In the past hundred years, the empire has fought a full hundred years of war with the Osima Empire for colonial expansion on the southern side (the lower half of the T-shaped continent). With the addition of the Anglos, another forty wars have been fought.
Year.
It can be said that in the initial confrontation, in order to win, the empire aroused unprecedentedly high morale among factory owners, scholars, and ordinary workers in the city.
What? What is the price? The price is that the conscription rate in rural areas is increasing day by day. The rural areas lack organization and voice channels. Even if they bear great pain, it is controllable for the empire. Until the empire
Food production collapsed.
"Great cause of expansion" and "living space" are extremely inspiring words. The heroes who supported the empire continued to fight for decades despite the unfavorable situation of continuous depletion of national power.
However, any spiritual "encouragement" or "mobilization" must comply with the "feedback mechanism".
If you overdraft wantonly, you will inevitably suffer backlash.
When "spiritual mobilization" is used unscrupulously to seize resources and abuse them, then one day "spiritual violence" can easily cause the collapse of a huge institutional system.
The contest between the conservatives and the reformers within the empire has never been the most important at the military level. Spiritual offense and defense are the main battlefield. As long as the "uprising", the most violent cry against the empire, continues, it will harm the empire.
fatal enough
...Enma: The empire's symptoms are more serious than I previously expected. My judgment was wrong...
Enma's assessment of the previous actions of the Imperial City Faction was this: "The "work" you did before was simply a fool's errand. In some cities, your top leaders of the uprising have clearly prepared for an uprising, and there are also lower-level small groups below.
They are still desperately trying to win over new people, and when they are doing so, they are bragging about "we are about to do something big" based on gaining the other party's trust. This is simply a reminder for the agitators of the empire to come and suppress them."
Wei Keng, who advocates strict organization, is very upset by this low-level fighting. If they didn't have a common goal, Enma would not want to act with them at all.
When Enma went to and from various prisons to recruit people, and wiped the butts of these guys, he complained: So often everyone with enthusiasm participates in the operation, but the organization is not tight, which often leads to a person not paying attention to carrying out the organizational mission.
, after being caught, he could no longer bear the torture and the list of all participants was leaked. The entire operation failed and morale was greatly damaged.
If things go on like this for a long time, even if the revolutionary faction is passionate and passionate, it will be countless times stronger than the imperial conservative faction.
In the end, he will be bled to death by the sophisticated imperial faction. In the end, with no hope in sight, he can only stand on the path currently planned by the empire and continue on.
However, Enma was wrong. Enma mistakenly brought the general environment of the 21st century into this environment similar to that of the 19th century.
From the second half of the 20th century to the first half of the 21st century, it was a rare "period of rising overall wealth" in the history of mankind on earth. All superstructures had ample margin to adjust contradictions, stir up the flames of the lower layers, and use various means to
ways to extinguish it.
However, this was not the case from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. Due to the sharp conflicts between the upper and lower classes, the imperialists did not have the extra resources to appease the internal affairs, so they could only fight through external wars. If they won, they would have the resources to stabilize the internal affairs.
If they lose due to conflicts, all factions in the huge empire will become "loyalists".
After Enma came to Swan City and substantially participated in the offensive of this era, he found that the imperial army that suppressed his own side, except for the "Imperial Military Police" and the "sailors" transferred from other places, did not send large-scale imperial troops.
The troops of the heavily armed group.
Enma re-investigated the city and determined that the uprising of urban factions in big cities would benefit the interests of those "wait-and-see factions" in the empire to a certain extent.
There are at least six main battle legions around the empire, but none of these legions are allowed to enter large cities.
Wei Keng concluded: 'Once Imperial Zhuyi's army is allowed to enter a big city in the name of counterinsurgency, then the various industrial interests in the big city will inevitably be controlled by the army.'
It can be said that there is a group of people within the Sky Empire system who hope that the rebels will make a bigger fuss.
...The top people in the empire, and the urban rebels who are now working in secret, are a pair of strange rivals...
All this, along with Enma's involvement, gave the uprising a "mature" flavor.
After 3229, as the Peasants' Youth Association took control of the northern cities, the "Postman" once again became the elder statesman among the urban uprising factions.
After Enma's training of the urban rebels in Mirsu City, although there were still some problems in the organization of the urban reformers, confidentiality was increased in the core action steps.
