Chapter 717 Chapter 16.33 A pot of porridge, rat droppings, and a shit stirrer
On August 12, 3232, at 6:00 am, at dawn, the Feather Whale Port occupied by the Southern Rebel Army of the Sky Empire was shelled by the Thunder and Flash Alliance. This was the first attack by an external aggression group in this great uprising.
This is the first time to interfere in the situation within the Sky Empire.
Just three hours after the bombardment, the imperial faction in the capital of the Sky Empire was also signing a post-war agreement with the Anglo Alliance mission. In the white jade-patterned hall of the empire, the regent of the empire signed the "Mercenary Agreement" with 10 million gold coins.
Agreement" to participate in suppressing internal rebellions.
The tip of the golden pen signed the name "Arcane Concept" on the parchment. This contract was determined in the concept field and represented the Sky Empire granting certain "mercenary groups" the legality to enter the empire to conduct military operations.
The "Moss Port", the southern base camp of the Revolutionary Party in the Sky Empire, also met with a group of foreign businessmen who were said to be sympathetic to the Revolutionary Party. While the Revolutionary Party members were still preparing for the possibility of shelling in the southern port, the Anglo forces might attack from the southern front.
When considering the situation of joining forces with the imperial army to exterminate the revolutionaries, these businessmen who "sympathized with the revolutionaries" volunteered themselves and were willing to act as intermediaries and negotiate.
Therefore, at 4:03 pm on August 12, the leader of the Revolutionary faction, Grus, boarded the Anglo's 70,000-ton battleship, and met with the representatives of the Anglos under the huge gun barrel. The representative meaning of the Anglos
Literally, the revolutionaries were required to protect their "legitimate" interests. Such interests included the acquisition of large amounts of assets, materials, and agricultural products.
...a spider builds a web that uses multiple legs to move...
As a result, at 8 o'clock in the evening, in the Downing Pavilion, the overall situation of the Sky Empire at this time was placed on the desk of the Anglo Prime Minister.
How comprehensive is it? At this time, the conservatives in the Sky Empire don't know the trump cards of the Revolutionaries, and the Anglos know it. The Revolutionaries in the Empire don't know the background of the conservatives, and the Anglos also know it.
It seems that at this time, the success or failure of the Sky Empire's revolution lies entirely in the swing of Prime Minister John's fingertips.
John rubbed the bald yellow hair on his head and flicked the planetarium on his desk. He was a little intoxicated by the power to decide the fate of such a huge empire two thousand kilometers away.
Of course, he seemed to feel that he was too dissolute, so he calmed down, picked up the "cube" (scientific name: Tempering Victory) on the table, and performed a prayer ceremony. The cold metal made him feel
The mood was forced to calm down.
Anglo politicians pray, which is different from the fanaticism of believers in ancient times. They feel that "faith is useful to them". As politicians, they need to use "metallic texture" to solidify their judgments. This is not so much belief in God, but
, let yourself have the "God-given reason" when making decisions.
Narrator: In this way, when those in power surrender their reason to prayer, God is actually the driving force behind everything in this continent.
Prime Minister John re-examined the situation in the Sky Empire: After careful calculation, he made a decision: "It's okay for the Sky Empire to reform the old ways. Only the party that is in line with Anglo interests has the same values as the Anglo interventionist forces."
…Everything is bustling for profit, and one country has only utilitarianism towards another country’s “chaos”.…
On August 18th, the Imperial Legion in Swan City was conducting a large-scale purge. This purge was half a year late. This half-year period gave the remaining residents of Swan City the illusion that "everything has passed."
But in fact, the imperial army's governing officials were just afraid of another collective resistance when they first entered the city. After half a year, they gathered the scoundrels in the city and successfully occupied the key departments of the city.
As "Enma" said during the retreat, the empire began a large-scale investigation of suspicious persons. Groups of families who stayed behind were intruded by "imperial temporary military police" with a total amount of money written.
Those who resisted even a little were tied up on the streets and paraded in public. These perpetrators were simply "dogs" temporarily summoned by the Imperial Sheriff to control the place.
Its management style is like "gangster, green skin". This group of people has no "public heart". The hob meat that crawled out from the vegetable leaves and abuse is naturally "ruthless". It must be "ruthless" than others.
