In the city, the mayor is sitting by the window drinking wine.

He is angry!

He thought he was really, really nice to the residents of the city, and he didn't treat them any differently from the Gafras.

When people here need help, he will help as much as possible!

For example, at the end of last year, when some local residents had a difficult life, he also took the initiative to take out a little money from the city hall's finances to help those in need.

It was like when there was a girl who was ready to give up on her because her family couldn't pay for the surgery, he sent the girl to Gafra for free surgery!

He has done so many good people and good deeds, why are these people... still so hateful?

At the far end of the city, there are still some unquenched fires. In the afternoon, the city had just experienced a riot.

Some locals damaged some traffic and communication routes and burned some buildings.

The entire city was in an incomprehensible mania that hurt the mayor.

He felt like he had been let down by this city...

The spirits from Gafra can dispel some of his troubles and worries. He doesn't know what His Excellency the Governor will think. It has nothing to do with his ability. He has tried his best!

The spirits entered his throat, and after the scorching heat dissipated, he exhaled heavily, and he picked up a cigarette.

The moment he bowed his head and lit the cigarette, the spark ripped apart the darkness, and then the kerosene-soaked match was lit.

The mayor was stunned for a moment, then looked up slowly, the sky in the distance was suddenly lit up by a burst of fire, as if something had exploded.

He looked down at the lighter in his hand, and had some doubts in his heart——

This is what I did?

Sometimes you can't have a fight with someone who's been drinking too much and his hands are shaking and the lighter falls to the ground.

The mirror surface of the gemstone shattered into several pieces, some of which even flew out.

A lighter with historical value, collectible value and wealth value has lost tens of thousands of dollars in value just in such a trembling.

The sound of the explosion in the distance really came at this time, and then the window of the room vibrated under the impact of some shock waves!

The mayor's eyes gradually converged, and he suddenly thought of something!

He stood up and looked into the distance, the drunkenness in his eyes had gone to the wine, and he was also scared out of cold sweat.

If he remembered correctly, that place was... an arsenal!

He grabbed the phone and wanted to contact someone, but there was no sound on the phone. It was only at this moment that he remembered that the telegraph office had been smashed during today's riot.

Those machines are even burned, and the phone can't get through during the day!

When he got up, the door was pushed open, and the housekeeper rushed in with a shocked expression!

"Master, the Pengjiao people are calling!"

The mayor stumbled back down again, the knocked over wine glass fell to the ground, and the drink spilled on his crotch, but he didn't seem to have any feeling about it!

Time froze at this moment, and his expression became distorted in the process of slow time pushing, gradually becoming hideous and perverted!

The next second, he slapped the table hard, "Go and find the Federals!"

Perhaps in his heart, the only people who can fight against the Pengios are the Federals, and even those with vested interests like him have no confidence in Gafra's army. Treat the state of the ground war!

From the first time the arsenal was bombed, all the expats from Blackstone Security had already climbed up.

The bombed arsenal was the Gafra people's own arsenal. The commander-in-chief of Blackstone Security said that the arsenal was very dangerous.

He had proposed to store the arms in the arsenal in a decentralized manner, and now the whole city knows that there is an arsenal, which means that the Pengios know it, and the invaders know it.

This statement is actually very reasonable, but the mayor did not agree in the end, because after all, they are "foreigners".

No matter how correct the federals are, it is difficult for the mayor to make a decision immediately according to the requirements of the other party, which is actually a political position and attitude.

If he is too aggressive in his proposals to the Commonwealth, there is a good chance someone will think he has fallen to the Commonwealth, or has some special intentions.

The environment inside Gavra... is not as simple as outsiders imagine.

It has only been more than a year since the Prime Minister suppressed the nobles. In this more than one year, many noble names have completely disappeared from the empire.

Even if some nobles fled to Amelia, it is difficult to escape the final result!

Sometimes when political purges are for the sake of purges, people start to worry about whether their actions will also be framed by others, making themselves passive and becoming the part that needs to be purged!

The mayor's idea is to wait a few days, and then someone from the City Hall side will make such a proposal, and then he will implement it.

