Commander Simon, who is staying in Philadelphia, has been a little numb recently. The ruthless reality is too cruel, and a series of blows make him just want to get drunk.
When the world is in chaos at the end of the world, heroes will naturally rise up to take advantage of the situation and create a hegemony that will be passed down through the ages. The so-called "wake up to seize the power of the world and lie drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman" is nothing more than this.
When the Brotherhood of Steel was founded, there were only a dozen leaders. But after occupying the entire northern United States, regional commanders jumped out one after another, with more than a hundred in number. Now there are only about thirty of the more than one hundred people left.
If there are many, there are only seven or eight powerful ones.
Boss Ximen really hopes that he is one of the seven or eight powerful ones, but unfortunately he is not. Forget it if he is not one of the powerful ones, but unfortunately there is a powerful commander-in-chief nearby.
Originally, New York State had two regional commanders, and there were also several in Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. But now, except for Maine, which has two regional commanders that have not been annexed because of the distance, all other places have been annexed by New York State.
David Lawrence was killed.
Seeing that the regional commander in New York is getting stronger day by day, Boss Simon, who is staying in the south of New York, is almost worried to death. He has lost the lofty ambitions he had when the apocalypse came, and now he just wants to exchange the capital in his hands for something
money, and then go to New York to live in an apartment.
But while Commander Simon was still bargaining with Mr. Lawrence, he suddenly discovered that a robber had entered his home. They were really robbers, robbers who blatantly stole things.
One day, Boss Simon got tired of staying in the city hall and decided to go out for a walk. As a result, the commander unexpectedly saw his soldiers loading and transporting the helicopters assigned to them. Naturally, the commander stepped forward and asked what was going on.
Where to ship?
What was the result? Those soldiers told Boss Simon calmly that this was goods for the ‘Aurora Legion’.
Cargo? Cargo!
Did you big-head soldiers make a mistake? How could this be goods? These are weapons and equipment assigned to you by the Brotherhood, and you actually sold them as goods!
Do you still think of me as the boss?
This is the AH-64E ‘Apache’, the most powerful heavy-lift armed helicopter of the U.S. Army. The price of the whole machine exceeds 60 million US dollars. It is the best in the world in terms of power, armor, weapons and airborne equipment.
This is the bargaining capital between me and David Lawrence. I plan to rely on these things for my debauchery in the future, but you actually secretly sold them behind my back. Tell me, how much did you sell them for?
One ton is exchanged for one ton, and the "Apache" weighing more than five tons empty is exchanged for pork and canned fruits of the same weight, as well as "Supreme" instant noodles, cigarettes and spirits. These are in-demand goods and can be resold as soon as they are shipped to New York.
Make another big profit.
Poof... Sir Simon spurted out a mouthful of old blood - these bastards are really simpering. This is the equipment that I finally put away when I was angry and strong, and you actually just changed a bunch of cans and gave me a
The joy of taking advantage.
The best gunship in the world needs to be replaced with cans. It is really sad and crazy to tell you. You bastards, even if you have to replace it, please replace it more! It is so cheap that I, the commander, have no face.
But a group of big-headed soldiers expressed extreme disdain for this. If they don't change, others will naturally do it. Change it now before they starve to death, otherwise you won't know who will get an advantage in the future.
Regarding this blatant act of harming the public and enriching private interests, Boss Simon was furious and found that he was helpless. The guards around him were unable to do anything to these soldiers who stole and sold military supplies. The soldiers set up machine cannons, and they followed anyone who dared to stop them from making a fortune.
Who works hard.
Commander Simon was so angry that he immediately ordered other troops to suppress it. However, after contacting his subordinates, he discovered that probably more than half of the troops had disobeyed his orders in the past month. The lower-level officers openly defied their superiors and put them to death.
Their respective equipment was put out for sale.
After a casual investigation, I found out that selling an Apache is nothing. The New Jersey Brotherhood has been infiltrated by people. Some people not only buy equipment, but also sell precious military rations.
Due to the current extreme scarcity of fresh ingredients, the price of a tomato on the black market is even equivalent to the same weight of gold. However, the large amount of MRE military rations Simon obtained from the US military supply warehouse is despised. Ten tons of MRE military rations are exchanged for half a ton of fresh fruit on the black market.
.
Yes, the Brotherhood soldiers will rebel by eating MRE, just like those cans of Spam that Zhou Qingfeng got in New York. Fry Spam for breakfast, cook Spam for lunch, and stew Spam for dinner.
People are lifeless, no different from salted fish.
In the past, there was no other choice except MER. When ordinary people were still hungry, Simon was very proud that he could somehow fill the stomachs of his soldiers. He felt that he must be deeply loved by the soldiers. But now it seems that he has filled his stomachs too much.
After being full, the soldiers really couldn't bear it.
When the "Aurora Corps" arrived, fresh fruit appeared on the black market in Philadelphia. So the soldiers who were tired of eating MER military rations took out these precious supplies and sold them at extremely low prices. The soldiers wanted to commit suicide after eating MREs.
Said to take this garbage away quickly.
So ten tons were exchanged for half a ton, which really didn’t hurt at all!
When encountering this kind of thing, Simon found that he had completely lost control of the grassroots. Except for a small number of trusted followers and personal guards who lived a worry-free life, no one listened to his orders. This gave him a huge fear that he would have no power or power in the end of the world.
This is a sign that death is not far away!
The ‘Aurora Legion’ used a large amount of supplies to win over people’s hearts, purchased and dismantled a large amount of equipment and materials, and even lured away some of the only high-end talents in Philadelphia. It really only takes a mouthful of food, and people will follow.
The 'Aurora Legion' that occupied Washington was not a soft persimmon. They could not be beaten and blocked, and they could not be blocked. Boss Simon felt that he was desperate and waiting for death. At this juncture, news suddenly came that David Lawrence from the north had taken action.
Already.
As soon as the King of New York took action, the situation was indeed different. A small fleet blocked Washington's outlet to the sea, and the cargo ships that were originally unobstructed were either detained or turned back.
"Okay, great, it's best if these two forces fight. Neither of them is a good thing, so it would be best if they just fight until they are finished." After receiving the news, Commander Simon excitedly drank a whole bottle of 'Supreme'
'Brandy, there is great joy in the end of all hardships, the comfort of clouds opening and sunrise.
However, the always strong "Aurora Legion" failed to show any resistance this time. Apart from trying their best to use large passenger planes and heavy transport aircraft to maintain Washington's power from collapse, they did nothing else.
For half a month, even Simon, who had been watching on the sidelines, thought that this was not an evenly matched confrontation at all. He felt that the 'Aurora Legion' had obviously provoked an opponent that was far beyond his capabilities, and the countdown to the failure of its North American operation had begun.
It happened that at this time, Commander Simon hoped that the "Aurora Legion" would be tougher, because David Lawrence sent him a telegram, requesting to go to Washington via Philadelphia to attack gangsters somewhere and maintain regional security.
Borrowing the road? What if I borrow the road and I can’t leave?
"Damn it, isn't that guy named Victor Hugo very powerful? He hurt me so badly, why can't he do it when he meets David Lawrence? You should create some trouble for that arrogant man in New York!
"
Originally, he hated the 'Aurora Legion' to death, but now Boss Simon changed his position in an instant. And at this time, the 'Aurora Legion' really came to seek cooperation.
