Looking at the men and women standing with their heads bowed outside the car window, Roland's chest was filled with the bitter taste of sadness and anxiety.
Perhaps the Titans' military and political officials could derive pleasure from the reactions of these people, savoring what they said like "the pride and glory the superior race deserves" like drinking fine wine, but all he could see from it was endless
Ugliness, resentment at the boiling point, the seeds of unrest and conflict.
One nation bases its happiness on the pain of another nation. The most hideous behavior in the history of intelligent species is this - the judgment of one's own historical mentor on extreme racism actually applies to human beings themselves. I really don't know
Let him say what is good.
The reaction of the Castilians made him even more anxious. On the surface, the Titans' slogan: "Order is obtained through collective shooting" seems to have passed the argument.
They succumbed in front of the mass graves (Dian Dian Novel mobile version). They behaved like a group of real slaves, knowing exactly how to please their cruel masters. But Roland knew very well that this was just a disguise, with a dull and docile appearance.
Next, there is a sense of unremitting struggle.
There are 47 soldiers; 21 non-commissioned officers; 6 school officers; Major General Kulache, the commander of the garrison; 33 administrative officials at the village and town levels... This is the number of military and political personnel in the Special Administrative Region who were assassinated within one month last month. As of last week
, even the interim governor, Viscount Bruno, was found stabbed to death in his bedroom.
To the Castilian resistance, the Titans responded with a tougher and repressive policy: the hostage shooting method, the serial system, strategic villages, mass graves, raids, and clearing out the countryside - the Titans took control of St.
The tricks done by Tewan Crown Leader were perfected and applied to the occupied area of Castile. Gallows and guillotines were everywhere. Executions were carried out every day. And the Castilians responded with even more
Fierce counter-retaliation...
There is nothing more appropriate than describing the Sarbadut District as surrounded by beacon smoke.
The chaos of public security directly led to economic depression and rising unemployment. In turn, the unemployed people who had no food and clothing became the reserve team of the rebels - this has become a vicious circle. The economic policies of the occupying military authorities have turned this vicious circle
Loops are taken to a whole new level.
The Titans' occupation policy was simple - pillage.
All the resources that can be plundered in the occupied areas, whether they are finished products or raw materials, factories or mines, are just a list of numbers on the plunder list. Those that can be shipped back to Charlemagne will be packed and shipped away, and those that cannot be shipped back will be handed over to the consortium.
Divide it with the Titans' dignitaries.
This kind of plunder not only caused heavy losses to the Castilians, but also directly caused the occupying army to dry up its tax sources. Due to economic distress, the occupying authorities began to enclose the land. Under the leadership of the National Guard, a large number of Titans troops
They go out to enclose land and drive farmers away from the land they have cultivated for generations, and they use all possible methods.
The process of seizing land is generally as follows: first, residents are forcibly evicted from their houses with the assistance of rifles and field artillery. Then a well-dressed legal officer takes out a document and declares that the land is illegally occupied and that the farmers are "bandits"
", logically they should have been convicted and hanged. But Wang Jun was "merciful" and decided to pardon them as "bandits". Now they have to leave with 15 kilograms of luggage, and then they will set fire to the house, and occasionally rape young girls.
Activities.
Of course, not all Wang Jun, who claims to be a "master race", likes "performance art" such as burning houses and raping wives and daughters. "Just law enforcers" will also put "bandits" in jail and then set a price.
Let family members come to bribe people to redeem people. As for those poor peasant families who sold their sons, daughters, and prostitutes, the king's army is not interested in knowing. Anyway, the money and women were "voluntarily" sent by others, so you don't care.
I don't want to go to court.
But this kind of bone-crushing exploitation alone still couldn't meet the needs, so the intelligent men of the Titans came up with a new trick - only collecting taxes in cash, not food! In addition, the food was purchased by the occupying authorities.
, the whole family who smuggled food is dead!
On the surface, it doesn’t seem to be too much. Without a strategic reserve system like Alfheim, collecting grain as tax is a very uneconomical thing. It is perishable, has large price fluctuations, and is not comparable to precious metal currencies.
