Chapter 710 Chapter 1628 Swan City Final Confrontation

Chapter 710 Chapter 16.28 The final confrontation in Swan City

On March 28, 3231 in the Fire Emblem Calendar, forty-three cities, large and small, in the huge sky empire had openly declared their independence. Although the remaining cities did not immediately oppose the empire, the revolutionary forces within the empire had already formed a rivalry with the imperial conservatives.

However, the state of mutual hostility has shifted from a full-scale military confrontation to a "theoretical war" in the form of mutual electrification.

Affirmative debater: It is inevitable that a republic will replace the empire.

Opponent debater: The imperial system is still feasible to continue. Changing the state system rashly may cause greater disasters.

At this time, those who dominate the public opinion field in the empire are all giants in the academic field, but there is no room for small rural newspapers to intervene. The Peasant Youth Association in rural areas can express their opinions in the current changing situation. At this time, they are limited to speaking in rural areas. In the media broadcast, there is no chance to express one's voice in the huge debate at this time.

…The world doesn’t want to use force, so the experts start to open the way with their mouths…

Enma: "Behind these scholars, which the world cannot see, there are interest groups. Some are imperial loyalists, and some are compradors who tend to the outside world. This is not so much a debate as it is undoubtedly a bargaining. ”

These "holy ladies" who "reduce bloodshed" come to set "cannot" restrictions on Ge Ding who has already bled. This is actually treating the "bleeding" of others as their own bargaining chip and hastily setting limits. They are just afraid of " The "flame" grew in size and burned itself.

…When it was impossible to carry out a full-scale war in the Sky Empire, violent collisions began at some nodes…

Swan City has ushered in its most critical moment. The three surrounding empire armies have found interest groups to align themselves with, and under the instructions of these interest groups, they launched the strongest attack on Swan City.

Imperial Capital "Light News": Under the fierce bombardment and the impact of a large number of imperial soldiers, a large number of the Swan City rebels' defense lines were crumbling.

In fact, Enma stood in the smoke-filled stronghold outside the city, watching the imperial soldiers facing off in the front trenches being defeated once again by the insurgents' skillful interposition, and he exhaled and said: "You are not making progress."

The empire's generals were indeed "not good enough" according to Wei Keng's standards.

In the early suppression, the old-style army could indeed rely on "adequate training" and "standardized weapons" to exert an advantage over the changing rebel forces. But now Enma has organized a modern army in an orderly manner, and has gradually developed the tactics of modern troops in this defensive battle.

Enma: The command system of your empire's troops is only at the "platoon" level at most. In foreign operations, even the company commander (captain) supervises the battle with a firearm. Two or three officers are driving more than a hundred "grey animals". Do you expect complex cooperation among the "gray animals"? (It’s similar to the 21st century boss who offers a salary of two thousand yuan and expects employees to actively discuss tomorrow’s work after get off work)

The new troops can reach the team level. In a complex battlefield environment, the team discovers loopholes in the enemy's defense line and will subjectively break through. Even officers at this level can directly make decisions far beyond those of the old army, quickly intersperse to occupy the terrain, set up fire points, and sometimes destroy them. The opponent is attacking a battalion or even a regiment.

Enma (Wei Keng) adheres to the self-perception that he is a middle-aged man. He does not regard his "command ability" as the key to overpowering the empire in the military. Instead, he regards army building as the key to determining victory. negative key.

Each squad and platoon company is equipped with instructors to determine combat merit. After confirming combat merit, military training is arranged. After passing the examination, the military rank is promoted. This also means that as long as a soldier is brave and has excellent knowledge, he can become a general. Even though most of the soldiers are indeed bumpkins, those who can be selected are definitely qualified military generals.

In this way, on the short four-kilometer-thick defense line outside Swan City, every attack by the empire was defeated.

Enma returned to the headquarters, picked up the latest newspapers in the empire and flipped through them. After a while, he slapped his palms on the table and snorted coldly.

Enma hates his job, being regarded as "dedication" by others, and hates it even more. The people at the top use this "dedication" to complete their own little ideas.

…In this world, there are some beings who are born to take pride in sucking blood…

The Empire now has a new military hardliner who wants to capture Swan City as a bargaining chip.

