The night passed, and when the cold sun came to Tanville again, the citizens who had already survived the hard night under artillery fire and panic appeared, and the whole of Tanville changed overnight.On the streets, armed patrol mechs and soldiers in combat uniforms moved back and forth in rows, and barricades were set up at the corners of the streets.If you're lucky, you'll be able to stay at home, hugging your terrified family, watching the heavily armed soldiers outside the window, at the marks of explosions at the corner of the street, and at the burning flames of buildings in the distance.Bad luck, in the night, was already sent into the sky by flying shells.Even if they survived, they had to live on the streets because their house had been turned into a bunker, a bunker, or, simply, at the center of fire on both sides of the war.They were confined to thin clothing, and in the cold winter, the family trudged as far away from the shelling as they could with what little possessions they had.However, the whole of Tanville has become a huge battlefield, and no matter which way you go, there will be more and more intense artillery fire, and in every direction, there will be collapsed houses and burning skyscrapers.People can only stop, find a small leeward place, and look around blankly.There are very few flying cars parked on the side of the road, some of which have been overturned on the side of the road, and some of which have been turned into pieces of metal by military mechs running back and forth.There are also flying cars that have been reduced to wreckage in the explosion, with mutilated bodies and traces left by burning.Wrapped around Tanville like a streamer, most of the road has been destroyed, the road surface has been blown out of large holes, and large pieces of concrete are suspended in the air, relying only on a little unbroken steel bar to connect with the magnetic metal band of the road surface, crumbling.Countless flying cars were stuck in the middle of the road, some of them still staring in horror, while many more merged into the crowd of people on foot, making their way through the traffic, trying to get away from the city that was full of gunfire.The ground roads at the bottom were filled with muddy mechs, and some of the wounded soldiers had just withdrawn, just lying in the corners of the streets and screaming in pain.The few medics wore white cross armbands and were sweating profusely.There were so many sick that some of the seriously wounded soldiers could only get a hastily injected painkiller and then lay on the side of the street in a sluggish manner waiting for death to come.Some people who had lost their loved ones, or who had collapsed in fear, stood up and down the streets, smirking at the hellish scene, their bodies, as if they were out of their control, and every time a military flying car or a highway mech slowly passed them, they would catch up like wild dogs on the street, shouting meaningless words in their mouths, until the car was far away, and then they would smile nervously and walk back to themselves.On the eastern side of Tanville, a history professor and his family rushed out of his house.The old building where he had lived for forty years had become a bunker for two mechs, the huge mechs leaning against the edge of the building, and the mechanical manipulator's above-ground energy cannon firing fiercely at the opposite side of the street.Just ten minutes ago, the battle area was a whole street away, but the opponent's advance was too fast, and the scattered soldiers re-engaged in the battle again and again amid the roars of the officers, trying to stabilize the defensive line.The professor dragged his wife and children by the hand through the turbulent soldiers, and had just run back across another street when he heard a loud bang, and the old building where his house was located had been completely destroyed by several energy cannonballs.The stunned professor looked at the mecha that exploded and caught fire and the collapsed building, and was in a state of panic and fear, when he suddenly heard that his wife was grabbing his eldest son and shaking it, and shouted madly, "Where is your brother?"
What about your brother?
”The eight-year-old eldest son cried and trembled, pointing in the direction of his home, and only cried repeatedly: "Toys...
Toys ......
""Boom!
”Another violent explosion sounded on the edge of the old building, and the professor sat down on the side of the street, crying and wailing his wife, his eldest son in horror, the crowd running, the soldiers shooting, the flash of the explosion, everything became black and white.After a lifetime of talking about the history of imperial wars, the professor closed his eyes in despair, and the war finally came to the center of this country that had fought for hundreds of years.It turned out that the victory of the imperial [***] team marching majestically in the cities of other countries on TV and the news in the cheers and boiling, next to the camera lens, would be so miserable and terrifying.Do unto others as you would have them do to you!
