Chapter 119: Resistance, Counterattack
"But what I didn't expect was that this time the union of the six countries eventually became the predecessor of the Republic of Kazran. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Hearing this, Zhou Xin and the others frowned slightly, but their expressions quickly returned to normal, and Atlas did not stop his introduction, "After deciding to unite together, the six countries will continue to discuss how to face the current situation." In a very short time they came up with the result, which was the same as the war that had taken place in history. If the aggressor continues to attack, then all the people and materials in their offensive route will be withdrawn, and the wall will be cleared, and space will be exchanged for time to counterattack. ”
"At the same time, not only are the other six nations discussing how to deal with the Ewen Empire, but even the people in the occupied territories are also resisting. They secretly sabotaged the warehouses of the Eun army and the factories that had just been built, and even some of them had the audacity to attack some of the lone patrols of the Ewen Empire. Since this had not been encountered in previous battles, the Ewen army did suffer considerable losses at first. However, when they reacted, they began to carry out a brutal crackdown on the rebels, which was indeed effective, and after eliminating a large number of rebels, they were forced to hide, and the number of attacks on the patrols was significantly reduced. Although it is said that it is occasionally attacked, it is difficult to cause casualties due to the good equipment protection of the Ewen Empire. The destruction of the facilities caused them a little trouble, but it caused a larger sweep by the Ewen Empire, and the system of joint sittings was also introduced in the occupied area, and for a while, the entire occupied area was bleeding. ”
"After killing most of the people who had the will to resist, the remaining ones finally began to submit to the Ewen rule. After this period of slaughter, the population of the occupied territories had been reduced by nearly half, but the Ewen did not care about this, as there were enough of the remaining ones. During the period of clean-up, more and more Ewen people came to this continent, and this time it was not only the army that came, but also many civilians began to set foot on the land of the northern continent. At the same time, the army slowly began to withdraw from various supply factories and handed them over to the civilians who came later. And the army itself is already not satisfied with the results it has achieved so far, and is beginning to prepare for the next attack. ”
"After nearly three months of entanglement with the rebels in the occupied area, and then another three months of repairing on his own, there are more than half a million Ewen people on the northern continent. It was at this time that the Ewen Empire finally launched a second war of aggression. ”
"However, the countries adjacent to the occupied territories have long been prepared. After the Ewen army determined the direction of the main attack, all civilians in the direction of their advance were withdrawn. As they retreated, all they could see was the destruction of various facilities, and all they could see along the way, apart from occupying large swaths of territory, was the ruins of the fires. However, in fact, this approach is exactly in the hands of the Eun Empire, because for them, the territory containing rich resources is more important. It doesn't matter if the people above are or not, because they are more willing to mobilize a large number of people from the territory to develop the occupied areas. ”
"After capturing a large amount of territory, the Eun Empire finally halted its expansion and began to absorb the vast area it had occupied. During this time, more than a million Ewen people have come to this continent, and everyone can't wait to join in the development of the occupied territory as soon as they arrive. Factories under construction can be found throughout the occupied territory, as well as busy Ewen and desperately oppressed captives. ”
"Over the next decade, the Ewen Empire seems to have really settled down and is developing its territory well. The army on the border had little activity other than patrolling, but the remaining six countries began to organize several half-truths during this time. In their minds, it would be best if they could reclaim the occupied territory, and even if they couldn't, they would be able to gain some experience in fighting those strangers. Driven by this kind of thinking, it is naturally difficult to obtain any reliable results, not to mention that the weapons and equipment of the aggressors are much better than their own. The defending Eun army easily repelled the attack of the Six-Nation Combined Army, but this kind of large-scale war, no matter how well-armed and equipped, will inevitably have some casualties. In this case, there will always be some weapons and equipment left out on the battlefield, which also gives the relatively backward technology of the six countries a chance to develop, spend a lot of time on the research of the items found in the battlefield, and the weapons and equipment of the six countries also began to slowly catch up. ”
"After completing the development of the occupied territories, the Ewen Empire finally launched another war of aggression after thirteen years. However, after more than ten years of hurrying and catching up, at this time, the weapon level of the six countries has begun to slowly catch up, although it is still not comparable to the weapons and equipment of the Ewen Empire, but it has barely had the strength to resist. On the other hand, on the side of the Ewen Empire, because the previous battle went so smoothly, they did not care about the development of weapons and equipment, and during this time, their attention was almost all focused on the development of the occupied area, and they did not pay much attention to the upgrading of weapons. ”
Therefore, in the ensuing war of aggression, although the Ewen Empire was still in a state of victory, their advance speed was much slower than that of more than ten years, and even began to suffer more serious casualties. Seeing this situation, the military top brass mistakenly thought that it was because the army had not experienced war for many years and had slackened. They were very dissatisfied with this, but fortunately there were no other accidents except for slightly more serious casualties, so the war of aggression continued stumbling on. ”
"Eventually, after occupying nearly a quarter of the territory of the Northern Continent, the Ewen Empire once again halted itself. And at this time, the remaining six countries on the northern continent seemed to be really aware of the danger of extinction, and the heads of the six countries gathered together again. ”
