Chapter 1558 Why?
Many may feel that the war would have dire economic and financial consequences for the Commonwealth.

Because it will actually affect the operation of many physical businesses, including export trade.

But in fact, this effect is only short-lived, or it will be so before there is major good news in the war.

Once there is major good news in the war, for the people of the whole society, these news will stimulate the rapid growth of the federal economy!
War is not a matter of a certain person or a certain political group, it concerns everyone in a country!

The Federal Army has been reporting good news on the Mariello battlefield. Facing the Federation's military strikes at a completely different dimensional level, even with the help and assistance of the Penteo people, it would be difficult for the Mariello government to organize an effective defense, let alone It's time to fight back.

There is no way, Mariro is too poor and too backward.

Before the Federals came, and until Penteo's military aid arrived, the Marillos didn't even know what it was like inside the cabin of the plane.

It wasn't until Penteio's military assistance arrived that they realized that the "inside" of this thing that can fly in the sky is actually nothing!
But Penteio's military assistance to Mariro was always limited. Even if they sent some planes, it would be difficult for these planes to play any role on the frontal battlefield!

Because the Federation is right next to Marillo!

In front of this country with the same terrible productivity as Penteo, the Federation's planes can fly all over the whole territory of Maliro from the mainland.

The Federals dropped a plane and they only needed a phone call to fill the void.

But for Marillo at this time, losing a plane is a complete loss!

A fleet of the Federation is cruising in the Atlantic Ocean. They have not found the route between Penteo and Marillo in a short time, but it is only a matter of time before they find this route.

The planes currently in Maliro are basically only used for reconnaissance.

Once the federal planes are found to be in the air, these planes will immediately retreat.

Compared with the aircraft that are too easy to lose, Penteo's second military assistance is mainly based on anti-aircraft artillery.

But for Mariro, who lacks the ability to independently produce anti-aircraft artillery shells, these anti-aircraft artillery are actually not very meaningful!

The federal people are constantly advancing every day, and some warlords can no longer bear the pressure and fall to the federal people.

No one knows when and how this war will end, but everyone knows that the Federation will not be the loser!
This is the biggest good news!

Every morning, the headlines of the major media and newspapers are always these.

They are not telling people "how many kilometers we have advanced" or "how many enemies we have annihilated". These news greatly stimulated the federal economy.

It was not completely affected by the war. On the contrary, it was the Federation's outstanding military achievements that significantly improved the Federation's status in the international community.

Some foreign trade factories were converted to domestic sales, providing goods for the federal government and the military.

For example, in the past few days, almost all large-scale food factories in the Federation have received an order from a joint development company.

The content of the order is actually not complicated at all, it is to require these factories to store the goods in the order at the designated place within the time frame specified by the joint development company.

All kinds of food, relief food!
It doesn't need to be delicious, or even nutritious, as long as people can't starve to death, that's enough!

These are part of the agreement reached in the negotiations between the United Development Corporation and the federal government. There are more and more "refugees" in the Mariello-controlled area, and more and more people gather in the concentration camp.

These people will become a heavy burden on the federal government. After all, some things are easy to do from the capitalist's point of view, but not so easy to do from the government's point of view.

Due to these large groups participating in the war interest relationship, coupled with the federal government's dispatch to various domestic industries, the federal economy is developing at a high speed in a way that outsiders may seem a little sick and perverted!

At the end of July and the beginning of August, the weather finally started to get hot.

But the hearts of the people of Maliluo are getting colder and colder.

"Another city has fallen."

The President looked at the city circled with a red pen and an X on the map, and sighed.

In less than two weeks, this south-central city, which is also well-known in Marillo, fell completely.

This used to be the lair of a great warlord, who built it like a city in some developed countries.

Luxurious, stylish, and big.

But it lasted less than two weeks.

In order to defend the city, the great warlord arranged all his troops in and around the city. He announced that he should have assembled 12 people, plus some auxiliary workers, a total of 15 people.

The number of people sounded a lot, but it was of no practical use. Before the Federals got close to the city, they began to bombard the city indiscriminately. Their bombers kept dropping bombs.

