Chapter 67: Our generation is light on our shoulders but muddy on our feet. Let us pay for it.

Many people in the heavens are confused.

Why did the North and the South fight for three years when the situation was clearly one-sided?

And it is clearly a two-way content.

Why did this provoke neighboring China into taking action?

It didn't take long for everyone to be confused.

Soon, Tianmu gave the answer.

……

[Eagle believed that if the North won, it would damage its international status, so on July 1950, 7, Eagle appointed five-star general MacArthur to lead a coalition army to enter the peninsula and began to interfere in the peninsula war.]

[This coalition army is led by Eagle·Jiang, and includes 17 countries including England, with hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, Eagle·Jiang provides aircraft, tanks, warships, and various new weapons. The lineup can be said to be extremely luxurious! ]

[And everyone must be familiar with the commander-in-chief sent by Eagle Sauce. 】

[He is General MacArthur, who is known as the "Father of West Point" and the "Emperor of Japan". At the same time, he is also the "slogan general" who is often slapped in the face. ]

[As one of the only nine five-star generals in the United States and one of the only two marshals in the United States, MacArthur was born into a military family.]

[He entered the West Point Military Academy as the first in 1899, participated in World War I in 1917, and later served as the president of the West Point Military Academy, the commander of the Philippine Army, and the chief of staff of the Army. In 1936, he was awarded the title of Field Marshal of the Philippine Army.]

[MacArthur was awarded the Medal of Honor by more than 20 countries during his lifetime, which is unprecedented in the Eagle-Sauce Army. ]

[In 1944, he was promoted to five-star general of the Army and accepted the surrender of Japan on behalf of the Allies. He was called "Emperor of Japan".]

……

With the arrival of MacArthur, the United Nations forces entered from Incheon.

The Southern Army, which had strong air superiority, quickly attacked from the front and back, cutting the Northern Army in half!
The Northern Army suffered repeated defeats!

The war situation was completely reversed!

Above the sky.

Under the command of MacArthur, the Confederate Army began to counterattack.

Seeing Eagle-Jiang's powerful warships, the overwhelming armored vehicles and planes, and the fully armed steel-armored lions, everyone felt a surge of pressure.

……

"How should we fight such a powerful enemy?"

Looking at the Northern Army being defeated due to lack of air superiority, this thought came to the minds of people in countless dynasties.

At the same time, Mac Arthur's rich resume also made everyone feel uneasy.

Compared with the Southern Army, which had absolute air superiority, the Northern Army was like a group of children who were being held at a disadvantage, and they felt completely powerless.

Coupled with the command of an experienced general like Mac Arthur, it won't be long before the North completely loses the war.

There is even a risk of national destruction!

"What about the Soviet side? Even Eagle-chan has joined the war, so will the Soviet side just sit back and do nothing?"

Zhu Zhanji recalled the information that Tianmu had mentioned earlier about the two sides of Su and Ying forming a line of defense.

Now that Ying Jiang has joined the war, will Su just sit back and watch?
However, what Zhu Zhanji expected did not happen.

With the entry of the Eagle Sauce, the Northern Army quickly lost its ability to resist and retreated to the 38th parallel in embarrassment.

Logically speaking, Eagle-chan has achieved his strategic goal, and it's time for both sides to call a truce.

But Mac Arthur saw that the Soviets had no intention of joining the war, and that China, which had just been founded and was extremely poor, would definitely not join the war.

Even if China really joined the war, MacArthur believed that with his own strength and the advanced equipment of the Eagles, he was fully capable of turning this war into the largest killing field in human history.

So under Mac Arthur's command, Eagle-flag planes crossed the 38th parallel many times and carried out indiscriminate bombing.

They also dropped bombs into the Chinese border, destroying many villages on the Chinese border.

……

In the sky.

An Eagle-Jiang plane with the number 307 flew over the northeastern border of China.

He commanded through the intercom: "This is Chinese territory, blow up those yellow-skinned Chinese guys."

As the Eagle-Sauce plane flew away, countless shells fell on the heads of the people working in the fields.

For a moment, the entire ground was filled with thick smoke, and countless Chinese people were trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

The Chinese government certainly cannot tolerate such vile behavior!
However...when the Chinese representative asked Eagle to take full responsibility, the shameless Mac Arthur pushed all the blame onto the pilot.

Trying to use the lame excuse of "accidental injury" to cover it up.

……

"Despicable! Bastard!"

Yongle period.

Zhu Di slammed the table angrily!
This is clearly bullying!
Looking at those innocent souls who died tragically while working hard in the fields
Zhu Di was furious: "You deliberately set the war on innocent people. How despicable! You deserve to be killed!"

Not only Zhu Di, but all the ministers were equally indignant.

