Eh? Do you also want to try the iron fist of the humanoid girl?

The issue of the energy interface will have to wait until they have a humanoid R&D team. Only after that can there be any substantial progress in the update of the machine.

We are lucky to be able to solve the supply problem of body parts now, because there is a "traitor" among humans - in the eyes of some people, Harry's act of providing technical information is equivalent to "betraying humanity."

The research team of the body alone is not enough, they also need to obtain the relic mind core and research data. Only in this way can they survive.

Asuka watched Raphael eating breakfast quietly, his thoughts drifting far into the future.

Chapter 133

Anyway, no matter what the plan is, no matter how many people covet the military-industrial enterprises in her hands, Fei Niao will not give it up.

Besides being able to lie on top of the Pole and suck his blood, it also makes for great cover.

As long as Russia does not disappear, the Poles will have to rely on it for the next 10 years.

If they really have to count, Fei Niao thinks they should all thank the "Katyn Massacre" in the spring of 1940 - the organized massacre of 2.2 Polish prisoners of war, intellectuals, police and administrative personnel by the old Soviet army - and the overall policy forced upon Poland by the old Soviet Union after the end of World War II, which has led to Poland's extremely strong hostility towards Russia today.

In contrast, Russia, as the instigator, was much less hostile towards Poland, but it always regarded Poland and even the European world further south as its own.

Poland is not only known as one of the countries with the richest history, but also a country with a troubled fate. In its heyday, it fought bloody battles with the Mongols and fought swords with the Ottoman Empire, saving Europe from disaster twice.

When it was down and out, it was destroyed three times in a row, and it kept struggling between the states of destruction and revival.

All the grudges have become opportunities for Fei Niao to earn resources from it. The tank production line and logistics maintenance center were just the most ruthless ones she attacked.

“It seems that God has answered my prayers.”

When Fei Niao heard Raphael's voice, the curve of his lips couldn't be suppressed at all.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even if you were staying in a quiet room, you could clearly hear the fierce sound of the rain.

She believed that if the rain slowed down, Raphael would mutter to himself that God was useless, and then, the next time she faced a similar situation, she would choose another god from another pantheon to worship.

This guy is very practical, and once he satisfies her idea, he will say, "This thing is useful, you can worship it."

If it's useless, just kick it aside immediately. It's terrible.

"Really?" Fei Niao quickly browsed through today's remote report and kept giving instructions remotely.

Suddenly, there was a cheerful sound of music coming from the window of the dormitory living room. It was the melody of a flute. The melodious and transparent tone was hidden in the storm. It was very subtle, but still audible.

Fei Niao held the laptop and moved a little closer to the dormitory door. The sound became clearer and clearer. He was probably practicing long notes. The tone was beautiful.

Yes, it's wonderful.

It turns out that man-made objects can also produce beautiful sounds.

Fei Niao peeked stealthily through the crack in the door and saw that it was indeed Raphael sitting in front of the music stand, holding the gift he received from Harry in his hand.

The ponytail tied at the back of her head gave her a refreshing look, and the ears faintly visible through her hair were incredibly white.

Asuka couldn't help but want to do something, but she didn't know where to start even if she wanted to join in. She could only stare at her fingers sliding flexibly on the keys.

In fact, she was very annoyed. She had nothing to do due to the heavy rain. Although she turned down the boring performance testing work, for her, being trapped in this base was extremely miserable.

When she was in Tokyo or Frankfurt, she had a lot of fun with the Russians even when they came to cause trouble.

Whenever Raphael picks up an instrument, she starts with long notes and works through the basics until she thinks she can do it.

In particular, her obsession with legato is completely different from that of ordinary people. She has been repeatedly playing transitional syllables at a relatively fast speed in basic exercises.

The fingering is so accurate that it leaves everyone dumbfounded. There are no mistakes, as if you are watching some kind of mechanized operation.

Mechanized work is soulless, but the performer is a robot. Can a robot give birth to a soul through mechanized performance? Asuka couldn't help thinking so.

If only those with souls can have wisdom, then beings like them are without wisdom.

Raphael would never play a piece of music before he had completed the basic exercises. Fei Niao imagined that in addition to using the flute to relieve his anxiety, Raphael was also thinking back to his past days when he was calm and free.

"…Hmm, what are you peeking at?"

At some point, the music stopped. Raphael opened the door and let Fei Niao see outside.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to listen." Asuka explained his behavior as if nothing had happened.

Hearing this answer, Raphael scratched his head in confusion and returned to his seat by the window.

Just listen to it if you want to. It won’t be considered as “unbearable to listen to” at all. Asuka thinks that’s what Raphael thinks.

