Hero

Early in the morning, intelligence about Land Battleship was placed on the desks of various countries.

Everyone knows that Gefra is conducting research on secret army equipment. Their navy is indeed very powerful, but their army...

Therefore, various countries had long had reports and speculations about Gefra's research into secret army equipment, and had also sent some spies. Most of the intelligence people received contained the same information— Land Battleship.

The Gefra ' Invincible Fleet made them want to transplant their naval theories onto land, but this idea was ridiculous. Some even said in private that if the Gefra could bring their ships to land, they would swallow the excrement of the Gefra Emperor.

More than a year has passed, Land Battleship project, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared before people's eyes, which surprised them greatly.

As Gefra's largest partner and also its strongest adversary, the Federal will naturally pay close attention to all of Gefra's military developments.

Early in the morning, some relevant information was sent back to China via telegram. Military experts at the Department of Defense used these detailed descriptions to help some art students recreate the appearance of the Land Battleship on paper.

"A terrifying, twisted, and ferocious war machine!"

During a meeting within the Department of Defense, the Secretary of Defense slapped the sketch on the table with his hand, his expression grave. "Why didn't we have any further news before this?"

His voice grew louder, "We're in a very passive position now!"

Anyone who sees this steel monster in the drawing will be amazed; the Gefra people really brought their battleships to land.

Of course, due to some errors in description, the drawings that the Department of Defense has received, as well as the Cannon Train in the drawings, are actually much larger in size than the actual train.

Designers from major domestic Military Industrial Group also attended the meeting. They were looking at the drawings and whispering among themselves.

The military's arms committee members looked at the drawings and quickly offered a different opinion. "They're just for show, Minister. You don't need to frighten yourself or us."

The Minister of Minister of Defense, whose brow had been furrowed, showed no sign of being more angry than before after being contradicted. He looked at the two officers with some doubt and asked, "Are they just for show?"

Before the officers of the Armaments Committee could answer, a designer from a military industrial enterprise preemptively answered the question, "Yes, Minister, we did a simple calculation based on this somewhat imprecise sketch, and such military machinery has considerable requirements for the load-bearing capacity of the roadbed."

"First of all, it is not suitable for all places. Secondly, its reliance on the tracks is a fatal flaw. It is indeed difficult for us to destroy such a train from the front, but to destroy the tracks, we only need a howitzer!"

The designer is absolutely right. These are indeed the biggest drawbacks of this Land Battleship. Once the tracks are destroyed, it has little value other than being stuck in place and passively taking hits.

Compared to the Minister of Minister of Defense's exaggerated reactions, the designers at the defense industry seemed quite relaxed. They even felt that the lack of further news about the plan over the past year was not because the Gefra had kept it well hidden, but because they should probably give up.

Too many restrictions rendered this war machine largely ineffective, making it unnecessary to mass-produce it and send it to the front lines to become wrecked.

The Minister of Defense wasn't so relaxed; he raised a new question, "What if they could quickly repair the damaged railway?"

The military personnel then added, "Then we'll make it impossible for them to repair the railroad!"

The atmosphere in the room quickly became relaxed. It had too many drawbacks, but of course, it did have some advantages, such as the sense of pressure it brought on the front lines.

If three or five of these things appeared on the front lines at the same time, they would definitely become the enemy's nightmare. But fortunately, it has too many restrictions, one of which is that it must be parked on the track.

An orbit is not an ocean; it cannot go wherever it wants, thus greatly reducing the threat it poses.

The discussion became much more relaxed afterward, to the point that people started talking about how to strengthen and improve this war machine...

"Minister ..."

While everyone was having a heated discussion, an official stood at the door, exchanged a few words with the Secretary of Defense, and then quickly left. The Minister of Defense also apologized to everyone and then left.

The Fleet Commander and naval Captain who carried out the bandit suppression order have returned to report for duty.

As soon as they got off the train, the entire Bu Peien station was packed with people. When the Fleet Commander and Captain appeared before the crowd, the entire station was almost lifted off its roof by the roaring cheers!

Cheers soared to the heavens, and eventually the chaotic shouts merged into a unified and orderly chant, "Long Live the Federation!"

Simple, powerful—no words could be more powerful at this moment.

