Chapter 55: The Seven Expeditions of Rhine!
Swish~
The destroyers of the Frontier Legion brought Jiang Xia, the warriors who participated in the brawl, back to the Lanling camp.
Jiang Xia thought that he had made a big accident and would be called to the office by Jiang Buchuan to scold him, but the result was much more than Jiang Xia expected.
The blonde lieutenant colonel, who was in charge of bringing the warriors back to the camp, glanced around the warriors with blue noses and swollen faces in the cabin, and said loudly, "You did a good job this time!" No disgrace to the Federation, no disgrace to the Frontier Corps! Now, everyone can go back and rest. ”
"That's it?" Jiang Xia was stunned, opened his mouth and asked the know-it-all beside him.
The jack-of-all-trades was a little absent-minded and said, "So what? The Federation Army is very protective of calves, and will never let its soldiers suffer, so you can rest assured, no one will hold you accountable, do what you should do. ”
The corpse of the Scarlet Hunting Beast has been taken away by the Logistics Department, and the bones, fur, ligaments, and beast crystals of the third-level crystal beast are all of high value, and the military department is buying these things in large quantities to make battle armor and potions.
As soon as Jiang Xia and the others returned to the dormitory where the warriors lived, the logistics department transferred the bounty of the Scarlet Hunting Beast to Jiang Xia's account.
The scarlet hunting beast was estimated to be worth a high price of 3.8 million federal dollars, which made Jiang Xia overjoyed.
"The bounty is a total of 3.8 million, and I will divide it equally into everyone's account." Jiang Xia showed his teammates the notice sent by the logistics department and said.
"I don't want it."
The know-it-all waved his hand, looking indifferent, Jiang Xia knew that he was not short of money, so he didn't say anything.
Zuo Peng and Chaves also resolutely refused to share the bounty with Jiang Xia, in their opinion, Jiang Xia had the greatest credit for hunting this monster, and he was just a helper.
In the end, Jiang Xia said that Zuo Peng and Chaves finally accepted the bounty of 1 million federal dollars each, and Jiang Xia received 1.8 million.
Even if they took a small bounty, Zuo Peng and Chaves still felt very happy, and even said that they had taken advantage of Jiang Xia and would definitely invite him to a big meal when they returned.
After all, their killing efficiency is not high, the average daily bounty is less than 10,000 federal yuan, and Jiang Xia gave them 1 million, which is equivalent to their income in the E-level combat base for more than three months.
Two million 180,000 federal dollars...
Jiang Xia looked at the balance in his bank account and smiled happily.
A few months ago, he was a poor boy with a monthly salary of 800 federal dollars, but now his worth has exceeded 2 million, which is really like a dream.
......
The cafeteria downstairs of the samurai dormitory.
After such a big round, everyone was already hungry.
Unlike Jiang Xia, who feasted on a big meal, the know-it-all seemed to be a little worried, depressed, and only ate a little bit of food, and then never moved the chopsticks again.
"Jiang Xia, you come to my room later, I have something to ask you." The know-it-all whispered to Jiang Xia.
"Oh, yes." Jiang Xia was nibbling on a chicken leg, and he shrugged his shoulders in agreement.
At this time, a tall man strode in outside the restaurant, with a black face and a puffed out of his breath.
I saw this tall warrior shouting to the people who were eating: "I'm angry with Lao Tzu!" The brutes of the Pang Xin Empire actually set the location of the final round of the confrontation in the Rhine system! ”
"The Rhine system!?"
"Is that true?"
The warriors stood up one after another, and asked with grim expressions.
"That's still fake! I heard them say as I passed by the administrative office, and the official notice should have arrived immediately. The tall warrior said angrily.
He didn't even eat, he stomped his foot hard, slammed the door and left the restaurant, and the warriors who heard about it looked worried one by one.
Dididi~
In a short time, the military communication terminal on everyone's wrist rang at the same time.
Jiang Xia raised his left hand and looked at it, and then frowned deeply.
"The Rhine system? Why the Rhine system!? Zuo Peng asked with a trembling voice.
"Needless to say, these grandsons must be taking revenge on us!"
Chavez slammed the table, knocking over a bowl of chicken soup on the table, and the soup trickled down the table and onto the ground.
In an instant, there was a dead silence in the warrior's restaurant, and everyone's faces were gloomy, except for the sound of the soup dripping on the floor.
Drip, drip...
As if the last countdown of the counter.
......
The room of the know-it-all was next door to Jiang Xia, and at this moment, Jiang Xia was sitting on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, holding his beloved electronic pipe in his hand.
The pod was being catalyzed, but after a long time, Jiang Xia didn't take a puff, as if he had forgotten about it.
"It's the Rhine Galaxy..."Jiang Xia whispered to himself, the heartbreaking picture in his head.
For every soldier, the Rhine system is an indelible scar in his heart.
