“…… yes, sure enough, it's still sinking. ”

Vault 404, Dawning City, B4 Browsing Room.

When he heard the news of the sinking of the Haiya, Sun Yuechi was stunned for two seconds, and after a while, a complicated expression appeared on his face.

Chu Guang could see that when he heard the news, his face was both relieved and happy, and hesitant about the result, but it was more of what he said "sure enough".

He seems to have guessed such an outcome from the beginning, and before throwing the mess of Vault 70 to himself.

Chu Guang couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity in his heart.

But before he could ask, Sun Yuechi, who was sitting opposite him, spoke first.

"Is it okay for you to leave from the front?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"I don't really need me there, and they do a good job without me. In contrast, a meeting with representatives of the authorities of the South China Sea Alliance is more important. ”

Although the Iron Heart was always on the front lines, he wasn't there all the time, and occasionally flew back.

For example, when the community has an important agenda to be discussed at the meeting, such as when the internal affairs of the alliance need him to come up with ideas, etc.

Sun Yuechi nodded in understanding, a relieved smile on his face.

"Very good...... I've heard that the Southern Alliance was formed by the residents of Vault 70 and the survivors of the Southern Seas, right? Eventually, they bridged the barrier...... In fact, it's quite stupid, playing the VM as a 'black card', and we all forget that we are compatriots in the first place. The doors of the Vault have been open for a century and a half, and it would be foolish to still call themselves the Vault dwellers. ”

"Sometimes I can't help but think that the Vault should be designed with a self-destruct age that will explode when the time comes...... Maybe it's better for those who survive. ”

"That's too formalistic again, even if there is no shelter, there can be a 'black card'. Wouldn't it be good to turn this place into a museum when it's all over? Chu Guang glanced around and continued in a joking tone, "For example, the Library Theme Museum, I have a lot of books here, some of them are written by the people of the Prosperous Era and some of them are written by the people of the Wasteland Era. ”

Sun Yuechi sincerely admired, "It seems that you have really learned a lot of experience from Boulder City. ”

Chu Guang: "After all, we don't want to go down the same path they have walked again...... Then you fall into a new cycle. ”

"It's good." Sun Yuechi said sincerely, looking at Chu Guang, he couldn't help but nod again.

This is a conversation between two managers.

Chu Guang knew the meaning of "very good", it was the affirmation of the "business" of one Vault to another Vault - the administrator of Vault 70 believed that the method of Vault 404 might really end the Wasteland Era.

He doesn't have any regrets about the transfer of management authority.

Seeing that Sun Yuechi didn't seem to have anything to say, Chu Guang asked the curiosity in his heart.

"I always have a feeling that you have already guessed the outcome of today."

Sun Yuechi said with a wry smile.

"Is this still a guess? I remember saying a long time ago, I was just a lake watchmaker, and in my term I finally couldn't go down the lake. I considered all the possibilities, but in the end it was the same result, my residents thought I was irresponsible, but they didn't really understand anything, I had looked at all the possibilities, and that was pretty much the only way to keep them alive. ”

After a pause, he added.

"You've probably seen the 'inventory' in Vault 70, the ones who blamed me for not opening the door and yelling at me to open it."

Chu Guang nodded.

"I haven't been there, but my residents have taken a look at it for me, and there are a lot of good things to do."

Sun Yuechi continued with a smile.

"Do you think you can change anything with those things? Or can I change anything if I give them those things? ”

Chu Guang thought about it and said pertinently.

"It really can't be changed."

There is a lot of power armor in the inventory, but the rookies in Vault 70 who have never even touched a gun, even if they go out, they are probably hit on the head by the Federation's marines.

Weapons belong to weapons, and it is people who operate weapons after all, and war is a systematic thing.

The inhabitants of Vault 70 survived the civil war and eventually played a pivotal role in the formation of the new Confederate Confederate.

Especially since they were the only ones in the entire civil war who didn't have the blood of their compatriots on their hands.

No matter how many times they cursed the people outside, wishing that they were all dead and starting over, it was just thinking about it in their hearts.

There is a dark side to everyone's heart, and at least they are acting on the right high ground.

After this civil war, all their past mistakes were erased.

Judging from the results, this guy's shock treatment is actually a little useful, at least avoiding the worst and most tragic outcome. To say that he is an irresponsible manager would be biased.

Sun Yuechi was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said.

“…… We went wrong from the beginning, maybe the guy who drove the cargo submarine was right, our ancestors...... It may indeed not be the Vault Privileges obtained through normal means, and the real residents are actually locked out. So all along, we are afraid that people outside will find out the truth, that they will know the whole history, that they will wake up one day in the future, that they will realize that what we give them belongs to them, so the gene of distrust has always been engraved in our bones......"

