You call me a big treacherous evil?

If there is a truce with Teutonic at this time, then I will lose the land that my father and grandfather annexed in the past 100 years.

And in an extremely disadvantaged position in the postwar world environment.

This made the emperor still unable to make up his mind, and continued to invest those loyal and reliable guards in the battle with the Teutonic people.

Let these guards go into the country to suppress the rebel forces.

But soon the emperor didn't have to choose, and his indecision made him lose the power to choose.

Because with the fermentation of the news of the defeat on the front line, the merchants immediately began to drive up prices again with reasons such as military supplies and the occupation of grain production areas.

The prices of daily necessities such as bread rose by 30.00% within three days, and the prices of coal and cloth rose by 50.00%.

Although the emperor repeatedly issued orders to crack down on the hoarding of unscrupulous merchants.

But those who dare to do this at this time are basically not big aristocratic families with status in Negri, or relatives like the queen.

In order to keep their positions, the officials of the supervisory department could only catch a few daring little shrimps in the end.

The crazy rise in food prices completely ignited the anger in the hearts of the people.

Since the second year of the war, foods such as sugar, honey, and butter have completely disappeared from the tables of ordinary people.

Then came the prices of various necessities, like a kite in spring, which swished to an almost unacceptable level.

Mass protests broke out across the country.

Workers in factories stopped working, students in schools put down their books, and shop assistants in shopping malls closed their doors.

They went to the street together and asked the emperor to stop the war, crack down on profiteers and lower prices.

Seeing the strike reports flying in like snowflakes, as well as the news of the shutdown of various factories and railways, completely stabbed the emperor's nerves.

So among all the options, the emperor chose the one that seemed to have the fastest and most direct effect.

Order the police and military police to take to the streets to suppress and disperse the demonstrators, allowing the use of force when necessary.

What the emperor didn't expect was that this usual practice could disperse the demonstrators and let these mud-legged people go back to work.

But now, it's like throwing a lighted match into a powder keg.



011 Loyalty!

In such an era, people taking to the (♂) streets to protest is almost as common as eating and drinking.

Although the emperor's rule over Lucia can be described as a sustainable exhaustion.

But all the emperors of Lucia knew that although Lucia and Franche signed the Louvre Agreement.

Then Brandenia and other allies were added to the camp of the Allied Powers.

But Lucia's real allies are her army and navy.

Therefore, the people can squeeze and fish in a sustainable way, but the funds for the military and police must be adequate.

At critical moments, these troops must be able to pull out to suppress those mud legs.

So at this moment, the Imperial Gendarmerie and the police faithfully carried out the emperor's order and began to use violent means to forcibly disperse the demonstrators.

But this demonstration is different from the past, and the people's life is really difficult.

When there was no more meat on the table, the emperor said that for the sake of the Lucian nation, they endured it.

Amidst the complaints, the fathers put on their military uniforms and set foot on the battlefield.

When the butter also disappeared from the table, the emperor said that for the sake of the Lucian Empire, although there were some complaints, they put up with it.

Although very dissatisfied, the eldest sons took their rifles and walked into the battlefield.

Finally, when the bread disappeared from the table, the emperor said that victory was imminent, and then the last youngest son was going to fight, it was too much to bear.

So when the gendarmes and the police blew their whistles, picked up their batons and whips and began to disperse the demonstrators.

What awaited them were shotguns, pitchforks and barricades.

The riots triggered by the rise in food prices swept across Lucia in an instant.

No one knows where or by whom the riots started in the first place, but everyone knows that if they don't they will starve to death at their own empty dining tables.

Soon the emperor learned that this riot was no longer a demonstration under normal circumstances. These unscrupulous people were not even afraid of the military police!He is no longer an ordinary troublemaker!

Must punch hard!The knight company is dispatched!

Since ancient times, well-equipped knights have been a trump card in the hands of kings to suppress mobs.

