Chapter 32: The Same Pleasure

Thirty tired garrisons, five Panthers, and a captured Stitched Tank, without any air cover and without knowing whether they could get support, escorted three hundred civilians with their families and mouths, and chiseled through the array of millions of sandmen who had guns, cannons, and worked together, and sent them to the city.

If it is really done, it must be a brilliant achievement that can be listed in history and military textbooks, and it can even be praised as an epic of an entire civilization thousands of years later.

Let's ask, which cool protagonist will not be in the limelight? Isn't it fragrant to be a hero like a sage of civilization who is famous in history? Therefore, Yu Lian's heart was moved...... That's weird!

He's not stupid!

Yu Lian rolled his eyes, wondering if he should use his psionic energy to take the ball of flesh in front of him that had been slapped into a living to feed the space amoeba. At this time, the few people who came with the parliamentarians, who were probably representatives of the people's will, had already begun to make noise.

"yes, yes, it's safe to be in the city."

"Now that we have soldiers, they can protect us, right?"

"Yes, seeing that it is already outside the city, it is unacceptable for everyone to continue to stay in the wild!"

"You're a soldier, aren't you? Why don't you say something? Isn't it your job to protect us? ”

"We want safe houses, clean beds, doctors and hot food!"

Why don't you all be pruned into balls of meat and fed to the amoeba? Yu Lian thought with a smile.

Dr. Banksy behind him was embarrassed, and went up to explain but was besieged before he could speak; Ina was already showing her anger. The soldiers saw this, some were overwhelmed, others gathered. Seeing this scene, the representatives of the people's opinion stopped a little.

Mr. Senator glared viciously at the "representatives of the people's will" behind him: "What are you doing? What for? What kind of mob are you? Everyone is a celebrity with a head and a face in Xinyumen, can they be a little decent? ”

He should still be very prestigious, and he made everyone shut up stupidly, and taking this opportunity, he had already grabbed Yu Lian's hand and said with a pleasant face: "I understand, this kind of thing needs to be discussed in the long run, and this is indeed not a place to talk, please come with me." Just a little treat, too. ”

Yu Lian wanted to shake off the other party's hand, but this personable Mr. Councillor actually had some wrist strength, and he couldn't move rough in front of everyone. With such a hesitation, he was dragged to the most luxurious RV in the fleet.

Yu Lian knew that this was the 825 model of the Kodo beast RV produced by the alliance. Its indoor living space is huge, all kinds of living equipment are complete, and the materials and energy are enough for five or six people to live in it for two or three weeks. In addition, the top-of-the-line model of this model can also be equipped with military armor, liquid metal coating, shields, and nano repair machines, which is even more resistant than the stitched monster tank that everyone captured. Even if you run in the wind and fire, in a sandstorm or even acid rain for a week or two, you can still keep it glamorous.

Standing in front of this vehicle, which seemed to be a mobile villa, Yu Lian felt a little in awe for a moment (because of its price).

He knew that all the soldiers at Station 12 would have to go without food or drink for ten years before they could afford the price of this big guy. But not far from this RV, dozens of dusty passenger cars and trucks were scattered there in no order. The ordinary citizens, who were also dusty, wrapped in gray-colored windproof cloaks, gathered there blankly and even numbly, like a group of puppets.

They still have some satisfying food in their hands, but it is nothing more than some convenience foods that have been stored for a long time, and there are not many of them.

Of course, they didn't dare to start a fire, so they could only lean together and surround themselves around some small heating equipment with very low power. The body wrapped in the windproof cloak shuddered, no different from the scavengers and vagabonds who wandered in the shadows of the metropolis.

Yu Lian had seen such a scene many times in later generations, whether it was a human or another intelligent race.

It stands to reason that the galactic society, which has been able to cross the sea of stars, has already reached an era where there will never be a shortage of explosive materials for productive forces, but this is not the case. Whether it is because the scientific and technological tree is crooked, or whether the statement that "the productive forces determine the relations of production" is not absolutely correct, Yu Lian is not too sure.

He only knew that the superior had different unpretentious and boring pleasures in each age; But all living beings have similar sufferings and hardships in every era.

"You see, warrant officer, I didn't lie to you. We lack food, we lack cold supplies, we lack medicine. Everyone is actually at the limit. After a while, there was no more canned food or brown bread. So, I hope you can understand your anxiety as well. Mr. Councillor's face was full of compassion.

If he hadn't said this in the RV, blowing the natural warm air sent by the simulated ecological equipment, swaying the Shengzun red wine in his hand, and putting exquisite snacks on the crystal coffee table in front of him, Yu Lian would have almost believed it.

