Out of the cage

In the past 100 years, the empire has fought a full 100-year war with the Osima Empire for the expansion of the colonies on the south side (the lower half of the T-shaped continent), and fought for another 40 years with the addition of Anglo .

It can be said that in the initial confrontation, in order to win the empire, the morale of factory owners, scholars, and ordinary workers in the city was aroused unprecedentedly high.

What? What is the price? The price is that the conscription rate in the countryside is increasing day by day, and the countryside lacks organization and channels to speak out. Even if it bears a lot of pain, it is still controllable for the empire. Until the empire's food production collapsed.

The extremely inspiring words of "expansion great cause" and "living space" have supported the heroes of the empire to fight for decades despite the unfavorable situation of continuous depletion of national power.

But any spiritual "encouragement" and "mobilization" must abide by the "feedback mechanism".

If you overdraft wantonly, you will inevitably suffer backlash.

When the "spiritual mobilization" is used unscrupulously to seize resources and abuse them, then one day, "spiritual hostility" can easily destroy the huge institutional system with special effects.

The military contest between the conservatives and the reformers in the empire has never been the most important, and the spiritual offense and defense are the main battlefield. As long as the most violent cry against the empire, the "uprising", continues, it will harm the empire. deadly enough

…Enma: The symptoms of the empire are more serious than I previously estimated. My judgment was wrong...

Enma’s evaluation of the previous actions of the imperial city faction was as follows: “The “job” you did before is simply nonsense. In some cities, the highest person in charge of your uprising has clearly prepared to uprising, and there are still small groups below They are still trying their best to attract new personnel, and when they are recruiting, they are also based on winning the trust of the other party, showing off that "we are going to do big things soon", which is simply a reminder to the imperialists to suppress it."

Wei Keng, who advocates strict organization, feels very bad about this low-level fighting. If it wasn't for the common goal, Enma wouldn't want to act with them at all.

Enma went back and forth between various prisons to search for people, and when he wiped these guys' ass, he complained: So it is often the people who are full of enthusiasm to participate in the operation, but the organization is not strict, which often leads to a person not paying attention to carrying the mission of the organization , after being arrested, unable to bear the torture, all the names of all the participants were leaked. The entire operation failed and morale suffered.

If things go on like this, even if the passion of the revolutionaries is countless times stronger than that of the imperial conservatives.

In the end, he will be bloodletted to death by the sophisticated imperial faction. In the end, with no hope in sight, the acquiescence could only stand on the road currently planned by the empire and continue on.

However, Enma was wrong. Enma mistakenly brought the general environment of the 21st century into this environment similar to the 19th century.

From the second half of the 20th century to the first half of the 21st century, it is a rare "overall wealth rising period" in the history of mankind on the earth. All superstructures have sufficient margin to adjust the contradictions, and the lower layers are aroused. means of extermination.

However, this was not the case from the end of the nineteenth century to the first half of the twentieth century, due to the sharp contradictions between the upper and lower levels. The imperial pillars have no extra resources to appease the interior, and can only stud through foreign wars. If you win, you will have resources to stabilize internal conflicts, but if you lose, all factions in the huge empire will become "loyalists".

Enma came to Swan City, and after substantially participating in the attack of this era, he discovered that the imperial army that was suppressing his own side, except for the "Emperor Gendarmerie" and the "sailors" transferred from other places, did not send a large-scale imperial army. The troops of the heavy armor group.

Enma re-investigated the city and confirmed that the urban faction's uprising in the big city is beneficial to the interests of the "wait and see faction" in the empire to a certain extent.

There are at least six main battle legions around the empire, but none of these legions are allowed to enter the big cities.

Wei Keng concluded: 'Once the imperial army is allowed to enter the big city in the name of countering the rebellion, the interests of various industries in the big city will inevitably be controlled by the army. '

It can be said that there is a group of people in the sky empire system who want the rebel army to grow bigger.

...The top echelons of the empire and the urban rebels who are not keeping secrets are a pair of wonderful opponents...

All of this, with Enma in it, gave the uprising a "mature" flavor.

After 3229, as the Youth Youth Association took control of the northern cities, the "postman" once again became the elder among the urban rebels.