His Adam's apple moved, and he continued.

"Except for the battleship Haiya to deal with the threat from the Legion, all the other battleships were also built in the name of the Legion, but in fact they were only to add insurance to the rule of Vault 70."

"But the irony is ...... As you can see, these checks and balances are useless. And the only warship that was really built with the legion as an imaginary enemy was used on its own people from beginning to end. ”

"I guessed that the Haiya would eventually sink, but I really didn't expect this civil war to end in such a mild way...... In my vision, the price to pay may be a little greater, and the end result may be a little better than in the past, but not better than now. ”

When he said this, Sun Yuechi looked at Chu Guang and thanked him sincerely.

"It's your credit...... Thank you. ”

"You're welcome, ending the Wasteland Age is our job as managers."

Chu Guang nodded at him, suddenly thought of something, and continued.

"By the way, Li Minghui has come to Dawning City, and plans to meet with me on future cooperation matters. He didn't ask to see you, but would you like to see him? ”

Sun Yuechi was a little moved, but he seemed to remember the unpleasant meeting with someone before, and shook his head with a little more than a season.

"Still not...... I'm retired, and it's useless for him to see me. ”

"Really? I think it's better to see each other, it's your compatriot after all. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't see it, it's your freedom......"

Chu Guang said this with a smile, paused for a moment and then said, "There are a lot of missing parts in the administrator's log of Vault 70, don't you plan to complete it?" ”

Sun Yuechi was a little moved, but it seemed that for the same reason, he finally shook his head.

"Let's talk about it later...... I like my job. ”

Although Chu Guang was a little disappointed, he didn't say anything, just nodded.

Liquidating one's own problems is not an easy task.

He could understand Sun Yuechi's thoughts, he still had feelings for Vault 70, and even more so for the survivors in the southern seas.

It is enough to liquidate the fuse of the civil war - the collapse of the ocean current power station.

The Torch Church is the direct hands-on, while Charles and his henchmen are accomplices, and the dead President Mungo is conniving.

As for what happened in the past one hundred and fifty years, and what happened more than two hundred years ago, the survivors of the southern seas no longer want to pursue it, as the former manager of Vault 70, he naturally has no reason to take the initiative to do this, and Chu Guang has no reason to do it from the standpoint of the alliance and the current manager of Vault 70.

This guy thought about it from the beginning, so he didn't hesitate to give himself the permission to the shelter.

The South Sea Alliance won the civil war, but the biggest winner was Vault 70, which remained out of the way, and the Alliance of the Actual Owners of the Vault.

As for the survivors of the southern seas, they won and lost completely......

……

Dawning City North Street, the lobby of the Highway Town Hotel, is bustling in front of the bar.

Guests sitting here eating breakfast are watching the TV at the bar.

Television is not a rare thing for the survivors of Dawning City, who have long been using controlled fusion power, but their popularity is also recent.

Some traditional media outlets that have developed by relying on newspapers and radio have expanded into new businesses, and the general public has a new option to obtain information in addition to newspapers, as well as watching television news.

Prior to this, most of the local survivors' viewing equipment was converted from VMs to tablets, and the former was mainly produced through black boxes.

Today, VMs no longer need to be manufactured in a black box, and the industrial area of Dawn City has not only achieved mass production, but also iterated on its models several times.

As a result, players have new wrist-borne computers, and the residents of Dawning City have their own new televisions, and in the future, they will have their own computers, mobile phones, smart wearable devices, endpoint clouds, and even human maids.

From this point of view, a certain manager has indeed fulfilled his promise to build a new ideal city in Qingquan City.

It's really getting more and more like that good place.

Although there are still some low-profile ones.

At the moment, today's morning news is playing on the TV.

“…… At 8:15 p.m. yesterday evening, the Burning Corps succeeded in taking the North Island Presidential Palace, and found Charas's body in the bunker beneath the Presidential Palace. ”

"Based on the gunshot wound to the jaw and the location of the weapon, it can be preliminarily determined that the cause of Charas's death was suicide."

"The commander of the Burning Corps refused to give any information about the casualties of this operation, but specifically mentioned that there were no casualties during the attack on the airfield."

