Chapter 938: Patrols and Reports
Whatever was wrong, at least, Anderson and the tribal patriarch had finally reached a preliminary deal. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Subsequently, the two walked out of the house one after another.
The patriarch walked up to the two tribal hunters, handed them a hundred euros each in front of everyone, and said a few words to the two of them.
Anderson on the side basically didn't understand the language of this small tribe at all, and the patriarch obviously didn't want them outsiders to know the internal affairs of their tribe, so Anderson only heard the patriarch muttering a few words, and the two guides actually saluted the patriarch again and again, as if thanking the patriarch for his kindness.
Seeing this scene, Anderson couldn't help frowning again. This patriarch treats his people too harshly! Just by taking on a task, he is already fat in his pocket, but he didn't think that he would only give his own people such a small amount of money. But what is even more strange is that from the faces of these people, there is no resentment and anger, thinking that this patriarch must not know how to deceive his people in the past, so that the people still think that this patriarch is sincerely thinking about them.
Could this patriarch be able to become a patriarch? Could it be that the people of the tribe would one day turn against him? The rule under the power will one day be destroyed, and it is only a matter of time.
Seeing such a scene directly, Anderson already understood very well why the people of this tribe were living so hard.
Once again, Anderson secretly despised the patriarch's mannerism. However, as the saying goes, it's not about himself, and Anderson will not say anything about demolishing the stage, so as not to affect his own plans.
"Do they speak the lingua franca?"
After the patriarch had explained to his people, he walked over to Anderson, who asked him a question.
Anderson couldn't control the matter of other people's distribution of remuneration, and he didn't want to care about it at this time, but he was even more worried about whether the two guides would communicate with them smoothly. Especially when he saw the process of communication between the patriarch and his people, Anderson found that he did not understand at all, and he had a worry. After all, they already can't understand the language of their tribe, but if the two tribes only understand their own language, then even if the two tribes go on the road together, they will not be able to communicate smoothly at all, and there will still be a lot of inconvenience.
"They speak the lingua franca of their country. The patriarch said.
Hearing this, Anderson nodded, his face was relieved, and he was finally relieved. Although Anderson can't understand the exclusive language of this tribe, he is proficient in many Chinese, and he happens to know some of the common languages of Ganglong, so it is not a big problem to communicate back. That's enough for Anderson.
You're ready to go. Anderson and his party were about to get up and leave, but the patriarch interrupted Anderson's preparation with a remark, and came over and asked, "Do you want to rest in the tribe for the night and leave tomorrow morning?"
This seemed like a thoughtful suggestion for them, but instead of directly responding to the Patriarch's proposal, Anderson turned to Anna and asked in a low voice, "Can you still hold on?"
Anna understood Anderson's eyes, knew that he had concerns, thought about it, and lowered her voice and asked, "What is your suggestion?"
"If you can still persevere, we should leave immediately, get out of here as soon as possible, and leave the country of Ganglong. Even if it's dark, it's a big deal for us to spend the night in the wilderness and rest. Anderson said.
Anna understood. Anderson's words were obviously telling her that this place was not safe and could not be trusted, and that as long as she was not too tired to walk, it was safer to leave this place as soon as possible and go to a place where there were only her own people. Therefore, Anna was silent, just nodded at Anderson.
Anna really didn't understand wrong, Anderson did not be able to trust this place because he felt that the patriarch's character was not credible. It's just that Anderson's idea is more in-depth, he can't guarantee that this tribal patriarch will not be the same for a while, and now he will accept their money and arrange for them to leave, but after a while, if he hears that the Ganglong government has issued a huge reward, he will turn around and deal with them, and assist the Ganglong government for a huge bounty and arrest them to receive the reward.
After all, although this small tribe is located in the middle of nowhere, it is not completely isolated from the world. Otherwise, how could this patriarch have such a communication device as a mobile phone? So, not to mention that he didn't have much friendship with this patriarch, just looking at the patriarch's style of behavior, Anderson felt that here, everything must be prepared for the worst, and only in this way can he protect himself and Anna and the others to the greatest extent.