After Enma's training of the urban rebels in Mirsu City, although there are still some problems in the organization of the urban reformers, secrecy has been added to the core action steps.

For example, in the Swan City Uprising, a small number of people knew about the uprising at the beginning. Although the empire knew through the ghosts that "the party members were planning an unusually large operation", they failed to accurately judge the time and location of the uprising.

And all of this had already happened before.

After 3230, the number of uprisings in major cities throughout the empire increased significantly, and the morale of the revolutionaries began to continue to heat up.

The urban faction of the empire may still be lacking in other systems, but they are stronger than waves in secrecy operations. They have established their own "secrecy system", which is isolated from Enma. It's not that Enma directly participated in the Swan City Uprising this time, and didn't even know about it.

Among the urban uprising faction, the early stages of their planned operations are very covert. The imperial gendarmerie, the secret agents, did not notice the signs of an uprising at all. After the failure of the uprising, each operation ensured the transfer of a considerable part of the population. Already possessed the ability to successfully "pull down the towering tree of the empire".

Now in January 31, during the Swan City uprising, it is also continuously increasing the ignition point for all the big cities in the empire, and it is gradually approaching the critical point.

As the empire's suppressive forces have been unable to complete the purge of Swan City for a long time, it has caused a chain reaction. Just half a month later, three cities in the southern part of the empire began a new uprising.

In the palace of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the new ignition point that appeared on the map of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and already felt that the chips in his hands were rapidly decreasing.

...It seems that the rebel army is fighting with the empire, but it is actually a battle between the supreme ruling power of the empire and the real power factions in various places. …

The empire has an absolute advantage in the legion in Swan City, and tens of thousands of troops have surrounded Swan City.

At least three heroes led the armored troops to surround them, but as long as the rebel army was not killed, the flames in the entire empire would be linked.

And on the 24th, the Swan City uprising took down the Anglo infiltrators, and the routine began to add fuel to the fire, criticizing the empire. This time a raging fire was lit.

At this time, the generals in the empire, who are absolutely "loyal to the emperor", can already know the strength of the grass.

Outside Swan City, armored vehicles are lined up here, and this is Sugemat's troops. And the airship engine continues to rotate, just like a kite hula-la in a windy weather.

As an elite combat group of the empire, Sugemat is actually very dissatisfied with the series of policies of the empire in recent years. Therefore, in the matter of encircling and suppressing the city, he imposed many conditions on the upper echelons of the empire. Property is public.

Reform the finances of the empire.

Sugemat is actually a very conservative general in the empire, and he is also the most loyal to the empire.

Many other generals were more radical and proposed to completely reshuffle the cabinet.

But even so, the wealthy royal family at the top of the entire empire, the nobles, still felt that the asking price for a general like Sugemat was too high.

Sugemat thought: At the beginning of the Swan City Uprising, at the meeting behind the fortified gate of the Imperial Cabinet, those grand dukes and royal relatives dressed in fine clothes. Thinking it was just a small rebellion in the imperial city, the rebels had been gradually compressed into several areas, and given time, they could be wiped out quickly.

Sugemat's behavior of halving their family property is really taking advantage of the fire. Therefore, the Grand Duke believes that there must be no compromise with these troops.

On the third day of the Uprising in Swan City, the Duke ordered the military police and the security forces of the imperial capital to eliminate the "violent party" as soon as possible. And dispatched supervisors.

And this supervisor is the third son of the Duke, the head of the imperial cabinet, Wallace. Likewise, when it was learned that the Anglos had entered Swan City to perform an exorcism. That is the key faction that the guy holding the woman in the back asked the "Dragon Blood Gendarmerie" to temporarily put aside their prejudices and cooperate with it.

Wallace, who has indulged all his energy in a woman, believes that under his charm, the addition of external forces is an addition. He has no idea that under the current crumbling building, any external force intervention will lead to a "total collapse."

Enma, who used the broadcast to announce the whole country in the city, obviously found that in the etheric world, the huge concept of empire has collapsed.

...The perspective comes to the eleventh day of the Swan City Uprising. …

Outside the city, the Imperial Dragon Eagle Division was "forced" to stand still for half a month.

