[Infrastructure] Rose kissed Barcelona
Chapter 92 Combat Readiness
It was still dark when Joey got back into town.
Several fires have basically been extinguished, and the thick smoke that has not yet dissipated covers the sky, making the darkness before dawn extraordinarily thick.
The mountains and sea around the city fell into a soundless silence, but the people in the city did not feel sleepy.
Engineers have rushed into the power plant with their toolboxes on their backs, and the roar of the machines resounds through the surrounding streets.Every once in a while, patrolling police and soldiers pass by on the street.
More people waited nervously at home, almost nervously listening to the occasional gunfire in the direction of Montjuic Mountain.
Everyone knew something had happened.
Although the flames of the Southwest Barracks were extinguished, the sound of enemy raiders and chaotic gunfire there before could be heard from the entire city.
Fortunately, the city had just experienced a month-long state of emergency.
With previous experience, under the rapid control of the public security forces, the residents cooperated and returned home after a short period of panic, anxiously waiting for the dawn and new news, good or bad.
Five in the morning.
City Hall was brightly lit, and Speaker Manolo was swearing in the diamond-shaped office that used to belong to the mayor.
"The shameless liar! Traitor! Bastard! Disgrace to Barcelona!"
He slammed his fist on the desk with a "bang", and piles of documents fell down one after another.
"Mr. Speaker," the young secretary holding the document poked his head out of the door tremblingly, "The heads of the Police Department, the Electric Power Department, the Fire Department and the Construction Department request an interview..."
"Is it me they want to meet?! It's obviously the mayor they want to meet!" Manolo roared.
In a shameful and unprecedented humiliation, the mayor of Barcelona fled after the alarm came.
Of course, he just disappeared, and it's possible he didn't run away, but was killed accidentally in the initial fire and attack.
He'd better be dead.Manolo thought angrily.
"Uh, there is no mayor now, and they hope you can give them instructions..." The secretary shrank his neck.
"Ha! Me, Speaker! Give them instructions!" Manolo laughed dryly as if he had heard some joke, "What did I do to ask God to punish me like this? Lord, I also It’s just a matter of working hard to be the speaker!”
"What does the speaker do? I preside over the meeting! What's more, I'm the speaker of the opposition party! Whatever the ruling party proposes, just oppose it..."
"It's war now! It's a time of war! Why don't I become a general if I want to be able to do that? Why don't I want to be this hapless speaker? Huh? What do you think?"
The secretary was too scolded to look up.
How does he know?He is not the speaker, nor is he a general.
He's just a poor little mayor's secretary.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
It is the secretary of the chairperson himself.
He coughed lightly, quickly glanced at his colleagues, and said to Manolo: "Mr. Speaker, Your Highness the Princess invites you to have an interview in the Olive Hall."
For the first few seconds after entering the Olive Hall, Manolo thought he had made a mistake.
...Where is the princess?
His eyes wandered around several times in surprise, before he confirmed that the smaller of the two ladies in medieval knight costumes in front of him was Her Highness Princess Rose.
This crazy world.Manolo thought to himself.
Barcelona was attacked.The mayor ran away.Her Royal Highness Princess and her maid from Madrid changed into men's clothes.
The princess was looking at a stack of papers in front of her.
The lady with big brown eyes next to her spoke first: "Mr. Speaker, Her Royal Highness has basically understood the current situation. She will temporarily take over the city of Barcelona until the reinforcements of the Kingdom's army arrive. And I will serve as the princess' military commander. .”
Manolo: "...uh."
One more crazy thing to add.
It's time to go to war, and the commander is actually a woman.
Ada continued: "I have already contacted the fortress and the Southwest Barracks. Next, I will deploy all the military personnel and resources in the city."
"The fortress was alerted 10 minutes ago, and the main force of the Carlos army is expected to arrive southwest of Barcelona after nine o'clock tonight."
"So fast?!" Manolo exclaimed in surprise, then shook his head vigorously, trying to make the world normal, "Wait a minute, this... this lady? Are you sure?"
He felt ridiculous, but a gentleman couldn't yell at a woman.
"If I were a man," Ada raised her chin, "you would have to call me General Jimenez by now, Mr. Speaker."
"However, you can call me Miss Commander now."
She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "If you have any objections to my military command, you can directly call General Gamo in the fortress."
"Now, the first order-please convey to all parliamentarians that from now on, Barcelona will enter a state of war."
……
"So, Ada," Joey looked at Ada with a half-smile, "I don't know how many surprises you have?"
and scare.
The maid who followed her knew everything about the garrisons and weapons arsenals near Barcelona. What was even more absurd was that she was a direct student of General Gamo in the fortress.
The kind that can command a war.
"No more!" Ada burst into an extremely sincere smile, and raised her hands vowingly, "I swear to God!"
She blinked and said complacently: "Your Highness, my military genius is recognized by the queen, so she let me follow you. I really didn't lie to the speaker just now - if I were a man, I would definitely be a general by now. "
Joey smiled: "You are now, respected General Jimenez."
"Oh my God!" Ada sighed contentedly, covering her heart, "Your Highness, I love you so much—can you do it again?"
Joey gave her a white look: "Wake up, honey. It's dawn."
The two suddenly laughed together.
"Okay, let's get down to business," Joey said calmly, "I do doubt that I have the ability to take over the entire city, Ada."
She's just a lucky average person who has never seen war, nor has any military training.
"It's me!" Ada smiled and narrowed her eyes. "The military deployment is all on my shoulders! I will cooperate with General Jiamo."
