Chapter 1212 Persistence
If a screenwriter knows what to expect tonight, he must be inspired to write a wonderful script called "Wires on Telephone Poles."
In a short time, the operator who almost fell asleep in the telegraph office was busy all at once, dozens of sockets on the exchange flashed red, wiping sweat and scrambling to plug and unplug the transfer cable.
Doolin was talking to someone while two other shareholders of the Ambiluo State Mining Company were talking on the phone.
The representative of the Northern Noble Consortium was in contact with Harry, the representative of the Southern Consortium, and it had only been twenty or thirty minutes since the incident broke out, and he already knew the whole story.
The moment the phone was answered, the first thing he said was, "Are you crazy on horseback?", and in his opinion, Harry was really crazy, and he actually mobilized all the power they now had to fight Durin's men.
This stupid act can have terrible consequences, everyone knows that Durin is not a bad person, he is just a bad person, but his destructive power is even more amazing than everyone else.
This meant that Harry, without the knowledge of the others, sounded the clarion call for war on their behalf to Doolin.
This is a war, and it will soon turn into a terrible war, and Durin will definitely get his revenge back!
Harry was much calmer than when he first woke up, and he was even in the mood to smoke, "Don't worry, things won't get too bad, we don't know who attacked us at night, we were just forced to fight back, we even thought it was a bunch of robbers." โ
"No one can take advantage of this to attack us, and if Dourin thinks this is a provocation to him, then he must make it clear why he sent men to attack our convoy in the middle of the night. โ
"If he can't give a reason and doesn't admit his actions, it means that he has to swallow the consequences of his own actions, and all the losses will be borne by himself. โ
"But if he admits that it was his actions, and the reasons are not so appropriate, I believe that those behind us, and some of those who are in opposition to him, will unite with us against him. โ
'This time it was his own mistake, he made the wrong move, and from tonight onwards the initiative will be in our hands. โ
Harry's analysis can be said to have a little truth, once Doolin's men are killed and wounded, and even someone confesses that the instigator behind is Dorin, then Doolin will be in trouble.
A governor who organizes a private armed force to attack a convoy of legitimate businessmen in the middle of the night is on their side, at least on the surface, even if it gets to the cabinet.
At that time, the capitalists, the Chamber of Commerce, the workers' unions, and even some other individuals and forces that they know or may not know will stand up and stir up a wave of public opinion, and Dรผhrin will probably resign and be investigated for it.
His behavior is no longer suitable for him to continue to be active in the political arena as a politician, and he will be an unprecedented loser, without which things will be much better.
Harry told his companions all his thoughts, and the face of the representative of the Northern Noble Consortium gradually softened, and he even nodded repeatedly, feeling that Harry's statement was very reasonable.
He then reported the matter to the consortium board, and the first thing the executive director said after listening to it was "beep beep".
Different statuses, different angles, different heights, and different things to see.
The people in the corners of the valley will never be able to see the whole process of the sunrise as clearly as the people on the top of the mountain, and for them, the change of the day may be limited to the change of night and white in the valley.
But for those on the top of the mountain, the world is complex, changeable, and terrifying.
Some people think that Durin's current arrogance is due to the skin of the governor on him, and he is an imperial dignitary, so few people dare to deal with him blatantly.
This would turn hostile hatred between each other into a challenge to the entire imperial political system, to all politicians.
But in fact, the governor's skin is not only not a protective shield for Durin, but a shackle that restrains him from recklessly and recklessly.
Without this skin, this bastard can do whatever he wants, from kidnapping and murder to causing traffic accidents, there is nothing he dare not do.
Now he is so honest, it is because of this skin that he needs to make himself more in line with the image of the "governor".
Some people, even Maggs, put him in a cage of rules so that he could only move within this framework, but these stupid little people at the bottom are now planning to open the door to this cage.
They must be crazy!
They can't understand how terrible Duhrin is for having no worries, and some high-ranking people say that if they don't have it, they will be gone, let alone these capitalists who don't even have official status?
Isn't that a sharp knife to drop everything?
On the other hand, the representatives of the Imperial Bank also knew about the incident, and they had their own henchmen in the mining area, and immediately after the incident, the chairman of the board of directors of the headquarters of the Imperial Bank made a telephone call to Durin, expressing their willingness to settle the dispute peacefully, and affirming that what happened in the evening had nothing to do with the Imperial Bank and the representative himself.
