1556 This Is War

The stench from the city is still wafting farther away. According to people who have returned from exploring the central area of ​​the city, some cats and dogs have died of illness inside the city.

Many animals escaped during the bombing, but these animals are now dead in the city.

As for why they died of illness rather than being killed by bombs?

There are always ways to verify this.

In the end, the commander decided to clean up the dead bodies in the city, but they had to take photos or even film them before cleaning up. They wanted to record the atrocities of Gefla and the Federation!

Calling the enemy evil is not to get more people to support you, but to prevent your own people from questioning the correctness of the war.

This information will be valuable, and after it reaches the country, it will inevitably trigger heated discussions.

The army is temporarily stationed ten kilometers outside the city. If they get too close, they will be affected by the stench. In fact, even ten kilometers away, some people can still smell the faint smell.

This small city was not very big, but too many people died. After a short discussion, they decided to set fire to the entire city.

During this period, the building materials in such small cities were mainly cement and wood. Except for a few high-rise buildings that were made of bricks and concrete, most square meters and two-story houses were made of wood.

Exposure to the sun has made this wood already in a flammable state, all that's left is to light it!

Just as the soldiers began to arrange burning props, one soldier unexpectedly discovered a hole in the ground with a silvery-white thing inside.

The angle of the sun was just right, making it shine with a metallic luster, and the soldier immediately reported the news.

The army has a lot of work now, no one will care about this thing, and no one will give him an answer.

The soldier dug out the items and put them into his backpack without even cleaning up the soil outside.

After he arranged the things used to start the fire, he left in a hurry.

A fire ignited the entire city, and the scorching flames were still burning deep into the night!

The stench in the air seemed to have faded a lot. People looked at the ignited city and seemed to have some insights, but they didn't understand anything.

The tired soldier returned to the camp and took out the clods of soil from his backpack.

This immediately made many soldiers curious about these things, and they all gathered around.

When the outer clods of soil were cleared away and the soldiers were preparing for the next round of cleaning in an environment where their companions were guessing what it was, it suddenly rolled and then bounced...

Lynch didn't know that a group of curious people had personally sent him back to where he came from. He only knew that the Pengeo people released the information they obtained to the world.

The hell-like scene is shocking!

The Pengeo people directly pointed the finger at the Gaevra, and the Federation was just incidental. Their main enemy at this stage is the Gaevra people.

In the face of the Pengeo people's accusations, what is surprising is that the Prime Minister did not take a position, but the Governor-General stood up.

The Governor is almost sixty years old. He has spent the most precious ten years of his life in Amelia. He rarely expresses his position in public because his current position is very sensitive.

Being radical will make people think that he has his own ideas and wants to get rid of the control of the island.

If he is conservative, the new aristocracy and local vested interests will be dissatisfied with his lack of responsibility.

It's hard for him to do.

But this time, he stood up.

Outside the Governor's Palace, facing reporters from all over the world, his expression was serious, but not nervous.

Someone asked a question, but he didn't answer. He seemed to be thinking about something.

A few minutes later, his butler and his servants came out of the Governor's Mansion. In their hands was a very long roll of cloth. After unfolding it, one name after another was embroidered on it.

The Governor was standing there, standing in the sun. The brim of his hat cast some shadows on his face. Under the strong contrast of the light, the changes in his facial expressions were less clearly visible.

"Behind me...", he turned slightly sideways and raised his hand to draw people's attention to the long roll of cloth behind him, "...are the innocent people of our country who sacrificed their lives during this period."

"Gentlemen, this is war!"

"There is no right or wrong in war, only victory or defeat!"

"When these people were tragically massacred by the Pengeo people and the locals, no one stood up to protect them and give them a chance to live!"

"And now, a group of executioners are shamelessly standing on the corpses of these people and talking about moral issues!"

"I won't defend anything, and I won't complain to anyone, because this is war!"

"Some of us will always die for this. I can't guarantee who will live to the end or who will die early. I am not a god!"

"The only thing I can do is to strive for victory for our people and our country as much as possible!"

"Even if this victory requires us to trample on the bones of countless enemies!"

"Even if it takes me to hell to get it!"

