Ke Yiming and his wife did not catch up with the eldest lady's wedding because they had something more important to do, which was to meet Shen Feng's conditions and hand over the Three Gorges Dam. To accomplish this, they must The two of them went to persuade him in person.
When Ke Yiming met the general of the Three Gorges, he felt very sad, because now he was a gray-haired old man. He thought that when the two met, they were still in a high-spirited state, but it had passed. After more than ten years, I didn't expect that the other party would have aged to the extent it has now.
Chen Yide looked at Ke Yiming appearing in front of him and couldn't help but smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that you still have a conscience and would take the initiative to see me!"
Ke Yiming asked: "Mr. Chen, why are you like this now? I remember you were not like this at the beginning. You were in your 40s at that time and strong. You should be in your 50s now. Why do you already have gray hair? I can’t understand it.”
"As long as everyone gets old one day, there is nothing to be sad about. Besides, I am not a superpower and do not have a long life. I had already started to age when the oxygen concentration on the earth changed drastically. Now I probably don’t have a few more years to survive!" Chen Yide said helplessly now.
"I just found out about this situation now, which makes me very ashamed!" Ke Yiming said helplessly.
"Since you are already here, it means that you must have something very important to master, so you are here. Now you can tell what happened!" Chen Yide said directly now, although his body is already very strong He is weakened, but his mind has not aged yet.
For this kind of old people, they are used to seeing big scenes, so as long as they see the juniors coming, they can probably guess what happened. After all, these young people will not come to chat with the old man specifically if they are fine.
After Ke Yiming was silent for a while, he suddenly said: "I hope you can hand over the Three Gorges Dam to Shen Feng and let him manage the dam. In exchange for benefits, he will transport food. The most important thing is to transport food. The channel is Jinling!”
"Do you know what the Three Gorges Dam means? Do you know that as long as I hand over this dam, many cities in the middle reaches will perish immediately! Many small cities do not even have the most basic power stations. , so the source of power they rely on is a dam in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. If the Three Gorges Dam is handed over, what do you want the people in these cities to do?" Chen Yide then asked.
"Then do you have the ability to produce food? Is there any place in the world that can produce food stably for a long time? Please tell me!" Ke Yiming asked the general who once taught him, and now the reality is before his eyes. , if we can’t get food, everyone will starve to death. Do we still need to consider this choice?
"No one can produce food now, but it may not be possible in the future. In short, the power system must not be handed over. Moreover, this is a checkpoint in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. If this checkpoint is lost, then Shen Feng can just go down the river. Acquire a large area of land." General Chen said in a deep voice.
I think when he was guarding the Three Gorges Dam, one of his important tasks was to guard against Yuzhou. Yuzhou was the throat of the three southwestern provinces. No matter who gained Yuzhou, the main road was likely to pose a huge threat in the end, so he must We must prevent it from flowing down the river.
At the end of the last century, the Sichuan and Chongqing regions were divided into separate municipalities to prevent the secession of Sichuan Province. Since ancient times, the Sichuan-Sichuan region has been very isolated and difficult to attack. Therefore, in later generations, Sichuan and Sichuan were continuously weakened. First, Hanzhong was taken out, and then many counties and cities in the south were taken out, and then Yuzhou was taken out. Finally, Sichuan Province was finally prevented from forming a separatist regime.
It's a pity that things are unpredictable, and the whole world is changing too fast. I thought that this division was foolproof, but no one thought that the end would eventually come, and in the chaos of the world, Shen Feng occupied the universe, and later obtained After putting it on, he went south one after another and obtained the seaport and a large area of land. Now the only things that can stop him are the Qinling Mountains in the north and the Three Gorges in the east. Now if the Three Gorges Dam is handed over to Shen Feng, then Shen Feng will There really is no one who can punish Feng.
"It's okay, the nuclear bomb is still in our hands now. As long as there is a nuclear bomb, Shen Feng will not be too presumptuous. And I don't think he has the idea of expanding now. After all, there is already a situation of starvation outside, and there is famine everywhere. How could he be willing to spend his own food to save people?" Ke Yiming continued.
"I still need to think about this matter. Anyway, you should rest here for a while. Is this person next to you your wife? I seemed to have passed the Three Gorges before, but I didn't have time to greet her!" General Chen suddenly After a while of silence, I chose to avoid the topic and would probably go find someone else to discuss it.
After hearing this answer, Ke Yiming and Gu Yanxiao could only shake their heads helplessly, and then chose to follow the others to rest. They still needed to wait for further answers. Now they are also thinking about how to persuade the other party to agree with them. idea?
However, while having lunch, the two of them suddenly discovered an unexpected situation, that is, their food now only consisted of two bowls of rough rice. It seemed that it was still... Chen rice, although it has been cooked carefully, still tastes a bit chewy.
"Now I understand how to convince the other party to agree to this idea! Now they also lack food here, which is similar to us. Otherwise, they would not have such rough rice to entertain guests, and they would not even serve a bowl of wild vegetables. Come up, it means that all the wild vegetables in the surrounding mountains have been dug!" After Ke Yiming saw his lunch today, he figured it all out in an instant.
Gu Yanxiao immediately said: "But we don't have enough food to trade!"
Ke Yiming said: "Although we don't have enough food to trade, there are people who have enough food. Have you forgotten? Today's Shen Feng has the ability to produce food quickly!"
