18th century total war

Chapter 286 For Freedom!

"Newspapers! Newspapers!

The southern army of the cannibal Levi Charles arrived in the Tyrol area yesterday, and a fierce battle broke out with us! "

On the streets of Vienna, half-children in the slums were temporarily employed by newspaper offices that worked overtime, waving everywhere the extra editions printed overnight, running and shouting all over the street.

Since the outbreak of the war, newspapers in Vienna immediately started a 24-hour non-stop publishing model, making a lot of money!
A well-dressed young man wearing a bowler hat took a newspaper from a newsboy, and after giving the money, he looked at the bold headline on it, with an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.

Although there are many newsboys on the street, the newspapers in the hands of the newsboys are sold out quickly. Except for the crowd who can't eat enough, almost everyone who has no worries about food and clothing will buy a newspaper.

Of course, only those who have no worries about food and clothing can understand the words in the newspaper.

After reading the newspaper, the young man pressed his hat and walked quickly in one direction.

Soon, he came to the outskirts of the city's military camp. He couldn't go in, but he just walked around outside and got a rough idea of ​​the number of soldiers stationed in the military camp.

There are not a few people like him in Vienna. These people are all key members of the Austrian Freedom Party under the Lindenwan Brotherhood.

Thanks to the propaganda of the Lindenwan Brotherhood, the political ideas of the French Revolution have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not only the poor who cannot eat enough to be fooled, but also a group of educated and knowledgeable middle class and even a few nobles and rich people!
That's right, in Vienna, known as the stronghold of conservative forces in Europe, there are actually nobles joining the Revolutionary Party!
After the Lindenwan Brotherhood has taken root in major cities, it will have a double identity.

One layer is the ordinary gangster forces, and the other layer is the revolutionary party that propagates revolutionary ideas and does some dangerous work.

Generally speaking, the revolutionary parties are locals recruited and absorbed, and their names are the Liberal Party, the Democratic Party, etc., which sound like a party that is very close to the people.

And the Austrian Freedom Party in Vienna is an illegal organization wanted by the government!
At night, the young man came to a dirty factory building in a slum.

When he arrived, dozens of people in different costumes had already gathered in the spacious workshop.

From the leader of the gangsters in the slums to the aristocrats who can step into Vienna's high society and the butlers appointed by the rich, there are representatives of all social classes.

After this young man came in, he didn't know most of the people inside!

Because this is no longer the crowd summoned by the Austrian Freedom Party, but the crowd summoned by the Lindenwan Brotherhood behind it.

After seeing that everyone was here, a Frenchman came to the temporary podium and said in fluent German loudly: "According to the latest news I got, the last wave of troops in Vienna has gone to the front. Only the police and a small number of city guards.

This is exactly the timing we've been waiting for!
The dawn of liberty guides us, and at midnight today, it is time for us to establish a free republic!

Everyone present will be the heroes of the new Austrian Republic!

for freedom! "

"for freedom!"

The person below immediately raised his right arm and clenched his fist and shouted.

After a simple mobilization meeting, everyone immediately returned to their lairs or luxurious private villas, where there were subordinates they developed and controlled, waiting for their orders.

This is the result of several years of development of the Lindenwan Brotherhood!

Capital cities such as Vienna and Berlin have always been the focus of the Lindenwan Brotherhood's development of revolutionary forces. If there is [-]% of the power, the Lindenwan Brotherhood will put [-]% of its power in the capital city, and the remaining [-]% will be dispersed. into other cities...

On the eve of midnight, the big and small gangs in the Vienna slums gathered a total of thousands of gangsters and even 'temporary workers' with various weapons in their hands.

They didn't know that they were going to make a revolution, but they were gathered by their bosses, and only the backbone leaders among them understood what they were going to do!
Next door to the area where these gangs are located is a group of bosses from all walks of life, who organize their employees and cronies and take up all the weapons they can collect.

Among them, the bosses of the tavern even pulled over the women who were engaged in the flesh industry.

