Chapter 383: The Jade is Burned
When he returned to the hotel in the evening, Bai Zhizhan set up a table, saying that he was inviting Zhao Yu to dinner, on the grounds that he was blessed by Zhang Xiaoqing, and went to the palace to get a few bottles of good wine.
In fact, it was the wine I bought at the hotel, but it was just an excuse to treat guests.
Zhao Yu rarely drinks alcohol, and the amount of wine he pours in a glass can't taste the quality of the wine. More than ten years ago, he was even fooled by Li Yunxiang with medical alcohol.
When you're drunk, you don't have to think about anything.
Even if it's just for a while, there's always a moment of relaxation.
At this time, the eastern imperial capital of the Sayi Imperial Kingdom, outside the imperial palace.
When Wenwei came out, the palace door slowly closed.
Hearing the "creaking" sound from the palace door closing, Wen Wei couldn't help but tremble a few times. After looking back, he took a step towards the gate of Miyagi.
Night has long fallen, and the once prosperous Eastern Imperial Capital is now pitch black, like a ghost town.
Actually, it's more like a crematorium!
The strategic bombing, which lasted for more than half a year, and the bomber groups that came to visit every ten days and half a month, could not be doused with water after igniting, like a messenger from hell, and had long turned this large city with millions of inhabitants into an empty city.
It's just that the bombers of the Liangxia Empire have never bombed the palace!
In just a few months, tens of thousands of kennel-like sheds of all sizes sprung up outside the walls of the imperial city.
Almost all of the residents who did not flee lived in these shacks.
Outside of this area, there are already ruins.
In the past six months, the Eastern Emperor has been bombed 18 times, and the bombing volume of each bomb is more than 300 tons.
It's all incendiary!
In addition, the bombing was completely irregular. Sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the evening; Sometimes every few days, sometimes more than half a month; Sometimes bombs are dropped at high altitudes, sometimes at low altitudes. It felt as if it was determined by the mood of the commander who planned and deployed the bombing operation.
On a few occasions, it was raining heavily!
However, it was not without any signs.
Probably because of the fear that "the spring breeze will blow and regenerate", as long as there are signs of reconstruction in a certain urban area of the Eastern Imperial Capital, even if it is just a gathering of people, bombers will arrive.
Not to mention people, even earthworms hiding in the dirt are doomed.
From the second half of the year, the Liang Xia Empire also arranged long-range fighters to specifically attack the teams transporting supplies to the Eastern Imperial Capital. Not only will they attack transport vehicles, but even pack horses will not let go, and even bombers will be used to drop anti-personnel mines on the road leading to the Eastern Imperial Capital.
The mine is the size of an egg, with a plastic shell containing 10 grams of high-energy explosives and a pressure-activated fuse that explodes when stepped on.
Because there are no metal parts, it is difficult to detect.
The point is, the power is not enough to kill, and usually a leg is blown off.
Not only human legs, but also the legs of animals such as mules and horses.
Because of this kind of landmine, the wild dogs on the outskirts of the Eastern Imperial Capital are dying!
This is simply dehumanizing!
Not to mention the commoners, even the Narrow Emperor has not tasted meat for almost a month.
In order to satisfy their stomachs, the backyard of the palace was converted into a vegetable garden, planted with vegetables and sweet potatoes and other crops, and even the queen and the crown prince had to work in the fields!
In addition, just last month, the crown princess miscarried due to malnutrition, a baby boy, and the first grandson of the current Emperor Sa.
If there is no miscarriage, this baby boy is the future narrow emperor!
Because of this, the crown princess has been bedridden, and even the queen has fallen ill.
Can this battle continue?
In the afternoon, Emperor Narrow asked Wen Wei to enter the palace to face the saint, which was the matter of talking.
Although the Self-Defense Forces of the Changwai puppet regime are west of the Sacred Lake, and the advance speed is very slow, it is certainly impossible to capture the Sacred Lake before the arrival of winter, let alone reach the Eastern Imperial Capital, and when the winter comes, the Self-Defense Forces may not be able to continue the attack, but it is not only the puppet regime that will be tested in winter, but also the people who live in the Imperial Palace, and about 40 million soldiers and civilians who are still under the rule of the Narrow Emperor.
