1559 Why?

Many people may feel that the war will have a terrible negative impact on the Federation's economy and finances.

Because it will effectively affect the operations of many physical commerce, including export trade.

But in fact, this impact is only short-lived, or it will be until there is major good news about the war.

Once there is major good news in the war, for people in the whole society, these news will stimulate the rapid growth of the federal economy!

War is not a matter of one person or a political group, it concerns everyone in a country!

The federal army has been reporting good results on the battlefield in Marillo. Faced with military strikes from a completely different dimension by the federation, even with the help and assistance of the Penteo people, it would be difficult for the Marillo government to organize an effective defense, let alone defend it. Going to fight back.

There is no way, Marillo is too poor and too backward.

Before the Federals came, and before Pengeo's military assistance arrived, the Marillos didn't even know what the cabin of the plane looked like.

It wasn't until Pengeo's military assistance arrived that they realized that there was nothing "inside" about this thing that could fly in the sky!

But Pengeo's military assistance to Marillo has always been limited. Even if they send some aircraft, these aircraft will hardly play any role on the frontal battlefield!

Because the Federation is right next to Marillo!

In front of this country with the same terrible productivity as Penteo, federal planes can fly all over Marillo from the mainland.

The Federals dropped a plane and they were just a phone call away to fill the void.

But for Marillo at this time, losing a plane meant completely losing it!

A fleet of the Federation is cruising in the Atlantic Ocean. They have not discovered the route between Pengeo and Marillo in a short period of time, but it is only a matter of time before they discover this route.

The aircraft currently in Marillo are basically used only for reconnaissance.

Once federal aircraft are spotted taking off, these aircraft will immediately retreat.

Compared with aircraft that were too easy to lose, Pengeo's second military assistance was mainly based on anti-aircraft artillery.

But for Marillo, who lacks the ability to independently produce anti-aircraft gun shells, these anti-aircraft guns actually don't make much sense!

The Federals are advancing continuously every day, and some warlords can no longer bear the pressure and fall to the Federals.

No one knows when and how this war will end, but everyone knows that the Federation will not be the loser!

This is the biggest good news!

Every morning, these are the headlines on the front pages of major media and newspapers.

They were either telling people "How many kilometers have we advanced" or "How many more enemies have we annihilated". These messages greatly stimulated the federal economy.

It was not completely affected by the war. On the contrary, the Federation's outstanding military achievements significantly improved the Federation's status in the international community.

Some foreign trade factories switched to domestic sales, providing goods to the federal government and the military.

For example, in the past few days, almost all large-scale food factories in the federation have received an order from the United Development Company.

The content of the order is actually not complicated at all. It requires these factories to store the goods in the order at the designated location within the time frame specified by the joint development company.

All kinds of food, relief food!

It doesn’t need to be delicious, or even nutritious, as long as it can keep people from starving to death, it’s enough!

These are part of the agreement reached in the negotiations between the United Development Company and the federal government. There are more and more "refugees" in the Marillo-controlled area, and more and more people are gathering in the concentration camp.

These people will become a heavy burden on the federal government. After all, some things are easy to do from the perspective of capitalists, but not so easy to do from the government's perspective.

Due to these large groups participating in the war interest relationship, coupled with the federal government's dispatch of orders to various domestic industries, the federal economy is developing at a high speed in a way that may seem pathological and abnormal to outsiders!

At the end of July and the beginning of August, the weather finally started to get hotter.

But the hearts of the people of Marillo are getting colder and colder.

"Another city has fallen."

The President looked at the city circled with a red pen and an X on the map, and sighed.

In less than two weeks, this south-central city, which is also well-known in Marillo, was completely destroyed.

This was once the home of a great warlord, who built it like a city in some developed countries.

Luxurious, impressive, and huge.

But it held up for less than two weeks.

In order to defend the city, the great warlord deployed all his troops in and around the city. He announced that he should have gathered 120,000 people, plus some auxiliary workers, for a total of 150,000 people.

