Chapter 13: The Spoilers
It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled world.
In this apocalyptic war that swept the entire land of China, everyone was in the war, and no one could stay out of it.
In the Northeast, under the control of Bright Heaven, all men who could hold guns were forcibly pulled into the army and pushed into the battlefield as cannon fodder. On the battlefield, the soldiers of Huaxia Dragon City and Doomsday Phoenix City will never raise an inch of their guns because they are forced, and the vast majority of them will end up as a cold corpse on the killing field, the difference is only which battlefield they fall on.
In the northwest, under the control of Doomsday Phoenix, everyone is forced to participate in high-intensity labor, and all the factory machines are roaring day and night, producing weapons, ammunition, gasoline, and clothing that are urgently needed on the front line. Working in wartime was no longer voluntary, although Phoenix paid some for it.
In North China, within the control of Huaxia Dragon City, the innocent survivors were first implicated in the war with Phoenix, and were robbed and destroyed by the swarming Phoenix armed forces; Now that it is involved in the war with the Bright Heaven, Dragon City is also wantonly recruiting troops and food.
The big and small forces that are sandwiched between these superpowers cannot stay out of the situation, and these forces are forced by the superpowers to choose sides and get involved in this war as surprise soldiers, as cannon fodder, and as free labor. Isn't that the western suburbs camp of Tao Yong and Yueqin like this?
No one is righteous in this war, whether it is Huaxia Dragon City or Doomsday Phoenix City.
The vast majority of people are forced into this end-time war. However, there are also some people and forces who have taken the initiative to come in, looking for opportunities and reaping benefits from the chaos of war, and have become spoilers of this war.
Some small and medium-sized forces have taken advantage of the fact that several major superpowers have no time to take care of each other's wars, and in the name of one of them, they have frantically carried out mergers and expansion wars, taking the opportunity to gain post-war capital for themselves.
Some businessmen have already seen the business opportunities after the war in advance, betting on one side in advance, or even betting on both sides at the same time, to provide financial and material support for both sides of the war.
Some mercenaries and adventurers do not hesitate to take risks, wandering between the warring parties, selling each other's intelligence to both sides.
But these "spoilers" are petty after all, and it might be more appropriate to call them "speculators".
In this apocalyptic war, the real "spoiler" is actually Murong Chaoyang and his Eastern Dawn City.
I don't know if it's due to luck or the situation of war, Dawning City, as one of the super powers, has been on the brink of war. It was in the midst of this war, but it had not fought a decent frontal war. What makes several other parties even more jealous is that they take advantage of the opportunity to gain more benefits than those who fight for life and death.
When everyone's eyes were focused on the two battlefields in the northeast and southwest, waiting for the war between the four super forces to break out again, Murong Chaoyang, the spoiler, took the lead in igniting the war and affected the change of the situation.
Maybe it was because the war had stopped for too long, or maybe Murong Chaoyang felt that his self-esteem was hurt by not highlighting his position in this war. Without any warning, the Eastern Dawn City was fully mobilized, and the troops were divided into three routes to exhaust 50,000 regular troops and take the initiative to intervene in this big battle.
The 10,000 troops in the middle of the Third Route Army were led by two second-order powerhouses, Du Feng and Du Yu, and drove to the border with Huaxia Longcheng and set up a posture on the defensive line.
In the other two routes, a force of 20,000 people led by Di Sheng, the "Sky Thief", led by three second-order powerhouses, including Murong Bin, Tang Feixue, and "Zidian", bypassed the sphere of influence occupied by Huaxia Longcheng, landed at Lushunkou from the sea, marched into the Liaodong Peninsula, and strongly intervened in the Northeast War.
The last way was led by Murong Chaoyang himself, leading four second-order powerhouses including "Thundering Sky" Feng Zhen, Zhiyun, Qin Zibing, and Qin Zishuang, and the army fought all the way from Nanning to Guiyang. Not only did it occupy a large area along the coast, but it also directly pointed at the southwest core area controlled by Tianjin City.
Murong Chaoyang's eight second-order powerhouses, known as "wind and clouds, thunder and lightning, rain, snow and frost", came out and strongly intervened in the apocalyptic war. The strategic intent of Dawning City is very obvious, that is, to take advantage of the war between several parties to seize territory in the northeast and southwest and expand the sphere of influence.
Reactions to Dawnlight's sudden intervention have been mixed.
Bright Heaven chose an indifferent attitude towards Dawning City's march into the Liaodong Peninsula. They were unable to start a war with Huaxia Dragon City and Dawning City at the same time, and could only watch as the Dawning City army gradually encroached on their sphere of influence.
Bright Heaven actually hopes to exchange space for time, and when Huaxia Dragon City is cleaned up, it will turn around and deal with Dawning City.
Huaxia Dragon City's reaction was very direct. Yang Mingyuan's troops once again set up the border between Longcheng and Dawning City, and advanced another fifty kilometers, only a few dozen kilometers away from the 10,000-strong defense line of Dawning City, and had the posture of eating up the troops of Dawning City in one bite.
This made the brothers Du Feng and Du Yu in Dawning City feel like they were facing a great enemy, and while they were in a hurry to call Murong Chaoyang, they were ready to go to war at any time.
