Chapter 253 You will be alone in the future
In the darkest hour of the day, streaks of sparks flew into the night sky, and a few moments later dozens of dazzling light spheres illuminated the military barracks in Majiapu City.

The people in the barracks didn't understand what was going on. No one thought it would be an enemy attack. Instead, some people thought that someone offended the magician and asked them to take revenge like this.

The person who was awakened covered his head with a quilt and continued to sleep.

The guards outside and those who went to the bathroom raised their heads and saw the sky was white, and their eyes felt a little uncomfortable, so they covered their eyes with their hands while cursing.

"Target confirmed!"

"Close to target!"

"Bombardiers on their positions!"

"Bomb bay ready!"

……

Kirov 300 and [-] descended to an altitude of about [-] meters and flew over the barracks one from the left and the other from the right.

Inside the pod is a simple bombsight, which is actually a graduated telescope looking straight down at the ground.

The deputy bomber is holding a pocket watch and is counting down from 8. The bomber estimates the advance of the bombing and asks the pilot to adjust the course from time to time.

As the bombardier flipped the bombing switch, 20kg aerial bombs left the bomb bay and hit the barracks on the ground after 8.1 seconds of free fall.

Violent explosions sounded one after another, just like the thunder of the God of Light punishing sinners fell into the world.

After dropping the bomb, the airship rose a lot, reported to Frederick and then turned around to return, leaving behind two roads of ruins full of flames.

The bombing of the barracks was like a signal that other places were starting to do it.

Some of the senior officers of the city defense army in the city were resting at home, some were fooling around with their lovers, and some had just fallen asleep in the bathing place.

The black cat troops of the Wesson Army have already grasped their whereabouts and started the beheading operation.

The side door of a mansion was blasted open, and a group of men in black rushed in as fast as they could.

Bobo rushed through the garden behind the captain, wearing a thick shield in addition to ordinary weapons.

When they came to the front of the building, instead of going through the door, they took a ladder to enter the master bedroom on the second floor from the balcony.

Their target is the current commander of the city defense army, try not to harm the family members, because the target's wife is from a big local family.

Bobo, who was born as a stonemason, became much stronger after receiving years of training, and he still easily jumped onto the balcony with a shield on his back.

After his teammates blasted open the balcony door, Bobo rushed in with a shield in his hand, and at the same time, the front of the shield shone with dazzling light.

The target was already prepared, and he was ready to repel the robbers with a weapon in his hand, but he didn't expect to be dazzled by the sudden light.

Bobo seized the moment and fired all the bullets in the revolver at him.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the other two comrades had already entered the bedroom and immediately went to fill up the guns.

After confirming that the target was eliminated, they left the mansion as quickly as possible and disappeared into the city. The target's wife was still shivering under the quilt.

In less than half an hour, more than half of the remaining defenders in Majiapu City were wiped out, and all the upper floors were wiped out, leaving only the barracks by the city wall and the army in the castle.

It was dawn, and five paddle steamers had arrived at their predetermined positions and began to attack the city walls.

Although the ups and downs of the sea affected the shooting accuracy, it was not a big problem to deal with the big target of the city wall, and it quickly collapsed a section of the city wall.

Several sea boats rushed to the beach quickly, and Dragases was the first to jump off the boat, followed by his [-] National Restoration Army in black uniforms.

The restoration army rushed to the gap in the city wall without encountering any resistance. The defenders had already run away when they saw the fleet at sea before the shelling.

Franz Jr. then landed with a regiment and took over the city walls and port. Dragases freed up and led the Restoration Army straight to the castle.

At noon, Frederick and Mary landed in the open space in front of the castle. Immediately, professionals came to take Li Xiao and the fire dragon to eat.

Mary took off her helmet, saw the eagle flag and the double-headed eagle flag already hung on the castle, and sighed: "I didn't expect this city to be captured so easily."

"It's so simple." Frederick shook his head with a smile, "If it wasn't for diverting the main force of the enemy, or if there was not a big mess in the last landing exercise, this battle would have to be fought, and maybe he died in the hands of his own people. more."

The traditional army of this era is condensed around the generals, and the will of the army to fight is equal to the will of the generals. Without the generals, the ordinary army will be in a state of disunity without morale, and it will disperse by itself.

This battle is aimed at this point. By removing the enemy's leader and beheading the enemy's morale, the fight is naturally as simple as cutting tofu with a steel knife.

Dragases invited all the original owners of the castle to the manor outside the city, which is now managed by the guard battalion. After Frederick came here, his guard Tony also appeared.

And Mary followed Tony to the restaurant of the castle, which will be the next headquarters.

Helmut has arrived here with the staff, and Franz Jr., Dragases, and Hayreddin are studying the map at the dining table.

As soon as Frederick passed by, he said to Franz Jr.: "You will be in charge of the command, and call me when you need aerial reconnaissance."

"Huh?" Little Franz was stunned for a moment, obviously not responding.

Frederick said to him: "Ah, what, it's settled, you can fight however you want, just let it go, and under normal circumstances I won't interfere."

Then he solemnly said to Franz Jr. and Helmut: "I will need at least two or three commanders who can act independently in the future. The two of you, oh, and Eugene, are all talents I am optimistic about. At this time If you don’t take advantage of the enemy’s weakness to accumulate experience, how long will you wait?”

Franz Jr., Helmut, and Eugene who were counting the casualties of the Wesson Army (2 people sprained their feet when they disembarked, and 33 people lost combat effectiveness due to severe seasickness) blushed with excitement.

Eugene put down his pen, stood up and said embarrassedly: "Commander, you really think highly of me. I have only caused you trouble once since I joined the army."

Frederick said to him seriously: "Don't belittle yourself, you have the advantages that none of us have now, that is, you have experienced a real big defeat, and you can bring your team out almost completely during the big defeat, and keep with fighting power."

"I have always believed that the strength of an army does not depend on how it wins, but on when it fails."

"We have won battles along the way. This is a good thing, but it is also a hidden danger. Once we suffer setbacks, we are likely to completely collapse our self-confidence and lose morale. At that time, we will become easier to catch than pigs."

The staff officers present felt that what the leader said made sense. If they thought it was unreasonable, then they must be wrong.

Dragases looked at Frederick enviously.

People who are capable and can let go of trust are too rare. The previous country was overthrown because the trusted people were incapable of causing trouble, and then those who were capable but not loyal seized the opportunity to seek power.

The three people that Frederick mentioned just now, not to mention the little Franz who grew up with him, Helmut joined halfway, and Eugene joined less than two months ago, he can completely trust They let them go, such people are either fools or geniuses.

After finishing speaking, Frederick slipped away to feed Dawn.

On the way, he asked the guard Tony: "Do you want to take a team out to fight by yourself?"

"No." Tony shook his head and refused, "I just want to protect the commander."

Frederick didn't force it, so he said: "The Ministry of Military Affairs thinks that you can be canonized as a knight, after this battle."
