I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

There was a loud shout from the audience: "Yes!!!"

"Very good! It seems that everyone has not slacked off because of the comfortable life."

The lecturer laughed and said, "We have the best equipment in the entire alliance. Only the 1st Marine Division, which is attacking head-on, has equipment that is not inferior to ours. No matter what, we cannot fight worse than them!"

"Everyone, it is our greatest honor to put on this military uniform and fight on the battlefield and die on the battlefield. The Alliance needs us now!"

"The time has come to serve Her Majesty the Queen! The time has come to avenge the citizens who died tragically at the capital station decades ago! The time has come to avenge the civilians of the subcontinent who have died tragically at the hands of the Vatican over the past hundreds of years!"

"Crushing the Church is when we truly stand up and stand at the top of the continent! For the Queen! For the Alliance!"

"For the Queen!!! For the Alliance!!!"

As the ground crew's gestures changed, the large propeller of the heavy military transport aircraft modified from the Flying Fortress began to turn. Under the guidance of the ground crew vehicle, the fuselage slowly started and followed the ground crew vehicle to the main runway.

As the signal at the rear of the ground support vehicle changed color, the speed of the four propellers began to soar, and the transport plane slowly accelerated, becoming faster and faster. It raised its nose and began to climb in altitude amid a violent roar. Several transport planes around it also performed the same action.

Inside the cabin, a large number of soldiers wearing close-fitting exoskeletons and carrying backpacks sat opposite each other, looking at the sky gradually rising outside the window. They felt excited and thrilled, and rushed to the battlefield with expectations and revenge for the future.

More and more transport planes and fighter planes took off and formed into formations.

Standing on the balcony of the office, Medea could see through the mirror image formed by divine power that a fleet of aircraft that covered the sky and the sun began to slowly gather in the sky above several states such as Brina in the distance, and then formed a formation and flew towards the distance.

She could also sense that more people were looking into the distance and praying silently.

"Nana, I want to gain benefits and win the war, but I don't want to pay the price and I don't want too many soldiers to die. Am I being greedy..."

Her mood was very complicated at this moment. She knew that her people must be rushing to the battlefield with many beautiful expectations, and many of them would stay there forever with these expectations.

But after the first time, after witnessing the cruelty of war, you may not have such a mentality anymore.

Anna replied calmly: "Your Majesty, you said that this is how the world is. When resources are limited, fighting is bound to happen. It's not about right or wrong, it's only about life and death. This is the pressure that every country has to bear."

"A country is made up of people. This pressure will be transmitted to individuals, and the cost will also be borne by individuals. We group them together and call this group soldiers, national soldiers."

“Few people really like war, but some people are willing to bear the punishment brought by war for the country. We cannot avoid it, and we can only do our best to compensate and share the burden, so that they can shed blood but not tears.”

Anna did not answer Medea's question of whether she was greedy or not. This is an unsolvable proposition and it is also human nature.

Medea smiled when she heard this: "That's right, no tears but blood... They have completed their mission, and the rest is my job."

She looked down and stretched out her hand. It was slender and white, but she could see endless blood in it, some of it belonged to the enemy and some belonged to her. What did it have to do with the soldiers? She was the biggest executioner.

She couldn't guarantee that the alliance wouldn't go to war, but she could only try to reduce the frequency of such incidents.

Bezutsk

The weather was clear and cloudless, which is usually very good weather, suitable for sunbathing and relaxing on the beach.

But the situation in Bezutsk Port was extremely tense. With the good weather, they could clearly see the endless large and small warships on the sea in the distance even without magic.

Those battleships were particularly eye-catching, and their huge size was particularly conspicuous compared to the smaller ones around them.

So the officers of the Bezutsk defense line shouted and cursed desperately, reinforced the surrounding coastal defense fortifications over and over again, dug new trenches and placed beach iron chevaux de frise, barbed wire and other weapons that could be used for defense.

A soldier was waving a shovel numbly. When he looked up to wipe his sweat, he accidentally glanced at the sky. His hand movements suddenly froze. After a while, he pointed at the sky and shouted in a trembling voice: "Iron birds! They are all iron birds! They are flying over!!!"

When the others heard the sound, they looked up and saw the fleet of planes that was like a dark cloud covering the sky. They also began to shout and scream loudly, and the whole place was in chaos.

The soldiers in the underground bunkers and tunnels also heard the chaotic footsteps and vague shouts on the ground, and looked up at the bare ceiling in confusion.

The 101-102 Division Greengore's medium-range bomber fleet had already accelerated and arrived in front of the main force. They opened their belly bomb bays under intensive artillery fire and threw out slightly large and bloated bombs. The top-heavy warheads naturally deflected and fell downwards.

