Chapter 792: A regime doomed to fail
Chapter 792: A regime doomed to fail
Urus naturally learned about the situation on the front line.
Urus could only rage helplessly in his office.
Because at present, the only troops Urus can mobilize are Joseph's 20 and some local garrisons.
As a result, Joseph was so procrastinating that the local garrisons naturally followed suit.
This made Urus very angry.
But he could only be angry for a moment...
On the other side, in the area controlled by the Urus regime.
It is autumn now and the fields are full of golden wheat.
People under the Urus regime are working hard.
Looking at the endless wheat in the fields, these orcs did not feel that it was difficult to harvest these things. Instead, they were full of fighting spirit.
Because this year's wheat is in the best growth condition, this is also the year they have the largest harvest.
And according to the policy, they can keep most of the food.
That's why they are so happy.
Because Urus has ordered that agricultural production and agricultural taxation should be carried out in imitation of Dayan.
However, these poor low-level orcs still don't know what happened...
An officer collecting grain came to the field and posted a notice.
Some literate orcs immediately came over.
But as soon as I finished watching it, the smile on my face froze instantly.
Because Urus regretted it...
Originally according to Dayan’s agricultural policy, the agricultural tax was only one-tenth.
But if Urus collected a tenth of the tax, then Urus would not be able to gather enough food to start a war...
So Urus broke his promise...
And according to the calculations of his subordinates, Urus must at least increase taxes to 60% in order to feed the million-strong army that is about to be expanded...
This is a full 50% increase in tax!
Almost all the lower-class people in the Orc Empire originally owed a lot of debts. Most of these debts were due to poor harvests and various things happening at home.
This year we finally have a bumper harvest, and taxes have reached an unprecedented low.
The orcs worked hard just to save more money for themselves, pay off their debts, and leave a solid inheritance for their children.
But all this was shattered...
The orcs collapsed instantly after seeing the notice.
Many women collapsed directly in the fields.
At this time, a dark cloud was floating over from the east.
The mood of these Orc Empire farmers instantly fell to the bottom.
We were already being forced to pay a 50% tax by Urus, and now we have to face this heavy rain...
From the church in the middle of the field, a clergyman rushed out in panic, shouting as he ran.
"Heavy rain is coming! Strong winds are coming too! Everyone, hurry up!"
When some orc men saw this scene, they forced themselves to cheer up and started to rush to harvest food.
If it really is windy and rainy for several days in a row, then the harvest of these grains will be greatly reduced...
This will make things worse for them...
This dark cloud is very large and seems to be floating over from the eastern sea.
Joseph's army also saw the dark cloud and witnessed the farmers rushing to harvest crops.
However, Joseph did not order the soldiers to help the farmers, nor did he order the soldiers to speed up. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to set up camp on the spot.
A large number of troops occupied civilian land.
This creates a dilemma for the farmers who own these fields.
Because I couldn't get too close, but the 20 people stationed there completely blocked a large field...
Moreover, these orc soldiers would not help them collect food at all, but would only waste the food...
Because Joseph's army was not a formal army at all, most of them were bandits recruited from the mountains.
Joseph's army was full of banditry.
A farmer saw his land being occupied, so he mustered up the courage to go to the army to argue. However, he was beaten by Joseph's army and thrown out half-dead.
This made the farmers feel desperate.
What about the things that Urus promised when he came to power?
Urus clearly said that he would create a beautiful new world for us, but what about now? What has changed?
What is the difference between when the Orc Empire existed and now?
Moreover, no matter how bad the Orc Empire is, it will send troops to help farmers harvest food when encountering such a situation.
Because the Orc Empire knew that part of this food would be sent to the national treasury.
But why was Joseph's army different?
These orc farmers are desperate...
80 kilometers south of Joseph's army, the First Army of Qingchi Kingdom was advancing rapidly.
The First Army has a total strength of 80,000 troops, with highly mechanized weapons and equipment, and almost the entire army is armed to the teeth.
The equipment level is the same as that of the armored division of Da Yan before modernization.
The entire First Army had nearly 2500 armored units.
As well as 4000 trucks of various types and 600 artillery pieces.
The First Army launched an attack directly like a cone.
The Second and Third Armies were fighting on both wings, but their firepower was only half of that of the First Army.
But the three armies combined with nearly 25 people were enough to sweep away the Qingchi Kingdom.
The top leaders of Qingchi Kingdom initially wanted to continue to increase the number of troops, but were rejected by the commander of the Second Guards Division.
Because the commander of the 2nd Guards Division knew very well that having more troops was not necessarily a good thing.
This will test the logistical supply capabilities of the Qingchi Kingdom.
Even the Wehrmacht itself cannot guarantee that it can supply logistical supplies to an army of millions at a time.
Adequate preparations must be made to ensure that the combat effectiveness of a million-strong army is not affected by logistics in a short period of time.
But as time went on, the highly mechanized Wehrmacht could not guarantee the ammunition supply to the front line.
What’s more, Qingchi is a small country that hasn’t even figured out armored cluster warfare?
Although the Second Guards Division did not take direct action, it sent some officers to follow the Qingchi army to observe at the front line.
And be ready to provide theoretical support to the Qingchi army at any time.
After all, Urus' army was armed with the scraps left over from Dayan, so only the people of Dayan were the most familiar with these weapons.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight without danger!
Joseph naturally received the news that the Qingchi army was less than 80 kilometers away from him, and then directly ordered the army to break camp and retreat.
Let me fight the Qingchi army? Urus, you are dreaming! Go and have fun on your own!
The orc farmers looked at the departing army and instantly smiled, but they soon saw the fluttering flag of the Qingchi Kingdom...
Their originally happy faces turned pale in an instant...
A demon left, and here comes a plague god...
(Good night(﹃))
