I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

'No! I won't go back! I have no home anymore. I ran away secretly. If I go back, they will beat me even harder.'

"This is how my uncle and aunt beat me..." She stretched out her arms and pulled up her clothes. The criss-crossed old scars on her arms were unbearable to look at.

Not daring to look any further, he turned his back and asked, "What's your name?"

'My name is Afro. If you give me food, I know you are a good person, so please keep me.'

'You need a woman by your side, and I need a man by my side. Let's just be together and be happy...'

Hathor turned around in surprise: "What did you say! No, no, I have a wife!"

'You didn't. I decided to follow you because of what you said in the restaurant.'

"You don't know, this place is too hard, you can't stand it."

Reclaim the wasteland. How can we send troops to reclaim the wasteland unless the living conditions are so harsh? The thing that is most in demand in this world now is labor.

Afro raised her head and looked at him: "If you can bear it, I can bear it too."

"But I'm already forty years old."

'I don't mind'

"I have nothing."

'We can earn'

"You will regret this."

'Unless you regret it'

"you..."

Chapter 399: Restoration Alliance?

Suriya

Ussis State Airport

In the darkness of night, a Greengor military transport plane and a Greengor gunship took off and formed into formation under the command of the tower. Four fighter planes hovering in the air accompanied them throughout the journey and flew towards the control area of ​​the former Britian Western Liberation Front.

During the Surya Kingdom period, this was the base camp of King Bratt. Now it has become the headquarters of the Alliance’s military base in Surya. The bases of the three surrounding countries are all under the command and dispatch of the General Staff here.

While protecting the security of Surya National Security, it also takes part in some alliance military operations.

Time goes back to one day ago

Two large-scale demonstrations and uprisings broke out in succession in the state of Sanghorn, and spread throughout the state at an astonishingly fast speed. Many streets and factories were smashed and looted, factories and schools were shut down, and most of the infrastructure came to a standstill.

The slogans shouted by the parade were actually based on the post-war continental partition bill implemented by the Alliance. The Alliance should also support the people's will in the states within the Alliance to seek autonomy and independence, advocate the restoration of the Kingdom of Ovinia, and at least allocate territories of three states to them to establish a country.

There have also been protests in some states and regions of other former countries in the subcontinent.

But this was actually within the alliance's expectations. A certain amount of damage to its reputation was an acceptable price to pay in order to purify the environment of the entire society.

Whether the impact can be reduced in the end depends on the ability of the leadership teams in each state to minimize the negative impact and make fewer errors in convictions.

The alliance reserves the right to lead trade unions and farmers' associations in street protests against certain policies, which is also a way for the public to correct mistakes.

Any armed forces at the official level of the alliance are strictly prohibited from taking any action that obstructs legal marches, including but not limited to the use of force, arrests, detentions, and expulsions.

Only the state of Sanghall caused the biggest commotion, and the entire state government seemed to be in a state of chaos, with no effective control over the situation. The troops, without orders, could only strictly abide by the principle of not entering the city and watch.

It was impossible for the administrative armed forces below to take direct action without going through the upper levels. Only when the number of people accumulated to a large scale did they let the troops enter the scene to drive away the people.

Then came the classic scene where a gunshot rang out from nowhere. The people, already tense due to the severe crackdown, instantly turned their protests into uprisings and riots, which turned into a vicious bloody incident that caused a large number of innocent casualties.

Those who couldn't shoot did so and called for support from the riot police.

And there is nothing wrong with what they did. It is okay to march, to raise demands, and to protest, but the whole uprising is so embarrassing, so they must be sent away resolutely.

This also made the big bosses above very angry. You are not wrong, the people are not wrong, so are we wrong?

Operation Thunder has always been a side job in purifying the social environment. It is mainly an opportunity to conduct an internal inspection and purge, and to deal with those domestic bugs that were previously ignored due to the war. This is an unspoken consensus at the top.

Being able to climb up to the top level right under Anna's nose means that his general thinking is definitely not distorted. At most, he has some personal thoughts, which is acceptable.

It will be good for everyone if we are willing to support the big ship and keep it moving forward steadily.

However, some people below obviously don't think so. They want to muddy the waters and even pull out an old almanac from some unknown era to try to restore the kingdom and dream of going back hundreds of years. This is simply ridiculous.

As the investigation and punishment went on, Anna found that the comedy was real, but they were also serious about restoration... because Anna really found the shadow of a restoration organization, but the headquarters was not in the alliance but in the main continent.

This was actually Anna's work mistake. She kept a close eye on the noble forces and bloodlines of the Old Kingdom, but these people did not do anything rebellious. On the contrary, they were generally very loyal, and received very good reviews from local people when they served in various places.

Sometimes life is so strange. The old nobles who were copied by the alliance have produced a lot of good leaders, but many who took advantage of the opportunities given by the alliance to turn things around have been blinded...

It was difficult for Anna to judge how a group of farmers and workers' sons ended up being on the same page as the Restoration Organization.

Members of the Second-level Special Forces Brigade, the Skeleton Special Forces, sat in a transport plane and chatted with each other through headsets to cheer each other up. They did not feel much pressure about the upcoming direct attack on the enemy's lair.

They have almost blind confidence in themselves and the alliance behind them, and do not think it is difficult to fight against a "terrorist group" called the Restoration Organization.

Yes, terrorists. That's all they are worth considering their size. They're not even small local warlords.

As the transport plane flew over Estelvi, the cabin door behind it slowly opened, and two combat teams trotted off the transport plane one by one, with parachutes blooming in the air.

As everyone landed on the ground, scarlet light lit up under the helmet visors. This light is imperceptible to the human eye. In addition to the night vision effect, it also has a certain perspective function.

