The Republic of Calvard has a large population and a vast territory, and is the only great power on the continent of Sisemlia that can compete with the Erebonian Empire. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The two countries have fought many times in history, and the history of hostility can be traced back hundreds of years. At that time, Calvard was not the democratic system it is today, but a feudal monarchy like Erebonia. Calvard is ruled by the Ancient Bloodline family, which is as old as the royal Arnoor family in Erebonia and the royal family of Oselles in Liber.

A hundred years ago, a democratic revolution swept across the country and overthrew the ancient family that reigned over Calvard, while fundamentally changing the country's political system. The hereditary feudal rule of one family and one surname came to an end and was replaced by a republican system based on democratic elections.

Although the form of government changed and the name of the state became the Republic of Calvard, the contradictions between the two states did not ease, but only intensified - because of the conflict between the democratic and feudal systems, and the robbery of the Erebonian Empire during the Revolution.

The world is as dark as a crow, and Calvard has done this kind of thing, and the most excessive time was at the end of "Lion Battle", when Calvard took advantage of the time when Erebonia was in ruins, he sent a large army to attack in two ways, intending to completely defeat the old enemy. Thanks to the unenthroned Dreikels and "The Holy Lady of Salvation" Liana turned the tide in the north and south, the empire was saved from annihilation, but the empire also paid a huge price. A hundred years ago, taking advantage of the civil strife in Calvard, the robbery also implied the meaning of revenge of "returning the other way to the other".

In fact, the two countries have long been a bad debt, and even the authorities of the historical circles cannot figure out which side has taken the advantage more. The only thing that is certain is that in the period of parity, the two sides show signs of each other and compromise with each other; Once one side gets into turmoil and falls into the downwind, the other side will pounce on it and bite down on a piece of meat. (In general, Calvard is a little weaker than Erebonia, and therefore a little closer to Liber.) ）

Now, with the civil war in Erebonia, Calvard is an opportunity to take advantage of the fire. There are three main reasons why we didn't do it right away.

First, there is Calvard's own problems. Located east of Erebonia and Liber, Calvard has been in close contact with the East since ancient times, and is known as the "crossroads of Eastern and Western cultures". The flow of goods, the fusion of cultures, and the intersection of nationalities brought prosperity to Calvard, but also created Calvard's complex background. The more complex the background, the more "voices" there are in the country, and among them there is some discordant "noise" - nationalism.

After so many years of World War II, there is still the voice of "the highest Germanic nation" in Germany, even if it has been suppressed by the government for so many years, it has never been broken. Calvard is the same, and much more serious than in Germany.

The most typical manifestation of nationalism is the exclusion of foreign peoples, which in Calvard is manifested in the exclusion of immigrants from the East. Some of the extremists have even advocated the use of force against all foreign ethnic groups, which has seriously affected the stability of Calvard society.

In recent years, Calvard's economy has declined, nationalism has become more problematic, and the antagonism between Indigenous people and immigrants from the East has intensified, causing great headaches for President Rock Smith.

After Crossbell declared independence and froze the assets of the two suzerains, destroying the combined forces of the two countries, the national question erupted completely, and every city had conflicts between indigenous people and immigrants from the East. Although it did not turn into a civil war like the Empire, it involved a lot of energy, and the impact was so wide, complex, and far-reaching that it took a lot of energy from the government. (Nationalism, unlike civil war, cannot be simply and brutally suppressed, and a bad Calvard will be worse than Erebonia.) ）

Second, the independence of Crossbell. There were only two ways to attack Erebonia from Calvard proper, one of the only two ways to attack the Genda Gate from the Norde Plateau in the north, and the Garelian Fortress from Crossbell in the south. Considering the terrain, supply lines, etc., an invasion from Crossbell is the best route.

However, this line has been blocked by the "god machine".

After paying the price of an entire mecha division, the Kavard military finally realized the horror of the "Divine Machine", and if it attacked it, it might cost ten or more mecha divisions to defeat it - but it was possible.

In other words, the independent Crossbell became a natural barrier to Erebonia, and even if Calvard could break through this barrier, he would not be able to break through the Garelian Tournament and attack Erebonia proper.