For example, during the Swan City Uprising, a small number of people knew that the uprising was going to be carried out at the beginning. Although the empire knew through insiders that "the party members were planning an unusually large operation," it was unable to accurately determine the time and location of the uprising.
And there were clues to all this before.
After 3230, the number of uprisings in major cities throughout the empire increased significantly, and the popularity of the revolutionaries began to continue to rise.
The urban faction of the empire may still be lacking in other institutional systems, but they are getting better and better at keeping secrets. They have established their own "secrecy system", which is isolated from enemies and horses.
It’s not that Enma was directly involved in the Swan City Uprising this time, and didn’t even know about it.
Among the urban uprising faction, the actions they planned were very covert in the early stages. The imperial military police and spies did not notice the signs of the uprising at all. After the uprising failed, each operation ensured that a considerable number of people could be transferred. They have successfully "unplugged the empire"
This towering tree” ability.
Now in January of 2031, during the Swan City Uprising, it was also continuously adding ignition points to all the big cities in the empire, and was gradually approaching the critical point.
As the empire's repressive forces were unable to complete the purge of Swan City for a long time, it caused a chain reaction. In just half a month, three cities in the southern part of the empire began to start new uprisings.
In the palace of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the new flash points appearing on the map of mountains and rivers, and felt that the chips in his hand were rapidly decreasing.
…It looks like the rebels are fighting against the empire, but in fact it’s the empire’s supreme ruling power and the powerful factions in various places who are fighting over each other.…
The empire's legions had an absolute advantage in Swan City, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Swan City.
At least three heroes led armored troops to surround them, but as long as the rebels were not killed, the flames throughout the empire were linked.
On the 24th, the Swan City uprising took down the Anglo infiltrators, and the routine began to add fuel to the fire, criticizing the empire. This time it ignited a raging fire.
At this time, the generals in the empire were able to tell which ones were absolutely "loyal to the emperor".
Outside Swan City, armored vehicles are lined up here. Here are Sugmat's troops. The engine of the sky airship continues to rotate, just like a kite huffing in a windy weather.
As the elite fighting group of the empire, Sugmat was actually very dissatisfied with a series of policies of the empire in recent years. Therefore, when it came to entering the city for siege and suppression, he imposed a lot of conditions on the upper echelons of the empire, including transferring the names of the five major families in the accounts of the empire bank.
Property disclosure.
Reform the empire's finances.
Sugamat was actually a general who supported the conservative forces of the empire, and was also the most loyal force to the empire.
Many other generals were more radical and proposed a complete cabinet reshuffle.
But even so, the wealthy and wealthy royal family and nobles at the top of the entire empire still felt that the price charged for a general like Sugamat was too high.
Sugmat thought: At the beginning of the Swan City uprising, at the meeting behind the strict gate of the imperial cabinet, the grand dukes and royal relatives in gorgeous clothes thought it was just a small rebellion in the imperial city.
The rebels have been gradually compressed into several areas, and given time, they can be wiped out quickly.
Sugmat's behavior of halving their family property was really taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, the Grand Duke believed that he must not compromise with these troops.
On the third day of the Swan City uprising, the Duke ordered the military police and the imperial security forces to eliminate the "violent party" as soon as possible. He also dispatched supervisors.
And this supervisor is the third son of the Duke, the head of the imperial cabinet, Wallace. Similarly, when he learned that the Anglos entered Swan City to perform an exorcism ceremony, it was the guy holding the woman in the back who
The key faction on the phone asked the "Dragon Blood Military Police" to temporarily put aside their prejudices and cooperate with them.
Wallace, who indulged all his energy in women, believes that under his charm, the addition of external forces is additive. He has no idea that in the current crumbling building, any external force intervening will lead to "total collapse."
Enma, who used broadcasts in the city to inform the whole country, clearly discovered that in the etheric realm, the huge concept of the empire had collapsed.
…The perspective comes to the eleventh day of the Swan City Uprising.…
Outside this city, inside the Imperial Dragon Eagle Division, which was "forced" to stand still for half a month.
When Sugmat woke up, he saw that the atmosphere in his military camp was different. All the soldiers seemed to be discussing something. He looked carefully and noticed that the soldiers were holding radios and higher-level magic crystals.
