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

He is very angry!

He thought he was really good to the residents of this city, and he didn't treat them differently from the Gefla people.

When people here need help, he will also lend a helping hand as much as possible!

For example, at the end of last year, some local residents had a difficult life, and he also took the initiative to take some money from the city hall's finances to relieve these people in need.

For example, there was a girl who was about to give up on her because the family couldn't pay for the operation, but he was the one who sent the girl to Gefra for free surgery!

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

There were still some unextinguished fires at the far end of the city. In the afternoon, the city had just experienced a riot.

Some locals destroyed some transportation and communication routes and burned some buildings.

The entire city is thrown into an incomprehensible mania, which hurts the mayor.

He felt let down by the city….

The spirits from Gefra can wash away some of his troubles and sorrows. He doesn't know what the governor will think. This has nothing to do with his ability. He has tried his best!

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

The moment I lowered my head to light a cigarette, sparks tore through the darkness, and then the matchstick soaked in kerosene was ignited.

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

He glanced down at the lighter in his hand, and he also had some doubts in his heart.

I did this?

Sometimes you can't be serious with a person who has drunk too much, his hand trembles, and the lighter falls to the ground.

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

A lighter with historical value, collection value and wealth value lost tens of thousands of dollars in just such a shudder.

The sound of the explosion in the distance really came at this time, and then the windows 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, and he was also covered in cold sweat from the fright.

If he remembered correctly, that place was... the Arsenal!

He grabbed the phone and wanted to contact someone, but there was no sound on the phone. Only then did he remember that the telegraph office was smashed during today's riots.

Those machines were even burned, and the phone calls could no longer be reached during the day!

When he got up, the door was pushed open, and the butler rushed in with a surprised face!

"Master, the Peng Jieao people are calling!"

The mayor lost his composure and sat down again. The overturned wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine spilled on his crotch, but he didn't seem to feel anything about it!

Time froze at this moment, and his expression began to distort in the slow progress of time, gradually becoming ferocious and abnormal!

The next second, he slapped the table vigorously, "Go to the Federals!"

Perhaps in his mind, the only people who can fight against the Penteo people are the federal people. Even a vested interest like him does not have confidence in Gafla's army. It is conceivable that the entire Amelia region and even the island are The state of affairs when dealing with ground warfare!

From the moment the arsenal was bombed, all expatriates who had secured Blackstone had already climbed up.

The arsenal that was blown up was the Gefra people's own arsenal. The commander-in-chief of Blackstone Security said as soon as he came that the arsenal was very dangerous.

He had proposed that the ammunition in the arsenal should be stored in a decentralized manner, and now the whole city knew that it was an arsenal, which meant that the Penteos knew it, and the invaders knew it.

This statement is actually very reasonable, but the mayor finally refused to agree, because they are "foreigners" after all.

No matter how correct the federal people say, it is difficult for the mayor to immediately make a decision in accordance with the other party's request. This is actually a political position and attitude.

If he was too aggressive in his overtures to the Federals, there was a good chance someone would think he had gone to the Federals, or had some special intentions.

The environment inside Gefla...is not as simple as outsiders imagined.

It has been more than a year since the prime minister suppressed the nobles. During this year, many noble names have completely disappeared from the empire.

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

Sometimes when political purges are purged for the sake of purges, people will 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 will make such a proposal, and then he will implement it.

This not only satisfies the requirements and suggestions of the Federation people, but also does not make him appear to be uninitiated, nor does it make him get closer to the Federation people in the eyes of others.

The island and the governor will not consider whether he has been infiltrated by the federal people!

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

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

But just such a few days of delay...it's already too late!

The troops of the Penteio Empire have begun to advance into the city, and their first target is the arsenal, and some local movement organizations have already occupied some confidential locations.

Like power stations, water stations, etc., their remaining job is to clean up all Gefra and federal people with the cooperation of local people.

This is exciting for every Penteo 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 ammunition brought by the Federation was not stored in the local arsenal, but stored separately.

And now their battles revolve around street fighting and city fighting. Even if the opponent has more people, they can't launch a good offensive in such a place.

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

Street fighting with the invaders was their plan.

As long as the invaders can't let go, they are destined to be unable to conquer the city!

We must know that Blackstone Security suffered heavy damage in the street fighting when advancing in Mariro, and they also felt that in the fierce war, only street fighting can 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 cannot be defended, they will be able to evacuate from the city circle through the northwest passage.

While it might not have been a brilliant decision to fight a prepared Penteo army in the wild, at least the whole plan made 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 bear 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 were shooting locals, federal people, or It's from Gefra.

There was no pre-war propaganda, such as what the Federals did in Mariro, requiring unrelated people to leave the city first, and those who did not leave the city would be regarded as enemies by default after the war broke out.

They didn't do that, it was a night raid, and they didn't care if the civilians were civilians or not, what was important to them was that they could plant the flag of the Penteio Empire on the highest point of the city hall building, and then down A goal leap forward!

There was crackling gunfire everywhere, and occasionally some flares rose into the sky, accompanied by the roar of tank fire hidden in the street, and soon fell into darkness again.

There was gunfire everywhere, and Penteo's armored vehicles didn't stay in one place for long at all. They were always moving back and forth, and then randomly strafed buildings that might hide Federals or Gefras.

The machine gun is so powerful at this time, even two walls may not be able to reduce its terrible lethality!

Time passed bit by bit, and the defensive circle became smaller and smaller, gradually only ensuring that the city center and the city hall were not lost.

But losing is no longer a question of possibility and impossibility, but a question of when!

"We have to consider retreating." When the commander of Blackstone Security found the mayor, he said the words that the mayor didn't want to hear.

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

"If you can't take it away~lightnovelpub.net~ just burn it on the spot..."

The commanders are 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, August or August or September, or even after the autumn harvest.

At that time, new grains from various countries were harvested, so there would be no problem with supplies for the war.

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

Many fortifications were not erected, and many deployments were not fully deployed.

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

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

But less than ten minutes after the commander explained these things, the Peng Jieao people's offensive stopped suddenly...
