Chapter 730 A loud noise in the sky

Galicia, royal domain.

The agitators in Transnistria were not clever. Most of them had entered from Prussia later, and some were inexplicably found in the refugee camps.

The latter was easy to detect. After all, Franz registered all refugees entering the refugee camp in detail, so this group of people were isolated as soon as they entered and were closely monitored thereafter.

However, these guys were so unscrupulous that they simply ignored the Austrian managers and directly communicated with the refugees in Polish and Ruthenian.

In fact, most officials in Galicia can understand these two languages. After all, some of them are Poles or Uruks.

The agitators who entered Austria from the Prussian border were also easy to identify because they did not look like refugees themselves, especially when they were very resistant to the uniform uniforms issued by Franz.

You must know that it was not easy for people at the bottom to wear a new set of clothes at that time. Many people could not wear new clothes several times in their lives.

The reason why Hungary's single-clothed nobles are called single-clothed nobles is not because they like to wear single clothes, but because they are so poor that they only have one piece of clothing, let alone the nobles who are such commoners and serfs.

It's really abnormal for a refugee to refuse such a big offer.

There is no way, after all, members of the Polish Restoration Army are not nobles, but also intellectuals. Even those exiles have a good life in various countries.

No one has ever suffered, let alone imagine it.

Both London and Paris are supported by government subsidies and charitable institutions, and there is even a profit-making organization called the Polish Nationalist Army.

Switzerland is also very friendly to Polish exiles, and for this reason it is even willing to fight against the three countries of Prussia, Austria and Poland.

The target of the Kingdom of Sardinia is actually the Young Italy Party, but the Poles have close contacts with it and even actively join it. Alberto (King of Sardinia) will naturally not tolerate this group of guys who everyone shouts to beat.

In short, it is not difficult to identify the spies of the Polish Nationalist Army, but Franz is not in a hurry to find them. On the contrary, he puts these scourges into different refugee camps according to the grid.

Of course, Franz would not let this mob run wild. Wherever there were spies, he would send more preachers and missionaries to fight against them.

In doing so, Franz wanted to identify those who were weak-willed and unstable, and manually screen out those who were most suitable to integrate into the empire. At the same time, he also wanted to see how powerful his propaganda machine was.

As for relying solely on people's consciousness, Franz is not optimistic about this approach. Because of people's inherent social nature and genetic herd mentality, the crowd is very easily induced and triggers the herd effect.

The so-called herd effect can even cause people to lose their most basic judgment and become a mob.

Therefore, allowing the other party to carry out unilateral propaganda will not only expand the area of ​​attack and cause a large number of innocent casualties, but also make all previous efforts in vain, which is contrary to Franz's original purpose.

In addition to Franz's manor, some people dressed as priests also appeared in Galicia, Russian Poland, and Prussian Poland. They roamed the countryside and slums to build momentum for the Polish uprising.

Arsenal in Krakow.

Although Bartosz Slowacki was the commander of the Kraków City Defense Force, he actually only had a few hundred men, half of whom were military bands.

For specific combat effectiveness, you can refer to the Vienna City Defense Force in Austria next door, but by coincidence, Bartosz Slowvacs' headquarters is above the arsenal.

He had felt a little unlucky before, but he didn't expect that a disaster would befall him.

Faced with the Polish Nationalist Army, which was holding a large number of people hostage, Commander Bartos didn't want to risk it with eggs, but he didn't want to be complicit. After all, as a true upper-class person, he knew better than anyone else what the former was.

But as Bartosz was the commander of Krakow's city defense force, he could not openly oppose the restoration of the country.

So Commander Bartos suddenly thought of a way to "balance loyalty and filial piety", which was to directly blow up the arsenal.

In this way, both sides can make sense. If people from the Polish Restoration Army ask, he will say that the Austrians did it. If the Austrians come, he can take credit for it.

As for the rebel Commander Bartos, he naturally couldn't participate. After all, the headquarters was above the arsenal, so getting injured was definitely inevitable.

Having made up his mind, Commander Bartos asked his cronies to secretly blow up the arsenal, and on the other hand he took a few cronies to the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, Commander Bartos sent away the cooks and helpers with a few words. Then he turned the camp pot upside down and frantically used the bottom of the pot to smear himself. When he went out, he grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and poured it over his head before finding an alley. Hide inside and wait for the explosion before going back.

As for those who are still in the headquarters, they are naturally the victims. After all, the play has to be real for people to believe it.

On the other hand, the ranks of the Polish Nationalist Army are growing continuously. In addition to some of them being spontaneous, most of them are strong men who are pulled in by knocking on the door.

The method of recruiting people is also very simple and crude. That is, a large group of people stand at the door of a shop or residence, knock on the door and ask, "Do you want Poland to be restored?"

If you are willing, then come out and join the team. If you are not willing, then the dozens of people at the door are not freeloaders.

But even if you are willing, you must hand over your family's money and food to defend against foreign enemies. Just like this, one by one, a team of nearly ten thousand people developed in a short time.

When the team entered the arsenal in great force, several guards, although they had no orders from above, did not dare to stop such a large crowd and could only hand over the keys obediently.

However, when the door opened, the mechanism was pulled, and people could only hear something falling, but they were soon drowned out by excited shouts.

Following a series of loud noises, almost the entire arsenal was razed to the ground, with broken walls and bloody corpses everywhere.

The crowd that had been joyful just now, as if they were joining the celebration, began to mourn, and Commander Bartos walked through the ruins to express his loyalty to Landry Prome I.

At the same time, in front of the city hall gate, several members of the Free City of Krakow stood in front of the Polish Zionist Army.

They do not believe that the so-called restoration of the country can really succeed, and they do not want this last Polish legacy to be annexed or looted.

Although they did not know the secret agreement between Russia and Austria, they were certain that Krakow could not block the attack of the great powers.

"Bring out Landry Prome! We need to talk to him!"

shouted one congressman, but he was greeted only with jeers and curses.

"You old fools! Get out of here! His Majesty Landry Prome I has no time to see you. He is distributing weapons in the arsenal and arming the whole city to drive the three countries of Russia, Russia, and Austria out of our land."

At this time, a thunder sounded.
