Doctor, I'm really strong!

"Great, little sister, you're finally awake."

Little sister?

Far Fang turned his head and saw a doctor in a white robe. Judging from the horns on her head, she was a Sarkaz.

"How are you feeling? Does anything feel uncomfortable? Can you see my hand clearly?"

Yuan Ya nodded and asked in a somewhat weak voice, "Where is this?"

"This is the First People's Hospital of Yansk. I am an attending physician here. You can call me Furong."

"Dr. Furong, did you save me?"

"To be precise, I performed the surgery on you. It was those soldiers who saved you. By the way, I saw the information on your ID card (the kind of identification card that all Kazimierz competitive knights have, similar to an ID card). You are an infected competitive knight from Kazimierz, right? You're so young to be on the battlefield."

Towards the end, Furong's expression became somewhat reluctant.

The current Terran People's Community absolutely forbids children from going to war; they should go to schools and playgrounds, not to life-or-death battlefields.

Yuan Ya is at most sixteen or seventeen years old, but the information on her identity card shows that she has two years of experience as a competitive knight. Given the bloody nature of the Kazimierz Knight Arena, which is like a gladiator, and considering she was born as an infected, anyone who can survive and win must be a ruthless person.

However, there are advantages. Such people tend to have better physical fitness and are more likely to survive serious injuries.

Farya didn't find the identity of a competitive knight strange at all; she was already used to her current life. However, she still asked curiously, "How did I survive? I remember being injured in the liver."

Furong smiled and replied, "It's simple, I'll just get you a new one."

Yuan Ya was dumbfounded. Why did you speak as casually as if you were changing a screw on a bicycle?

This involves induced pluripotent stem cell technology and organ reconstruction technology. With top Rhodes Island medical personnel such as Kal'tsit at the helm, and Liu Jiuli investing heavily, they managed to develop this technology and promote it rapidly.

If it weren't for the high labor costs of surgery (requiring highly skilled medical personnel to perform the surgery), and the severe shortage of advanced medical staff, the community would have already developed to the point of "replacing whatever is uncomfortable."

Next, we can consider genetic ascension, having two hearts and three lungs (laughs).

After a brief silence, Yuan Ya asked the most practical question: "Why did you save me?"

Furong replied, "It's not just you I'm saving; we're saving everyone."

Far Fang: "Why?"

"If I had to say something..." Furong thought for a moment, then gently replied, "We are not enemies."

This time, it was Yuan Ya who was stunned. We're not the enemy?

Why? We've come with all sorts of weapons, aren't we the enemy? What does this mean?

Furong naturally noticed the confusion in Yuanya's eyes, but she just smiled, then wrapped Yuanya in the blanket, indicating that she should rest well and that there would be plenty of opportunities to find the answer once she recovered.

"Dr. Furong, may I ask one last question?"

"Okay, you say."

"My teammates, Greyhair, Flametail, and Wildhammer, we are all members of the Red Pine Knights, have they also been captured?"

Furong shook her head: "I don't know, because not all prisoners of war were sent to the hospital, but I'll try to find out for you. If they were also captured, I assure you, their lives are definitely better than before."

Following up on that, Yuan Ya asked again, "Why?"

Furong smiled and gave the same answer: "Because we are not enemies."

Under the brutal firepower of the Terra Red Army, two-thirds of the more than 30,000 men in the Kazimierz Legion were killed on the spot. In the end, only 5127 were captured, and some escaped. There was no need to pursue those who escaped; the Ursus winter would take care of it, and they would only become stiff corpses on the snowfield.

The Terra Red Army suffered more than twenty wounded, but none were killed.

Some of them had sprained their ankles, accidentally stepped into empty spaces, or were injured by their own people.

In general, the fighting strength of this Kazimierz army was not exactly weak, but it was practically nonexistent. Their final charge was no different from cleaning up the battlefield. This Kazimierz expeditionary force, armed with mercenaries and gladiators, simply disappeared into the annals of history without even making a ripple.

All the enemy soldiers, whether lightly or seriously wounded, received medical treatment. This was a testament to the world-renowned humanitarianism. However, even from the most pragmatic perspective, treating these prisoners of war, especially the seriously wounded, could effectively improve the skills of our medical personnel. If they couldn't be saved, it was their fate. At least the prisoners of war were grateful. Compared to countries that treat people like livestock, the Terra Red Army's level of advancement was on a leap forward.

Human beings are the foundation of everything. Once the human problem is solved, then there will be no other problem.

Many newly recruited medical personnel have grown rapidly in these treatment processes. Saving the enemy today can help them better save their comrades tomorrow. Moreover, the person you save today may be our comrade tomorrow.

Victory is only the first step; the real challenge lies in the subsequent transformation. The truly powerful and effective strategies are all aboveboard and legitimate.

