Macho Wars

In fact, Dragoon held a meeting to discuss last night, and the conclusions reached made everyone present at the meeting very frustrated. The only way they could cope in the next year was to use the underground palaces on the New World side to organize "a part" of the people. Take refuge in.

These underground palaces were designed by the Taraki Zerg and built by the ancestors of the indigenous clans eight hundred years ago.The original intention was to prepare some shelters in advance for the catastrophe of the next millennium, but this project was only carried out for more than 30 years, and was unfortunately interrupted due to the demise of the Taraki Zerg.

According to Klin Du, the progress of most of the shelters is below 30%, and the excavation is not deep or large enough. Only the underground palaces in two pilot areas have been completed. Klin and other Zergs survived. The person is currently hiding in these places, five kilometers deep from the vertical height of the ground.

This kind of digging depth is naturally not done solely by humans using primitive tools. The main excavation operations rely on "ground boats" to drill holes, and humans are only responsible for internal construction work.

At its peak, the Talaki Zerg had owned thousands of ground boats, and they had transported five times back and forth, transporting all the hundreds of thousands of Zergs and 300,000 human followers to the New World.But hundreds of years later, most of the ground boats were completely damaged due to disrepair, and only the last three were available.

The only two possible refuges, together, barely enough for 100,000 people to hide in, and human beings in East Sidney alone have 28 million people!Once the comet hits it, those who remain on the surface may not all die, but there are certainly not many who can survive.

Therefore, before them, is a cruel multiple choice question.

Fortunately, Dragon is a man who has seen strong winds and waves. He has charged and killed people with his own hands. He has also commanded thousands of troops from the center.Under his command, the response department first made plans for the worst possible, leaving a "seed" for the continuation of human civilization.

They first contacted Klin Du and asked him about the specific conditions of the two shelters.It is learned that each shelter has a standard capacity of 50,000 people, with a residential area and a bionic greenhouse operated by magic. With sufficient supplies, it can operate independently for 50 years in complete isolation from the outside world.

And other unbuilt shelters are not completely unusable, because the comet’s impact site will be in the southern hemisphere, and the damage to the northern hemisphere is far less intense than direct hits.Most tunnels with a depth of 50 meters below the surface can withstand this shock.

But these simple tunnels do not have the ability to sustain themselves. Humans cannot survive for a long time in them. After the impact, they still need to return to the surface. The problem is precisely here.

Most people may not have the idea that after a comet hits the earth, the dust generated will obscure the sky and cover the sun and last for months or even years.When there is no sunlight, the whole land will be completely shrouded in darkness and become very cold, which will lead to the death of a large number of animals and plants.No one is sure how long it will take for ecological restoration after this.

And another problem is the biological super-evolution brought about by the arrival of the "Creator".According to Klin, the greater the amount of the original crumbs, the stronger the monster produced by the mutation.The first nine times the Creator came, they all simply dropped a little scum. This time, the whole thing came down, and the ghost knew what monsters would be created!

Questions were continuously discovered as the discussion continued, and Dragon thought about going to the end, thinking that he would first go to the refuge where Klin was, and investigate the specific situation there before making a decision.

At the same time, the East Qin side, because of the personal order of the Queen Mother, the United Astronomical Bureau of the Star Gazing College verified the data provided by the East Sidney Empire, and the results surprised all of them.The person in charge of the Astronomical Bureau rushed into the palace with the report and reported their findings to the Queen Mother.

"What are you talking about? Is it true?"

"It's true, it's true!"

Looking at the report on her hand, the Queen Mother Frost looked complicated for a while.After a short silence, the queen mother stood up and ordered.

"Send an order, this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and all those who know it are not allowed to spread it out. Immediately notify the elders of the public and let them enter the palace to discuss matters!

In this way, Eastern Qin became the second country to start operations, and the Empress Dowager Frost went to the New World on the military's fastest cruiser in the name of a "state visit" early the next morning.

Soon after Queen Mother Frost set off, information about her going to the Eastern Empire was sent back to China by spies planted by the Western Empire.However, the spy only heard that the Queen Mother was going to visit the Eastern Empire, but did not know about the comet collision. Therefore, the importance of this information was greatly underestimated, and it was not until a week later that it was sent back to the imperial capital and presented to Firavi.

