"The military genius brought Zizhi Tongjian to another world ()" Find the latest chapter!

Although the center of the Frankish Empire has used the only remaining water resources in the most economical way possible.

Although Emperor Shade has never given up on finding a way to break the current desperate situation from that set of books.

Although the important ministers headed by Erwin never gave up hope and efforts.

But...the water resources stored in Belu City are still being consumed bit by bit.

There is only one consequence of failing to "increase revenue" and can only "cut expenditure" - the exhaustion of water resources.

The result was the same as expected by the Frankish Empire.

Half a month after all the wells in the city were abandoned, there was not a drop of water left in Belu City.

Ordinary purified water, wine, beverages, etc., all are exhausted.

When the central government was no longer able to distribute daily clean water to the citizens of the city, great uneasiness began to spread among the citizens and the defenders.

The uneasy mood triggered a series of commotions.

Not only did the defenders in the city erupt in rounds of riots, but the ordinary civilians in the city also vented their dissatisfaction by creating riots.

For example-colliding with major government agencies to find water sources.

"These officials must have hidden all their water" - this is the idea held by most civilians.

And these "efforts" they have made are naturally in vain.

Not a drop of water was hidden in the center of the Frankish empire.

Even in various places in Shade, there is no water supply at this time.

Not having water to drink is more deadly than not having anything to eat.

A person can survive for a long time without food.

It will take several days before I feel dissatisfied and anxious because of hunger.

But without water, a person cannot survive even three days.

It only takes less than a day for a person to collapse due to lack of water.

The important ministers in the center of the Frank Empire were also in chaos at this time.

Some people are still holding on to their posts.

The civil servants tried their best to appease the emotions of the civilians in the city.

The military generals led the troops whose order had not yet collapsed and went around to quell the riots.

But there are also many civil servants and military generals who have completely given up struggling.

Even if their superiors have assigned tasks, they remain unmoved.

They already know that Bailu City is finished.

Since everyone is going to be finished, it is no longer necessary to carry out the tasks assigned by superiors...

The coalition forces of the Britannia Army and the Hiran Army outside the city seemed to have calculated that Bellu City would completely run out of water resources during this period, and began to attack the defenders and civilians in Bellu City. Heart attack.

…

…

"Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! Surrender..."

The 380,000 troops shouted "surrender" in unison in Frankish.

The voice of 380,000 people gathered together - you can imagine how amazing the momentum will be.

The sound of "surrender" spread throughout every corner of Bailu City.

As for the psychological battle waged by the enemy outside the city, everyone in Bailu City was equally helpless.

After all, they couldn't ask everyone in the city to cover their ears and not listen to these sounds.

…

…

Frankish Empire, Bellu, General Headquarters.

There are only two people in the headquarters, Allen and Erwin.

Both of them looked equally bad.

Both had cracked lips from not drinking water for a long time.

Their voices also became hoarse from not drinking water for a long time.

"Prime Minister Erwin..." Allen said softly, "Has your Majesty given any instructions regarding this desperate situation?"

"...No." Erwin said solemnly, "Your Majesty is still looking at that set of books..."

"That's it..." Allen's tone was still neither sad nor happy, "Then...Prime Minister Erwin, how do you deal with this desperate situation?

Do you have any opinions of your own? "

"What do you think?" Erwin snorted coldly, "What else do you think? Of course, we will fight to the death with the enemy troops outside the city!"

"Fight to the death? It is impossible for the enemy troops outside the city to attack us now. As long as they continue to silently surround us as they are now, our military morale and order will collapse on their own."

"Since the enemy troops outside the city won't attack, then we will attack them!"

Erwin's expression became ferocious and terrifying.

"How could we surrender the Britannia and Hiram without firing a single shot!"

"Prime Minister Erwin... you should also know that judging from our current situation, we are no match for the 380,000 enemy troops outside the city."

"I know! But even if there is no hope of turning defeat into victory, we will continue to fight!"

"Let the Brittanians and Hiramites see our backbone!"

Allen did not immediately respond to Erwin's words.

Instead, he raised his head, which had been slightly lowered since just now, and cast a meaningful look at Erwin.

"...If we go out of the city and engage in a deadly battle with the enemy, many people will die."

“I don’t think it’s a wise move to pay such a heavy price in exchange for the so-called ‘backbone’.”

"Asshole!" Seeing that Allen dared to refute his words, Erwin cursed, "Alan! You are the commander-in-chief of all the defenders in the city! Do you think that directly opening the city and surrendering to the Britannians and the Hilans is the wisest choice?"

Alan did not answer Erwin's question.

He just kept silent.

"In short, while the defenders in the city still have some combat power, quickly start preparing to go out of the city to meet the enemy!"

"After the Britannians and the Hilans attack the city, I will lead all my servants and die with these hateful invaders!"

After that, Erwin got up and left the room without waiting for Allen to answer.

Looking at Erwin's back, Allen whispered in a voice that only he could hear:

"Erwin is not normal..."

Erwin's current appearance, like a gambler who has lost all his belongings, is completely different from his previous calm appearance.

But Erwin can't be blamed for this.

After all, it is too difficult to stay calm in such a desperate situation.

Allen looked up at the white ceiling above his head and remained silent.

After a long while, he shouted loudly to the guards outside the door:

"Help me call Rudolf and Erich!"

"Yes!"

...

...

In just a moment, Rudolf and Erich both arrived at the command room.

"At this time, I will no longer engage in some empty etiquette. For the convenience of calling, I will now directly call you Rudolf and Erich."

In the Frankish Empire, only very close people can call others by their names.

Allen's relationship with Rudolf and Erich is not close. If he calls Rudolf and Erich by their names, it would be a very disrespectful behavior.

But Rudolf and Erich did not respond to Allen's words.

Because in the current desperate situation, they have no motivation or mood to respond to such things.
