Chapter 117: The Beginning of the War Calendar
"But when this outpost was discovered by the natives of the northern continent, problems arose. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Atlas's tone took a turn.
"They just fought?" Zhou Xin asked.
The little girl nodded, "Almost, as mentioned before, there are still seven countries in the Northern Continent at this time, and there is constant friction between these seven countries. When they first saw the outpost, the local natives thought it had been invaded by other countries on the mainland, and attacked the outpost without much confirmation. However, because the southern continent was in a period of continuous warfare at that time, their weapon level was much higher than that of the northern continent, and those who found the outpost hurriedly launched an attack for the sake of greed. The first group of more than 400 people who participated in the attack on the outpost was almost completely wiped out, and less than 100 escaped. ”
"Having suffered such a serious loss, those who discovered the outpost could no longer hide it and could only report their findings to the government. Upon hearing this, the national government sent an army near the outpost to eliminate those inside the outpost. ”
"Although the weapons on the southern continent are better than those on the northern continent, after all, the number of people is relatively small, and the regular army is not comparable to those ordinary people. So it didn't take long for them to storm the outpost, killing many of the people inside, and in the nick of time, the remaining southern continentals fled back to their country in a hurry on the only transport plane left in the outpost. ”
However, because of the resources on this continent, the country that established the outpost did not give up, and then he built similar outposts in different locations on the northern continent. However, as short as a month or as long as half a year, these three outposts were also destroyed by the hands of the northern continenters. In desperation, the country had to temporarily abandon the idea of building an outpost. ”
"However, the country did not give up, but they could not focus all their efforts on building outposts because they had to deal with attacks from other countries around them. In desperation, the country had no choice but to inform several allies with better relations of the discovery of a richer new continent, and wanted to let the allies go to develop the northern continent together. ”
After hearing the news, not all allies believed the country's claims, and only three countries expressed their hearts. But this was barely enough, and after concentrating all the remaining forces of the four countries, they once again set foot on the land of the northern continent. ”
"However, although those four countries have transported a large amount of supplies to the northern continent, they are still alone, and although those four countries are allies, they have their own ideas. Therefore, after holding out on the northern continent for more than a year, this joint outpost could only reluctantly accept the fate of defeat. ”
"Although the four countries did a good job of concealing it, there is no way to hide it from everyone on such a large scale of material delivery. After discovering the actions of those four countries, many countries followed the vine and found traces of the northern continent. After discovering the richness of the Northern Continent, those countries that found the Northern Continent were immediately ecstatic, and some even immediately stopped their ongoing wars of aggression and began to find ways to establish outposts on the Northern Continent. Even those who did not stop the war began to focus their attention on the northern continent. ”
"Over the next decade or so, a number of countries established outposts at various locations on the northern continent. However, due to the lack of perfect organization and incomplete information, most of the outposts were destroyed by the locals not long after they were established, and the few outposts that lasted longer were inevitably swept away by the army. ”
"Due to the frequent sighting of unknown outposts on the edge of the continent, and the fact that people found in the outposts are completely different from their own, the people of the northern continent have also begun to become aware of the existence of other people on this planet. However, at this time, the northern continent had not yet invented airplanes, and the quality of the ships was not enough to sustain long-distance voyages across nearly half a planet, so they could only passively accept the invasions from the southern continent from time to time. However, such frequent invasions have also aroused the alarm of all the countries on the northern continent, and these countries have focused their attention on these outposts, and even the friction between them has decreased a lot. ”
"More than ten years have passed, and the countries on the southern continent have never given up the idea of invading the northern continent, and the outposts built on the northern continent are as difficult to completely remove as the weeds in spring. In the battle between the northern and southern continents, the northern continent side with a relatively low level of technology learned a lot of technology from the southern continent from the trophies obtained in the battle, and even built their own planes, piloted the plane, and they also found the location of the southern continent, but they did not have enough ability to establish outposts in the southern continent, so they could only return to the northern continent after some simple investigations on the southern continent. ”
At the same time, the southern continent is also in the midst of fierce changes at this moment. After so many years of exploring the Northern Continent, all the countries realized that it was difficult for them to successfully invade the Northern Continent by themselves or the organizations of a few countries. Succeeding in this will require bringing together most of the countries of the southern continent. However, after hundreds of years of fighting, many countries have formed an irreconcilable hatred, and it is almost more difficult to unite these countries than to ascend to the sky. It wasn't long before the leaders of the three most powerful countries on the southern continent realized this. After much deliberation, the leaders of the three countries put aside their past suspicions and made secret contacts under immeasurable benefits, and finally reached a secret agreement on a small boat by the sea that affected the entire continent. ”
