Chapter 140: Phoenix Immigration

September 15, 312 A.D. is a memorable day for the people of the former Gallic Kingdom, as it is a day when the people who had been ruled by the Phoenix Empire for more than half a year saw the dawn of liberation.

After two days of fierce fighting, the 100,000 army led by Ouyang Yu successfully eliminated the five infantry divisions deployed by General Luther on the border, more than 40,000 Imperial soldiers surrendered, and on the same day, the Second Armored Division defeated the 11th Tank Division and the 118th Infantry Division of the Imperial Army, and the commander of the 11th Tank Division, Lieutenant General Richard, surrendered and was captured.

After the 1st Armored Division successfully reinforced the city of Kaskinin, it repelled the attacks of the 116th and 117th Infantry Divisions and the 119th Cavalry Division of the Imperial Army together with the Airborne Regiment, and even launched several counteroffensives with strong air support.

The form is grim for Admiral Luther, all the troops in the occupied area of Gaul have been disabled, only the defensive force wants to attack and is powerless, even if the 120,000 troops of the four northern countries are all safely withdrawn, they will not be able to launch a counterattack, what is the virtue of the servant army Admiral Luther knows very well, maintain law and order, fight a low-intensity battle is okay, but if you want the servant army to fight with a strong opponent like Ouyang Yujun, you can only send people to the head.

So Admiral Luther asked for help from the central theater of operations, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops to retreat and shrink the defensive line, and established several defense lines centered on the former royal capital of the Gallic Kingdom to resist the next attack of Ouyang Yu's army, but Ouyang Yu's army, which had been storming for two days, also needed to rest, so the pace of the attack was suspended, and the whole army advanced to Calais, the second largest city in the Gallic occupation area.

The city of Calais was voluntarily abandoned by the imperial army without fighting, when the vanguard of Ouyang Yu's army drove into the city, the warm residents welcomed the city, the first to enter the city was the Fifth Infantry Division, most of the soldiers of the Fifth Infantry Division were soldiers of the former Gallic Kingdom, some of them were born and raised in the city of Calais, when the welcoming people saw that the troops entering the city had their relatives or friends, they jumped up with joy and tears to recognize their relatives and friends. The reunion further deepened the Gauls' identification with Ouyang Yujun, believing that Ouyang Yujun was their own army.

Calais has a palace of the original royal family, after the destruction of the Gallic royal family, it became an ownerless thing, during the occupation of the Phoenix Empire, this palace was used as his official residence by the consuls sent by the Phoenix Empire, and now this palace has become the place where Ouyang Yu settled.

Ouyang Yu, who took a comfortable bath under the service of Anne and Anna, was half-lying on the wide and soft sofa in a thin nightgown and looked at the war damage report sent to her, her first phase plan had been achieved, and she should start preparing the second phase of the plan.

In Ouyang Yu's plan, the main purpose is to eliminate the living forces of the imperial army, and he doesn't care much about how much territory he occupies, the first stage of the plan is to eliminate the five infantry divisions on the front line, forcing Admiral Luther to take the initiative to shrink, but the actual situation is much better than planned, not only eating the five infantry divisions on the front line, but also crippling the other four divisions, which is very powerful for the development of the second phase.

Ouyang Yu's second phase plan is to temporarily place Admiral Luther and his four remnant armies, eliminate the 120,000 people who are retreating from the four northern countries, solve the security behind them, and at the same time put pressure on the four northern countries, forcing the four northern countries to throw themselves into their arms and become vassals to provide themselves with resources, money and manpower, if everything goes well, Ouyang Yu is confident that he will build another army of 300,000 people within half a year, and at that time he will liberate the entire Gallic occupation area, and he can establish his own country.

"Hosts, there are a lot of people out there who want to see you. โ€

Since Roni betrayed Ouyang Yu, Matilda took over her position as head maid and was responsible for taking care of Ouyang Yu's diet and daily life.

Ouyang Yu's attention was all on the report, and he asked without raising his head, "Who are they?"

"It's the nobility of this country. โ€

Ouyang Yu raised his head when he heard this, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect these guys to come to the door by themselves, since they are going to die by themselves, don't blame me for being ruthless, help me change my clothes." โ€

After changing into a Soviet-style military uniform, Ouyang Yu came to the aristocrats who wanted her.

"See Your Highness!" ร—N.

The meeting place was arranged by Ouyang Yu in the square of the palace, and dozens of nobles bowed to Ouyang Yu together.