The number of people sounded large, but it was of no practical use. The Federals began bombarding the city indiscriminately before they even got close to the city, and their bombers kept dropping bombs.

The valley is poor

The armed men who were hiding in the building and preparing to surprise the federal people did not even see the enemy's face, and finally merged with the surrounding buildings!

Throughout the city, building debris and large pools of blood can be seen everywhere.

Including some ordinary people with weapons, it is said that at least more than 200,000 people participated in the defense of the city, and in the end more than 40,000 people died in this asymmetric war!

As for the others, those who could run had already run away, and those who died were those who couldn't.

The Federals never considered "occupying" it. They directly destroyed it into rubble with bombs and artillery shells, and then sent ground troops to start clearing the battlefield.

By the time the ground troops began to enter, the entire city had been reduced to ruins, and there were not many living militants left.

Many people around who did not run away or did not run away at all were captured by the federals.

They built some simple facilities next to the city, and then the residents, under the supervision of the Federation, began to clean up the ruins and the bodies in the ruins.

In order to prevent corpses from eventually becoming the source of the disease, these corpses and body parts were found and burned.

Even in the capital of Marillo, the President could faintly smell the special stench in the air that occurs when corpses are burned!

The closest federal army left here was only about a hundred kilometers away.

If they crossed the city in between, they could reach here within a week.

Only a short time after the war began, Mariro had already lost nearly half of his territory...

The President originally thought that the Mariro people were so brave and good at fighting that they could at least prolong the war!

The Pengeos thought so too, but it was obvious that they all overestimated the combat capabilities of the Marillos and underestimated the determination and strength of the Federals.

Army Chief Mariro was standing not far away at this time. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say or how to say it.

The current domestic war situation actually has nothing to do with him. He, the army chief, has been a decoration for a long time.

No, it's not even as good as the decorations. At least the decorations are respected, but not many people respect him here.

He can't even mobilize the police, so how can he get the respect of others?

But now something went wrong, and he became the one who took responsibility. He felt aggrieved and didn't know how to solve the problem.

In the end, it’s better to say nothing at all.

Diplomat Pengeo on the side did have some ideas, "Mr. President, I suggest you immediately retreat to...port. We must be prepared for the worst."

The port he was talking about is located on the Atlantic coast of Marillo, and is the port from the west.

From here you can take a direct boat to Pengeo, which is also the last option.

Once all of Marillo fell, Emperor Pengeo meant that they would immediately take President Marillo and members of his presidential cabinet into exile in Pengeo.

Even now, the Pengjiao Empire has prepared an exile mansion for them, waiting for them to come at any time!

Controlling these people is tantamount to grasping the highest reason for intervening in the Marillo area.

Even if all of Marillo falls, they can still use the exile government to support some local resistance groups.

It's nothing more than transporting them some weapons, ammunition, and supplies. It doesn't cost much, but it can cause a lot of trouble for the federation. This is a very good idea!

Even if one day in the future, the Pengeo Empire is able to land on a large scale, the exile government can also pave the way for them to completely take over the land of Marillo!

The President heard what diplomat Pengeo said, but he did not look back or respond. He just frowned and looked at the map.

After a while, he walked into the map and simply measured Marillo and the Federation with his hands, just simple and rough measurements.

"It doesn't look like there's a big difference," he said.

The sound was not loud, and it did not seem to have any special meaning. It was just a way to express inner curiosity or emotion.

He turned around and looked at the people in the office, with confusion on his face, "The gap between us is obviously not that big. Why did we not have the slightest ability to fight back when they decided to invade us?"

"Our history is older than the Federation, and our civilization is more brilliant than the Federation. At least our history can be traced back for more than a thousand years."

"But why, we will be the losers in the end?"

No one can answer this question.

They have many reasons, but at this time, these reasons are not valid.

Pengeo's diplomatic ambassador did not take care of the president's emotions. He once again emphasized his point of view, "Mr. President, we should go to...port as soon as possible, where it is safe enough!"

Mr. President turned his head and looked at him, then shook his head, "No, I won't go."

"I'm not going anywhere!"
