53 Natural Enemy (1/2)
The entire combat planning department was buzzing with activity, though Tian Xing Jian and Karl had become outsiders of the war and were extremely free. To them, their most important daily work was inputting the required data after verification into the computer, after which they would wait for the results before bringing it to the other research units.
Thus, the majority of the time would be spent with Karl in Tian Xing Jian’s office as they idly chatted, boasting about themselves.
When speaking about live battles happening on the front lines, Karl, as someone who did not have any actual experience on the front lines, would naturally not have any right to speak; however, when it came to matters regarding the situation of the nation, military affairs, or classical theoretical examples of battles, Fatty could only listen to the other party.
”The Tara River Military Campaign! Have you heard of the Tara River Military Campaign? I doubt you have! This ground-based army battle is truly one of the most classical campaigns.” Karl’s big head shook back and forth, with hands gesticulating and saliva flying.
The ignorant and inexperienced Tian Xing Jian could only honestly admit that he had indeed never heard of this before.
”I truly do not know how you got your way into the combat planning department.” Karl had an expression of puzzlement before continuing, ”For you to not even have heard of the Tara River Military Campaign.” His heart became shattered over his admiration for this idol.
Fatty waved his fist, signalling to the big-headed monster that if he did not continue with the main topic, he would certainly be firmly suppressed.
Fatty had come from a background of training as a scout, spending long periods of time being pressed onto the ground before being punched. This sort of bitterness allowed Karl to discern what the other party was thinking from his body expressions, thus he immediately continued, ”The circumstances during that military campaign is quite similar to the war we are currently fighting. However, regardless of whether it is our military strength, our equipment quality, our commanding techniques, or other aspects, we are still inferior to those big nations like the Republic of Ryan and the Naga Federation of ten years ago, much less to say the ultra-big nations.”
Tian Xing Jian disapproved that statement, ”Even if we cannot achieve that, do you think Gyaca Woods, who have an economical strength half of ours, has achieved it? As long as we chase them out, how formidable the other nations are isn’t our business!”
Karl shouted, ”War is an art! An art! Tara River Military Campaign is the most classical example of the art of war. Furthermore, do you think that this is as simple as just Gyaca Woods Empire waging war with us? You don’t even know the motivation behind why they had started this war!”
Talking about war, Karl immediately entered this fanatical state that. If not for his fear of Tian Xing Jian’s fist, Karl’s spittle would just fly all over Fatty’s face.
Tian Xing Jian asked in bewilderment, ”Other than resources, could there be any other possible motivation?”
Karl felt that this action of admiring and treating Fatty as his idol was one of his life’s greatest shame. This chap, other than being quite formidable in his deduction skills, did not have any knowledge on other subjects. Seeing how Fatty had exerted a large amount of strength into his fist to calm himself down, he started to teach Fatty about this topic. ”Right now, you should understand the history of these nations, right?”
Tian Xing Jian nodded. ”Mn, I’ve learned about them when I was learning about the history of the human race’s outer-space exploration.”
Seeing that he himself did not have to teach Fatty right from the start, Karl let out a breath of relief. ”Several thousand years ago when the federal union on Earth started breaking up into different groups to snatch the capital resources, most of these resources had been used up. The discoveries made by the ultra-big nations were all either without any development potential, or those nations did not have any human-migrated planets in the public starfields, thus humankind has currently started turning into wolves locked up within a cage and killing each other.”
Tian Xing Jian laughed. ”Even after talking about this for half a day, the reason behind this is still for the sake of resources.”
