This time, of course, Lin Xiling will still blackmail Chen Taiyuan, and still ask for the original quid pro quo - Suzuki Butterfly Clothes, plus a thousand contagious versions of the C virus, and a complete strengthened warrior cultivation technology.
Chen Taiyuan couldn't agree. It's not that he doesn't want to agree, it's that the matter is so public that all humans don't agree.
"We recognize the exploits of the head wolf, and we are willing to exchange the Suzuki butterfly suit for the captive, but why should we take out any more C virus and technology to strengthen the warrior?"
"Yes, this is tantamount to greatly enhancing the strength of the militaristic alliance, and we will never agree to it! And once this hole is torn open, what will we do in the future? Every time we are captured, we have to help the other party create thousands of vampires, and give the other party a complete set of technology? That's amazing, the other party only needs to catch a few of us, and the resources of the entire human race will be exhausted!"
"Yes, new laws must be enacted, and no one will be allowed to act on the basis of personal feelings, which will ruin all mankind!"
"Yes, it's the era of Base City, this is a new era, we have a new social order and a new way of living, and naturally we also need a new legal system to match. Corresponding provisions must be issued immediately to prohibit the enemy camp from carrying out any form of blackmail against us!"
Although it seems a bit unsympathetic in terms of the head wolf incident, these theories are correct, and they are also for the survival and development of all mankind. Otherwise, every time a captive is exchanged, thousands of dark warriors will be created for each other, so why bother?
Exchanges are also possible, for humanitarian reasons, but they should be reasonable.
Of course, there were many other aspects of the terms that had to be reformulated, and the exchange of prisoners was put on the agenda first, and after deliberations on the part of the capital, the basic provisions were made. Of course, it may be improved in the future, and the standard is currently implemented with reference to the current -
The two sides exchanged prisoners of combat personnel according to the principle of equal strength, Qin class against Qin class, Han class against Han class; at the same time, each Qin class was equal to five Han ranks, and one Han class was equivalent to three Tang classes (because Qin classes were too scarce);
According to the standard of rank division, the base city captain or group army commander of the human camp corresponds to the second-order members of the new human organization, and also corresponds to the "national lord" of the militaristic alliance (Suzuki Dieyi, the original Miyamoto Keno, and now Shen Yuexian, etc.). These people are directly accountable to the highest echelons of their respective factions, so they are classified as the same rank.
According to the degree of importance, although the strength of personnel such as Liang Xue and Yuan Qing is not very high, they are equal to the other party's national lord or second-order existence. They either master 99 bureaus or large test institutes, and the weight is sufficient.
Further down there are more detailed classifications, which are nothing more than supplements to the main clauses, such as the personal importance bonus system, the contribution value bonus system, the reputation and prestige bonus system, and the social influence bonus system...... Wait a minute.
In short, through this series of systems, the "value" of an individual can almost be quantified!
For example, the highest score is 100 points, the head wolf is worth 75 points, while Suzuki Dieyi is worth 5o points, and the strong man of the Han level is worth 12 points. Then, in general, you can use Suzuki Butterfly and two Han-level dark captives to exchange for a wolf.
As for personal willingness, for example, you Chen Taiyuan have to agree to the other party to add more weight to the exchange of the head wolf, okay, but the official will no longer issue these exchange prisoners for you. The additional conditions that you yourself have promised yourself are to be resolved by yourself, provided that they do not infringe on the interests of all mankind.
What does it mean to "infringe on the interests of all mankind"? This needs to be submitted to the highest level of the office for specific analysis and evaluation.
In short, the situation is so grim and harsh. However, the advantage of this is to publicly tell Lin Xiling or the ancestor - don't try to take advantage of the feelings of someone in the human camp to blackmail, it's useless, we have special rules on our side.
This approach may seem a bit rigid and ruthless, but it is actually very necessary and provides a standard for future generations to follow
Not to mention, once the formal legal provisions were formed, Lin Xiling also knew that this kind of coercion method would not work. So after communicating with Chen Taiyuan, she promised that the human camp could exchange Suzuki Butterfly and the two captured members of the vampire family.
It sounds like her requirements are still relatively high, but considering that the head wolf is not only a Qin-level master, but also an officially erected natural hero, with strong social influence, the official agreed to the exchange after research.
What the official didn't know was that in order to facilitate this exchange, Chen Taiyuan also secretly promised Lin Xiling the price of attaching a thousand bags of refrigerated blood.
You must know that blood is already relatively scarce in human society, so of course it is even more scarce in the area controlled by the Jun-Wei League, after all, the number of humans there is scarce, and the number of vampires is very large. Therefore, these thousand bags of blood can provide "blood food" for the headquarters of the Military League for a period of time.
