Alien Empire Total War - Chapter 252

One thing, the director of Enclans was wrong. Even if the number of casualties in the bloodshed on the square was low, the citizens of Enclans still deeply remembered that the army had shot at them. deeds.

This kind of deep impression is like a fertilizer that promotes fertilizer, irrigating the hearts of the citizens of Enkelans who had previously planted the seeds of dissatisfaction, allowing that seed to take root, break out of the ground, and grow vigorously.

It’s just that the bloodshed in the square during the day has already shrouded a faint haze in the hearts of the civilians, making them afraid to continue taking to the streets for counter-protest meetings in a short period of time.

And in the newspapers that night, just as Creighton Heller thought, the bloodshed during the day was published. In the report, he used sharp words to criticize the brutality of the gendarmerie, and they should not punish innocent people. of civilians shot and fired, although the gendarmerie rescued the civilians in a timely manner after the incident, this still did not restore their image in the report.

However, the reports on this incident were limited to these newspapers and magazines that night. The newspapers and magazines that were launched the next day did not mention what happened the previous day, which made the citizens think about it. stand up.

Citizens’ fantasies seem to have been confirmed quickly. I don’t know who spread it first. Someone who claimed to be the editor of a certain newspaper said that in the middle of the night on the day of the bloodshed, the heads of several newspapers in the city were in charge. All were knocked on the door of the house by the gendarmerie, threatening them not to publish any report on the bloodshed in tomorrow’s newspapers.

Those in charge who were threatened immediately agreed and issued strict death orders not to allow any reports on the incident to be published, which is why there were no relevant reports in the newspapers issued the next day.

This rumor spread quickly in the streets of the city, and many citizens believed it, because the act of suppressing the news was indeed something that the parliament could do.

When the authorities noticed the rumor, they immediately investigated it, arrested dozens of citizens who were spreading the rumor to others, interrogated them, and tried to find the rumor from the arrested citizens. However, the rumors that the unfortunate citizens knew were already spread by the N-hands. As for the inquiries of the gendarmerie, they didn’t know the three questions, and finally they had no choice but to put them back.

The development of the matter exceeded the expectations of the imperial agents. They keenly found that the current atmosphere was very suitable for their actions, but because of the bloodshed, most citizens dared to be angry but did not dare to speak up, inciting them to participate in the riots. Not realistic in the short term.

Considering this reason, the agents did not incite a riot right away, but spread more rumors among the people, provoking the conflict between the civilians and the government even more acutely.

At the same time, the news of the bloodshed that was sent to the front by them also spread to the 3rd Army Corps that was still resisting the Imperial Army on the front line. Those soldiers from Enkrans City learned that their family members were very likely When they participated in that demonstration and died at the gunpoint of the gendarmerie, they couldn’t sit still.

They gathered together and petitioned the officers, wanting to know the real situation in the capital from the officers’ mouths, but the speed of the imperial agents transmitting the information was faster than the circulation of the newspapers, and those officers did not know the specific situation in the rear. Hmm ah ah ah, perfunctory in the past.

The soldiers were naturally dissatisfied with the officer’s perfunctory attitude, but before they could act, the imperial army opposite them launched another offensive.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the next battle report of the Imperial Army after the annihilation of the First Army of Enkelan.

After annihilating the 1st Enkelan Army, the two armies of the Imperial Army focused their offensive on the strongholds of the 3rd Army, while the five divisions of the 4th Army that went south to support them, plus the already active The Tenth Division on the southern battlefield was organized separately and was responsible for attacking from the coastline.

It is worth mentioning that the capital of the Republic of Enkelans is a prosperous coastal city. As long as the six divisions of the Fourth Army can defeat the obstacles in front of them and continue to move forward, it will take less than a week. , you can hit the outskirts of Enclans directly.

However, the Enklan people will not let them advance so smoothly. Even if they lose a fleet, the Enklan people’s naval strength is still strong. They can still let the warships cruise in the sea and integrate the battlefield on land into the naval guns. Within range, provide intense fire support from the sea.

You know, at least dozens of artillery pieces are deployed on the broadside of each battleship, and these artillery salvos are more powerful than the artillery fire of a division of the Enclave Army.

It was under the threat of the Enklan navy that the six divisions of the Fourth Army were in a standoff with the Enklan army. They did not open the battle for a long time. They were not in a hurry to attack, but waited for the support of their own navy.

That’s right, it’s the support of our own navy.

After winning the Second Battle of the Sea of ​​Prodden, the Imperial Navy returned to friendly ports with the captured warships, repaired the hulls of the warships, and supplemented the sailors lost in the battle.

The Imperial Navy was not in a hurry. According to Vitalig’s idea, he was going to wait for the captured warships of the Enjun to be repaired and assigned sailors, and then put those warships into the fleet’s combat sequence, and then set sail to support the frontline. battlefield.

With the support of the system, the speed of UU reading www.uukanshu.com will not be too slow, and they can officially set off in early December at the latest.

Looking back on the land battlefield, despite relying on strongholds for defense, the defense of the Enkelan Third Army was still slightly difficult. They had to face the two armies with high morale of the imperial army. Under the fierce attack of the latter, One or two strongholds were abandoned almost every day, and the bad news that kept coming back from the front made the commander of the Third Army unable to stop worrying, and his hair fell out in great numbers.

It is not that the commanders of the Enklan people did not think about withdrawing their troops, but the terrain of the Enklan Republic is mainly dominated by the plains. Once they choose to abandon those strongholds and withdraw their troops, I am afraid they can only retreat to the towns and fight the enemy more tragically. street fighting.

Therefore, unless there is a last resort, Commander Enkelan will not take the initiative to order the withdrawal of the army and hand over the repaired stronghold defense line to the enemy.

However, even if they do not take the initiative to withdraw their troops and surrender their strongholds, the offensive of the imperial army will continue to erode the number of strongholds. Under the fierce shelling of the imperial artillery, the thin walls of the strongholds are like paper and will soon be destroyed. , after the wall is destroyed, the fall of the stronghold is only a matter of time – this is one of the reasons for the rapid fall of the stronghold.
