Chapter 140: War Broadcast
The sun rises as usual.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sound of bells echoed in the room, and Baron Christian woke up from the soft and comfortable bed and started a new day.
He didn't sleep well last night. The vibration from the next room made him think that there was an earthquake. It was not until the vibration lasted for more than two hours that he was sure that it was not an earthquake, but a human tremor.
But there was nothing he could do about it. The top floor of this hotel run by a Sardinian was divided into two luxury suites. The people living next door must be rich or expensive.
As the prince's diplomat, Christian understood his current situation very well and would not cause trouble if he could.
At half past six, Christian, under the service of a servant, combed his hair meticulously and neatly arranged his clothes. However, he was not satisfied yet, so he used small scissors to trim his beard himself.
At six forty, he did not have breakfast in the room, but came to the restaurant on the first floor, where there was a novel talking machine.
There is also a note taped next to the machine that says "I swear to the God of Light that there is no one in the box - you can trust Vito".
After Christian came to the hotel last night, he heard the voice of Archbishop Victor explaining the "Sacred Scripture" from inside, so he spent a gold coin to find out from the boss that the radio program started at 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. Finish.
So he waited in the restaurant early to hear what the machine would say in the morning.
The diplomat arranged his time. If it was interesting, he would sit until eleven o'clock. At that time, it would not be too late to go to the castle to formally submit a letter of challenge to Baron Wesson.
There were many people who had the same idea as him. At 6:45, the restaurant was already full of people, and the boss Vito also turned on the switch in advance.
If it were in the past, there would be a burst of music playing on the radio at this time. This was someone from the radio station testing the equipment.
However, as soon as the radio was turned on today, a sharp male voice came from inside: "Wesson Radio, Wesson Radio, dear listeners, the radio station will broadcast an important announcement at 7:30 in the morning. ”
Everyone present was stunned. Only after the sound circulated several times did they realize what was going on. There was a lot of discussion for a while.
Christian frowned, feeling something bad in his heart.
He thought to himself, could it be Baron Wesson calling for everyone to beat themselves up? What can't a child do in anger?
But he still finished today's breakfast - peas and carrot noodles - leisurely, and then listened to what important things were.
It turns out that Christian was right to finish breakfast before seven-thirty, avoiding the tragic end of being choked to death.
At 7:29, every place with a radio in Wesson was filled with people, and all the villagers in the village gathered in front of the loudspeaker in the village square.
Far away in Lohr, Maria nervously waited quietly with her parents holding three Bichon Frize dogs.
At half past seven, a burst of impassioned music came from the radio. Ten seconds later, the announcer's deep voice sounded: "Please pay attention! Please pay attention!"
"Here is Weisenburg City, there is an important message here.”
“Brothers and sisters of Weisenland, all people who are righteous, peace-loving, and kind-hearted.”
"Yesterday, April 18, 1026, at 10 o'clock in the morning, without any announcement or warning, the Allied forces composed of the Land of Reese, the Land of Ansbach, the Land of Eichstadt, the Land of Roth, and the Land of Fürth invaded Our homes were burned: Natis, Balande, Skogath, Shiros and other villages."
"The war of the Wesenland people to defend their homeland against the invasion of the Allied forces has begun. , Our actions are just, the enemy’s conspiracy will be crushed, and victory will belong to us!”
For a moment, the entire Wesen Territory suddenly fell silent. The clouds of war have been hanging around for two years, and now, the thunder has finally fallen.
Weisenberg City seemed to have set off a tsunami, and the angry roars grew from small to loud, from far to near.
Countless people rushed onto the streets and gathered in the city center square, waving their arms and roaring.
Administrator Frick appeared in front of the Executive Yuan building above the square and began to announce wartime management measures, and his voice appeared on the radio at the same time.
Christian stayed in his seat for half an hour, the back of his clothes soaked with cold sweat.
He couldn't figure it out. He had clearly agreed to make an appointment to meet with Baron Wesson today, to send a letter of war tomorrow, and to start the war the day after tomorrow. Why did the war start yesterday? So what's the point of coming here?
"Quick!" He said to the servant behind him, "Prepare the carriage immediately and go to the castle!"
The carriage was quickly ready, but the intersection below the castle and the bank on the roadside had been surrounded by city defense barricades. Horseback riding and carriage were prohibited from entering, and only on foot.
Christian said to the officer of the city defense army: "I am the messenger, I want to see Baron Wesson!"
The officer asked him: "Do you have an appointment?"
Christian replied helplessly: "No."
The officer immediately said: "You cannot see the Baron without an appointment."
Christian immediately asked: "Where should I go to make an appointment?"
The officer replied: "The appointment is suspended now."
Now Christian was anxious, thinking that he was in the city of Cologne with the prince. His Highness backed up and yelled angrily at the officer: "I must see Baron Wesson today. If you can't make the decision, let someone who can make the decision come and talk to me!"
At this time, a man next to him The soldier said: "This man is so anxious to see the master, is he an assassin?"
As soon as the officer heard this, he took a few steps back and blew his whistle, and a large group of people immediately gathered around him.
The shield soldier at the front held a heavy tower shield in his hand. There were rows of spikes on the shield surface, and a frame with wheels underneath. In the shortest possible time, a shield wall was erected, with a shield wall between the shields. Pin connection.
Spears protruded from the gaps between the tower shields, and the spearheads flashed with electric sparks.
Christian and his servants were surrounded, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
In the end, Frick sent someone over after receiving the news, and the two met in front of the gate of the Executive Yuan.
On behalf of Baron Wesson, Frick took the declaration of war from Baron Christian. After reading it once, he threw it to the ground in front of everyone in the square, pointed at the opponent's nose and cursed angrily. : "Shameless! This is the most shameless and despicable evil act since the creation of the God of Light!! Even now, you still want to deceive us!!!"
Although the people in the square didn't know what this man was bringing, they just scolded him at this time, and the shouting and scolding could not be heard for a while.
Kristian knew that he was in the wrong first and could not defend himself, so he could only say a few polite words and then immediately left this angry city.
