Chapter 381: Discovery of the Operation Against the Northern Interdimensional Portal

North of Trian, which became the northern border of Amerlane after the war, the sounds of gunfire did not quiet down as most people expected in the initial days after the war.

On the New Year of 675, heavy snow fell, but at this moment, north of Trian, the armed forces of the Amerinsi Social Republic Union, officially known as the Amerinsi People's Red Army, were still fighting.

Since the Amerinsi Revolution, the country has undergone tremendous changes. The Amerinsi National Progressive League has gathered the workers' and peasants' revolutionary headquarters in various places and, with the proletarian cadres that have been cultivated over the past ten years, led the workers and peasants in various places to seize local power.

Within these regions, the Workers' and Peasants' Commune regime replaced the regional, municipal, town, and township governments. The means of production and companies in various places were collectively owned, owned by the commune, and owned by the state. Many citizens were subjected to armed and verbal struggles in this revolution. However, one class was explicitly forbidden from being affected: the immediate family members of the nearly one million Amerinsi armed forces in the north. Because they were serving in the north, in order to stabilize the northern border and protect the morale of soldiers and officers, those families who hung "Glorious Family" plaques at their doors were more or less spared from the impact.

Now, the various units and corps stationed on the northern defense line still maintain the same organizational structure as before the revolution. Although years of fighting have reduced the combat capabilities of many units, they have no room to retreat.

Trian Forward Base ——————————————————————————————

"The interdimensional rift is still expanding today... Since its creation, it has expanded outward by three kilometers. At this rate, our troops deployed along this line need to retreat immediately, otherwise..."

"We've retreated again and again, and now, relying on the terrain, we can still snipe those things coming out of the rifts... But without the terrain advantage, we would be completely unable to deal with the enemy's almost endless attack echelons!"

For the soldiers, the biggest challenge at present is the enemy's attack echelons. The enemies emitting fluorescence in front of them are not some advanced technology, nor are they incomprehensible enemies—but rather an army that is exactly the same as them, but ten times larger in scale.

Those troops were wielding the same rifles as them, and the same fighter jets and air-to-air missiles were flying in the sky. Any weaponry deployed by the multinational forces in this area would be deployed to the battlefield by the opposing enemy after it had been put into use. Initially, only light infantry jumped out from the rift and spatial teleportation, but as the first Amelansi armored unit probed the direction of the rift, the first enemy armored unit equipped with main battle tanks was immediately confirmed to have appeared on the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, enemy fighter groups, tactical bomber groups, artillery groups, and even rapid reaction armored units were also confirmed to have appeared on the battlefield. These entities from another dimension did not leave behind any wreckage or physical form after being destroyed, but rather dissipated and disappeared.

"I believe that only by immediately deploying long-range surface-to-surface tactical missiles and adding air and naval forces to the battlefield can we alleviate our current predicament..."

One general suggested this, but Rafis shook his head: if Raffarin's experience over the years has not been wrong, then there is one tactic that is the best.

"No, comrades, simply throwing high-tech weaponry at them is playing right into their hands... I propose that we prepare a force equipped with muzzle-loading rifles, bronze muzzle-loading cannons, and even cold weapons to advance..."

Rafis Yao took out a whole stack of research data, which was the result of Raffarin Low's research over the past ten years, and the conclusions were reached through calculations by ENIAC, Graywind, and others.

That is, these interdimensional rifts in front of us are actually a kind of cognitive weapon.

In the northern wasteland ring, Raffarin Lowe and ENIAC replicated a large number of advanced combat weapons from the United Nations of Earth, but the results of their operations over the years have been far from ideal.

But as the war progressed, they gradually discovered a startling fact—the interdimensional rift before them actually adhered to a settled principle—the principle of equal combat.

This is a theory that has only recently been proven—that all forces in this world that attack this rift will be analyzed by the rift, thereby generating an equivalent combat force.

Simply put, if the force attacking the rift is a muzzle-loading rifle unit, then the force emerging from the rift will also be a unit using muzzle-loading rifle technology.

If the force attacking the rift is an entire motorized sailing ship with wooden hulls and iron ribs, then the enemy will also retaliate with warships of similar wooden hull and iron rib technology.

While it may seem meaningless, the greatest benefit of keeping the war at a low level is that it prevents the war from expanding due to the provision of technological advancements.

In other words, a flintlock regiment 300 kilometers north of Trian is different from a modern mechanized combat force 500 kilometers north of Trian, equipped with long-range tactical missiles, fighter jets, and drones.

This was demonstrated in the battles in the wasteland ring. Initially, when advanced arsenal ships were used for naval operations, the enemy fleet would also take the opportunity to strike Raffarin's command nodes. However, when Raffarin subsequently attacked with steamships, one of the enemy's main fleets was unable to break through the battle lines and attack Raffarin Lo's coastal defenses from beyond visual range.

So, absurd as it may seem, this is the absurd scene currently unfolding in the northern wasteland ring: rows upon rows of cheap combat robots march northward, carrying silver-white Minié rifles to the beat of a robot band. Meanwhile, ultra-light bronze infantry guns, optimized for structural performance, bombard the extradimensional forces, modeled after unknown alien races, with grenades and shotgun shells.

One of the biggest advantages of this low-cost warfare is that it can significantly reduce the productivity gap in this world with the same level of combat power, thereby suppressing the productivity gap in these interdimensional rifts.

These thick documents, projected onto the screen, left all the generals speechless. Given the current rapid advancements in military technology, they were suddenly faced with the prospect of returning to the wars of that era.
