I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

"It's a pity that I'm not a good orator. I'm just a poor man's cannon fodder."

[Latest news: At the multinational peace conference held in the Surya capital of Mgrin, representatives of the allied nations of Mantogle, Britian, and Wallis refused to sign the unconditional surrender agreement. Unfortunately, they have completely closed the door to peace.]

Chapter 330: Dawn without Imperialism

【War brings people to the cemetery, but who can bring war to the cemetery? 】

Loran

The mixed army corps composed of Suriya and Seris broke through the solid defense line formed by the last elite border troops of the Mantogle Empire and headed towards the civilian area. However, in front of them there was one last natural barrier consisting of a vast forest.

As the empire's elite legions were all lost in the expeditionary campaign, the composition of Mantogole's current army changed greatly.

The high-level orcs who were almost all in human form before were basically replaced by an elite force composed of half-orc tribal warriors with animal heads and human bodies from the outer circle of the empire.

Orcs are generally stronger physically, but their brains are not very good and they do not obey discipline. They can be qualified fighters, but not qualified soldiers, so they used to be marginal second-rate troops.

But now the only people Mantogle can rely on are these fellow tribesmen whom they once looked down upon.

Perhaps in ancient times when close combat was the norm, this armed force could have been the final trump card that determined the outcome of a war. Unfortunately, times have changed.

In the past, they would be trampled underfoot by the mechas, and now they are still unable to resist the new torrent of armor.

Their sharp claws cannot tear open the armor composed of composite steel plates. No matter how strong their bodies are, they cannot withstand the destruction of various large-caliber machine guns and high-rate machine guns. Their strong bodies cannot withstand the crushing of tracks.

They could only use round after round of desperate charges to block the Alliance's advance, because behind them were their tribes, their homes.

And such resistance was not without effect. At least the Allied forces did not gain much advantage in the jungle warfare. Wildness and nature complement each other, and the jungle is their natural camouflage.

In the vast outer rainforest, poisonous insects, snakes and ants appeared from unexpected locations all the time, as well as native orcs who moved from place to place after firing a shot, causing serious non-combat casualties for the Allied forces.

The Alliance's own troops are fine. The armor rate of the pioneer elite troops is already close to 100%. Those operating outside are either heavy armored units or light armored special operations teams. They all have certain jungle combat experience.

These trees that could speak animal language caused a lot of trouble for the Suriya soldiers. Before the national hatred and family feuds, their lives were generally comfortable and wealthy. Most of the Suriya people had never seen this place, let alone combat experience.

The majority of casualties were soldiers from Surya, and the Alliance had no good solution for this. Apart from using engineering vehicles to flatten trees to build roads, they also used a large number of napalm bombs to burn and explode to open a road.

But the effect was not that good. In addition to the heavy humidity in the rainforest, the messy road conditions also greatly hindered the advance of the armored group. In fact, because it was winter, it was still a relatively easy time to pass through.

Even so, the heavy armored equipment was basically abandoned, and tracked infantry fighting vehicles and tracked assault guns were used as supporting firepower.

The paratroopers were first airlifted to the other side of the rainforest barrier and stationed there to organize a defense line, waiting for them to complete the ground attack channel.

Fierce battles were taking place among tribes in various rainforests. The Challenger helicopter providing air fire support received the message and rushed to the scene. After a round of rocket launches, the entire small tribe was engulfed in flames.

The large force rushed into the burning tribe whose defenses had been completely destroyed, and shot and killed the remaining orcs who ran out of the ruins.

"Hey, man, did you see how that guy's head exploded just now? Let's massacre the entire village!"

"What's wrong? It says that prisoners cannot be tortured or killed, but they didn't surrender, and we Surya people didn't sign this agreement."

As a female orc cried, he shot and killed her child: "Damn it, we must pay them back for what they did to us!"

"What? They said no? Sorry bro, I don't understand animal language, just like they can't understand my mom begging them before she died."

"Brother, I know what you're saying is right, but my soul has gone with my mother."

A team of six people in heavy armored machines that went out to explore were being besieged by nearly a hundred orcs. They seemed to be at ease facing enemies that outnumbered their number by dozens of times, because those who attacked them were basically civilians and could not break through their defenses at all.

Carl held the alloy steel sword and chopped at the orcs rushing towards him from all directions. In the rainforest jungle where hand-to-hand combat is very easy to get close to each other, cold weapons played a vital role.

Firearms are more powerful, but they cannot deal with enemies coming from multiple directions at the same time. Many soldiers were torn to pieces at close range by this desperate grouping method.