These women didn't know what kind of benefits they were promised. One by one, they took shotguns and even kitchen knives and axes, and followed their bosses to the streets.

It was not until the moment before the revolution that these people were informed of their goals that it was too late even for an informer!

A group of Vienna policemen were on patrol when they suddenly saw a dense crowd in front of them. They immediately picked up their police whistles and blew a warning.

When the police whistle blew, this team of policemen did not know that they were facing a group of rebels who were preparing for a revolution. Less than ten policemen held flintlock guns in their hands and pointed their guns at the people walking with various weapons. coming crowd.

Police captain Dorie Alton looked at the crowd who were still walking forward facing the guns, and he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment on his face.

He shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Stop, put down your weapons, or we will shoot you for treason!"

As soon as the words fell, the crowd on the opposite side suddenly burst into shouts, as if the leading bosses had promised some benefits.

Doriel looked dumbfounded at a part-time woman in a tavern whom he frequented frequently, a pair of lethal weapons enough to bury his whole head in, rushed over with an ax in her hand and her face full of excitement...

'Are these people crazy?
They were attacking the police!
Could it be that it was too dark for them to see my police uniform clearly?

No, why did the group of women who only screamed under men rushed forward with weapons!

Oh!my God!

Is this the end of the world? ! '

Although Dory Airton couldn't believe it, his professional instinct made him subconsciously call out the order to fire.

After a round of gunfire, several unlucky people fell down on the opposite side, including the top-notch women that Doriel usually visited.

The facts in front of us prove that no matter how big the weapon is, it will be blown up by bullets!

Looking at the top product whose chest fat was punctured and fell to the ground, Dorie Elton felt sorry for no reason...

Soon, Dory Airton had no time to think about it, because his team had already begun to flee!
There is no way, the rioting crowd who received a round of guns are still rushing forward!

Dory Air looked left and right, and quickly followed the footsteps of his team members, without any intention of restraining them.

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that staying and resisting is a mortal situation, and those people are already crazy!

Dorie Alton wondered, what good would it do them to attack the police?
Dori Ayrton glanced behind him as he ran, and found that the group of people seemed to have spotted him and were pursuing him!

Dory Airton is not a professional soldier. His years of police career have long since made him lose the muscles he had when he joined the army. Only his belly is growing day by day...

After running more than 100 meters, Dori Airton began to pant!
Immediately afterwards, Dory Alton discovered the source of the crime that made him gasp—the flintlock gun in his hand was too heavy!
There are also bullet bags that are usually used as a deterrent!

Throw!
In order to escape, you have to throw it away!
After Dorialton figured it out, he threw away the musket and bullet bag in his hand without hesitation. He saw that there were rioting civilians chasing after him, and he threw away the few valuable things and currency he had on him. on the ground!
The other policemen who ran with Dorielton followed suit when they saw the mob behind them start to scramble for property.

Doriel turned a few alleys, and finally got rid of the mob who was 'blocked' by the property...

Dori Ayrton leaned against the wall to slow down his violently beating heart, and suddenly heard messy gunfire coming from far away in the city. It was not only the standard muskets used by the Vienna police, but also inferior self-made muskets and shotguns. sound!

And the gunshots are getting more and more frequent, and there are more and more directions from which the gunshots are coming from!

Dorie Ayrton finally realized that they might have encountered a great event!
Serious civil unrest broke out in Vienna, the capital of the powerful Austrian Empire!

And this is obviously an organized premeditation!
Dori Ayrton glanced at the subordinates who had escaped with him and found that two people were missing...

At this time, he didn't care about looking for his younger brother who had been with him for several years, and waved to his subordinates who had thrown away their guns and ammunition: "Hurry up and go back to the police station, this is a riot, not an ordinary security incident!

Now all the troops in Vienna have gone to the front line, if you don't want to lose your job, follow my footsteps! "

It is obvious that being a policeman is a good profession in all times and in all over the world. After these Vienna policemen heard the words of their captain, they were immediately full of motivation.