Of course, Anderson would not tell the patriarch these thoughts, he just found another excuse, so he prevaricated, and at the same time told the patriarch that they still had important matters, and they had to leave immediately, and only gave fifteen minutes to the guide to pack up the salute and personal belongings, and let the patriarch convey them.
When the patriarch heard this, he didn't say much, just smiled and ordered his two clansmen to prepare their bags.
Soon, the three of Anderson, plus two guides, and a group of five began to embark on the road to cross the border. In order to be as unobtrusive as possible, the route they traveled was basically along some uninhabited wilderness areas. In these areas, not only are there no garrisons of the Ganglong Kingdom at all, but even the population is rare.
As a landlocked country, Ganglong is surrounded by border areas with other countries on all sides, so naturally, it is necessary to send garrisons to defend these border areas. But in fact, Ganglong is not a big country, and the population is not large, so the number of troops is not enough to deal with every border area, and most of the time, Ganglong naturally has no way to send garrisons to defend every inch of land, or arrange military patrols.
In addition, many border areas in Ganglong are inaccessible, and if you send troops to defend or patrol, the cost is very high, which is why the Wehrmacht does not even arrange military patrols once a year. In Ganglong State, the basic national defense situation is mainly concentrated in border passes and border towns, and permanent military posts are arranged for national defense early warning. Most of the national army is still deployed around the city, and once the enemy is found to be invading, they will concentrate their forces to meet the enemy.
It can be seen from this that it can basically be said that the national defense of Ganglong is relatively passive and cannot be regarded as strict defense.
This is the basic national condition of the country of Ganglong, which cannot be easily changed, therefore, for the sake of national security, the government of Ganglong has formulated many policies conducive to national security, so as to integrate them with national defense.
Among them, the most important thing is not to be enemies of neighboring countries as much as possible, and to actively defend and befriend neighboring countries. On the basis of this principle, on the one hand, the Congollong State has actively enhanced the combat effectiveness of the national defense forces and told its neighbors that they will inevitably pay a price if they make a move; on the other hand, if they make good friends with their neighbors and carry out economic and trade cooperation, the two sides will have common interests entangled, and the countries will naturally not easily trigger wars or international conflicts.
Because of these strategies, Ganglong's relations with its neighbors have been good over the years, and there is no shortage of solid business partners. The Democratic Party formed by the Xinghua Empire, when it took over the power of Ganglong State, also followed this national policy of actively defending and befriending neighboring countries.
However, the occurrence of the Anna incident has caused some small changes in the national defense policy of the Ganglong Kingdom.
"In accordance with the unanimous decision of the Presidential Office, the Ministry of National Defence and the Ministry of Police, the Department of Armed Patrols was established. The main responsibilities of the Armed Patrol Department are national defense patrols, arresting fugitives, and cracking down on various illegal and criminal activities in border areas, including but not limited to poaching, destruction of forest vegetation, smuggling, human trafficking, drug trafficking and other criminal acts. ”
"The number of personnel in the Armed Patrol Department was initially 2,000 armed patrol officers. Last time, there was unrest in the country, mercenaries appeared in the south. This time, in the Anna incident, the mercenary organization directly took prisoners in the city of Hanon. All of them show that the southern border has become an important channel for mercenary organizations to enter our country. We can no longer allow this to happen, and this time 2,000 armed patrol personnel will be deployed in the southern region on a priority basis, and four strongholds of armed patrol departments will be set up to regularly patrol the border areas, strengthen national defense, crack down on illegal mercenary organizations, and crack down on criminals. ”
And this change, at this time, is particularly timely and effective.
To the south, about ten kilometers from the small tribe through which Anna passed, there was an outpost. Inside the outpost, there was a small armed force. This small unit was the first batch of armed patrol personnel recruited by the Armed Patrol Department, and they were soldiers drawn from nearby garrisons, numbering about 100. At this time, the officer of the post was announcing some information to the soldiers.
