Chapter 208: The Game of Heavenly Selection (32)
Nightchen was busy studying the recipes, and Catina Marlo of the Old Town, the Norse Warlock, had taken an important step forward, and the resolution of the Town Hall Council to bring the new town back under the management of the Town Hall was voted on.
Katina, Huorun, Yechen, Bob...... The war that many people longed for officially began with a whole squadron of about a hundred town hall employees armed with guns and weapons across the Sword River Bridge.
To the surprise of many, the reconquest of the town hall went smoothly and was hardly hindered. City hall employees occupy a prominent position on a block and then go door-to-door knocking and handing out leaflets about the various policies the town hall has taken to save the city and what the rights and obligations of residents have. The reason why the flyers are distributed instead of explaining in person is mainly due to efficiency. In the plan, five squadrons, a total of 500 town hall employees, were to run through the entire new town of Newun in the shortest possible time, in order to determine and consolidate the rule of the town hall over the land and its inhabitants.
The reconquest of the new town went smoothly and relieved many, but this did not include Katina, the evil sorcerer who wanted to spread fear, pain and despair through this armed operation in the old town, not the current rumors.
"That little girl is getting impatient."
On a bench in a deserted street park, sit Yechen and Huorun. Sitting here, you can just see the city hall employees who are walking around in a hurry not far away.
"Impatient, impatient, what can she do?" A smile appeared on Yechen's face, but his eyes were cold.
"Who knows what will happen to her." Huo Yun looked a little depressed, "That's a madman, or most of the warlocks are crazy, who knows what a madman will do." β
Yechen turned his head to look at Huo Run, and smiled in his heart. The reason why Huo Run's face was sad was not because she was worried about Katina's girl, but because her mage guild had recently been attacked by "unknown persons", and three employees had already been killed. Everyone knows who the so-called "unknown people" are, and those third-level professionals who are hiding have really launched a revenge - this is also normal, few of the trialists are used to swallowing their anger, and if the alliance dares to hunt them, they must be prepared to suffer retaliation.
"Our plans don't change, do they?" Yechen shifted his thoughts to himself. In response to the very likely reclaim of the new city by the City Hall, the five members of the coalition got together several times to discuss it, and finally came up with a plausible response plan.
Huo Run collected his mood and said: "Yes, the plan remains the same, we can't resist, or directly resist the city hall's reconquest of the new city, but we need to ......" but need to integrate into it and bring down the city hall from the inside.
This is the response plan negotiated by the five members of the alliance, and in Yechen's opinion, it is still very reliable.
At this time, two graceful and heroic women walked the streets of the old town, they were Saguna of the Thieves Guild and Sareya of the Ranger Guild.
"It's quite lively here." Sagunar said.
Of course, this kind of "liveliness" cannot be compared with before the world changes, but it is still a little better than the new city. In the new town now, even in the daytime, there are not many people on the streets, and at night it is quite lively, but it is a lively wildlife.
"yes, there's a shop here." Saraya was also surprised.
There are indeed shops in the old town that sell all kinds of luxury goods - ham sausages, bacon and the like. At this time, meat that can be stored for a long time is a luxury for ordinary residents. As for food, it is now uniformly distributed by the town hall, with only a little per person per day, to ensure that they will not starve to death.
The two women walked around the old town and finally came to the docks. Located at the mouth of the Jianhe River, the city of Newun was originally expanded with this high-quality wharf, which was very busy with a large number of cargo ships before the world changed. But now, this place has been assigned to the Shen family as a reward for providing a large amount of food to the city hall.
"That's the granary." As a ranger, Saria's eyes were very good, and several kilometers away, she saw the granary in the dock area that was protected by layers, "It's not easy to destroy it!" β
The people in power at the town hall are not fools, and the guys who really don't know the situation have long been cleaned out. They are well aware that the grain silo located in the dock area is extremely important. This importance is not only reflected in the objective aspect - without this food, ordinary residents will not even have that little ration, millions of people will face the threat of starvation, but also in the subjective aspect - these foods are the cornerstone of stabilizing people's hearts, only with this batch of food in hand, the city hall can control the hearts and minds of the residents of Newlun City, as long as the people's hearts are not confused, the solution can always be found slowly.
"Judging by the state of the granary...... "Saliya said helplessly, "we can't destroy it." β
"The plan failed?" Saguna frowned, a little unwilling.
"At the very least, the plan needs to be revised." Saraya, who is a little older, is more mature and steady, and she doesn't have so much sharpness and fire.
Standing in the distance and watching for a while, Sareya took the initiative and said, "Let's go back." β
β¦β¦
"Modify the plan...... Ye Chen said with a knife in his hand, "It's not easy, according to the information you brought back, we can't destroy the granaries in the dock area at all." β
"Want coffee?" Huo Run personally walked in with five cups of fragrant coffee, with a warm smile on his face.
This is a secret stronghold of the Alliance, a slightly cramped bachelor apartment, and after Saria's news is brought back, Huorun holds a meeting here to discuss how to solve the emerging problems.
"Thank you." Sareya took the coffee and exclaimed, "Huorun, it's still the most delicious coffee you have here, it's a supreme enjoyment." β
"If you like it." Huo Run handed out the coffee to everyone, put the tray aside, sat down in his seat, and asked, "Do you have any ideas?" Chen, you are the wisest of us, do you have any ideas? β
Yechen had just taken a sip of coffee, and when he heard Huo Run say this, he almost squirted out the coffee and said, "Ahem...... Ahem...... How am I the most ...... Still the wisest? How did you come up with the term? "This kind of showmanship is not beneficial, but it may attract trouble, you can give it to anyone, just don't put it on your head.
