Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The short stay in Stalingrad did not delay Chen Xin's itinerary. After replenishing supplies, the frigate set off again towards Europe.

    However, after the land cruiser took off, Chen Xin left the cabin and came to the deck to overlook this city that left a great reputation in the history of World War II.

    In that war, which could be called a catastrophe for mankind, Suvia and Germany fought fiercely around this city. Both sides invested heavily in this city and suffered a combined casualty of more than two million people.  It can be called the bloodiest and most tragic war in modern history.

    But now, looking from the sky, it is difficult to find the remaining traces of that war.

    On the contrary, this city has been rebuilt a long time ago, and now it has become an important logistics node for Lucia to deliver supplies to the Eastern European defense line under construction. The whole city seems very lively.

    Stalingrad itself is an important main production area of ??grain, coal and fuel in Lucia. The Germans attacked here in order to obtain the rich resources in southern Lucia.

    Now, these precious resources are transported here, and then transported to the Eastern European defense line to support the construction of the defense line.

    Looking at this scene, Chen Xin asked the officer who had been following him: "What is the current progress of the construction of the Eastern European defense line? Do you think this defense line will be used?"

    "Currently, 60% of the main construction of the Eastern European Defense Line has been completed, and several fortresses at important defense nodes are also under construction, but I only hope that this is a Maginot Line of Defense." Faced with Chen Xin's question, the officer replied  Some of them were beyond his expectation.

    Hearing the officer mention the French Defense Line, which is famous in world military history, although Chen Xin could understand what he meant, he still asked: "Why do you say that?"

    "Isn't it true that a defense line that has taken a lot of resources and effort to build but has not been put into use is in line with the purpose of the Eastern European Defense Line?" Regarding the Eastern European Defense Line, the officer's natural thought was that it would never be put to use: "Although we  We all know the necessity of building a defense line in Eastern Europe, but if this line of defense is really put to use, it means that the entire Europe has fallen. This is probably not the result you want, Academician Chen, right?"

    The Maginot Line was a line of defense built by France during World War II to resist possible attacks by the Germans. It was intended to prevent a tragic war like the one during World War I, and the tragic situation of being beaten to the gates of the capital.

    However, the Germans did not attack this line of defense head-on. Instead, they bypassed the forest on the side of the line of defense. This line of defense, which the French had spent a lot of time and energy building, became a display. At lightning speed, it took more than a month.  Within a short period of time, the French signed the surrender document.

    When the officer mentioned this line of defense at this time, he certainly hoped that the Eastern European defense line would be useless like the Maginot Line.

    After all, if this line of defense really comes into use, it means that France, Italy, Austria and other countries on the front line are all defeated by alien creatures. Even Germany has fallen. Otherwise, the alien creatures will  Bingfeng can't get here.

    However, Chen Xin had another level of worry. He asked the officer: "What is the situation in the Black Sea? Have those alien creatures broken through the Turkish Strait?"

    Although the Eastern European defense line can block the offensive of alien creatures from the land, if they break through the Turkish Strait and launch an attack from the Black Sea, they can bypass the Eastern European defense line and then penetrate directly into the Asian continent, making the entire Eastern European defense line look like March.  Just like the Nordic Line of Defense, it's really just a decoration.

    "At present, the situation is quite ideal. Turkey is not the main direction of the alien creatures' attack. Although the offensive is also very fierce, due to the determined resistance of several countries on the Balkan Peninsula, they have blocked the alien creatures in the dark.  Overseas." When the officer mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but have a hint of respect for those countries: "Currently Lucia is thinking of ways to provide support to them, and has extended the Eastern European defense line to the Turkish Strait, including here.  The planning scope of the defense line has been limited, and this is currently the only combat zone on the entire Eastern European defense line.¡±

    Hearing what the officer said, Chen Xin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

    As the birthplace of the First World War, the Balkan Peninsula has always been called the Balkan powder keg. Ethnic, religious and other issues have always kept this region in a state of war for a long time. They fought it themselves and foreign intervention forces

    There has been little peace in this land. Even at the end of the last century, the embassy established by Yan State here was bombed

    Although more than 20 years have passed, many people have gradually forgotten this period of history, but as a representative of that era,As a born person, Chen Xin has personally experienced those things. He was even one of those who took to the streets to protest.

    However, now, the Federation that caused the embassy bombing incident has been destroyed by natural disasters, and the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are also friendly forces in need of support and unity.

    Thinking of this, Chen Xin only felt an unspeakable irony, but this is an inevitable result of the current situation. People can't help but sigh, if there really are so-called gods that exist and are controlling the fate of the damned,  Then he must be a hopeless bastard.

    However, despite thinking this way, Chen Xin had no intention of retaliating against the European countries or cheating them. After all, these countries are now comrades in the same camp resisting the invasion of alien creatures. cheating them led to their defeat and the collapse of the European defense line.  Alien creatures driving straight in are obviously not what Chen Xin wants.

    But not cheating them doesn¡¯t mean that they can¡¯t suffer a little or shed some blood. After all, Yan Country¡¯s assistance is not free. Since they want all kinds of materials and equipment supported by Yan Country, then they can give it to Yan Country.  Isn't it fair to exchange it for a price and benefit that satisfies the country?

    As for free aid Yan Guo may not dare to ask for it if it dares to give it to them. The most expensive thing in the world is free.

    Thinking about these issues, Chen Xin was still a little worried about the Turkish Strait, so he asked the officer: "Can we go to the Turkish Strait on our return trip? I hope to know about the defense construction there. After all, if the Turkish Strait is breached,  All our efforts now are in vain.¡±

    "I understand. I will apply to the country. If we get permission from the country, we can go there." The officer nodded and did not refuse. Although he needed to prevent Chen Xin from running around to ensure his safety, he did not  Chen Xin was not allowed to go anywhere.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