At this time, the Western Empire had just ended the border war between the north and the south. After eight months and the painful price of nearly 170,000 deaths, Filavi successfully defended his own land and joined forces with the Kingdom of Wieland. The Creek Federation successively signed armistice agreements.

However, not everyone in the Western Empire can be satisfied with this hard-won peace.Some middle- and lower-level officers believed that the war ended in this posture, and the enemy did not pay the price of provoking the imperial majesty, so for the empire, the battle was undoubtedly defeated.As glorious imperial soldiers, they should use the blood of the enemy to wash away their humiliation.

For these fanatical militants, Filavi really wanted to reprimand them so that they could take a good look at the current bad situation in China, and then reorganize the language with their brains, but when they think that they are relying on it. These "hot-blooded youths" succeeded in the coup d'état. The background of individual guys is not simple, and the thousands of words are finally translated into four words.

"Rong I think twice."

The current Western Empire is undoubtedly a mess for Firavi, and there are a lot of important matters that need to be dealt with by the emperor.And Firavi is not incapable of handling, he just needs time.

The heavy official duties made him almost breathless, but Firavi did not dare to delegate power to the people below.The various forces fought openly and secretly, although the recommended talents looked good, but these people may not be the same as his imperial emperor.Especially when he found out that even his "partner knights" had two or five boys, which made him more and more suspicious.

Whenever such a time, the frustrated Firavi could not help but think of it.If... If his father did not suddenly die suddenly, and the country was smoothly handed over to him, with the help of famous generals and ministers such as Howard and Dragon, what would this country be like? ?

Chapter 670: Soldiers and Idols

Although it has just experienced the devastation of division and war, which has caused the entire country to be greatly injured, the Western Empire is still the world's largest power if only looking at paper data.The overall size is there, even if it is thinner, the size is unmatched by ordinary countries.

But the weakness of the state is after all weakness. The successive wars consumed too much national power of the Western Empire. Firavi had already seen the facts he had to face. The independence of the Eastern Empire was a foregone conclusion, even if they did not admit it. He couldn't do anything to the group of people across the ocean.

At this time, the more you want revenge, the more you have to endure it, but what makes Filavi feel helpless is that many people in China do not understand this truth, they just want to rush up and spread their blood on the earth. .

Firawi has received all kinds of "invitation letters" these days, including thousands of words eloquently and impassioned, dozens of middle and lower-level officers co-authoring letters, and those who simply touched a few drops of blood to enhance their visual impact. .The content of these invitations is basically the same, and they all hope that Firavi will not compromise with the enemy country and continue the war.

According to the thoughts of these radical young officers, the empire has been fighting with them for a little half a year, and hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and injured. The borders of many places have been breached, and the city and the people have been trampled by the enemy. , Also had to force the opponent to actively seek peace when the imperial army was first in favorable conditions.

However, the armistice agreement signed between Firavi and the Kingdom and the Federation obviously did not satisfy these people. One did not achieve a substantive victory, and the other did not receive any compensation. It was only that the two armies returned to their own territory, and nothing happened before the authority. same.

As a result, the soldiers who thought they had fought in vain were angry. They felt that after Firavi became the emperor, they had lost the spirit of the soldiers, and these loyal courtiers must speak to their emperor.

In fact, at this time Firavi had a faint feeling that he was slowly losing control of the army.You don't need to worry too much about your own troops for the time being, but those local troops that are not in front of your eyes are not very safe, and if you don't pay attention, they may fall off.

If Dragon was on Firaway's side, he would definitely recommend the very useful "new noncommissioned officer system" to him, but unfortunately there is no such thing as reality.In addition to these middle- and lower-level officers who have a tendency to "go alone", taking advantage of the local forces where the chaos began to probe, Firavi also dared not take it lightly.

At the beginning, Philavie launched a coup to win more local forces to stand up and support him, and agreed to many demands of those local nobles. Among them, the rapid rise of the "Southern faction" is the most representative.

During the reign of the first emperor, he had talked with Firavi about the southern factions and asked him to sever ties with the other party, otherwise the throne would not be passed on to him.The old emperor bluntly told his son that those Conservative Party nobles are not credible. Don’t look at how generous they are now, and what Felavy wants, but these investments will turn into debts in the end, because he wants Felavy to be in the upper position. Go back later.

Firavi didn't care at first, but today, reality has proved to him step by step...his father is right!

