Power and Empire Chapter 1679: Road to War (5)
Putau, a small city in the Principality of Putau, Akazir, a city close to the sea, has always been known for its picturesque scenery. With the freezing rain, it whizzed down on the ground, rolling up the **** on the ground and gathering them together. A fine trickle flows quickly along the drainage ditches on both sides of the street. The temperature in Akazel has truly entered a very cold winter. White ice floes formed on the sea, and all ships were forced to dock in the port. The small town has a population of 30,000. Among the 17 cities in the Principality of Universal, it can only be regarded as a third-tier city.
Although it is very remote from the center of the Principality, news from the inland is spreading rapidly here. In Guangping in the center of the city, a dozen general citizens gather together, and their looks are very strange. The expressions of all of them were excited, and the voices of timid whispers sounded inside from time to time
"Have you heard? Your Excellency is back in Lisbon!"
"It's nonsense, it's just a rumors, Lisbon Torto is already in ruins, where will the ghost go back!"
" True color, even in hell, the duke will fight for it! This is the original words of the duke, don't forget, just because of this, Gang Fei once wanted to assassinate him!" A general civilian look Speaking violently, his eyes are very firm
"It's crazy! It's crazy, you're going to be foolish to believe those unreliable rumors! What if the Duke really returns to Lisboa? Can you defeat Gangfei? It's impossible to dream!" One The citizen watched and shook his head next to him and said, "If I were a Duke, I would be a puppet honestly and honestly. It would be great to eat and drink!"
"Shameless! It is because of someone like you that our principality is controlled by Gangfei!" This citizen's words aroused the resentment of everyone nearby,
"You support the Duke, but what can the Duke give you?" The citizen said shamelessly, "It has been six years, and we were bullied by someone else. You saw the Duke appear before. Don't be silly. If you want to defeat Gang Fei, even a hundred years is useless, because Gang Fei is not invincible. You need people to have people, you need soldiers and soldiers. Even if you stretch out a little finger, you can crush it into powder, and we can How about? Resistance? Continue fighting? This will only attract cruel revenge from Gangfei, and we will suffer in the end. Instead of this, it is better to become Gangfei earlier! Although it is not purebred Gangfei , But at least we are also second-class civilians from Gangfei, much better than those in remote areas!"
"You coward, despicable traitor!"
The ordinary citizen's face turned blue just now, and he spat contemptuously on the ground,
" Did I make a mistake? It is you who should reflect on! "The scolded citizen held his head up and his face was dissatisfied
" This **** once helped a Gangfei to lead the way and beat him! "I don't know who shouted inside, and the others immediately surrounded him
"Help! It's a murder!" The screaming screams sounded, and the fist hasn't fallen yet, this generalist is like he has just experienced a big torture.
His shouting quickly attracted a group of Gangfei soldiers patrolling nearby. These Gangfei soldiers were fully armed. Wearing armor and holding a cold light and cold spear in his hand, the murderous aura stopped the general man who was whispering.
"What are you doing, don’t you know that more than ten people are not allowed to gather recently?"
The Gangfei officer who led the team glanced around with cold eyes, and finally fell on the citizen who was glaring at him, his tone was full of murderousness, because the recent situation is tense, security teams everywhere have received Orders for general gatherings are strictly forbidden, more than ten people will be arrested
"This is our universal land, what right do you Gangfei people have to stipulate like this!" This universal citizen raised her head without fear, and looked at the Gangfei people around him like a fighter.
" Power? Lao Tzu’s fist is power! "The Gang Fei officer’s face was cold, and he waved his hand behind him. A dozen soldiers armed with weapons rushed up from behind. Express dissatisfaction with the empire. Take it away immediately!"
"No, what do you want to do, you don't have such power, you... Ah..." The citizen struggled with a flustered expression. Gangfei is famous for his brutality. Recently, he was arrested in the name of gathering. People have been executed three batches, and there has never been one who can survive,
" My lord, he was just drunk and talking nonsense!" Some general people next to him pleaded.
" Yes, we are just playing around! "The beaten generalist also began to intercede, but the Gangfei officer did not move, but waved his hand and said sharply, "The untouchables opposed to the empire" Damn it, and those who help these untouchables should die too!"
"You savages! One day, you will roll out of the land in general." The citizens screamed and protected their bleeding heads with their hands. The whole person was squatting on the ground, **** and tragic scenes nearby. The citizens were silent one by one, everyone was shocked. Everyone heard a screaming scream. A rounded up soldier of Gangfei slammed his spear on the citizen's face with a long spear in his hand.
"This is how the opposition to the Empire will end!"
The officer leading the team had a grim expression, and he ruthlessly commanded the soldiers to raise the handle of the spear in his hand, and slam them at the feet of the citizen who was screaming in pain, until the citizen’s shouting became weaker and weaker. Although the general policy is to be soft, the conqueror is the conqueror, and the realization of the army in this respect undoubtedly illustrates this point.
