Chapter 66: Heading for New Vegas~
The so-called "bother for a few days" is really just "a few days", and Leeds and they barely have enough time to catch up with old friends such as James, Elder Lane, Sarah, and Dr. Lee, and they are about to embark on the road to the West Coast.
Of course, this is not because Krausa is really in a bad mood and needs to find an enemy to kill him immediately, in fact, Brother Bing is in a happy mood after coming to the wasteland, and the problem on his side can be regarded as "solved". The real reason is that the Brotherhood of Steel has a diplomatic team heading west, and today is their planned departure day, and Leeds, who don't want to break their legs, will naturally have to hitch...... It's unmistakable, and it doesn't need to be emphasized in other worlds, but it has to be mentioned in this unique wasteland.
It was Leeds' legacy about three years ago that the Brotherhood of Steel finally pulled away from the weapons development program and turned to repairing a large number of pre-war nuclear-powered cars that had been considered garbage in the ruins of Washington. This vehicle, which is similar to the Enclave Eyebot, is quite suitable for use in the wasteland in poor road conditions, and is also nuclear-powered for long distances, provided that you have the ability to protect your vehicle in this fierce, cold wasteland - after the destruction of the Enclave, the Brotherhood of Steel will only barely have that confidence.
But in any case, it is safer to reach the West Coast in less than a week with this hate-pulling thing than a group of people running on foot for more than a month, and as a diplomatic team, it is natural to choose a safer way.
Oh, forgot to mention, Lez they just returned to the Wasteland Brotherhood of Steel has this diplomatic team. It can't be considered a "coincidence", it has something to do with the 'prayer content' when Leeds crossed.
"Although I am positioning you as 'about to set off for the West.'" Leeds, who was sitting in the car but had the illusion of being in a speedboat because of the suspension technique, said to Poole, who was in the passenger seat in front of him. "But I didn't expect this to be the case...... Don't you even wait for the birth of a child? ”
"Sarah's due date is still far away......" Poole, dressed in power armor, replied in a somewhat strange voice...... Unlike Leeds, he doesn't have a 'backpack' system, so he naturally wears power armor everywhere he goes.
"Boy, do you know what I mean, or is it that the 'intelligence' of the wasteland scholars has declined now?" Liz scolded angrily.
“…… I knew the journey was dangerous. "Yes, it's not about time, it's about whether you can come back.
Agents of the Brotherhood of Steel defeated the Enclave, who possessed the most powerful technology in the wasteland, but it does not mean that they really dominated the entire wasteland, and after becoming a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, Poole knew that there was a sparse but powerful organization called the Academy hidden in Boston.
Wearing mighty power armor doesn't mean invincible, with murderous deathclaws, scattered Enclave troops surviving, and super mutants who always have heavy weapons...... to the end. A group of gangsters who are crazy about gathering fire with the advantage of numbers can also teach you how to behave.
Therefore, it is necessary to clearly understand that the only sphere of influence that can truly be regarded as the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel is "Washington, D.C.", and the operation of the past three years is only to add another suffix of "and its surrounding areas". Once out of this range, no one can predict what the future path will be.
"But...... I think it's best for me to do this in the SAR Brotherhood. "Why doesn't Poole want to wait to see the birth of a child? But for this reason, he felt that it was not good to delay this important business for a few months, or to send someone who could not understand Elder Lane's thoughts to complete the task.
Perhaps at this time, Poole was in the same mood as James that day. For the sake of the ideal in his heart, even the most beloved child can only be placed in second place with tears.
“…… It is because of this spirit that I am sure that you will one day 'set out to the West'...... Whatever the reason. "Liz sighed, which was one of the reasons why he didn't just 'parachute' to the West Coast.
“?” James didn't know that he had led the entire Rivet City research team. Poole didn't know that he had led the Brotherhood of Steel to a new path, great and unaware, about this kind of person.
"That's fine. I think you'll go back well~" It's a big deal to help yourself as a bodyguard, and it's not unacceptable to take this as the 'main task' of this trip. Of course, the main quest of Ada and Leon is still 'find the stealth suit'. "Then again, we don't know anything about the content of your diplomatic activities, even if you go to the West Coast to declare war, I don't know~~ Explain."
"How is it possible to declare war...... Poole said speechlessly, thousands of kilometers away...... Even if the ambition is so big, the hands are not that long.
"We have already made an agreement with the NCR using communication equipment before, and now it can be regarded as an alliance," it was an agreement initiated by the SAR Steel Brotherhood, to be honest, I heard that the maverick East Coast Steel Brotherhood contacted itself for this, and the NCR senior management was also at a loss, "The main task of this trip is to provide some technical assistance to NCR......
"Wait, technical assistance?" Liz looked incredulous, let alone the radiation world, how can there be such a good thing in general?
However, the Brotherhood of Steel under Elder Ryan said that there was such a good thing, "After all, the NCR is the most powerful force in the wasteland, and based on our investigation, we also believe that it is one of the few forces that has hope...... We want to be able to make life better for more wasteland people. ”
"That is to say, 'civilian technology' is just ...... "If it is military technology provided, the Iron Brotherhood will definitely rebel immediately, and the 'change' in the past three years cannot be changed so completely," even so, I still wish you will not be reprimanded by future generations as 'capital enemies'~~"
"We can't let filthy ambitions lead us away from the beautiful vision we had when we built our cities." Poole shook his head.
"You're almost ready to become a priest...... "Liz only hoped that he wouldn't be a 'priest' to the point of forgetting how to survive in the wasteland, "since there is a main mission, then there are secondary tasks, right?" How about saying it in one breath? ”
"Well, it's classified...... it doesn't seem to matter to the people of the other world, "one is to try to get in touch with Mr. House and get technical support, and the other is to try to get in touch with the Brotherhood of Steel on the West Coast, hoping to resolve their dispute with the NCR." ”
“???”
"Hehe, you don't seem to know much about the West Coast now, I'll explain it to you slowly......"
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The NCR, also known as the "New California Republic", is located on the West Coast and initially has an initial sphere of influence in the northern part of the California region.
Nominally, the NCR is committed to restoring the democracy, freedom, and rule of law of the Old World in the wasteland, but in reality, its rights have corrupted some people...... However, this is also not moving, any force will have this process, and the future Special Zone Steel Brotherhood will also have it.
By the early 2240s, the population of NCR had reached 700,000. In terms of political influence, economic power, and population, the NCR is arguably the most powerful force in the world, and it also has the largest active force.
The NCR has a hostile relationship with the Western Brotherhood of Steel, all because the Western Brotherhood of Steel is a "normal" Brotherhood of Steel, and will do anything to plunder technology. The Brotherhood of Steel believes it is on the side of the victors during the years of war, but no matter how many people die under the Brotherhood's advanced technological weapons, the NCR always has a seemingly endless reserve to replenish it. With the advantage of NCR numbers and reserves, the Brotherhood was finally beaten to the point where they could only huddle in a corner.
By 2281, the NCR's influence had spread to the Mojave and southern California, where they found New Vegas and Hoover Dams, barely affected by the 200-year-old war.
New Vegas is owned by Mr. House (the designer of the Liberty Pioneer), who commands a bunch of robots, and the NCR has a series of treaties with him, and a relationship of coexistence is for a short time.
The Hoover Dam had great military and economic value, and Mr. House handed it over. However, at this time, a powerful military organization called the "Caesar's Legion" began to fight them for the Hoover Dam......
This is exactly the situation in Leeds, where they are about to go.
[War, war has not left this wasteland. (To be continued.) )
