In the year 3233 of the Fire Emblem Calendar, there was a counter-tide against the Iron Star in the Sky Empire. If Enma had not quickly eliminated the foreign enemies in the north, the internal enemies who were eyeing the Iron Star with eagerness would have jumped out to bite the Iron Star together with the outside world.
At this time, not only the conservative faction within the empire wanted to bite the Iron Star, but the cities occupied by the southern reformists had also reached their limit. These former revolutionary comrades were now using the so-called "conciliationism" to negotiate with the empire in parliament.
The conservatives shook hands together and then reached an economic bill on the so-called "new acquisition" of rural and rural areas.
This bill forcibly establishes the "new currency" as legal tender. On the contrary, it means that the farm and labor bills within Iron Star are illegal. This new legal currency does not have any collateral and is destined to become a gold dollar certificate.
The postman sharply pointed out in the newspaper: Big city capital groups no longer distinguish between "progress" and "movement." They have all completed the "progress" advertised on the surface and the "movement" in reality.
In the Sky Duma Federation, in various big cities, food collection troops have been assembled with money, and they are always needed. If they don't need to go out, it is not good to stay in the city.
And when the food collection teams from these cities were counterattacking in the south, Iron Star was always one step ahead of them.
On February 12, Tie Xing held an "Agricultural Economic Conference" in the southern rural areas.
At this time, Iron Star's cadre organization in the entire southern part of the empire totaled 4.5 million people.
The most basic structure of this organization in the countryside is the "Statistics Office". Basically every small town has such an institution. The rural cadres there may lack education, but they are definitely capable of literary and military skills. Literary people can count the population with straws and provide education.
Wu Neng responded to the call, got on a tractor, carried a gun, and carried a mortar to defend the revolutionary fruits.
You must know that when they blocked the Anglo regiments in the north, these militiamen frequently fought with dozens of regiments and tens of thousands of people in one column.
This is the first time in the entire Wanlun Continent in thousands of years that the organization level of rural areas has exceeded that of urban areas.
Wei Keng: Cities are more concentrated than rural areas and have natural organizational advantages. However, precisely because cities are too concentrated, they are more difficult to recover after ideological corruption than rural areas. From an ecological perspective, the more complex and huge the system,
Forests, for example, are more stable when resisting risks, but are difficult to recover after damage.
On March 1st, the grain collection team of Bohang City, the largest city in the south, was destroyed. More than 5,000 grain collection personnel were all put on trial. Their leader was shot in public trial, and the remaining personnel were sentenced to prison terms ranging from three months to five years.
Reform through labor.
On March 4th, the "so-called Farmers' Union Committee" authorized by the gentlemen of the Biel City Council went from being very popular to being shouted at by everyone. It was led by a mutual aid association led by landlords who had fled to the city, and they gathered and rallied to collect grain from the city.
The entire army was wiped out in three months of action. Six thousand people were arrested.
On March 5, in Buffet City, the reformists organized an "agricultural purchase group" and all the grain collection teams were destroyed. Four thousand people were captured, and a few organizers fled back to the city.
…
On April 1st, Orr, as the commander of the third column, is no longer a company-level commander. Instead, he is one of the second batch of newly born heroic unit members of Iron Star.
He was assigned to a land frigate-level vehicle with a tonnage of 320 tons and eight rubber wheel maneuvers. In addition to a "projector" for loading armored artillery shells, its main firepower was the artillery deployment system of the rear propeller helicopter platform. Because of his
I loved artillery, so I enrolled in a related major and studied mechanics in this area.
He obtained the right to lead troops, and the land frigate he was on was equipped with three helicopters. The mission of these three helicopters was to deploy 200-millimeter-caliber propeller missile rocket launchers.
After the helicopter took off from the "Big Eight Wheel" platform in Orr, it quickly acquired the azimuth information of the surrounding ten kilometers.
Then this "air turret" will fly to certain areas suitable for artillery placement, and the unmanned helicopter will deploy the mechanical intelligent square turret of the rocket launcher hanging below (this turret can automatically rotate and adjust its angle).