" Captain Von Oppe, this kind of untouchable education is enough, it really kills people, everyone will look good! "A district sheriff next to the officer quickly stretched out his hand to pull him away. Now it's not a murderer. When,
Since the Duke of Putu landed in Lisbon, he had to bow his head and bend over when he saw a non-human being, and he was afraid to take a breath. He suddenly became brave, and a lot of people have surrounded him. Once the generalists really arouse public anger, the people who are looking around are definitely not the ones they can carry. In the end, it took several minutes before the district sheriff finally stopped the soldiers, and the citizen was already trapped. I was in a coma, covered in blood
"The servant, barbarian..."
The citizens were curled up together in blood, apparently in a semi-comatose state, but still whispering in their mouths
" is just a general untouchable, and if he is killed, he will be killed!" The officer sneered indifferently, as if he didn't want to stop like this, but he looked around more and more The general man, the countless angry eyes, also made him feel scared from the inside,
" Okay, stop! "He instructed his soldiers to take this guy away right away! I have enough reason to suspect that he is in contact with the rebels in Lisbonto." The soldiers reacted. , Hurriedly rushed up, a soldier tied the foot of this universal man with a rope, and then used a war horse to drag the ordinary civilian who had been unconscious, and a long bloodstain from the universal man’s Pulled out of the body, under the eyes of countless ordinary people full of blood, it has been traversing the entire Guangping,
is washing the rain like silk, washing the blood on Guangping, but for most ordinary people, such humiliation cannot be washed away! The Duke is in Lisbon! The capital of the Principality is still insisting, and such news is spreading in the hearts of more general people
, Duke Rubinsack, the Minister of Military Affairs, stood tall and tall in front of the windowsill of the office, looking affectionately into the distance. The imperial capital had just snowed, and a white land was shrouded in front of him, and the lake was frozen in the distance. , You can vaguely see the civilians slicing ice on the lake, and a group of white water birds flying from flapping their wings, like a long line, full of the wild nature of nature, here may not be as colorful as the green and colorful of the southern mountain lakes, but It has the natural simplicity of the northern plateau, showing innocence and beauty in the roughness,
The land in winter is filled with white frost like smoke. The spires of majestic buildings on both sides are projected on the surface of the street. No people can be seen on the street. Everything seems so dead. The sunlight slopes westward from the houses. The narrow gap shines down, dragging out long shadows
"Your Excellency Minister" heard a heavy door-opening sound behind him, and the adjutant came in hurriedly from outside the door, holding a report in his hand
"It’s the battle report from Lisbonto?" Rubinthak turned around, glanced at the battle report in the adjutant’s hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "It should be about the same in terms of time, Remchat’s The 40,000 army should have calmed down the general rebels at this moment."
" I hope that guy can follow my advice and didn’t kill the Duke of Universal Set in angrily. After all, the empire has not fully controlled the Duke of Universal. Killing this Duke will undoubtedly worsen the Duke of Universal. A softened attitude,
" Even if you put up a useless puppet to raise it for a few days, I just hope that Remchat can still remember it! "The Duke walked to his desk
" Minister, I'm afraid you will be disappointed! "The adjutant stood at attention, his face was not relaxed, and unexpectedly handed the report in front of Duke Rubin Sack." It was indeed from the battlefield of Lisbon, but not a victory. Blue!"
"Biar, I didn't expect you to become humorous too! If it is not victory, is it still red for help?" Duke Rubinsack smiled and stretched out his generous hand, and took the adjutant indifferently. The report in hand took the adjutant’s words as a kind of ridicule. Recently, the war damage of the Battle of the South has just been counted. Although no substantial progress has been made, the Congolese and African troops have lost more than 20,000 people, and 37 warships are robbing the strait. Lose in battle,
Duke Rubinsack’s heart is bleeding too,
This is the third time the Imperial Navy has suffered a fiasco this year. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor is furious and has decided to make great efforts to rectify the imperial navy which is disadvantaged in combat. For this reason, Duke Rubinsack is also troubled. The navy is no better than the army. Without a recruitment order, it can draw tens of thousands of soldiers. The imperial conquest The First World War in the Southwest has become a wound that is difficult for the Navy to recover. The loss of warships is not counted. The death of tens of thousands of experienced Imperial Navy sailors is the main reason for the imperial navy’s collapse.
A qualified sailor often needs to polish at sea for several years, and loses so much at a time. The Ministry of Military Affairs has to recruit from merchant ships, but one is for the army and the other is for civilian use. The gap between the two is not short. It took just a few months to run in. But the emperor was eager to go south. The navy was just trying to fight, like a severely ill patient who has not healed, to compete with a strong and strong man without being overthrown. Blame,
Remshat is so eager to win General Tau, it may not be that he wants to rely on the maritime superiority of the General Tau area to reinvigorate the Imperial Navy. The Navy has become the emperor’s biggest concern. This is the imperial admiralty. Everybody knows.
