To the west of the Borneo Sea, the bridge of the cruiser "Harpoon".

A group of officers led by Li Minghui were standing in front of the console, staring intently at the bright radar signal on the screen.

The Legion's airships did not do anything stealthy, and in fact they did not need to.

After all, such a big target floats in the sky, as long as it is not too far away or too blind, and it doesn't even need radar, you can see it clearly with your eyes.

"Four airships...... Tsk, that's a big deal. Staring at the beating circles of ripples on the screen, the adjutant standing next to Li Minghui couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

The captain on the side also clenched his fists involuntarily and rested his hand on the console.

"It's so deceitful, these guys drove straight in our faces!"

“…… If only the Haiya were still around. ”

"How many times have you said this, my ears are going to hear calluses."

Fishing out a sunken battleship and repairing it is no less expensive than rebuilding a new one.

Now that the South China Sea alliance cannot afford to pay the high cost, the delegates will be even less likely to agree to a proposal that would not benefit their own citizens.

In fact, not to mention the representative meeting, Li Minghui himself felt that there was no need to build another Haiya.

With the advent of a new era, that thing is destined to be obsolete.

It's the same as the "steel airship" it opposes.

"It doesn't matter."

Lowering the arms held in front of his chest, Li Minghui straightened the officer hat he was wearing on his head, and continued in a calm tone.

“…… Since the academy said they would make a move, it would be better to leave it to them. ”

……

At the same time, another world.

[Evaluation: S (Epic victory!) ）】

The official website forum of "Wasteland OL" is as lively as ever today.

Since the release of the new expansion "Southern Barbarian Invasion", the official website forum has been updated from time to time with reports of some important battles.

While not all players have joined the ranks of volunteers, most players are enthusiastic about the progress of the battle due to the fact that several well-known legions have participated in the battle.

Even most players have never even been to that part of Borneo.

Quit smoking: "Brother Fang is awesome!! ”

Tail: "Whoa! It's amazing! ()”

Fang Chang: "Ji Cao Don't be six...... Ahem, don't pretend to be forced, this time the play is really okay. Of course, the main thing is that everyone is playing well. (pushes glasses)"

Picking up trash level 99: "6666!" ”

It is difficult for strong people: "This is a perfect score." (Funny)"

One thing to say, this battle is indeed the most high-level battle they have fought in recent times.

At the same time, it is also the most eyebrow-raising one.

Although they had achieved some partial victories before, it still did not change the fact that the front of the army was advancing like a bamboo, and the army of Borneo was completely one-sidedly beaten.

This time, however, it was different, and their allies suddenly stood up.

Although there is indeed a suspicion of carelessness on the other side, it is also their ability to seize the fighter and maximize it.

But having said that, although Fang Chang didn't pretend to be forced, this guy was all pretended to be in action, so that it caused the dissatisfaction of the good brothers.

Edge paddling: "Gan! We're the main force, okay? ”

Debt Eye: "MMP! It's too much! We're fighting tough battles, and we're forcing you to pretend to be all! (Angry)"

Night Ten: "You didn't force us to pretend." We also captured a commander of the 360,000th Troop, collected 52 self-propelled guns, and disabled the support team of the 370,000th Troop by the way...... Ok ok. (Funny)"

Debt Big Eyes: "@#%!" ”

Tempest: "You're a bit of a bully. (Squint)"

The mole on the run in the canyon: "Something is wrong, how do you feel that your Burning Corps has been secretly picking up bargains behind your back, and you want to be the MVP this time!" What about conscience! ”

Elf King Fugui: "That's it!" This wave of my eyes is too much! ”

Irena: "Manual funny. ”

Tyrannosaurus Warrior: "Fight!" (excited)"

Due to the fact that there were too many voices of condemnation, Fang Chang may have felt that he was at a loss, so he dived into the water without saying a word.