"But Your Highness, this is a city after all, not a military camp."
Ada's tone was very serious: "Most of the people in this city are civilians, and there are not many people who can hold guns. To be honest, keeping the city running is the most important task in this war-this task is only for you, Your Highness. can do it!"
Joey glanced at her suspiciously—where does your confidence in your Highness come from?
Ada seemed to understand what she was thinking, and giggled: "Your Highness, have you forgotten how wisely you led Barcelona to drive away the plague before?"
Joey tried to defend himself: "That's different..."
"It doesn't matter, now the Southwest Barracks is almost abolished, the mayor has escaped again, and no one in the city hall is reliable. I believe that the citizens of Barcelona will unanimously agree to let you take charge of the power!"
Ada grabbed her hand: "I really don't have time. Your Highness, you can do it!"
"……All right."
Six o'clock in the morning.
The sky is bright over the city of Barcelona.
There will probably be no sun today, and the clouds are slowly gathering.
The sharp sound of the trumpet suddenly tore the silence of the morning.
Sirens sounded one after another throughout the city, and heralds ran through the streets and alleys to announce that war was coming!
The residents of the whole city have received clear instructions——
All citizens of working age were drafted into the army, and the rest of the population had to leave as soon as possible if they wanted to flee.
But because the train station was badly damaged and the tracks were blown up after inspection, getting out of town was an adventure in itself.
The port of Barcelona is full of busy ships.In a dozen or so hours, most of the ships will leave the coast or park in more concealed locations to avoid being bombarded by the enemy.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the number of weapons and combat power has basically been counted.
After the formation of groups was completed, experienced veterans were arranged to lead teams to fixed points to confirm ambushes and dig trenches, and the whole city began to be on alert.
After reconnaissance, it was determined that the current strength around the city is only a few battalions in the mountains on the south side of Montjuic Mountain.
They realized that they were at a disadvantage during the day and hid tightly, which also provided conditions for the city to quickly transport supplies and manpower to Montjuic Castle.
It is foreseeable that this fortress will become the most intensely contested location after the war.
At the same time, guards with live ammunition were placed in front of the power plants, water plants, telegraph substations, hospitals, and several ordinary warehouses.
All the wine in the wine cellar and on the shelves, as well as the pharmacy were requisitioned by the city government-entering a state of war, medicine and alcohol are all resources for unified deployment.
"Ada, do you think the war will last for a long time?" Joey asked.
"It's not certain yet... At present, we know that Carlos has a total of more than 30 soldiers, but the troops are scattered in northern Spain. If they want to gather all of them in Barcelona, it may take at least more than a week."
"However, how long the final battle will take depends on when His Majesty's army will arrive." Ada sighed, "It's really inconvenient not to have a telegram!"
"That's it." Joey thought thoughtfully.
To maintain order, we must first ensure the city's basic energy supply.
Fortunately, repairs were made in time last night, and most of the electricity and running water have been restored.
Critical infrastructure and granaries are specially protected, and the city can guarantee the ability to repair itself in a short period of time.
But more reliable backup sources of water, and perhaps even food, are needed if preparations are to be made for longer-term defense.
However, it is not realistic to complete these tasks before tonight.
If it is really necessary, I am afraid that it will have to wait until the first wave of offensive is survived.
"Play by ear," Joy wrote in his notepad.
After one afternoon, the southwest fringe area was completely emptied, and all residents moved to the northeast side of the city.
Some public places were quickly opened up as resettlement sites, while those who chose where to live were instructed to stay away from major traffic arteries and stay away from high-rise buildings.
These areas are the most dangerous in war.
All doctors and personnel with nursing skills are gathered and arranged to a unified medical point.
Almost all the men who knew how to handle a gun were given a weapon, and the women were quickly given emergency training in the basics of medical first aid.
In war, anyone who can understand instructions must play a role.
In the process, a more intimate order was passed on by word of mouth from the girls——
"Get off your corset! Don't wear a long skirt!"
Otherwise, when the shells hit, they would not be able to run at all.
If he fainted at every turn, no one followed him to pass smelling salts.
"Oh, thank God." The chubby young girl untied her corset and bit her ear with her companion, "I can finally bid farewell to this devil. I actually wanted to say Amen!"
At seven o'clock in the evening, the sun of this season has not yet reached Luoshan, but the setting sun cannot be seen in the sky.
In the heavy and tumbling dark clouds, the sound of thunder came faintly.
"It's going to usher in the winter rainy season in such a way, alas." People sighed.
Barcelona's port and passages in and out of the city were all closed, and the whole city fell into a tense silence.
It was the last calm before the storm.
"Report to Her Royal Highness, Miss Commander, the number of people has been counted."
"There were 30 original residents in the city, and now there are still 24 people staying in the city, all of which have been notified. The number of combatants is 6."
"The army sent by Carlos this time has 20 troops, and other troops are on the way."
"it is good."
Joy looked at Ada—her brown eyes were almost gleam with excitement.
"Let them come."
A bolt of lightning tore through the night sky, illuminating the looming army on the horizon.
Rumbling--
The torrential rain poured down suddenly, like tens of millions of silver bullets hitting the roof and the ground.
On this thunderstorm night, many people clenched their guns and knife handles, thinking of that day more than a century ago.
On September 1714, 9, after more than 11 days of siege, Barcelona fell.
160 years are fleeting.
The city has long since changed beyond recognition, but it still seems as stubborn as ever.
September 1874, 9, the night of the storm.
The siege of Barcelona broke out.
