Chapter 244. Veteran of the Empire
The next day dawned.
The lightweight Hummer of the "Pioneer" type, marked with the emblem of the Hydra Hydra, drove out of the East City Gate, which was one of the main passages for the import of supplies from the Steel City, and the villages and towns that depended on the Steel City for survival would rush to the first minute after dawn, and after the city gate was opened, they would either carry their hands on their shoulders or shout at the mules and horses with stout physiques due to mutated radiation to load their goods.
Reasoning shouldn't be out of the city at this time, but Simon didn't want to swagger out of the city after dawn, and it wasn't a bad thing to pay less attention, but he found that he still missed the calculation, and the entire east city gate was impassable, if it weren't for the guards for the sake of the Hydra emblem, Simon would have to wait in line for a longer time.
"Damn it!" Simon pushed his sunglasses, leaned over, honked the horn, and a small truck in front of him actually had a horizontal steering wheel, blocking the road, and now the city gate was messed up, and the guards couldn't take care of the money.
Soon it was Simon's turn to go out of the city, and when he passed the sentry box, several soldiers wearing the uniforms of the city gate garrison with black background and blue edges raised their hands in salute, obviously, the young man who could feel his eyes sharp through sunglasses and a heroic face was an officer at a glance, and his sharp eyes read the double silver and one black rank strip on the epaulettes of the military uniform, which meant that this person was a captain-level officer of the Marine Corps of the Steel Army, and he was definitely among the elites of the Steel City.
The driver of the small truck who had committed the crime was caught aside by the guards, and began to ask "friendly" what the hell was going on, Simon glanced sideways, and the pitiful-looking, ragged vegetable grower replied one by one, and the back of the truck was full of fast-growing blades, and the wheat grains would not be hulled, and no one would abandon the wheat bran these days. The guard punched the man in the face, ignoring the man's pleading, and directly took away the bag of the most precious mutant berries in the car body.
Simon shrugged, this is all too common, and as soon as Simon stepped on the accelerator, the Humvee roared and rushed lightly into the vast field outside the city.
Simon held the steering wheel with one hand, rolled down the window, and put one hand on it, the lake breeze blew his forehead hair, and he looked like a young and proud victorious soldier, normal men look majestic and handsome in military uniforms, not to mention Simon, who is already young and handsome? No matter how bad a person is, as long as he is young and energetic, he can make up for the three-point difference in appearance.
Peter and Ramirez were already waiting at the East Gate, while Adolfina set out to investigate the brawl outside the Glatheham Tavern last night. After going back, she praised Simon's approach, which could not be done too rigidly, nor could she be bullied by others. "My partner is Adolfina Morfin!" When she heard this, she almost burst out of laughter, and immediately stood on her heels and patted Simon on the shoulder seriously, and said seriously.
"Resources are all you can mobilize, and so am I, there's no need to be ashamed or uncomfortable because of this, otherwise what would someone who married the Franz family think? From now on, you are not a big soldier, you can consider the crash officer class of the Steel Army, and remember, even if you are a chess piece, you must also make a car! Forced to castle! ”
Now that Simon had figured it out, Adolfina naturally recounted Vickers Solomon's intention to come to Hydra. That's right, she
It was indeed for the missing Elijah Solomon. This person has a high status in the Solomon family, his father is the third son of Wiltham Solomon, the younger brother of Solomon's current patriarch Wilm Solomon, who has been bright and studious since he was a child, but when he became an adult, he unexpectedly did not choose the traditional biomedicine of the Solomon family, but architecture, and once participated in the plan to expand the outer walls of the steel city, and then quickly transferred away. Elijah's famous Ring Fortress Complex in the Iron Ore Town of Ford City is one of the rising stars of the Northern Industrial Region's architects, with major projects such as the meter-gauge railroad and Interstate 77 being involved.
After all, the Solomon family is engaged in pharmaceutical and biological engineering, and the Solomon family accounts for more than 70% of the water and land medicine trade route of Steel City-Ford City-Mill City, and it has an out-and-out monopoly, and its factories that mass-produce anti-radinine and antibiotics are purely lying down to make money, and they are forced to rely on money to smash into the ruling family.
Correspondingly, the Solomon family's military strength is far inferior to its financial resources, not to mention the Franz family, which has mastered the Iron Army, "Claudie" and "Claudia", and it cannot be compared with the three ruling families that started in the military, Mellon, Barrymore, and Heinrich, and they are only stronger than the parliamentary families outside the ruling family, and they are firmly at the bottom of the ruling family's military strength.
With an engineer in his own hands who has a large number of defense maps for military buildings, and a citizen of the Black Wall, it's not surprising that Vickers Solomon himself stepped in. Melissa Latham, who came to Hydra to pay homage to the regent of the underworld, wants to get a little inside information. The point is, does Vickers know that Elijah is in Hydra? More serious, know that Simon did it?
