Chapter 360 Amelansie's Great Moment
Following Operation Silent Dawn, Amelansi's forces advanced further north, marking the first time for many of these soldiers to venture deep into the northern border and witness the landscape of the nation's northern frontier.
The newly issued winter uniforms feature a hammer and sickle within a tricolor floral emblem, representing the new military insignia and uniform, as well as the uniform of the newly established Armed Forces of the Amerinsi Social Republic Union.
Today, a significant portion of all troops in the North have undergone the transformation by the International Brigades, and the command structure of platoon, company, regiment, brigade, and division-level units has been revised, with the addition of a dual political instructor system.
Alice believed that the armed forces were not only combat teams, but also guidance teams and work teams. Wherever the troops fought, social transformation had to begin, and the self-liberation of the workers had to be carried out. Down with the invaders, down with the capitalists, down with all the harmful pests!
As more and more troops were undergoing reorganization and training in the rear, Alice added a large number of political officers to this unit and started political activities to reform the old troops.
From its former status as a national army, the Amerlansi Army was striving to become a people's army, a true people's army. Alice enacted a powerful law to eradicate the bad habits that had arisen in the previous army and to implement a policy of equality between officers and soldiers. This equality was not only equality in status but also equality in daily treatment—from officers and soldiers eating together to cultural education, from gender-equal service to racial-equal service. The Amerlansi Social Republic Union Armed Forces began to become a revolutionary army. In peacetime, the troops began to organize proletarian consciousness studies, and a group of young instructors were quickly trained under the guidance of a considerable number of veteran proletarian instructors transferred from Colombia.
The troops that went to the front lines were more determined to fight than the last. Soldiers who had returned home, soldiers who fought for the proletariat, and soldiers who simply wanted to obey orders stepped into the northern border under the red hammer and sickle flag with a tricolor background and fought fiercely.
Under Alice's strategy, the troops are about to push back to the border. Apart from Whiterun, the southern and eastern parts of the North have been liberated, and the western coastline, except for Murmania which is heavily controlled by the Imperial Army, has returned to the embrace of Amelansi.
Of course, the arrival of harsh winter and supply problems still hampered the Amerlancy forces' progress in retaking the North. The North was covered in snow in winter, and blizzards restricted the advance of truck supply convoys. Before the Amerlancy forces could push back to the current front line, most of the railways had been destroyed by the retreating Imperial forces. Of course, a considerable number of transport hubs were also destroyed in Operation Silent Dawn.
Modern warfare is a war of logistics. Several artillery groups consume nearly a million shells every day. With insufficient logistics, even advancing becomes a luxury. To obtain supplies during the blizzard, Alice even had to use her connections within Amelansi to urgently reactivate several outdated large aerospace warships. These old ships were still warships from the artillery era. After removing a large number of cannons and installing modern command modules and anti-aircraft missiles, they were rejoined on the battlefield to transport ammunition and supplies during the blizzard.
These ships were named the "Blizzard" class. Fully loaded with ammunition and supplies, they delivered continued supplies to the front-line troops. The bulky and outdated hulls were once regarded as a savior by the troops. "Blizzards not only mean low visibility, but also the arrival of supplies" was a proverb circulating on the front lines.
"A ceasefire request?"
Alice looked at the document in front of her with a weary expression—in the midst of a blizzard, several officers of the Lucy Empire crossed the blizzard and handed several identical ceasefire agreements to different Amerlansi units—these Amerlansi units then passed these documents back to the rear through different channels.
The Imperial army at the front lines made no further tactical moves—but morale remained high—while the enemy troops in Murmania sang military songs and shouted, seemingly aware that the Amelansi forces were at their last gasp—both sides engaged in fierce fighting—the Amelansi forces, advancing from south to north, had gained a tactical advantage, but strategically, the Imperial forces had completed their operations and stockpiled large quantities of supplies. Therefore, despite the fact that Operation Silent Dawn had almost destroyed the supply routes and nodes of the entire Northern Territory and the western border regions of the Empire, the Imperial army was in a better position—for humanitarian reasons, heating in the cities of the Northern Territory was still not cut off—the heating for the Imperial garrison in the cities was provided by Amelansi—central heating channels only branched off to the suburbs of the cities, and the upstream Amelansi supply simply did not have the capacity to cut off the heating in military areas on its own.
Alice sighed – the ceasefire request, supposedly written by Empress Catherine herself, was filled with flattery of Alice – before abruptly shifting to a vehement condemnation of the Republic of Amelansi's interference in the Lasvia region: "The Lasvia region should have been an independent and glorious empire. It is your country's decades of brutal interference that have prevented the unity of the legitimate rulers of Lasvia with their people – the Lucy Empire is committed to safeguarding the rule of the legitimate rulers."
Empress Catherine even used sophistry to justify the legitimacy of the so-called "Duchy of Nordland"—although the legitimacy of that so-called Duchy of Nordland was less than that of the toilet paper Alice used.
Alice had a urge to keep going. Looking at the densely packed reports, she felt her energy waning and her patience waning.
She was somewhat irritated and slammed the report on the table, as if she were burning with anger—how could she tolerate Yekaterinburg's invasion of Amelia so grandly justified?
If she can tolerate it, can the people of Emerald Hill tolerate it?
A ceasefire? Even without supplies, the citizens of Amelansi will fight to the death for their country! Even—to do what is necessary! Alice considered revenge—forcibly invading the Lucy Empire is not out of the question—invading and staining it red...carrying...a bloody...killing...
Alice grew increasingly confused. Suddenly, she heard someone calling her. She tried to turn around, but her body felt incredibly heavy—the last thing she saw was Rafis's face before she lost consciousness.
