Warhammer Throne

This year’s Kieslov’s Maslenitsa has been very sluggish. For more than a decade, the downloading of songs and dances in the whole kingdom is rare even in the kingdom’s capital, Kislov. Now there are only depressions and loneliness on the streets, refugees. They are still lingering, and this is because the Ostermark province of the Empire has sent a new batch of relief food, plus the nobles, generals and Boyers were forced to spit out a little spoils by the czar, the refugees Can barely survive.

Even so, the city of Kislov still had to carry out dozens of frozen corpses a day.

"I remember when the Red Tsar was reigning, at this time of the year, every family would take to the streets to make and cook crepes. Traditionally, the first crepes were given to the poor as a memorial to the dead. Children. Early in the morning, we went to the streets to make snowmen. Wealthy people began to cook pancakes early in the morning, and people began to tie up dolls with straw and cloth to symbolize winter." Beria came out of Bocaha Palace, and he said to his lieutenant Seliepin. "Look at the present? Just forget about refugees and poor people. Even wealthy people are rare!"

"Sometimes I really want to... Um!" Xie Lieping was fully armed, holding a small meal bag with meat in his hand. This is the food for the Imperial Embassy today. Kislov is seriously short of food. However, the food reserves in the imperial military camp and embassy are still very rich.

"Khorkina?" Beria suddenly turned her head and said in a playful tone: "Tell me, last time your family was in Xie [笔趣阁www.xbqg5200.co] Meat Festival started crepes in the morning. , When is it?"

"If you go back to the general, it was five years ago." The little girl flushed with cold, she said with some trepidation, "After that, there will be fewer and fewer."

"Very good." Beria nodded, he didn't care: "You go to a banquet with me tonight, remember to just eat and don't talk, unless I ask you to say it."

"Yes!" The little girl nodded repeatedly.

After more than a week of recruitment, the Ugol Archer Army led by Beria has recruited and replenished more than 900 people in the local area. These people are all the Ugol elite and many physical strengths in Kislev. A strong man without weapons and equipment, Beria only uses a bearskin coat per person, a set of brand-new weapons and equipment, a standard food ration, a small bag of clinking silver coins, and simple conditions that promise to house his family. There are a large number of Ugore men willing to follow him to leave. Beria carefully selected and left more than 600 people, and mixed with the remaining two hundred people to form a new Ugore Army.

And tonight, he has a banquet to participate in.

Czar Catalin once strictly forbids Beria to redeem the repeat offenders and political prisoners in Cheka prison, because she cannot tolerate these people being released to corrupt the czar’s reputation, nor can she go to other countries.

However, Catalyn did not realize the most critical point, that is, her kingdom is now turbulent and turbulent, not to mention the low-level refugees, even the middle-level bureaucrats, Boyer and even the upper-level nobles and generals. There are also many people who are beginning to become difficult and ineffective. She gave Beria an excuse to approach high officials, nobles, and generals, and when some "small gifts" and "a little thanks" were passed through various When the channels are delivered to these people's homes, some things are completely unblockable.

It was still early in the evening, and Beria and Sereppin were walking around the street with a few Ugol soldiers to inspect the situation.

And now there is a grand occasion on the street, that is, in a corner of the street, it is full of people! There are people everywhere! These refugees dressed in torn gray clothes are huddling together, vying to sell themselves to the Ugol officers here.

"Master! I have been a worker for three months! Can I work?"

"Military master, I can write my name, and I can do arithmetic within twenty. Can I enter the labor camp?"

"Me! Me! Me! I have an engineer qualification certificate! Look, I have been a worker in Prager for two years, can I get in?"

"Military Lord, although I am a woman, I can read and write! I turned out to be Boyer's daughter!"

"Please military master, my family has been hungry for several days! Please let us join the Gulag! I am willing to do anything!"

The scene was noisy, and the Ugol soldiers were trying their best to maintain order, but the people behind still kept coming up, wanting to get a place.

"The Gulag labor camp recruited people from all of Kislov, requiring skilled workers with working experience in factories, or intellectuals, or even aristocratic ladies with literacy skills!" A scholar stood at the door. Shouting, next to him is the Cheka Secret Police. Whenever someone passes the screening, a bowl of red cabbage soup and two pieces of black bread will be delivered.

At the same time, the Ugol people would also give out a sum of money to the Cheka police, which meant that the person was "redeemed" at a very cheap price.

Soon, the people who came to apply for it had a nickname full of black humor, "Gray Animal".

