Chapter 273: War Begins!
For the propaganda of Idar Territory these days, both the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, which is responsible for guiding the parade, and the Merlin News Agency, which is responsible for editing the newspaper, are extremely busy.
The printing workshop on the Golan Heights operates almost 24 hours a day, with workers working in three shifts.
certainly,
The effect of public opinion propaganda is not like the final exam in college, where you can achieve the goal of not failing the course just by working hard overnight.
From the day the Merlin News Agency was completed, Mrs. Dalia had been preparing for this day at Bruno's request.
after all……
In the inherent concept of most people, things like newspapers have always been understood by people who have a certain social status and can spell.
As more and more Idar people mastered more and more words, they were even gradually able to understand the general meaning of the Idar Daily, so... they would naturally believe in the content of the daily newspaper.
It is for this reason that using newspapers to let the people understand the serious situation facing Idar County is obviously much more effective than simple verbal notifications, and will also make the people more convinced.
Although the Idar Daily has not been published for a long time, it has become a new thing that is almost known to everyone in the Idar territory. Its content is in-depth and its credibility is guaranteed.
The people of Idar can always learn about everything in the outside world through newspapers, and can feel the changes around them through their own personal experience. At the same time, they can also feel the pressure brought by the Odin people from afar.
With each new issue of the newspaper, Lord Idar would make new progress, and at the same time, the threat from the Odins would gradually grow.
It is precisely under such subtle influence that for most of the people in Idar, the Odin people are simply a group of barbarians who are worse than pigs and dogs, executioners and butchers!
Of course, this is indeed true.
The information revealed to the public by the Idar Daily is obviously not all the intelligence Bruno has, but rather processed and not overly important news that can resonate with the public.
While the Merlin News Agency continued to make efforts, other departments in Idar Territory were also operating in full swing.
Under the spying of the Idar CIA, Bruno, Sam Layton and others even estimated the most likely time for the Odins to go into battle.
In Idar City, Merlin District, Gran Highlands, and even in Moor Manor west of Stranglethorn Vale, countless young men signed up to join the army, and the Idar people were eager to fight.
Bruno saw all of this, as did the people of Idar.
Driven by the group effect of the war petition march, the entire Idar territory began to operate at a high speed.
No need to hide, no need to be cowardly.
After three months of repairs, Idar County had already made sufficient preparations for this day! The combat strategy that was enough to make the blood pressure of the Odin people soar, and the war weapons that were enough to confuse the Odin soldiers, at this moment, Bruno had sufficient confidence in the Idar army! Almost every day, Idar soldiers would march north along Idar Avenue, and almost every day, horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts carrying baggage and food would arrive at the banks of the Solon River.
A state of emergency is a very serious matter.
On the same day, the Idar Lord's Castle issued the "Notice on the Idar Territory Entering a State of Emergency and Establishing a Military Control Zone" and the "Notice on the Temporary Recruitment of Logistics Troops."
A large number of young and middle-aged men in Idar voluntarily came to the conscription registration office in Idar City to register, and some even went directly to the Namur Fortress and clamored to join the army.
This time, the Idar army accepted all comers.
They are not regular combatants of Idar County, but logistical personnel temporarily recruited under Bruno's orders. After this war is over, they will return to their own lives.
Although they cannot stand at the forefront of the war like the regular army, they take up arms to fight to protect Count Bruno Stuart of Idar and the future of Idar.
However, they were able to rely on their own strength to transport the necessary military supplies for the war to the Idar army!
You know, in the plan formulated by Bruno, Sam Layton and others, the most difficult part is actually the guarantee of logistical supplies.
This is not the traditional "food and grass must be sent before troops move", but a real combat plan with the logistics support system as the core! The mobilization of troops is ongoing, and the propaganda of public opinion has never stopped.
Although affected by the state of emergency, the brightly lit city of Idar has entered a curfew, but this has not affected the enthusiasm of the people of Idar to take the initiative!
Instead, it was more like a shot of adrenaline injected into the people of Idar, strengthening their confidence in victory in the war.
Following Earl Dale, several other nobles smelled the danger hidden in the dark, so... they finally made up their minds and brought their families to the port of the Soren River and entered the land of Idar.
Among them, only one person, like Earl Dale, showed a strong interest in this astonishing "new world" before them.
The rest of the nobles left in disgrace after paying the toll which was tantamount to robbery.
On February 16, 538 of the New Calendar, the Idar military, the Idar Central Intelligence Agency, and the Idar Public Security Bureau established a joint wartime command to coordinate all matters related to the war.
That afternoon, Bruno officially announced in the lord's castle that "taking the initiative and advancing steadily" would be the basic strategy to be adhered to in this war.
February 18, 538 New Calendar, Merlin Special District.
Under the personal leadership of Idar Navy Commander Mal Karen, two three-masted warships of the Idar Navy sailed out of the naval port against the rising sun and the surging waves, and gradually disappeared in the mist where the sea and the sky meet.
Except for Bruno and a few senior generals of the Idar military, no one knew where their destination was.
On February 20, 538 of the new calendar, Idar's army had completed its assembly on the banks of the Solon River and its surrounding areas.
With Namur Fortress as the center, there are more than 3,000 Idar soldiers gathered here! That's right!
More than 3,000 people! Although compared with the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Odin's army, this number seems insignificant, but don't forget! Idal County is just a small earldom! !
Among the three thousand people, there are elite soldiers from the Idar artillery unit and elite backbones drawn from the reserve forces of Idar. In addition, there are also imperial soldiers recruited from the Mann Fortress.
Looking at the huge team in front of him, Sam Layton was full of confidence.
On February 21, 538 of the new calendar, the Idar army, with a total of more than 3,000 people, finally crossed the turbulent Solon River and marched proudly towards the vast land in the north of Idar! Today is over.
