NcR - Eastern Special Region - City of Hoover Dam, Capital - Military Department.

Major Fleming sat absent-mindedly in the midst of a group of officers at the meeting, and was speaking in front of him with an impassioned speech, which was sometimes mixed with foul language, and was the brigadier general who had become the supreme military governor of the Eastern District by this time, and at the same time had a special capacity in Congress and was superior to others in power.

"Now that we've recaptured the fort of Alashid, it's a crucial first step, and the focus is on the 'first', you know? Those fucking bastards, doing whatever they want to our territory and people while our eyes are off here, these damn guys have nothing but failure, only a dead end, all of them! ”

He yelled, his fists clenched so tightly that he slammed into the table.

Major Fleming thought that Mayor Dodge was in a difficult situation, and involuntarily sighed.

It just so happened that the brigadier general drank a sip of water and rested temporarily, and the quiet needles in the audience could be heard falling to the ground, and his breath successfully attracted everyone's attention, especially the brigadier general, whose face instantly tensed.

"Fleming! What do you mean? Stand up! ”

Major Fleming gasped in fright, and directly sucked back the breath that had just sighed.

He hastily stood up from his chair like a spring and stood up in salute.

"No, Brigadier General, I'm just... I'm just a little tired. ”

The brigadier's gaze burned on his scalp like two flames, and then the commander walked up to Major Fleming with great vigour, and both of them could feel each other's breath when they got close.

"Tired? How can you, as an NcR soldier, say that you are tired? Why are you tired? None of the soldiers said they were tired, and now is the time for us to fight hard and make contributions for the future of the republic, and to take revenge and settle accounts with the enemies who have brutalized our compatriots and embezzled our land. ”

Then Fleming stood uncomfortably and was reprimanded by the brigadier general for five minutes, spitting and spraying in a variety of ways.

"Are you going to say that you have been in the Eastern Special Administrative Region for so many years and want to return to your hometown?"

The brigadier general's sudden words pierced the confused head of the scolded Major Fleming.

"No..."

He was a little frightened and returned to his hometown? I haven't been home for so many years, and I must want to go home and say goodbye to old age? ...

The brigadier pat him on the shoulder with a look of disappointment.

"I thought that you Fleming had been sticking to the Eastern Special Administrative Region for many years, and there was no merit and hard work, and the contribution could not be ignored, and I naturally saw it in my eyes, and it would not be long before I would have to promote your rank, but... If you think like this, it only means that I think highly of you, and you are not a person who can take on greater responsibility. Okay, you'll take off your clothes tomorrow and go back to New California, I'll approve it. ”

Major Fleming opened his mouth wide and sweated on his forehead, he had been holding on for so many years, seeing that the harvest and rewards were about to arrive, but he was going to be stripped of his clothes when he was about to get to the end?

"No, no, no! Don't, don't do this to me, Brigadier General, I... I also want to continue to contribute to the republic, I have no intention of going home, I... I can overcome all odds! ”

The brigadier looked at him from head to toe with suspicion.

"So? Then you need to prove it to me... Listen up Fleming, now we have some problems that I want you to solve. After we regain control of the rail network, the resources needed to run the trains are an urgent need, we need more coal, you take people to find a way to find out the mines! ”

Major Fleming complained bitterly in his heart, where did the coal mine come from in the Eastern Special Administrative Region, but he couldn't complain about anything, so he could only agree with his mouth and pat his chest as a guarantee.

The brigadier general's expression slowed slightly.

"Very well, I look forward to your completion of the mission, and when the time comes, I will personally confer on you the title of a new Colonel of the Republic..."

The palm of his hand slapped heavily on Major Fleming's shoulder, causing him to shake up and down.

.................

Andy walked in the city of Hoover Dam, and many things seemed to return to the state he was in when he first came, which was really weird, the world changed like a circle, Pablo's small shop was closed, I heard that the caravan of the three brothers was unable to supply again, and then was hired thugs to sabotage revenge, and Pablo, who couldn't stand it, took the burden back to New California, but only the room left for him was not locked and nailed with a wooden plank, which was obviously intentional.

It is almost impossible to ask who hired those thugs, they must be the Crimson Caravan.

