Chapter 1392: Twenty-six. The destruction of the kingdom (7)

   The dull and empty voice echoed in the ear, and after a full minute, the blank head reflected the explosion.

A few days ago, the explosion that made Miss Blanche bounce off the bed was only a numb and empty sigh. After getting rid of the initial fear, now the explosion or shooting has become the daily routine of Rudes, From dignitaries to nobles, to civilians, they have become numb to this, until one day they can't even maintain numbness, and they choose to self-determination or to be buried with others.

   dragged the heavy steps from the bed to the toilet, unscrewed the faucet, and the water pipe made a grunt like a swamp. After a while, the dark red muddy water mixed with sand and rust flowed out of the water pipe. After nearly five minutes, the color of the water began to gradually become transparent. Holding a handful of cold water on the dry face, the cold expelled the pain and dizziness from the head of Miss Wang's chief secretary, and Miss Blanche who entered the state began to wash and make up.

   Nowadays, the atmosphere spreading in Lüdes can't find any more suitable adjectives except "strange".

From the beginning, the Defense Force did not regard Rudes as a target for long-range airstrikes and shelling. After several disturbances, the city remained generally intact, especially basic living support facilities, such as electricity and water supply. Heating system, etc. But now, except for the core area where the government and royal families are located, the entire city is completely inoperable, and even the supply of water and electricity in the core area is barely maintained.

The reason is very simple. No matter how sophisticated hardware facilities and software systems need maintenance, they can function normally. If no one maintains it, or if the person who uses and maintains it has no intention of working and perfunctory, one can imagine that it will be What kind of scene.

  Charlemagne's municipal system is almost paralyzed. From the department head to the grassroots staff, everyone just goes to work on time every day, and gets off work when the time is up. Apart from chatting, eating and sleeping during the period, he did nothing.

   This is not to say that the Charlemagne are lazy blameless people, although they are more interested in strike marches than work. But if you give them the right compensation, they will also be first-class workers, and will not lose to the elves in rigorous and serious. But if they think they can't get the corresponding rewards no matter how hard they work, even if they have to work 18 hours a day and still have to undertake additional voluntary work, they can't support the family. Anger.

As the capital, Lüders has never suffered from material shortages. When it is difficult to find traces of butter and coffee beans in the markets of other regions, the citizens of Lüders can still obtain these things through rations, even cigarettes and candy And chocolate can also start. People are well-dressed, and cafes and theaters are also very lively. In order to maintain morale and resolve the gloomy atmosphere, all theaters perform entertainment programs such as light comedy and light music every day. As the war situation became darker, entertainment venues became more and more overcrowded, and food supply began to run short. The meat ration of 500 grams per family per week dropped to 160 grams per week, and vegetables and fruits became luxury goods. . Other daily necessities are even more scarce. The total amount of food that can be obtained has dropped sharply. It is even more difficult to buy new boots and new clothes. Even the supply of tobacco has shrunk sharply, so that schools and communities have conducted a large number of lectures exhorting citizens to smoke harmful to health. The new bill simply prohibits the sale of tobacco to female consumers.

  In order to suppress the general dissatisfaction caused by the lack of materials, the military police police often monitor the residents and severely crack down on attempts to hoard food. The hungry citizens had to put the meat food in camouflage and put them in kimchi or something else that smelled bad, so as to avoid the search by the gendarmerie. After the Battle of Rhein, the food supply deteriorated further. The milk on the market was mixed with three-quarters of water, and it was difficult to find normal non-staple food. The animals in the zoo have been sent to the slaughterhouse. Some shops openly sell rat meat, pigeon meat, cat meat, and dog meat. The high-end restaurant launches lion tiger peacock dishes. Individual chefs use their imagination, such as pouring meat to unicorns. On the Madeira sauce (in order to circumvent the law protecting unicorns, the restaurant recipe reads "a donkey with sauce"...), the elephant is sliced ​​and stewed, and all kinds of novelties and dark dishes are fighting for a while. Happily.

The bad news revealed by the hunger and the wounded soldiers withdrawn from the front line is like a file, which is always weakening the affordability of the citizens of Lüdes. As the Defense Air Force launched a large-scale bombing of cities serving as transportation hubs and material distribution centers, the tragedy of the cities after the bombing began to spread. Some relatives in the west and south heard that in the violent bombing, people in the west were killed, burned and suffocated, women lost their husbands, children lost their parents... and so on. Before they could recover from the sadness and panic, the new national decree came down again. All men over the age of 17 must report to the military camp and enter the melting pot of war. The boys must carry the robberies, and the girls must take part in auxiliary work, such as military production.

At this time, rumors about the defeat of the war had begun to spread among the people. Under the strong suppression of the violent institutions, the argument of defeatism was once subsided. Before the beginning of the Battle of the Rhine, the people were still full of confidence, believing that "this is the last time", "Victory soon." When the media system of Yalfheim put the whole process of the defeat of the Rhine in front of people, all the voices that carried the war to the end disappeared. Even the hardest elements witnessed the "Legion" raging the land, they had to realize that defeat was inevitable, and the kingdom was over and the days of defeat were not far away.

   defeatist rhetoric and all kinds of outlandish remarks appeared again on the streets of Rudes, this time even violent institutions joined the ranks of defeatism, and the embers burned more fiercely after reignition. The workers began to passively slacken their jobs, the peasants blatantly resisted paying rent and taxes, and the police refused to arrest political prisoners. In addition to the above passive resistance and non-violent non-cooperation, some words that were considered very dangerous in Yalfheim accompanied the start of violence Spread in Rudes.

  ——We paid the most, but received the least.

  ——We are the cornerstone of the country, but they are trampled on by the dignitaries. We work hard every day, but never enjoy the fruits of our labor.

  ——It is us who work hard, and it is us who are squeezed and enslaved. Even now, we have to be buried by the incompetent nobles who are full of intestines! We've had enough! We have to say "no" to all this! We have to unite ~www.readwn.com~ Let those dross hear our roar!

  ——We and our family gnawed bread and wood porridge full of salt every day. Those officers and noble lords chewed foie gras and caviar in a luxuriously decorated restaurant. What's wrong with this country? I have to be lost in thought.

  ——The bomb will never reach the heads of the lords. We and the air raid shelter will help them block the bomb.

  ——Citizens! Unite! We want to destroy the parasites that **** on us! We want to ring the death knell of these vampires and build a free and fair country!

The inflammatory slogan quickly spread among the grassroots people in Rudes. The citizens who had been muddled all the time suddenly found that they had answers to the questions they had been deeply buried in, and their longing for a better life and getting rid of the tragic status quo. Desire to prompt people to change their mindsets, most people privately began to expect the elf army to be killed as soon as possible, liberating them from the tyranny of the military country, while protecting them from the Ostolians and St. Eastman Crown leaders, Castiles-the harm of all the people who have groaned under Charlemagne's hoof. And a small group of people-people of different origins, ages, genders, and even their purposes are not exactly the same. The organization known as the "Rudes Commune" seems to have some of their own ideas about the current situation. ...
