Chapter 4: Business is coming
In the context of a worldwide conflict, a war between two countries is really nothing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAn otherworldly version of the world war is going on here, conflicts are breaking out all over the world, and the causes of the war are strikingly similar. Resources, living space, international discourse, colonies, commodity markets, as well as geographical factors, historical issues, religious beliefs, etc. Together, this decade-long war broke out.
Germania and Antania, two neighbors that border each other but have not been in harmony because of territorial disputes, took advantage of this war to choose their respective camps, and then opened the film fiercely. It is impossible to tell who the aggressor is now, and the only thing that is known is that the hatred between the two sides is getting deeper and deeper, because the armies of both sides under the banner of anti-aggression have not done anything good on each other's territory, and the tug-of-war situation has further deepened this damage.
The battle known as the "Battle of Nice" was a complete accident, both sides wanted to draw mobile troops to fight in a roundabout way, and then envelop the main force of the opponent's frontal battlefield, probably too tacit understanding of love and killing, the roundabout troops on both sides did not choose to march in a loop, but collided headlong together.
As a result, the raid turned into an encounter, and a crackling and pinching on both sides created the scene where Wen Hui had just arrived. Both sides of equal strength suffered heavy losses, and the remaining main forces were now retracted, and the remaining stragglers like Hess were busy rebuilding.
This is the message that Wen Hui put out in the tone of a war-weary, this group of soldiers looks young, but at least they have three years of war experience, and after the initial fanaticism, what remains is the weariness of war. This kind of war of attrition with no end in sight is simply torture, like the three parties of Britain, France and Germany that would squat on the Western Front in World War I.
However, there are still differences here, first of all, the weapons are different, and the tech tree here seems to be a little crooked. They developed steam power, which was used from transports to weapons drives. The result is that the two sides are not far from each other, and the casualties of steam weapons at close range are considerable, and the casualty statistics are simply not too impressive.
This is a regular class of weapons, guns, bombs, etc., except for the different driving modes, but the rest is no different from the earth. Next is the battle of high-end troops, they are not simple steampunk, they also have the use of magic, and also, the other world that can't play magic basically does not exist.
There are mecha-like magic weapons here, and these pilots form the backbone of every country's army, which means that Hess and them are like cannon fodder. In addition to this magic weapon, the driver also has a higher level of military armament, and their status is equivalent to a deterrent weapon.
Witches - a group of talented people, born with powerful magical powers, few but powerful enough to influence the tide of battle, of course, the title "witch" is just a general term, not that all people are women, but because women occupy more than ninety percent of the number of this group, so people naturally ignore the small group of the opposite sex. Several outbreaks in the number of witches in previous years were also a catalyst for war, and the increase in the birth rate of witches led to an increase in the ambition of the rulers.
"It's really a world with dog brains, and it's the only place where there is business." Wen Hui secretly sighed, should he sigh at the tenacity of human beings that this level of consumption in this world can still maintain a considerable population.
After a night of silence, after a hurried journey the next morning, Wen Hui followed Hess and arrived at the town of Nice at noon. The town, which had been a bit idyllic, was now ruined by the dense military equipment that surrounded it, and the town was surrounded by camps, and everyone was busy in the chaotic camps, and the chaos was exacerbated by the soldiers running around; Coupled with the continuous wailing in the wounded barracks, it lowered the morale a little.
"Farewell, then." Hess said goodbye to Wen Hui, and they were going to return to the battlefield anyway.
"Oh! See you soon. Wen Hui came back to his senses, and several broken magic mechs parked at the entrance of the barracks attracted his attention.
Hess followed Wen Hui's gaze and said, "Dmitry, put away your curiosity and stay away from them, these things are very sensitive during the war." ”
"Thanks for the reminder, by the way, if you need equipment, you can find me, I still have some channels." Wen Hui added another sentence before the separation, just now he saw a lot of empty-handed marching troops, and they dared to march empty-handed so close to the front line, either the commander was sick in the brain or they had a shortage of equipment. Blinking at the confused Hess, Wen Hui turned and walked towards the town, where he would stroll around and wait for his business to come to his door.
If you put aside the races with different physical characteristics, and the large mechs that roam the streets, this place is no different from a small town on Earth. Small bazaars flourished with the arrival of large numbers of soldiers, and the liveliest places were taverns and restaurants. It's just that Wen Hui, who has a rumbling stomach at this moment, can only look at it, Hess can take him back to the civilized zone is interesting enough, and the black-hearted boss doesn't care about the meal subsidy.
Wen Hui, who was looking strange on the street, was suddenly grabbed by a hand, and turned around as an acquaintance: "What's wrong?" Looking at Hess's angry face, Wen Hui knew the reason and still asked.
"Follow me." Hess took Wen Hui into a restaurant, walked into a private room upstairs, and motioned for the waiter to serve the meal.
"Yo, you can still get to the private room, this is not something that a low-level officer can do." Wen Hui laughed and teased.
Hess ignored Wen Hui's ridicule, poured a glass of water and began to speak on his own. In the morning he returned with the surviving personnel, and then he was ordered to disarm, for no other reason, the equipment gap was too large to give priority to the elite troops and the generals' guards, so the surviving squad withdrawn from the battlefield had to surrender their weapons.
As for what to do with them empty-handed, this question can be asked by the logistics office. You can go to the battlefield at any time, but if you don't have a weapon, you're going to die, and the military order doesn't care if you have a killer in your hands. And at this time, when there was a shortage of weapons everywhere, Hess naturally remembered what Wen Hui said when he was separated, and he couldn't manage so much when he was sick and rushed to the hospital, so he could only try to know whether what Wen Hui said was true or false.
"No weapons? How is it possible, how can you not do a good job of logistics for such a large-scale battle? Wen Hui couldn't believe the situation.
"It's not that it's not that it's destroyed, the witch squad in Antania has attacked our arsenal in the rear, and the weapons and equipment stored there are all gone. I didn't expect the arsenal to be wiped out, so not only ours, but the supply of several other fronts has been affected, but we are the most affected here. I don't know when the next round of fighting will start, but we can't even find a fully equipped structure here. No weapons, no logistics, and we're on the first line of the damn again. Dmitry, how do you say this battle will be fought? Hess slammed the glass on the table in hatred.
Well, for the time being, let's not investigate why the important munitions and material warehouses in the rear were attacked, Wen Hui knew that business came to the door, "Then you are ......"
"You said you had access to a weapon, really?" Hess swore that if this guy dared to play tricks on himself, he wouldn't mind letting this guy taste the cruelty of war.
"Of course, it's just a little different from the weapons you use." Wen Hui replied as he heard the prompt sound of "Arsenal open", and there was no better sound than this.
"When will I get it? I don't need a little bit. Hess still suspects that too few numbers are a drop in the bucket.
"If you don't mind, look at the sample in the afternoon, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow at the latest. Ordinary people don't go to the edge of the battlefield. "It takes a certain amount of time to produce, and Wenhui will not deliver so quickly, so it will cause suspicion.
Hearing Wen Hui's words, Hess smiled bitterly, this kind of wandering on the edge of the battlefield is not a good thing, but he didn't expect that he would deal with them.
"Make a list of what you need and I'll see how much I can offer, a little is better than nothing, isn't it?" Wen Hui said while stuffing something into his mouth, as long as the situation is opened, it will be easy to say.