Logger, what is being passed around.
He walked to the headquarters, and the subordinate officers saluted him, but he went straight to the adjutant and asked for information on the current battle situation in Swan City. He first took a look at the situation in Swan City.
In Wallace's words: The imperial counter-insurgency forces are approaching steadily, and the remnants of the bandits are entrenched in a few data points and resisting stubbornly. As long as they continue to exert their efforts, they will usher in complete victory.
Sugamat threw aside this "splendid article" to please the imperial cabinet with an expressionless face.
Sugmat has realized that this rebellion has been going on for too long and has accumulated a lot of variables.
Just when Sugmat began to think about "where to go," his lieutenants quietly took out a piece of intelligence that the rebels called "the empire and the Anglos colluded to treason."
Sugmat's eyes became sharp when he saw the captured Ansa people, but after hearing the interrogator's voice in the video, his whole body became "cold".
The top soldiers below are currently circulating the video of Anglo being captured and interrogated by the rebels, and are beginning to gloat over the fact that Anglo and the Imperial Rebels are fighting each other.
However, as the middle-level officials of the empire, the officers under Sugmat were keenly aware of the great political significance of this leaked video. When the credibility of the empire itself was insufficient, any piece of information could instigate those "knowledgeable people" in the empire.
"Our" emotional messages may be new "leads to the powder keg."
The senior generals leading the legion, such as Sugamat, clearly understood that the collusion between the "empire and the Anglo wizards" was probably a misunderstanding. It was Wallace, the bastard, who mishandled the situation and was thrown into the trash by the rebels.
But this cannot be explained, because the top level of the empire has always maintained an "information tent" for the middle and lower levels.
Sugamat cursed: The third young master of the Duke's family (Wallace) in the imperial cabinet failed to accomplish anything but failed.
But what shocked him even more was the unrecorded "interrogator" in the video.
But Sugmat was indeed sure that this "interrogator" was the "lord" in the north who controlled large rural areas of the empire.
Sugert: If he (Enma) joins, then the nature will change.
For the residents of the empire, this year's winter has been extremely long, and for those imperial dignitaries sitting in front of the stoves in their homes, the days are like being like little ants scurrying on the stove.
When the Swan City rebels announced that they had found evidence of imperial witchcraft, the imperial cabinet repeatedly "clarified" to the outside world that no other additional agreements had been reached with the Anglo. The appearance of the Anglo "tourists" was just an order from the front to the "Anti-Rebellion Department"
Had a wrong understanding.
The imperial generals had conflicts of interest with the cabinet at this time. It was impossible to accept these explanations.
From the understanding of generals like Sugamat, there is no reason for the imperial center to unite with the Anglo "witch men" to betray the country.
However, the small and medium-sized citizens who were obscured by the shady information believed that there was absolutely a serious reason for the Ansa people to come all the way to contact the cabinet. They believed that the entire cabinet group had betrayed the empire.
Therefore, the following wonderful version even appeared in the rumors among the small citizens in the empire.
Example: The empire is trying to use a huge "blood sacrifice" to maintain the empire's strong rule. This blood sacrifice originally required the sacrifice of all residents of Swan City.
After this version came out, residents of other cities in the empire had empathy. After all, today is the Empire's Swan City, and tomorrow it will be other cities. Cities in various places began to resist the empire's counterinsurgency.
...On the fourteenth day of the Swan City rebellion, the atmosphere in the empire was like the night before a storm...
Sugmat walked around the two-person office in the armored vehicle three times, and decided to make a phone call to the imperial cabinet to question him. Just when he was about to notify the airship to deploy the power tower, he blocked it in the other direction.
The general, General Hughes, called.
The first thing General Hughes said when he saw Sugamat was: "General Steel Gravel, do you know what's going on in the cabinet?"
Sugmat nodded heavily: "Yes, I want to make sure."
Hughes: "We have already confirmed it. Up to now, the cabinet has not told us a word of truth. They are determined to find out that there is no such thing."
Sugmat stood silently in front of the communication line, understanding that his colleague was beginning to show his ambition: "What should we do? Are we going to make trouble with the party members too?"
Hughes: "The current situation, wait and see."
Sugmat narrated without comment: "Party members, what should we do if there is a riot?"
