Because the rebels suddenly occupied a large area of Shidi, the imperial government under Queen Isabella,

And ordinary people in Almohad, the people from top to bottom are boiling with resentment.

In the past, when the new army could still hold the enemy at the Zamibiya River, the war would not spread to the interior, and the capital Abdewad was still singing and dancing, and the vast majority of the people did not have an intuitive feeling about that war.

In social places such as bars, teahouses, dance parties, etc., when people talk about the war, they are in a joke mentality.

More often than not, it is the newly promulgated tax policies such as consumption tax and carbon emission tax that have been newly promulgated by the government, and they are full of scolding.

What a bunch of puppies who only scrape the ground. ,... "Grab so much money to cure huā willow." "Wait, wait, chapter 1007, great progress (asking for a monthly pass), in short, it's very yellow and violent.

After all, the war is far away, and the tax collector puppies who take the money from their own pockets are very close. Maybe you'll just turn a corner.

But now things have changed.

As soon as the news came out that the enemy had crossed the Zamibia River and was beginning to advance northward, panic arose.

Everyone hated it very much: those puppies really had enough food buckets. Didn't stop the enemy's attack?

Isn't it possible for the enemy to be killed at any time?

It is said that those southerners are poor and unreasonable. And everyone is blue-faced and fanged, eight feet tall, and has a waist circumference of eight feet, and they don't wash their hands when they finish stool, and they eat human flesh or something. Extremely savage. likes to rob money, things, and women, and in the end, in order to cover up the evidence,

Set another fire......

As soon as they kill them, won't the belongings they have worked so hard to save, the goddaughter of Shui Lingling, who just recognized, all be gone?

That's just that, the most terrifying thing is that those dogs still like to kill people indiscriminately~!

Who can bear this?

The big guys are now sitting together, all of them are extremely consistent, complaining about the New Army's ineffective crackdown on bandits, and scolding at those bitch cubs Chapter 1007 for their great progress (asking for a monthly ticket), hoping that they can fight a little.

At this time, they realized how precious it was for them to live in peace here.

For the sake of this hard-won peace, the big guys would rather squeeze a little more money out of their already small pockets to support the army.

The top and bottom of the Almohad Empire were united as one.

God is pitiful, you know, this is the first time since Queen Isabella came to power, it has been unanimously supported by the people in a real sense.

Even when the new army goes down to recruit soldiers, they no longer need to carry a small rope, which has a 160% bonus to the recruitment work.

The small and medium-sized nobles living in the towns and villages, as well as the small and medium-sized landowners, were no longer obstructive to the conscription work.

Although they were still reluctant to join the army themselves or their sons, they actively cooperated with the recruitment process and encouraged the rest of the village to join the army. Even those who joined the army were assured that their families would be given preferential treatment and corresponding help. Take them away from worry.

You know, that's a great step forward.

In the past, when the army was recruited, all the gendarmes with brigades took advantage of the middle of the night to sneak into the village.

Wait until all the roads in and out of the village are blocked, and then you start to let go of the strong men, not that you start to let go of the voluntary conscription.

Although the tragic and enthusiastic conscription situation in the middle did not reach the kind of Cheng dù described in "The Stone Trench Officer", it was not much worse.

But in spite of this, the people found that their efforts were so insignificant that the situation seemed to be getting worse and worse.

The new army retreated more than a dozen times faster than when the offensive was launched.

In the four provinces north of the Zamibia River, one township after another, and one city after another, fell.

The battle report from the front line every day is that a certain area was invaded by rebels, and the heroic and fearless royal legions of our empire fought bloodily, killing as many enemies as they wanted, and then turned into victory.

The corpses of the rebels piled up like a mountain, and the enemy chieftain helplessly lamented that "Shake the three easys, shake the royal army."

And then add the glorious deeds of a certain soldier who held his position alone and swore to die. Attached is a letter from a mother to her son on the front.

Of course, every few days it has to be replaced by a newlywed wife's letter to her husband at the front.