After the civil war in the empire officially broke out, the nobles of the southern faction responded to the call for the first time and formed a number of "rebels" on their own without the consent of Firavi.Firawi felt a little bad at the time, but because of the special circumstances, he didn't care too much.

Later, the Eastern Army counterattacked and the Kingdom Army invaded the southern border. These southern aristocratic rebels did play a certain role, but they were also taking the opportunity to develop and grow. The scale increased from the initial 3,000 to 70,000 like a snowball. Few military important places.

As for the Southeast Military Region, which belongs to the regular army, because the elites were sent to the imperial capital by Filavera and the war continued to be consumed, the total strength dropped sharply. Many experienced officers and veterans were unable to bear the temptation of high salaries and took the initiative. Retired and went to the noble rebels.

During the period, Filavi called the noble rebels several times, asking them to obey the command of the imperial army and reduce their size, but the other party always acted against it. The leader of the rebels, Duke Harrison, even replied to Filavi, saying " "Patriots" claim to say that everything they do is to protect the empire they love. Although the Royal Army is currently retreating, the threat still exists on the border, so the Rebels cannot be abolished.If Philavier didn't trust them, he could put the rebels into the regular army, as long as the central government paid their soldiers.

Facing this seemingly humble, but provocative reply between the lines, Felavi was furious.

Harrison knows very well how difficult the current central finances are. Firavi has long been unable to make ends meet and can't afford the money.And even if they were incorporated, the commanding power of these troops would still be in the hands of the southern aristocrats, and eventually became the central government's money to help local forces raise private troops.

In desperation, Firavi, who had a lot of mess in his hand waiting to be cleaned up, could only endure first.Afterwards, he asked the attendant to add a screen to the imperial study room, blocking him and the wall with the portrait of Emperor Xian.

The old emperor spent half his life in the past to continuously weaken the power of the local aristocracy, strengthen the centralization of power, and completely suppress the separatist forces of the vassal.Now that he has been in office for less than two years, half of his father's hard work has been wiped out. He now has no face to face his old man.

Thinking of these things, Filavi couldn't help but feel sad.Especially when he learned that on the other side of the East Empire on the other side of the sea, Dragon had successfully used the anti-revolutionary movement to completely level the aristocratic power and remove obstacles to the country's reform.

As Firavi was feeling melancholy, there was a knock at the door. The attendant informed that Lieutenant General Soldier Sneek, the commander of the First Guards Army, and his aide-in-staff Andrew Colonel Cispano.

The two quickly came to the Imperial Study Room, and Firaway looked at the two men and couldn't help showing a slightly playful smile.

Solid was the former commander of the 54th Mountain Division and one of the ace troops of the Central Military District before the Civil War.During the Civil War, he supported Firawi with a clear-cut stand and made a remarkable contribution in the fortification of the Doro Mountain Fortress. Later, he was transferred to the northern border to resist the federal invasion. His troops performed well on the battlefield. Therefore, they were transferred to the newly formed Guards after the war. In the first army, Solide was promoted to lieutenant general.

Filavy admired Solid very much. This man was in his prime of life. He was shrewd and principled. The first guards guarding the imperial capital and the palace were handed over to him to command. Filavy could rest assured.

In addition, Firavi also intends to praise him, as a propaganda star elected by the Western Army to fight against Dragon of the Eastern Army.

Half a year ago, the Eastern Army had a large-scale counterattack. Dragoon led one hundred thousand elites, smashing through a thousand kilometers from south to north and approaching the imperial capital.Although the battle ended with the Eastern Army’s failures, and the Western Army was completely driven out of the empire by the counterattack, everyone admitted that Dragoon’s blitz tactics shocked four people. From beach landings, paratroopers airborne to armored swarms assaults, the Western Army had five The one hundred thousand army was violently beaten on the ground by one hundred thousand elite soldiers of his second army group.If it hadn't been for Howard, who commanded the First Army Group, suddenly fell ill, causing chaos in his army, the opponent would have almost succeeded.

And Philavi, who was in the imperial capital at the time, felt like Dragoon rushed towards him with a gust of wind, wielding an extremely sharp long knife, and the tip of the knife struck less than a millimeter in front of his throat. Past.

This kind of almost lifeless experience is quite exciting!

After this battle, although the Western Army achieved a substantial victory, the troops below also contracted "Dragonphobia."

Although Firavi did not intend to retake the colony in a short time, he could not allow the troops below to panic and fear a person thousands of kilometers away all day.
