185 Full Mobilization
"Boss! How is this possible! We obviously destroyed the enemy's steam cannons, and I did it together with Belancheer. I watched my brothers throw metallurgical pyroxene into the cylinders of the steam cannons. I watched them melt at high temperatures. How could this be fake? Where did the enemy come from? "
Kneeling in front of the young man's body, Ivan and Gastens finished reading the note together. His tone was anxious and his expression was anxious. What happened to Elena was touching his heartstrings. He could not calm down, nor could he calm down.
"They may have hidden some, or they may have transported some new ones," Gastens's voice was cold like ice. "Or, the steam cannons they put outside for us to destroy were originally fake, or broken. I finally understood why they had to hold us back and tried their best to let us go back. It turned out that their point was here..."
The intelligence from the young man was like a most critical puzzle, dispelling the fog that had been lingering in Gastens's mind for several days. He suddenly realized that the enemy had planned to attack the steam cannons, so he used some techniques to make them think that the steam cannons had been destroyed and drag them here. Then, he sent a large force over and attacked Elena with intact steam cannons. After losing the production brigade and guerrilla brigade, he was no longer there. Elena's comrades were likely to lose their power in the face of weapons they had never seen before, and then they would have flaws.
"What a good move to play!"
Gastens raised his head, the sky above his head was gray and the sun was invisible. His eyes swept through the ravens hovering in the sky and fell on Ivan's face.
"At any cost, break through and return to Ailena as fast as possible!"

When the emergency warning sounded, Luna was working in a textile factory. Recently, the frontline battles were tense, and everyone's workload was increasing. As the noblest Duke of Ankenrien and the first apprentice of the Mage Tower, Luna herself could not imagine that she was working here like a slave. She kept stepping on the sewing machine repeatedly, and sewing pieces of cloth into clothes. This kind of work had neither pleasure nor a sense of accomplishment. Luna had to completely suppress her disgust in order to complete her daily work tasks.
"Woo————”
The loud alarm made Luna's hand shake, and a stitch was smashed in the direction. Luna cursed in a low voice and stopped. Like her, there were more than fifty female sewing workers in the same workshop.
"Miss Luna, this is the ringtone of the emergency alarm. When this sounds, it means that there are major issues that endanger Elena's safety. All new farmers with militia and participating in rotation training must report to designated locations. The same is true for factory workers. We female workers must enter the wartime state, and while increasing the workload, they must also wear self-defense weapons..."
Although she was no longer Luna's slave, Lavigne Warren still accompanied Luna. As soon as the trumpet sounded, she told her former master the knowledge she had learned in the night school.
"Wartime state? Is there something wrong with the front line?"
Luna actually remembered the meaning of this horn, and she was just a little unbelievable. Her slow mind gradually recovered from agility due to high-intensity repetitive work, and she suddenly realized a terrible problem.
"Is the Luoshan Road Entrance lost?"
Like Luna, more than one person thought of this possibility. A low voice sounded in the workshop, and everyone began to work without any intention. At this moment, the factory director, Viktor Alexandra, appeared at the door of the workshop with a team of soldiers.
"Everyone, don't panic." Although you don't panic, Viktor's own expression was so serious that it was a bit terrifying. "I'm here to convey to you the latest instructions from the Council of the Communist Party of China-"
The workshop suddenly became quiet. People held their breath and waited for the most terrible answer to be spoken out of the factory manager.
"Today, we and the Negru Republic army broke out fiercely at the intersection of Luoshan Road. With more than 3,000 casualties, we injured and killed more than 20,000 enemies, and killed the enemy's commander-in-chief Taijia Bush, and achieved excellent results!"
Viktor Alexandra spoke good news, hoping to ease everyone's emotions. But the emergency horns were still ringing, making everyone wait for his bad news.
"But," Viktor also knew that he would finally say this, "But our first and second militia divisions suffered heavy losses, and a large number of steam machine guns were destroyed by the enemy. At this speed, the enemy's attack tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will bring us great pressure. Therefore, the Council decided that from now on, Elena will enter a full-scale wartime state, and all workers and farmers who have participated in rotation training will be recruited into the army and ready to go to the front line. The vacant jobs will be filled by our lesbians. For our textile factory, the original three shifts were changed to two shifts, and the working time was extended to twelve hours a day. At the same time, I will draw some employees to join the first factory to produce weapons for the front line soldiers. Now, do comrades have voluntarily registered? If not, I will draw according to the list—"
"Swish--"
A forest of arms grew in the workshop of the textile factory. Facing the enemy who was pressing to the house and the enemy who was destroying her revolutionary cause, the female textile workers were also enthusiastic. Luna looked around and found that she was one of the few female workers who did not raise her hands. She hesitated for a moment and raised her hand.
"Okay, I'll start ordering people now. I hope you are mentally prepared. The work in the first factory is not as hard as here. It's very hard. You must be mentally prepared!"
Viktor Alexandra began to call out the name, and Luna silently prayed in her heart, praying that she would not be selected. However, it was as if someone deliberately couldn't get along with her, and her name was quickly called out by Alexandra.
"Luna Brewster!"
When she heard this name, all the female workers around Luna turned to look at her. Everyone knew her identity and were surprised and relieved that she had raised her hands to participate in the heavier work. A few seconds later, the head who didn't know who started first began to applaud her, and the applause began to bulge Luna's face from weak to strong, turning Luna's face into a red apple.
Forget it, I have to finish the registration myself even if I cry.
Luna thought so when she left her sewing machine. The first factory, the weapon factory, is very high insecurity, and people who are not particularly reliable cannot enter. Now, due to war, she has been able to enter the most important factory of Elena, which is also a way to get closer to Elena's core.