"At present, the Burning Corps has handed over Charas's body to the South China Sea Alliance side and kept it in the morgue of the North Island Hospital, leaving it up to the local survivors to decide what to do. At the same time, a number of officials from Charas's henchmen and his puppet cabinet were handed over, and the subsequent trial will take place in the near future. ”

"With the fall of the Charas authorities, the long-standing chaos in the southern seas has finally come to an end, and the investigation into the causes of a series of shipwrecks, including the sinking of the Ocean Current Power Station and the research vessel Gold Coast, will go hand in hand with the reconstruction of the North Island."

"The authorities of the South China Sea Alliance said that the top priority is to restore the order of local production and life."

The TV cuts from the studio to the port of the crater.

Li Minghui, commander of the South China Sea Alliance Navy and interim president, said in a loud voice as he faced a circle of microphones.

"The war is not over, the Alliance supported our war, and now it's our turn to support our allies!"

"The North Island Naval Port, as well as the airfield, will be permanently open to the Alliance, including the shipyards of the North Island!"

"If we don't eradicate the Torch Church completely, trouble will come to us again and again. We will learn the lessons of yesterday and never cooperate with barbarians again in the future, no matter what difficulties we face! ”

The images on the television continued to switch back to the news studio.

"According to an interview with our reporter, the representative of the authorities thanked the alliance for its help at the press conference, and said that the survivors of the southern sea will always remember the alliance's help to the locals in times of crisis, and welcome the survivors of the alliance to come to the southern sea for vacation, work, life and investment."

"For more updates on the situation in the southern seas, our reporter will continue to follow up and report on it!"

After the report on the situation in the southern seas ended, the TV scene quickly switched to the northern line.

Several guests sitting at the bar exchanged glances, and a drunkard who was greedy for a glass early in the morning burped.

"Confederation of the South...... Is it an alliance of Geumcheon Province? ”

"Are you a pig, where did the sea come from in Jinchuan Province?!" A mercenary-looking man scoffed.

The drunkard was not angry, and said confidently.

"What if there is? I haven't been there, and I know ......."

The pedestrian sitting next to him said in a casual tone.

"It's a lot farther away than Geumcheon Province, a little further south, to the equator."

The guests sighed when they heard this.

“…… That's far enough. ”

"I've been traveling for years, and I haven't been that far."

The drunkard took a sip of vodka and muttered.

"Running so far to go to war, I don't know what use it will be for the Alliance......"

"What's the use?" The mercenary-looking man laughed and teased, "If you can ask this question, it means that you have read the news more or less in vain." ”

What's the use?

Directly inheriting the various maritime military and civilian technologies developed by the survivors of the southern seas in two centuries, the alliance that was launched for the first time directly jumped over two hundred years of exploration and became a "sea power".

Even if he was just a mercenary, he could tell how many times their esteemed Mr. Manager had won.

The drunkard was a little confused, and scratched the back of his head with his right hand.

The merchant sitting next to him smiled, didn't say anything, and just ate his breakfast.

He booked a ticket to Port Fries last night, and the flight was due to take off in three hours. While these people were still gagging, he even planned his future career.

Since the beginning of the civil war in the southern seas, he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation of the war, and now he has finally waited for the final end of this war.

At present, the entire southern sea is in ruins, and it is not only the North Island that needs to be rebuilt, but also the Ocean Current Power Station and Coral City, which are all business opportunities that can be seen with the naked eye.

Including the development of the Heavenly Court in the future, the alliance's investment in the southern seas will not be less, and he can make a lot of money by doing anything he can do there.

Pushing away the finished beef noodles, he picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth, suddenly thought of something, looked at the old man standing behind the bar and said.

"Boss, bring me a vodka too."

Old Hook knew this regular customer, remembering that he was a merchant from Jinchuan Province, and had settled in Dawning City since last year.

A small glass was poured for him, and Old Hook said with a smile and teasing.

"Strange, you drank it early in the morning."

"Today is an exception, haha."

Zhou Nan smiled in a good mood, took the wine glass from Old Hook's hand, made a clinking motion in the direction of the TV, and then raised his head and drank it all.

"Cheers to the victory of the League!"

Praise the manager!

Ever since he came to the Alliance, his good fortune hasn't stopped!

……

On Embassy Street, on the roof of a three-story bungalow with a front and rear yard, stands the flag of the Legion.

This is the embassy of the Legion in the Alliance, which was built not so long ago.

Prior to this, the legations of the Legion had been camped on the outskirts of Dawning City.

Originally, it was nothing, but as time went on, the Willant people themselves found trouble.

In particular, as the Sticky Community project progressed, more and more Willantes traveled to the area of Dawning City, and the Legion became more and more involved in the affairs of the Sticky Community, and finally Benott broke the convention and agreed to the Alliance's foreign minister's invitation to open embassies for each other.