In the year 5219 of the Federal Calendar, the first full-scale war between the Earth Federation and the Pang Xin Empire broke out.
At that time, the Earth Federation had just ended the war with the Sama Republic, and although it finally eliminated this fierce enemy, the Federation also paid a heavy price for it, and nearly a quarter of the warships were shot down in the war, and its strength was seriously damaged.
At this time, the Pang Xin Empire took advantage of the weakness of the Federation and brazenly launched a surprise attack, capturing the three major galaxies of Rhine, Lanling, and Yangon in one fell swoop, and the forward troops had even broken through to the Turin galaxy, the core of the Federation, and the situation was precarious.
In the year 5220 of the federal calendar, under the leadership of the military god Lan, the Earth Army gathered heavy troops and fought bloodily, pushing all the way from the Turin galaxy to the edge of the Rhine galaxy.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient preparation and hasty assembly, the Federation Army was unable to recover the Rhine system, an important border town.
This war is known as the First Rhine Expedition.
In the year 5223 of the federal calendar, after three years of preparation, the Earth Army tried to recover the Rhine system for the second time, but was blocked by the Pang Xin Empire and failed in the battle of recovery.
That battle was known as the Second Rhine Expedition.
In the year 5227 of the Federal Calendar, four years after the Second Rhine Expedition, the Earth Army was once again launched.
The three expeditions of the Rhine, and another defeat.
In the year 5229 of the federal calendar, the Fourth Rhine Expedition began.
The Earth Army was defeated again.
However, the Earth Army did not become discouraged by this, and did not give up its determination to regain the lost territory and rescue the compatriots in the occupied areas.
After five years of careful preparation, the Earth Army is like a mad dog that will never give up until it reaches its goal, and has started the fifth Rhine Expedition!
In the year 5235 of the federal calendar, after a full year and four months of bitter fighting with the Pangxin Imperial Army, the Earth Army ran out of ammunition and food, and reluctantly declared the failure of the Fifth Rhine Expedition.
Five consecutive failed expeditions have dealt a blow to the young Earth Federation, but the Earth Army is still trying to regain lost ground and rescue their compatriots!
In the year 5242 of the federal calendar, seven years after the Fifth Rhine Expedition, the Earth Army opened the Sixth Rhine Campaign with the momentum of not breaking Loulan's vow and not returning!
Originally, this was a well-prepared Armageddon, and the many years of expedition allowed the Earth Army to adapt to the playing style and style of the Pang Xin Imperial Army, and the seven years also made the Earth Army fully prepared.
In the initial stages of the campaign, everything went well, and it didn't take long for the Earth Army to reach the outer edge of the Rhine galaxy and occupy a large number of asteroid belts on the outer edge of the galaxy.
Just when the whole Federation rejoiced, thinking that this time the Rhine system would definitely be restored, so that the 1.3 billion compatriots living there would no longer be enslaved by the Pang Xin Empire.
Tragedy struck suddenly.
The Assyrian Empire next door unexpectedly joined the war and formed an alliance with the Pang Xin Empire.
Under the double attack of the Assyrian Republic and the Pang Xin Empire, the Earth Army suffered a crushing defeat for the sixth time and had to retreat to its own territory.
All who lived through that dark period will always remember the countless weepings and tears that went from Earth to the colonies.
Defeat after defeat brought the Union economy to a standstill, all resources were used to build warships necessary for war, the people were impoverished and unable to fill their stomachs, and tens of millions of young men went to the battlefield one after another, eventually dying in the brutal war.
Defeat after defeat, defeat after defeat!
Just when the entire galaxy decided that the Earth Federation had exhausted all its resources and could no longer recover the Rhine system, it was bound to sink.
In the spring of 5249 in the federal calendar, the military god Lan delivered one of the most important speeches in the history of the Federation, announcing that he would use the strength of the entire Federation to declare war on the two powerful enemies of the Assyrian Republic and the Pang Xin Empire at the same time! Seventh Expedition to the Rhine System!
With tears in his speech, Arashi said that the Earth Federation will never give up on the 1.3 billion compatriots living in the occupied areas, and if he cannot recover the Rhine system, he himself will never leave the front line even a single step! Fight to the last ship, the last man!
Break the cauldron and sink the boat, fight against the water!
The tragic Seventh Rhine Expedition began, and under the leadership of the military god Lan, the Earth Army played an unprecedented momentum!
From 5249 to 5259 in the federal calendar, the war on the border has been raging for ten years!
In the military factory, the battleships that had just been assembled were sent directly to the front.
In the four reserve barracks, the soldiers who had just finished their recruit training immediately went to the front line!
This is not only a war for the Earth Army, but also a war for every citizen of the entire Earth Federation!
Young people are on the battlefield, women, children, and the elderly take on the heavy work, mothers carry their children in the mines to mine metals, and hobbling old people work day and night on the production line.
