135. Each has a ghost
Luo Jun stood on the snow in the north, looking at Beiping City, fifty kilometers away. A ray of dawn shot down, and Luo Jun's heart boiled.
At the same time, the whole world was boiling.
Since the Battle of Breeze City, the world has been silent for a long time, until the winter of this year. It was at this moment that every city knew about the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition.
When most mayors think that the pattern of the world is that the twenty-three independent cities are already sitting on the throne, they are not under the control of the coalition government. At this time, Luo Jun gave the world a dose of stimulant, and it was no longer cold in winter.
"This old fox has finally done it, and I have to be ready." This is a common phrase said by mayors who have been patient with the chairman.
Such mayors are ambitious and have long wanted to be independent, but they lack the courage of the mayors of twenty-three independent cities. Now, they received Luo Jun's outpouring of the soldiers, 10,000 steel soldiers and 100,000 soldiers left behind in their backyard. Such a force has brought them infinite reverie and longing.
On the other hand, the mayor of the world who is responsible for himself is worried: "Qingfeng City is already a dead city, which is a stark example of war. It seems that once this war starts, I don't know how many cities will be destroyed. ”
Such mayors are heartbroken for their citizens, fearing that the artillery will come to their heads and the city will be in flames.
As soon as they heard the news, they mobilized all their forces and began to deploy military defenses.
"I want to attack his lair." This is the first thought on the minds of each of the independent mayors. In their opinion, after defeating Luo Jun's Taiping City, his political career has moved towards a broader world, and he can show his skills and enslave the world.
They set out to mobilize their own troops. Just wait for Luo Jun to start a war against Beiping City, and he will do it on his own side. Originally, these independent mayors had strength, but they were limited to the strength of the military, and they were not immediately dispatched. Now that Luo Jun dares to leave the old mansion, they can't wait.
Citizens of every city are staring at the news reports and following the developments.
This expedition has aroused everyone's nerves. Everyone is ready to fight for their own glass of wine.
"Mayor Miao!" Pease, the head of the army in Changtian City, said, "Our chance has come, and the old fox has been dispatched. We can't wait, we will fight Taiping City as soon as possible, and we will definitely be able to win it. ”
Located in the north near the equator, Changtian is a super city and one of the independent cities.
The mayor narrowed his eyes and looked at the chief without saying a word. Seeing that the mayor was smiling and silent, the chief could not open his mouth for a while, so he picked up the water cup by himself and made it appear that he was drinking.
The mayor left his seat, without the smile he had just faced, and his expression suddenly condensed, walking back and forth.
She was thinking about a problem: to attack Taiping City by herself, she needed to face 10,000 iron warriors, this team had never been in contact with, and the strength was unknown; He sent troops, and other mayors who were eyeing him could take advantage of his city.
"Mayor!" Seeing that she was silent, the chief put down the cup and continued, "We have more than 800,000 soldiers. This is our confidence, and we have the capital to attack. ”
At the beginning, Ms. Miao was hovering in independent considerations. Behind the scenes, the chief has been encouraging and supporting her to publicly declare independence.
"As for the dispatch of troops, I think it is better to hold off. We can't be leaders. Mayor Miao sat back in his chair, "The risk factor is too great." Let's observe for a while, and don't rush to send troops. ”
"In its current form, the first to do it is definitely more advantageous." The chief still didn't give up, and said, "We are one step slower than others, and Taiping City will definitely be taken by other cities." ”
"There's no hurry." The mayor held a document in his hand, "I'm not in a hurry about this, you go and do a good job in the army." I'll let you know when I decide to send troops. ”
Looking at the mayor's determined expression, the chief felt that it was useless to continue. He saluted and left.
The chief got into the car, indignant in his heart.
[This woman's family just can't sit in town, and she can't get up]
"Drive." The chief said gloomily, "This mayor ......"
Pease never imagined that the mayor would refuse to send troops. The previous time independence was declared, the mayor also refused. But this time, the attitude of rejection was different, and there was no worry.
After walking out of the mayor's office, the thought in Pease's mind rose again.
The last time an independence wave was announced, Pease wanted to take the place of mayor. Later, when the tide went down, he stopped thinking about it. Now, I saw the woman who was younger than myself, sitting in the mayor's position, and did not dare to send troops.
In the place of mayor, the idea was born again.
"Father!" The driver was his son Pire, "She didn't promise?" ”
Pire saw his father's indignation and knew that the mayor had not agreed to send troops.
"Women's families, there is no interest." The chief said indignantly, "I can't wait. ”
"Father!" His son, Pire, whispered, "Or let's do it." ”
His son Pire also had a different heart.
