The cold ice rain slapped indiscriminately on his face, and photographer Maduro carried a camera wrapped in a tarpaulin,

"Hurry up! Come on!

After a while, someone found out, and there was no way to take pictures. Maduro saw the bodies scattered all over the ground and hurriedly called for his assistants to help.

The corpses were densely packed, all lying in the muddy water, and there was not even a white cloth on their bodies.

Some of the guys with missing arms and legs look like rag dolls twisted by children.

The faces of many corpses looked so immature, they looked like children.

If this breaks out, it will be big news. It's worth wasting two precious pieces of film.

Two aides hurriedly pulled up the rain cloth, and Maduro set up the camera in a panic.

This camera was given to the newspaper when the Ming Dynasty aided the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the emerging Israel in the war.

Unexpectedly, it has only been less than ten years.

The Ming became an enemy, but Israel fought alongside Austria-Hungary.

The changes were so rapid that the war went on for a year, and many of the Austro-Hungarian people had not yet recovered from their senses.

Perhaps, the corpses everywhere will make the people clear how hateful Daming is.

"Click! Click! "The spotlight flashed, and the pictures of the bodies were exposed on film.

"Who?" A sentry in a raincoat with a gun on his back ran over and pulled the bolt as he went.

"From the Imperial Newspaper, come and interview." Maduro hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, while motioning to the assistant behind him to quickly set up the camera.

"What is this?" The sentry looked at the camera strangely.

"It's ......!

Oh, and this is an observation device for artillery. ”

Maduro is talking nonsense!

"Oh!" The sentry's eyes were full of doubt.

"Brother, where are you from?" Maduro looked at this young sentinel, who was sixteen or seventeen years old at most.

He took an apple from his bosom and handed it to the young sentry.

Last time, the Ming Dynasty killed 500,000 Austro-Hungarian legions at once.

This forced the Austro-Hungarian Empire to relax a lot of restrictions when it conscripted again.

The minimum age for conscription has been lowered to fifteen. The maximum age for conscription has been raised to 55 years old.

Now in the army, there are old and young, either ignorant teenagers, or old men with gray temples.

"I'm Viennese!" The Sentinel took the apple in surprise.

Seeing that there was no one left and right, he took a big bite in embarrassment, ignoring the rain from the apple.

"Oh, listening to your accent, you're Viennese.

I'm also Viennese, so we're fellow villagers.

Can I ask you a few questions? ”

Maduro patted the sentinel's shoulder with some excitement.

Hearing that it was a fellow countryman, the sentry also put down the gun he had been holding and looked at Maduro and nodded.

"Do so many people die every day?" Maduro looked at this piece of corpses, there must be at least a few hundred.

Such casualties made him feel shocked.

Many of the dead were children.

"These are things that can be picked up, and there are so many more in Kursk.

Some were shattered by shells, while others were in the area of fire, and no one was picking them up.

A lot of corpses have been bitten by rats and no one cares. ”

"So miserable? So many people die every day? Marduk was shocked.

"Yesterday morning a division came up, and when it came down in the evening, there were less than a thousand men left.

The day before yesterday was even worse, a division went up in the morning, but it was lost in the afternoon, and as a last resort, another division was transferred up from behind. ”

"Oh God!

The Israelis are not attacking alongside us, and are they suffering heavy casualties? ”

I knew that the casualties on the front line were very large, but I didn't expect that the casualties would be so large.

Filled with one division a day, sometimes two, Marduk was shocked.

"Israelites!

These bitches will only let us help them consume the shells of the Ming army.

Even if it charges, it will follow us.

Their casualties are much smaller than ours. ”

Speaking of Israel's allies, the young sentry was visibly angry.

"How can this be, aren't we attacking together?" Marduk was shocked again, he didn't expect that the soldiers of the empire would be used as cannon fodder by another country.

"The joint attack is that they follow us, and when we are dead, they rush up to fight the Ming army.

I've heard that the Israelis also deliberately let our men walk on streets where Ming army snipers are crowded.

With our lives, find out where there are snipers.