Adolfina was dismissive of the question. "Hank Prince, how can I say it, I used to have a lot of suitors, and he is one of them. Even regardless of personal relationships, Longhu will at most put some smoke bombs to make Solomon tired for a while, their master is Franz, there is no need for taboos and no need for Solomon, as for Hydra? Please, if I really want to sell you, why bother getting you promoted? You can rest assured. ”
"Besides, when it comes to Hydra, how can you be worthy of you without scraping a layer of oil from Solomon?" She added.
What else can Simon do but believe her? Now that the matter is done, it will be solved, just like a grand battle with countless small battles, Prokhorovka is just a battle in Kursk.
When he arrived at K82, Simon gave Pete a look, and the latter immediately understood and ran into the shack, and soon pulled out a hairy man with fine stripes, and several women who were covering their shame with clothes giggled and chased after him, asking Marco for money.
"Good morning, ladies." Simon took out a few ten-dollar coins from his coat pocket, gave them to the girls, gasped for Marco lightly, and scolded: "Hurry up and clean up, if you don't see you at breakfast, beware of me cutting your eggs!" ”
Sure enough, it was a cheap and thick-skinned person, Marco asked Ramirez for a piece of anti-radiation, and rushed directly into the lake happily to harass the fishermen, Ramirez drooped down the goggles and said, "Virtue." ”
Simon nodded approvingly, but that didn't stop Simon from agreeing with Marco, and having a fetish wasn't a bad thing, just like Simon was keen to drink and smoke cigarettes and talk about guns by the way
。
Jonathan warmly beckoned the guests to have breakfast together, Simon looked at the blade porridge in the bowl and cement, and felt that there was no need to embarrass himself at this time, so he went to the Hummer to get a few luncheon meats, and took boiling water to make a plate of egg powder, this kind of demon breakfast that was widely hated by soldiers before the war was absolutely delicious at this time, and the consequence was that a group of half-grown children surrounded Simon, and he had to taste a few bites before he would leave. In the end, Simon simply gave the villagers the remaining half a box of canned luncheon meat, along with half a bag of egg powder.
Three more people came in the back seat of the Humvee, if it weren't for Jonathan holding the pedals of the car, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit down at all, Simon unconsciously shrugged his nose, and an indescribable sour smell permeated the carriage, needless to say, it must be Jonathan's old comrade-in-arms Jerrold, who got into the car together, and not everyone ate the anti-radiation Ning went down to the water of Lake Erie to take a bath, take a bath with pure water? I'm afraid it's not too much money to poke in my pocket?
"Is the Legion on the Empire's side in bad shape? Why have there been so many mass exodus in recent years? Simon asked.
Gerald didn't have the novelty of the wilderness wanderer sitting in the car, shrunk by the car door, smoked greedily, and explained: "If the treatment can be as well-fed as the security team of Steel City, even if you know that you are sent to death, there are many people who join the army in order to eat well, but it's okay, there is an accident in Long Beach City, and many legions have been cut off from supplies for some reason, I heard friends in the supply line behind say that the generals would rather have the supplies rotten than send them to the front line, some legions eat a lot and are well equipped, and our legions not only eat a thin meal a day, I had to send him to death in the head, and after a while, the supplies suddenly got better again, and after a while, our regiment was sent further south, and fell into a hole, and all of a sudden there was nothing, and the sergeant major took the lead in running, so why don't we run yet......"
Listening to Gerall's incoherent narrative, Simon barely understood the reason for the defection of the Imperial Legion. Combined with Adolfina's AATS watch, the Grand Prince of the Empire, who had been fed to the sharks, also had a piece. Nine times out of ten, it was the civil war of the succession of the empire a few years ago, and the eldest prince was defeated and thrown into the sea. No matter how strong the army is, once there is a problem in the rear, the combat effectiveness will fade no more slowly than the snow melts, especially when the new emperor ascends the throne, and it is normal to eliminate the army that was once loyal to the old school. In this way, the Battle of Alexandria a few years ago is quite interesting, and the elite Indian Commanders and the Second and Third Legions of the Empire were completely annihilated in Lower Virginia.
"Joe! Which legion were you from at that time! Simon shouted.
"Second!" The bald giant who was simply lying on the roof of the car said. "What about you?" Simon asked Peter again.
"The families of the soldiers, who stay in the rear and have nothing to eat." Peter replied.
This makes sense why the Jonathans, who live near Long Beach City (New York), met Simon in the middle of Montenegro (Appalachian Mountains) and chose to travel from the Black Mountain Free Zone to Steel City not as a detour, but as a shortcut.
Simon remembered the FPS game he had played as a child, Captain Rezenov, who was remembered for a generation, in a minecart driven to the ground in the Volkuta concentration camp, and said to Mason: "We are all the same, there is no difference in essence, fighters without troops, abandoned, forgotten, betrayed......"
"Me too......" Simon whispered.