As he raised his armored arm to resist, there was a sharp and piercing sound of metal friction, and then he slashed the attacker in half with his backhand. Carl then stopped, panting.

Most of the orcs lying around had stopped breathing, and only a few of them still had their chests rising and falling slightly.

Carl walked up to one of the orcs. His height of more than three meters allowed him to easily look down on the other person from a high vantage point.

The ferocious dog head with sharp fangs was panting rapidly, with a dangerous red light flashing in its eyes, as if it wanted to bite Carl again before dying.

Half of his head was smashed in, and it was a miracle that he could breathe. In fact, living like this was a great pain in itself.

Carl half-knelt down, pinched its neck, made a gesture in front of his chest, and whispered: "May we meet in the next life at the dawn without imperialism."

'Crack'

The rainforest is not only a natural barrier on the periphery of the empire, but also the home of the orcs. Every step forward will face the most fierce counterattack from the other side.

Every step forward by the Alliance means that a large number of Orc tribes are wiped out. Faith and courage cannot stop the Alliance from moving forward.

Grax Imperial City, the political, cultural and economic center of the Britian Empire

A piece of sad news spread quickly throughout the empire. Babak I died in his sleep last night, and the Britian throne was vacant.

This bad news made the empire, which was already in turmoil, even more precarious. As the absolute pillar of the empire and the father of all peoples, Babak I's reputation among the people was unparalleled.

Even though the entire empire is now in turmoil, the slogans raised by the rebels are similar to "clear the court of emperors". In a sense, his existence is the prerequisite for the stable existence of the empire.

But now this person is suddenly gone, and both sides find it hard to accept.

Especially the young nobles headed by Dennis and others. They had previously felt that waiting for Babak to abdicate peacefully seemed to be too long, and the empire might be completely defeated before that.

They were already prepared to assassinate Babak I and the plan was already being drawn up.

Ah? Now that the old emperor has passed away, what should they do now?

Chapter 331 Getting Married

But thinking about it later, Dennis and others became happy again because they no longer needed to make multiple-choice questions.

For them, the emperor himself was the biggest obstacle to reform, but they had all sworn allegiance to the emperor, and they did not want to break this oath unless it was absolutely necessary, although they were ready to break it~

Now that the old emperor is gone, the biggest problem is also gone. As long as the new emperor does not accept the reforms, they will refuse to swear allegiance. Without their support and losing the biggest support from his base, he will not be able to be emperor!

They immediately contacted the Second Prince Vologases in the territory, hoping that he could announce his succession as soon as possible before the First Prince and confirm the fact before the First Prince returned.

Unfortunately, the sieve-like national salvation organization of Dennis and others was leaking information everywhere, and the news was passed out. Ardashir, who was trying to save the army in Port Bared, smelled the danger and rushed back at full speed.

As the first legal heir, Ardashir quickly announced his succession and set a date for the nobles to take the oath, hoping to complete the succession procedure as quickly as possible.

At this time, the second prince was still hesitant. For him personally, it didn't matter whether he became the Tsar or not. In his own little piece of land, the new Tsar, that is, his brother, would take care of him.

Of course, the premise is that he does not go against his own brother, otherwise he would end up like the Li brothers.

Moreover, the precedent he set would have an extremely bad impact. If the succession law is not followed, what will the future generations follow? Will every succession in the future rely on a coup d'état?

The second prince was reluctant to cooperate, so Denis and others had no choice but to implement the second plan, which was to control the new emperor and the interior minister in advance and force them to agree to initiate constitutional reform.

The easiest time to achieve this is on the oath-taking day, when all the noble families must gather together and swear allegiance to the new emperor, and they can be caught in one fell swoop.

Ardashir soon received the news, which made him feel very sick.

These guys were really crazy, but he couldn't really do anything about them. In terms of relationships, most of them were related to him in some way, and they would form the basis for his future rule.

Did they really kill them all? Do you think the heirs of the nobles are like the cabbages in the field, and if one dies, there will be another?

Generally, there will only be one heir to the level of the family leader. No matter how powerful the nobles are, they will not raise Gu within the family. That would undoubtedly leave a fuse for their own implosion.

What is the most feared thing for a family, a clan, or a country? There is only one thing that can be feared.

[Internal fighting]

Glorious countries and powerful families often do not die from the pressure caused by external enemies.

In the end, he had no choice but to secretly move the swearing-in day forward by a few hours. After 12 o'clock at night before the swearing-in day, he summoned all the major families, high-ranking officials of the empire, and royal clans to pledge their allegiance to him personally, thus completing the transition from prince to emperor in terms of legal order.

