1569 I Heard...

Line of defense!

One of the stupidest war plans in the history of human warfare!

Many times when people talk about the issue of defense lines, they naively believe that the enemy will definitely crash into the defense line we created.

Then the head was bruised and bloody, and we only had to pay a small price to cause heavy damage to the enemy.

But people never consider one question: Why does the enemy have to take this path?

People never think about it.

For capitalists, it doesn't matter which path the enemy takes, what matters is how much money they can make by building an invincible line of defense.

For the people, it is not very important whether this line of defense can be effective.

No matter who becomes the new mountains on the people's heads, people's lives will not be much easier.

As for politicians and military people?

Only they think the enemy can be that stupid!

Maybe not necessarily stupid.

They need to let people see their opinions and the way they are working hard to save the country. They cannot let people think that the country's destruction is because they did not work hard enough. This is not okay!

The defense line should be long, with many weapons and equipment deployed inside, and it should give people at least a visual impact.

Even if we lose in the end, it’s not because we didn’t work hard, it’s just that God is not on our side!

It was as if at this moment, at a certain point along the entire defense line, the Gevra and Pengeo people started an offensive and defensive battle, and the balance of the battle was more inclined to Gevra's side.

The heavy concrete and reinforced structure can withstand shell attacks very well. Except for the concrete blocks flying everywhere, people actually don't feel how terrifying such a bombardment is.

On the contrary, Pengeo's side suffered some casualties due to the lack of cover from defensive fortifications.

People cheered, this solid line of defense is effective and valuable!

A satisfied smile appeared on Mr. Lin's face, because he built many projects in this line of defense. A battle that can withstand the enemy's offensive pace is the best acceptance process. He can ask Gaevra to ask for it. Money.

Politicians are also laughing. Doesn’t such a large project and its effects just prove that the actions of politicians are correct?

As for the various resources consumed, wasted, or excessively lost in this process, no one will talk about it in the face of victory.

The sergeants were also laughing. What the Gefra Army feared most was face-to-face combat, and now this made them feel much better.

The sense of security that comes from hiding behind cover and shooting is so satisfying.

Everyone is celebrating this. They believe that this line of defense will become a nightmare for the Penteo people and a natural chasm that prevents them from moving forward!

But no one realized that there was a team sneaking around the defense line. No one noticed it, and no one realized it.

"The defense line built by the Federation is very strong. We have to respond to the Empire."

The commander of the Southern Front was also at the scene. He held a telescope in his hand and looked at the concrete buildings that had been shelled.

Calling it a building is not entirely correct. It is a "concave" wall made of concrete and steel bars. When viewed from directly above, it does not look like a city wall.

Some soldiers and artillery were gathered in this groove. There were small holes in the wall, and they could easily shoot out from inside.

Not only is it relaxing, but it also provides excellent observation space.

But want to stably fire shells in from the outside?

It’s not that it can’t be done, the probability is still too small.

Shells fell on those walls one after another, and the exploded concrete debris flew everywhere, and the iron mesh woven with steel bars was exposed in many places.

But...these walls are too thick. From some information they received, they learned that these walls are at least one meter behind. This is still a relatively weak place. In some places, especially the front wall, the thickness exceeds two meters, even Three meters!

They don't care at all about such a waste of piled materials, what they want is solidity!

Even though its fragments were flying everywhere, the actual impact on the Gefra people was not very great.

There are also some bunkers. The rounded arcs and angles make it difficult for cannonballs to land on them, and they are likely to be bounced away.

The machine gun inside would eject some sparks from time to time, proving that the people inside were still safe and sound.

If there are no advanced special weapons designed to break through this line of defense, then it is very likely that their steps will end here!

The Pengeo people have already seen the construction capabilities of the federal people. In fact, it didn't take them long to build these fortifications.

I heard that they used fire to speed up the drying time while pouring, and there were so many people working on it that almost the entire defense line started construction at the same time!

And these workers, the Pengeo Empire also knows where they come from, Nagaril!

The Pengeo Empire once set its sights on Nagaril, but... poverty and backwardness prevented the emperor from having the slightest interest in this land.

Some even thought that the conquest of Nagaril would only add to the burden on the empire, which was responsible for feeding 200 million people who could not afford to eat, which was a heavy burden.