Only Ye Shi is more energetic, and he fights with a group of Confucians, and in order to compete for this MVP, he quarrels with more than a dozen people on hundreds of floors.

As for the cloud players, they watched the play on the sidelines, occasionally interjecting a few words, and doing things left and right.

Fortunately, the dog plan is "impartial law enforcement", and it is impossible to listen to whoever is loud.

After the battle score was settled, the Death Corps won the MVP of the entire battle by a narrow margin.

After all, they completely annihilated a division, although the division commander on the opposite side was captured by the Burning Corps, objectively speaking, this head is more like a pick-up.

As for the other division, it is mainly the credit of the NPC troops.

For such a result, Lao Bai and Fang Chang had no objection.

It's better to say that they really want to give the other corps some opportunities, lest the benefits be all on their side, and they will be hated by a group of people, and they will be yelled at "cut a knife" by a group of people.

As the top 0 corps in the whole server, the ace of the league's aces, they didn't care about the score of one or two battles.

Especially Fang Chang himself.

He gets more out of the victory of the entire war than the victory and reward of one or two partial battles.

This is true not only of him, but also of the shareholders of Baiyue Company, as well as other life professional players who have indirectly benefited from it.

The conversation quickly shifted from the victory or defeat of one battle to the events after the victory of the entire war.

It is a province of hundreds of millions of people.

And it is foreseeable that with the end of the war, there is a high probability that there will be a wave of baby booms like the provinces of the River Valley, and the population will usher in another round of explosive growth.

These people need food, clothing, housing, education, hospitals, transportation and infrastructure to get around, and so on.

And they don't just have needs, and by meeting those needs, they will create wealth that goes far beyond the needs themselves.

In particular, the local people are hardworking enough and have good credit status, as long as they have the idea of struggle, there will definitely be banks willing to lend them a sum of money to help them tide over the difficulties, and share the benefits after the cake becomes bigger.

An old feudal empire is about to move towards a new era.

They don't even need to rely on external opportunities like Mammoth Nation, because they themselves are the biggest opportunities in the entire wasteland, not inferior even to the space elevators under construction.

The latter are torches that burn in the sky, and they will be the light of the earth.

It's also easy to seize these opportunities.

It doesn't even need Absech to be too smart, it just needs that he's a normal person.

Watching Elder Brother Fang talk about infrastructure from agriculture, and then from infrastructure to immigrating to space after blowing, some players and cloud players were fascinated, as if they were really planning to draw cakes.

However, there are also some people who are sensible and skeptical.

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "It's not that I have to pour cold water on you, it's just that I always feel that what you think about is too smooth." ”

Fang Chang: "Actually, don't say you think so, I myself have felt so more than once, but we can't judge the development of objective things based on intuition." ”

When they needed a strong leader to unite a plate of scattered Brahmans, they almost quickly got a Rasi.

Rassi was too tough and had the ability to fight, but lacked the skills of a politician, so they quickly got a balanced player like Absek.

From that point of view, they did go a little too well.

Sometimes, however, he wonders that this is not the choice of the Brahmans themselves.

There is such a force within them.

It's not a powerful force, but it comes to the fore when the time is right.

However, as before, Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law still has a different view this time.

"It's not that I'm intuitionist, but I don't think there's anything wrong with the Legion's idea of turning cattle into cargo. It's just that their internal differences are too big, and this time they just broke through the critical point of mutual checks and balances, so they got out of it. ”

"If you want to turn livestock directly into people, skipping the middle link, I think it's as difficult as turning a stone into gold. Haha, of course, I'm just a cloud, so I'm just beeping, maybe there's a miracle in the game. (Funny)"

Fang Chang: "Tsk, you guy is quite annoying sometimes, can you dream a little." (Squint)"

Professor Yang of the Thunder and Lightning Law: "I am a realist and a pragmatist, in my opinion, stocks that cannot be shorted cannot rise for a long time, so you must get off before the collapse, you are a financial person should understand what I mean." ”

"Even if you get a shadowless lamp and get them a lot of good people, you can't solve the shadows hidden inside, they are themselves. People have their own limitations, and this is their limitations, and this is your limitations. ”

Throwing away this ambiguous sentence, Professor Yang, who was pretending to be forced, disappeared from the diving, just like the proud brothers.