Chapter 207: The Attack of Rembiton

(Today is a good day, so even if I'm busy, I'll still update extra! ?(^?^))

What Yuan Ya didn't know was that none of the Red Pine Knights had escaped; they had all become prisoners of the Red Army.

Normally. At Yansk's current latitude, the weather is worse than the dead of winter in Northeast China. Even if the Terrans are superhumanly strong, they are not Space Marines wearing power armor. How could they possibly outrun the Terran Red Army wearing flexible exoskeletons and exoskeleton armor? You know, 50-kilogram cross-country running is standard training for the Terran Red Army. Iron feet paired with real iron feet, it would be a miracle if they could outrun them.

Those who actually escaped were simply too lazy for the Terra Red Army to capture, not because they couldn't be caught.

Although the Kazimir Legion's attack failed, they were not the main force to begin with, and the news of the entire legion's annihilation was not noticed until more than a month later, and it did not cause much of a stir.

Clearly, none of the countries considered the troops sent by Kazimir to be of any use. If it had been the Silver Spear Pegasus, they might have been worthy of making the headlines. But now it was just a bunch of rabble being wiped out, which doesn't prove anything.

Hopefully, when these people captured by the Red Army reappear on the battlefield in the future, they will think the same way.

Meanwhile, the main Allied force, which was originally planned to break through Irongrad, encountered great obstacles in the direction of Kharkiv. Pavel's initial battle report was indeed ridiculed by his colleagues, but when other people attacked, they fared even worse than Pavel. This forced the Allied command to begin reassessing the community's defense system.

"It's guns and cannons! The enemy's guns and cannons can shoot farther and are more powerful than ours!"

"It wasn't just the guns that were the problem. Our infantry tried to launch an attack, but they were decimated by the enemy's barrage of fire. The enemy's individual firepower was also a big problem. Those rapid-fire guns were ridiculously powerful!"

Because the Community's heavy artillery posed too great a threat, and the Allied forces lacked the capability to counter artillery (they couldn't reach it), and would be quickly locked onto by the enemy as soon as they fired, they had already noticed the Community's aerial reconnaissance capabilities, but didn't have a good solution.

The reason is that the warfare model on Terra is still two-dimensional. Three-dimensional warfare is a form of dimensional reduction. They haven't even organized effective air defense firepower yet.

What's even more infuriating is that when the Red Army reported that the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower was almost zero, Liu Jiuli immediately arranged for a group of Il-2s to go up and harass the Allied ground forces, quickly causing them a very serious psychological trauma.

Don't say that the Spiral Award is outdated; on the battlefield, you only need the most suitable weapon.

With the enemy having no air force, the Il-2 was the Black Death.

The Allied forces, as the enemy, will certainly make progress, but they cannot bring out anti-aircraft guns of World War II level in a short period of time. At most, they can use mages to connect and operate components to conduct human air defense in a way similar to wet components.

It's not a one-time use device that stuffs a person inside something; it's an anti-aircraft weapon that's operated like a mental device.

With its fast reaction time and powerful firepower, the Il-2 boasts sustained firepower comparable to the Type 96 anti-aircraft gun from the Showa era. In contrast, the Il-2 is designed to be exceptionally robust, and with the powerful amplification effects of Originium Arts inscription and the Pure Originium Engine, this modified Il-2 has essentially reached the limits of propeller-driven aircraft, except for its inability to go supersonic. It is more than capable of being used as a World War II fighter for energy-intensive air combat. More importantly, its payload is impressive (over five tons).

The only saving grace for the enemy is that the Il-2 is currently only in limited production, and the Soviet Air Force is still in the development stage. It is impossible for them to deploy a large fleet of aircraft comparable to those used in World War II to strike the enemy in the short term. A hundred or so Il-2s can only play a harassing role.

However, production capacity has already begun to surge in the rear, with a large number of pilots undergoing training, preparing to give the enemy a surprise during the counter-offensive phase.

As for when the counterattack will take place, it will be after the Yan Kingdom joins the battle.

Liu Jiuli knew very well that Yan Guo was about to discover the problem and would definitely learn about the current world situation through the network that had been reconnected to the outside world. The community was about to face a situation of being caught in the middle from both sides.

It looks just like Germany in the later stages of World War I and World War II.

But the community is not Germany. Moreover, the Liberation International, led by Andorn, is spreading rapidly in various countries, and systematic trade union organizations have begun to emerge. If we just hold on a little longer, the situation of foreign intervention forces encountering proletarian protests and strikes in the rear, as seen during the Russian Civil War, will repeat itself.

Even if the enemy continues to attack, they can only maintain their momentum for a moment before their strength wanes and they are exhausted on the third attempt.

