C2649 forest ambush (1/2)
”I didn't expect that France's natural environment would be so well protected right now. This doesn't look like an industrial country at all! ”
Not long after the thousand over Chinese SPECIAL SERVICES s had infiltrated the French territory, Xiao Letian also reached a small hill at the highest point of the border with the protection of the head of the army and the elite soldiers of the first regiment.
This was already considered within the borders of France, but it was situated in a place where one could clearly see the geography around them.
”The Alsace and Lorraine regions, this is the most important coal and iron ore base in France. ”But I saw it with my own eyes. Why is it in the Wilderness …”
”No wonder Bismark dared to fight in this battle, he had long seen through the strength of France!”
Xiao Letian had been to England and explored the many industrial cities in Prussia. He had never forgotten the gray skies in London and the pollution on the streets was so severe that he thought he had returned to the capital of the city.
The smoke pipe outside City of London was like a dense forest, thick smoke was rolling and locking the blue sky and white clouds, the entire London street was covered in soot.
In London, the most dilapidated clothes are white and light, because nobody dares to wear them out and they turn black and gray in less than a quarter of an hour.
There was also the Ruhr industrial zone in Prussia, which was filled with factories and was extremely polluted by the environment. As far as the eye could see, the colors were all black and gray.
However, such a serious pollution had turned into a glory for the British and Prussian. This was because this pollution represented the industry that was at the forefront of the country at that time, heavy industry!
Slice down all the forests, dig out the coal and iron ores from the crust, burn the furnaces and steam them with flames, and spread railway network in all directions … The pitch-black smoke covered the entire horizon!
This was not a shameful scene, not a single bit shameful. Instead, everyone was proud of him!
In that era, heavy industry was equivalent to future generations of IT, aerospace technology, biology, electronics, web information... And so on and so forth.
A country with a strong heavy industry was like a country that could produce the best electronic chips in the future. That was their core competitive strength!
In the 21st century, heavy industry's national weapon had become a rotten street, and all countries had to reduce their production energy. However, at the end of nineteenth century, heavy industry's product had the highest value for science and technology and also the greatest profits!
Krupp's export of a 210 shoreline gun to the Great Qing was a profit on three ships of tea and silk, a windfall!
”France, France, they are asking for food with a golden rice bowl in their hands. Even now, this piece of land is not polluted, yet the construction of a heavy industry area is so slow?” If you don't lose, then who loses! ”
However, Wang Huaiyuan laughed and said, ”Isn't this good news? Such a vast forest is a good battlefield for us SPECIAL SERVICES to fight in! ”
”Leader, with your summer camouflage clothes and special tactics, today is the day of actual combat!”
Xiao Letian looked at the southern horizon and mountain range, and said softly. ”It's starting? ”It's about time to start …”
Pah pah pah … A burst of rapid gunfire sounded out from the east side of the forest, as a series of bullets flew out from the dense forest, shooting towards French cavalry who was resting and eating.
The tall trumpeter was using her spoon to stir the broth when a bullet drilled straight through his back and through his heart. Blood spurted out and dyed the broth blood-red.
Boom! * * Boom! * The trumpeter's body hit the bonfire and splattered everywhere!
The French company was shocked, but the elites were the elites. Everyone was stunned for less than two seconds, when Company Commander shouted, ”Enemy attack, enemy attack from the east!” Shoot back! ”
