Chapter 865 People are the future

  Chapter 865: People are the future

  . The flying fire rain was 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 high temperature, no living thing could survive.

  Even red soil.

  That was a more direct harm than radioactive dust.

  Looking at the burning land in front of him, Wolfe, the captain of the 360,000-man team, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a smile involuntarily rose at the corner of his mouth, but soon retracted it.

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

  Facing the joint encirclement and suppression of three 10,000-man teams, the other side actually destroyed their supply lines at the high cost of war.

  What’s more terrible is that this is just an armored thousand-man team of the alliance!

  Even if the number is a little more, it can only be regarded as a “reinforced formation” at most, and it can never make up the establishment of a 10,000-man team.

  No matter how the triumphant report rhetoricizes them, it is difficult for the battle report to lie.

  And it is hard to say whether the triumphant report will help them this time 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 let them offend.

  He comforted himself in his heart that as long as he won the final victory, all those who seemed to be in harmony but were actually at odds with each other would change their minds.

  But how long will it take to win?

  This is just the beginning.

  Who knows what else is waiting for them ahead.

  Looking at the gradually extinguished flame, the staff officer sitting next to him pulled the corner of his mouth lightly.

  ”…It’s finally over.”

  The difficulty of the opponent was far beyond his imagination.

  ”Well.”

  Wolf nodded, without saying a word, just looking at it expressionlessly.

  Glancing at him sideways, the staff officer whispered.

  ”Their technological progress is faster than we thought. According to the intelligence provided by our allies in the east, they only took out a vehicle-mounted electromagnetic gun as their trump card in the previous battle, but this time they equipped a whole armored unit.”

  After a pause, he continued.

  ”I reasonably suspect that they have more… This is a threat to us.”

  The spaced armor of Conqueror No. 10 has almost absolute defense against armor-piercing shells, and armor-piercing shells are almost the limit that most survivors can achieve with primitive industrial technology.

  As for kinetic artillery, conventional calibers and charges can’t even touch the gap layer of armor, and it can be easily defended by the hard shell alone.

  It is precisely because of this that the indestructible armor of Conqueror No. 10 is an insurmountable “Wall of Sighs” for most survivors.

  In order to defend against some “free-falling bombs” thrown from abandoned high-rise buildings and adapt to the security battles in urban environments, they even specially strengthened the top cover of the turret!

  However, all these targeted designs became a joke in front of weapons designed based on new technical principles.

  The electromagnetic cannons of the Alliance penetrated one by one, and the statically charged shells would cause a string of brilliant sparks as long as they hit the ammunition racks, which was one of the reasons why their armored formations were blown up continuously.

  Theoretically, the penetration effect of electromagnetic guns is adjustable. If special warheads are installed, they can even break through air resistance, and the damage effect is really unlimited.

  What is worrying is that it is said that the South China Sea Alliance seems to have this technology and has used it on battleships.

  In the past, they did not take the group of fishermen in the southern sea seriously, but with the arrival of the alliance, the group of starfish huddled on the island suddenly stood up and now began to walk out.

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

  In order to deal with this unprecedented threat, they should at least jump out of the design ideas of the “Conqueror” series and develop new equipment based on new “tactical needs”.

  These preparations should have been made before the war, but he did not see them.

  While their opponents were seriously thinking about their equipment, the top leaders of the Legion simply purchased a large number of “Conqueror” No. 10 from the Eastern Legion.

  Maybe the top brass still had other cards in their hands, or they didn’t expect to win by relying on the advantage of the armored forces from the beginning, but put their chips on other cards, but the current battle situation did make him feel a little worried.

  Although he also had no doubt that the Willant people would win in the end, he couldn’t help but worry whether they were a little too confident, and even ignored the objective laws of development of things.

  Even if he never said it less.

  ”…It’s just a tactical threat,” the adjutant corrected, grinning, and continued disapprovingly, “Strategically it’s another matter. Just like now, whether it’s an electromagnetic cannon or something else, the final result is only a pool of molten iron. Even if they win ten times, Lion City is now in our hands.”

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

  He has absolute confidence in this.

  Even if the opponent’s electromagnetic cannon is a little stronger, it can’t make up for the gap in firepower between the two sides!

  ”That’s right,” the staff officer did not refute his statement, but asked back, “But what if they want other cards?”

  The adjutant smiled.

  ”Are you talking about the phase cannon? That kind of thing is indeed a threat, but we are not unprepared.”

  The staff officer shook his head.

  ”I’m just afraid it’s something else.”

  ”What is it?”

  ”I don’t know.”

  Hearing this ambiguous answer, the adjutant was stunned.

  ”I don’t know?” The staff officer

  nodded, looking solemn.

  ”Not knowing is the most terrifying… Haven’t you discovered that our opponents know us, but we have never tried to understand them.”

  He always had a feeling that the Alliance had infiltrated them.

  This was not surprising.

  There were many Willant people who were hostile to the Alliance, but there were also many who had a good impression of them.

  These people were the easiest to bribe.

