Thanks to Simon's Crusader Humvee, there is a towing hook behind it, anyway, at this time the slave town is in a mess, all headless flies seem to be running back and forth, Simon and his party quickly hooked an unloaded flatbed truck at will, the modified Humvee is extremely powerful, the gladiatorial slave squeezed the flatbed, the skylight opened, Ramirez crossed his hands, silently watched the shackles lifted, and at present, only Simon and a few people were only afraid of the gladiatorial slaves.

"Give me a pack of cigarettes, it's really damn bad, I can run into three ruling families." Simon's previous sunglasses were lost when he escaped, he frustrated his forehead, Peter opened the passenger seat locker, and opened a Black Swan brand cigarette for Simon, saying that Longhu was really thoughtful about things, and even the driver's seat locker was stuffed with gifts, since visiting the headquarters of the Iron Army, Simon was stunned that he didn't spend a dime on cigarettes.

Black Swan brand cigarettes are purely rolled by the technicians of the tobacco union in Zone E with plantain leaves, palm leaves, etc., including cigar tobacco in the southern bay area of the Montenegro Free Zone, and are divided into pure cigars and cigarette types. The former is basically reserved for the black-walled aristocracy, and even the Iron Army is only enjoyed by middle and high-ranking officers. The latter is the scraps of the former, and even so, the Black Swan cigarettes are still much better than the civilian cigarettes of the Black Star, Ohio, and Golden Beauty who use vines as substitutes.

A puff of deep smoke lingered around the tip of his nose, a trace of sweet spring intoxication, the car window rolled down slightly, and the smoke came out, Simon smoked with one hand and drove with the other, and said in a muffled voice: "This thing is very common? Mellon's fight with Solomon and Oposis? ”

After all, Simon has been in the Steel City for only three or four months since he woke up from the frozen chamber of Fort Kent, so he naturally doesn't know much about the intricacies of the northern star, and only knowing a little common sense that the yellow-mouthed child knows is not helpful.

Ramirez took Peter's cigarette, the old mercenary used to use matches to light cigarettes, and gave the reason that lighters were prone to explosions, and he didn't know where to believe in the fallacy. However, it may also be because Simon is used to using Zhibao. The one-eyed old mercenary analyzed: "If you don't deal with it, you won't deal with it, it's really the first time I've seen a melee like today." I only retired from Longhu in recent years, and spent most of my time serving outside the home, along Route 77, and only returning in the winter, when no one was idle. Everyone knows that the Mellon family is a military family, a staunch ally of Franz, and the big three of the army: Franz, Mellon, and Barrymore. ”

Half a cigarette was gone, Marco muttered, and reluctantly stood on the skylight to eat the wind, staring at the gladiatorial slave behind him, compared to Ramirez's almost perfect service resume, this old pervert was much more good, mostly receiving orders from the necessary defense circles of the steel city, such as clearing out some of the outcasts that the army was too lazy to deal with, and the slang among the people in the market was extremely familiar. Simon once wondered if the old boy was a bit of a peachy business.

"The ruling families are all rotated by the Overseers of the Vault, and the remaining seven council families are not so important that few can remember them all. Recently, it is not only Solomon who has been doing things, but also several small families that have been brought up by the Solomon family, such as the Black family, which has a lot of influence in the thirteen towns, the Moschi family, uh, this family should have been on the throne a few years ago, according to the genealogy, it belongs to the latecomer class, well, it is the first batch

Residents of the law into the homeless group. The most famous of the Moschi family is Holland Moschi, born in Steel City, and as a result, he became an officer of the Imperial Guard, and the succession to the throne was on the side of the rebels, and he slipped back after losing and participated in the third phase of Ofossis's opening up of the Western Desert, and when he came back, the movement made it bigger, that is, the year before last, the parliament was reorganized, Horan led a commando team loyal to the Black family, and kicked out the Ryspoli family in the Electoral War, and now I heard that he went to Franz's 'Claudius' guard again, and he is really a legend. ”

In normal times, Simon would have been more than willing to hear such anecdotes, but his mind is now full of Mellon's fight with Solomon, which means he has a chance! Elijah Solomon's affairs can't be kept a secret for the rest of his life, and if it is found out that according to the Citizenship Act, he will be sentenced to death for hunting the citizens of the Black Wall, even if Hydra protects him, then Simon will not want to take a step out of Area M, and the best way to solve this problem once and for all is to force Solomon to shut up, just as Simon gave up his blood oath of revenge against Sergeant Kenan of the Old City of Dragonlake Army.

"Getting to the point." Simon glanced at his watch, it was almost noon. Strange to say, AATS watches seem to have activated a function of time freeze for a long time, and Simon has clearly seen more than a few manuals. But for Simon, there was a time overload that was more than enough to care less about such aids.