However, it wasn't just Steelgrove that was under pressure; Kazdel was also experiencing it.

Defending on the plains meant relying solely on the Maginot Line's layout to withstand the attack. Although this line has been the subject of ridicule throughout history, that was a problem with the French themselves. The truth is, Germany simply didn't dare to directly confront this formidable defensive line. The most important function of the line was to limit the enemy's offensive direction, not to actually engage in a head-on battle.

The Germans' fierce battle at Verdun during World War I already demonstrated the defensive capabilities of a permanent fortress. Before the advent of bunker buster bombs capable of carrying nuclear warheads, such a defense was enough to inflict heavy casualties on the attacking side.

With his immense wealth and powerful spending, Liu Jiuli armed Kazdel into a steel hedgehog, providing 360-degree all-around defense with no blind spots. The Sarkaz people of Kazdel, eager to liberate their hard-won homeland, mobilized the entire population as soldiers, practically equipping every pig in the sty with rocket launchers.

As for the level of defense, Rembitox said he was screwed.

Before Liu Jiuli's transmigration, there wasn't much information about Rembiton. This country was like Australia on the international stage; it didn't appear alongside major powers, and you couldn't find it in the news. The Trisolarans disliked it.

The same is true of Rembiton on the continent of Terra. This country is a nation on mining trucks. It has nothing but abundant minerals and some cyberpunk elements because the region is not managed by a complete country, but by a mining company. Victoria and Columbia hold a large number of shares in this company.

This has led to Rembitox's international stance shifting dramatically, sometimes siding with Victoria, sometimes with Colombia, highlighting its unpredictable and fickle nature.

As for their stance this time, since both major shareholders have sided with the coalition, he naturally will also side with the coalition.

Furthermore, Rembiton's territory is mostly populated by workers, all kinds of workers. If these people were to absorb the ideology of the community, it would be disastrous. Given the current living conditions of Rembiton's lower-level workers, if these people were to awaken, every single one of the company's management would have to become a mere decoration.

To avoid being left to dry on a streetlamp, Rembitox must firmly uphold his class stance, eliminate these dangerous redheads, and race headlong down the road to freedom.

Then they crashed into Kazdel and were left with nothing but their teeth.

Chapter 208: I, Rembit, am invincible!

(Second update delivered. I'm busy now. Anyway, today is a memorable day (～￣▽￣)～)

As a company with its own mines, Rembitox is not short of money. In addition, it poses no threat and has two powerful allies. This country has used money to build up a land-based naval force in the southern part of Terra, second only to Iberia.

However, if you look at the types of countries that are in the southern part of Terra, you'll understand why it's ranked second.

Nobody has the ability to take second place.

Because of its advantageous geographical location and lack of experience in war, and the fact that its military strength seems to have the makings of a third-largest military in the world, Rembitox has a kind of mysterious confidence reminiscent of Buchansheer.

In today's world, the only heroes are myself, Colombia, and Victoria.

As for their adversary, Kazdel is an internationally renowned cesspool nation, plagued by endless war.

Oh, this country was recently unified and is now part of the Terra People's Community. But the problem is, does changing bosses mean you're no longer a cesspool? You pathetic mercenaries can't even protect your own homes.

And so, Rembiton's army of 100,000 men, along with 100 land-based ships, marched out in a mighty force.

The company president has already made a high-profile announcement at the press conference that a celebratory dinner will be held in Kazdel in three days.

But India has already shown everyone through its actions that defense cannot be bought.

An army armed with money may be powerful, but its essence is still the Soviet-made T-35 – a mere shell.

The most obvious example is the widespread discrimination within Rembitox's military.

To be precise, these are not soldiers, but mercenaries. After all, Rembitox is just a company. These people are actually security personnel, that is, company security guards, but their weapons and equipment are on par with those of the armies of various countries.

So how serious is the discrimination problem in this army?

Just look at Rembitox's land-based naval fleet.

Land-based warships are land-based warships and belong to the technical branch of the military. Therefore, the soldiers on land-based warships are also called "noble soldiers." For a specific example, you can refer to the British Navy. So these people are people of slightly higher status in Rembiton, equivalent to Roman citizens.

Those below this level are considered second-class citizens, the lowest of the low, who don't even qualify to board land-based ships. This leads to a bizarre situation where land-based ships, which are conventionally used to carry infantry in various countries, are modified by Rembiton into special versions without transport compartments. The empty space is used as living quarters and activity rooms for the personnel stationed on the land-based ships.

As for the army, they're all Roman mules and horses; they'd better go outside and take the road!

And so a very classic scene unfolded: Rembiton's land-based ships advanced in front, followed by a large group of 11th-rank infantry, like a warship followed by a group of dolphins, which was just ridiculous.
