Chapter 717 1633 A Pot of Porridge, Rat Shit, and a Shit Stirrer

Chapter 717 Chapter 16.33 A pot of porridge, rat shit, and a shit stirrer

At 6:00 a.m. on August 12, 3232, at dawn, the Feather Whale Port occupied by the Southern Rebel Army of the Sky Empire was shelled by the Thunder and Flash Alliance. This was the first time that an external aggression group attacked during this great uprising. Interfering with the situation within the Sky Empire.

Just three hours after the bombardment, the imperial faction in the capital of the Sky Empire was also signing a post-war agreement with the Anglo-League mission. In the white jade-patterned hall of the empire, the regent of the empire signed the "Mercenary Agreement" with 10 million gold coins. Agreement” to participate in suppressing internal rebellions.

The tip of the golden pen signed the name of "Arcane Concept" on the parchment. This contract was determined on the concept field and represented the legitimacy granted by the Sky Empire to certain "mercenary groups" to enter the empire to conduct military operations.

The Sky Empire's southern base camp of the Revolutionary Party, "Moss Port", also met with a group of foreign businessmen who were said to be sympathetic to the Revolutionary Party. While the Revolutionary Party members were still preparing for the bombardment of the southern port, the Anglo forces might attack from the southern front. When considering the situation of joining forces with the imperial army to exterminate the revolutionaries, these businessmen who "sympathized with the revolutionaries" volunteered themselves and were willing to act as intermediaries and negotiate.

Therefore, at 4:03 pm on August 12, the leader of the Revolutionary faction, Grus, boarded the Anglo's 70,000-ton battleship and met with the Anglo representatives under the huge gun barrel. The representatives of the Anglos righteously demanded that the Revolutionaries protect their "legitimate" interests. This interest includes the acquisition of large amounts of assets and supplies, as well as agricultural products.

…A spider builds a web that uses multiple legs to move…

Ever since, at 8 o'clock in the evening, in the Tangning Pavilion, the overall situation of the Sky Empire at this time was placed on the desk of the Anglo-Imperial Prime Minister.

How comprehensive is it? At this time, the conservatives in the Sky Empire did not know the trump card of the Reformists, but the Anglos knew it. The imperial revolutionaries did not know the background of the conservatives, and the Anglos also knew it.

It seems that at this time, the success or failure of the Sky Empire's revolution lies entirely in the swing of Prime Minister John's fingertips.

John brushed the bald yellow hair on his head and flicked the planetarium on his desk. He was a little intoxicated by the power to decide the fate of such a huge empire two thousand kilometers away.

Of course, he seemed to feel that he was too dissolute, so he calmed down, picked up the "cube" (scientific name: Tempering Victory) on the table, and performed a prayer ceremony. The cold metal made him feel The mood was forced to calm down.

Anglo politicians pray, which is different from the fanaticism of believers in ancient times. They feel that "faith is useful to them". As politicians, they need to use a "metal texture" to solidify their judgments. This is not so much about belief in God, but rather about allowing yourself to have "God-given reason" when making decisions.

Narrator: In this way, when those in power surrender their reason to prayer, God is actually the driving force behind everything in this continent.

Prime Minister John re-examined the situation in the Sky Empire: After careful calculation, he made a decision: "It is enough for the Sky Empire to reform the old ways. Only the party that is in line with Anglo interests has the same values ​​as the Anglo interventionist forces."

…Everything is bustling for profit, and one country has only utilitarian motives for another country’s “chaos”. …

On August 18, the Imperial Legion in Swan City was undergoing a large-scale purge. This purge was half a year late. This half-year period gave the remaining residents of Swan City the illusion that "everything has passed."

But in fact, the imperial army's management officials were just afraid of another collective resistance when they first entered the city. After half a year, they gathered the scoundrels in the city and successfully occupied the key departments of the city.

As "Enma" said during the retreat, the empire began a large-scale investigation of suspicious persons. Groups of families left behind were intruded by "imperial temporary military police" with a total amount of money.

Those who resisted a little were tied up on the street and paraded in public. These perpetrators were completely "dogs" temporarily summoned by the Imperial Sheriff to control the place.

Its management style is like "gangster, green skin". This group of people has no "public heart", and the hob meat that crawled out from the vegetable leaves and abuses is naturally "cruel". To be "ruthless" than others, the logic is "If you dare to do something that others dare not do, you will be ruthless."

So, in just a few weeks, due to the vicious competition of these "cruel officials", thousands of heads were cut off and hung in the city, becoming markers for these vicious dogs in official clothes to divide their territory.

Swan City is particularly deserted this year, with mosquitoes and flies dancing in the blood.

Seagate, who was wearing a cylindrical hat, walked on the streets of Swan City after the liberation. She looked at the city full of resentment with a cold expression. At the same time, behind her, the Imperial Sheriff wearing a tilted hat, carrying a wine bottle, and a chopping stick saw her, looked at this woman, as if he had discovered a treasure, and immediately said with his stick: "That traitor is suspicious. Molecule, let’s go back with me to investigate.”

However, before his hand could move, it fell to the ground. When the blood spattered out, the woman in front of him disappeared like a ghost. Coming to the back, Seagate faced the two people who were about to die. Said: "You guessed it, I am indeed a traitor to the party."

The two villains immediately begged for mercy: "Hero, spare your life, we will not arrest the Revolutionaries." Then before they could continue shouting, blood-red thorns emerged from their chests, and Seagate said to the two rotten men who were twitching and spitting blood: "I forgot to tell you that I used to be the captain of the Imperial Military Police. But no matter what my identity is, scum like you must die."

A few minutes later, Seagate, who had left Swan City, looked back at the place where she had fought, and took out the Imperial Military Police badge in her hand. Once upon a time, she would bow her head and kiss the badge lightly before every dangerous mission, but now she He gently placed the badge on the main road of Swan City, and never owed anything to him again.

Half an hour after she left in a hurry, an imperial military vehicle mercilessly crushed this badge of glory that the empire had promised.

...The area governed by scum is full of filth, and the sky above the heads of idealistic comrades when they work is blue. …

On August 21st, in the new industrial city of Bingxi in the north, Enma, representatives of the Peasant Youth Association, and the 123 "elite-level" captains currently selected,

The current reform situation has entered a stalemate stage. ——Judging from the intersection of red and blue arrows on the map, the Peasants’ Youth Association is now the largest “radical faction” in the empire.

At the opening of the meeting, Enma said: "We are now the fattest. I think the empire is now at the top and has begun to put us in his "most pressing issues" sequence column."

The Agricultural Youth Association area is getting stronger and stronger now, but it is not fat.

At this time, 75% of the agricultural area of ​​the empire was under control. The only grain-producing area that the empire still has firm control over is the farmland near the imperial capital basin. However, there, the Agricultural Youth Association also organized cadres to conduct business activities. .

Among the millions of Peasant Guards all over the place, the old firearms that jammed after firing two shots have now been replaced with brand-new firearms. The concept of forging in the gun chamber has generally reached the third ring. This indicator can increase the speed of the chamber. Reaching 800 meters per second. Recently, these militia groups have been conducting howitzer firing training.

On the other hand, in other areas of the empire, the large number of soldiers from big cities are not as well trained as the rural militias. After entering the rural areas to exterminate the battle, they often surrender after being surrounded. After surrendering, they hand over their guns and exchange them for bowls, and then line up to exchange them. Sesame pancake sandwiched with fried egg. After thinking about education, I quickly transferred to the agricultural youth field.

According to the current intelligence, the decision-makers of the Peasants' Youth Congress show that the imperial aristocracy and bureaucracy, whether they are the conservatives with vested interests or the opportunists who have usurped the leadership of the revolution, are rotten to the core. The belief in the God of Steam among the upper echelons of the empire has been completely corroded by the rampant "goldism".

Information provided by Bai Linglu: As the God of Steam, he may have abandoned this empire in this world. Of course, as the God of Steam who plays chess on countless planes, losing the chess game here may not be a big deal, and Wanlun Continent, The God of Steam may not really lose.

Because at least in the process of the growth of the Agricultural Youth League, there is obviously a "flicker" in the related steam concept.

The God of Steam may have placed a chess piece behind your back. Of course, he is not helping, but taking the opportunity to play games with other gods.

...Every mortal individual of Wei Keng is not arrogant enough to take advantage of the gods' internal conflicts, but Wei Keng has not done anything "unworthy" towards other mortal forces...

The current empire has very limited understanding of the Iron Star forces.

Except for the heavy mecha units led by the hero units, the military situation is unknown. This leads to the fact that these imperial generals are not aware of the industrial development of the Northern Iron Star. These imperial troops are obviously insufficiently prepared for the upcoming war.

In the eyes of the empire's top brass, the cannon fodder at the bottom is only worthy of charging with a gun.

Those imperial officers: As long as the cannon fodder uses more energy, they can still hit people, and the legion can still resist damage on the battlefield by using extra means to stimulate morale.

The regents of the empire and the pipe-smoking leaders of the Guangfu District never had "little chores at the grassroots level" on their desks.

These small chores include: clothing, food, and water purification systems that are really related to the soldiers' physical strength and health.

The empire is now not in the most chaotic state, but more chaotic. Military supplies are being resold by local forces. At least one-third of the black bread in the warehouse is filled with sawdust. Not to mention canned meat.

Now the Peasants' Youth Association has equipped various grassroots peasants and soldiers with "lightweight armored vehicles."

Oh, the "lightweight" here, the total tonnage is also about "forty tons", the crew of three people can load, the 80mm caliber assault gun is the main weapon, and a square layer is put around the round head. Grid packaging. It is powered by a heat turbine. (Nuclear energy in this world can be quite convenient with "neutron tunneling")

Of course, more importantly, the supply of infantry has been improved.

These lightweight tanks are useless against the world's mainstream super-heavy tanks, but! This kind of comprehensive mobility brings a qualitative improvement to the efficiency of the infantry's combat functions.

According to the current "mushroom" theory of the Peasants and Youth Association, the auxiliary forces of peasants and soldiers do not need to defeat those 300-ton or 400-ton heavy armored units. They only need to be able to outrun them. Those heavy armored units must be eliminated one by one. Bandits are mostly unrealistic.

[Enma: With their land cruiser’s assault speed of 30 kilometers and economic cruising speed of 15 kilometers, they want to chase us? With the number of units in the legion not exceeding twenty or even twelve at most, do you want to occupy the vast rural land? 】

This lightweight fuel tank of the Afghan Youth Association is specially designed to deal with the Imperial auxiliary infantry that follows.

…After the Swan City retreat, Iron Star seemed to have stopped the battle in the big city, but the war has been maintained…

Four months later, Iron Star withdrew from Swan City and carried out a counter-encirclement mode against all the imperial cities in the north in the anti-levy war.

These auxiliary infantry regiments, after learning that the hero unit led the heavy armor to sweep a certain area, would be dropped off by the Imperial railway troop transporter and ride on simple steam trucks or find agricultural locomotives to rush to the countryside to occupy.

And these poor Imperial auxiliary infantry, at this time, would encounter these Afghan Youth Association light armored vehicles.

The 150mm steam vehicle heavy artillery carried by these imperial troops was often pierced by such agricultural "mechanized infantry" before they were deployed.

Oh, some imperial infantry squad leaders still have combat motorcycles. The mechanical armor on their bodies is attached with advanced forging runes, which can withstand dozens of machine gun bullets. The elite ejection "cavalry gun" in their ancestors' hands has armor-piercing runes, which also uses the force field energy on the gun to pierce the steel armor of the chariot (the force field of this rune gun can change the bond energy of steel through the concept, making it the same as tofu)

But the light armored tank troops of the Agricultural Youth Association usually attack together with five vehicles, and they expect to encounter a few motorcycle riders. In terms of tactics, the gun barrel will prepare a shotgun shell in advance.

In this era, it is true that machine guns may not be able to penetrate "very sophisticated" individual armor, but when facing the "chaotic attack" of shotgun shells within a hundred meters, it is not enough.

In this era, the imperial sergeants are still resistant to small-caliber weapons, so they still maintain deterrence in urban street fighting.

But when you encounter this tracked vehicle with a cannon and a speed of 60 kilometers per hour on the plain where there is no escape, you will have a conceptual annotation of the word "tank".

Light tanks, which are often used part-time to plow and open up wasteland, are the "shovel" and "dung fork" of contemporary rural areas, and are specially used to deal with those urban cruel officials who come to "collect taxes" in the big cities of the sky.

...Enma believes that his core advantage is still "organizational ability" and "execution ability"...

When the empire launched a counterattack in Swan City, Tiexing entered small and medium-sized cities one by one and quickly integrated these cities and rural areas into the supply chain.

The city leaders in the big cities of the empire took it seriously and completed the grain collection plan in a week.

A city sends a "grain collection team" of 1,000 people at most once a month

After the Farmers' Youth Association learned about the information of these nobles' troops through the intelligence network of the department stores in the city, it would immediately pass it to the cadre group in the countryside, and then quickly transfer the population to hide the grain and mobilize the surrounding peasant soldiers.

Therefore, after the imperial tax collection troops left the city, the peasant soldiers often arrived first, and cooperated with the light armored troops and the rural transport team to ambush all the way. Finally, they were surrounded and wiped out.

From March to April this year, the local governments coordinated on a large scale and cleverly killed 150,000 rural cooperative troops temporarily recruited by the empire.

Since these rural cooperative troops were not registered in the empire and were privately recruited by the lower cities, the empire itself did not know how many people it had lost in the countryside.

Although the Agricultural Youth Association knew the battle results, it did not record them as regular combat. Only the data was left in the "transformation education" work record.

After these imperial auxiliary troops were captured, the Agricultural Youth Association first served them a bowl of meat soup, and then conducted 20 days of labor education for the prisoners.

Finally, when these officers from the city reached the redemption period, ordinary families could not afford the ransom, and they were a little anxious after being away from their families for a long time. After being sentenced to labor for two months, after a certain holiday, Tiexing would also pardon them.

As for whether this batch of imperial auxiliary defense troops who ran back later can finally enjoy reunion? I can only say that the world is not so beautiful.

Except for some people with connections, the angry city nobles will severely punish these failed defense forces and send them to the mine area for consumption. Showing the so-called "harsh means to deter defection".

... After the Battle of Swan City, Enma also began to accurately pry the hearts of the people in the empire...

In four months, the Iron Star team can be said to have fought back to the vicinity of Swan City. The attack took down many smaller strategic points such as "Truffle City" and "Dream Letter City".

This time, the Iron Star side gathered 240,000 troops. The towns controlled by the base and the enemy control points are intertwined.

The military of the empire finally understood what "setting fire to the forest" means.

The traffic line between Swan City and the imperial capital can be passed by the imperial army in the morning. In the afternoon and night, the road was taken over by the Iron Star base. The hot ball steam tractor, dragging supplies, drove towards the rebels' joint point.

In July, General Hunter (level 7 hero) sent by the Imperial Capital tried to force through the traffic line with seven knight chariots and five "Dragon Wing" airships, but after searching for most of the day, he failed to find the main force of the Iron Star Legion except for blowing up some surface buildings in the village.

The "Storm Hammer" battle team (more than 300 people) on Henry's land cruiser and 2,500 cannon fodders in trucks were subjected to persistent rocket raids every night. This kind of mental harassment seriously damaged the morale of this elite force of the Imperial Capital.

Although to this day, the spokesman of the Imperial Army still claims on behalf of General Henry: He and the rebels are irreconcilable. But "action is honest."

General Henry's troops are no longer running around.

In the words of General Hunter's soldiers: "Damn it, we went out to suppress bandits, ran for a morning, and then ran for an afternoon, and were awakened by rockets in the middle of the night. We didn't get any sleep, and we didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. We ate bacon with insects and black bread every day."

These proud first legions of the empire came to kill people excitedly, but the result was to "experience marching in the hot summer heat." When reality was not ideal, their strength was exhausted.

There are many educated heroes of the empire who recorded this combat experience of "feeling the irony of their own life" in their diaries.

However, the Iron Star side has the goal of annihilating the main legion of the empire.

Enma looked at the map of the Sky Empire hanging on the wall and whispered: "There will be rat shit and shit stirrers in this pot of porridge."
