Prologue (2) The Pain of Losing a Country

The wails of the weak, the wails of the wounded, the ghosts of the dead, the helpless weeping of the fleeing. On the deck of www.biquge.info refugee ship, the band played a mournful melody............

Then the land was full of old people and old things.

Black clouds crushed the city and burned the homeland, protecting the people and crossing the sea to our army, and the three million federal soldiers defended their homeland with ten thousand deaths.

Transfer, transfer, know the homeland, but you must go. For the continuation of the national bloodline. Hold on, hold on, know that you will lose, but you still hold the steel gun in your hand. Fight, soldiers, until we fall.

These two poems speak of the same war.

In the last century, under the military threat of the Xilu Empire, the Nalan nobles took the initiative to become vassals, cut off dangerous places, and paid huge amounts of coins. Nalan became the Dominion of Xilu, and the central tax paid by Nalan became one of the main sources of revenue for Xilu. The Xilu Empire received great wealth and embarked on the path of foreign expansion. Relying on Nalan's resources and wealth, Xilu launched wars against other neighboring countries again and again, and won again and again.

In the first year of the C century, the Baiyang Democratic Federation, which had occupied almost the entire Baiyang River Plain, finally broke out a decisive battle with the Xilu Empire, which was related to the national fortunes, the Battle of Qiusuyuan. The main forces of the White Ocean Democratic Federation Army were completely defeated. On the way to retreat, the federal army was chased and annihilated by the Xilu Imperial army, and the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the tragic scenes were repeated. After this pursuit, the main corps of the Federation Army ceased to exist, and it was almost impossible to rebuild such a force in a short time. The longsword of the thousand-year-old beauty of the Baiyang Democratic Federation has broken, and in this war, she has fallen into passivity.

After the heavy defeat of the main forces of the Federation, the General Staff of the Xilu Imperial Army began to plan a new decisive battle, and the front-line troops moved to a defensive posture.

The Baiyang Federation Army, which had suffered a great defeat, was eager to regain the initiative in the war, and repeatedly launched attacks, but was defeated again and again, but was lost a lot of territory by the counterattack of the Xilu Imperial Army. The battle line is also getting closer and closer to Caiyun City, the capital of the White Ocean Federation.

After full planning, the Xilu Imperial Army finally launched a decisive battle that was enough to win with one blow. Their final choice was to surprise the capital of the White Ocean Federation---- the Pearl of the White Ocean, Caiyun City. The following year, in the 01st year of the C century, on June 8, Caiyun City, the capital of the Federation, was conquered by a surprise attack launched by Xiao Qi (also known as Xiao Ge), a fierce general of the Xilu Army, and in just one day, Caiyun City, the capital of the Baiyang Democratic Federation, fell. Caiyun City, known as the Pearl of Poplars, became a hell on earth in an instant after its fall, and then completely disappeared into history.

The rapid attack on the federal capital can be described as a wonderful surprise attack, and this operation of the Xilu Imperial Army is simply too fast, it can be described as fast, so that all the central government agencies of the White Ocean Federation and many various military institutions have not had time to escape. These military institutions include all the high-level military institutions of the army of the White Ocean Democratic Federation, the General Staff of the Federal Army, which has planned offensive operations against the Xilu Imperial Army for many times, all the brain institutions except the Federal Army and Navy, and almost all the hematopoietic institutions of the Federal Army--- and all kinds of military academy teachers and cadets. The entire Federal Army High Departments and the officers of the General Staff of the Federal Army, who had not escaped, really had no future, and those cadets who would play a central role in the army in the future also disappeared in this fall. The capital fell in one day, and it was true that no one had time to escape, and almost everyone even thought that the capital would not be captured by the Xilu Imperial Army. But the capital really really fell............ They ended worse than any refugee.