At the moment, Benott was sitting on the sofa in the embassy reception room watching the news on television.

When he saw the naval battle between the South China Sea Alliance and the Northern Federation, a disdainful expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Heh, this year...... No matter what broken copper and iron, I dare to touch my army. ”

I saw that in the picture of the TV, a towering battleship slowly sank to the bottom of the sea in a boiling smoke.

According to the news, the battleship, named "Haiya", was built by survivors in the southern seas to deal with threats from the Legion, and the main gun in the bow was removed directly from the starship and used to target the Legion's airship - or the deflection shield at the core of the frigate.

Seeing the news at the end, Benott pouted and turned off the TV.

Although he was dismissive of the "fishermen" on several small islands, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that the battleship's main guns had been removed from the starship.

Thanks to this, the battleship sank.

If this falls into the hands of the Alliance, I'm afraid I'll have to be played by those guys again.

Thinking of the Iron Heart, Bennott breathed a sigh of relief and threw the matter aside without further attention.

After all, the southern sea is still too far away, and the navy of the Legion is mainly in the hands of the Western Legion, and the core of interests of the Western Legion is on another continent, which is too far away from here.

Anyway, as long as this thing doesn't fall into the hands of the Alliance.

At this moment, Bennott didn't know that there were four of the same type of electromagnetic cannon in Vault 70!

With ample supply of steel and electricity, the shipyards in the North Island could build another similar toy in minutes......

……

It's not just the Willant who are watching the situation in the southern seas.

As for the "South China Sea Alliance", which looks like the "vest" of the alliance and is about to join the United States, the major forces in the wasteland have more or less paid attention to the latest developments in the situation in the southern seas through the alliance's media.

This is not just for businesses and colleges, but also for the Free States...... and even the distant Xilan.

Tiandu, on the magnificent palace.

Sitting on a chair, Wu Camel was tasting the fine wine imported from the port of Jingallen, while listening to his eunuchs reciting the latest issue of the "Dawn Garden Newspaper".

There is one thing to say, the alliance is not all sycophants, there are still people who dare to tell the truth, and the news in this newspaper is indeed wonderful enough.

Because the administrator of the alliance fell in love with the queen of the lion kingdom, the king of the lion kingdom dared not speak out, and the attitude of acquiescence and connivance not only made the domestic resentment of the lion kingdom boiling, but also attracted the jealousy of the little princess of the honey badger who was obsessed with the manager, causing the two kingdoms to fight on the border, which was very likely to trigger the second battle of Luoxia.

The back garden of the alliance has been full of wolf smoke, and now the fire has burned to the southern seas, and I heard that a Heavenly Court has been burned, but the media in Dawning City did not say a word about it, only the "Dawning Garden Daily", which dared to tell the truth, stood up and made the truth of this red fruit public, and stripped the bottom pants of the alliance at all.

“…… This alliance has done so much injustice and brought humiliation upon itself, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be over! ”

The witch camel was fascinated by it, with a slight drunken flush on his face.

If it weren't too far away, he would have been eager to give the newspaper some money and make the reporters who dared to tell the truth a little faster.

Maybe he drank too much, his eyes rolled slightly, and he suddenly had a whim.

"The alliance is busy with the Luoxia Province and the front line of the Ten Peaks Mountain, and must not be interested in the southern seas...... Wouldn't it be perfect if this South China Sea Alliance came to be my tributary state in Xilan? ”

He learned the word tributary kingdom in the "Dawning Garden", and heard that the lion kingdom and the honey badger kingdom are all tributary states of the alliance, the hump kingdom is half of it, and the golden lizard and falcon are the academy and legion respectively.

The eunuch reading the newspaper was stunned for a moment, and the Duke of Nehak, who was sitting next to him, was also stunned.

The former mainly didn't follow His Majesty's train of thought and wasn't sure whether he wanted to answer, while the latter didn't read the previous issues of the newspaper sent by the Duke of Galava not long after he came back, and didn't understand what the tributary state meant.

Seeing that no one objected, Wu Camel touched his chin and said.

“…… Didn't the Willant people make some cement in Xifan Harbor? And the steel and stuff, it's almost rusty in our warehouse, so why don't we sell it to them...... That's right, it's priced in Xilan Coins! We've got to do that pricing power, too! ”

According to the Dawning Gardens, the Alliance's rise to prominence was largely due to the fact that its administrators had stuffed silver coins into the pockets of the Wastelanders, exchanging them for something of real value.

