(Premise of alternate history) In 1925, the 13-year war between the Empire and the French Republic was changed by a major. But apart from a moment of shock, the fate of ordinary soldiers has not changed. It is still endless defense and offense. The age limit for military conscription has also been lowered repeatedly, from the original 20 years old to the current 15 and a half years old. The only good thing is that women do not have to perform military service and soldiers can go home after serving only 7 years.
A small soldier of the Imperial Army, Corporal Bais, and his friends were also involved in this war at a very young age. But now that they are used to war, life has become more monotonous for them.
But since the major's photos and deeds were published in newspapers, the war seemed to have become strange. The number of attacks became more frequent, and the war became more and more brutal. New tanks, planes, flamethrowers and poison gas are also used more and more frequently.
Year after year of war has destroyed the soldiers' nerves and their future. Bais's troops were mobilized more and more often and suffered more casualties. But they don't know what happened, and they can't possibly know what happened.
One after another, his companions died in front of Bais.
"What's all this about?"
"I don't know."
Purpose: Reflect on war and oppose war