The phone calls began to spread from the state of Ambiloo to the whole country, and those who had anything to do with the matter and those who had nothing to do with it began to spread the news on a small scale, some people were very much looking forward to Doolin's performance, and others picked up knives and forks.
No matter which side falls, it means a big feast is about to take place!
Before dawn was the darkest time of the day, and the most anxious, the gunfire in the valley thinned out, and the sound, which was obviously higher than the others, seemed to die down for a moment.
Keena hadn't moved since he got down, and there were more than a dozen empty shells of the feeder scattered on the ground beside him, and he had less than fifty rounds of ammunition left.
Being able to carry so much ammunition is also thanks to the change in the structure of the bullet of the firearm that uses steam as kinetic energy, such bullets are lighter than gunpowder bullets, and the number of bullets carried will naturally increase.
With every pull of the trigger, there was bound to be a spot in the convoy where debris would rise.
The convoy had been joined by the mine guards from the mining camp, apparently armed with guns that had outnumbered the number of armed warrants.
In fact, this is a very common way of operation of some local organizations, if an organization has ten armed certificates, they dare to arm twenty or thirty people.
Anyway, as long as no more than ten guns are found at the same time, as for why people and guns are separated, it is because this is how the company's regulations come from.
More and more gunmen joined in, and after a short fight, the frequency of both sides firing at each other suddenly decreased.
I don't know who got the brains to turn off all the lights of all the vehicles in the convoy, which plunged the entire ambush scene into darkness, and the sky in the distance appeared a color different from the night, and the frequency of gunfire became lower and lower.
Everyone knew that at the moment of dawn, the fiercest battle would inevitably break out!
"Sir, we can't hold up our ammunition anymore......", one of the team members circled around Keina's side from behind, and after more than three hours of fighting, too many bullets were emptied, and most of the combatants carried only one base of ammunition remained. (Steam kinetic ammunition does not require gunpowder, does not need to be unshelled, and is light in weight and small in size, so it can carry a lot.) ๏ผ
Kena was silent for a while, then said, "Half of the fight and half of the stay, have you applied for support?"
"Apply, the base says that a wing has been dispatched to ......," the team member said and paused, "There are still ten sentry platforms!"
Keina was also stunned for a moment, no matter how fierce their firepower is now, it can be regarded as a "civil armed conflict", in the Empire's qualitative rules for firefights, if there is no heavy firepower, it is a civil conflict, and if there is heavy firepower, it is another matter.
The Sentinel Platform clearly belongs to the latter, and this thing is a massive killing weapon for infantry units, and if such a thing appears in an unofficial battle, the Imperial Ministry of Defense will send an investigation team to intervene in the matter.
Soon Kena figured it out, he gritted his teeth, "Tell everyone, don't keep it as soon as it dawns, our people will arrive soon, let them keep an eye on them, don't let these people run away, we will annihilate them all!"
The calm in the valley lasted less than half an hour, the sky gradually became a little brighter, and the sight in the valley became a little better, and the sound of horses' hooves in the distance made the convoy below the valley burst into cheers.
The reinforcements did not wait, but waited for the other party's reinforcements, and Kena watched through the sniper scope as the cavalry dispersed directly into the dense forest and began to search the mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.
When the time reached six o'clock, the sky was almost completely bright, and suddenly the sound of gunfire from the mountains and forests once again alarmed the whole valley!
Some of the people in the convoy also began to show their heads, and a large number of mountain bikes sprayed with tower shield logos in the distance were also rapidly approaching the battlefield.
If they don't fight at this time, they will soon have no chance to fight, and if those cavalry are allowed to move freely, they will soon be able to divide the ambush formation on Kinah's side into several small pieces, and then annihilate them one by one.
The most frightening thing in battle is the commander's hesitation, but it's clear that Kenah, who is rumored to have dragon blood, is not that kind of person.
With a roar, the valley once again erupted in a dense burst of gunfire.
Some of the cavalry who had already approached them were hit and fell to the ground, but this also made more cavalry come closer, and the security guards of the tower shield security company who rushed to support also entered the dense forest from the slopes on both sides with guns.
The situation changed in exactly the opposite way, the attacking side became the defensive one, and there was not enough ammunition and could only struggle to support it.
