Buddha gave this order very normally.
A flash of scarlet flashed in the eyes of the departing secretary.
Admiral Leonard Hartman's eyes flashed scarlet.
The eyes of everyone in this wartime headquarters flashed scarlet.
That's ominous color.

"What the hell is Hartmann doing?!"
Sheldon Rothschild wrenched the bridge of his nose bitterly.
He's a little confused!
General Leonard Hartmann is a member of their faction, and one of the main reasons why he was able to become the commander of the Ural Military District was to balance the West Siberian Military District, the Central Siberian Military District, and the East Siberian Military District.
The EU is a country controlled by a consortium, which can be called a consortium in the guise of a state.
However, the consortium is not monolithic, they each have different interests and needs, and therefore are divided into different factions.
In the beginning, the EU consortium was divided by region, and it was also divided by the most basic territorial unit, the "state".
Among them, the most dominant position is, of course, the source, initiator, and leader of the Europa Revolution (ignited by the French Revolution), which is the state of France. France, as the main initiator and builder of the EU, naturally gained the greatest political advantage and transformed it into a corresponding capital advantage.
Among them, the Rhine Confederation integrated by Napoleon unanimously passed a resolution to convene a citizens' assembly in Frankfurt am Main on May 18, 1848, announcing the merger of most of the constituent states of the former Holy Roman Empire represented by Prussia into the German State, which means that the antagonism between the capitalist class forces within the EU has intensified.
Two hundred years have passed, and the chaebol forces of the past have now been transformed into consortium forces, and the entire EU can be roughly divided into two major capital groups: Western European consortiums and Eastern European consortiums (of course, it can be further subdivided).
The current EU is centered on Western European consortia, which in turn are centered on the English Isles (mainly the English State), the French State and the German State.
For a qualified financial capital group, the real economy is also an indispensable and important component. In the system of the real economy, industry is the most important component. The sale of industrial products has also promoted the development of commerce...... This is commerce and industry.
For industry and commerce, there are two hurdles that cannot be bypassed: the origin of raw materials and the sales market.
Thus, the greatest rift within the EU arose: Africa, and Siberia in the Far East.
Both Africa and Siberia have vast and abundant resources. Although Siberia has a bitter cold climate and is sparsely populated, it is inconvenient to exploit resources, resulting in high costs of resource exploitation...... But! Due to the threat of the Chinese Federation, the EU had to go against the nature of capital and spend great efforts to develop Siberia in order to maintain the strategic system of the Eastern Siege Network.
As a result, the EU has two main sources of raw material supply, and Africa and Siberia have competing interests.
Fortunately, Siberia is not suitable for human survival, and population has always been a problem - and the composition of the population is Caucasian, which is also an implicit problem - so that Siberia does not become another important dumping ground for products, otherwise the competition between the two sides may be a little more fierce.
a Western European consortium that is committed to the development of Africa; The Eastern European consortium, on the other hand, is strongly advocating the development of Siberia.
This is the biggest conflict of interests within the EU, between Africa and Siberia, between Western European consortiums and Eastern European consortiums.
This war launched by the Chinese Federation is indeed a crisis for the EU. But when it comes to the specifics, it is different: for the Eastern European consortium, it is a big crisis; But for Western European conglomerates, there are both dangers and opportunities.
For Eastern European conglomerates, Siberia is their lifeblood. If they lose Siberia as a source of raw materials, they will lose the capital to confront Western European conglomerates, and they will face only annexation.
But for the Western European consortium, if they can reach some agreement with the Chinese Federation, then once Siberia is lost, it means that their Western European consortium can completely suppress the Eastern European consortium and dominate the EU!
Of course, they also know the importance of the strategy of the Eastern Encirclement Network -- but, you see, the Chinese Federation is too powerful! They have peace bombs! So for the sake of peace, let's bear the humiliation! Moreover, we can also turn harm into profit, and take the opportunity to rectify the domestic financial and economic order, so as to provide a better, more efficient, safer and more stable market environment for the citizens of the whole country!
Within the EU, in the face of this war, the Eastern European consortium is the most thorough main faction, while the Western European consortium is naturally the main peace faction, and the two sides quarrel every day in the EU Central Parliament, and leather shoes and rotten eggs fly together.
Now, however, General Leonard Hartmann, the spokesman of the Western European consortium in the army, who nominated him to be promoted to the post of commander of the Ural Military District, has unilaterally insisted on launching a counteroffensive against the Chinese Federal Army...... It's not scientific!
What the hell is going on? What went wrong?
I can't figure it out, Sheldon Rothschild can't figure it out, and neither can the rest of the Western European consortium.
Inexplicably, they felt a kind of fear: they thought that they were under their control, under their control. It turned out only today that it seemed to be just a delusion......
Even EU seems to have become strange in their eyes.
At this time, Louis Bonaparte's old fellow must have been reading a joke, right?
Suddenly, Sheldon thought.
"Dididi!" The emergency line suddenly chirped, interrupting Sheldon's divergent thinking, causing him to sobb in displeasure.
He reached out and picked up the earpiece and asked, "What's wrong?" What's the emergency again? β
Listening to the report on the other side, Sheldon Rothschild's eyes narrowed at first, and then suddenly widened his eyes.
"What?!"
He stared at a pair of eyes, his mouth slightly open.
Although, he pressed a button, and immediately a virtual light screen lit up on his desk, revealing a huge figure standing up to the sky.
ββ¦β¦ What is it? β
Looking at the huge figure that was more than eighty meters tall, Sheldon let out a weak **.
