26.The Destruction of the Kingdom (9)

"It is a miracle that the enemy stops to recuperate, which Mother God has given us. We need to hurry up and rebuild the army, and at most 500,000 well-trained troops will be out of the barracks in a week. In addition, one million People's Stormtroopers have been trained, and many more are being trained. As long as we have the belief that we will win, we will be able to drive the enemy back to their lair. Until then, we must fight a good victory to shake the people out of panic and regain confidence. By the way, the current atmosphere in Lüdes is very bad, and rumors of defeatism and capitulationism are rampant, and the voices of brave resistance will be besieged by defeatists. The security services and the gendarmerie must respond with an iron fist to this bad atmosphere and must cut off the source of rumours. We don't have time to sift through them all, as long as we find, no, as long as there are suspicious signs, there is no need to go through any legal procedures, and we can immediately arrest and interrogate. As soon as it is determined that they are defeatists, they are to be executed, they are to be hanged, not to be merciful, the bodies of those traitors and cowards are to be hung in the most conspicuous place, and their crimes are written as signs and hung on the corpses. The people are not lacking in courage, as long as we push them in the back and let everyone see the fate of these scum, we can inspire their determination to resist and raise their consciousness. ”

Surrounded by generals and officers, the crown prince poured a few sips of strong liquor at one time, inhaled a few puffs of marijuana cigarettes at one time, and spent the rest of the time talking eloquently, sometimes praising the bravery of the front-line soldiers, sometimes angrily scolding a certain general for being a shameless coward, who actually left his troops and fled, he was a coward who did not even dare to defend the honor of soldiers by suicide, and after a while he said that the coalition forces of various countries were about to launch an attack on Alfheim. The leap of his mind and the unbridled imagination of his imagination are truly breathtaking. The audience with star epaulettes applauded, and God knows what they were listening to.

In fact, the upper echelons of the army already knew that the man in front of him had been abolished. The once-high-spirited crown prince now relies on alcohol, marijuana and fantasy to escape reality, and he can no longer tell which is reality and what is delusion and hallucination. More than one person saw His Highness in the empty auditorium carrying a bottle of wine and giving an impassioned speech to the empty seats. The once wise and wise commander is now a decadent madman.

It stands to reason that any person of sound mind would try to avoid too much contact with a madman who is immersed in delusions, the kind of one-sided speech bombardment that has no intersection and can drive even the weak guy crazy. But many high-ranking army generals not only acted as listeners willingly, but sometimes they could even take a sentence or two......

These high-ranking officers are not M physique, and they can use mental attacks as a source of stimulation and happiness, and it is not that they are really cheap, and they feel it when they are minions. What sustains them through this torture every day, in addition to their responsibilities and obligations, is more that only by stabilizing the crown prince and allowing him to continue to immerse himself in the delusion of "everything is under control", rather than running away or committing suicide, can they keep this oversized vote, so as to escape the fate of the gallows, and still retain their power, wealth and status.

True, the generals who were ready to surrender to Alfheim saw the crown prince as a valuable commodity. As long as they can endure the current fatigue bombardment, they will take care of this item until it can finally be transferred to Alfheim in good condition. At that point, they will be able to get paid handsomely. As for that item, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whom they had sworn allegiance to, naturally it had nothing to do with them. Anyway, they have already sworn allegiance to the new master, and the new owner wants to steam or cook a product, so naturally it is as the master wishes, and they have no problem with this at all. If there is a generous enough reward, they are also willing to help the new master solve some troubles.

However, it is clear that their "enthusiasm" does not move Alfheim, and even their pointy-eared counterparts cannot agree with such a shameless betrayal.

"These guys still have the face to call themselves soldiers, and I think any scoundrel on the side of the road is braver than them. ”

"Do they claim that everything they do is to save the country and the people from the tyrants?

"Pimps, fraudsters, armed smugglers, brothel owners, drug heads selling illegal drugs, human trafficking organizations...... Well, can we think that Charlemagne no longer has the character to get on the table......? Well, the thing is here to represent Charlemagne's people?"

"AS A SIGN OF LOYALTY TO ALFHEIM, THEY WERE WILLING TO CHANGE THEIR SURNAME, TAKE ON THE SURNAME OF THE ELVES, AND ADD THE TITLE 'VON'...... Which genius brains came up with this idea? Their brains are all fed to the dogs? Why should we give a bunch of treacherous pigs a noble title when we don't have a few noble surnames ourselves?"

Brilliant invective against Charlemagne's soldiers and bureaucrats filled the second conference room of the Wehrmacht General Staff, a secret conference room that was rarely used, and the glory of Charlemagne's soldiers was not only knocked to the ground, but also made up for more than a thousand feet.

The Defence Force did have reason to be angry, and the bastards were acting too shamelessly.

Who has ever seen a traitor who sells his country so justifiably? Who has ever seen a person who dares to bargain with his new master for an official position, a noble title, and a territory before he has formally surrendered? With such a shameless, arrogant, and greedy face, even the elves who are accustomed to all kinds of strange phenomena in Charlemagne's officialdom were also frightened, and after being shocked, a strong disgust surged into the hearts of these professional officers.

A new report on Charlemagne's domestic situation, submitted by Stasi, has succeeded in turning disgust into a monstrous rage.

According to the report, due to the heavy losses of the Royal Army, many units were wiped out in formation, and now Charlemagne's Royal Army is "no longer available" as Prince Louis put it in his speech. To fill the void caused by the loss of the army, Charlemagne began to form a new type of military unit to augment the military force. To put it bluntly, it is to form new troops to act as cannon fodder. According to the speech of the Crown Prince Louis at the inaugural meeting of the "People's Stormtroopers", the purpose of the formation of the unit was to "strengthen the combat effectiveness of the army and at the same time fight mercilessly where all enemies try to trample on the land of the Fatherland"!

So, what is the state of this army, known as the "People's Stormtrooper" and with high hopes from the crown prince?

As a hastily assembled force in desperation, this unit is poorly equipped and lacks veterans with combat experience, and it is difficult to find anyone who meets the standards of a normal soldier. A large number of elderly people, teenagers and even children (by no means exaggeration, there are 12-year-olds and even younger) filled the ranks, and even the half-blind disabled people who were missing an arm or leg were pulled into the ranks. As for the equipment, it is not enough to use it miserably. Some of the lucky troops were able to receive a low-quality rifle and eighteen rounds of ammunition, while the unlucky ones were only a few people sharing a bayonet, and a child with a stick or iron pipe. The girls were each given an awl, and according to the instructor, the task of these "women's standing teams" was to lure ghost animals, and then use the awl to "kill a ghost animal for good, and at worst for self-destruction"......

It's not a war anymore, it's outright murder.
