Chapter 0529 - Half a Pound and Eight Taels

Chapter 0529

Nora thought for a moment, turned around, smiled a little embarrassedly, and reintroduced herself to Danse.

"Uh...... I am, I am...... ...... of the Local Volunteers General ......"

“???”

Danse momentarily wondered if he had just had auditory hallucinations. What the...... What the hell, General? You...... Do you want to raise the price?

Not only Danse, but also the maesters and knights behind him turned their heads and looked at Nora with round eyes in unison. However, Dans still patiently asked, "I'm sorry, you said...... Volunteers?"

Thinking about the three so-called 'villages' under his command, which add up to a team of seven or eight guns with a dozen people, Nora couldn't help but feel a little weak......

"Yes...... That one...... Well, Article 2 of the Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, 'Well-governed militias are necessary for the security of a free state, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms may not be violated.'" Under the 1903 Congressional Militia Act and the 1916 National Defense Act, we are the regular, legal militia of Massachusetts, the Volunteers. ”

Fortunately, it is the daily starting point of American lawyers to open their mouths and throw the law blindly to strengthen their own momentum...... Regardless of whether the quotation is correct and appropriate, let's start with a straightforward one.

Nora, who came to her own field, suddenly entered a professional state, and the whole person instantly became calm...... It's like when she's standing in the courtroom, facing the judge and the jury.

Although the Brotherhood of Steel is also a big organization, after all, this is a wasteland where society has collapsed for more than 200 years after the apocalypse.

Helen scratched her head through her hat, a clerical staff of the fraternity like her was more concerned about collecting pre-war scientific and technological materials and filing them by category, relatively speaking, in the humanities and social sciences, she was not so concerned.

"So...... What do you mean?" Dans realized that he was facing a general, so he changed his title: "Our Brotherhood of Steel will enter the Federation, which is what you call Massachusetts, and need to be subject to the constraints of your army?"

"Not really. Nora put it mildly: "The Volunteers exercise their functions under the law to defend the people of the Free State. But the Volunteers are not an exclusive armed force...... As long as it doesn't go against the purpose of protecting the people, we can be allies with the Brotherhood of Steel. ”

As a paladin of the Brotherhood, Dans is responsible for combat missions, and he has no authority for things like forming alliances with other forces, which must be decided by the Council of Elders.

As a result, Danse could only verbally express his willingness to live peacefully with the Volunteers, and was not embarrassed to mention the recruitment of Nora as a temporary worker...... After all, it was the commander of the local armed forces, and he didn't know it just now, and now he dared to mention that it was simply forcing the other party to start a war with him...... The strong dragon still can't suppress the head snake, not to mention that on his side, there are only three people left at the moment, and one is seriously injured and can't fight.

Dans would not have guessed that he would die, but now, the military strength of his side is exactly the same as that of the Massachusetts Volunteers!

Nora took a little food and water out of the bag and gave it to Danse. Looking at the appearance of these three people, you can also guess that they fought and walked all the way, and they must have lost most of the marching baggage, and the supplies around them should not be very abundant.

"Thank you so much! That's what we need. Dans was wearing power armor, and he could barely nod his head in greeting, and after taking it, he looked at the appearance of each piece of jerky being very large, and he was a little curious: "This ...... What kind of meat is it?"

Nora waved her hand and said, "You're welcome! This is a death claw that was just beaten two days ago, and it tastes quite good after drying, but it's a little harder." ”

Dans then noticed what was hanging from the side of Nora's butt from one of the two white deer behind them. Their Brotherhood's forward squad has suffered from deathclaws here. 88

Eventually, Danse took out a precision-modified laser gun and gave it to Nora as a gift in return...... It may be that he saw that Nora was carrying an old-fashioned Garand M1, and the laser mauser in Qi Feng's hand was too handmade.

Bidding farewell to the team of the Brotherhood of Steel, Qi Feng and his entourage rode on the deer and, according to the original plan, went to visit the famous MIT Institute of Technology.

Nora pointed out the direction to Ciri, then lowered her head and began to fiddle with the laser gun that had just arrived, while asking Qi Feng, "You seem to be familiar with this Brotherhood of Steel......

Speaking of which, Nora Ka paused for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "No, I feel like you are familiar with everything......"

Qi Feng shrugged his shoulders and replied very easily: "I have walked a lot, and it is not an exaggeration to humbly claim to be well-informed, what is so strange." Besides, for example, your Volunteers, and the Diamond City we're going to, I'm completely unfamiliar with ......."

Nora shook her head and smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and changed the subject: "Then tell me about this...... Brotherhood of Steel, right?"

Qi Feng scratched his head and thought about it for a while, and said, "Actually, the Brotherhood of Steel, strictly speaking, should be regarded as a rebel in the US army before the war......"

"What?!" Nora was not calm for a moment.

"Cough, don't get excited...... Qi Feng stretched out his hand and pressed it down, and said, "I remember the record...... Shortly before the nuclear bomb fell, a group of U.S. troops found themselves stationed at bases that were secretly conducting inhumane experiments on biological and chemical weapons...... Of course, these experiments were authorized by the government and the military......"

Nora frowned, emotionally a little difficult to accept, but reason told her that this was normal, after all, China and the United States finally used nuclear weapons to destroy the world, and before that, it was not surprising that the military began to consider biological and chemical weapons.

After a long exhale, Nora thought it was good, "...... So, the Brotherhood of Steel is...... Hmph, that kind of 'righteous friend'?"

"Justice...... Perhaps. In this wasteland, the so-called justice, the passing mark is very, very low......" Qi Feng said with some disdain: "The Iron Brotherhood has developed for more than two hundred years, of course, it can't still be the original group of hot-blooded young people who treason because of 'humanitarianism'......"

Qi Feng paused, changed to a very serious tone, and reminded: "As far as I know, the Brotherhood of Steel is quite xenophobic and thinks very highly of itself...... Let's put it this way, when they have the upper hand, they are talking about the prosperity of those who follow me and the death of those who disobey me...... If their large army marches into Massachusetts, and your Volunteers do not want to become their vassals, then the two armies will most likely go to war......"

"Is there a war?" Nora, rubbing her hand over the laser gun she had just gotten, "What about the standard pre-war U.S. military equipment...... Then, as far as you know, the Brotherhood of Steel has a very strong military, right?"

Qi Feng couldn't help but smile and said, "It also depends on who you compare with...... If it's compared to the Volunteers, who are only two people, you and Preston, of course, it's stronger...... However, it should not be as good as the Enclave and the New California Republic, how could they give up the territory to the west, keep moving east, and run to the east coast......"

"Enclave? What is that?" Nora felt that she had too much common knowledge to add, and that she was going to learn something new in her two hundreds, would it be too late?

Qi Feng shook his head: "I'll tell you about them next time...... I said, "Are we almost there?"

Qi Feng pointed to a wide river that appeared in front of him and grabbed the reins.

"Oh, Charles River......" Nora nodded and smiled, "The place where we are standing now is the ...... of MIT."

"Huh?"

Qi Feng was a little surprised and looked around. Only...... There are a few buildings around it that haven't been badly damaged, but...... That's it, the complex doesn't look very large.