Yang Zhaohui was very angry about Murong Chaoyang's military action, because according to the agreement between him and Chi Hua, the entire Northeast region should be in the pocket of Huaxia Dragon City after this war.
Now that Murong Chaoyang stabbed a knife in it, wanting to snatch a piece of meat from his mouth, he was naturally furious, and even wondered if there was Chi Hua's shadow behind it. Dragon City and Phoenix City are now on the same front completely out of interest, and there is not much trust between the two sides at all.
Yang Mingyuan's troops set up a posture on the border, but they did not make a move in the end.
Yang Zhaohui and Bright Heaven have the same concerns, that is, they are unable to start a war on both sides, and they are worried that they will force the two sides to unite if they are in a hurry. The best way to do this is to settle the war with Bright Heaven as soon as possible, and free up energy to go to war with Dawn again.
Because of Murong Chaoyang's intervention, the pace of this apocalyptic war was accelerated, and several parties wanted to end the war in front of them as soon as possible.
Tianjin City was the most fierce reaction among the several parties, and the Dawning City army was ambushed by the Tianjin City army as soon as it entered the Guizhou territory.
This battle was led by the "Wise Wolf" eldest Sun Wenshi in the "Three Tigers and Four Wolves" of Tianjin City, and the "Winged Tiger" Feng Xing and the "Blood Wolf" Leng Yan, who had never appeared, all appeared on the battlefield, in addition to two second-order powerhouses.
Tianjin City gathered 40,000 troops and affiliated forces, and the "wise wolf" eldest grandson Wenshi designed an ambush to occupy the advantageous position, but the battle situation was extremely tragic.
This was the first major battle won by the Apocalyptic War of the Apocalyptic War, and it also gave the parties in the Apocalypse a real taste of the strength of this army.
Because of the frequent battles with sea beasts, the individual combat power of the Evolvers and soldiers in the Dawning City army was obviously higher than that of the Tianjin City army, and with 20,000 against 40,000 and ambushed, it was still on par with the Tianjin City army.
The super powerhouse of Dawn City overwhelmed Tianjin City, and Murong Chaoyang led his Blue Shark Escort to break through the siege of Tianjin City, and slaughtered all sides in the military formation of Tianjin City.
A second-order powerhouse in Tianjin City was killed in battle, and the "Blood Wolf" was cold and seriously injured, forcing the eldest grandson Wenshi to order the entire army to retreat.
Although Tianjin City took the lead in retreating and losing in this battle, the losses of Dawn City were also not small, and there were six or seven thousand ordinary soldiers killed or wounded.
After this battle, Changsun Wenshi changed his strategy, no longer confronting Dawning City head-on, but using small forces to carry out constant sneak attacks, harassment and ambushes. This made Murong Chaoyang unbearable, and the advance of the Dawning City army began to become difficult.
As for Doomsday Phoenix, Chi Hua didn't care about the military operations in Dawning City at all, because he encountered an unexpectedly bigger "spoiler".
......
In the Phoenix City Conference Hall, Chi Hua, who was slightly tired, looked at the three Americans with professional smiles on the opposite side with suspicious eyes, and fell into deep thought.
The distance of more than 2,000 kilometers from Shuntian Fort to Phoenix City, the black horses were so tired that they were about to strike, and Song Yu was so anxious to call himself back to meet these three inexplicable Americans.
The demands made by these Americans are even more inexplicable, they actually plan to be a mediator between Phoenix City and Tianjin City, so that Phoenix City will give up attacking Tianjin City.
The leader of the three Americans was a man named Jerome. Cook, a black man in his fifties, was a professor of international politics at Stanford University before the end of the world and is now the assistant secretary of state for Asian affairs in the new federal government.
While China was still in the midst of a post-apocalyptic chaos between several parties, the United States had reorganized the Federation after a brief period of chaos, and the new Federation took a pre-apocalyptic name - the Avengers.
Looking at it now, the United States, as the first instigator of this apocalyptic nuclear war, was indeed wronged, and it did not gain anything in this war. On the contrary, because of the simultaneous attack by several nuclear powers, the losses were the heaviest. Several of its economically developed areas were all destroyed by nuclear bombs, and became areas of intense radiation that could not be survived by human beings.
Despite the destruction of the economy, the United States still retains a huge military power. Since the Cold War, Americans have feared a nuclear attack by the former Soviet Union, so they have built a large number of underground bases to prevent nuclear attacks, and even many wealthy Americans have built underground shelters in their homes. As a result, much of America's military power was preserved in the war.
Compared with the Chinese, Americans are more democratic, and the founding of the United States was all sat down and discussed by representatives of the thirteen federations. And in all the dynasties of China, there is not a single dynasty that has not been fought through brutal wars.
Sun Yat-sen once said that every Chinese has dreamed of being an emperor, and China has never fought for freedom, democracy, and equality.
After the end of the world, when China was still annexing through melee, the vast majority of the surviving forces in the United States negotiated and quickly completed the integration of the new federation. And through the election, a new federal president was elected - Yasen. Clark, the former U.S. State Department spokesman who earned great fame in the post-apocalyptic crisis.
"City Lord Chi, what do you think of my proposal?" Jerome interrupted Chi Hua's musings.
Chi Hua smiled slightly, "The proposal is very good, but I don't agree." ”
