Blackstone Code

Chapter 1728: another year

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but the firepower of the Gafra people is much fiercer than before!"

In the trenches, a soldier of the Pontgio Empire watched the flickering gunfire behind the fortifications in the distance. He couldn't help but retract his head and squatted in the trenches, sharing cheap cigarettes with his comrades.

Cigarettes are an important supply for the armies of various countries, which can soothe the anxiety of the soldiers to a great extent.

Of course, during special operations, such as night battles, smoking is not allowed.

Other times... no one cares about this!

The soldiers beside him also nodded, "I always feel that they are working very hard today. It seems that this is not my job!"

On the iron barrel defense line behind them, the gunfire in the machine guns has hardly been extinguished!

Except for a pause when changing the barrel, most of the time it's been strafing!

In fact, no one would be so stupid to rush directly to the defense line. Before those fortifications were destroyed by artillery shells, they were still fighting positional warfare.

The artillery of the two sides kept bombarding each other, and the planes in the sky were also fighting with each other, and there was gunpowder everywhere.

There might be some corpses of comrades in sight, but the men in the trenches didn't think about crawling out and hauling them back.

If they are not careful, they will become another corpse.

Just as he was talking, a shell fell on the edge of the trench, and the sand was blown up in an instant, and then fell quickly.

The two people talking lowered their heads, and when no more sand fell, they continued to chat as if nothing had happened.

"They've been on fire since this morning, maybe they've realized something, it's just a near-death resistance!"

The soldier who spoke first spoke arrogantly. In his opinion, no matter how fierce the firepower of the Gafra people is now, the final result will not change!

They have no other way to go except defeat!

The news of the need to focus on opening up the war zone in Amelia has spread in the army, and some people say that the army chief assured the emperor of the empire that the war in the Amelia region will be completely quelled before January 1 next year!

In other words, there are still... more than three months!

Millions of soldiers will be put here, and I am afraid that there will not be enough people here!

Another soldier also agreed with this point of view, "In fact, even if there are no people behind, we can break through here sooner or later!"

As they spoke, another fighter jet was shot down in black smoke, and then a plume of black smoke rose from a distance that could not be seen.

The two became silent because it was Pengio's fighter jet, and they could see the spray under the plane's wings.

If there was anything that made Pengio's soldiers feel a little imperfect, it had to be the Air Force!

So far, according to the real-time statistics of the battlefield, the Pentio Air Force has lost an average of 2.13 Pentio fighters in order to defeat a Federal fighter!

This battle loss rate is a bit staggering, but there is no good way. I can only hope that the scientists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences will not waste the funds of the Empire.

Just then, the horn in the tunnel sounded an order from the rear officer to evacuate.

The counterattacks within the line of defense were too strong, and they did not gain air supremacy, so the armored forces could not launch an attack for the time being.

The infantrymen who were waiting in the trenches for the armored troops to enter first and then pounce on them naturally had no chance to climb out of the trenches.

The attitude of Gafra suddenly became very firm, which made the command think that the situation might have changed, so it temporarily evacuated the war zone.

Soldiers in the trenches are carrying things and bending over to move quickly and fight positional warfare. The trenches are an indispensable part, and the facts have proved that it is really useful!

Even if there are tanks, armored vehicles, and even planes, the role of trenches in positional warfare is still irreplaceable!

The attack of the Pengios was repelled, which greatly improved the morale behind the iron barrel defense.

The withdrawal of the ground troops, but the air engagement is not over, and only after the ground troops have been completely withdrawn will Pongio's air force withdraw.

The appearance of the aircraft has brought a lot of changes to the battlefield. In the past, when the infantry was withdrawn, it basically meant that the fighting stopped.

But now that there are planes, the pursuit ability of the plane is too strong, and the battle terminator has also changed from the retreat of the infantry to the retreat of the air force.

Inside the line of defense, the soldiers had already cheered, and some people even felt that Penggio's army was nothing special at this moment. Wasn't they repelled?

The defending soldiers asked their superiors if it was time to sound the horn for a counterattack.

Their superior reassured them, saying yes.

But only they themselves know that the horn of the counterattack has not sounded, but they are about to withdraw from here.

When His Excellency the Prime Minister asked the officers of the Federal Ministry of Defence some time ago what they should do first, the officers of the Ministry of Defence gave him a standard answer.

