The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 99: Crossing the occupied zone

The meeting ended hastily after Desais said these words, and everyone was full of thoughts and dispersed, preparing for the upcoming changes.

They dare not do such a dangerous thing as crossing the control zone, but everyone has several subordinates, and they can send their confidants to follow Marseio.

In their speculation, Marseio will definitely need manpower to establish a new government.

If you send someone on your side, you will be able to get into a big position. If you don't succeed, you will have another way out.

Everyone’s careful thoughts aside, Desais also fulfilled his promise after the meeting. In order to save the ship that was about to break down in the Republic of Cuba, he made all his efforts.

The "State of Emergency Law" was quickly drafted with the support of the draft provided by Marseio. There may be some omissions in the details, but the most important ones are nothing more than those.

What needs to be passed immediately is that the president can directly appoint a local self-government government in wartime. This government can directly send troops and do everything that should be done without going through the president and parliament.

Obviously, this clause severely weakened the authority of the central government and parliament, and even hit Cuba’s democratic ideals.

The most overwhelming thing is that this bill is not going to be submitted to the parliament for review, and the government intends to implement it directly!

The square, which had become restless due to quarrels and anxiety, immediately exploded upon hearing the news.

Fortunately, there are too many people. Compared with a normal administrative system, there are only close to a thousand people in the square, so it will not fall into chaos.

Excited congressmen rushed to the government building to ask for an explanation, but to this day, Desais finally figured it out, let them make trouble, at most his office is a bit noisy.

As long as the army still obeys the command, nothing will happen.

Of course, there are members who can influence the military, but these people are highly powerful, and the problem will be more long-term.

They understand that if they refuse to make a little concession at this time, they will end up playing it all.

In this way, while the parliamentarians continued to rant, Marseio's action began.

His own crew only had two entourages, and three of them secretly set off on the second day of the meeting.

In addition to the erosion of the situation, another important reason for walking in such a hurry is to avoid people sent by other officials.

Unsurprisingly, as soon as he walked on his front foot, a bunch of people came in the back yard, volunteering to help him lead the battle in eastern Cuba.

There are two considerations why Marseio avoided these people. One is that the more people there are, the greater the chance of exposure, and the other is that so many people know that they are going to leave, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will betray themselves to Spain. They should not be left with time to confuse the news.

In the end, the butler came out to persuade these people, and the plan given was that each would find a way to pass through, and then converge after reaching the three eastern provinces.

As for why Marseio didn't come out to meet people in person, he also found a reason to prevaricate in the past, which was to buy some time for the owner.

In the territory of the Republic, Marseio moved quickly and came close to the front line on the second day of departure.

The **** fleet cannot block the entire eastern part of Cuba. It is still possible to block both sides of an area. In addition, shipping has been terminated, so don't think about taking the water route. It is 100% discovered.

As for walking on land... it is still very difficult, but there are still some opportunities.

After all, there are only 20,000 Spanish soldiers stationed in Holguín and eastern Las Tunas, and enough manpower is needed to guard various important cities. It is inevitable that there are some omissions in the field defense, and the patrol is not particularly high.

If lucky, they might not even meet the Spaniards along the way.

Of course, this probability is too small. Marseio and his party still pretend to be a freight driver, and they have something to say when they are discovered.

It's not that he doesn't want to pretend to be a businessman, but Spain has banned all business activities and only allows basic food and water to be provided to the people.

After thinking about it, only the truck driver can have a mount and run around.

On the other hand, Assania didn't know that anyone was going to touch it under his nose.

He is having a headache now.

As the Holguin Province entered a state of military control, Assania became the de facto governor of a province. He needed to make decisions on matters large and small, and he was frustrated with little management experience.

Fortunately... it has been these few days. After all personnel have found his position, he can continue to focus on the affairs of the army.

At present, he is most uncertain about the colonial government army.

These guys are not good at fighting, but they are good at harming the people. In order to solve the problem of lack of manpower, he gave them the management of the Republic soldiers who had been captured before.

Only a few days later, there were many **** conflicts. The cause of the conflicts was usually that the colonial army wanted to **** things from the soldiers of the Republic.

However, the colonial army had guns in their hands, and each conflict basically ended with the shooting of several prisoners.

What's even more exaggerated is that, in order to provide for the needs of life, the prisoner of war camp is close to the city, and the colonial soldiers will enter the city from time to time to do some indescribable bad things.

It made the people in the occupied territories panic, and it also destroyed many soldiers in Spain.

As a new nation that is taking shape, this uprising was originally an important opportunity for Cuba.

It is very likely that in the struggle with Spain, disputes of interest will gradually evolve into ethnic disputes.

The actions of the colonial army are clearly accelerating this process.

But Assania was just an army commander. The colonial army and him belonged to a cooperative relationship. They only need to obey the orders of the colonial government. If he manages forcibly, it is arrogant.

But there are orders from above, no matter it doesn't work, in desperation, the only thing Assania can do is to report what they did to Madrid.

It's just...Cuba to Madrid, back and forth for nearly two months, Assania did not report any expectations.

This matter was due to the negligence of Alfonso and the others.

"Sigh." Thinking of this, Assania couldn't help sighing.

Just then there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." He restrained his emotions and said lightly.

The person who came was his adjutant, and the other party looked a little solemn, and reported to him the latest news from Camaguey.

"Oh~" Asania frowned, Marseio is going to Cuba...

He knows this person, and he is most likely to be the next Cuban president. He is considered a celebrity in a small Cuban circle and is known as a strict anti-Spanish and Cuban national fighter.

If he ran to the east of Cuba, it would more or less affect their plan.

After thinking about it, Asania found sadly that he could only continue to use the colonial army that he did not look down upon.

The Spanish army wants to maintain the front line, and it really can’t draw too much force for high-intensity patrols...
