After Ding Chen disappeared in the mountains near the old city, Su Ying sent someone to inform the apartment. Of course www.biquge.info, she would not elaborate on the dangers faced by Ding Chen and the others, but said in general terms that they were separated during the battle, and they may have entered the southern mountains, without even mentioning that there was a forbidden area there. On the one hand, this is because of the need for secrecy, and on the other hand, it is also because Su Ying has no way to explain the situation in the forbidden area to the people in the apartment.

The impact of this news on the apartment was actually not as big as Su Ying imagined, because in general, Rogge and Kiki were marginal figures in the apartment, and even most of the people in the apartment didn't know Kiki at all. And the only ones who will worry about Rogge are Zheng Yu and Luo Li.

In contrast, Ding Chen's popularity is a little better. Because of the reason for his birth and death many times, everyone is very concerned about his whereabouts, but for most people, the degree of concern will not exceed the amount of food stored this winter.

In the past few days, a series of events have happened one after another, which has made Dad a little overwhelmed, especially because Wang Tiren attacked Gu Lunmu's convoy, causing a large number of casualties. This has led to a shortage of manpower to build winter camps for refugees. Ben Cheng will only provide some supplies, and the rest of the work still needs to be solved by the apartment itself. Privately, there are already complaints that Daddy's decision to take in the refugees was too hasty.

In order to obtain food and supplies from Ben Thanh, Daddy finally agreed to include the apartment in Ben Thanh's protection. In return for taking in refugees for Bincheng, Li Wuyang is ready to declare a fourth-level civilized gathering area for the apartment before officially submitting the expansion map.

If the condominiums are simply included in the territory, the Ben Thanh government only needs to explain its actions to several nearby agglomerations and report to the central government in the capital area, after all, the condominiums are not in the default sphere of influence of any large agglomeration, and belong to the category where the virtuous can live.

For the apartment, the only exception is that because the apartment is also the supply point of the 11th district, Li Wuyang still needs to explain to the 11th district, of course, that's all, the 11th district is too far away from the apartment, and his hand can't reach here.

In any case, the apartment is indeed very close to Bincheng, and Bincheng, as a second-level civilization area, also has priority over lower-level civilization in the expansion of its territory. If it was District 53 or District 49 that Wang Qinian had annexed the apartments, things would have been a little more complicated - they would have to explain to Ben Cheng why they had put their hand under Ben Cheng's nose, and if Ben Cheng objected, even if it was just for the sake of mud, ********** would not approve the request.

But if you declare a level 4 civilization for the apartment, things get complicated. On the one hand, except for the two special districts, other levels of gathering areas are not eligible to declare the civilization level of their own sub-districts alone, so this matter must be handled before the apartments are included in the official territory of Ben City.

On the other hand, once the apartment has obtained the official civilization level, it is equivalent to obtaining the qualification of an independent agglomeration area at the same time, and in order to prevent the merger from happening, the merger of the two agglomeration areas requires the leaders of both sides to go to the capital region to explain to the ruling committee, and then the ruling committee will send people to investigate in the two places and confirm the reasons for the merger before proceeding.

Obviously, this is much more complex than the option of a direct annexation of apartments.

The only thing that made Li Wuyang willing to pay such a big price to promote all this was that if this result could really be achieved, it would be possible for Bincheng to advance to a first-level civilization by having two separate civilization gathering areas at the same time, which had never happened in the history of gathering areas for more than a hundred years.

However, District 11, as a direct competitor of Bencheng, may want to see Bincheng contain the power of the capital region in the north, but they will never be willing to have another civilization of the same level to share the cake with them.

In this case, it is understandable that Li Wuyang hopes that his father can get the support of several nearby gathering areas. In fact, what he wanted Daddy to do was to win the support of Districts 53 and 49. Although these two gathering areas are only third-level civilizations, they are the closest to the apartment, and if they have no opinion, the other gathering areas lack a reason to put them on the table even if they want to oppose them.

So Dad decided to visit Wang Qinian in District 49 to seek his support.

But maybe it's because too many things have happened these days, and my dad has become ill from hard work and actually fell ill.

Considering that it is about to enter winter, once it snows, you can't travel far, so Ye Dai volunteered to travel instead of her father, on the one hand, Wang Qinian is a friend of Ye Dai's father, and he is Ye Dai's uncle, and District 49 has been silently supporting the apartment, just because of this incense. It is reasonable to say that Ye Dai should visit this uncle.

On the other hand, after Ding Chen's disappearance, although Ye Dai was very worried, as the five-person management team of the apartment, she couldn't worry about it every day like Carlo, and every day was very difficult. This state of affairs is obviously not conducive to the reloading of ammunition operations that require stable operation, so it is better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk and take a break.

Of course, Dad also knew Ye Dai's intentions, so he just persuaded him, and seeing that Ye Dai insisted, he agreed.

Ye Dai has another advantage of traveling instead of her father, that is, her identity is not as sensitive as her father, and she can talk more casually, so let her communicate with Wang Qinian first.

For this trip, Dad sent Li Xiang's father and son and the duke out. The duke's duty is to be a driver, driving a four-wheeled electric off-road vehicle gifted by Bincheng, Li Xiang is responsible for safety, and Li Jing is responsible for the maintenance of the car.

Before leaving, they also got another unexpected group of companions, that is, Wang Tiren and his team.

Because of the exposure of his whereabouts, it was obvious that Wang Tiren had no advantage this time, and the high-level officials of the 12th District attached great importance to Wang Tiren's report that he was attacked by the snow watching troops, and quickly ordered them to abandon the mission and return.

When Wang Tiren and his entourage came out, they were airborne to the old city on a medium-sized transport plane, but when they went back, obviously no one could afford the air ticket, so they had to return by land, and they just needed to pass through District 53, so under Su Ying's intentional reminder, they were able to go with Ye Dai.

Of course, Wang Tiren will not be satisfied with this halfway mission, but he is also a senior officer, and he knows that there are quite a lot of factors that need to be considered for this kind of mission, not to mention the cancellation of the mission that fails in the middle of the mission, even if it is successful, it is possible to reverse the mission goal.

It's just that when you watch this kind of thing, it is understandable, and if it really falls on you, of course it won't be good, so Wang Tiren is in a very bad mood.

Compared to him, Tie Zhengyu's soldiers were very happy, after seeing those two thrilling battles, most of them gave up the idea of making a contribution, and felt that it was great to be able to return alive.

In this way, two groups of people with completely different goals converged and headed towards Area 53.