These knights using heavy mechs can reduce the dimensionality of mobs who at most have some shotguns and front-mounted artillery in their hands.

In front of the heavy machine guns and artillery of the knights, the barricades built by the mob were as fragile as potato chips.

Of course, apart from the cavaliers, looking at the obvious situation now, the emperor also made a decision.

It's time to bring the loyal Guards troops into battle!

Although the situation looks unfavorable now, as long as the guards and knights launch an attack, everything will be fine!

No matter how you say it, this time it's the elite fighting against the hungry mob, and I have the advantage!

With the idea of ​​suppressing this riot as soon as possible, and then persisting until the victory of the war, to make Lucia great again, the emperor fell asleep on his luxurious big bed.

In the dream, he seemed to see the Teutons kneeling and surrendering to him, and he finally won the ice-free port and sea estuary that the Lucian royal family had been striving for for hundreds of years.

A smile appeared on the sleeping emperor's face.

At the same time, Victor, who had been waiting for a long time, also received an order from the emperor.

Obtaining the emperor's order, as a well-known front-line officer in the Guards, Victor, who has won two Romanov Saints Medals, the highest standard of the Lucian royal family, of course wanted to surprise the emperor.

Of course, this surprise may be nothing but surprise to the emperor.

In this nationwide riot, Port Phelps is naturally impossible to stay out of it.

In fact the Port Phelps strike was led by Van Gerich.

When the strike started to turn into a riot, Vangoridge tracked down Victor.

I hope that Victor can lead the [-]th Guards Infantry Company and occupy Port Phelps with the workers' pickets, firing the first shot of the revolution in this most important port of the empire.

The first shot of the revolution was fired, and the honor almost went to Victor's head.

But Victor, who has been rolling in the quagmire of the front for five years, knows that the uprising, like the war, is not so easy to succeed.

He, Victor, was able to mix all the way from an ordinary soldier to a captain officer. If it was just luck, he would have died many times.

Victor was able to survive to this day, all relying on strength, or brain power.

After Victor was promoted to a non-commissioned officer and had a certain degree of autonomy, Victor would observe the surrounding terrain environment every time he fought, and if conditions permit, he would also get some military maps to study a bunch of plans A, B, C, and D to deal with various situations. emergencies.

So when Van Gorich invited Victor to bring someone over to fire the first shot, Victor calmly thought about whether the current conditions were enough for him to fire the first shot.

The time has come, and now there are riots across the country, and his own guard infantry company is one of the most capable troops in Port Phelps.

At the same time, after the workers' pickets have obtained the weapons they delivered, as long as they can get some bolt-action rifles, they can basically have the size of a regiment.

And according to the current situation, as long as you click to set up the flag, it will not be a problem to expand to a division.

If the location is favorable, except for the city hall and the noble district garrisoned by the knights, the rest of the urban area has been occupied by rioting citizens and workers' pickets, and barricades have been built.

The only problem now is the people.

As the most important port city of the Lucian Empire, in addition to the regular garrison, Port Phelps also has a mecha establishment of a knight company and the Lucian First Fleet.

As for the soldiers in the same barracks as Victor, most of them are in the state of Xiaofengxian under Victor's efforts. As long as Victor greets them, they can raise the knife to Shangluo to surprise the emperor.

Even Victor, the knight, didn't have any idea of ​​fighting for him.

For those knights who are stationed ten kilometers behind the front line, who are late every time, and want to turn their nostrils to the sky when they look at the mud legs of the infantry, Victor's last tenderness is to let them choose their own street lamp style.

They were not allowed to choose the font on the sign, it was the emperor's patent.

But Victor, the sailor, felt that he could still win to some extent.

After all, although the remuneration of the sailors is a little better than that of the army, the benefits are limited.

Especially after the failure of the Liang Xihai naval battle and the loss of almost half of the tonnage of the Lucia First Fleet, the fleet has been squatting in Port Phelps as an existing fleet.

