Chapter 1934 Is there any way

In a beautiful manor, a group of decent-looking gentlemen sat in the room, the door was closed, and there were many people patrolling around the building.

"I brought you here today because I have something very important to tell you!"

The people kept quiet, they were the nobles of Penteo, a very special group of nobles.

Their bodies flowed with the blood of kings, and their country was conquered and annexed by Peng Jieao.

Their ancestors also became prisoners of the Penteo Empire, and became playthings for the Penteo ruling class to have fun with.

After more than a dozen generations of hard work, they have successfully changed from the imprisoned survivors to the nobles of Pengjieo, the lowest nobles.

Although the process was disgraceful, at least they got rid of their former identities.

There is an ancestral motto handed down in this family——

Only by being alive can miracles be created!
It sounds like a common motivational slogan, but everyone here knows what it says!
Every generation has been working on it, though the minds of the people over the years have not been as determined as those of their ancestors.

Even the younger generation thinks that it is good now, although they are dubbed "Jester", "clown" and other inelegant titles, but at least they are nobles!

They can enjoy some privileges and are much more comfortable than the commoners.

The head of the family took a deep breath, and spoke in a low voice, "The federal people contacted me, and they promised to help us restore the country..."

The people in the room were speechless in shock at the news!

After a few seconds, some people's faces showed some hesitation, while others became excited!
The head of the family looked at the important members of these families and continued, "I want to discuss with you whether we want to reply to the federal people."

All of a sudden, everyone began to express their thoughts, and a heated discussion began around the restoration of the country and the non-reversion of the country.

At the end of the discussion, most people supported the restoration of the country, but a small group of people thought that this was not the best time.

"This is just a conspiracy by the federal people. They hope to use us to hold back the power of the empire. Once they negotiate peace, we are likely to lose everything!"

Some opponents expressed their thoughts, and the head of the family nodded, which was regarded as an acknowledgment.

However, he added, "The federal people gave me a promise that they will fight to the imperial capital, regardless of whether there is a peace negotiation in the end."

"They need to use this result to let the royal family understand the determination of the federal people."

"And if you have read the terms of the peace talks, you will find that the federal people's attitude towards the royal family is terrible!"

Those in favor have expressed solidarity, while the opposition seems to have become hesitant.

If they can really hit the imperial capital, there is no doubt that this country will be dismembered!

The myth of invincibility has been broken, and they know what the empire will look like like the people of the Federation!
Once the myth of the undefeated royal family ends, those careerists will jump up!

It is impossible for any country or society to be harmonious from top to bottom!
Penteo is no exception.

Regardless of the parliamentary system of elders, the lower class may also participate in politics, but class conflicts always exist.

Even the council of elders system can't change this.

The occupation and plunder of social resources by the nobles has always existed, but in the past people succumbed to the powerful war power of the empire and did not dare to act recklessly.

Once people no longer fear the ruler's force, it is conceivable that many people will stand up against the royal family!

Including the nobles themselves, there will be people who oppose the royal family!
Soon, this group of people unified their opinions. They also had a request for the federation, that is, to send some young people to the federation first.

If they are unlucky in the future, they hope that the federal people can take them away with them. This is their only condition.

The feedback from the Federation was quick, and they agreed to their request, and then they will arrange for people to discuss in detail, talking about things like restoring the country...

This kind of thing happened in many places, even in the north of the Penteo Empire, where there were also some Penteo people who were not Penteo people.

Perhaps the founding emperor of the Pengjieao Empire never thought about it. Although one of his small hobbies created the glory of the Pengjieao Empire, it also planted endless hidden dangers.

Now, these hidden dangers are about to explode!

In addition to these survivors, many people at the bottom of the society also knew about these things. For a while, people in the occupied area and people outside the occupied area were all thinking!
Especially some merchants!
The situation of the Penteio Empire is similar to that of Gafla. It is a power-based state system, and the role of power is infinitely magnified.

The influence and status of capital in the country is very weak, as it is now.

During the war, the capitalists controlled by the nobles must produce various materials for the country unconditionally.

Except that the raw materials are provided by the nobles or the royal family, all other costs are borne by the merchants themselves.

Since the war, many businessmen have gone bankrupt.

The efforts of generations have come to naught, but they don't even have the right to be angry!
They don't even dare to express their dissatisfaction with the nobles and the ruling class!

