Chapter 1202: Let's Find the Map
Regis and Chen Yuan had discussed before that before the plane landed, they should try to keep the map as secret as possible. It's better not to say more, not to say more. so as not to cause extraneous branches.
But now that Arthur has asked, they can't afford not to answer. But fortunately, they have already discussed how to answer similar questions before.
So Regers then replied, "The 10,000 people we brought this time are mainly military. ”
Suddenly, Regers and Chen Yuan immediately heard a small inhalation sound coming from the radio. Apparently Arthur was once again startled by Regers' answer.
In fact, it is no wonder that Arthur and the others were shocked, considering that their settlement has a population of more than 80,000.
But their standing army is actually only about 5,000 people!
Others, though, have 45,000 militia reserves. But these are not real soldiers, but just adults fit to fight.
These people, who are usually engaged in production and labor, have not received much formal military training, let alone many opportunities for strengthening, and it is really difficult to say how much combat effectiveness they can have on the battlefield.
And the Americans were able to send 10,000 troops at a time! That's twice as many as they have on their reserves!
In addition, Arthur and others at this time also seemed to habitually ignore the existence of Huaxia.
But none of that matters now.
Because Regers had already begun to explain at this time: "What we are looking for should be in Leicester Town. But we don't know exactly where it is yet, so we may need to knock Leicester Town down in its entirety to find it slowly. We couldn't get in touch with you before, so in order to ensure that the mission can be completed, we need to bring some more troops with us this time. ”
"And what exactly are you looking for?" Arthur asked curiously.
Regis hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's a map." He adds: "A map left behind by the famous British explorer Fooma. ”
"Fuma!" Arthur was surprised and said, "You mean the map about Shambhala?" ”
Foma is a native of Birmingham, and as one of the most famous explorers of the 19th century, his legend is no stranger to here.
So when Regis said that they were looking for a map left behind by Foma, Arthur immediately thought of the mysterious map about the legend of Shambhala.
After all, this is also one of the most famous legends left by Fuma.
Regers nodded and replied, "Yes, that's what we're looking for." ”
Arthur couldn't help but ask more curiously, "What are you looking for that map?" Legend has it that the map has long since been lost, and it is not in England! ”
"No!" At this point, Regers replied: "We have ample evidence that there should still be a rubbings of that map left in England, and that it is in Leicestertown, in or near Foma's house!" ”
He continued: "As for why we were looking for that map, of course it was because we wanted to go to Shambhala. ”
"But the point is, why do you want to go to Shambhala? Looking for those treasures? Now that the world is like this, what is the use of you looking for those treasures, even if you find them? Arthur continued to ask, chasing after him. But when he said this, he was suddenly startled, and then immediately asked in surprise: "Or are there no zombies on your side of the United States?" ”
At this point, Regers replied, "No! Of course, we have zombies in America, and the situation is just as serious as yours. The reason why I want to find Shambhala is precisely because of the presence of zombies in this world. ”
"We've heard that Shambhala is a beautiful hideaway, and we guess that there might be a place to hide from zombies. What's more, in Shambhala there are medicines that can make people stronger, just like spiritual flesh. We hope to get that prescription! ”
Regers said half-truths, and this is also the limit of what he and Chen Yuan discussed before, and this matter can be revealed.
However, it is often half-truths that are also the most believing.
For example, Arthur and the others have basically believed Regess's words.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then replied, "I see! Mr. Regers, your plane can land at Warwick Airport. We've had the runway cleared and the tarmac cleared for your planes to dock. ”
"Okay! Thank you for your assistance. Regers replied, "We'll see you in an hour and a half." I can't wait to shake hands with our old solid British allies again. ”
"Me too!" Arthur replied.
"Plus! Lord Arthur, there's one more thing. Regers finally added: "Our side has regained control of some of the satellites of the past, so we can communicate over long distances through satellites. Now, we're sending you a password that can be sent via satellite to see if you need it, so we can keep in touch over long distances in the future. ”
"Of course that's good!" Arthur didn't think much of it, and immediately replied, "Please send me the password, and I'll have one of our communications personnel keep in touch with you." Please teach him how to operate and use it. ”
"Okay!"
The two then ended the call.
Of course, the people on both sides continue to keep in touch.
After all, whether it is setting up satellite communication equipment or about the landing of the plane, there are still many details that need to be exchanged.
In addition, Arthur also explained to their communications staff that they wanted to learn as much as possible about the United States and the current situation in China with the Americans.
It's just that in his explanation, he always asked them to know more about the situation in the United States. As for Huaxia, Arthur didn't seem to care much.
************
After ending the call with Regess, Arthur and Harrison walked out of the telecommunications room.
After all, it was only five o'clock in the morning, and there was no one in the corridor, so Harrison couldn't help but ask a little cautiously, "City Lord, do you think these Americans will have any intentions against our settlement?" ”
"Probably not!" Fried, who was in charge of logistics, said: "Didn't they say they were here to find a map?" ”
He added: "Foma's former home is indeed on the Leicester town side. In the legend he left behind about Shambhala, it does mention that Shambhala is a paradise-like place, and maybe there will really be no zombies there. ”
"And it also said that there are drugs in it that can make people stronger. Maybe they really just want to get that kind of drug. At this time, Fried couldn't help but show a greedy gaze and said: "After all, if that medicine can be used to strengthen people's bodies like spirit flesh, it is really a good thing!" In the past, we could not believe that there was such a drug in the world, but now that there is a spirit body, why can't there be another drug that can make people stronger! 2k reading network
