Chapter 113: Bargaining
Xia Jian thinks he's not a good person! It's not even a saint or anything!
There is only one criterion for his conduct......
That is, on the premise of not harming one's own interests and not endangering one's own life!
Otherwise......
Even if the king of heaven is here, it will be for nothing!!
To a certain extent, if it is placed in a peaceful era, people like Xia Jian are actually quite dangerous!
When it's good......
He looks like a normal person, just like a brother next door, not arrogant, not arrogant, not showy, in short, not inconspicuous!
In your long life, there will be a memory that belongs to him! But it won't be the unforgettable kind!
But once he really broke out......
He can do anything! Homicide! Set! There is no burden on him to do these things!
As long as he thinks it's worth doing!
He'll go back and do it!
Rules and morals, these things, the root can't restrain him!
But on the other hand......
Maybe it's because I know that I can't be a good person!
So when he meets that kind of person with more noble character, Xia Jian will admire them from the bottom of his heart!
This was the case with Kotake before!
The same is true of Hu Minghai now!
So......
Participating in this kind of meeting in front of him has become a torment for Xia Jian!
If Hu Minghu had the slightest bit of selfishness, Xia Jian would refuse him without hesitation! But the old man doesn't even have the slightest selfishness!
Done. Just for the sake of the last survivors!
In desperation......
Xia Jian simply became the shopkeeper......
Aren't you going to talk? I'll find someone to talk to you! Others may not be able to, but Liu Li, a girl, is definitely a cynical master!
As long as you, Hu Minghai, can settle her! Then let's just promise you, old man, what's the matter!
But is that possible?
When pigs fly!!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Streamline the conversation between the two parties......
"As long as you want to join the military. To serve the country, we can apply to the top of the court and make an exception to promote your boss to lieutenant colonel, or even colonel......"
"We don't need that kind of false name, and the boss doesn't need ......"
"Brigadier General! Will the brigadier do? β
"If the FΓΌhrer is concerned, I can consider thinking about persuading our boss......"
"You ......"
The first round of talks was over. The woman with her hair did not hide her ambitions, and the old man was furious and slapped the ground. Pull out your pistol and you're going to kill this great traitor!
But he was helplessly hugged by his subordinates and pressed to the ground......
After an hour's break, the meeting resumes again......
"You are a tyrannical ......," the old man was still angry.
"What we want is an authoritarian ......" the woman was unmoved
"You are dictatorial ......," the old man had a bruise on his forehead.
"Hmmm! That's a good idea! I'll do what the boss suggested......" The woman nodded approvingly.
The old man was angry and clenched his fists. Intense wheezing for a long time. Finally, he weakened and said, "I hope you can give us the control of the underground fortifications......"
"Impossible......"
The woman categorically refused!
The old man threatened: "Without us, you iron lumps can only be parked in the warehouse rusty and moldy, if you don't agree, we will leave here......"
"Hey......
The woman sneered suspiciously: "Do you think you can still go?" β
The old man was furious: "What do you mean! β
The woman's eyes narrowed slightly, her face was as hideous as a ghost, and she was full of murderous intent: "That's what I meant!" Try it if you don't believe me!! β
The old man drew his gun again......
Once again, he was swarmed by many of his colleagues. Pressed to the ground......
At this point, the meeting could not be carried out!
The crowd dispersed for a moment......
Wait until a few hours. The two sides got back together.
This time......
At this time, when the old man looked at the woman opposite, it was as if he had seen an enemy of life and death......
"What do you want?"
This time, the old man changed his strategy......
"How's it going?"
The woman thought for a while, and then said, "Merge into us, completely!" Thorough! of the merger into us! β
In fact, this is also what Xia Jian meant......
These nearly 10,000 soldiers, the Air Force, the Army, and the Navy, except for the Navy, which is a little more, have nearly 2,000 people in the Army and the Air Force!
With their joining, the fighter jets and helicopter gunships docked in the warehouse are no longer decorations, and the destroyer USS Mastins and the USS George Washington can no longer just act as two floating objects on the water!
If there are millions of people!
Xia Jian naturally wouldn't express his ambitions so nakedly!
But now!
Hu Minghai and others don't have much choice at all! Only the threat of death!
But the old man can ignore his own life and death! What about the others? Among those tens of thousands of soldiers, how many of them can really live and die?
The old man decisively refused, and repeatedly emphasized: "Impossible! No way!! When pigs fly!!! β
"Actually, it's also for your own good......"
In order to achieve the goal, women can be described as coercion and temptation......
"What a ......"
"Think about it......"
"Shut up ......"
For women, the old man has a kind of instinctive resistance......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Hoo ......"
I don't know how long it took to do it, but the spiritual power finally reached the full value, Xia Jian opened his eyes and ended this meditation!
"You continue to ......"
Without waiting for everyone to speak, Xia Jian stood up: "I'll go outside and take a look......"
