Due to the smooth flow of information and the field telegraph network set up by the Guò communication troops, when Amu and the others had a fierce battle with the enemy in the town, the news had already reached the headquarters of the deputy commander-in-chief of Lorraine, who was located in the rear.

When the staff officers on duty in the headquarters received the report, and then briefly summarized it, they were immediately surprised to find that this kind of small-scale fierce battle was not only in the town, but on the long forward line of the front of the army, which was three hundred miles wide.

Of course, it is impossible for the nearly 500,000 soldiers of the coalition army to be crowded together, and the large army is divided into several routes, each with its own different tasks and goals.

Now they are encountering the enemy in almost the same amount of time, and it is clear that the other side is organized and planned.

This also shows that the enemy has finally reacted and started to act~!

Judging from the scale and duration of the battle, it is only a tentative attack now, and I believe that in the future, the enemy will inevitably have a decisive battle with himself~!

The sensitive noses of the staff officers immediately smelled a smell of impending wind and rain.

After coming to this conclusion, all the officers were in high spirits: It's finally coming~!

All along, the army drove straight in, and everywhere they went, the guards all raised their flags and raised their righteousness, salty and revital, and never encountered any large-scale resistance.

Although the People's Alliance Army held high the banner and marched bravely on the bright road, winning one great victory after another, liberating batch after batch of Semitic people who were brutally ruled by the undead, bringing them nation and freedom, and taking the money of those nobles by the way.

But for the soldiers, this kind of victory really makes everyone lose their spirits. Because everyone has been marching there all the time, and they haven't even fired a few shots.

When you are far away from your hometown and come here thousands of miles away from the ocean, you are not engaged in armed cross-country exercises, but you are looking for military merits, wealth and rewards.

Without the results of the war, there will naturally be no military merits.

For military men. Especially for the followers of the God of Light who are preparing to fight the evil Necromancer High Priest and necromancer, this is simply a humiliation.

And now I finally have the opportunity to show my strength and show my talents.

The staff officers even immediately shouted the slogan "Defeat Arcaderin, capture Madorins alive".

In Lorraine's big tent, Second Master Lei watched the officers in high spirits. It looked like he had received two injections of chicken blood, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful: What's so good about this war? Holding machine guns and artillery fighters, bullying a group of natives with only big blades.

Just throwing money out, a mouse popping out also called for artillery support, and the cannon was like playing, but it couldn't get in and out. A bunch of losers~!

Isn't it a small amount of money that you have worked hard to make in the back?

It's really not as happy as a few days ago, when everyone surrendered and collected taxes everywhere.

Lei Erye, director of the State Administration of Taxation, really received cramps in his hands when he received money, and he would wake up laughing every night when he dreamed.

He looked at Lorraine, but saw that Lorraine was bowing his head, his hands shaking like cramps, and he was busy signing a copy of the document as the commander of the army. The commander-in-chief of the front line, the deputy commander-in-chief of the human coalition, sounds very imposing, looks very imposing, and in fact it is indeed very imposing.

As written in many knight novels, sitting in front of the Chinese military tent, his hand pointing on the map, and shouting "Little ones." Give it to me", and then thousands of troops rushed over.

But in fact, it's not like this at all~!

In large-scale operations of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, the effectiveness of the commander-in-chief has been greatly weakened. All kinds of war plans are basically pre-planned.

In light of the actual situation, the staff officers made various additions and adjustments and revised the battle plan. Then he brought it to him and asked him to sign it as a combat order.

Finally, it is handed over to the junior officers of each department, who are then responsible for the specific implementation according to the various conditions on the battlefield.

As the most senior commander. The most taboo thing is to command indiscriminately in the back, because that will interfere with the officers' battlefield command.

The shape of the battlefield is complex and changeable, and it changes all the time, and only the officers who are on the front line can adopt corresponding tactics according to the changes in the shape of the battlefield.

High-ranking officers such as brigade captains and corps commanders do this job, and they can only do it.