Don't lose your police job!

Today's policemen are superior to ordinary people in front of them. Let alone ordinary people, even those domineering gangsters, when they see the police, they treat them like uncles, and occasionally they even give some benefits to make them happy. The police patrol their territory less...

Although the wages of the police in this era are low, they cannot stand up to their gray income.

It can be said that the better the local gangs are, the better the police department will be.

Officials eat meat, and the police officers who run errands below can also drink soup. Although it is not much, it is enough to make an ordinary family envious.

In the security department of this era, those captains of police officers are quite interesting. After all, their law enforcement power relies on their subordinates to support their facades.

What's more, the police is a high-risk occupation, and there are not enough benefits. It is normal for a younger brother to sell the chief when he is in danger.

Of course, this time Dory Alton didn't blame his younger brother for running away early. After all, there were too many mobs on the opposite side, and fighting hard would mean death...

Dori Ayrton took the rest of his men and rushed towards the police station empty-handed.

As long as they arrive at the police station, Dori Ayrton and his team can get new guns, and there are many police officers in the police station, so they can gather more power to suppress the mob.

However, when Dory Alton approached the intersection of the police station, what he heard was howling and fighting.

He paused, stopped his subordinates from rushing over, carefully pressed against the corner wall, and looked towards the police station in the distance.

At this sight, Dori Ayrton's three souls and seven souls immediately scared away two souls!

After being stunned for a long time, I took back my lost soul...

At this time, the door of the Vienna Police Station was already crowded with violently attacking mobs. The ground was full of dead and injured policemen and mobs. Those injured policemen would be beaten to death by the red-eyed mobs!

The steps in front of the gate of the police station were stained blood red!

When Dory Alton was observing, the gate of the police station had been completely breached, and there were still surviving policemen in the police station building who were fighting to the death, so there was the sound of fighting.

However, there were still a steady stream of mobs rushing in from outside, and Dorielle knew that the Vienna Police Department was over...

What Dory Airton arrived at was the police headquarters, not an ordinary branch!

There is a small armory in the police headquarters specifically for arming police officers.

In fact, there is not much difference between the police and the regular army in this era. Both are equipped with flintlock guns, similar to the second and third line troops. If the enemy attacks the city, the police must also participate in the battle.

"Captain, what should we do now?
Would you like to take a look at the municipal building?
Or take a look at the barracks of the City Guards? "

Dory Alton's subordinates suggested in a hurry.

"Now the whole city is in riots and there are gunshots everywhere. The places you mentioned must be the focus of the mob's attack. At this time, didn't we kill ourselves in the past?

There were too many people rioting this time, and it was too sudden. The police headquarters was so easily breached. It must be because most of the police went home to sleep, and the rest of the police were patrolling outside like us, so the mob took advantage captured.

Today's chaos is beyond the control of little people like us. If you want to survive, listen to me, take off this uniform and go home and close the door. When tomorrow dawns, the situation in Vienna will almost be clear ..."

"No, what we did is dereliction of duty. We will never want to be police officers again..."

"Hehe, if you are willing to be loyal to the emperor, I won't stop you. If you dereliction of duty, just dereliction of duty. I don't want to die!"

Dori Alton sneered, and then began to quickly take off his uniform. There was a set of shirts inside, so he wouldn't be running naked on the streets of Vienna...

The rest of the police officers looked at each other after seeing the behavior of their captain, and began to take off their uniforms one after another. Even the person who said that he did not want to lose his job as a policeman also took off his clothes from the bottom of his heart...

There is no way, this uniform is too eye-catching, normally this uniform is a sharp weapon to frighten Xiao Xiao, but now it is a life-threatening talisman.

After undressing, Dorielton and many of his men dispersed to their respective houses.

Policemen like Dori Ayrton were not a minority in the city of Vienna at this time. The moment the Vienna Police Headquarters was breached, the revolution was already half won!
