Chapter 1455: The Old General in Trouble



Chapter 1455: The Old General in Trouble

As the leader started a rebellion in the south, the entire goblin civilization fell into chaos.

The five major chaebols and some of the smaller ones were all dumbfounded. They couldn't believe that their leader would actually rebel.

Because in their eyes, the leader can be said to be a mascot, and a mascot that cannot be more auspicious.

There is no threat at all to that station.

After learning of the situation, the five major chaebols mobilized troops from their sphere of influence to the capital without hesitation to suppress the uprising.

Although most of the troops were in the north fighting the Wehrmacht, the five major chaebols still had a number of private armies.

There were only about 3 troops guarding the capital.

Among them, 25000 people were bribed by the leader, while the other 5000 people saw that the situation was not right and decisively chose to surrender.

However, they did not surrender because they were not sure whether the leader would achieve the final victory.

It is still unknown whether the leader will achieve ultimate victory.

But the five major chaebols are already eager to get rid of their leader.

Although the uprising of the leaders had a certain impact on them, it was also a great opportunity.

If they can take this opportunity to get rid of the leader, then they can change the status quo and replace him with a more obedient leader.

To put it bluntly, the head is just a position, not a person.

As long as the chaebols are willing to take action, the leaders will have to give up their positions.

The leader certainly didn't want to sit and wait for death, so in addition to controlling 3 people in the capital, he also put the specially prepared army to use.

He had originally recruited 50 troops to send to the north to support the old general, but now he kept 10 of them and only sent 40 north.

He planned to use these 10 people to fight against the chaebols.

There are not many troops in the areas controlled by the chaebols now, with the five chaebols only having 5 troops in total.

And this was the most troops they could send.

This basically drained the military forces in their region. If the rebels caused trouble in the land controlled by the chaebols at this time, the chaebols would most likely not be able to stop them.

Some people suggested that the leader should leave more soldiers to fight against the chaebols.

But the leader rejected the proposal in front of everyone.

"The old general is a true pillar of the country. He will protect this country. 40 troops are a timely help to him. Staying here will only increase casualties!

We may fail, but I firmly believe that we are righteous. Maybe history will list us as traitors, but I believe that the National Defense Forces in the north will not regard us as traitors!

But the truth and our story need to be celebrated, so I propose that all young people in the city leave!"

The leader spoke.

The people of the entire capital were instantly in an uproar.

Some young and energetic people chose to join the army and gather there.

Although the tycoons will not give weapons to ordinary people, this is the capital after all.

Both the chaebols and the leaders have stockpiled large amounts of weapons and ammunition here.

This is to be prepared for any emergency.

But it is not the army that meets the needs of emergencies, but these ordinary people...

Following the leader's order, all the arsenals were opened.

Among the capital's population of over one million, more than 5 people have served in the military, so they have become an excellent source of soldiers.

The leader also sent his men to guide the people and let them know how to use weapons.

In just two or three days, the leader gathered an uprising army of 15 people in the capital.

Together with the troops originally under his control, the total number of troops reached 30.

They are now able to compete with the chaebol’s army in terms of numbers.

But the chaebol's army not only has an advantage in numbers, what is truly powerful is their combat effectiveness.

As a guardian of the chaebol's hometown.

Their fighting power is very strong and their weapons and equipment are the best.

It is also the chaebol’s last trump card.

The chaebols are not willing to give up everything they have, so they are naturally willing to fight to the end.

But they also want to see other chaebols collapse.

The leaders knew that they could not fight against the chaebol's army head-on, and their only chance was to take advantage of the discord among the chaebols.

On the surface, it seems that the five chaebols have gathered an army of 5, but in fact, these 30 troops are divided into five factions.

There will always be friction and prejudice between factions. This is their only chance!

The old general in the north was in a daze at this moment.

Because he received news that the southern leaders had started an uprising.

As a general, he certainly wanted to go back to suppress the rebellion, but he soon calmed down.

Because the leader did not order the supply of the front-line army to be cut off.

Although the five major chaebols control the country, their heads are the nominal commanders.

Moreover, most of the soldiers are more inclined towards the leader, and only the officers are more inclined towards the chaebol.

The old general calmed down after learning that the leader did not cut off the supply of the army on the front line.

He ordered his men to stay put and continue fighting the Wehrmacht in the north to the end.

The officers under his command had ulterior motives, and quite a number of them were from the chaebols, so of course they hoped that the old general would lead his troops south to eliminate the leader.

But the old general would not agree with them.

Now we have finally gathered the remaining soldiers and organized a second line of defense. If we lead the army south at this moment, it will only increase casualties.

And they will give up the original second line of defense.

The second line of defense was the one carefully selected by the old general.

It is more stable than the first line of defense because the front line is shortened by nearly 30%.

Although the first line of defense was lost, the goblin army did not suffer heavy losses.

Only about 10 people were lost.

So the second line of defense is far stronger than the first line of defense.

Moreover, the old general had foresight. Before the first line of defense was attacked, he recruited civilians to build a large number of fortifications on the second line of defense.

The first line of defense is a dynamic line of defense, while the second line of defense is a line of defense consisting of a dynamic line of defense + permanent fortifications.

As the battle line narrowed, the old general was able to keep more reserve troops.

If the Wehrmacht wants to take down the second line of defense, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

The old general used his prestige to suppress the officers under his command, and the officers had nothing to say.

But the chaebols don’t think so. They will only think that the old general is favoring the leader.

Six orders were issued in succession, ordering the old general to move south.

The old general accepted the task perfunctorily at first, saying that he would gather the troops and march south as soon as possible.

But later on, the old general became annoyed and started to turn against him.

He ignored the orders of the chaebol.

And he said it in a very murderous and heartbreaking way.

"If your orders can make this country better, I will certainly execute them without hesitation, but your orders are always just for your own benefit!"

(Good night??·??·??*?? ??)