This group of military hardliners are actually the "reformers" in the empire in the past.

Even if the Imperial Army conquers "Swan City" now, it is impossible for the Empire to conquer all other rebel cities one by one, but it can severely damage "the arrogance of the most radical party members."

Master Wei suddenly discovered that he was originally a supporter, but after jumping in, these guys took the opportunity to turn Swan City into a big pit.

Now the urban factions have begun to mix. Some people have rotted under the imperial system, and now they are siding with the speculative "renovators" and still can't stop eating shit.

During the entire half month, the Agricultural Youth Association accumulated a large amount of grain and cloth and began to transport it to Swan City. This truckload of supplies passed through the so-called Guangfu District, and only 70% of the goods that were taken advantage of by the cities along the way were transported to Swan City. In the city.

The troops at the front are currently stable. There are fast food packaged in vacuum plastics in the factory, and gauze and alcohol are available in the hospital. But for Enma, this war has consumed too much.

After another round of shelling by the Empire in March, as batches of wounded were being evacuated from the frontline tunnels, Enma inspected the hospital and smiled heavily when facing the group of wounded soldiers singing songs. Turn around and leave.

Enma came to the Swan City No. 3 Underground Fortress Center and held a decision-making meeting.

The content of this meeting is: "Transfer".

Enma explained from the worst perspective: If it is really impossible to take down the industrial furnace equipment, this big city will have to be abandoned. How to deal with it.

At this time, the industrial working group in Swan City gave the answer: return to the northern base area, and rely on the technical personnel who have been transferred and various technical materials to accumulate an industrial base in the north, which is the time of the two five-year plans.

Of course Enma admitted that if one's own side (the Peasant Youth Army) had an "intention to retreat", it would be translated as "surrender" by those who were interested. At this time, with the high morale of the "national revolutionary forces" pursuing victory, any "backing down" remarks in the "first city" are like pouring cold water into a thousand-degree steel furnace. The cold water will immediately turn into flames and burn you.

…There is a kind of intellectual who sits in his office and always thinks that the people working in front of him are not as smart as he is, so they should all listen to him. …

Therefore, Enma promised all members: "If a retreat is necessary, this order will be signed by himself alone and executed by everyone."

The participants in the meeting, whether they were farmers or local reformists in Swan City, were all silent about this, but then Willy said, "I am a committee member, so you can't sign without me when signing." After that, the responsible persons of other departments stepped forward and Express support.

Now in the melting pot of Swan City, no matter where they came from before, they are now being smelted together under the tempering of artillery fire and the impact of crawler tracks.

Everyone began to get angry at the inaction of "other Reformed Cauldron factions in the Sky Country".

After all, the materials currently being transported to Swan City are being pumped out at all levels during the material transportation process, which arouses everyone's sensitive nerves time and time again, and every time they ask questions via telegram, they are all perfunctory by the bureaucracy.

Just like the petty bourgeoisie people find it interesting when they see their free-range stray dogs stealing takeaways from poor students, and think that poor students should not care and should learn to be caring.

The current group of rear reformists in the Sky Empire believe that the rebels in Swan City should focus on fighting bravely and should not compete with other brother cities for supplies.

...The Sky Empire, in addition to a superior environment, has also created a large number of "egoism" in culture, lacking a "thoroughness"...

Enma's proposal to "transfer" was taking a huge risk.

If the "retreat" remarks were not made by Enma.

Then the entire Swan City Revolutionary Committee will immediately conduct a trial.

But now, in the battle that lasted for more than a month, Enma's commanding ability, as well as the overall arrangement of the situation, established the majesty that suppressed these people.

But after the meeting, we still had a series of

When Enma was preparing to plan the escape route, another student (and lover) of Greve, Gnilina, came in and tried to persuade.

Gnilina: "We are in a great situation."

Enma stared at Greve's admirer. He took a deep breath, without arguing, glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to make arrangements for many people: "Be ready for the final battle to counterattack. Technicians, children, and women will be transferred first. The revolutionary backbone will stabilize order. Tell everyone in the organization People, we go last.”

Originally, Grave wanted Willy to dissuade Enma, but Willy avoided seeing him.