Let's talk about it......
didn't wait for everyone to react, and kept it. Xia Jian walked out of the warehouse without looking back!
Before heading out......
I don't know what I thought, so I shook my head helplessly......
There is such a stubborn old man here, and he can't bear to use coercive means. This negotiation is destined to be a long and difficult battle!
Let them go slowly!
"Boss ......"
"You're out......"
Seeing Xia Jian come out, the storm and the wild bull who had been waiting at the door greeted them as soon as possible!
"Hmmm......"
Xia Jian raised his eyelids, glanced at the two people at the door, and nodded with a smile.
At this time, the height of Manniu and Storm is already close to two and a half meters, and there is a tendency to go straight to three meters! A sturdy body. The bronzed muscles are like rocks, full of strength!
Just standing there and not moving. It gives people a strong visual impact!
It's like two angry King Kongs!
I really don't know what these two people will evolve into in the future!?
"It's not going to really be like King Kong, is it?"
Xia Jian thought about it with a lot of bad taste, and couldn't help but think of a picture of a black gorilla climbing to the roof of the building to jerk off!
"Hey ......"
Shaking his head and kicking the strange picture out of his head, Xia Jian said casually: "Come with me and go for a walk!" β
"Yes!!"
The two of them are one on the left and one on the right. Quickly stood behind Xia Jian!
Maybe it's nature!
I really want to talk about it. The brute bulls and storms with absolute strength, their intelligence, in the entire base, are ranked in the middle and top! But in daily life, they just like to solve problems with their fists!
Over time, it gives people a feeling of honesty!
But I don't know what to say, in fact, if they are cunning, they are compared to Cui Kai, Monkey and others. It's all over the place!
Considering that the two of them want to sell each other, and their heads are not stupid!
Think about it......
Xia Jian simply let the two of them be his bodyguards! It also saves you from what happens in the future. It's going to be a hassle to do it yourself!
Boss!
Enjoy what you deserve! If you have to do everything yourself and take care of it yourself, then you should not be called the boss, but a servant of the people!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Compared to a week ago......
At this time, the naval base has long since lost its dilapidated appearance!
As far as the eye can see......
All the ruins and dilapidated houses that have collapsed, been scrapped, and can no longer be used have been demolished and leveled!
The great man's words that people have a lot of power are really true!
Of course......
It would obviously not be possible to achieve this level in such a short period of time if it were human alone! More than half of the credit has to be attributed to the large construction machines that are constantly roaring not far away......
Where did these machines come from?
As a refuge facility, the warehouse of the underground fortification not only has all kinds of weapons and equipment, daily necessities, and various engineering equipment, but also has a large number of reserves!
And that's not all......
It is said that on the lowest floors, there seems to be a reserve of the latest various highly classified precision machine tools!
Walked a few hundred meters further......
What comes into view is a busy construction site......
Piles of red, gray, different sizes, not very uniform shapes of bricks, piles in the east, piles in the west on the construction site!
With everyone's concerted efforts, the research on kilns and concrete has finally achieved a little results!
And to a certain extent, mass production has been achieved!
It's just that the quality of these things that have just been researched is not very good!
But it is obviously still possible to build some ordinary houses and temporarily block the wind and rain......
It's not ......
In an open field not far from the camp, five or six buildings are rising from the ground on the construction site that has just been leveled!
At this time, the progress is a little faster, and the four walls are almost three meters high!
"Ahem......"
There was a rapid coughing sound at the construction site, and I saw an old man in his fifties and sixties, who was holding his feet, coughing up a mouthful of thick phlegm from his throat and spitting it heavily on the ground!
It's Mao Shaoqiu!
"Ahh
Finding that the two tall figures stood out from the crowd, the old man immediately knew that it was Xia Jian who came! They came up from afar......
"How's it going?"
"Three days, three days at most. The first houses will be built, and then everyone will not have to be crammed into tents......"
Today, the total population has exceeded 18,000!
As far as the capacity of the Dingyuan is concerned, it can't accommodate so many people!
After some internal deliberations......
At the suggestion of Liu Li and others. Xia Jian decided not to open the Dingyuan to the newly joined survivors for the time being! Instead, the room that is still empty on the Dingyuan will be reserved for those who will contribute in the future!
So......
In these three days, more than 16,000 people, including Hu Minghai, who had recently joined, had to huddle into tents to survive the cold night!
Fortunately, although it is simple!
But don't worry that someone will freeze to death at night!!
"Hmm!!"
Xia Jian smiled and patted Mao Shaoqiu's shoulder, "Good job!" When the time comes, you can tell everyone about it, and you will say what I said. After the completion of the work, the fastest group will be rewarded with a quilt ......"
"Okay......"
Mao Shaoqiu responded happily: "I'll tell them later." They're going to die of joy! β
It's like a quilt, it's a great blessing!
Wrong!
It should be said that this is a great blessing!
The naval base is not near the city, but in the depths of the mountains far from the outskirts of the city!