The rocket launcher fires out shells. The first stage is propelled by the tail rocket and accelerates for ten seconds.
After flying high enough into the sky, the fairing opens and the propeller is deployed. At the same time, air is poured into the inlet, igniting the gas engine and pushing the propeller to rotate.
Orr's skill is to activate the "space teleportation" ability inherited from Enma after firing the artillery, launch himself out of the rocket base of the extended-range warhead, and recover it into the "recycling bin" inside his land frigate.
In the metal cockpit of the land frigate, the "recovered rocket motor" will be cooled and reassembled into new shells. After the helicopter returns, the loading will continue.
...The tactic of hanging artillery from drones is the method used by mountain artillerymen in the main world in the second half of the 21st century...
Orr's helicopter can deploy fifteen launch tubes, each firing eight 200mm rocket launchers, to multiple positions within a five-kilometer range within an hour.
It takes Orr twenty minutes to recall these launch tubes, and the automatic reloading system in the vehicle body is reloaded in half an hour. This is his skill, "Steel Hail".
So strictly speaking, Orr can fire a regiment-level artillery salvo within two hours. (An artillery regiment only has forty or fifty guns.) Orr's vehicle has enough ammunition to release six rounds of "
Hail of Steel”.
This skill of his is obviously related to spatial twisting.
This is the influence of the bloodline of 'Enma'. Of course, Wei Keng also gained a lot of experience in the process of penetrating the Western Front.
…For Orr, his uncle is now a big deal. …
During this battle when he went south to deal with the counterattack of the southern asset areas against the rural and rural areas, the hail of steel that he dropped hit each other from the grain collection team to the train stations in one big city, which was like a hailstorm.
It's just that this kind of "bullying newbies" and interfering with the urban faction's combat operations to collect resources is very attractive to hatred.
No, he has received warnings from some veterans of the "Revolutionary" uprising in the big city groups in the south, ordering him not to attack the acquisition team again, otherwise the "Duma Government" will send troops to annihilate him.
.
As for him, when he saw these warnings, he didn't laugh out loud, but his lips widened.
Orr looked at the dimly lit Braun City in the distance and whispered: "If you can suppress me, will you still send me a warning letter?"
Orr opened the latest Nongqing newspaper, and it was clear that the postman had drafted a new title: "Peace? Or is it still sucking blood under the guise of peace!"
…When “resistance” becomes a matter of course, the fire has already been ignited...
That night, Orr came to a market area controlled by the Peasants' Youth Association and met a person.
This is a buyer sent by the imperial royal family. For this lady named "Seagate" who is older than himself, Orr can't help but be attracted by her temperament, but for now he suppresses his thoughts.
According to the records of the meeting between the Disciplinary Committee and other representatives of the Peasants and Youth Association, Orr told the messenger: "Your Excellency, you can go back. Regarding the supplies you want, I can promise to prepare a batch for you, but regarding the customs in Braun City
You have to tell us the tax settlement date."
Seagate: "General, I am happy to cooperate with you. However, your dangerous stance makes me feel that the transaction with you may not be long-term."
Orr: ‘That’s none of your business. Maybe the next delivery location to you is directly in the city.’ (Iron Star already has plans to take over some big cities in the south.)
…For Seagate, once upon a time, they did not bother to think about the thoughts of these opponents with clay feet, but now they have to face who is right and who is wrong.…
The greatest success of the Agricultural Youth League in carrying out reforms is that a wave of young people who have been in the city and soldiers who have experienced frontier battles return to the countryside with knowledge and organizations, helping the entire rural and rural areas understand the "regional accumulation"
The concept of "capital".
People in agricultural areas suddenly discovered that as country people in the past, they really suffered a big loss. Why did they just use money printed by others and city people, agricultural products, agricultural and sideline products in their own warehouses, and corresponding food stamps?
, Gas stamps, candy stamps, non-staple food stamps, discount coupons for upcoming commodities, aren’t they also money?
So why do we need to exchange a lot of agricultural products for a small amount of imperial banknotes, and the imperial banknotes can only be exchanged for a small amount of fertilizers, tools, and pesticides?