It is extremely undesirable to just sit in the rear headquarters and pat yourself on the butt and knock your head on the front line.

If it is small, it will delay the fighter plane, and if it is large, it will lose its division and miss the country.

Heroes like Hitler and President Chiang often made mistakes like this, so they were defeated.

He is thousands of miles away, but he remotely commands a regiment and a division on the front line, and he insists on going his own way, ignoring the advice of the front-line officers.

It is only in skirmishes that commanders can play a decisive role, for example, in World War I Hitler was a good squad leader, and perhaps it would be no problem to command a company. But no more...... Any more, it's beyond his reach.

And with an army of millions commanded like Lord Luo, it is not impossible for him to go down to command, but there are dozens, even hundreds, of battles going on every day, even if he is a superman, he has to die of exhaustion.

What's more, it's really too childish to do this, as if the world is powerful by itself, is it an idiot to be another general?

And Lord Luo is not the most bitter, the most bitter is Archduke Julius.

Lorraine only had to look at the battle plan every day, ask about the progress, and adjust the army, which was mostly paper work.

As the supreme commander of the army, the Grand Duke Julius was responsible for the daily allocation of military supplies, quarrels with the officials of the Semitic Provisional Government, and the settlement of disputes.

As with Eisenhower's landing in Normandy, the decision he really needed to make to his army was to sign the order to go to war when the army was at the beginning: I gave the order to attack, and I was willing to take all the responsibility that might come with defeat.

If you win, everyone has worked hard and has merit, and if you lose, the leader is stupid, so it is best to pick up a small pistol and put it on your head.

After all, if you want to eat well, you have to be prepared to be beaten.

It was a long time later. Lorraine signed all the orders in front of her, and this was the end of it.

The rest of the matter will be handed over to the subordinate commanders under their command, and they will turn the orders issued by Lord Lorraine into reality and the results of the battle, after all, Lord Luo raised them, not to let them just eat and not work.

Leo saw the opportunity and leaned in. He whispered, "Boss, why don't we try to recruit them, just like we did before?"

Thousands of miles along the way, Lord Lorraine always salutes first and then soldiers, and sends people from the provisional government to dredge up the relationship first, and everyone is very face-saving, and they surrender with one move.

Lorraine was stunned. Then he turned his head to look at Lei Er's clear eyes and couldn't help sighing. This little rascal is also a door-slamming goods...... Wait, why do I say 'too'?

The lord shivered, shook his head vigorously, threw aside the strange thoughts in his head, then pouted, and said angrily, "It's not that we don't want to recruit them. But it is impossible to recruit them. ”

Director Leo blinked and said strangely, "Why? Didn't you say that having money can not only make ghosts push ghosts, but also make them push ghosts?"

As long as there are enough benefits, they will not be moved? If these people are also reduced, how much military spending can we save. ”

Lorraine couldn't help but sigh again: Lei Er's current worldview is very problematic~!

I don't know how Nicole's eight women were educated, and a good child was badly educated.

But now Lei Er is following him, just to let him absorb all kinds of knowledge. Insight into the world so that you can become a wise man in the future.

At the very least, you can't be a guy like 'Uncle' who has been deceived by Russell's traitor...... Guy'...... Well, this is not what Leo said, Lei Er Ye thinks that his uncle is a good person, and he gives himself a gift every time he goes, although many times he doesn't know it, the gift has already been accepted by himself first.

Naturally, this is not Lord Luo. Having personal experience of Emperor Rudren's insidiousness and cunning Lord Lorraine, the old guy is definitely not a good bird.

This sentence was said by Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine. It can also be seen how much Catherine hates Prime Minister Russell.

And judging by the long pause at the end of that sentence. Lord Lowe was skeptical, and Catherine was going to use the word 'fool' as an object.

But now judging from Leo's table, this little rascal monkey spirit monkey spirit will definitely not become like his uncle, but if you want to become a Ming Jun, there is still a long way to go~!

Lorraine patiently explained to Leo, "You're right. But the question is, are we worth it?"

Leo was stunned for a moment.