Standing on the steps outside the station, looking at the densely packed crowd, the Commander-in-Chief's eyes welled up with tears. He looked at the people around him and said, "I always feel that we missed a great rise. If we had been more actively involved in that war, would the world be in a different shape now?"

"Fortunately, although we lost one opportunity, we seized another. Look, we are stronger and more resilient than we imagined!"

The Commander-in-Chief's words greatly excited his deputy. "This is your achievement, all the glory belongs to you, Commander!"

"No...", the Commander-in-Chief shook his head and strode down the steps. "This moment belongs to the Federal!"

Because there were so many enthusiastic citizens, the journey for the fleet Captain to the Ministry of Department of Defense was "extended" indefinitely. People were loudly expressing their excitement along the roadside, and all of this was reported truthfully.

However, this also created some trouble for the Minister of Defense. How should he deal with the Commander? In a sense, this annihilating naval battle directly shattered Gefra's hegemony on the sea and won the Federal actual control of the entire East Ocean. The Commander was a great contributor to the Federal.

But no matter how you explain it or try to cover it up, there's still a problem here.

That is, the fleet Commander only issued the annihilation order after the Gefra raised the white flag and surrendered. First, he violated the strategic plan designated by the Department of Defense. Second, what he did was very inhumane. Finally, and most importantly, his decision directly pushed the relationship between the Gefra and the Federal into an unknown place.

If war breaks out because of this, then he will be a sinner, and countless people will die because of him.

His current success, and the fact that he is hailed as a hero, is based solely on the fact that Emperor of Gefra is able to rationally view the relationship between the two countries.

If he were a madman, as insane as some of his ancestors, and war were raging, the current Fleet Commander would not be a hero.

The nation's future cannot be gambled on an unplanned idea. The internal discussion within the Department of Defense resulted in the removal of him from his positions Fleet Commander and Navy Lieutenant General, and then, depending on the circumstances, a period of time would be considered for his temporary vacancy.

After all, the Gefra people are still watching, and the Federal can't just elevate him to the status of a national hero; that would only exacerbate the conflict with the Gefra.

However, his popularity sometimes makes public opinion difficult to deal with.

After a long wait, the group finally arrived at the Department of Defense and met with the Secretary of Defense at the gate.

In fact, it wasn't just the ordinary people lingering outside who had an almost fanatical admiration for this Commander; some young girls and Young Men from within the Department of Defense also came over to see up close what kind of hero he was.

The Commander stepped forward and shook hands with the Secretary of Defense. "Shall I be Handcuffs?"

The Minister of Defense rolled his eyes and shook his arm forcefully a few times. "You have no idea how passive you've put us. Since this morning, Gefra's Diplomatic Ambassador has been outside the Presidential Palace, waiting for your return and for a message!"

It wasn't just these people in the Department of Defense who were paying attention to the Commander's itinerary; Gefra's Diplomatic Ambassador was also keeping a close eye on it. In any case, Gefra's losses could not be concealed.

Even if they don't admit it, and the Federal doesn't admit it either, were all those 《Military Observation》 just lying through their teeth? So the Federal has to give Gefra an explanation, even if it's just a superficial one. The Federal has to give them an explanation.

Emperor of Gefra needs to silence some people, and if he is not given a dignified chance to admit his defeat, some issues will become quite troublesome.

The Commander was unaware of the power struggles behind these events and didn't care to think about them; all he wanted now was a long vacation.

"No matter what, let me know the result first. I don't want to be sent to the execution ground without knowing why!" he joked, and it seemed like he was really joking, but he was truly prepared to go to the execution ground.

The Minister of Defense shook his head, released his grip, and sighed in relief. "You're exaggerating. And we're not as bad as you think. We have no tradition of betraying our colleagues for peace, but you might lose your job..."

The two stared at each other for a moment, one wanting the other to feel her sincerity, while the other wanted to discern whether the other was genuine or not.

Seven or eight seconds later, just as the two were about to let go, the Minister of Defense leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice, "Welcome home..."

Next, the soldiers from the Department of Defense excitedly shook hands with the Commander, saying similar things to express their excitement.

Today is a beautiful day, with gentle breezes and bright sunshine.

Feeling great after adding it