As Enma began to give orders, it was like a huge machine running, and everyone was passive and could only obey the arrangements. Although these opponents had something to say, they could not say anything after opening their mouths.

The Battle of Swan City has determined the rebel army here, with Enma as the center.

Enma proved in dozens of days of defensive battles that "scheduling" was the only feasible way to maintain confrontation.

The war has reached this point, "ideal" and "feasibility" are in conflict, and everyone can only choose "feasibility".

Even the earliest urban revolutionaries now tacitly agree that they must unite around the "Enma" center.

In past uprisings, everyone was accustomed to the minority obeying the majority.

However, in less than two months, Enma changed the atmosphere in the meeting to "investigation" and "whoever makes the decision is responsible."

…Fourteen hours later, the war broke out again…

Enma came to the railway center and said to Willy: "You stay for a while."

Enma saw this passionate young man. Mobilizing enthusiastically on the front line, the injury caused by shrapnel on the forehead has not healed yet, and there is still a bandage wrapped under the hat.

How many articles from the outside world describe him as a hero and a strong Great Wall, and promote his impassioned words as inspirational words. This made him grit his teeth and "withstand" every time he encountered a front-line attack.

In Enma's eyes, this young man was not so much on the side of the main war faction as he was put on a high shelf by the "main war" faction clamoring from behind, making it impossible for him to get off.

He was about to say something when Willy entered the room.

Enma took the lead and said: "The situation is very serious now. I don't want to listen to your personal opinions, so give me the suggestions of the people in your department."

Willy paused slightly and nodded.

The personnel on the railway platform now also have the appearance of "gritting their teeth" about this war, "holding on until their last breath", and "hoping that the war will end in the next moment."

After listening to this, Enma took a pen to record everything, but did not speak.

Willie looked at the silent Enma and asked tentatively: "The Imperial Army may not be able to hold on for much longer?" His tone was very weak in front of Enma.

After a long time, Enma sighed, first criticized Willy's "luck", and then expressed his own opinion: "As a member of the decision-making layer, you must always be prepared for the "worst plan".

Before the Swan City Uprising, I took the route of surrounding the center with the countryside, so that in the Great Revolution, the people who supported the reform in the countryside were used as sacrifices by the city and forcibly collected! - This was the worst possible situation I was guarding against when I met you (before going to Swan City).

Now do you know what the "worst possible situation" I am worried about is?"

Willy looked at Enma and felt puzzled.

Enma: "What is the most important thing for a dragon slayer? It is not to kill the dragon, but to be vigilant. After being stained with dragon blood, you will become an evil dragon."

Enma spread out a large number of cities now occupied by the reformists, and the leaders of many of these cities are old bureaucrats.

Enma grabbed Willy and said, "From now on, my faction and the faction that is determined to overthrow the empire are only in a cooperative relationship. We will settle accounts in the future."

When Willy was reflecting deeply.

Enma looked at the "recovered" cities on the map, pressed his finger on Swan City, and said sarcastically in his heart: The purpose of my coming here this time was to get the "industrial means of production" for my faction, not to succumb to your faction. Nowadays, your faction has been mixed with a large number of middle factions with unclear intentions. The high cost of controlling the city and the high risk of confrontation on the front line have been largely shared by my faction. Is this how you, the city faction, treat your comrades?

Greve, I don't care what elegant ways you have now to reach a clever cooperation with the imperial reformists. But we can't hold on indefinitely here. "

When Enma said "we" and "you", his tone was already very serious, indicating that the first cooperation was about to end.

Willie, who had been in a daze for five minutes, was awakened by Enma who had finished pressing the map.

Willie: "Uh, sorry, I was distracted."

Enma: "You should evacuate first tomorrow."

Willie shook his head: "I can't evacuate."

Enma smiled: "You must evacuate, because so far in the war, I have caught two secret lines near you, but dealing with them now will affect morale. If you don't deal with them, there will be major problems in the next battle. So you need to leave temporarily."

Willie was stunned, and then after seeing the evidence given by Enma, his eyes were full of blood. As a passionate person, he didn't expect that there would be a traitor around him.

Enma: "Remember, there is a team of technical workers from Swan City who will evacuate with you, and you must take them to the north."

