Chapter 864: People are the future

The rain of fire flying in the sky is like a galaxy falling from the sky.

The rain on the ground was evaporated, the steel was melted, and the earth was scorched black.

In the face of the deadly heat, no living thing survived.

Even if it's red clay.

That's a more direct injury than radioactive fallout.

Looking at the burning earth in front of him, Captain Woolf of the 360,000th Brigade squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled a smile, but quickly retracted it.

Even if he had no doubt that the Confederate Army would eventually win that final victory, it would be difficult to interpret the battle in front of him as a victory.

In the face of the joint encirclement and suppression of three 10,000-strong teams, the other side actually knocked out their supply lines with high battle losses.

What's worse is that this is just an armored thousand troops of the Alliance!

Even if the number is a little larger, it can be regarded as a "strengthened organization" at most, and no matter how much it can't make up the establishment of a 10,000-person team.

No matter how the Triumphant newspaper rhetoric for them, the war report is very difficult to lie.

And it's hard to say whether this time the Triumph will help them as before.

After all, this time is different from the past, they have offended too many people, and even the allies in the east are not completely on their side.

But if you offend, you will offend.

He comforted himself in his heart that as long as he won the final victory, all those who appeared to be separated would change their minds.

But how long will victory be?

This is just the beginning.

I don't know what else awaits them ahead.

Looking at the extinguishing flames, the staff officer sitting next to him tugged at the corners of his mouth.

“…… It's finally over. ”

The opponent's difficulties were far beyond his imagination.

"Hmm."

Woolf nodded, didn't say a word, just looked blankly.

Glancing sideways at him, the staff officer whispered.

"Their technology is advancing faster than we could have imagined. According to the information provided by our allies to the east, they had only used a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic cannon as their trump card in the previous battle, but this time they had a whole armored force in line. ”

After a pause, he continued.

"I have reasonable suspicions that they have more...... It's a threat to us. ”

The Conqueror Ten's gap armor is almost absolutely defensible against armor-piercing shells, which are almost the limit that most survivor forces can achieve with primitive industrial technology.

As for kinetic artillery, conventional calibers and charges do not even touch the gap layer of the armor, and it can be easily defended by purely hard shells.

It is precisely for this reason that the indestructible armor of Conqueror X is an insurmountable "wall of sighs" for most of the survivors.

In order to defend against some "free-fall shells" thrown from abandoned high-rise buildings, and adapt to the security of the urban environment, they even specially strengthened the roof of the turret!

However, all this targeted design became a joke in front of weapons designed on the basis of new technical principles.

The Union's electromagnetic guns pierced one by one, and as long as the electrostatic shells hit the ammunition rack, it was a string of brilliant sparks, and this was one of the reasons why their armored formations were continuously exploded.

Theoretically, the penetration effect of the electromagnetic cannon is adjustable, and the installation of a special warhead can even break through the air resistance, so there is really no upper limit to the damage effect.

What is worrying is that I heard that the South China Sea Alliance seems to have this technology and that it is being used by them on battleships.

Before, they really didn't pay attention to the group of fishermen in the southern seas, but with the arrival of the alliance, the group of starfish that had cowered on the island suddenly stood up, and now they also began to go out.

Once these technologies spread, the advantage that the Legion has had over the past century and a half will be gone!

To deal with this unprecedented threat, they should at least think outside the design of the "Conqueror" series and develop new equipment based on new "tactical needs".

These preparations should have been made before the war began, but what he saw was not.

While their opponents were seriously pondering their equipment, the Legion's top brass simply purchased a large number of "Conqueror Ten" from the Eastern Legion.

Maybe the high-level still has other hole cards in their hands, or they didn't expect to win by relying on the superiority of the armored forces from the beginning, but pressed their chips on other hole cards, but the current battle situation does make him feel a little worried.

Although he also had no doubt that the Willantes would win the final victory, he couldn't help but wonder if they were a little overconfident and even ignored the objective development of things.

Even if I never miss it.

“…… It's just a tactical threat," the adjutant corrected, grinning, and continued disapprovingly, "and strategically it's another matter. Just like now, whether it's an electromagnetic cannon or something, the end result is only a puddle of molten iron. They've just won 10 times, and Lion City is now in our hands. ”

In terms of firepower, the Southern Corps will not lose to anyone!

He is absolutely confident in this.

Even if the opponent's electromagnetic cannon is a little stronger, it can't fill the gap in firepower between the two sides!

"That's all right," the staff officer didn't refute his claim, but only asked rhetorically, "but what if they want other hole cards?" ”

The adjutant smiled.

"You mean phase cannons? That kind of thing is a real threat, but we're not unprepared. ”

The staff officer shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's something else."

"What is it?"

"I don't know."

Hearing this ambiguous answer, the adjutant was stunned.

"Don't know?"

The staff officer nodded, and said with a solemn expression.

"Not knowing is the scariest thing...... Haven't you noticed that our adversaries know us, and we never try to know them? ”

He always had a feeling that the alliance had infiltrated their interior.

This is not surprising.