So the morale of this group of sailors can be imagined now.

After rejecting Vangoridge's offer of an immediate uprising, Victor went to the naval anchorage in Port Phelps to see if he could get the navy's sailors to defect as well.

012 time is up

For Victor's plan, it was hard for Wangorich to disapprove.

After all, the previous uprisings had all failed, and as an old Conmi, Wangorich certainly knew the importance of entrusting professional matters to professional people.

So first of all, Vangorich did not launch an uprising in a hurry, but formed the Port Phelps Revolutionary Military Committee with Victor and the commander of the workers' pickets to command the military in Port Phelps. strength.

In order to prevent the occurrence of multiple orders, or accidental injury of friendly troops, etc., which will affect the combat situation.

After all, before the official uprising, only the members of the Revolutionary Military Council knew which armed forces in Port Phelps would obey the leadership of the Communist Party.

Although Van Gorich is still the secretary of the military committee, Victor is the person with the most combat experience and the most outstanding record in the entire military committee.

Not surprisingly, the command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces fell into Victor's hands.

After all, if it wasn't for Victor's background that made him hit the ceiling of the system in Lucia's army early, he should be a colonel or a major general now.

What he was commanding was not an infantry company, but an assault brigade.

But how could the generals allow a commoner's son to take his son's position.

You, an uneducated mud leg, can be a school officer. Doesn't that make us military nobles a failure?

So Victor can only bear the rank of a captain all the time, being the leader of his commando.

Although he is only a commando leader, among the communists in Port Phelps, no one is more suitable for this position than Victor.

After the establishment of the Revolutionary Military Council, Wangorich used some local communist forces to connect Victor with the sailors on the cruiser Dawn Goddess.

As an old-fashioned protected cruiser launched 20 years ago, the Dawn Goddess cruiser is in this era of ever-changing shipbuilding technology.

When it was first launched, the sea was beautiful for a while, and then more new cruisers were launched into service.

The goddess of dawn soon became a Cinderella, was kicked out of the main fleet, and began to be mainly responsible for offshore defense and patrolling tasks.

She can no longer sail the vast ocean like her descendants did.

The Navy Department of the Lucian Empire is also very realistic. The treatment of serving on new ships and large ships is better than that of serving on old ships and small ships.

What's more, after being unable to sail far, for the sailors on this ship, they immediately lost one of the most important sources of income, the navy's ocean-going subsidies.

So the morale of the sailors serving on the Aurora can be imagined.

Although it is not like the third-line troops of the army, they are starved for three days and nine meals a day for three meals of hard-core treatment of small steel rods.

But it basically belonged to the kind of treatment that the battleship was heartbroken when he saw it, and the knight shed tears when he heard about it.

And what Victor said when contacting them also spoke to their hearts.

The sailors who fought bravely on the battleship did not even have a piece of bread on their family table.

The wheat that farmers have worked so hard to grow cannot be eaten by themselves.

Kangmi never wants everyone to be so miserable. It is the emperor, the nobles, and the capitalists who took away the fruits of everyone's labor.

When the husbands and sons of poor families fight for these insects on the front line, their reward is to starve the soldiers' families to death. If they don't want to starve to death, they can only choose to sell their bodies for them to play.

We have fought such an arduous war, what can we get in return in the end?

The emperor's children are still emperors, the noble's children are still nobles, and the common people's children are still common people.

So what we Conmi have to do is not to replace with a new group of insects and continue this desperate cycle.

What we have to do is to smash the shackles that bind the proletariat, so that all people can live equally under the blue sky.

Let your children be free to choose their own path, instead of being sucked to the last drop of blood in a factory while those aristocratic children are having fun.

You can now choose to hand me over to the gendarmes for two loaves of bread, or you can join us in the great cause of the liberation of all mankind.

After listening to Victor's words, the sailors immediately said.

Our generation has been suffering as a military officer for a long time. Today, after listening to the words of the king, we will know our suffering.
