Chapter 62: Cannon Fodder Regiment!
"The highest ban in Tianyi City, all residents please enter the bomb shelter immediately. The beast tide has arrived, please do a good job of defense, the power and water systems are temporarily closed, please understand. ”
The sound waves of the city's announcement spread to every corner of Tianyi City, and all the citizens hurriedly brought home the children playing on the street, and those who wanted to go out to work hurried back. Hovercars are interspersed back and forth on various roads, and the lively Tianyi City is quiet at the same time, whether it is on the ground, at low altitude, or near the air.
The quiet city of Tianyi is filled with an eerie smell, a thousand-year-old tradition that civilians avoid in times of war.
This weirdness spread all the way to the prison, and Qin Lanshan looked left and right, as if his chest was blocked. He was secretly shocked, this is the legendary spiritual coercion? He can't see it, but because his martial arts are all wasted, he has become an ordinary person, and he is particularly sensitive to mental coercion.
Mirage lying on the ground, and fifty berserkers sitting cross-legged, opened their eyes at the same time. Looking at the ceiling in confusion, he muttered, "The beast tide is coming!" ”
The beast tide, though it had always been clear that this thing was coming sooner or later, seemed to come a little sooner than expected. Maybe because he wasn't prepared, no matter when it came, he would feel a little early.
"Hey, Berserker on the other side, aren't you passionate about war? If you think about it, we are in prison, and naturally we can't participate in the war. Why don't you give me the guns in your hands, and I will get you out. It's not counting your escape from prison, and you can join the army. I know many generals in the military department, and when the time comes, I will be introduced and it will be glorious to join the army! ”
Qin Lanshan chattered, trying to impress this group of reformers.
Mi Qi couldn't bear to say on the side: "Master, don't try it, you have tried all night from yesterday to today." They won't be impressed by you, because they're all brainwashed. Transforming people's sense of loyalty is their vitality. They are the berserkers of the City Lord's Mansion, and they will naturally be loyal to the City Lord's Mansion. Even if the City Lord's Mansion wanted to kill them, they wouldn't fight back. ”
"Don't they have thoughts?"
Qin Lanshan asked puzzledly, and the Bawu evil next to him snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Loyalty is the meaning of our existence, and you won't understand it if you say it, because you are not a transformed person." As for you wanting to go to war, it won't be long before we're the first to defend against the beast tide! ”
"The first batch?"
Misty said gloomily: "It's the legendary cannon fodder team, which has no effect at all." It's just to test the power of the beast tide, and it usually makes the felons test and lure in the early stage, and in the face of the boundless beast tide, they are basically dead and lifeless. ”
"What are you kidding, this is worse than a death squad, is this how the City Lord's Mansion treats prisoners? It's too inhumane, it's against the law, and I'm going to go to parliament and sue them. ”
Bwu sneered: "When did you think of the law when you entered the City Lord's Mansion to plot against you? ”
Qin Lanshan was speechless for a while, he was not a person who was good at using the law. His thief's eyes looked around, and he had no choice but to use his skills to escape from prison again.
"I advise you not to take chances, for a hundred of our eyes will be glued to you until you go into battle with us. If you can come back from the battlefield, then you will be pardoned for all your crimes and become a qualified citizen of the city, so it is better to pray, or my guns will not be as you wish. ”
Fifty people sat facing Qin Chaoshan Mountain, so that he immediately had nothing to hide. He snorted hard in their direction, and then crouched on the ground obediently under the muzzle of fifty pistols.
When the navy returned to the military headquarters of Tianyi City, the news of Commander Radel's death came at the same time. This war, which has not yet begun, has been smeared with a layer of darkness by the sacrifices of more than a hundred people.
At the military assembly, Carly and all the officers were in formal attire. The people of the military department sat on the left, and the meeting was presided over by the five generals. No matter how big the contradictions are, at this time, in the face of the crisis of the whole city, everyone at least sits together intimately.
The men of the lord's house sat on the right, Teuton in the center, and the lord Caesar still did not appear, but most of the leaders of the council were already present. This is one of the few collective meetings between the civilian and military systems, and the war requires everyone's cooperation.
"Give me a budget!" Carly, who usually likes to giggle, will show a solemn expression every time the beast tide comes. Because war is not a game, a single decision is related to the happiness of countless families. She turned to the council and said, "What does it mean that the council's finances have been slow to come up with a budget since I got the news?" ”
In Tianyi City, the budget is the thermal energy coin, and the energy converted into thermal energy is an important element to support the war. Naturally, the military department has departments dedicated to producing, storing, and using energy, but it will not work alone to deal with a major interracial war.
This is where the parliamentary treasury comes in, and they will give a budget at the beginning of the war. This is tantamount to funding the military department, and this congress is a mobilization and money rally.
Carly's gaze looked at the Speaker who was presiding over the council, and she said in a heavy tone again, "Didn't understand me?" ”
"According to the summary of the previous two years of war, this time we set the budget at 80 million ......"
