Chapter 23 The disaster of extinction
Bai Zhizhan shook open the newspaper and did not disturb He Pengfei anymore so that he could concentrate on driving. Besides, after taking the train for a day, Bai Zhizhan just wanted to stay quietly for a while.
However, when you see the title of the front page headline, Bai Zhizhan can't be quiet.
"Don't you know about this?"
Hearing this, Bai Zhizhan looked up at He Pengfei.
"The news spread in the morning. I heard that the royal family of Luosha Empire was destroyed, and the babies were not spared, and all of them were not escaped. Because the situation was too chaotic, reporters from many countries had evacuated, so the reports are all full of rumors. So far, there is no official news."
All the royal members of the Luosha Empire are finished!?
Bai Zhizhan took a breath and picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.
In fact, as early as November 3, five days ago, after the Privy Council issued a ceasefire edict, major newspapers of the Empire published news of a mutiny in the Luosha Empire.
However, not many people took this seriously at that time.
After the mutiny, the military officer group that held the regime announced to the world through formal channels that it would continue to implement the war plan and ensure that the regime change would not have any impact on the war. The Luosha Empire was not only a member of the alliance group, but also in the future.
On November 2 the day before, the Alliance Group was already reporting on the defeat of the Tyman Empire.
Overall, the mutiny of the Luosha Empire can be regarded as an internally initiated military and political adjustment, which is closely related to the defeat and surrender of the Taurus Empire.
With the defeat of the Troman Empire, the war pressure of the Luosha Empire was greatly reduced, and the tense domestic situation could be alleviated.
That's why no one is worried about the mutiny of the Luosha Empire.
According to the propaganda made by the Western powers, after the defeat of the Great Man Empire, the aid materials from the Newland Federation and the Kingdom of Bran will be sent to the Luosha Empire quickly to help the soldiers and civilians of the Luosha Empire survive this sudden arrival and extremely cold winter to welcome the final victory together.
If so, the Liangxia Empire may not be able to persist until next spring.
But now it seems that the actual situation of Luosha Empire is worse than rumors. Otherwise, mutiny would not lose control, let alone the entire royal family was destroyed.
How serious it will be to lead to the entire destruction of the royal family of an empire!?
In the news published in the newspaper, it was emphasized that the drought that had swept across the northern hemisphere since the first half of this year.
Strictly speaking, what caused the Tauman Empire and Luosha Empire to fall was this drought that was rare in a century.
After the severe drought in the spring, it was located in the western continent and surrounded by enemy countries. Moreover, the northern plains belonged to the Goman Empire, which had low light and heat, and the agricultural output itself was seriously insufficient, so the first famine broke out and fell to the ground under the impact of famine.
During the peacetime pre-war period, the Tyman Empire had to import a large amount of food every year to feed 70 million citizens.
A year after the outbreak of the war, the Tiaoman Empire used up all its strategic reserves. If it weren't for the support of the Liangxia Empire, it would have been defeated more than two years ago.
After that, regardless of unfavorable geographical factors, the Allied Group continued to increase troops to the hinterland of the huge land and made a fuss about the strategic transportation line passing through the Ter Empire, in order to transfusion blood to the Ter Man Empire. When the Ter Man Empire was defeated and the major arteries were blocked, the defeat of the Ter Man Empire became an inevitable result.
However, the situation in Luosha Empire is similar.
In strategic geographic context, the Luosha Empire is exactly the same as the Tyman Empire. It is surrounded by enemy countries and it is difficult to obtain direct assistance from allies.
In the words of the strategists of the Western powers, these two empires are actually the ones who decide to win the great battle.
Simply put, it depends on who persists for longer!
During the war, the alliance group used troops in the direction of the Gangaro Plain and continued to throw heavy troops into the hinterland of the huge land. The Kingdom of Bran and the Locke Republic blocked the Ter Empire at all costs and defended the fortress on the Fanyan Ocean to protect the transportation line to the Luosha Empire.
Of course, this move can also be used to cheer up the Luosha Empire.
The Tauman Empire fell in the midst of drought and famine. Will the Luosha Empire live a better life?
The answer is obviously no!
Not to mention the Luosha Empire, even the Liangxia Empire is not having a good life!
Before the war, the Liangxia Empire was the world's largest grain-producing country and one of the major grain exporters. The grain produced each year not only allowed the country's 400 million people to have enough food and clothing, but also provided an additional supply of hundreds of millions of people. Moreover, exporting food has always been the main means for the Liangxia Empire to expand its influence.
However, this year's drought also hit the Liangxia Empire hard.
The northwest region, which was most affected, was already hungry.
Although the imperial authorities strictly blocked the news and prohibited any related news, rumors had long spread throughout the country with the victims who fled famine.
In addition, the rationing standards that are being reduced every month can also illustrate the problem.
Don’t forget that in the past three years, even though they suffered a crushing defeat on the battlefield, the rationing standards have not been lowered and have been maintained at a high level. Even the civilians at the bottom of the class will definitely be able to have food and clothing if they actively participate in labor. By now, the rationing standards have been reduced by one quarter and will definitely continue to be lowered. By the end of the year, it may drop to two-thirds of last year, and many people will definitely go hungry.
Half of the territory of the Luosha Empire is located on the north side of the huge land, and half of the territory of the western continent is also located in high latitude areas.
Although the country is vast and the grain production of Luosha Empire can be self-sufficient, its production efficiency is very low and it will definitely be difficult to sustain during wartime.
There is no doubt that the disaster in Luosha Empire is even worse.
As for the allies, they are obviously powerless.
Among the alliance groups, the only one who is able to export strategic materials such as food is now capable of exporting strategic materials such as food, and the remaining materials can be provided will not be too much. Not only the Luosha Empire, but almost all the allies, and only the Kingdom of Bran is slightly better.
The key is that the size of Luosha Empire is too large.
The Luosha Empire has a population of about 100 million, and is only about 30 million less than the Newland Federation among the alliance groups.
It can be seen that even if the Newland Federation tried its best, it might not be able to save the Luosha Empire from the fire and water.
If the disaster in Luosha Empire was particularly serious and famine had spread to the cities and the army, it would not be surprising that the mutiny would be out of control.
In the eyes of the people like lambs, soldiers are loyal shepherds.
But, how could the lamb know that the ancestor of the shepherd dog was a meat-eating wolf!
If the shepherd dog is really hungry, it will inspire its original instinct. Not to mention the fat lamb, I am afraid that even the shepherd who obeys the orders on weekdays will not be spared!
But, what's there to sigh?
No matter how much trouble it is, the Luosha Empire is the one who suffers from the disaster.
After putting away the newspaper, Bai Zhizhan breathed a long sigh.
The car has already driven out of the city, and the road is lined with fertile fields and cottages.
A mutiny broke out in Luosha Empire and the royal family was destroyed, which may not be a bad thing for the Liangxia Empire, because it means that the alliance group will have to consider truce negotiations with its most powerful opponent, the Liangxia Empire, without achieving complete victory.
