War is a catalyst for the development of civilization, and the brilliant moments in the history of human civilization are often more often born in times of war.

The wisdom and thinking of human beings can enable people to learn from the failures of the past and learn from history to avoid the same mistakes in the future, which is also a precious treasure in the course of human development.

In order to win the war, various ideas and technologies have also emerged in the war environment, and this kind of technology catalyzed by war can often be quickly used in war, and some technologies are even a bit unbelievable, even across the ages.

Throughout the wars of mankind in ancient and modern times, a large number of tactics were all born around the pace of military advance, and a considerable part of all kinds of astonishing and brilliant military talents in history have been centered on new war science and technology and brand-new operational concepts, thus achieving a leading position in the future.

Human civilization can be traced back thousands of years of history, and this long history is an epic that runs through the development of war civilization.

When there was a breakthrough in metallurgical technology, the Han civilization achieved the military suppression of the nomads, and the tactics of using infantry phalanx and light cavalry to meet the steppe cavalry were promoted, so the Han nation achieved a great victory in the war of foreign expansion.

Subsequently, due to the appearance of stirrups, it became possible for cavalry to impact the infantry phalanx, and the heavy cavalry began to appear on the stage of history, and it became more and more difficult for the infantry to defend against the cavalry, so the agricultural civilization began to lose its military advantage over the nomads, until the metallurgical technology of the Tang Dynasty was exhibited again, and the elite infantry with the elite infantry once again became a nightmare that the grassland people could not wake up from.

The rise of the Mongols marked the pinnacle of cavalry tactics, combining advanced metallurgical technology with cavalry tactics from all over the world, such as light cavalry, rangers, and heavy cavalry. They destroyed countless civilizations, but they were eventually drowned in the dust of history because of the passing of time.

They were indeed submerged, and only a short hundred years later, mankind entered the age of thermal weapons, and the artillery began to equip the troops, and countless skilled craftsmen pushed the wheels of history, and mankind was able to slaughter itself more efficiently. In addition to the declining Ming Dynasty, bloody facts are being used all over the world to prove that cavalry is no longer the only option for victory.

Flint guns, rifled guns, fixed-charge ammunition, breech-loading artillery, war has changed beyond recognition in just a few decades. Changing the ancient pattern that has lasted for thousands of years, it has entered a beautiful fairy tale of queuing up to be shot and drumming forward. The bravery of the individual becomes irrelevant, and what is contested in war becomes the courage of an entire nation.

Nowadays, the barbed wire and trenches of this era have made the word war synonymous with mud and cold, machine guns and heavy artillery have made infantry attacks ineffective, and both sides are waiting behind long lines to come to the other to die, waiting for the other to drain the last drop of blood in attrition.

War has never been more brutal, and millions of people have had their fates changed by a single war. And it is no longer the army fighting in front that determines the victory, but the materials hoarded in the rear and the production of steel.

However, the mode of war once again ushered in drastic changes, the emergence of armored forces, just like the natural superiority of cavalry over infantry in those years, barbed wire and trenches became the graves where soldiers were buried, and the war once again used bloody lessons to show the world that the era of war civilization was over.

It's just that every person, or every country, has its own so-called correctness in his mind, which is the truth of war that leads to victory.

But when these self-centered truths meet the real truth, the truth will be the most tragic lesson.

Just like now, Douglas Hague, the commander of the First Army of the British Expeditionary Force, looked at the noisy battlefield in the distance in a daze, and beside him, there were all senior officers of the First Expeditionary Army, all of whom were a little numb.

The proud British do have proud capital, just like the American GIs in the 21st century, the idea of God first and Lao Tzu second, deeply influenced the British Empire.

In order to break through the stalemate of the war and tear apart the defense line of the Chinese Empire, the British Empire carefully developed and produced water tanks.

The British Empire believed that this was a new piece of equipment that the enemy did not have in his hands and that would be enough to change the decisive weapon of the war.

However, their opponents, the Chinese Empire, told them a very good truth, war is a system confrontation, not determined by the advancement of a certain piece of weaponry.

When the system of war is completely crushed, even one or two advanced weapons and equipment are only in vain.

What's more, some of the so-called advanced weapons and equipment possessed by Britain and the United States are actually very backward, and they do not have the slightest advantage in an all-round system confrontation, and the results are irreversible.

At this moment, when the British general Haig saw that the British tanks were easily destroyed, he thoroughly tasted the essence of this war.

As the British, who are determined to counterattack, the British, who think that God is on the side of the British, should also wake up at this moment.

The million-strong army, with a depth and width of more than 120 kilometers, could not hold out for even two hours, and the enemy's attacking troops had already broken through to their own headquarters.

"General, the expeditionary Second and Third armies have been completely defeated, the Fourth Army has completely lost contact, and several divisions of the US Army have not returned from the front......"

Beside Haig, a communication liaison soldier ran over with a gunpowder look on his face and reported: "At present, only two infantry regiments of the First Army are relatively complete, and the other units have been scattered. ”

"In the rear of Gayrash, a large number of enemy troops have also appeared, and all parts of the city have become battlefields, and a large number of our supplies in Gayrash have been blown up......"

Haig was in a daze for a long time, and then he slowly came back to his senses, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and said: "The humming sound in the sky should be the planes of the Chinese Empire, they can already take off and fight at night, and they can drop an incredible number of bombs, and their artillery can attack a distance of more than a hundred kilometers. ”

Speaking of this, Haig pointed to the 055 tank that rushed out of the smoke in the distance, and said: "This should be their tank, no matter how you look at it, it completely crushed us, I heard that in the Pacific Ocean, the Chinese Empire already has several battleships of more than 60,000 tons......"

The officers next to Haig, no one knew who Haig was talking to, as if he was talking to himself, and the words that could come out of his mouth were hammered word by word in everyone's heart.

Is the era of the British Empire over?
