Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

Chapter 1477: 1. Marseille (4)

There was a long war before.

The so-called history is a history of war. There have been countless battles in the past, ranging from the unrecognizable turmoil to the historic battle of the General Assembly. The sum of these countless battles is the so-called "long war".

For the subjects of the empire, in particular the so-called "new returnees", who were converted from the citizens of the old Charlemagne kingdom to the fourth-class citizens of the empire, the "long war" represents an unbearable past, symbolizing turmoil, restlessness, fanaticism, Poverty, humiliation, death from the sky anytime, anywhere, and hunger that seems to see no end. After going from one failure to another, and falling from despair to deeper despair, people have lost their enthusiasm for the political movement. Now everyone just wants to live a good life and be safe and secure as an imperial law-abiding citizen.

In the era of the Charlemagne Kingdom, the courage to reveal such ideas is undoubtedly a shameful act of slandering the enemy. The patriots will come to the door and the gendarmes will invite your family to drink tea. When the empire was first established, there would be junior young men and rebellious young men who could not turn their heads, splashing paint on their doors, or smashing windows. After various powerful departments took effective action, almost all the voices of hostility to the empire disappeared overnight, and it seemed that everyone had become the fourth-class citizens who were loyal and patriotic.

Then the history that most imperial citizens of the fourth class wanted to avoid is now being learned and examined by loyal imperial citizens.

The municipal library in the district of Lüderst was rebuilt from the Old Kingdom Army Building. The bronze statue of the crown prince and prince prancing horse was removed after the war. The bronze statue was recovered and melted and cast into a big one. Bell, a statue of the muse in charge of history was placed on the old pedestal. A bronze laurel wreath was inlaid on the bronze medal at the foot of the muse. The center of the wreath was the emperor’s famous saying: "The correct history is worth A hundred teachers".

After taking over the building, the Imperial Defence Force sealed all the archives for the first time, and then a large number of civilians who came from Yalfheim spent a full three months to identify and classify various archives. After the files were archived and organized, they were all packaged and sent to the Imperial Archives of the Imperial Capital of Alfheim, the world’s largest archives, with a height of ten floors. Except for the top two floors, the administrative office, and the entire database below . The core underground archive is located 60 meters underground and can resist direct bombing by nuclear bombs.

After that, for a whole year, this building was requisitioned as the "Joint Garrison Command". During the days when the three-nation army headquarters stationed in Zarudes were camped, they could hear the quarrels every day. Until two years ago, the division of the administrative block of Rudes was settled (in order not to even divide the army building into three, the empire paid for the building property), the army of the three countries officially signed the agreement to divide the occupation and cancel it At the Joint Garrison Command, everyone went back to their homes, and the kind of day-to-day disputes and verbal abuse were declared over. Later, in the spirit of waste utilization, this building was converted into a municipal library and was open to all citizens. As the only public facility open to all citizens in the Rudes Special Administrative Region and the entire empire, "equal but segregated" signs, dotted lines that distinguish ethnic groups, and X-only citizen-specific things do not exist here. As long as you don’t disturb others, basically no one controls whether you are a class citizen, whether you are in the corresponding area, using the corresponding channel and equipment.

"This is the war-time Alfheim Elementary School."

Marseille pointed to a color photo, and his finger lightly poked a few first-class citizen schoolchildren who were writing down.

"After the war began, all primary and secondary schools in Yalfheim will practice dictation every afternoon. The broadcast will broadcast the frontline battles in three words at a time. The students will meticulously write down what they hear. This picture It may appear in the form of question and answer questions and multiple choice questions. If it is a multiple choice question, it is likely to be a trap question. You must pay attention to the details of the problem description and whether there is the word "wartime" in the options. There is also this , This is the middle school playground in Alfheim. The world map is hung under the national flag, and the small flag on the map conveys the good news of the victory of the defense forces in real time..."