"Gentlemen, this is war. If you are not a friend, you are an enemy!"

There was no quibble, it could even be said that the Governor directly admitted this "tragedy", but his brief words deeply shocked everyone in every country.

People finally realized that this time it was not a movie, an opera, or a novel or TV series!

War is really coming!

Following the governor's public speech, like a general mobilization for war, the entire Amelia region began to implement stricter martial law.

Pengeo's mixed army army advanced so fast, especially their army tactics, that even the federal Ministry of Defense had no good way to deal with it!

They split the entire army into two major parts, one part was light troops and the other part was heavy troops.

The light troops will quickly shuttle between various cities and strongholds, clear the strongholds and fortresses in the wild, and completely restrict Gefra's defense power to the city.

In this way, there will be no contact and interaction between the city and the wild strongholds and fortresses, and then heavy firepower troops will come to bombard these areas indiscriminately.

This tactic doesn't look like...there's anything special about it, but in fact it's terrifying!

It is very likely that a city only received news that a city dozens of kilometers away was being attacked in the morning, and it didn't take long for Pengeo's rapid troops to reach the outskirts of the city!

The rapid advance of dozens of kilometers often caused the cities in the central and eastern regions of Amelia to start fighting hastily before they could react.

The severed defensive links made each defensive point an island.

Breaking out of the island were Pengeo's fast troops. They were not afraid of anyone in the field. After all, the experience and strength they had were not something that the Gaevra people could resist.

Not even with the help of the federal people.

Fighting a defensive war?

If you don't go out in the city, countless cannonballs will fall on your head soon.

In addition, in the skies above Amelia, the exchange of fire between the Gefra Air Force and the Pengeo Air Force has not stopped. The two sides have been competing for air supremacy.

If it weren't for the help from the federal air force, Gefra might have completely lost air supremacy in the Amelia region by now!

The Ministry of National Defense and the Blackstone Security Command have proposed some new strategic ideas to completely withdraw the forces in the eastern region and build a defense line in the west-central position of the Amelia region.

At the same time, Gevra's fleet was mobilized to harass and bombard the enemy's rear supply lines in the theater. Lengthening the front line would make it more difficult for the Penteo Empire to supply supplies.

While proposing this strategic idea, the federal people also proposed some supporting ideas, such as taking away all supplies and burning the city during evacuation.

The purpose of this is to completely cut off the idea of ​​​​Pentieo people's local supplies, and transfer the pressure of local people's daily material needs to the Pengeo Empire.

Aren’t they singing the light of humanitarianism in the international community that will shine through the ages?

Great, now it's their turn to make a choice.

If they take care of civilians who need supplies to survive, then their supply pressure will become even heavier!

There is a fleet blocking Pengeo's supply fleet at sea. Do you want to rely solely on land transportation to supply supplies to the military and civilians in half of the province?

Just doing this would overwhelm their logistics!

If they don't take care of those civilians, some spies who have hidden among the locals will take some photos, allowing the Pengeo Empire to withstand the pressure of public opinion in the international community.

These... strategic ideas are a bit bad and crazy. If they are really implemented, a large number of people will die from various accidents, such as... hunger, or something else.

but!

This is war. War is not pity or compassion, but the evil act of killing the same kind for selfish desires!

In war, no one is right or wrong. Whoever wins is righteous, because evil is destined to be eliminated!

Compared to the successive defeats in the Amelia region, the war between the Federation and Mariro has maintained a very good momentum.

Even though Pentio's support arrived at Marillo, the Federals did not find it difficult.

Because...the Federation is so damn rich!

In order to avoid the problem of soldier sacrifice, the federal fleet and bomber groups continued to conduct long-term bombings on various defense points in Marillo.

Marillo is too close to the Federation, and there is no need to even talk about the issue of supplies or not. It controls the ocean, supplies along the coast or directly drops by air.

The large transport aircraft developed by Lanying already has strategic value, which has also enabled the Strategic Command of the Ministry of National Defense to research some new strategies and tactics far beyond other countries.

At least currently, the only one with the ability to airdrop supplies is the Federation!

Technology and wealth are the Federation's greatest confidence in winning the war!