At first, the people of Kislov were skeptical of the so-called "Gulag labor camp", thinking that this was just another Cheka's so-called purge of suspicious elements, but Beria soon came forward and announced that he had joined the Gulag. People in the Lager labor camp will enjoy food rationing and personal protection, as well as a sheltered accommodation environment.

Mrs. Kesler still didn’t believe it, but some people were indeed mad from hunger. Every day dozens of corpses were taken out of the city. So the first person to eat crabs came. He was called Mikhail. Born in a wealthy fisherman's family in Olengrad, he is an encyclopedia-like all-rounder. He came to the city of Kislov to study alone, and with the help of the Erson Church, he finished eight years in only five years. In the course of the year, he knew five languages ​​by himself and was proficient in physics, chemistry, mining and metallurgy.

However, these talents were not used when Kislov encountered difficulties. On the contrary, he was forced to become a refugee because he could not work hard, could not be a soldier, or fish and hunt. He could still make a living by setting up accounts for a shop, but as the situation worsened and the shop closed, he became an unemployed person and lived on the gruel on the street.

Mikhail tried to apply for relief from Czarina Katharine, but when the letter reached the Sisters of Ice Witches, he was "flooded". Originally, the Sisters of Ice Witches sympathized with him and gave him a bag of relief food. When the reply arrived at his side, all that was left was a message.

The lack of ideals and talents made this scholar extremely disappointed in the kingdom. He was already hungry to the point of gnawing grassroots. He saw some "Gulag labor camp" recruiting people to work in Bretania, and It is clear that he welcomes scholars and enjoys food rations and shelter from the dormitory. Mikhail's mind immediately turned. He felt that if someone really wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be so complicated. Cheka could be convicted and arrested at will. Human organization.

He decided to be the first to eat crabs.

Beria naturally knows how important this kind of person is to Ryan. What Bretania lacks is this kind of high-level intellectual! General Ugol not only greeted Mikhail personally and invited Mikhail to have dinner together, but also publicly announced that he had been granted free citizenship and a generous grain ration of 100 grams of meat a day!

With the first one, there will be a second, and with the second, there will be a third. Soon a large number of scholars, high-level technical workers, and those fallen aristocrats who have fallen to drink gruel together flocked to them. And according to the prices negotiated by Beria and the female czar, how much is the adult man, how much is the elderly, how much is the woman, and how much is the child, Kislov’s court instantly received a considerable amount of income, and it also reduced food. Supply pressure.

Once you taste this sweetness, you can't stop it. Now Yezhov, the head of Cheka, has sent people to stare at the meeting place of the "Gulag Labor Camp". Everyone Beria has to pay must be paid on the spot. , Otherwise don’t let people go.

Beria expressed no pressure on this. After the trade, he had a large amount of money in his hand, and he didn't even need to use the special fund given to him by Ryan. The price of these gray animals was very cheap, and the requirements were very low-eat one every day. A meal, a meal of 300 grams of black bread and a large bowl of red cabbage soup can make them feel extremely satisfied.

At this time, Kislov could no longer control it. The refugees had taken the initiative to vote before, but within a few days the taste of the incident had completely changed.

The Cheka Secret Police have started arresting people throughout the city. Those skilled workers and senior intellectuals who did not come out to do work have all caught Gulags and sold them to Beria in exchange for money, and not only himself, but the whole family. After all, the elderly, women, children, and children can also sell money.

During this period of time, Cheka in black uniforms swept the city every day, and Yezhov even took Beria to visit all the prisons except Cheka prison, and asked Beria to "watch the goods" in person. bargain.

And with the passage of time, great aristocrats and Boyers have begun to join this "gray business", and they take the initiative to send the bankrupt distant relatives and surplus people to the Gulag labor camp for sale.

As a result, batches of "gray animals" were escorted by the army to Olengrad, to go to Brittania to start their new lives. It is said that the warm south not only has bread and milk, but also wages. And life security.

"It is expected that there will be two more people." Beria looked at the hot venue, and he shook his head: "Good goods are almost cleaned, and there are not many people left."

"Hey, General, we have already bought three thousand people. You can believe that for these three thousand people, we only spent less than three thousand gold crowns!" Selepin was a little bit emotional, but also a little angry: "Yezhov that bastard, Scum! Do you know the general? His method of arresting people is very cruel. Some ordinary people still have surplus food in their homes. Yezhov asked Cheka to rush in and declare the crime and confiscated the food. Let people set fires just to drive these people into bankruptcy and sell them for money!"

