In fact, at the beginning of the year, Britannia had the intention of suing for peace. But once this desire for peace is placed on the negotiating table, it is a different matter. Moreover, Britannia's domestic militant faction still accounts for a large part of the population.

Until the Imperial army approached the cities of Caen and Cherbourg.

The sea fleet, which the Britannians were proud of, failed to hold the enemy back beyond their territory. The few sharp weapons they have always been proud of have not played a substantial role.

Giant artillery, tanks, sea fleets.

It's not that these weapons aren't powerful enough, it's that Britannia is still immersed in the old, archaic tactics of the past.

Once the ship leaves the sea, it is useless, and the shore defense giant artillery group is not powerful after losing the advantage of replenishment distance. And the cooperation of the Empire's long-range assault capsule and mecha can directly skip these advantages of theirs. The only tank swarm tactics that can compete with the Imperial mechs are also lacking in tactics that prevent them from fully demonstrating their strengths.

Compared to Britannia, the empire has been fighting for almost a year. The Empire has a first-class scientific research organization, and their daily job is to discover and manufacture new weapons, and quickly put them into combat testing. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the Empire launched a "holy war".

For the sake of these wars, the empire even did not hesitate to send a large number of excellent "spies" to infiltrate those countries. While everyone is still immersed in their own small worlds, the empire is secretly provoking conflicts between countries.

The original crossing of the northern fortress was actually promoted by some people within the empire. And that war was just a small test for the Empire.

At the end of 40, as soon as the Empire's mecha troops came into contact with the "Steam Tank", the Empire's top brass immediately responded. Pressure the Miner Alliance through the remaining dwarven groups within the Empire. Prompting them to stop selling a range of weapons to several countries that were fighting the Empire, including the "Steam Tank." ”

In exchange, the empire allowed the dwarves of Ironforge to build railroads and open more mines within the country.

In the traditional New Year of 41, before the festival of fire was over, the second group of expeditionary troops began to prepare and march towards Norman. In February of the same year, the Empire's new 503rd Regiment left for Perth Bay in Sukaran to replace the original Rapid Reaction Force and continue to assist the Eastern Front troops in conquering the remaining large cities in Sukkaran.

On 14 February, the Imperial War and the Council of Nobles jointly issued an order.

"The first legion of a nation to fight against the Empire to invade a town within its borders becomes the governor of the region. ”

The appearance of this order made the major legions fighting on the front line go crazy in an instant.

At the beginning of April, after the warm season, the Miners' Alliance visited Amsteris with a special gift. That special gift was a modified "steam tank".

In addition to increasing the elevation angle of the main gun to about 75 degrees, the improved tank also followed the turret of the tank into a movable turret that could rotate 180 degrees left and right.

After the Empire established diplomatic relations with the Dwarves as a whole, the Mineers promised them to limit the export of weapons to other countries by their people to the greatest extent possible. Correspondingly, the Empire has opened up some mecha construction bases for some dwarves to participate in the development and research of Imperial weapons.

After all, dwarves are more attached to other things than money. This is perhaps the biggest difference between them and humans.

Because of her injuries, all of Anna's missions at the front were forcibly canceled. During this time, she could only be busy in the command post, and only a small part of the time would be on the front line to inspect her troops.

Neither Captain Kakawi nor Lieutenant Chris, who were the most likely to be the commander of E Company, were promoted. The company commander was a person who came directly from the General Staff Headquarters - Jade Troy Akafman.

There is no doubt that the nobles intervened in this matter again, and the General Staff Headquarters, in order to balance the internal relationship, acquiesced in this matter.

For this reason, the commander of the regiment, Colonel Elios, said to Anna more than once, "I'm sorry to give away the troops you brought with you." ”

In 41, from the beginning of the New Year until March, the military headquarters did not issue any combat orders. Maybe it's an impasse in the negotiations, maybe something else......

There were no battle orders for a whole month, except for the occasional greeting from the front line. Of course, the Britannia didn't aim for some worthy targets, and the battle of Catang completely scared them out. They were afraid that some people in the empire would retaliate regardless of the order, and the cannon was just fired to deal with the order from above.

This brings us to other issues.

One night, four veterans of Company D, after a drunken drink, did not know whose proposal it was. Drove the "Barbarian" out to race wildly.

Sergeant Mullen Vik lost his balance under the influence of the wine and crashed headfirst into a building not far outside the barracks. It was as if he had been loaded by a high-speed car, and he fractured his skull on the spot and died on the way to the ambulance. The place where he died was only a few meters away from the barracks.

The other, Sergeant William Durum, plunged headlong into the lake outside Katang. By the time everyone fished him up, he was already a cold corpse.

Because they did not die on the battlefield, they would not even have the most basic preferential treatment of martyrs~. The commander of Company D, Captain Grant, and my adjutant, Kakavi, stayed with me for almost the last few days, hoping that I would write the words "died in battle" in their report, so that their families could get the best possible comfort.

What can I do? Write to their families, "I'm sorry, your son died in the barracks because he was drunk. "I can even remember the expectant look in my parents' eyes.

Just when I was frustrated with these things. Another, even worse thing happened.

Due to the appearance of the Empire's Charged Magic Stone, the troops of all armies of the Empire now have their own mecha units. Although, neither qualitatively nor quantitatively, they were no match for the 501 regiment directly under the Central Committee. However, they do have their own mecha unit.

Capton - the guy who confessed to me in the first place. The body is fair but not strong, no matter who he meets, he smiles, and since he confessed, this guy has always avoided me. He was already a second lieutenant at the time of the accident.

(Most of the soldiers involved in the breakout mission were quickly promoted.) The high mortality rate is one of the prerequisites for their rapid promotion. ）

On that day, Second Lieutenant Kapton piloted his own mech on a routine patrol. When they arrived at a guard post on the border between Catang and Vilvi, they found that something had happened there.

A soldier in a Bricks mech combat uniform stood drunk, carrying half an unknown bottle of liquor in his hand. At his feet lay several Vilvies
