Chapter 207 Chapter 621 Left? Right? Keep the Direction.

Chapter 207 Chapter 6.21 Left? right? Keep your bearings.

At eight o'clock in the morning on February 14, 154 in the Pandora calendar,

In the southern part of the Shandong Peninsula, near the newly built port in Xinlu City, the returning coastal security fleet passed through the sea mist.

Next to this rock fortress made of cement and stone, the ships that can be berthed are only 400 tons, and the cement piers are all at the level of river bank embankments.

However, just as the fleet flying the flag of unification approached the port, it encountered a contradiction that "although unexpected, it will happen sooner or later."

~

Please note that this is already the northern part of the Yellow Sea. The navy in the command area bypassed Jianye and went north to the sphere of influence of the Five Color Alliance.

The Tongfa District used another method to contact Qiantang Bay and several urban areas in Lianyungang. After successfully settling in, although there is still a long way to go before establishing complete steel, machinery, military and other factories.

However, warehouses that can store ammunition, machine parts, grain, and cloth materials have been established, and the maintenance industry that can oil cannon parts, clean and paint ships and machinery is also becoming increasingly complete.

These infrastructures are enough to open up shipping channels! In contrast, the repair of inland railway facilities is really much more difficult.

Therefore, this trade team sailing along the coastline can go all the way north until the route extends to the Qilu Peninsula area.

As for this small port, the Commerce Department of the Tongfa District helped Xinlu City build it in December last year. It has a fifteen-kilometer-long gravel road leading to the city.

Just two months of trade helped Xinlu City make a lot of money. A large number of cans, steel, firearms, ammunition, and cloth were flowing.

Xinlu City also opened salt drying fields under the guidance, and each time hundreds of tons of salt were pulled directly into the unified cutting area. There are also some industrial products such as aluminum ingots and copper coils that were moved from abandoned factories during the Great Depression. After the Great Depression, they could hardly even break open the scrap iron for smelting. These industrial relics are now the bulk of the trade.

~

However, such mutually beneficial trade cannot escape the supervision of the northern local forces.

Sometimes they don't value things that no one wants. Once someone comes to spend money to buy them, they feel like they are being stolen. This sentence can be applied to the attitude of the upper echelons of the northern inland city towards the trade of coastal city-states that they had no control over when the Qianqian Duyang District purchased large pieces of coastal marine gas turbines.

The Five-Color Alliance, a veteran force in the north, took action.

Ten days ago, the special commissioner from Taihang Mountain rushed to Xinlu City with his team. Complying with the demands of the conservative faction, they directly controlled the trade faction and then sealed the port.

And now, when the fleet from the command area comes, they have to stop it.

A black mechanical beast that looks like a Spinosaurus (with steel wheels on its belly to assist ground movement) and another mechanical beast that looks like a large pangolin blocked the ship directly in the deep water area in front of the dock.

The two special commissioners stood on the mechanical beast like the "two envoys of reward and punishment", confidently blocking it.

During the confrontation between the two sides,

The commanding area insisted on entering the port, because the port was invested and constructed by its own side, and its own materials were still stored in the warehouse.

However, the two special commissioners of the Five Color Alliance declared: "The South is illegally entering other people's sphere of influence, and all supplies have been confiscated." and refused to negotiate.

~

Under such circumstances, the Tongfa District, which had always had smooth sailing, could not bear it.

To use the captain's explanation afterwards: "Today he can confiscate it at will, and tomorrow he can rob it unscrupulously at sea! I can't swallow this breath."

Looking back on this matter, let’s make some assumptions.

If Wei Keng had dealt with it, he would have been more gentle. They demanded that the Five-Color Alliance release all those who cooperated with them, and used the fleet to continue to confront the coastline to put pressure on them.

This approach can ensure bottom-line benefits and is effective and controllable. The special commissioners of the Five-Color Alliance cannot keep the mechanical beasts submerged in water forever. Sooner or later they will compromise on this aspect during the confrontation.

And after recruiting people, at least the bottom line losses will not be suffered, which shows that the Tongfa District still has the ability and determination to protect the personal safety of its own people and those it cooperates with.

As for the material losses? The few benefits they have snatched away today will allow them to watch the edge of the controlled area rise into a new trade center next year, eroding the influence of the uncooperative conservative groups in Xinlu City, and then reap the benefits several times over. .

However, Wei Keng has given up on dealing with city-states for a long time. Therefore, the above-mentioned patient diplomacy cannot be implemented.

These comrades in the command area - well, I can't say comrades, they are young businessmen with swords - after three warnings failed, they sent the Marine Corps to engage in fierce conflicts with the special commissioners in the area.

The accompanying mage (Lu Min) in the conquest area directed a life-band ray, causing all the mechanical beasts five hundred meters away who tried to sneak close to the battleship to drown in the water.

