Chapter 102
Chapter 101 The turning point of war (in)
The Republic’s army was blocked in the territory of the Republic, and this incident had a great blow to the Republic. Eight-tenths of the external passages are blocked, and the combat route will become extremely single. The coalition forces can easily predict the route, and they will be forced to retreat by bombarding the passage.
This shows that if it does not forcefully enter the newly independent country and use force to create a channel, it will be difficult for the Republic to fight it again.
Moreover, with regard to the territorial changes, the original logistics supply system of the Republic has been completely changed, and it has almost collapsed. The Republic needs to immediately plan a new supply route, which makes them in a hurry.
Ji Yao circulates around the 17 small countries non-stop, persuading them not to provide traditional energy to the Republic. Among the 17 small countries, three have exported large amounts of ore to the Republic in the past, and they have made outstanding contributions to the Republic’s military.
After weighing the situation, the three small countries fell to the side of the coalition forces. The coalition forces also sent consultants to help them build up an army, even if they actually controlled their combat forces.
After the Republic struggled desperately, it encountered an expected severe rejection.
Next, they can only rely on a smaller amount of energy to maintain combat.
Energy is getting less and less, and being pressed within the territory to find new supplements, the clock on the time bomb starts ticking, and a devastating explosion seems to be coming.
At the same time, after the disintegration of the Republic, the domestic social contradictions intensified.
The monopoly class made a fortune in the war, while the people suffered an unprecedented crisis. Due to a large number of conscriptions, the number of employees in other positions has plummeted, and the Republic’s own resources are extremely scarce. All resources are used for front-line warfare, companies have closed down, and domestic anti-war sentiment continues to grow, no longer like in previous years Support the government.
Playing outside is one thing, playing at home is another.
After two consecutive years of losing streak, there is basically no victory that can be achieved. Now the situation is so bad that the sound of stop loss is normal.
All the people of the Republic are wondering: Did so much manpower and material resources get such a result?
Even within the military, there are complaints.
In response to this situation, the Republic organized a large-scale offensive.
This offensive was an excuse to chase after the alliance and the neutral nation’s coalition forces, and to defeat the Guo Guo, that is, the Guo clan before the split. As long as you control the country, you can use its ore resources.
This counter-offensive plan includes all the units that have complained the most.
The thinking of the upper ranks of the army is: if this battle is won, it can change the frustration and frustration within the army; if this battle is lost, the troops can also be sacrificed honorably and not come back to influence others.
However, those troops saw through the army’s intent and understood that this was actually sending them to the front line to die.
Originally, they were only complaining, but this time it really evolved into actual action-they locked the warship and mecha and refused to go out. No matter what the commander promised, they were unmoved. For the first time, the contradictions in the army were affected. Put it on the table.
In order to kill a hundred people, the army arrested the soldiers who took the lead in disobedience, but they encountered fierce resistance. Although the people were arrested, the impact of the conflict was very large, and the army took a lot of effort to succeed.
In the end, the army abandoned the plan, and everything seemed to be restored to its original condition.
However, a careful person can completely discover that after this incident, many soldiers in the army have doubts in their hearts.
Once such an atmosphere arises, it is very detrimental to war.
Not surprisingly, the reorganization of the Republic afterwards to force the retreat of the coalition forces and control the Guoguo attack failed.
The war is completely one-sided, and there is nothing worthy of war history to record.
The only special thing is probably on New Year’s Day, when the two sides truce for two days to celebrate the agreement.
The reason is: on this day of welcoming the new life, let us stop embracing death.
During those two days, not only was the war on both sides ended, but the soldiers on both sides also had a very friendly interaction.
When the New Year’s countdown is counting down, the fleets on both sides are counting down. When the count reaches zero, the warships of both sides fired lasers and live ammunition to the sky, simulating the romance of fireworks in the sky.
Soldiers from the Alliance drove to the border between the two armies and sent bouquets and beer to the soldiers of the Republic. The people of the Republic also gave gifts. People from two countries got together, each took out their own food to explain, and then gave them to each other to taste. The Republicans hugged and shook hands with the soldiers of the Alliance, and even sang the New Year’s song together.
Then, both sides allowed each other to search for the remains on the battlefield, and both sides took back the remains of their own people they found.
On this day, they don’t have to worry about death, they can welcome the new year with peace of mind, and pray for a good change in the new year.
However, it is a pity that such a scene only lasts for two days.
Tan Yan was not in the army during the two days of the armistice.
He returned to Capital Star very rarely.
Wu Qiao delivered a New Year’s speech, and then attended only half of the New Year’s Eve dinner, and then took Tan Yan back to his office.
