Chapter 6: This is the Land of the Criminals

It took Su Zhan nearly a day to finally visit this small town called "Ochre Clothes Plugged Road", but there were not many shops and the like that he had passed.

Originally, he planned to go back to the central restaurant of the "Greenland Sea Dragon 1 Nuclear-Powered Icebreaker" to eat and drink, but now Su Zhan gave up this idea and decided to eat at the restaurant closest to the port in this town.

"Wow, this little brother is from Phipolos Eco?!"

"Ahhh

As soon as Su Zhan walked in, he was scanned by all the clerks and bosses inside, and these people seemed to be surprised by their identity.

He didn't understand very much, and walked to the front desk and asked in a cautious tone, "What did you mean by your expression just now?"

"And it's not interesting, it's just a little surprised, seeing that you're wearing a cold-proof suit from the E family, we know that your identity is special." The person at the front desk is the owner of this shop, not because he wants to do nothing here, but because Su Zhan is here, he wants to talk to Su Zhan in person, "Actually, I feel quite sad about you, the last batch of people who came died not long ago, I really didn't expect someone to come so soon, it seems that Major Shen Yihui has been busy these days." ”

"Do you mean something terrible happened here before this?" Su Zhan asked with some curiosity, "Although I am not the official executive commissioner of Section E, I would like to know." ”

"Little brother, you really have courage."

"Temporary workers are never afraid."

Su Zhan and the boss laughed, and then they had a very friendly conversation.

From the conversation, I learned that the boss's name was "Pullman Naka", he had changed his nationality, and he used to be a colonel in the German army of the Nordic military alliance, but this was more than ten years ago, and now he is a Fipulos.

Pullman, who contributed much to the construction of the original port and was one of the first to arrive here, hates war and seems to have a dark and untold history.

The history of this town with the port as the core is actually very short, only a short ten years, and this ten years is also the history of the development of the port, and the ten years of hard work in this place are of great significance to Pullman.

"What has supported me for so long is because of the child "Li", so I am willing to live here forever."

"Aren't you unmarried, where are the children?"

"I'm an almost thirty-five-year-old man, how can anyone still look down on me, the child I'm talking about is an adopted lonely and widowed child, when he was in his hometown."

Su Zhan realized that it was time to change the topic at this time, even if he had a good conversation with Pullman, but it was not good to know his past after knowing him for a long time.

So he deliberately diverted the topic and said, "What is the signature dish of this restaurant you opened, I want to try it." ”

"Greenland halibut, although I can't eat it in my hometown, I still haven't gotten tired of eating it, you will definitely like it."

"I'm looking forward to it, haha."

Su Zhan originally thought that the residents of this town were more resistant to outsiders, but he didn't expect that not only the owner of the store was enthusiastic, but the people in the store also chatted with him.

It's all trivial, but it can bring a little bit of fun, such as a stubborn guy who plans to hunt an arctic hare one day, and comes back with only its fur after a day, which should not be a joke, but it can cause laughter from everyone.

The people here seem to be very simple and kind, but in fact they are just too lonely, and this small town in Greenland is actually very rich, and you can make a lot of money by transporting resources.

Almost 90% of the people in the town have not left Greenland in the past ten years, and even if they do, it has been repeated.

Su Zhan returned to the Sea Dragon No. 1 icebreaker.

"This is not a port where the so-called resource transshipment is the main body at all, why didn't you tell me for so long?"

"Looks like you're getting along well with the people in the town."

Shen Yihui and Su Zhan were talking on the deck, coupled with the cold of the external environment, the atmosphere was extremely grim, and the two of them stared at each other tightly.

Su Zhan saw the trace of grief in this man's eyes, and Shen Yihui saw Su Zhan's extremely eager attitude.

"At first I wondered what was in the cargo box of the hammer helicopter, but now it seems that I understand."

