Chapter 1199: Chapter 1199: Mommy, You Can Do It! (Part 1)
Inside Chicheng, things gradually cald down.
Across the Chihe, however, panic continued to spread further.
The capital of F City is far from Chihe, with the closest to the battlefield being Chicheng City, but in the Northwest, the capital city is the closest point to the battlefield.
This city is not like Chicheng, just a small town with a population of tens of thousands. The Northwest Capital is the largest city in the Northwest Region, with a population of over five million.
At this mont, the Northwest Capital also faces a situation similar to Chicheng City, or rather, it is worse here.
On the east bank of Chihe, in Gan Yuan’s territory, things remained as usual, not affected. After all, there is a larger area, and the war-affected region is just this vicinity near Chihe. The nearest is a little Chicheng, while other cities are far less aware of the crisis.
But on General Barton’s side, it’s completely different.
Due to concerns about enemy infiltrators, General Barton has already ordered the closure of all airports and train stations within the territory, leaving no chance for those who wished to escape the war.
The wealthy can use their money and connections to bribe airport staff and find various excuses to leave, but those ordinary people can only look longingly at the planes, staying in their hos.
Every day, the television broadcasts news regarding this situation.
A Country has deployed its troops.
Z Country has deployed its troops.
Now, adding the Y Country, where the Grand Duchess is located, the United Nations and various countries are condemning Barton’s actions. The international standing of the Northwest is evident, also revealing another ssage—they have no allies, forced to fight alone.
The opposing forces, when combined, are already more than double the total number of the Northwest Army. The opponent also has airforces and sea-based aircraft carriers, ready to act. With just an order from the Little Princess, they could instantly level the Northwest Capital.
By then, the wealthy and officials could escape at any ti, but what about the others?
They would probably have to stay here, at the rcy of others.
Precisely because of this situation, the citizens on the side of the Capital are far more panicked than those of Chicheng.
The Northwest Region, while vast in area, consists mostly of deserts and highlands, rich in minerals but limited in other resources.
The area is known for its at production, but most of the grains and vegetables are transported from the other side of Chicheng. Now, that route has been cut off, and this supply is quickly becoming a shortage.
Without official restrictions, rchants are making largess from war, with bread and vegetable prices skyrocketing. What could originally buy ten loaves of bread now only buys one, and still requires queuing.
The middle class can barely manage, but the people in the slums can only look longingly at the food.
As a result, robbery incidents have surged dramatically…
At this ti, General Barton has his entire focus on dealing with Gan Yuan, having no spare attention to deal with these issues. His subordinates embezzle whenever possible, handle things as they can, secretly arranging their own escape routes.
A series of events triggered a chain reaction, leaving the entire Northwest Capital in a complete ss.
Finally, the citizens could no longer tolerate the situation, collectively taking to the streets, starting demonstrations, demanding General Barton to et food needs, ensure personal safety, and quickly put an end to this situation.
During a military eting in the conference room, General Barton’s assistant knocked and burst in.
