Chapter 501: Asking Information from the Captives of the Bottom Soldiers
The Tianyi mercenary group invaded the entire army line of Marco Polo Fortress and released the news that their commander had died in battle.
This caused Dion's entire army in Marco Polo Fortress to fall into greater panic.
Many of the supreme soldiers of the Dion Empire would rather die in battle than surrender.
On the contrary, those soldiers at the bottom (mainly from slave status) did not have the idea of supremacy of the Dion Empire. They just wanted to survive and were unwilling to obey the orders of superiors to fight to the death.
In order to make these lower-level soldiers submit, superiors directly shot these lower-level soldiers who disobeyed orders.
Although it made some low-level soldiers submit, it caused resistance from more low-level soldiers.
Civil strife broke out in the Marco Polo Fortress and on the battleships.
Thors piloted Penelope Gundam and launched floating missiles to shoot down many enemy aircraft. Its total height of 26 meters attracted the attention of surrounding pilots.
Both the enemy and ourselves felt how huge this Gundam was.
Penelope Gundam was recently developed and manufactured last month, and Long Fei was handed over to Thors to pilot.
Thors led the Dire Hound Team to suppress the attack around Marco Polo Fortress.
Although Penelope Gundam looks huge, it has excellent maneuverability, moves quickly, and dodges countless attacks, even if a beam of light hits Penelope Gundam.
Gundam Penelope's flying armor component FF (Fixed Fight) can also block beam attacks with the barrier formed by Minov particles.
At this time, some battleships of the Dion Army raised white flags to indicate surrender. If Ms. and the pilot of the mobile fortress saw their mothership raising the white flag, they would stop fighting and abandon their weapons.
About an hour later, the Dion Army warships outside the fortress surrendered one after another.
When the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the United Army invaded the Marco Polo Fortress, the suppression force found that many members of the Dion Army were beating their own people.
This made all the suppression troops very confused, especially the Tianyi Mercenary Group. They were even more confused. This was the first time they had encountered such a situation in so many suppression battles.
Some Dion soldiers found that they did not launch any attacks when suppressing the troops. Instead, they surrendered directly and knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands.
Major General Isis looked at the on-site filming of the suppression force and asked Salamanda: "Lieutenant Colonel, what is going on? Can you see the clues inside?"
"I estimate that most of these surrendered soldiers are low-class civilians or slaves, especially those slaves. The ones who are the least loyal to the Dion Empire are the slaves. The resistance army back then could fight for so many years, mainly because
It’s also relying on these lowly slaves to cooperate inside and outside.”
"Then do you think there are any new humans or adjusters among these surrendered soldiers?"
"There should be some, but it is estimated that there are very few. After all, the new humans and adjusters have very high status in that empire, which leads to them always having a superior mentality in their hearts, making them look down on people they look down on.
If we always surrender, it will be a great shame and humiliation for them, and it will be more uncomfortable than killing them. Rather than doing this, it is better to die in battle."
The attack and defense of Marco Polo Fortress ended in about 12 hours.
Then about two hours later, Isis received news that the nameless fortress had also been defeated.
The biggest threat in Colonial Area No. 2 has been eliminated, and the remaining Dion Army in the area has become useless.
After the two fortresses were taken down, the confidential information obtained allowed the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the United Army to grasp the location of the remaining Dion Army.
It's up to the Allied Forces to clear out the remaining rats.
Isis and her group repaired the Marco Polo Fortress for a few days and then left, ignoring the protests of the United Army and taking away the Wall of Zeus device.
The battleships of the Dion Army, Ms. and other Tianyi mercenary groups did not take away much, and most of them were given to the United Army for study.
The Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Dion Army have fought so many times. After the Tianyi Mercenary Group is done cleaning up, they will take away the remains.
Part of the wreckage was handed over to the decomposition and reduction metal furnaces of each base for processing, and the other part was handed over to the decomposition and reduction subsidiary of Tianyi Group.
As for the prisoners, some will be handled by the Tianyi mercenary group, and the other will be handed over to the United Army for arrangement.
In a Rebel battleship, Salamanda, Li Xiucheng, and Aissi were interrogating the prisoners.
The prisoners who were questioned were not senior officers, but lower-level soldiers.
The prisoner in front of Salamanda Bai spoke some codes and gestures.
The prisoner's eyes lit up and he immediately responded to the next sentence and gesture of the code.
Salamanda asked the prisoner: "What is your name?"
"My name is Brooks."
"Are there any changes to the current underlying military structure?"
"Children born from lower-class and middle-class civilians join the army. Most slaves like us belong to the lower-level soldiers. The same thing is that as long as they have military merit, it is easier for them to be promoted."
Li Xiucheng asked: "What if the children born of upper-class citizens and special-class citizens join the army, and what if the children of nobles join the army? How are they treated?"
Brooks replied: "Let's put it this way, no matter how good a slave's performance is during training, among the formal military ranks, he can only get the rank of private, middle and lower civilians, at least third class, and some with outstanding achievements
They can also get the rank of corporal, upper class, special class civilian. Although they receive physical training similar to ours, they also have special training. Generally speaking, when they graduate, they will at least be corporals. Those with excellent grades will directly become second lieutenants.
The children of nobles are almost the same as the children of special civilians who join the army."
Isis asked: "Did soldiers who were born slaves ever get ahead?"
"Obviously, it is said that slaves who have made great military achievements will not only be promoted, but their status as slaves will also be abolished and they will be classified as lower-class or middle-class citizens. However, in fact, no matter how much achievements a slave makes, they will be taken away by others."
Li Xiucheng said: "According to what you said, then the lower-level soldiers among you, especially the slaves, are being oppressed very miserably."
"Yes, so among the low-level skills, especially those who were born as slaves, there is a desire to overthrow the empire in their hearts. Unfortunately, the resistance forces at that time failed and escaped from Mars. Many of the slaves who participated back then were killed.
The elimination, of course, also includes many of our lower-level soldiers."
Isis asked: "So your soldiers at the bottom no longer have any resistance?"
"No, everyone is actually waiting for the opportunity."
Salamanda asked: "I guess the previous secret communications and some secret codes have been figured out by the Dion Army."
"Yes, we also made some new codes and some new gestures, as well as some secret communication channels, so there are many secret communication channels, I only got one, and I don't know if the Dion Army has already
master."
Salamanda said: "It doesn't matter, can you give it to us?"
Brooks thought that the Tianyi Mercenary Group and the Dion Empire were currently hostile, and decided to hand over one of the secret communication channels he had to the other party.
Salamanda asked: "At present, the secret resistance organizations coming from the bottom have been integrated, or are they still as scattered as before?"
"Although some have been integrated, most are still operating independently."
Then, Salamanda and his team questioned the low-level military prisoners, hoping to extract some information from them. For example, in addition to the secret resistance group of the low-level soldiers, there were also some external anti-Dion Empire organizations, and they also obtained several secret communication channels.
.
What Salamanda didn't expect was that many organizations were in disarray as they were before he left.
