Chapter 1367 News of Victory (6,000, ask for a monthly ticket)
Although it has already entered November, the weather in Nai'an is still not too cold.
Although the cold current blowing from the far north is still raging in the north, it has weakened greatly by the time it reaches here after a long journey.
In addition, Naian is close to the ocean, and the wind blowing from the ocean brings warm and moist air currents.
The two currents of cold and warm air collide here, causing a light rain to fall in Nai'an from time to time.
This situation has greatly improved the air that became polluted due to severe industrial pollution in Nai'an.
Even after rain, you can often see a blue sky.
The effects of the war never seemed to reach here.
Although Emperor Rudelun issued a national mobilization order, grain, steel and other war materials were controlled, and industrial and agricultural tax rates were increased by 30%. People across the country were tightening their belts to support the empire's war cause, and industry and commerce were also greatly affected.
The impact seems to be quite depressed.
But in Nai'an, industry and commerce seemed to be increasingly prosperous.
Especially in the central city of Naider, the city is still expanding rapidly, and the policies it has formulated cannot keep up with the speed of industrial immigration.
There are tall chimneys everywhere, blowing billowing black smoke into the sky day and night.
Although the port outside the city has been expanded several times, there are still long queues of transport ships loaded with various raw materials from all over the mainland, and it is extremely congested every day.
After a long journey, the sailors were almost going crazy on the ship. They were all eager to get ashore in order to compete for a spot on the ship. They kept yelling at each other and even raised their fists at each other.
Riots broke out at the port almost every day.
The port security team has accumulated rich experience in this. As soon as there is a fight, they will set up high-pressure water hoses and sweep away the bastards.
The huge water pressure can easily push the sailors into the sea, extinguishing the anxiety and anger in those people's hearts.
Moreover, in order to more effectively deter those sailors who like to fight and cause trouble and reduce the crime rate at the port, it is said that the security captain locked himself in the house for three days and three nights. Finally, he came up with a desperate plan to give birth to a son with no butthole.
, planning to replace the water in the water dragon with feces and urine.
At that time, if anyone dares to cause trouble again, he will use that thing to spray at them. The feeling... tsk tsk tsk, it's really not too good...
On the west side of Naidl City is the famous Naian Railway Station. It is also the largest train marshalling yard in the world.
There are twenty or thirty tracks laid here alone. The tracks are intertwined together like a huge spider web. Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy.
Steam locomotives are like giant steel beasts, shuttling back and forth on those railway tracks, extremely busy.
Black smoke was billowing from the front of the locomotive, making a rumbling sound. The whistle sounded one after another, and from time to time, when the locomotive entered the station, it released steam and spewed out a large amount of white steam.
Almost every moment, trains enter and leave the station.
They unloaded passengers and supplies, underwent a brief overhaul by technicians, and then loaded them with various war supplies. With a huge roar, they passed through the town and headed north to support Ruman and Fantino.
.
Nadel City has experienced rapid development and is now prosperous.
The price of land in the city has long been high, and the newly renovated wide streets are lined with newly built multi-story luxury residences on both sides.
Complete living facilities have been laid out here, so that residents here can enjoy running water, flush toilets, home telephones, and even bright lights.
However, because the steam engine used for power supply is not up to standard, the power supply line equipment is rudimentary, and various power demands in Naian are exploding geometrically, the power is not very stable.
Every time at eight o'clock in the evening, when the electricity consumption peaks, there are frequent power outages. This also makes everyone block the door, jump around and curse the newly established Feiying Electric Power Group.
The employees of Feiying Electric Power Group have no awareness of being a state-owned monopoly group. Whenever others scold them, they all hide in the room, shrink their heads, and pretend not to hear.
After all, Lei Erye collects money so harshly that one unit of electricity costs a gold coin. Even so, he is still planning to hold another hearing to say that the investment in infrastructure is too high and demand continued price increases.
He was as ruthless in collecting money as Zhou Papi, which made his own employees look down upon him.
Now that the chain is off, it is normal for people to scold you twice.
Everyone who lives here is a Naider who first got rich through factories and commercial transactions, and the streets are full of their brand-name luxury cars.
Among them were many carriages with eye-catching license plates such as six nines, six eights, or zero, five, four, and four. Sitting inside were some of the most prominent figures in Naider.
Although these people can't afford to offend Mr. Lei, there is still no problem in cleaning up the small employees like themselves.
Despite all the dissatisfactions, no matter what, more and more water pipes were laid, more and more sewer projects were started, and various power and telephone equipment were also erected.
