Chapter 505 Imperial Hero Medal
Although the pariahs of the Papal States were ignorant, they were not really fools. Their great priests boasted about their visions of the future, promising them victory, bread, work, dignity and an afterlife.
But so much time has passed, and there is nothing left except the empty afterlife.
The Papal States showed no mercy when they deprived them of their pitiful property and what little possessions they had left in the name of war.
They claimed that what they took would be returned tenfold in the future, but no one ever saw the return.
The number of people was decreasing day by day, and no one knew where they were going. The Papal State went from being certain to win, about to win, and continuously winning to finally winning, making it feel like victory was getting further and further away.
The imperial army advanced rapidly, the Papal States were still boasting of their overall superiority, and countless young people disappeared without a trace.
Recruiting officers are still shouting in the streets every day that as long as you join the army for the religion, you can change your life.
In some areas, there were even incidents of people being forcibly abducted in order to complete the task.
There are few men left on the city streets, and areas that were once crowded are now deserted.
There are empty houses everywhere, which makes people shudder at night.
Suspicions and rumors have been growing for a long time, but there is a lack of evidence and no information from the outside world.
Until the empire's propaganda began, and overnight, the streets and alleys were full of leaflets.
The leaflet was the size of two palms and had four pages on both sides when unfolded. It explained the causes and consequences of the war in simple and plain language, exposed the fig leaf that the upper echelons of the Papal States had long used, and explained the truth of the matter with pictures and texts.
This leaflet was extremely destructive. It perfectly explained what the people had been confused about for a long time, fiercely attacked the untruths in the lies of the Papal States, and thereby tore apart the entire lie, giving people a sense of sudden enlightenment.
Not only leaflets, but people can also hear broadcasts from the empire as long as they turn their radios to any long-wave channel.
The explanation in the broadcast was much more detailed, especially focusing on how the Papal State used cannon fodder on the battlefield.
The skeptical people soon received more evidence. People living near the Stan River confirmed that a major battle had taken place there, refugees near Franburg proved that it had been occupied by the Empire, and people near the biochemical base confirmed that they had indeed seen a large number of soldiers moving around.
The horror of human flesh searches was perfectly demonstrated in the internet-free desert of the Papal States.
When the people learned the truth, they rioted. The angry untouchables attacked all official departments they could see, and people were spreading the news everywhere.
Large-scale riots and routs occurred among the new recruits, and even the regular army began to become unstable.
The riot quickly spread to the Papal States, and Mo Zhai rushed to put out the fire.
At this moment, the imperial army launched a general offensive.
The Papal army, with low morale and confused thoughts, had no intention of resisting and fled in all directions.
The loss of faith is more serious than any disaster, and no one is willing to die again.
The Allied Advisory Group, which was regarded as the greatest support of the Papal State, retreated overnight, and military personnel quickly returned to the country by plane.
Overnight, Mo Zhai found that the situation was irreversible.
The Papal States suffered a crushing defeat.
It's all over.
He convened a meeting for the last time and declared in front of all the high officials and the people that he would fight to the last moment, gamble the honor of the first priest, and share life and death with the Papal State.
During his speech, he repeatedly hinted that he had a top-secret weapon that could reverse the situation in an instant.
But after the speech, he immediately packed up his property, led his confidants, and secretly flew to a friendly neighbor on a private plane.
Unfortunately, as soon as the plane landed, the friendly neighbor tied him and his cronies up and sent them to the empire.
As for his huge fortune, its whereabouts are naturally unknown.
The news of the chief priest's arrest was made public, completely shattering the faith of the Papal soldiers who still had a last glimmer of hope.
Day 3.
The imperial army captured the important city of Hasla in the Papal States, and the entire ace mountain division surrendered.
Day 5.
The imperial army captured the capital of the Papal States, and the noble monks of the Papal States raised the flag of surrender. A large number of upper-class people tried to flee abroad, but the border had already been blocked by the empire.
Day 7.
The temporary chief priest of the Papal States, Luheni, announced unconditional surrender, and all troops from all over the country surrendered their weapons to the empire.
Luheni personally delivered the head of the imperial rebel Wu Jingtang to the imperial emperor Li Longxing and signed the surrender document.
So far.
The Papal Rebellion, which lasted for more than half a year, ended.
The empire, which seemed to be in turmoil and in internal turmoil, won a great victory.
The Papal States, which had the support of countries around the world, suffered a crushing defeat.
When the news came back, the whole country was jubilant. It was the first time that the name of the imperial emperor Li Longxing appeared so frequently throughout the empire.
After handling various affairs and temporarily stabilizing the situation, the empire's marshals and generals returned home in triumph.
The Supreme Council held a grand welcome ceremony at the Arc de Triomphe. Countless citizens of the empire flocked to the ceremony. The loud cheers even broke the glass. Streamers and ribbons fell from the sky. Generals Li Longxing, Shang Lianshan, Zhu Kewu and others, all dressed in their best clothes, passed through the Arc de Triomphe one after another and waved to the people around them.
The welcoming ceremony lasted until the evening.
Afterwards, the Empire held a grand banquet at the Holy Platinum Palace, attended by all generals except Lin Wen.
He has not yet recovered from the huge blow and only wants to continue cultivating immortality without getting involved in worldly affairs.
Li Linyue invited him again and again but he refused. The first princess, who was busy with other affairs, had to temporarily give up persuading Lin Wen and attend the banquet on her own.
Little Princess Li Qingyue ran up to him and said crisply, "Big Brother, I will keep an eye on my sister and not let her dance with other men."
Lin Wen then remembered that he still had a troublesome matter to deal with. It seemed that he had to practice his driving skills as soon as possible to make the First Princess dislike him to the maximum. The longer he delayed, the more trouble he would get into.
