Chapter 1775 Great Changes in Various Places
Chapter 1775 Great Changes in Various Places
The people of the Papal States never imagined that they could live such a comfortable life.
The Great Yan government did not oppress them.
Moreover, officials from all sides treated ordinary people very well.
The Great Yan did not target them because they had once been citizens of the Papal States.
Like ordinary citizens, these people in the Papal States also enjoy the benefits they are entitled to.
However, compared to the locals, they are still lacking.
After all, the local people made great contributions in the early days of the nation's founding.
Their benefits and treatment are naturally better than others.
Initially, the National Army stationed 10 troops in the Papal States.
However, it was later discovered that the entire Papal States were extremely unruly.
The National Defense Forces have repeatedly reduced their troop numbers, from the original 10 to the current number.
Only one infantry brigade was left as a symbolic gesture, stationed in the Papal States.
The people of the Papal States initially tried to appease these defense soldiers, but they later discovered that these defense soldiers were completely different from the Papal Army of the past.
The Papacy's army never treated ordinary people as human beings; every time they passed through a village, they would levy grain from the people.
The Papacy's army may not be short of food, but they will still requisition food from the people.
Because in their eyes, their expeditions are naturally for the sake of the people, and what's wrong with the people showing them some respect?
However, after the National Defense Army arrived, they did not collect any grain.
He never took a single penny from the people, and even took the initiative to distribute things to the people.
Especially the children in the Papal States.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the defense forces' convoy.
Because whenever the defense forces' convoy spotted a child, they would give the child some candy and chocolate.
These candies and chocolates are considered hard currency in the Papal States today.
Although the Papal States are developing steadily, they still lack many necessities for their people.
Basically, coordination with various regions is required.
Lyon has always treated all regions equally.
However, some people with ulterior motives are stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
For example, some people like to promote the idea that neighboring countries are useless in their own country.
"Why should we use our money to support these neighboring countries? Isn't our money money too?"
"Wouldn't we be better off if we didn't give them the money?"
Lyon wished he could send his intelligence agency to arrest and execute all these people who held such views about the neighboring country being useless.
This kind of person is the same group of people who were involved when the Red Hair regime disbanded.
They always say that the Mao people, as the biggest contributors, did not enjoy what they deserved.
Thanks to the propaganda of this group, some locals have come to believe this claim.
But what they didn't know was...
Without the cheap fruit from the Elf Empire, the local people have to spend more money to buy fruit.
Without the black soil of the Demon Empire, would the local people be able to buy cheap flour?
Every region has its own unique products.
If you expect to grow sugarcane in the north and sugar beets in the south.
You're a true genius!
Oranges grown south of the Huai River are sweet oranges, while those grown in the north are bitter oranges.
Here is an example.
A strong nation should coordinate all its resources.
Because Leon wanted to know the specifics of the Papal States, and because the Demon Empire had recently made headlines.
Therefore, the National Defense Forces could only send out a convoy for one armed patrol.
Also, check the situation in each village and town.
Armed patrols have always been something that soldiers of the National Defense Forces greatly aspire to.
Because with each armed patrol, they are able to witness the scenery along the way.
Every day at the base is just training; life is incredibly boring.
Moreover, the IDF infantry are renowned for their exceptional training skills.
Armored troops and paratroopers like the Guards are selected from the elite.
The IDF infantry specifically targeted soldiers who looked thin and weak.
There's nothing they can do; they just love playing simulation games.
That's right, the kind that drags you over and trains you to death, it's mainly a training game.
You know, this whole thing is a mess...
So when they found out they could go out, they all went crazy instantly.
Everyone was ecstatic.
At the same time, he filled all the empty spaces in his backpack with food.
There's nothing they can do; every time they go out, it's like receiving charity.
The armed forces did not object to this act of charity, and they were very happy to help others.
These candies and chocolates would have gone bad even if they hadn't eaten them.
It would be better to distribute them to the children of the Papal States.
Just as all parties were celebrating in the Orc Empire, more than a dozen patrol teams of the National Defense Forces appeared on the highways of the Papal States.
Since it was an armed patrol, the National Defense Forces did not use tanks.
The main problem is that this infantry brigade doesn't have many tanks.
Most of them are infantry fighting vehicles.
Apart from BMP and BTR, there are only a small number of 08 and 10.
Compared to other friendly units, they were dirt poor.
However, for the common people of the Papal States, they were already considered a very powerful army.
All of the Papal States' tanks and armored vehicles were taken back to their homeland for rework.
Only a small number were bought by wealthy locals in the Papal States and subsequently converted into civilian vehicles.
The reason the armed forces are doing this is mainly because these wealthy individuals are giving them far too much.
The price offered by the tycoon is enough to rebuild three more cars.
You've made such a fuss! It's just a car, right? Of course I'd sell it to you!
The reason is that these wealthy people miss the once-powerful Papal States.
But while they may miss it, they have no desire to return to the Papal States of the past.
As merchants in the Papal States, they were consistently belittled by the Church.
Their lives only gradually improved after the National Defense Army arrived.
Moreover, the surviving merchants were mostly honest businessmen.
Those lackeys of the Vatican, and those who were simply dim-witted, were basically all wiped out by the National Defense Army.
The National Defense Force didn't care about all that; all they knew was that some people could just be killed...
A convoy of the National Defense Forces arrived at a dilapidated village, following the markings on the map.
The map shows that the village is very dilapidated, and when the National Defense Army came last time, the people in the village were so poor that they could hardly afford to eat.
This was mainly because the village was located in the heart of the battlefield at the time.
The National Army and the Papal States Army fought a major battle around the village.
As expected, the village was destroyed in the war.
During their last patrol, the National Defense Forces took note of this impoverished village and made a special note of it to their superiors.
However, since the map had not been updated, this military unit might still think that the village was still so poor.
So this village was designated as the first target for patrol, but when the National Defense Force arrived at the village, they were dumbfounded.
Because the village is no longer as dilapidated as before, in just one year, the village has transformed from ruins to a vibrant place.
This change left the National Defense Force completely bewildered.
Dude, is this the same village they saw before?
How did it become like this?