After all, I haven't sought any special teacher for guidance, I'm basically just entertaining myself.

Soon, a soft sound came from the window, and the bird reflexively raised its head. The melody was compared with the database and it turned out to be "Fantasy in D Major Op.38", with a brilliant and warm sound.

Really... can this be considered a human form without a soul?

Forget it, whether there is a soul or not is a matter that should be left to theologians or spiritualists to discuss. Asuka thought it was enough for her to just listen.

……

August 8, Jalfa Province, on the outskirts of Samed city.

The 9th Armored Brigade of the German 1st Armored Division, which had been the vanguard since the beginning of the operation, encountered the armored forces of the Algerian 2nd Armored Division in a small town southwest of Samed.

Even if they are surviving, judging from the images captured by drone reconnaissance, the number of their main combat equipment can still compete with the 76 Leopard 2A6/A7s of the th Armored Brigade.

Although the German army had very strong mobility, the 21st Armored Brigade of the 14st Armored Division of Germany set out late at night on the 15th and arrived 60 kilometers east of Samed in the early morning of the 10th. It maneuvered nearly 170 kilometers at high speed in hours while maintaining a complete battle formation.

But before the 21st Brigade joined the battle, the th Armored Training Brigade did not commit much force to the battle, which led to a miraculous back-and-forth battle between the two sides.

Objectively speaking, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the Algerian 2nd Armored Division are not bad.

In this division, there are three combat brigades, namely the 1st Armored Brigade, the 2nd Armored Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Brigade, in addition to an independent motorized infantry brigade.

The main equipment tanks are T-90AM, all of which are assigned to the 2nd Armored Brigade. Infantry fighting vehicles and various support forces are also not bad.

However, the division had previously fought mainly in the Dimaia Province, where it not only endured attacks from French ground forces, but also had to endure heavy bombing, resulting in the loss of a large amount of heavy equipment.

Unable to hold on any longer, the division received an order to retreat to Jelfa to rest and receive replenishment of personnel and equipment.

According to the Algerian authorities, this force will form a battle group with the army's mechanized division and two independent motorized infantry brigades, and move south to deal with the German-French coalition forces entering the Ouargla province from the Libyan border.

However, they did not expect the German-French coalition forces to be so maneuverable, and the vanguard had already entered Jellefa.

Chapter 134: The Siege of Maisad

Although the Algerian 2nd Armored Division has a very high mechanization rate and personnel mobility is mainly based on vehicles, it can be understood from their troop deployment that once this unit is in motion, it will be the armored spearhead of the ground attack.

Make full use of the troops' mobility and armored protection to break through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop.

The Algerian army, equipped with T-90AM and T-72M1M, is considered strong in the African region and is capable of dealing with security issues caused by changes in surrounding areas.

However, when these forces are used for defense, they are insufficient.

When deploying, the commander of the unit hopes to make full use of the mobility of the troops, delay the enemy's attack, accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity.

When the time is right, launch a counterattack and drive the enemy back to their starting position.

However, in mobile defensive operations, the most important capability of armored forces is mobility, not the ability to engage the enemy head-on.

But in front of them appeared the German 2th Armored Division, which was equipped with Leopard series tanks, Puma infantry fighting vehicles and Boxer wheeled armored vehicles, all of which had far superior mobility to these old Soviet-made products.

This directly led to the bankruptcy of the mobile defense strategy of the Algerian 2nd Armored Division, which was forced to switch to a rigid position stalemate.

On the contrary, the German army made full use of the advantages of its armored forces in this battle, not only avoiding the opponent's first counterattack, but also destroying most of its counterattack forces.

After the 21st Brigade arrived at the front line, the 9th Armored Training Brigade immediately gathered its troops and began to move.

The Algerian army could only watch the enemy disappear, and then engage in a meaningless tug-of-war with the enemy's reinforcements.

Whenever the Algerians made an attempt, the 21st Brigade would gather its forces and force the enemy to engage in armored combat.

The opponent wasted a lot of time in the repeated expansion and contraction.

Everyone knew that when the German armored forces appeared again, their defense system outside the city of Maisade would be penetrated by the Germans.

Although towns are a taboo for attacking forces, they can definitely become obstacles for attacking forces.

Late that night, before the 9th Armored Training Brigade entered its departure position on the west wing, the vanguard of the 21st Brigade had reached the edge of the city of Masad and was fighting with the defending Algerian army.

The defenders immediately adjusted their tactics, concentrated all their supporting firepower, and began bombarding the slums on the edge of the city.