"In the face of such a severe crisis, after four days and five nights of almost sleepless discussions, the heads of state of the six countries finally decided to abandon the previous method of separate alliances and form a united state. The leadership of this country is held by the heads of the six countries in turn, but this leadership is only symbolic, and specific matters are decided by the parliament composed of the leaders of the six countries. Speaking of this, Atlas couldn't help but nodded, "That's right, the name of this united country is called the Republic of Kazran." And the word Kazlan means in the language of the northern continent, which is to resist or fight. ”
"After the official establishment of the Republic of Kazran, they also began to integrate the resources of the original six countries, which is different from the Eun Empire, this time the six countries are voluntarily united, so in just five years, this integration has been preliminarily completed. After the completion of the integration, I don't know how much faster the processing speed of various affairs is compared to the previous Six Nations. In addition, the integrated Republic of Kazran has brought together all the military research and development departments that previously belonged to the six countries, which also makes their weapons improve much faster. However, even so, it is not easy to keep up with the pace of the Ewen Empire in terms of technology. ”
"In the decades that followed, the Empire of Eun, which was slightly more powerful, continued to slowly expand its territory in the northern continent. Despite its stubborn resistance, the Republic of Kazran lost nearly half of its continent. However, as the development of the Republic of Kazran began to slowly catch up, the pace of expansion of the Eun Empire began to become more and more difficult. Finally, when the first city of the Eun Empire on the northern continent, the one that landed on the seashore had just passed its hundred years, the invincible Eun army experienced its first defeat. ”
"Although it was only a defeat in an inconsequential skirmish, it was undoubtedly a huge blow to the self-confidence of the Ewen army, and it was also a great encouragement to the Kazlan side. After analyzing the reasons for the defeat of this battle in detail, the military top brass of Ewen was surprised to find that the huge advantage in weapons and equipment that they had imagined in their hearts seemed to be long gone. Of course, it's not that their weapons and equipment have fallen behind the other party, but the power of the opponent's weapons has caught up, and the Kazlan weapon, which was originally difficult to damage the armor, can now easily penetrate its own armor. ”
"After realizing that equipment no longer has the advantages it once had, the Ewen Empire has finally refocused its attention on weapons research and development. However, at this time, it seems that they have woken up a little late, and the Republic of Kazran, which has caught up in technology, will not let the opponent have a chance to open the gap again, and at this moment, the technological development of the Ewen Empire seems to have reached a bottleneck. Therefore, although the focus has been shifted back to weapon research and development, the Ewen side has not achieved the expected results, and the scientific and technological level of the two sides is still constantly approaching. ”
"After the first defeat, the expansion of the Ewen Empire finally came to a halt. Then, the two sides began a long tug-of-war, and although the Ewen Empire still won more and lost more in the following battles, it did not advance an inch in the territory at all. Because the Empire's slight advantage in weaponry was compensated for by the Kazran side's nearly three times the number of troops, these soldiers belonging to the Kazran army were firmly on the dividing line between the two sides, and once the Eun army crossed this line, they would be attacked by the Kazran side with extreme ferocity until the opponent retreated to the demarcation line. ”
"Compared to the huge population of the Northern Continent, the Eun people who have migrated to the Northern Continent are a bit small after all, so the loss of any one population is huge for Eun. After losing a large number of troops in the stalemate, the Eun army could only reluctantly shrink the defensive line, but fortunately, the Ewen Empire's development of the occupied area has not yet reached such a depth, so although it has given up a large area of the occupied area, the development of the Ewen Empire here has not been affected much. ”
However, after hearing the news of the loss of the Eun Empire in the war, the rebels, who had long been dormant in the occupied area, revived, this time they acted more cautiously and knew what they should do. Instead of clashing with the patrols in the occupied territory, the rebels now focus their attacks on production facilities, which undoubtedly makes it even worse for Eun, who has lost on the frontal battlefield. They had no choice but to withdraw part of their front-line troops to the occupied areas to maintain order, but as a result, the front-line troops were forced to continue to retreat. ”
"In just a few months, the Ewen Empire has given up all the results of the previous ten years of war, and the area occupied is less than half of what it used to be. Under these circumstances, Eun's army barely held the line. ”
However, the standoff is only temporary. Over the next six years, the Kazran army, which had slowly caught up with its weaponry, began to slowly reclaim the remaining territory. As the Eun Empire's occupation area slowly decreased, in the fourth year, the Ewen Empire finally began to gradually withdraw civilians from the northern continent, which also meant that the Ewen Empire's aggressive intentions had been completely bankrupt. ”
"Seven years after the counteroffensive of the Republic of Kazran, the Empire of Eun was left with only the city it had built when it first landed. Although only the city remains, in order to preserve hope for the future, the Ewen Empire does not want to completely withdraw from the northern continent. For the Republic of Kazran, the city is a nail that must be pulled out. Thus, during the year, one of the most tragic and longest-lasting battles since the two sides fought broke out, and this battle is very famous in the history of both sides, and it also has a special name - 'Haicheng Meat Grinder'. ”
"The battle lasted almost seven months, and during the battle, the Ewen Empire left nearly 100,000 troops in the city, while also having a large number of warships at sea to assist in the defense. As the attacker, the Kazlan side invested a full 500,000 troops, but the sea power was slightly weak, and under the suppression of the Eun navy, it had little effect. ”
"During these seven months, the fighting went on almost non-stop. Especially after entering the street fighting, any building will change hands back and forth between the two sides until it is destroyed to the point that there is only a pile of ruins that cannot be hidden, and of course, this is just one example. In the end, the defending forces of Eun were reduced to less than 10,000 men when they withdrew from the city, and the Kazlan side did not get much better, and the 500,000 troops were left with only a hundred thousand left, which can be described as extremely tragic. However, such a painful price was not without gain, and after this battle, the Kazran Republic finally completely cleared the power of the Eun Empire from the northern continent......"