Those militants who were hiding in the buildings and prepared to surprise the Federals did not even see the face of the enemy, and finally merged with the surrounding buildings!
Throughout the city, building debris and bloodstains can be seen everywhere.

Including some ordinary people with weapons, it is said that at least more than 20 people participated in the defense of the city, and more than 4 people died in this asymmetrical war in the end!

As for the others, those who could run had already run away, and those who died were those who could not.

The Federals never considered "occupying" it. They destroyed it with bombs and artillery shells, and then sent ground troops to start clearing the battlefield.

By the time the ground troops began to enter, the entire city had been turned into ruins, and there were not many living militants left.

Many people around who didn't run away or didn't run away at all were captured by the Federals.

They built some simple facilities next to the city, and then the residents, under the supervision of the federal people, began to clean up the ruins and the corpses in the ruins.

In order to prevent the dead bodies from eventually becoming the source of the disease, these dead bodies, body parts and so on, were found and burned.

Even in the capital of Mariello, the President could vaguely smell the special stench in the air that comes from burning corpses!

The closest federal army left here was only a hundred kilometers away.

If they crossed the cities in between, they could be here in a week.

It hasn't been long since the war started, and Mariro has lost nearly half of his territory...

The President originally thought that the Mariro people were so brave and good at fighting, at least they could drag this war on forever!

The Penteo people thought so too, but obviously they all overestimated the fighting ability of the Mariro people, and underestimated the determination and strength of the Federation people.

Mariello Army Chief was standing not far away at this moment. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say or how to say it.

The current domestic war situation has nothing to do with him at all. He, the chief of the army, has been a decoration for a long time.

No, it's not even as good as the decoration, at least the decoration is respected, but not many people here respect him.

He couldn't even mobilize the police, so how could he gain the respect of others?
But now that something went wrong, he became the one responsible. He felt very wronged and didn't know how to solve it.

In the end, it's better not to say anything at all.

The diplomat Peng Jieo on the side had some ideas, "Mr. President, I suggest that you retreat to... Hong Kong immediately, and we must prepare for the worst."

The port he mentioned is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Marillo, and it is the port from the west.

From here it is possible to take a boat directly to Penteo, which is also the last option.

Once the entire territory of Maliluo fell, what Emperor Penteo meant was that they would immediately take President Maliro and his presidential cabinet members into exile in Penteo.

Even now, the Penteio Empire has prepared a mansion in exile for them, waiting for their visit at any time!
Controlling these people is tantamount to grasping the highest reason to interfere in the Mariro area.

Even if the entire territory of Mariro falls, they can still use the government-in-exile to support some local resistance organizations.

It's nothing more than sending them some weapons, ammunition, and some supplies. It doesn't cost much, but it can cause a lot of trouble for the Federation. This is a very good idea!

Even if one day in the future, the Penteo Empire has a way to land on a large scale, the government-in-exile can also pave the way for them to completely take down Mariro's land!

The grand president heard what diplomat Peng Jieao said, but he didn't look back, and didn't respond, he just looked at the map with a frown.

After a while, he walked into the map and briefly measured Mariro and the Federation with his hands, just a simple, rough measurement.

"It doesn't look like a big difference," he said.

The voice is not loud, and it doesn't seem to have any special meaning, it's just a way to express inner curiosity or emotion.

He turned around and looked at the people in the office, with a confused look on his face, "The gap between us is obviously not that big, why did we not have the slightest ability to fight back when they decided to invade us?"

"Our history is longer than the Federation, and our civilization is more brilliant than the Federation. At least our history can be traced back more than a thousand years."

"But why, we will lose in the end?"

No one can answer this question.

They have many reasons, but at this time, none of these reasons are valid.

Peng Jieo's diplomatic ambassador did not take care of the president's emotions. He emphasized his point of view again, "Mr. President, we should go to... Hong Kong as soon as possible, it is safe enough there!"

Mr. President turned his head to look at him, then shook his head, "No, I won't go."

"I'm not going anywhere!"
