Chapter 77 Chapter 234 Peaceful Resolution, Convincing People with Reason
Chapter 77 Chapter 2.34 Peaceful settlement and convincing people with reason
When Zeng Lin got off the station, he looked curiously at this city without walls and fully open to the public.
The city is not super big, but there are plenty of equally open town spots that you can see along the way. This is an undefended city, a city that needs no defense.
After getting off the station, Zeng Lin discovered an armored fighting vehicle nearby. On the other side of the train tracks, there was an armored train with a turret welded on. The city's inadvertent display of steel armament made Zeng Lin understand that he should not initiate provocations here.
…
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten." "If you have steel in your hand, you will meet reasonable people."
Zeng Lin showed no ill intentions, and Wei Keng also received him warmly. ——Wei Keng reported to the organization: Ji'an City is currently bringing these mechanical war beasts, which shows that they still have sincerity in communication.
In 140, on the giant ship in Yuanhua, most of the fluorescent lamps on the ship were broken. Now the new arc lamps are a little dazzling.
Huang Yuhua, a man with a hot temper, asked Wei Keng: "Do you have a way to get him to sell those mechanical and biological combinations?"
Wei Keng explained patiently: "It's someone's favorite thing, how could it be sold? Unilateralism is unacceptable."
Sun Xiangyang asked with some confusion: "Then what do you mean..."
Wei Keng: "We can process the parts for his mecha beast and we can help them."
Lao Li asked, "Why do you want to help them?!" His tone was a little angry at this time.
Wei Keng: "The gang has conditions. We help him maintain biological combat machines, and he should also cooperate with us in reforming the old human settlements."
"Can't we beat him down?" Someone in the corner of the venue said angrily.
Wei Keng took a deep breath: "We can defeat it, and after defeating it, the external cleanup may be more thorough. But! What about us internally?
Comrades, we want to change the world, not bandits who come to seize territory. Our principle is to do everything we can to solve the problem peacefully, but the bottom line is never to give up force! And if we tend to use force when solving problems, our original intentions will begin to be revised step by step. "
Huang Yuhua: "I think you are delaying the problem, Comrade Wei Keng."
Wei Keng took a breath and said: "I respect your opinion, so everyone makes a list of which issues you think cannot be postponed, and I will discuss it with him! Indeed, the problem cannot be postponed. If it cannot be solved within the time limit, then we will discuss it. ”
…
After the meeting, the crew member found the relevant Wei Keng from his department for further detailed discussions.
Captain Sun Xiangyang also had a confidential conversation with Wei Keng: "Comrade Wei Keng, it's hard for you. The young people below are too motivated."
Wei Keng looked at the map of the country hanging on the captain's cabin: "It's nothing, it's work. It's appropriate to accept the opinions of comrades."
Sun Xiangyang: "Actually, everyone knows that you are the most determined proletarian. It's not that they doubt you, it's just that everyone wants to fight for the day and night."
Wei Keng paused, shook his head and said: "No one is the most determined, and external things can easily change a person. If you want to maintain your attitude towards society, you cannot be separated from the masses. It is right to remain suspicious of me, even if I often wonder if my intentions are unknowingly mixed with selfishness (from the position of interfering in this place in the main world, Wei Keng does doubt himself)
I have just seen more situations. Nowadays, some comrades have put in a lot of hard work and upward work, so they want a fast pace, but what about some comrades? Due to work reasons, I have been stuck at my post for a long time, and my understanding of the overall situation is not yet clear. And we need to coordinate the understanding of all parties. "
…
Pandora June 6, 141.
The Wei Kengs met with Zeng Lin, and Zeng Lin watched Wei Keng's ability to modify mechanical war beasts at Wei Keng's request. Wei Keng spent one night constructing the relevant mechanical sketches.
For Zeng Lin’s mechanical war beasts, Wei Keng proposed some new plug-ins. Such inserts contain high-sugar and high-fat energy blocks, mounted on both ribs. And a generator was added to make the structure of the mechanical device on the muscle ejecting easier. As for the rocket launcher device and bullets, they were also prepared for him.
After completing these modifications, Zeng Lin found it very interesting, so he took the residential train and quickly arrived at the west line, which is the area east of Zhanjiang.
Regarding Zhanjiang, Mr. Wei Keng has always been thinking about this place. Before the Great Depression, this was a large industrial zone with a steel output of more than 100 million tons, and the special steel in it was quite good. But the biomes here are tricky.
Every time Wei Keng approaches, the total node creature in the community immediately crosses the Qiongzhou Strait and goes directly to Hainan Island. It waits until Master Wei's combat troops leave before returning. Unless Master Wei Keng divides a team of a thousand people to station in Zhanjiang for a long time. And this is impossible.
Of course, there is another main reason for staying here, which is to leave a whetstone for the team of New Speakers in Zhujing District after the popularization of spiritual language.
…
Zeng Lin quickly discovered the large creatures here after entering the jungle.
