Chapter 363: Symbolic Negotiations

Six hours later, Shen Chao took a small part of the army to the underground security area to meet as agreed. It was already night, and dozens of hammerhead chariots were driving in a standard urban combat formation through the dark streets of the imperial capital.

For visibility, they drove down the road with the headlights of their chariots, and the light from these headlamps literally illuminated an entire block. From the sky, it looks as if the street has regained its pre-crisis prosperity.

It didn't take long for the convoy to reach its destination, a subway entrance illuminated by several searchlights. It was an important above-ground entrance to Metro Line 4 before the crisis. to an important civil air defense engineering node.

At this time, this underground entrance is guarded by nearly a hundred ground survivors who belong to the security zone. There were also several opposing Type 92 wheeled infantry vehicles blocking the entrance, and there were several machine-gun emplacements on nearby buildings......

But even so, their combat effectiveness is impossible to compare with the team brought over by Shen Chao. The generational difference in technology and training makes the comparison of their actual military strength similar to that between an elephant and a baby, and there is no suspense at all when it comes to fighting. Of course, they're not here to fight, at least not yet.

After arriving at a nearby intersection, dozens of hammerhead chariots immediately divided into several teams and stopped at several intersections, surrounding the above-ground part of this subway entrance.

At the same time, they released a whole battalion of infantry carried inside. More than 200 heavily armed 1st Marine Regiment soldiers rushed out of their respective tanks at this moment and quickly organized themselves to confront the opposing defensive line.

It wasn't until both of them had finished the confrontation and successfully started to be in a daze with each other that Shen Chao walked out of the chariot he was in unhurriedly.

When he got out of the car, he looked relaxed, and even had time to tidy up the black dress on his body a little, and he didn't hurry to put on an extremely stylish black military hat for himself.

At this time, the military uniform he was wearing was not the navy blue dress of the Star Alliance, but a new officer dress that was very different in style and color from the Star Alliance Navy standard dress.

The overall design and workmanship of this military dress are very futuristic, using comfortable polymer materials and a number of advanced craftsmanship zuò. It can even be used as body armor in the face of ordinary chemical energy light weapons.

The proportions of the whole garment are just right, the lines are very simple, and the collar is single-buttoned, rather than the half-open design of Starlink. And there is no clear pocket on the whole dress.

The chest and epaulettes largely retain the design of traditional naval uniforms for ease of grading. The grading standards of horizontal bars and pentagram stars are basically followed.

But they also adjust the proportions and styles accordingly. For example, the horizontal bar or five-pointed star on the epaulette part has been changed from gold to silver. It will look more conspicuous and pleasing to the eye.

Shen Chao's situation is slightly different, he is the highest military representative in the current organization, so there are no horizontal bars, no shining silver stars. Only in two silver council logos symmetrical on both shoulders.

This means that he has the right to command any military institution under Parliament. Of course, no one at the scene can understand the true meaning of this epaulette.

Since there are hardly any extra lines or folds on the whole dress, at first glance it will involuntarily give the first impression that the wearer is very straight.

Especially someone like Shen Chao who is already handsome. A man with a decent figure, this military uniform is like an amplifier on him, pushing his masculinity index up a level. It's just a special prop for playing handsome, and the sense of strictness that the military uniform should have had is almost offset.

Of course, like most of their supplies and equipment, this military uniform was prepared by them back in the Mass Effect world, but it wasn't just prepared. It is not specially designed for Shen Chao alone.

In fact, there are now millions of military dresses of the same style in their warehouses. It was the team that found a few senior designers in the world of Mass Effect to design the parliamentary army uniform, and after many internal discussions and modifications.

They had planned to take out this dress unhurriedly and issue it to their newly formed army after the council's deposit had been made public in this plane.

But this negotiation looks like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Shen Chao thought that this was a very good opportunity to show the image of their army, so he changed into this military dress to "negotiate".

Of course, he is not here to negotiate, in fact, no matter what the outcome of his "negotiations" is, he will bring all the survivors back to Dubai by the end of the week. The difference is just to take a few more or a few less.

Back to the moment, Shen Chao got off the train and said a few words to a few officers here, and then calmly left the direct protection range of his soldiers and walked to the entrance of the subway alone.

