Chapter 701 Chapter 16.21 (Part 2) The Sky Empire with Severe Symptoms
In the year 3231 of the Fire Emblem Calendar, the Sky Empire's external peace negotiations have been confirmed. Although the empire's newspapers were very reserved, all literate people in the empire understood that their side was defeated.
Decades of labor and production by the residents of the empire, including a large number of middle class and small capitalists, have become useless.
A few people are still getting rich suddenly. These decadent aristocratic groups in the empire who do not know that their death is imminent still hold a large amount of gold coins and monopolize supplies, which has aroused great resentment from all over the empire, but they ridicule the "incompetent rage" of the lower levels with disdain.
What the imperial revolutionaries criticize most now is that when the black bread of ordinary residents of the empire is mixed with 30% sawdust, the guards who go in and out of the palace discuss the taste of life in the salon.
These royal nobles must eat fine wheat bread every morning, have five pounds of butter every month, make cakes for afternoon tea, and have a set of decent clothes to attend important occasions. And I think "this is what I need", and I want to keep my own "characteristic" and beautiful life.
Relatively speaking: the hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the front who were about to be cleared were so hungry that they were skin and bones. The Xianqin envoys and bureaucrats who came from the imperial capital still believed that these losers did not deserve sympathy.
This winter, with the shortage of supplies in major cities in the central empire, cases of retired imperial soldiers taking the lead in forming teams to snatch bread appeared in almost all cities.
Even scenes of incendiary bombs and explosives being thrown at military police vehicles on the streets are not uncommon.
…The firewood pile in the big city reaches its ignition point, and the empire prepares to start extinguishing…
On January 11, 2031, it was snowing in the sky. The atmosphere in the imperial capital was tense at this time. The imperial intelligence system had discovered that the party members would instigate a great uprising in the near future. But where exactly would the party members instigate an uprising? In the past three months, almost all the spies that the Imperial Intelligence Organization had planted in the Party were wiped out.
This is obviously a purge.
At this time, in the solemn Imperial Military Constitution Hall in the imperial capital, a group of sergeants wearing black woolen uniforms stood in formation. In this situation where lower-level soldiers generally wear gray canvas military uniforms, their clothing materials include shiny black belts and leather boots. As the Empire's daggers in the shadows, they are expensive on the Empire's "accounts".
No. 234 Military Police Battalion, this team has 600 people and a total of 12 captains.
The members are all "extraordinary".
In ancient times, the cultural inheritance of spellcasters will survive to some extent in the palace empire.
For example, nobles would spend a lot of money to train some followers.
The mystics in the palace will use the necromancy (life system) arcana to implant specific life energy into their followers, giving birth to people with the strength of great knights.
Of course, if these mystics don't belong to the palace, their consciences are not that good, and their followers are tools to them, and they tend to overdraw their potential.
In the industrial countries of Wanlun Continent, there will always be a group of forces that are "absolutely loyal regardless of right or wrong" among the upper echelons of the empire.
Among the military police groups in the empire currently preparing for suppression, these extraordinary beings are mass-produced warriors "implanted with metal dragon flesh and blood tissue."
They possess some dragon abilities. Although they are human in appearance, their muscle strength is several times stronger than that of normal human flesh and blood. They also have an innate sense of danger, that is, before encountering bullets aimed at them, they will be keenly aware of danger and prepare in advance. Dodge bullet fire.
In some missions, these dragon-blooded military policemen can often successfully sneak into the core of underground forces with dozens or hundreds of people with only five people, and kill the empire's "unstable elements" and "corruption worms"
…A knife is good for killing people, but there is no way to operate on myself…
The dragon-blood military police team is led by a lady with a very pale face and silver hair. Her name is "Seagate". At this time, she is leading her own soldiers to wait for new orders from the empire's superiors.
At this time, a greasy-faced imperial colonel was escorted over by the guards. This "colonel" was called Wallace. The military rank on his shoulder came from "Shadow". His father was a duke and the head of the empire.