As the bomb hit the shield with a dull thud, the cylinder in front suddenly exploded and sprayed out a high-speed jet towards the magic shield, easily drilling a large hole in the shield. Then a conical warhead broke out of the body and drilled into it.

Under the horrified gazes of many Vatican soldiers, he drilled deep into the ground like a drill and came in front of one of the soldiers who was checking the ceiling, and a strong light flashed.

"Boom~"

As the ground shook violently, the air defense facilities on the ground were swallowed up by the blasted holes.

The tandem charge-penetrating bombs were the first surprise the Alliance prepared for the Holy See.

After discovering that magic shields could resist the explosive damage caused by bombs, and the Vatican adopted a large number of underground fortification construction methods.

The Alliance developed this specialized bunker-buster bomb, which not only has the characteristics of shaped energy and armor melting, but also continues to exert the penetrating effect of a bunker-buster bomb.

It would be better if it didn't hit the shield. The energy-gathering part in the front can directly blast a hole in the ground, allowing the secondary projectile in the rear to drill deeper into the ground.

The strength of the Alliance's explosives and steel has not yet reached the level of tungsten alloy steel for projectiles, and the maximum penetration depth can only reach 8m, but this is enough to meet the Alliance's needs.

Chapter 238 For the Queen!!!

The dense bombardment of bunker-penetrating bombs caused a large number of Vatican defensive positions to fall. Subsequent bombers carrying normal bombs dropped dense ordinary bombs and began indiscriminate bombing on the beachhead positions.

The three lines of defense of the Holy See all suffered the same treatment. At the same time, the battleships and cruisers on the sea began to approach the precise firing range of their main guns and began firing salvos of their main guns.

The roar of naval guns and bomb explosions resounded throughout the battlefield, completely covering up the shouts and howls of the Vatican soldiers and turning it into a hell of artillery fire.

The fighter planes that followed also lowered their altitude and fired at the winding trenches at close range, turning the Vatican soldiers hiding in the trenches into pieces that flew everywhere.

As a large number of transport ships lowered their hatches, various medium and large transport boats carrying densely packed Alliance soldiers began to rush towards the coast.

The battleship's main gun fire continued to extend, making way for the attack position.

On the landing craft, the leading non-commissioned officers kept warning the silent soldiers around them:

"Don't block the barrier in front of you. Make room for the heavy-armored comrades, otherwise you will be knocked down by the attack immediately!"

"Always pay attention to the front! Don't gather together without the protection of heavy armored soldiers! Five people in a group are very easy to be attacked, but one person will not be the first target of attack."

"There is no cover below, so you must half-crouch and wade through the shallow water to the beach as quickly as possible! If you are not in the firing line, you can crawl forward when necessary."

"Don't be afraid. Fear will lead you to death faster. Don't try to jump over the landing craft from the side. The heavy package and exoskeleton will drown you!"

As the coastline got closer, the Vatican's artillery and machine gun magic counterattacks also came. The heavy landing craft in the front was made of hard materials and had a large matrix magic engine, which could be called a tortoise shell. It was more like a landing ship than a landing craft.

After several unsuccessful attempts to break through, the commander of the Vatican's defense decisively shifted the target of attack and poured out his anger on the densely packed small landing craft in the medium distance.

A large number of landing craft could not withstand the concentrated fire and exploded on the spot due to shield failure. The soldiers sitting in them had almost no chance of survival.

But more landing craft approached the shallow water area under heavy fire, and the heavy landing craft in the front were filled with heavily armored warriors wearing full sets of mechas.

They held shields with cones on the front and stuck them into the beach, covering most of their upper bodies. The Gatling guns mounted on their shoulders spewed flames wildly and indiscriminately swept the entire beach front.

The landing craft behind also lowered their front panels to reveal the soldiers inside. Soldiers wearing lightweight mass-produced exoskeletons hid behind the mecha soldiers who stood up.

The 5m tall mecha soldier unfolded the 1m wide folding steel plate he had been holding in his hand to block the rain of bullets in front of him.

Although it was still difficult to withstand the frontal bombardment of artillery shells and magic, the power of the bolt-action rifles, heavy machine guns and small artillery in the hands of the Vatican soldiers was suppressed to the lowest level.

The Alliance's chemical etching method iterates very quickly, and the magic pack, anti-gravity array and machine body have successfully achieved mass production and manufacturing technology.

Now all heavy mechas have three layers of anti-gravity arrays inside, which reduces the combat weight by 30%, reduces energy loss, and fully utilizes the terrain adaptability of the mecha.

