"The cumulative number of casualties is 63,000, the death toll is determined to be more than 12,000, and the number of missing is more than 110,000. And this is only the loss of New Tonia City's sphere of influence, and the loss of Horn City will definitely not be less than ours. ”

War is always the most cruel and severe disaster, a war that lasts for a month can drag down a small country, and a bitter battle that lasts for about a week still causes indelible losses.

At the first internal meeting of the game church after the disaster, listening to the report and looking at the shocking casualty figures, Rorschach was really a little unacceptable.

"That's more than twice as high as expected, how can there be so many. The rescue should have gone well...... Oh, I see, it's the 'grey list'. ”

Frowning, Rorschach, feeling more and more tired, also became more and more upset by the report in front of him.

He had just returned from the 20-member board, the first collective meeting of the new 14+2 board to be exact, but not only was there no good news, but it was full of blame and blame.

And Rorschach and the Church of Games, since they are part of this city, naturally it is impossible to stay out of it.

On the contrary, there is an unusually heavy responsibility on Rorschach's shoulders.

The next step is to start the news work, and most of the people are very eager to know what is happening, as the leading media company "Absolutely True", can this casualty figure really be reported? Will there be a large-scale refugee wave and panic after the report?

"Nearly 100,000 casualties and missing people in a city with a population of one million? What are you kidding? Are we really going to make these things public?"

Most citizens should think that this number is watery, after all, their lives will not change anytime soon.

But what Rorschach heard from the board was that it was a conservative estimate, and to be precise, a bit of a gray area hidden in the night.

The current sphere of influence of New Winteria City is too large, and the mining areas and factory branches in the wasteland are very wide, even if the thunder season has caused people to return to the city, there are still many underground factories and mining areas that have done a good job of lightning protection facilities......... Most of them are not in the official asset registry.

In this way, taxes can be reduced and ultra-cheap labor can be used........ to put it bluntly, it is the use of slaves, war criminals, foreign people have no human rights in the small black kiln, it is impossible for every church to be great, and in the context of lack of supervision, there are many churches that are corrupt and degenerate into slave owners.

The current wasteland is a treasure trove of ownerlessness, as one of the nominal masters, after the fall of Sidion, although the Ash people do not have the right to open mines at will, but as long as they are not discovered, they can naturally be regarded as not happening....... it is the boss of this wasteland, who can care about him?

There are enough interests that can make people crazy, and operators without supervision and supervision will naturally go crazy to show their lower limits, especially at the moment when the railway network and monitoring network are not perfect, and remote mining areas are basically no-man's land.

"If it's slow, you won't have a chance, now it's as much as you want!"

The game church didn't touch this area before (they have a large mining area in the Holy Mountain), so they didn't know that there were at least three or four hundred mining areas and corresponding black processing plants and black factories in this field now........ and some of the guys who did too much had already made a one-stop shop of raw materials, processing, deep processing, and finished products, and only finished products existed in the market.

As long as there are enough benefits, what is the value of expensive lightning protection facilities, and what is the thunder season in the forbidden area of the living, for some mining areas, the thunder season is a good season for overtime.

In a sense, the current chaotic situation in Horn City, as well as the fall of those ambitious city lords, has put New Tonia City into the fast lane of weirdness, chaos, epilepsy, opportunity, and wealth.

Although the game church is not a related party and does not specialize in collecting intelligence, as the chief intelligence leader and the general superior of countless paparazzi, Rorschach still knows something.

It's just that in the past few years, the gray area has long become a gray industry in the whole city, and in the face of the complex chain of interests, the game church is nothing, and Rorschach is not stupid enough to stand in everyone's way...... In the chaotic situation that has not yet been fully integrated, even big guys like the Eagle Crown and the Radiance Scroll would not dare to die like this.

"You're the boss in the city. Why do you want to take care of it when you get out of town?!"

The twenty-member board of directors is only the governing body of the city, although everyone knows that the operators of these gray areas are the churches and forces in the city, but it has to grit its teeth and deny it, what can you do.

"The system of New Winteria City is too loose, and there is a limit to partnering for money. ”

It is normal for someone to cross the bottom line, capital is originally a profit-seeking interest creature, the question is who will supervise him, who is qualified to supervise him? At least in the written covenant documents of New Tonia City, every church is equal....... well, equality, equality in writing, equality in words, equality that sounds bluffing when it comes to talking.

Ahem, this aspect can only end here, the situation is such that the individual can only accept or leave the option.

Moreover, Rorschach's previous view of the gray industry was not all negative, after all, not all gray factories were sweatshops with slaves, and there were also slightly conscientious gray factories with high wages (mainly a few big churches that still had a lot of face).

Since there is a population in the gray area, they also have the needs of life and security, and they need adventurers, security guards, and mercenaries, which also stimulates the consumption and labor market from another aspect.

