Sinmonger Chapter 5: War in Europe

2101, June 11, other book friends are reading: Xiao Zhicheng's latest chapter. Netizen update

Under the Empire, about one-third of Europe was at war.

This part of the planet may be home to some of the most warlike people in the human world. From the end of the Middle Ages, several crusades under the pretext of religion, to the 30-year-old anti-Habsburg melee that also evolved from a religious struggle in the seventeenth century, to Global colonial expansion and colonial scramble at the end of the nineteenth century.

The genes of plunder are deeply planted in this land, no matter how loudly the rhetoric such as "spread religion" or "grant civilization" is sung, after stripping the false pretense, the invasion of distant colonies and the European princes In the final analysis, the motives of the internal disputes stem from political contradictions and territorial division.

In World War II Germany, there was a man who pushed things to the limit. I think his ambition may be to unify the earth, but he failed, was nailed to a cross called justice, was forever reviled by the world, regarded as a beast, a tyrant, and became a victim of the victors when they wrote history. Looking back, he wasn't all that different either. The expansion of the British Empire once reached a quarter of the world; France once spread all over Europe during Louis XIV; history repeats itself in the cycle of killing and conflict, and war is the strongest force driving the times forward.

And war must have its dark side. Stories like the "beautiful woman in the world" are very far from ordinary people, so far away that they don't even need to be imagined. The suffering of the people and the fragility of their lives are the most real and terrifying aspects of war.

Man is a very terrifying animal, a sinful creature. When they take up arms and gain strength, they will perform animal acts that go far beyond their instinctual needs. Burning, looting, flogging, coercion, slaughter... If there are undisciplined violent soldiers, they are basically no different from bandits. Even a well-trained regular army may not be able to prevent these things from happening.

War drives people crazy, and in that environment, humanity will be wiped out, civilization trampled, and life withered. Once the war comes, the poorest will always be the people, and many of them are forced to take up arms. They will apply the misfortune and hatred they have encountered to the enemy thousands of times.

Someone said something like this: People are not wrong, it is the war that is wrong. But I think there is nothing wrong with war, it is people who are wrong. Even if one day robots and humans go to war, it will never be more cruel than the battle between humans.

The gears of time are turning, and human history and civilization are progressing. By the 22nd century, the impact of war on civilians has gradually diminished. In the period after the reunification of the empire, with the collective decline of religions, the unified planning policy of the planet's population, etc., the concepts of racial and ethnic differences have basically disappeared in people's minds after a hundred years. The development of technology has also made the opportunity for soldiers to face each other very rarely.

The massacre of civilians is something no one would do these days. No matter which commander of the team, if he issued such an order, 90% of them may be considered to be mentally ill or psychopathic, and the possibility of mutiny is relatively high. big. However, it is unavoidable for the people to be exposed to bō and the like when they are on the battlefield.

…………

In mid-June, the war in Europe is in full swing.

A few months ago, Steel Commandment launched troops from Crown County and Red Lion County at the same time. At this stage, they have basically stably controlled the media and military and political offices throughout the two counties, and took over the local public security management obligations and administrative power. .

The county of Oak, located in the north of Red Lion County, and the cities of Tarbes and Bayonne in the south were also at stake, becoming the forefront of the entire European battlefield during this period.

On the other front, the main force of the Crown County of the Iron Commandments and the HL European Headquarters of Crystal County fell into a stalemate. The strong strength of Crystal County HL also protected Oak County from the side. The Eastern Front was not breached.

It can be said that at this moment, the eyes of the whole of Europe, and even the whole world, are looking at the two small towns in the southwest of Oak County. Once there is breached, the south of Oak County will soon be controlled by the Iron Commandments, then their two armies of Red Lion County and Crown County can merge in the southeast of Oak County. The Empire had to transfer troops from all over Europe to the northern parts of Crystal County and Oak County for defense.

Then the war will escalate in size and change in nature, and other book lovers are watching: Pretty Girls. From a rebel mutiny in two European counties, it developed into a large-scale war between two military forces throughout Western Europe.

Previously in Africa, the Yanwu Alliance had won three or four not-so-big counties, South Africa had become a real occupied area for the empire, and Asia's largest Long County, including Shuangying County The southern part of the city is also under the attack of the combined army of white lightning as the main force and the Steel Commandments, and it is gradually becoming uncontrollable.

If this battle in Europe escalates, it will undoubtedly turn into an all-out war on a world scale. If the war faced by the empire ends in failure, then even if the remaining power of the empire can sit on the final defense line of Tiandu, this planet is likely to return to an era of multi-national separatism. Collective desire, the first country to perish at that time can only be an empire.

