228. We are here to eat
The New Alliance forces advanced steadily, suppressing the riots along the road, and the patrol cars shouted with loudspeakers, ordering everyone to follow order and not to take the opportunity to burn and loot, otherwise they would be killed on the spot. At such a time, there is no room for mercy, and there is no time to do anything else, even if you want to educate and reform, you have to wait until order is restored.
It took three days for the new coalition army to advance from the northwest of the city, spreading like a stream, until it took control of all the neighborhoods, took over the city, established various temporary administrative bodies and departments, put the cadres in place, and basically restored order, which took a total of three days.
It's not that the city has been transformed in three days, but the new alliance has just completed the takeover, restored the most basic order, and the law and order situation has improved considerably, laying the foundation for the rest of the work.
The garrison town of Frontier, the town of the airport, and the other two towns were not in trouble, and the town of Sanhu was also peaceful, but the other six suburban towns were more or less rioting, and many shops and the homes of gang leaders were looted. However, the riots were quickly quelled, and the police station and neighborhood committee were directly put into place, and the cadres were put in place, and military control was temporarily implemented.
It took about ten days from the vanguard of the New Alliance Army to take control of the entire city of Banda. In total, the new coalition killed more than four hundred people, and more than a thousand more, excluding the surrendered prisoners of war who guarded the front.
At the same time that the new coalition took over the main city, there were also a number of riots in many towns on the outskirts. When the local people heard that the gang leaders who controlled the area had been suppressed, or that the gang members had heard that the bosses could not return, some began to pack up and smash the safe to run away, while others took the opportunity to let themselves go......
This is also an unavoidable event, and it is impossible for the new alliance to spread its forces too far and wait until the main city is basically controlled, and then divide its forces to clean up the towns on the outskirts.
Many people's first reaction is, what does it matter to me?
According to the experience of history, no matter who controls the city of Banda, isn't life still the same? But the New Alliance is indeed a bit different from the Guardian Front, and it is said that they took down all the gang leaders in one fell swoop in Airport Town, and then drove the large force into the main city.
There are eighteen districts in Banda City, seven districts in the main urban area, and eleven suburban towns, and only one place is very special, and the new alliance did not send people to take over it, which is the town of Three Lakes. When occupying Banda City, Hua Zhenxing sent someone to send something to the Three Lakes Restaurant, and asked Xiao Guang to hand it over by name.
The Sanhu Restaurant in Sanhu Town, the business here seems to have not been affected, and it is actually more lively than usual. Many people in the town have heard of the recent events in which another armed force has risen, called the New Alliance, which has replaced and co-opted the Guard Front.
Many tourists who have been vacationing in Three Lakes Town also plan to stay here for two more days, so they have to wait until the situation calms down. A lot of people still think – what's my business?
Compared with the local aboriginal people, most of the guests who can come to Sanhu Town to consume are either rich or expensive. They own properties and businesses in Banda City, and are inextricably linked to the gangs, often paying protection money to major gangs, and sometimes hiring gangs to do things.
It seems that the New Alliance is not willing to share the city with these local gang forces, but wants to completely control and loot the city, after all, they are from Port Feso, and have not cooperated with the local gangs in the past.
Riots erupted in the main city and surrounding towns, and the New Alliance's forces were rapidly suppressing them, with only the town of Three Lakes remaining calm.
There are also many overseas tourists in the town of Three Lakes, because of the riots in Banda City, so many travel groups have come to the town of Three Lakes to settle down temporarily. As a rule of thumb, no matter what kind of conflict there is, it is basically none of the business of these overseas tourists, as long as they avoid the time and place where the riots are taking place.
The hotels, B&Bs, and holiday villas in Sanhu Town are almost full, and the business of the restaurant is of course very good. In a corner of the hall on the first floor, three old men occupied a table, Yang Tehong took the recipe and ordered a table of dishes, looking at the portion, it was enough for ten people to eat.