His gaze swept across the seal of the report, Duke Rubinsack’s expression was still stunned. It was really not the blue color representing victory. According to the convention of the Congolese Army, if it is a victory or a victory, a special kind of victory is used. Sapphire blue ink pad, and in the report before me, it is shockingly red, which means fighting hard for help
"What's the situation! What does Remchart want to do? This can not help but make Duke Rubinsack’s two white eyebrows slightly furrowed, and an unknown premonition can not help but rise in his heart, Duke General is in Lisbon Asking to land, in his eyes is a trick that I don’t know the so-called faint,
" If it is only for the purpose of driving the army to a place of despair, to arouse the soldier's determination to die, the reputation of the universal duke obviously does not have such a possibility! That is a possibility, this guy. It’s here to die. It’s not that there wasn’t that kind of sad hero before. Even if he knew it was death, he still insisted on staying in the capital. "After thinking about it, Rubin Sack can only make such a judgment. He is dealing with this. In addition to feeling a bit of appreciation, the Duke of General sets also didn’t hesitate to shoot.
A regional corps entered General Tau, and a side army was encircled as a flanker. In order to defeat the rebels in the shortest time, he hurriedly ordered Remchat’s new 10th Crusade Corps to go to Lisbon. On the other hand, 3,000 border guards between the two countries were urgently mobilized to move closer to Lisboa. In his expectation, the two forces would have a combined military strength of 43,000. Five thousand military strength, should be crushed like crushed pieces!
But now, the red on the battle report undoubtedly indicates that there has been an accident! In confusion, Duke Rubinsack opened the seal of the report with his fingers, and his eyes fell on the report.
" How could this happen! "This Marshal of Gangfei, who has been on the battlefield for 30 years, has cultivated himself in recent years, and rarely has too much emotional fluctuations, and at this moment, on his old face, Rarely showed a look of astonishment,
Lisboa is still stubbornly in the hands of the generalists! In this report, Remchart’s Tenth Crusade Corps revealed a disastrous defeat. It suffered two consecutive attacks. The Corps lost more than one-third of the battle. It was unable to launch an attack on Lisboa. What the Duke of Ke cannot accept is that until now, the attack line of the Crusade Legion has not even touched the walls of Lisboa, let alone conquered this half-ruined city!
"Something must have gone wrong! Universal sets absolutely have no such strength!"
Rubinsack’s two white eyebrows were twisted together, and he threw the report in his hand on the table, his complexion as dignified as dripping water. As the military minister of the empire, his eyes would not be In the trivial matter of a defeat in World War I, what he values is the true content of the battle of Lisbonto. The 13,000 casualties of the imperial soldiers have little influence on the military strength of the entire empire, but the empire’s general policy is adopted. The impact is fatal,
The Duke of Putao landed in the ruined Lisbon Torre. This seems to be an extremely stupid strategic layout, but at this moment it shows a staggering wisdom. Lisbon Torre, the capital of Putao, a ruined city that has just gone through turmoil,
is such a city that seems to have no possibility of holding on, but the 40,000 army armed to the teeth of the empire is hit and bloodshed.
The news revealed here is enough for the empire old man to feel a bit of chill coming up from his spine,
The empire has spent countless energy and manpower over the years to plant the unconquerable belief in the hearts of the general public. Suddenly, because of the defeat of Lisbonto, it was immediately pushed to the edge of collapse.
The popular opinion of the popular people will soon boil again, and this time, it is no longer as easy to transfer and rest as Remchat, all because of the significance of the characteristic of Lisbon is far greater than At this moment, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, which is actually occupied, is like a bright lighthouse that suddenly shines in the hearts of Uttar Pradesh people. It reignites the belief about the country in the hearts of the already confused Utau people, and a nation finds itself instantly Soul, and still in such a tragic way
Especially the rumors that I don’t know where it came from,
The Duke’s phrase "Even if my country becomes hell, I will fight to death for it" has spread throughout the entire Putao region in just a few days! The image of the duke at this moment is like a sad warrior who is backed by his homeland~IndoMTL.com~ who fought to death,
Duke Rubinsack can foresee that under the rendering of intangible emotions, the popular hearts of Putao are pouring towards the duke at a speed visible to the naked eye. As long as the Duke of Putao always sticks to the near-destroyed city of Lisbonto, The universal minds will always be close, overwhelming, unstoppable, and eventually form a torrent that makes the empire have to choose to retreat.
Looking at the report in his hand, the old handsome Rubin Sack was at a loss in his heart. He was very sure that ordinary people had absolutely no such strength! Otherwise, there is no need to resort to this seemingly tricky but upright slamming method,
What the other side thinks is that the entire war has been turned into a battle for the city of Lisbon. It’s a clever layout ability. From the moment they landed in Lisbon, the imperial army was completely under the command of the other side. That's great dancing!
Then who can tell himself, who is the man who is standing behind the fortified walls of Lisbon and waving the baton!
This is an unfair war!