There are also people in the upper echelons of the empire who have seen the changes in the current situation, but unfortunately, their voices have not yet become mainstream. In the imperial court, there are too many people who are wise enough to protect themselves. So far, there are still many people who deceive themselves and think that the rebellion in various places will subside in a few months at most, and there is no need to worry about it.

And the nobles and royal families from all over the country seem to have too much confidence in the empire. Even the nobles of Red Lion County and Crown County only left these two counties after the war started. They fled to other counties to continue their normal lives. As for those who were unfortunately arrested, naturally they could not escape the "trial" of the steel commandment, and of course most of them ended in death penalty. Fortunately, these days, there are no clansmen and nine tribes, nor will they send the female relatives of noble families to be prostitutes, and the youngest sons will be captured and exiled.

This is a kind of progress, a manifestation of the political maturity of the resistance organization. Whether it is the Yanwu Alliance, the Freedom Frontline, or the Steel Commandment, as long as it is a vassal of a party that can become a climate, it is quite sensitive to its image among the people. of. Even though many of the things they did when they were operating in the dark were similar to terrorists, during the occupation period, the administration must be strict, and there must be no signs of ** similar to the empire.

This approach of rebellion is a red flag. In the past, there was a guy who claimed to be the second son of God. After pulling up a team and laying down a little bit of land, his wife grabbed nearly a hundred of them. One day, the emperor, after doing a lot of bandit business, Lin Pao'er also set the palace on fire. People like this are not terrible. They are not big enough to sit on the world.

But today's resistance organizations, in all aspects of military and politics, have absorbed a lot of experience from their predecessors. This is not a mud tuǐ son robbing money, food and women, but an organized, disciplined and programmatic approach to win over the hearts of the people. Conquer territory and stand against the Empire. From this point of view, even if only one force is making trouble, it is enough to attract attention, not to mention that there are still many such organizations around the world.

It can be seen that today's empire, as Tianyi said, is on the verge of death, and it is in the bone marrow. What can a tea fairy and a drunken master be?

…………

At this eventful time, Tian Yi came to Europe.

He took the fake ID made by Zuo Dao, and the accountant to squeeze tens of thousands of dollars, bought a flight ticket from Macau to Kabul, and then transferred from there to Paris in the north of Oak County.

Even though the southern part of Oak County has become a battlefield, it is still the beautiful hu, fashionable, làng, flashy, expensive...

Walking down the street, there is still a scene of peace in front of me.

But it seems that Tianyi's luck is not very good. It was raining when he walked out of the airport.

He has no umbrella or even luggage, and the taxi drivers at the door all keep aloof from the suspiciously-looking black-clad man drenched in the rain.

After searching for a long time, he managed to get into a car, only to be greeted with: "Hey! Man! Look at you getting the back seat wet!"

After more than half an hour, Tian Yi came to the front of a relatively ordinary hotel in the city.

On the way, Tianyi kept thinking, should he kill the driver, drive the car to the wilderness to dispose of the body, then just find a place to disguise the license plate, and the next day he can rent it out by himself The driver's identity was wandering around the city.

But looking at the wedding ring on the driver's finger and the childishly crafted pendant on his windshield, Tianyi understands that this guy has a wife and children and has a family, so Tianyi gave up, he knew, Keeping this **** alive is the real torture, other book lovers are reading: Han Shu after the Twenty-Five Histories.

"No need to look for it." Tian Yi gave him a big ticket, stepped out of the car, slammed the taxi door, and hurriedly got under the canopy at the entrance of the hotel.

"Thank you, man." The driver turned his head back, thanked him, stepped on the gas, and left.

Tian Yi whispered: "You should die..."

After walking a few steps forward, the guard at the door opened the door for Tianyi: "Do you need me to help you with your luggage, sir?"

"Look..." Tian Yi was wet from head to toe, and his hands were empty.

A few minutes later ~IndoMTL.com~ He came to the front desk and opened a rather nice suite, and then the doorman took Tianxi into the elevator and walked all the way to the room.

After opening the door for him, he said, "What instructs you to pick up the intercom phone and dial 1 to connect to the front desk."

"Oh."

"Additional charges apply for beverages and snacks in the freezer, and additional charges apply for on-demand 'special' TV programs. For outside calls, please dial 0, and of course additional charges apply."

"Oh."

"If you need me to buy something for you, make a list..."

"Take this." Tian Yi stuffed a large bill in his hand: "Shut up and go out."

Na Xu immediately stopped being wordy and said with a smile: "Welcome to the Dolphin Hotel, I wish you a good day."

Before he finished speaking, Tianyi slammed the door shut with one hand, and said to the door: "Go to hell..."
