279 Unification War
"To be honest, you have done a good job," Gastens accepted Gary Gibson's gift without evasion. "But this is the general trend, and Ankenrien's system determines that it is the best soil for communism. You have tried your best, so don't be too sad."
"Teacher", Gary Gibson sat upright, "My father died and my country was broken. I could have become the emperor of one of the six major powers in the world, but now I have become the last monarch of a country that is about to be destroyed. If you think this is good, and you can 'don't be too sad', then I have nothing to say."
Gastens looked at Gary Gibson sitting in front of him and remembered the first time he saw him. At that time, he was small and short, with a hint of vigilance and intentional innocence. Who would have thought that such a young man would become such a monarch in three years.
"At least you are still alive." Gastens did not deliberately comfort the emperor opposite him. He knew that even the emperor who had lost power, even the emperor of a constitutional monarchy, did not need the comfort of his enemy. "There is infinite possibilities to live. If you agree to peaceful reunification, I can give you the Gibson family a lifetime of peace."
"I promise, but those people will not agree." Gary Gibson knew the bargaining chips in his hands before coming. "I am just a vow of a monarchy now. You told me that the state system of constitutional monarchy is naturally known. You naturally know that I can only be regarded as a vase that can walk and speak at best. If you want to keep me safe for a lifetime, it is better to discuss with those grand masters to see if you can find a better solution."
"They are not you, nor are you," Gastens waved his hand casually, "We will definitely unify Ankenryin, and you will definitely fail now. Therefore, talking to you or talking to those old nobles does not actually affect the overall situation. On the contrary, your current position and identity are the most suitable candidates."
"Is the person who announced the surrender?" Gary Gibson smiled bitterly, "Teacher, you really taught a good student, specifically for taking the blame."
"If your purpose is the same as in the beginning, and you still want the continuation of the Gibson family, then you are the one."
Gastens picked up the teapot next to him and the emperor opposite him to make a cup of black leaf tea, "Try it, you only drank it once when you were in Elena, and you never drink it again. In fact, this is the taste of life."
Gary Gibson picked up the cup of tea and drank it all in one go.
"Teacher, we will still resist. We will do everything we can to resist. I will not give up hope until the last moment. This is the reason you gave me. If you insist on blaming, blame yourself."
Perhaps it was because of the bitterness of tea, Gary Gibson frowned and gave the answer word by word. Gastens smiled indifferently, "Okay, this is your character. But no matter when, as long as you are willing to surrender before the end of the war, I will keep your Gibson family safe for the rest of your life."
"Okay, thank you teacher. I hope we will be healthy next time we add the noodles."
Gary Gibson stood up, saluted, and turned to leave. Gastens looked at the young man's back and smiled slightly.
No matter how much you experience, a teenager is still a teenager after all.

On August 5, 854, the First Legion and the Third Legion of the Workers and Peasants Revolutionary Army of Elena launched a full-scale attack on Ankenryin Republic from the north and south sides, in cooperation with the First Behemoth War and the Second Behemoth War. Ankenry, who was responsible for guarding Roswell, retreated because of the security forces. Roswell changed hands within one day after the war started. Afterwards, Elena's troops drove straight in and encountered the first line of defense of Ankenryin Republic in Milumiya Province and the central part of the province of Long Province. The troops from Duller Conton, Lingyan, and Lanni Dupontyer, Climb Fort, duke deep trenches, used anti-tank piles to build defense lines, and invested more than 200,000 troops. The two sides fought fiercely on the Three Legion Plain for two days, and the two Grand Dukes' troops were defeated and dispersed. Elena left the Third Legion to consolidate the liberated area and sent the Fourth Legion and the First Legion to continue the attack.
On September 13, Lu Yuan, the Elena army successively recovered the high-ranking province of Milumiya and advanced to Ronninger. Ankenry was forced to transfer the Glacier Line defense defenders westward because of the Republic's noble parliament and Emperor Gary Gibson, and fought with the Elena army 120 kilometers west of Ronninger. The battle lasted for half a day, the Glacier Line defense troops were defeated, and a large number of soldiers surrendered.
On September 27, Lu Yuan, the first legion of the Elena Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, which was completed, and the Fourth Legion besieged Roninger. Emperor Gary Gibson surrendered and declared that the Annrein Republic was unconditionally incorporated into the Annrein People's Communist Republic. At this point, the Annrein Empire, which had existed for 833 years, came to an end.
On September 28, 854, when the Elena army began to accept the entire territory of Ankenrien, Gukohein Foster, a famous general of the Alante Empire, led the 77th and 78th Army of the Alante Empire to cross the glacier defense line and invade a large-scale invasion, occupying the Anbao Province in the eastern part of the Ankenrien Republic, and deploying troops to the border, resolutely preventing the Elena army from regaining Anbao.
————————————
"This Gukohein Foster has had a criminal record of using troops without authorization before. Is it his own action this time?"
Standing at the top of Ronninger's city, Gastens was wearing a coat and felt the wind of Dong'an Kenrien. The temperature here was much lower than that of Elena. The wind blew on his face, and it also reduced the heat of late summer and the coldness of autumn.
"I don't think the substantive occupation of two armies is his own idea," Sink Warren stood beside Gastens. He was used to Gastens's style of following the large force whenever he fought, and he also made himself a member of the core of the mobile leadership. "Although the intelligence now shows that the preparations for the Three Kingdoms are still continuing and not sufficient, it is not ruled out that the Alant Empire wants to test our bottom line through this military operation."
"What bottom line? Want to see if we will take action? If they don't know my personality yet, they will really make me underestimate them."