As usual, everyone didn't pay much attention.

After all, it's not the first time this guy has farted, and there hasn't been a single time to do it.

As for Fang Chang, although he pondered for a while, he didn't pay much attention to it in the end.

In fact, he knows what Professor Yang said, but it doesn't matter.

This war decided not only the fate of the Brahmans, but also the fate of the Wilantes.

If the Southern Legion is defeated, the Legion's disintegration is almost inevitable.

After all, they had actually wanted to split up for a long time, and the Eastern Legion might wish that the Southern Legion would be defeated, but they couldn't end it in person because of the internal counterbalance.

And by that time, a wave of liberation movements was bound to take place in the colonies of the Southern Corps.

The suppressed native forces will be unleashed with the weakening of the Southern Corps.

But that's not a bad thing for the Willantes.

As long as they are thoroughly aware of their own reckoning and the duality of their own and others' histories, they will also have a chance to enter a new era.

It is precisely for this reason that, even if the alliance can't pull all the Brahmans on the ship to the New World, as Professor Yang said, at least some of the Wilantes can be brought onto the ship.

This is also not a loss.

In other words, no matter what, their efforts will never be in vain.

As long as they can win.

In the end, it's just a big win or a small win......

……

Ever since the legion had taken over the Lion State, there had been a lot of panic in Tiandu City.

Especially after hearing about the tragic situation of Lion City, the residents of the city are even more dangerous, fearing that the fire will befall their heads.

But worry is worry, some things are useless even if you are afraid, you still have to come, and life still has to go on as usual.

And if you think about it, there's actually nothing to be afraid of. Although they scared away a big commissioner, the big commander hasn't run yet, and they don't seem to have anything to fear.

And on this stormy stall, two happy things suddenly happened.

One thing is the big victory in Akal County, and the other thing is the opening of the big exam.

Especially the latter.

For most ordinary survivors, it was an opportunity to change the fate of a family.

In a sense, the results of this big test are even more popular with the locals than the big victory in Akale County.

On the streets of Tiandu City.

The newspaper boy ran through the streets, shouting as he ran.

"Big news, big news!! A big win for Akale County! Tiandu City University Entrance Examination List! ”

Hearing the shouting, the people gathered around, and several people scraped together their money to buy one.

The new edition of Tiandu City's "Survivor Daily" is actually not expensive, and they can't afford it if they live in the city.

It's just that this exam has already been completed, and they really don't want to spend more money on "useless" things.

The newsboy, who was a local, was accustomed to this, and knew that a circle of people could sell at most one piece, so he quickly ran off to the next street.

Anyway, there are a lot of people here, as long as his legs and feet are fast enough, he can sell some of them.

"Hey! My son is not on the list! ”

"If you lose money, I'll say that kid is the life of farming, and he spent so much money in vain."

"You can't buy blindly, what's the use of buying those old newspapers, you have to buy some useful books!"

"Yes...... What is a useful book? ”

"The Kabaha commissioner who came up with this question used to work in the Royal Printing House, which is now the Tiandu No. 1 Printing House, what books does he like to read, won't you go to the staff inside to ask?"

"Oh, if only I had known two days earlier, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"I also listened to my neighbors...... That guy is very bad, and he secretly does it himself. ”

"Then his son was admitted?"

"If you get a fart, the bad guy who runs oil also deserves to be on the list? I said that his son would definitely not be able to pass the exam! ”

A group of people chattered for a while, and found that there was no one on the list, and they couldn't help but feel a little comforted while feeling pain in their hearts.

At least it's not just their own children who are on the list, but also the children of neighbors who are not on the list.

