Chapter 166: Nagahama

America was neutral, Africa surrendered, and Greenwich declared annexation. Counting from Prodi's solo invasion of Eden, the war, which was supposed to be delayed for several years like the First Unification War, came to a hasty end in Warsaw in less than three months.

In less than 100 days, Aleknajik was abandoned, Eden, Moldova, and Shanljuurfa were seriously damaged, and Warsaw, the first medium-sized green island in human history to be declared abandoned, showed the cruelty of this war to all mankind with a complete destruction. However, the huge profits made the people of the victorious side invisible to this cruelty, and public opinion was clamoring for a global unification, and the war was far from over.

On November 2, Greenwich's 20 green islands were annexed to the League. On the 3rd, Allied forces entered Greenwich. On the 6th, troops were stationed in Africa and the Mediterranean Sea to supervise the implementation of the annexation procedures on the islands. On the 22nd, the Ark announced its full support for the Allied forces, once again emphasizing compliance with the leader's assignment. On the 29th, the Pacific Rim Alliance suddenly announced the start of the merger process.

At this point, apart from China and Māori, only the League of the Americas, which had previously declared neutrality, could retain a minimum degree of autonomy, and a vast empire spanning Europe, Asia and Africa was born. As the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces, Ling Tong's prestige soared, and for a while he was wildly sung by the people in the unknown area, and the entire alliance was filled with a strong atmosphere of being a soldier in charge of the country.

On 4 December, the Pacific Rim Alliance was dissolved, and the coalition parliament urged the Māori government to provide an explanation for the unnatural deaths of captives in Vientiane.

Maori gives an explanation. On December 6, IC64, Zhao Rui, President of the Chinese Alliance, and the Prime Minister of Maori, Mr. Testin. Oren held a high-level meeting on Solomon Island, during which the two sides announced their formal separation from the Global Human Alliance, the establishment of an independent state, and the signing of the "Treaty of Mutual Assistance", and the formal establishment of the China-Maori Alliance. The whole army of Bergasus moved to Solomon, and completed the internal screening of the 1st and 3rd divisions of the Futu Army to garrison Luoyang, and the 2nd and 4th divisions to defend Beijing.

The next day, Ling Tong issued a notice of resumption on behalf of the Alliance, calling on all reserve soldiers within the age of 22-30 in the sphere of influence to return to active duty, with a total increase of 200,000 troops, plus the original nearly 80,000 allied troops, more than 100,000 troops owned by each force and 70,000 people from the defeated forces who accepted the reorganization, the total strength of the alliance reached 450,000, which was unheard of in the IC era.

The smoke of gunfire in Warsaw has not yet ended, the clouds of a new round of war have gathered again, the two behemoths are tense, and the complete united war called for by the media seems to have become a reality overnight, and people wait with bated breath for the coming of war.

However, the war did not break out, and although heavy troops were hoarded on the border, neither the nascent Huaxia-Maori Alliance nor the Global Human Alliance under the control of the Qingwei were certain of victory, and the two sides carefully restrained the armed forces that were gearing up, and the world entered a strange period of peace.

On December 12, IC64, the League Council suddenly passed the "Bill on the Prohibition of Illegal Non-governmental Organizations", which ordered the non-governmental organizations under its jurisdiction, including various fraternities, business alliances, labor associations and foundations, to suspend business for rectification by December 31, and complete the reorganization by February IC65, and follow the management of the Green Island government where they are located.

"Under the new regulations, non-governmental organizations are not allowed to exist across islands, must not gather members in any form, must not have more than 15 staff members, and must not possess high-end armed forces such as capable persons and martial artists." The core clause refers directly to the Waste Pickers Alliance.

IC64 is the pinnacle in the history of the Waste Scavengers Alliance, relying on the Mayan discoveries and frequent wars, the total number of waste pickers in the world has reached 770,000, with a total of 4 large waste pickers and 907 silver waste pickers. In terms of high-end armed forces, there are 7 capable people, 3 third-order martial artists, 1,744 second-order martial artists, and more than 30,000 first-order martial artists, and its strength on paper can be called the third pole in the world today.

The Global Human Alliance's provocation of the scavengers at this sensitive time was beyond everyone's expectations, but the development of events was beyond the limits of human imagination, and the Scavengers League, a great organization whose mission is to expand the living space of mankind and shape the history of human migration for nearly 30 years, has been completely chaotic overnight.

……

In the exploration manual issued by the Scavengers Alliance, there is a sentence called "where there is a lake, there must be an island", which generally refers to the fact that there must be green islands around the Zijing Lake with an area of more than 500 square kilometers, and the country of a thousand lakes in the Americas is the best explanation of this law, and so is Nagahama on the Japanese island.

Nagahama is a miniature green island with a total area of 84 square kilometers, located between Lake Biwa and Mt. Ibuki. Because it is not a livable green island, Nagahama has no registered population, but in the past 10 years, its permanent population has exceeded 30,000, and the average number of people on the island has reached 100,000, and the retail and service industries are extremely developed.

The four founders of the Scavengers Alliance traveled from Matsubara in the Kaka Alliance across the Korean Peninsula and along the Tsushima Seabed, which was exposed after the nuclear war, to the island of Japan, until Izumo was discovered in Hokkaido.

