Chapter 500 The 'Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Miles' Expansion Pack Ends
William's tone was filled with resentment, and he almost said this through gritted teeth.
He values the importance of industry more than any nobleman. Although those machines that are full of engine oil smell cannot produce honey or milk, they can help them rob wider land. Especially after this war, he believes even more
Only industry can save this kingdom.
It was precisely because of this that after the Alliance released him yesterday, he left Bicester Town without even caring about the remnants of the soldiers, and took only a group of light cavalry to the industrial area he founded. However, when he got there, the situation inside
But let him
Fell into despair.
The Alliance moved almost everything they could.
Except for a few empty factories and warehouses, there was not a single hair left for him in the huge park. Taking a deep breath, he tried to control his emotions and continued with a trembling voice.
"...I implore you to see Mr. Governor and ask him to put pressure on the Alliance to return the looted equipment and people to us." After hearing the child's request, Mongot sighed slowly and said helplessly.
.
"Mr. Governor will not help us... He even gave Griffin's equipment to the alliance. The war is over, kid, and all the cakes that deserve to be divided have been divided. Today we will only discuss the future.
There was one thing he didn't say.
Not only were they not qualified to share the cake, they were even the cake themselves. William gritted his teeth.
"Then at least...shouldn't those craftsmen be returned to us as prisoners? They keep saying they want to abolish slavery, so why don't we capture them as slaves?"
King Mongot was silent for a while.
"That manager really didn't get things done right. William was overjoyed to have regained hope. "That" Menggot sighed.
"They left the prisoners free to decide whether to stay or go.
William was stunned on the spot.
The nobles in front of the conference table were whispering, and Earl Cromway couldn't help but cursed and banged his fist on the table. "This group of robbers will be killed the next morning.
Taote, wearing a neat formal suit, arrived at the building of the Citizens' Autonomous Committee early, said hello to the doorman, and then went to the office while humming a tune.
This place used to be the house of the tax bureau. After the alliance moved the account books here, the old men with their noses in the air did not dare to come back, so this big house was given to them.
Ever since he became the chairman of the committee here, Taut felt that his identity was different from the past.
Especially the respectful and fearful look in the eyes of the nobles when they looked at him made him feel as if he had become a nobleman without a title. Even the king did not dare to let him salute.
In order to show his unique status, he specially found a tailor who made clothes for His Majesty the King and asked him to make a unique hat for himself. Of course, unlike those nobles, he had to pay.
Looking at the hat with colorful feathers on the table, Taote liked it more and more. He put it on his head happily and played with it in front of the mirror.
However, at this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. As soon as he looked up, he saw his secretary walking in in a panic. A trace of displeasure was written on Taote's face.
"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door?"
Looking at the displeased Taote, the secretary said in a fit of laughter and tears. "Don't worry about it... something bad has happened, the Alliance people are gone!"
Taut suddenly jumped up and sat up from his chair. He put his hands on the table and widened his round eyes. "The Alliance is leaving."
The secretary nodded nervously and said dumbfounded. "Yes... They returned to the airship early this morning. Although the airship hadn't left yet, they had already put away the anchor chain. They instantly lost interest in the hat on their head.
, Taut pulled it off casually and threw it aside. He stood up and walked to the secretary and asked anxiously. "Did they explain anything after they left? What should we do? What about the future? Should we listen to the Weiland people? Or should we listen to the king?
of?
The manager's indifference to them made him feel a little frightened. Thinking of the looks the nobles looked at him on the execution ground, his spine began to shiver.
The secretary hesitated for a moment and then spoke hesitantly.
"They say... people need to save themselves after all. They have already been here, and the rest is up to us." Taote looked at the secretary in front of him in confusion. He has been here on his own.
Looking at the hat he finally made on the table and the gun he leaned against the window sill, he just wanted to cry... Looking at the confused chairman, the secretary sighed, but they were...
A grasshopper on a rope. For the sake of his own life and the sake of his family, he still said patiently.
"Actually, things are far from that bad. The citizens are on our side. There are many veterans among them. They hate the Weirant people more than the Alliance. If we can unite them, maybe we will become a powerful force.
the power of."
"What's the use of uniting those people?" Taut felt irritated in his heart.