Seagate took a deep breath and opened the map in front of Wallace. Eight cities near the imperial capital were marked on the map. In each city, the Dragon Blood Military Police determined that there might be subversive activities in the empire. Dangerous elements.
Wallace was obviously too drunk and yawned and said: You can't be sure that instability may occur in so many cities. You want to say that the empire will perish tomorrow.
Seagate suppressed the irritation in his heart and responded to his superior politely: "I don't dare."
Seagate opened the current investigation list and narrated: "But now is a special period. In order to prevent the party members from causing huge damage, we should control these dissidents."
She took out a stack of photos and said in a low voice: "The targets of this mission are these people."
Among the photos in the third row is a man with short hair and a beard named Ludis.
Wallace didn't look at the folded photo, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do it."
…the perspective comes to the other side,…
In Swan City, Ludis had just attended the revolutionary meeting and felt that someone was watching behind him. He paused and came to an opera, a dancer named Silena. protected him.
The dancer dismissed the search by the military police. On the other hand, a secret passage in the room was opened, allowing Ludis to escape smoothly.
Ludis contacted his comrades in the Imperial Army and decided to launch an uprising in advance.
In the evening, with an explosion in the Governor's Mansion in Swan City, the uprising began. The soldiers, who were starving and cold and about to be abandoned by the empire, rushed to the armory and the rich area with their guns.
…The rural areas were still watching at this time. Because the urban revolutionary decision-making group had now alienated the "postman", someone was unaware of his decision...
On the 12th, in the eastern part of the Sky Empire, Enma was inspecting the granary. At this time, the granary was hidden deep underground and sealed with a "petrification force field".
This is a variant of the ancient "petrification arcane", but now it is through spraying medicine to transform the properties of the wheat grain shell. This petrification will eventually be lifted as time goes by, but this petrification can prevent rats, insects, and wool. It is even "fire-proof", which prevents people from stealing and selling and then burning the warehouse.
However, you can prevent thieves, but you also have to stop jackals from thinking about it.
In these months, nobles from major cities have found me and claimed to "borrow grain." Enma understood that these city nobles were already in debt like ants on a hot pot.
These city lords were in debt, not for the sake of easy repayment, but purely for the sake of paying tribute to the village.
In the past year, Enma raised coal mines, grain, and raw materials to advance to these city factories to complete the orders, but the fertilizers and machinery they delivered generally did not complete 70% of the orders.
Afterwards, Enma investigated and found that those coal mines were used up by the imperial nobles for extravagant consumption, and the grain and raw materials were also resold.
In view of their poor reputation, the Agricultural Youth Association increased the steel orders of Misur, built a steel plant in the north, reduced orders, and no longer provided production materials to these cities.
So the mayors of these cities began to send out collection teams.
These collection teams were blown up by the rain of bullets from the "water tube rocket launcher" before they could appreciate the scenery of the countryside.
Afterwards, the representatives of the "Imperial Veterans Mutual Aid Association" arranged by the Agricultural Youth Association in the rural areas appealed to the judges in the city and sent out a team of professional lawyers.
These "litigators" solemnly introduced in the courts in the city: "There are many fierce bandits in the countryside", and without exception, they pushed all the pots to the "revolutionary party".
So that some impatient municipal staff in the city cursed: "You are the revolutionaries!"
Oh, in this curse, the unofficial members of the Agricultural Youth Association sarcastically said: "Then, if you say yes, we are! So what do you think we are?"
The current situation of the empire, even the accountants of the Agricultural Youth Association know that the bigwigs in the city can't do anything to them.
…Enma seems to be leisurely, but he is waiting for news. …
After the anti-corrosion work of the granary was completed. The comrades in the city finally sent their news.
Enma immediately rushed to Mirsu City and met a man. This person was Greve's student, who was responsible for contacting Enma.