Huo Run waved his hand and said, "It's not important, what matters is what we should do now?" β
According to the plan, they will let the city hall reclaim the new town, and then find an opportunity to destroy the food reserves in the hands of the city hall, and the order that they have managed to maintain will completely collapse.
It should be emphasized here that their alliance hopes for a social collapse, and it can be seen from the establishment of this alliance that they want to re-establish order, and in the process of establishing order, they will firmly hold power and interests in their own hands.
That is, at the present stage, they are the challengers of the order, and the town hall is the successor and maintainer of the old order, and the contradictions between the two are irreconcilable.
In order to achieve the goal of re-establishing order, they must destroy the old order, which is the fundamental reason why they are intent on destroying the granaries of the docks.
After Huo Run asked this question, there was silence, and after waiting for a while, no one answered, Huo Run had to say: "Okay, this is the first time we have a discussion on this issue, everyone knows that there is such a difficulty, think about it after you go back, don't talk about the solution, but at least give an idea." Our next gathering...... It's set in three days, is that okay? Time is a bit tight, but there is no way, now that the situation has reached a critical moment, we need to hurry. β
Huorun's words were equivalent to the end of this gathering, and soon, everyone left one after another, and it was Yechen who stayed at the end.
Sending Saguna away, seeing Yechen sitting on the sofa, Huo Run said with a smile: "I knew that you guy had a way." She sat down across from Yechen and asked, "Tell me, how should we solve the current predicament?" β
"There is no difficulty that cannot be solved." Yechen first said a word of nonsense.
"Well, of course."
"But if you want to solve the difficulties, you have to pay a price." After a sentence of nonsense, Yechen finally said something that was a little useful, she looked at Huo Run, and said in a serious tone, "The more troublesome and difficult, the greater the price to pay. β
Huo Run also reciprocated with a serious expression and said: "We have come this far, no matter what the price is, we must face the difficulties, we have no way to retreat." β
After being silent for a while, Yechen suddenly chuckled and said, "Things are not as bad as you imagined, the price must be paid, but ...... We don't have to pay the price. β
"I smell conspiracy." Huo Run said, his tone was a little strange, as if he was happy and worried.
Yechen looked through the window in the direction of the old city and said, "According to the news that Saguna and the others brought back, the city hall has made perfect measures for the protection of the granary, and it is completely impossible to destroy it by external violence. β
The word "external" caught Huo Run's attention, and she thought for a moment and said, "You mean...... Are you trying to find opportunities from within? "It's a good idea to break down the security of the granary from within, and it's difficult, but not as impossible as it was originally planned.
"We can give it a try." Following this line of thought, Huo Run kept deducing in his head, and muttered, "We need to find a suitable person, who can't be too prominent, preferably a middle manager, and is responsible for inconspicuous work, but is important, with loopholes that can be exploited, such as ...... For example...... "For example, for a long time, she didn't come up with a result."
Huorun shook his head and said, "This is a good idea, but if you want to improve the idea and implement it into a plan, you still need a lot of data to analyze, as for a lot of data...... Damn, that's a big difficulty. "With such an important location as the granary, how can the specific security measures be outside? It's definitely a hassle to get enough information, and it looks like another insurmountable peak.
"Maybe we can change the angle." Yechen said suddenly.
"What?" Huo Run, who had been awakened from his contemplation, did not hear clearly for a moment.
"I mean, we can think about a different starting point."
"Change the entry point...... Huo Run frowned and said, "What is the most appropriate entry point, you can just say it." β
Yechen looked at Huo Run, observing her every move, every slightest, and said something strange and unpredictable: "Do you think Bob is satisfied with his current position?" β
These words were like the whispers of the devil, turning into a chain and strangling Huorun's neck, and for a moment, she felt that she could not breathe. After a long while, Huo Run came back to his senses, with a complicated expression, and said, "Are you trying to ...... Plotting against Bob? Do you know Bob's status at City Hall right now? β
As police chief, Bob wields the city's most important weapon, the police arsenal, and the city's most powerful force, the City Hall employees. How could such a figure not have real power in the town hall? In fact, he is now the Speaker of the Provisional Council of the City Hall, the equivalent of the mayor, except that he is not so arbitraryβthe mayor himself was not an arbitrary.
With Bob's help, they could easily destroy the granaries in the docklands, but according to Yechen, what price do they have to pay to rebel against a character like Bob?
Huo Run said angrily: "Do you think he will not be satisfied with his current status?" β
"I'm just offering an idea." Yechen looked indifferent and said, "If we can't get Bob to cooperate, we can also find someone else, such as the Shen family." Imagine that the food in the hands of the city hall now originally belonged to the Shen family. β
"For this reason, the city hall allocated a large area of the dock area to the Shen family." Huo Run reminded that food is indeed precious at this time, but the Shen family's income cannot be said to be small.
"Yes, now the dock area belongs to the Shen family." Yechen said, "Before the world changed, the dock area was the most prosperous area in Newlun City, but now? From time to time, you will also face the attack of abnormal creatures at sea, do you think that area is really a good place? β
Speaking of this, Ye Chen paused, changed his tone, and continued: "In addition, the dock area was allocated to the Shen family by the city hall, and the city hall can also be taken back at any time. Of course, at this stage, the city hall still needs the grain of the Shen family to maintain the stability of the people's hearts, and even those granaries themselves are in the dock area, but what about after that? Will the Shen family be at ease? β