Then the fleet's lifeboat fished out the two trainers from the Five Color Alliance and took them as hostages.

At 13:11 noon, under the reconnaissance of three Lugia, the enemy's location was determined. The Marines immediately calibrated the map through spiritual language, began to install biological guides on the warheads modified from 130 rocket launchers, and carried out targeted bombing of certain warehouses in the city.

In this tit-for-tat retaliation, the maritime power of the Allied Forces destroyed the warehouses in Xinlu City and the parking lot where transportation vehicles were gathered.

The accompanying Taoist Lu Min was also a ruthless character. He sat directly on Lugia, aimed at the life radiation group outside the city, and cast a series of life frequency spells, causing all the large mechanical war beasts of the Five Colors Alliance to "die of neuronal necrosis".

Finally, this foreign trade caravan dropped leaflets through Lugia: "We are attacking those who break the contract. Urban residents can receive rations and clothing in coastal areas."

The 2.14 incident, in which the Tongfa District and the Five Colors Alliance forces clashed directly, occurred.

The population of Xinlu City is 50,000. In February, when there is a shortage of food, food reserves are needed. Originally, the trade faction completed the stockpiling of food through trade with the Tongfa District, but with the conservative faction's seizure of power and the destruction of trade rules, the Tongfa District's commercial department took such radical measures.

Sixty minutes after the incident, the complete cause and effect had been reported to Hengyang.

Before Sun Xiangyang made some decisions, Wei Keng, the secretary who specializes in international diplomacy, emphasized the nature of this matter to Sun Xiangyang!

Wei Keng: "As the old saying goes, rituals, music, war and conquest all come from the emperor. This is an overview of the highest central power of a country.

With the current theory, we must figure out what kind of regime we are in order to eliminate the wrong path.

Our highest power is never for commercial capital. Our strategy is based on the interests of the people.

And now the caravan can directly mobilize troops. This shows that the fleet has seriously violated discipline! It would be fine if they fought a war, maybe they could find reasons to protect overseas Chinese and rescue partners.

But they also took the lead in expressing their opinions and thought their sophistry was successful. This is an unorganized and undisciplined, completely ridiculous act."

When Sun Xiangyang and other comrades heard what Wei Keng said, they turned their attention from "the possible attitude of the Five Color Alliance" to "the current cross-border behavior of their own East Line trade team."

Old Li, who is in charge of personnel appointments and dismissals, asked: "What do you think should be done about this matter?" The expression on his face when he asked the question clearly showed that he felt it was a bit of an exaggeration.

Wei Keng said seriously: "They must be dismissed and punished. Otherwise, they will no longer have boundaries in their future work. The center must directly send other people to clean up this matter in three parts.

Part 1: Ease relations with the Five Color Alliance and be willing to compensate for the accidental injuries to their personnel and the losses of mechanical beasts. Please note that we just hit them accidentally. Don't talk to them about invasion and defense, their special envoys are also outsiders to Xinlu City.

Part 2: Complain to the current group of people in power in Xinlu City and ask for negotiations on the breach of commercial contracts. In diplomacy, don't talk about who fired first, otherwise we will not be able to stand.

Our diplomatic purpose is not to ask them to compensate, but to ask them to apologize. As for the losses of the city, we must provide them with humanitarian aid afterwards.

Part 3 Part: This is also the most important part, which is the people in the city. The most important strategic task of our eastern coastline is to win the hearts of the people step by step.

We must remember one thing: once the war starts, no matter what the reason is, the people in the area will always feel the pain.

The reason for our current firing seems to be a commercial interest dispute - this point must also be corrected internally. Well, now that the face is torn, we might as well do a deeper grassroots work. We must win over most people this winter.

For this reason, we must also be prepared to set up a new base in the area. This requires a large number of responsible cadres to carry out organizational work in the area and let the area lean on our people for construction. ”

~

Similarly, Wei Keng also used the language of the mind to deduce the serious consequences of not doing so and letting it develop!

As an advanced party, the Tongfa District will inevitably produce compradors in the backward class during the process of industrial exchange.

However, in the process of industrial exchange, while producing compradors, progressives will also be produced. These progressives are now very poor and inconspicuous, but only they can be absorbed into our organization and govern the local area.

And now the special thing is that the Tongfa District opened fire in Xinlu City. The reason for opening fire is not to stand with the oppressed local people to seek justice, but for commercial interests. This is pure imperialism. It will inevitably push the progressives in the region away from us. What is the point of talking about "unification"?

This is like a tycoon in the 21st century talking to you about struggle and ideals. But after talking about all this, in practice, he schedules your Saturdays full of overtime, and finally when it comes to interests, he takes the money for exploitation. Although it is just a little bit, it is insignificant to his billion-dollar worth, and he never even bothers to take that little money out, but as long as he takes it, his words are farts.

