Daily routine.
Most people take this for granted, and in fact there is nothing set in stone. The world itself is an ever-changing variable. When it comes to society and individuals, it also changes from time to time, but it is too subtle and often overlooked.
Humans like to stimulate and prefer "daily life", especially in some extreme cases, people will protect their daily life like protecting the most valuable things, or show their daily life as much as possible, just for a moment of tranquility With consolation.
For example, when the war is unfavorable.
The street horses of Ludes run and dance, and women and nomads wearing parasols and parasols still appear in the arcades and parks. These people have the restraints of big city residents hanging on their faces and walk slowly. Anxious and polite. It does not seem to be affected by the war at all. It's just that women don't hold dogs anymore, and the once popular curly hair hairstyles are also much less, and men are more and more wearing rustic "national clothes" with small flat heads under their hats. There are no luxuries in the shop windows, and many daily necessities are also labeled as "luxury goods" and "restricted purchases". In the corner of the street, the military police looked at the pedestrians with cold eyes, occasionally covering their noses to open the trash can to see if there were bones and skins, and whether there were extravagant "non-nationals".
Regardless of the military police, Xiante, dignitaries, or ordinary people, while keeping everything normal, they never forget to raise their heads from time to time to see if there are anything unusual in the sky.
The authorities carried out intelligence control on the news of the air strikes in cities such as Orleans. This action itself is understandable, but the lack of specific losses has caused a market for various rumors. Rumours about those cities were raging for a while, especially Orleans, which suffered the most damage, and in some people’s mouths, it became Pompeii buried by volcanoes. Tokyo, which cremated 100,000 animals overnight, was the first mushroom planted in the history of Blue Star. Hiroshima. Thanks to the goddess, the elven army has not yet entered there, otherwise the activities of the Mongolians in the thorn tattoos and the Japanese in Nanjing City in 1937 will be interpreted in the mouths of some people. I don’t know how many ignorant women and children are to be scared so that they can’t swallow and can’t sleep at night.
The entire missile attack killed 1,685 people, injured 3,811 people, and nearly 5,000 were homeless. It sounds like a massacre against civilians of Charlemagne, but this is the total number of victims in all 10 cities, and the total number of casualties in Orleans was only 579. Thanks to the immature technology and mechanical failure, the damage effect caused by FZG-76 is not higher than that of the predecessor V1. In addition to the bombing of the Orleans railway station, the other material losses caused are almost insignificant. On the technical level alone, it is not much different from failure.
However, the Defense Force had not expected to rely on immature "doom weapons" to lay the battle. With a few rounds of missiles, Charlemagne could be scared down and begged for mercy-this kind of good thing has never appeared in dreams. All they need is the effect of psychological shocks-tell those Charlie Man who think they are safe, will come to them at any time, let them feel fear and anxiety, and turn fear into pressure, prompting Charlemagne authorities to take some actions.
Just like now--
"It's an extraordinary time now."
The neurotic face twisted unabashedly, and Baron Rudes police chief Ottoman looked at the people around him, and the bulging red round face seemed to yell at any time and anywhere.
"The actions against rumors and rumors must be intensified. I suggest that all non-nationals be forced to recruit once confirmed and replace the brave soldiers to rest."
"What's the point?"
The commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie and the general of the army, Anthony Jean Maria Rani de Savari, answered with a dangerous expression:
"Does Qing want to further reduce the combat effectiveness and morale of the troops? Or does it want to spread the rumors into the army?"
At first sight, Savary was quite scholar-like, but under his gracefulness was a vagrant temper, showing his wrist many times in internal cleansing. He choked, and Ottoman immediately shrank back.
The rumor has its roots. As long as the threat of the other party’s long-range flying bomb continues to hang over everyone’s head, high-pressure measures alone can only suppress it for a while. If the threat is not completely resolved, the rumor will continue to exist and ferment.
"The offensive against Lorienta and Ajanto Raton must start as soon as possible."
Marquis de Loire tapped the table, and cast a pointed glance at the floor-to-ceiling window that drew the curtains.
A house of military police Xiante's head and brain stopped whipping. If the will of the crown prince represented the will of the army, the minister of the army was the spokesperson who conveyed the will of the prince. His voice far exceeded the other participants present. . This is of course the crown prince supporting him behind his back, but it is also inseparable from his own rationality and insight.
"Otherwise, the government and the military department cannot explain to the people. In the worst case, they can only reorganize the cabinet.
Collapse-In today's arbitrariness of the military, the term has long lost its freshness. Relying on the "active military official system", the soldiers did not see the government as unhappy and would not serve as a minister, so the cabinet had to bow down. Nowadays, it is the Army’s Royal Highness Crown Prince Prince Louis that nobody dares to play with this set. When they argue with the Navy and Minerva, they will use this as a gun and threaten it. Now the words of the Cabinet Pills are spoken from the mouth of the Secretary of the Army, and the portion of them can be imagined.
No one dared to take this as a joke. It is common for "patriotic warriors" and "Qingwang warriors" to burn down the private residences of high-ranking military and political officials. Once incited, the mob will not care about carrying a few stars on your shoulders. Especially for the citizens of Lüdes, strikes and riots are traditional sports that citizens like to see. If there are gendarmes all over the streets now, the big guys are happy to take a walk on the street and burn the house. At this point, there is no way out except for the resignation of the cabinet chief and an explanation to the excited nationals.
