Chapter 747

Chen Xin's short stay in Stalingrad did not delay their trip. After replenishment, the frigate set off again for Europe.

However, after the land ship took off, Chen Xin left the cabin and came to the deck to overlook the city that has left a great reputation in the history of World War II.

In the war that can be called human catastrophe, suvia and Germany launched a fierce war around the city. Both sides invested heavily here and killed more than 2 million people. It can be called the most bloody and tragic war in modern history.

Now, however, looking down from the sky, it is difficult to find the traces left by the war.

On the contrary, the city has long been rebuilt, and now it has become an important logistics node for Lucia to deliver supplies to the Eastern European defense line under construction. The whole city is very lively.

Stalingrad itself is an important major grain, coal and fuel producing area in Lucia. In those years, the Germans attacked here just to get rich resources in the south of Lucia.

Now, these valuable resources are transported here and then transported to the Eastern European defense line to support the construction of the defense line.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xin asked the officer who had been following him: "how is the construction progress of the Eastern European defense line? Do you think this defense line will be used?"

"At present, the main construction of the Eastern European defense line has been completed by 60%, and the fortresses of several important defense nodes are under construction, but I only hope this is a Maginot defense line." facing Chen Xin's question, the officer answered somewhat unexpectedly.

Hearing the officer mention the famous French defense line in the world military history, although Chen Xin could understand his meaning, he still asked, "why do you say that?"

"Isn't a defense line that costs a lot of resources and energy to build but is not used exactly in line with the meaning of the existence of the Eastern European defense line?" for the Eastern European defense line, the officers naturally think that it will never be used: "Although we all know the necessity of building the Eastern European defense line, if this defense line is really used, it means that the whole Europe has been occupied. I'm afraid this is not the result you want, academician Chen?"

Maginot line, a line of defense built by France to resist possible German attacks in World War II, is to prevent the tragic war as in World War I and the tragedy of being hit under the capital city.

However, the Germans did not attack the defense line directly, but bypassed the forest on the side of the defense line, which made the defense line built by the French spend a lot of time and energy into a decoration, and with lightning speed, the French signed the surrender letter in more than a month.

The officer mentioned this line of defense at this time, of course, hoping that the Eastern European line of defense would be as useless as the Maginot line.

After all, if this line of defense comes into use, it means that France, Italy, Austria and other countries on the front line are all defeated by alien creatures, and even Germany has fallen. Otherwise, the military peak of alien creatures can't reach here.

However, Chen Xin had another worry. He asked the officer, "what's the situation in the black sea? Have those alien creatures broken through the Turkish Strait?"

Although the Eastern European defense line can block the attack of alien creatures from the land, if they break through the Turkish Strait and attack from the Black Sea, they can bypass the Eastern European defense line and then directly insert into the Asian continent, making the whole Eastern European defense line like the magino defense line. It is really a decoration.

"At present, the situation is still ideal. Turkey is not the main attack direction of alien creatures. Although the attack is also fierce, they have blocked alien creatures out of the Black Sea because of the firm resistance of several countries in the Balkans." when the officer mentioned this matter, he could not help paying a little respect to those countries: "At present, Lucia is trying to provide support for them, and extends the Eastern European defense line to the Turkish Strait, which has been included in the planning scope of the defense line. At present, this is also the only belligerent zone on the whole Eastern European defense line."

Hearing what the officer said, Chen Xin couldn't help picking his eyebrows.

As the birthplace of World War I, the Balkan Peninsula has always been called the Balkan powder keg. Ethnic and religious issues have kept the region in a state of war for a long time. They fight by themselves and foreign interference forces

There was little peace in this land. Even at the end of the last century, the embassy established by Yanguo here was bombed

Although more than 20 years have passed, many people have gradually forgotten this history, as a person born in that era, Chen Xin has personally experienced those things. Even in those years, he was a member who took to the streets to protest.

Now, however, the Federation that caused the embassy bombing has been destroyed under the natural disaster, and the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization are also friendly forces that need support and unity.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin only feels an unspeakable irony, but this is the necessity caused by the current situation. People can't help feeling that if there are so-called gods and controlling the damn fate, he must be a hopeless bastard.

However, despite such thinking, Chen Xin did not intend to retaliate against European countries or pit them. After all, these countries are also comrades in arms of the same camp to resist alien invasion. Pit them led to their defeat, the collapse of European defense lines, and the long drive of alien creatures is obviously not the result Chen Xin wants.

But if you don't pit them, it doesn't mean you can't let them suffer or shed some blood. After all, Yanguo's assistance is not free. Since they want all kinds of materials and equipment supported by Yanguo, it's serious to exchange the price and interests satisfactory to Yanguo, isn't it?

As for free aid... If Yanguo dares to give it to them, it may not dare to ask for it. The most expensive thing in the world is free.

Thinking about these problems, Chen Xin was still worried about the Turkish Strait, so he asked the officer, "can we go to the Turkish Strait when we return? I want to know about the defense construction there. After all, if the Turkish Strait is broken through, all our efforts will be in vain."

"I see. I'll apply to China. If we get the permission from China, we can go there." the officer nodded and didn't refuse. Although he needs to prevent Chen Xin from running around to ensure his safety, he doesn't mean that Chen Xin is not allowed to go anywhere.