Lorraine continued: "In the past, because of the perverse actions of Madorins, the governors of the provinces were all in danger. Moreover, Captain Pat and Captain Hawkes of the Praetorian Guard have extremely high prestige in the army.

As long as we send someone to take out their letter, pay a visit, and promise them that their official position will not change. Naturally, they are willing to defect.

After all, who is the official to be, isn't it?

Although the republican government made a little less money, it was not life-threatening. And in the old government, it could be purged by Madorins at any time. ”

Leo said impatiently: "I understand all of this, say but, hurry up, you say but." ”

Lorraine sighed, this bear child is getting less and less cute. "Okay, but ......"

He paused, accentuated his tone, and said, "But, now that we're close to Madolins' lair, it's all his hardcore little brother.

Although we can bring it down with some effort, there is no need for that. ”

Leo tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Why?"

Lorraine spread her hands and explained: "The reason is simple, they are all vested interests.

After a coup d'état and a purge of the Great Purge, the entire wealth of Psychic was in their hands. We can only tempt them with more money and higher status, you say, is it necessary?"

Leo's eyes widened suddenly, he clenched his fists and slammed them on the desk, shouting excitedly, "His grandmother's really has to kill them." Otherwise, how can we rob their money openly~!"

Lorraine suddenly felt a little headache, rubbed his temples, and then continued: "You are right, those people raised themselves so fat, we don't kill others cheaply."

The other thing is that they are enemies with Pat, Hawkes, and President Bullard. They all know that even if we can let them go, President Bullard and the others won't let them go......"

The fate of these men was already decided when the coalition forces set foot in the Caribbean.

Lorraine said this. Suddenly, he found that Leo didn't continue to listen to himself at all, but turned his head to look in the direction of Arcadherine in the distance, his eyes were shining with golden light, and he looked demented, and muttered: "The whole Lingshan's wealth, a lot of small money......"

As he spoke, a bright stream of saliva seemed to flow from the corner of his mouth.

Lei Erye was serving as the director of the General Administration of Taxation of the Semitic Republic at the same time. He is also the president of the Flying Eagle Bank and the largest creditor of the Semitic Republican government.

Lorraine couldn't help but knock on the table and said angrily, "Hey, hey, did you hear what I said?"

Leo was stunned for a moment, then reacted. Hurriedly wiped a handful of saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then said, "I heard it." Heard it...... Uh, that's right. What did you just say? I'm sorry, I thought about something very important just now, and I couldn't help but get distracted. ”

Lorraine snorted coldly and said, "What did you think of?"

Leo paused for a moment, then said, "I'm thinking...... I wonder what the people in Akaderine are thinking......"

xxxxxxx

Although it is early summer, it is the grass that grows and the warbler flies. It's a season of birds and flowers, but in the city of Arkadeline, I can't help but feel a little bleak and cold, as if the harsh winter has not yet passed.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and they were all with their heads bowed and their steps hurried. Even if they saw acquaintances, they only nodded slightly, as a greeting, and then dispersed.

Many of the shops on both sides of the street were closed. The doors and windows were nailed shut by thick formwork, allowing all kinds of weeds to grow wildly at will.

Even the shops that are still open are all listless, and the furnishings inside are extremely scarce.

The boys were all yawning boredly, or staring blankly at the street, or just sleeping somewhere.

The shopkeepers who were originally extremely strict with their guys also turned a blind eye at this time, and couldn't help but lament with sad faces.

The whole city seems to have lost all its vitality, like an old man on the verge of a tree. Not at all. It was once the most prosperous and prosperous city on the mainland, with 600,000 people living here at its peak.

Occasionally, a knight with an arrogant demeanor whistled through the streets.

The resentful people only secretly scolded a few words in the back after seeing their distant backs become smaller.

This kind of street riding was never possible in Akadeline. It's a pity that after the mutiny. Shaozhuang sent soldiers to power. They changed the rules for their own convenience.

