Years later, when children were learning this history in school, history books referred to this counterattack as the First Counterattack.
This counterattack war lasted for nine months, and Europe mobilized nearly 7 million troops to participate in the war, accounting for more than 10% of the total population of Europe after the disaster.
After nine months of arduous fighting and the convenience brought by the mountainous terrain of the Apennine Peninsula, this huge army finally pushed the front back to Sicily and successfully completed the strategy of dividing the Mediterranean in two. Target.
Lucia mobilized an army of three million to the maximum extent, and combined with the two million troops sent by the Yan Kingdom, they crushed the alien creatures in the Aegean Sea with an unstoppable steel torrent, and conquered the Peloponnese Peninsula, Croton, etc. The islands of Rite and Rhodes, as well as many islands in the Aegean Sea, were restored.
Although many islands in the Aegean Sea have been frozen under the ice due to rising sea levels, several large islands have remained, allowing the Lucians to establish new strongholds and defense lines here to suppress alien creatures. , and then wiped out the remaining alien creatures in the entire Aegean Sea.
In this war, humans mobilized an army of 12 million people and fought an arduous battle with hundreds of millions of alien creatures.
In the war, many brave people died and their blood was sprinkled on the earth.
However, it is precisely because of their sacrifice and dedication that mankind was able to eliminate alien creatures, drive them away from our territory, and regain the territory of mankind.
And these sacrificed people have also been recorded in history, and will be remembered as the inheritance of human civilization.
In nine months, with hundreds of thousands of casualties, mankind achieved its strategic goals, cleared the Aegean Sea and the Adriatic Sea, and eliminated countless alien creatures, their corpses and strays. The blood that came out even covered the entire sea surface, and the thick layer was frozen by the cold.
When Blue Star thaws one day, these corpses may cause the sea level to rise another meter.
However, no country has the idea of cleaning up these corpses. It's not that they don't want to but that they simply don't have the ability to handle such a large number of corpses.
Just like Dongting Lake in the Yan Kingdom, there were fierce battles on the lake. The ice was full of frozen corpses. Even if they couldn't be dug out, even if they were dug out, such a large number of corpses would not be recovered unless they were used to recycle biomass to make synthetic protein blocks. , otherwise, even if it is burned, humans do not have so much fuel to cremate these corpses.
Faced with this situation, countries really have no good solution, they can only let these corpses lie there.
After the first counterattack, the human side achieved a brilliant victory, both in terms of morale and popular support.
And by fighting side by side in a true sense, the barriers between countries were quickly replaced by the camaraderie of fighting side by side.
This experience of living and dying together for the future of mankind has even directly promoted the elimination of barriers between European countries and greatly accelerated the process of European integration.
After all, the military is not like a national administrative department. It can assign a dedicated translation team for each language to solve some textual problems.
In order to ensure the transmission of military orders, European countries imposed a language as the language for military orders.
The emergence of a common language is undoubtedly an important factor that can promote the integration of countries.
This counterattack war had a great impact on European countries, and it also had a great impact on Yan Country and Lucia.
After so many years, Lucia once again used military force on a large scale. If it were before the disaster, this would undoubtedly scare people to death in European countries.
But in the current environment, it actually makes European countries rejoice, and they even wish that Lucia would mobilize 20 million troops to sweep everything like it did during World War II.
For Lucia herself, this is also an opportunity for the country to get rid of its ills and develop again.
The leader of Lucia did not give up this opportunity. Relying on the impact of the war, Lucia made a series of adjustments to the country and completely solved some problems that had been left over from the Soviet era. solution.
Although Lucia, which had solved these problems, was affected a lot for a while, the country was able to go into battle without those burdens. The Lucians soon discovered that their country seemed to be back to the country full of hope and ideals spoken by their ancestors. , and the age of ice cream for kids.
Although there was still no ice cream this time, everyone once again saw hope.
For a country, when its people are full of hope, then everything will not be difficult.
During the war, although the Yan Kingdom did not send many troops, the two million Yan Kingdom troops played a role that even the seven million Europeans failed to play.
Relying on mobile bases, land-ships and Titans, the two million troops of the Yan Kingdom were a thoroughly mechanized army, serving as an irreplaceable blade in the attack on the Aegean Sea.
The powerful armored forces not only participated in the battle in the Aegean Sea, but also participated in the final settlement of the Adriatic Sea in the final stage of the war.
Yanguo's infantry troops, all equipped with exoskeletons and power armor, the torrent of tanks with electromagnetic shields that are almost indestructible, and the Titans and heavy mechas that always fall from the sky with victory, have really left an impression on the armies of European countries and Lucia. deep impression.
In the past nine months, those giant robots equipped with electromagnetic shields and ready to fall from the sky at any time at your call have become the scene that every soldier participating in this war most hopes to see, because that means that before your eyes The enemy will be completely crushed.
Although all countries purchased landships and Titans from Yan Guo before the war began, it is obvious that the airborne version is the latest model for Yan Guo's own use, including various latest expansion packs including airborne devices and shield devices. It's not for sale at all.
This means that even if European countries want to play Titan Airborne like Yan Guo, they do not have enough technology to achieve it.
Only the Lucians used the technology of throwing down tanks and airborne troops from the Suvian era, and barely managed to use Titans as airborne troops.
Although the joint research of the Nantianmen Project successfully integrated the technologies of various countries and reconnected the industrial systems of various countries into a whole, three years was not enough for them to transform their gains into tangible results. combat effectiveness.
Therefore, after the first counterattack war, European countries took the initiative to stop the attack.
They want to digest what they have gained, and humans also want to accumulate more power to completely crush the alien creatures that have invaded their homeland. (End of chapter)