First of all, we must increase the firepower output on the defense line, and let the Pengios have an idea, maybe they plan to counterattack!

Only in this way will Pongio's army not recklessly try to pull the defensive force of the iron barrel defense line. If they make a mistake, they may really be beaten back.

After creating the desire to fight back, they need to prepare for withdrawal.

In fact, some people have already started to build simple military bases in the mountains at this time. Hundreds of thousands of people have withdrawn into the mountains, relying on some natural dangers for defense, and it is impossible for these people to really live on the natural dangers!

They still live in tents or caves most of the time, and don't need to be outside all the time except when they're working.

But all of this needs to be done by someone, and some equipment is being dismantled, packed, and may be transported away at any time.

The Prime Minister has persuaded the Prime Minister's Cabinet and the big nobles in the country, and made them understand that even if the Commonwealth can support them, they will also withdraw.

In that discussion, the Prime Minister even put forward a rigid requirement to increase national defense construction.

When he went to the Federation this time, he had a deep feeling.

It is not without reason that the Commonwealth has caught up from an obscure, backward country.

This is not the choice of God, but the result of hard work.

The three-dimensional sand table of the Ministry of Defense reflects this!

Up to now, the gentlemen of Gavra are still looking at military maps that most people can't understand. They don't know why those things with obvious regular structures that shrink in circles are mountains.

There may be some people who hold a very strange view that as long as the officers can understand it is enough.

But war is not just a matter of officers, it is a matter of the whole country!

From some details, you can feel the obvious gap, and Your Excellency the Prime Minister also realizes that it is useless to rely on anyone, and it is always better to rely on yourself in the end!

Therefore, rebuilding the national defense force is his next important national policy. He acquired those old soldiers who just started to retreat after seeing no hope of victory!

He can't stand those **** on the battlefield with a cup of tea!

The changes in the battlefield of Amelia are happening quietly, and the fierce counterattack of the Gefra people has not made the Pengios realize that their opponents are about to abandon the long line of defense that has cost a lot of money to build for a long time!

You know, once they lose these fortifications, it means that the Pengios will take them and use them in turn against the Gefras!

They never thought so!

Time has passed quietly and unknowingly, and the Federal Industrial Index, which has risen for three consecutive months, has also begun to become relatively stable. There is no big surprise to the Federation during this period.

Everything is under control!

On the contrary, the World Development Council has added several new members!

When a world organization shows stronger power on the world stage, someone will naturally join the organization.

Whether it is here or any other world, there are only a few who reach out to help others in times of crisis. Most people just stand by and applaud when others succeed!

Lynch, also on his twenty-seventh birthday.

Time is really fast!

The heroine of this year's birthday party is still Catherine. Catherine has successfully stepped onto the federal political stage, and as women are more integrated into society, they have begun to play more roles!

The new round of liberation of the female labor force, initiated by Landa and feminist organizations, went very smoothly, and a large number of women entered the factory.

Some may have been out of work for more than ten or twenty years, but they still entered the factory and contributed to the country.

By the way, it also solved their financial problems!

Society has also begun to actively give these women enough respect!

Commonwealth society is a **** reality, not only are female voters underrepresented in past statistics, but they are "useless votes" for most politicians.

Because women voters do not decide who they choose, but their husbands or their children.

Women's status in society is low, and they do not have the right to make their own choices.

But now it's different.

When more women started working, earning income and living without men, the number of independent female voters began to surge.

They don't know much about politics, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com doesn't know much about politicians, but Catherine and Tracy, who have been talked about by feminist organizations all day, became their first choice for voting.

Some people have talked about this issue and thought that a new era of female voters is coming!

The reason is also very simple. Two or three million young adults have joined the army, and at least a similar number of voters have become women.

Whoever pleases the women gets those votes.

The Progressive Party and the Conservative Party have also begun to try to promote some female politicians to appear.

In a short period of time, these people may not have the opportunity to enter the political arena, but it will not be long before they will enter people's attention.

Of course, there were some minor accidents on Lynch's birthday this year. Penny took the initiative to come and help. It seemed that she was not at all hostile to Catherine, and she took the initiative to do something for her.

As a result, the next day, a tabloid reported that Lynch's private life was eroded, and he maintained an intimate relationship with multiple women on the same bed at the same time...
