People who were not interested in silver might be interested in gold.
The strange drop in gold made people think of many things. Some people opened their eyes and observed the whole world in secret.
In the middle of March, the weather in Marillo became much warmer. At least people did not need to wear thick winter clothes to avoid frostbite and death in the snow.
The sudden drop in temperature this year affected the entire spring sowing plan in Marillo. Even in the middle of March, the spring sowing had not started yet.
Ryan jumped down from the train with his heavy personal equipment. Every time he breathed, he could faintly see two streams of hot air coming out of his nose.
He had spent the cold in the Federation. First, he needed to go back to the Federation to have his body checked. After all, his internal organs were injured and he almost died.
The frontline lacked enough medical equipment and high-end medical equipment to check on his injuries. He could only go back first, even though he did not want to go back.
When he returned, it was the cold weather. Even the railroad tracks were not safe under the low temperature, so the train to the front line was stopped. Knowing that the weather had warmed up recently and the surface temperature had increased, he took the first train back.
As soon as he got off the train, his comrade gave him a warm hug. "I thought the girls in the south were too enthusiastic and made you forget that we still have work here …"
His comrade patted Ryan hard, his face full of joy.
Only those who had participated in the war on the frontline could understand what a comrade was.
He could be his eyes.
It could also be his back.
He could be his wall.
It could also be his own weapon!
A comrade could play any role he needed at any time. It was even rarer to have a comrade who could cooperate well.
Especially in urban warfare, it was not possible to cultivate tacit understanding in a short period of time. It took time and even life to cultivate.
Ryan laughed loudly. He did not feel the weight of the equipment on his back at all. He patted his comrade's body. "Yes, yes, those girls are too enthusiastic."
"They almost drowned me. If it wasn't for the bastard waiting for me to bring him back, I might not have come back!"
His comrade let go of him and hammered his chest. "You liar!"
Ryan chuckled, looking a little wretched. "I'm not lying, I swear!"
Soldiers were not the most popular type in the Federation's marriage market, because the armies of various countries had suffered heavy casualties during the World War, including Gaffra's army.
At that time, there were many anti-war documentaries, movies, and some data records.
In these propaganda, people only had one concept of war, and that was that people would die, and a lot of people would die!
If someone married a soldier, perhaps she would become a widow the year the war broke out.
In some battles that were like a meat grinder, people couldn't even use a single number to preserve the dignity of a sacrificed soldier. They added units to the number.
Several hundred thousand people had died in a single battle. Every single person had been symbolized, but behind this number, there were just as many families that were suffering.
Therefore, soldiers were not the most popular men nowadays.
However, when Ryan returned this time, he was very popular because he was a field agent of Blackstone Security.
People knew how good the benefits of this company were. When he appeared in the bar wearing Blackstone Security's uniform, he immediately attracted many young girls to walk towards him.
When Blackstone Security recruited new employees, they announced the salary standards and contents of Blackstone Security to the public. When people saw that the lowest level of staff could get a base salary of four to five hundred yuan and commission every month, the whole society was shocked by the high salary of Blackstone Security.
Not to mention, they also had compensation and various benefits, so some people felt that dying for Blackstone Security was more valuable than dying for them.
At least if they sacrificed their lives for Blackstone Security, their families and children would never have any more hardships. They could go to school and go to university, which was the dream of many people!
In addition, the various benefits made people jealous. Some people joked that if they could, they would marry a Blackstone Security employee as soon as possible.
If he didn't die, then congratulations, you didn't need to work to enjoy the beauty of life.
If he sacrificed himself at work, then congratulations to you as well. You can get more money, more benefits, and more attention. You can even marry the next one!
During the entire holiday, other than daily training, Ryan spent his time in bars and hotels. Those passionate girls couldn't wait to sleep with him on the first day and marry him on the second day.
However, no matter how peaceful, quiet, and beautiful the rear was, he was eager to return here!
This was the place he should be. Only here could he feel the value of his existence.
