The original post has a long caption explaining the purpose of the first Soc Trang
Campaign (from April 4 to April 30, 1950) - which the French and English wikis have nothing about, unsurprisingly. This military offensive by the Viet Minh in the Mekong Delta was an offensive campaign by the armed forces of Zone 9 in the districts of Chau Thanh, Thanh Tri, Ke Sach and a part of Long Phu district (provincial province of Vietnam), with the aim of narrowing the control area, breaking the French defense system as well as shaking the morale of French soldiers in the South.
The National Guard participating in the campaign included:
- Battalion 404 (Southern main force)
- Battalion 402 (Area 9)
- Three independent companies (1089, 1098, 1094)
- Local guerrillas
- A platoon of Issarak (Cambodian resistance force)
The French Force has:
- 2nd Battalion BMRD (2 companies)
- Company 8/RTC
- A company of 90mm cannon.
The campaign takes place in two phases:
- Phase 1 (April 4-11), the National Guard defeated the Bung Trop post (April 4-05), attacked reinforcements on the section of Soc Trang - Bo Thao, and destroyed a French company.
- Phase 2 (from April 12 to 30), conducting armed propaganda among the Khmer people, combining with traffic raiding. Simultaneously, they attacked the My Phuoc fort, blocked reinforcements, and destroyed a platoon, but fighting the fortresses of Xa Vi and Giuoc Dang (Jourdan) was unsuccessful.
This was the first campaign in Zone 9 in the Resistance War against the French. Although the military victory of the National Guard was still limited, it left a lot of experience in combining combat with propaganda, mass mobilization, and construction. building the base of the Khmer ethnic minority area.

AA Battery Voltage
AA batteries are some of the most common batteries used in consumer electronics, despite 18650 and similar batteries offering much more energy and power.
As such, AA batteries are present in a long list of available battery chemistries, each one offering its own pros and cons, including the voltage and capacity, leaving many people wondering what the voltage of an AA battery is.

me now: *showing symptoms for autism and openly using the asexual label, learning what a special interest is* oh it all makes sense now

"an anonymous 'AA Battery' has summoned WRIOTHESLEY for the event . . ."
A/N : this was a BLAST omg ,, it was fun talking with u !!
✦ㅤㅤE = experience (how experienced is he? does he know what he's doing?)
wriothesley is probably one of the more experienced genshin men i write about. from the simple way this man has got to be at least in his early to mid-30's to having crawled up the ranks of meropide, he's had plenty of opportunities for sex. he's been asked out and done the asking out in turn, though it usually ends amicably or devolves into a simple friends-with-benefits situation. he is not ashamed of his active sex life ! the only annoying part is having to go to sigewinne for condoms . . .
so, yeah. he's got the experience to lay with you for a damn good time.
✦ㅤㅤI = intimacy (how is he during the moment? the romantic aspect !)
his experience with the added intimacy, too . . . mmm. because believe it or not, he's incredibly romantic—with you, that is. in past hook-ups, not so much; but with you, he's wholly devoted. he's always got to be touching you. usually (when he's not cuffed . . . spoiler alert (゜o゜;) !!), he keeps a hand at your jaw or holding tight to your shoulders, even lacing his fingers through yours when you're too far for that other stuff. he's a very touchy-feely guy, too, so paired up with the boundless love he holds for you—it's quite the intimate moment.
"i love you," is his favorite thing to say in bed. hell, even when he's begging for you, he's doing it between these breathy declarations of love. saying, "oh—mm, i love you, love you—" while he's clawin' at the sheets . . . and when i say that he's in the moment, he's in the moment. the entire world narrows down to the two of you in bed, tangled bodies and muted gasps of pleasure—that's all that exists to him, here.
✦ㅤㅤK = kink (one or more of his kinks)
handcuffs. there's no doubt about it. he wants to be at your mercy, and what better way to do that than cuff him up? lock his hands together behind his back, bind him to the headboard above his head, or have his hands locked in front of him and resting between his spread thighs: he loves it all. there's a certain feeling of helplessness that comes with restricting his hands and giving you they key, but he revels in it, in the trust the two of you have in one another. cuffed in your bed, he knows he needs to fear nothing nor want for anything: you'll keep him safe and give him everything.
and, listen: i know i give basically every character i write about a praise kink just because that's what i'm into, but this man is almost the embodiment of it. his entire life, he's been kicked around: to be able to give himself up to you entirely and be told that he's good, that he's enough—it all makes his head get filled up with cotton. tell him, "you're doing perfect f'r me," or maybe even toss in a few, "good boy, wrio." knowing that he's pleasing you and deserving of pleasure in turn—that's what really gets his gears goin'.
✦ㅤㅤS = stamina (how many rounds can he go for? how long does he last?)
he's a force to be reckoned with—in the pankration ring and in bed. all those thickly corded muscles aren't just for show; the man has power, and he has seemingly endless stamina. stamina, however, doesn't quite equal satisfaction for dear wriothesley: he can get one orgasm and still be energized after, even ready for his day afterwards, but he'll be satisfied with whatever you give him. because he loves taking on a submissive role around you—one that lets him forget the stresses of his day, a time where he no longer needs to be in charge and in control of everything in his life—, he often doesn't even need to expunge that much energy: that is, unless he's riding you.
when he's riding you, god. wriothesley can go for ages, bouncing up and down on your cock until the both of you are spent, satisfied. he still gets jerky with his movements, still whimpers; but he doesn't get all that tuckered out. wrio can go at it for one round or a whole day of marathon sex: it depends entirely on what the two of you are in the mood for <3
✦ㅤㅤT = toys (does he own toys? does he use them? how often? on a partner or himself?)
as it is, wriothesley's always got options: he has plenty of connections to get more sex toys if he wants them, and i fully believe that this man went through a shit-ton of them before finding what he likes best. once he found 'em, he sticks to them: a simple FTM stroker and a rabbit vibrator are all he needs for himself. don't fix what ain't broke is his motto, really. however, he still keeps all the old ones he goes through—it's partially out of not wanting to admit they were a waste of mora/credit coupons, but also wanting to keep toys handy for you. if you've got a cunt, he keeps a good few straps and corresponding dildos for you to fuck him with; if it's a cock you've got, he's a fan of using vibrators on you. in the end, though, he uses (or, really, you use) the toys on himself more often.
but let's get back to those two handy toys of his, yeah? wriothesley loves the stroker for a quick nut or two—typically he uses it in the morning before he gets on with his day. other times, however, he uses it as a precursor to the rabbit vibe. wrio using the stroker to get his cock nice n' plump, thick 'nuff to nudge between the vibrator's twin ears . . . and although it's difficult for him to hold the stroker still and finger himself open in preparation for the rabbit, wriothesley typically ends up cupping his cock with his fingers, just brushing past the sensitive head of it, as he holds himself open for his other hand to fuck himself loose on.
in the end, he's masturbates regularly—more-so on the days every two weeks surrounding his t-shots. he can't help the way it makes him so horny !! and, hey—what's a guy left to do without you if not jack off?
nnnnn i got a lil' carried away with that last one . . . we all know how i love wrio with a good rabbit vibe . . . haha . . . (i still get activity on that post daily, it's insane LMAOO) but anyway, thank u so much for requesting ლ(^o^ლ) i hope i did him well for you !
