136 Prisoner of War camps
It only took about ten minutes for the four planetary armed landing craft to sink all the sail battleships of the Black Flagship. The www.biquge.info Iridium landing craft is still very particular about ways and means, mainly focusing on shipwrecks and not for the purpose of killing and injuring Shang Duohan's living forces. A large number of officers and sailors of the Shandorhan Navy who had fallen into the water were rescued by the Iridium, and they were immediately imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp like the Shandorhan City Guards in the city of Infia.
Friech and his **Guiye also escaped and were sent to a prisoner-of-war camp along with the others.
This prisoner of war camp was built very simply, with prefabricated houses made of quick building materials, a fence surrounded by electric barbed wire, and a group of prisoners of war were issued uniform prison uniforms and gathered in the camp every day.
The old Friech did not protest that he was imprisoned with ordinary sailors and did not enjoy the privileges of nobility or officers, but he was only slightly worried that his Guier would not be bullied by others in such a place.
He knew very well what kind of urine the people who came off the ship were, whether they were men or women, as long as they could use it.
Dressed in gray prison clothes, Frisch was a little surprised that the prison clothes were soft and warm, and the texture was better than his own officer's uniform.
As the commander of the Black Flagship, even if he is locked up in a camp for ordinary prisoners of war, he also has hidden privileges.
A lieutenant of the city defense corps, Shandorhan, knew Friech, and hurriedly came over to greet Friech: "Lord Marshal, I am Pishin, the lieutenant of the army of Infia City, and I had a relationship with you at the reception of the Governor before. β
Frisch nodded slightly, but he couldn't really remember who this person was.
Pishin was very attentive, and he said to Friech: "Don't panic, Lord Marshal, although we are prisoners of war, the Iridium people treat prisoners of war very well, I am afraid that the kingdom treats the soldiers better, if you don't commit taboos, there will be no problem." β
An elderly soldier next to him also said: "No, even if I am not willing to leave this prisoner of war camp." Three meals a day are enough, and there is also meat. I can't even imagine going out and eating those baked cookies again, I'd rather kill myself! Oh my God, the soft bread in the prisoner of war camp is nothing short of enjoyable. β
Frisch was a little curious and asked, "Are you eating so well here?" What is bread? β
Piskhin explained, "Yes, the Iridians are visitors from other worlds, they are rich and powerful, they can't run out of food, and their soldiers are better than magicians. The bread made by the chefs in the prisoner of war camp is their Iridium-exclusive secret ingredient, made from flour, but it is so fluffy and sweet that I don't want to eat black and hard baked biscuits anymore. β
Fleety noticed the key information, and he said, "Visitors from the sky? β
"I don't know much about this, but I've heard some from our overseer when I'm working," Pishing said. To say that our world is actually a big ball called a planet. There are countless such planets in the universe. The Iridians came from another planet, called Earth, and they called our planet the Emerald Starfish, and they came here to conquer our world. β
Friech sighed: "Even the Black Flagship and the Mage Regiment can't stop them, if they want to defeat the powerhouses of the Northern Continent, I'm afraid it will be easy." β
Pishin nodded again and again, and said, "The Iridium people have only sent a vanguard to occupy Infia, and their emperor has come to return to his planet. After a while, they will have to bring thousands of troops and horses, and there are countless warships that can sail in the sky, even if the six major mage towers come to help, the kingdoms of the Northern Continent will have no way to resist. β
The veteran oil picked his nose and said nonchalantly: "You nobles and officers, the good days are over." I see, our miserable good days are coming. Under the Iridium people, we don't have to work day and night, we don't have to be called by you, we work eight hours a day, and we are well fed and clothed. If the Iridians want us to attack the capital of Shandohan, I will sell this bone to the Iridium Emperor. β
Flech was a little angry, but he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that everyone around him, including Pihin, did not overreact. He was also a very smart man, and he would not go against the will of everyone at this time, and he did not feel that his position as a marshal could make any difference here.
Pishin pulled Frisch and whispered: "Don't be too angry, Lord Marshal, it's like this in the prisoner of war camp. Except for the regular schedule and work, the Iridium people don't care much about the rest, but they are quite comfortable. I guess we'll be let out after a while. β
Friech sighed: "I just don't know, when we release it, Shandorhan will still exist or not." β
Pi Hin said: "This is all something we can't control, the Iridium people are extraterrestrial gods, and we can't resist it." Besides, dynastic changes are only the norm, and Shandorhan has only existed as a kingdom for more than a hundred years, and I don't know how many kingdoms have disappeared before. β
What happened in the Infiya prisoner of war camp was actually within Bai Zhongqi's expectations.
The northern continent of Cuihaixing is actually very similar to Europe in the 18th century, and the kingdoms of the northern continent are full of contradictions, and in order to dominate, they are all reckless and acquire colonies in the southern continent. The lives of the lower-class people are very embarrassing, and the emerald starfish is not as rich as the earth, so the lower-class people live in dire straits.
If Bai Zhongqi wants to control the emerald starfish and grasp the mystery of why the emerald starfish are multi-star warriors, he naturally needs to make the locals submit to the United Empire and become the subjects of the FΓΌhrer. It is obviously a very reliable thing to stir up class contradictions, pull out the oppressed and exploited lower strata of the population, who constitute the absolute majority of the population, and kill the aristocratic class.
Xiao Yu adhered to Bai Zhongqi's thinking, although he only controlled Infia City for a short period of ten days, but Infia City has actually restored some prosperity, although the people are still not allowed to leave the city without authorization, but the supply of various food and commodities is not a problem. The Iridians did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and even enforced the law strictly, and did not let chaos sweep the city.
But this does not mean that Bai Zhongqi is soft-handed, since the siege of Infiya to the present, anyone who has bad intentions against Iridium has been killed. The local nobles and wealthy families who did not obey the orders of the Governor's Mansion were also purged by Xiao Yu. The wealth copied from the family is naturally not looked down upon by the Iridium people, but the deterrent effect is very good.
This is also a different means for different environments, excessive killing on Earth may lead to adverse consequences, while in Emerald Starfish, killing those troublemakers and nobles will instead cause the lower classes to applaud.
Although Bai Zhongqi's main energy at this time was still on strengthening the power of the Star Alliance by aiding Country C, he did not intend to give up the big cake of Cui Haixing. The conquest of the emerald starfish is also in full swing.