"Very well, the more cruel he is, the better we are." Beria was very calm about this, and he shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, Yezhov must be supported by someone behind him, and these people have made a lot of benefits. "

"Then what shall we do now, General?" Xie Liping sighed, he has not yet adapted from the status of a Ugore mercenary to a regular Breton army.

"It's still early. Let's take a turn."

The two have been wandering for a while. In any case, this is a festival in Kislov after all. The atmosphere in the whole city is better than before. Thanks to the food support from the Ostermark province, the pedestrians on the street are also A little more.

On the commercial street, a hawker was frying the famous pancakes of the Lunar New Year and preparing to sell them. But before the two pancakes were ready to be sold, a Krim guard rushed over and took the pancakes and stuffed them directly into his mouth. Mumbled and walked away: "Well, it's good."

"Military Lord, please, be merciful, you can't do this, we still have family members to feed!" The hawker knelt down and cried out, "What about our family like you?"

"You can give your family pancakes, idiot!" The Krim guard wiped his mouth impatiently: "Really, what do these people know, let us eat to make our country stronger! There is no reason at all. I understand, I'm ashamed to ask!"

"This soul is pale!" Xie Lieping clenched his fists: "Damn, I really want to teach him a hard lesson!"

"Calm down... Forget it, let's go to Bingxue Street first." Beria shook her head, the good goods are almost washed out, and the next step is to plan how to rescue the engineer of Sergo: "Prepare for the evening banquet."

The two people walked for about 30 minutes and entered the wealthy area of ​​Kislov. The scene here is very different from the miserable situation outside. This place is full of Kislov’s nobles, generals, and many others. The ice witches of the lady and courtier, they are gorgeously dressed and well-dressed. The streets are full of carriages and guards everywhere. Even Beria and his party were forced to show their documents and documents before they were released.

There are many shops on this street. These shops do not have any signs and can only be accessed by holding a special certificate. The shops on this ice and snow street are different from the empty shops outside. Nobles, generals, and boys, but also There are ice witches who actually control the country can shop here. There are a variety of scarce foods in the store and specialties of Kislov, such as caviar, cod, fish, vodka, white bread and cream cakes. They are sold here, but in addition to refined salt, white sugar, brown sugar, and fine meats.

And various specialties of the entire old world, imperial stout, Breton wine and dress, Arabica chocolate, dwarf armor, high-precision jewelry and satin clothes, Tyrell leather shoes and coffee, Estalian perfume, The Wood Elf medicines are all complete, and many of the products in it are those that Beria has just released. And because of the new batch of goods, today’s festival is full of shopping people on the street.

"Do you know why all the food supported by the Ostermark province is provided by the Imperial Army directly on the street?" Beria turned to look at his lieutenant and maid.

"Is it because I don't want the food to fall into the hands of others?" Xie Liping thoughtfully.

"I'm telling you a joke, Xie Liping, I listened carefully." Beria watched this scene, and he said calmly: "One day, His Majesty Emperor Karl-Franz sent a letter to His Majesty Catalyn asking for Slov's army destroyed a goblin lair in their territory near the roof of the world. His Majesty Catalyn asked for five thousand gold marks for military expenses, and Emperor Carl agreed."

"Five Thousand Golden Marks immediately called. Your Majesty Catalyn was very fast. She immediately sent the wing cavalry to the front-line general."

"The generals on the front line were unambiguous after receiving the five hundred gold marks, and immediately issued the order to send troops, along with the fifty gold marks for military expenses, and handed them to his subordinate Boyer."

"Boyer's reaction was also very quick. He exchanged five gold marks for more than fifty silver coins and handed them to his soldiers. Several soldiers took the military pay and set off immediately. They came to the foot of the roof of the world mountain range. In a village in, they asked them to hand in a sheep, and they held a whole sheep feast on the spot. After eating, they touched the oil on their mouths, slapped their butts and left. They went back and reported that there were too many goblins. In a fierce battle, the strength is beyond the enemy, but the loss is not small."

"His Majesty Catalyn sent a message to Emperor Karl-Franz immediately after receiving the news, saying that the goblin was too powerful and Kislov suffered heavy losses. He asked for a 1,000 gold and mark pension, and then hoped that the empire would allocate another 5,000 gold. Mark, let her try again."

"Emperor Karl did not approve this time. The empire gave the five thousand gold marks to the Ostermark province and Karak-Butcher Castle. After the elector Hertwig Wolfram and the Dwarf Butcher King got the money, The two sides immediately formed a coalition force, and the army sent out across the territory of Kislov, completely destroying this goblin lair and burning it clean."

"His Majesty Katalyn is very upset about this."