But now, Nagaril is shining brightly in the hands of the Federation.

However, even if they knew this in advance, the Pengeo Empire might not take action against Nagaril because of the different systems.

There are some things that the Federation people can do, but the Pengeo Empire cannot.

The commander raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. More than forty minutes had passed since the start of the battle, and he had not been able to advance even a step.

He raised his hand and asked for a ceasefire.

This period of time was enough for the detachment of their troops to avoid the sight of the Gefra people and try to bypass it from a farther place.

The battle finally ended nearly an hour after it broke out.

There was a lot of smoke still rising around the battlefield, including crashed planes, burning wreckage, and some ignited vegetation.

The entire battlefield smelled of tragedy!

The flames devoured flesh and blood, and there were actually many casualties in this battle, but it was difficult to see the sight of corpses lying everywhere.

Behind the defensive line, camps throughout the area became very lively.

Lively is actually not the right word, because it's a bit... inappropriate.

Soldiers, nurses, and doctors were all busy, and the shelling brought many wounded.

Although there were not many serious injuries or deaths, there were many injured!

The concrete fragments ejected by the explosion of the artillery shell may not have any lower damage than the fragments of the artillery shell. These concrete fragments have more uncontrollable and chaotic properties.

It may ricochet directly to the back of the wall along some openings in the wall, causing harm to people behind the wall!

There were also some unlucky ones who were very unlucky. The shells penetrated the wall steadily from the window and fell into the crowd, causing a large number of casualties.

But it is worth noting that the casualties still exist, but it is much better than people expected. It can even be said that this is a victory!

Only a few people were sacrificed, and Pengeo's attack was repelled. This greatly improved the morale of the entire Gaevra side, and also gave everyone a feeling that they would be able to drive away the invaders!

After the battle, while conveying this "great victory" to the country, the Governor contacted Lynch and federal officials to express his gratitude to the federal government for helping them!

Especially Lynch, he provided a lot of help in building this defense line.

From the birth of the defense line plan to the specific construction, he was involved.

That night, Lynch came outside the Governor's Mansion...

The decoration of the Governor's Mansion is not luxurious, but it has a rich flavor, even if you don't know where it is and who lives there.

When you see it, you can feel the noble temperament!

At this time, in this elegant house, full of a special aura, a celebration dinner was being held.

Through the low shrub wall, you can see the busy greeters at the door and the equally busy servants on the lawn. Some soothing music and the sound of people talking can be heard faintly in your ears.

The sounds of voices, the laughter of ladies.

Behind the bright windows in the building, the figures of people coming and going are constantly flashing, and the whole building exudes a kind of joy.

They are celebrating their victory after successfully repelling the attack of the Pengeo Empire today!

Lynch stood by the car, watching everything happening here, his eyes seemed to be watching a ridiculous comedy!

He glanced back behind him. There seemed to be some terrifying monster dormant in the dark night sky, and even the stars were hiding in fear of being unable to avoid it.

It's so quiet that it makes people fearful just by looking at it.

He turned around again, his calm facial expression adjusted to a smile that no one could fault, and he slowly walked towards the lawn.

Soon, under the leadership of the servant, Lynch came to the presence of the Governor. His face was somewhat rosy, and he was surrounded by several gentlemen and ladies. There was a faint smell of alcohol when he spoke, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot.

After seeing Lin Qi coming, he was slightly startled, and then said, "Sorry..."

After people followed his gaze and saw Lin Qi, they consciously and actively bid farewell to the Governor for the time being and gave up their position.

The two met and shook hands. Perhaps the Governor drank a little too much, so he didn't seem so calm.

In fact, when the two met for the first time, His Excellency the Governor still disliked Lynch, but this time, Lynch was so cute in his eyes.

"Thanks to you!" His Excellency the Governor spoke very directly. "If it weren't for the ideas you put forward, maybe we would still be retreating now."

"They are too strong, and we are too weak. Maybe this is the only way we can fight them!"

His Excellency the Governor did not put it euphemistically, but it was true.

After only a few battles, the Gaevra people decided to abandon half of Amelia and shrink the front line. Isn't it because the Pengeo people are too damn strong?

The Governor took Lynch's hand and said, "I heard that you invented a brand new tactic in Marillo?"

"Maybe we can give it a try..."
