1031 Chapter 1031: Persuading the Surrender
After registering, Sam and the prisoners of the White Horse Infantry Regiment followed in line to receive food.
At the beginning, they also didn't have any hope for food, they just hoped that they could fill their stomachs.
But when it was their turn, they were so excited that they were on the verge of tears as they looked at the broth in the wooden bowl and the two sticks of white bread.
In the Weimar Federation, one silver coin can only buy two black breadsticks, and one white breadstick costs at least ten silver coins.
This was also the beginning of the suffering of the Weimar Federation. Prices soared. Although the capital of magic organized a batch of food to enter, it was quickly divided up by the oligarchs of the federation.
Food is produced every year, and when it cannot meet the needs of the federal people, it is also sold in large quantities.
The key reason is that Anbu established the Bunge Chamber of Commerce in the magical capital. This chamber of commerce is mainly engaged in grain trading business, selling grain from all over the southern continent.
In order to create conflicts in the Weimar Federation, the Bunge Chamber of Commerce hoarded a large amount of food, coupled with continuous wars, the food in the southern continent showed an upward trend.
The Bunge Chamber of Commerce immediately purchased a large amount of grain from the Weimar Federation. The big landowners and large farmers in the Federation sold a large amount of grain to the Bunge Chamber of Commerce for profit, which caused domestic food prices to rise.
With the shortage of food, the price of food has risen. These big landowners and farmers have used this as an excuse to increase the price of food. The Bunge Chamber of Commerce naturally agreed to this. As a result, there was a food shortage in the federal territory and the price soared.
However, the grain exported has increased year by year, and even some old nobles have begun to increase land taxes and collect grain.
It is said that famines have already begun in many places, and riots have even occurred in many places.
The attack on the Weimar Federation this time was an introduction. As long as the capital city of the Weimar Federation is captured, a single spark can start a prairie fire, and it will definitely cause uprisings in various parts of the Weimar Federation.
At that time, the Merlox Empire will no longer make a strong attack to suppress these rebels, and at the same time bring a large amount of food. The big family of the Rocks Empire.
"The Melox Empire is really rich!"
A prisoner gnawed on a white bread stick and said vaguely.
Sam even saw his brother in the tent not far away, and saw him walking over with a fork sticking a piece of meat.
"After joining the empire, life will get better and better. If I work for the empire like me, I will be able to eat meat every day."
Sam took the steak and ate it. The sweet and juicy steak was the best meat he had ever eaten in his life.
"Follow the empire, there is meat to eat!"
Sam mumbled something.
Immediately, many captives echoed and asked whether they could live a good life if they really joined the empire.
"Sir, can I bring my family to join the empire?"
"Me too, I have elderly parents and younger siblings at home!"
Damm nodded with a smile.
"As long as you join the empire, you are all citizens of the empire. The empire will not let a citizen starve to death. I am not bragging. As long as you are willing to work and serve the empire in the empire, you will not be hungry. Become a respectable empire Soldiers, children at home can still enjoy free compulsory education, do you know what compulsory education is? It is to read and write, to become a cultured person like a nobleman..."
Using Sam as an introduction, Dam began to declare the beauty of the empire according to the brochure, and painted a big cake for the captives in front of him.
Many of these are true, but these people must pass the test of the empire. As for the soldiers of the empire, it is not so easy to become one.
From the reserve force to the national defense force is a hurdle, and from the national defense force to the unified army is likely to be a hurdle that ordinary soldiers will not be able to overcome in their lifetime.
The Melox Empire has formed a system for the training of professionals over the years, and it has also lowered the threshold for professionals. However, those who can really awaken fighting spirit and magic power are only promoted to one-twentieth, and most soldiers are still ordinary people. host.
Of course, soldiers of the National Defense Forces with special skills will also join the unified army, such as special units with accurate artillery and sneaky chariots and tanks will also be selected into the unified army.
Damm's propaganda was very successful, and soon won the support of a large force of prisoners, who expressed their willingness to fight with the 1st Airborne Division.
In the end it was rejected by Damm.
Just kidding, fighting with these guys will only bring down the average combat effectiveness of the 1st Airborne Division.
Their task is very simple, that is, to convince the people in the XC district, and even the people in the villages in the main city of New Weimar, to cooperate with them.
Arthur was ready. In case the new main city of Weimar could not be defended, he would lead the first airborne division to break through and fight a guerrilla war against the Weimar Federation.
In the main city of New Weimar, the First Airborne Division was turned into a war quagmire, and the Free Magic Alliance Army stationed in the Weimar Federation also got the news. They were just about to send reinforcements, but they were frightened by the unified army on the border.
After confirming Arthur's attack signal, Kruse decisively pushed the unified army on the border to advance ten kilometers, forcing the Free Magic Alliance to give up reinforcements and turn to a state of preparation for war.
The nearest border garrison cannot be reinforced, as long as it is supported by the Free Magic Alliance in other regions. The nearest Free Magic Alliance is located in the neighboring Soli Kingdom, which is more than 400 kilometers away from the main city of New Weimar. Under the circumstances, it will take three days at the earliest.
As for the teleportation array, it consumes a lot of mana. When it is impossible to produce a large amount of electricity, most of the time it can only be used for a small number of people to teleport, and large-scale troop teleportation is simply impossible.
In fact, the Magic City has already purchased power generation equipment from the Maxim Empire, but the price is too expensive, and it will take time to put it into construction.
To put it simply, when the large army goes into battle, the Magic City mainly relies on the chariot team and the Eleventh Route.
From this point of view, both the Magic Capital and the East God Sect are inferior to the Merox Empire and the Maxim Empire.
The news of the raid on the main city of New Weimar was quickly sent to the Magic Council, and all the magic councilors looked at each other in blank dismay as they read the report.
There were no indignant accusations, no clamor to teach the Melox Empire a lesson.
Just because they planned for a long time, they planned to sneak attack and regain Moratti's line of defense.
"The Moratti line of defense has just started! The Melox Empire will send troops?" Smith finished.
A correspondent ran in.
"Reporting to the Speaker, Your Excellency Dotutu asked, whether to continue to attack Moratti's defense line?"
St. Peter's speaker asked in surprise, "Have you not attacked Moratti's line of defense yet?"
In his eyes, it should be that Moratti's defense line was attacked, and the Melox Empire counterattacked the Weimar Federation in a rage.