"The main thrust of the agreement, known as the 'High Seas Agreement,' is that the three most powerful countries on the southern continent have chosen to unite in order to be able to successfully reach the northern continent in the future, and this alliance is not the previous alliance to defend against other enemies. At the beginning of the signing of the agreement, the leaders of the three countries vowed on board that they would never betray, and then the three countries would share resources, economy, and science and technology in order to achieve the goal of completely forming a whole and developing together. Even at first, the leaders of the three countries wanted to re-integrate their respective armies, but since the agreement was signed, a large number of troops that could be directly engaged in the battle were needed, and if they were to be integrated, it would be a waste of time, so they temporarily abandoned this idea and changed to the way in which the leaders of the three countries commanded their armies separately and attacked in coordination. Atlas's next words surprised everyone, "This alliance after the signing of the agreement can be regarded as the predecessor of the current Ewen Empire. ”
However, although she was surprised, no one disturbed the little girl to continue, "However, joining forces is only the first step, and there are more important things to be said later in the agreement. That is, after completing the preliminary integration of the various contents between the three countries, it is necessary to concentrate all the forces that can be united on the southern continent as quickly as possible. In short, the purpose of this confederation is to unify the southern continent first. ”
"So, after the agreement was signed, at a time when other countries were still desperately trying to transport resources to the northern continent and wanted to forcibly build outposts. The three countries secretly transferred all their resources back and began preparations for the war. Just three months later, the three countries simultaneously launched aggression against their neighbors. Since the existence of the northern continent is now almost an open secret on the southern continent, all countries have turned their attention to the northern continent, and there are far fewer wars between them. Only a few feuds were still fighting, but the battle between them was merely cosmetic at this point. The other countries were caught off guard by the war that these three countries launched at the same time, and in a short period of time, these three countries captured more than half of the territory of the southern continent. ”
"Because of the planned attack, the targets chosen by the three countries were those who had sufficient strength to resist before. After gnawing away these hard bones, all that remains are a few small countries. There was little resistance, and in a little more than a year, the southern continent was completely unified by the three countries. ”
"However, while it is relatively easy to occupy, it is very difficult to govern occupied territories that are several times larger than their original territory, and the armies that maintain themselves in the occupied areas are still attacked from time to time. It's not just attacking the military, but also people who belong to different countries and still have hatred for each other. In desperation, the heads of the three countries, after consultation, chose to send all their troops, forcibly disperse all the people in the occupied areas, and then redistribute the residential areas. Of course, this practice also caused many people to resist, but after killing many of the rebels, the people in the occupied area had to choose to submit. ”
At the same time, in order to forcibly end the hatred between these people from different countries, the three countries gathered all the minors separately and carried out brainwashing education, and at the same time destroyed all the materials related to history, so that all future generations could not understand the hatred between their parents. Of course, this is a huge project, and it is not something that can be completed in a short period of time. But, Brother Captain, as you can see, up to now, the original ideas of the three leaders have indeed succeeded. ”
"And the three countries that were before developed into the strange form of government that the Ewen Empire has today?" Zhou Xin said thoughtfully, and then he motioned for Atlas to continue.
"After the unification of the entire continent, it took almost a generation for those three countries to complete the basic integration. Oh, at this time they can already be called the Eun Empire, because during this time, the previous agreement between the three countries was also fulfilled, and the complete union was completed. ”
"Once the integration was complete, the Ewen Empire began preparations to invade the northern continent. This time it was not the same petty fight as before, for more than thirty years, they had prepared an extremely large ocean-going fleet. Not only is the fleet huge, but the number of personnel is also very large, with a total of more than 50,000 people. This time, the Eun Empire's goal was not just to build an outpost, but to build a small city on the northern continent. Then use this small city as a bridgehead and slowly occupy the northern continent. ”
"On the other side of the northern continent, at the beginning of the war of the three southern countries to unify the continent, they found that all the people in the outposts had disappeared. At first, the countries on the northern continent were still a little curious, and then sent planes to reconnoiter the southern continent, and after discovering that the entire continent seemed to be completely mired in civil war, the seven countries relaxed their vigilance against the southern continent. After all the outposts were dismantled, life on the northern continent was restored, and there was still friction between the seven countries from time to time, but the difference was that a lot of technology learned from the southern continent appeared in the local battles. ”
"On an unconventional morning, the fleet from the Eun Empire set foot on the northern continent once again after more than thirty years. As fast as they could, they began to build outposts at the landing site. Then the outpost was used as a base and the construction of the city began. ”
"It seems that the landed country was really careless about the coastline, and it wasn't until the seventh day of the landing of the Ewen Empire that the fishermen discovered the outpost that had been built for two days. After receiving the report, the country still sent a force of several hundred men to drive the invaders away, as it had done thirty years ago. However, this time it was different, in the face of tens of thousands of troops from the Eun Empire, this team of only a few hundred people was obviously a dish delivered to the door. With no casualties at all, the Ewen Empire completely annihilated that force, thus kicking off the first year of the war. ”
"War calendar?" Hearing Atlas say this word that had not been mentioned in his ears for a long time, the expression on Zhou Xin's face changed slightly.
The little girl nodded, "That's right, the information clearly states that this is the first day of the war calendar they have used so far. Moreover, the results of the reversal also indicate that the first year of the war calendar was around that period of history. ”
"Since the time is right, it's no problem." Zhou Xin nodded clearly, "Then what happened next, what happened ......?" ”