The content is to kill the enemy to serve the country, defend the fruits of victory won by Her Majesty the Empress, and fight to the end with the reactionary careerists of Hadou and his gang who are despicable and shameless, and do not hesitate to destroy the good situation of stability and unity of the empire for their own selfishness.

The content of the letter is heartfelt, and it is inspiring to read.

Those news reports are exciting to read, and make people's blood boil, and I can't wait to copy the guy and fight the rebels at that time.

Almohads sent a battle report, and Lorraine turned it over every time. When you finish turning it, you will vomit, and when you finish spitting it out, you will turn it again.

And every time he vomits, he sighs: The pen that writes war reports is really a good pen, and it's a pity not to write novels if you have the strength, it is definitely popular among thousands of otaku. Accidentally, it is also a masterpiece of the "plum huā in the golden bottle" level.

Why fool the dead people, those guys are poor and arbitrary, and they can be deceived by these imperial officials?

Within a few days, those ordinary people came back to their senses, what is the meaning of "victory to enter"?

Isn't Nima just retreating~!

After fighting a battle and retreating dozens of miles, losing a few cities, and now there is still the face to say that victory has turned in?

In the past half a month, the new army has lost half of the province. The people who supported Queen Almohad were also getting more and more angry about the dogs. The rage value is getting higher and higher, and the anger is all aimed at the New Army.

The common people even made up a lot of jokes to mock the commander of the new army, General Hassel.

It is said that after a certain war, on the way of the victorious transfer of the new army, General Hassell walked all the way, and then kicked away a wild rabbit and shouted: "Get out of here,

Let those who can run run first."

Or "A frightened deserter who went to war was stopped by General Hassel." The general scolded him with great anger: "Soldier, do you know who I am? I am General Hassel." The soldier was stunned for a moment and said, "God, I didn't expect me to be able to run so far all at once~."

~"The imperial government is also anxious about this, and they can only put on an unfathomable appearance, telling the dead people: "Your Majesty is making a bowl of fried noodles with a very big bowl of fried noodles............... After all, this matter involves military secrets. Everyone can't explain to the common people that this tactic was formulated by Queen Isabella and a kind of high-level bigwigs.

Moreover, there is a positive side to this matter.

Although I endure the ridicule for a while now, when things come true in the future, I will definitely make those ordinary people happy and convinced. When I fool them again in the future, as long as I talk about this old thing, I believe that I can definitely fool them.

However, because of this, the current situation is not optimistic.

As time passed, all kinds of grievances were accumulating.

Almost all the blame was placed on the new army, and the Almohad Empire had become extremely unquiet because of the loss of land during this period of time, and all kinds of strange rumors were secretly circulating under the table.

"The hen Si Chen, it is against the norms.

"The queen is a woman with long hair and short knowledge, and she hasn't been deceived. ”

"The Prime Minister, his gang of incompetents, and the Umbrella Greed are all rubbish. "The peacekeepers only eat and don't fight, and that strange uncle, Grand Duke Julius, is obviously hiding evil intentions. ”

"It's not as good as it used to be. ”

“...............”

The staff officer who introduced the current situation secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the few bigwigs in front of him, and said loudly: "The current situation is like this. The rebels' offensive has reached its limit and is showing signs of fatigue. At present, the Forces nouvelles are mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare in small units. In the next stage, changes are likely to occur on the battlefield.

In addition, the latest movements in the Almohad government's control area deserve our vigilance. The spearhead of public opinion has been pointed at the Queen's Government and our peacekeepers. The general population is becoming more and more unkind to us.

The Ministry of Intelligence has analyzed that it is likely that someone is behind the scenes, and the motive is unknown, and further investigation is currently underway. ”

Catherine sneered disdainfully and said, "What else can be the reason? Fishing in troubled waters, how to fish in muddy waters, if you don't muddy the water, how to fish. ”

Lorraine knew in her heart that it was probably the old and young people of the previous government who let go of the wind.

After Queen Isabella took power, they all lost power, and the good life they had before was gone, and their hearts just couldn't balance, and when they had an opportunity, they would rush to fan the flames and want to plot something.