Soon rumors spread that this exam has nothing to do with civilians, the quota has been decided, the children of officers will be divided, the children of cultural people will be divided into some more, and there will not be much left that can be distributed to civilians.

This is actually true and incorrect.

Commissioner Kabaha did indeed do justice enough, not only dutifully setting up a committee for editing questions and a committee for revising papers, but also making a "double-blind" rule and requiring that no one leave the suspended heavenly palace until the results of the examination were known.

Neither the one who produces the paper nor the one who changes the paper is not.

In this case, it is almost impossible to cheat for personal gain, and there is no chance to even stuff money.

As for the bribery of Commissioner Kabaha himself, he didn't even have to think about it, it was out of the way, and even Absec pointed his nose and scolded him ruthlessly, and it was better to look for Absakha directly.

However, even if Kabaha did 10,000 things to ensure fairness, he could not stand up to the mess left by the old empire, and the educational resources themselves were unequal.

There are only a few literate people in the entire Tiandu City, either old nobles and former servants, or some wealthy businessmen who do business or accountants in the bookkeepers, etc.

Their sons are educated.

Even if Renlianyu is easy to learn and arithmetic is not too difficult, it still can't stand their starting line and is directly one rank higher.

Not to mention that the sons of civilians can't win the test, even the sons of the big bosses in the army can't win the test.

After all, even Absec himself used to be a "gray wolf" working on the docks, not to mention other officers, some of whom used to farm the land, and some of whom were carpenters, and who had never touched a book.

But even so, there are still some children of civilians who are selected.

In particular, in the selection of preparatory courses, the proportion of children from civilian families who are selected is much higher than that of those who require 16 years of age or older.

These kids are true geniuses, just like little fish who are born with a sensitivity to numbers.

They have an extremely keen instinct for words and numbers, and they may only take a few minutes to figure out a problem that would take hours to think about, or even draw inferences about areas of interest.

With a little training, they can easily become great people or even great powers in a certain field.

That's where the benefits of being more crowded.

There were no more than a hundred households in the whole of Bate Street, and even with the help of the shelter, only a small fish was born.

However, in Tiandu City, which has a population of millions, the number of talents is also geometrically multiplied.

Perhaps Absec himself did not know what a huge gold mine sat under his ass.

And this gold mine is also what Fang Chang covets the most.

It's a terrible thing for the Legion to mine them as iron ore!

Of course, it's too early to talk about these distant things, and the locals are still immersed in the most primitive happiness for the time being.

After all, as long as you are admitted, you can change your fate, and this kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing is not common.

Occasionally, there were one or two exclamations on the street, and some people even fainted in surprise, causing a commotion among others.

"Hahaha! Hit! My youngest son is hit! An old man in a short shirt was full of excitement, this old man and young son, I am afraid that there will be four or five people in the family.

And that's the case, his name is Roots, he lives in a neighborhood nearby, the eldest son is thirty-five or sixteen, and he has already married a family, and the younger son is only twelve, just enough age for preparatory admissions.

When he signed up for his youngest son, he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect to be admitted.

It's really a manifestation of the Divine Cow of the Day!

The people around him were envious and jealous in their hearts, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, they still had to compliment them.

"Congratulations, uncle, your son will be the leader in the future!"

"Hey! When will my family have this blessing? ”

A man who was also wearing a short shirt sighed, only hating his son for not being angry.

This was originally a self-pitying mutter, but it happened to be heard by others, and it immediately provoked a ridicule.

"Just you? The old man Roots lives in the heavenly capital, and the ancestor is also a wide person, and you are also worthy of eating imperial food with mud legs! ”

The man's face turned red when he heard this, and he reached out to pull the man's collar.

"You! Why is Lao Tzu unworthy! ”

The man who was grabbed by the collar also blushed, only to feel that he had lost face in front of others, and immediately pushed back.