The council was sweaty, but even he couldn't change its decision. He naturally knew that this budget was too low, even the heat coins taken out by the War Council in the previous two years were more than 100 million.
But this year, these guys voted like a wind, and he couldn't hold it at all. His gaze was on Teutonic to the side, and only the City Lord's Mansion could make the council so united.
Carly hadn't spoken yet, and the officers at the military department had angry expressions. Teuton slapped the table and angrily scolded, "How can the council be like this, this is a time for the safety of the whole city." You officials and old men, all of you are selfish and only think about yourself, and this budget and military department will not agree to our city lord's mansion. ”
Carly said quietly, "Then whether the City Lord's Mansion is ready to condemn or dissolve the council, but it doesn't seem to work now." The budget is 80 million, and we have no money halfway through the war, I don't know how the front-line soldiers will feel? ”
"There's no way to do this, the first two beast tides are more than 100 million. Parliamentary finances, establishing a model of the beast tide economy. We have to pay not only for money, but also for all aspects of preparation after the defeat of the war. Of course, we believe in the military department, which can exceed the task. ”
The Treasurer of the Council spoke, his face pale all year round. He is a relatively popular official in Parliament, he is extremely strict with every payment, and he himself is one of the few officials in Parliament who does not pursue personal enjoyment.
Carly's face changed slightly when she faced him. It is no wonder that the Sentimental Council dared to come up with such a price, it turned out that it was said that the Buddha was moved. She faced the finance officer and said in a slightly polite tone: "But just a day ago, the main ship of our navy died in the sea. This loss, the parliament will not consider it? ”
"The military department has to pay for the mistakes of the military department itself, and our parliament cannot control military affairs!"
The finance officials were meticulous, and there was not a single loophole in their words. Although the people in the military department were angry, this kind of meeting asking for money was like a tug-of-war to go on slowly. However, the beast tide has already begun, and they either compromise or refuse directly, and if they refuse, the energy supply will not be able to keep up.
No one of the five major generals has yet to export, and what they export is an absolute opinion. However, above the five major generals, there is also a five-star general Carly. Carly didn't speak, just leaned back in her chair and fell silent.
Three beast tides, her first term as a five-star general in Tianyi City has ended. After this time, she will go to Paradise City in the City of Ten Thousand Cities to report on her work, and she will face the approval of the Ten Thousand Cities Alliance. Therefore, her future is in this battle, even if she loses to the Ministry of the Air Force, it is said that it is a matter of course. The people of the Ten Thousand Cities Alliance only care about her command ability.
But Carly couldn't do that, and a large part of the group of officers behind her was promoted by her. Even if she left here after the three-year period, she couldn't leave them with problems. She wants to fight a beautiful battle before leaving, to make the Tianyi City Military Department shine in the Ten Thousand Cities Alliance, and to pave a way to the alliance for her disciple Yalina.
As if sensing something, Arlina looked sideways at Carly, who was silent with her eyes closed. She remained silent, determined not to even have a future, and to fight with the council. And if the council does not compromise and misses the perfect tactical command point, even if this war is won, it will have nothing to do with her.
That was her future, and she left everything behind at this time just to pave the way for herself. Arlina forced her head to turn her head, then closed her eyes and said no more. The atmosphere on both sides became heavy, and the treasurer on the other side of the council opened his mouth, his demeanor somewhat relaxed.
This is much better than the temperament of the previous military officials, who have basically fought by this moment. He had to admire their cultivation, and when he was about to let go, Teuton had already slapped the table again and shouted: "The council is too unreasonable, our city lord's mansion has allocated 80 million yuan to the military department." I wish you victory in the first battle, and send hundreds of warriors to the first battle. ”
This hand can be described as brilliant, and even most of the officers in the military department had to accept this favor. As soon as the 80 million thermal energy coins came out, the atmosphere of the venue immediately improved a lot.
Dowler stood up and said: "The first battle has always been the business of my pioneer battalion, and all the soldiers of the pioneer battalion ask for the first battle. We are experienced and able to complete the task with minimal losses. ”
"Officer Dowler, I don't think so. The hundreds of cannon fodder sent by our City Lord's Mansion are always criminals in the City Lord's Mansion, and this time it finally came in handy. I have my own way to make them die generously, and it can be regarded as the support of our City Lord's Mansion for this battle. ”
Everyone was overjoyed when they said this, and even Dowler was a little embarrassed. After all, it can reduce the casualties of his subordinates, which is very helpful for subsequent wars.
A sense of foreboding floated in Yalina's heart, and she said dryly, "How many cannon fodder are there?" ”
"I didn't expect General Arlina to be interested in this, hehe!" Teuton's eyes flashed with a vicious glint, "Five hundred and two warriors, they will break into the beast tide in a single plane and light a hidden 'lighthouse' for us. Open the way for the entire Tianyi City, and their death is also a kind of glory, what do you say, General Arlena? ”
Arlina kept silent, but her face was pale, evidently enduring a great deal of anger.
