Hearing about the current living conditions of the people in the main city of New Weimar, Wandou was moved by it.
During the attack, she had read intelligence about the hard life of the people in the main city of New Weimar and their severe exploitation by federal businessmen.
But she didn't pay much attention to it. With the development of industrial manufacturing, many major cities often required workers to work overtime in order to increase production. Workers' wages were exploited for various reasons, and some illegal areas even hired cheap child labor.
His Majesty the Emperor even beheaded more than a dozen noble merchants because of this, and the Valkyrie intelligence department also allocated part of its force to monitor the situation, which stopped this momentum.
In response, His Majesty the Emperor has developed and promulgated labor laws to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers to the greatest extent.
The Weimar Federation did not have a wise emperor, and the degree of exploitation by businessmen had reached an astonishing level.
Farmers are better off than workers, but if they work hard for a year and only eat enough to fill their stomachs, workers are miserable.
A worker who works hard for a day can only feed one and a half people, which means that two people can only feed three people. If the couple has more children, in addition to letting the children go to work, there is nothing like starving to death.
Happens every year.
Sam originally chose to be a soldier, not only to have enough food to eat, but also to exchange monthly rations for his younger brothers and sisters.
In today's Weimar Federation, food is the hard currency, and money is of no use in the Weimar Federation.
So society has regressed and returned to the era of barter, which is for ordinary people. In the upper class, the main trade is still based on coins, but the money is dug out and exploited from the people.
Not only that, the federal army also colluded with these upper-class people to block key roads in various places and prevent people from fleeing their cities, so they could only be exploited by them.
"This is eating human blood!"
Wandou's face looked horribly gloomy.
"These businessmen deserve to be killed!"
"Leave this matter to you, Shersh! Handle it according to the old rules."
Shersh couldn't help but smile in surprise.
The so-called old rule is that 80% of what is robbed should be handed over to the empire, and the rest will be distributed among the robbed armies.
This kind of behavior is very normal in the mainland, but the Melox Empire has strictly controlled it since its founding, and does not allow soldiers to kill and plunder people.
Of course, there are also a few times, such as cleaning up some disobedient nobles, wealthy businessmen, or some stubborn elements.
It's just that this kind of thing has never been brought to light, so the people of the empire don't know that imperial soldiers also have such a dark side.
Shersh once participated in a city massacre. Just because the earl lord's personal reputation was too high, the people in the entire city looked up to him and vowed to fight to the death with the United Army. Even if the city was captured in the end, the people in the city would not be able to survive.
The people also launched KB attacks on the defenders from time to time, or used black guns, or even engaged in ambush warfare in complex terrain outside the city, and there was a faint tendency to evolve into guerrillas.
Finally, Gawain ordered the massacre of the city.
This was also the first time the empire massacred a city, and the entire city was razed to the ground afterwards. This incident also became a typical case of the United Army.
Afterwards, Gawain also reported the matter to Aslan. At that time, Aslan did not express any attitude towards it and acquiesced in Gawain's actions. He only demoted Gawain afterwards as a punishment to him.
After Pea reported the matter to Arthur, Arthur was silent for a while and then couldn't help laughing.
"Actually, this matter is not as serious as you think, but rather an opportunity."
Wandou was confused when he heard that their cruel behavior was actually an opportunity.
"His Majesty once said that mastering public opinion is sometimes more effective than any weapon."
Arthur knocked Pea on the head.
That's the thing about her that's bad, she views things entirely in a military way.
"Promote to ordinary people that all the hard life in the Weimar Federation today comes from the exploitation of the old aristocrats and wealthy oligarchs. The empire is here to liberate them and lead them to a happy and beautiful life. Promote these people as evil as possible.
From time to time, ordinary people who can't stand it will naturally attack these people's mansions..."
Before Arthur could finish his words, Wandou interrupted.
"The number of private soldiers in these mansions ranges from thousands to hundreds, and they are all equipped with the latest free-style rifles in the Magic City. By then, ordinary people will surely suffer huge casualties."
Arthur nodded and said: "Sometimes sacrifices are necessary. As long as there are casualties, we can intervene reasonably and suppress these people with thunderous means. Finally, we will hand them over to the people for trial. We will kill them all from beginning to end."
He is so outstanding that he can accomplish his goals and tasks easily and gain the support of the people."
The pea's mouth is wide open, and he can still play like this.
"If you are worried about too many casualties, just let the captured soldiers take the lead and allocate weapons to them."
Wandou nodded, walked out of the headquarters in a daze, and happened to bump into Shersh who was dispatching troops.
"Don't go out, I have a plan."
Shersh's face suddenly fell when he heard not to take action at first, but when he heard Wandou's plan, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then turned around to make arrangements.
This matter will naturally fall on Shersh. The Dam brothers are good, especially Sam. They have recently won over many federal prisoners. In addition, with the support of the United Army and a large amount of food to clear the way, they quickly became prosperous.
, vaguely looks like a traitor from the Weimar Federation.
With him taking the lead, I believe it will soon arouse a response from many people.
In order to deceive others, the 1st and 2nd Airborne Brigades also launched an attack on the granary of the main city of New Weimar.
An army of 100,000 was formed from the remaining troops, private soldiers from other urban areas and strong men, and successfully pushed back the attack.
In this attack, the two brigades did not use heavy weapons, nor did they send out mentor-level experts. They just feinted a few times and retreated.
This battle greatly boosted the morale of the federal army, but they did not notice that people outside XC District began to pour into the city in large numbers, and soon a torrent of tens of thousands of people surrounded the mansions of wealthy merchants and nobles in XC District.
Under the secret instigation of Sam and others, the people began to attack the mansions of these great men.
In order to block the onslaught of the people, the big boss's private soldiers started shooting, but a large number of them were killed by former federal soldiers hidden in the crowd.
These private soldiers never thought that the mud-legged men were also equipped with rifles. They stood on the wall and shot with such arrogance. Even such a big living target was still a target.
This wave of gun battles between the two sides can frighten the besieging people, but many people who can no longer live happily see that their own side is also covered by guns, and attack the grand master's mansion even more frantically.
In the end, they were unable to capture the great master's mansion, and instead left thousands of corpses behind and retreated at the cost of tens of thousands of injuries.