Anyway, it's our business to give our lives, and they take advantage of the benefits. ”

"Then our generals will tolerate them doing this?"

"Generals?

It's not them who go into battle to fight, what does it have to do with them to kill us little soldiers. ”

Speaking of his generals, the sentries also looked indignant.

But indignation to indignation, the apple has been swallowed in the stomach. Even the apple core was chewed and swallowed!

"Little brother, take care of yourself.

I don't have much on me, so I'll give it to you. Marduk took two pieces of black bread out of his bosom and stuffed them into the little fellow's hand.

"Thank you! Thank you!

I haven't eaten bread in a week. ”

"Haven't eaten bread in a week? So what do you eat? ”

"Potatoes!

Eat boiled potatoes every day, sometimes with a little salt. ”

The sentry said as he shoved bread into his mouth.

As Marduk's group left, the sentry kept waving at him.

Riding a transport airship, Marduk and his party returned to Vienna.

Transported back from the front, there was nothing but wounded soldiers.

Marduk: They sat right in the middle of a group of wounded soldiers!

The pod was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and it smelled very good.

The wounded soldiers are not miserable!

Some are missing arms, some are missing legs.

Others were deaf by shells and could not hear at all.

Anyway, all kinds of people with disabilities!

It's just that I didn't see anyone who was shot in the chest, and generally those who were shot in the chest were thrown in the wounded barracks waiting to die.

These people, even if they reached the rear, no one could save them.

The airship landed at the Vienna landing field, and as soon as it came to a stop, Marduk sprang out, and sped to the grass next to it, vomiting heavily.

When I got into the carriage, my nose was still filled with the disgusting smell of blood.

The carriage took Marduk and his party to the newspaper office, and Marduke immediately developed the photos.

Got the photo, Marduk immediately rushed upstairs and knocked on the editor-in-chief's office.

"Come in!" Barker, editor-in-chief of the Imperial Daily, is scrutinizing today's headlines with his head down.

He's the editor-in-chief, so it's natural that he has to make the headlines.

The manuscript should be delivered to the printing house by 12 p.m. and then typeset and printed.

"Buck, see what I've gotten?" Marduk put down the photo in his hand, as well as the press release that he had hastily written on the airship.

When Buck saw it, his eyes lit up.

Gu Yan: "Hmm! This draft is good, but it is ......, but this draft goes against the spirit of the coalition forces.

If you send it, the Imperial Defense Department will get you in trouble.

I think it's better to forget it. Buck pushed the manuscript and photos back to Marduk.

"Your Excellency, the Israelis are too much of a bully.

They use our children as cannon fodder, cannon fodder!

I've seen the children who were killed by the Ming army, and if you look at the photos, they are all young, and they are still children.

The Israelites were so immoral in doing so.

We must draw the attention of the Empire, and His Majesty the King can no longer send our young men to the guns of the Great Ming.

They are the hope of Austria and they are the future of Austria. ”

The more Madek spoke, the more agitated he became, and he remembered the sentry standing guard in the rain.

He was so young, so thin.

How can a person who gnaws potatoes all day not be thin.

They don't know when, they're going to die. Before he died, he couldn't even eat a full meal.

"I know! I know all of this, but Marduk. Do you know how many people in the upper echelons of the empire had an unclear relationship with the Hebrews?

This kind of press release must never be issued.

I didn't see it! ”

Buck hesitated, but returned the press release.

"Editor-in-Chief! You're going to save the kids, they're really miserable, they're pitiful. ”

Marduk pleaded.

"I am not very satisfied with today's headline press release, but there is no way but to make a speech by His Majesty the Emperor.

Marduk, I remember the director of the printing house, was your classmate at the Imperial University. ”

Buck looked at Marduk slyly.

“……！” Marduk was a little puzzled, and looked at the editor-in-chief Buck blankly.

"Ahh Your photo is as big as this one, and your press release is about the same word count as this one. ”

Buck's hand gestured at the place of the front page.

"Editor-in-chief, what do you mean ......!"

Marduk still didn't understand what Buck was trying to do.

