Dr. Werner Best, who looked away from the artillery mirror and was hiding in the hidden bunker, let out a sigh.
In the history of intelligent creatures, there are generally two types of walls built: one is the physical wall, which is visible and tangible; the other is the spiritual wall which is invisible and intangible.
The wall that stands in front of Dr. Best, known as the "internal boundary line" or the "defense wall of wrong ideas" is a bit special. First of all, it is a physical wall, and at the same time it is slowly becoming a spiritual wall.
The high wall, physical isolation, and separation are having an important impact on the thoughts, consciousness, concepts, and spirits of the divided people. Sooner or later, the two sides of the wall will be completely divided, bringing consequences to the country and the people who built the wall.
A profound disaster.
This is a tragedy. Even if Dr. Best is an elf and a member of the Stasi, he was sent here specifically to observe this tragedy. But as a highly educated and well-educated decent person, it is still difficult for him to act like
Some of his compatriots were so overjoyed, but he didn't
He plans to express too many opinions on human internal affairs, let alone change anything. For Dr. Best, the most important thing at the moment is his own job - recording everything that happens here, learning, and discussing the lessons learned.
Accumulate experience for future occupation policies in Alfheim.
Even so, the doctor will still have many emotions when looking at that "wall".
It is said to be a "wall", but from an academic point of view, it is more appropriate to call it an "isolation system". Except for a few parts built with cement prefabricated boards that can indeed be called a "wall", most of the blocks are only in a short period of time.
In two days, temporary iron fences and iron barriers were installed, plus some trenches, guard posts and turret-style watchtowers. There were large gaps in many areas, making the entire "internal border" look sparse.
It seems that crossing this crude isolation zone is not difficult.
Anyone who tries to break through with this idea will surely die - just like the corpses hanging on the pillars.
They were all losers who tried to sneak through the "wall". Different from their rough appearance, the crown prince made a lot of preparations for weaving this dragnet, including room reserves, staffing and the order "Anyone who tries to climb over the wall will be shot to death", so that
It soon began to play the expected role. Some game breakers were triggered.
Traps and muskets killed them on the spot, and the other part did not die immediately. But they would soon envy the dead. In order to serve as a warning, Charlemagne's soldiers guarding the "wall" forbade anyone to help until they fell.
The people bled to death, and then their bodies were collected and hung on border posts.
Just yesterday, Dr. Best witnessed a tragic scene: a pregnant woman with two children, accompanied by many farmers, knelt in front of the soldiers guarding the border and begged to let her go to the other side: she was about to give birth.
Now. His husband has been drafted to the front. There is still no news. The nearest doctor is in the village on the other side of the border. If not
If you can let her go, then ask the soldiers to let the doctor come over. All the villagers are also willing to provide security for this pregnant woman. The soldiers stationed here are also honest young people recruited from the countryside, and they do not intend to embarrass this poor woman.
, and they didn’t want to provoke public anger. But just when they were about to open up a wide margin, General Hainaut, who was inspecting the “anti-erroneous ideological wall”, arrived.
This harsh and tyrannical general refused the villagers' request regardless of the reason, and ordered the soldiers to drive away all these "unscrupulous country bumpkins". Just when the general was about to leave, the pregnant woman's two children did not know whether they were afraid or afraid.
Emotionally, he stopped in front of the general. As a result, the horse was frightened and Hainao fell off. The angry Hainao used magic to throw a child into the river, forbidding anyone to rescue him, and ordered all villagers not to leave.
Open, close your eyes or turn your head, and watch the whole process of the child finally drowning in the river. Then the pregnant woman who fainted from fright was hanged, and the one who served as a stepping chair was her other child - supporting the mother.
With the full weight of his unborn younger brothers and sisters, the 10-year-old child supported it for a day and a night. Finally, he passed out due to hunger and thirst. When he woke up and saw his stiff mother and the stillborn child with the umbilical cord at her feet, the child went crazy...
…
Compared with the bloody atrocities, the scene of a family and their children waving to their grandparents on the other side of the border under the strict surveillance of the border troops is not so shocking, but every time they see this scene, not only Dr. Best himself, but also
The Stasi operator who accompanied the doctor to take notes couldn't help but shake his head.
The doctor doesn't know how humans view this. In his opinion, no matter what the original intention of the planner of the "wall" was, these crimes are enough to nail him and the "wall" he designed to the pillar of shame forever.
However, they seem not to care about this, and instead invest more energy and resources to improve this "internal boundary line", including more fences, trigger-type, induction-type spells, lightning barriers, anti-vehicle trenches, and iron caltrops
The tower... actually includes the Type 75 "Defense Wall" specially provided by v.e Company for small prisons - a 3.6-meter-high, 1.2-meter-wide cement wall component with a 30-centimeter-diameter sewage pipe installed on the top of the component.
, the pipe is very smooth, and there is no way for those who climb over. In addition, these people also started to research an "automatic shooting device", planning to install it on the wall, relying on the technique of sensing the vibration of human footsteps to control the linked flintlock gun
Aim and shoot.
"In any case, this approach is too extreme. Originally, the people of the Crown Territory still had a lot of identification with Charlemagne, but the recent grain requisition operation has been accompanied by a large number of murders, robberies, rapes, and extortion, coupled with the establishment of
The measure of building a wall to imprison everyone has greatly shaken the residents' trust in Charlemagne, which has triggered a series of suspicions and concerns about the suzerain and the royal family. People who try to cross the "wall" and dissatisfied people
The number of people continues to increase, and at some point in the future, this may..."
