"Da-da!" This is the sound of the Imperial Type 70 heavy machine gun, a heavy machine gun based on the Gatling machine gun that played an unparalleled role in the Battle of Karath.

By the time the Anglo-Indian 17th Division arrived at the outskirts of Kalat, the instructor-trained Afghan Forces nouvelles had already built a large number of concrete fortifications. When Richardson Couch looked at these fortifications with a telescope, he was shocked to think that it was the squadron * team that built the fortifications in front of him, and at the same time admired the efficiency and speed of the Chinese Army (in the eyes of the British, the main opponents of this Anglo-Afghan war were Chinese, so the British army from top to bottom thought that the squadron * accurately said that the army had actually driven into Afghanistan and hidden somewhere to give itself a painful blow), Britain's trench science came entirely from China, and saw the standard trenches on the front position, Even the opponent Richardson had to praise the Chinese Army as one of the best among the world powers.

In fact, he is not completely misunderstood, at least these fortifications are all built by Afghan soldiers and ordinary people in the city, but all the fortifications are built under the guidance of the officers, where to build artillery positions, where to build field bomb shelters, where to lay mines and where to pull barbed wire are all commanded by lieutenant * officers, a large part of the positions outside the city of Karath are spontaneously helped by Afghans in and around the city, and in the face of the nation-state defense war, every Afghan, regardless of nationality, unites to defend their motherland and this land.

On July 21, 1878, a regiment of the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army launched a feint attack on the front, and the rugged terrain and strong firepower on the position did not stop the offensive posture of the 17th Division, and Richardson once again affirmed that the troops his opponent was shooting at a position not far away were Chinese. The feint did not use artillery, the British came with artillery this time, according to the reconnaissance of the special forces, the 17th Division at least one regiment of artillery about a dozen infantry artillery still have, in the artillery positions in Afghanistan The artillery supported by the empire is much more than the British army, but in order to expand the results of the battle, before the British army launched a large-scale attack or the British artillery did not fire, the artillery was forbidden to be used (the role of artillery at this time is to support infantry operations, And finding enemy artillery positions and destroying enemy artillery is the primary goal of the current use of artillery).

Heavy machine guns, barbed wire and mines terrified the Indian soldiers, especially landmines, and no one knew if their next step would be hell. Fortunately, it was a feint, and after losing some people, Richardson retreated. The current losses are not very large, but the price of really capturing these positions is too great, Richardson and the staff officers summed it up, barbed wire and mines, plus those heavy machine guns that spit tongues of fire, to take these positions, it will take at least two divisions plus an artillery brigade, after all, there are still more than tens of thousands of "Chinese Army" on the opposite position. After a feint, the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army, which had retreated 10 miles, stopped and began a new round of rest.

Zhang Guoqing and He Qi, who did not know why, speculated about the intentions of the British army while strengthening the training of the troops at hand. The Afghan Forces nouvelles, trained by officers in a feint, also exposed a number of problems. The overall tactical quality was low, and some soldiers on the position during the British feint shot in advance without instructions and before the British and Indian troops had entered the effective firing range, and the mistakes of a small group of soldiers caused the soldiers on the entire front line to shoot in advance, focusing on the muzzle or the upward facing God; When the British and Indian troops stepped on the mines planted by the Afghan New Army, there was panic on both sides, and the Afghan troops in the position thought that the British artillery had opened fire, and some immediately lay on the ground, and some simply turned around and ran. Nima's, Dio! The enemy stepped on the thunder and what you tm to run, it's none of your business. In fact, there is no way, the Afghan army is basically still using broadswords and spears, and the rifle is best to carry the gun and the front-loading smoothbore gun, and it would be good for the Afghans to use the Imperial Type 62 in a month.

Of course, the retreat of the Anglo-Indian army can be regarded as stabilizing the morale of the army and raising the momentum, and now the only hope of the imperial staff and the officer corps in Afghanistan is that the special forces already near Kandahar can drag down the logistics of the Anglo-Indian army as much as possible, so as to slow down the offensive of the Anglo-Indian army, even if the current Anglo-Indian army does not have many attacks*, but what the Afghan army desperately needs now is time-

Lin Hong is in a very bad mood now, not because of the war in Afghanistan, he still has confidence in the empire's army even if it is only a special soldier, and now he is angry because of one thing reported in the domestic newspaper, yes, it is "the attempted sexual assault of a female student by a middle school principal" (anyway, I have always been very angry, such a scumbag should be shot), since the founding of the empire for more than 40 years, there are very few major crimes, and the current national situation is that as long as you are a sound person, as long as you are diligent enough, you can earn enough money to support yourself and your family, And some petty thieves are not fines, but simply force you to enlist in the border and colonial construction corps or Siberian pioneer regiments, which is a very heavy punishment of exile in the eyes of the common people, if it is really some mad murderer who decides to hang and put to death.