, the logic is "If you dare to do something that others dare not do, you will be a ruthless person."
As a result, in just a few weeks, due to the vicious competition of these "cruel officials", thousands of heads were cut off and hung in the city, becoming markers for these vicious dogs in official clothes to divide their territory.
Swan City is particularly deserted this year, with mosquitoes and flies dancing in the blood.
Seagate, wearing a cylindrical hat, walked on the streets of Swan City after the liberation. She looked at the resentful city with a cold expression. At the same time, behind her, someone wearing a skewed hat was carrying a wine bottle.
The Imperial Sheriff who was holding a chopping stick saw her. He looked at the woman as if he had discovered a treasure. He immediately picked up the stick and said, "Come on, that suspected rebel, come back with me to investigate."
However, before his hand could move, it fell to the ground with a clatter. When the blood spattered out, the woman in front of him disappeared like a ghost. Coming to the back, Seagate faced the two people who were about to die.
Said: "You guessed it, I am indeed a traitor to the party."
The two villains immediately begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, we will not arrest the Revolutionaries." Then before they could continue shouting, blood-red thorns emerged from their chests, and Seagate faced the two rotten men who were twitching and spitting blood:
"I forgot to tell you that I used to be the captain of the Imperial Military Police. But no matter what my identity is, scum like you must die."
A few minutes later, Seagate, who had left Swan City, looked back at the place where she had fought, and took out the Imperial Military Police badge in her hand. Once upon a time, she would bow her head and kiss the badge softly before every dangerous mission, but now she
I gently placed the badge on the main road of Swan City, and I no longer owe you anything.
Half an hour after she left in a hurry, an imperial military vehicle mercilessly crushed this badge of glory that the empire had promised.
…The area governed by scum is full of filth. When comrades with ideals work, the sky above their heads is blue.…
On August 21st, in the new industrial city of Bingxi in the north, Enma, representatives of the Agricultural Youth Association, and the 123 "elite-level" captains currently selected,
The current revolutionary situation has entered a stalemate stage. Judging from the intersection of red and blue arrows on the map, the Peasants' Youth Congress is now the largest "radical faction" in the empire.
At the opening of the meeting, Enma said: "We are now the fattest. I think the empire is now at the top and has begun to put us in its "most pressing issues" sequence column."
The Agricultural Youth Association area is getting stronger and stronger now, but it is not fat.
At this time, 75% of the agricultural area of the empire was under control. The only grain-producing area that the empire still has firm control over is the farmland near the imperial capital basin. However, there, the Agricultural Youth Association also organized cadres to conduct business activities.
.
Among the millions of Peasant Guards in the whole place, the old firearms that jammed after firing two shots have now been replaced with brand-new firearms. The concept of forging in the gun chamber has generally reached the third ring. This indicator can increase the speed of the chamber.
Reaching 800 meters per second. Recently, these militia groups are still conducting howitzer firing training.
On the other hand, in other areas of the empire, the large number of soldiers from big cities are not as well trained as the rural militias. After entering the countryside to exterminate the battle, they often surrender after being surrounded. After surrendering, they hand over their guns for bowls, and then line up to change.
Sesame pancakes sandwiched with fried eggs. After thinking about it, it quickly transformed into agriculture and youth.
Based on the current intelligence, the decision-makers of the Peasants' Youth Association show that the imperial aristocracy and bureaucracy, whether they are the conservatives with vested interests or the opportunists who have usurped the leadership of the revolution, are rotten to the core. The God of Steam in the upper echelons of the empire
Our faith has been riddled with holes by the rampant "goldism".
Information provided by Bai Linglu: As the God of Steam, he may have abandoned this empire in this world. Of course, as the God of Steam who plays chess on countless planes, losing the chess game here may not be a big deal, and Wanlun Continent,
The God of Steam may not really lose.
Because at least in the process of the growth of the Agricultural Youth League, there is obviously a "flicker" in the related steam concept.
The God of Steam may have placed a chess piece behind your back. Of course, he is not helping you, but taking the opportunity to play games with other gods.