  Even without bribery, those people were willing to help them.

  Whether they admitted it or not, such groups existed in the Legion, and as their actions became more and more crazy, the resistance to resistance was also constantly expanding.

  On the other hand, the Legion had a hard time hiring a brewer from Dawn City to work in Avent, let alone bribe him

  …

  The boiling flames turned the enemy into ashes, and finally resolved the anger in everyone’s heart.

  Not only did the commander in the command vehicle relax his frown, but the soldiers of the 360,000th Squadron also relaxed their tense shoulders and lowered their raised guns.

  It was a really fierce battle. The arcs that suddenly flashed in the darkness and the turrets that flew into the sky almost became an indelible nightmare in their hearts.

  The flames in the distance gradually died out.

  Just as everyone was preparing to withdraw, a stumbling figure suddenly appeared in the dark wilderness.

  The man’s arms were tied tightly with ropes, and he walked on the muddy land with a step that was not aware of his relatives, as if he might fall to the ground at any time.

  The reconnaissance team on the front line first discovered him.

  Several Willant soldiers standing next to the reconnaissance vehicle exchanged glances and saw surprise in each other’s eyes.

  There is actually someone alive? !

  ”Captain, there’s a living person!”

  ”…Looks like one of ours.”

  The centurion sitting in the car frowned and observed through the telescope of the electric machine gun.

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

  Whether it was the high nose bridge or the military uniform, it told his identity.

  This guy was his compatriot.

  Although he hoped very much that he was not.

  ”Stop!”

  When the man came closer, the centurion got off the car himself and pointed his gun at him to stop.

  ”I… cough cough! My name is Quincy… I’m one of ours!”

  The face of the young man named Quincy was full of fear, his eyes were empty like coal balls, and his face was covered with dust and looked like a slug.

  He didn’t want to be like this.

  But he was really scared.

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

  It was completely different from the scene seen in the exercise. It was not that he was charging towards the shells, but that the shells were flying towards him.

  The burning white phosphorus almost touched his heels. He almost died in the hands of his own people after escaping from the jaws of death!

  ”Your number.”

  The centurion stared at him intently, looking at his cowardly appearance, with contempt in his eyes.

  ”34th Mechanized Infantry Team… 3000th…”

  ”3000th what? You can’t even tell me your number?” The centurion stared at him coldly, lowering the muzzle of his gun, “And your exoskeleton, your equipment, where the hell did they go? Did you give it to someone else?”

  ”…Yes, maybe in the fire.” Quincy swallowed hard, not daring to say that it might have been picked up by the guerrillas.

  The centurion didn’t care at all, just looked at him with contempt.

  ”Oh, really? Then why aren’t you in there?”

  ”I…”

  ”I’m so ashamed of you, a weak bastard like you is actually our compatriot.”

  The centurion pulled out a captured pistol from the waist of a subordinate beside him, threw it in front of the wild dog-like guy, and said with disgust.

  ”We in the 360,000th Corps don’t have a coward like you. We would rather die on the battlefield than surrender.”

  He said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said everything. He quietly looked at the frightened young man in front of him.

  The same was true for the Willant people next to him.

  At first, they felt a little sympathetic to this poor fellow, but after listening to the captain’s words, they were not so sympathetic.

  This cowardly guy turned out to be a Willant?

  It really stained their noble blood!

  It would be better to shoot himself and die in the hands of the enemy. He could be considered a warrior.

  Quincy picked up the pistol on the ground with trembling hands and put it against his chin, but his index finger seemed to be filled with lead. He shook for a long time but didn’t have the courage to pick it up.

  He looked at his compatriots standing around him pleadingly, hoping that they would stop him, but he found that they were just looking at him jokingly, as if urging him to hurry up.

  Why is this so?

  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 people after escaping death.

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

  ”Ahhh!!!”

  He finally mustered up the courage, and pulled the trigger, but only heard a crisp “clang”.

  The crisp sound made his head buzz, as if he was kicked by a donkey.

  There was no bullet in the gun chamber…

  He was fooled.

  Even if he was stupid, he reacted and realized that these old soldiers were just playing him for fun.

  Quincy looked at those guys blankly, and suddenly all the strength in his body seemed to be drained away, and he fell to the ground with a plop.

  The Willant soldiers looked at the coward with a last mocking look, and without saying a word, they turned back to the car, started the engine and drove away.

  The soldier sitting in the driver’s seat had been watching, and glanced at the figure that disappeared in the rearview mirror, with a look of pity on his face.

  ”Are we not going to care about that guy?”

  Before the centurion spoke, another young man sitting next to him pouted and laughed.

  ”Do you want to ride in the same car with that mud man?”

  The fireman carrying a machine gun also laughed and teased.

  ”He has already run here, let him keep running, maybe he can run back to Triumph City.”

  ”Hahaha!”

  The car was filled with unbridled laughter.

  The young men of the 360,000th team returned to the camp with the glory of annihilating the alliance ace, even though this tough battle made them lose a lot of things.

