In literature, film and television works with the theme of the struggle behind enemy lines during the Anti-Japanese War, there is often a sentence - "facing complex forms of struggle". Those who have not experienced the smoke and flames of gunfire in later generations may not feel this at all, but in fact the real situation should be described as "a mess" or "unbelievable chaos" to explain the problem.

In fact, not only on the battlefield of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, any armed struggle behind enemy lines is faced with extremely complex forms, and Charlemagne's border area is no different.

Charlemagne's mountain people may not be as fierce as the mountain elves and Serres, but they are no less unruly, and as poor people, they are not interested in anything other than religion and the so-called "rules of the mountains". Even in the era when Charlemagne's **** thinking was the most rampant, the mountain people did not go crazy with it. It was only when Charlemagne surrendered and the arrogant elven officials came to take over the administration that the situation changed, and it only took a short time for the rebellion to become the consensus of the mountain people.

It's not that the elf officials look ugly, just like the government after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, where they go to loot and confiscate the "pseudo-reverse property", bully men and women, and bend the law for bribes.

The technocrats trained by Alfheim have always been better than their foreign counterparts in terms of ethics, and no one dares to defy the law under the strict system of supervision and reward and punishment regulations. In addition, the officials assigned to undertake the receiving tasks have been carefully trained and selected by the civilian official training system, and there is no problem in terms of operational ability. If there are any shortcomings, it can only be said that the official training system in Alfheim has taught and trained everything, except for the "humanization" - more specifically the humanization of the fourth-class citizen citizen, which is completely blank.

The Yalfheim bureaucracy has always regarded performance as the only hard indicator of the bureaucratic appraisal system, and has never taken "humanization" into account. In their own words, "improving work efficiency and performance is the greatest humanity". As for the attitude towards citizens of the fourth class, the whole social atmosphere is there, and it is useless to blame the bureaucracy.

So, the elven officials came to the border mountains with their usual rigid and impersonal style, and when they collided with the mountain people who had been living according to the ancient rules, they immediately sparked a spark of resistance.

The tipping point of almost all revolts is the issue of taxes, and this one is no exception. Charlemagne's mountain people in the border area have a long history of tax resistance and smuggling, and at the peak of the tax resistance, the tax collectors sent by Lüders were burned, hacked to death, and thrown off cliffs. As a result, the army could only be dispatched to suppress it, but in the end, it was still not possible to collect the poll tax. Now the sharp-eared ghost animals will resume tax collection as soon as they come, and at the same time, border access control will be strengthened. The mountain people who had cut off a large source of income and had taken on new economic pressures certainly did not do it, and the elven officials were full of a sense of mission to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty the Emperor, and they also had no intention of backing down. This was the beginning of a tragic struggle.

Under normal conditions, no matter how fierce the mountain people are, they are just armed civilians with better individual soldier quality, and they cannot be compared with well-trained professional armies. At first, the mountain people did not dare to challenge the regular troops in person, and their confrontation was limited to secretly cutting telephone lines, ambushing signal soldiers who were checking the lines, and setting traps on the roads that the tax collectors had to pass, which also caused some trouble for the local garrison. However, the local garrison is mainly focused on blocking the border and supply lines, and as long as the mountain people do not attack the supply lines or deliberately harass the military camps and border posts, they do not bother to take care of it (in fact, they are not free to take care of it, and most of the troops are distributed along the border line to prevent anyone from sneaking through).

With the purge of various armed forces in the interior, a large number of armed men fled into the mountains, including personal guards who had lost their employers, gangsters who had slipped through the net, gangsters who had slipped through the net, wanted bandits, and idealists with a strong revolutionary stance, and most importantly, soldiers of the former Kingdom Army who had been dispersed, who were soon absorbed into their ranks by guerrillas who were in dire need of reinforcement.

These soldiers, though of average quality, were at least formally trained, and were more courageous than ordinary people in attacking small occupying forces. More importantly, they have all fought with the pointy-eared people, and not to mention whether they are good at fighting, at least they have combat experience and know some of the opponent's action patterns and operational characteristics, which is exactly what the guerrillas urgently need.

Armed with all sorts of armed men, guerrillas of all stripes sprung up in the Alps, along the borders of Charlemagne and Serres. There are as many as 30 or 40 guerrilla forces of all kinds, ranging from a dozen to at least 500 or 600 people, and the size of the gang depends on the resources at the disposal of the leader. At this time, as long as you can get money, food, guns and bullets, you can pull up a team in the blink of an eye. For a time, there were many commanders like dogs, and the commanders walked all over the ground. There is quite an atmosphere of warlords separating and dominating one side.

It was also after this group of people joined that the life of the local garrison began to become more and more difficult, and finally they had to ask their superiors for support. As a result, there was the entry of the "Prince Eugen" brigade and a series of events.

Up to this point, the Defence Forces have not used force to forcibly suppress all kinds of armed groups in the areas under their control, as others expected, but have deliberately added fuel to the fire and secretly promoted the development of certain forces.

The Defence Forces traded with some bandit gangs under the guerrilla banner in exchange for various supplies to ensure local security and provide all kinds of information, ranging from food, medicine, and clothing to weapons and ammunition that were urgently needed by all the armed forces. In keeping with the usual shrewdness of the elven merchants, Charlemagne's weapons stored in the warehouse were taken out. These second-hand weapons are all sold by kilograms, although they are all second-hand, but they are still in very good condition, for example, each single-shot breech-loading rifle has a small label on it - Charlemagne's rifle, brand new, never used, only when surrendering because the original owner was rude and was thrown once. The most attractive thing is the means of payment proposed by the pointy ears, cash and intelligence, but it really can't be done, and other guerrillas can send it, and it doesn't matter if they live or die.

So the guerrillas of different factions began to attack each other, dividing their spheres of influence out of corpses, they were extremely keen on killing each other, and then used the heads of the guerrillas of the opposing faction (the heads were easier to carry and carry than living people who had to consume food, and there was no need to worry about escaping) to the occupying forces in exchange for food and guns.

To the outside, the Alps seem to be in harmony with each other, and the situation is starting to become uncontrollable. However, if a professional carefully observes the situation and compares the various information and intelligence in his hands, he will find that there is actually a delicate balance between these gangs, and the weight of controlling the scales has always been firmly in the hands of the Imperial Defense Forces.
