Chapter 1274 Fist insists that everything is easy to use
Rongkang was scheming everywhere. The soldiers below didn't understand what was going on, but they followed the governor's order and did not allow border merchants to trade there. Instead, they built a mutual market near the border.
This period of time is pretty good. Although it can only receive more than two thousand silver coins in tax every day, it also represents a good start. People from Baicheng are also coming in an endless stream. After all, the Daqian Empire has rich products. If If they don't trade with the merchants of the Daqian Empire, then they have to trade with foreigners, and the prices charged by foreigners will be higher.
This is the difference between a big country and a small country. Because of its small land area, a small country cannot produce too many products, so they must trade with a big country. On the other hand, this big country is different. It can completely trade with a big country. These goods are shipped from other places in the country. Although the price is a little higher, when it comes to sensitive topics such as tax revenue, even if the price is a little higher, under the pressure of administrative orders, ordinary people can accept it. What's more, the blockade of the Suppression Army was very powerful.
Now we don't need to do such things that go against public opinion. When we get Baicheng back, Baicheng's trading market will prosper again. Of course, the difference from before is that it is the Gallic Empire that collects taxes here. The army that collects taxes now is the Suppression Army. Since we provide most of the trade goods here, why are we not the ones collecting taxes?
When the troops arrived in front of Baicheng, everyone sighed. The Daqian Empire spent five million silver coins to build such a huge city here. Unfortunately, it later became someone else's. Gao The people of the Lu Empire are reaping the benefits here, and our expenses have not been recouped at all.
"You all have a clear look at this place. What you are going to do today is to change history. It turns out that we, the weaker Gallic Empire, took this place away. Today, we are going to take this place back with the help of the steel guns in your hands." , all of you will be written in the history textbooks, and what you do today, future generations will thank you in the future, all of you enter the battle."
The special operations brigade is different from other armies. Their communication equipment is relatively advanced, and they have a lot of communication equipment. They can now be distributed to squad-level units, because their combat goals may change at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure smooth communication. Other troops can only reach platoon-level units, and even some armies in remote areas can only reach company-level units. They have surpassed other armies in this regard. .
Listening to the brigade commander's magnetic voice, the brothers under his command were also excited. In the past, they always wanted to come out to beat foreigners, teach them a lesson, and let them know how powerful we are. Now we finally have a chance. In the past, we The country is relatively weak. You don’t know how much blood you have drawn from us. Now we finally let you return it. Although we have not declared war with the Gallic Empire, we have taken back our own land. When the time comes, you, the Gallic Empire, will I can't say anything. To put it bluntly, this is a diplomatic dispute between us and Annan Kingdom and has nothing to do with you people.
The people in the foreign affairs department were also ready, waiting for people from the Gallic Empire to come to protest. The major newspapers in the Gallic Empire were all recognizing Annan as an independent country. This was also to show that they were not a colonial state.
Empire, if you say so, then our war with Annan Kingdom has nothing to do with you. The Suppression Army is like a giant beast. When it expands to a certain extent, it cannot always stay in its own territory.
Stay here, these territories around you are like fat. Is it possible that you want the Suppression Army to close their eyes and not watch?
Of course, this is also a test by Gao Shaoyi. He also knows the true relationship between various countries and himself. If various countries really implement the appeasement policy, then this will be the beginning of expansion. But if various countries resist more fiercely, the worst is possible.
We just need to withdraw our troops. We don't necessarily have to occupy this place anyway. This also means that our wings are not strong enough now.
We can just wait until our wings are strong in the future to reoccupy this place. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Anyway, there is no loss for us. At the worst, we can just let the army wander outside the border. Anyway, it will not cause anything serious.
As a result, your armies are all facing each other on the western continent, and you don't have the time to withdraw.
Under the cover of night, the enemies in Baicheng did not notice the special operations brigade coming from outside the city. When it got dark, the city gates began to close, and they did not patrol outside the city. Decades of peace were over.
Well, the Daqian Empire is very weak and will not send anyone over to provoke. According to Wang Yinghao's opinion, there should be various disputes near the border. It's a pity that he has been here for so long, and the two sides can be said to coexist peacefully.
The army in Baicheng thought the same way. No one has been looking for trouble for decades, so why send people out of the city to patrol? What's more, patrolling out of the city also costs money. There is no need to spend money on this aspect. It is better to save it for everyone.
To improve their lives, including the current forts on the city wall, they have not fired a single cannonball in ten years, and their annual training funds have been embezzled by them.
From the army of the Gallic Empire to the army of Annan, no one, whether they were officers or soldiers, thought that there would be a war here, so at night, they would try to find ways to make their lives more comfortable. As for the security situation in the city,
If they don't even care about the management, how can they collect money if there is no chaos? Only when there is chaos is their opportunity to make money.
As for the safety situation outside the city, they have never even thought about it. The people living outside are a group of untouchables. In their eyes, they are almost like ants. If they die, they don't need to take care of them. They can just find someone to bury them.
The army of the Daqian Empire on the opposite side was not even in their consideration. Nothing had happened for so many years. Could it be possible that something would happen tonight? So they closed the city gate according to their original practice, and the guards on the city wall also
There are only a few people left. These guys are facing the cold wind and are no longer willing to stand and watch. When the officers go down, they will not stand guard here anymore and will go directly back to the city gate to rest...
