Chapter 1367: News of Victory
Although it was already November, the weather in Nai An was still not too cold.
The cold snap that blows from the far north, although still raging in the north, has greatly weakened by the time it arrives here after a long journey.
Coupled with the proximity of Nai An to the ocean, the winds blowing from the ocean bring warm and moist air currents.
The two air currents of cold and warm air meet here, so that a light rain will fall in Nai'an from time to time. ""The fastest update, full text hand-typed
This situation has greatly improved the foul air in Nai An due to severe industrial pollution.
Even after the rain, you can often see the blue sky.
The effects of the war never seem to have reached here.
Although Emperor Rudrun issued a general mobilization order, war materials such as grain and steel were controlled, and the tax rate on industry and agriculture was increased by 30%, and the common people of the whole country were tightening their belts to support the great cause of the empire's war, and industry and commerce were also affected a lot, and it was very depressed.
But in Nai'an, industry and commerce seemed to be flourishing. Baidu search "" to see the latest chapters
In particular, the central city of Nidel is still expanding rapidly, and the policies formulated cannot keep up with the speed of industrial immigration.
Towering chimneys were everywhere, belching black smoke into the air day and night.
Although the port outside the city has been expanded several times, there are still long queues of transport ships loaded with various raw materials from all over the mainland, and they are congested every day.
The sailors, after a long journey, were already mad on board, and they were all in a hurry to get ashore, and they kept yelling at each other in order to compete for a place on the ship. Even draw their fists against each other.
Riots broke out almost every day in the harbor.
The Port Security Team has accumulated a wealth of experience in this area. As long as there is a fight. They set up a high-pressure water hose and swept at the pups.
The huge pressure of the water could easily have washed the sailors into the sea, extinguishing the anxiety and anger in the hearts of those people.
Moreover, in order to more effectively deter those sailors who like to fight and make trouble, and reduce the crime rate in the port, it is said that the security captain locked himself in the house, and for three days and three nights, he finally held back a desperate plan to have a son without an asshole. I'm going to change the water in the water dragon for feces and urine.
When the time comes, if anyone dares to make trouble again, they will take that thing and spray at them wildly, and that taste will ...... Tut-tut, that's not too nice......
On the west side of Nedel City is the famous Nai An Railway Station. It is also the world's largest train marshalling station.
There are twenty or thirty railroad tracks alone. The rails were intertwined like a giant spider's web. Just looking at it makes people feel dizzy.
Steam locomotives were like steel behemoths, shuttling back and forth on those railroad tracks. Unusually busy.
The front of the car spewed billowing black smoke and rumbled. The whistle came and went, and from time to time, when the locomotive entered the station, it released vapor and spewed out a large amount of white vapor.
Almost every moment, trains enter and leave the station.
They unloaded the passengers, the supplies, underwent a slight overhaul by the technicians, loaded them with all sorts of war materiel, and with a loud roar, they made their way through the city and town, all the way north, to support Jouman and the Vatino.
Nedel City has undergone rapid development, and at this time it is already prosperous.
Land prices in the city are already at a premium, and the renovated wide streets are lined with new, multi-storey luxury residences.
The area has been fully equipped with running water, flush toilets, telephones and even bright lights.
However, because the steam engine used for power supply is not up to standard, the power supply line equipment is poor, and the various electricity demand in Nai'an is geometrically exploding, so the power is not very stable.
Every time at 8 o'clock in the evening, when the electricity consumption peaks, there are frequent power outages. This also made everyone block the door and jump to scold the newly established Flying Eagle Power Group.
The employees of the Flying Eagle Power Group have no awareness of being a state-owned monopoly group at all, and every time others scold, they all hide in the room, shrinking their heads, and pretend not to hear.
After all, Lei Erye collected money too ruthlessly, and he asked someone for a gold coin for one kilowatt-hour of electricity. Even so, he plans to hold another hearing on what infrastructure investment is too big and demand that the price increase continue.
The collection of money is the same as that of Zhou Papi, which makes his own employees a little unbearable.
Now it's normal to drop the chain and let people scold twice.
All the people who live here are the Nydel people who got rich first through the guò workshops and commercial transactions, and the streets are full of their brand-name limousines.
Among them were horse-drawn carriages with conspicuous license plates such as six nines, six eights, or zero zero fifty-four and so on, and sitting in them were big men with heads and faces in Nedel.
Although these people can't afford to offend Lei Erye, there is still no problem in cleaning up their own small employees.
Despite all the disappointments, more and more water pipes are being laid, more and more sewer works are being started, and various electric and telephone equipment are being erected.