...Every mortal individual of Wei Keng is not arrogant enough to take advantage of the gods' internal conflicts, but Wei Keng has not done anything "unworthy" towards other mortal forces...
The current empire has very limited understanding of the Iron Star forces.
Except for the heavy mecha units led by the hero units, the military situation is unknown. This leads to the fact that these imperial generals are not aware of the industrial development of the Northern Iron Star. These imperial troops are obviously insufficiently prepared for the upcoming war.
In the eyes of the empire's top brass, the cannon fodder at the bottom is only worthy of charging with a gun.
Those imperial officers: As long as the cannon fodder uses more energy, they can still hit people, and the legions can still resist damage on the battlefield if they use extra means to boost morale.
The regents of the empire and the pipe-smoking leaders of the Guangfu District never had "little chores at the grassroots level" on their desks.
These small chores include: clothing, food, and water purification systems that are really related to the physical health of soldiers.
The empire is now not in the most chaotic state, only more chaotic. Military supplies are being resold by local forces. At least one-third of the black bread in the warehouse is filled with sawdust. Not to mention canned meat.
Now the Peasants' Youth Association has equipped various grassroots peasants and soldiers with "lightweight armored vehicles."
Oh, the "lightweight" here, the total tonnage is also about "forty tons", the crew of three people can load, the 80mm caliber assault gun is the main weapon, and there is a square layer around the round head.
Grid packaging. It is powered by a thermal turbine. (Nuclear energy in this world can be quite convenient with "neutron tunneling")
Of course, more importantly, the supply of infantry has been improved.
These lightweight tanks are useless against the world's mainstream super-heavy tanks, but! This kind of comprehensive mobility brings a qualitative improvement to the efficiency of the infantry's combat functions.
According to the current "mushroom" theory of the Peasants and Youth League, the auxiliary forces of peasants and soldiers do not need to defeat those 300-ton or 400-ton heavy armored units. They only need to be able to outrun them. Those heavy armored units must be eliminated one by one.
Bandits are mostly unrealistic.
[Enma: With their land cruiser’s assault speed of 30 kilometers and economic cruising speed of 15 kilometers, they want to chase us? With the number of units in the legion not exceeding twenty, or even less than twelve, do they want to occupy the vast countryside?
Rural land?]
This lightweight fuel tank of the Peasant Youth Association is specially designed to deal with the imperial infantry that is following behind.
...After the transfer of Swan City, Iron Star seemed to have stopped the battle of the big city, but the war has been maintained...
Four months later, Swan City Iron Star was evacuated, and in the anti-expropriation war, a counter-siege mode was launched against all northern imperial cities.
After these assisting infantry regiments learn that the heroic units have led heavy armor to sweep a certain area, they will be dropped from the imperial railway personnel carriers, ride on simple steam trucks, or be lucky enough to find agricultural locomotives, ready to rush to the countryside to carry out occupation.
And these poor imperial defense infantrymen will encounter these Peasant Youth Association light armored tanks at this time.
The 150mm steam vehicle heavy artillery carried by these imperial troops were often pierced by such agricultural "mechanized infantry" before they were deployed.
Oh, some imperial infantry captains still have combat motorcycles. The mechanical armor on their bodies is attached with advanced forged runes, which can withstand dozens of machine gun bullets, and the elite ejection "cavalry rifles" in their ancestral hands are
"It has an armor-piercing rune, and it also uses the force field energy on the gun to pierce the steel armor of the tank (the force field energy of this rune gun will change the bond energy of the steel through the concept, becoming the same as tofu)
However, the light armored tank unit of the Peasants' Youth Association usually attacks together with five vehicles, and in anticipation of encountering an attack by a small number of motorcycle riders, in the encounter tactics, a shotgun barrel will be prepared in advance.
In this era, it is true that machine guns may not necessarily be able to penetrate "very sophisticated" individual armor, but when faced with a "chaotic attack" by shotgun pellets within a hundred meters, it is not enough.
In this era, Imperial sergeants were still resistant to small-caliber weapons, so they still maintained a deterrent effect in urban street fighting.
But when you encounter this kind of tracked vehicle carrying a gun and traveling at 60 kilometers per hour on the unavoidable plain, you will give a conceptual explanation to the word "tank".