"These white monkeys are as hateful as the Wala people who robbed our Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Gaoxu angrily said: "What a bunch of bastards, fight them!"

Knowing that it is the Chinese border, they still bombard it indiscriminately. This clearly shows that they look down on China and do not take China seriously!
Not only in the court, Eagle-Jiang's shameless behavior also caused an uproar among the people.

but……

As someone stared at Eagle Sauce's advanced weapons and equipment, he asked weakly, "Can we defeat them?"

Everyone was silent.

Yeah, what's the use of being angry?
It is obvious that Eagle-chan is bullying China.

Bullying China because it had just been founded and was extremely poor.

Bullying the Chinese soldiers for not having advanced weapons and equipment, bullying China for not having air superiority.

Just like a weak country has no diplomacy.

This is the contempt of a strong country for a weak country!

They clearly look down on China.

Even if China joins the war, they are not afraid because they are strong enough.

Just like MacArthur’s arrogant declaration before, as long as China dared to join the war, he would turn the battlefield on the peninsula into a bloody killing field, because they are strong enough, they can do whatever they want!

So he can say such arrogant words.

At this moment, all the people from all dynasties who had figured this out fell silent.

After reading the century-long history of humiliation, they all knew what a miserable situation China was in today.

I also understand why Eagle-chan dared to cross the border and bombard the Chinese people so arrogantly.

Everyone felt humiliated and wanted to fight a battle with the foreigners to avenge their previous humiliation.

But... can China really do this today?

Everyone is unsure.

Even the vast majority of people are pessimistic.

Not only the kings, princes, generals and ministers of all dynasties were pessimistic.

In fact, at this time, there was also a strong controversy within China about whether to fight or not.

However, the great man and Duke Zhou have always been staunch advocates of war.

In the conference room, the great man angrily slammed the document on the table.

……

[“If you deliberately bomb someone to death and then offer a hypocritical apology, and you refuse to accept it, you are exacerbating international tensions. That’s bandit logic!”]

[“Give me back my people’s lives!”]

……

In the Huairen Hall, Duke Zhou expressed his firm stance.

[“The Chinese people love peace, but in order to defend peace, they have never and will never be afraid to resist aggressive wars!”]

[“The Chinese people will never tolerate foreign aggression! Nor can we listen to the imperialists and turn a blind eye to the aggression against our neighbors!”]

……

However, facing the huge gap between the two sides, some people are pessimistic.

The man in a suit in the picture is a staunch peace advocate who has been persuading the soldiers present to face reality.

[“This year, my country’s steel production will be at most 60 tons, while that of the United States will never be less than 8500 million tons, a difference of 141.6 times.”]

[“The power generation is 46 billion kWh, compared to 3340 billion kWh. If the per capita annual income is converted into Eagle·Jiang currency, China’s is 24 yuan, while Eagle·Jiang’s is 1600 yuan.”]

[“China’s annual crude oil production is 20 tons, while Eagle Sauce’s is 2 million tons.”]

[“The Eagles have the atomic bomb, but China doesn’t.”]

[“Did the Northern Army of the Peninsula, which had a large number of Soviet tanks and new artillery, stop the Southern Army?”]

[“Air control is the key to success in ground combat!”] [“And Eagle-chan’s carrier-based aircraft can take off from hundreds of kilometers away. After completing the attack on ground targets, he can fly back for afternoon tea!”]

[“I absolutely admire the spirit of courage, but risking one’s life against steel and technology is like a child challenging a boxing champion. Is there any need to consider the outcome?”]

In response to this man's questioning, an officer stood up and spoke of the necessity of fighting.

[“What if we don’t fight?”]

[“How long will it take for Eagle-chan’s armored forces to reach the border between China and the Peninsula? It will be there in half a day!”]

[“Once Eagle Sauce occupies the peninsula, our border areas will be completely exposed to enemy fire!”]

[“Our country’s only heavy industrial base is in the Northeast. It will be destroyed under the wings of their aircraft in no time!”]

The man who had questioned the fight earlier crossed his arms and said firmly: [“You’re right! It’s just an assumption!”]

The officer loudly questioned: [“Is it hypothetical that civilians were killed by bombing at the border? Is it hypothetical that warships were blocked in the Formosa Strait?!”]

[“If the hope for peace becomes just hoping that the other side won’t shoot, can it still be called hope?!”]

Facing the officer's rebuttal, the man said:

[“You still haven’t answered my question. Why do you think you have a chance of winning?”]

……

Throughout the ages.

Countless people watched this scene and felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

yes……

With such a huge gap, is it really possible to win?
But if you don’t fight... what should you do if others think you are weak and keep bullying you?
Zhu Di felt that if it were him, he would have to fight this battle no matter what.