"It's a bit difficult to do it in Changtian City." The chief said, "There is a risk of causing unnecessary trouble." Even if we go up, we may not be able to stabilize the situation. ”
The chief's concern is not unfounded. Since the declaration of independence, the city has not been quiet, and various forces are fighting in the dark. Especially the big families, they showed their support for the female mayor to govern, but secretly they were already competing with each other, but they didn't find the right time and didn't dare to make a big move.
These situations, the chief is clear in ~ chest.
"Son." Chief Pease said, "If we want to take control of Changtian City, the only chance is to send troops." We don't do it in town unless we have to. ”
"But the old ~ female ~ dog didn't agree." His son, Pire, said viciously, "We can't send troops out of the army. ”
"Gotta figure figure out." The chief Shen ~ groaned, "If we want to create the opportunity ourselves, we will do it in Changtian." ”
The chief thought about the major families entrenched in the city.
"People of the six great families......," the chief said slowly, "we can pay attention to them." ”
"The younger generation, I know." "They don't seem to have any intention of meddling in politics, and they're more willing to make a fortune by keeping quiet." Oh......"
The son didn't say any more, but nodded. He understood his father's thoughts.
"Father! Are you trying to win them over? ”
"Hmm!"
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult for the six major families to pull together."
"Don't worry about that." The chief confidently said, "We don't have to win over all the people, as long as the family supports us, things will be much easier." ”
"There's no way they're supporting us for no reason." The son thought of their big pockets and big appetites, "How are we going to woo them?" ”
"Give them all the arms business." "In that way," said the chief, "I don't believe that anyone is not impressed." Of course, we are specifically looking for families in this area, so that things can be handled better. ”
Night. The chief's house was brightly lit, and people came and went, not deserted by the light snow outside, but in full swing.
"Chief!" Wei raised his glass and said, "I heard you're going to let go of the arms business?" ”
After the chief and his son left the mayor's residence, they consulted all the way.
It was decided to hold a personal party, and invitations were sent to the six major families. And the news of letting go of the arms was released through the underworlds.
The banquet had been going on for half an hour, and the four families in front of them had also learned a little, but they didn't seem to have any ideas about developing in this regard, and they were just polite conversations. And it was all the chief who took the initiative to bring it up.
The chief thought that no family was interested and was about to give up. The Wei family, the weakest family, took the initiative to mention it as soon as it came up. This gave the chief a dose of strength.
"Let's not talk about that." "What do you think about the current situation?" ”
As he spoke, the chief led Wei Fu into a tearoom. As soon as the door closed, the noise outside was gone, and it was quiet.
"The world is about to be in chaos." Wei Fu put down his wine glass and sat down opposite the chief, "Luo Jun's brazen dispatch of troops will definitely cause the armed forces of every city to be launched. In today's world, what mayor doesn't want a piece of the pie. ”
"Hey!" The chief sighed, "Our mayor doesn't think so. ”
Hearing the chief's low interest, Wei Fu thought of the arms business again, and vaguely knew that the chief was going to make trouble.
"Mr. Wei!" The chief continued, "We want to send troops to fight Taiping City, but the mayor is more than willing to retreat in Changtian. This hinders the development of our city. What do you think? ”
"Indeed." Wei Fu knew that the chief needed support from behind, "Sending troops is the best strategy, and the offensive has a future for development." ”
"So it sees." The chief said, "Mr. Wei is also in favor of sending troops?" ”
"As long as you send troops, the chief, I will take care of the arms business, and military spending will not be a problem." "Of course, the best weapons company in the city, you have to think about it," Weigh said. ”
"Mr. Wei is refreshing." The chief stood up and raised his glass, "Something about the weapons manufacturing company." I'll get back to you by tomorrow. ”
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
The two returned to the banquet hall with smiles on their faces.
The chief kept greeting the guests, and Weif went to talk to the others.
The rest of the family is also not interested in the arms business. The chief did not say anything more about this. Instead, he talked to the five major families about the current situation.
Although the five major families are not interested in the arms business, they are all profit-seeking.
From the mouth of the chief, it was learned that the mayor was reluctant to send troops, and the chief wanted to send troops. After a long talk, the five major families discussed with the chief from different business aspects and reached the issue of military spending.
The five major families all know that when they start a war, they earn more money, so why not?
After a banquet, the chief and the six major families tacitly agreed that they all had their own calculations.
The biggest gain was the chief, he didn't expect that the six major families all had an adventurous spirit, and everyone was in favor of sending troops.
When the guests left, it was already past one o'clock in the evening. Outside, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was whistling against the windows.
"Father!" The son drunkenly said, "This matter is done, and we will send troops at a later date." ”
"One step away." The chief said, "The Wei family wants an arms manufacturing company. ”
"Tomorrow we will work together to win the CEO of that company."
The next day, the brother of the weapons manufacturing company gladly agreed to the chief. He is at a loss, the company's finances are tight, how can he refuse?