After the fall of the city, the Xilu Imperial Army carried out a brutal massacre of captured federal officers and soldiers and a large number of innocent residents of the city. General Xiao Qi of the Xilu Empire, who led the army to break through the city, actually raised his butcher's knife to the captured officers of the General Staff of the Federal Army. Xiao Qi returned the saber used as a salute knife to the officers who were about to be slaughtered, and General Xiao went into battle with the captured officers. For this reason, Xiao Qi was given the name Xiao Ge by --- Emperor of the Xilu Empire. The commander took the lead, and the officers and soldiers of the Xilu Empire, who were already flowing with the blood of the barbarians, went on a killing spree, and the most beautiful city in the Far East, which was once as prosperous as brocade and soft as jade, and Caiyun City, the capital of the Federation, became a human Shura field. A citizen who escaped from Caiyun City, the capital, by luck, said: Those who did not escape were killed, and there was not a single one left, they were all killed. People thought he was talking nonsense and put him in an insane asylum.

But that's what real history looks like. Xiao Qi's army killed people in the city, every day, and killed people for seven whole days. Kill during the day, kill at night, as long as you see a citizen of the Union, whether you are a soldier or not, kill, whether you resist or not, kill. After killing all the people in Caiyun City, Xiao Qi blew up the house, using all the ammunition and explosives from the captured federal army, and all the people of the Baiyang Federation were killed, and all the houses that had a decent appearance were blown up...... Half a year after the fall of that city, a Federation Army Scout Commando visited Caiyun City. A ruined wall, scattered human bones, overgrown with wild grass, infested with wild beasts. The once beautiful central square of the city was paved with scattered human bones, the once musical fountain pool was filled with dead corpses, and continued to pile up dead corpses, becoming a mountain of corpses, now a pool full of dead bones after the dead rotted into bones, and the once bustling streets lined with buildings are gone, only rubble, and the streets are littered with messy bones......... A terrible scene, unimaginable brutality.........

The Scout Commando took all the film, and the soldiers and civilians of the Federation realized that the poor man in the madhouse was telling the truth, and that the charming city called Caiyun City in the rear of the enemy side of the battle line no longer exists, and there will be no more.

……

The same massacres took place elsewhere, but in some places not everyone was killed. The Silu people may have left some of the ones that did not escape, and used them as slaves or sold them. In these barbaric Silu people, there is no concept of the so-called basic rights of man, nor is there the so-called war law and military morality that can only be found in the civilized world. What they advocate there is the savage conquest of the steppe army, the law of the jungle of the wild world. Killing, plundering, occupying, enslaving, this is the way of governing the Xilu Empire.

Don't try to reason with this kind of invader, that group of out-and-out barbarians of the Flood Era, it is the best reason to take up arms and fight to destroy these bandits.

The barbaric massacre of the Xilu army did not conquer the people here, but provoked more righteous indignation and revolt. The Xilu people invaded civilization with barbarism and slaughtered civilization. The Federalists can only repay barbarism, and barbarism against barbarism. The once civilized and fertile land of the Federation has become a scorched earth, full of battlefields of blood and fire.

After the lightning fall of the capital, there was no federal central government where bureaucracy was prevalent, and the military and civilians in various places fought their own battles, and gradually formed the prototype of a new republican government that was efficient and clean. But the performance of the Federal Army is still unsatisfactory, and even worse. Without a complete and unified command system and officer training system, how can an army perform well? In July C01, the cities that had not yet fallen sent representatives to form the Federal Assembly, but it was not until November of this year that a new and complete military system of the new government was established, but it was limited to consultations, consultations and coordination of military operations, and there was still no unified command. It was only in March C02 that the federal army re-established a unified command system. At that time, on the battlefield, the federal army had already gone to the general trend, the western army was completely defeated, and the cities there would be taken by the Xilu Empire in stages and batches, leaving only the army in the northern coastal areas of the east was still intact. Only in this way can it be regarded as having the remnants of the western army to obey the unified command of the command system of the eastern army.

In fact, from the moment the Xilu Imperial Army attacked Caiyun City and completely destroyed the unified command system of the Federal Army, the destruction of this country was a foregone conclusion.