This combination of ancient and modern tactics greatly reduced the casualties of the Allied forces in the beach landings, but in a very short period of time, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded on the three beaches combined.

And as the new weapons of the Holy See opened fire, more and more heavy armored mechas were blown up or nailed to the beach like wooden stakes.

It was a magical weapon that functioned as a crossbow. Every time it fired a burst of shots, it would fire a high-speed flying magic-destroying spear. The tip of the magic-destroying spear ignored the magic shield on the outside of the mecha and pierced the internal armor fiercely. The terrifying kinetic energy could easily open a big hole in the mecha.

Although this was not a fatal injury to the five-meter-tall mecha itself, many of the pilots inside were killed on the spot with half of their bodies pierced by spears.

As the Alliance soldiers pushed forward regardless of the cost to clear the area, more medium-sized landing ships in the rear began to rush onto the beachhead in an endless stream. Many light tanks rushed onto the beach from the landing craft and fired fiercely at the Vatican's positions.

It was at this time that the large artillery of the Holy See, which had been hidden tightly, also began its own bombardment of the beach. A large number of shells fell on the beach, causing waves of blood rain. Medium and large magic towers fired round after round of combined attack magic, which continued to wreak havoc.

The lives of soldiers on both sides were being harvested with extremely high efficiency, and the ground was littered with body parts, flesh, and destroyed tanks and mechas.

However, the vanguard troops quickly broke through the obstacles and reached the reverse slope to get a moment's respite, but were soon killed by machine gun bullets fired from various inexplicable and inconspicuous holes.

There were miserable wails and screams all around.

"Medic!!!"

"There are enemies down here, clear them out quickly with grenades!"

"Where's the flamethrower? Has the flamethrower arrived!!!"

In order to launch an attack from a high position and cause maximum damage, a reverse slope will inevitably appear.

The solution proposed by the Holy See was to dig out solid fortifications to hide soldiers under a large number of reverse slopes and set up shooting holes to launch external attacks from within.

However, this type of fortification would inevitably be exposed once the attack began, and the narrow shooting holes did not provide much external vision, so they were eliminated one by one by the Alliance soldiers using grenades and rocket launchers.

Some were even more unlucky and encountered a fire-breathing bear warrior carrying a gasoline fuel tank, who used a high-pressure nozzle to spray long fire snakes at the shooting holes from 15 meters away.

The solidified gasoline splashed through the firing holes into the narrow troop fortifications. Waves of ghostly howlings came from inside, and some of the shrill screams lasted for dozens of seconds, which was a hundred times more cruel than cremation.

The group of fighter jets that were diving continuously in the sky had not yet withdrawn, and a new group of fighter jets had already appeared in the distant sky.

The commander-in-chief of Operation Overlord had no intention of delaying at all. He launched wave after wave of attacks, regardless of the cost of casualties, in an effort to quickly capture the beachhead defenses and then advance directly into the three super fortresses.

At the same time, the airborne division aircraft group has arrived over Lezhsk

Captain Sergei held down the headset and listened carefully, then shouted to the soldiers in the cabin: "Alright! Brothers of E Company, get ready, we have arrived above the target, prepare to parachute and descend immediately!"

"Remember, after landing, check the surrounding light columns immediately, move towards the light column closest to you and quickly put on the armor, then gather via the frequency band radio. Do you understand?"

"Listen clearly!!!"

"For the Queen!"

"For the Queen!!!"

"Open the cabin!!!"

Chapter 239: This is the Airborne Division? That's too euphemistic

The cargo hold of a cargo airship with a diameter of more than 500 meters, located a thousand meters ahead, opened, and containers fell from the hold at an altitude of 200 meters with large parachutes.

This special cargo airship is a soft airship that uses a large airbag as the main body of the airship. The cockpit is located at the top of the airbag, while the cargo hold is wrapped in the concave airbag section below.

The previous design of releasing ballast water has been completely abandoned. Instead, the gravity value is adjusted by a large anti-gravity unit to achieve lifting and lowering, and the ballast liquid always remains inside the airbag.

The advantage of this design is that the airship can achieve rapid ascent and descent due to its own weight, and the liquid in the ballast at the bottom of the airbag can also fill the holes when leaks appear in the airship. The airship has a considerable load capacity and a fast speed.

The downside is that such a design basically abandons all of its own self-defense weapons, and the flexible airship itself is not suitable for battlefield combat.

It was not even intended to be used on the battlefield at the beginning, but was only an air transport carrier for civilian use.

Shortly after the airship troops completed their mission and climbed away, the main force of the airborne division also arrived at the battlefield.

"Quick! Quick, quick, quick!!!"
