Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 40: Dawn of Peace

Peace did not come as expected.

As the contacts between the old nobles and the Santos party became more and more heated, one late night, the National Bank was besieged by a group of unidentified armed men. The rebels and bank staff stationed inside were all killed and stored. All the funds in the underground vault were gone.

Half an hour after the attack, the King's Army and the rebels stationed nearby came to hear the news. All they saw was a corpse. In the dark, whoever fired the first shot, the two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle. Large-scale battles ended in defeat for ill-prepared rebels.

The next day, Charlie accused the rebels that it was a self-directed and self-directed operation to take away a large amount of money stored in the underground vault. He also said that many soldiers were killed in the street fighting last night, and the infantry regiment will not accept the rebels. Armistice, continue to attack Sona Palace.

Afterwards, the 1st Infantry Regiment, which had been in existence for several days, launched an attack on the rebel barricades. They used artillery to tear open the enemy's barricades, and rushed into the gap in the face of the enemy's hail of bullets. They fought hand-to-hand with the enemy and finally defeated the rebels.

After finally returning to the peaceful city of Ankerton, the sound of gunfire rang out again. After the old aristocrats learned that all the funds from the National Bank were stolen, they immediately demanded the Santos Party to give an answer in stern terms, and handed over the messenger behind the scenes. The money was also in the bank, and disappeared with it!

Faced with this inexplicable accusation, Santos naturally couldn't accept it. While he ordered Belland and Sandy to organize an army to resist Charlie's attack, he ordered a thorough investigation of the matter. However, how could he find out, whether it was coins or gold bricks? It was absorbed by Charlie, the mastermind behind the scenes, as a system gold coin. Even if he rummaged through the entire city of Ankerton, he would not be able to find it.

That's right, the mastermind behind the attack on the National Bank was Charlie. All funds stored in it are absorbed.

It was a daring attack and a big gamble, and it turned out that Charlie won the gamble. He managed to take tons of valuable metal stored in the underground vault, and led the suspect to the rebels - he is the famous general German The grandson of Marshal Bra, no one would think that he led the attack, because the funds that were robbed also belonged to his family.

As for the Santos party... Although they usually advertise their private property as sacred and inviolable, their innate rebel attributes have already made it hard for them to believe. Coupled with the hostility of the old nobles to them, everyone is the first The suspects that come to mind are naturally them.

In any case, the inventory Charlie absorbed from this attack included silver coins, gold coins, gold bricks and various precious jewelry, and the weight of several tons allowed him to finally obtain assets as high as 210,000 gold coins!

This is the real rich country!

Having obtained so many gold coins, Charlie was a little overwhelmed for a while, but he quickly calmed down and proceeded step by step according to his previous plan. At the same time, he was also looking forward to how the Santos party would deal with his frame-up.

It's like a child who makes a prank, secretly laughing and wanting to see how the person who gets hit will react.

However, what happened next was always beyond his expectations.

Three days after the attack, the Santos actually caught the attackers. They led a group of disgraced men to the barricade where Charlie was garrisoned under Sandy's personal leadership, claiming that they were the attackers and demanding Charlie sent troops to **** them to Curo Town.

When Charlie heard the news, he rushed to take a look, and he was immediately happy. He still had an impression of those few people. Isn't it the newly promoted aristocrats who made their fortunes by relying on the Industrial Revolution!

Good guy, he immediately understood the idea of ​​the Santos party. This wave is called abandoning the car to protect the handsome, forcibly beat the new nobles who have enmity with the old nobles as the mastermind behind the scenes to please the old nobles, and then use the new nobles' family assets to make money. Compensation for the old nobleman - after talking to Sandy later, his explanation is not much different from what Charlie guessed.

Santos did use the new nobles as scapegoats. At the beginning, he cooperated with the new nobles for their money. Now that the old nobles are in trouble, he has nowhere to find the real attackers, so he can only use the empty space. The newly promoted nobles who have money but no force have been arrested and forcibly beaten into attackers.

Of course, there is no way to satisfy the old aristocracy by making a single move. After the establishment of the new government, Santos will use nearly half of the seats in the Senate as a concession to let the old aristocrats turn the matter over.

That was nearly half of the seats, and Charlie couldn't help but smack his tongue. If the Santos party loses power in the future, the old aristocracy may become the master of the Senate at any time. If it encounters the dominance of the royalists, the Santos party can basically wait for the restoration of the king. liquidated.

Thinking of this, Charlie smacked his tongue again.

Charlie then sent half a battalion to **** Sandy and the others to Curo Town. At the same time, he also began to count the number of soldiers and guns and ammunition under his command. It seemed that this civil war was impossible to fight. Go down, but his army must be retained, this is his basic plan.

The main combat force in the Charlie Infantry Regiment is the musketeer recruited from the students. The two full battalions did not suffer much loss. These people are also candidates for officers. It is definitely not possible for them to continue to serve as ordinary soldiers. possible.

He had an idea, that is, let the soldiers be dispersed to serve as officers in other armies in the country. If there is another civil war in the future, maybe there will be many loyal people in the army that fights with Charlie. Victory is easy.

Well, this idea can be kept for now. After the new government is established, he will find a relationship to operate it.

Then there are the more than 1,000 militiamen. They were fighting against the fear of death for Charlie. They died one after another under the hail of bullets from the enemy. Although they were no better than the 100-dollar mobilized soldiers next door, they still moved Charlie very much.

What is a good brother, this is a good brother.

Charlie specifically inquired about the system. These militiamen can be disbanded. After being disbanded, they will become ordinary people. However, because the influence of the system on them will not dissipate so easily, their favorability to Charlie will remain at a certain level. within the extent of. In addition, they will automatically keep their mouths shut about their experiences as militiamen.

This also avoids the possibility of Charlie's secrets being leaked. I have to say that the system is really thoughtful.

Finally, there are the existing guns and ammunition. Apart from the outdated old-fashioned rifles and old-fashioned matchlock guns, there are more than 700 rifles in Charlie's hands that have not yet been equipped.