The room was quiet, with a high dome that made the circular room seem a little empty.In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the synthetic bulletproof glass and sprinkles on the electronic virtual sand table in the center of the room, making the constantly wandering colorful virtual cursor appear abnormally vivid.This is the headquarters of the 42nd Division of the Defending Forces stationed in the Eastern Sector.Since the surrender of this unit, the division headquarters, which originally covered an area of nearly 400,000 square meters, has become Stephen's advance base, and the troops attacking the palace in the central district have all transferred from here, and the conference room of the division headquarters building has been arranged as a command room.Looking at the virtual sand table, the numbers on the virtual cursor kept changing, Stephen was a little stunned.A decrease in one number means that a soldier's life is gone, but Stephen doesn't care about that, unless all the numbers are cleared, which may make him raise his eyelids.In his hand, he held the information that had just arrived, and it was revealed that James had been killed in the explosion of a ship that tried to rescue the Earth Royal.He died, like a number on the cursor, and it diminished, vanished.When this moment finally came, Stephen suddenly felt a little at a loss, that man, his father, was the supreme ruler of this empire.He's really dead!
Pleasing James, speculating on James's thoughts, dreaming of James' abdication, hating James's ruthlessness, and finally betraying and killing James, have occupied Stephen's entire life.But now he suddenly appeared, and such a thing was gone with James's death!
Stephen stood up and looked out the window at the sunlight among the dense trees, and for a moment he was in a trance.His whole ambition was to succeed James and become a greater emperor than him.Stephen had no doubt about this goal, and in his eyes, James really couldn't be called great.Among Gacharin's successive emperors, James does not seem to have any talent or political achievements other than the iron bowl rule, he just aimlessly fights again and again, it seems, this is the whole point of being an emperor.Stephen had imagined what would happen to the empire if James died violently.He could have predicted such chaos as it was now, and in his imagination at the time, it was a hundred times more chaotic than it was now!
At that time, he didn't take such chaos seriously, he felt that he was fully capable and sure that in such chaos, he could quickly calm down the Gacharin Empire and re-concentrate power in the hands of the new emperor, that is, himself!
He was once certain that he would lead his army and sing all the way to become the greatest emperor and begin to write his own legend amid the roar of mecha engines and energy cannons.Let all enemies, light and dark, kneel in awe and tremble on both sides of the road they are on, and let the angry bear mark the flag of the Earth Emperor [***] fly high wherever you want to conquer!
However, it was only now that Stephen realized that compared to his father, he was just a child who had not grown up, and all the dreams that had been boiling with blood had become a quagmire on the day James really disappeared!
A night of offensive with little progress!
In addition to realizing the occupation plan for the East and South Sides of Tanville, which had been predetermined with his teacher Libgaut, Stephen had a sense of hitting a wall at every turn.First of all, the palace!
The royal guards in the palace are so tenacious, Stephen didn't expect that this honor guard that has been controlled by the waste George and performs in the palace every day in red uniforms and down hats has such a strong strength!
Two elite armored regiments and an entire fully mechanized infantry division continued to attack for ten hours, but they could not move forward, and were always blocked in the fourth block, two kilometers from the palace.Not being able to enter the palace, not being able to obtain the scepter that symbolizes the emperor, all the seals and passwords in the safe, and the command of the army, means that you can never give orders as the emperor.Without the Emperor's order to transfer troops, how long could Lucerne's battle last?
In modern warfare, without reinforcements and logistical supplies, it is impossible to win this war even if it is personally commanded by Sobol, the god of the Western Covenant army!
James's long-term centralized rule made every peripheral army have no possibility of participating in the change of central power, especially when the situation is uncertain, whoever dares to participate must be prepared to be replaced by his own deputies or the grassroots officers to disobey orders.This article used to be the biggest reliance on one's own coup d'état, and as long as it can be decided, the front-line war will hardly be greatly affected.However, what I was worried about was not only born, but also so suddenly.The west side of Tanvir, already occupied by the Legion of Myths!
Reinhardt suddenly appeared in the most chaotic place, took control of the 17th Panzer Division and the 5th All-Mechanized Infantry Division in the Western District, and issued a crusade against himself, he had no interest in what was in the palace, as long as he killed himself, he could end the entire Morton family and pave the way for him to ascend to the throne!
“…… Stephen didn't think about the grace of nurturing, regardless of the feelings of brotherhood, he brazenly staged a coup d'état, killed his father and brother, and tried to plot to usurp the throne.The heart of the wolf and the lungs of the dog are ......