What originally belonged only to the royal family has gradually entered the homes of ordinary rich and noble. Even the common people began to use mirrors, glass ...... and so on, which were originally luxury items. When you go to the toilet or something, you also know how to use hand paper, not just take a brick or tile or something, which is easy to lead to hemorrhoids.
Nai'an's qiē looks thriving.
But the war still had some impact, and most of the city's entertainment departments were closed. After the food control, although the big hotels and the like are still secretly selling alcohol, most of the taverns have been closed, and horse racing and football leagues have also been temporarily suspended.
As the number of customers became fewer and smaller, places outside the city such as Red Shoes, Moulin Rouge, and Red DreamWorks welcomed a brutal winter.
In order to survive, they launched an increasingly fierce competition.
After a series of technological transformations, optimized combinations, bankruptcy mergers. Separation, shunting, and so on. The industrial structure has been further improved. It has promoted the overall progress of the culture and entertainment industry in Nai'an......
Many places have been emptied, and bustards and prostitutes have gone home and closed down. Only a few are left that are still dismal in business.
The pastime of the city's officials and citizens was drastically reduced, and most of the entertainment left after work was newspapers.
Every morning, a group of people gather around the newsstand to wait for today's freshly baked newspaper, and buy a few copies to spend the day in the unit.
It has also become a temporary chat place for citizens, but at the moment everyone is inseparable from the war.
"The enemy in the north is getting closer and closer to Ruman City, I don't know where the Grand Duke's army is now?"
"I heard that it's not far from Ruman. It should be able to catch up. ”
"The Vatino City has been surrounded by enemies for half a month, are the troops of the Holy See all eating, and they can't catch up now?"
"At the critical moment, it doesn't depend on our Naians. ”
"I don't know if the Governor can hold it. ”
"That's for sure~!"
"I look at the hanging. ”
"Nonsense, our governor is invincible. ”
"Hey, the army is not one-fifth of the demon race, how can this battle be fought. ”
"You capitulationist. ”
"You're arrogant. ”
"You rape~!"
"You have ulterior motives~!"
“......”
The arguing people divided into two factions, and soon turned from a war of words to a fierce quarrel, shouting as if whoever had the loudest voice would win.
A crowd of people quickly gathered on the side of the road to watch the excitement. The same is divided into two groups of disagreement but you say. I'm arguing in a word.
Just when everyone was arguing, a little fat man suddenly came out of the back of the crowd, a teenager, his face was slightly black, and a pair of big black and white eyes were spinning around.
He looked left and right, a sly smile on his face, and whether it was a positive or a negative side, he was going to drink behind his back when arguing.
Seeing that the first few people were arguing more and more hotly, the little fat man shouted loudly in the crowd, inciting: "What's the use of saying, you should teach him a hard lesson for this kind of person, beat, beat him~!"
The people around him also added to the chaos, shouting excitedly: "If it's a man, give him a punch." ”
"He just owes a beating, flattening him. ”
I don't know that a stone suddenly flew from there and hit the loudest person in the crowd.
"Bastard, you dare to sneak up on ......"
Immediately, a random street brawl broke out.
A round white elephant brutally pushed the crowd away, standing at the front of the crowd of onlookers, watching the two groups fight, grinning with a big smirk.
There was a sharp "beep" whistle from the street, and several patrolmen rushed quickly.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly dispersed.
"Here comes the strip. “
"Run, there's a strip. “
"Xiaobai, it's flashing. ”
"The black dog is amazing, hurry up to Cangshan. (Something seems strange.) )
"Bastard, don't run. ”
"Grandma's, who stole my wallet~!"
“......”
Just when everyone was in a hurry, a large group of newsboys suddenly turned around the street corner.
They waved newspapers back and forth in their hands, and the crisp boy shouted: "Outside the nickname, the Vatino has won a great victory, and the demon navy has been completely annihilated." ”
The entangled passers-by and the patrolman were stunned at the same time, and the patrolman still maintained the posture of grabbing the collar of the fighter, and raised his head to look at the newsboy in surprise.
"Full support of the Elf Navy, editorial review of Naian Daily, friendship cemented with blood~!"
"Well-known critic column, we join hands, shoulder to shoulder, and enter a new era together~!"
“......”
Pedestrians on the street cheered, immediately
Rushing to the newsboys, he surrounded them, stretched out his arms with the silver coins in his hands, and shouted anxiously, "Give me a copy, don't look for it." ”
In a hurry, he simply snatched the newspaper directly from the newsboy's hand, and then took out a handful of coins and threw them on the newsboy.
