Chapter Ninety-Three: Difficulties
The sky was hazy, and the first sun was shining in the open field. The morning glow was like a brilliant day, and on the field, an inconspicuous military vehicle drove towards the boxy Sunset City. The cold wind whined, the dead grass swayed, the tires brushed the yellow mud on the ground, and the dust flew up. The morning mist was illuminated by the sun, and it was a cloud of white wrapped in green shirts.
Sunset City is still calm, and the commotion caused by the Moore family raid is completely gone. Even if this incident didn't happen at all, there were far fewer zombies wandering not far outside the city.
The entire Sunset City is full of conscription notices, and more than a dozen conscription points have been set up in various parts of the city, and anyone who enlists in the army will receive a lot of imperial coins. In this way, Ji Guosheng intends to recruit as many fighters as possible. Of course, such a soldier needs a lot of time to train, and then after countless exercises before he can go to the battlefield.
As soon as Ah Le returned to the City Lord's Mansion, Ji Guosheng followed. His expression was full of sorrow, and his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan character. Seeing this, Ah Le hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Ji has something important to look for me?"
Ji Guosheng said with a sad face: "Last night, I studied the border map of Sunset City and checked the existing weapon configuration of Sunset City, and I found a very fatal problem. With Sunset City's active equipment, it is simply impossible to resist a large-scale war. It is even very likely that it will not be able to stop a large number of zombie organizations from attacking effectively. If the border city fights again, maybe it won't take a few days for Sunset City to really become Sunset City. ”
Hearing Ji Guosheng's words, Ah Le realized how serious this was, and was silent for a long time before saying, "What do we need now?"
Ji Guosheng looked at the young colonel and replied seriously: "Money!!!
Ah Le took a deep breath, whether it is a decisive emperor, a super family that has been inherited for thousands of years, or an unknown general in a border city, they will all face the same problem, the army needs money and equipment. Ah Le thought for a long time and said, "I'll find a way to get money, what should I do with the equipment?" Senior Brother Ji came out of the military department, do you see the problem with this equipment?"
Ji Guosheng patted Ah Le's shoulder and said with a smile: "Little junior brother doesn't have to worry as long as he has money and equipment, as long as he has money, we can get equipment through channels, and if the price starts, silver and titanium can also be bought." ”
Ah Le nodded silently, turned to the guard next to him and said, "You go and call Corporal Chen Dalei and ask him to bring the military merit watch exchange watch over." ”
"Yes, sir. Hearing Ah Le's order, the guards quickly left the City Lord's Mansion.
A simple family banquet was set up in the hall of the city mansion, and Ah Le picked up the wine glass and took a shallow sip. The wine is extraordinarily spicy, and several flavors are mixed together, creating an indescribable feeling. But after staying on the tip of the tongue for a while, it begins to glow with a strange sweetness in the mouth.
Ji Guosheng raised his glass slightly and shook it slightly, watching the clear and pure wine hang a ripple on the wall of the glass. "What do you think of the wine that the little junior brother often drinks in the army?"
Ah Le praised: "This wine is good, this is a military camp." ”
Ah Le's interesting words made Ji Guosheng's nervous heart gradually relax. I began to admire this little junior brother a little in my heart, and after a short period of contact, Ji Guosheng learned a lot from him. A young man who has just turned eighteen years old, with the safety of a city on his shoulders. With all kinds of serious problems in front of him, he can calm down and think slowly, and he is worthy of being a young man who is favored by the principal.
Just as Ah Le was thinking, Chen Dalei's worn-out military boots creaked on the smooth marble slabs. Holding a generous book in his arms, he sat down consciously and asked in a low voice, "Ah Le, why do you want this?"
An Le didn't answer Chen Dalei's question, just took the military merit exchange form, flipped a few pages at random, made a smack sound, and said with emotion: "No wonder the entire empire regards military merit so important, military merit is really a good thing!"
Chen Dalei frowned slightly, although what Ah Le said was normal, he always felt that there was something wrong with these words, and after thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't think of what was wrong, so he asked in a low voice: "Ah Le, you inexplicably asked me for a military merit exchange form, at least tell me what you think in your heart?"
Ah Le closed the military merit exchange table in his hand, grabbed a glass of wine on the table, swallowed it gently, and muttered, "I plan to start hunting zombies out of the city during this time." ”
Chen Dalei smiled slightly, and then understood Ah Le's true purpose, and immediately shook his head and said: "I don't agree, you are the lord of a city, you can't take this risk." I think I'd better leave the hunting of zombies to me!"
Ah Le laughed, and said casually: "I won't touch the zombies that are too troublesome, speaking of which, in addition to hunting zombies, I also have to find a chance for me to advance to the third-grade intermediate level." Besides, with my ability, it is not always difficult to get out of danger. ”
Chen Dalei looked up at Ah Le, he understood that once the young colonel made up his mind, it would be difficult to change it, so he no longer comforted, but said seriously: "I want you to think about the future of Sunset City before you act." ”
Ah Lewan smiled and said, "I understand this matter without you saying it, so don't worry too much." ”
Turning his head to look at Ji Guosheng, who had been sitting on the side, he had been silent, and said, "During the time I went out, all the big and small affairs of Sunset City were entrusted to you, Senior Brother. ”
Ji Guosheng nodded and said: "Sunset City is a trivial matter, the key is to pay attention to your own safety, I don't want the angry old principal to jump me with a shot." ”
Ah Le smiled, "I also want Dawn to be famous on the continent again." If this artifact falls into my hands, then I will become the greatest sinner of the ages. ”
The other two people at the table understood what Ah Le meant, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said seriously: "Just treat this as a celebration wine in advance." ”
Chen Dalei scolded with a smile: "If this becomes a sacrificial wine, I will dig up your Ale Zu's grave." ”
Ah Le got up and stood up, and said respectfully: "With your support, the future of the little brother is bright!"
The three of them looked at each other and laughed.
After the two of them left, Ah Le sat quietly in the living room. Ah Le gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the mellow and sweet wine continued to flow on the wine glass. It wasn't until many years later that he was surprised to find that the past of Sunset City had become a very interesting part of his life.
Memory is a strange thing, sometimes it throws away all the suffering, leaving only warmth, and sometimes it wears away the happiness that once existed, leaving only the pale and ugly.
Ah Le returned to his room, on a large bed as lavishly decorated as the City Lord's Mansion. Soon he fell asleep, and he needed to recuperate and then go out of town again!
