Chapter 69: Negotiation

[Maybe you've already known the Brotherhood of Steel in your own way, but if you want to know about another Brotherhood of Steel, let's cut to the chase and start from the beginning......]

[The Brotherhood of Steel's first priority is to preserve pre-war technology.] New California had a lot of pre-war equipment and tools, but the country's capital was on the East Coast. Decades ago, the Western Brotherhood sent a force all the way east to recover the scientific achievements of the cities and bases on the East Coast, led by Owen Lane. They first passed through a pre-war place called "Pittsburgh," where the situation of the people was much more miserable than in other places after the war, and they seemed to have discovered something, but only the elders knew what it was. When the Brotherhood leaves the bleak city, they are joined by the 20 mutant children they have rescuedβ€”the beginning of many of Lane's unconventional practices. 】

[Not only did he save the children, but he also recruited them as new members, but most of the members of the Brotherhood were born into the Order, and it is very rare to accept outsiders in any branch of the Brotherhood, let alone recruit a group of scavengers and slaves...... To some he is a hero, to some he is a pragmatist in need of manpower, and to some he is a traitor to the Brotherhood of Steel. 】

[Later, they arrived at the ruins of the capital, where in addition to bandits, slaves, rampaging zombies, and mutants, there are also super mutants who occupy an absolute numerical advantage, and the Enclave, who has the strongest technology in the entire wasteland but tries to eliminate all the "mutated wastelanders". Here, the inhabitants of the wasteland can only live in towns built on the ruins of highway entrances, basements of pre-war memorials, and towns built with crashed bomber shells surrounding a nuclear* bomb that has not yet exploded. 】

[Fortunately, this unit found a treasure trove underneath the pre-war U.S. military headquarters.] There was pre-war intelligence, equipment and weapons, and the key was a giant combat robot more than ten meters high. It's called the Freedom Vanguard. Designed by Mr. House, as you know him, it crushes soldiers in power armor with a single kick, throws small nuclear bombs, and shoots high-lethal lasers from its eyes...... But because of some kind of technical problem. It has been in a situation where it has not been able to go to war, and it took 20 years for the scribes of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel to get it moving. 】

[Ryan uses this treasury to establish a stronghold and engage in a protracted battle with infected creatures and the Enclave.] The goal of looting pre-war supplies is becoming more and more secondary to Lane, who is preoccupied with protecting those around him, and some believe that he has completely betrayed the tenets of the Brotherhood of Steel and has fled as a "banished", similar to the Western Brotherhood as you know him. 】

[Until three years ago, a major event was used as an opportunity for the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel to break out a decisive battle with the Enclave. After many difficulties, the Brotherhood was victorious. Since then, the Eastern Iron and Steel Brotherhood has gone further and further in the direction of 'deviance', vigorously developing people's livelihood technology, improving its own living standards, and even stepping out of the so-called 'treasure house' to establish a city 'brother city' that no longer uses scrap iron and gravel as raw materials. Right now...... We're here to make more wasteland dwellers enjoy the benefits of these livelihood technologies. 】

"Oooh ohβ€”β€”! Say more, say more~~! We're going to hear the story of the Western Brotherhood of Steel! That's what the crowd was all about, and the caravan members who passed the time in the bar clapped and shouted as they clapped vigorously, as if they had forgotten that this was an NCR camp and not an ordinary town.

Well, the soldiers of the NCR actually listened very attentively. This is despite the fact that the people of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel "proselytize" here is a proof of this.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't been in contact with the Western Brotherhood of Steel." The storyteller's story is not hearsay, it comes through his own eyes and ears, "but the stories of the Enclave, the Water Purification Project, and the Nuka-Cola are all interesting." I'll talk about them one by one......"

"Oh~!"

》》》》》》》》》》》》》》

"β€”that's the true personality of a so-called 'storyteller,'" Liz, who was also listening to the story at the bar, thought for a moment and added. His words were really interesting, and he didn't overshadow his likes and dislikes with reality. Brother Bing, don't dislike him for talking, just take it as if it's not good to listen to stories. ”

Leeds spent some time with the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel. But after listening to the passage just now, he did feel that he had a more comprehensive understanding, at least the story of Pittsburgh that he only learned today that the image of Elder Lane had become great again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ How about you listen to him rambling in the car for four hours straight? "The reason is just that I took out a bottle of nuclear cola and drank it...... Until now, Krausa doesn't know what kind of divergent thinking can make the experience of a pre-war zombie named "Harold" and "Nuka-Cola" linked.

"Four hours...... Hmm, that's kind of awesome...... Doesn't your throat hurt? ”

"Hmph, it's almost more verbose than those politicians." Brother Bing, who looked unhappy, shook the sunset SAR in his hand, a popular drink on the West Coast before the war, unlike nuclear cola, this thing is not adulterated with "radioactive elements", it is considered a healthy drink? However, in terms of taste, everyone thinks that nuclear cola is better.

By the way, Kraussa didn't want to hear any "sunset SAR stories" from the storyteller.

"Speaking of politicians...... Leon looked at the tightly guarded conference room by the NCR, "Poole, have they been in there too long?" ”

This is the Mojave outpost, and the Brotherhood of Steel diplomatic corps, which had been driving by the postman after a night on the outskirts of Clear Springs, had already met with the NCR officials waiting here under the watchful eye of a bunch of NCR soldiers to discuss the issue of technological gifts.

Even in this wasteland, as a meeting place for NCR representatives to meet with representatives of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel, this camp of a few low bungalows with barbed wire and sandbags is a bit rude. It's just that on the one hand, they don't want the people of the Brotherhood of Steel to swagger around their lair, and on the other hand, they don't want to run too many wrongful roads, so they don't want to run too much, so they don't agree on it.

Now, half a day has passed since the start of the talks, and I don't know if the group of people inside can fill their stomachs by drinking sunset salsashi and wine, and there is no intermission except for urinating.

"If it's just technology transfer, it's very simple, and it's ...... to send and receive at the same time" In fact, the relevant livelihood technology data implemented in the "Brother City" on the East Coast has been transferred to the terminal of the NCR's scientific researchers, which has already made the NCR officials smile, and there are a few more ways for them to be able to swallow bottle caps privately, "However, the NCR must be very unhappy about the contact with the Western Brotherhood, right?" ”

The person Poole intends to contact is actually Mr. House, but Mr. House is neither an ally nor an enemy of the NCR, so there is no big problem on that side...... Just the Western Brotherhood...... Could it be a conspiracy against the NCR that the Eastern Brotherhood is in contact with it?

It's normal for them to be so suspicious, and the "Eastern Brotherhood story" that the storyteller just said is one of the proofs, no matter how Elder Lane deviates, the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel is a branch of the Western Brotherhood of Steel after all.

"Whew, I don't know if 'future cooperation' is qualified as a condition for negotiation." Liz yawned, he was too sleepy to drink and listen to stories outside, and he didn't know how the people inside managed to persevere.

"Huh?"

A bunch of casino chips seemed to make him feel a lot more energetic.

"The types of chips in Qingquan Town and all the major casinos that can be found in this camp are here......" Ida sat leisurely next to Leon, not intending to explain how these chips were used, "but is it really necessary to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix into a phoenix?" We don't even know what it is? ”

"Hehe, whatever, if it's useless, it's a prank~~"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ha ...... "Ada said she better go find a stealth suit......

"My instincts can't be wrong~~ Interesting things are there~~" (To be continued.) )
