Alien Arms Empire.

Lao Li is a very ordinary big Chinese. After he joined the army at the age of 29, he has been living a dawdling life with a salary.Being a soldier is just a profession for him, because the Great China Empire did not give soldiers the meaning of fighting for it.

The soldiers of the Tang Empire shouldered historical responsibilities. They wanted to defend their happy life and liberate those oppressed and enslaved compatriots, so they had the meaning of fighting for it, and they had the belief to go forward bravely.

It has to be said that the propaganda machine of the Datang Empire performed well enough, and the soldiers of the Datang Empire really hoped that they were doing righteous things.

Because the Great Tang Empire has carried out a series of reforms, even from the most superficial point of view, the Great Tang Empire can indeed be called the light of the world, and the wars launched by the Great Tang Empire are indeed saving the people from fire and water.

The life of the soldiers of the Dahua Empire is completely different, let alone saving others, they can't even save themselves.

These soldiers are often deducted from their military pay, and at the same time they have to undertake many jobs that do not belong to them in normal times: helping nobles in farming, and working as short-term labor for commanders.

Frankly speaking, the military training time of these soldiers is not as long as the time they spent helping the landlord's house.

When the war started, these soldiers were all cannon fodder, holding weapons that were not very useful, and using all kinds of equipment of poor quality to challenge enemies that were thousands of times stronger than before.

This made the soldiers of the Dahua Empire generally have low combat effectiveness. Many times they just dealt with errands and then surrendered or were defeated.

Lao Li is actually such an ordinary Dahua soldier. He steals and plays tricks on the battlefield, and most of the time he only thinks about his own life.

On this day, he returned to his familiar rhythm, and everything around him seemed to return to the way it used to be, and he could do the most familiar work of soldiers of the Dahua Empire again.

That's right, what the soldiers of the Great China Empire are most familiar with is not fighting, but working... Lao Li joined the labor force in a place full of rubble and ruins.

He didn't even bring the Cyric 1 rifle that was not very useful, so he just walked in the open space that he didn't dare to approach on weekdays, picked up half a brick at random, and then walked back to the side of the road, feeling comfortable. Throw the broken brick in the corner.

Not only him, everyone around is doing similar jobs.Some engineers have their own shovels and picks, but most of them can only use their hands to pick up the broken bricks and tiles scattered in the open space.

Where to throw these broken stones and broken tiles depends entirely on where the location is closer. If it is closer to the roadside, then throw it on the roadside. If the crater is closer, then throw it directly into the crater. .

The officers of the Dahua Empire, who had long been reluctant to continue fighting, stood together and smoked non-stop, enjoying this long-lost comfortable time.

On weekdays, they would never dare to stand in broad daylight like this. It is no different from a fixed target. Fengjiang's snipers will immediately open fire and open a hole in their heads.

Before the truce in Fengjiang, when moving in the ruins of the city, every movement must be very careful. You must always observe the movement around you, and pay attention to the corners around you that are suitable for sniping.

At that time, even when I went to the bathroom, I didn't dare to stand upright, and sometimes I couldn't see the sun once for several days.Everyone is like a cockroach in the crevice, like a rat in the sewer, suffering with every breath.

Every minute and every second must be cautious, and this feeling is really driving people crazy.So when the news of the temporary ceasefire came, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This time the ceasefire was not decided between Fengjiang and Dahua, but was facilitated by the mediation of the Tang Empire-there is a difference, because if it is an agreement reached between Fengjiang and Dahua, then there may be a ceasefire There may be some problems during the period, but this matter is led by the Tang Empire, so in the eyes of everyone, there is really no problem.

A Dahua officer in the distance lit a cigarette and exhaled a breath of white air, as if the whole person had come to life.

Beside him, there are military officers stretching their waists while telling jokes. It feels as if he is stepping on the beach for vacation instead of being in a city that is about to be destroyed.

Lao Li also felt very comfortable. He is a cowardly person who cherishes his life. It is much happier to let him stand in the sun and pick up rocks than to let him rush forward with the enemy's machine gun fire.

So he works very seriously. This kind of hard work attitude makes Lao Li very popular with his commander: no one doesn't like the kind of guy who repairs the door when his house is broken, and collects the vegetables when the vegetables are ripe. coolie.

So before coming to Fengjiang, Lao Li's immediate superior gave Lao Li the title of logistics captain, making Lao Li an officer.

It's just that this officer really has no status. The Dahua Empire itself doesn't pay much attention to the logistics force, and the rank of the captain of the logistics force is actually not high.

