1037 Chapter 1037: Food Exploitation

Kruse has Meriya as his good wife. After winning the Moratti defense line, Meriya predicted that the battle of the Weimar Federation would directly escalate. Unless the first airborne division was withdrawn, it would be impossible .

This time, the magic capital fell into a big somersault, and even lost everything.

Moratti's line of defense has failed, so the only way to get back is from the Weimar Federation.

So Meiriya made Cruze ready early, and when Arthur didn't ask for help, she had already begun to mobilize troops and prepare to strike hard.

Before the Allies of Free Magic on the southern defense line could react, they opened a breakthrough and let reinforcements enter the Weimar Federation, attacking the Allied Free Magic Army on the southern defense line back and forth, reducing the pressure on the First Airborne Division.

Of course, the main reinforcement force of the First Airborne Division still needs to be transported by transport planes. Kruzer also needs enough troops to pinch the Free Magic Alliance Army on the southern defense line, so he can only send a unified army brigade to support them.

Arthur hung up the communicator and sighed: "I really envy Kruse, I have a daughter-in-law who can arrange everything for her."

Wan Dou asked with a strange face, "Teacher, you are looking for a wife."

Arthur blushed, coughed and said, "Seriously, how are the troops resting now?"

"The complete rest has been completed, and the underground arsenal has been set up. The brigade leaders are already asking when to attack."

Pea said with a smile on her face.

Arthur looked at the map with a straight face, and pointed the baton at the tallest building in the DC area of ​​the main city of New Weimar—the Lahn Clock Tower.

That was the clock tower built in the name of President Lahn. In the main city of New Weimar, it was not only the tallest building, but also a symbol of federal power.

The flag of the Weimar Confederation was planted on the bell tower. Once the flag fell, in the eyes of the people, it meant that the new main city of Weimar had fallen.

This will be a huge blow to the people of the main city of New Weimar, and it will also be a huge opportunity for the big family that wants to integrate into the Merox Empire.

"Let those returning troops mix into the various cities and support us as much as possible against the new Weimar Federation, and let them block the federal army's offensive route."

"yes!"

Pea gave a military salute and quickly retreated.

After distributing the tasks, Shersh, the head of the Second Airborne Brigade, approached him.

"Consul Pea! I have something to report."

"explain!"

Wan Dou looked at the report in her hand without looking up.

"A soldier of the former Weimar Principality under Beizhi said that there is a way to persuade the people of the new Weimar main city to surrender."

Pea raised her head and put down the document in her hand.

"any idea?"

"It's just that a lot of food is needed, and I can't make the decision, so I came to ask you for instructions."

Shersh knew Pea's identity well, and said she was Arthur's disciple. In fact, many people knew that Arthur had completely regarded her as his daughter, and many military affairs were entrusted to her, and the commander-in-chief was only in charge of the general direction.

Pea frowned slightly.

As the supreme commander of a brigade, Shersh's authority is not inferior to that of a pea. Even he feels that he can't make the decision alone, and the amount of food needed will be huge.

"How much do you need?"

Shirsh shook his head.

"I don't know either, at least it must be able to feed the entire New Weimar Federation with rations."

Wan Dou stood up abruptly, supported the table with both hands, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Do you know how many people there are in the new Weimar Federation? How much food do you need?"

Schersh was prepared and said, "The main city of New Weimar has a population of more than 1.29 million, and the outer urban area is 1.56 million. The rations needed are about 3 million catties to meet daily needs."

"It's good that you know. Our current supplies are completely transported by air, and 1,500 tons of food is only enough to feed this many people for a day. Do you have any idea about the load capacity of the Gwen II transport plane?"

Pea is not in a good mood.

Shersch was also very embarrassed. The Gwen II transport plane was already the best self-produced transport plane currently in service in the empire, and its maximum load capacity was only 20 tons.

Shersh said: "I just need a batch of grain in the early stage. When we capture the granary in the main city of New Weimar, then everything will be no problem."

Pea weakly pointed at the map and said, "Tell me how to fight! The granary in the main city of New Weimar is under the protection of the federal army. If we are the army division of the unified army, we may still be sure, but our airborne division."

Although the number of airborne divisions is the same as that of the army divisions, they are mainly equipped with light weapons, and the number of artillery is not even half that of the army divisions, let alone armored tank units.

The number of strong men is not enough to attack the defenders of the granary. No matter how they think about it, it is impossible for them to attack the granary.

"I heard that the price of a catty of grain in the New Weimar Federation has risen to five silver coins."

Shirsh made a strange statement.

Pea was just stunned for a moment at first, but soon showed ecstasy.

"I want to see the officer."

Shersh understood that Pea had already been tempted, and hurriedly called people to call the Dam brothers outside the tent.

Dam saw Peas and saluted immediately.

"Sergeant Dum has seen Staff Pea!"

Sam was half a beat behind, and subconsciously muttered something.

"Wandu?"

"Federal prisoner Sam has seen the staff of Wandu!"

Pea didn't care about Sam's accent, she waved her hand and said, "Tell me about your plan."

Dam took a look at Sam, and was about to give Sam this chance of meritorious service. He believed that after this performance, even if Sam could not enter the army in the future, this military merit would be enough for him to be assigned a good job.

Sam took a deep breath, he had been taught by Dam too many times when he came here, although he had never seen such a big 'officer', but fortunately, Pea's power had not yet formed, and he had not released the grand knight commander's aura, It made Sam a lot less stressed.

"Sir, the XC district you occupy now is the wealthy district of the main city of New Weimar. It is mainly inhabited by wealthy businessmen from the Federation. They all have cellars under their villas, which store a large amount of grain. In particular, several chambers of commerce store more grain. It's countless."

Sam's answer made Pea frown slightly.

If these wealthy people are looted, the empire will encounter unnecessary resistance when it rules the main city of New Weimar in the future.

Schersh also reminded me of this problem when I came here, so Sam gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, the people in the main city of New Weimar can no longer stand the exploitation of the wealthy merchants in the city's chamber of commerce. I can no longer afford food, so I can only be forced to work for these rich people without salary, just for a little food to survive."
