Chapter 822: Domination of Southern Xinjiang (48) The Second September Uprising
The strategic goal given by the National Assembly to Marshal of Army Group on the Western Front, Baleklano, was to ensure that the territory that had been recovered was not lost, and the rest was up to him, but as a general with twenty legions at hand, Baleklano was not willing to sit still, and his subordinates were not reconciled, they all wanted to enter Omedo to gain more merit.
In terms of Sib's current territory, the most difficult obstacle to Omedo is undoubtedly the Khoo-Tia corridor, which is a necessary route by land.
Qiu-Tia is a corridor rather than a fortress, i.e. it is a narrow strip of land, or worse still, a coastal strip, with mountains to the east and a coast to the west, and the route is covered with large and small star forts built by Omedo over the years, in which case it is necessary to control the sea if you want to cross this corridor.
It is the best thing to be able to cross the corridor by sea, but Siber's current navy can only hold on to the intervening navy, and cannot be defeated at all, not to mention that the intervening navy has a firm control of the corridor by virtue of the superiority of shore defense artillery.
In the case that the sea control has not changed hands, it is impossible for Baleklano to attack, because this is looking for death, which means that the interfering army and navy can bombard Siber's army on the coast at any time, and cooperate with the heavy star forts along the way so that Siber's army cannot pass through quickly, so that there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated.
Therefore, after the spring counteroffensive began, the main engagement on the Western Front was naval warfare, and Baleklano ordered a fierce battle between Siber's newly established navy and the navy sent by the Oretia intervention force, in an attempt to gain vital naval supremacy for Baleklano's southward movement.
As early as when Baleklano gave the order, the admiral raised objections, feeling that the current strength of the Siber navy was not suitable for taking the initiative, but after all, under the coercion of Baleklano, the admiral's meritorious service and the pride of the Sibers, the order to send troops was still passed.
As a result, in a sortie in July, the Siber navy was unfortunately caught by Orettia and forced to engage in a decisive battle, but unfortunately suffered a crushing defeat, only a third of the fleet was able to escape, and the rest were all sunk in the sea.
The result of the July naval battle is tantamount to saying that the results of Siber's painstaking efforts to rebuild the navy in the past few years after the "January Purge" have all turned into bubbles in this battle, and judging from Siber's current financial situation, it is extremely difficult to rebuild the navy for the third time, mainly because there is no money, and the state has no money.
Seeing this, the intervening army seized this great opportunity and launched a large-scale counteroffensive on the western front through naval transport, and the nobles of the Athena province also beat the water dogs and turned against the intervening army to meet the king division, so that the intervention army quickly took control of the cities along the western front, and used it as a base to land in a steady stream.
Thus, in August and September, Siber was once again in an extremely dangerous situation, the western front was constantly losing land, and the eastern front was in danger because of the front and rear attacks of Zuan and Kiberon I.
Due to the pressure from the outside line, the internal management of the National Assembly has become increasingly chaotic and lax, and the unclothed men who have been arrested and imprisoned have escaped from prison in an open and honest manner, and have once again become active in the market to demand price limits.
Despite the bad news on the front line, the members of the National Assembly, led by Si Eli, and the newspapers controlled by the merchant groups behind the members of the parliament continued to repeat the same old tune, seeing the unclothed men as an act of harm to the country that had been bribed by the aristocracy.
"There is no doubt that the government's strict control of prices, which is contrary to the spirit of free trade, is a very horrific act and a great negation of the cause that has been reformed so far," said Shielli bluntly in an interview with the newspaper.
In response to the hard-liner speech of Xi Erlie, the leader of the clothless men ridiculed in the newspaper: "If the price limit is a terrorist act for the fat-headed parliamentarians, then we, the clothless men who represent the largest number of the people of Siber, hereby solemnly issue a solemn request to the National Assembly, please put terror on the agenda!"
The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and as a result of the two sides talking back and forth in the newspapers, no one can convince anyone, so they can only turn to force persuasion and physical annihilation.
The representative of the rebels in the National Assembly was Ropier, who was the former hand-held leader of Sialie, and the main force of the uprising was the Agitators led by Eibak.
They believe that the National Assembly, which is controlled by Hiari, has no capacity to save the country, so they must stand up and use violence to save the country.
Ropier initially wanted to make Ji Weiluo the leader of the uprising, because Ji Weiluo was the most prestigious member of the National Salvation League, but Ji Weiluo said that he was the supreme military leader of Sib and should not participate in the uprising, and the army would not interfere in the uprising, and the uprising must be completed by the people themselves.
