1938 Is There Any Way?
In a beautiful manor, a group of very decent-looking gentlemen were sitting in the room. The door was closed, and there were many people patrolling around the building.
"I brought you here today because I have something very important to tell you!"
People remained quiet. They were Pengeo's aristocratic group, a very special group of aristocrats.
They have the blood of kings flowing in their bodies, and their country was conquered and annexed by Pengeo.
Their ancestors also became prisoners of the Pengeo Empire and became the playthings used by the Pengeo ruling class for fun.
After more than ten generations of hard work, they successfully transformed from the imprisoned survivors into the nobles of Pengeo, the lowest nobles.
Although the process was disgraceful, at least they got rid of their former identities.
There is an ancestral motto passed down orally in this family——
Only by living can you create miracles!
It sounds like a common slogan used to motivate people, but everyone here knows what it means!
Every generation strives for this, although over the years people's thoughts have become less determined than those of their ancestors.
Even the younger generation thinks it's good to be like this now. Although they are called "fools", "clowns" and other inelegant titles, at least they are nobles!
They can enjoy some privileges and are much more comfortable than the common people.
The head of the family took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, "The Federation people contacted me and they promised to help us restore our country..."
Everyone in the room was shocked and speechless by the news!
After a few seconds, some people had hesitation on their faces, while others became excited!
The head of the family looked at these important members of the family and continued, "I want to discuss with you whether we should reply to the federal people."
For a time, everyone began to express their thoughts, and a heated discussion began around the restoration of the country and the non-return of the country.
At the end of the discussion, a large number of people supported the restoration of the country, but a small number of people believed that this was not the best time.
"This is just a conspiracy by the Federation people. They hope to use us to hold back the Empire's power. Once they negotiate peace, we are likely to lose everything!"
Some opponents expressed their thoughts, and the head of the family nodded, which was regarded as acknowledging this.
However, he added, "The federal people gave me a promise that they will fight to the imperial capital, regardless of whether there is peace in the end."
"They need to use this result to let the royal family understand the determination of the federal people."
"And if you have seen the terms of the peace talks, you will find that the attitude of the federal people towards the royal family is very terrible!"
Those in favor expressed support, while the opposition seemed to be hesitant.
If we can really attack the imperial capital, there is no doubt that this country will be dismembered!
The myth of invincibility has been broken. They know better than the people of the Federation what this empire will become!
Once the myth of the royal family's invincibility comes to an end, those careerists will jump up!
No country or society can be harmonious from top to bottom!
Pengeo is no exception.
Despite the existence of the Council of Elders system, it is possible for the lower class to participate in politics, but class conflicts will always exist.
Not even the Council of Elders system can change this.
Nobles have always occupied and plundered social resources, but in the past people succumbed to the empire's powerful war power and did not dare to mess around.
Once people no longer fear the ruler's force, it is conceivable that many people will stand up against the royal family!
Including the nobles themselves, there will be people who will oppose the royal family!
Soon, this group of people came to a unified opinion. They also had a request for the federation, which was to send some young tribesmen to the federation first.
If they are unlucky in the future, they hope that the federals can take them away with them. This is their only condition.
The news from the federation was very quick, and they agreed to their request. Then they will arrange for people to come and talk in detail about things like the restoration of the country...
This kind of thing happened in many places, even in the north of the Pengeo Empire, where there were also some Pengeo people who were not Pengeo people.
Perhaps the founding emperor of the Pengeo Empire never thought that although his small hobby created the glory of the Pengeo Empire, it also hid endless hidden dangers.
Now, these hidden dangers are about to explode!
In addition to these survivors, many people at the bottom of society also knew about these things. For a time, people in the occupied area and outside the occupied area were all confused!
Especially some businessmen!
The situation of the Pengeo Empire is similar to that of Gaevra. They are both power-based national systems, and the role of power is infinitely magnified.
The influence and status of capital in the country is very weak, as it is now.
During the war, the capitalists controlled by the nobles must unconditionally produce various materials for the country.
Except for the raw materials provided by the nobles or royal families, all other costs are borne by the merchants themselves.
Since the war started, many businessmen have gone bankrupt.
The efforts of several generations have come to naught in one day, but they don’t even have the power to be angry!
They even dare not express their dissatisfaction with the nobility and the ruling class!