He knew better than anyone that those guys were a bunch of rabble, and I was afraid they would be put on the gallows with just an order from His Majesty the King. The secretary lowered his voice and continued.
"You have to give it a try to see if it works... The Weilant people don't have many guns in their hands right now. The newly arrived governor doesn't know anything about this place. They need us to cooperate with them, whether it's military or economic. We just need to cooperate with them."
They pretended to be cowardly and used their power to check and balance the palace. They may not mind that there are two kings in this kingdom. Taut calmed down. This is indeed a good idea.
The citizens' self-governing committees are representatives of various industries, and more than half of the city's handicrafts and industrial production are related to them) and the nobles can only contribute a little food from their own manors and land.
Unless the governor only wants to be a big landowner, he will not easily touch a group of nobles who have just met them.
The most important thing is that there is still a chance to survive if he gives it a try. If he does nothing, he will definitely die. "Call all committee members and representatives for a meeting." The secretary breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay sir."
While the Citizens' Self-Government Committee was busy meeting, there was also a lively scene in Bicester Town far away in the middle of No. 2 Oasis. On the roadside outside the east gate, Wedelier hugged the concrete pillar beside the road and watched.
He said to the two soldiers walking towards him with runny noses and tears.
"I'm not going anywhere! This is my home! I have dedicated my life to this place, and I want to stay here!" A tall soldier joked with a smile. "Wouldn't it be better to go back and be your baron?" Another
A soldier also smiled and said
"That's right, don't you have a Zhuangzi? Go back and be your master."
However, what the two of them didn't expect was that Wedelir's reaction became even more intense, and his crying voice even contained a hint of begging.
"I don't want it. I'd rather be a civilian." Just kidding. How could he go back?
Surrendering to the Alliance without resistance was already a capital crime, not to mention that he directly became the Alliance's lackey. Those who returned hated him. Especially the meaningful look in Prince William's eyes when he left.
At that time, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He was so frightened that he sent people to Oasis No. 2 overnight to pick up his entire family.
If he had known that the Alliance was not planning to occupy Oasis No. 2, he would never have licked so hard. But who could have imagined such a thing?
With the way the Alliance fought, they almost leveled the entire Falcon Kingdom!!!
The two Alliance soldiers looked at each other and felt that they couldn't let him be embarrassed here, so they walked up and pulled him up. "Get up."
"You can keep it if you want, no one will care about you, but don't block the way."
Wedelier was overjoyed. "You really won't drive me away." The soldier gave him a disgusted look.
"The manager said that if you want to leave, you can go back by yourself. If you want to stay, it's up to you. That gentleman has no time to take care of you."
After hearing these words, Wedelir finally burst into laughter. He let go of the cement block with a chuckle, patted his butt, and returned to the town with gratitude. Not far from where he blocked the road, the alliance's No. 1
The officers of the Second Corps walked through the barbed wire fence, walked to a group of prisoners sitting on the ground, took out their loudspeakers and shouted loudly, "The war is over, you can go home." Officers above the centurion level were released yesterday.
Most people didn't know what ceasefire negotiations were. At first, people looked at each other, and then some people stood up one after another.
A group of people passed through the open gate on the west and headed toward the wilderness. Seeing that the Union soldiers did not fire, they continued to move forward.
There are fewer and fewer people in the open space. Environmental protection and health
A large number of people chose to leave, but many others went in the opposite direction.
Several Falcon Kingdom soldiers walked to the inspection post. One of them, a boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, looked at the Alliance soldiers and said, "I don't want to go back." The Alliance soldiers looked at him. "Why?"
Preparation for new curriculum standards
The young man hesitated and said.
"I have nowhere to go." The soldier continued. "Where are your relatives?"
The young man was silent for a while and whispered.
"My father and my brother both left. Last month..."My mother also left. Let me stay, I can work."
Before the boy could finish his words, another hand was raised from behind him and he spoke.
"And me too...I am strong and can carry things."
"I used to farm! I can do farm work!" There were echoing shouts from behind, and he was obviously not the only one who wanted to stay. Some people who originally walked hesitantly to the door, heard what was coming over there.