Willie opened his mouth. Then he asked dryly: "Then what, what about you? ”

Enma: "Everything is arranged. I will fight back without any worries." Enma raised his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't die so easily. I have to practice hard before I give the empire enough eye drops."

Willie paused. He couldn't refute Enma's strategic judgment, because in this month, all the advanced preparations implemented by Enma were proved to be correct by various serious situations later.

Willie had to say with some disappointment: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Enma: "Huh? It's not stupid to do something you haven't done before and fail. It's stupid to make the same mistake only after going through it once. "

Willie: "You have never laughed at anyone."

Enma was calm and sighed: "We are all mortals. If I laugh at you, then who will laugh at me? Gods? Even as a mortal, you have to raise your head in front of gods. "

Willie paused: "I heard that you are good at mysticism and can predict the future?"

Enma smiled and said, "Never believe in God. As a life, you should believe in all your preparations. ”

Willie: “I didn’t believe in “God’s favor” before, but now I think you may be the real chosen one.”

Enma’s tone suddenly became serious: “I am an ordinary person, comrade, stop your wrong thoughts.”

…The starlight in the sky was very cold, and a murderous aura shone on Swan City, but the red chimneys in the city emitted smoke to form a barrier…

When Enma was preparing for the evacuation, outside Swan City, three imperial generals were also looking at the fortifications of Swan City through the front-line magic crystal camera projection system.

Xius, Sugmat, and Lilot, these three generals took turns to attack Swan City within a month.

Enma’s so-called position was shaky, but in the eyes of these three imperial generals, it was impregnable. Often, the position was compressed again during the day, and it was infiltrated and cut off at night.

The Swan City war zone was watched by all forces across the empire, and the generals of the imperial army were also given tremendous pressure. From the beginning, three people took turns to fight in a round-robin battle. Now, they have lost their martial ethics and prepared to fight three against one. Heavy artillery bombarded the houses and railways in the city continuously.

But even so, when the outer perimeter of Swan City was almost in ruins, the confrontation continued. The red iron star was still hanging high on the highest industrial furnace in Swan City. And on the main waterway in the rear, armed escort ships were still cruising. Three steel bridges were destroyed twelve times and were all restored.

In fact, the morale of the entire imperial frontier troops in the outer suppression troops of Swan City was almost collapsed. If the fight continues, it will really be over.

…The soldiers were exhausted. For the imperial generals, it was just like the sugar cubes for making coffee had run out and tasted bitterness in their mouths…

Lilotte put down the telescope and asked Xiusi: "Are they really preparing to evacuate?"

Xius nodded: "Yes, according to insider intelligence, there is a split among the revolutionaries in Swan City. Those who have been defending the big city for half a month are all from the fringe faction of the revolution. Oh, um, originally a countryman." There was a hint of pity in his tone.

Xius looked at Sugmat and asked: "Sugmat, I heard that the commander called Postman is very young?"

Sugmat frowned: "Maybe. Now the times make heroes."

Lilotte: "Now the other side wants to retreat, should we chase them? Or?"

Xius interrupted: "Of course we have to chase them. The current situation of the empire requires that there must be a winner in the battle of Swan City, and that is us."

…The general holding the coffee felt that he could be wronged and suffer a little more. …

In the afternoon, large-scale artillery bombardment started again. After the bombardment, the elite armored forces of the empire, that is, the more than 40-meter-long chariots, with steam and heat waves coming out of the tail, roared towards Swan City.

In the command post where the sand and soil were falling in the frontline due to the artillery fire, Enma looked at the direction of the Empire's attack and determined that the Imperial Army was preparing to directly enter the central railway station.

Enma looked at the rows of six-meter-high combat robots on the front line, which were faster than the buses, and muttered: "What is this? Zaku?"

This is Xius's battlefield skill.

This skill: extract the power machinery in the damaged machinery and convert it into this kind of construct! For example, the knight level has two engines, and two such mecha constructs crawl out after the damage. Xius can apply a skull on this construct, which means a dying skeleton soldier.

Wei Keng, who finished reading the illustrations: "What the hell is this."