Catherine snorted and said, "Do you want me to say, some people just can't do anything other than be like a vixen, and they will charm some men who are not firm in their positions." The wrist is only average. Then I saw Adele next to me casting a smiling gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then realized that it was a real fox spirit who brought disaster to the country and the people, and saying others in front of her was not equivalent to pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man?

She couldn't help but spit out her pink tongue in apology.

But Adele smiled, and then muttered: "Women, when you talk about others, you can't always see yourself." This is the weakness of all women. ”

Catherine couldn't help but tilt her head, wondering in her heart: what did she mean by this?

But then he subconsciously ignored the past, and then continued to say to the Grand Duke: "If you want me to say, that damn pest should have been eliminated a long time ago, and they should have been kept for a long time, and they would come out at a critical moment to buzz and make trouble." ”

Grand Duke Julian coughed lightly and said, "Sometimes for the sake of the stability of the regime, it is also unacceptable. Lorraine smiled slightly, Catherine was used to being strong, and she was never soft on disobedient people. However, what Archduke Julius said also made sense, and if the rebels were killed, it would easily cause a backlash and cause chaos.

These are two different governing philosophies, and it is impossible to say which is better or worse, and both have advantages and disadvantages.

Lorraine pressed Catherine's hand and said, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with us, let them have their own headaches." ”

Catherine nodded, glanced at the Grand Duke, and said, "That's right, I'm tired enough just to be optimistic about this big and small not to make mistakes." Archduke Julius could only smile helplessly.

At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Leo was sweating profusely and hurried in from outside.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted loudly: "Why are you still here? Go, look at the excitement, a large group of people are blocking the palace, and they are making a fuss." 、，

Archduke Julius's face sank, and he was the first to ask, "What's the matter?" Leo, come over and talk slowly. Leo waved his hand and said, "A group of guys who don't know where they came from blocked the gate of the palace, saying that they want to petition." It's already going on. ”

Grand Duke Julius patted the armrest and stood up, and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

In front of the Almohad Palace is a wide field, in front of the palace gate is a forbidden place, usually not allowed to approach the common people, by the Almohads royal guard on duty.

It's just that at this moment, hundreds of ragged people gathered in front of the palace gate. There was everyone in the group, not only the elderly, but also women and children who could not walk.

They knelt on the hot ground against the scorching sun above their heads.

Under the sun, the temperature of the stone floor is more than 60 degrees.

They were all unclothed, and the women were a little better, with strips of rags covering them, and most of the men were wearing only a pair of tattered shorts.

All of them were emaciated, dark, their ribs were exposed, their faces were yellow, and they had obviously been hungry for a long time.

Many of them were visibly wounded, some were wrapped in black gauze to reveal bloody wounds, and lived with rudimentary digital crutches.

There was a foul stench coming from them, and a large swarm of flies could be seen flying around them in the distance.

These people are clearly a large group of refugees.

The forbidden army at the gate looked at them with a helpless look, and kept shouting: "Palace Forbidden Land, quit." Get out~!"

A thin old man at the front kept kneeling and kowtowing in front of the forbidden army.

A large group of people also gathered at the entrance of the headquarters of the peacekeeping force, looking in the direction of the palace gate.

Lorraine pulled one of the gendarmes at the door and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

The gendarme said: "That group of people is said to be refugees from the occupied area and came to the palace to petition. ”

Lorraine frowned, thinking, "No, there is a problem. ”

Then he said to Catherine, "Wait here, don't go out." In addition, it was ordered to strengthen the defense of the headquarters. ”

Catherine asked suspiciously, "What's the problem?"

Lorraine shook his head and said, "Do you think it's possible for a group of war refugees to walk from the occupied area to the imperial city alive, and the government will not stop them all the way?"

Catherine instantly understood that this kind of petitioning in Beijing has always been a taboo for the local government, and if it is dealt with severely, there are more than a thousand miles from the fallen area Dao Imperial City, and if no one supports them behind the scenes, they will never be able to reach the Imperial City.