There are many Willantes who are hostile to the Alliance, but there are also many who have a good opinion of them.

These are the easiest to buy.

Even without having to buy them, those people were even willing to help them.

Whether they admit it or not, such groups exist in the Legion, and as their practices become more and more frenzied, the resistance to this resistance swells.

On the other hand, on the Legion's side, let alone a bribe, it is difficult to hire a brewer from Dawning City to work in Avent......

……

The boiling flames reduced the enemy to ashes, and finally dissipated the anger in everyone's hearts.

Not only did the commander in the command car relax his frowning brows, but the soldiers of the 360,000th Brigade also relaxed their tense shoulders and pressed down the muzzles of their raised guns.

It was a terrible battle, and the sudden flickering arcs of electricity in the darkness and the turrets flying into the sky almost became a haunting nightmare in their hearts.

The flames in the distance were gradually extinguished.

Just as everyone was about to close the team, a stumbling figure suddenly appeared on the dark wilderness.

The man's arms were firmly tied with ropes, and he walked on the muddy ground with steps that he did not recognize, as if he might fall headlong to the ground at any moment.

He was the first to be spotted by reconnaissance teams at the front.

Several Velante soldiers standing next to the reconnaissance vehicle exchanged glances, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

There are still people alive?!

"Captain, there's a living man!"

“…… It seems to be our people. ”

The ten-captain sitting in the car frowned and looked through the magnifier of the electric machine gun.

The man was covered in mud, his face was colored, and his pants were wet, like a wild dog rolling out of a puddle of mud.

Whether it is the high bridge of the nose or the military uniform, it tells his identity.

This guy is his compatriot.

Although he desperately hoped not.

"Stop!"

When the man approached, the Captain of Ten himself got out of the car and pointed a gun at him to signal him to stop.

"I ...... Ahem! My name is Quincy...... It's your own people! ”

The young man named Quincy had horror written on his face, his eyes were as empty as briquettes, and his face was as gray as a slug.

He didn't want that either.

But he was really scared.

Not only because the guy shot him with his mouth earlier, but also because of the artillery fire that fell from the sky.

It was completely different from what he saw during the exercise, it was not him charging at the shells, but the shells coming at him.

The burning white phosphorus almost rubbed against his heels, and he almost died in his own hands when he escaped!

The burning white phosphorus almost rubbed against his heels, and he almost died in his own hands when he escaped!

"Your number."

The Captain of the Ten stared at him intently, looking at the look of the nest, and disdain was written in his eyes.

"The 34th Infantry Team...... The 3,000th ......"

"What are the three thousandth? Don't you even know how to talk about it? The ten-captain stared at him coldly, and pressed down the muzzle of the gun in his hand, "And your exoskeleton, your equipment, where the hell have gone?" Did you give it away? ”

“…… In, probably in the fire. Quincy swallowed with difficulty, not daring to say that he might have been picked up by the guerrillas.

The ten-captain didn't care at all, just looked at him with disdain.

"Oh, yes, why aren't you in there?"

"I ......"

"I'm so ashamed of you, you weak bastard is our compatriot."

The ten-captain pulled out a captured pistol from the waist of his subordinate and threw it in front of the wild dog-like fellow, saying with a look of disgust.

"Our 360,000th team doesn't have a guy like you, and we'd rather die on the battlefield than surrender."

He didn't say anything, but as if he had said everything, he quietly looked at the frightened young man in front of him.

It's the same with the Willantes next to them.

At first they felt some sympathy for the poor fellow, but after listening to the captain's words, they were less sympathetic.

This wretched guy is actually a Willant?

Dirty their noble blood!

It's better to kill yourself and die at the hands of the enemy, and then you can be considered a warrior.

Quincy trembled and picked up the pistol on the ground and pressed it against his jaw, but his index finger seemed to be filled with lead, and he didn't have the courage to pick it off for a long time.

He looked pleadingly at his compatriots standing around him, hoping that they would stop him, only to find that they were just watching playfully, as if urging him to hurry.

Why is this the case?

He was obviously fighting for the land where the Willant people could live in the sun, but why did he become the enemy of the Willant when he escaped death?

He felt as if something had broken in his heart, and suddenly he broke down and roared.

"Ahhh!!h

He finally mustered up the courage and pulled the trigger down, but only heard a crisp sound of the "bell".

The crisp sound shook his brain, as if he had been kicked by a donkey.

There were no bullets in the chamber......

He was tricked.

Even if he was stupid, he reacted, and these veterans were purely playing with him.

Quincy looked at the guys blankly, and suddenly the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained, and the whole person collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The Welantes looked at the coward one last time with mockery, and without saying a word, turned back to the car, started the engine, and drove away.

The soldier sitting in the driver's seat had been watching, glancing at the figure that had disappeared in the rearview mirror, and the expression on his face was a little unbearable.

"Don't we care about that guy?"

Before the Captain could speak, another young man sitting next to him pursed his lips and laughed.

"Do you want to ride in a car with that mud man?"

The fireman, who carried the machine gun on his back, also laughed and teased.