With defeat after defeat on the battlefield, the overall defeat, defeat to extinction of the war situation is irretrievable. As long as the Xilu army continues to attack, the Federation will fall step by step, and it will fall step by step, until it is destroyed, which is the inevitable outcome of this protectorate war.

The Xilu Imperial Army burned and plundered, and the Bundeswehr Army units, which were already a remnant army and were becoming more and more dilapidated, were defeated again and again. The demise of the Federation is inevitable, but what about the nation? Is it going to destroy the country and the species? You must know what a brutal army the Xilu Imperial Army is! Look at Caiyun City, that bustling and charming city, the former capital of our Federation. After General Xiao Qi of the Western Imperial Army led his troops to succeed in a surprise attack, he killed people for seven days, and everyone in this city was killed.

Seeing that the general trend of national demise has become irreversible, the nation can only hope for the continuation of the nation, including the navy, to protect the people and immigrate to overseas colonies. Protect the people and cross the sea, protect the people and cross the sea. The remnants of the army fought knowing that they would be defeated. In order to win time for the protection of the people's sea crossing, it is necessary to let as many people as possible cross the sea sea. This has become the consensus of all people of insight in the White Ocean Federation. In the first five years of the C century, the remnants of the army and volunteers of the White Ocean Democratic Federation launched a tragic plan ---to protect the people and move their young nationals to overseas colonies as much as possible.

Resisting the barbaric Xilu Army, delaying time, and protecting the people from the sea became the only task of the old Union Army. The Federation Army fought and retreated, retreating to the coastline, and the rear became smaller and smaller, and the number of troops became smaller and smaller.

Transfer, transfer, know the homeland, but you must go. For the continuation of the national bloodline. Hold on, hold on, know that you will lose, but you still hold the steel gun in your hand. Fight, soldiers, until we fall.

The White Ocean Federation Army fought until the last few coastal strongholds on the continent were broken by the Xilu Imperial Army.

On March 3, 06 of the C century, the last coastal stronghold was conquered by the Xilu army. Admiral Kim Tie-han, then commander-in-chief of the Federal Army, fought to the last of his stronghold until the last moment. At 18:38 on March 3, 06 C century, the last soldier of the White Ocean Democratic Federation Army fell, he died in the battle, and all the Union officers and soldiers in this stronghold died in the battle.

Hold on, hold on, know that you will lose, but you still hold the steel gun in your hand. Fight, soldiers, until we fall. The last regimental and above formed unit of the Baiyang Federal Army fulfilled its oath with all the casualties.........

The history of Jeju is written as follows: On March 3, 06 of the C century, the former country of the country, the Baekyang Democratic Federation, was destroyed. My land has fallen, my country has perished, but our people remain. Evil Xilu people, one day the descendants of the White Ocean Federation will return.

In order to commemorate and remember the hatred of the country, March 3 is celebrated every year on the anniversary of the death of the country. The only standing forces of the Jeju Army are the Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, and the Army is not established for the time being.

After the fall of the Baiyang Federation, the northern and western parts of Xilu were fully bordered by China. For a big man like my country, the Xilu Empire has always been in awe, and in this direction Xilu has reached the limit of expansion, and the Xilu Empire has also stopped expanding. In order to show its friendship to our country, and also to obtain our country's advanced military technology and weaponry, the Xilu Empire sent all the areas to be discussed on the border division of the former Baiyang Federation to our country.

When a strong man meets a stronger one, he will immediately show unimaginable deference, which does not need to be taught.

It can be said that Xilu has gained a lot in the previous wars of foreign expansion, which means that the defeated countries of the corresponding countries have lost more. In this process of gain and loss, almost everyone in the defeated country has suffered a lot, with soldiers losing their lives, civilians displaced, and families of the powerful of the country being lost, or dying on the battlefield, committing suicide due to humiliation, or enduring humiliation and exile.