However, Luna Brewster finally thought things simple. After leaving the textile factory and entering the first factory, she soon found that her job was to assemble! The gun parts were assembled as the foreman's instructions, and then the larger parts were loaded into guns by the workers behind the assembly line. This process was as boring as textile, and the smell of gun oil in the air mixed in the hot air of the nearby forging and smelting workshops made Luna sweat quickly. However, like her companions from the textile factory, she had no energy to care for her clothes, appearance or skin. There was only a simple fact left in her consciousness.
I am Luna Brewster, the Grand Duke, and I can’t lose! I can’t lose in any way!

When we finished working the day, it was already past 11 o'clock at night. Luna and Lavigne were walking back to the dormitory. The sky was clear after the heavy rain above our heads, and the fireflies were flying around us. If we ignored her clothes that were almost stuck together and the soreness of her arms, it should have been a beautiful summer night view. But with the war suspicion at the intersection of Luoshan Road and the heavy faces of people coming and going on the path, the beauty in the night view was replaced by vague anxiety, making Luna feel a little unable to breathe.
"Luna—"
In the shadow of the pyroxene street lights next to the road, someone greeted him softly. Luna looked in the voice, but was surprised to see Miguel Martinez, the spokesperson of the Mage Tower capitalists.
"Why are you here?"
Luna was a little surprised. At this time, Elena's situation was not good. The border should be on high alert. How did this person come in and how did it emerge?
"Don't worry about this," Miguel blocked Luna's question with one sentence, turned his head and said to Lavigil, "Lavigil, go back first, I'll say a few words to Luna."
Lavier did not listen to Miguel Martinez. She looked at Luna, and after getting her affirmative look, she turned around and said goodbye. Luna and Miguel Martinez watched Lavier leave, and then left the path and walked in the shadows beside the road.
"I'm here this time, there's something important to find you." Although I'm alone in the night with Luna, Miguel is not in the mood to think about the messy things. He goes straight to the point and makes his own request.
"Elena is over. Aren't you living with Daisy? Can you find a way to get the keys to Gastens's office? His weapon design information is all in it. If you can get one, I will ensure that you leave Elena safely, and that you will be prosperous and prosperous for the rest of your life, and that you will have no worries about food and clothing."
"Do you think I am a person who lacks wealth and glory? What country can I give me the treatment of the first apprentice of the Mage Tower?"
Luna's words were disdainful, but then she began to care about the information revealed in Martinez's words.
"You said Ailena is going to finish, but is there a basis? We only used 3,000 people to kill 30,000 enemies today, and the Luoshan Road Crossing has also been defended. It should be a big problem."
"Your militias have only less than 20,000 people in total. After three days of killing, more than 5,000 people were killed or injured, and the rest were exhausted. Moreover, the enemy's steam cannons destroyed many of your steam machine guns, and the defense at the Luoshan intersection was as dangerous as it was. More importantly, your leader Gastens Warren was blocked by the enemy's 17th Army and the 18th Army, and could not return at all. Your production brigade and guerrilla brigade, as far as I know, suffered a great loss, and Belancheer was dead. In this case, how many days do you think Elena can guard?"
Martinez's frankness and directness silence Luna. Her educational background allows her to clearly understand what the information Martinez provides her means. If it is really difficult for Elena to defend the enemy's attack when the troops are insufficient, the leaders are not in place and advanced weapons are restrained.
"What you said is impossible. I have told you many times. I cannot get close to Elena's core layer. I don't know where the key is. Even if I find it, I will not be able to enter the factory, and I will not be able to enter Gastens's office."
Unconsciously, Luna no longer rejected Martinez, but began to state the difficulties of actual operation. Deep in her heart, the high-intensity labor and desire for past life over the past are quietly changing her mind.
"You don't need to worry about this," Miguel Martinez's voice was confident, "You just need to get the keys and leave the rest to me, do you understand?"
Luna was silent again, and the cicadas chirping in the summer night rose and fell one after another, making the air a little hot.
"Okay, just this matter, I've been nearby recently and I'll come to find you. Remember, you don't have much time. If the Luoshan intersection is broken, we may not have time to collect drawings. So, if you want to start, you must do it as soon as possible!"
Miguel Martinez left his last sentence and disappeared into the night. Luna was stunned for a while and set off on the way back to the dormitory again.
Will this newborn revolutionary base really be destroyed by the enemy as Martinez said? If it is destroyed, where should it go?
——————————
Just as Miguel Martinez told Luna about her latest pessimistic predictions, Elliot's staff also put the information on the defensive battles of the Luoshan Crossing before him.
"Eilena's life is not easy," Vincent Nafle, chief of staff of the General Staff of the Guards, sat down opposite Elliott, took a cup of herbal tea placed on ice, and drank it in one sip.
"Their casualties are very high, and the total number of people who can be used to defend is too small. Moreover, their main forces are all outside, and Gastens's life and death are unknown. If the Republic of Niglu continues to maintain its attack strength today, Elena will not be able to last for the next three days."
"How did they kill Tai'e Bush?"
Elliot casually flirted with the materials on his hand, his tone was relaxed. Since reconciliation with Elena, his troops have never been harassed by enemy guerrillas again, and their attack on the Xinshan Pass has stopped. Don't live too easily these days.
"I don't know yet," Vincent Nafle frowned, "It should be some kind of weapon with a long range. Our informant said that the people of Elena not only used this weapon to kill the Tai family, but also killed James Lester, the commander of the 22nd Army, and also killed some commanders on the front line. If it is true, the command tower we are using now must be improved or cancelled..."