Hughes: "To be honest, General, I have informants among the party members, and the party members are also divided into radicals and moderates. Now it's time to let these people speak for us."
…The greatest enemy of an empire is often within…
On January 25, the Party Revolution uprising in Swan City entered a critical and delicate moment. Due to the ugly political struggle within the empire, the Dragon Blood Military Police and the Marine Group, which were originally front-line suppressive forces, withdrew from Swan City. Seagate and others
A series of imperial frontline officers began to accept formal investigations for "misunderstanding of orders". Of course, all this was to protect the idiot Wallace.
In the frontline operations, their success was completely defeated, which made Seagate and other military generals feel cold and resentful that the empire was so cold and indifferent.
The Swan City Uprising has completely taken over the entire city.
Ludis, Enma, and Grave, who led the change, all discovered that the shackles of the empire on various fronts had been loosened. In the northeast, they even found a safe passage that could transport supplies to the city and evacuate the wounded.
The softening of external attitudes has greatly boosted the morale of the resistance in Swan City. Many reformers believe that efforts should be continued.
However, Enma believes that the prospect of continuing to take the initiative to attack militarily is not optimistic. The empire's many external legions still maintain strong forces. There is no advantage in leaving the bunker and engaging in head-on confrontation. It should strengthen its contacts with the outside and make defense preparations. In the spare time
Within the time, quickly sort out the city's internal affairs and put the system in Swan City into operation.
Enma particularly emphasized that after capturing large cities, the focus of work tasks should shift to internal affairs, stabilize urban production, and enhance the sustainable supply of uprising forces.
This time Ludis followed Wei Keng's suggestion. From the 25th to the 27th, the external organizational forces of the Revolutionary Army quietly transported a large amount of military equipment, and trained revolutionary teams from all over the empire advanced into Swan City.
The imperial military was dissatisfied with the cabinet and after loosening its shackles on Swan City a little, the reformists in the city got a precious respite.
On the 28th, all positions of the Revolutionary Army were tactically strengthened, firepower points were arranged on the commanding heights of the city, and transfer channels were set up in the tunnels to specifically defend against shelling.
On the high-altitude airship, Hughes looked at the layout of the city with a telescope and said to Sugmat: "It seems that there are talents in Swan City."
Sugmat also looked inside the city. At this time, he saw the smoke and dust floating from the chimneys in the center of the city, and murmured: "Some of the party members want to fight with us (the regular imperial army) with real guns and artillery.
.”
…Now the imperial forces are divided. The imperial military police cannot solve the problem. The imperial military thinks they are tough enough...
At this time, in the city, the Provisional Uprising Committee, which conducted public trials, dug out a large number of profiteers who had resold supplies during the war.
Enma is intensively preparing for the reconstruction of urban order.
A large number of Swan City people watched this scene. As the gentlemen of the city were read out one by one, these "gentlemen" wearing rag coats were pressed to the ground. The numb onlookers in the city had expressions on their faces.
With some excitement.
Enma played very wild tricks in Swan City! To a certain extent, it overdrawn the credibility of the rebel army under the city's capital system.
Enma: "To a certain extent, the development of rural and rural areas will form a competition between capital and credibility in the future and urban areas. If the rural and rural areas play a wild way and adopt violent confiscation and then engage in household distribution,
This 'lack of diagnosis and investigation' directly forces rural areas to resort to economic policies that are hard on their own, which is not conducive to capital accumulation in rural areas."
Enma is now giving priority to severely damaging the urban capitalist faction. This method is incomprehensible to the "new gods" of the Pantheon.
Because from the perspective of industrial output value, cities are the areas that can best create industrial output value. In the interstellar era, the concept of industrial planets was even maintained, but Wei Keng has now attacked cities. So is this still "industry"?
The answer is, Wei Keng completed it from the perspective of "industrial cooperation". Rural areas allocate light industry and agricultural and non-staple food processing industries, and cities maintain heavy industry. Both require capital, but cities need to control "capital".
To ensure the stability of industrial areas with hundreds of thousands of people, rural areas need capital to turn the original family cooperation into a modern production relationship with dozens or hundreds of people.
…"Industrial Industry" and "Industrial Industry" have different places to throw caution to the wind...
Enma established the Swan City Judgment Department, and based on the principle of frankness and leniency, he resisted the strict requirements, and three die-hards were shot.