Under the desperate struggle of the Federal Army, when the White Ocean Federation was gradually coming to an end, a large number of Federation people were transferred by ship to many islands belonging to the Outer Sea Federation, and then these islands were transported by relay to the colonies on the overseas continent. For these small islands about 1,000 kilometers away from the mainland, the Xilu Army's navy and air force are limited, and the cake is too small, and the top brass of the Xilu Empire is not interested. Although these poor people, who may not even have enough to eat, may not be interested in the Xilu Empire. Many years later, those who survive will live a peaceful life and forget all that they have experienced. After all, the war only affected them for a few years, and they were able to live the same or even better life as before. For those exiled magnates, their innate prominence and dignity were swept away, and although they were born noble, they could only live in humiliation, and their hearts were naturally full of hatred and resentment. However, their political skills are not weaker than those of their ancestors, adversity has enhanced their abilities, and hatred has inspired their aspirations.

Kim Ho-cheon, who served as the Prime Minister of the Republic of Jeju, Kim Million, Minister of Defense of the Republic of Jeju, Kim Jong-moo, Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of Jeju, and a large number of important members of the government of the Republic of Jeju are the descendants of these exiled nobles. Together with the other Union exiles, they have built a vibrant new nation in a completely new land, an otherwise almost inhospitable land, and anyone in any position should respect them. These individuals will reappear in this novel in their identities at the time.

The thousand-year-old prosperous and wealthy civilization of the Baiyang Democratic Federation perished, and perished in the national war with the Xilu Empire, a thousand-year-old military empire.

The national war, the war of the country, is a duel between the armies of the two countries, the clash of ironclads, the fight of life and death, and the confrontation of the highest level of national strength of the two countries.

The Xilu Army originated from the barbarian heavy cavalry. The heavy cavalry of the past, known as the Jin Ge Iron Horse, has gone through wind and frost, experienced iron bones, with the cavalry offensive spirit of the ancestors, the Xilu army created one military miracle after another in that war, from victory to victory. The savage blood of their ancestors flowed through their veins, bursting with incredible power and bringing terrible disasters to the land. From the use of extremely ferocious combat tactics, to the random killing of the opponent's wounded and prisoners, to the surprise attack on Caiyun City, the capital of the White Ocean Federation, to carry out a terrible massacre of civilians, until finally the widespread use of the Mongols to drive civilians as meat shields, using the opposing civilians, demining, defensive shelling, reconnaissance line fire, and so on and so on almost completely violated the most basic rules of war of the inhumane tactics, the Xilu army seems to have won the victory and plundered the land, but the victory of losing humanity and the country full of bestiality will never have a good ending in the end.

At that time, the descendants of the hoplites on the Baiyanghe Plain also bid farewell to the era of cold weapons, and with the help of the modern industrial revolution and industrialization, they became quasi-modern armed forces that were quite in line with the trend of the times, at least not inferior to the world powers at that time in terms of equipment. However, due to many other reasons, such as the lack of preparation for war after too long of peace, the government's lack of attention to the construction of the army, the rampant bureaucracy in the army and the government, the low administrative efficiency, and the lack of executive power, the war against the Xilu invaders was defeated again and again. In the most critical strategic decisive battle, the Battle of Qiushuiyuan, the main force was defeated by the Xilu army, and was pursued and annihilated by the Xilu army when retreating.

After the capital was conquered, the fate of the White Ocean Federation seemed irreversible. The suicide note of General Kim Tiehan, the last commander of the Federal Army, summarized one of the reasons for the death of the country, as a descendant of hoplites with a glorious history, they have been peaceful for too long and have lost the bestiality of their ancestors. The loss of humanity may be a loss of goodness, but at that time, the citizens of the White Ocean Federation lost almost everything of themselves because of the loss of their animal nature.

The two types of armies were rivals in history, and at that time, although mankind had entered the age of hot weapons, the descendants of the two types of armies fought together again. This time, civilization was defeated by barbarism again, and history seemed to return to the era of cold weapons rampant with barbarians.

The bloody history between these two armies is about to be unfolded.