"You dare to do it with Lao Tzu?! I don't know if it's alive or dead! ”

"I'm @#%!"

The verbal argument turned into fists and feet, and the two neighbors fought over the matter of "worthy or not".

The ruthlessness of the attack seems to have vented the resentment of his son's failure to pass the exam.

Seeing this, others pulled them away, and the old man who was excited also took action.

"Eh, what are you doing! Let it go! There is no royal law in the eyes! ”

There is nothing wrong with this righteous statement, and only those who refute it have problems.

However, the tone of the protagonist to call the subordinates seems to have skipped many steps and has already sat on the master's chair.

The people around didn't feel anything wrong, but clapped their hands and praised it.

As the saying goes, a father like a tiger cannot give birth to a son like a dog. This old Roots is so upright, presumably little Roots must be a clean official when he grows up in the future.

Those two fierce guys didn't dare to continue to speak, after all, the old man's face still had to be given.

At this time, a man in long sleeves squeezed into the crowd, complimented old Roots with a smile on his face for a while, and then couldn't wait to speak.

"Uncle, how old is your son? Is there a marriage? How many have you married—"

Before the fellow could finish speaking, the old man pushed him away with a look of disgust.

"Go away! My son is going to marry, and he has to marry a scholar, what are you! ”

If it was a different occasion, he might have agreed, after all, the identity of the person in front of him does not look low, even if he is a baby parent, his son will not suffer.

However, the neighbors around him held him in high esteem, and he unconsciously regarded himself as a person.

When others heard it, they didn't think it was inappropriate, but they coaxed and echoed it, praising the old man for his vision, and he must not make the marriage of this little son hasty.

The man in the long sleeves turned blue and white for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything, glared fiercely at the crazy mud-legged people, and then brushed his sleeves and left.

Similar farces were staged all over Tiandu City, which could be regarded as adding a bit of joy to the solemn atmosphere.

Looking at the noisy bunch, little Gail's face was full of disdain.

Isn't it just an exam?

Look at the excitement of these guys.

His father was Captain Pickery, a subordinate of Duvata, the "Tiger King".

Although Duvata's power is not as powerful as that of the Absec commander, he is still a big man in Tiandu.

As for the Kabaha, he was nothing more than a "commissioner", and to put it mildly, he was a dog kept by Absek, and he was not very obedient.

It is precisely because of this that he didn't take the so-called big test in his eyes at all.

What if you don't pass the test?

Even if he can't pass the test, he can still be a captain in the future!

Not only the disdain on his face, but also the little followers beside him, their eyes full of contempt.

“…… A bunch of inferior people, look at their excitement. ”

"That's it!"

"It's just a high score in the exam, can you really rely on that thing to change your life?"

"By the way, it seems that Brother Gale also took that exam?"

Seeing that the topic suddenly came to himself, Gail coped with it without being salty.

"Well, my dad helped me sign up, and if I had to take that exam, I went."

The attendants around glanced at each other.

They actually went, and they were all forced by their fathers to go, saying that it was for one more way.

After all, their father is only a thousand-commander, and he really doesn't have the ability to pack tickets, so that they can be a thousand-commander in the future.

It's just that they didn't expect that the son of the captain would have to take the big test.

"What about you...... How do you feel about that topic? One of the attendants couldn't help but ask.

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by another little brother who was anxious to pat himself on the back.

"Do you need to ask! For us Gael, that kind of topic is not a simple meaning! ”

"That's it!"

The other younger brothers also responded, and they did not hesitate to praise them, sending all kinds of sycophants, which made Girqua's heart flutter for a while.

In fact, to put it to the point, the questions in the exam are still a little difficult.

Even if the teacher hired by his father gave him special training for a week, he couldn't answer several questions, so he could only write some answers and hand in the papers.

However, he was praised by everyone for a while, and he was also a little difficult to ride a tiger at this moment.

This force has to be pretended if he doesn't pretend, otherwise how will he mix on this street in the future after he "closes the door"?