Of course, since these costs were privately agreed by Chen Taiyuan, Chen Taiyuan needs to raise them privately, and he is not allowed to use the blood bank reserves of hospitals or scientific research institutions. As a result, he had to solicit paid blood donations from the community, and those who donated blood received two kilograms of rice in return. In this era, two kilograms of rice is also quite valuable, and Chen Taiyuan lost two tons of rice under his son!
The time of the exchange is set for half a month later, and the handover place is outside a certain base city in the south. Outside of that base, there is direct access to the island nation of Southeast Asia, not far from the headquarters of the military alliance. As for half a month, it was because Chen Taiyuan needed to have people escort the vampire captives over, and he also needed to complete a thousand blood donations. Although two kilograms of rice is tempting, there is also a concern that blood itself will deprive people of nutrients, so the enthusiasm for blood donation is not very high.
Of course, the enthusiasm is not high, which makes fresh blood more and more scarce. Many people didn't expect that "blood" would become more and more valuable after it was finalized during the wasteland period.
โฆโฆ
Thirteen days after the capture of the head wolf, the head of the base city of Razor.
The blood has been gathered, Suzuki Dieyi and the vampire captives have also been detained, and Chen Taiyuan is about to go to the exchange, but he will take the opportunity to investigate the location of Lin Xiling's headquarters.
He will leave early tomorrow morning, and this evening he will come for a pre-departure inspection.
Walking slowly into the long city, Jian Wu and Xiao Fen were by their side. Liang Xue and Yuan Qing are in the laboratory, and it is said that the research of the big mouse has reached a critical time.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone over, and the three of them were covered with layers of golden brilliance, solemn and warm.
It would be nice if the world was as peaceful and peaceful as it is today.
In the city, the life order of more than 20 million citizens is gradually on the right track. However, the materials must be getting more and more tight, and the whole society is maintained on the "food and clothing line" that is barely fed and clothed. This is the most basic standard for measuring the living conditions of a base city. Among the 49 base cities, 32 can reach the food and clothing line.
There are 13 base cities that have implemented the "hard rationing" system, but they have finally reached the "survival line".
As for the last 4, they need to be relieved and are on the verge of a "collapse line".
Life has been so difficult, and Razor is already good. In the overall economic situation and social order assessment, the overall score ranked twelfth, which is a relatively ideal ranking, and the sense of happiness in life is already very strong.
Outside the city, it is an increasingly dilapidated abandoned place. Originally, it was a suburb of the city, and after several battles and large-scale clean-up and removal, it has become more and more like ruins. Further afield, of course, are more barren areas, where weeds will fill abandoned farmland, and abandoned small cities are destined to become mottled and unrecognizable like cultural monuments in the wind and rain.
This is the difference between the world and hell, and the dividing line between the two is the city wall at Chen Taiyuan's feet.
At this moment, the large iron gate under the city wall slowly closed, trying to separate the earth from hell in the darkness of the night. In fact, when the iron gate was opened during the day, there were also trenches, horses and wires as buffers, and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition guarded them. The tight defense makes the contrast between the inside and outside of the city even more distinct.
"The wasteland period has been completely finalized. Chen Taiyuan sighed in the afterglow, "The construction of the base city is just the stereotype of hardware, and what really stereotypes the wasteland period is the formation of new ways of survival, new social order, new legal provisions, new ethical values and other software." From that 'Provisional Regulations on the Exchange of Captives', it means that this heavy era has completely replaced the good old days. โ
"What's wrong with you today, what do you sigh about?" Xiao Fen twitched her delicate little nose.
Chen Taiyuan smiled: "I'm a philosophy teacher, forget? Philosophers like to look at the changes of the times with a rational eye." โ
"Come on, you ......," Xiaofen smiled. The second time I met this teacher of the same age, it was in the city under his feet, and he fooled people as a philosophy teacher at that time. "You have a point, it's a wasteland period that has been completely finalized. However, I am not as pessimistic as you. โ
Chen Taiyuan looked at this girl who was dizzy, but her heart was always full of light.
Xiao Fen shook her small fist in the golden afterglow, and said with bared teeth: "If your heart is towards the light, you will definitely get the light." Tomorrow may be bleaker than yesterday, but as long as we work hard, the day after tomorrow will definitely get better, for sure!"
Chen Taiyuan's heart was touched. Many times, in fact, Xiaofen is her own teacher, and this girl always infects others with her cheerfulness and optimism. Xiaofen is a little blindly optimistic, and sometimes very emotional and idealistic, but isn't this the most scarce quality for people to survive in difficult times?
As long as your heart is bright, you will surely receive light. In the same way, as long as we have hope in our hearts, we will be able to grasp it.
