Wasteland Code Survival Chapter 917: Combined military power
On the surface, Jiange fortress.
"Huh, what's the matter?" The colonel who was urging his hands to dig the collapsed tunnel suddenly found out that, I don't know when the shelling of the Revolutionary League stopped, and no shells have fallen from the sky for several minutes.
"The shelling stopped?" The colonel's deputy also raised his head in confusion and looked towards the sky.
Except for the gunpowder that has not yet dissipated, those shells have indeed disappeared without a trace.
The deafening explosion was gone, which instead made the defenders and workers in the Jiange Fortress feel unreal.
"Will it be... the other party's shells are over?" the deputy asked tentatively.
"Impossible. Judging from the density of shelling by the opponent before, the base of ammunition they prepared is absolutely enough to support the uninterrupted shelling for more than 24 hours. Otherwise, the shells will not be as hard as money to our heads Smashed."
"Should we send out reconnaissance troops?"
"Now that the mountain is surrounded, it is difficult for the reconnaissance team to get out...In my opinion, the opponent should be adjusting the position of the artillery position, and their large forces should be attacked soon... Construction How is the progress?"
"The main body of the fortress has only completed one-fifth of the progress, and the priority fortifications have been half completed, but the outer fortifications have all been destroyed by artillery fire."
"No way, the number of near-defense guns is really limited. By the way, let them take advantage of this time to fill up all the near-defense gun ammunition, so you don't have to wait..."
Before the colonel finished speaking, a communications soldier hurried over and said a few words in his ear.
"What? The UGF's heavy artillery position was destroyed? Who did it?!"
"This news came from an insider over there. The Revolutionary League did not know the identity of the attacker."
"It's strange..." The colonel was very puzzled. As the temporary supreme military commander of the Jiange Fortress, the organization's battle plan would definitely not be kept secret from him, but as far as he knew, the council has not yet come up with a target The battle plan of the Revolutionary League’s artillery positions, how could the Revolutionary League’s artillery positions have been destroyed?
Could it be...there is a third party participating in the war? Or was it an elite secret force sent by the big man above that he didn't know?
But anyway, this is definitely great news for Jiange Fortress.
The Revolutionary League lost the support of heavy artillery, and the scale of victory tilted toward the organization again.
Organization headquarters, basalt chamber.
This is probably the most tidy meeting of the House of Representatives in recent months. The long table is full of seats, there is no empty seat, and even some newcomers in the lower order can only sit on the periphery of the table. On the newly added chair, I participated in the meeting in a manner similar to "auditing."
The entire basalt chamber was exceptionally quiet, and the councillors were all sitting in jeopardy. As for the usual whispering and whispering, it did not happen at all.
They all knew in their hearts that they were just a puppet...or, to put it ugly, a hostage, it was not up to them to organize this behemoth from the beginning.
The existence above the parliament is about to show up, which makes these lawmakers unable to help but hold their breath... The older generation of lawmakers may still have heard of the stories of the nine founders, but the younger generation This is completely ignorant.
The candlelight in the secret room suddenly flickered. Amidst the scattered light and shadow, a middle-aged man didn’t know when he sat on the position that originally belonged to the speaker, and the speaker who once represented the highest power of the congressman Your lord stood behind him respectfully.
The man is wearing a straight black suit, a full-covering metal mask on his face, a delicate lace bow tie on his chest, and short dark brown hair that is meticulously combed to look like It's a nobleman who is participating in a masquerade.
"Hello everyone, you can call...'Xia', Xia, Shang and Zhou's Xia." The middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with the atmosphere of the scene, and after looking around the expressions on the faces of the congressmen, he said Said.
His voice is deep, slightly hoarse, but it has a power that is hard to resist.
"I think you should all know who I am. Otherwise, you won’t be sitting here today. As for other things, I won’t say much. Everyone in this room is smart. To put it bluntly, starting today, I ask the consortiums and forces behind you to obey all orders of the organization unconditionally...Attention, it is an order, not a request, let alone a request."
Hearing this sentence, the facial expressions of many legislators changed slightly, but no one made a sound.
"You can rest assured that we are not trying to deprive you of your property, but now is an extraordinary period. We must unite all the forces that can be united to tide over this difficulty... You should also understand that if we fail, I’m waiting for you what the ending will be."
"So, does anyone have an objection?"
Xia's hands were interlaced and placed under her chin. The seemingly "kind" gaze swept through the two holes in the mask on each member's face.
"Well, since you all have no objections, to make a long story short, our time is precious, and there are a lot of problems waiting for us to solve... After all, I woke up to solve these problems this time. Coming."
Xia leaned back slightly and leaned against the back of the chair, while the speaker quickly stepped forward and slid a folder to the center of the table.
"This is all the details of the'Utopia Project' we currently have. If anyone has entered the game after the "Wasteland Survival Code" has been shut down for maintenance, you will definitely find that some very subtle things have appeared in the virtual world. , Changes that are not easily noticeable but are real."
Following Xia's description, several councilors looked at each other with deep approval. They really felt this feeling.
"This change is difficult to describe, but it boils down to only one sentence... This virtual world has become more real. As you all know, the main brain is trying to replace our reality with a virtual world named'Utopia' This shutdown for maintenance means that the architecture of the'Utopian World' has been embedded in the "Wasteland Survival Code". However, it is only in the testing phase, and we still have the opportunity to make our own choices."