Some people will accept their fate, after all, they are facing an empire that they think is invincible!
But there are always some people who are unwilling to accept their fate like this!
How can you be willing to accept it if you don’t give it a try?
Some developments in Pengeo's country are being quickly reported to the federal mainland. As one of the participants who provided the entire plan, Lynch also has the authority to read part of the report.
The exchange of news is the best news, which means that some forces in the Pengjiao Empire are already interested.
They haven't made any move yet, it's just that they haven't discussed some details yet!
Many survivors have requested that they have a way out. They can raise a flag to oppose the rule of the Pengeo royal family, but they hope that if they fail, they will have to move their entire family to live in the Federation.
They had not had such an opportunity before to break away from the control of the Pengeo ruling class. Now that the opportunity arose, they had to fight for it.
And just as Lynch considered it, everyone knows that as long as one person is persuaded, no one else has a choice.
In early April, the surviving members of the Bolje royal family took the lead in sending electricity to the whole country of Pengeo. They would overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Pengeo royal family and restore the Bolle dynasty.
In a very short period of time, they gathered an armed force of about 25,000 people and occupied a city.
The Federals provided a large amount of weapons and equipment to give them the ability to fight against the Pengeo authorities.
In order to fight against the invasion of the Federation, the Pengeo Empire has withdrawn a large number of troops and sent them to the front line. Now the central and northern parts of the empire are very empty militarily.
Even if there is another conscription now, let alone how many soldiers can be recruited through two consecutive conscriptions, it will be difficult to solve the problem of weapons and equipment alone.
The more the federation fights, the faster its economy develops.
The world's major capital conglomerates have noticed this. The victory of the war and the rapid economic development have made the Federation's advantages snowball, quickly accumulating to a frightening level!
Now no one can stop it from stopping, and more capital is constantly joining in. The more the Federation fights, the richer it becomes, and the greater the return on their investment in the war!
On the other hand, the Pengeo Empire was economically sanctioned and neighboring countries were dragged down by Pengeo, and their economies had already collapsed.
The worse the situation gets, the more capital will flee. People are not optimistic about the war, and they are not as supportive as they were when the war first started.
War is essentially about exchanging numbers of people and throwing money at each other.
From the soldiers' pay to the copper sheets used to make bullets, it's all money!
Emperor Pengeo sent a message overnight to condemn these rebels, and at the same time mobilized the First Royal Guards Corps to suppress the rebellion.

Come and try it quickly. 】
Judging from the actions, it seems that the Pengeo royal family attaches great importance to this rebellion from within the empire, and even dispatched the most powerful army in the empire to suppress it.
But only those who understand the political situation of the Pengeo Empire can feel that the current situation of the Pengeo Empire is really bad.
The legion that defends the imperial capital is not used to suppress rebellions. From the time it was established, it has not been endowed with such attributes.
The reason for mobilizing the Guards Corps now is that the empire cannot gather a combat-effective army in a short period of time, so it can only take the risk of mobilizing the Guards Corps to do things they should not do.
This also exposed the current weakness of the Pengeo Empire.
No matter how much they brag about being able to mobilize 10 million soldiers, they cannot hide the real situation.
Having no money is really life-threatening!
His Majesty the Emperor obviously understands this truth!
"The number of young adults responding to the call-up is now very small. If the call is called again, it will probably only be able to recruit less than one million soldiers."
"And in terms of military expenditure, there may be some trouble."
One million people, even if each of them only gets a salary equivalent to 300 sol per month, one million people still have to spend 300 million worth of cash every month.
Note, it’s cash!
Then these people have to match their equipment, weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, ordnance... This is another huge amount of money!
The chief of the army gave the emperor a less than pleasant figure. If they wanted to continue conscription in a short time, they would need to come up with at least about two billion federal soles worth of cash.
The treasury of the Pengeo Empire is there, but this money has already gone somewhere. Once it is used, when it is needed, it may trigger even more terrifying problems!
Now is not the time when the war just broke out. In order to gain war dividends, the public can join the army with their own dry food and equipment!
The empire is currently at a disadvantage, and the people's willingness to join the army has been reduced. Without practical benefits, it will be difficult to persuade them!
His Majesty the Emperor could no longer see him half asleep and half awake, as if he didn't care about anything.
He was angry, walking back and forth, yelling loudly!
"Is there nothing I can do now?"