Although the newspapers didn't say how the Alliance had stuffed the silver coins into the pockets of the wastelanders, the Witch Camel figured that this was a genius idea, and the Empire had to find a way to do it, so it was better to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big deal about it.

Steel and cement are definitely needed for the survivors of the southern seas to rebuild their homes, and he has a lot of surplus in his hands.

The steel and cement were supposed to be used to build roads, but it didn't take so many resources to rebuild the infrastructure around Tiandu and Xifan Port, and the things that weren't needed were piled up in the warehouse.

To be honest, he didn't really understand what the Willantes were doing with all the effort they had to make so much steel and cement, he wanted rifles and artillery, and soldiers who could fight.

However, helplessly, those big noses really didn't treat him as an outsider, not only forced to buy and sell, but also used the goods they couldn't sell to pay off the debt.

He thought that if he didn't come back anyway, he might as well get a mess according to their wishes.

Maybe when it will come in handy?

He was glad that he had the foresight to agree to the Willant's plan, and that pile of would come in handy now!

Duke Nehac touched his chin, pondering that what His Majesty said seemed to have some truth.

He had been the governor of the port of Golden Gallen, and he knew a little about trading, and the Xilan coins were really not competitive in the face of dinars and silver coins, which caused them to suffer quite a lot when they did business, and the empire's finances lost a lot because of this.

Now that the surge in tariffs at the Port of Gold Gallen has brought a lot of money to the Empire, they can just use this spare money to do something.

"The only problem now is...... The South China Sea Alliance doesn't have Xilan coins, so how can we let them buy our things with Xilan coins? Nehak touched his chin in thought.

Looking at the depressed Nehak, the witch camel took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"It's easy to say, it doesn't matter if they don't, we can lend them a Xilan coin."

He also learned this trick from the "Dawning Garden Newspaper".

At the beginning of the Battle of Luoxia, the alliance provided a silver loan to the Lion Kingdom and the Honey Badger Kingdom, which stimulated the infrastructure construction of the two countries on the one hand, and allowed the alliance's enterprises to make a lot of money from those infrastructure projects.

Further, corporate assistance to alliances takes a similar form.

Although he can't tell the doorway, he still has the ability to draw scoops according to the gourd.

Nehak looked at His Majesty in surprise, and the expression on his face gradually changed to surprise, and he stood up from his chair.

"Your Majesty is wise! As long as we lend them a sum of money, we will not only sell the unsalable cement, but also become their creditors! ”

He has been working in the Golden Gallen Harbor for so many years and has not come up with this trick, but he didn't expect His Majesty to think of it!

Is this newspaper really so amazing?!

Nehaq couldn't help but think in his heart, when he returned, he must ask the Duke of Nagarawa to send him a few copies as well, so that he could study them.

Looking at the shocked Nehak, the witch camel smiled and put down the cup in his hand.

"It's over, sit."

Although his face was silent, he was still very happy to show such a hand in front of his courtiers.

At the same time that the witch camel was complacent about his strategy, a huge battle began "quietly" in the northeastern province of Borneo.

On one side is the local army of Mengli Prefecture, with a total of 50,000 people, claimed to be 100,000, led by the governor of Mengli Prefecture himself.

On the other side is the Moon Resistance Army, claiming to be 10,000, but in fact 6,000 are not enough, and more than half of them are serfs and homeless people picked up halfway, led by Lassi, the former head of the Golden Gallen Port Militia Regiment.

Obviously, the governor of Mengqi Prefecture didn't take this group of stragglers in his eyes at all, and he didn't even bother His Majesty, and thought that he would send the good news to Tiandu after the fight was over, giving His Majesty a big surprise.

Coincidentally, his opponent Lassi is the same, who doesn't take his opponent seriously at all.

100,000 people......

Dare to brag!

In this poor mountain and bad water ghost place, if ten people can make up a gun, he will lose!

After arranging the operational deployment, this raunchy guy simply squatted in the barracks and flipped up the "Daily Survivor" that had been delivered with supplies.

Looking at the headlines about the southern seas, Lassi muttered to himself while biting on the steamed buns.

"It's pretty fast!"

He remembered that when he was still the master of Golden Gallen Harbor, the Alliance was still in a stalemate with the Federation in the Southern Seas. Except for the transfer of the Burning Corps, there was no movement at all to start fighting.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Federation was defeated.

Now that the alliance has taken the southern seas, it will definitely build infrastructure there in the near future.

If you want to develop the rotten land of Mengluzhou, you must seize this opportunity!

There are only people left in this place!

Stuffing the last piece of steamed bread into his mouth, Lassi's eyes flashed with essence as he chewed.

He's going to have to go a little faster!