Seeing that Marduk was not on the road like this, Buck had no choice but to look around like a thief.

"What I tell you below, I won't admit it when others ask me." Buck said solemnly to Marduk.

Marduk's eyes were straight, and he didn't know what the editor-in-chief was going to do.

"If, I mean if. You can convince your classmates to replace this front-page headline with your manuscript and photos, and I can't help it.

Anyway, I've got all the space in place, it's the same size as your photo, and about the same word count as your manuscript.

I don't know about it, I don't know anything. You did it all in private!

If something happens, I won't protect you, and I won't help you carry it, it's all up to you.

You...... Do it yourself. ”

Buck spread his hands out, looking helpless.

“……！” Marduk couldn't say a word.

It's a way, but ...... But it's a little too big to take on your own responsibilities.

But I think of the corpses, of the childish-faced sentinel.

The wounded soldiers on the airship who kept screaming and moaning ......!

"Okay, I'll figure it out, thank you." Marduk was determined to get the matter done.

The children of Austria must not be allowed to die so miserably.

Buck nodded, watching Marduk walk out of his office.

As soon as Marduk walked out of the office, Buck immediately smiled.

He picked up the phone: "Hey!

Bierhoff!

See you at the old tavern in a moment, there is good news for you. ”

I put on my coat and top hat. Buck left his office, went downstairs into his carriage, and headed straight for Carinthia Street.

The carriage stopped in front of an old tavern around the corner, and Nako got out of the carriage, pushed it open and walked into the bar.

I said hello to the bartender and walked straight to the warehouse at the back of the tavern.

Walking down the stairs, another door opened.

The basement is spacious, somewhat like a luxurious private room.

There was an oil lamp lit in the private room, and a balding old fellow was already sitting down, sipping whiskey without a sip.

"Pour me a glass too!" Buck excitedly took off his coat and hung his top hat on the hanger.

"What's the good news." Bierhoff looked at Buck as he poured his wine.

"The plan was successful, and Marduk, with that tendon, dug up the good news on the front line.

This time, we must set off a frenzy of public opinion.

Forced His Majesty the Emperor to suspend combat operations against Kursk.

At least, it was also Austria-Hungary that withdrew from the battle alone. ”

Buck took the whiskey and took a big sip of it excitedly, and his face was numb and stiff from the cold, and it immediately became hot.

"This is really good news, and I don't know how to explain it to Mr. Zheng.

The front line is actually exhausted, Prussia ......"

"Now it's called Deutschland!" Buck corrected.

"Yes, Germany!

The Germans did not contribute to the work, and there was a ceasefire with the Ming people on the northern front.

The French also suffered heavy losses on the southern front.

Now it was also unable to attack, and withdrew to the west bank of the Severodonetsk River.

The offensive on the southern and northern fronts has stopped, and the only one still fighting is Kursk on the central front.

If Austria-Hungary withdrew from the battle, the Israelis would not last long.

The battle on the Central Front is almost over. ”

Bierhoff was excited.

"Great!

There is a lot of rain in the spring in Ukraine, and the front line is almost a big mud pond.

As long as there is a truce on the central front, both sides will have time to breathe.

In this way, it is more beneficial to Daming.

Since listening to Mr. Zheng's speech, I really hope that Austria will become as rich as the Ming Dynasty. ”

"But to become rich, you have to change my system. Overthrow our Emperor!

The Emperor would only rely on the nobles and exploit the common people of Austria.

With them, how could Austria become rich and free. ”

"So we have to help Mr. Zheng, we have to help Daming.

You haven't been to Daming, but I did.

In the capital of the Ming Dynasty, there were tall telephone poles on both sides of the streets, on which were very bright electric lights.

As long as it is dark in the night, these electric lights will automatically light up everyone who walks.

Pedestrians on the street, everyone on a bicycle.

In the summer, the alleys are full of people sitting drinking and eating meat.

In universities, young people are learning a variety of knowledge every day.

Even the children of their common people are able to sit in school and read and write.

What a beautiful picture!

As long as we change our system and learn from the Ming Dynasty, we in Austria will one day become like that. ”