Gu Yanxiao understood that her husband's current idea was very simple, which was to continue to blackmail Shen Feng into handing over more grain, and then use it in exchange for the Three Gorges Dam. After all, only grain could impress the other party.
So during the evening conversation, Ke Yiming said: "Mr. Chen, through my observation today, I discovered that there is a very fatal problem in your army, that is, the lack of food. If you want to solve this problem, It’s very simple at all, as long as you do as I say, everyone can have enough to eat!”
"I didn't expect you to find out. It seems I can't hide this from you. I know what you want to say, but I can't make this decision now!" General Chen understood the purpose of Ke Yiming's visit, so he did not give any information. Clear reply.
Ke Yiming asked: "Are there many people opposed to this matter? So you can't make this decision!"
"It's not that anyone is objecting to this matter. After all, many of the soldiers under his command only eat a bowl of gruel every day. These people are eager to surrender to Shen Feng and then receive a treatment that allows them to have enough food and clothing!" General Chen gave He answered in the negative, and it turned out that the people under him were not opposed to this matter at all.
"Then why haven't you agreed to this? After all, as long as you agree, I can explain the situation to Shen Feng, let Shen Feng accept you, and provide you with food, but then you may change your location and replace him with I'm going to guard the Three Gorges with my henchmen, and you will go to other cities to guard. In this way, everyone can have a happy ending, isn't that good?" Ke Yiming couldn't figure out what the old man in front of him was doing. What to think about.
"Actually, this is also the thought of many ordinary soldiers. Many of them are tired of fighting and want to find a stable place to live their remaining lives. But I have more worries. I am worried about the future of China! If Shen Feng After obtaining the Three Gorges Dam, he is likely to become the master of China. Do you understand this? I have observed Shen Feng for a long time. He is a very benevolent ruler. He will not build large-scale construction projects and become poor for his own desires. He is extremely extravagant, but he is always caring for his subordinates!" General Chen asked.
"Even if this is the case, what's wrong? Anyway, if he has such ability, let him take charge of China's future. I still hope that he can help the world!" Ke Yiming still doesn't understand, if it is If you are worried that Shen Feng will control the fate of the entire China in the future, then what else do you need to worry about? He is very kind anyway.
"You don't understand, Shen Feng is too kind, so in my eyes, he can separate one side, but he can't decide the fate of the entire country from the fate of a nation, because he is too kind and will punish all kinds of evil under his command. If you turn a blind eye, even if the incident comes to light, you will often just make things worse. If such a person becomes the supreme ruler, people will definitely have no hope for the future!" General Chen said in a deep voice.
"Then I can't understand what you are saying, because looking at the whole world, the only places where you can get a stable life are the areas under Shen Feng's hands. If you think he can't do this well, then Who else can do this?" Ke Yiming did not agree with this idea.
General Chen thought about it and found that this sentence was indeed correct, because the advantages are all based on comparison. If you rely on feeling, you can't judge a person at all. Who is right and who is wrong? But as long as we compare the two people together, we can quickly figure out their worries.
Shen Feng is indeed more benevolent than ruthless. When certain policies need to be implemented, he cannot be ruthless enough to implement them. He often takes into account the feelings of most people, just like when he needed to send troops, he even needed to publish it in newspapers and the like. He creates momentum in the local area and then obtains the consent of the majority of people before he can implement it. If he is a really tough ruler, he can directly bypass these people and implement his own plan. But compared with people in other places, he He looks very strong, and he can be regarded as the taller one among the short ones.
"In fact, in my opinion, there is He Qiu'an from the Northeast who can take on the important task! He has been guided by the marshal since he was a child, and he can handle all kinds of things well. And although he is still young, he has already taken charge of the huge land in the three provinces of Northeast China. After entering After taking over Shanhaiguan, he also controlled a small part of the North China Plain. I think he also has hope of competing in the world!" Chen Yide suddenly said.
"It's a pity that the Northeast is too far from the Three Gorges Dam here, and you can't take refuge in it. It's better to think about the solution in front of you. For now, this is the only way! It's better to make a decision quickly. Go!" Ke Yiming urged.
"Now that you have made the decision for me, what else do you need me to do? Contact Shen Feng and ask him to accept the Three Gorges Dam, but I also have a request, which is to let him distribute 100,000 tons of grain. , Saving people in these cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River should not be too much, right?" Chen Yide finally made a difficult decision. In fact, he knew from the beginning that he had no room for change.
Ke Yiming said: "I still need to contact Shen Feng about this matter and let him make a decision!"
Then, Ke Yiming informed Shen Feng of the situation, but Shen Feng replied: "It's ridiculous to want 100,000 tons of grain. Where do we have so much grain? At most, it's 10,000 tons. Don't forget it! Anyway, wait until In a few months, there won’t be many living people on the Three Gorges Dam. If I take over the place then, wouldn’t it be over? As for the food you need in Jinling, there will be no problem in transporting it out by rail!"
Ke Yiming conveyed the original words to Chen Yide, but the old man's eyes were gloomy and he could only nod in agreement.
So after the two sides discussed it, Shunfeng flew up from the universe and came all the way to the Three Gorges. Later, a group of troops would come here to replace the defenders of the Three Gorges, while other troops here and their families would They will be moved to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River to live.