When Sugemat woke up, he saw that the atmosphere in his barracks was different. All the soldiers seemed to be discussing something. He looked carefully and noticed that the soldiers were holding radios and more advanced magic crystals. Logger, what's being circulated.

When he walked to the headquarters, the subordinate officers saluted him, and he went straight to the adjutant, asking for information on the current battle situation in Swan City. He first took a look at the situation in Swan City.

In Wallace's words: the imperial troops are approaching, and the remnants are entrenched in a few data points to resist. As long as we continue to work hard, we will usher in a complete victory.

Sugemat, expressionless, threw aside this "beautiful article" to please the imperial cabinet.

Sugemat has already noticed that this rebellion has lasted for too long, and a large number of variables have accumulated.

Just when Sugemat began to think about "where to go", his adjutants quietly took out a piece of intelligence that the rebels called "the empire and the Anglos colluded to betray the country".

Sugemat saw the eyes of the captured Ansa man sharpen, but after hearing the voice of the interrogator in the video, he was "chilled" all over his body.

The following top soldiers are now circulating: the video of Anglo being caught and tried by the rebels, and began to gloat over the Anglo and imperial rebels biting each other.

However, as the middle level of the empire, the school officials under Sugemat are keenly aware of the great political significance of this leaked video. When the empire itself lacks credibility, any one of them can incite those "knowledgeable people" in the empire The message of our "emotions may be a new "lead to the powder keg".

The senior generals who lead the legion, such as Sugemat, clearly understand that the collusion between the "Empire and the Anglo wizards" may be a ninety-nine percent misunderstanding. It was Wallace, the bastard, who mishandled it and was put in the shit bowl by the rebel army. But this is unexplainable, because the top level of the empire has always maintained an "information tent" for the middle and lower levels

Sugemat cursed: The third young master (Wallace) of the Duke's family in the imperial cabinet is more than successful than failure.

But what shook him even more was the faceless "interrogator" in the video.

But Sugemat was sure that this "interrogator" was the "lord" in the north who controlled a large rural area of ​​the empire.

Suget: If he (Enma) joined, then the nature has changed.

For the residents of the empire, this year's winter has been extremely long, and for those big figures in the empire sitting in front of the stove in their residences, life now is like being anxious on the stove as little ants.

When the Swan City rebel army announced that it had found evidence of the imperial witchcraft, the imperial cabinet repeatedly "clarified" that no other additional agreements had been reached with Anglo. The appearance of Anglo "tourists" is just a misunderstanding of Frontier's order from the "Department of Rebellion".

At this time, the imperial generals had conflicts of interest with the cabinet. It is impossible to accept these explanations.

According to the generals of Sugemat, there is no reason for the center of the empire to unite with the Anglo "witches" to betray the country.

However, the small and medium-sized citizens, who were obscured by the shady information, believed that there was absolutely a major reason for the Ansa people to come all the way to contact the cabinet. They believed that the entire cabinet group had betrayed the empire.

So even in the rumors among the petty bourgeois in the empire, the following fantastic version appeared.

Example: The empire is trying to maintain the powerful rule of the empire with a huge "blood sacrifice". This blood sacrifice is to sacrifice all the residents of the entire Swan City.

After this version came out, the residents of other cities in the empire had empathy. After all, today is the Imperial Swan City, and tomorrow it will be other cities. Cities in various places began to resist the empire's counter-insurgency.

...the fourteenth day of the Swan City rebellion, the atmosphere in the empire was like the eve of a storm...

Sugemat paced three times in the two-person office in the armored vehicle, and decided to make a phone call to the imperial cabinet to question, and when he was about to notify the airship to deploy the tower, he blocked it in the other direction The general, General Hughes, called.

The first words that General Hughes said when he saw Sugemat were: "General Rubble, you know what's going on in the cabinet, right?"

Sugemat nodded heavily: "Yes, I want to make sure."

Hughes: "We have already confirmed it. Up to now, the cabinet has not told us the truth, and they are determined to find out the matter."

Sugemat stood silently in front of the communication line, knowing that his colleague was beginning to show his ambition: "What should we do then? Are we also making trouble with the party members?"

Hughes: "Now the situation, wait and see."

Sugemat narrated noncommittally: "Partisans, what should we do if there is a commotion?"