Now that the major gangs have been eradicated, as long as the purpose of the new alliance is to take control of the city, the rest will be easy to handle. Who to work with is not cooperation? It may still be a good thing to deal only with the forces of the new alliance, but it will be up to the new alliance to restore order for now.
Many people stayed in Sanhu Town to watch the situation, and some people did not dare to go back, they were deeply involved in some gangs, and they had almost become a community of interests, and now they are thinking about how to get rid of the traces of the past and re-establish relations with the new alliance.
Waiter: "There are a lot of guests today, and the kitchen is busy, so I have to trouble you to wait a little longer." ”
Old man Yang: "I ordered several cold dishes just now, which should have been prepared in advance, and served with wine first." ”
The waiter originally wanted to persuade them to change to a smaller table and not have to occupy this round table with eight seats, but after seeing the dishes ordered by Old Man Yang, he dispelled his thoughts, and asked instead, "Do you still have companions to come?" ”
Old man Yang took out two bottles of wine out of nowhere, waved his hand and said, "There is no one else, just the three of us, hurry up and serve the food." ”
Ke Mengchao smiled bitterly: "This is the truth. ”
The food here is not cheap, but Ke Mengchao can afford it. He is a director of Huanxiang Industrial, and he receives the highest salary, and he does not spend much on weekdays.
Mo Shang has always been more generous than the previous year, and after the waiter left, he whispered: "Today is Xiao Ke's treat, why do you order so many dishes?" ”
Old man Yang: "It's not that you can't eat it!" Besides, I also brought wine, and the ten tables here can't compare to my two bottles of wine! ”
In a suitcase on the third floor, the hot dishes on the table were not served, and a few plates of cold saucers were appetizing first, and Hua Zhenxing was talking to Xia Er behind closed doors, and at the same time, he also laid out a sound enchantment.
The so-called sound enchantment sounds like a very mysterious name, but in fact, it is not so high-end, that is, it covers a range with divine consciousness and makes sound waves unable to transmit, which is slightly more clever than speaking to a certain person alone with divine consciousness, because people in this range can talk freely.
Ke Mengchao said that he wanted to come to Sanhu Town to have a look, but Old Man Yang said that he was not interested. Ke Mengchao said that he was entertaining at the Sanhu Restaurant, and Old Man Yang said that it was okay, and by the way, he brought two bottles of wine, and Mo Shangtong also came with him.
Old man Yang's words were not bad, the two bottles of wine he took were at least ten times more expensive than the table he ordered just now.
When Charles heard about it, he wanted to come along. If he hadn't known that the three old men would come to dinner today, Hua Zhenxing would never have dared to let Xia Er come, and even he himself would not have asked each other to meet in this way.
After all, this is the territory of the three brothers, and the three Dongguo monks have been operating in Sanhu Town for twenty years, and if the talks collapse and there is a conflict, Hua Zhenxing himself is not sure that he will be able to get out of the way.
For a monk of the Four Realms, the sound enchantment is spread throughout the private room, usually only for a short time when necessary, Hua Zhenxing does not seem to have this awareness, and after closing the door, he has been holding the sound in the room. This method is not omnipotent, at least he knows in his heart that he will definitely not be able to hide from the three old men on the first floor.
Hua Zhenxing came to negotiate with Xiao Guang and the other three brothers today, the information has been given to the other party, and the policies and purposes of the new alliance have been introduced in detail, depending on the attitude of the three brothers.
The three old men had already said that they would no longer interfere in the affairs of the new alliance, and let Hua Zhenxing and Charles make their own decisions in everything. But the three old people can always go to the restaurant to eat, anyway, they will come to this restaurant today, unless Hua Zhenxing is a fool, there is no reason not to take advantage of this opportunity.
Why did the charr come? Because he is very curious, there are people in this world who have the same magical power as Hua Zhenxing, and Hua Zhenxing is very jealous.
So Hua Zhenxing must not let Charles get into danger, after handing over the paper crane given by Old Man Yang to Xia Er last time, Hua Zhenxing has never asked the paper crane back, and he also knows that that thing can save Xia Er's life at a critical moment.