"In view of the heavy and hard work of the Armed Patrol Department, the state has set up a special fund to triple the salary. Moreover, the Armed Patrol Department will adopt a rotation system, which will basically be a three-year term. No serviceman, except for officers, will work at the border for a long time. ”
"There is another important thing, that is, Xinghua Group has offered a reward for the capture of Anna. Whoever catches Anna, an individual or an organization, can get 50,000 euros. If you can provide valid leads, you can also get a thousand euros in lead fees. ”
"You know who Anna is, right?"
The officer asked the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately replied.
"Yes. ”
"That's a bitch. ”
For a foreigner who undermines the stability of the country, the military has always had no good feelings, and the military is not like sitting in the office, elegant and polite political officials, their style of action has always been decisive and direct, therefore, the speech has never been concealed, so for Anna, who has been determined to be guilty by the laws of the country, the soldiers are even more despised, and they will not give half of face at all.
"According to the tip, there is a good chance that she crossed the border from nearby and escaped from our country. You look into it...... Offer a bounty, and don't count on it. However, there is still some hope that there will be clues and some pocket money to drink together. Be quick, don't let the police get ahead of you. The officer said.
"Yes, sir. The soldiers responded loudly.
Two hours later, the patrol of the outpost passed by the small tribe.
Another half an hour later, President Chu Hans of the Presidential Palace of Ganglong Kingdom reported Anna's whereabouts to Yi Xingchen.
According to information provided by the Armed Patrol, they found definite clues about Anna's whereabouts in a small, unnamed tribe. According to the investigation, Anna and the others once appeared in a small tribe close to the border area, and that small tribe provided Anna with a guide to help them through the wilderness, and according to the route, it is speculated that Anna and the others must be fleeing to the southern region.
When Yi Xingchen received the report, there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he just listened to it as an ordinary thing. In fact, since Anna confessed, in Yi Xingchen's eyes, this Anna, who was wanted by Ganglong Guo, is of little value, she is a small person, he doesn't pay too much attention, as long as he knows some news about Anna and the Stellar Society behind her at any time.
It's just that Anna has a certain importance to the government of Ganglong. Because, in all the recent contradictions, Anna is also a key figure in these events closely related to the Ganglong Kingdom, so the Ganglong government needs to control Anna in order to appease the hearts of the Ganglong people and stabilize the government's prestige in the eyes of the people. If you can't catch Anna, it must be a matter of losing the hearts of the people for the authorities of Ganglong Kingdom.
In addition, Yi Xingchen also knew very well that the reason why Chu Hans would report all this progress to him actually had another meaning. In Chu Hansi's heart, Ganglong is also a vassal of the Xinghua Empire, and he hopes that the empire can send elite swordsmen to assist the government of Ganglong and arrest Anna.
Yi Xingchen didn't decide immediately, not because he didn't have the right to decide, but because he didn't want to disrupt the empire's operating mechanism in Blue Mercury. Through the organization of Xinghua Group, the Xinghua Empire defends the rights and interests of the empire and expands the influence of the empire in Blue Mercury. Below the Xinghua Group, there were autonomous territories controlled by the Empire. For example, the government of the Republic of Hung Hoa, the autonomy of the territory of Muhammad Mountain, the government of the Ganglong State, the priests' guild, and so on.
At present, each territory is independent and self-governing, and Schmidt Group only gives due assistance in terms of resources. The emir is in charge of the Xinghua Group, Yan En, as the representative of the emperor, has a certain amount of power, and the air traffic control bureau has the power to enter and exit the space channel, so Yi Xingchen will not skip them to govern, but needs the opinions of the three parties, such as the emir, Yan En, and the air traffic control bureau, and then decide whether to send the imperial elite swordsman professional to assist the government of the Ganglong Kingdom. Of course, if necessary, the Empire may need to summon elite swordsmen from another world.
It's just that most of the mid- and high-level swordsmen in Blue Mercury have their own tasks, such as guarding the Xinghua production base, etc., and if they are dispatched to assist in the capture of Anna, it means that they have to put aside their tasks for the time being.
Therefore, considering all parties, Yi Xingchen did not intend to give Chu Hans a reply immediately.