The forty-meter-long super python emerged from behind the waterfall with a large amount of moss and barnacles. The three mechanical wolves belonging to Zeng Lin were loaded with metal bullet chains and quickly suppressed the fire. In a very short time, The whole head will be blown open. This creature can only sense by growing countless tiny tentacles on its head to replace the destroyed head.
But the black metal wolf painted in the rear was aimed at the tentacle wound on the head. This black metal wolf did not have heavy firepower, but the electric cold weapon it was equipped with was no less destructive than bullets in close combat. .
After the three electric drills drilled into the wound, the spiral blade popped out, immediately twisting the inside to pieces, and the amount of bleeding was comparable to that of spray mud on a pipe. Since the diesel consumed by the gasoline engine is not much less than the energy emitted by the combustion of bullets and gunpowder, the lethality is also at the modern industrial level.
Regarding the design of this drill bit, Wei Keng strongly recommended Zeng Lin to add it, which is the nemesis of large animals.
As the drill bit shattered the giant snake's body by seven or eight meters, the giant snake had lost most of its life force. All that's left is to insert the bomb and blast it. The killings left the smell of blood in the air, which irritated the jungle beasts.
October 4th.
After firing the bullets and diesel, Zeng Lin and Wei Keng's team packed up fifty tons of steel and immediately evacuated the area.
5:00 to 7:00 pm on the 6th.
During the evacuation, the only threat encountered was three waves of flying scorpions and bat swarms. The mechanical beasts carrying oil tanks on the outside sprayed in a scattering pattern, forming a blazing wall of fire within twenty seconds to block the pursuit of these creatures.
At 8:33 pm,
While sleeping in the open air, I was attacked by flying winged creatures swooping down from the sky. But the kangaroo-like war beasts on guard fought back. After the flying monster fell, these mechanical kangaroos immediately sprayed smoke bombs. The flying winged creature was caught off guard and fell down in the smoke without waiting for its fractures to be repaired. The mechanical war beast responsible for guarding. A spike directly penetrated the head of the four-winged flying beast.
On the 8th, all personnel and materials returned to their place of residence by train. Wei Keng and Zeng Lin began to distribute the harvest of this adventure.
…
At the railway station, Wei Keng said: "Thirty-seven is divided, I am three and you are seven." In the distribution of interests that does not involve principles, there is always not much contradiction.
Zeng Lin looked at Wei Keng in front of him, and then at the Wei Keng who were replacing weapons for the mechanical war beasts. He took a deep breath and said, "What are the conditions?"
Wei Keng looked at Zeng Lin: "I hope you can abide by the law."
Zeng Lin stared at Wei Keng and suddenly smiled. He said slowly: "No one has obeyed the law in this era for a long time."
Wei Keng: "I have many individuals, and when I deal with you, there are often only a few. But I want to treat each of them as equals."
Zeng Lin: "What about you?" - He was obviously talking about the lower-class people who were originally city-states. The problem gradually became serious.
Wei Keng raised his head and looked in the direction of Ji'an City. Zeng Lin also has people he depends on, such as his father and cousin. Wei Keng made the topic more serious.
After a while, it seemed that I couldn’t bear the price behind the silence.
Zeng Lin nodded and said: "I can accept most of what you said, but in Ji'an City, in a private fortress, I want to have absolute power."
Wei Keng shook his head: "You are free to identify the intruder and shoot after three warnings are ineffective. You can expel anyone, but you still cannot arbitrarily deprive others of their lives or detain others. In our case, there is nothing." The wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot." Wei Keng pointed to the sky: "The universe is bright, and no one can cover the sky with one hand."
Zeng Lin continued to remain silent.
Wei Keng pursued again: "As long as it's reasonable, I won't break the wall against you in the future."
When he said the last words, Wei Keng's body seemed to make the mechanical war beast who was following Zeng Lin's orders feel threatened, and he bared his teeth at Wei Keng.
The guards glared at these beasts, and then added: "Large combat beasts must have full safety measures on public roads."
Zeng Lin: "You have too many conditions, let me think about it."
Wei Keng didn't care at this time, and showed his cards Xinxin: "Since I said it today, we can't delay it for too long. I am now representing the 250,000 people in the entire New Pearl River. To tell you the truth, the war has already begun on our side. The upper management’s plan has been successful. And what I said today is just to set an example for you to solve the problem peacefully.”
…
In November, Wei Keng took Zeng Lin to visit the steel plant and the chemical plant. Of course, there was no mechanical beast to accompany him at this time.
When the red metal flows up from the groove reserved in the slag, it flows into the forging tank to take shape, and then is mechanically lifted and forged into standard metal objects, becoming part of the railway, construction steel pipe, and shipbuilding systems. At that time, Zeng Lin completely let go of his last obsession.
This kind of productivity was the production of human cities before the Great Destruction that had been recorded in his family books. If you want to go head-to-head with such a force, you will end up hitting a rock with an egg and overestimating your own capabilities.
In the end, Zeng Lin signed the regulations on the table on behalf of Ji'an City and Sun Xiangyang, the representative of the southern conquest forces. The two sides reached a memorandum, in which the upper echelons of Ji'an City gave up their privileges, and the Pearl River region also respected its old economic accumulation.