Third, there is the question of timing. Erebonia's civil war had only been fought for more than a month, and although the military strength of Sisemlia, which had been reduced, it still retained six to seventy percent of its military strength, and the cost of tearing it out was too high.

These three reasons led Calvard to stand still and resolve internal conflicts as soon as possible, and on the other hand, secretly sent people to infiltrate Erebonia to sow discord and create even greater chaos - one of the strategies was to cooperate with the Noble Alliance and suppress the Third Mecha Division stationed in "Kendamen".

That's right, it was the Republic that found the Noble Alliance first, not the Noble Alliance that found the Republic first, although there was no difference in the result.

By the way, the hard-line Marquis Rogner did not agree to cooperate with the Republic at first, but it was Duke Kane who personally went to the "Black Dragon Pass" to persuade the Marquis of Rogner to put the overall situation first, and was willing to guarantee that the Republic would never make any offensive moves, and the Marquis of Rogner agreed.

In this way, the 3rd Mecha Division, which had the upper hand, suffered a big loss, and the land of Nolde became even more turbulent as a result.

Of course, in the eyes of the republic, the more chaotic Nolde is, the better, and it is in their interest to overthrow the geniuses, no matter how chaotic it is, it will not be able to mess with them.

At the Republic Military Base, which is far away from "Kendamen", the soldiers even privately opened a market, betting on how much losses the Imperial side would have today, and "Kendamen" would hold out for a few days.

No, it can no longer be said privately, it should be said semi-public - the chief of the base of the republic acquiesced in the actions of the soldiers, and even released the latest information every once in a while so that the soldiers could be sure of winning or losing. On the other hand, the general made a request that each participant should not bet more than 100 meters at a time, otherwise he would go into a small dark room to cool down for two days.

Tsk, this general of the republic is also a wonderful person, and he knows the truth that blocking is better than sparse. It's a pity that he is in the Republic, a republic destined to be opposed to the Empire, and in order to prevent the Republic from affecting the situation on the Nord Plateau, he and his subordinates are targeted.

On this day, the weather was sunny and the wind was beautiful, and although the temperature was very low, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the soldiers for training.

Unlike the rival empire, the Republic's mecha divisions are mainly based on high-mobility combat vehicles and high-speed airships, and are good at air-ground integrated joint operations. Anyone who knows a little military knowledge knows that the air force has very high requirements for the weather, and it cannot even take off in bad weather such as wind, snow, thunder and lightning, let alone fight.

In the winter, it was common for the wind and snow to be mixed with snow, and it did not stop for several days, which greatly affected the airboat unit at the base of the Republic, and the amount of regular training was seriously insufficient. (Rong Shao complained about Nolde's scene again, please, it's winter, winter, forget about the southern area like Lunalia Natural Park, Yumir is covered in silver, and Nolde, which is further north than it, is green, why are you kidding me?) It's rare to have such good weather today, so it's natural to practice well.

Early in the morning, the commander-in-chief of the base issued an order for the mobilization of the whole army, and the combat vehicles were out of storage and the empty boats were lifted into the air to make a big news.

Perhaps because of the movement, the Lords stationed in the watch tower were alarmed, and almost thought that the Republic finally couldn't bear to invade the Empire. Fortunately, although the movement of the Republic Army was large, it still maintained restraint and did not cross the border from the southeastern part of the plateau. As noon approached, the Republican side withdrew its troops and returned to the base, and the hearts of the Confederate troops monitoring the tower also relaxed.

After a hard morning, the soldiers' physical energy consumption was very great, and the chief officer of the base instructed the canteen to increase the amount of food to ensure that every soldier could eat well and have sufficient physical strength to devote himself to the afternoon training.

After lunch, it was the last half-month repertoire - the announcement of the war damage in the "Kendamen" section. It is one of the root causes of human beings to base one's happiness on the suffering of others, and if that "other" is the "enemy", the happiness will be even greater. Coupled with the ingredient of "small gambling pleasure", the lunch break every day has become the most anticipated time for the soldiers.

The general walked into the cafeteria under the expectant gaze of the soldiers, opened the black notes in his hand, cleared his throat, and prepared to read out today's "war report".

At this moment, the general felt a tremor under his feet.

