Chapter 350: Direct [2]

After the two of them finished talking about business, they began to talk about the day, without any burden about those things that no one knew about each other, one would be the secrets of the Federation, the other would be the news from the East, Mr. Jack was very knowledgeable, and Durin thought it was very interesting when he chatted with him. Perhaps because he was affected by dreams, he was a little sensitive to the word Oriental, and couldn't help but ask about the news about Oriental.

In fact, as early as more than 170 years ago, the empire had already had contact with the East, but at that time, the war was scorching, and the wars between the Provincial Ya Dynasty and the Guert Kingdom and the Yaoxing Kingdom were almost uninterrupted, and the visiting Eastern Mission at that time left directly when they saw this. Later, the other side came twice, and each time it came, it was always a time of war, and the continuous wars made the Easterners think that the West was a barbaric country, so they broke off contact.

After that, the empire eliminated the provincial Ya dynasty and the Guert kingdom, achieved partial unification, and the obscure merchant alliance in the south established a state, and the north and south faced each other, and there were often conflicts between the two sides. Under such circumstances, the Empire and the Confederation did not send a mission to contact the Orientals, who might be on the other side of the world, partly because of the lack of seafaring skills, and no one dared to guarantee that they would be able to return after going to sea until they knew how far away the other party was.

Second, both the Empire and the Confederation were focused on each other, and they did not have the time and financial resources to support the large Voyage Missions. So the matter dragged on, and it was the merchants, smugglers, slave traders, and fugitives who began their journey to explore the Eastern world. Whatever their purpose or desired result, they discovered the Eastern Continent and brought back some exquisite special goods.

In the mouths of these people, the East is a very interesting place, and their system and civilization are obviously different from here, which makes many people full of curiosity about the mysterious East. If it weren't for the fact that the journey was too far away and there were too many problems on the way, perhaps everyone would have started to explore the world of the East a long time ago.

The two were chatting happily when suddenly Thomson knocked on the door and walked in with Dorin's permission. He nodded to Mr. Jack with some embarrassment, he didn't know this person, but the mayor was able to solemnly entertain this guest here, obviously the other party's identity or status was very special.

"Mr. Jack is my friend and will always be my important partner, and he can and has the right to know anything in this city. Dรผhrin used the word "city", which was to remind Thomson to speak in private if he had nothing to do with business.

Mr. Jack also understood the meaning of Doolin's words, and did not feel anything wrong with it, he smiled and nodded slightly at Doolin, and then looked at Thomson.

Thomson's lips quirmed before he said, "There's a little bit of a problem on the construction site in the center of the city, and some people are preventing us from bulldozing the land. โ€

Du Lin was stunned for a moment, Mr. Jack frowned first, and then said to Du Lin half-jokingly: "I didn't expect that in your city, there are still people who don't give you face, these people are so bold, I am a little surprised." โ€

He was joking, but behind the joke he was also deliberately reminding Durin that you have to get these people done, otherwise people will question your control over the city.

Durin also reacted, and when he stood up, Mr. Jack also stood up, and Durin knew what he meant, and did not object, and walked towards the door with a calm face. Soon, the two cars ran towards the city center with the dust on the road, one after the other.

The car that Durin sat in was just mentioned by people from Nam Lindes, and he only arrived at Otis in the morning, and it was not a luxury car, ordinary, more than 10,000 yuan, and it was a good car for ordinary people.

Some distance from the city center, Doolin saw two AT-1s parked on the side of the road, surrounded by a large crowd of people. These people looked very excited, and one of them used the crutches in his hand from time to time to hit the mechanical leg that was several circles thicker than his whole person, constantly pushing and threatening the operators.

The AT-1 is a weapon-carrying platform, which looks like a six-legged crab from the outside, twelve meters above the ground, and can carry four field guns or sixteen large-caliber linkage machine guns, or a fully woven vigilant tactical fortress. At present, the AT-1 is in a semi-retired state, and there have been many problems with this mature weapon-carrying platform in the war, and the AT-3 weapon-carrying platform has begun to be installed, and soon the entire army will eliminate the AT-1.

In order to suppress the domestic extremist ethnic organizations and various resistance forces, as well as to form a military deterrent to the Federation, a large number of weapons carrying platforms of this model were produced, so that there was a little accident when changing the equipment - for example, there were almost 140,000 units of AT-1 that had not been touched in the warehouse, and they were all brand new.