Hughes: "To tell you the truth, the general, I have stalkers in the party, and there are radicals and moderates in the party. Now it's time for these people to speak for us."

...the greatest enemies of an empire are often within...

On January 25, the party revolution in Swan City entered a critical and delicate moment. Due to the ugly political struggle in the empire, the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie and Sailor Group, which were originally the first-line suppression forces, withdrew from Swan City. Seagate and a series of frontier officers of the empire began to accept formal investigations for "wrong understanding of orders". Of course, all of this was to keep Wallace, a fool.

In the frontier battle, the loss of success made Seagate and other military generals feel cold for the empire's indifference.

The Swan City Uprising took down the entire city completely,

Ludis, Enma, and Greve, who led the reform, all discovered that the empire's shackles on all fronts had been loosened. In the northeast direction, they even found a safe channel to transport supplies to the city and evacuate the wounded.

The attitude of the outside world eased, which greatly boosted the resistance morale in Swan City. Many reformers believe that we should make persistent efforts.

However, Enma believes that the prospect of continuing to actively attack in the military is not optimistic. The empire's many external legions still maintain strong forces. They have no advantage in getting out of the bunker and head-to-head. They should strengthen their external ties and prepare for defense. In the spare time, quickly sort out the city's internal affairs and put the system in Swan City into operation.

In particular, Enma emphasized that after seizing big cities, the center of work tasks should be transferred to internal affairs to stabilize urban production. Enhance the sustainable supply of uprising forces.

This time Ludis followed Wei Keng's suggestion. From the 25th to the 27th, the external organizational forces of the Revolutionary Army quietly transported a large amount of military equipment, and trained revolutionary teams from all over the empire advanced into Swan City.

The imperial military was dissatisfied with the cabinet, and after slightly loosening the shackles on Swan City, the reformers in the city got a precious breathing space.

On the 28th, all positions of the Revolutionary Army were strengthened tactically, the firepower points on the commanding heights of the city were well arranged, and transfer channels dedicated to defending against shelling were set up in the tunnels.

On the high-altitude airship, Hughes looked at the layout of the city with a telescope, and said to Sugemat: "It seems that there are talents in Swan City."

Sugemat also looked into the city. At this time, he saw the smoke and dust rising from the chimney in the center of the city, and murmured: "Someone among the party members wants to have a real fight with us (regular imperial army)!" .”

...Now the power of the empire is split, the military police of the imperial capital can't solve it, the imperial military thinks they are tough enough...

At this time, in the city, the temporary uprising committee conducting public trials dug out a large number of profiteers who resold supplies during the war.

Enma is intensively preparing for the reconstruction of urban order.

A large number of people in Swan City watched this scene, as the gentlemen in the city were read out one by one, and then these "gentlemen" in rag jackets were pressed to the ground. There was some excitement on the faces of the numb bystanders in the city.

Enma played very wildly in Swan City! To a certain extent, the reputation of the rebel army under the capital system in the city was overdrawn.

Enma: "To some extent, the development of rural and rural areas will form a competition between capital and credit in the future. If the rural and rural areas play wild, using violent confiscation, and then engaging in family distribution, This kind of "lack of diagnosis and investigation" directly makes the rural villages rely on their own strength to resist the economic policy, which is not conducive to the capital accumulation of the rural villages."

Enma is now giving priority to severely injuring the urban capitalist faction. This method makes the "new gods" in the All Saints Hall incomprehensible.

Because from the perspective of industrial output value, cities are the areas that can most create industrial output value. In the interstellar era, the concept of industrial planets was even maintained, but Wei Keng is now attacking cities. So is this still "industry"?

the answer is. Wei Keng completed it from the perspective of "industry and industry" cooperation. The rural and rural areas are allocated light industry and agricultural non-staple food processing industry, and the city maintains heavy industry. Both of these need capital, but cities need to control "capital" to ensure the stability of industrial areas with hundreds of thousands of people, and rural villages need capital to transform the original family cooperation into a modern production relationship with dozens or hundreds of people.

..."Industry" and "Industry" are not the same as the place where the mouse is thrown. …

Enma established the Swan City Judgment Department. In the spirit of frankness and leniency, he resisted strict requirements, and three diehards were shot.