In the beginning, every day there were unlucky people who fell under their iron hooves, and in the eyes of the horsemen, it was entirely the responsibility of the dead people, and I had to go to my horse and deserve to die.

But later, these ordinary people learned much more savvy. Everyone has learned to walk along the wall, which can be regarded as reducing the accident rate, which is already high.

But in this way, the blow to urban commerce is extremely heavy. None of the people dare to wander the streets, who sells the things in the shops?

However, the taxes collected by the government are getting heavier and heavier, and in order to survive, the store pù has to raise the price. This, in turn, dealt another blow to the economy, with the result that quite a few shops closed their doors.

In order to maintain its own taxes, the government had to raise taxes again, and as a result, some shops closed again. In this way, a vicious circle is formed.

Prices have soared, and slowly even the purchase channels have been cut off.

However, the cultural and entertainment industry, the pillar industry of the Semitic tertiary industry, has won its spring and developed vigorously.

Every night, there are constant singing and dancing in the red light district.

Officers and government officials simply couldn't spend it because they had a lot of gold coins in their hands. Therefore, all of them came to consume, often drunk and dreamed of death, and stayed up all night.

In the middle of the night, laughter and music can be heard clearly from the red light district throughout the city.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, sell newspapers......" A ragged newsboy walked down the street barefoot, shouting loudly.

In his hand was a large stack of "Lingshan Daily".

This newspaper was set up by Madolins at great expense after being scolded by the Caribbean Times. Specifically used to fight against the Caribbean Times.

However, the newspaper has not been selling well.

In many cases, in order to increase sales and increase market share, they have to deliver for free.

But because the paper is so poor, when people wipe their buttocks, they often accidentally break it and then stick to their fingers, so it is far less popular than the Caribbean Times. And in terms of credibility, it's also a bit poor.

For example, soon after the start of the war, they predicted that although the human army would attack, the human army would be far from being a match for the powerful Semitic army. Governor of the province of Morondo, General Perros was a battle-hardened and experienced general. That handful of remnants of the human army will inevitably be attacked head-on by him~!

But then the Caribbean Times came with news of General Perros's uprising. And it also brought a photo of General Perros and President Bullard together.

"Lingshan Times" said that the people of our Semitic tribe are united in their hearts and minds, and they do not share the sky with the enemy. The heroic people spontaneously took up arms one after another and fought bloody battles against the evil invaders, so that the enemy fell into the vast sea of people's war and could not extricate themselves.

The Caribbean Times immediately told the people that wherever the human coalition army went, the people ate pot pulp to welcome the king, and printed a large number of photographs, on which the common people who had divided the land laughed brightly.

The "Lingshan Times" then announced again that we were playing a big, big game of mahjong, and that our army was actually luring the enemy deep into the game and striving to fight a protracted war. Although they have been retreating, they are trying to lengthen the enemy's supply lines as much as possible.

The Caribbean Times strongly agrees with this, and hopes that the old government forces of Lingshan can continue to retreat, preferably to Thunderling, in which case the supply lines of the human army will be longer.

After several rounds of teaching, the "Flash Times" finally came up with a trick, and immediately announced: Anyone who peeks at the "Caribbean Times" is illegal. As soon as it is discovered, it will be executed immediately~!

The Caribbean Times expressed strong indignation and condemnation of this kind of hooliganism, but since then, the "Flash Times" has never accepted it again.

Every day, in addition to Madorins' speeches, they made some lace news. What kind of women's emotions, the main room is scheming and fighting the junior, how to get rid of small pimples...... And so on and so forth, the editors of the Caribbean Times could only sigh and sigh for themselves.

In the royal palace of Arcaderin, Madorins raised the wine glass in his hand with a stern face, and said to the generals in front of him: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rise and fall of the empire is fought here. I hope you will work hard to move forward~!"

The generals raised their wine glasses one after another, and said in unison: "Long live our clan~!"

He then drank on his back, and then slammed the expensive imported wine glass in his hand to the ground.

With a 'snap', I saw countless crystal fragments splashing around, like broken jade.
