Chapter 1101: The Nation is Destroyed in One Day (First Update, Please Subscribe)
For the people of Sucre, the war broke out suddenly, and before they even knew what was going on, the war broke out.
On the day the war broke out, President Hilarion Daza gave a passionate speech in Congress, talking about resisting the invaders and liberating Peru.
Then what?
The president led his army out of Sucre and went to the front to fight against his enemies, thus fulfilling his heroic dream.
At the same time, the city of Sucre began to become lively.
For ordinary people, the first thing they think of is to quickly buy various necessities of life such as flour and food, while merchants are also there to drive up prices.
At this point, if those unscrupulous businessmen do not drive up prices, can they be worthy of the word "merchant"?
Of course, the people will definitely complain about this.
"What a bunch of damn profiteers!"
Seeing that prices had doubled in just one day, Pachek complained loudly.
"I knew it, I knew it would happen. As soon as the war starts, those damn profiteers will drive up prices!"
"What a bunch of damn guys. If that officer takes the lead, I will kill those profiteers immediately..."
"Haha, they are colluding with the officers every time! Kill them? Those soldiers will kill you right away!"
"That's not the case. At least those small business owners can't collude with the military officers."
"Yes, just like that Jew who tripled the price of flour. The first thing we would do is rush into his store and take all the flour."
"Yes, he has a daughter. Although she is Jewish... she is also very beautiful!"
"Haha, that's true..."
What people are talking about, such as military officers and leaders, are the repeated military coups.
Bolivia as a country is not a normal country. In the past years, there have been more than a dozen military coups here. For the people here, they have long been accustomed to all this.
Almost every year, caudillo officers would start riots because of dissatisfaction with the government. Of course, it would only be a riot if they failed. If they succeeded...then he would naturally become president.
Over the past few years, most people have failed. But this does not prevent these citizens from discussing the next riot, because everyone knows that a riot may happen at any time. These citizens are not afraid, because they can always get something in the riot.
There are few people in this world who would reject the opportunity to buy something for zero yuan, especially for ordinary people. For their poor lives, buying something for zero yuan means an unexpected windfall and an improvement in their lives.
It is for this reason that they support the riots. In fact, what they support is not the riots themselves, but the opportunity for zero-dollar purchases contained therein.
Now faced with the reality of unscrupulous businessmen driving up prices, they can't help but fantasize about trying to retaliate against those unscrupulous businessmen through "zero-yuan shopping".
Just as people were talking, they suddenly heard bursts of roars coming from afar, the roar of an engine!
The low roar of the engine came like thunder. As the rumble slowly approached, people felt that the air around them seemed to tremble with the roar.
What is that sound?
Everyone was looking for the source of the sound curiously, and at this moment, they saw a large dark cloud floating in the distance.
It wasn't a dark cloud, but an endless stream of airships. Dozens of huge airships connected together in the sky, like a dark cloud. The dark cloud was flying towards Sucre!
"Oh my God... Yes, it's an airship!"
People screamed in fear. At this moment, all the horror legends about airships emerged in people's minds.
It once destroyed city after city and brought deaths to countless people. It was a devastating weapon possessed by the Ming Empire, and there were too many legends about this weapon.
There is even a legend that the Ming Dynasty once used it to release a large amount of poison gas, killing everyone in a city. There is also a legend that the Ming Dynasty once used it to kill millions of people...
In short, there are too many horror legends about him, and each legend is deeply rooted in people's hearts and makes people feel terrified.
In fact, Bolivia also had airships, and even several combat airships, but they all went to the front line with the president's army.
But even if they had seen airships, would it be the same?
This is the Ming Dynasty’s airship!
Why is it from the Ming Dynasty? Because... in the entire South American continent, who else except the Ming Dynasty would have so many airships?
"Oh my God, what is going on!"
Just as they were making the sign of the cross on their chests, just as they were in a state of panic, they heard footsteps.
No, it was the sound of uniform footsteps like thunder, the sound of iron boots!
"Click... click..." The sound of the iron boots was extremely loud, and it stepped on people's hearts again and again.
It’s the iron boots of the Ming Empire!
"Look, look, it's the army!"
"How is that possible? Didn't the army already go to the front line..."
Suddenly, people were so shocked that they stopped talking. They saw an army, but it was not the Bolivian army, but... the army of the Ming Empire. They were wearing the empire's unique green uniforms, and they walked into the city in such a triumphant manner!
It seemed that the army came from nowhere. The people who were originally frightened by the airship and speechless were all dumbfounded. They couldn't help but stretch their necks. Some of them fled desperately, while others just stood there and watched this foreign army break into the city in the manner of a military parade.
They marched in the Ming-style pace, and the soldiers looked ahead with resolute eyes, and no one turned his eyes to the Bolivians on both sides of the road. Their neat formation brought an unprecedented impact to the Bolivians, and this solemn momentum brought a strong sense of oppression to everyone present.
The marching style of the Ming infantry was unique to the empire, more powerful and more impactful. Two thousand pairs of military boots with thirty-six iron nails made only a roar when they stepped on the ground, a roar that even drowned out the airships overhead.
The officer leading the team held a command knife in his hand, and next to him was the flag bearer holding a high flag. This scene shocked all the Bolivians present.
While the solemn and mighty army brought them a spiritual shock, the sudden appearance of the Ming Empire army in Sucre made the citizens have an ominous thought in their hearts - since the imperial army appeared here, the army led by the president must have been defeated!
People will definitely think so because that is the simplest way they think.
The president has failed, enemy troops have taken Sucre, and what does that mean for Bolivia as a country?
Already perished.