After the movement, they unconsciously stopped. Although they didn't stay in the prisoner of war camp for a long time, thinking about it carefully, the alliance gave them a pretty good feeling.
Those people did not beat them with whips for fun because they won. The only thing they forced them to do was to let them repair the shacks they lived in. What surprised the captives in particular was that the alliance actually took the Weillant people from
I gave some of the food I grabbed to them.
This was simply unbelievable in the eyes of many of them. Those Wilantes had never treated them as human beings, and the same was true for the nobles of the kingdom, but in the prisoner-of-war camp, they unexpectedly treated them as human beings for a few days.
Even though they knew that the enemy was definitely not well-intentioned in doing so, they couldn't help but despair about the life after returning when they thought about the attitude of the nobles towards them. More and more people gathered around the inspection post, and the soldiers on duty had to deal with it.
A warning shot was fired in the sky, and at the same time a sentry ran to the commander to ask for instructions. Before long, there was an extra table in the camp.
Wedelier, who had a runny nose and burst into tears earlier, was arranged to sit in front of the table, and started shouting loudly with a loudspeaker. "If you don't want to leave, come here to register! Think it through before writing your name!" In front of the table
There was a long queue.
Some prisoners of war who originally planned to leave hesitated for a moment, but finally stayed, including some junior officers with the title of captain of ten.
In this way, as of noon, the prisoners stranded near Bicester Town had been demobilized, and 40% of the more than 80,000 soldiers were left behind, a total of more than 30,000...
Heart of Steel.
Chu Guang, who was standing on the bridge, received a call from Liu Ding, commander of the Second Corps stationed in Bicester Town. After listening to his report, Chu Guang couldn't help but feel surprised on his face.
."More than 30,000 people stayed."
He originally expected that there would be around 10,000 people, which would be great, but he didn't expect that more than 30,000 people would be left behind! What puzzled Chu Guang was that, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember what he thought about those prisoners of war.
What's better? How unworthy are the nobles of the Falcon Kingdom.
Counting the engineers and their families taken away from the William Industrial Area by the Stormtroopers, the population of Bicester Town is probably 40,000.
Although there will be no short-term impact, after all, the Alliance has collected a lot of supplies from the Horn Castle and the front line, but if things go on like this, there will definitely be problems with the supply of food and fresh water there. Sensing the administrator's embarrassment, Liu Ding asked in a deep voice. "
Do you want to dispose of part of it?" "That's not necessary." Chu Guang coughed.
"If they want to stay, let them stay."
Everyone has already stayed voluntarily, and it would look stingy for him to drive them away again.
Moreover, Bicester Town, which is under the direct jurisdiction of the alliance, can serve as a flag for the alliance in Luoxia Province. If it develops well, it will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the image of the alliance. The only problem is that it is all sand, and there is no "river"
"Dike" does not have expensive strategic resources, and its only value is probably its location. If agriculture cannot be developed, then industry can only be developed.
The military production lines moved from the Falcon Kingdom can be moved to Oasis No. 3 next door, which is within the Honey Badger Kingdom. As for the civilian production lines, part of them can be left in Bicester Town, where there is enough labor to work.
At present, both the Honey Badger Kingdom and the Falcon Kingdom are in urgent need of post-war reconstruction. The demand for some industrial products is still considerable. There is a young labor force and the equipment required for production. It may be difficult to make a fortune, but it is difficult to make a living.
You shouldn't have much of a problem yourself.
"...!! Let the Lion Kingdom Army leave the excess supplies before withdrawing, including food, fresh water and clothes. Winter is coming soon, and the temperature in the desert is not low. Don't let people freeze to death." He paused.
After a pause, Chu Guang continued.
"After that, I will appoint an official as the local governor and transfer a batch of supplies from Qingquan City. As for now, you first organize them into four construction corps and organize them to build their own houses to live in... Anyway, don't
Let them be idle. Liu Ding put his right hand on his chest, stood at attention and replied, "Yes"
Considering that Liu Ding was a rough man and knew nothing about urban planning and management, Chu Guang patiently explained some details of building a new settlement. For example, the center of the settlement should be placed east of the airport, and space should be reserved for the development of commerce and business.
Industrial zoning, etc.
