C1 Rebellion under heavy pressure
Since 60 years ago, when humans had come into contact with the Zerg, the war between the Zerg and humans had never stopped. In the human world, everyone knew that without the complete elimination of the bug clan, there would never be a peaceful situation between humans and bugs.
Even though the war with the formics was a war that humans fought for their own survival. However, even though the war lasted for a long time, the ordinary citizens gradually lost interest in it. More and more people began to question this war.
In the human world, it was not only more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, but it was also constantly erupting with peaceful opinions of the bug clan. In the capital of the Skanskriff Empire, in a simple house, the speech of the Skanskrit Empire's Marshal, Ninkwu, to all Skanskrit's citizens was being played.
"Citizens of Scandinaviger, our human world is going to launch a new attack against the bug clan. This time, our human interstellar alliance will not only heavily injure the bug clan, but also take back our lost galaxy." On the monitor, Ning Kewu waved his fist and shouted loudly.
Hearing his words, Chen Hongbin turned off the monitor and disdainfully said, "This Ningkwu knows how to bewitch people. This time, humans are going to attack the bug clan again, I wonder how many people will die."
"Didn't Ningkwu already say so?" This time, we humans can heavily injure the bug clan, and recover our lost territory. " "Yes." Chen Hongxin said with some excitement. Heavy damage to the bug clan? Recycling the lost land? Chen Hongxin, be realistic. Our great Star Alliance had said something like that three years ago, but in the end, how about it? Isn't it still being repaired by us humans? " Chen Hongjing said angrily.
In this room, Bai XianYong, Chen Hongbin, Chen Hongjing, and Chen Hongxin had been good friends since they were young. This time, after hearing that the human race was going to attack the formics, they immediately gathered together to discuss what to do next.
Hearing that they were in an argument, Bai XianYong said, "Alright, let's not argue anymore." Since he said he would attack the formics, then this war was unavoidable. We're just a bunch of small fry, it's impossible to dictate the decisions of big fry. But we can't sit back and wait for death. "
"Our neighborhood is a slum, and it's the focus of every conscription. I don't think anyone will forget that ever since the outbreak of the war with the formics, the Scandinavian Empire has never stopped recruiting soldiers here. You may not know it, but I have secretly seen the army recruitment records of the Skandar Empire here. "
"During these sixty years, the Skandar Empire has recruited over two hundred thousand soldiers, but only twenty thousand of them were able to return alive. Even if they managed to return alive, most of them are physically disabled. Didn't our fathers all get sent to the battlefield and never return? "
"This time, who knows how many more soldiers will be recruited here. We definitely cannot just sit still and wait for death. We have to think of something. "
"Method?" What is it? " "" Chen Hongbai asked curiously. Since defending against the bugs is a matter for all of humanity, why should we just let our slums die? " Bai Xian Yong said angrily.
There was a clear rule in Skandvjer about conscription, and that was that in every conscription, if a man of his age was willing to pay a hundred Union dollars, he would be exempted from military service. For poor people like Bai XianYong, after a month of hard work, they could only get a salary of a dozen or so union coins. They would only be able to save up a hundred union coins if they didn't eat or drink. Moreover, the Scandal Empire did not recruit troops once. Although it had been three years since the Scandal Empire had conducted forced conscription, this time, Bai XianYong, Chen Hongzhu, Chen Hongjing, and Chen Hongxin had all reached the required age for conscription, so they were definitely captured by the Scandal Empire soldiers and sent to the battlefield.
Bai XianYong and the other civilians were naturally furious at the Scandal Empire's recruitment order. Therefore, after the Scandal Empire revealed that they were going to recruit soldiers, a wave of anger spread through the slums where Bai XianYong lived.
"Long Xingzhao came to see me yesterday. He said he wanted to organize us all for a parade. Let the Skandar Empire know of our dissatisfaction. " Bai Xian Yong continued. Bai XianYong, is there any use in a demonstration? " Chen Hongjing said uncertainly.
"No matter what, we have to give it a try. At the very least, we have to let the Scandal Empire know our dissatisfaction. We can't let them bully us so casually." Chen Hongbin immediately said.