During their trip, they passed through a total of 12 miniature green islands, which were later called the "Rainbow Island Chain" in response to the name of Izumo Rainbow City, and Nagahama was the eighth of them, and the closest of the 12 green islands to the standard of small green islands, about 1,000 kilometers away from Izumo in a straight line.

In IC42, the Waste Pickers Alliance purchased this miniature green island in the name of the foundation, and spent a lot of money to complete the construction of the island, and Nagahama became one of the few miniature green islands with a station and a magnetic shield, known as the cloud companion capital.

Nagahama is famous for being the second center of the Wastepickers' Alliance, where the Alliance has built many of the world's most famous buildings, such as the Great Library, the Patent Issuance Center, the Mission Center, and the Survivors Society.

In a nutshell, the Scavengers Headquarters is responsible for assessing the Green Island Exploration, while Nagahama is responsible for the broader evaluation of the results of the Relics Exploration and the distribution of the Alliance's missions.

While discovering Green Island and handing it over to humans is a key factor in the development of the Scavengers Alliance, for more than 80% of scavengers, Green Island exploration is actually a thankless task, and they prefer to explore the ruins.

The Alliance has a clear price for every new book, every audio track or video, every craft and patent, and even the Mission Center distributes the approximate coordinates of the relics of the old world to the outside world at the rate of 10 tasks per day, these tasks are open-ended, all scavengers can pick them up, and they are evaluated and rewarded according to the harvest.

Being a scavenger may seem dangerous and arduous compared to working on the Green Isle, but it is a great way to satisfy the adventurous desires of the people of this age and to support a family.

On January 7, IC65, a team of 4 people appeared at Nagahama Station, and 3 men with all beards and tails gathered next to a man with a broken arm, faintly dominating him.

There are not a few people with disabilities among the scavengers, most of whom are the core members of the team because of their rich experience and special skills, but the disability represents the lack of combat effectiveness, so there are not many who are really leaders.

This man is obviously not among them, because his name is Andrei. Tolstoy.

It's been more than 10 years since I last came to Nagahama, where Phoenix found him and tricked him into becoming the director of the Returning Foreign Affairs Division, knowing that at that time he was in charge of the work of the Survivors Association and the Mission Center, so you can imagine how much trouble his departure will cause to the Scavengers Alliance.

In the past 10 years, Nagahama has changed a lot. The streets became lively, densely packed with all kinds of shops, most of which were bars and groceries, and there were also many weapon workshops, full of hot and cold weapons, but there were not many people on the streets, and every shop was deserted.

At the exit of the station stood a bronze statue of Wang Yiting, a 3-meter-tall bronze statue of the silver scavenger who had died in the Mayan exploration, maintaining a running posture in front of the huge Scavenger League mark, and his eyebrows were like eyebrows, bringing Andy back to the golden green island.

"Andy, Andy?" His companion pushed him in the back. These three partners met not long ago, the leader Tai is a first-order martial artist, Bell and Luo Hao are veterans, and they can barely be called skilled in combat.

The four of them walked together for 3 months and explored 8 ruins, and Andy didn't have the ability, but that big sword alone was enough for the three juniors to be convinced.

"I'm sorry, I saw that Ms. Wang Yiting remembered the past a little and lost her mind." Andy smiled apologetically.

"Do you know Your Excellency Wang Yiting?" Bell and Luo Hao shouted, those who don't know are fearless, these two have always regarded Andy as a second-order martial artist who was excluded from the elite squad because of an injury, Tai will overestimate it, but Andy never talks about his strength, and the smart Tai will not talk much.

"There was a collaboration with her, and she was the best ruins exploration expert I've ever met." Andy doesn't want to say more, Maya is the last memory he wants to face, he lost his comrades there, and he also lost the love of his life.

"No matter how good you are, you will die on the road of exploration." Tay rubbed his shoulders and put down a huge suitcase.

This is the harvest of their entire exploration, 217 books that are not registered in the alliance directory and 2 complete patented technologies, all the information totaling 72 kilograms, he carried all the way, "If you want me to say that it is good to hand it over to the Vienna branch nearby, aren't they independent, we will have more dealings with them in the future." ”

"Phew!" Luo Hao took a sip, "I support Andy at this point, those repeated villains, who were frightened by the Global Human Alliance, were busy drawing a line with the headquarters, I want to see why they can raise the 200,000 or so scavengers in Europe without the financial support of the headquarters." ”

"I heard that the fund account has also been automatically separated, and it is probably no problem to survive for a while with the reserve funds of the island foundations, but in the future, I will have to rely on the sale of patents and discoveries to support people." Tai casually analyzed.

"Isn't it an empty phrase that all discoveries are offered to all mankind free of charge? What's the point of being a scavenger like that? It's better to take care of each person, and sell it more expensive in the black market. Bell was indignant.

"That's what the allies are for. Without further ado, let's go to the Survivors Society. It would have turned into an argument any longer, and Andy interrupted them and walked alone towards the Survivors Society.

"You two backs." Tay kicked on the suitcase and looked worriedly at Andy, who was drifting away. He loves to travel with Andy, but now that the scavengers are torn apart, what should Andy do if he really wants to go to the disaster at this time?

Watching the two guys scolding and carrying the suitcase, Tai secretly shook his head, Bell and Luo Hao's family handed them over to him, and he was still obliged to take them back.