And the other forty-five big businessmen, because they confessed that they were hoarding supplies under the instructions of the big figures of the imperial cabinet.

When the Enma Judgment Department pushed them down to the ground, and after they thought they were finished, the executioner behind them shot into the sky, scaring them out of their wits and even dropping their shit out of them. After untying them, Enma announced that he would pardon them on behalf of the "New Deal" and let them behave well.

For such laissez-faire, the murderous, high-ranking party members and comrades feel incomprehensible.

Enma persuaded: "The revolution is not for fun. If we judge for fun, the worst group of people in the empire will continue to throw out a large number of scapegoats to make those who oppose them have fun, and then accuse us of being "violent." saboteurs, and then deflect their contradictions.”

...Enma's all preparations are for the next big battle...

As Sugemat judged, Swan City wanted to fight the regular army of the Empire.

When the imperial cabinet was "disclosed and denounced" in Swan City, and it was an act of stepping on it, the cabinet bosses were furious.

There is a saying that says that the most shameless on the surface, but the most shameless in private are "politicians and bitches". Once they are exposed in the open, it is tantamount to killing them.

There have always been cases of investigating the corruption of the Grand Duke of the Empire during the war, but in the end they all disappeared, so that many people involved in the case disappeared without a trace.

Now with the "fall" of Swan City, a large black curtain is revealed.

When the revolutionaries held guns, they directly uncovered the dirty things of the duke's reselling of supplies at the front, and exposed them in broad daylight. This made all the forces in the empire who had been watching all the time feel for a moment: "Hey, it's really horizontal, I'm afraid it will kill me."

On the night of the 29th, at the request of the cabinet, the forward troops of the empire to suppress the rebels had to attack the Swan City Revolutionary Party.

However, at this time, after three days of repairing, the Revolutionary Party was already ready to wait for a batch of armored trains from the north to enter the city.

...the nineteenth day of the Great Swan Revolt...

Due to the urgency of the frontline situation, Seagate, who was originally under investigation in the Bureau of Investigation, was released and returned to the battlefield. However, after Seagate put on her military uniform and went to the front line, she looked at the mountains and militarized buildings of Swan City again, and her expression was exhausted. of.

These urban buildings, which had been reinforced by the rebel army, were originally battlefields where the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie fought bloodily at every step, but they were all given up to the rebel army after a few days.

Even though the dragon blood gendarmes are diehard loyalists of the empire, they are all "tired".

Six hours later, the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie rejoined the fray.

On an abandoned steel factory in the northeast of Swan City, the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie tried to infiltrate. captured the railway station in the area,

However, when they rushed into the area, they found that a large number of rockets were fired around them. Oh, these are assembled with water pipes and chemical raw materials, and even have liquefied gas tanks.

These sensitive "civilian industrial products" aided by the city of Misur under the control of the Peasant Youth Association during the war have now become the most important firepower of the revolutionaries in Swan City.

As the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie easily bypassed the firepower point of the building and broke into the inner square, the flames of the cloudburst rose in the dark night, and Seagate, with bloodstains from shrapnel on his face, was uncertain in the flash.

Her elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties under the opponent's "digging holes" style of play.

The dragon blood warrior suddenly heard the sound of machine guns firing from the side, and his complexion changed drastically.

She realized that the revolutionaries now wanted to outflank her.

...Wei Keng is now trying to capture these imperial loyalists...

At this time, three hundred meters away, Enma and Ludis, the leaders of Swan City, were standing here.

Ludis is the soul of the uprising, but Enma is the tactical leader in the fighting of the rebel army in the past ten days.

Enma defeated a large number of mindless active attacks, enhanced the tactics of the rebel army, and improved the upper and lower military organization systems, achieving success time and time again. This allowed Enma to leave a considerable part of the morale of the "uprising", which provided the foundation for Enma to become a hero in the future.

Now Ludis controls the combat cannon fodder composed of clockwork robots to cover the rebel army, gradually surrounding the Dragon Blood Gendarmerie. Wei Keng reminded: "On the other side, we have taken down the most stubborn force."

Ludis looked at the front-line artillery shooting each other on the battlefield, nodded and said: "We succeeded."

Enma recorded: "It's still early, but everything is difficult at the beginning. We have a firm foothold."