The other forty-five big businessmen confessed that they were hoarding supplies under the instructions of the important figures in the imperial cabinet.
When Enma's trial department pushed them to the ground, and when they thought they were finished, the executioner behind them fired into the sky, scaring them out of their wits and even urinating. After untying their ropes, Enma announced
On behalf of the "New Deal", they were granted amnesty and allowed to behave well.
The party comrades who are so laissez-faire, murderous and superior do not understand.
Enma persuaded: "Revolution is not for fun. If we are trying for fun, the worst group of people in the empire will continue to throw out a large number of scapegoats to satisfy those who oppose them, and then accuse us of "violence"
"Saboteur", thereby diverting their conflicts."
…All Enma’s preparations are for the next battle…
Just as Sugmat had judged, Swan City wanted to fight with the regular imperial army.
When the Imperial Cabinet was "openly denounced" in the Swan City and stepped on it, the cabinet bosses were furious.
There is a saying that the most shameless people in public are "politicians and bitches". Once they are exposed in public, it will cost them their lives.
There have always been cases investigating the corruption of the Grand Duke of the Empire during the war, but in the end they were all dropped, so that many people involved in the case disappeared without a trace.
Now, with the "fall" of Swan City, a large shady curtain has been revealed.
When the revolutionaries held guns, they uncovered the Duke's dirty business of reselling supplies at the frontier and exposed it to the broad daylight. This made all the forces in the empire who had been waiting and watching suddenly think: "Hey, it's really true.
He is so violent that he is afraid of his life."
On the night of the 29th, the frontline troops of the empire suppressing the rebels had to attack the Swan City Revolutionary Party at the request of the cabinet.
However, after three days of repairs, the Revolutionary Party was already ready as a group of armored trains from the north entered the city.
…The nineteenth day of the Swan City Uprising…
Due to the urgency of the frontline situation, Seagate, who was originally under investigation in the Bureau of Investigation, was released and returned to the battlefield. However, after Seagate put on her military uniform and rushed to the front line, she looked at the mountains and militarized buildings of Swan City again, and her expression
The middle is tired.
These urban buildings that had been fortified by the rebels were originally battlefields that the Dragon Blood Military Police fought for every step of the way, but they were all given over to the rebels within a few days.
Even though the Dragon Blood Military Police are die-hard loyalists to the empire, they are all "tired."
Six hours later, the Dragon Blood Military Police rejoined the battle.
In an abandoned steel factory in the northeast of Swan City, the Dragon Blood Military Police tried to infiltrate and capture the train station in the area.
However, when they rushed into the area, they found a large number of rockets fired from the surrounding area. Oh, these were assembled from water pipes and chemical raw materials, and even contained liquefied gas tanks.
These sensitive "civilian industrial products" that Missour City under the control of the Peasants' Youth Congress assisted during the war have now become the main force and heavy firepower of the Swan City revolutionaries.
As the Dragon Blood Military Police easily bypassed the firepower point of the building and broke into the inner square, flames rose from the cloudburst in the dark night. Seagate's face, with bloodstains from shrapnel, was uncertain in the flash.
Her elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties due to the opponent's "digging" tactics.
This dragon-blood warrior suddenly heard the sound of machine gun fire from the side, and his expression changed drastically.
She realized that the revolutionaries now wanted to outflank her.
…Wei Keng now wants to capture these diehards of the empire…
At this time, three hundred meters away, Enma and Ludis, the leaders of Swan City, were standing here.
Ludis was the soul of the uprising, but now during the more than ten days of fighting between the rebels, Enma was the person in charge of tactics.
Enma rejected a large number of mindless offensives, strengthened the tactics of the rebel army, and improved the military organization system, achieving success again and again. This allowed the "uprising" to gather morale, and Enma took away a considerable part, which provided a good foundation for
Enma will become a hero in the future and provide a foundation.
Ludis is now controlling the combat cannon fodder composed of clockwork robots to cover the rebels, gradually surrounding the Dragon Blood Military Police. Wei Keng reminded: "On the opposite side, we have captured the most stubborn force."
Ludis looked at the frontline artillery fire field, nodded and said: "We succeeded."
Enma recorded: "It's still early, but everything is difficult at the beginning. We have a firm foothold."
