Chapter 968 Combat Preparation
Bonaparte returned to Maple Leaf City with more than a thousand soldiers.
But at this moment, Maple Leaf City did not welcome Bonaparte and his group.
Because the ministers in the imperial court are already in a state of panic at this moment.
The Western French Empire in the south sent an army of 50 to besiege Maple Leaf City.
At the same time, in order to show Dayan that the Western French Empire had no intention of being an enemy, Gaius ordered the general to withdraw the rest of the troops back to the Western French Empire.
Only 50 troops were left to besiege Maple Leaf City.
The mercenaries in Tieshi City were ready to fight to the death, but now they were told that the Western French Empire had suddenly become a neutral force again.
The speed of face changing in Sichuan Opera is not that fast, right?
The commander of the mercenary corps was standing on the city wall, watching the departing Xifa Empire army. His eyes were filled with solemnity, but also a hint of relief.
Because if the Western French Empire really launched an attack on Iron Stone City, their mercenary corps would suffer heavy casualties.
For the military, it would naturally be a victory with heavy losses.
But Dayan didn't want this situation to happen.
There are always casualties in war, but we need to know why these soldiers died...
The mercenary leader understood that most of these mercenaries came for money.
They also care about their country and the world in their hearts, but more importantly, they care about bread, just to fill their stomachs.
So the mission of the legion commander is to bring them home...
Bonaparte returned to Maple Leaf City, but at this moment Maple Leaf City was in a state of panic.
Bonaparte originally thought that he would receive flowers and cheers when he returned to Maple Leaf City.
But at this moment, Maple Leaf City was dead silent. There were hardly any people on the streets, and almost all the civilians were packing up their things and preparing to flee.
There were only a few scattered leaflets flying on the streets.
Bonaparte was stunned, then picked up a leaflet that had fallen to the side.
I saw the big words above.
The 50-strong army of the Western French Empire will be at the gates of the city soon. Please leave as soon as possible!
The ministers of the New Western Empire are not all mediocre. They know that this is a contest between the New Western Empire and the Western Empire, not a contest between ordinary people.
So when they saw that the enemy was about to arrive at the city, the ministers immediately ordered the people to evacuate.
Because if we stay here, it will only increase casualties.
After all, bullets don’t have eyes…
This is why Bonaparte rarely saw anyone on the streets.
Because most of the citizens of the New West French Empire are running eastward.
To the north are Bonaparte and Dayan.
To the south and west are the war zones between the New Western French Empire and the Western French Empire.
Perhaps only the paradise in the east can allow them to live and work in peace and contentment.
In just one day, 40,000 of the 50,000 people in Maple Leaf City fled.
The other ten thousand people did not want to escape, but they were packing up their property.
In their eyes, property is more important than their lives...
Bonaparte was very angry when he saw the deserted Maple Leaf City.
He couldn't bear the people leaving him!
He had already prepared to defend to the death.
He even planned to gather all the surrounding civilians to Maple Leaf City as a reserve force in an attempt to fight the Western French Empire to the death.
Bonaparte did not realize that he had become the person he once hated the most...
In the past when he was full of vigor and vitality, he valued the people more than anything else, but now on the verge of defeat, Bonaparte no longer has his former pride, and instead looks like a wild beast whose head is blinded by anger.
Bonaparte quickly returned to his palace and began to discuss with his ministers how to deal with the aggressive Western French Empire and Dayan.
"Why are you all silent, my dear ministers? Tell us what you think and let us discuss it together!"
Bonaparte asked cheekily.
The ministers remained silent, but in fact they had already cursed Bonaparte countless times in their hearts.
The reason is simple: the current situation of the New French Empire is almost entirely due to Bonaparte.
If Bonaparte could control himself and not have so many evil thoughts, perhaps the story would be rewritten...
But there was no way, Bonaparte was too stubborn.
Ten years of forbearance had made him unbearable, especially after becoming the ruler of the New French Empire, Bonaparte's inner pride reached its peak.
So this is what is happening now...
Confidence is a good thing, but complacency is a terrible thing...
Seeing that the ministers remained silent, Bonaparte gradually became angry and then spoke.
"I didn't raise you to be mascots! I hope you can know yourselves! If the Western French Empire invades, we can't escape!
After all, you were also considered as surrenderists in the beginning, betraying the Western French Empire, do you still want to surrender again?"
Bonaparte's words were like a sharp bayonet, making them unbearable.
But they could not refute it, because everything Bonaparte said was true...
They are indeed capitulationists, but they also have their own dignity.
They surrendered just to allow the people in their territory to live a good life.
But Bonaparte devalued them to nothing, which made them very angry.
If it hadn't been for their help, Bonaparte might have been wiped out by the French Empire long ago.
Because the French Empire had assembled a large army to encircle and suppress Bonaparte, but Bonaparte relied on their strength to repel the French Empire.
Originally, the ruling class of the New Spanish Empire also had a piece of the pie.
But Bonaparte reduced their cake again and again, until they even didn't want to eat it...
But Bonaparte was happy, and no one else was willing to touch this piece of cake, so Bonaparte could enjoy it all alone.
"In that case, urgently recruit 15 civilians from the surrounding areas and have them form a temporary militia to defend the capital Maple Leaf City!"
The ministers were all dumbfounded after hearing this.
Their original worst plan was to use 20 troops to defend Maple Leaf City.
Try to repel the attack of the Western French Empire and wait for the assistance of the gods.
Because they are no longer willing to involve others because they naturally know that if.
Many ministers even sold their property for this purpose.
Because they knew very well that if they failed, they would certainly not be able to keep their property.
So they just put all their efforts into a top-level match.
But doing so is like throwing an egg against a rock...
But this is reality...
The son of a minister looked at the people leaving, and then looked at the order issued by Bonaparte in his hand, and then he tore the order into pieces and let it fly away with the wind...
Some people are truly alive, and some people live as if they are dead...
