Chapter 1710 Nanxun Chaos
Chapter 1710 Nanxun Chaos
Fleschheim, with a regiment of guards, intended to eliminate the garrison of Nanxun City as quickly as possible.
The problem was that they didn't encounter any of the garrison troops of Nanxun City; the auxiliary defense troops of Nanxun City had already fled.
They were fighting against the Nanxun City security forces.
Those security forces are no longer public servants.
Under Mayor Baroquely's corrupt influence, the security forces soldiers had their hands stained with blood.
Perhaps some of them were not directly involved in the oppression of ordinary people.
However, exploitation and oppression have always existed.
Some might say that this caviar won't affect ordinary people at all.
But is this really the case?
The government could have used more money for infrastructure and to increase welfare for the people.
Since it is now unified.
Aside from research and development expenses, the government's non-civilian expenditures consist only of funds used for maintaining government operations and the military.
Moreover, the bulk of the military budget is taken up by the Space Force.
As for the remaining money, apart from a portion being stored to cope with natural disasters, the rest was basically used for the benefit of ordinary people.
Conservative estimates suggest that the caviar case involves more than 5000 million gold coins.
This amount of money is equivalent to five years' worth of expenditures for the National Defense Forces and the Army.
And the Space Force's expenses for a little over a year.
Keep in mind that the Space Force, which can fight the vanguard of the gods to a draw, only consumes a little over 4000 million gold coins a year.
Furthermore, the Space Force deployed less than half of its forces.
Because at least thirty or forty more warships are under construction.
This is truly a huge success.
Baroqueli is a case of eating too many red beans.
Furthermore, Baroquely's most reckless act was turning Nanxun City into his own kingdom.
Lyon is unwilling to change its mayor because years of war have left the local people feeling insecure. That's why they want to keep some talented people in office to ensure that public sentiment doesn't waver.
As a leader, Lyon couldn't personally visit every region, so the mayor became the local representative.
Moreover, at the beginning of the war, Lyon did not have the energy to carefully screen every official.
Whoever has the ability and is of good character should be promoted.
As for whether this person is a good person or not, or whether he is faking it, only time will tell.
However, the intelligence agency made a mistake.
Logically speaking, the intelligence agency should be monitoring these people.
But the result was Baroquely. The first thing he did upon arriving in Nanxun City was to find a way to borrow money to bribe the intelligence agency.
Yes, Baroquely was a poor boy.
Lyon chose him because he was capable.
At the beginning of the founding of the nation, there were basically not many capable people, and Lyon was surrounded by a group of generals.
Lyon cannot govern the country with these generals.
That's why they appoint ordinary people without being bound by convention.
Baroqueley was just one of those ordinary people.
Born into poverty, but with a strong desire to improve himself.
That's why Lyon chose to make Baroquely the mayor of Nanxun.
Balotelli certainly lived up to expectations.
Within just two years of taking office, he directly led to a sharp rise in the economy of Nanxun City.
A significant number of people believe that Baroqueley will be able to enter the cabinet in the future.
But the reality is that Baroquely himself ruined his own future.
Facing the city of Nanxun, which is laying golden eggs.
Baroqueley eventually set his sights on this incredibly prosperous city.
In his eyes, this city was a golden egg, and he could obtain as much money as many people could never earn in a lifetime with just a slight effort.
At first, Baroquely was indeed a good official for the people, and he planned everything for the benefit of the people of Nanxun. However, as he began to extend his reach into Nanxun, his conscience was gradually extinguished.
Nanxun City is so large that many people can have enough to eat, but the existence of Baroqueli makes the people of Nanxun City suffer greatly.
In the first few years, Baroquely did practical things for the people, but in the following years, he gradually became the enemy of the people.
The entire Nanxun city government leadership began pursuing their own extravagant lifestyles and stopped paying much attention to the common people.
Because in their eyes, ordinary people are merely their tools.
They wish they could squeeze every last drop of blood from the people.
Cook's restaurant is just one example.
To be precise, it was just one of countless tragedies in Nanxun City.
Many others, like Cook, have experienced injustice, but they have no way to voice their grievances.
Some of them planned to go to Lyongrad to file a complaint.
However, this group was captured before they even left Nanxun City. Even after leaving Nanxun City, they were eventually caught by the intelligence agency because the intelligence agency in Nanxun City was completely corrupt.
They were monitoring everyone in Nanxun City.
Everyone was under their surveillance.
Anyone who tries to report to Lyon will be arrested immediately.
At best, it could lead to the destruction of families and death; at worst, it could result in murder to silence witnesses.
The entire city of Nanxun was completely under the control of Baroquely and his associates.
Only a few villages around the Inland Fleet base were spared from the devastation.
However, these villages, being close to the Inland Sea Fleet base, could completely support themselves by serving the Inland Sea Fleet.
The Inland Sea Fleet is not completely independent; it still requires a large number of logistics personnel.
For example, you need fresh vegetables.
Naval soldiers cannot grow vegetables at sea, so they can only resupply at ports.
Initially, the Inland Fleet's base was located in Nanxun Port.
Later, with the multiple expansions of Nanxun Port and the increase in throughput, the Inner Sea Fleet base was moved out of the port.
Under Hans's instructions, the intelligence agency immediately launched a fierce attack on the Baroquelie Group.
A large number of intelligence agents stormed into Baroquely's mansion.
The entire elite of Nanxun City was wiped out.
Even Baroquely's own residence was attacked by the intelligence agency's military police.
However, Baroquely had already had this idea long ago.
Because he was worried that Li Yang would find out about him one day, he made preparations early on.
I had long been prepared to tear Lyon apart.
The city defense forces and security troops were merely his outward trump cards.
In fact, Baroqueley had 1800 secret elites.
These 1800 people were constantly placed by Baroquely in various locations throughout Nanxun City.
They were essentially Baroqueley's own intelligence agency.
Secretly gather all the intelligence about Nanxun City for Baroquely.
They were intelligence personnel, but they also had a considerable amount of weaponry and equipment.
Most importantly, Nanxun City has a national defense infantry regiment stationed there.
This infantry regiment was located in the southeastern coastal area of Nanxun City.
This infantry regiment had not received any orders.
Their soldiers were still asleep, and many of them had no idea that Nanxun City had been corrupted.
But their leader had already been bribed by Baroquely.
Upon learning that Nanxun City had been swiftly attacked by the Imperial Guard, the commander was immediately ordered by Baroqueley to raise troops to rescue Nanxun City.
However, the commander encountered a problem when he wanted to mobilize his men.
Because he found that he couldn't get his subordinates to listen to him.
It's not that he couldn't command his subordinates, but rather that his subordinates simply couldn't obey him to rescue Baroqueley.
The Wehrmacht was not one to back down easily. The regimental commander was in a dilemma, but Baroquely's orders forced him to find a way to urge his men on.
So it turns out that Baroque money isn't so easy to get.
(Good night)