This not only satisfies the requirements and suggestions of the Federals, but also does not appear that he has no opinion, and it will not make him closer to the Federals in the eyes of others.

On this island and the Governor, they will not consider whether he has been infiltrated by the Federals!

Regardless of the good relationship between Gefra and the Federation, the nobles all know that there is always an invisible crack between these two countries.

And this crack will become bigger and bigger as the Federation gets stronger and stronger!

But after so many days of delay...it's too late!

The army of the Pongio Empire has begun to advance into the city, and their first goal to solve is the arsenal, and then some local movement organizations have occupied some confidential locations.

Like the power supply station, the water station, etc., the rest of their work is to clean up all the Gefra and the federal people with the cooperation of the local people.

This is exciting for every Pengio soldier!

This is the military industry, and those people will be their steps to glory!

The federation's response was also very quick. The only good news among all the bad news was that the munitions brought by the federations were not stacked in the local arsenal, but were stored separately.

And now their battles revolve around street battles and city battles. Even if the other party has a larger number of people, they can't fight well in such a place.

You must know that there are at least hundreds of thousands of ordinary civilians in the city. From the beginning, the commander-in-chief of Blackstone Security had planned to "kidnap" these civilians!

Street fighting with the invaders was their plan.

As long as the invaders can't let go of their hands and feet, they are doomed to be unable to conquer the city!

It must be known that the blackstone security suffered heavy damage in the street battle when advancing in Mariro, and they also felt that in the fierce war, only street battles could confuse and blur the gap between the strengths of the two sides to the greatest extent.

Not to mention, there are so many civilians, they will definitely have concerns!

The entire battlefield revolves around the city center and the northwest. Once the city center could not be held, they were able to withdraw from the city circle through the northwest channel.

While fighting in the field against a prepared Pengio army might not be a brilliant decision, at least the whole plan makes sense.

Ten minutes later, the exchange of fire began.

And from the first moment of the exchange of fire, the field staff of Blackstone Security realized that they were in trouble!

When an ordinary local resident couldn't hold back the curiosity and opened the curtain and was shot in the head, the snipers in the next room realized that these people didn't care whether they hit the locals, the Federation, or the It's Gafra.

There was no pre-war propaganda. For example, as the Federals did in Mariro, they asked unrelated people to leave the city first, and those who did not leave the city would be regarded as the enemy by default when the war broke out.

They didn't do that, it was a night attack, and they didn't care about the civilians, the important thing for them was that they could put the flag of the Pontgio Empire on the top of the city hall building, and then go down One Goal Leap!

There was a crackling of gunfire everywhere, and the occasional flare shot into the sky, and soon plunged back into darkness with the roar of tank fire hidden in the streets.

There were gunshots everywhere, Pongio's armored vehicles didn't stay in one place for too long, they were always moving back and forth, and then randomly strafing buildings that might be hiding the Federals or the Gevra.

The power of the cannon at this time is amazing, even if it is two walls, it may not be able to reduce its terrible lethality!

As time passed, the defense circle became smaller and smaller, and gradually it could only ensure that the city center and the city hall were not lost.

But losing is not an impossible question, it is a question of when!

"We have to consider retreating." When Blackstone Security's commander found the mayor, he said something that the mayor did not want to hear.

Looking at the silent mayor, he added, "Before 5:30, we will consider evacuating. If you have any more important materials and documents, you can take them and have them put them in the car."

"If you can't take it with you~lightnovelpub.net~ let's burn it on the spot..."

The commander was actually very speechless. They came too hastily. The Strategic Command of the Federal Ministry of Defense believes that a full-scale war will break out in the second half of the year, around July or August or August and September, or even after the autumn harvest.

At that time, the new grains of various countries have been received, and there will be no problems in the supply of war.

But who would have thought that they would launch this invasion war half a year earlier than the Federalists thought?

Many fortifications have not been erected, and many deployments have not been fully deployed.

From preparation, to assembly, to transportation, to arrival, and then to the long land transportation to finally arrive here, they actually only had about a week.

It was too hasty, coupled with the bombing of the local arsenal, many heavy weapons were not available, and evacuation became the only option.

But in less than ten minutes after the commander explained these things, the offensive of the Pengios suddenly stopped...