Frida's gun shop was also closed, and during Andy's knock, the dwarf shopkeeper of the General's shop came out with a bruised nose and a swollen face to say that Frida had left Hoover Dam City, and it seemed that there was news from her family's side, and now there was only some dust left in the weapons shop.

"Mirko, what's up with your face?"

The dwarf was still a little mentally disturbed.

"What's going on? This is a man's medal, those NcR came to the door and said that they wanted to raise taxes, I wouldn't accept it, I beat three of them one by one and taught them a hard lesson, haha! ”

As he said this, a few pieces fell off the shop sign behind him.

Andy looked up at the messy grocery store, and saw that it would not be Mirko's one-to-three victory, but a group of NcR soldiers beating Mirko and smashing the store by the way...

Ever since he drank the dirty water, Mirko had gone mad, subconsciously thinking that he was a strong man nicknamed the General, and that he had been taught a lesson by saying insults and acting against the visiting soldiers.

Leaving the shop area at the top of the dam and continuing to walk along the top of the dam to the west, I saw that the door of the company building of the three brothers caravan was tightly sealed, and the announcement on the side read: Because the company is involved in illegal operations, it will be closed indefinitely from now on, and all those responsible have been arrested and detained in Black Canyon Prison for further investigation.

Andy stood in front of the door and watched for a while, the building was empty, what could he do at this time?

"Andy~"

A coquettish female voice sounded from not far away, and Andy turned his head to see McClofty and a minions standing not far away, wearing a black trench coat, expensive black high heels, and a pair of delicate black gloves, and her whole head was full of ornaments as usual.

"Why are you here? Are you here to see the ruins of the losers like me? Hahaha! ”

Andy glanced at them with a cold face, the gentleman's hat was hiding behind McClofdy and grimacing.

McClofty took a sip of a glass of champagne from someone next to him, then raised it to Andy.

"You've made the wrong choice in the past, but it's okay, I can give you another chance, those who have the ability are always privileged, what do you think? It's not too late. ”

Andy shook his head at her earnestly.

"I don't need to."

The gentleman's hat jumped out and screamed.

"Fool, you'll regret it! Just like the last time! ”

Andy raised his foot and kicked a stone with his toes, knocking the gentleman's hat into the air, causing him to scream in fright, and the crimson caravan guards behind McClofty raised their guns, but lowered them after she raised her hand.

McClofty looked at Andy with complicated eyes, his pale lips with crimson lipstick glowing a strange glow like blood in the dim light of the streetlights.

"I can ask why, right? Andy, from the very beginning, I have given you a series of special treatments, I have not hidden anything from you, I have also given you the greatest trust and enough rewards, compared to the three brothers, these lowly and inferior guys, what am I so bad in your heart? ”

Andy was silent for a moment and then spoke his thoughts.

"It's just that the Tao is different and not conspiring with each other, at first I opposed you because I supported the Dodge mayor, and then I opposed you, because I saw your unscrupulous means and the cruelty in your heart, those bombs and poisonous water, those frame-ups and tricks... Pablo's shop was smashed by someone you hired? Why? You might as well convince him to sign a contract with you instead, only to force him to leave the Hoover Dam. ”

McClav Della laugh noncommittally and thoughtfully at it.

"So... I can understand you, after all, no one knew back then, but you see, if you had chosen to support me, the people of Hoover Dam would not have been so miserable. Now that the brigadier general has come over with a group of big-headed soldiers to make this place like a military district, and the Dodge mayor is being investigated by the National Anti-Terrorism Bureau, who has the ability to say a few words? I could, but because of you, I can't do it now. ”

"As for the rest... Well, as a famous hero, it's natural that your moral standards are higher than ordinary people, but you're not a businessman so you don't understand. The mall is like a battlefield, what happens here has never changed since ancient times, only the strongest can survive to the end, and the embodiment of strength is in all aspects, which naturally includes the unsightly side, what do you think? If the Giordano brothers and I are reversed, what will they do? Isn't it the same as me? If they really abide by the law as they say, no one can check them, and now their fate is just to blame for themselves. ”

McClofty gulped down the remaining champagne and casually tossed the priceless glass off the Hoover Dam.