The light tanks that are often used part-time to plow land and open up wasteland are the "shovel" and "dung fork" of contemporary rural areas, and are specially used to deal with the cruel urban officials who come to "tax" in the big city in the sky.
… Enma believes that our core advantage is “organizational power” and “execution power”…
When the empire was launching a counterattack in Swan City, Iron Star moved into small and medium-sized cities one after another and quickly integrated these cities and rural areas into the supply chain.
The city leaders in the empire's big cities were serious about it, and it took a week to complete the grain collection plan.
A city can dispatch a "food collection team" of 1,000 people at most once a month.
Through the intelligence network of department stores in the city, the Peasant Youth Association learned that these noble men were sending troops, and would immediately pass it on to the cadre groups in the countryside, and then quickly move the population to hide food and mobilize the surrounding peasant and soldier troops.
Therefore, after the imperial tax collection troops left the city, the peasants and soldiers often arrived first and used light armored troops and rural transport teams to ambush them all the way and finally encircle and destroy them.
From March to April this year, local governments coordinated on a large scale and dexterously killed 150,000 Rural Association troops temporarily recruited by the empire.
Since these rural association troops are not registered in the empire and are privately recruited from the cities below, the empire itself does not know how many people it has lost in the countryside.
Although the Agricultural Youth Association knew the results of the battle, it did not record it as a formal battle. It only left the data in the "transformation education" work record.
After these Imperial Allied troops were captured, the Peasants' Youth Association first gave them a bowl of broth, and then conducted twenty days of labor education for the captives.
Finally, after these officers from the city reached the redemption period, ordinary families could not afford the ransom, and when they were anxious after being separated from their families for a long time, Iron Star would also grant amnesty to them after being sentenced to two months of labor and after a certain holiday.
As for whether this batch of imperial defense troops who ran back can finally enjoy a reunion? It can only be said that the world is not that beautiful.
Except for some well-connected people, the angry city nobles will severely punish these failed defense forces and send them to the mining areas for consumption. They will display the so-called "harsh measures to deter rebellion."
...After the Battle of Swan City, Enma also began to accurately influence the hearts of the empire...
In four months, Tie Xing's team could be said to have reached the vicinity of Swan City again. They attacked many smaller strategic points such as "Truffle City" and "Mengxin City".
This time the Iron Star side gathered 240,000 troops. The towns controlled by the base area were intertwined with enemy control points.
The imperial military finally understood what "setting fire into the forest" meant.
The transportation line between Swan City and the Imperial Capital was accessible to the Imperial Army in the morning, but in the afternoon and evening, the road was taken over by the Iron Star Base. Hot ball steam tractors dragged supplies and drove towards the rebel army's junction point.
In July, General Hunter (a seventh-level hero) sent by the imperial capital brought seven knight chariots and five "Dragon Wing" airships to try to forcefully open the communication line. However, after searching for most of the day, all except blowing up
Some villages built surface buildings, but the main force of the Iron Star Legion was never found.
The "Storm Hammer" combat team (more than 300 people) carried on the Henry Land Cruiser, as well as the 2,500 cannon fodder in trucks, were attacked by stalking rockets every night. This kind of mental harassment,
The morale of this elite force in the Imperial City has been severely damaged.
Although to this day, the spokesperson of the Imperial Army still declares on behalf of General Henry that he and the rebels are at odds with each other, but "the force of action is honest."
General Henry's troops no longer move around.
In the words of a soldier under General Hunter: "His grandma went out to suppress bandits. He ran all morning and then all afternoon. He was awakened by rockets in the middle of the night. He couldn't sleep. He didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He had to eat and drink every day.
Worm bacon, and brown bread.”
The first legions of these proud empires came eagerly to kill people, but in the end they came to "experience marching under the scorching summer heat". When the reality was not ideal, their strength was exhausted.
There are many educated heroes of the empire who recorded in their diaries the combat experience of "feeling the irony of their own lives".
However, Iron Star has the goal of annihilating the main army of the empire.
Enma looked at the map of the Sky Empire hanging on the wall and whispered: "In this pot of porridge, there will be rat droppings and shit stirrers."
