1038 Chapter 1038: Old Rules

Hearing the current living conditions of the people in the main city of New Weimar, Pea was moved.

During the attack, she had read information about the hard life of the people in the main city of New Weimar and their severe exploitation by federal businessmen.

It's just that she doesn't care too much about it. With the development of industrial manufacturing, many major cities often require workers to work overtime in order to increase production, exploit workers' wages for various reasons, and even some illegal areas have hired cheap child labor.

His Majesty the Emperor even beheaded more than a dozen noble merchants because of this, and the Valkyrie intelligence department allocated some forces to monitor, so that this momentum was extinguished.

In this regard, His Majesty the Emperor developed and promulgated labor laws to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of workers to the greatest extent.

The Weimar Federation did not have a wise emperor, and the degree of exploitation of merchants had reached an astonishing level.

Peasants are better off than workers, but after a year of hard work, they can only eat enough to fill their stomachs, while workers are miserable.

A worker who works hard for a day can only feed one and a half people, that is to say, two people can only feed three people. If the couple have more children, in addition to letting the children go to work, it is almost impossible to starve to death. Happens every year.

Sam chose to serve as a soldier, on the one hand, to have enough food, and on the other hand, in exchange for monthly rations for his younger siblings.

In today's Weimar Federation, food is the hard currency, and money is useless in the Weimar Federation.

So the society regressed and returned to the era of barter, which was aimed at ordinary people. In the upper class, the main trade was still based on coins, but these money were dug out from the people and exploited.

Not only that, the federal army also colluded with these high-ranking people to block the main roads in various places and prevent the people from fleeing the city where they are located. They can only be exploited by them honestly.

"This is eating human blood!"

Pea's face was terribly gloomy.

"These businessmen should be killed!"

"Leave this matter to you, Shersh! Handle it according to the old rules."

Chersh couldn't help showing a surprised smile.

The so-called old rule is that 80% of the looted things will be handed over to the empire, and the rest will be distributed by the looting army.

This kind of behavior is very normal in the mainland, but the Melox Empire has been strictly controlled since its founding, and soldiers are not allowed to slaughter and plunder the people.

Of course, there are a few occasions, such as cleaning up some disobedient nobles and wealthy businessmen, or some diehards.

It's just that this kind of thing has never been put on the bright side, so the people of the empire don't know that the soldiers of the empire also have such a dark side.

Shersh once participated in a city massacre, because the earl lord's personal prestige was too high, and the people of the whole city looked up to him and vowed to fight the United Army to the death. Even if the last city was captured, the people in the city From time to time, the people launched KB attacks on the defenders, or used black guns, and even launched ambushes in the complex terrain outside the city. There was a faint tendency to evolve into guerrillas.

In the end, Gawain ordered the massacre of the city.

This was also the first massacre of a city by the empire, and the entire city was razed to the ground afterwards. This incident also became a typical case of the United Army.

Afterwards, Gawain also reported the matter to Aslan. At that time, Aslan did not express any attitude towards it, acquiescing to Gao Wen's actions, but demotion of Gao Wen afterwards was regarded as his punishment.

After Pea reported the matter to Arthur, Arthur couldn't help laughing after being silent for a while.

"Actually, this matter is not as serious as you imagined, but it is an opportunity."

Pea was stunned when she heard that, their brutal actions were still an opportunity.

"Your Majesty once said that mastering public opinion is sometimes more effective than any weapon."

Arthur knocked Pea on the head.

That's the bad thing about her, seeing things the way the military does.

"Propagate to ordinary people that all the hard life in the Weimar Federation today comes from the exploitation of the old aristocrats and rich oligarchs. The empire is here to liberate them and lead them to a happy and better life. The more evil the publicity of these people, the better. From time to time, ordinary people who can't bear it will naturally attack these people's mansions..."

Before Arthur finished speaking, Pea interrupted.

"The private soldiers in these mansions range from thousands to hundreds, and they are all equipped with the latest freestyle rifles in the city of magic. When the time comes, ordinary people will surely suffer huge casualties."

Arthur nodded and said: "Sometimes sacrifice is necessary. As long as there are casualties, we can intervene reasonably, suppress these people with thunderous means, and finally hand them over to the people for trial. We will kill them all from the beginning to the end." He is extraordinary, but easily completed the target task and won the support of the people."

Pea's mouth is wide open, and she can still play like this.

"If you are worried about too many casualties, let those captured soldiers take the lead, and then distribute weapons to them."

Pea nodded, and came out of the command post in a daze, just in time to bump into Xie Ershi who was dispatching troops.

"Don't move, I have a plan."

Shersh's face suddenly collapsed when he heard that there should be no action at first, but after hearing Pea's plan, he couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and then turned around to make arrangements.

This matter will naturally fall on Shersh. Brother Dam is good, especially Sam. Recently, he has attracted a lot of federal prisoners. Coupled with the backing of the United Army and a large amount of food to open the way, the situation quickly became prosperous. , faintly has the appearance of a big traitor of the Weimar Federation.

With him taking the lead, it is believed that many people will respond soon.

In order to deceive others, the 1st and 2nd Airborne Brigades also launched an attack on the granaries of the main city of New Weimar.

A 100,000 army composed of remnant troops and other urban private soldiers and strong men successfully repelled the attack.

In this attack, the two brigades did not use heavy weapons, nor did they send out mentor-level powerhouses. They only retreated after a few feints.

This battle boosted the morale of the federal army, but they did not notice that people from outside the XC area began to pour into the city in large numbers, and soon formed a torrent of tens of thousands of people and surrounded the mansions of wealthy merchants and nobles in the XC area.

Under the secret instigation of Sam and others, the people began to attack the mansions of these elders.

In order to block the impact of the people, the private soldiers of the elders began to shoot, but they were killed by the former federal soldiers hidden in the crowd.

These private soldiers never thought that the mud legs were also equipped with rifles, and they swaggered and stood on the wall to shoot. Such a big living target was still a moving target.

This wave of gun battle between the two sides can frighten the besieging people, but many people who can no longer be happy, seeing that their own side is also covered by guns, attack the Grand Master's mansion even more frantically.

In the end, they were still unable to capture the Grand Master's mansion, but instead left thousands of corpses and retreated at the cost of tens of thousands of injuries.