"The New Generation Motorized Infantry R&D Agency will not let go of any hidden and resourceful places, and the test explosion accident that occurred a few days ago was probably told to you by hospitable residents."

"Oh no, they've been experienced soldiers before, and it's self-defeating to let you fight them."

"Major Shen! Do you know that this is a crime, and if you let Section E know this, you are not afraid of implicating the residents of the town?"

While Su Zhan said angry words, he recalled the people he had seen in the town that day, and he didn't want those kind and innocent people to be implicated because of this.

"So, didn't the E department just send your E department's Xinyu to investigate us?" Shen Yihui asked rhetorically with a smile, "Oh no, I almost forgot that Xinyu is a member of the Hexagonal Star Agency, just a special advisor and temporary special commissioner of your E Section. ”

"Major Shen......" Su Zhan took a deep breath and calmed down, he didn't dare to imagine that he knew so many things in one day, "Conduct tests on the developed drive equipment without authorization, betray Fipulos, this military and E department will not let you go!" ”

The conversation between the two of them, if you let someone who doesn't know it, has no idea what's going on.

In fact, the people of this Greenland port are planning a revolution, and on the surface there is a shortage of materials and equipment, but in fact there are more drives and tests in the underground base.

Hoarding supplies, relying on the export of resources to obtain funds, buying parts from countries around the world, in this harsh environment, far from Fipulos, perhaps until now did not know what was going on.

The conversation between Su Zhan and Shen Yihui is over, knowing so much information, he doesn't plan to find a way to contact Fiplos, everything he imagines knowing now may have been arranged a long time ago.

He didn't go back to the cabin of the icebreaker to rest, and Shen Yihui didn't do anything to him, just forbade Su Zhan to enter the signal transmitter station, but in fact, he didn't want to.

Su Zhan returned to the previous store, but coincidentally, the boss was still there, and it was already late at night.

"Commissioner Su Zhan can't sleep at night?"

"Colonel Pullman, did you tell me all this on purpose, just to tell an outsider this important information......" Su Zhan sat on the chair at the front desk and said to Pullman in a self-deprecating tone, "It seems that I am still too tender." ”

Pullman looked calm, and when he arrived at a glass of wine, he handed it to Su Zhan, and then leaned against the counter and replied: "After all, all of us here are criminals, and so is Major Shen Yihui, who has not been here for a long time. ”

The content of this sentence woke Su Zhan up at once, and he seemed to know something now, the name of this town was "Ochre Clothes Plugged Road".

At first, Su Zhan just thought it was blind, but he didn't expect that this was a name from East Asian culture, which means a place full of criminals, of course, this name is said internally, in fact, the outside world knows only the port of Greenland, because it is only this place, so the name is "Pioneer".

"History doesn't write that ten years ago, a freighter sent a group of criminals here to do hard labor to open up the wasteland, and the reason why we were called criminals at that time was because of black history."

"Ten years ago? Black History?! Su Zhan's pupils dilated, and he was now completely aroused, "I want to hear about it." ”

"Do you know about the Tianhe-1 incident?" Pullman didn't want to tell the young man he hadn't known for a long time about the heart-wrenching past, but now it seems that he is still shaken, "It's ridiculous to say." ”

Pullman's Memories ————

Ten years ago, AD2140.

After the Tianhe-1 accident was restored, the government began to convict the people, but the complexity of the matter made it difficult to continue this stage, so there was some commotion in the Fipulos society, and even demonstrations broke out.

At that time, the corrupt and incompetent government tended to have no choice but to find a group of people to confess, and many of those people were not the perpetrators of the crime, and most of them were immigrants who had not obtained a hukou.

After that, they were directly convicted and sent to the extremely cold land, that is, Greenland, to open up the wasteland, and the more than 1,000 "criminals" embarked on the road of no return, and the beast freighter went there.

Despite the news reports at the time, all the news disappeared without a trace the next day, and the intelligence control was extremely efficient.

