The central continent connects the east and west continents, so it is also called the land bridge.

Thousands of years ago, the fanatical crusades tried to sprinkle the light of God all over the Eastern Continent, and the coalition forces from the Eastern Continent tried to enter the Western Continent after thwarting the Crusaders' eastward invasion.

The two sides smashed the land bridge into a red land, and after countless bloodsheds, they finally tacitly agreed to take the land bridge as the demarcation, and the tacit understanding of the mutual non-aggression between the eastern and western forces.

After the establishment of the empire, several countries in order to get rid of the burden of the land bridge garrison, the enclave was sold to the empire, and later the Japanese alliance blatantly dissolved the Eastern Alliance, completely gave up the burden of the land bridge, the empire from that time on the banner of the overlord of the Eastern continent, for the interests of the entire continent, the persecuted alien race in the west moved into the land bridge, and helped it to establish the alien federation.

The Interracial Confederation used the land bridge as its border, recovering all the enclaves of each country except retaining the enclaves of the Chinese Empire, and later renamed the Hundred Ethnic Federation, though most countries were accustomed to calling it the Interracial Federation.

Since the land bridge has become the land of the Hundred Ethnic Federation, and the Chinese Empire, because of its friendship with the Hundred Ethnic Federation, has become the only country with land on the continental bridge.

Of course, 1/4 of the land of the land bridge is still in the hands of the Western forces, but this does not affect the ownership of this land by the Federation of Hundred Ethnic Groups.

Crystal Mine!

Before the magic crystal civilization has not completely come, the magic crystal mine in the land bridge has always been considered the cheapest spare, it is a pity to abandon it tastelessly, and the rich magic crystal ore resources have always been considered the fault of the creator, but after the advent of the magic crystal civilization, the demand for magic crystal has become astronomical, and the magic crystal mine on the land bridge has been eyed by all countries.

It's just that they are all too late - the empire relies on the advantage of the land bridge magic crystal mine, and the strong city has established a magic crystal currency system that passes through the world, and the standard 1 unit of magic crystal ore is equal to 1 imperial gold coin, so that the empire's economy has ushered in a rapid take-off, and the empire and the federation of hundreds of ethnic groups have controlled the world's 4 magic crystal veins, so that all countries can only drool.

The funniest thing is that the magic crystal mine of the entire land bridge is actually close to the eastern continent, and the western forces that occupy 1/4 of the land bridge can't get a little bit of broth from it, which also leads to the fact that on the front line of the land bridge confrontation, the empire and the western forces often go off the rails.

Therefore, except for the outbreak of war in the Empire, the Central Theater has become the only theater in the Empire where the war is constantly extinguished.

……

On September 14, 661 in the imperial calendar, after returning to the army after a month's vacation, he received a mission:

Go to the Central Theater and participate in the formation of the Second and Third Armies of the Black Flag Army.

There is no doubt that the top brass of the empire has finally settled the dispute over the "deduction conclusion" and has begun to face up to the very possibility of a world war.

The First Group Army of the Black Flag Army, which had not yet completed its establishment system, was transferred more than half of the officers and more than half of the soldiers who were on the establishment and went directly to the land bridge, and there were 100,000 recruits who had completed their training and thousands of non-commissioned officers who had been transferred from various theaters.

On 24 September, the mighty troop carrier fleet carrying nearly 110,000 soldiers rushed to the land bridge, and under the escort of the escort fleet, went straight to Jinyun Port in the Far East Province of the land bridge enclave.

On September 29, the fleet arrived at Jinyun Harbor after five days of turbulence, changed to a troop carrier on the Tongtian River at Jinyun Harbor, and along the back of the Tongtian River, which ran through the land bridge and the endless ocean and the vast ocean, and arrived at the final port of the trip, the Tranquility Port in the province of Hezhong, on the night of September 30.

On 2 October, the ministry arrived at its station in Ha Hung Province, the triangular plain west of Langyue City.

……

The temporary establishment of the Second Group Army of the Black Flag Army is four composite brigades, one magicalized brigade, one army aviation brigade, one armored brigade, one artillery brigade, and a number of units directly under the group army; among the four composite brigades, only the first brigade (the No. 3 brigade of the Black Flag Army) is fully staffed, and the remaining three brigades have only 30 percent of the staff.

Unfortunately, Ye Xiao was assigned to the 2nd Brigade of the Second Army (numbered as the 4th Brigade of the Black Flag Army), with the rank of captain as the commander of the 2nd Battalion - he was laughingly called the 222nd Battalion Commander by his immediate boss.

That's right, isn't the commander of the second battalion of the second brigade of the second army of the Black Flag Army the commander of the 222 battalion?

As for his unscrupulous top boss? It was Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Yingqi, who served as Chief of Staff of the Second Brigade and Chief of Staff of Lieutenant Colonel. The brigade commander is Colonel Ye Nanxiao, who was transferred from the Dragon Blade Third Brigade, and one of the deputy brigade commanders is Lieutenant Colonel Liu Wuqi - a winner of the Patriotic Medal and one of the culprits who is rumored to be the commander of the 222 battalion.

As for the commander of the Second Army, it was promoted by Major General Zhang Yuliang, the former commander of the three brigades of the Dragon Blade (upgraded, and the entire three brigades were almost defeated...... The chief of staff of the army was Brigadier General Xu Zeyuan, the former commander of the 101st Regiment of the 302nd Airborne Division.

"2 battalions, assemble here!" After the mighty convoy arrived at the military camp on the Triangle Plain, Ye Xiao took the lead in jumping out of the infantry chariot and roared loudly, at this time, the entire 2nd Brigade was gathered together, and it was a noisy mess, if you were not satisfied with the roar, the subordinates who were not familiar with each other might not be able to find it.

The recruits and non-commissioned officers who got off the various military vehicles looked at the brand-new barracks blankly, and they had a feeling of being overwhelmed - the newly built shelves would inevitably carry this kind of chaos, just like Ye Xiao, after being appointed as the commander of the 222 battalion, the old subordinates did not, they were all divided up by the bastards who struck first, and the current subordinates are a group of raw melons and eggs and strange non-commissioned officers.

"Battalion," Private Zhao Xiaohu, who was carrying the battalion flag, panted and ran over first: "Private Zhao Xiaohu reports to you." ”

"The next time you encounter this situation, first unfurl the camp flag." Ye Xiao looked at the camp flag that was rolled up, and said helplessly.

"Yes." After the rookie private replied loudly, he hurriedly unfurled the battalion flag, and when he heard Ye Xiao shouting in a broken voice, he hurriedly shouted: "2 battalions, here!" ”

There were only seven officers in the entire 2nd Battalion - four of them were staff officers who had been left with great difficulty, the other three were three company commanders, and if there were still officers, there were only five trainee officers with the rank of warrant officer.

As for the non-commissioned officers, there are only 14 in the battalion, and the rest are all rookies who have only walked out of the recruit base this year, rookies!

The first company commander, Captain Sun Han, was a newly promoted captain, but he was born in the airborne troops, and he did not lose his ability to recruit people in the chaos, and he was the first company commander to pull up the No. 49 people in the whole company.

Lieutenant Zhao Lijian, the commander of the second company, and Lieutenant Bai Xiaobing, the commander of the third company, were both newly promoted officers, and they used to serve as deputy platoon commanders - their experience could not be compared with Sun Han, and the two companies dragged on until they were able to assemble the 100 people.

Seeing that it took seven minutes for the 156 people in the battalion to assemble neatly, Ye Xiao, who was looking at the time, was only left with black lines.