If Gacharin's future is handed over to this ruthless and unrighteous person, he will be angry and resentful......
I, Reinhardt, swear to get rid of this evil fang for the Empire, and I will die nine times without looking back......"
Thinking of the words on this notice, Stephen's hand involuntarily clenched hard, almost crushing the information in his hand: "This damn bastard!
Could it be that the Mythical Legion appeared in the prison to rescue James, and the disappearance of George has nothing to do with you?
”In addition to the worst enemy, Reinhardt, there is also the North District!
The northern district of Tanville has been occupied by the former first general of the empire, Gordon, and his old partner Heilig!
These two old and slippery foxes, at the beginning of their own coup d'état, escaped from their own control, quietly and quickly gathered the remnants of the military headquarters, with the 6th Ace Armored Division of the Northern Region and the 32nd Armored Division of the 6th Army as the team, forming their own faction.They are under the banner of George, the heir to the throne who has disappeared!
The three forces are criss-crossed, and no one will easily admit defeat, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to calm down the chaos in a short period of time and let Gacharin return to a powerful voice.Standing in front of the window, Stephen couldn't figure out how the situation he had been, when he thought he was foolproof, could have turned into the situation he was in.Bruce, why did you miss it?"
Reinhardt, I have to be sure of one thing, the rumors about you and James......
It's true?
”Concanon picked up the coffee in front of him and observed his classmates with his eyes.If there is a person in this world who is qualified to ask Reinhardt the best questions about his background, then only Concanon at this moment has this qualification.He was Reinhardt's best friend when he was studying in the Desik Empire, and at the same time, he was also the only son of Prince Claulin of the Desik Empire, and an envoy of the Desik Empire.A man who could be of the greatest help to Reinhardt during this most critical period.Reinhardt laughed, got up from the sand, and walked to the desk: "I don't think this matter will be worth your attention...
I don't think you'd believe such a nonsensical rumor..."
Conkanon raised his eyes, smiled slightly, and put down the coffee cup in his hand: "I hope you don't mind my rudeness, I don't want to get involved in a household chore, if you can draw a line with the Morton family, it will be great." ”He straightened the cuffs of his shirt and continued: "To our Majesty, James is his old friend, and to me, I only hope that the next Emperor Gachalin will only be my good friend." ”Reinhardt smiled slightly, nodded and said, "For this, I can guarantee it." ”Conkannon said: "Then I can also guarantee that before the Desik Empire agrees, Libgaut and the Naga Federation can only stand by and watch this civil war!"
If Western has any proposals, we will surely choose you as James's successor. ”The two looked at each other and smiled, and Concannon said: "According to the report of your regimental commander, James's death should be undoubted, but I have received instructions from His Majesty Frank to find James at all costs, and to see the dead or the corpse."
Make sure he doesn't fall into the hands of the Leray Federation. ”"What kind of federal agents, it's just a group of people who have been beaten by the Mythical Legion and are hiding in the East Hiding Province and other people are just meeting at the right time."
Reinhardt said lightly: "However, the fugitive mentioned by the prisoners is indeed very interesting, he even deceived me!"
Maybe, he will deceive other people......"
Speaking of the fat man named Zhang Yuan, Reinhardt's face was a little ugly, he clicked on the Skynet information system, and said to Concannon: "At 7:40, the mark of the highest authority has appeared in the Skynet system, because the level is not enough, we cannot track the use of the highest authority and the location of its appearance, however, in O'Sullivan's report, around 7:10, James has been determined to be dead." ”Reinhardt moved with a smile and said with a stiff face: "Maybe someone got the highest authority but survived, or maybe O'Sullivan was also deceived, and now, my legions are all engaged in the attack on the border between the Central and Southern Sectors, and they cannot carry out a large-scale search."
I'm sure your mech unit can surprise me a little, after all, the technology level of the Desik Empire is much higher than that of Gacharin. ”Conkannon raised his eyebrows and said conceitedly: "Speaking of mecha tracking, Desik's hunter legion, even if it is not the first in the world, will not be able to produce the top three, we can't directly participate in your civil war, but we can still do it to help you get the highest authority, maybe, now, the hunters have caught the prey!"