But the three old people are sitting on the first floor, what else does Hua Zhenxing not dare? Come on, come on, Charles will come together if he wants, he doesn't plan to do it anyway, the purpose of today is just to meet and communicate, and some things are more convenient for Charles to be present.
Hua Zhenxing also knows very well that not everyone can practice the Yuan Cultivation Technique, and besides, Xia Er has been in contact with the Yuan Cultivation Technique for less than half a year, and he doesn't have much time to practice on weekdays, so it is normal to not get started, so there is no need to be disappointed.
In fact, Hua Zhenxing is also sure that Xia Er will master the art of raising the yuan, after all, he taught it personally, and if he can't do it, he will take the elixir to the top, control possible deviations at critical moments, and personally protect the Fa for him.
Charles is also very interested in Hua Zhenxing's skills, and hopes that he can also learn it, which is human nature.
Hua Zhenxing also taught Xia Er the Yuan Cultivation Technique, but unfortunately although Xia Er is very smart, the progress of cultivating the Yuan Cultivation Technique is really not very good, and he has not passed the first-level assessment so far, maybe because he is too busy.
In Charr's cognition, all kinds of chaotic and strange gods are simply a hodgepodge, there are wizards in all indigenous tribes or have witches, and there are legends of various gods and ghosts in the country of several miles.
After seeing all kinds of supernatural spells, Charles once firmly believed that it was a superpower, caused by taking the wrong medicine or being infected by something, or some kind of special inheritance, which was typically influenced by Hollywood movies.
But in that case, it will be difficult for Charles to break through the third-level level, and whether he can get the fourth-level certificate depends more on creation, and after all, he has to rely on Charles himself to cultivate.
Charles had heard of the power of the spear god since he was a child, and now he had seen Locke's methods, so there was nothing unacceptable about all kinds of incredible things. However, Hua Zhenxing wanted to explain to him what was going on with the monk, but it was not easy.
If Xia Er had achieved success in cultivating the Yuan Cultivation Technique, it might be easy to understand, but he himself hadn't achieved results, so he still didn't understand it very well.
So Charles's doubts have become why you can practice and I can't, whether you are hiding a hand; Is this a genetic mutation and I'm still normal...... And so on and so forth.
Hua Zhenxing had taken great pains to explain to him that he was not a descendant of aliens, nor had he awakened any special bloodline, let alone taken the wrong medicine, been polluted, or participated in some uncontrollable scientific experiment, which was a very normal cultivation result.
The three brothers in Sanhu Town are also monks like him, but their realm may be higher.
Hua Zhenxing had to change his approach and start with the origin of human civilization. The earliest human beings were the ancient erect naked apes, which evolved from generation to generation, accompanied by the accumulation and inheritance of a little bit of knowledge and skills, and finally had modern civilization. The various means mastered by modern man are inconceivable magical powers for primitive man.
This is the progress of intergenerational inheritance, but for individuals, there is also a self-breakthrough in the physical and mental realm, which is equivalent to an evolutionary process for a person. It is also based on the inheritance system, but it is done on an individual basis.
Hua Zhenxing thought that he had told it very cleverly, but Charles still didn't understand, so forget it, if it were another person, Hua Zhenxing wouldn't bother to bother with this kind of tongue. And Hua Zhenxing knows that in fact, he can't say it clearly, some things can only be understood through experience, and it is impossible to understand it by listening to other people's explanations.
At this time, Xiao Guang and the other three brothers had not yet arrived, and Hua Zhenxing said with a serious expression: "The most important condition for the success of the new alliance in Feisuo Port is to have straw uppers. Uncle Mo's straw sandals have been established for more than ten years, which is equivalent to cultivating tens of thousands of backbones.
But without this foundation, it will be difficult for many things, at least to replicate the model of the Afroport port. There are almost no cultural traditions here, and many people's values are distorted......"