  At the same time, on the other side, in the north of Sulak County, the 170,000th team stationed there finally joined forces with the reinforcements in the rear and launched an invasion of the Dog State in the three northern states again! The

  Moon Clan resistance stationed on the border of the Dog State only put up limited resistance and then evacuated the battlefield.

  As planned, they decided to use mobile warfare to counter the Legion’s offensive.

  Lengthen the opponent’s supply line as much 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.

  However, in this way, their battle report is indeed a bit ugly, and the front line is almost “collapsing at the touch of a button”.

  Compared with the steady Lassi, Abusek is obviously much more impatient.

  If the elite troops of the alliance had not arrived in Tiandu, he might have learned from Sharuk to run away.

  Tiandu is well connected. To the south is his hometown, Langzhou, and to the east is Xiangzhou, where the weather is good and the harvest is good.

  There are still places to run if you want to run. If you really can’t, you can go to Jinjialun Port to live as a private official.

  The whole Tiandu City is in a panic.

  And just when everyone wants to leave, there is a person who can leave but doesn’t leave.

  The office of the Commander’s Mansion.

  Yisher stood in front of the desk and said to Abusek who was sitting behind the desk.

  ”I want to go to the front line.”

  Abusek stopped writing and looked up at the young man.

  He had some impression of this guy, who seemed to be the slippery man of Anwo.

  A few days ago, Anwo sent a telegram to transfer his former subordinates to Kinggallon Port to help.

  He didn’t need to stop such a small matter, and he also needed someone to go to Kinggallon Port to complain for him, so he approved it with a wave of his hand.

  But what he didn’t expect was that when the day came, Yisher didn’t leave.

  ”Go to the front line? Go to the front line at this time, have you thought it through?”

  Looking at Abusek who seemed to be smiling, Yisher nodded seriously.

  ”I have thought it through.”

  ”Okay, you have ambition! Then I won’t keep you, you can go with the people of the alliance.”

  After a pause, Abusek’s eyes turned, and then he continued.

  ”Your military rank is too low and does not match your ability. From now on, you are a captain of ten thousand men, responsible for rebuilding the third ten thousand men who were broken up!”

  Yisher stood up straight, with his right fist close to his chest.

  ”Thank you for the promotion, commander-in-chief!”

  Abusek smiled and waved his hand.

  ”This is not a good job. Don’t try too hard. Just familiarize yourself with the new recruits… Forget it, I believe you understand. You can do it yourself.”

  Isher knew what he wanted to say, and also knew why he temporarily promoted himself to the rank of captain of ten thousand men and stuffed a bunch of new recruits who needed training into him.

  And he used the old number of the third ten thousand men who sacrificed the most heroically.

  Although the commander-in-chief was very dissatisfied with Anwo’s self-willed decision in Xifan Port, he still regarded them as his subordinates in his heart.

  In other words, he was protecting his shortcomings.

  Everyone knew that the front line was a fire pit now, and it was the kind that no matter how much firewood was thrown, it would not be enough to fill it. He would at least hint that he should not go, and if he couldn’t persuade him, he would think of a way to protect him.

  Isher nodded, expressed his sincere gratitude, and then turned and left the office.

  Looking at the young man who turned and left, Abusek, who was not old, sighed in a mature manner.

  ”…We are not all cunning, there are still two good guys.”

  But it’s a pity.

  In the land of Borneo, good people usually don’t have a good ending.

  A few months is not enough, a few years is not enough, at least decades, or even hundreds of years.

  One day, a jerk like me will be pointed at by a good person with a gun, and this Borneo will be saved.

  Abusek smiled and shook his head, picked up the pen, and continued to write at the desk.

  [… To Kabaha, the education committee member. ]

  [I think the university thing is feasible, but the Borneo treasury really has no spare money. You have to give me two years to wait, and I will consider this money as my debt to you. ]

  [In addition, I heard that Mr. Rat has established a Mammoth State University in Mammoth State, recruiting students from the entire Borneo Province. In this case, we might as well borrow their classrooms and desks first, and have a “joint school” to teach our students in their place. ]

  [You cultural people should communicate more, just like Laxi and I can chat. If you pull your face down, I think Mr. Rat will definitely not refuse, and you can’t curse me out of money. 】

  【It’s a day of constant bombing, it’s really not a place to teach and educate people. Besides, it’s a pity to destroy the repaired teaching building, it’s better to rebuild it after it’s destroyed. 】

  【Just take my approval for the university matter, select the students of the right age first, the budget is not enough to build a building, but it’s enough to organize a few exams and collect some travel expenses and living expenses. Remember to pick out the real talents and send them to Mammoth University to study with the teachers there, and they will be our teachers after they have learned. We are not afraid that they will not come back in the future, but we are afraid that they will follow the old rough guys like us into the trenches and never come back… Whether it’s Borneo or Mammoth, those talents are our future. 】

  【You are the only one who will be in charge of this matter. If any sly guy dares to come to me by your side, I will skin him alive! 】
