Chapter 65: A referendum triggered by a pistol

Zhao Yi waited until the patrol team's loss report came out to realize that the current ambush of the Japanese army was probably to snatch the weapons of the crossing people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The patrol lost an M9 pistol, and after the Japanese retreated, they carefully cleaned the battlefield through the crowd, and even though they scraped the floor, they could not find an M9 pistol.

Considering the strange behavior of this Japanese army, Zhao Yi felt that the Japanese army either wanted to capture the soldiers of the crossing crowd or snatch the weapons of the crossing crowd, and both were equally likely. Of the two speculations, the former is much more harmful than the latter, if someone is caught and their information from the future is revealed. Then the great powers will swarm like sharks that smell blood, and at that time they will kill the traversers, even if they use the crowd. A hundred years of advanced technological knowledge and the temptation to meet the future are enough to drive these white-skinned people crazy.

Since D-day, the traversal has been busy fighting, even if there is a break between them, they are also engaged in infrastructure elections and other things. The Provisional Executive Committee is still divided on how to explain the identity of the Travelers to the outside world.

Some people proposed to raise the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Since the Qing Dynasty, various forces have never stopped resisting the rule of the Qing court under this banner, and if this banner is raised by the masses, it can indeed unite some anti-Qing forces. However, judging from the situation that the Crossing Crowd is currently in the gap between the Japanese army and the Qing army, once this banner is raised, the Crossing Crowd must compromise with the Japanese army, otherwise it will face the risk of being attacked from both sides.

Don't look at the fierce people who are crossing now, they have already bombarded Jinzhou City, but as long as they do not clearly state their anti-Qing attitude, the Qing army is happy to be ostriches, burying their heads and pretending to see nothing.

Some people say that it is better to directly regard themselves as warlords and bandits, and not to put forward any clear political attitude. This is also not very reliable, at least, this kind of reference does not explain the origin of those advanced weapons of the Crossing Crowd. You can't say that it was made directly on the Liaodong Peninsula.

There is also the most popular suggestion that calls itself the former government in exile and now returns to its homeland. In this way, the self-proclaimed First Volunteer Brigade of the Royal Marines and the origin of these weapons make sense.

However, those who support this formulation are divided into two groups. One group claims to be a descendant of Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty who fled with his followers, while the other group claims to be a descendant of the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty in Yashan.

Zhao Yi faintly felt that some people who supported the theory of the descendants of the Southern Song Dynasty in Yashan wanted to roast him on the fire. The nickname casually given by the GIs is now a kind of political bargaining chip for people with hearts.

Zhao Yi didn't want to be pushed into that position, and kept dragging the issue out of a vote.

It's just what happened today that let him know that this matter can't be delayed any longer. If a traverser is captured in battle, what should the captured personnel do without endorsement do?

Without a proper identity, you won't even be treated as a prisoner of war after being captured, and you will be treated like a robber.

Moreover, now that there are more and more natives gathered through the crowd, there must always be a name and a program to unite these people. Not to mention these natives, even the people themselves must have a program and system. The Interim Executive Council has always been a transitional body and cannot be used to govern.

"Did you just lose an M9 pistol? Are there any material losses? Zhao Yi asked the patrol leader who came to report.

"No, it's just a pistol. At that time, the Japanese army rushed too close, and a soldier did not have time to change the magazine of the M4 in his hand, so he pulled out the M9 and shot at the Japanese soldiers who were leaning up. Later, he was shot in the abdomen by a Japanese rifle, and although the bulletproof vest on his body blocked the bullet, the man was knocked to the ground by the impact and the pistol was lost. The mountain infantry platoon commander replied.

"Okay, it's okay if you're fine. You go back and rest first. Zhao Yi said to the team leader.

"Lao Zhao, is the purpose of the Japanese army's ambush this time coming at weapons or people?" Lu Xiangyang was also vaguely aware of the purpose of the Japanese army's action.

"If only they came for weapons, what weapons would they get for attacking patrols? Automatic rifles? Automatic pistols? Or a radio? Radio they currently have no technology to reverse engineer. Automatic rifles, I'm even less worried, you see what individual automatic weapons the Japanese army had in World War II, and they were willing to equip the troops with 100 submachine guns until the end of the war. With the shortage of resources and the stubborn old men in the base camp, even if the Japanese army gets our automatic rifles, they will not copy and equip the troops on a large scale. Zhao Yi lit a cigarette and said.

"As for the M9, they will take it, at most the Japanese will not make jokes about the southern pistols anymore. With us in this time and space, it is still a problem that Japan will not be an independent and complete country in a few decades. Zhao Yi said as he puffed out a smoke ring.

"I'm worried that the Japanese are coming at people this time. In the future, more and more people will be interested in us, and we will always have to give the outside world an explanation of our origins. Once our secrets from the future are exposed, the consequences are unimaginable. Zhao Yiyi voiced his concerns.

"From the future, will anyone believe this statement in this day and age?" Lu Xiangyang asked.

"I think it's going to be a science fiction novel called 'The Time Machine' coming out this year or next year, written by the Englishman Wells. Do you think anyone will believe that we are from the future?" Zhao Yi is a fan of dead house novels, and he clearly remembers this science fiction novel that first proposed the concept of traveling through time and space.

"And how are you going to explain our origin to the outside world?" Lu Xiangyang asked.

"This has to be voted on by a referendum, and this matter is not just a matter of saying. This has a lot to do with what form of government we're going to adopt. This is not something that a few of us can solve by meeting with the interim executive committee. "Zhao Yi has been a leader for a month, and finally has a little bit of political acumen.

"Another referendum? These people don't seem to take this right of their own seriously, and they won't be like last time. "Lu Xiangyang has a psychological shadow on the last game-like election.

"It's different, they'll be much more serious this time. However, I feel like I'm going to be roasted on the fire again. Zhao Yi smiled helplessly.

The issue was quickly printed on paper and distributed to each of the traversers. This matter belongs to the top secret of the traversal, and the paper on which the materials are printed is also everyone's referendum vote, and it is to be recycled.

Paper with information printed on it cannot be taken out of the green paint zone, and all topics related to this referendum are not allowed to be discussed outside the green paint zone.

As soon as the news of the referendum came out, a large group of people in the base were in tandem. Zhao Yiyi guessed correctly, and many people linked this matter to the form of government that would be adopted in the future. Even if someone hasn't reacted for a while, those who are connected everywhere will tell him the joints in detail.

Among the people who are connected in tandem here, there is Xiao Fei. This former professional debt collector already understands how this kind of voting game works. As a debt collector with a background in the dark, Xiao Fei has always been looked down upon in the original time and space. Uneducated, uneducated, vampire, etc., these are all labels attached to him. But after crossing over, he felt that he had a chance to take off those labels and put other labels, such as noble, hereditary noble, and so on.

This is the reason why he made that copycat version of the yellow robe in the last election of the chairman of the interim executive committee. To become a person like those elegant and noble nobles in English dramas, you must first have an emperor. This is not only Xiao Fei, but also many people's thoughts. If the emperor happened to be less power-hungry and clear-headed, it would have been perfect. For example, Zhao Yi, isn't he such a person?