The ideal group of the enterprise will provide technical support in the recycling of cement debris and road construction. The alliance does not need to worry about road construction. Chu Guang plans to set aside a foreign exchange budget of 100 million cr. After the alliance governor arrives,
Purchasing equipment from Ideal City based on local actual needs. Shortly after he finished explaining these things, the acting captain happened to come to him from outside the bridge and gave him a military salute. "Report! As of now, all units have boarded the ship.
, the anchor chain has been stowed, and the ship is ready to set off at any time!" "Very good."
Taking one last look at the sun-drenched survivor colony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, Chu Guang's lips curled into a faint smile. It was finally time to say goodbye.
King Mongot and the nobles must have opened the champagne excitedly.
But they will soon discover that it is too early for them to be happy.
Including the new governor.
Those people will soon discover the "surprise" the Alliance has left for them
As for what this surprise will eventually grow into, it will take time to test... The people living here will ultimately have to decide their own future destiny.
For himself, the war in Rongxia Province has come to an end, and there are more important things waiting for him to do now. Looking back from the window, Chu Guang looked at the acting captain standing aside, "Let's set off."
The captain gave a neat military salute. "Yes"
Just as the Heart of Steel was heading towards the desert, the Battlefield Atmosphere Team in a pit in Far West City also happened to be back online. Until the Heart of Steel set sail, he didn't even wait for the administrator.
next step instructions.
"Damn it... these guys have forgotten me." The battlefield legend who lifted up his pants muttered a curse, pretended to press the button of the flush bucket, and walked outside.
Since Grigren's death, he has followed the 50,000-man team to retreat to Far West City, which is located in the northwest of Oasis No. 2, to pass the boring time with the people of Weiland who are waiting to go home.
With the ceasefire agreement taking effect, the "Yellow Sand Ten Thousand Miles" expansion pack has officially come to an end, and the rewards for the expansion pack have been settled last night. Due to the heavyweight information provided previously, he became the personal general manager of the expansion pack without any suspense.
The one with the highest score! And he is far ahead of the second place by 50,000 points. But what’s the use?
Although I drew a bunch of valuable treasures, no matter how good the equipment I drew, I had no chance to use it.
Several of his good brothers were afraid of wasting it and wanted to use it for him first, but he refused without hesitation without even thinking about it! What a joke! That was the treasure he had sacrificed his life for, how could he let those guys
The shit has been taken away! If it had been taken by my grandson who is the most naughty, I’m afraid not even a scum would be left when he comes back.
Just when the warrior was thinking about who to stay for a while, a familiar person not far away approached him. He looked up and saw that the person walking in the distance was actually his immediate superior.
——Captain Velich. The warlord did not feel any surprise, he only felt troublesome. Recently, this guy has always been getting close to him.
Maybe it was because he was too busy after the defeat, or maybe it was to show that he valued himself. In the past, this person would ask his subordinates to give him a message, but now he would come to his tent uninvited whenever he had something to do, which made him very upset.
Uncomfortable and annoying.
It was obvious that it was the same this time. This guy probably wandered over to ask for help. The warlord even suspected that he had been waiting outside the latrine for a while.
Subtotal
Just when the warlord was about to take the initiative to say a few words, Velici, who was walking nearby, suddenly pulled him aside with a mysterious look on his face. "I have a good errand." "What errand?"
Looking at the smiling General Velic, Bian HuaShui instinctively became vigilant in his heart. After the battle was over, he wouldn't have to assassinate anyone anymore, right?
However, just when he was thinking this, Velici's next words stunned him on the spot.
"According to the ceasefire agreement, we will send two representatives to Vault 0 to investigate the legendary ruins with the Enterprise, Academy and Alliance."
"The Governor nominated his direct descendant, Commander Walli, to go there. However, Walli is a professional officer. Considering the dangers that may be encountered in the ruins, he needs a powerful follower to serve as a guard... Hearing from the Governor
When you meet your needs, I immediately think of you."
As he spoke, Velic stretched out his hand, patted the good comrade Pangolin in front of him on the shoulder, and cast an encouraging look at him with a smile. "This is not just my suggestion, General Yali is also very fond of it.
Be optimistic about your strength...seize this opportunity.