The Algerian army did this to prevent the German army from entering the city.

The Second Armored Division did a very decisive job. They urgently organized personnel during the shelling and laid more than 2,000 mines near the artillery line.

The mines were old Soviet stock and no one knew if they still worked properly.

Although clearing the mines laid on the surface is not too troublesome, when facing a powerful enemy, the 21st Armored Brigade certainly does not have time to let the engineers clear the mines.

Besides, they were not the main attackers.

As a result, the 21st Armored Brigade gave up the idea of ​​advancing further and simply maintained contact.

However, this contact forced the defenders to deploy sufficient troops in this direction, preventing the 21st Armored Brigade from sending out mine-clearing engineers.

This decision provided valuable time for the 9th Armored Training Brigade and the 41st Armored Grenadier Brigade to merge and complete combat preparations.

同时，325炮兵教导营的火力准备开始，24门Pzh-2000式155自行榴弹炮和9门120毫米迫击炮进入狂轰滥炸状态。

At this point, the defenders began to get anxious.

If they were willing to send out two tank battalions equipped with T-90AM four hours ago and force the flanking German armored forces to fight a standard armored battle on the outskirts of Maysad, they would definitely have held out for longer.

As long as the German army did not capture Masad, the door to the capital Djelifa would not be open to them, let alone further move north along the traffic line to join the Allied forces landing from the coastal areas.

The French army had a relatively easy battle in the Aiguette department. They charged forward without encountering much decent resistance.

Although the number of personnel and equipment of the Maisad defenders was much higher than that of the German army, and the infantry division did not suffer heavy losses, the main combat equipment was relatively intact.

The three combat brigades under the 3st Armored Division have already been put into battle. Although there is also a mechanized infantry brigade numbered 43, this is a mixed German-Dutch force.

The personnel of both sides are still in the process of getting used to each other, and problems could easily arise if they were to be brought out directly to participate in the battle.

Just like the German-French Allied Forces, except for the German-French Allied Forces that landed in Algiers, the battles in other directions were still separate and each did their own work.

The differences in culture and language bring discomfort and hinder deeper communication between the two sides.

When this gap disappears one day, the true German-French coalition will achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.

As for now? Just look at the battle in the Algiers metropolitan area.

Despite the air support provided by the aircraft carrier battle group and the sufficient supplies and manpower, the coalition's attack on the Algerian army was not so encouraging.

On the contrary, the German and French armies, which were divided into two groups and assigned their own combat tasks, made good progress.

Even if the German 90st Armored Division encountered difficulties in Maisad, its combat equipment was sufficient to form an all-round technical advantage over the Algerian Army's T-72 and T- series tanks.

In addition, coalition air units entering from Libya can provide support services.

After a series of combined blows, the defenders had a hard time.

No matter how advanced the main battle equipment is, the focus of defense is on the front, and the armor on the sides, rear and top is very vulnerable.

Therefore, in a battle between armored vehicles, it is best for tanks to attack the enemy facing the enemy and never expose their sides to the enemy's guns.

With the Leopard 2A6's defensive level, at a combat distance of two kilometers, it has at least a 90% chance of blocking the 72BM3 "Mango" armor-piercing shells fired by the T-42 and T-. However, once its sides are exposed, it will not have any chance of survival.

Fortunately, the initiative on the battlefield was in the hands of the German army, which also had air superiority in the battle area, which meant that the attacking troops had no such concerns at all.

At 4:9 a.m., the assault force, led by the th Armored Training Brigade, launched an assault from the west wing.

Each armored battalion is supported by a mechanized infantry battalion, and all main battle tanks can point their guns forward without worrying about being attacked from the flanks.

Amid the roar of the 203rd Armored Battalion, the battalion's chaplain, Army Major Christopher Birdley, was walking in front of each row, offering final prayers to everyone.

Birdley is an Arab, tall, gentle, with a high and pleasant voice.

Although some in the camp acknowledged their religious beliefs, they were polite to the chaplain but showed no interest in discussing theology, as if he were a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman.

"Oh, ho! Here he comes," said Lieutenant Helmut Franz Schmidt.

He saw the pastor walking towards him across the sand with a smile on his face and a Bible in his hand, followed by a battalion guard holding an assault rifle.

"Another guy comes to waste my time."

Helmut's gunner climbed out of the turret and gave the priest a suspicious look.

"I went to a communion service at Camp Matildare, and this priest gave this bullshit speech about why we were fighting this war. It was fucking bullshit!"

Major Birdley came to about 3 meters away from their car, facing the Leopard 2A7 main battle tank and muttered:
