Chapter 251: Unfortunate Chuichi

As the daytime came normally a week later, King Junwu of the Gaomu Kingdom still felt a certain boredom when he heard the cannon outside blowing away the body of a poor guy.

Although he could not cancel the "alarm clock" that executed the criminals with a cannon every morning, but...

"Your Majesty, this is the latest war report."

Whenever Junwu thought of the war report that a minister put on his desk last night, but he was not in the mood to open it, let alone listen to it, he felt uncomfortable.

In the southern border area, the number of rebels has increased. The generals of the anti-rebellion army directly asked him, the king, whether to continue the work of clearing the countryside.

To be honest, he had previously ordered the clearing of four border villages and one city. However, after clearing one village, large-scale riots suddenly broke out in other villages and cities.

As a result, so far, a total of 10 villages and towns plus 2 cities near the cleaned village have joined the rebels' territory.

Now it is useless for Junwu to get angry and curse.

Especially now that the Akitsu Empire no longer continues to have any form of diplomatic exchanges with him, Junwu, but directly sends troops to the territory of the Takagi Kingdom to suppress the rebellion.

That's right.

Junwu's identity as the king is no longer of any value in front of the Akitsu Empire. Even the Akitsu Empire's army does not need to continue to ask him for the right of passage, and can walk freely in the Takagi Kingdom...

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

Alas!

Perhaps only the rebels in the Takagi Kingdom have the power to say no to the troops of the Akitsu Empire?

It's ironic to think about it.

Could it be that these rebels and traitors are the hope for the independence and freedom of the Takagi Kingdom?

No.

Absolutely not!

They are just a group of disobedient guys, how can they be qualified to represent the hope of the country?

The hope of the Takagi Kingdom will always be on Junwu.

The people outside are all ignorant people with little knowledge and no skills. What contribution can they make to the country?

Especially when they are still thinking about how to evade taxes and not provide enough fiscal revenue to the country.

How can a country develop its own national strength if it has no money?

In order to prevent the country from suffering serious economic losses, he listed the domestic salt fields and gold and silver mines as state secrets, prohibiting the outside people from knowing the relevant situation. At the same time, he did this to ensure the vitality of the country.

Even so, he had to give all the rice, the most abundant resource in the country, as tribute to the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire.

Seriously, can't the people below change to wheat?

They are the same as the pig-headed people. They have to eat rice. If they don't eat it for a day, they will die, right?

Indeed, King Junwu also realized it.

If a country's people want to change the habits formed in the past historical environment, they have to pay twice or even four times the time of this period of history as the most basic price. It's a pity that the rice ban issued by Junwu before was full of violent coercion in a certain sense, and it was a measure to reverse it through violence. Therefore, Junwu had no idea about how much discontent there was in the boiling society, and even the flames that were quietly burning. He didn't want to know.

After all, he only needed obedient people. The other disobedient people were sent to the shooting range and then shot away by cannons. There was no need for them to exist in the territory of the Takagi Kingdom.

In short, Junwu didn't have much mood to care about domestic affairs now. Aren't there more than 100,000 pig-headed people in the country anyway?

It shouldn't be too difficult for them to fight against rebels and traitors.

It should be.

Whoosh! Bang!

Accompanied by a blue-white beam of light bursting out from the main gun of the wave energy tank beside him, Zhongyi, who was just an ordinary pig-headed soldier, watched the enemies on the hillside being blown away by the blue halo, and he couldn't help but feel happy.

These black-haired dog-headed people who fought guerrilla warfare with him in the mountains and forests were not only difficult to find, but even like the Japanese people of the Krurod Empire,

they ran away after fighting.

Killed his companions with one shot, and then quickly slipped into the mountains and forests.

Such tactics mean sudden death at any time and anywhere for him.

Bang!

Just like now, the sudden gunshot made one of his comrades fall on the spot.

Damn guerrillas!

Chuichi, who was extremely angry, couldn't help it. In this case, the wave energy rifle in his hand could no longer be used to scare ordinary civilians, but to open holes for these guerrillas!

However, compared with his incompetent rage, the guerrillas on the opposite hill fired a missile with a slow flying speed and a smoking tail in his direction...

Not good!

Chuichi, who had no time to react, was blown away by the missile in an instant.

However, Chuichi's life was relatively strong. He blinked on the ground, then slowly climbed up.

"Get up! Get up... for me!"

Da da da!

When a machine gun on the mountain knocked down a teammate who was pulling someone up, Chuichi immediately reacted and quickly found a tank next to him as a cover.

But before Chuichi could even catch his breath, the second missile flew down from the hillside...

Bang!

Suddenly, Chuichi felt as light as a swallow, and the blue sky was actually below him.

It was only when his body hit the ground hard that he realized that he had just been hiding behind the wave energy tank.

Once this tank was destroyed, it would produce a violent explosion.

If he really stuck to the side of the wave energy tank, it would be too late for him to say anything.

In fact, what Chuichi, a soldier who had been fighting on the battlefield, didn't know was that the so-called rebels they faced not only had foreign weapons and equipment, but most of them were cannon fodder who had suffered a lot in the war of the Krurod Empire.

What's worse is that these cannon fodders who later became prisoners of the Krurod Empire's army had all been deducted from their military pay by the pig-headed people, and even reduced their weapons and equipment supplies.

For this reason, when they returned to their hometown and saw the pig-headed people, they were extremely jealous. In addition, the black-haired dog-headed people who were now resisting the rule of the Gaomu royal family had made great progress in combat skills and experience after receiving weapons and equipment support from foreign forces.

So Chuichi gritted his teeth and jumped into a bomb crater as if he had no other choice. Although the firepower from the manual rifle was not too strong, he had no intention of continuing to fight.

Even though his behavior was a shame to every warrior of the Akitsu Empire, it was a true expression of fear of fighting. But he didn't want to die, and didn't want to be killed by the enemy on the mountain in the wilderness.

However, things would not get better because of his escape. The rebels on the mountain gathered the grenades in their hands and threw them together down the mountain...

Chuichi watched one of the cluster grenades suddenly appear in front of him, and he had no time to react at all.

In short, with a flash of fire, he no longer had to worry about the affairs of this world, let alone go to the military court for his cowardly behavior.

The cluster grenades from the rebels blew him up on the spot, and there was no possibility of enjoying the treatment of the medical soldiers.

Obviously, the intervention of the Akitsu Empire to quell the rebellion was not as easy as the pig-headed soldiers originally thought. On the contrary, even though the rebels' weapons and equipment were inferior to those of the pig-headed people, their tactics far exceeded their expectations.

Nagamasa: "It seems that the pig-headed people only remember to eat and not to be beaten. The beatings they received in the Krurod Empire did not make them remember."

Therefore, after Nagamasa confirmed that the pig-headed people had temporarily withdrawn, he ordered his men to clean up the battlefield carefully while starting to think about the next plan. Especially after he got the mysterious man's communication method from Jian, he became more and more aware that he had the ability to become the new king of the Takagi Kingdom.

Although he said this a bit arrogantly, how many of the current rebel forces can understand the importance of education and the necessity of cultivating talents like him?

No, none of them.

For a country to be strong, the power of industry is indispensable. Even if it requires him to pay a considerable price and enough blood and sweat.
