18th century total war

Chapter 425
"Boss, I heard that the emperors and noble ministers from other worlds have fled Washington. We are here, have we been abandoned?"

In downtown Washington, on a barricade defense line piled up with sandbags and various sundries, a puppet American soldier in a blue military uniform and a three-cornered hat asked the officer with some fear.

In the distant sky, the roar of artillery fire can be heard from time to time, and the soldiers of the American puppet army present are not young, so they can naturally hear that the roar of artillery fire cannot be their own, because the Arigado Empire... or the United States The military factories of the United States cannot produce artillery of that level!
It is obvious that the artillery fire from the invaders has not stopped, and it sounds like the distance is not too far. What does this mean?
Even the low-level soldiers of these puppet troops began to murmur.

As for the fleeing of the upper class of the Arigado Empire, it was not a small group of people. After all, there were still many nobles and remnants of the Arigado Empire, and these people were often a large family, accompanied by many servants.

After the Arigado Empire conquered the United States of America, whether it was the royal family or the nobles, they all played their cards in the high society on the Makabacca plane.

Except for the children of nobles who are old and in poor health, or who love men and can't help themselves, which one is not a group of wives and concubines?
Oh, by the way, in the Arigado Empire, this is not called a concubine's room, but a mistress.

Or she doesn't even have the title of mistress at all, she's just a recruited maid.

The Americans and the alien races of the Arigado Empire are all Caucasian in appearance, and there is no difference in aesthetics. As the conquerors of the upper class of the Arigado Empire, they naturally let go of their hands and feet to enrich their beds.

Of course, even though the senior officials of the Arigado Empire have been trying their best to conceal the sudden departure of so many people in Washington City, the news still spread uncontrollably. As time goes by, even the soldiers at the bottom have heard this kind of gossip. .

As soon as these words came out, the other soldiers around looked at their chief, a lieutenant, in unison.

Their task is only to defend this barricade. There are not many people, so the highest officer only has the rank of lieutenant.

However, although the American puppet army is a regular army in name, with the continuous defeat on the front line and the unlimited expansion of the Arigado Empire, the quality of the puppet army is getting lower and lower.

The result is that the American puppet army is like a group of 'rebels'. The soldiers under their command are equivalent to bandits in official skins, and the officials are like legal bandit leaders.

This has a lot to do with the Aligado Empire's inability to issue military pay.

Unrestricted military expansion led to financial collapse, or the Arigado Empire took all useful materials for itself, forced the American puppet army to work with violence, and then subsidized the "military use" by conniving them to attack ordinary people.

Not surprisingly, although the strength of the American puppet army has not decreased, its combat effectiveness has become weaker and weaker.

However, doing so by the Arigado Empire also caused a lot of trouble for the North American Expeditionary Force of the Europa Empire.

Precisely because the American puppet troops have become full of gangsterism, after they are dispersed, they often turn from official bandits into real bandits, plundering everywhere, causing the security environment in war-torn areas to fall directly to the worst situation.

The top management of the Aligado Empire has a mentality of destroying this place if I can't get it.

They continue to expand the army, and the muskets they issue are the foundation for the defeated troops to become bandits.

Allowing those American puppet army officers to turn soldiers into their own private soldiers is also to better turn the defeated soldiers into organized bandits.

Of course, this connivance is also related to the escape ethos revealed by the upper echelons of the Arigado Empire. Ever since the Qinglong Legion was annihilated, the Arigado Empire’s control over the American puppet army has been getting worse day by day...

If it weren't for the remnants of the Arigado Empire and the powerful force of the nobles themselves, the puppet army of the United States would have mutinied long ago.

The only thing the Arigado Empire can do is to organize all the American men into the team and arm them before all the thirteen states in eastern North America fall.

The purpose of the reorganization is not to resist the Europa invaders, but to let them be broken up to form organized bandits.

After all, it is more dangerous for people who have served in the army to be bandits.

And the problem of the proliferation of guns left by the United States of America did not pay too much for the Arigado Empire to arm all the men.