Over here......
Quilts and clothes can be seen everywhere in the ruins of the city. The sophistication of daily necessities. Even more than food to a certain extent!
After all, near the camp, there are fish to catch in the sea and grass roots to dig in the jungle! As long as you are diligent, you will never starve to death!
And things like quilts, clothes and daily necessities, if Xia Jian doesn't speak, everyone can say that there is no source!
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Suddenly......
"Boom ......"
There was a sudden earth-shattering bang in the distance!
Following the sound, a huge cloud of smoke slowly rose on a hillside in the distance. A large amount of smoke and dust spread quickly to the surrounding area with the wind......
Take a stake and feel it carefully. You can even feel the ground vibrating slightly!
But strangely......
When they heard this explosion, whether it was Xia Jian or Mao Shaoqiu, they were all indifferent!
It's as if I'm not worried at all!
Naturally not worried......
This is blowing up the mountains and opening the rocks!
The concrete technique is not mature enough for the time being! And limited by the conditions, there are still certain problems in large-scale mass production!
As a result, the progress of the construction of the base has not been improved......
Three days ago, when a new group of survivors joined, the idea of simply using natural stone was proposed!
This will not only speed up the construction progress!
In addition, the walls made of these natural stones are more safe and secure than those made of concrete!
Advice for this kind of good ......
Xia Jian is naturally as good as a stream!!
"Let's go! Go over and see how the walls are progressing......"
Under the influence of this explosion, Xia Jianma had the idea of going to the city wall to see the progress!
The three of them then said goodbye to Mao Shaoqiu......
Compared with the previous few days, the planning of the base city wall has changed again!
After all, at the beginning, there were nearly four million survivors at the No. 015 military base!
Xia Jian thought about bringing those four million people over, and the base naturally had to be built according to the scale that could accommodate four million people!
Pity......
Heaven does not obey people's wishes! Four million people have now shrunk to less than 20,000!
Moreover, the hundreds of thousands of survivors who remained in Base 015, after knowing the tragedy, may have been frightened, and after sending someone to communicate a few times, they actually ate the scales and refused to move to the naval port after being killed!
To avoid waste of resources!
Xia Jian made a decision on the spot, and the scale of the new base immediately shrank to only one-tenth of the original size!
Forty thousand!!
The size of the new base is about 40,000 people!
After walking for about five minutes, Xia Jian led the two King Kongs to the edge of the camp......
Although it is the same construction site......
But the small construction site that Mao Shaoqiu is in charge of is not at the same level at all compared to here!
Mao Shaoqiu is full of calculations, and there are less than a thousand people!
But here, there are more than 10,000 people who can be seen in the field of vision!
Crane! Mixer! Crane! Forklift! Large trucks used to transport stones......
All kinds of large construction machinery, as well as the dense busy figures, are covered with a five-kilometer-long arc area!
And at the end of the construction site......
A majestic city wall 500 meters long, 8 meters wide, and 20 meters high has initially revealed its childish shape!
According to the plan......
The total length of the entire city wall is estimated to reach about ten kilometers!
And that's with the sea on one side......
The total amount of work is not much worse than the outer wall of the original No. 015 military base!
Of course......
Its quality is also comparable to the outer wall of the No. 015 military base! Even the inner wall of the 015 military base is much inferior to this wall!
At least at this stage......
Whether it's a blood clan, a demon clan, or a mutated creature, there is no existence that can easily destroy this city wall!
Not even the Black Corpse King!
Unless it's a strength that has reached the king level!
Also, those with earth-based abilities should also be excluded, and in the face of those perverts, no matter how strong your walls are, they will be in vain!
"Boss! You're here......"
Cui Kai who came up this time!!
In the distance, Shi Hu, monkeys, barbarians, Luda and others all nodded in this direction!
Except for ...... who have other tasks.
Most of the elites in the entire base are basically concentrated here!
This also shows from the side that everyone attaches great importance to this city wall......
"How's it going?"
This is already a routine question during Xia Jian's inspection......
"Otherwise, it's just that the output of concrete can't keep up with ......"
"Concrete?"
Xia Jian frowned......
The yield of concrete is indeed a problem!
I wondered if I could let Xie Cong and Xu Leini find a way......
Originally......
Taking into account the underground fortifications, sooner or later they will have to be put into service!
Idle is idle anyway......
Xia Jian simply asked Xu Reni and Xie Cong to bring a pair of people and horses to slowly complete the work of eliminating the dangers in the underground fortifications layer by layer!
But the underground fortifications are just too big......
It's been three days, and they haven't even finished the top layer!
Still with Chen Yan and Chen Xi, two sisters!!
It's outrageously slow!
However, although the progress of the investigation is slow!
But Xia Jian knew that in the bottom few layers, there was still a large amount of special cement left over from the construction of the underground fortifications!
It's just that those layers are really dangerous!
For the time being, Xia Jian didn't want to touch those places yet!