"Return to the surface early. This is the first step in our counterattack plan. The Jiange Fortress is currently nearing completion. However, if we can't repel the Revolutionary League troops, then we will never be able to gain a foothold on the surface."
"I know that the consortiums behind you all have a large number of private troops. We now need to recruit these troops to drag the Revolutionary Army that is attacking the Jiange Fortress and buy time for the fortress." Xia's tone has always been calm. But this does not mean that the hearts of all Members present are equally calm.
A few words, they are required to surrender their military power. Obviously no one will be willing to...
These consortia have all experienced the "end days". They have witnessed the fall of the great powers that once "ruled the world". They deeply understand the importance of the army in this era...without an army, It is tantamount to losing everything.
Even before this, the organization only required "joint operations" for the private armies of each consortium, and the specific command power was still in the hands of each consortium’s own people, and the person in charge of the consortium was on the battle plan. They can still have a certain right to speak... But now, Xia is asking them to directly surrender the army and incorporate them into the organization's combat sequence. This is undoubtedly treating them as animals to be slaughtered.
This is no different from directly depriving the consortium’s assets...Those consortiums that have been tied to the organization’s tank are fortunate to say, as for those consortiums that only occupy less than 10% of the equity , This is tantamount to handing over the inheritance laid down by many generations.
The atmosphere in the basalt chamber suddenly became tense.
Xia is not a fool. On the contrary, his IQ should be higher than that of every congressman here. He naturally knows that these people will not agree to this request. Don’t look at them not talking now, it is just a threat from the organization. He is sure that if this solicitation order is really implemented, I am afraid that after these members return, many people will immediately turn their faces with the organization, and even join the camp on the side of the Revolutionary League.
This is just a test. It's like bargaining when buying vegetables. Neither the vegetable vendor nor the buyer can quote their reserve price at the beginning.
"I know that you are very reluctant...but I can guarantee that your troop numbers will be retained. What we call enlistment can actually be regarded as a kind of lease. After the war, these troops It will be returned to you in full. Of course, if there is a loss, the organization will also pay you compensation, just like the mercenaries of the old age."
"Furthermore," Xia Shao emphasized, "You can also send your cronies to serve as the commanders of the troops, just like the previous cooperative operations."
Although literally speaking, the difference is not big, but this time the battlefield is above the surface. The influence of these large consortia on the surface is not even one or two of the organizations. The commanders on board are their own, but do these commanders have real power and who else can understand?
There are still no congressmen speaking out. Everyone is fighting fiercely in their hearts. Xia has already spoken to this point. The possibility of wanting to organize another concession is very slim.
According to this request, we must be psychologically prepared to lose everything, and refusal will also fall into a difficult situation to return.
The situation in the underground world is very clear. It is either black or white. Either stand on the side of the organization or stand on the side of the Revolutionary League. The neutral camp does not exist. Even if it exists... it will be quickly destroyed and annexed. .
This is a chariot rushing into the abyss. Even if it jumps, it will be crushed by the high-speed rolling wheels.
"I know you are difficult to make a decision at the moment, I can give you some time to consider... But now the battle is fierce on the surface, the Jiange Fortress may be attacked by the Revolutionary Rebels at any time, I ask you to be able to Give me a clear answer within, otherwise...will be regarded as a refusal to cooperate."
At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed with the same but different feelings, leaving only Speaker Xia and in the basalt chamber.
"Will it... be too tight?" When the last congressman left, the speaker leaned close to Xia's ear and asked cautiously.
"Is it tight?" Xia's face showed a cold smile, "Do you think we still have time to waste?"
……
……
Although there is no threat of heavy artillery, the situation is still grim. With the huge casualties paid by the forerunners of the Revolutionary League, the Revolutionary League finally successfully conquered the Jianmenguan tunnel and reached the Jianmen of the old era. Close the building.
The revolutionary forces of the Revolutionary League have formed a semi-siege situation on the Jiange Fortress, and it is possible to launch a general offensive at any time.
As for the logistics units of the Revolutionary League, they have moved to the foot of the mountain at this moment. Tens of thousands of heavy tractor trucks are neatly lined up in the open space~IndoMTL.com~ It looks spectacular even from a few kilometers away. .
The attack on the artillery positions has increased the vigilance of the GUF, and saw many power armors carrying shields constantly patrolling the surroundings, and the steel structure towers with a height of more than fifty meters are equipped with a large number of searchlights. The entire parking area is reflected like daylight.
The command of the logistics unit is a mobile armored command vehicle. This command vehicle is parked in the middle of the position and is guarded by several tall mechas. These mechas are large-tonnage defensive type. Mecha, the firepower is very weak, but the weight of the armor occupies more than half of the body weight, carrying a general alloy tower shield like a city wall-for the G49 sniper gun, it penetrates the tower shield and the mecha behind the tower shield The problem may not be big, but after that the kinetic energy attached to the electromagnetic bomb has been almost consumed, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to the command vehicle.
What's more, this armored command vehicle itself is an iron tortoise, and the electromagnetic bomb at the end of the crossbow may not penetrate half the armor thickness.
"It's too scary to die, it's a bit tricky..." By means of optical camouflage, Qi Lin has been touching a place less than two kilometers away from the Revolutionary League's logistics forces, almost already patrolling the periphery. Under the nose of the troops.
"The opponent already knows about your existence, and has accurately estimated the ultimate power of the G49 sniper gun. This protective shield array was originally designed to defend against your snipers." The main brain said.