Under these circumstances, the insurgents finally decided to elect Lopier as their leader, and Lopier set the date for September, and the newspapers supporting Lopier were ready to call this uprising the "Second September Uprising" to distinguish it from the "First September Uprising" that forced the downfall of the Provisional Parliament of Selitus III.
Then why is it the September Uprising? Because July to September is the tax month in this world, and all monetary taxes will be collected during these three months, so this time is also the most prone to accidents, especially after seeing this year's financial statements, Ropier has strengthened his confidence in the uprising, believing that only the uprising can save Siber.
The uprising was originally scheduled for September 26, which was also the time of the "First September Uprising", thus indicating the succession of the two "September Uprisings".
However, because the unclothed people were mixed and the information about the uprising was leaked, but thanks to the unclothed people, the National Guard, who found that it was wrong, thought that it was just the unclothed men preparing to riot, and did not realize that this was an unprecedented uprising, so the National Guard only sent part of the army to suppress it, but instead it was a surprise.
After learning that the news of the uprising had been leaked, Ropier immediately decided to revolt ahead of schedule on September 19, and made a speech imitating his former idol Siariel before the uprising:
"Citizens, our country has reached the most dangerous moment, the parliament represented by Siari ignores the voice of the people, acts recklessly and recklessly for the benefit of a few, and the only way out of the crisis is to launch another uprising to overthrow the existing parliament!"
Although this level is a far cry from Hierena, the participants in the room can no longer care so much, and after the speech, the Civil Rights League-controlled National Guard and the Clothless men launch an action, and after a few gunshots, Battiros is plunged into a sea of riots.
It was also in the "Second September Uprising" that not only Sialid, but also Ropier and his group finally discovered the true role of the barricades.
As a simple version of the barricades, the reason why it was able to help the reformers in the previous uprisings was not because of the nature of his advice, but because the reformers were more numerous than the army and controlled more areas than the army, in other words, the city had the most numbers and territory, and the barricade was the most advantageous to whomever had the most number and territory.
So who is now involved in the crossfire of Battyros, who has the most numbers and territory?
Hearing this, Siariel was puzzled, could this be the purpose of the inventor who sacrificed the barricade in the past, but how did he predict the situation today?
By the time the sun shone on the smoky Batyros on the 20th, the "Second September Uprising" had come to an end, and the Civil Rights League had taken control of most of the strategic points and blockaded the city gates and ports, and began to prepare for the urn to catch the turtle.
One of the reasons why the Second September Uprising ended so smoothly was that, with the exception of a few National Guards loyal to the Civil Rights League, the majority of the National Guard chose to sit idly by, because they were extremely dissatisfied with the current National Assembly, regardless of the high prices and the retreating front.
Since the main force of the previous uprisings was the target of this uprising, the insurgents were almost all novices, and they spent a lot of time blockading the city, so that many members of the National Assembly managed to escape from the city.
He also had plenty of time to flee, but he refused, and some daring reporters risked their lives to interview him, to which he replied: "I firmly believe in the correctness of our cause, so I will not be like the traitor Li Xi Yi (referring to Li Xi Yi III), a dog with a broken spine who has lost his home." ”
Therefore, Siali, who did not flee, and these parliamentarians led by Siari chose to go to the National Assembly, and held a meeting to discuss the "unclothed riot".
When they convened the meeting, the insurgents who had followed the trail surrounded the National Assembly, and the noise coming from the door made many of the members of the parliament frightened into the face of the earth, and they never imagined that they would one day become the target of the uprising.
Eibuck stepped on the smooth stone steps of the National Assembly, enjoying the gaze of thousands of people, and his heart was full of pride, he did not think that he, a former bankrupt accountant, would have such a day.
Thinking of this, Arabuck was even more amused, so he pointed his flint gun at the door of the council and shouted: "Listen, people inside, hand over the incompetent Standing Committee and the evil members of the Civil Rights League who follow Shierley!
Eibak's roar was exchanged for silence, and after waiting for half a sound, the impatient Eibak ordered the unclothed man to intimidate and shoot, and with a few gunshots, the luxurious crystal lamp in front of the gate of the National Assembly was knocked down, and exploded to pieces with a crisp sound, which broke the last trace of luck of the members of the National Assembly.
The timid parliamentarians begged Sialid to be considered by the National Assembly, and most of the remaining deputies had cloudy faces, and after half a ring, it was Siari who made his choice, interrupted the meeting, and went to see Eibak's group in person, as a representative of the councillors.