Ramirez thought for a moment and outlined: "Mellon is rooted in the army and needs slave mechanics to work in military factories, Mellon is hawkish, and Barrymore is dovish." The Solomon family has a monopoly on the pharmaceutical industry, and many parliamentary families directly call it 'morphine sellers' and 'drug dealers', so Solomon naturally wants more workers to go to pharmaceutical factories or biological factories. After the fall of a neutral city-state like Mandsville, which had a certain foundation, these two danced the most. Ofosis was mainly engaged in foreign trade and had few industries. ”

The most important point of systematic education is to give people the ability to think independently, Simon is very sensitive to this, and he immediately grasped the crux of the problem. The conflict between Mellon and Solomon over the distribution of slave labor is only a small microcosm, and the conservative military industry rejects the profit sharing interests of the new high-tech industry. It remains to be seen whether this contradiction can be reconciled. At least, Simon now understands the source of Mellon's and Barrymore's kindness to him.

The pure white soot of the black swan cigarette was scattered on his knees, and his Hydra military uniform jacket was covered on the back of the driver's seat of the Humvee, and his military dress was left in the Hydra apartment, no matter how faint it was, military habits had long been deeply rooted in Simon's bone marrow, and he usually subconsciously did not choose a military dress unless he met with the commander.

It is estimated that the elegant, wavy purple breeches axis and bright gold Hydra military uniform made Brigadier General Reginald Ledoux continue to have a good impression of Simon in the army. In addition, it is impossible for the Iron Army not to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Simon's background, and it is not surprising to find out that he is a pre-war awakener. An official member of Hydra who had a blood feud with the House of Solomon, and most specially, this person came from the military. Who else can the Iron Army like Simon?

Perhaps Adolfina did have some limitations. Simon thought, who can make Longhu bow his head? Counting on Adolfina's forgetful character to urge Longhu? That can only be a secret gesture by the commanders of the Iron Army in advance.

"Parliament is a contradiction between the ruling families of me

You're not qualified to get involved, just know it, and do the job at hand. Simon "ding" opened Zhibao, continued another black swan, smoked between his fingers and burnt yellow, the smoking age was not long, and the smoking addiction was quite heavy. "Ramirez, you're okay, just wait for Jonathan, find a clean woman to talk about your loneliness, Ma ......"

Before Simon could finish speaking, Marco lowered his head excitedly and exclaimed, "I'll treat me, I'll treat me!" I'm willing to stay there! ”

"Get out!" Jonathan, who was pedaling the car, gave his middle finger up. Simon laughed and replied: "As far as your virtue is concerned, you have to give people a few green hats, save you from being beaten, I will buy the polar bar in a few days, wouldn't it be better to drink and make girls there, keep your eyes to see what potential seedlings there are!" ”

"Okay!" The pervert was not sleepy when he heard this, but when his head retracted with a "pong", he hit the sunroof of the car, and Rao couldn't extinguish Marco's cavity...... Enthusiastic. As for Ramirez, of course, he knew that there were some decisions that there was no need to object, and acquiesced in Simon's arrangement for him.

When Simon and his party returned to K82 Lakeside Village, it was past noon, and as soon as the Humvee stopped, the villagers rushed to watch the six gladiatorial slaves who jumped off the flatbed truck quite vigilantly, and many men scolded the women and children to hurry back. As the leader of the settlement, Jonathan took a lot of time to explain that the six freed slaves were bought to serve as village guards, but looking at the suspicious eyes of the people, it was clear that the villagers did not trust them.

Jonathan's mother-in-law hurriedly served bread mixed with wheat bran and debatable jerky of debatable composition, and Simon picked up a long stick and took a hard bite, realizing that he still had to soak enough water to chew it. If it weren't for the fact that Simon and the others were distinguished guests, the villagers' bread would normally be filled with fine mineral powder, edible fibers from wood, and fish sticks that were dried enough to be used with daggers. Although the blade valley is a variant of wild wheat, although it is a second or even three crops a year, the yield of this thing is really too low, and the taste and nutrition are all near the bottom line that people can accept.

Simon swept over the gladiatorial slaves who were squatting on a piece of bread, and his head couldn't help but hurt a little, it is not difficult to train this group of people, the key is how to ensure loyalty, the estrangement between the villagers and the freed slaves cannot disappear at one time, Simon is always bad at asking Jonathan to let the female villagers and the gladiatorial slaves pair one by one, if this is the case, K82 estimates that people's hearts will be scattered.

"You first weigh according to Longhu's recruit selection method, be a little gentle, and when I am free, I will come in person, these six people will be retrained, and it will be much easier to have the next ones come." Simon leaned over and said to Ramirez. He didn't take canned luncheon meat for lunch, and enduring the food of the trough cake was a training for the Rangers.

"How many do you want in the end? Hundred? Two hundred? The cost of training for Longfor recruits is very high, are you sure you can afford it? Ramirez was noncommittal. This group of freed slaves has a certain fighting foundation, teaching them Simon's intended joint combat methods, such as the wasteland infiltration of the Steel Rangers, which is costly, special equipment, training consumption, daily diet, and most importantly, the grant of industry, such financial resources, can be borne by private individuals?

Simon scratched his forehead, the spring wind from Lake Erie was still not warm, and he said, "You just have to train good people, and I naturally have a way to make money." ”