Catherine said angrily, "This is someone who has done evil. ”

Lorraine waved his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”

As he spoke, he exchanged words with the person next to him, took a hat and buckled it on his head, squeezed out of the crowd and walked over.

In front of the palace gate, a large group of residents of the imperial city gathered in the black press, and it seemed that there were 30,000 onlookers, and it was constantly increasing.

Blocking the gate of the palace to petition, this thing has not happened once in decades, even if it is a high temperature of 40 degrees, it cannot organize the enthusiasm of the common people to watch.

Lorraine lowered her hat and squeezed into the crowd, slowly walking to the vicinity of the refugees.

The stench of the forbidden ninja said angrily: "Breaking into the palace ban is a crime of beheading, seeing that you are refugees, this time I don't care, and quickly quit." Unmoved, the refugees knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please let the Empress be the master for us." ”

Immediately afterward, hundreds of them shouted along with each other.

The loudness of the strange car overshadowed the noise in the field and spread far away.

The forbidden army officer suddenly became anxious, drew his long sword and pointed it at the old man at the leader, and shouted: "Go out, if you don't go out, I will kill you." ”

The old man suddenly pounced on the tip of the forbidden army's sword and shouted, "Kill me, we won't survive anyway." ”

The forbidden army hurriedly withdrew his sword and retreated, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The old man threw himself to the ground and began to cry and cry as he cried: "God doesn't open his eyes, how can we live." The family is gone, and the sons and daughters are dead. I'm the old man, I'm ............... alone."

The refugees behind the old man cried loudly and told the people around them about their tragic experiences.

The Almohads around Lorraine all had sad expressions on their faces, shook their heads and said, "... It's so miserable, it's so miserable."

"The Forces nouvelles are incompetent, a bunch of fools. ”

"The queen should come out too. You can't leave people dry, they're all Almohads.

"Even the queen is too cold-blooded. ”

"I knew what I was going to do with this battle? Hmph, woman, woe to the country and the people. ”

Lorraine swept the people who spoke nearby with cold eyes, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and public opinion had a tendency to get out of control.

Someone nearby suddenly shouted, "Wei is still incompetent, the new army is incompetent~!"

The anger accumulated by the surrounding masses because of the defeat and tax hike broke out all of a sudden, and they felt that this sentence was too right.

Prime Minister Vishan is indeed incompetent, unable to prevent the outbreak of the civil war, but also unable to quell the civil war, because of this war, the life of the common people is much more difficult.

It is true that the new army is a group of rice buckets, and they have fought two big defeats in a row, and now they are constantly retreating and fleeing.

Thinking along this line of thought, is Queen Isabella, as their boss, also incompetent?

A: Of course, yes.

"Wei Shang has brought disaster to the country and the people, and wants him to step down, step down~!" "**, we want to reform~!"

"We want to reform~!"

"Reform the government, reform the army. ”

Lorraine glanced carefully through the crowd and found that the voice of the leader shouting always came from a fixed direction. The crowd is too dense to spot them.

The people in the neighborhood are talking a lot, in this world, except for the dictatorial government, everyone is always dissatisfied with the government, as the old saying goes, pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother. Ordinary people are satisfied with the dictatorship because they dare not be dissatisfied.

"Alas...... Our days are indeed not as good as before. "It's another tax increase, another levy, and another conscription, do you still have to persuade donations, can the fuck get better?"

"A bunch of people in the government are all-eaters, and they only scrape from the common people. Incompetence. ”

"You see how good the Ruman people are, who dares to raise taxes indiscriminately, the Senate will not agree in the first place. ”

"Damn, if you have money, I'll emigrate. This hellish place, what kind of home should the queen be. Raising a bunch of bastards in the peacekeeping force does not do things, and the army always loses battles. It's better to let Haddou come. ”

“......”

Lorraine looked around, and the emotions of the crowd were getting higher and higher, and even he himself cooperated with the gathering of fists, so as not to be seen as abnormal.

"The situation is going to get out of control~!" Lorraine said secretly in his heart, thinking about whether to send peacekeepers to disperse them. ！！！