The senior management of the defeated Arigado Empire wished that the expeditionary force of the Europa Empire would be stuck here, and they would have no time to pursue them.

At this time, the soldiers and officers in charge of this barricade defense line are equivalent to a small group.

"Boss, the Arigado Empire is doomed. Sooner or later, the defense line outside Washington will be breached. At that time, we will face the soldiers of the Europa Empire..."

"There are more than 20 troops stationed on the Washington Defense Line. The European invaders who attacked are only the advance army, and they don't even have 8 people. We should not fail.

Moreover, the top executives of the Arigado Empire have fled, and we Americans can just seek independence. As long as we repel the attack of the advance army of the Europa Empire, we can declare the restoration of the country in Washington! "

The lieutenant reminded the surrounding soldiers.

This is why Washington did not surrender immediately!
"Boss, the emperor of the Arigado Empire, are you willing to let us restore the United States?"

The soldier who didn't know what was going on asked expectantly.

North America is different from other places in the world. It was greatly influenced by the thoughts of the French Revolution. At the time, the United States of America secretly promoted nationalist ideas. Therefore, most of the new generation of American citizens have nationalist feelings.

During the reign of the Arigado Empire, there was a loose recovery organization in the puppet army of the United States, but the invasion of the Europa Empire came too fast, and after the invasion, they "supported war with war" on the mainland of the United States, causing heinous disasters , Do not treat Americans as human beings at all!
This caused the officers and soldiers in the American puppet army who were influenced by nationalist ideas to put aside their hostility towards the Arigado Empire and instead fight against the invasion of the Europa Empire.

This is also the reason why the American puppet army has not been trained for long, and its weapons and equipment are completely backward, but it is still capable of fighting under the attack of the advance legion of the European Empire's North American Expeditionary Force.

Emperor Alensus also understood the national sentiments in the American puppet army, so he guided them.

Soothe the conflict between the high-level of the Arigado Empire and the various classes in the United States.

Until the high-level leaders of the Arigado Empire fled collectively, there were still many beauties who fled with their belongings.

It's not that those beautiful traitors were brainwashed, on the contrary, these beautiful traitors who escaped were either political bigwigs or capital tycoons. They fled with the senior officials of the Aligado Empire just to protect themselves.

The Europa Empire established by Emperor Li Wei is really too domineering. It is a gesture of killing your whole family if you don't surrender.

Moreover, Emperor Li Wei's hypnotic technique is no longer a secret. In the Europa Empire, Emperor Li Wei's ability was deified, claiming that it was God's apostle who was influencing the world...

Of course, this kind of remarks can only be used to fool the common people. For high-ranking politicians, or capital predators who are used to the ugliness of human nature, it is farting to influence the world, and the truth is to hypnotize and manipulate people's hearts!

They didn't want to become the slaves of Emperor Li Wei, and even their minds were controlled, so they could only escape with the Arigado Empire, just like when they knelt down in front of Emperor Alensus without hesitation in the United States of America. There is a reason.

The general trend of the Arigado Empire is gone. For these beauties, it is not all a disadvantage. It is precisely because the Arigado Empire has lost most of its military power that those beauties will be paid more attention to by the Arigado Empire, and even successfully promoted to the Arigado Empire. The aristocratic class of many empires has obtained the secret method of breathing for fighting qi cultivation...

Although there is no magical energy in the new world, the achievements of cultivating fighting qi are limited and extremely difficult.

It is even difficult to give birth to fighting energy seeds.

But as long as you get the secrets of cultivation, there is no problem in using it to strengthen your body. Being unable to cultivate fighting energy seeds is not a big problem. If you cultivate a peak physique of an ordinary person, you can basically eliminate most diseases and extend your lifespan.

This is a good thing that can prolong life for decades!
Therefore, even if the military strength of the Arigado Empire collapsed, it still has a huge appeal to these upper-class Americans.

