Chapter 1567 Rolling Snowball
In the battle in the sea area on the 15th, due to the timely return of the Flange fleet, the whole situation was stabilized a little.
However, this strength is obviously not enough.
If the four players join forces and can compete against the Europa camp, then this battle would not have to wait for the intervention of the South China Sea Fleet in the early days.
Therefore, the appearance of the Flange Fleet, at most, is to add some difficulty to the attack of the Europa Combined Fleet.
The current situation, invisibly, has become a contest between the South China Sea Fleet and the Europa camp.
Whether the Europa camp will hold on until the end, keep their cards, and continue to attack, or whether the South China Sea Fleet can't wait first and take the initiative to attack, this will become the key to the outcome of the entire battle.
During this period, on the east side of the Central Continent, the offensive on Gawain's side was completely stalemate.
From the moment he captured the first island, on Gawain's side, the snowball had already begun.
The timely implementation of the governance work allowed them to quickly grasp the frontier territories they had captured, and at the same time restored the important productivity of the cities under their control as quickly as possible.
Then rely on this productivity to support the front-line army to fight, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Under this premise, a whole snowball will get bigger and bigger. As more and more island cities fall into their hands and their territories become bigger and bigger, their productivity will also soar along the way. .
So far, two-thirds of Yamamoto Yoshikazu's territory has been completely captured by Gawain.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning here that due to Luo Ji's various expeditions over the years, the number of cities under his command that needs to be governed has increased almost in a straight line.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the talents in his Wanjie Civilization who want to engage in this work!
Because people need to be governed everywhere, even some students who have just graduated from college can immediately get a job as a secretary and clerk in a certain city that has fallen.
Of course, this does not mean that everyone can take the lead.
After a few months of work, if your ability to work is unsatisfactory, you will soon have to pack up and leave.
This is an opportunity for those who have talent or the ability to work, but those who do not have talent and whose work is not easy will have no chance anywhere.
Now back to the topic, after capturing two-thirds of the enemy's territory, Gawain has already begun to persuade the opponent to surrender in a high-profile manner.
However, he knew very well that surrender was basically equivalent to death, so under normal circumstances, it was impossible for players to surrender.
But it doesn't matter, his move, even if he can't really recruit the opponent, it can shake the morale and morale of the opponent. For him, it's not a loss.
However, what he didn't know was that the effect of his surrender was far better than he expected.
One island after another lost contact and then fell. No matter how Yamamoto Yoshikata controlled the news, it was uncontrollable.
All kinds of rumors have long been circulating in the territory of the three remaining islands.
Basically upload anything, but the only thing in common is that there are no good words...
People's morale was declining, and the city was in chaos. During this period, internal rebellions also broke out. They began to advocate surrender, and the cry for peace became louder and louder.
Since the destruction of the Fusang fleet that was sent out for expeditions in the early years, it can only be said that their performance over the years, His Majesty the Emperor, has really disappointed his people.
During this period, the morale of the army was even more sluggish, almost to the point of being vulnerable, completely falling into a vicious circle.
During this period of time, Yoshikazu Yamamoto, who was in a completely bad mood, had already lost patience with these gangsters. Facing the rebels gushing out from the three islands, he directly waved his hand and ordered his hands The army began to suppress the rebellion.
This entire process of countering the rebellion was bloody and tough. Originally, he wanted to use this method to quell the rebels, but he did not expect that this series of actions of his own had the opposite effect.
The tough and bloody tactics of the army have instead further intensified the contradiction between the army and the people. On the contrary, it has invisibly caused many people to fall to the side of the rebels.
For a while, the people complained, and the "army" under Yamamoto and his command almost became synonymous with "lacking dogs".
But even so, Yamamoto Yoshikazu did not intend to stop, or could not stop.
In the current situation, if he loses his military power. That's a dead end! In comparison, the affairs of the people can come later.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the army in his hands, and also to speed up the efficiency of quelling the rebellion, he directly issued a notice that every time he successfully shot and killed a rebel, a reward of 100,000 (Fusang currency) was awarded, and ten rebels were shot and killed. Army, add a non-commissioned officer! Shoot 30 rebels and seal a second lieutenant! And so on!
As soon as this statute was listed, it immediately caused a violent response within the various Fuso armies.
At this moment, many guys who wanted to be promoted to officials cheered, and some of them frowned slightly.
In the following days, from time to time, the sound of gunshots resounding in the streets almost became the main theme of these cities.
At this moment, similar things are happening on this street.
At the sound of gunshots, an old man whose clothes were covered with oil stains, who looked to be in his 60s, fell to the ground, and the blood gurgling from the wound soon spread from under the middle-aged man's body. Come.
Hearing the movement, a middle-aged woman quickly rushed out of the house. After seeing her husband's body, she let out a harsh scream on the spot, and her whole body almost collapsed.
"Huh, there were other rebels hiding in this room."
While speaking, next to the corpse, a middle-aged officer wearing an army uniform with a lieutenant's badge on his shoulders reloaded the pistol with a playful look.
During this period, the desperate woman did not have any arguments, but pounced directly on the lieutenant.
However, before the other party could pounce in front of him, the two soldiers next to him easily pushed the woman to the ground.
"Kill you! I'm going to kill you!!!"
Tears welled up in the round pupils, and the desperate woman let out a hoarse roar at this moment, as if she wanted to die with the murderer in front of her.
However, with her strength, how could she break free from the capture of the two soldiers?
Looking at the woman, the lieutenant's eyes did not show a hint of pity. Instead, he felt a bit of pleasure as an abuser, and then directly pointed the black muzzle at the opponent.
Seeing that the trigger was about to be pulled, at this moment, the lieutenant's movements suddenly stopped.
Then, while he glanced at the corner of his eye, he calmly asked the man next to him who was pointing a gun at him...
"What do you want to do? Second Lieutenant Uesugi?"
