The Pridwin airship has returned and docked at the docking port where the airport tower was transformed. The fire on the airship has been extinguished, but there is still a trace of black smoke coming out, which is caused by a short circuit. Dozens of technicians
Workers are busy on the airship, performing emergency repairs on the airship to prevent it from falling.
On the wide and empty runway of the airport, all the members of the Brotherhood of Steel who came to the Federation were disarmed and gathered here, waiting to be sent home. After a series of battles, there are still more than 300 members of the Brotherhood of Steel on the Federation side.
There are a total of 90 combat personnel including retinues and knights, and most of the others are skilled workers and civilian personnel.
Chun Yuyan was in the command center of the Brotherhood of Steel, negotiating with the three highest-status people in the Brotherhood - Inspector England, Inspector Quinlan and Inspector Teagan. The content of the negotiations was naturally about how the Brotherhood of Steel could surrender.
matter.
Chun Yuyan's attitude is very simple. There are three conditions: Liberty Supreme stays, all the Brotherhood's databases stay, all the Brotherhood's resources and equipment stay, and then you all drive the tattered Pridwin alone.
Airship to go home.
To be honest, Chun Yuyan really doesn't like the Pridwin airship. To put it bluntly, this airship is an enhanced version of the German Empire's Zeppelin airship during World War I, except that the whole body has been turned into metal.
And everything has been modernized, and there is enough space to set up factories, living areas, and flight decks.
Simply put, it is a war base, but this war base is too fragile. Chun Yuyan used two light howitzers, more than ten sets of Mistral anti-aircraft missiles, and two MI-24 Hind armed helicopters to defeat the airship like this. What if
If you really go back to the world of "Command and Conquer", a world of high-tech global war in the near future, you will probably be targeted in minutes.
Moreover, the production equipment carried by the Pridwin, as well as the supply and production line carrying capacity that is enough to support a regiment-level force in combat, are not of much use. Chunyu Yan had heard Lin Huo say before that in the world of "Command and Conquer"
There is a type of equipment called MCV, which is a base vehicle, which can directly support a local battle. However, this equipment can only be used by those at the Legion Commander level in GDI and Nod.
In addition, the Brotherhood of Steel still has a strong foundation in this world. According to what he learned, the real headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel is on the West Coast of the United States. The Brotherhood of Steel there is much larger, but I heard that it is working with a group called
It's unclear whether the NCR forces are fighting.
Then the Brotherhood of Steel in the east has its roots in the Capital District, and they have occupied the Pentagon as their base. Considering the Pentagon's status in the United States, one can imagine how deep their foundation is.
Therefore, it is better to let the Pridwin go back and sell a favor. Anyway, Chun Yuyan is not afraid of the comeback of this kind of airship, or in other words, he hopes that they will fly the airship over when there is another war with the Brotherhood, because this way he can relax
Shooting down the airship caused even greater losses to the Brotherhood.
"We cannot agree to the conditions you have proposed. The Brotherhood's database contains a large number of very dangerous technologies, some of which we ourselves do not even dare to use because we are worried that this kind of technology will cause harm to the world if it is leaked out.
"Inspector Quinlan said.
"You have no choice. You must know that because of you, both the Federation and the Volunteer Army suffered a tragic and unnecessary war. We suffered heavy losses in this war, and you think the little you brought
Can materials be used to make up for it? No! Absolutely not," Chunyu Yan said.
"In addition, Liberty Supreme cannot be left to you. We can dismantle it and take it away under your supervision, but because it has too much destructive power, we cannot let them be used by unprepared people." Kun
Inspector Lan seemed to have not heard Chunyu Yan's words and said to himself.
Bang!! Chun Yuyan slapped the table, and the metal table was immediately turned into a pile of scrap metal. He pointed at Superintendent Quinlan's nose and cursed loudly: "Is it right for you to use the Freedom Supreme? You guys again
What qualifications do you have to use Liberty Prime? Is it a prepared use method to let Liberty Prime go to the castle to kill, without caring that there are more than a thousand civilians in the castle?!"
"We were at war, sir," said Inspector England.