After distributing the weapons and adjusting the timer, the ten-man team nodded to each other and split into three teams before disappearing into the jungle.

Ten minutes later, a small team slowly crawled over from the bushes 500 meters away from an aristocratic castle manor which was completely dark outside.

[Calling Sidewinder, the reconnaissance plane has been launched and will be in position soon. ]

Over their heads, a small propeller aircraft powered by magic energy flew silently towards the castle, and the camera mounted on the belly of the fuselage transmitted images back in real time.

The manor covers a very large area, approximately more than 300 square kilometers, and is surrounded by over 10,000 square kilometers of forest. The entire manor castle is wrapped in it, like a paradise.

Under the camera, the seemingly dark and deserted interior of the castle is filled with dense red lights like a red galaxy, which shows how many people are inside the castle manor.

One of them looked at the screen and said in amazement: "Okay, I take back what I said before. There are a little more enemies here. Should we call for some support?"

It is roughly estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of militants here. Although they are not here to massacre everyone directly but to carry out a decapitation operation, such a large number of people is still a bit frightening.

In a word, they will have nowhere to escape if a fight breaks out, and their lives and property will all depend on the reaction speed of the air force comrades.

Team leader Valkyrie rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who did you call over to bomb? Have you found the target?"

"Um... I mean, can we throw a nuclear bomb? If it's smaller, just throw it here and count it." The team member stretched out his fingers and made a galaxy of stars.

Valkyrie's mouth twitched: "Don't be so sarcastic, do they deserve it? Do you think that thing is grown in the desert? You can have as much as you want."

[Team Two is in place, action is allowed.]

"Copy that, start taking action."

After Valkyrie replied to the message, she took the other four people and sneaked into the manor under the cover of night. The outer magic detection shield did not sense their traces.

Now, in the field of magic such as shield generators, the alliance that has absorbed the technology of most countries on the continent is the undisputed No. 1 and has reached the point of crushing others by generations.

"We are entering the target defense zone."

[Received, sniper is in place. ]

In fact, the alliance currently has no idea how many members the Restoration Alliance has, nor who the top leaders are. The current action is to arrest first and then investigate, and everything is unknown.

It is unclear whether there are any peerless masters. It is unclear whether there are any special weapons. It is just known through informants that this is their base camp, and the big boss is in charge.

Now that the alliance's reputation is at its peak, they appear to be particularly cautious. If it weren't for the large-scale protests within the country this time, they might have been able to hide for a few more years.

'Bang bang bang...'

A faint sound of gunfire was heard from inside the manor.

【Calling Rattlesnake, what happened? 】

Valkyrie held the gun and observed carefully through the scope: "Not very clear, they seem to be executing someone."

[Reconnaissance aircraft is approaching...]

As the reconnaissance plane turned back and locked onto the area to amplify the sound, a loud noise gradually became clearer: "Goddess of Light! These damn SBs killed us! Who allowed them to start now?"

"Cole, there's no need to vent your anger on them. If you kill them, those people in the alliance will be out of control."

'It doesn't matter, they are dead and there is no chance of them coming back. Execute them.'

"There can't be any hidden dangers. We can't lose this war, otherwise we will lose our last chance and will never have the chance to bring the goddess back again."

[Don't worry about them, there are only corpses left, continue with the mission. ]

"receive."

At this time, the second team was on a hill a thousand meters away, and a sniper gun was aiming at the center of the castle.

The remaining members in the rear were quickly assembling an improved Nebelwerfer rocket. The 36-barrel disposable rocket tubes were quickly fitted onto the launcher and loaded with ammunition.

Derived from the old version of the Nebelwerfer that could only fire 6 to 12 missiles, the manufacturing process was improved and the caliber of the barrel was reduced. With the support of new explosive technology, although the amount of explosives was reduced, the power is still the same as before.

Moreover, the advantage in numbers is specifically amplified, and precise control of ignition through simple smart chips can achieve the purpose of fire coverage instantly.

This fire coverage does not cause devastating damage to the buildings on the opposite side, but uses cluster bomb warheads to take advantage of the wide dispersion of rocket launchers to cover an anti-infantry minefield.

Under the guidance from the air, the Valkyrie team quickly advanced inside. The manor sentries lurking in the dark detected the external environment through magic. They were far away from each other and could not see the team clearly, which was able to camouflage and hide to a certain extent.

However, as the distance got closer, the density of the sentries in the inner circle increased suddenly, and they could only be cleared away bit by bit.

[The engine is normal, the trim plate has been balanced, the horizontal tail has jumped to the maximum angle, No. 101 applies to carry out the mission. ]

【Tower calling 101, cleared for takeoff.】

【receive. 】

At the same time, the Cat fighter plane that was transferred from the Alliance homeland to the airport in Yusis State completed its maintenance work, and was equipped with special bombs and took off under the guidance of the tower.

The variable swept wing is extended to the maximum, and the aircraft takes off in a very short gliding distance under the thrust of two powerful tail flame nozzles at the tail. After reaching the predetermined height, the wings are folded together into a triangle and accelerated towards the target.

As the afterburner was turned on, a sonic boom suddenly erupted all over the body of the Cat fighter, like a meteor streaking across the sky, rushing towards the target area at high speed with a rumbling sound.

[Support is about to arrive, Team 1, please take precautions. ]

After hearing the warning, Valkyrie and the others quietly hid behind a wall, waiting for fire support from above.

At this time, they could already hear a faint rumbling sound.

[Commander, we are approaching the action area and are about to enter the scheduled combat route. We are checking weapons and equipment.]