Regarding the confiscation of homes and land redistribution, the Yuanhua crew did not pursue the matter forcefully. Because in the process of trade, these old forces have completely lost their capital. The existing industries were all located in second- and third-tier counties in the civilized era. Now with the massive migration of the population, these areas in Ji'an City will soon become empty nests.
Since then, there has been a case of peaceful resolution in the Guangdong city-state, and this case can be used as a reference for other old city-states. Of course, there will be no situation where the Pearl River region continues to bargain passively. This case will be sent to the upper echelons of other city-states, ordering them to give a reply within a limited time.
And there is no need for Huang Yuhua and other passionate members to remind them. Wei Keng has already mobilized the war machine.
Wei Keng's understanding of history: the replacement of the old forces by the new forces, even if the conditions are good and most of them are acquiesced, there are still a few nail households with strong self-esteem. Only by killing them can a thorough reform be achieved, and if they are frustrated, other old forces will not succumb.
…
When Zeng Lin returned home with the negotiation documents, he received a cold response from Zeng Longmu, who was so angry that his son was so unmotivated that he cursed.
And Zeng Lin was also sure that his father was old. He had been in the cement fortress of Ji'an City for many years, thinking that the defense was still indestructible, and he didn't know that the times outside had changed at all.
Zeng Longmu's stubbornness would not affect the final attitude of the upper echelons of Ji'an City.
On November 12, the Tongfa Army began to attack Shaoguang City, a city-state in the north that resisted the restoration.
Shaoguang City seemed to think that it was in the northernmost part, separated from the Pearl River region by a large urban area, especially by Ji'an City, and the Tongfa Army would not choose a distant place over a nearby one.
However, they were wrong. The entire Pearl River logistics system has made great progress in the past few years. Packaged food, ammunition, and various camp steel pipes for living are all planned and packed according to standard freight boxes, and multiple transfer stations are established in the middle for transfer. The entire freight looks complicated at first glance, but it is all clear on the form. Mathematical planning allows the maximum output of transportation capacity.
Wei Keng's preparations for this logistics were almost redundant and wasteful, which surprised the leaders of the Jueming Plane: "This kid, how come he looks more and more like an American style." If it weren't for seeing that Wei Keng was still frugal in production, they would have doubted Wei Keng's identity.
On the 12th, they arrived near Shaoguang City, led by four Ares tanks, and rushed down all the checkpoints with Wei Keng's self-made armored vehicles.
The tracked tanks from the desperate plane encountered the earth wall obstacles on the road and crushed them without any resistance. The entire Shaoguang City became an isolated city within a day.
At 6:23 pm on the 12th.
At this moment, the city-state chief of Shaoguang City still did not give up, and set up machine guns and artillery on the city wall, and the mechanical war beasts also patrolled on the wall, trying to rely on the solid city wall to hold on. And he made a bold statement that he would make Wei Keng, the monster, bleed like a river under the solid city wall.
This act of resisting unification by force is ridiculous. The military generation gap between the two sides has opened up a huge gap, and the Tongfa Army has ignored the people here at all.
The mortar with a tonnage of five tons and a caliber of 300 mm was directly deployed on a high ground with an altitude of 200 meters on the front line. After the artillery was fixed in the morning on the 13th, the diesel engine winch was started to load the 200-kilogram warhead into the raised muzzle.
According to the regulations, everyone hid in the shock wave protection area on the side and waited for orders, and the artillery chief pulled the wire to ignite.
With the roar of the firing, the Tongfa Army closed their ears from a distance, and their heads were still trembling. The people of Shaoguang City heard the scream of the falling warhead.
"Throw~~~~" The warhead fell on the city wall, followed by the unbearable sound and light effect on the city wall, and the 15-meter-high blockhouse disappeared in an instant. A large number of bricks flew, leaving the surviving humans within a few hundred meters around covered with dust and blood.
Immediately after the first shot, the barrel was cooled with a water mop. Five minutes later, the second shell was loaded, this time to blow up the city gate. This magnificent metal gate then turned into broken steel fragments.
Then according to the artillery regulations, the third warhead can be fired. Then it is cooled. Wait for the heat in the barrel to dissipate.
After the three shells, a huge gap appeared in the castle. Some mechanical war beasts that did not have time to escape were also mixed with bricks and tiles with the shock wave.
During this cooling time, Wei Keng mobilized the tank troops to prevent the enemy from attacking the artillery positions, while calculating which important targets to hit with the remaining 24 shells in his hand.
However, Shaoguang City surrendered at this time, and a group of people ran out holding white flags during the interval of artillery.
In fact, Wei Keng's first shot blew away their morale. If the Tongfa Army had persuaded them to surrender at that time, it would have been enough.
However, Wei Keng did not believe that one shot could convince people with reason. He felt that the other side was so fierce that they would not be so cowardly. Maybe they should take two more rounds to show their respect.
As a result, the next two shells did not give Shaoguang City any chance to organize surrender, and they did not even have time to find the sheets for the white flag.
