Along the long border, a group of soldiers patrolling at night are walking forward with their heads depressed. The war is getting closer and closer, and the sadness in the hearts of these young soldiers is becoming stronger and stronger.
No one likes war, and no one wants war to come, especially these soldiers at the bottom. The word cannon fodder may be too cruel, but this is the fact. The basic unit infantry is cannon fodder. Each shell is enough to make dozens of people disappear and turn into broken limbs and arms on the ground, which can''t spell a complete human form. They are also the children of their parents, loved by their families, but their lives are worthless on the battlefield.
In recent days, the number of night patrols has become more and more frequent. Everyone''s heart is heavy and always has a hunch that something bad will happen. Every day is a new life and a new journey to hell. The young soldier walking in the middle of the team suddenly asked, "can we really start a war? Can we not start a war?", he suddenly felt that he might have said something wrong and quickly added, "I mean, if we can use peaceful means to solve disputes, we''d better not start a war."
No one in the team laughed at him because others thought so. In fact, although they obey the requirements of their superiors and respect the choice of the federal government, they may not have no idea of complaining about the federal government at all. It''s only a matter of a few people, but it uses the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to maintain the dignity of a few people and a few people. Is this exchange worth it?
No one spoke, and the soldier who spoke stopped talking. A group of people continued to walk forward for about 20 minutes. When they could see the next outpost, the leading soldier suddenly stopped, and the faces of several other veterans became a little strange. They are not recruits, conscripts or recruits forcibly recruited into the army. They have experienced joint exercises and know that when there is a slight vibration under their feet, it means that large-scale war machinery is moving rapidly.
"What''s the matter?", the recruit who just spoke asked suspiciously. He couldn''t see the faces of these veterans in the night, but he was a little flustered in his heart. He couldn''t help blurting out and asked.
The veterans kept silent. After about twenty seconds, the captain shouted an urgent March and immediately ran. The recruits don''t understand what happened, but it''s always right to run with the captain. When they run into the sentry, a sharp scream suddenly comes out of their ears.
The whole post was blown up, and the sound of explosion came from the ears of some soldiers with intact heads.
There was no special effect of fire, and there was no hint of people running and shouting to lie down. The shrapnel shot out and the bricks exploded at the post swept all the "standing" things within a radius of 30 meters.
There''s war!
The Empire declared war in the middle of the night. In the moonlight, a large area of war machinery moved 12 huge mechanical arms and quickly rushed towards the border. On the weapon carrying platform of these war machinery, a cannon kept emitting strong smoke, just like the devil in the night.
The camp on the federal border immediately remembered the harsh warning sound. A large number of soldiers rushed out of the camp and rushed to the front line with weapons. Hundreds of flares suddenly rose in the sky, and the war completely started.
At the same time, the Empire announced to all known countries by telephone and telegraph that the Empire officially declared war on the Federation and entered a state of war from now on.
An hour later, Mr. sail was woken up. He rubbed his face and sat up from the bed. Without looking back, he asked, "what happened?"
The housekeeper outside the door whispered, "the war broke out. The Empire didn''t declare war until half an hour after the war broke out. I think I should tell you."
Mr. sail was in a trance for a moment and sighed, "thank you. I see. Help me prepare my clothes and car. I''m going to the parliament building." after the housekeeper answered and left, Mr. sail stood up. He simply took a bath, then changed his clothes and got into the car.
While in the car, he began to think about how to deal with the next situation. Although the war was directed by him to some extent by forcing the Empire to cooperate with him, how the war ended after it really broke out may not be performed according to the script. He opened the box. No one knew what was in the box, and no one knew how to close the box. Once the war begins, many things will deviate from the planned track. If the Federation can''t sustain the previous rounds of attacks, maybe the Empire will fake it.
Just like... More than 20 years ago, magus''s plan at that time was to use the federal invasion to consume a large number of unstable defeated ethnic populations, send the young and middle-aged of these defeated ethnic groups to the battlefield to die, and stabilize the environment at the grass-roots level of imperial society. When the new generation of young people grow up, most of them will forget their country, culture and everything they were proud of, and regard themselves as an imperial man. The plan did not include a long drive to the periphery of the imperial capital. The original script was to fight a war of attrition within the Empire.
The Empire sent the young and strong of these defeated nations to the battlefield, and the Federation was to coordinate and alleviate domestic contradictions and pressures by exporting war.
But after the war broke out, the federal side found that the Empire''s border line and resistance were almost equal to no, backward system, old armament and corrupt system, which were not as powerful as the Empire usually showed. Insiders and uninformed people are moved. Since the empire is so empty, why not try to conquer this country? So the script was revised for the first time. The Federation began to add drama for itself and strengthen the main vanguard Corps. It didn''t stop until it reached Otis city. As for why not fight, because they really can''t fight.
The backward transportation made the logistical support extremely troublesome. The cut-off supply line made the pioneer Corps trapped in the area of Otis city. The fully awakened Empire transferred the Elite Corps of the north and had the ability to counterattack. At this time, if we continue to fight, we will lose the original meaning of the war, so the two sides came to the negotiating table.
Now the situation is almost exactly the same as that more than 20 years ago. The war launched by a few people makes most ignorant people pay the bill, but will the other party really act according to the script?
Mr. sail is not sure that magus and the people behind him may not be so friendly. It will be a test from hell.