Smart farmers still seem to understand what the imperial economists said in the past.
But now there is no need to "understand" the principles of the urban faction. Now that food stamps are exchanged for more industrial products such as fertilizers, fuel, machinery parts, etc., they understand what interests they want to defend.
[Wei Keng: Farmers are not stupid. 2,000 years ago in ancient times, in China, carrying an iron pot and coat on the plateau could be exchanged for an iron pot and a coat for a yak. After 2008, with the opening of the world's highest altitude railway
Later, if you ask a herdsman to change it like this again, they will give you a blank look.]
Now these imperial grain collection teams want to exchange so-called imperial banknotes for agricultural products again.
In the Nongxiang District, both ordinary working farmers and large growers are united around the Tiexing Nongxiang Organization.
At this time, people from the imperial city faction still looked at the rural and rural areas with a superior gaze. They stubbornly believed that their purchase was reasonable!
Economists one after another forcefully believe that the rural areas have suffered brainwashing, and it must be Tie Xing who is deceiving the ignorant villagers and violating the national policy of Duma governance.
..."People who are not living well think that the world is wrong." This point is more applicable to people who claim to have drunk ink...
In April, prices in major cities in the empire further skyrocketed, and the Duma government was miserable in the face of external demands for compensation and raw materials, as well as the suspension of production in most of the factories in the areas under actual control.
These ideal reformists still did not realize their mistakes. When they read about the resistance in rural areas, the well-dressed people in these salons expressed their feelings about the situation that "the empire has spent money to purchase supplies, but was resisted by the rebellious people in rural areas."
It’s incredible.” This is just like “these noble people in the city are willing to trade equally with gold coins, but they are unreasonably slapped and rejected by the country people.”
You think too highly of yourself and take your "speciality" as a matter of course and should be taken care of by the world, so it is easy to feel that your "dignity" has been offended.
All high-end newspapers in the empire were angry at the despicable role Iron Star played in such an incident.
Of course, city newspapers can only be angry at the moment, but they are unable to put their anger into action.
…Those who call themselves “intellectuals” are most reluctant to admit their mistakes and are always waiting for others to admit their mistakes.…
Because in March, Iron Star and the Thunder and Flash Alliance clashed again. In the position surrounding "Kaidi" City, Iron Star was determined not to give in. The Thunder and Flash Alliance formed a legion of sixty land cruisers and once again
Launched an attack, but at the cost of losing 12 land units, he was furious on the spot.
On March 25, Iron Star's General Bess led six assault artillery units to the gates of Wind Whispering City and responded to the Thunder and Flash Alliance with artillery fire. If the war continued, it would be a revolution that would spread across the entire continent.
The Iron Star Farmers' Guild has now been implemented in the south of Osimar.
The Bess artillery directly destroyed eight ancient buildings that were more than 300 years old in Fengyu City. The damage was not great, but it caused the Fengyu Alliance to activate the wartime system. Everyone wore gas masks and hid in the air-raid shelter.
When the main force of Osima had to return for reinforcements, Bess had already escaped intact (he did not use Wei Keng to teleport collectively, he left directly from the northern front).
From now on, Iron Star has two lines that can penetrate to the north of Osimar. And Kaidi City is the reason why it can stand firm and carry out a protracted war after crossing to the north of Osimar. In other words, as long as Kaidi City is in the hands of Iron Star
, the huge static defense system deployed by the entire Thunder and Flash Alliance on the Eastern Front will be useless if large-scale adjustments are not made.
But now the Kingdom of Osimar has no funds to rebuild its defense line. To be precise, the current royal power group of Osimar has no funds.
The funds are currently controlled by large business groups. To reset the static defense system, it is necessary to rebuild at least 500 kilometers of permanent fortress group fortifications. Such consumption is equivalent to twice the compensation for the defeat of the Sky Empire!
Osima's current upper-level group has not won the battle. Instead, it has to force its domestic commercial capital groups to raise the money. This is basically impossible. Therefore, it can only mobilize its existing troops to confront Iron Star again, hoping to use diplomatic pressure.