The Pang Xin Empire and the Assyrian Republic never imagined that the Earth Federation, which was already at the end of the crossbow, would drag itself into the quagmire of war, and it would be a whole decade at a time!
They were also weakened by the war, their economies were in regression, and a large number of young people were killed in the war.
The Seventh Rhine Expedition finally evolved into a contest of willpower, depending on who can grit their teeth and persevere to the end, whether it is the Earth Federation, the Pang Xin Empire, or the Assyrian Republic, they are all suffering from the great trauma and pain caused by the war!
Moreover, the war, which has been going on for four decades, shows no signs of ending.
However, in the autumn of the fortieth year of the Rhine War, an event occurred that every Union soldier regretted for the rest of his life.
The 1.3 billion people living in the Rhine galaxy sent a letter written in blood, hoping that the god of war Lan would stop the war, because they really couldn't bear the sacrifice made by the Federation in order to recover this territory and protect themselves.
In order to save the 1.3 billion compatriots in the occupied area, the Earth Army has paid far more than 1.3 billion soldiers' precious lives, not to mention that the entire Earth Federation has already exhausted its treasury in order to support seven consecutive high-intensity wars, and has to rely on debt to continue the war.
The 1.3 billion compatriots on the earth trapped in the occupied area can no longer bear so many soldiers fighting to the death for themselves, and if they continue to fight to the death, they will drag down the entire federation!
So, the compatriots in the occupied areas wrote a 175-kilometer-long signed blood letter, on which each signed his name and begged the motherland to end the war.
In the letter, they said that they will always be the people of the Earth Federation, no matter where they are, but for the sake of the Federation, please stop this war! Don't let the warriors die in vain anymore!
For the sake of the Federation, forget about us people from the occupied territories!
After reading the letter, the military god Lan locked himself in his room and cried.
Forget that there are still 1.3 billion compatriots left in the system occupied by the enemy?
How could this be forgotten!
The loss of the Rhine system and the separation of 1.3 billion compatriots are the shame of Arashi's life as a soldier!
However, Arashi also knows that this brutal forty-year war has brought the Earth Federation to the brink of collapse, and in order to support this war to continue, the people have reached the point of starvation!
The army has really done its best, and the Earth Federation is still fighting until now in the face of two enemies of the same size as itself, and still planting the flag of the Federation on the outer edge of the Rhine system, which is already a rare miracle in the galaxy!
If this war continues, the result is likely to be all burned and all will be destroyed!
Arashi finally agreed to the peace talks, and after signing his name on the consent form with red eyes, he announced his retirement, and has since disappeared from the people's eyes forever, no one knows where he has gone, and no one has seen him again.
Two weeks after the peace talks, the Forty-Year Rhine War came to an end.
In order to be able to end this crazy war as soon as possible, the Pang Xin Empire agreed to almost all the conditions proposed by the Earth Federation.
They assured that although the Rhine system belonged to the Pang Xin Empire, every earthling living there would always exist as a free people, and that the Rhine system would be governed by a parliamentary union formed by local residents.
To outsiders, this was a ridiculous agreement, and the Pang Xin Empire and the Assyrian Republic, which were on the side of the victors, went so far as to give up the right to govern their hard-won territory.
But the high-level leaders of the Pang Xin Empire and the Assyrian Republic knew very well in their hearts that the opponent of the Earth Federation was too terrifying, and they had seven consecutive expeditions, not only the Earth Federation was already at the end of the crossbow, but they themselves were not it?
If you continue to fight like this, no one will have a good result, so you have to pinch your nose and accept the armistice conditions of the Earth Federation.
This is the famous Seven Rhine Expeditions in history!
The Earth Federation has proved its determination in forty years and seven consecutive expeditions at any cost!
This battle has made the entire galaxy understand one thing, anyone who wants to occupy the territory of the Earth Federation will have to face repeated and unending counterattacks like mad dogs!
Even if it's just a galaxy, the Earth Federation will fight to the last soldier for this!
The major media in the galaxy have praised the Earth Federation to the fullest, praising the Earth as having a tough guy army, with an unimaginable tenacity, and being one of the most combat-ready countries in the galaxy.
But in this piece of praise, the Earth Army did not feel the slightest joy.
In any case, there is no Rhine galaxy on the map of the current Earth Federation.
The archives of the 1.3 billion inhabitants of the Rhine system are still sealed in the Citizens' Archives of the Federation, but those compatriots are no longer citizens of the Federation.
More than 1,000 years later, today.
Due to the huge shadow brought about by the Seven Rhine Expeditions, the Assyrian Republic and the Pang Xin Empire have always been careful to keep peace with the Earth Federation, and have never dared to set foot in the Earth Territory even one step further.
And the fallen Rhine system has become an eternal scar in the heart of every federal soldier.
The wound will always heal, but the scar will always ache faintly on every stormy night.