"Even without considering the surviving of the cabinet and the military, if the other party changes its attack mode, it will replace the fragmented harassment battle with thousands of flying bombs and gather them in designated target areas-such as factories and technical workers where the bombing will be carried out. Replace all with incendiary bombs...this is something we can’t afford.
After speaking seriously, Loire looked at the tight faces on both sides of the conference table.
"This is the meaning of the Holy Girl... His Royal Highness also agrees with it."
The surprise was only a moment, and the soldiers quickly agreed with this assumption.
They are soldiers, and most of their thinking is from a military perspective. With the popularization of muskets, the growing influence of industry and logistics on warfare is quickly accepted by soldiers. Although the concepts of strategic air strikes and overall warfare have not been popularized yet, starting with logistics has been a common way of using troops since ancient times. Everyone can understand what's going on with a little call.
The reason is very simple, but it is a little girl who can't swallow the fact that the fact is pointed out, not to mention that she is still the person of the Highness Queen...
"It's an extraordinary time now."
Loire cleared his throat, and his cold eyes swept across the faces with straight backs, and said firmly:
"The heretics are fierce, and the kingdom is now facing some difficulties, but the period of the country's restoration is just around the corner. At this time of the troubled autumn and the crisis of the kingdom, all of you here should be sincere and united to ride the country together. As long as it is the correct opinion, no matter who made it, We all want to hear it. Now we move on to the next agenda, about Plan No. 17..."
As the Secretary of the Army was trying to persuade Qiu Bamen, Roland's pointer was drawn the map.
"According to the intelligence of the sighting of the missile route, combined with the weather conditions at the time of the attack, the triangulation method is used to roughly determine that the cruise missile base is in the Vosges Mountains, and the approximate range is three places: Bruyer, Gerardme and Saint Die. One of them. If you want to be sure, you can only wait for further information."
"Do they really install incendiary warheads and cover bombing?"
Minerva closed her notebook. She had no concept of a strategic air raid. She could not imagine such a thing as a massacre in the sky. This is a thing that only ghosts and animals in the underworld can do. What is the elf camp that is trying to occupy the commanding heights of public opinion?
"Overall battle."
Roland put away the teaching pointer and supported the table with both hands and said:
"They followed a completely different mode of warfare to date."
Using all means to blur the front and rear barriers, there is no distinction between soldiers and civilians, all that remains is killing and destruction.
This is the overall battle.
"When I was in the military school, the radicals of the Air Force were already proclaiming'Once in a state of war with Charlemagne, the incendiary bombing of the big city of Charlemagne will be carried out, and it is necessary to bomb civilians without hesitation.' In recent years, the Air Force has specified this concept to'Destroy the Charlemagne military system through the area bombing system, killing experienced technical staff.' Now there are guided air bombs that can avoid or reduce personnel losses to implement this Mission, of course they are willing to try."
In fact, the Defense Force’s preparation in this regard is more specific than what Roland said. The intelligence service issued a memo "List of Main Targets and Critical Weaknesses of Attacking Charlemagne with Molotov cocktails" as early as one year ago. In this memo, intelligence personnel analyzed all major cities of Charlemagne, marking them one by one with flammability, attaching a large-scale map, and listing the reasons for Charlemagne’s suitability for incendiary bomb attacks.
1. Most of Charlemagne's urban buildings are brick-wood structures, which are easy to ignite;
2. The residential area of Charlemagne, especially the shantytown where industrial workers are crowded, is not suitable for rapid evacuation;
3. Charlemagne’s military and industrial objectives are often mixed with civilian residential areas;
4. Charlemagne's main industrial production capacity is concentrated in some large cities;
5. Charlemagne’s air defense, civil defense and fire protection systems are extremely fragile and do not have the capability to respond to strategic air strikes and incendiary bomb attacks;
The memorandum lists the direct effects that can be achieved by incendiary bombing: destruction of industrial production facilities and equipment, military facilities, and material reserves; it also details the indirect effects that can be expected: casualties reduce the productivity of workers~EbookFREE.me~ Destruction of transportation systems and public service facilities, reconstruction and resettlement will consume material reserves and weaken their domestic morale. Finally, the intelligence officer who wrote the memorandum also bluntly mentioned "to launch biological attacks after strategic air strikes, to place biological warfare agents, infectious agents, and contaminated food, and to use the premise that the enemy army lacks materials and public health security systems. It is difficult to clean up the ruins and dead bodies in a short time, and seek to achieve the maximum killing effect of biological weapons."
The Defense Force’s research on biological weapons in recent years has been fruitful. It has randomly sent out hundreds of missiles carrying diseases such as pneumonic plague, tuberculosis, smallpox, cholera, typhoid fever, and Spanish flu.
They will launch whenever they feel the need. By then, the earth will be covered by corpses, and everything that people have accumulated so far will be turned into wilderness and dust.
"It is no longer a question of whether Charlieman wants a truce. They have clearly demonstrated the ability to cover the range of Rudes. No one knows when the next strike will start, or where they are aiming... honestly. Say, we have no choice at all."
Minerva's back was cold, the city's flames skyrocketed, and the pictures of the citizens running through the call signs crossed his mind.
She has never felt herself resisting the possibility of this terror.
But now that Alfheim has fully demonstrated its long-range attack weapons, the deliberate rejection may have become a real threat.
As Roland said, there is no choice at all, there is only one way forward.
-Can only fight.
In the green eyes and purple pupils facing each other, heavy words flashed.