While Dr. Best was writing furiously in his notebook, his assistant tapped him on the shoulder a few times. Putting down the pen, the doctor once again put his eyes against the artillery mirror, and then his expression turned into disbelief.
.
A large group of men were approaching the "wall", the garrison had raised their guns, and in the jungle behind the soldiers, a mother and son were running wildly.
Amidst the gunshots and roars, the two men did not look back and ran towards Luders with all their strength.

"Let me see, um..."
Favna looked at it for a while, then straightened Roland's collar and pulled the epaulettes on both sides.
"What a young and handsome officer. Ladies will be crazy about you, and there will be no shortage of men seeking duels with you."
Roland smiled bitterly and could not say anything. It had only been an hour since he had enjoyed the last dark meal. Even though he had amazing vitality and used sunglasses and a tongue mask to prevent blindness and tongue decay, he was still defeated by his adoptive father's craftsmanship.
.Now it is very difficult to stay awake, and there is no extra energy to speak.
But even so, he couldn't rest peacefully in bed. Just now, the Wang Navy sent someone over to send him his military uniform and rank. He needed to try it on immediately so that the tailor could modify the details. In two days, he would need to
Setting off with the condolence group, there was not much time left for the tailor.
Looking at the navy lieutenant commander with a pale face in the mirror, Roland felt weak again.
His proposal to accompany Minerva to the front line as an escort was passed easily. Prime Minister Richelieu and the royal family were happy to see this political ceremony that represented a compromise between them and the consortium, and gave the green light to the proposal. However, the specific details of the operation
On the way, they encountered an unexpected trouble: what identity should Roland use to accompany him?
Most people would find it strange. Acting as a bodyguard to protect your fiancée is romantic and reasonable, so why should you bother with your identity? In fact, there are still a lot of truths in it.
A practical problem is that in a legal sense, Roland is still a civilian.
To the nobles and soldiers, it is not romantic at all for a noble princess of a country to be protected by a commoner. The nobles feel that this is a violation of rules and propriety, while the military are worried about being considered to have a serious lack of combat effectiveness in the army.
Private people are needed to protect the safety of the princess and many young ladies, which will make them feel overwhelmed...
Roland must be given an identity that can be accepted by everyone. This is everyone's unanimous opinion, but which identity is better? This issue has once again caused controversy. The nobles resolutely refused to grant Roland a title, even a temporary knighthood.
Because this is not in line with the "rules", it is "natural" to wait until Roland graduates or marries Her Royal Highness to be granted a noble title. The army is not satisfied with the temporary grant.
There are also many opinions on the military rank. According to the level of the consolation group, the escort accompanying him is at least the rank of a colonel. However, although there are many cases in the army where people become officers through nepotism, they are "one of our own", and Roland is not. Moreover, it is generally not possible to enter the army.
They all start from lieutenant, and let a rich second generation who has never been in the army for a day become a major all of a sudden? All the officers in the army who are eagerly looking forward to promotion will be mad.
After three consecutive days of quarreling, the army finally gave in considering that there might be similar opportunities in the future, and the quarrel was transferred within the army.
The Army's attitude is very clear. They have a bad relationship with the consortium and there is nothing they can do to help. Since this is a purely land operation, the naval rank does not seem suitable. The Titans said that we have a relationship with whom, say hello, don't say anything.
The four diamonds given to the second-level commando team leader (major) and the oak leaf given to the flag captain (colonel) are trivial. However, considering the current delicate situation, this kind invitation, which is easy to imagine, was declined.
After final discussion and research, the final result was that the Navy won, and Roland became a glorious Navy... Marine Corps temporary major, commanding a team of Navy "Special Type 2 Internal Fireboats" and a Marine Battalion to provide escort for the condolences group.
This is the best solution.
Due to the competition for resources and the disputes between the groups behind them, the Army and Navy have been "fighting" constantly. The Army secretly established its own "Army Water Force" in the name of the need for forced inland river crossings, and the Navy also used the name of the Marine Corps to establish its own "Marine Corps"
Cavalry", "Marine Gun Corps", "Marine Artillery Corps". When the Army secretly develops its own "Army Corps"
"Waterborne load-carrying vehicle" - in order to avoid being associated with words like "sea" and "ship", the Army calls their warships this way. In response, the Navy also developed the so-called "Special Type 2 Internal Fire Boat" - which is very important to the Navy.
It is also unimaginable to use words like "land" and "car", so they call their armed trains this way...
In response to this almost insane confrontation, Roland didn't know what to say except for a wry smile.
The three armies of the Alfheim Defense Force also have internal strife, and it is common for meetings to allocate resources to get into trouble. If it weren't for the strict ban, the generals and colonels would have already used submachine guns, grenades, mortars and the like.
Carry them into the conference room and let these tough guys speak.
But even so, the SADF is still moving forward steadily. Should this be attributed to the skill of its top leadership? Or is it its unique institutionalized conflict mediation mechanism? There is no clear conclusion on this, and it is difficult to comment.
For Roland, these problems can be put aside for the time being. He must devote all his energy to this trip. (To be continued...)
