Chapter Twenty-Seven: Who Rules
Although I haven't gotten along much, meeting Reeve here is still a bit of a hometown after all, but it's just a little embarrassing.
At that time, Ah Po was fighting with the bear, Xiao Lu was crying, and the three of us were jumping and screaming on the side to cheer and cheer, three points like a single boy fighting gangsters for his girlfriend, seven points like a cannibal sacrifice ceremony, in short, the scene was quite weird......
And it seems that the bear is also very depressed, and he has been busy for a long time and only asks for a shave, we are looking for an organization, and it has to continue to run for a living, so he looks back at us very dissatisfied, and he turns back three times one step at a time, and there are words in his mouth, probably scolding the street.
When Reeve learned of our thoughts, he couldn't help but be amused and shocked, and waved his hand, "Come with me." ”
I saw that he was dressed in a waistcoat with a rifle on his back and a circle of bullets around his waist, which really meant that he was a militiaman, so I leaned in and asked, "Where is your base?" ”
Although Reeve could understand, he couldn't understand it, so Xiaohui changed her English to communicate with him, and then said to me, "It's not far, it's just ahead." ”
We had walked through the jungle for about a kilometer, and suddenly there was a large area of buildings in front of us, and we were just about to approach when suddenly men with guns jumped out on both sides, and when we saw Reeve, we relaxed our vigilance. One of the two men was a fat man with glasses, and the other was a bookish young man, who carried a gun on his back, but he didn't look like a soldier at all.
Reeve's base is composed of several rows of beige European-style buildings, all of which are small second floors of one color, with a few poles poked in front of the building, and clothes are still hanging on them, and there are often people walking around in the base, some with guns and some without them, but how to look at it or how it looks like an ordinary residential area, the total number of people is probably less than a thousand.
A few of our eastern faces didn't attract much attention, Reeve said a few words to a passing militiaman, and a few minutes after he left, three big European men came out of a white house, and they looked at us, and immediately laughed and rushed at me, and at the same time pounced on me with their long arms, and I hurriedly pushed Ah Po forward, and Ah Po came with them three bear hugs in succession - we had dealt with bears all day.
After hugging, the three of them suddenly took a step back and said in pure Beijing films: "Have you eaten?" This is the sentence they learned the most on Wangfu Street.
I laughed and said, "Don't mention this sad thing." ”
Reeve whispered something to them, and the three of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and Xiaohui told me: "Reeve told them that when he first found us, we were wrestling with bears for food. ”
I laughed and said, "I'm ashamed." ”
These three people have a deeper relationship with me, they lived in Wangfu Street for a while, and everyone got along day and night, but I still couldn't call their names, and the big one who loved to laugh the most of the three took my hand and said in jerky Chinese: "I know you can't call us by name, so you can call me captain." ”
I said, "Oh, you're the captain of your militia?" ”
The two next to me corrected me and said, "He's the captain of our guard!" Don't forget that we were all former palace guards. ”
The captain said depressedly: "It's almost the same now." ”
I was amazed: "Your Chinese has grown a lot, who did you learn it from?" ”
The captain stammered, "A few days ago, Lord Ghosh asked us to learn Chinese, saying that you would come. ”
Reeve stammered even more, "Are you here to take the princess away?" ”
Ah Po shouted: "Let's talk while eating." ”
Several of them also laughed, and the captain put his arm around Ah Po's shoulders and said, "You, and the bear, who won the wrestling?" ”
Po: "If you guys don't come, I'll win." ”
Xiaohui looked around and said, "Is this your base?" ”
The captain said, "Yes, all the forests in the Fuga Kingdom are under our control. ”
We followed him into a white house, where the captain of the guard called for a large plate of bread and jam, and half a bucket of milk, and it seemed that their living conditions were not bad.
The five of us devoured it at once, and a large plate of bread was at the bottom after a while, and Ah Po choked and said: "Is there soy tofu, sugar and garlic are fine." ”
Xiaohui pinched half of the bread and nibbled on it, and said, "Let's get down to business - I said can you find a translator first, I'm afraid you won't understand me if I'm too fast." ”
The captain resolutely said: "Hugh has to underestimate us!" Hanks, give them a smooth back (slip)! ”
Hanks, one of the four guards, looked at the roof with his hands behind his back and said: "Eat well (grapes) and don't spit out good skin, don't eat good but spit out good skin, stick (bench) is wide, stick stick (flat shoulder) is long, hit the south side of a raba (dumb), carry a raba (trumpet) in his hand...... "It's good to say with his tongue twister, Ken Qi'er is all the same."