In less than a minute, all the newspapers in the newsboy's hands had been snatched up.
The crowd dispersed, and they stood on the street, grabbing the newspaper and looking down.
All that was left was the poor newsboy, disheveled, lying on the ground, his satchel turned upside down, and a lot of coins and even a few gold coins scattered on the ground beside him.
Due to the small number of newspapers. The patrolman who was about to arrest someone and the perpetrator who was arrested by him had to arch their heads together. Staring at the newspaper with wide eyes.
They read the title of the big win above several times. Then he cheered, hugged each other excitedly and jumped and jumped, shouting: "Victory~!"
"Won, hooray. ”
"Long live the Governor of Lorraine~!"
"Long live the Vatino~!"
"Thank you to the God of Light, thank you to the Governor of Lorraine~!"
“......”
Traffic all over the street came to a standstill, and everyone stopped to get excited and shout loud with joy.
In the excitement, some people even danced merrily in the streets.
Strange passers-by met at once. I shouted "victory" and "victory" at the top of my voice, and I couldn't wait to share the joy that everyone knows.
Hotel owners have moved out the barrels, smashed the barrels that were about to be sour and could not be sold, and distributed them to people passing by for free.
The various shops also took the opportunity to double the price of their own products, and then hung them outside to celebrate the victory, and all the products in the store were half price......
In the train station in the distance. All the steam locomotives sounded their horns.
Thousands of ships outside the harbor followed suit.
The little hooligans even took the opportunity to kiss the beautiful girls passing by and shouted "We have won". Then up and down their hands.
The whole city is immersed in a sea of joy, and the people are happily venting the pressure of the war.
However, Chairman Leo sighed and muttered: "Xiaobai, the boss has won again, but who knows that we will also contribute." ”
Uncle Xiaobai, who was getting fatter and fatter, nodded, and screamed in a low voice, looking sluggish, there was no mention of the wise and martial arts, and the chic and extraordinary little white uncle made it very unhappy.
Uncle Xiaobai also contributed to the war.
"That's it," Chairman Leo waved his hand and said, "We are destined to be heroes behind the scenes, everyone remembers the commander-in-chief, but no one remembers the chief of the general staff." ”
There was a bit of tragedy in his tone.
The chairman smacked his lips and said, "I'm so great, forget it, I should be considered to contribute to the greatest cause of liberation for all mankind."
Let's go, go to work, I'm late, Nicole, that eighth woman should deduct my salary again. Is it easy for me as an 8-to-6 office worker. Fortunately, I am a princeling, and the state pays for food and housing, and I don't have a 35-year mortgage to repay. ”
Chairman Leo thought all the way, and Uncle Xiaobai squeezed through the crowd, then jumped into the carriage waiting on the side, and quickly went to the newly built Flying Eagle Railway Group Building.
At the same time, in the Governor's Palace, Catherine and Adele were also receiving congratulations from the military and political officials of Nai'an.
They received the news of the Vatino's battle before the newspaper was printed, and the first reaction of these officials with a keen sense of smell was to go to the two proprietresses to congratulate them.
This will definitely be the time when the boss lady is in the best mood, and the courtesy of the show xiàn can leave a good impression in front of the boss lady.
After this battle, Lord Lorraine will definitely be promoted, and it is absolutely right to follow Lord Lorraine closely.
The officials, of course, were not as direct as the people, and they listened to Angus read the detailed war report in a subdued voice in the chamber of the Doge's Palace.
Contrary to everyone's expectations, one of their boss ladies, to be precise, a prospective boss lady. Princess Lulu, who was born in the elven kingdom, also sat on the side, with a happy smile on her beautiful pretty face.
After reading the battle report, Angus bowed to Catherine and said with a smile: "The Governor and the Elven Kingdom defeated the enemy army with the power of thunder, which is really a blessing for the mainland, and I believe that under the wise leadership of the empire, it will not be long before we will achieve a complete victory." ”
The people below followed with excited patting and said, "The demon child is vulnerable in front of adults. ”
"Under the leadership of the Governor, a counterattack on the Demon Clan is just around the corner. ”
"Kill Arcadrin, capture the High Priest alive, and liberate the Semitic people. ”
"With the Governor of Lorraine here, it's really the luck of our Ruman Empire. ”
In front of Catherine, they were not afraid to slap the sycophants a little louder.
Although there was only a quiet smile on her face, those who were familiar with the big boss lady knew that Princess Catherine's reserved clasped hands showed that she was very excited at the moment.
Boasting about her boyfriend in front of her is more comfortable for Catherine than patting her on the back.