"The command center gave a new order. In two days, we will continue to advance north …"
As the two of them walked towards their tent, Ryan's comrade talked about this matter. "The order is very urgent. You may not have much time to rest before we have to continue. I hope the girls in the south didn't make your legs weak …"
The entire camp was filled with a fiery atmosphere.
Isabella sat in the room. Her hair had grown out a lot. She didn't know if it was because of the psychological change, but she didn't grow her hair out again.
She had a very special kind of short hair. The back of her head, the side of her temples, and the circle of hair above her ears were all shaved off. Some of the hair on her scalp could be seen.
The top half of her hair was left long and tied into a small braid. This made her look a little fierce and fierce.
At this time, she was wearing a military uniform and sitting in front of the sand table. Looking at the flags on the sand table and referring to the changes during this period, she was a little confused.
The spring sowing was very important in Marillo. Even during the chaotic period of the warlords, they would not engage in large-scale conflicts during the spring sowing. Occasionally, there would be friction, but it could only be friction.
All conflicts and conflicts had to wait until the end of the spring sowing. This was an unwritten rule.
But now, the Federation had broken this rule.
"I don't understand. We can wait until mid-April. The temperature will be warmer then."
A commander in the room shook his head. "The ground is now frozen. If we want to wait for the spring sowing, we might have to wait for a long time. And I don't know if you've noticed."
"Once the ground thaws, the roads will become muddy. This will affect our speed and pace. The timing is just right. Those people are still in the spring sowing period. We can take advantage of the fact that they are unprepared and teach them a lesson."
The Federation's attitude, their behavior, and their thinking were all incompatible with this place. This made Isabella a little uncomfortable.
Although she knew that she had to pay a lot to bring the Federation people in, she still ignored the shamelessness of the Federation people.
Or rather, she ignored how shameless Lynch was. He didn't even consider giving her any autonomy. No matter what she said or did, it was all planned.
When she had a different opinion about those plans, no one would respect her opinion.
Isabella didn't continue to pester him. She changed her method to seek an answer. "Why are we in such a hurry to advance north? Is there something that I don't know about but should know about?"
The commander looked at her. On the surface, he maintained a certain level of respect. However, his eyes didn't show the attitude he was showing.
"Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. This doesn't mean much to us. What we need to do is to obey orders!"
The next day, another group of new employees arrived. These employees were recruited from society and trained. This group of people didn't mix with the soldiers of the Department of Defense. Instead, they formed a separate team. This was done under Lynch's instructions.
The soldiers of the Federation had received too much "correct education" for a long time. In a way, this was actually a very idealized rule of the Department of Defense.
The Department of Defense hoped that every soldier would have a sense of honor and feel that what they were doing was saving and not invading. This made them choose an obvious wrong answer when faced with some problems.
For example, sometimes when their enemies were too young, too old, or too female, they would naively hope that they would give up resisting.
Or when they encountered the enemy's fortifications, they didn't think of using better methods. Instead, they chose to attack head-on.
This wasn't a battle of justice. More importantly, Mr. Lynch said during the meeting that they must enter the designated area before June!
Without further explanation, the commanders sat together and discussed in low voices how to fight the next battle.
Isabella returned to her previous state. She stared blankly out the window.
Two days later, she watched as a large group of people from the Federation headed north under her banner. She had a feeling that she had been tricked.
This wasn't to help her take back everything she had. It was to make her bear the responsibility!
Ryan was also in the sequence of this expedition. After the troop carriers left the city, the further north they went, the more undulating the terrain became.
The terrain of Marillo was the opposite of Najalil. In Najalil, there were more plains, but in Marillo, there were more mountains.
Geologists said that this was caused by the movement of the earth's crust. As for whether it was true or not, who knew? In any case, they just treated it as if what they said was true.
From small hills to taller mountains appeared around them. In the end, these mountains connected into one.
When people were traveling on the road at the bottom of the mountain, they often couldn't see the top of the mountain. This made people feel small.
They were moving toward a pass. This used to be the most important transportation route in Marillo.
It would take less time to go north from here. If they wanted to go around this place, they would have to travel at least 700 to 800 kilometers!
This pass was also known as the "Bear Pass" by the people of Marillo to show off its magnificence!