The tremor came so suddenly, without warning, that the general was caught off guard, shook violently, and almost fell to the ground.

Not only was he shaking, but the tables and stools in the cafeteria, the cutlery on the tables, and the soldiers on the stools were also shaking.

The shaking did not decrease with the passage of time, but became more and more violent. The stainless steel cutlery slipped and made a clanging sound, and from time to time a soldier who was sitting in an improper position fell to the ground, looking dazed.

"It's an earthquake!" Someone finally reacted.

"All stand up and run to the playground to line up!" The general immediately made a decision and gave the order.

“yessir！” In the face of a sudden natural disaster, although the soldiers were not panicked, they were accustomed to obeying orders, and they left the canteen in an orderly manner and disciplined.

In less than three minutes, the overcrowded canteen became empty.

The moment the last soldier left the cafeteria, the shaking stopped.

As soon as the earthquake stopped, the general immediately dispatched personnel to inspect the damage to the base, and considering the possibility of aftershocks, the inspection work at this stage was concentrated outdoors.

After half an hour of inspection and summarization, it was preliminarily determined that the magnitude of the earthquake was not high, and the main building of the base, which was built on the premise of resisting the shelling of combat vehicles, did not receive much damage. The only thing that could be badly damaged was the asphalt pavement - raised, potholes, torn, and barely a paved road along the entire site.

As a result, the empty boats and chariots parked in the berths and parking spaces became staggered, and some of them were completely overturned if they were unlucky. Thanks to the fact that military equipment has always been solid, this level of impact and overturning will not affect the use, but it is more troublesome to sort out and clean up.

"Why did you get an earthquake? Is... Alas, it was probably impossible to train these days, but fortunately there were no casualties, which is a blessing in misfortune. ”

The general who was happy in his suffering did not realize that this earthquake was not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster! The purpose was not to bring much damage to the base, but to make it impossible for the Eighth Front Division of the Republic to be dispatched.

The initiator of this earthquake was none other than Dawn Schwarzer, who threatened a few hours ago to make the Republic impossible to come.

Question: How does an earthquake be caused by man-made?

Answer: On Earth, you need to put enough pressure on the earth's crust, such as a nuclear explosion at a deep enough point.

There is no need for such trouble in Semliya, where there are seven veins, also known as spiritual veins or leylines, that can interfere with the flow of the seven veins and leak their power to cause earthquakes. More than a year ago, Valut had used the Gospel-amplified Pile to interfere with the Seven Pulses, causing a series of artificial earthquakes in Chase.

This time, Lane used a similar tactic. The difference is that he has neither the Gospel nor the Pile developed by the association to interfere with the Seven Yao Pulses, and he relies on the law of "connection" from another world.

The Seven Yao veins are everywhere, and the Nord Plateau maintains its original style, which has not been developed by modern times, and the power of the Seven Yao buried underground can be imagined. Li En just penetrated the law of "connection" deep underground, and he felt the huge power contained in it, it didn't take much, it only took a little bit to blow anyone to pieces, even the superbly strong.

Of course, this huge power is not something that can be controlled by Lien's "connection" law, but fortunately, he does not need to control it, he only needs to open a gap in the originally stable leyline, let some of the power vent, and cause a local earthquake.

To put it lightly, it was extremely difficult to implement, and it took Lane nearly an hour to open the gap alone, and he was almost exhausted by maintaining the maximum output of the law of "connection" in this hour.

Until the Republic's Eighth Front Division had begun to rebuild after the disaster, Rien was still standing behind the rock wall fifty minutes away from the base, and if it wasn't for the fact that he could still breathe and speak, Sharon, who was accompanied by his bodyguard, almost thought he was dead.

"Success, it's done." Rien said intermittently.

"If you succeed, you are worthy of Young Master Li En, and you can always surprise me." Sharon put away the binoculars and smiled.

"That's good, that's... That's it..."Lane closed his eyelids, his voice getting weaker and weaker.

"Hard work, Young Master Lien, you can rest well, please leave the rest to me."

ps: The celebration is limited to 4000 words, which is interesting enough.

PS2: The traitor is mistaken, not tomorrow but tonight. (To be continued.) )