There was a balcony outside the office, and Tan Yan was stunned when he saw it.
——Wu Qiao prepared candlelight and red wine. The light of the candle flickered, and the color of the red wine was as clear as a gem.
“You…” Tan Yan smiled, “You also got these?”
“Yes.” Wu Qiao opened the sliding door and walked out. “This is the first time we spend the New Year together.” In the past, both of them were busy separately.
“…”
“New Year’s truce… very interesting.” After thinking about it, Wu Qiao smiled, “This is what Ji Yao means.”
“I heard.” Some people in the Republic believed that the Alliance was fighting psychological warfare and wanted to dissolve the will of the Republicans to fight, but the people of the Alliance categorically denied it.
“Speaking of which,” Wu Qiao said again, “this is the first time the two sides of the war have an agreement. The first time there is an agreement is the New Year’s truce.”
Tan Yan replied: “There are still some in the imperial period.”
“Oh, yes, there was in the Empire, sit down.”
“Okay.” Tan Yan sat down, opened the bottle of red wine, poured himself some, then looked up at Wu Qiao, and asked, “Where are you? Would you like to drink?” He knew very well, except for sometimes being forced to stay up late. Wuqiao doesn’t have any bad habits. The most important thing is to drink a bitter gourd juice on the most important occasions. Not only does he like to drink, but he also forced Tan Yan to drink, and Tan Yan is used to drinking it. Sometimes he feels a little greedy after not drinking it for a long time-habit is really a terrible thing.
“Um…” Wu Qiao tilted his head and looked at the bottle of wine, “Is it good?”
Tan Yan raised his hand and handed it over his cup: “I don’t know. Or would you taste mine first?”
“One bite is too much.” Wu Qiao put one arm on the table, put his cheek in his hand, looked at Tan Yan’s thin lips, and said, “You take a sip and I will lick your lips.”
“…” Tan Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Qiao, “You slutty.” Then, he didn’t say anything, just took a sip from the cup, and then pulled Wu Qiao onto his lap.
Wu Qiao stretched out his tongue and licked the other’s lips, and as expected, he brushed a few drops of water. The familiar taste is mixed with the taste of red wine, which seems to be sweeter than usual.
The two people just “drinked” while chatting, and soon it was the New Year’s countdown.
There was a sudden noise in the distance. The fireworks celebrating the New Year began to rise into the sky one by one. Comets jumped up into the sky, stars danced around in the dark, and then came down like a meteor shower.
It is colorful, radiant, and has various shapes, some are characters, some are flowers, and some are animals.
“Tan Yan…” Wu Qiao said, leaning back in his chair, “Wait a moment…At 12 o’clock, you have to watch the last firework carefully.”
“Huh?” Tan Yan asked, “What’s there?”
“You can see by yourself.”
“It blooms specifically for me?”
“Correct.”
The government building does not have a bell. Someone downstairs watched his watch count down loudly. Wu Qiao pulled up Tan Yan and walked to the balcony to quietly watch the fireworks in the distance.
With the sound of the last few counts, Tan Yan saw several red fireworks rushing into the sky. With a “bang”, two huge heart shapes bloomed, reflecting the entire sky. Up. When those two hearts reach their maximum, they seem to be able to beat.
“…” When the clock passed twelve o’clock, Tan Yan hugged Wu Qiao in his arms and lowered his head to kiss. The background was two red hearts in the distant sky. Make me think carefully.”
“Yeah.” Wu Qiao admitted openly, buried his face in Tan Yan’s collar, “Tan Yan…I like you, I like you, I like you so much.”
“I know.”
“Before I met you, I didn’t know that one person could like another person so much.”
Tan Yan laughed lowly: “Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year.” Wu Qiao went to kiss Yan Yan again, “The two of us are walking into the new year together.”
“There will be countless new years in the future.”
“Yeah. But… are you going back tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
Wu Qiao stretched out his hand to tidy up Tan Yan’s collar that was completely messed up by himself: “Sometimes I really want to announce that you are missing, and shut you in my house, so that you just wait for me to come home every day.” Come and gnaw, Tan Yan’s military uniforms are not very neat, and he will go out later, like this is definitely not good.
Tan Yan couldn’t help but smiled again: “Okay.”
“…But that’s just thinking about it. All I can do is to support you with all my strength.”
“Alright, Wu Qiao, it’s almost over.” Tan Yan straightened out Wu Qiao’s hair. “The current Republic is a bit like the original empire. Both the army and the people are very upset.”
“Ok.”
“So, bear with me again.”
“…Hmm.” Wu Qiao knew that the two of them met because of the war, and this was their fate. They are destined to be happy after others, and everything about themselves has to be pushed back.