Force Iron Star to give in.
…Due to Enma’s strong military capabilities, Iron Star is now speaking out with more and more “iron-blooded strong voices”…
As for Anglian, after re-piercing the Yuzui Port, they also stopped interfering with the northern line of the Sky Empire, and began to interfere with the southern line of the Sky Empire from the southern line, which is now the sea area on the right corner of the "T" continent. Change.
In other words, it means stepping up time to support the southern reformists in their internal struggle with Iron Star. Of course, this support also means selling surplus military supplies from the last war and providing military personnel to help the reformists train the army.
But the problem now is that the Sky Duma government's current base, many cities in the south have lost the ability to collect supplies from the controlled areas. Now there is a shortage of everything, food, fuel, steel... On the contrary, weapons are the most in short supply.
Because there is no army at all.
As for food, fuel, and steel, Anglo is now out of stock. This disagreement led Anglo to face the begging Sky Duma group reformists and say in an extremely insulting tone: "After all, you are a new cabinet that has actually gained power.
, or a busking show with an office sign?"
...For the gods, they want to connect Wei Keng's individual with some noble classes, but Wei Keng always has some soil...
In Braun City, Princess Sherry is now wearing slightly plain clothes (also expensive satin) while meeting Seagate.
For Princess Snow, the current slight decline of the royal family has not completely reduced her life to an uncomfortable level. In fact, it has actually reduced her many constraints of royal etiquette.
After the team originally heading for Anglian was intercepted by Ludis, the princess was placed under house arrest by the reformists. Seagate became an important channel for Sherry to understand the outside world.
In various literary works, fallen princesses often have some "commoner" friends.
After listening to Seagate's description of the current situation in the Empire's countryside, Sherry seemed to be very emotional: "Iron Star's group of people are fighting for the injustice of rural farmers, right?"
Seagate paused: "To a certain extent, this is true, but this is not an empire issue. Nowadays, cities generally do not understand the countryside. The funds and taxes that the empire has always used to purchase agricultural areas have been used by
The merchants made heavy deductions, and only one-third was delivered to rural areas. With such a small amount of money, it is obviously impossible for rural areas to complete the purchase of necessities such as fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in a reduction in production in agricultural areas. The expropriation of grain by cities has further reduced the supply of food.
Rural areas are poor.”
What Seagate said: This was exploitation by greedy businessmen, which led to great uprisings in rural areas.
But Sherry, who is at the top of the empire, knows that the royal family and business are inextricably linked. Several princes in the empire accumulated assets rapidly during the war, which is obviously not clean.
Sherry raised her hand to frame a circle and placed it in front of her eyes. Through this frame, she looked at the city outside the window: "So far, no one in the empire has seen General Enma."
Regarding "Enma", the entire empire is now curious.
Sherris knew from the communication between her subordinates and Ludis' subordinates: Ludis was the one who carried out the robbery, but Enma was the mastermind behind it. Moreover, when she fell, Enma should still be nearby, confirming that she
After being captured, he immediately returned to the north.
Her Highness the Princess still had some confidence in herself, but when she became a prisoner, the man was not even interested in looking at her "trophy", which still made Her Royal Highness feel a little dissatisfied.
In recent years, Enma's series of achievements have also made the princess feel that her Ludis is very anxious.
Narrator: If a young general from the empire could break through the Thunder and Lightning Alliance's defenses three years ago, then Her Royal Highness's marriage would have been confirmed.
Seagate hesitated for a moment and finally told Princess Sherry: "Your Highness, Enma is a very, very young man, even younger than Ludis. If I am not wrong, he is no more than three years old."
Ten years old."
The princess looked at her: "Have you seen him?"
Seagate: "During the Great Rebellion of Swan City (called the Great Uprising by Iron Star), I led the Dragon Blood Military Police to attack the core area of the rebels there. However, at that time, I was plotted by the encirclement designed by him, so I was captured.
.”
Xue Lisi looked at her and said with a smile: "You were really wronged for losing to the hero who was about to become famous. By the way, did you meet him after you were captured? He was very young. Well, how do you feel about him?