Oh, about the repair of damaged machinery, Enma destroyed large combat mechas many times in the previous wars, but after defeating these combat machines, they could not be dragged to the factory for repair, because the machinery in this plane is not only a metal transmission mechanism, but also a "concept" to protect the machinery.

The damaged fighting machines are not only broken mechanically, but also the "concept" (machine soul).

... "Concept" is everywhere in this universe...

When Wei Keng first came to the arcane plane, when launching the steel ship, the draft of the hull was obviously higher than normal. This is the influence of the spectators at the dock, who think that the iron ship should sink.

After several eras of development, in today's most modern era of gods, the rules have been much more perfect, and the "concept" has been integrated with large machinery, so when these large mechanical vehicles are destroyed. At the same time, the concept will also be "destroyed". So even if the machinery is repaired, it will not work. Unless a complete set of mechanical operation models are "burned in the mind", the damaged machinery can be resurrected on the battlefield! Of course, that is the ultimate move of the sixth-level hero.

Back to the present, as for these mechanical puppets crawling out of the large machinery.

Enma can only think of the "weird machinery" encountered in the last time he crossed.

Although several mythological eras have passed, the mode of resummoning this kind of "mechanical wreckage" is still "similar in principle" to the ancient existence of "strange machinery".

Enma: After finding the reference, it will be easy to deal with.

In the ancient arcane stage, this kind of "strange machinery" can be dispelled by the arcane principle of "element mixing".

Today, the same principle is naturally used to make "special artillery shells".

...In the factory in Swan City, the old rust on the pipes was scraped off and entered the chemical synthesis room...

In the front trench, facing the "strange machinery" torrent composed of fifty mechanical puppets.

The defense line of the three rings of the city on the side of the rebels mobilized tractor vehicles, put up five-meter-high launchers, and then stuffed gas tank warheads into them. There is 50 kilograms of gas mixed inside, and the steel barrels are wrapped with circles of metal powder.

As the trampling sound of the front armor became heavier. The rebel soldiers in the tunnel pressed the button, and the current quickly locked all the emitters. The ammunition flew out from the blind spot behind the ruins of the building.

One kilometer away, the torrent of strange machines was submerged in the rising fire cloud, and these strange machines hit the head.

When these simple shells flew up in large numbers, Lilot said: "The firepower of these rebels is still very strong. If we let the soldiers charge, our casualties will be very large." The general was not worried about the "mechanical puppets" on the front line. The large walking mecha approaching a hundred tons seemed to be able to withstand the explosion fire cloud.

But Zeus, who summoned these puppets, stood up, staring at the rising flames: "Fiery metal bullets, where did the rebels know the information?"

Lillot paused slightly, then opened the telescope again. In his battlefield perspective:

Under the crosshairs, those magic machines seemed like paper shell machines soaked in water. A large number of giant nut parts on the "death machines" that were originally forcibly pieced together were loose, and the welded steel shells were wrinkled and broken

The original "blood bars" of these summoned machines were able to withstand dozens of 100mm caliber shells, but the weakness was the welding parts.

If it was a machine processed by a normal factory, the mechanical connection parts would be welded and fixed with rivets, and there would be no problem of loosening under the "heat dissipation" warhead.

But this is a dead weapon. The destroyed machinery was kneaded by the concept field. During the kneading process, the "hero concept arcane" melted the aluminum alloy in the wreckage machinery, glued the wreckage machinery together, and sent it to the battlefield.

If the rebels used kinetic bombs, these wreckage assembled machinery could serve as the "meat shield defense line" of the imperial army.

However, Enma found a way to deal with it. Once the "aluminum alloy powder and rust powder that have been repeatedly heated more than a hundred times in the smelting furnace" with molten concept information entered the battlefield, it would immediately tunnel to those "aluminum alloys melted by weird concepts" and disperse the entire weird machinery.

...In war, no matter how strange the means are, they must be combined with "positive" and rely on "strange" to reverse it. Sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment...

Enma looked at the large cluster of machinery that collapsed on the front line, and the trench defense strongholds that survived in this steel torrent on the front line of his own side.

The rebels were excited because they had successfully defeated this huge "metal torrent".

Enma was fed back with various conceptual structures (upgrade experience) in the etheric world, and whispered: "You want to beat me away! But you have to use some real skills!"