Xiaohui chuckled: "Okay, okay, then I'll just say it, where is Ye Zi locked up now?" ”
The captain said, "It's in the former palace." ”
"The former palace?"
"Yes, Prince Jack is ready to build his own new palace, so the former palace has become a place where the princess is imprisoned." Although the captain did not directly reprimand Jack for his sins, and politely called him "Prince", we can still see the anger in his heart.
Xiaohui nodded and said, "You should be familiar with it, right?" ”
The captain laughed, "Of course, there is no one more familiar with it than we do!" So Jack didn't dare to live there anymore for fear that we would assassinate him. ”
Xiaohui said: "Very good, do you know where Ye Zi is being held?" ”
"The lower floor of the Clock Tower, that's the tallest building in the entire palace."
Xiaohui said: "Do you have any drawings?" ”
The captain smiled and said, "You better have a meal first, we are doing the work of saving His Highness." ”
Xiaohui said inexplicably: "You don't think we're here for dinner, do you?" ”
Ah Po said: "That's it, if we want to eat, we won't go abroad, and we won't even have sweet garlic!" ”
The captain smiled and said, "Lord Ghosh said that you would take His Highness away, but he didn't say anything else. ”
Xiaohui put down the bread and said seriously: "Of course we are here to take the leaves, but we still need your help in this process." ”
The captain stammered even more this time: "We? Help you guys? ”
Wushuang lit the table and said, "To put it bluntly, we have to determine who has the final say now." ”
Captain: "...... So who do you think should have the final say? ”
Xiaohui said: "It's better for us to follow the principle of fairness and listen to whoever has a more feasible plan." ”
The captain had no choice but to ask someone to bring a stack of drawings, the top one was a panorama of the palace of the Fuga Kingdom, and the bottom was a variety of floor plans, and even the original design drawings, I couldn't help but secretly speak, it seems that it is the right choice for us to find the guerrillas first.
Xiaohui carefully examined them one by one, and she pointed to the various heavily armed people in the picture and asked, "Are these those terrorists?" The captain nodded.
Below the drawings is a stack of photographs, both in the distant and close view of the palace, outside the entrances and exits and passages, the terrorists are heavily fortified with small trucks as obstacles, which looks out of place in the background of grace and opulence, Xiaohui smiled: "A good palace has made them a residence for drug dealers." ”
I asked the captain, "Are you safe here?" ”
The captain showed a wry smile inexplicably: "It should be said that it is very safe, our other two bases are also in the jungle, and no one wants to attack us rashly." ”
I wondered, "Why?" ”
"The purpose of those invaders coming to our country is to make a fortune, and the places they are heavily guarded are all places where there are diamonds or gold mines, and they are several forces, these guys are busy stealing, they are afraid that they will be taken advantage of by others if they are one step slower, who wants to take the risk of fighting us?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, thieves come into the house to steal, the master doesn't speak, they are naturally willing to make a fortune in silence, you don't want to cause trouble, and they don't want to take the initiative to fight with you." ”
The captain was ashamed and said, "But we are not strong enough to drive them out, and just like that, our country has become the current state, full of people with guns. ”
I said, "What is your Prince Jack doing now?" ”
"He's busy building his new palace." The captain said angrily.
"Let's go back to saving the leaves." Xiaohui said: "How much strength do you guerrillas have at present?" ”
The captain said, "It's about a little bit more than before, 3 to 4,000 people." ”
Xiao Huiqi said: "Why are there more?" ”
"Heh, a lot of people volunteered to join in."