According to the standards of the front-line troops, Lao Li, an officer, is at most a squad leader, with only seven old, weak, sick and disabled under his command. He is in charge of distributing various supplies on weekdays, and sometimes he has to help in the kitchen.

Because of the increasing shortage of supplies, soldiers like Lao Li no longer have cigarettes, and they have not seen other front-line subsidies such as bread for a long time.

This kind of treatment is really inferior to the Fengjiang army on the opposite side. Chocolate candies and all kinds of messy snacks can often be found on the corpses of those damn rebels.

On weekdays, everyone dare not touch the enemy's corpse easily, because it is likely to be reimbursed by the enemy's snipers.Therefore, it is not realistic to search for food by rummaging through corpses, and the soldiers in Dahua can only eat and sleep in the open.

It's really been a long time since they had a hot meal. If it wasn't for the ceasefire, they might not be able to enjoy the hot meal now.

Dozens of soldiers walked over from Fengjiang Army's position holding a brand new rail. They chanted and lifted the rail to the corresponding position step by step.

Because the crater hadn't been filled and the sleepers hadn't been put in place, the rails had to be put aside.In terms of efficiency, it seems that the Tang Empire behind Fengjiang will always be higher.

"Brothers have worked hard, this is the soda that the Tang Empire rewards everyone." Dozens of Fengjiang soldiers walked over carrying boxes of drinks, and it seemed that they also enjoyed such a rare peaceful time.

The suitcases were placed on the side of the road one by one, and the leading officer Fengjiang even used a bottle opener to pry open a bottle of soda, and handed it directly to the officer Dahua who came over.

The Dahua officer was also welcome, because he had already enjoyed the sweetness of this drink yesterday.He grabbed the soda and drank it with his head up. The spicy stimulation accompanied by the taste of the essence reverberated on his tongue repeatedly, which opened up all the taste buds of Officer Dahua at once.

Although the weather was already very cold at this time, the icy feeling hit his stomach all of a sudden, which still made Officer Dahua burp in satisfaction, with a satisfied expression on his face.

After taking the second bottle of flavored soda, the officer finally showed mercy. He waved and shouted to Lao Li: "Lao Li! Come and drink soda! The rest of you, come here! Line up, don't let me go!" How uncomfortable!"

After hearing the order, the Dahua soldiers began to gather together, with various smiles on their faces.One after another, they took the delicious soda from Fengjiang soldiers, as if they were not the ones who threw grenades at each other a few days ago.

"Did you bring it?" Lao Li came to the corner with a Fengjiang soldier mysteriously, holding a soda, looked back at the officer circle in the distance, and asked in a low voice.

"Bring it! Where's the money?" The Fengjiang soldier took out a pack of cigarettes from the side of his clothes, some of which were even unsealed, counted them one by one, and put them in Lao Li's hand.

"You count." Lao Li took out a bundle of banknotes from his pocket, all of which were the "gold coins" of the Tang Empire, the so-called Tang Yuan.

After giving the money, he began to look down at the unpacked cigarettes to see if there was any missing quantity: obviously, these cigarettes were made together, and some of the packs were wrinkled, but the cigarettes inside were still considered high-quality. Looks good.

"Don't give me less! I have to reconcile the account when I go back." Lao Li put the cigarettes in his arms and warned the Fengjiang soldier who was counting the money.

"Can I give you a few less cigarettes?" The Fengjiang soldier took out three bars of chocolate from another pocket with disdain, which is obviously an advanced gadget only for the snipers of the Tang Empire: "Look at you bear!" Sample! Take it to your officer, and bring a bag tomorrow, I have canned food and instant noodles here, all of which are really good things.”

"Really? What's the price?" Lao Li was almost drooling, and asked directly with his eyes shining.

The Fengjiang soldier took out a price list from his chest pocket very professionally, and stuffed it to Lao Li: "According to the above price! I will give your officer a tenth of the profit later, and you will take less. No shit."

At this moment, Lao Li was deeply shocked by the other party's professionalism: he really didn't expect that such a shameful transaction could be so blatantly displayed on the surface.

If someone is caught, this kind of crime of liaison with foreign countries, wouldn't he be sentenced to be shot or something?Even if you don't beat him to death as an example, it won't be unfair to just lock him up for ten years, right?

If he, Lao Li, hadn't been in charge of the logistics stall, he would have been pushed by some friends below. How dare he trade cigarettes with people from Fengjiang.

But there are too many old smokers. It was okay to have low-quality cigarettes supplied from the rear before. Recently, even those grass leaves are gone. Those people are about to roll waste paper and smoke two puffs.
