This time we went out with two tasks, one was to send the technicians sent to the base to support production in the barley field, and then to send the Japanese to their territory in Nangang and receive supplies by the way. Angelia was obviously dissatisfied with this, but now her words don't count, and she can only listen to my arrangement.

The chaos outside the community today is much worse than it was yesterday. Some people drove out of the city, while others wandered around the streets with blank faces. There weren't many dead people on the streets a few days ago, but today you can see charred bodies lying on the road or in cars every once in a while. The robbers are even more in groups. I saw two men running out of a building with the food they had stolen, and several gunmen roaming around the neighborhood rushed over and shot at them, taking the food away. On our way to the base, we had to pass through several impoverished neighborhoods, where the situation was even more serious, and the gunfire could be heard from afar. We asked people who had run out of the community to learn that either different gangs in the community were fighting for control, or that blacks were coming in droves to loot.

I filmed these scenes on a dashcam and prepared to show them to the untruthful crowd in the community after I went to the barley fields, so that they could know how serious the situation was and what kind of disaster would befall their families if they did not do their best to defend the community.

Luckily, our convoy was large enough, and the vehicles in front of us had Gatling guns on them, so we fired a few shots to scare them away. It took more than twice as long to reach the base as a stop-and-go way.

It's still calm on this side of the base. Because there was no food in the vicinity, and there was no wealth, neither those fleeing nor looting would come here. But it seems that Garand they were careful, the drone spotted us early when we approached and confirmed that we had no tail behind us.

As we entered the base defense circle, I could see that many places had been converted into bunkers with old buildings, and many roads had been sealed off by sandbags, earthen walls, or deep trenches and iron fences. On the brand-new road sign that appeared on the side of the road, the road sign in the direction of the small building actually had the word "headquarters" written on it. It seems that Garand is going to make this place a military fortress.

Josan drove the car to the small building known as the headquarters when Garland was waiting for me on the steps as usual, with Billy, Smoke, and the others there. Garland clapped his hands happily when he saw me get out of the car: "Well, well, we can discuss something face-to-face today without having to go through a walkie-talkie that is not very safe." ”

I shook his hand and quipped, "You look like you're building a fortress." It seems that you are in good spirits, have you regained the feeling of commanding an army in this job? ”

Garland said happily, "It feels better than that." You know, the army has to do the job of politicians, and my biggest problem in the army is that I am always being interfered with by politicians. My greatest wish for many years is to one day when I don't have to look at politicians when making plans. Now we don't have politicians here, I can act according to my judgment"

I also smiled and said, "But is it really necessary for you to build so many fortifications?" ”

Garland said solemnly: "Of course it is necessary. Not only that, but we also need to expand. James, the situation may be more serious than you and I think. Come, let's go into the house and say. Hanks is waiting for you in the house. ”

After sitting down, I couldn't wait to ask Garand, "Why do you judge the situation to be serious?" Any news? ”

"There's no news, it's speculation," Garland said. It is common sense to assume that the riots and rebellions have been going on for so many days, and the situation is so serious, that the arrival of the army to suppress them should have been long overdue. But now we don't see the army at all. It's anomalous and completely inexplicable. If the military needs to control and clean up the nuclear contamination on the east coast, then the troops stationed overseas should also be sent back to China. The Mexicans did not have aircraft, tanks and artillery, and the suppression of the rebellion did not require heavy troops, and with the transport capacity of the Air Force it was already supposed to transport several divisions. But the fact that there is still no army here only speaks to one thing, that is, the army is doing nothing. Do you understand? ”

Garland confirmed that I understood before continuing: "If the politicians really want to suppress the rebellion, they can at least transfer a few divisions of the Army units in Japan back. Since the Chinese broke through the first island chain a few years ago, these troops have not been able to play the role of encircling China, but have become hostages of China, so why not transfer troops from Japan? If it is to retaliate against the Japanese, these few days are enough time to send Japan back to the Stone Age, and there is no need for Japan to occupy it as a nuclear-contaminated island. But why the unusual ground offensive? ”

At this point he paused, motioning for Hanks to continue. Hanks said: "There's a little bit of an anecdote. Ever since politicians advocated reindustrialization, there has been a discussion that the country's demographics have become impossible for low-end manufacturing. High welfare policies discourage people from doing hard work, and cutting benefits to force them to work can lead to social unrest. Some people think that robots can be used to replace humans for simple tasks, but this is a big problem: the country's low-educated population cannot afford to maintain automated production lines. Therefore, there is rumor that there is talk of a large number of low-cost laborers moving in from countries like Japan and South Korea where people are hardworking and education-oriented. At one point, Curtis vaguely mentioned that the National Intelligence Agency had planned to create disasters in both countries and force the young and middle-aged labor force into a refugee exodus. ”

Garland excused: "So, Hanks and I analyzed, not to draw troops from Japan is to control the labor force there." Now that they are no longer refugees but prisoners of war, it will be cheaper. But now there is a huge problem, which is that the east coast is contaminated by nuclear weapons, the habitable area of the country is greatly reduced, the population density is high, and it seems that there is no place for them to move in, what to do? It seems that only a few people have been eliminated. Then war, especially a completely out of control civil war, is the most effective tool for reducing the population. What do you think it will be? ”

"It's a bit alarmist," the boar said. ”

"Hopefully that won't happen," Garland said. But I've never had hope in politicians' bottom lines. In fact, they are now agitating for genocide! ”

I can only nod my head to this. On the way there, I listened to the car radio and noticed that several more stations appeared, some of them claiming that white people were slaughtered by Mexicans, and some of them claimed that Mexicans were massacred by white people, and it was completely a rhythm of incitement to hatred. The result of this is inevitably that everyone will eventually fall into madness.

I asked Garland, "What should I do now?" ”

Garland said, "No one knows. All I can say is to think long-term. From now on we will strengthen our strongholds, collect anything that is useful to us, and spare not a single grain or a drop of gasoline or a bullet. We also need to expand our territory and get more people. Only then will we not be killed by others in the chaos. ”

I said, "Okay, I'll take care of that." That being the case, it seems that the people who were taken in from the barley fields should be diverted here. ”

Garland said, "Yes. There is a shortage of people here. There are many things we can do with people. ”

I said, "Okay." It seems that we can't stay in the fortifications all day. From today onwards, we will organize convoys to come out every day to search for supplies and personnel, and I will come to the base often. Garland prepares a plan to see where we should prioritize getting supplies in the near future. ”

Garland said, "Okay. One more thing. You Chinese have always been scattered, and I am not optimistic about their combat effectiveness. I think that in order for them not to be killed, you have to stir them up with terror. I suggest you take pictures of what you see on the road and show them to the Chinese in the barley fields, so that you can talk less when you need them to fight. ”

It's with me. Big Eyes also said, "We're doing this." Well, it's not too early, if nothing else we should go to the port. ”

Billy hurriedly said, "We have prepared twenty trucks and twenty-two protected vehicles. Garand also prepared twenty camera systems with helmets attached. ”

Garland reminded me behind my back, "You'll be passing by the Navy Junior Campus and remember to recruit some dockers there. Those people are easier to train into fighters, and heavy trucks are not something that just one person can drive. ”
