In the past hundred years, the empire has fought a full hundred years of war with the Osima Empire for colonial expansion on the southern side (the lower half of the T-shaped continent). With the addition of the Anglos, another forty wars have been fought.

Year.

It can be said that in the initial confrontation, in order to win, the empire aroused unprecedentedly high morale among factory owners, scholars, and ordinary workers in the city.

What? What is the price? The price is that the conscription rate in rural areas is increasing day by day. The rural areas lack organization and voice channels. Even if they bear great pain, it is controllable for the empire. Until the empire

Food production collapsed.

"Great cause of expansion" and "living space" are extremely inspiring words. The heroes who supported the empire continued to fight for decades despite the unfavorable situation of continuous depletion of national power.

However, any spiritual "encouragement" or "mobilization" must comply with the "feedback mechanism".

If you overdraft wantonly, you will inevitably suffer backlash.

When "spiritual mobilization" is used unscrupulously to seize resources and abuse them, then one day "spiritual violence" can easily cause the collapse of a huge institutional system.

The contest between the conservatives and the reformers within the empire has never been the most important at the military level. Spiritual offense and defense are the main battlefield. As long as the "uprising", the most violent cry against the empire, continues, it will harm the empire.

fatal enough

...Enma: The empire's symptoms are more serious than I previously expected. My judgment was wrong...

Enma's assessment of the previous actions of the Imperial City Faction was this: "The "work" you did before was simply a fool's errand. In some cities, your top leaders of the uprising have clearly prepared for an uprising, and there are also lower-level small groups below.

They are still desperately trying to win over new people, and when they are doing so, they are bragging about "we are about to do something big" based on gaining the other party's trust. This is simply a reminder for the agitators of the empire to come and suppress them."

Wei Keng, who advocates strict organization, is very upset by this low-level fighting. If they didn't have a common goal, Enma would not want to act with them at all.

When Enma went to and from various prisons to recruit people, and wiped the butts of these guys, he complained: So often everyone with enthusiasm participates in the operation, but the organization is not tight, which often leads to a person not paying attention to carrying out the organizational mission.

, after being caught, he could no longer bear the torture and the list of all participants was leaked. The entire operation failed and morale was greatly damaged.

If things go on like this for a long time, even if the revolutionary faction is passionate and passionate, it will be countless times stronger than the imperial conservative faction.

In the end, he will be bled to death by the sophisticated imperial faction. In the end, with no hope in sight, he can only stand on the path currently planned by the empire and continue on.

However, Enma was wrong. Enma mistakenly brought the general environment of the 21st century into this environment similar to that of the 19th century.

From the second half of the 20th century to the first half of the 21st century, it was a rare "period of rising overall wealth" in the history of mankind on earth. All superstructures had ample margin to adjust contradictions, stir up the flames of the lower layers, and use various means to

ways to extinguish it.

However, this was not the case from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. Due to the sharp conflicts between the upper and lower classes, the imperialists did not have the extra resources to appease the internal affairs, so they could only fight through external wars. If they won, they would have the resources to stabilize the internal affairs.

If they lose due to conflicts, all factions in the huge empire will become "loyalists".

After Enma came to Swan City and substantially participated in the offensive of this era, he found that the imperial army that suppressed his own side, except for the "Imperial Military Police" and the "sailors" transferred from other places, did not send large-scale imperial troops.

The troops of the heavily armed group.

Enma re-investigated the city and determined that the uprising of urban factions in big cities would benefit the interests of those "wait-and-see factions" in the empire to a certain extent.

There are at least six main battle legions around the empire, but none of these legions are allowed to enter large cities.

Wei Keng concluded: 'Once Imperial Zhuyi's army is allowed to enter a big city in the name of counterinsurgency, then the various industrial interests in the big city will inevitably be controlled by the army.'

It can be said that there is a group of people within the Sky Empire system who hope that the rebels will make a bigger fuss.

...The top people in the empire, and the urban rebels who are now working in secret, are a pair of strange rivals...

All this, along with Enma's involvement, gave the uprising a "mature" flavor.

After 3229, as the Peasants' Youth Association took control of the northern cities, the "Postman" once again became the elder statesman among the urban uprising factions.

After Enma's training of the urban rebels in Mirsu City, although there were still some problems in the organization of the urban reformers, confidentiality was increased in the core action steps.

For example, during the Swan City Uprising, a small number of people knew that the uprising was going to be carried out at the beginning. Although the empire knew through insiders that "the party members were planning an unusually large operation," it was unable to accurately determine the time and location of the uprising.

And there were clues to all this before.

After 3230, the number of uprisings in major cities throughout the empire increased significantly, and the popularity of the revolutionaries began to continue to rise.

The urban faction of the empire may still be lacking in other institutional systems, but they are getting better and better at keeping secrets. They have established their own "secrecy system", which is isolated from enemies and horses.

It’s not that Enma was directly involved in the Swan City Uprising this time, and didn’t even know about it.

Among the urban uprising faction, the actions they planned were very covert in the early stages. The imperial military police and spies did not notice the signs of the uprising at all. After the uprising failed, each operation ensured that a considerable number of people could be transferred. They have successfully "unplugged the empire"

This towering tree” ability.

Now in January of 2031, during the Swan City Uprising, it was also continuously adding ignition points to all the big cities in the empire, and was gradually approaching the critical point.

As the empire's repressive forces were unable to complete the purge of Swan City for a long time, it caused a chain reaction. In just half a month, three cities in the southern part of the empire began to start new uprisings.

In the palace of the empire, His Majesty the Emperor looked at the new flash points appearing on the map of mountains and rivers, and felt that the chips in his hand were rapidly decreasing.