Some people will accept their fate, after all, what they have to face is an empire that is invincible in their minds!

But there are always some people who are unwilling to accept their fate like this!

If you don't give it a try, how can you be reconciled?
Some domestic trends in Penteo are being quickly fed back to the federal mainland. As one of the participants who provided the entire plan, Lynch also has the right to read part of the report.

The exchange of news is the best news, which means that some forces in the Penteio Empire have already been moved.

They haven't moved yet, it's just that some details have not been discussed!

Many bereaved families have requested to leave a way out. They can raise their flags to oppose the rule of the Penteio royal family, but they hope that if they fail, they can only move their families to live in the Federation.

Previously they had no such opportunity to get rid of the control of the Penteio ruling class, and now the opportunity presented itself, and they had to fight for it.

And just as Lynch thought, everyone knew that as long as one person was persuaded, the others would have no choice.

At the beginning of April, the remnants of the Bole royal family took the lead in sending electricity to the whole country of Penteo. They will overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Penteo royal family and restore the Bole dynasty.

In a very short period of time, they pulled up an armed force of about 5000 people and occupied a city.

The Federals provided a large number of weapons and equipment, giving them the ability to fight against the Penteo officials.

In order to fight against the invasion of the Federals, the Penteo Empire has withdrawn a large number of troops to the front line, and now the central and northern parts of the empire are very empty militarily.

Even if the army is conscripted again now, let alone how many soldiers can be enlisted in two consecutive conscriptions, it is difficult to solve the problem of weapons and equipment alone.

The more the Federation fights, the faster the economy develops.

The world's major capital consortiums have noticed this. The victory of the war and the rapid economic development have snowballed the advantages of the Federation, quickly accumulating to a frightening level!

Now no one can stop it from stopping, and more capital is constantly joining in. The more the federation fights, the richer it is, and the greater the return on their investment in the war!
On the other hand, the Penteio empire, because of the economic sanctions, the surrounding countries have been dragged down by Penteio, and the economy has long since collapsed.

The worse the situation is, the more capital is fleeing, and the people are not optimistic about the war, and they are not as supportive as when the war first started.

The essence of war is to exchange numbers and throw money at each other.

From the soldiers' salaries to the copper skins used to make bullets, it's all money!
The emperor of the Penteio Empire condemned these rebels overnight, and at the same time mobilized the Royal First Guards Corps to suppress the rebellion.

From the point of view of actions, it seems that the Penteo royal family attached great importance to this rebellion from within the empire, and even sent the most powerful army in the empire to suppress it.

But only those who are familiar with the political situation of the Penteo Empire can feel that the current situation of the Penteo Empire is really bad.

The legion guarding the imperial capital is not used to suppress rebellion, and it has not been endowed with such attributes since its establishment.

The reason for mobilizing the Guards Corps now is that the empire cannot gather a combat-capable army in a short period of time, so they can only risk mobilizing the Guards Corps to do things they shouldn't do.

This also exposed the current weakness of the Penteio Empire.

No matter how much they boast that they can pull up 1000 million soldiers, they can't cover up the real situation now.

No money, it is really terrible!

His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire obviously understands this truth!

"The number of young and middle-aged men who have responded to the call is very small. If they are called again, they will only be able to recruit an army of less than 100 million."

"And in terms of military spending, there may be some trouble."

100 million people, even if each person only receives a salary equivalent to 300 yuan a month, 100 million people have to spend [-] million worth of cash a month.

Attention, it's cash!

Then these people have to match their equipment, weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, ordnance... This is a lot of money!
The chief of the army gave the emperor an unsatisfactory number. If they want to continue conscription in a short period of time, they need to come up with cash worth at least 20 billion federal sols.

The treasury of the Penteio Empire has it, but the money has already been spent. Once it is used, when it is needed, it may detonate even more terrible problems!

Now is not the time when the war just broke out, and the public can join the army with dry food and equipment for the dividends of the war!

The empire is currently at a disadvantage, and the people's willingness to join the army has been reduced. If they don't show actual benefits, it will be difficult to convince them!
His Majesty the Emperor no longer saw him half asleep and half awake, as if he didn't care about everything.

He was angry, walking back and forth, roaring loudly!

"Is there nothing I can do now?"