Things that were originally only used by the royal family have gradually entered the homes of ordinary wealthy people. Even ordinary people have begun to use mirrors, glass... and other items that were originally luxury goods. To use the toilet and so on.
, and also know to use toilet paper instead of just picking up bricks or tiles, which can easily lead to hemorrhoids.
Everything in Nai'an looks prosperous.
However, the war still had some impact. Most of the entertainment departments in the city closed down. After the food control, although big hotels and the like still sold alcohol secretly, most taverns were closed, and horse racing and football leagues were also temporarily suspended.
As there are fewer and fewer customers, the Red Shoes, Moulin Rouge, Red Dream Factory and other places outside the city are facing a cruel winter.
In order to survive, they launched an increasingly fierce competition.
After a series of technological transformations, optimized combinations, bankruptcy mergers, separations and diversions, etc., the industrial structure has been further improved and promoted the overall progress of Nai'an's cultural and entertainment industry...
Many places have been deserted, and the madams and prostitutes have gone home to close their businesses. Only a few are left that are still in poor business.
The recreational activities of officials and people in the city suddenly decreased, and most of the entertainment left behind after work was newspapers.
Every morning, a group of people gather around the newsstand waiting for today's fresh newspapers. Buying a few copies can kill the day at work.
It has also become a place for citizens to chat temporarily, but at the moment everyone's topic is inseparable from the war.
"The enemies from the north are getting closer and closer to Ruman City. I wonder where the Grand Duke's army is now?"
"I heard it's not far from Ruman. I should be able to catch up."
"Fantino City has been surrounded by enemies for half a month. Are all the Holy See's troops eating shit? They can't get through now?"
"At the critical moment, it's not up to us Nai'an people."
"I wonder if the Governor can hold on."
"That's for sure~!"
"I see Xuan."
"That's nonsense, our governor is invincible."
"Hey, the army is not even one-fifth of the demon clan. How can we fight this battle?"
"You capitulationist."
"You are the one who is blind and arrogant."
"You're raped~!"
"You have ulterior motives~!"
"..."
The people arguing were divided into two groups, and the war of words soon turned into a heated argument, with shouts and shouts, as if whoever had the loudest voice would win.
A group of onlookers quickly gathered on the roadside, and they were also divided into two groups with different opinions, and they argued with each other.
Just when everyone was noisy, a little fat man suddenly appeared from behind the crowd. He was about ten years old, with a slightly tanned face, and a pair of big black and white eyes that were moving around. He smiled evilly before saying anything, and he could see
People cover their wallets unconsciously.
He looked left and right, with a sly smile on his face. No matter whether it was pro or con, he would always drink from behind during the argument.
Seeing that the quarrel among the first few people was getting more and more heated and exciting, the little fat man shouted loudly in the crowd, instigating: "What's the point of talking? We should give this kind of person a lesson, beat him, beat him.
~!"
The people around him also added to the chaos, shouting excitedly: "If he's a man, just give him a punch."
"He just deserves a beating, flatten him."
Suddenly a stone flew from there and hit the person with the loudest voice in the crowd.
"Asshole, you dare to make a sneak attack..."
Immediately, an unstructured street fight broke out.
A chubby white elephant pushed the crowd away arrogantly and stood at the front of the crowd, watching the two groups fighting with a huge grin on its face.
A sharp "beep" whistle sounded on the street, and several patrol policemen rushed over quickly.
The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed.
"Here comes the note."
"Run quickly, there's a note."
"Xiaobai, it flashed."
"The black-skinned dog is awesome, hurry up to Cangshan Mountain." (There seems to be something strange somewhere.)
"Asshole, don't run."
"Grandma, who stole my wallet~!"
"..."
Just when everyone was making a fuss, a large group of newsboys suddenly turned around the corner.
They waved newspapers back and forth in their hands, and the children shouted loudly: "Excuse me, Fantino is victorious, and the entire demon navy is annihilated."
The passers-by and the patrolman who were entangled were stunned at the same time. The patrolman still grabbed the collar of the fight and raised his head to look at the newsboy in surprise.
"Full support from the Elf Navy, editorial commentary from Nai'an Daily, friendship forged with blood~!"
"Well-known critic column, let's join hands and shoulder to shoulder to enter the new era together~!"
"..."
Pedestrians on the street cheered and immediately rushed towards the newsboys, surrounding them. They held silver coins in their hands and stretched out their arms to pass them forward. They shouted anxiously: "Give me one, there is no need to look for it."
He was impatient and simply grabbed the newspaper from the newsboy's hand, then took out a handful of coins and threw them at the newsboy.
In less than a minute, all the newspapers in the hands of the newsboy had been snatched away.