As soon as the so-called "case of sexual assault of a female student by a middle school principal" disclosed by the "Yangtze River Daily" (Shanghai newspaper) was published, it aroused strong protests and extreme dissatisfaction among the public in society, and they all spoke out in the major newspapers and magazines of the empire and even demanded that the Supreme Court of the empire impose capital punishment on the criminal suspects, but the court sentenced the case of sexual assault to the first time in accordance with the current "Chinese Imperial Child Protection Law", and in the end it could only be convicted of persecution of children and corporal punishment of children, and it was only sentenced to 15 years. In fact, compared with similar suspects, the verdict this time has been very close to the opinions of the society, but this time the incident is getting bigger and bigger, or the social morality and social conscience are getting stronger and stronger, and newspapers and magazines around the country have reprinted the content of the posters, which has further aroused the enthusiasm for demonstrations and books. Of course, all walks of life are still relatively rational, and most of the people who go to the streets are enthusiastic middle school students, and the form is not excessive, most of them go to the National Assembly or the local government court to sit in front of the court. However, when the newspapers dug deep and found that the victims of this incident were female middle school students, not only orphans but also orphans of military martyrs, it once again angered the whole society and the common people of the whole empire, especially the army, and on the day of the court trial, Zeng Guoquan, the minister of the army and navy of the empire and the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region (who had been transferred back from southwest Africa), attended the meeting. Of course, the real * is that Lin Wei, the new Duke of Beijing (Duke of California), the Prince of the Empire, expressed his anger after the court pronounced the verdict, smashed his shoe on the head of the criminal, and then asked Congress to amend the current law, and then handed the pleadings to the Xianyang Palace.

Of course, Lin Hong is not angry, but the incident itself, the child is the flower of the motherland and the future of the empire, why! Do you want to do that?! After Lin Hong heard the news, he called Jinyiwei to investigate the matter for the first time, and finally in Jinyiwei where he knew the ins and outs, this female student is now studying in Shanghai Songjiang Middle School is the third year of junior high school, and is about to be admitted to university, and her studies are average (orphans have no relatives in school, of course, it will not be too good to have a more withdrawn study in school, but it is a great thing in itself that she can be admitted to middle school, and now the girls in the empire will not let them study after finishing elementary school), it was the weekend, and her roommates all went home, In this school dormitory, she and the dormitory manager aunt, the principal entered the girls' dormitory all night and wanted to * her, fortunately, she shouted for help and woke up the dormitory manager, and was not succeeded by the dog principal, it is conceivable that if such a dog thing succeeds, this stubborn girl can only die to prove her innocence.

That night, Lin Hong rushed to Shanghai by the emperor's high-speed train as soon as possible, although the law had been pronounced, but the emperor's mouth said that the supremacy of the constitution was stipulated in the constitution, so the Shanghai procuratorate and police department strengthened the further search of evidence, waiting for the emperor to decide.

On August 1, 1878, Lin Hong saw the little girl who had been victimized, and the child who had been pacified couldn't help crying after seeing the emperor come in person, Lin Hong looked at this child, a child who was only a teenager! She was an orphan, and there were many people who came to comfort her during this time, but since that incident, she always felt that the people around her looked at her strangely, and she felt like she had been abandoned. After seeing Lin Hong, it was like seeing the backbone of the heart, and he couldn't help crying anymore.

"Don't cry, don't cry! Be strong, okay? Lin Hong really didn't know what to say now, he couldn't say anything, thinking about the beasts in his previous life who stretched out their hands to the elementary school students and looked at the poor child in front of him, Lin Hong could only hug the child and comfort her.

On August 3, 1878, Lin Hong bypassed the cabinet and the National Assembly and issued a direct decree to the Supreme Court of the Empire. ”

As soon as the decree came out, it spread throughout the empire through newspapers and radio, and the people applauded one after another, and the cabinet and the parliament were suspicious of the emperor's decree, after all, bypassing the cabinet and bypassing the parliament was completely ignoring the existence of both, but the emperor's authority and the turbulent national conditions for thousands of years made the parliament neither angry nor dare to speak. However, the next real trouble is how to execute it under the cane court? The capital punishment of this empire is nothing more than hanging, and the current law enforcement department of the empire under this cane court will not!

Just when the cabinet, the court and the procuratorate were entangled, Jin Yiwei took action to close their siege. Wearing a flying fish suit, Wei Ma Li brought the prisoner to the execution ground at the noon gate, and then neatly executed the cane execution at the noon gate to show the emperor's authority (the process refers to the cane execution process in the movie "Night Banquet"), the process is not to be said, anyway, the onlookers applauded one after another, and they also understood what Tianwei imperial power was.

With the subsequent amendment of a series of child and women's protection laws by Congress, the matter was finally over