Enma: "Willie, friend, I'm so glad to see you!"
The young man who walked into the factory took off his hat and hugged Wei Keng: "Enma, I'm going to bother you again."
Enma led him into his room and said in a low voice, "How is the uprising going?"
Willy: "It seems that you already know." Enma shook his head: "You made too much noise. I only know that you are revolting, but I don't know the situation."
Since learning that Enma led the Rural Group and now has food and weapons, the Imperial Revolutionary Party has come to beg for alms again and again.
The comrades in charge of reception at the Rural Youth Association complained: This group of people were very cautious at the beginning and only asked for funds, but then their appetite became bigger and bigger, like sprinkling water, and uprisings were carried out everywhere in the empire.
But every time they revolted, they failed, which made Enma very annoyed. At one time, he announced: No more unconditional support, unless a more careful and complete plan can be formulated, and don't make small fights with a hammer and a stick.
You know, every time Enma gave them weapons, it took a lot of effort to grind off the weapon number inscriptions.
Of course, although that's the case, Enma is still a revolutionary, the most steadfast ally at the moment, and an important strategic partner in the future.
Enma: In the future, you (young people with ambitions) will be disappointed with the new ruling group that stole the fruits of the revolution, and Tiexing welcomes you.
For example, in the early preparations for the Swan City Uprising, Enma opened many small workshops to deliver supplies to them, and at the same time smuggled various parts to directly process guns and grenades. And help them train the backbone of combat personnel.
Greve sent thirty people, Enma eliminated six, and the people who stayed were much more strict in confidentiality and mutual structure than before. And let them develop members in the city, establish a list, and infiltrate the surrounding troops. ——Rebellion, Wei Keng is too skilled. But the command of this uprising was temporarily taken over by Greve a week ago.
…Comrades of the Imperial City Faction still have some arrogance towards the countryside…
Willie seemed to be trying to cover up something, so he asked first: "Enma, you are in favor of the uprising, right?"
Enma: "Yes, of course I am in favor of an uprising that is organized, disciplined, determined and strategic. Each uprising must achieve the desired results and support the next uprising. When we launch an uprising, we must be more sensitive than the reactionary government in predicting the development of events after the uprising."
Enma opened the Empire Map: "Fighting, if we want to revolt, what work do we need to do?" He knocked on the table.
First: Accurately strike at the upper echelons of the ruling structure and weaken their authority. Therefore, during the uprising, we should not only strike at the Governor's Office, but also control the "TV station" to control urban communications. I hope to see an offensive plan in this regard.
Second: After the uprising, we must ensure that the living forces are not counterattacked by the opponent. For example, here, the arsenal, the grain station, and the water plant, if we grasp these places, we can defend the city for a long time. As the fruits of victory, don't expect the "enlightened" in the city to be able to eat and drink. Now the forces that control a large amount of materials in the big cities are now "fence-sitters" and "speculators".
Third: We must always observe the reaction of the people. Now we must objectively understand that most people do not understand the significance of our actions. They do not realize the ugly behavior of the reactionary government. We must expose it every time. It is easy to shoot at the enemy, but it is a complicated and big job to kill the heart. We must leave leaflets afterwards and analyze its essence to the people.
…
Enma used the "circulation" ability to influence the comrade in front of him with all his ability.
Willy blushed, and then said: "This time, we have seized the Governor's Mansion and the armory, but the surrounding imperial regular army began to bomb us with airships."
Enma's expression darkened: "You didn't completely instigate the middle-level officers in the barracks. Where are the leaflets? Did you occupy the radio station? In addition, you have to find representatives in the city and pull them into your camp to increase influence."
Willie responded embarrassedly: "At first, we thought that the commander of the 13th Army of the Empire was in favor of the revolution."
Enma sighed silently in his heart and opened the projection map: "Don't say useless things, arrange a way for me. Outside the battlefield, I can't make an accurate judgment now."
That's it for tonight. I have a headache