The crowd cheered and dispersed, and they stood on the street, grabbing the newspaper and looking down.
The poor newsboy was left sitting on the ground in disheveled clothes, with his bag turned upside down, and coins scattered on the ground beside him. There were even a few gold coins.
Because there were so few newspapers, the patrolman who was about to arrest someone and the perpetrator he had arrested had to put their heads together and stare at the newspapers with wide eyes.
They read the title of Big Victory above several times, then cheered, hugged each other and jumped up and down excitedly, shouting: "Victory~!"
"We won the battle, long live it."
"Long live the Governor of Lorraine~!"
"Long live Fantino~!"
"Thank you to the God of Light, thank you to Governor Lorraine~!"
"..."
The traffic on the whole street came to a standstill, and everyone stopped and shouted excitedly and joyfully.
In the excitement, some people even danced cheerfully in the street.
As soon as the strangers met, they shouted "Victory" and "We won" at the top of their lungs, eager to share this joy that everyone knew.
The hotel owners moved out the wine barrels one after another, smashed open the barrels that were about to become sour and could not be sold, and distributed them to people passing by for free.
Various stores also made a prompt decision. They doubled the prices of items in their own stores, and then hung them outside to celebrate the victory. A huge sign stating that all products in the store were half price...
In the distant train station, all the steam locomotives sounded their air whistles.
Thousands of ships outside the port followed suit by blowing conch horns.
The hooligans even took the opportunity to kiss the beautiful girl passing by, shouting "We have won", and then moved their hands up and down.
The entire city was immersed in a sea of joy, and the people happily vented the pressure the war had brought to them.
Chairman Leo, on the other hand, sighed and muttered: "Xiaobai, the boss won again, but who knew we also contributed our efforts."
Uncle Bai, who was getting fatter and fatter as he ate, nodded. He gave a low cry and seemed to be in low spirits. There was no mention of the wise, mighty, and unrestrained Uncle Bai, which made him very unhappy.
Uncle Xiaobai also contributed to the war.
"That's all," Chairman Leo waved his hand in disinterest and said, "We are destined to be the heroes behind the scenes. Everyone remembers the Commander-in-Chief, but no one remembers the Chief of General Staff."
There was something very tragic in his tone.
The chairman smacked his lips and said: "I am really too great, forget it, just think of it as contributing to the greatest liberation cause of all mankind.
Let's go and go to work. If I'm late, Nicole, that bastard, will deduct my salary again. Is it easy for me to be an office worker working from 8 to 6? Fortunately, I am a princeling, and my food and accommodation are paid for by the state. I don't have thirty
Five years of mortgage payment to pay off.”
Chairman Leo muttered to himself all the way, and he and Uncle Bai squeezed through the crowded crowd, then jumped on the waiting carriage and quickly headed to the newly built Flying Eagle Railway Group Building.
At the same time, in the Governor's Palace, Catherine and Adele were also receiving congratulations from Nai'an military and political officials.
They got the news about the Battle of Fantino before the newspaper was printed. The first reaction of these officials with a keen sense of smell was to go to the two boss ladies to congratulate them.
This will definitely be the time when the boss ladies are in the best mood. Be more attentive and leave a good impression in front of the boss ladies.
After this battle, Lord Lorraine will definitely be promoted, and it is absolutely right to follow Lord Lorraine closely.
The officials were naturally not as direct as the people. They were in the conference hall of the Governor's Palace, happily listening to Angus read the detailed battle report in a measured voice.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, one of their proprietresses was, to be precise, a quasi-proprietress. Princess Lulu, who was born in the Elf Kingdom, was also sitting on the side, with a happy smile on her beautiful face.
After Angus read the battle report, he bowed to Catherine and said with a smile: "The Governor united with the Elf Kingdom to defeat the enemy with thunderous force. It is really a blessing to the continent. I believe that under the wise leadership of the Empire, it will not take long.
, we will achieve total victory."
The people below started to flatter him excitedly and said, "A child from the demon race is vulnerable in front of adults."
"Under the leadership of the Governor, the counterattack against the demons is just around the corner."
"Kill Akadelin, capture the high priest alive, and liberate the Semitic people."
"Having the Governor of Lorraine here is really our luck in the Ruman Empire."
In front of Catherine, they were not afraid to flatter her even louder.
Although she only had a calm smile on her face, anyone familiar with the Big Boss Wife knew that Princess Catherine held her hands together reservedly, indicating that she was very excited at the moment.
Praising her boyfriend in front of her was more comfortable for Catherine than flattering her.
Adele also swept away her worries since the war started. She showed a relaxed smile, and from time to time she laughed coquettishly at the torrent of flattery from the officials.