"He's all running here, let him keep running, maybe he can run back to Triumph City."

"Hahahaha!"

The car was filled with unbridled laughter.

The boys of the 360,000th squad returned to camp with the glory of the ace of the Annihilation Alliance, even if the tough battle left them with a lot of things to lose.

At the same time, on the other side, in the north of Surak County, the 170,000 troops stationed in the local area finally converged with the reinforcements in the rear and launched an invasion towards the dog state in the three northern states again!

The Lunarian Resistance Army stationed on the border with Dog State withdrew from the battlefield with only limited resistance.

As planned, they decided to use movement warfare against the offensive of the corps.

Stretch as many of the opponent's supply lines as possible, and then use artillery and guerrillas to annihilate the opponent's living forces.

Just like their strategy when they fought the Gray Wolf Army on the border of Mammoth State.

It's just that in this way, their battle reports are really ugly, and the front line is almost "collapsed at the first touch".

Compared with Lassi, who is as stable as an old dog, Absec is obviously much more breathless.

If it weren't for the Alliance's elite troops having already arrived in Tiandu, he might have followed that Shah Rukh and slipped away.

The heavenly capital extends in all directions, to the south is his hometown Wolf State, and to the east is Xiangzhou, which is smooth in wind and rain.

If you want to run, there is still a place to run, and if you can't do it, you can go to Kingalen Harbor to be an apartment.

The people of the entire Tiandu City were panicked.

And just when everyone wanted to leave, there was a person who could not leave.

The office of the Consul's Office.

Isher stood at his desk and looked at Absec as he sat behind his desk.

"I want to go to the front."

Absec stopped his pen and looked up at the young man.

He had a bit of an impression of this guy, as if he was Anwo's slippery head.

A few days ago, Anwo sent a telegram to transfer the old subordinates to the port of Golden Gallen to help.

He couldn't stop this kind of trivial matter, and besides, he also needed someone to go to the Golden Gallen Harbor for him to sell miserably, so he waved his hand.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that on the day he was leaving, this Isher would not leave.

"To the front? At this time, go to the front, have you thought clearly? ”

Looking at Absec who seemed to be smiling, Isher nodded seriously.

"I've figured it out."

"Okay, ambitious! Then I won't keep you, you just go with the people of the alliance. ”

After a pause, Absec rolled his eyes and continued.

"Your rank is too low to match your ability, from now on you will be the commander of ten thousand people, responsible for rebuilding the 30,000 troops that were scattered!"

Isher straightened up, her right fist pressed to her chest.

"Thank you for the promotion!"

Absec smiled and waved his hand.

"It's not a good job, don't work too hard, just take those recruits and get acquainted with them...... Forget it, I'm sure you know, you can do it yourself. ”

Isher knew what he wanted to say, and he knew why he had temporarily promoted himself to captain of all the woodmen and stuffed himself with a bunch of recruits who needed to be trained.

And it still uses the old name of the 30,000 people, who sacrificed the most heroically.

Although the Grand Commander was very dissatisfied with Anwo's assertion in Saisail Harbor, he still regarded them as his subordinates in his heart.

In other words, it's short-term.

Anyone knows that the front line is a fire pit now, and it is not enough to fill it with firewood, he will at least hint that he will not go, and if he can't persuade him, he will find a way to keep him safe.

Isher nodded in sincere thanks, then turned and left the office.

Looking at the young man who turned to leave, Absek, who was not too old, sighed oldly.

“…… We're not all slippery, there are still two good guys. ”

But it's a pity.

In the land of Borneo, most of the good people do not end well.

A few months is not enough, a few years are not enough, at least a few decades, or even a hundred years.

One day, a bastard like himself has to be pointed at a gun by a good person, and this Borneo country can really be saved.

Absec shook his head with a smile, picked up his pen, and continued to write.

【…… To Kabaha, Commissioner of Education. 】

[I think there is something wrong with the university, but the treasury of Borneo really has no money left, you have to let me delay it for two years, and I owe you this money. 】

[In addition, I heard that Mr. Rat has set up a Mammoth State University in Mammoth Country, which recruits students from the entire province of Borneo. In this case, we might as well borrow their classrooms and desks to start a "joint school" and use their places to teach our students. 】

[You cultural people communicate more, just like I can talk to Lassy, if you pull your face down, I think this Mr. Rat will not refuse, you can't scold me after me. 】

[It's a day of artillery fire, it's really not a place to teach and educate people, and it's a pity that the repaired teaching building is broken, so it's better to build it after it's finished. 】

[You should be approved by me about the university, first choose the students of the right age, those budgets to build a building are really not enough, but it is enough to organize a few exams and make up some travel expenses and living expenses. Remember to pick out real talents and send them to Mammoth University to learn from the teachers there, and when they do, they will be our teachers. I'm not afraid that they won't come back in the future, I'm afraid that they will follow us into the trenches and not come back...... Whether it's Borneo or Mammoth, those people are our future. 】

[You are the only one to check this matter, which slippery head dares to pinch you to come to me, I will definitely pick him up!] 】