After that, the war between the East Asian People's Republic and the United Pacific Republic (2143-2145), to be exact, and the unstable situation in Fipoulos, directly brought spring to the port of "Ochre Cloak Road", and the government was powerless to govern it, and almost forgot about their existence.

During this period of time, the relationship between "Ochre Clothes Plugged Road" and the Nordic countries was very hot, and through resource trading, not only a large number of materials were obtained, but also a lot of drive equipment was obtained, and this relationship has been maintained.

However, this "spring" of development was only short-lived, and after the end of the civil war between the Philippos military and the TMS rebel army, the ruined Philippoulos government began to reorganize, and it was only then that such a port was conceived.

So from November 2148, Fipoulos resumed its jurisdiction over the area, but it was too difficult to enforce it, so they had to manage it themselves, and they only needed to constantly transport resources to Fipoulos.

————

"Not only did the government do nothing to remedy the 8,000 people who died in the Tianhe-1 accident, but it also sent more than 1,000 of us here to work as pioneers for ten years with the title of so-called 'criminals.'"

"And now the results are constantly being given to them for free, why, everything here is done by us, from scratch, the more than 2,000 residents of the town, more than 1,000 employees in the underground facilities, they don't want to."

Pullman's emotions began to get a little excited, and the smile on his face that he had always maintained gradually disappeared without a trace.

"But the black regime at that time also got the retribution for being dismantled and ousted from power for doing this, and you shouldn't have brought hatred to the government of the new era." Su Zhan listened to his narration very calmly, and then said his opinion, "If you explain everything clearly, then you will definitely be compensated." ”

"Compensation, what compensation do they take!" Pullman was finally excited, and he slapped the counter and asked Su Zhan, "Compensation means that we not only help them develop the "New Generation Motorized Infantry", but also help them assemble weapons, and have resources to transport to them, is this the so-called compensation?"

Su Zhan was stunned with fright, it was the first time he saw this amiable man get angry like this.

"But you're going to have to give it a try, right?"

After a few minutes of silence and embarrassment, Pullman finally calmed down, and he coughed, "Sorry, gaffe." ”

Su Xian once again saw that the "black history" has such a great lethality to modern people, and it is no wonder that during the time with Kecheng and Li Hao before, these two people rarely mentioned those things.

Because it will bring sadness, people living in a peaceful society will not know the pain brought by the "black history" to the parties, and Su Xian only experienced it a little.

"Young people, there is an ancient adage in East Asia that is not to forget history, even if it is black history, you should face it head-on, and you can't avoid it, otherwise people will not make progress, and will only create more black history."

"If you can't even figure this out, then I don't think we'll have much to talk about in the future."

With that, Pullman left the counter and walked straight out the door, handing over the store directly to his own employees and to the other "criminals".

Su Zhan, who stayed there, was silent for five minutes, his eyes seemed to be looking at the wine bottle, but he was actually sluggish, he was thinking.

After a long time, Su Zhan stood up and left the store, but standing at the door, he looked in the direction that Pullman had walked before, and he was already gone.

"Colonel Pullman Naka......"

"I understand, I know what you mean." Su Zhan muttered to himself in a low voice, his voice a little weak, "But if you are obsessed with the path of revenge, it is also the path of self-destruction. ”

When the young man said this, another sentence seemed to ring in his ears: "Do you really understand?"

Su Zhan sighed deeply, sorted out the somewhat wrinkled winter suits, and then turned his head to another direction - the entrance to the underground facility of the "Ochre Clothes Plug Road", which is also the place where the "New Generation Motorized Infantry Research and Development Agency" is located.

PS: Let's talk to readers first, the story in the first part of the third part, there is no real so-called justice and crime, anyone can be a villain, the first part is mainly to describe the problems brought about by black history, in short, it's not strange who jumps back, no one is a good thing, everyone has a black history, and the same is true for the protagonist Su Zhan, but he is more of a witness to the events after the black history.