Seeing that they seemed to be boasting endlessly. They were about to praise Lord Lorraine as the savior of mankind. Catherine waved her jade hand to stop them and said: "For the victory at Fantino, we must first thank the Elf Kingdom. It is the Elf
The kingdom's navy played a decisive role in determining victory or defeat at critical moments.
At this point, Princess Lulu has played an irreplaceable role in the union of our two countries."
Princess Lulu covered her small mouth and smiled, saying: "I didn't do anything. I just sent a few messages back and forth, and everything is still due to my cousin."
Officials are the ones who know their best. Catherine pushed Princess Lulu out, obviously to make a name for Princess Lulu.
It seems that Princess Lulu is about to walk from the boudoir of the Lorraine family to the front desk.
It is also normal. After this battle, the relationship between Ruman, Fantino and the Elf Kingdom will enter the honeymoon period of unity and friendship. Princess Lulu is the most suitable star candidate. Her role as a bridge between the two races is particularly important.
important.
Catherine finally said: "Today is a day off. We will hold a celebration party and fireworks show in the evening, and the whole city will celebrate together."
"Yes. I'll get ready right away." Angus agreed loudly and excitedly, "Today will be a day we will never forget."
Catherine, Adele, and Princess Lulu got up and left the conference room. After returning to the back house, they immediately fell on the chairs in a very shapeless manner, shouting ouch ouch.
They were also so excited and happy that they stayed up all night. They were all very tired at this moment, so they put on thick foundation to cover up the dark circles under their eyes.
Catherine and Adele untied their robes randomly, kicked off their shoes, and lay on the sofa complaining: "Listen to what they said, the demons are vulnerable, and a counterattack is just around the corner. It seems that Lorraine is in the Vatican."
As long as we stand guard, we will win, without any idea of our hard work."
Catherine pouted slightly and said dissatisfied: "Yes, no one knows how hard we have worked for this battle, and we can still tell them."
Adele raised her fingers and said: "Integrate the telegraph network, mobilize company agents lurking among the enemy, conspire with Maple Leaf Danlin, and coordinate battle plans with the Elf Navy...
Everything was a troublesome thing, but I never thought that we could actually accomplish it."
As she spoke, Adele proudly straightened her towering breasts and exposed her plump breasts. As long as she was not competing with Vera, Adele was still very confident in her figure.
Princess Lulu glanced secretly, then lowered her head to look at her chest. She curled her lips helplessly with a bitter expression on her face, and secretly hesitated in her heart: Should she add an extra bottle of papaya milk at night?
Catherine nodded, and was proud that the girls were able to take command from the center and complete this seemingly impossible task within ten days.
It is not modest to say that this is the war plan with the largest span, the highest complexity, and the most complete success to date.
Of course, there are also crucial contributions from venture capital companies.
Just exploring the real target of the undead tribe's war fortress and informing Maple Leaf Danlin to take off for cooperation is a risky thing.
Not to mention contacting the elven navy fleet all the way to have them appear on the battlefield on time.
The absence of any link will lead to catastrophic consequences.
Even hundreds of years later, people still feel incredible when talking about this battle.
"But in this case," Catherine's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly and she said worriedly, "my father will be under great pressure."
Lorraine's victory at Fantino will definitely affect the battle that is about to start near the city of Ruman under the command of Julian.
The pressure faced by Archduke Julius was actually greater than Lorraine.
There were nearly 400,000 people in the Semitic Northern Route Army, but in the hands of the Grand Duke, there were only less than 300,000.
Seven hundred thousand soldiers fought desperately on the battlefield, and it was destined to be an extremely difficult battle to completely eliminate the enemy.
The news of Fantino's victory spread along the telegraph lines throughout the major countries in the continent overnight, and was then conveyed to the people through newspapers within a day.
The people in Ruman City also decorated the city with lanterns and colorful decorations, spontaneously took to the streets to parade, and went to the palace to cheer for the victory of the Western Front.
While they were celebrating loudly, they also turned their attention to another more urgent war that was going on at the same time. The 400,000 Semitic army was divided along the mountain road, not far from the city of Ruman.
The people in the city seemed worried even when they were cheering.
In an inconspicuous place in the city, a copy of the winning ticket was spread out on the table, and several people sat around the table in silence.
Agent No. 49 carefully wiped the new revolver he had just received until there was no trace of a fingerprint on it. Then he assembled them with satisfaction, turned them around twice in his hand, and inserted them into the holster with ease.
.
The door to the room suddenly opened, revealing a ray of light and a fat figure. Everyone stood up and looked at him with concern.
"When the company calls, close the network."