…It looks like the rebels are fighting against the empire, but in fact it’s the empire’s supreme ruling power and the powerful factions in various places who are fighting over each other.…

The empire's legions had an absolute advantage in Swan City, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded Swan City.

At least three heroes led armored troops to surround them, but as long as the rebels were not killed, the flames throughout the empire were linked.

On the 24th, the Swan City uprising took down the Anglo infiltrators, and the routine began to add fuel to the fire, criticizing the empire. This time it ignited a raging fire.

At this time, the generals in the empire were able to tell which ones were absolutely "loyal to the emperor".

Outside Swan City, armored vehicles are lined up here. Here are Sugmat's troops. The engine of the sky airship continues to rotate, just like a kite huffing in a windy weather.

As the elite fighting group of the empire, Sugmat was actually very dissatisfied with a series of policies of the empire in recent years. Therefore, when it came to entering the city for siege and suppression, he imposed a lot of conditions on the upper echelons of the empire, including transferring the names of the five major families in the accounts of the empire bank.

Property disclosure.

Reform the empire's finances.

Sugamat was actually a general who supported the conservative forces of the empire, and was also the most loyal force to the empire.

Many other generals were more radical and proposed a complete cabinet reshuffle.

But even so, the wealthy and wealthy royal family and nobles at the top of the entire empire still felt that the price charged for a general like Sugamat was too high.

Sugmat thought: At the beginning of the Swan City uprising, at the meeting behind the strict gate of the imperial cabinet, the grand dukes and royal relatives in gorgeous clothes thought it was just a small rebellion in the imperial city.

The rebels have been gradually compressed into several areas, and given time, they can be wiped out quickly.

Sugmat's behavior of halving their family property was really taking advantage of the situation. Therefore, the Grand Duke believed that he must not compromise with these troops.

On the third day of the Swan City uprising, the Duke ordered the military police and the imperial security forces to eliminate the "violent party" as soon as possible. He also dispatched supervisors.

And this supervisor is the third son of the Duke, the head of the imperial cabinet, Wallace. Similarly, when he learned that the Anglos entered Swan City to perform an exorcism ceremony, it was the guy holding the woman in the back who

The key faction on the phone asked the "Dragon Blood Military Police" to temporarily put aside their prejudices and cooperate with them.

Wallace, who indulged all his energy in women, believes that under his charm, the addition of external forces is additive. He has no idea that in the current crumbling building, any external force intervening will lead to "total collapse."

Enma, who used broadcasts in the city to inform the whole country, clearly discovered that in the etheric realm, the huge concept of the empire had collapsed.

…The perspective comes to the eleventh day of the Swan City Uprising.…

Outside this city, inside the Imperial Dragon Eagle Division, which was "forced" to stand still for half a month.

When Sugmat woke up, he saw that the atmosphere in his military camp was different. All the soldiers seemed to be discussing something. He looked carefully and noticed that the soldiers were holding radios and higher-level magic crystals.

Logger, what is being passed around.

He walked to the headquarters, and the subordinate officers saluted him, but he went straight to the adjutant and asked for information on the current battle situation in Swan City. He first took a look at the situation in Swan City.

In Wallace's words: The imperial counter-insurgency forces are approaching steadily, and the remnants of the bandits are entrenched in a few data points and resisting stubbornly. As long as they continue to exert their efforts, they will usher in complete victory.

Sugamat threw aside this "splendid article" to please the imperial cabinet with an expressionless face.

Sugmat has realized that this rebellion has been going on for too long and has accumulated a lot of variables.

Just when Sugmat began to think about "where to go," his lieutenants quietly took out a piece of intelligence that the rebels called "the empire and the Anglos colluded to treason."

Sugmat's eyes became sharp when he saw the captured Ansa people, but after hearing the interrogator's voice in the video, his whole body became "cold".

The top soldiers below are currently circulating the video of Anglo being captured and interrogated by the rebels, and are beginning to gloat over the fact that Anglo and the Imperial Rebels are fighting each other.

However, as the middle-level officials of the empire, the officers under Sugmat were keenly aware of the great political significance of this leaked video. When the credibility of the empire itself was insufficient, any piece of information could instigate those "knowledgeable people" in the empire.

"Our" emotional messages may be new "leads to the powder keg."

The senior generals leading the legion, such as Sugamat, clearly understood that the collusion between the "empire and the Anglo wizards" was probably a misunderstanding. It was Wallace, the bastard, who mishandled the situation and was thrown into the trash by the rebels.

But this cannot be explained, because the top level of the empire has always maintained an "information tent" for the middle and lower levels.

Sugamat cursed: The third young master of the Duke's family (Wallace) in the imperial cabinet failed to accomplish anything but failed.

But what shocked him even more was the unrecorded "interrogator" in the video.

But Sugmat was indeed sure that this "interrogator" was the "lord" in the north who controlled large rural areas of the empire.

Sugert: If he (Enma) joins, then the nature will change.

For the residents of the empire, this year's winter has been extremely long, and for those imperial dignitaries sitting in front of the stoves in their homes, the days are like being like little ants scurrying on the stove.

When the Swan City rebels announced that they had found evidence of imperial witchcraft, the imperial cabinet repeatedly "clarified" to the outside world that no other additional agreements had been reached with the Anglo. The appearance of the Anglo "tourists" was just an order from the front to the "Anti-Rebellion Department"

Had a wrong understanding.

The imperial generals had conflicts of interest with the cabinet at this time. It was impossible to accept these explanations.

From the understanding of generals like Sugamat, there is no reason for the imperial center to unite with the Anglo "witch men" to betray the country.
