European Financial Emperor - European Financial Emperor chapter 231

231 Survivors(2)

The ruthless carpet bombardment that was applied without the infantry unit’s entry began to push the Russian kingdom to nothing.

On the first day of the bombing, Russia announced that it would officially abandon St. Petersburg and retreat.

Meanwhile, Henry Astell issued a new order to his subordinate units.

12th Artillery Brigade Commander Benedict Roaster tilted his head when he received the order titled ‘Attack Timetable’.

“Are you going to set an attack time?”

“Yes, it is. By pre-determining the attack time, you disturb the enemy.”

It was to harass the enemy by randomly setting the time of the second attack after the first attack, such as 5 minutes, 30 seconds, one hour, and one day.

This was also the most efficient way to fill the absence of infantry units.

Benedict Roaster delivered this order to his subordinate units, and decided to change the attack time from this time.

That evening.

The 12th Artillery Brigade began to unleash an attack like a meteor shower on Moscow.

Shoo woo… … !

The multiple rocket launcher blew fire and gave off the signal of the attack.

Then, various artillery fires were fired one after another, devastating Moscow, Russia.

The Easterfield Federation issued a warning to the Russian people to flee to neighboring countries, and even gave them enough time to escape.

If anyone has escaped now, he probably ignored Easterfield’s warning or didn’t listen at all.

Henry Astell did this because he knew all too well that the genocide of civilians would be an indelible mistake.

Now that the burden on civilians was relieved, the artillery units poured firepower like water.

From Moscow, which had quickly become ruins, the remnants of Russia’s defeat began to walk out one by one.

“The enemy walks out. They seem to be running backwards.”

“The city does not occupy. The siege continues, firing intermittently until they surrender.”

This was the most important point of this operation.

He said that he would ban any act of immediately occupying the city or pursuing a chase to pursue the soldiers just because he destroyed the city.

If these prohibitions were followed, Easterfield would have been able to successfully capitulate Russia.

It’s been a day since they opened fire on Moscow.

Now the Russian soldiers came out one by one, wondering if Easterfield had stopped attacking.

“It looks like it was hiding in an underground bomb shelter and now it’s coming out.”

“Okay, we’ll attack again now.”

He took time to shoot, but that never meant showing mercy to the enemy.

No, rather, Henry Astell’s strategy was to tell them what true despair was.

Aww!

The artillery battle that shook the heavens and the earth began again.

Despite being beaten unilaterally, Russia occasionally counterattacked.

However, the bullet fired by the Russian artillery did not reach the Union Army of Easterfield.

The Russian artillery could not even come close to the Easterfield Federation Forces, which was pouring a siege from a whopping 10km away and fell to the ground.

“The enemy attacks, but it is useless.”

“You idiots. Are you just throwing money on the ground?”

“Later, if you collect all those bullets and take them home, it will save you some money.”

“Oh, there was a way.”

The reason why old-fashioned cannons cost a lot of money was that the material that made their bullets was all iron.

It took a lot of money to make and use those heavy iron bullets, and it was difficult to move them.

Even so, it was unreasonable to say that Russia made and used modern artillery.

This is because only Easterfield had the technology to make rear-mounted cannons now, and other countries were still in the development stage.

Russia was also developing a rear-mounted cannon, but it was still too early to commercialize it.

“Finished shooting. Stop shooting now.”

“Finished shooting! After we finish shooting, we will prepare our ranks.”

“What is the enemy’s damage situation?”

Adjutants compiled and reported the damage suffered by Russian units.

Of course, there will be differences from the actual figures because they are aggregated only by observation.

However, even taking this into account, the damage suffered by the enemy was extremely severe.

“We lost 125 shingles, and it appears that an underground bomb shelter collapsed, killing 1,500 people.”

“How did you identify the dead?”

“It seems that the shooting is over and the interlude comes and the bodies are moved, and the number of corpses is 1,500.”

“Hmm, so you mean you don’t even know how many people are injured?”

“Yes, it is. It seems that if we bombard for a few more days, we will hear the voice of surrender.”

“Okay then, let’s try bombarding them in the next few days.”

Meanwhile, Easterfield’s Central Intelligence Agency entered the occupied St. Petersburg and began an operation to find the enemy’s classified documents.

The intelligence officers who entered the city shook their heads as they looked at the enemy forces seen through the piles of ruined buildings.

“… … tttttttttttttttttt Then why would you sacrifice such a precious life to enlist in the Russian army, which is like a rebel?”

“But isn’t Russia their homeland? It may not be natural to fight for your homeland.”

Not everyone can choose a place to be born.

If you are born in a country that is at war because you are unlucky, or you are born in a country that is at war, you can’t be less fortunate than that.

However, it is also fate, and it is the path they must walk.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. Thinking that this is their grave, we will continue to conduct search operations.”