In fact, the person in charge of the underground security zone here allowed him to bring an entourage, but Shen Chao personally thought that it was not necessary, his ability to protect himself in this world was more than enough, and he was a little unable to distinguish important people at this time, so he decided to come alone.

By the way, didn't he go out this time? The whole team of combatants, more than 1,000 people directly under the army, and even half of the soldiers came, how could they not distinguish people? You might think so.

In fact, the reason is very simple, when he came over to negotiate, the men and horses of the brigade had already been sent underground to prepare for the attack.

If the negotiation goes wrong, Shen Chao will inform the others to use force to rescue the survivors underground. And then forcibly take everyone away.

So you see, he's already prepared for both, that's why it's so easy. Of course, the specific plan to adopt will depend on the outcome of the negotiations for a while. In the best-case scenario, they would have been able to resolve the matter peacefully without using force.

Speaking of which, Shen Chao had already arrived at the entrance of the subway passage, where he accepted the preliminary security check of the opposing soldiers without complaint, and entered the subway passage under the "escort" of several opposing soldiers.

As soon as he entered the subway passage, Shen Chao had the illusion of being in a different world, because it was too clean and too familiar. Aside from the fact that it was empty, it was completely indistinguishable from the Imperial Capital Subway that he had visited many times on the Main Plane.

After entering the subway passage, they turned east and west through several employee passages, and then arrived at a red blast door.

This is a typical security door for nuclear bunkers, about 3 meters high and 2 meters wide. The foot is 30 cm thick. It's the periphery of the underground safety zone. Here, the soldier leading the way opens the blast door and leads him into the disinfection area behind the door.

The sanitized area here is probably the most important reason why this underground safe zone has survived for so long. Here, Shen Chao underwent a short shower and clothes disinfection procedure. Then they were led to meet their leaders.

In order to meet Shen Chao, the person in charge here also made a lot of preparations. For example, the survivors in one nearby area were relocated to another in order to prevent anyone except his henchmen from knowing about the existence of Shen Chao and the unknown force he represented.

After being led away for a few more minutes, Shen Chao finally met the person he wanted to see in a conference room. A young man in an army general's uniform and a group of officers around him.

"Welcome, I'm ......" After seeing Shen Chao, the young man stretched out his hand to greet him and welcomed him warmly.

To tell the truth, the young man in front of him is quite good-looking, and he doesn't have any disgusting temperament at first glance. It doesn't look like what other people call it a whore.

But this is not strange, Shen Chao, who knows people and faces but does not know his heart, has seen a lot of well-dressed beasts or something, and before he came, he confirmed the essence of this young man through the latest investigation results.

A few hours ago, Custer had successfully led several people to investigate the underground security zone, and found video evidence of this young man and many young women.

There is no doubt that the other party is a scumbag. The question is just how he needs to treat the other person. Thinking of this, Shen Chao also smiled, shook hands with the other party, and began insincere negotiations......

At the same time, in several underground locations, the soldiers who were divided into more than a dozen teams had already entered the underground security zone in various ways, and silently entered each predetermined location.

"Team 3 is ready, Team 2 is ready......" The soldiers of the first team reported on the command channel after arriving at the position.

: "Stay hidden and positioned, wait for orders." In a dark corner of the security zone, Custer replied, holding his throat. Since Shen Chao was still in symbolic negotiations, he was in charge of the command of this mission.

In addition to the full members of the expedition, two battalions of Marines were in positions in nearby underground tunnels, ready to take over the underground safety zone by force. This is destined to be a negotiation that will not succeed.

"No, it can't be. I'm not going to open the door unconditionally. You may have stronger armed forces, but this is my territory, if ......" At this time in the conference room, the young man who was negotiating with Shen Chao was already angry.

He had adjusted his mood and wanted to have a good talk with the representative of the reconstruction committee, and in his opinion, the negotiations would at least lead to some agreement such as guaranteeing his personal safety.

But the other party actually repeated the conditions in the previous Zhao Anwen after the negotiation began, and said that this was his only choice!

Is there too much deception? I still have thousands of people and tens of thousands of "hostages". Their own people are also familiar with the terrain. Even if the two sides want to fight, they may not be able to get anything cheap in their own hands...... Right? (To be continued.) )