The Seris Alliance, thousands of miles away, has also been paying close attention to this noble uprising led by Dennis and others. Their success or failure will directly affect whether the alliance's plans will continue to move forward or undergo a certain degree of adjustment.

If they succeed, once a new constitution is established in the name of the people, subsequent events will no longer be under their control, and the alliance can use this people's constitution to complete the dismemberment of the empire through other means.

In terms of cost and benefit, the side effects of dealing with the empire in this way were the lowest. At least, the subsequent risks were much smaller than what they were going to do next, so under Anna's leadership, the plan was postponed for 12 days.

Early in the morning, Dennis and others gathered together for the last internal meeting. During the meeting, he looked at the noble children in the audience with eyes full of longing:

“The first person who rises up against his people’s oppressors, death awaits him.”

"But how can freedom be purchased without sacrifice? Everyone wants freedom, but no one is willing to pay the price for it."

"But I am willing! I will sacrifice myself for my dear country. I have a presentiment! I know it! I am relieved! I praise my fate!"

In the early morning, the imperial capital of the empire has not yet fully awakened from sleep.

Suddenly, a bugle call broke the silence, followed by the exciting sound of drums, and the officers and soldiers of the Grax Guard Regiment who were guarding the imperial capital poured out of the barracks.

These were the most elite troops of the empire. With smiles on their faces and the morning light on their shoulders, they marched in formation towards the center of the imperial capital, the Imperial Palace.

The flag of the Empire was shining brightly on the body of the machine. All of them came from the oldest aristocratic families in the empire. Along the way, they shouted slogans such as "Long Live the Constitution" and strode towards the center of the empire in the shocked eyes of the citizens.

The troops were aimed directly at Ardashir I, who was preparing to ascend the throne. They would demand that Emperor Ardashir I liberate the slaves and implement the constitution to protect the basic rights of the people.

3000 mecha soldiers arrived at the gate of the palace with slogans, but at this time, an army far exceeding their number had gathered here, and the two sides formed a square formation in front of the palace and formed a confrontation.

Many of the citizens who came to watch requested to join the uprising, but were sternly rejected by Dennis and others. They could not, or dared not, call on the people of the empire to join them. They only hoped that other noble officers could bring more soldiers.

Ardashir, who was watching the battle in person, wielded his sword and commanded his cavalry regiment to charge towards the rebellious legion, hoping to use the cavalry to directly disperse and drive away these troublemaking young people. At this time, he still had concerns.

Horses were not much different from pets in front of the three-meter-tall bodies of the mecha soldiers. One could be killed with a slap, and it was extremely easy to defend them. This also made them excited, and they kept shouting slogans such as freedom, democracy, and fraternity.

Even the citizens watching around also followed suit and shouted.

In fact, if Denis and others directly attacked the palace gate at this time, there would be a chance to catch Ardashir who was supervising the battle, because although the number of people on both sides was similar, their combat effectiveness was not equal.

As the country's most elite guards, they have the best equipment and training. They have no chance of being matched in a one-on-one fight within the imperial capital.

But as time went on, they never thought of this, and more and more troops loyal to Ardashir arrived near the palace. Tanks and artillery began to gather at the gate of the palace, and the combat power advantage of the mecha phalanx composed of noble children was gradually lost.

During this period, Ardashir I sent people to persuade them to surrender several times, and bluntly stated that he would not hold them accountable for anything, but Denis and others refused to give up their claims.

Finally, Ardashir feared that the situation would get completely out of control at night, so he ordered tanks and artillery to bombard the rebels physically, trying to persuade them to surrender, and suppressing them in front of all the nobles and ministers.

That night, Ardashir personally presided over the trial. He wanted to see what was going on in these people's minds.

With the complete failure of the National Salvation Alliance, at the military airport on the Serisolyesk Peninsula, a huge bomber was slowly towed out of the hangar by a tractor.

Superfortress Technology Demonstration Bomber

It has a wingspan of over 60 meters and a length of more than 50 meters. It has a maximum take-off weight of 160 tons and a maximum load of 35 tons. It is equipped with twin four-engine, a total of eight turbojet engines with a thrust of 40 kilonewtons, which allow it to fly at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour. It has a maximum ceiling of 15000 meters and a range of 22000 km.

High altitude, high speed, long range, large capacity.

At present, other bombers in the alliance have met the bombing needs, and the time this thing can be used is only when the lady gets married.