"Poor hospitality, no need to be polite. You've just finished a war and need to rest. "Mr. Councillor is very welcoming, or rather, too enthusiastic, like a friendly and hospitable uncle next door.

He poured Yu Lian a glass of red wine, "Warrant officer, I heard that your officer is a student at the Central Defense University?" This is a graduation internship! ”

“…… Precisely. I'm graduating next summer. ”

"That's great, I graduated from the civil engineering department of the Wu Gang Military Academy, but I didn't get into the army in the end, and then I got a degree from the Venice Business School. You see, we have the same background, so that's the basis for good communication. ”

It took Yu Lian nearly two seconds to understand what the other party meant. Because he is a student of the National Defense University and the so-called "elite bureaucratic group" in the military, he is qualified to have an equal dialogue with a top student from a prestigious school like Mr. Senator. If it was not him who was leading the team now, but Lieutenant Mondssen, the councillor would never have been so polite.

Well, no problem is quite logical. It is the various chains of contempt that constitute the class, and also the society. Of course, academic contempt is also a part of it, and the proportion is quite large.

"We are the elite of society and the country, and we only need to take on greater responsibilities once in a while, you should understand, right? Of course, there are even some things that may be misleading. ”

"This, Your Excellency...... What exactly do you need to do, just say it. ”

"Very good, straight to the point, this is what our military academy elite should look like." The other party complimented.

Yu Lian felt that if he wasn't the so-called "moon man", Mr. Councilor would probably think that "rude **, really not enough to plan" or something.

"I understand your concerns, warrant officer. With such a small number of troops, it is impossible for you to escort everyone to break into Tulon. The trucks and buses that the refugees were riding in couldn't even stop the claws of the athlons. ”

The councilor's words surprised Yu Lian a little, and the other party smiled when he saw this: "Didn't I say it, I also studied in a military academy, and I can be regarded as your senior." Basic military knowledge is also available. It's just that from my standpoint, I really can't keep everyone sane. ”

Yu Lian shook his wine glass and looked at each other quietly. Whether it's pretending to be your own person or pretending to be a poor person, it's the traditional art of these guys, and whoever takes it seriously is a fool.

"However, you've seen this car of mine, too. This kind of RV with shields and armor can make up three or four in the convoy, plus your few Panthers and vehicles. As a force for an assault should be enough. ”

It must be admitted that what Mr. Senator said has a point. Although there is no monster in the team like Kodomon 3 that can be directly crushed by a large speed dragon, there are indeed a few high-end RVs with better defense than the Panther car - after all, this is the new Yumen, and the guys who dare to come here to buy property always have to spare their lives.

In terms of defense alone, this is already a very effective armored assault force. It's just that Yu Lian still has questions: "...... Abandon those trucks? ”

"In the breakout, they will only be a burden, and your nobleman should know better than me."

"There are at least 1,000 people in the convoy, just these few RVs...... Can it fit? ”

"That's where I say and what might be misunderstood. You are still young, warrant officer, and you will know in the future that no matter how hard you try, there will always be unsatisfactory and unfair, maybe this is life. However, we must not delay great things because of the pursuit of this illusory fairness. ”

What exactly do you mean by big things? Your own life?

"There should be a hundred people in the RV, and I'll bring some important people and their families. Rest assured, warrant officers, they are all celebrities of a certain status, and they have some prestige in the council of Tulon, well, even in the galaxy itself. At the end of the matter, only one person will remember that you saved the lives of a hundred people, including the elderly and children. ”

However, I will remember that I abandoned another thousand people, including old people and children.

"Of course, the rest of the people are indeed a little pitiful. You can leave a small team of men and horses to protect them, as long as you hold the valley mouth, it should be able to support until the rescue. Well, the spirit of the universe willing, they must be able to persevere to the end. ”

Yu Lianqiang resisted the urge in his heart to destroy something, and his smile remained unchanged - at this time, he could still laugh, which surprised him.

“…… Why not wait a few more days. Your Excellency, I reckon that a counterattack will soon be launched in the city of Tulon. Reinforcements from the Town Guard and the Outer Ring Fleet should also arrive soon. Why should we venture into the city? ”

"Oh, haven't you already seen it? Everyone's supplies won't last long. The councillor took a sip of wine and threw a small cake into his mouth.

Yes, wait a day or two, and the people who lack food and clothing may be going to shoot you. Once a person is anxious and hears the cry of a child because of hunger, no matter how weak he is, he will turn into a monster. That's why you want me to escort you into the city first, right?

Therefore, the materials of the whole fleet should be managed in a unified manner, and the surplus materials of the rich should be distributed to the poor who lack food and clothing. Such an option wasn't on your radar in the first place, was it?