Lika is busy with taking notes. He writes slowly, and sometimes he also makes some inexplicable spelling mistakes. Writing in Charlemagne is barely okay, and it is replaced by elf language with rigorous rigors. disaster. Everyone knows that all questions and answers of the various examination papers of the empire stipulate the use of elven language, the only official language of the empire. Therefore, when Ricardo took notes in elven language, boredom and waiting became a must-have process in Marseille.

In order to get through this time, Marseille will be thrown out of the window, and the green and flowery scenery makes him feel a lot of relief, but this did not last long. An ugly building plunged into the blue eyes of Marseille like a thorn. , Has been deeply immersed in his heart.

That is a wall.

A 5 meter high wall guarded by barbed wire, power grids, rail deer villages, anti-vehicle trenches, tower posts, searchlights, and snipers, tripping flares, mines, and other weapon systems that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.

This looks like a facility used to protect prisons or KZ (short for concentration camps). If such a wall is found around such facilities, it will not make people feel inconsistent at all. The problem is that this wall appears in In the urban area of ​​Lüders, the entire Lüders was divided into three-just as the former Charlemagne kingdom was divided into three by the iron curtain that was lowered after the war.

Some people may think that this is also a "masterpiece" of the empire, but it is not.

It was the bears of the United Principality of Ross who first built the wall.

As early as during the war, the three wartime allies—Yalfheim, the Kingdom of Albion, and the United Principality of Ross—had agreed on the division and occupation of Rudes and even Charlemagne. But at the time, except for a small number of high-level officials, no one thought that the war would eventually lead to the unilateral victory of the empire, so that Rudes was deeply "embedded" in the empire's occupied area. As a result, Albion and Rose originally had Rudes as the center, and the wishful calculation that divided Charlemagne into three pieces fell through. In the war that defeated Charlemagne, the empire that played the leading role occupied the most territory without suspense, and Albion and Ross also got their own share. Later, in order to fulfill the treaty signed during the war, highlighting the "goodwill and friendship" between the three countries, the empire did indeed fulfill the agreement. Albion and Ross also obtained their enclave in the oldest and richest city of Charlemagne. The famous political freak—the existence of three municipal governments, divided and occupied by the armies of the three countries. At the same time, the “Rudes Special Administrative Region” where the entire city’s telephone lines, sewers and transportation are shared is established.

At the beginning, Rudes' division only existed at the political and legal levels, and the lives of ordinary citizens were not affected at all. Fourth-class citizens under the empire can go to work in the occupation area of ​​the Kingdom of Albion. After work, they can go to the black market in the area occupied by the Ross Principality to exchange money for shopping and consumption. Read uncensored books and watch banned comedies. At that time, the citizens of Lüdes used this method to add some fun to their dull and depressed life, and dividing the occupation line was nothing more than a dotted line brushed with red paint in front of the road or building. Until a year ago, the occupying army of the United Principality of Ross launched Operation Rose, almost overnight, a wall completely torn Rüdes.

The behavior of the Principality was neither a whim nor a shot of the brain after drinking too much vodka. It was really forced to make such a wall.

The area occupied by the United Duchy of Ross is slightly smaller than that of Albion and is the smallest of the areas occupied by the three countries. The population of its controlled area is also the smallest. As a matter of fact, there are fewer people, and it is more convenient to manage. However, the occupied area of ​​the Principality has been on the verge of runaway from the moment it was established.

Throughout the war, the defense forces have been careful to avoid hurting Rudes, "an important asset that will be occupied sooner or later." In the end, this Charlemagne's largest and richest city welcomed the occupying forces in good condition. For the Principality Army, where the vast majority of soldiers come from the countryside and countryside, the excitement of this beautiful city is unprecedented. The beautiful buildings, the decent clothes, the dazzling array of goods, and even the night The lights of expulsion-all of them stimulate their original instinct, the instinct of the beast.