Not only that, Changshan County has also accumulated a lot of troubles. First of all, the Life Highway has encountered huge difficulties. The ruggedness of the western mountainous area is far beyond expectations, and the budget has increased several times.
The construction of nuclear power plants also encountered problems.
The raw materials for the new drugs are about to run out, and the new technology has not yet been broken through, so the company is about to operate at a loss.
However, Yu Zhongxian had given up competing with Lin Wen within the empire. He tried every means to smuggle the medicine abroad to bypass regulations and make huge profits.
As a result, the new drug returned to its original price of 10,000 yuan. The head of the pharmaceutical company called Lin Wen many times to ask whether he should raise the price, at least to avoid losing money.
What’s worse is that an interest group has actually been initially formed within Changshan County as a result of this.
The main personnel are bureaucrats and persons in charge of the production and sales of new drugs. They believe that Changshan County has now dominated the market and can raise prices.
If it can be raised to 100,000, Changshan County’s profit will be very considerable.
If we can raise fifty or one million, that would be huge profits.
The reasons in their report were also very legitimate. The huge amount of financial income could further accelerate the development of Changshan County and bring more benefits to the common people of Changshan County.
Qin Luoshuang, who was in charge of the overall situation, reported the matter to Lin Wen in detail, and said frankly that the County Governor's Guard, a powerful organization that included all the special agent departments, also had this trend.
Lin Wen had wanted to return to Changshan County for a long time. Many things needed to be sorted out, and his big plan had been interrupted for a long time.
Unfortunately, neither Li Longxing nor Li Linyue agreed.
Li Longxing told him that he could not go back until he had completed all the disposal and distribution of benefits in the Papal States.
But what really made Lin Wen stay with her was Li Linyue's words: "Unit 2 is very expensive, right? The Supreme Council might even compensate you."
Okay.
Just forgive my debt.
Also, please kill Yu Zhongxian quickly, I can’t wait to take off.
With this belief, Lin Wencai endured it.
He didn't know that the guy had leaked the information about him being the pilot of Unit 2. During this period of time, he was like a fly seeing dung, with bees and butterflies flying everywhere into his house.
The people of the princess faction were jealous and envious. Seeing a new upstart rising up among them, they were all envious to the point of madness.
But Princess Pie is not only about fanatical followers, it is more of a networking platform.
In fact, most people know that their chances of winning the princess's favor are slim, but this does not stop them from following the princess.
Their response to this is: "This is a life, an experience, and an honor."
These upstarts used this identity to make friends with more outstanding young people in the empire, and over time they became the princess faction.
Therefore, it is actually a way to get promoted, uniting interest groups based on the common admiration for the princess.
Even if the princess gets married, it will not suddenly disappear.
Therefore, their attitude towards the upstarts is jealousy and admiration, exclusion and protection.
Of course, it is essential to make friends with him. Who in the empire would complain about having too many friends?
Except for Lin Wen, he was almost annoyed to death.
A bunch of princess faction guys came to harass him every day. Not only that, there were also some little princess faction guys, little prince faction guys, orthodox royal faction guys, and non-royal faction guys.
Lin Wen could only close the door and refuse visitors, not leaving the house and not seeing anyone.
But there are some people who have his room key, such as Li Longxing, Li Linyue, and Li Qingyue.
They always unlocked the door without knocking, which made Lin Wen very unhappy.
There are also some people that Lin Wen has to meet even if he doesn't want to, such as the Great Elder.
After all, how could he not go if he was rewarded for his merits?
Lin Wen happily followed the Imperial Garrison Commander to the conference room of the Supreme Council. The four elders sat at the top, looking as cold and expressionless as ever.
Two rows of imperial garrisons stood on one side, giving him looks that could directly make [Phoenix Without Color] alert him.
A great elder said, "Lin Wen, you have made a great contribution to this victory."
"But we have a few questions for you."
It’s just nonsense… Lin Wen answered readily, “Okay.”
"Why does your robot create explosions like that?"
Lin Wenjian said, "It's the power of the Black Moon. When the pilot and the machine reach 100% synchronization, it triggers Unit-2 to go berserk, causing the restraints to break, resulting in a massive explosion."
Surprisingly, the Great Elder did not ask what the Black Moon was, but instead asked, "Is it related to the nuclear explosion?"
Lin Wen laughed and said, "Impossible. Although the strong electromagnetic pulse generated by a nuclear explosion is powerful, it is not enough to distort visible light. The wavelength of visible light is at the nanometer level, and ordinary electromagnetic fields cannot interfere with it."
"Although a nuclear explosion would generate high temperatures, its true lethality lies in the shock wave and nuclear radiation. The shock wave has a very large range, definitely more than a few kilometers, and the nuclear radiation is completely detectable. You should know that it couldn't be a nuclear explosion."
The Great Elder was silent for a moment.
"You understand very well."
"Have you ever seen a nuclear explosion?"
"It's just theoretical derivation. Who doesn't know such a simple theory?" Lin Wen said casually, "Don't forget that I'm a representative of science. No one understands science better than me."
The Great Elder was silent for a moment, as if agreeing with his words.
"Lin Wen, do you want to be the captain of the Imperial Garrison?"
Lin Wen asked curiously, "Can I kill people at will? Will I still retain my position as the mayor of Changshan County?"
"No, I won't keep it."
"Never mind."
"Okay, go back."
"Hey, hey, where's my reward?"
"here."
An imperial garrison commander handed over a large box.
"In recognition of your extraordinary achievements, we award you the title of 5,981 Hero of the Empire."
Lin Wen looked down and saw that it was indeed a box of medals of imperial heroes.
Damn, I’m not obsessed with medals.
Are you poisonous?