The first place to visit was the Royal Palace of Saint Petersburg.

The bombardment had destroyed the garden, and the main gate was completely unrecognizable, but the guards were still guarding their positions.

One of the guards died on the spot.

“Did he keep his seat even after he died?”

“… … Those who gave these orders are also crazy. They said they wanted to live, but they ran to the rear right away, and ordered the soldiers to guard the palace.”

“It may have been, but considering the pride of the guards, you may have thought that it was an honor to stand upright and oxidize here.”

The pride of the guards will be very different from what ordinary people think.

Even the members of the Central Intelligence Agency knew it well, so they did not have to close their eyes or cover them with clothes.

Rather, I thought it would be more honorable not to do that.

Quang!

He opened the door of the royal castle that had been tightly shut.

It was almost scrapped by the bullets, so it didn’t move at all unless you opened it with a hydraulic system.

When I opened the door, the scenery inside was revealed.

There were things scattered all over the place, and documents were scattered all over the place in a hurry to pack something.

In the middle, there was even a goblet of blood that appeared to be human.

“It looks like you ran away pretty quickly.”

“By the way, what is that blood? What did you do here to get blood?”

That was then.

A woman came down from a distance with a pistol.

“… … Raise your hand! If it moves, it shoots.”

“Huh! Was there anyone?”

“Shut up, raise your hands and get down on your knees.”

“Uh, huh? Lieutenant Juliana!”

Holding the pistol in her hand, she did not let go of the pistol even though her name was called.

“The dove in the hat!”

“beaver?”

Giuliana, who gave the password, was given the correct answer by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Since this is a password that only the Central Intelligence Agency and the military leaders know, it was useful when it was impossible to identify a peer.

Juliana let out a deep sigh.

“… … You are finally here.”

“Loyalty! You have worked hard all this time!”

“Yeah, well done. The captain of the Guard is very ill now. Hurry up and see the surgeon!”

“Huh! All right! Where is the captain of the guards now?”

“She is lying in the queen’s office.”

Members of the intelligence service made a stretcher by connecting the shards of cloth that were around and the body of the rifle.

Now on the way up to pick up the Deveron.

There was a huge amount of blood circulating here.

“Maybe this… … .”

“It belongs to the enemy we killed. To protect this place, he left as many as 120 people behind.”

The troopers couldn’t help but be surprised.

Since Deburon said he was ill, there would have been only three people left, but if that was the case, it was said that he had killed 120 people with only those three.

“… … Did you wipe it all off?”

“We are one hundred per day. You can’t lose in a battle in a narrow space, right?”

“Huh!”

“Sure, we had machine guns. I can’t lose.”

Juliana laughed softly.

Only then did the mystery of this great battle seem to have been solved a little.

Moments later, the door to the queen’s office opened.

When I went inside, there were bloodstains, but after wiping it off to some extent, it looked good.

Deaveron lying on his office desk.

His condition, sweating profusely, didn’t look very good.

“… … Boss!”

“I think sepsis is about to start. If you leave him like this, he will surely die.”

“Then why don’t we run away?”

“But it was not possible because of the intermittent bombardment. Fortunately, this is the safest place.”

“iced coffee… … !”

“What is the situation outside now?”

“We will not fire while we are in.”

“Then now is your chance!”

“I came by car on the way home. Let the captain go with you!”

“Yeah, let’s do that.”

“Then will the three of you return on foot?”

Juliana shook her head.

“We have something to find here.”

“Are you going to find it?”

“I have a feeling that the Queen has left behind something that might be helpful. So we’re going to scour this place as far as we can and find anything.”

“iced coffee… … !”

“You guys, take the captain and go.”

“Yes, I understand!”

The troops quickly moved the Deveron to the car.

They placed the sap from the first aid kit on Deboron’s arm and hung it well on the car’s sap hook.

“Sanitation Officer! Is this good enough?”

“… … I can’t predict either. Judging by the current state, it seems that sepsis has begun.”

“Shit!”

“Anyway, for now, we have no choice but to return to the garrison as soon as possible.”

The troops drove quickly.

If Devron died like this, it would be a huge blow to the Kingdom of Easterfield. So I couldn’t delay even for a moment.

boo boo!

As the vehicle shook, DeVeron opened his eyes.

“Cool! Cool! Who, who… … .”

“Chief! It came from the special operations unit under the Central Intelligence Agency! I’m on my way to the garrison, so be patient!”

“… … post?”

“Commander Henry Astell has come to Russia with his troops.”

Deboron smiled softly.

“Huh, that friend really… … .”

“Anyway, I came here to find the captain’s whereabouts, and I was really lucky.”

“… … Thank you.”

“no. It will soon be a garrison. Do not sleep and stay awake.”

“I see… … .”

Deveron bit his lip, holding back his consciousness.