Gastens frowned and figured out what he meant opposite. He must have won the Onborg Province. Only by opening up the eastern border can the strategic situation of Ankenrien fundamentally change. Therefore, no matter what the Alangte Empire has, he has only one way to deal with it.
attack.
"Are the troops ready? If you are OK, start attacking tomorrow."
Gastens turned to look at the communications officer. Because the front line command was already stationed on the west side of Onborg Province, the only ones next to him were the communications officers from the command.
"Chairman, it's ready, everyone is holding their breath, as you said, no one can bully us Ankenrien!"
The correspondent soldier is very young, and looks only seventeen or eighteen years old. Gastenth nodded at him, watched him leave, and chuckled gently. He is in a good mood now. These young people grew up in the environment of Elena. They have been to school, have culture, technology, and accept scientific concepts. They are the real new generation and the hope of Elena in the future.
"Boss, you said, can we win?"
"Of course, we are Ailena, Ailena's army, and we have never been afraid of anyone!"
————————————
Although Gastens said it was relaxed, the atmosphere on the front line was not as relaxed as he did. After all, this was the first time to face the army of the world's largest power, and the First Legion responsible for the attack, everyone was a little expectant and nervous.
"Captain Becken Legion, you are ready, order!"
In the front command of the thick felt cloth, Brolin Warren, chief of staff and director of the political department of the First Corps of the Revolutionary Army of Elena, stood straight, looking at Becken Warren.
"Then let's fight! Let's see if the Alangte Empire is the same as the legendary one, worthy of their title as the world's number one power!"
"Okay! Pass the commander of the legion and attack!"
Brolin Warren turned around and issued the order with the greatest strength. In an instant, the horn representing the charge rang outside the military tent. Becken Warren and Brolin Warren walked out of the military tent at the same time, picked up the telescope, and began to observe the direction of the war.
In Becken Warren's plan, he still used the most effective and powerful tactics of Elena now. The armored forces of the First Behemoth War regiment advanced, and the infantry of the First Legion followed closely, protecting the flanks, like a spear, smashing any obstacles blocking them. This set of tactics, Cong Enspan, used Ronninger all the way, and never suffered a defeat. Even if the enemy in the middle used various methods to prevent the armored forces from advancing, it only delayed the failure time and could not change the outcome of the war.
In Becken Warren's vision, the huge beast chariot had turned into a black dot the size of a thumb. He could see the infantry moving forward with the tanks, densely packed with long black marks on the battlefield. He could also see the enemy's army, the Alonte Empire army in off-white clothes. They hid in bunkers and trenches, looked around from time to time, but rarely fired.
"The enemy has not been picked up yet."
Chief of Staff Brolin Warren whispered that he, like Becken Warren, was concerned about the direction of the war.
"It's almost done."
Becken Warren did not reply too much, and all his attention was on the giant beasts. The black and steel-made shadows moved forward with his eyes and then stopped in front of a clear trench. The support car behind the giant beasts began to move forward and fill the thick logs they carried with them into the trench. At the same time, the steam machine guns on the giant beasts began to suppress fire to ensure that the enemy would not interfere with their own filling of the trench. Becken Warren could see the figure of the enemy. They seemed to want to launch a counterattack, but were quickly suppressed by the dense firepower on the giant beasts. After all, facing an invincible and almost invincible enemy, not many people had the courage to fight for a long time.
It took half an hour to fill a path through the trench. During this time, the infantry following the tank were very cautious and did not rashly expose themselves to the enemy's vitality. The snipers hidden in the dark were still continuing their work. Becken Warren could see some small enemy figures falling from time to time. Although he could not tell whether it was killed by the giant beast's steam gun or by the sniper, he was more inclined to believe that his snipers had almost destroyed the enemy's grassroots command system.
After about half an hour, the beasts passed through four paths filled at the same time, and unfolded the formation after the trenches. The infantry following them followed closely behind them, step by step, forcing the enemy out of their first line of defense. After that, the beasts encountered a second different obstacle, four-pyramid-shaped anti-tank piles. These heavy cement products were placed in a wide area, but they were not regular. Before, the beasts encountered such an east.
Xi, there is no good way to deal with these things. The commanders found a strategy to deal with it after being delayed twice. The new high-power steam default trucks were sent up. These large industrial equipment equipped with Elena's current maximum power automotive steam engine - Zhuri Type 1, can push these cement piles away with almost no effort, making a way for the giant beast. However, these industrial machinery moves very slowly, and it takes time to enter the battlefield and escape.
"I always feel..."
Becken Warren was always feeling a little unhappy as his armored forces broke through the enemy's various defense lines one by one, "I always feel that the enemy is using this battle to experiment with it to see what tactics can best deal with the giant beasts. So far, I have discovered more than four different obstacles and trenches."
"They are good at this abacus," Brolin Warren answered with a telescope, "War with our soldiers on our land and test our tactics. They themselves hide behind the bunker and have no strong desire to defend. Corps Commander, I think your guess is correct. They are indeed testing their own tactics in this way."
"It's not that simple to want us to be a sparring player," Becken Warren sneered. "And, I'm curious, should they despair or be glad when they find that no means can defeat our offense and can only temporarily reduce the speed of our offense, should they despair or be glad?"
"What are you glad?" Brolin didn't keep up with Becken's thoughts for a while and asked curiously.
"Good they don't need to really fight a national war with us."
Becken Warren watched the enemy in his sight withdraw from a line of defense again and put down his telescope.
"There is nothing to see. They just came to experiment. There are very few head-on conflicts and they ran away with a shot. These sluts."
"This is the army of the world's most powerful country," Brolin sighed softly, "League Commander, don't you think we are really strong?"
"Of course," Becken Warren picked up the telescope again. Although he felt bored, as the commander of the legion, he had to always observe the dynamics of the battlefield.