“…… Normally, it's not very difficult, anyway, I'm full of volumes. ”

For the sake of his father's face and for himself, he replied vaguely.

And as soon as these words came out, he was still a little unconfident, but he was also confident in his heart.

Think about it too.

His father is a henchman of Duvata! Someone that even the Absec Commander had to woo!

How dare a mere education commissioner let him fail the exam!

When the surrounding junior brothers heard that such a difficult volume was actually written by their boss, they all exclaimed, and the expressions on their faces were even more admired, and they all shouted to buy a newspaper and see how many of the boss's names were ranked among the two hundred undergraduates.

Gail was also curious about how many of his competitors would be in line, and even counted a few competitive guys in his heart.

Absek was a bachelor and had no offspring.

The youngest son of Grand Commissar Duvata must have been on it, remembering that he was seventeen years old.

and the little nephew of Grand Commissioner Negli seems to be eighteen years old, and his second wife's oil bottle is only twelve, and even if he wants to take the exam, it is a preparatory department, and it is not a set of papers for the undergraduate......

After doing the math, it's definitely no problem to count yourself in the top ten.

Already having a number in mind, Gale triumphantly commanded a few younger brothers, went up to stop a newsboy, and then generously took out a hundred-dollar Borneo bill and slapped it in the hand of the terrified boy.

"Don't look for it, I'll reward you for the rest."

Although I don't know what kind of nerves these guys have, he is just a newsboy, and he doesn't dare to offend these guys.

Although there used to be a group of old aristocrats who were careless about people's lives, those adults were so careless about their faces, never did it themselves, and did not come into contact with the poor.

But these guys are different, their fathers are all from the Heavenly King Yanush, but they don't care about whether they are shameless or shameless, they always do it themselves, and they are all killed.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Nodding his head and thanking him, the newsboy put away his money and fled in a hurry to the street next door, not daring to stay for a moment.

Gail, who was in a good mood, didn't have the same knowledge as him, and shook the newspaper in his hand vividly.

However, when he turned to the page of the admission list for the big exam, he was stunned.

His name is not on it.

Not only is his name gone, but neither is the youngest son of "Tiger King" Duvata nor the little nephew of "Leopard King" Nigli, all of whom are names he has never heard of......

Gail's face turned red, then iron-blue, like an enraged bull.

How dare this old immortal thing!

The younger brothers who had followed the coaxing before also closed their mouths and looked at their eldest brother tremblingly, and no one dared to say a word.

They are all sensible children, for fear of cheating their father and making themselves orphans.

After a moment, Gail's took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down.

The list was posted in the newspaper, and the whole city saw it, and even if he was angry, it was useless, and he couldn't change anything.

This old thing is ruthless enough!

Offend everyone who can be offended at once!

Pouting disdainfully, Gail crumpled the newspaper in his hand and threw it on the side of the street.

“…… It's hard to test this thing. ”

Seeing that the boss finally opened his mouth to "define the sex" for this big test, the younger brothers around him suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The boss doesn't speak, they don't scold well, for fear that the free play will not play well, and a sycophant will be slapped on the horse's leg, so it is better not to shoot.

However, they were relieved for less than two seconds, and their faces turned into bitter melons.

It's hard to take the test......

Doesn't that mean that those who have taken the exam are all bad writers?

Ah......h

Whether it's scolding or not scolding.

"Big brother is talking about ......"

"Ahem, the boss is in charge!"

"Indeed...... That thing is something inferior to ponder...... Anyway, nothing remarkable. ”

Some people vaguely agreed, and some people tried to patch this awkward patch, but no one dared to point out the problem with the sentence itself.

Gale didn't care, and he didn't take these sycophants to heart at all, just sneered.

We'll see.

He wasn't the only one who lost face, but everyone. If this list is not published, there is still room for redemption, and if it is reported, it will be completely shameless.

It's a big deal!

(End of chapter)