The "Eastern Strategy" identified by Wei Keng: economic input and even sanctions and strikes can be used, but the use of force must be extremely cautious.

And there is really no way. Once you use force, you must be responsible to the end.

~

Sun Xiangyang and other senior officials finally listened to Wei Keng's analysis.

The eight committees voted and finally passed the "correction" plan unanimously.

This voting result is a bit exaggerated, but it is also expected.

Because now the decision-making power of the unified felling area is in Hengyang, and they are all members of the Migration North faction, and they have very little connection with the relevant interests.

If the vote is still held in Zhuxin City, it may be a situation of several to several. Because this will affect the trade in the coastal areas, there will be a large number of people who suffer losses in the decision-making level.

Two hours later, a communication from Hengyang came out, and a series of serious instructions were issued.

All the personnel involved in the firing were dismissed, and the officers were re-mobilized to handle the relevant matters. Chu Cang and Huang Yu were on the list of recruits. Of course, 343 Wei Keng, who had already landed on Dayuan Island, were urgently transferred as the backbone of the work.

~

The personnel of the Tonglu District arrived at the incident area on the An-2 transport plane within one day.

The working group held a meeting at 5:00 in the morning of February 15, read out the spirit of the Hengyang Center on the matter, and then began to deal with it intensively.

On February 16, negotiations began with the rulers of Xinlu City. Both sides completely ceased fire and lifted the blockade on each other. At the same time, the safety of personnel was guaranteed.

On February 18, Xinlu City agreed to release the trade faction, and the Tonglu District agreed to supply goods. The two sides had anxious negotiations on the damage caused by this war.

On February 22, in Xinlu City, there was a shortage of food in the slums.

And the bulldozers outside the city had entered the camp and began to recruit people in the city to join the construction. A large amount of follow-up supplies were transferred in, and clothes were provided for replacement and food supply was guaranteed.

The aroma of dozens of large iron pots boiling canned food blew into the city in the winter wind, attracting more people. This attracted a large number of people to go out of the city for free meals.

The cadres in the Tongfa District did not catch this kind of behavior of taking advantage. Those who are willing to stay can eat two bowls, wear our clothes and go with us. Those who are unwilling to stay can eat one bowl and take the coins back.

On February 25, Xinlu City was forced to admit that it was its side that confiscated the goods from the Tongfa District. Of course, this admission may be just a stopgap measure, waiting for the support of the Five Color Alliance.

But for the Tongfa District, this is enough. The upper class of Xinlu City admitted that "the commercial food transported from the Tongfa District was plundered." The announcement was passed to thousands of households in the city along with the materials that were aided to Xinlu City again.

This gave 70% of the lower-class people in Xinlu District such a feeling: the food that the Tongfa District wanted to give to the people was robbed by Xinlu City.

The Tongfa District opened fire this time because the "food that should have been handed over to the trade faction to distribute to the people" was robbed, so it can stand up morally.

On the 27th, the last day of February, the Tongfa District released two special commissioners from the Five Colors Alliance and signed a contract under the witness of the two special commissioners.

As for the next step, it is to discuss with these special commissioners of the Five Colors Alliance the compensation for the accidental injuries to these foreigners in this firing.

Regarding this loss, Chu Cang and others originally thought about whether they could save those mechanical beasts. They were all very confident in their own medical technology, but after the autopsy, they found that they were all dead.

As a carbon-based programmer who was crazy in this incident, Lu Min was very ruthless! He used multiple frequency bands, first causing coma, then damaging nerves, and finally did not forget to use some "radiation of phosphorus organic matter" to make up for it thoroughly.

This made it impossible for the trainers who regarded the mechanical beasts as partners to reconcile.

~

On February 21,

Chu Cang went directly to the confinement room to see the thinner Lu Min.

This guy poisoned himself and made himself less healthy. He relied on the blood pack technology to recover, but he also lost a lot of body tissues.

Chu Cang faced this junior brother: "Why don't you leave a way out when you do things?"

Lu Min raised his head and laughed bitterly: "I want to tell these adults who were born stepping on the backs of others, the times have changed."

Wei Keng, who was in charge of guarding next door, immediately retrieved Lu Min's information. Good guy, he came to the Tongfa District during the period of hostility between Gan District and Ganzhou. Someone in his family died in the driving and trampling of the upper-level mechanical beasts in Ganzhou. So-this is class hatred.

~

On February 27, the Tongfa District and Xinlu City reached a literal reconciliation, and also won the hearts of the people in the city.

What is the Five Color Alliance doing?

They got the news on February 17, started discussing on the 22nd, and the top consul made a decision on the 26th, and decided to send someone over on March 1st. The pace of handling problems is as slow as a martial arts conference in a martial arts novel.
