The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

While the World Government's counterattack preparations were in full swing, the rebellious revolutionary army was not idle either. The mobilized militia was vigilantly holding meetings. Although it seemed that they were not at an advantage now, they dared to risk their lives and were ready to defend the fruits of the revolution until the last moment.

At this time, the order from the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Party finally came down. After basically winning the Battle of Ohara, the Genoa Night and the Andorran War of Independence, which were originally used to attract naval firepower, could finally come to an end. In order to complete the aftermath, the Revolutionary Party also issued an order to abandon the city and save strength to evacuate.

Of course, this was not a retreat out of fear by the revolutionaries, but a strategic retreat by the revolutionaries to gradually reduce the intensity of the war after basically achieving their strategic goals. For example, since they could not completely control the port of Genoa like the Kingdom of Andorra, according to the central government's intention, these places could be abandoned as appropriate.

These military actions to control large cities were, to a certain extent, to support the actions of the Revolutionary Party on the battlefield of O'Hara. It was not the product of the Revolutionary Party's desire to change its strategic thinking, but a stopgap measure.

The revolutionary party's fundamental thinking has not wavered. It still holds the idea of ​​launching revolutions in remote areas and finally seizing power. Only after the final step is truly well prepared will the revolutionary party launch a general attack on the core areas ruled by the world government. Only at this level will the revolutionary party have the strength to build a new world and establish a base that is truly capable of long-term rule.

The current situation is that although the Revolutionary Party's actions in the city have achieved great success, it has also inevitably attracted the strong attention of the World Government. Considering that the World Government can't even take care of Akainu's defeat in Ohara, the Revolutionary Party's control of Genoa Port is indeed very uncomfortable for them.

In order to recapture the port, the World Government also assembled a large number of troops in the direction of Genoa. And it was not just the Navy and the Kingdom of Italy that sent troops. The Port of Genoa was not just about a member of the World Government. As the hub of several important shipping routes, it was the intersection of countless interests.

Its position was so important that even a true world noble, a celestial dragon, came to the front line of the war. Therefore, it was not a good idea for the revolutionaries to hold out in Genoa. The most important point was that the victory of the revolutionaries in Genoa did not trigger a larger chain reaction.

Not to mention those large cities where there were no revolutionary activities, even other cities belonging to the Kingdom of Italy did not experience any major fluctuations. This also strongly confirmed the theory proposed by Marx and Engels that urban centers were unacceptable. Even if the revolutionaries seized the dominant position in the big cities, they would not be able to lead the entire country to victory in the revolution.

The reason is still the lack of productivity. The countries in the One Piece world are made up of islands. In this case, the development of cities is limited, and the cities on the islands will never be super cities like in the previous life. The productivity of a city is really not comparable to that of an entire country.

At present, the revolutionary uprising army in the port of Genoa is facing such a dilemma. Although the revolutionaries have won the victory in the port, they are unable to spread the message to other parts of the Kingdom of Italy. This gives the reactionaries time to gather their forces.

Even the Kingdom of Italy assembled a large number of intervention troops, and their numbers were no less than the government troops besieging at sea. You know, in addition to the navy and the Kingdom of Italy, several surrounding member states also sent intervention troops to attack in the open sea.

At present, the total number of coalition forces gathered outside has reached 3. Among them are not only the navy, but also the regular army sent by these member countries. The World Government even hired all the mercenary groups and bounty hunters that could be found in the West Sea.

The momentum of the Italian government forces attacking from the land was no less strong. The Italian government, which originally had weak national defense, managed to decisively organize a considerable-scale army in a short period of time, with a total number of 20,000 people.

Although it is said that this government army was actually formed by the joint efforts of several major domestic gangs, it can also be seen that the strength of the reactionary class still occupies a great advantage within the member states controlled by the World Government.

As long as the people in power in the world government can really make up their minds and give up some of their interests, the world government can still mobilize some forces.

Now, the revolutionary party's original strategy of distracting the navy's demon-killing orders has been basically completed, so there is no need to continue fighting the navy.

In order to instigate this great uprising, the Revolutionary Party sent a large number of experienced political cadres. These people can play a greater role in other places, rather than being consumed in the upcoming battle in a street fight in a city with the World Government Army.

In order to preserve the manpower, Marx and Engels issued a formal order to retreat on behalf of the Party Central Committee. It is worth mentioning that long before O'Hara's war officially began, Marx and Engels, in the name of the front committee, drew a squadron from O'Hara's precious combat power to support the revolutionaries in Genoa.

The ultimate goal of this fleet is to assist the elite revolutionary forces in Genoa to evacuate. To this end, the revolutionaries even sent a whole fleet to evacuate all the main forces at once. Other small forces will also take the opportunity to break out inland, which is the best way to preserve strength.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Revolutionary Party will never engage in a deadlocked war with the World Government. Being trapped in one place and consuming the World Government is like using one's own weaknesses to fight against the strengths of the World Government. Marx and Engels would not do this.

Soon, before the outer government forces' attack began, the liaison sent by the Red Flag Fleet squadron, which had been hovering around the sea, finally contacted the defenders inside the Genoa port, and the evacuation plan for the defenders inside the port was about to begin.

Because the defenders in the city controlled the artillery, the revolutionaries also controlled the sea power within the range of the artillery. The plan of the Red Flag Fleet that came to support was also very simple, relying on the deterrent power of the artillery. It was best to evacuate the defenders in the city before the government army officially launched the attack while the government army could not control the sea.

However, not long after Darius led the Red Flag Fleet to the port, the enemy's attack began again. The enemy was not going to play house, and when they realized that the rebels in the city were waiting for reinforcements to arrive, even though the government army was not prepared at this time, under Akainu's insistence, the government army still launched an attack.

Of course, Akainu, Aokiji and others don't know that their opponent is still their old rival in Ohara. In Akainu's view, pirates must not be allowed to leave in a swagger after destroying the world order. This is a blasphemy against justice.

Therefore, without the need for the Celestial Dragons to urge him, Akainu led his navy to take the initiative to launch the action. This battle was not for the Celestial Dragons, but for the morality that the navy still insisted on.