"Yes! War! In that case, I will leave it here. You must agree to all our conditions! Otherwise, I will get it myself! You must know that I am negotiating with you to give you face! I want to give you a way out!
Now if you don't eat the toast and get the fine wine, then don't blame me for being rude!!" Chunyu Yan's arrogance that had been restrained before came up again, and he pointed at the noses of the three inspectors and cursed them.
Superintendent Teagan sighed and said, "Then let the great elder make the decision."
"Great Elder? By the way, where did Maxson go? Is he really dead?" Chunyu Yan asked.
Inspector England did not speak, but turned on the communicator.
"I'm not dead." A communication suddenly came in from the public channel, but the voice was extremely hoarse, like a broken gong, making him a little unsure who this person was.
"I am Arthur Maxson, the former elder of the Brotherhood of Steel." Maxson seemed to understand Chun Yuyan's doubts and added another sentence.
"Former elder? What happened to you? Since you are from the Brotherhood of Steel, you should appear here now and surrender." Chunyu Yan said calmly.
"If you think my presence will be helpful to the future of the Brotherhood of Steel, then I will come."
"Then please, I can wait." After Chunyu Yan finished speaking, he ignored the three inspectors and turned back to sit on the chair with his eyes closed and meditative.
About ten minutes later, a man wrapped tightly in a tattered cloak was brought in by the Volunteer Army soldiers. Chun Yuyan's eyes suddenly opened, and his sharp eyes pierced towards him, but the other person was also a determined person.
In this state where I was in trouble for Daozu, he still remained calm.
The man stepped forward and lifted his cloak.
The skin was ulcerated, the hair fell off, and the nose and ears had almost disappeared. What appeared in front of everyone was such an ugly monster.
Even Superintendent England and the others were frightened. England murmured: "Elder... Elder... why did you..."
"I was exposed to excessive radiation in the core area of a large nuclear fusion plant. Although I was lucky enough to survive, my body has mutated. Now I can no longer be said to be a human being... I'm sorry..." Maxson said slowly
Xu said. His vocal cords were also damaged, making his voice hoarse and unpleasant.
Inspector England shook his head in pain and said: "No! It's us who should be sorry! You risked your life to get the beryllium oscillator and covered my evacuation. This allowed us to activate Liberty Supreme and have a last chance.
.But we completely ruined this opportunity..."
"It's not your fault, England. Because the volunteers are more determined to win than we are," Maxon said.
Inspector England wanted to retort, but she immediately thought of the volunteers who resisted Liberty Supreme with their flesh and blood, and the words she was about to say turned into a sigh.
Maxson then turned to Chunyu Yan and said: "As for the three conditions you proposed, the Brotherhood of Steel will agree to them all. But we hope there will be some restrictions."
"Say." Chunyu Yan nodded.
"The purpose of the Brotherhood of Steel is to collect unnecessary and super-standard technologies and put them under our control. This purpose is not out of ambition, but a way for us to bring peace to this land. Humanity
The struggle can never stop, but if the goals of the Brotherhood of Steel can be achieved, then no matter how mankind struggles, it will not have devastating consequences like the Great War.
At the same time, the higher-level military force possessed by the Brotherhood can also suppress some wars that exceed limits. However...last time you came to see me on the Pridwin, you raised several questions for me.
Now I understand that this is indeed something that the Brotherhood cannot solve." Maxson said, "I want to quit the Brotherhood of Steel not because I have become a wight, but because of this."
Chun Yuyan said nothing and continued to nod. The last secret conversation he had with Elder Maxson was the reason why he decided to be hostile to the Brotherhood of Steel. Because he found that Maxson did know the existence of those problems, but he believed that he could
solve this problem.
Those problems are actually very simple. The first is the problem of the Brotherhood of Steel being separated from the people, becoming a superior 'upper class', and discriminating against the 'lower class'. The second is how the Brotherhood itself ensures that those ultra-limited technologies will not be used by themselves.
Use to disrupt the original order.