"Get up, do you have anything to do with me today?"

The nobles in the square, you look at me, I look at you, and finally an older nobleman came out to answer Ouyang Yu's question.

"We have all come to congratulate Your Highness on his victory, and on behalf of His Highness, we extend our highest respect to you for the invincible army that drove away the evil Imperial Army and liberated the suffering people. โ€

Ouyang Yu sneered in his heart, where did the nobles below come to congratulate her, but to see the new master, the imperial army was driven away, the Gallic royal family was destroyed, Ouyang Yu occupied as much land as the Gallic occupation area, as much land as she wanted, in order to fight for the future interests of their family, these nobles would come to see her.

Ouyang Yu, the aristocratic class in the other world, has a very clear understanding for so long, the nobles are a group without any discipline, the interests of the family are supreme, they can do anything for the benefit of the family, and they can even betray their own country, after the Gallic Kingdom was destroyed, the nobles of Gaul collectively turned around and swore allegiance to the Phoenix Empire, and helped the Phoenix Empire to oppress their compatriots, so Ouyang Yu hated this group of people very much, and had made a plan to eliminate all the nobles in Gaul, and there was no need for such moths in her countryใ€‚

"Thank you, if there's nothing I need to rest, go back. Ouyang Yu yawned, and went back without giving any face as soon as they met.

The nobles below thought of a lot of rhetoric, hoping that they could be reused by Ouyang Yu, so that they and their families could climb Ouyang Yu's thriving tree, but they were blocked by Ouyang Yu's words and couldn't say anything, so they could only bow helplessly to her back.

Ouyang Yu didn't really go to rest, but came to a very special place in the palace, where thousands of Phoenix women were "imprisoned".

Entering one of the rooms, there were several Phoenix women, of different ages, different appearances, different origins, but one thing was all the same, and that was from the scarred look in their eyes.

Ouyang Yu called the military doctor who was treating these women and asked, "How are they doing?"

The military doctor shook his head not very optimistically, "The injuries on these women are not very serious, most of them are skin injuries, and the serious ones have also been rescued, but the experience of these women has made their psychological problems very serious, and the phenomenon of suicide is very common, most of them are on hunger strike, and the extreme will take advantage of our inattention to hit the wall or cut their wrists, so while treating these women, we also need to pay attention to whether they will commit suicide at any time, and there is a shortage of manpower." โ€

Ouyang Yu nodded and said, "It's hard work, I'll send some people over to help." โ€

After the Phoenix Empire occupied the Kingdom of Gaul, a lot of immigrants were sent from the country in nearly a year, including thousands of families and tens of thousands of people in Calais, because the imperial army retreated too quickly, the vast majority of Phoenix immigrants did not have time to evacuate, without the suppression of the imperial army, the oppressed and angry Gauls, picked up knives, sticks and wooden sticks and broke into the homes of the immigrants, venting their anger to the fullest, the men were killed, the women were raped, the old people and children did not escape the catastrophe, the angry Gauls robbed the Phoenix family of everything, and then set fire to the Phoenix housesThe stripped Phoenix women were driven into the streets and gathered, and groups of Gallic men also took off their pants and lined up in a long line, and it was self-evident what to do in line.

The Phoenix women screamed helplessly, but did not receive sympathy from any of the Gallic men, who vented their anger on the Phoenix women to their heart's content, and those who helped the Phoenix oppress their fellow citizens during the occupation were also treated cruelly, even worse than the Phoenix people.

This kind of thing was not forcibly stopped until Ouyang Yu's army entered the city, and Ouyang Yu immediately issued a strict order after hearing what happened, no one should harm the Phoenix immigrants and the Gauls who helped the Phoenix people under any pretext, if there are Phoenix immigrants or Gauls who have helped the Phoenix people, she will arrange for a fair and fair trial.

This order Ouyang Yu was sent to the liberated towns and villages in an explicit way, in order to prevent similar things from happening again, she ordered the troops to isolate the Phoenix people in the liberated places from the local Gauls, and after confiscating all the property of the Phoenix immigrants, she ordered the immigrants to carry a few changes of clothes with them to Calais City for centralized care, and under the escort of Ouyang Yu's soldiers, the Phoenix immigrants embarked on the road to Calais City with apprehension.

After resting for three days, Ouyang Yu left the 1st Armored Division and the 6th Infantry Division to monitor the remnants of the Imperial Army in the south, and the rest of the troops began to move to the northeast, and the second phase of the plan was officially launched.