Although the upper classes of the Principality scorned the soldiers as "grey animals", to the enemy's military and civilians, the Principality soldiers are a group of beasts that use weapons, speak human language, and spread violence and terror wherever they go. Massacre, robbery, arson, rape... Cities conquered by the Principality's army will collapse a little bit in the sinful carnival until they are completely destroyed, and then be crowned with a Principality-style name, build a Principality-style building, and flood into a large number of Residents of the Principality. Everything originally disappeared as if it never existed.

But this time, although the "animals" were excited to drool, it was difficult to do so. Because this occupation operation is directly related to the face of the Principality and the tsar's "little father", anyone who dares to discredit the tsar's face will be subject to the harshest punishment. If you don’t want to be hanged and your family is exiled to dig potatoes in permafrost, then be honest. Under the supervision of the gendarmerie and the chief, the Principality Army once acted very peacefully, almost making people think that this group of "grey animals" was called by the mother goddess.

However, no matter whether it is the upper tier of the Principality or the grassroots soldiers, they did not expect that their tolerance and self-discipline were in exchange for a large loss of funds and talent in the occupied area.

In all fairness, the military of the Principality performed better than any previous occupation operation, and they were indeed determined to build the occupied area into a window to show the superiority and tolerance of the Principality to the Charlemagne and even the Empire nationals. For this reason, they even gave up the plan of packing and transporting all the materials in the occupied area back to the country to serve as Charlemagne’s war compensation for the principality. Even so, the economic recovery rate of the Principality-occupied area is still extremely slow compared with the Empire-occupied area and the Albian-occupied area.

There are many reasons for this situation. The main reason is that the occupied area in Rüdes is far away from the Principality, and there is no direct land connection to the port city under the occupation of the Principality. The long-distance transportation of goods is originally costly, plus any entry and exit of goods will be charged by the empire, which makes the prices in the occupied area continue to remain high. On the other hand, according to the exchange rate at that time, the price of the same glass of beer in the Principality occupied area was only one third to one quarter of the area occupied by the empire. As long as the empire citizens spent a few fennies, they could cut their hair You can spend a whole day with small change and buy a lot of good things. For the residents of the Empire and the Albian occupancy, the Principality-occupied area is a shopping paradise. For the Principality, this is serious economic damage and intolerable economic aggression. In addition, a large number of highly-educated Charlemagne—scholars, teachers, professors, engineers, judges, skilled workers, doctors, and other professionals have run away because of the difficulty of making a living in the occupied territory of the Principality, which has a deteriorating standard of living. The Principality hopes that the occupied area will be built into a "window", and its intention to show its "superiority" has gone bankrupt. What can be done now is to either evacuate or draw the curtains of the window to isolate the inside and outside. Since the Principality kept its face in the face (withdrawing from the occupied territories was equivalent to announcing defeat, and even acknowledging that the Principality’s policy was wrong), they chose the latter method-the use of force was too "violent" and the barbed wire was too "weak" "Let's build a wall!"

So on the morning of New Year's Day one year ago, when the citizens of Rudes, who had just celebrated the New Year, woke up, they found a 40-kilometer barbed wire with barbed snakes spreading along the border of the occupied area~www.readwn.com~ Opposite, tens of thousands of Principality soldiers with live ammunition loaded with gun butts drove the crying citizens back. In areas of intense conflict, people who want to forcibly break through the blockade are shot directly. In the end, in the crying and cursing, countless families, couples, and friends ushered in the tragedy that had been close but had to separate, and Rudes also ushered in the city's most humiliating and sad days since its establishment.

By 12:47 noon on New Year's Day, the blockade system was marked by the announcement of the last intersection. The blockade system called "against the anti-wall (this name is black humor)" by the Principality was preliminarily completed, which announced the beginning of the division of Rudes It also announced that the Principality and its former allies formally kicked off the Cold War.

Looking at the ugly building that divided Rudes at the material and spiritual levels at the same time, Marseille sighed indifferently, and turned his attention back to the dead party who was about to finish his notes.

He didn't know yet that his destiny was about to usher in a major turning point, and the man who changed his destiny was now under the wall that he was just paying attention to.