Such a huge waste made many patriots put forward a lot of very "moderate" views on this, and finally at the request of Mags, the original manufacturer of the AT-1 had to make a supporting retrofit engineering street, so that this war weapon became a construction machine.

The two of Doolin were sent to him by Governor Harry to help him complete the renovation of the city as soon as possible, and about five or six more would arrive at Otis in the future.

These machines were originally designed to serve the war effort, so they were faster, more stable, and more powerful than ordinary construction machines. It only takes ten minutes for a house to be dismantled into a pile of rubble, especially since this modification allows each AT-1 to operate multi-threaded, and four operators operate four huge engineering arms at the same time, which is much more efficient than ordinary construction machinery. It is precisely for this reason that the empire has closed down a large number of mechanical production factories in the past two years!

Seeing that those people surrounded the two construction machines to prevent them from working, and were also aggressive towards the driving operators, Durin frowned slightly, opened the car door and walked down. The moment before he closed the car door, he lowered his head and ordered, "Crash through!"

Thomson, who was sitting in the co-pilot, almost jumped up, what a joke, such a dense crowd would definitely kill and hurt him, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the driver would really listen to the mayor, so he immediately said "I'll go down too", pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Durin walked over to Mr. Jack's car and opened the door and sat in, and he said to the driver, "Go around twice and drive over." โ€

The driver didn't ask Mr. Jack what he meant, and started the car.

"It's a bit barbaric!", said Mr. Jack with a straight face, but soon he burst out laughing, "but it's useful!"

He was a very clever man, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in his current position, and if Durin had gone over as mayor and negotiated with the group of citizens who seemed to be very excited to solve the problem, it might not have been useful for a month or even a year. People sometimes oppose something out of necessity, but for the sake of opposition. Negotiating with these people will not yield anything other than anger, but the other person may be very happy.

The best way is to break up this group of people first, not let them unite to produce a group effect, and then find the key people to "negotiate" them, and the next thing will be solved naturally. In fact, this method is nothing more than differentiation, coercion, and inducement, and it can be said that it has long been played by people, but this trick is still the most effective.

Mr. Jack also thought about how to solve such a thing if he encountered it, but he never thought that Durin would be able to use the most direct means in the shortest possible time.

Sure enough, all successful people cannot be underestimated.

Dover lit a cigarette, took a bottle of wine from the co-pilot's storage box, and poured it on himself. He took two deep puffs of his cigarette, collected the ashes in his palm, and poured a little wine and pasted it on his face. Then he looked at the group of people carefully, and found a few guys in the crowd who seemed to be the leader, and stepped on the pedal of the power cabin, and the car swayed slightly and rushed out, like a sharp arrow off the string!

In fact, the speed of this car is only forty yards, but in this era, in this period, it is already a very fast car.

Soon someone noticed that the car coming in the distance did not seem to slow down at all, and some people ran away in panic, but some people reacted a little slowly and stayed ...... place.

It was already a few minutes before the new police chief Haidt arrived on horseback, and he just glanced at the man lying on the ground as if he was drunk and looked like a muddy man, and ordered the officers behind him to take the guy back before he began to deal with the accident. An old man and two young people were knocked down because they couldn't dodge, and it seemed that the old man was the most seriously injured, after all, his reflexes and physical skills had already declined in all aspects of his age, and he was the most real person who was hit.

One leg was bloody and fleshy, and he was wailing on the ground, and the other two young men were not a big problem, just bruises.

Haidt had the old man carried to a horse, then ordered him to be taken to the hospital, a hospital where there were only nurses and no doctors, and then began to deal with the accident here.

He looked up at the people around him, took out a small notebook and a pen, and asked, "Who made you gather here, and who is the convener and the person in charge?"

The real promoter was already screaming on horseback and being taken to the hospital, and the eyes of the others couldn't help but fall on a young man, who was stunned for a moment, and walked out of the crowd without knowing who pushed him.

He was also affected by the car accident just now, his arm was slightly bruised, his elbow was broken, it looked like he was seriously injured, and his sleeve was covered with blood, but it was actually only a minor injury.

Haight took a closer look at the guy and was ready to start recording, "What's your name?"

The young man was silent for a moment before he said, "Dewell." โ€