As for the unified acquisition by the state, this is also easy to understand. The colonial economy is of course directly managed by the authorities. Food, salt, mineral resources, etc. are all officially operated to prevent price fluctuations from causing panic among the people.
But upon closer inspection, there are a lot of tricks inside.
The government is in charge of both procurement and pricing. The quality and weight of the grains collected are all decided by the government. If there is a shortage of food, it is almost certain that the goods will be sold as inferior goods. What is even more serious is that officials must be bribed to inspect.
Otherwise, the grain will not be inspected and collected, and it cannot be sold privately for money. When the day comes for tax collection, if you cannot pay the tax, you will be sent to prison, and you can be released only after paying the tax and capitation money.
To be able to devise such a complex and sophisticated method of exploitation is really hard for the warriors of the Titans who only have muscles in their heads...
Corrupt officials are rampant, military leaders are in power, the people are in a state of poverty, and assassinations are happening one after another - it is such a mess that is now in front of Roland.
It is precisely because this occupied area is in such bad condition and will not become the fiefdom of Prince Charles that Prince Bernard is willing to hand it over to Roland, and Roland himself has no objections to this.
If you want others to accept your ideas, you must come up with something practical.
This is a mantra that Li Lin often says, and it is also a truth that applies to everyone. Except for students who are deprived of oxygen in their studies, few people will regard talking nonsense as an invincible weapon. Similarly, Roland wants others to accept him
An ideological claim must be proven to be correct and reasonable through a certain degree of verification. For a claim that involves a wider scope, the evidence provided must also have corresponding weight.
A colonial special area on the verge of collapse and riots, making it prosperous and peaceful - this is the evidence Roland wants to create, and he has long been mentally prepared for this.
"As expected, we still have to stop the fighting first."
Roland muttered softly as he flipped through the various reports provided by the consortium.
Charlemagne's extremely stupid occupation policy was the root of all problems. The various short-sighted behaviors derived from it not only intensified the conflict between the occupying forces and the indigenous people, but also seriously damaged the local economic cycle. Although various resources and wealth are currently being shipped back to the country
The picture seems to be that Charlemagne has gained huge benefits, but the negative effects will come back to Charlemagne sooner or later. It is only a matter of time.
However, the other side of the coin is the objective demand of the army expedition. Railway transportation alone can no longer meet the consumption rate of the front line. It is bound to need to collect and transport various materials needed by the front line from nearby occupied areas. Therefore, the occupation policy is certainly stupid and stupid.
It is unreasonable, but it meets military needs. If you want to carry out reforms, you must first stop this demand.
In other words, we must try to end the war.
It sounds incredible, but the situation is developing in this direction.
By Thermidor, the Titans had advanced to the line of Pontevedra-Guadalajara-Castries. The richest northern part of Castile was owned by Charlemagne, and the vanguard advanced to
It is located about 50 kilometers east of Ursalia, in the town of Guadalajara on the Henares River. Controlling this place can not only establish connections between the various forces, but also surround Ursalia.
In order to capture this place, the Titans invested 5 divisions at one go. Including the "Ustasha" division led by Colonel Pavelic, the "Chetnik" division led by Colonel Mikhailovich, and Major General Roata
The "Blackshirt" division and the "Black Flame" division under the command, plus a National Guard infantry division responsible for flank cover, and 30 iron-clad floating assault ships are responsible for providing air support.
There seemed to be no suspense in conquering a small town with an army of this size, but Roland didn't see it that way.
I picked the edge of the paper lightly with my fingers and turned the document to the next page. A new term appeared in my purple eyes - International Brigade ().
The so-called column refers to any military organization larger than the "Hundreds", which can be at the battalion, regiment, or brigade level. There are few division-level columns. There are also similar "battle groups ()" in the Defense Forces.
The establishment is not unfamiliar to Roland. What makes him more concerned is the prefix of "International".