Even if I have to sell everything I have, I will fight!
Because he knows very well that if he doesn't fight, others will always bully you.

Just like he had always personally led expeditions against the Oirat Mongols.

Only when these guys with evil ambitions are hurt and frightened, will they remember the lesson and the people living in the border areas can live in peace!

……

In the sky.

Looking at the two sides arguing.

Duke Zhou made the final decision: [“Because only by winning the war can the Chinese survive.”]

……

the other side.

Great men have the same view.

[“But they have calculated correctly that we are the country that least wants to go to war in the world.”]

[“We are going to fight abroad, and our opponent is Eagle-chan. We can’t take it lightly.”]

[“But I want to ask! When will these Western gentlemen take us Chinese seriously?”]

[“A century of humiliation, chewed up and swallowed…”]

talking.

The great man asked a soul-searching question.

[“Now the bomb has been dropped in the Northeast, will the next step be Kyoto?”]

[“Once you cross that line, the Yalu River is just ahead!”]

[“If we ignore it, our enemies at home and abroad will think we are weak and can be bullied!”]

[“Even a child knows the truth that the lips and teeth are interdependent!”]

【"so!"】

When he said this, a solemn and murderous aura emerged from the great man!

[“Strike one open blow, and avoid a hundred blows!”]

……

"Hit the first blow to prevent a hundred blows from coming!"

Yongle period.

Zhu Di read these words and felt shocked and moved.

"I never thought that there would be such a person in the future..."

……

MacArthur was dismissive of the Chinese warning: "They are just bluffing. There are at most 30,000 or 40,000 scattered soldiers."

The subordinate reminded: [“General, my estimate is that there are at least 300,000 or 400,000 people. The Chinese have decided to intervene on a large scale.”]

Mac Arthur snorted disdainfully and didn't take his men's warning to heart at all.

……

at the same time.

China is also carrying out a general mobilization.

[“We just won a nationwide victory, and before we can even sit back and relax, the fucking Eagle Sauce has started a war on our northern peninsula! He’s trying to spread the flames of war to our newly born New China!”]

【"What should we do!"】

With the general's roar, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted and shook the sky.

["Fight!" "Fight!" "Fight!"]

……

Throughout the dynasties and time, countless Han men felt their blood boiling when watching this scene.

"Damn, it's so exciting to watch..."

"It makes me wish I could be born in the future and kill some Western devils!"

"This is my Chinese son!"

now.

The soldiers guarding the borders of the Qin Dynasty;
The veterans of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty;
The men of Yue Family Army of Southern Song Dynasty.

Everyone's eyes were filled with tears!
"Protecting our country is the purpose of our existence!"

"Whoever offends China will be punished no matter how far away they are! All future generations are good people!"

……

[“Foreigners look down on us. Dignity can only be gained on the battlefield!”]

[“Born in this era, sacrifice is the price we must pay.”]

[“If you don’t pay, your son or grandson will pay.”]

[“We are a generation that is free from burdens and have muddy feet… Let us pay.”]

……

"We are the generation that has nothing to lose, but we have mud on our feet. We should pay for it."

Yongle period.

Yanjing.

Somewhere on the wall of the inner city.

Zhu Zhanji and Yu Qian looked at this sentence in silence for a long time.

The two were silent for a long while, and Zhu Zhanji suddenly said:
"With such a cutting-edge army, China will surely become stronger and richer. I'm suddenly looking forward to the next direction of the war..."

"Perhaps, a miracle really will happen."

An emotion called hope arose in Zhu Zhanji's heart.

Although the coalition army led by Ying Jiang is well-equipped and much stronger than the Chinese soldiers in terms of firearms and armor,

But now, feeling the unstoppable spirit of these young soldiers who were ready to die, Zhu Zhanji felt as if this was an army that was bound to win.

Because he saw faith in this army!
The power of faith can often turn decay into magic!

Yu Qian snorted: "The Southern Army is a proud army. We Chinese are fighting to defend our country. We are determined to fight to the death. No matter how difficult this battle is, our army will win!"

Zhu Zhanji looked at Yu Qian and said, "Only you, Yu Qian, would dare to say that!"

"Why? Prince doesn't believe it?"

"I believe it!" Zhu Zhanji looked at Yu Qian and said seriously, "From the words of Yu Qian, who was able to stop Yesen's 200,000 troops single-handedly and save the Ming Dynasty from disaster, I certainly believe it."

"The Crown Prince, just watch!"

Yu Qian stared at the young soldiers in the picture and said in a deep voice: "This battle is the battle for our Chinese nation to gain a foothold."

"Eagle-chan is the master of the Overlord, and is known to the outside world as invincible."

"If China wins this battle, we can at least achieve a hundred years of peace. Within a hundred years, no one will dare to attack China!"