Adele also swept away the worries since the start of the war and showed a relaxed smile. From time to time, I was shaken by the sound of the officials' sycophants.
Look at them and they seem to be touting endlessly. It's about to take Lord Lorraine to the point of being the savior of mankind. Catherine waved her jade hand to stop them, and said, "The victory under the Vatino City is first of all thanks to the Elven Kingdom, it is the Elven Kingdom's navy that has played a decisive role in determining victory and defeat at a critical moment.
In this regard, Princess Lulu has played an irreplaceable role in the union of our two countries. ”
Princess Lulu covered her mouth and smiled, "I didn't do anything anymore, I just passed back and forth a few times." One qiē is all the credit of my cousin. ”
The official is the best at figuring out what he wants, and Catherine pushes Princess Lulu out, apparently to make a name for Princess Lulu.
It seems that Princess Lulu is about to walk from the boudoir of the Lorraine family to the front desk.
It is also normal that after this war, the relationship between Ruman, Vatino and the elven kingdom will enter a honeymoon period of unity and friendship, and Princess Lulu is the most suitable star candidate, and her role as a bridge between the two races is particularly important.
Catherine concluded, "Today is a day off. In the evening, the whole city celebrates with a gala and fireworks display. ”
"Yes. I'm going to prepare. Angus excitedly said yes, "Today will be a day we will never forget." ”
Catherine, Adele, and Princess Lulu got up to leave the conference room, and when they returned to the back house, they immediately collapsed on their chairs without an image, and screamed awkwardly.
They also didn't sleep all night because of excitement and joy, and they were all tired enough at the moment, and they wore a thick foundation to cover up the dark circles under their eyes.
Catherine and Adele untied their robes indiscriminately, kicked off their shoes, and complained on the sofa: "Listen to what they say, the demons are vulnerable, and the counterattack is just around the corner, as if Lorraine is standing guard in the Vatino, we will win, I don't know our hard work at all." ”
Catherine pouted slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, no one knows how hard we have worked for this battle, and we can still sue them." ”
Adele wrenched her fingers and said, "Integrate the telegraph network, mobilize the company's agents lurking in the enemy, conspire with the maple leaf danlin, and coordinate the battle plan with the elven navy......
Every single thing was a troublesome thing, and I didn't expect that we would actually do it. ”
Speaking of Adele's proudly tall chests, revealing her plump breasts, as long as it is not with Verabi, Adele is still very confident in her figure.
Princess Lulu glanced at it secretly, then looked down at her chest, pouted helplessly, with a bitter expression, and secretly hesitated in her heart: should I add more bottles of papaya milk at night.
Catherine nodded, proud that the girls were able to take the lead and complete this seemingly impossible task in ten days.
It is not modest to say that this is the most widespread, most complex, and most successful war plan to date.
Of course, there are also the crucial merits of venture capital firms.
Just to explore the true goal of the undead clan's war fortress and report it to the Maple Leaf Danlin to take off and cooperate, it is a risky thing.
Not to mention contacting the Elven Navy fleet all the way to get them to show up on the battlefield on time.
The absence of any link can lead to disastrous consequences.
Even hundreds of years later, it's still incredible to think of it.
"But then," Catherine's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said worriedly, "my father is under a lot of pressure. ”
Lorraine's victory at the Vatino will certainly affect the battle that Julius commanded and is about to start near the city of Jouman.
And the pressure on Archduke Julian was actually greater than that of Lorraine.
The Semitic Northern Route Army had nearly 400,000 people, and in the hands of the Grand Duke, there were less than 300,000.
700,000 soldiers fought to the death on the battlefield, and it was destined to be an extremely difficult battle to completely destroy the enemy.
The news of the Vatino's victory spread overnight along the telegraph line to the major countries of the continent, and then to the guò newspapers, and then to the common people in a single day.
The people of the city of Ruman also put on their own lights and spontaneously marched through the streets to cheer the victory on the Western Front in front of the palace.
As they celebrated loudly, they also turned their attention to another, more urgent war that was going on at the same time, and the 400,000 Semitic army was already not far from the city of Ruman.
Even when the people of the city were cheering, they looked worried.
In an inconspicuous part of the city, a great victory was spread out on the table, and several people sat around the table, silent.
Agent Forty-Nine carefully wiped the new revolver he had just gotten his hands on, until there was not a single fingerprint on it, and then he assembled them satisfactorily, took them in the palm of his hand and turned them around twice, and inserted them into the holster in a chic manner.
The door to the room suddenly opened, revealing a glimmer of light and a chubby figure, and everyone stood up and looked at him with concern.
"The company called, closed the network. (To be continued.) )
