Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 1668 1669 There were good times

The man who felt that it was useless to talk to his woman kept his mouth shut. Saying anything else would involve leaking secrets: he couldn't lose his job. If he lost his job, he would have to go to the damn front line to serve.

Telling something to your woman is like going on the radio and announcing to half the city that a woman's level of confidentiality is basically a negative number: the only difference is how negative it is.

They are all born with big mouths, and they are willing to talk about everything they know with their besties, friends, aunties on the street, and even their neighbors on the bus.

The country was falling apart and he knew it very well. He just saw a piece of data yesterday, which showed that the food sent to the front line this month was reduced by at least two-thirds compared to the same period last month!

That’s right! With the collapse of transportation capacity, the empire can no longer provide sufficient supplies of materials to the front line. Only God knows what will become of a million-strong army without material supplies.

They may become a more terrifying existence than the enemy, and can corrode everything around them as quickly as locusts passing by.

If it were just food, there might be some way to do it. Coupled with the shortage of ammunition and other materials, how many percent of the combat effectiveness of these troops was left might be known only to His Majesty the Emperor.

Secrets are not secrets to many people. Even the most confidential matters have to be handled by someone. The public officials who handle them are the ones who know the truth. They have long known that what is played on the radio is just stupid people. lie.

There was another explosion in the distance. It was the Tang Army bomber that once again visited Ironforge's industrial area. Although it has not affected the wealthy areas and office areas, the bombing of the industrial areas has been enough to change the living habits of some people in Ironforge.

The ground was shaking and the glass was buzzing. The man walked to the window and saw a column of smoke rising in the distance. The city is gradually losing power, and soon there will be a shortage of food supplies. People's hearts are beginning to become unstable, and collapse may only take a morning.

"I'm going to work." He sighed and walked to the door, picked up his briefcase, took his clothes off the hangers and hung them on his arms.

My wife came over to see me off and told me to pay attention to safety. The man who walked to the street saw the soldiers catching beggars and the military vehicles rushing to the palace.

What made him a little annoyed was that the two familiar shoe shiners were nowhere to be seen. He looked down at the somewhat unclean leather shoes on his feet, and his mood became worse.

Perhaps I will never meet a shoemaker again. The dwarf with a beautiful beard thought so as he watched two soldiers escorting a beggar past him.

……

In Rewind Port, Shirin wrapped her clothes tightly and walked on the slightly deserted street. Not far away was a collapsed building that had been destroyed by a shell falling two days earlier.

Since yesterday, the siege artillery has stopped. It seems that the humans have not been driven away, but the elven troops outside the city have retreated.

Shireen went out to look for something to eat today. She and her neighbor's family had been hungry all night. If they don't come out, they will continue to starve today.

The good news is that the war should have stopped. Although some Tang soldiers wearing weird military uniforms can still be seen occasionally on the streets, the danger seems to have gone away. Speaking of which, what those Tang soldiers wore was really funny: their clothes were yellow and green, as if they had not been dyed properly. The helmets worn by those people looked very thick, and there were no paintings on them such as troop numbers. They were not as good-looking as the iron helmets used by the elves.

In Shilin's view, the Tang army soldiers with a lot of broken objects hanging on their bodies were far less powerful than the elf soldiers with moral weapons, and their aura seemed to be three points weaker when they stood there.

It's just that these seemingly weak human soldiers defeated the elven troops stationed here, occupied the city, and then repelled the main force of the 7th Army of the Yangmu Empire outside the city.

"Do you need help? Madam." On the street, a human soldier with his hand on his rifle saw the thin Shirin and asked from a distance.

Shirin didn't dare to talk or run directly, so she could only stand there and wait for the other party to slowly walk over.

"What's the matter?" The soldier stood next to Shilin. From such a close distance, Shilin could clearly see the other person's young and immature face. It looks like this soldier is only 20 years old, and he has a dimple on his face when he smiles.

"I, I came out to look for something to eat... A few people and I haven't eaten for several days." Shirin told a little lie in order to gain sympathy. In fact, she just didn't have dinner yesterday and was a little hungry now.

"The food ration truck won't be here for a while. It's at this street corner. I'm in charge of security here... You can wait here, but you don't need to worry. There is news that a ship will bring food here today." The soldiers were ordered to maintain law and order here, so of course they knew more specifically.

As he spoke, he pointed to the other end of the street: "We'll line up there in a moment. Everyone can get it, but they can only get it once..."

In fact, he didn't know how to calculate that each person could only receive it once, because there was no good way to restrain these civilians: it was not that there had never been cases of people claiming more than one person in the past, and most of the time it was left to nothing.

Many troops in the Tang Empire have a glorious tradition of throwing things away, and the people above usually don't criticize such things too harshly.

However, as soldiers who maintain order, they should scare and frighten these civilians, so that they can more or less obey the rules and avoid any extreme incidents.

Shireen was stunned when she heard what the soldier said. She couldn't believe that these humans from afar would deliberately ship food for them.

You know, since the Tang Empire fleet blocked Rewind Port, no ship transporting supplies has been seen docking here for a long time.

"Is there a ship? To transport food?" Shirin confirmed with some confusion.

"I heard it is." The young soldier nodded: "Don't worry, the material supply should be restored soon... The life here will be better. After all... it originally belonged to us."

"Rewind Port once had its glory for a period of time. At that time, there was endless work here, and everyone could get a lot of wages. At that time... I hope this thing is still there." For a moment, Shirin thought of herself I heard something an old man said when I first came here.
