Chapter 1726 Another Year

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but the firepower of the Gefra people today is much more ferocious than before!"

In the trench, a soldier of the Penteo Empire looked at the flickering gunfire behind the fortifications in the distance, couldn't help but retract his head and squatted in the trench, sharing cheap cigarettes with his comrades.

Cigarettes are an important supply for the armies of various countries, and they can calm the anxiety of soldiers to a large extent.

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

Other times...no one cares about that!

The soldiers beside him also nodded, "I always feel that they are working hard today, it seems that I am not alone!"

On the iron barrel defense line behind them, the gunfire in the muzzle of the machine gun has hardly been extinguished!
Except for a short stop when changing the barrel, it keeps shooting most of the time!

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

The artillery of the two sides bombarded each other continuously, and the planes in the sky were also fighting to death, and gunpowder smoke was everywhere.

There might still be some corpses to be seen, but the men in the trenches hadn't considered crawling out to drag them back.

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

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

The two people who were talking lowered their heads, and when there was no more sand falling, they continued to chat as if nothing had happened.

"Their firepower has been fierce since this morning. Maybe they have realized something. This is just a resistance on the verge of death!"

The soldier who spoke first spoke very arrogantly. In his opinion, no matter how fierce the firepower of the Gefra people is now, the final result will not change in any way!
They have no other way to go except defeat!
The news in the country that we want to focus on opening up the war zone of Ameria has spread in the army. Some people say that the chief of the army promised the emperor that the war in the Ameria region will be completely quelled before January [-] next year!
In other words, there are still... more than three months!

Millions of soldiers will be dropped here, I'm afraid there won't be enough room for that many people!

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

While talking, another fighter jet in the sky was shot down with black smoke, and then a burst of black smoke rose from an invisible place in the distance.

The two became a little quieter because it was Penteo's fighter jet and they could see the spray under the wing of the plane.

If there was anything that made Penteo's soldiers somewhat imperfect, it had to be the Air Force!

So far, based on the real-time statistics of the battlefield, the Penteo Air Force Department has found that for every [-] Penteo fighters lost on average, one Federal fighter can be brought down!

This battle damage rate is a bit astonishing, but there is no good way. I can only hope that the scientists of the Imperial Academy of Sciences will not waste the empire's funds.

At this moment, the rear officer's order to evacuate sounded from the horn in the tunnel.

The counterattack force within the defense line is too strong, and they have not obtained air supremacy, so the armored forces cannot launch an attack for the time being.

In these trenches, the infantry waiting for the armored troops to go up first, and then pounce on them, naturally had no chance to climb out of the trenches.

Gefra's attitude suddenly became very firm, which made the headquarters think that the situation might have changed, so they temporarily withdrew from the combat zone.

The soldiers in the trenches carried things on their backs and bent over to move quickly, fighting positional warfare. The trenches are an indispensable part, and it has been proved that it is really useful!

Even if there are tanks, armored vehicles, and even airplanes, the role of trenches in positional warfare is still irreplaceable!
The Pengjieao people's attack was repulsed, which greatly improved the morale behind the iron barrel defense line.

Withdrawal of the ground troops, but the battle in the air is not over yet. Only after all the ground troops have withdrawn will Penteo's air force withdraw.

The emergence of aircraft has brought many changes to the battlefield. In the past, the withdrawal of infantry basically meant that the battle stopped.

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

Inside the line of defense, the soldiers had already cheered. Some people even felt that Peng Jieo's army was nothing special at this moment. Wouldn't they be beaten back by them?

Some defending soldiers asked their commander if they were going to sound the horn for a counterattack.

Their chief reassured them that yes.

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

When His Excellency the Prime Minister asked those officers of the Federal Ministry of Defense what they should do first, the officers of the Ministry of Defense gave him a standard answer.

First of all, the firepower output on the defense line must be increased, and the Peng Jieao people must have an idea that maybe they plan to counterattack!

Only in this way will Peng Jie'o's army not try unscrupulously 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 evacuation.

In fact, at this time, some people have already started to build simple military bases in the mountains, tens of 10 people have retreated into the mountains, relying on some natural barriers for defense, and it is impossible for these people to really live on the natural barriers!
They still live in tents or caves most of the time, and there is no need to be outside all the time except for work.

But these all need to be done by someone, and some equipment is also being dismantled, packed, and may be shipped away at any time.

The prime minister has convinced the prime minister's cabinet and the great nobles in the country, and let them understand that even if the federal people can support them, they will also withdraw.

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

He had a deep feeling when he went to the Federation this time.

It is not for nothing that the Commonwealth has caught up from an obscure, backward country.

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

The three-dimensional sand table of the Ministry of National Defense reflects this!
Up to now, the gentlemen of Gefla are still looking at military maps that most people can’t understand. They don’t know why those objects with obvious regular structure shrinking circles are a mountain.

Some people may maintain a very strange point of view, as long as the officers can understand it.

But war is not just a matter for officers, it is a matter for the entire country!
From some details, you can feel the obvious gap, and the Prime Minister also realized that it is useless to rely on anyone, and in the end it is always better to rely on yourself!

Therefore, rebuilding the national defense force was taken as his next important national policy. He bought those veteran soldiers who started to retreat after seeing no hope of victory!
He can't stand those bastards who still have a cup of tea on the battlefield!
Changes in the Amelian battlefield are happening quietly, and the violent counterattack of the Gefra people has not made the Penteo people realize that their opponents are about to abandon the long defense line that has been built for a long time with huge sums of money!

You know, once they lose these fortifications, it means that the Penteo people will take over them and use them to fight against the Gefra people!

They never thought so!

Time is always passing by unconsciously, and the Federal Industrial Index, which has risen for three consecutive months, has also begun to become relatively stable. During this period, there is no big surprise for the Federation.

Everything is under control!
On the contrary, the World Development Committee has added several new members!
When a world organization shows stronger strength on the world stage, people will naturally join the organization on their own initiative.

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

Lynch, too, had reached his 27th birthday.

Time is really fast!

The heroine of this year's birthday party is Catherine. Catherine has successfully entered the political arena of the Federation, and as women are more integrated into society, they begin to play more roles!

The new round of women's labor liberation movement initiated by Landa and women's rights organizations went very smoothly, and a large number of women entered the factory.

Some may have not worked for more than ten or twenty years, but they still enter the factory and contribute their own strength to the country.

By the way, their financial problems were also solved!

The society has also begun to actively give these women enough respect!

The federal society is a fucking reality. In the past statistics, the number of female voters is not only small, but also "useless votes" for most politicians.

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

Women's status in society is low, and they do not have the right to choose by themselves.

But now it's different.

The number of independent female voters exploded as more women started working, earning income, and surviving without men.

They don't know much about politics and politicians. On the contrary, Catherine and Tracy, who are talked about by women's rights organizations all day long, have become their first choice for voting.

Someone talked about this issue, thinking that a new era of female voters is coming!

The reason is also very simple. Two to three million young and middle-aged people have joined the army, and at least about the same number of voters have become women.

Whoever can please women will get these 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 come into people's sight.

Of course, there were some minor accidents on Lynch's birthday this year. Petunia took the initiative to come over to help, and she didn't seem to be... against Catherine at all, and even offered to do something for her.

As a result, the next day, there were tabloids claiming that Lynch's private life was rotten, and he kept intimate relationships with several women on the same bed at the same time...