However, the Arigado Empire has become a force like rogues, and has lost the basic foundation it has just acquired, so it naturally needs the help of local snakes like beauty traitors.

Those politicians and capitalists possess not only the wealth and resources in their hands, but more importantly, their personal connections!

With the help of these beauties, the Arigado Empire can quickly open up the situation in other parts of the North American continent, and will not run around like headless chickens.

This is also a win-win situation.

Those who are really abandoned are only those passionate celebrities and the middle and lower classes of American society.

For example, Lieutenant Nikola, who is now thinking about the dream of restoring the country.

The figure of more than 20 troops he mentioned is not an imaginary number. Under the rule of the Arigado Empire, Washington has been gathering troops.

Later, these troops were meaningless, and naturally they all stayed in Washington to consume the strength of the advance legion and buy time for the escape of the Arigado Empire.

However, ninety-nine percent of the more than 20 troops are militiamen who have just taken up arms. The troops that can really fight were defeated by the advance army as early as the early stage of the war.

After all, the Arigado Empire had too little time to rule the thirteen states of North America. It didn't even have time to develop a 'modern' army.

However, Lieutenant Nikola didn't know that much. He only knew that the 20-odd enemy troops were much more than the 8-odd attacking enemy troops, and they were on the defensive side.

Lieutenant Nikola scanned a circle of soldiers under his command, and found that there were still a few people who looked terrified, obviously unbelieving, and threw what he thought was a blockbuster again.

"Today in Washington, all military and political power has been controlled by the Washington city government. There are all well-known celebrities there, and there is not a single alien human being.

No, to be precise, there was not a single human from another world in the entire city.

Those Aliga people have long been frightened by the army of the Europa Empire and ran away naked. Now we are fighting for the restoration of the American nation, not for the conquerors of other worlds!
As long as the advance army of the Europa Empire is defeated, the Washington City Government will notify the thirteen North American states, calling for the American nation to rise again!
North America belongs to America, never surrender to invaders! "

Lieutenant Nikola was impassioned, spitting and shouting, and moved himself...

I was so moved that I completely forgot how the United States of America was conquered by the Arigado Empire!
If the so-called American spirit is really useful, they don't need to restore the country at this time...

Of course, the soldiers at the bottom of the society did not have so many opinions. When they saw that their leader was so confident and what he said sounded like the truth, the haze on their faces was instantly swept away.

"The boss is right, we are now fighting for the American nation, the American nation is us, we are fighting for ourselves!

Defeat the Europa invaders and we can live in the land of Americans again! "

One of the soldiers agreed with an excited face.

As more and more soldiers echoed, everyone's morale immediately returned to the peak, cheering with guns in their hands.

In the case of Nikola's troops, barricade defenses can be seen everywhere in Washington.

This is naturally what the Washington city government did.

Alonsos knew how powerful the remaining American puppet troops were. If they did not have enough morale, they might not even be able to withstand a charge from the advance legions.

Even if they have an absolute numerical advantage.

In war, victory or defeat is never determined by numbers.

Whether in ancient times or modern times, even in the 21st century of Livy's previous life, the number of troops did not play much role on the battlefield.

During the Iraq War, Iraq claimed to have an army of one million troops, but the fact that the war caused few casualties to the U.S. military shocked the world.

The vast majority of the Iraqi army, without even seeing the US military, was blown to pieces by air strikes and Tomahawk missiles...

It is not difficult to understand why the world powers at that time continued to reduce the number of conventional armies.

The conventional army is really of little use in modern warfare, and it also consumes huge military expenditures...

The so-called Washington city government is nothing more than a group of staunch supporters of nationalist ideas left behind by Alonsos.

These people with empty ideals but no experience in governing the country, the means of boosting morale are quite good, which is also their only advantage.

Enough to cause damage to the enemy forces attacking Washington.

Moreover, even if these people win, with their fake nationalist ideology, it is impossible to lead the United States to rise again, and naturally it is even more impossible to take revenge on the Arigado Empire that once destroyed the United States.