Xiaohui said: "How is their training?" ”
"Training?" The captain said blankly: "The militia of our Fuga Kingdom does not have compulsory surname training, and each person with militia qualifications only has 18 hours of firearms theory courses, and when there is an emergency, it is the army. ”
We were dumbfounded: "What kind of army is this?" ”
The captain said: "Actually, there is no word militia in the language of our country, and our correct name is 'League of Warriors with Non-Professional Surnames'. ”
Ah Po said: "Bullshit! That is, the militia is not as good! ”
Xiaohui stood in front of the window with her back hand, looked at the loose soldiers with guns outside, and said to the captain, "Can you show me around your base?" ”
The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "Please." ”
We followed him out the door, walked around the rows of houses, and the captain explained: "This forest is actually the largest forest park in our country before, for foreign tourists to visit, and this is the preparation center of the park, which is also the reception area. ”
Xiaohui walked in front without saying a word, and we followed behind with a grim face, each wearing a hard hat is almost like an overseer, and the members of the so-called "non-professional warrior alliance" who came to meet were all kinds of things, including elegant middle-aged people and young people, and some were working with books or computers. "Our soldiers are all volunteering to join the Alliance, and they all have their own jobs, including engineers, doctors, and company directors. ”
Xiaohui frowned and said, "How can you accept these people?" ”
The captain spread his hands and said, "What should I do?" We have no precedent for forcible recruitment since ancient times, and the main thing is that no one invades us at all! ”
"Now there's it!" Xiaohui said: "What kind of training have they received? ”
"Firearms theory and tactical coordination theory, there are several other theoretical courses."
Xiaohui was dumbfounded: "Theory? ”
The captain said helplessly: "There are also physical and combat training, but those who can not participate, those who participate in the training can get a reward of 3 euros per hour, but you know, their own work is much higher than this." They joined the alliance because of interest, so to speak, they are actually a bunch of military enthusiasts. ”
Wushuang smiled: "Military enthusiasts? ”
"They all have a strong sense of honor. ”
Po: "Sense of honor? ”
The captain also knew that the more he talked, the more unorthodox it became, and he said embarrassedly: "No matter what, they are not willing to accept Jack's rule and come to the forest with the Alliance, they are the best warriors." ”
Xiaohui sighed and said lightly, "They are not." She turned back to me and said, "Now you know why Ye Zi gave up in the first place, right?" ”
I know, this is clearly a bunch of little white rabbits who love to eat radishes and cabbage, and it is no exaggeration to say that the five of us can easily destroy this base.
Without any training, full of theories, all high-income people, petty-bourgeois romance, can there be a worse army in the world? Why can't South Korea beat North Korea? How was the Song Dynasty destroyed? Why did Ximen Qing die tragically in Mandarin Duck Tower......
It's all the fault of the rich! I found that although the Kingdom of Fujia is a monarchical country, it has a high degree of civilization, and it is extremely rich because of its abundant resources, in this country where the congenital conditions are a little perverted, even if you are a sweeper, it is not difficult to get the salary of white-collar workers in other countries, and you have not experienced natural disasters [***], all of them are full of romance, and take the national plan as a child's play, once a great change breaks out, how can you bear the pressure? What sets Catherine apart from them is that she is young but has experienced hardships, so she is calm.
Let these people fight? You might as well let them take Christmas gifts made of black-hearted cotton and throw them to the enemy on December 25th in the hope of causing cholera.
At this moment, I was full of cows, and I vaguely saw that the coffee table of life was full of cups......
I patted the captain and said, "You have a good princess." ”
Xiaohui rubbed her forehead and said, "The situation is worse than I thought, I would rather have 100 guerrillas who can pick up trains and steal mines." ”
At this time, we passed by a clearing, surrounded by railings, and there were a dozen small barn-like things covered with cloth, and Ah Po was curious: "That can't be your missile silos, right?" ”
The captain said casually: "That's a hot air balloon, which used to be used by tourists to visit the forest park from a high altitude." ”
Xiaohui snorted and said, "I know the general situation, let's talk about you, before we came, what plan did you want to use to rescue Yezi?" ”
The captain's eyes lit up and he said confidently: "We have a tank!" ”
Xiaohui was stunned: "Tank? ”
The captain excitedly said, "You don't know, do you? We only have this tank in the whole country. ”
I laughed and said, "Will anyone open it?" ”
The captain was dissatisfied: "Of course there is! Don't treat us all like straw bales! ”
Xiaohui said: "So, your plan is to drive this tank to break through the terrorists' truck blockade and rescue Yezi?" ”
The captain said, "Yes." ”
"How high do you think the success rate is?"
The captain hesitated for a moment and said, "About thirty percent, but it's worth a try, isn't it?" ”
Xiaohui smiled: "It seems that I have to decide here - I have a plan with a 100% success rate." ”