Patriots, anti-imperialists, anarchists, republicans, socialists, independence activists, atheists, adventurers... The composition of the personnel can be described as diverse and extremely complicated. The same goes for the nationality: Albion, Albion
Lin, Aruba, Serres, Crown Territory, Ostoria, Moravia, Bohemia, Transylvania, Ymir, Lapland, and even the "Volunteer Army" of the Principality
warrior"!
The title "International Brigade" is truly worthy of its name.
It is still unclear what the combat effectiveness of this "multinational force" that speaks different languages, uses different weapons, and even does not have uniform uniforms, but judging from the data, most of them are experienced veterans or possess special skills.
Young people, well-trained, high-spirited, and extremely hostile to Charlemagne. If you underestimate this volunteer army too much, I am afraid that the Titans will kick the iron plate.
What's more, the fact that this unprecedented "volunteer army" can appear on the front line of Castile represents the attitude of all countries.
(‘We are not planning a full-scale war at the moment, but if it is a proxy war, we will stay with you until the end.’ That’s pretty much it.)
Regardless of the outcome of the battle between the International Brigade and the Titans, with such a gesture there, the arrogant Titans had to consider whether the barren south of Castile was worth their blood. In addition, the occupation
The situation in the district is tight, and the cost of garrison and security warfare is rising steadily. They are bound to stop their progress and turn around to deal with the war-torn rear.
Charlie Man has entered the extreme, and Castilla has also retreated to the extreme. No one can win. Now, anyone is waiting for anyone to come out as a mediation person.
Peace is not far away. Once the war is over, the expenditure of "military demand" will be reduced a lot, and taxation can be reduced. Both Governor's Mansion and ordinary people can breathe.
However, this is just the degree of breath. Do not fundamentally reverse the economic structure behind, change the tax system and officialdom that is unprepared, and the special zone cannot achieve true prosperity and tranquility.
These people will obstruct, destroy reform, and cope with these people more troublesome than the reform itself.
Not to mention, among the many obstacles, there are two existences that cannot be ignored -Titans and Consortium.
Needless to say, as the newly established military organization, with the great princes, the arrogance and bureaucratic habits are rooted in the organization.
The fixed tax system is another case.
I have tried all kinds of illegal actions, and received a lot of benefits from it, and did not be punished after being banned. Titanus has not taken the law and morality as much as possible, and even thinks that their illegal acts are legitimate rights.
With this kind of thought, I like to use a pistol instead of the head to solve the problem. I want to know that when I know that this group of people knows that someone will react when they break their wealth, what will happen?
The attitude of the consortium is relatively mild, and the acquiescence reform is also happy to see the economic prosperity of the new territory, but the bottom line has also been set.
The salary of the Castilla workers is one -fifth of Charlieman workers, the eight -hour work system, and the overtime salary is three times the normal hour salary. According to the situation, you can establish a technical school, teach workers to read and understand, and arrange regularly for technical workers.
Medical examination, solve some difficulties for them.
A very warm bottom line, not like Li Lin's "typical capitalist", the bottom line will be proposed.
Except for too low salary.
"Don't take the step too much. If they are equal to Charlie Manman workers, what's the point of hiring them with relatively mild conditions? More importantly, before you have the real power of the SAR, you need to be corrupt officials.
To cooperate with you with the warlords. If you are too good for workers, they will definitely violate the interests of these people. They will resist your governance, even if the special zone is paralyzed, and even a serious force conflict erupted.
I will get you back before Lisai's opening. "
Li Lin's warning before his departure came up again, Roland could not help showing a bitter smile.
Although the adoptive father is to consider these words for him, the selfishness of the consortium is also in it. According to the planning of the consortium, this new territory will become a place of dumping of goods and cheap labor production. As long as these two goals are touched, the consortium is willing to be willing
Keep silent about reform and provide various support. Conversely, before the warlords do, Li Lin will shut down the special zone by himself.
The opponent who blocked the opponent in front is so powerful that Roland, who has always been optimistic, is also stunned for the difficulty.
but--
"Don't do it ..."
Speaking as if it was a self -ridiculous words, but did not complain and buried in the tone, opened the screens, and looked at the purple pupils of the Governor's House of the distance flowing out.