And many industries are indeed not suitable for the bright side, but they are the bulk of consumption, such as coats and tools made of various monster materials, such as the arms industry that everyone is stockpiling but pretending to be like a dove of peace on the surface, such as all kinds of high-polluting and high-risk manufacturing industries, such as biological research, medical and pharmaceutical industries, which are tragic but have positive significance for experimenters, such as taboo research on local physics, magic, and natural rules.

In fact, New Tonia City is developing too fast, there are too many opportunities to get out of the way, and churches like the game church that do not set foot in the gray area and put everything on the bright side are very few........ which is also related to the layout of the industry, and other churches do not have the strongest news media industry and entertainment industry in the city.

To put it another way, if the game church does not have such a good entertainment and news industry, but wants to catch up with the wave of great development....... Rorschach is not confident that he will not touch these industries at all, but his own party should be more conscientious.

In the past few years, the scale and output value of gray areas cannot be counted, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people do live in those gray areas.

If there is no problem, everyone, hello, I am good, everyone is good together, everyone makes a fortune together, something goes wrong......... Hehe.

This time, no matter from that point of view, it can be called a "big deal".

The corruption of the evil gods, the defiled and crazy monsters, and the elemental evil creatures danced wildly that night, and the fluctuations caused by them lasted for more than half a month.

Due to the existence of the Evil God Realm, the Thunder Season, which had entered the end, entered a period of decline faster, but the result was the worst development.

For ordinary people in the mining area, there is no difference between a powerful ancient evil dragon and a twisted monster infected by the breath of an evil god, and it is a dead ending anyway.

As a system and a whole that has matured, New Tonya's twenty-member board of directors will remind them even if they don't think about the effects of the fluctuations in the wild.

In fact, even in times of war, rescue and field retreat work was also underway, and seven miscellaneous transport ships and two warships that were finally pulled out of the battlefield formed two rescue and transfer brigades, which carried out dragnet rescue and transfer to all officially registered out-of-town areas.

Note that it is "official" and "written".

In the chaos at that time, the rescue team could have obtained all the information of the gray factory, and some churches would even insist on concealing the information, so it is also reasonable that these black areas that even the owners did not admit to the existence of the existence suffered the most losses.

According to the official data, the black mines and factories are "non-existent", but they account for more than half of the casualties, and this is still the part that has now been reported.

The black-hearted bastards who had already intended to act as if nothing had happened would surely continue to act as if nothing had happened.

"Everyone can also see that there are a lot of cats in this. There are those who did not die in the war, but died as 'deserters on the battlefield' during the war as they were uncommunicated and on the move. Director Rorschach has just conveyed that the board has reached an agreement and that some people have to pay the price. ”

Sunana, who supported the meeting, looked at Rorschach, but he just nodded silently, which was regarded as a sign of approval.

This is also the reason why Rorschach is in such a tired state of mind now, he should have presided over this internal meeting, but after nine hours of marathon spraying and tearing each other, he really doesn't want to say anything now.

Yes, spraying and blaming each other, this pot is too big, no one can afford to carry it........ whoever is stupid to carry it is equivalent to taking the initiative to finish.

But the pot is there, whether you carry it or not, if you don't come, don't go...... Everyone doesn't carry it, and in the end, it's the collective blame.

How to solve the problem? This should be the most important thing that no one cares about at the meeting, so let's shirk the responsibility and blame it first.

"The rescue was organized by the Glorious Scroll, but the Eagle Crown accused them of being unfavorable to the rescue, and we were also blamed for it, saying that our intelligence work was not in place........ we were obviously news media, how did we become an intelligence department? ”

The catastrophe has happened, but it has naturally developed into a political struggle, and the Game Church, which was close to the Radiant Scroll in this event, has probably been regarded as a traitor by the Eagle Crown.

Rorschach sighed, but sat up, taking a sip of the refreshing drink in front of him, and reinvigorating his tired spirit from repeated bombardments.

"Those bastards, it's obviously a board meeting, and they actually use amplification magic to spray each other, it's so boring that time is so precious and so wasted. ”

He was just bothered by the huge number of casualties, and he really didn't pay attention to the other churches' provocations and lack of trouble, which was expected from the beginning.

On the contrary, Rorschach feels that there is not only a lot of trouble, but also a lot of opportunities, and a general trend that is gradually becoming a reality.

Since a new era is destined to come, then how the game church and itself should meet this era is the big question at present.

"If there is a problem, it must be solved, if the trouble continues, it is most likely that there is a problem at the root, to put it bluntly, there is a problem with the system, and this chaotic gray area has brought extremely heavy losses........

Rorschach was silent, how to report such a heavy loss, he is still unstable, but now there is a more important trend in front of him.

".......Since it is impossible for anyone to look at such a barbaric development, the integration faction and the formation of the god faction will encounter a golden opportunity, if I am not mistaken, at most half a year, the new Tonya god system will be formed in advance. ”