If you can't eat enough in autumn, what hope do you have in winter?
The Narrow Emperor has collapsed.
In accordance with the decree issued to Bunei, Emperor Satsu decided to announce his surrender tomorrow, and Bunei, as the prime minister, will be responsible for the aftermath.
Surrender?
To whom to surrender and by whom?
As early as the beginning of the year, after the negotiations in Mara City collapsed, the first assistant of the Liang Xia Empire made it clear that he would not negotiate with the Narrow Empire again for the sake of an armistice.
If you don't want to perish, you can only disarm and surrender!
Terms of surrender?
Although Xue Yuanzheng did not ask for the unconditional surrender of the Narrow-Sized Imperial State, he did not say that he would negotiate with the Narrow-Sized Imperial State, so naturally he could not talk about the terms of surrender.
To put it simply, it is to surrender first, and wait for the others to surrender.
It's just that the situation is more complicated now.
The Liang Xia Empire had established diplomatic relations with the Changwai puppet regime, and then withdrew its troops from the Sagi mainland, ending its operations against the Sagi Empire a few months earlier.
According to the statement of the Liang Xia Empire, it is now supporting and assisting the Chang Cry regime against the illegal Eastern Imperial Capital regime.
The Liangxia Empire had already recognized the Changqi regime, and there was no need to accept the surrender of the Eastern Imperial Capital.
Surrender to the long crying puppet regime?
Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation?
In addition, after the surrender, what will happen to Wen Wei, the war criminals named by the Liang Xia Empire?
Wen Wei never thought about it.
Only one thing is certain: after the Nuland Federation's convoy is intercepted, dozens of freighters are sunk and captured, and all others have fled, the Narrow Empire will certainly not survive the coming winter, and millions of people will freeze and starve to death if they do not surrender.
In fact, Wen Wei didn't expect a good ending.
Previously, there was a little bit of hope.
If the Nuland Navy wins a complete victory in the Guia Ocean, gains sea supremacy, and the convoy arrives smoothly, it will have a great chance of turning defeat into victory.
Even if the two sides are tied, as long as the transport fleet can arrive, it will be able to survive until the beginning of spring next year.
It is a pity that the Nuland navy was defeated, and it was defeated very completely.
At that time, after receiving the news, Wen Wei thought that the war that belonged to him was over, and it was only a winter before the defeat of the Narrow Yi Imperial State.
Wish?
Also, but there is no way to prevent the destruction of the Sagai Imperial Kingdom.
If the Nuland Federation can achieve a final victory, it may also be able to help the Narrowish Empire rebuild.
This is also the last value of the Sagai Imperial Kingdom.
Just the day before yesterday, Ambassador Nuland bluntly told Wen Wei that if the Narrow-Sized Empire could be burned, then after the complete defeat of the Liangxia Empire, the Newland Federation would restore it and ensure that in the post-war world, the Narrowish Empire would be the overlord of the Guia region.
Is Ambassador Nuland's words credible?
Devils will believe it!
However, Wen Wei had no other choice.
For him, the last weapon is tens of millions of hungry and narrow people.
Now that the Liangxia Empire has recognized the Changwai puppet regime, it is impossible to ignore the lives and deaths of tens of millions of narrow Yi people, and at least provide humanitarian aid.
Not to mention anything else, just food and winter clothing, which required the Liang Xia Empire to use a lot of ships.
Although the Liang Xia Empire was rich in land and resources, it could be self-sufficient in grain, and it was exported in peacetime, but there were tens of millions of more people at once, and it was not a joke.
To maintain order, at least hundreds of thousands of troops are needed.
It will take a lot of time just to send hundreds of thousands of troops to the eastern part of the Sagai, and maintaining a garrison of hundreds of thousands is a huge burden in itself!
Thinking of this, Wen Wei got into the car.