"That's right. In the past, if a soldier was killed in battle, there would be a small amount of pension. But now? If a soldier died, he would only receive 10 union coins. Even if he didn't die, he would only get 2 union coins as a monthly pension. With just this little bit of money, why would you want us to work so hard for the Skagen Empire? " Chen Hongxin said with dissatisfaction.
Hearing the words of Chen Hongbin, Chen Hongjing, and Chen Hongxin, Bai Xianyong knew that they, like the other poor people, must be very dissatisfied with the recruitment order of the Skanskrit Empire. Bai Xian Yong nodded and said, "Ok, that's that. You guys go inform the others. All the young people in our street are gathered together. Waiting for Long Xing to act according to them. "
After hearing Bai XianYong's words, Chen Hongzhen, Chen Hongjing, and Chen Hongxin also left his room and walked towards other places. This night was destined to not be a peaceful one. When Bai XianYong wanted to communicate with Long Xingzhao, Ningkwu, within the Scandal Empire's staff, was also nervously making plans.
"This …" At this moment, Ning Kewu angrily placed a document on his desk. This is the conscription list you drew up? Do you know that this time, we humans are going to have a huge battle with the bug clan? This war, is most likely the biggest battle between us and the bug clan in the past 60 years. "
"Since this is a huge battle, we need a lot of soldiers. Not hundreds of thousands, not hundreds of thousands, but hundreds of millions of soldiers. This time, the Alliance has given us five million soldiers to recruit. We're recruiting at least half a million soldiers in the capital. But you? There are only three hundred thousand soldiers on your list. Let me ask you, the remaining two hundred thousand soldiers, what do we do? "
Hearing Ning Kewu's words, a man in a general's uniform said nervously, "Marshal Ningkwu, this time, because they know it's the most brutal war between humans and abundance, none of the citizens are willing to join the army. In addition, there were also many people borrowing money in the outside world. Even if it was at a high interest rate, the citizens would not hesitate to borrow money. So a lot of people used 100 federal coins to get rid of the order to recruit soldiers. "
"Damned bastards, if we can't complete the tasks set by the Alliance, we, Skanskrit, will be in big trouble. You, immediately issue a new order, saying that this is a decisive battle between humans and bugs. Every young man in our Scandinavian empire is going to join the army and abolish the so-called dog-shit order to exempt conscription with money. No matter what happens, we have to gather enough soldiers to send to the battlefield. "
"Also, we send ten thousand criminals every year to the Star of Exiles, but this year is going to end in three months. Why did we only send over two thousand criminals? "What's going on?" Ning Kewu said again.
"Marshal Ningkwu, all these years, ever since the Alliance ordered us to send all criminals to the Star of Exiles, we no longer have any more criminals in Scandal Empire. All we have to capture are a few thieves."
"There's no need to explain this to me. Let me tell you, it would be best if we could complete this within two months. Otherwise, we would all be fired from our posts." With that, he asked the others to leave his office.
After the other generals had left, Ningkwu slowly stood up and walked to the window. He then looked outside. The window of Ning Kewu's office was facing the slum where Bai Xianyong and the others lived. This was also what Ning Kewu had requested.
Looking at the people still bustling around with their lights on, Ning Kewu couldn't help but sigh. Ning knew that sending poor people to the battlefield or sending them to the Star of Exiles was basically sending them to their deaths. Although he felt guilty for sending hundreds of thousands of people to their deaths, he didn't change his decision at all.
He had been a general for more than 30 years and had long forgotten about the courage he had when he fought with the bug clan on the battlefield. In his eyes, the lives of soldiers and the poor were but numbers. If they were able to protect themselves with their own lives, then Ning felt that the sacrifices made by these people were very valuable.
At this time, the Long Xingzhao that Bai XianYong had just mentioned was also nervously making preparations. How about it? Is everything ready? " Long Xing Zhao said indifferently. It's all ready. The weapons were delivered yesterday. This time, when we let the others march, the city would be in chaos. When that happens, we'll be able to easily obtain what we want. " Another person said in excitement.
"Good, that Bai XianYong was foolish enough to think that I would march together with them. Let that fool, Bai XianYong, help us make a good profit at that damned rich man's house." Long Xingzhao said viciously. The others couldn't help but reveal excited smiles when they heard Long Xingzhao's words.