Maxson always believed that these two problems could be solved through personality, morality and sense of honor, but facts have proved that neither personality nor morality nor sense of honor can do anything at all. The Brotherhood is still worried.
is to initiate Liberty Prime's advance towards the civilians of the castle.
"But the problem you gave me before is now in front of you. So, how will you solve it?" Maxon kicked the ball back.
Chun Yuyan smiled, lit a cigarette for himself, and said: "First, I will make a copy of the Brotherhood's database and take it with you. I will discuss the contents with you. You can specify in it a maximum of no more than
10% of the content, and I will guarantee you that the technology related to these contents will not appear in this world.
Second, Liberty Supreme must stay. But I will remove all the parts inside it, leaving only the body, and transform it into a monument to show everyone the bravery and sacrifice of the volunteers. Third, leave everything behind.
Supplies, except food. Yes, you can take the food away. This is my bottom line."
"I agree." Maxon thought for a moment, agreed directly, and then continued to ask: "But you haven't answered my question yet."
"The problem of the Brotherhood of Steel is not a problem at all for me. Because I will only worry that the technology is not advanced enough and the destructive power is not powerful enough." Chunyu Yan exhaled a stream of smoke and said.
"Are you planning to repeat the mistakes of the Great War?"
"No, it's simply because... there are many parallel worlds. The world we live in is just an extremely small one among countless worlds." Chunyuyan smiled, patted Maxson on the shoulder, turned and left.
The next thing is between Maxson and the Brotherhood, it has nothing to do with him.
…
The Pridwin airship slowly turned and flew towards the south. It carried the remnants of the Brotherhood of Steel. About 50 people from the Brotherhood of Steel offered to join the Volunteer Army and break away from the Brotherhood, and Chun Yuyan happily accepted them.
.
After completing the negotiations, Maxon officially announced to all Brotherhood members the fact that he had been exposed to radiation and turned into a ghoul. There are two types of ghouls, one is the conscious ghoul, which are mutated by nuclear radiation.
Humans. They are extremely ugly due to mutations, but they live very long and are not afraid of nuclear radiation.
The other type is the crazy ghoul. This kind can no longer be said to be human, because they have no consciousness or intelligence at all except killing.
The Brotherhood of Steel is a human-first organization, and their values prevent them from accepting that their elders have become ghouls, even if the reason is because the elders risked their lives and mutated in battle.
Maxon temporarily gave up the position of elder to Superintendent England, and waited until they returned to the headquarters in the Capital District to conduct the election of elders.
Although many people are unwilling to see Maxson leave, they have to accept this established fact.
…
The aftermath also began at about the same time.
Liberty Prime begins to be dismantled, retaining the shell, but all the parts inside will be removed, and then the shell is filled with cement. A base will also be poured, and the base will also store the body used to block Liberty Prime's advance in the castle battle.
The ashes and relics of the 279 victims of the heroic army were collected, and their names were carved on the outside.
The Volunteers also immediately informed the entire federation of their victory and made the existence of the academy public. In the announcement to the public, the Volunteers explained the origin, organization and purpose of the academy, and announced that all members of the academy would be expelled.
, never return to the Federation.
At the same time, the Volunteer Army also explained the situation of synths to all federal residents. They would issue equipment that can identify synths to all villages. However, they also announced that the existence of synths was legal, and a village of synths would be established to allow them to
Synths and ordinary people slowly get used to each other.
And the replacement of residents with synthetic humans will completely disappear and will never happen again.
As for the Brotherhood of Steel, the Volunteer Army also declared victory in the war against them, and the two sides signed an armistice agreement. The Brotherhood of Steel promised that they would never step into an area controlled by the Volunteer Army.
In addition, the Volunteer Army declared the gunman organization illegal, the existence of super mutants and crazy ghouls illegal, and plunder in any sense illegal. These people are the targets of unconditional extermination. However, the existence of the zombies was illegal by the Volunteer Army.
Set as legal and enjoy civil rights.
Ghouls and synths will legally exist as two other subhuman races recognized by the Volunteer Army, and the relevant laws and regulations will gradually be improved.
In other words, from today on, the Volunteer Army has become the sole master of the entire federation!