"I've never hired anyone to smash anyone's shop... Instead of doubting me, you should be suspicious of his rivals, I heard that Dusty in the Heartland... And, of course, a good friend of mine. She's always looked up to her competitors at the crest of the dam... That is, the Pablo in your mouth is a thorn in the side, and now people want to drink and have fun and have fun and have to go into the dam to spend money with her, and I am really happy for her. ”

Her eyes grew cold and returned to normal.

"Anyway, I'll always leave you a spot."

A group of people turned and left.

Andy also left the place after a while, and he didn't know what else he could do, could it be that he could have opened fire on the soldiers and officials at the Hoover Dam with his pistol and fist, so as to kill all sides and do whatever he wanted. What's going on? A monster? A terrorist? He certainly can't do it.

Once again, he was greeted by the branch of the Followers of the Apocalypse, and was warmly received by the branch president, who explained that they had successfully completed the telecommunication device and were trying to restore contact with the Great Dome.

"I want you to figure it out."

Andy thought about the big dome and couldn't ignore the people who were frozen.

"What you may not know is that Dr. Prester tricked a large number of New California scientists into going to the Great Dome of Colorara to participate in his 'New World' project, but the scientists who arrived there were all hypnotized and sealed in freezers, some of whom may have suffered from hypothermia and could not be thawed, and even if they did not, the Great Dome did not have enough supplies to feed more people, so they are still asleep to this day."

The Candace branch president listened to Andy's story seriously, and said that she would do everything she could, and this time she would return to the Eastern District with the soldiers, as well as a group of doctors, scientists and mercenaries sent by the Followers of the Apocalypse from the Boneyard State, as well as some medical equipment, emergency disposal items, supplies, etc., which greatly enriched the power of the Followers of the Apocalypse in the Eastern District.

"Yes, we will make a plan for this matter, and when we get in touch with Dr. Goddard and the others in the Great Dome, we will take further action based on what we know... But, I have to be honest with you, we have been involved in a lot of energy in response to the humanitarian catastrophe recently. ”

Andy was stunned for a moment and immediately asked.

"Now that the Eastern Special Region has such sufficient troops, those marauders can't shrink back, how can there be a humanitarian disaster?"

The Candace branch president smiled wryly.

"This... In fact, we are all used to it, as it was in the past, once the army starts to move, the refugee camps are always with them, no matter how much they try to whitewash their actions and justify themselves, and as a result, there will always be a large number of innocent civilians who will be harmed, lose everything, and become poor refugees. ”

"If we don't lend a hand, these refugees will either die miserably or become a breeding ground for hatred against the NcR, knowing that the NcR government has always only cared for its own people, to be precise... Those who can take care of themselves within their means. ”

After hearing this, Andy couldn't help but look at the Followers of the Apocalypse emblem on the wall next to him, this group of good people was really a rare light in the wasteland.

"What can I do? Where are the humanitarian catastrophes now? ”

Branch President Candace picked up the clipboard in his hand and flipped through it.

"Here's what we've learned so far: first of all, the problem of the albinos in the baseline zone, their leaders are a little calmer than before, but the problem is still there, these people have been living deep underground for a long time, living in poor conditions, and there is a serious shortage of supplies... The Brigadier General recently ordered the cancellation of the Dodge Mayor's previous exchange agreement, which means that the albinos will no longer be able to continue to be resupplied in exchange for maintaining hydroelectric generators. ”

Andy was a little surprised, what did the brigadier general want to do?

"He... What did he think? Isn't he afraid that the albino people will destroy the hydroelectric generators? ”

The Candace branch president shrugged.

"The Commodore claims that they have already stolen our land and resources, and that it should be an obligation to help us maintain our equipment, so they shouldn't continue to provide them with additional supplies, and if they want to be fed and fed, they will have to get out of the baseline zone... In addition, the last agreement also included the construction of the slag pit farm, so while the albinos were lax before, the soldiers who were originally stationed in the slag pit had already gone to the baseline area to control the area where the hydroelectric generator was located, and I heard that this was also a secret order issued by the brigadier general. ”

As soon as Andy heard this, he immediately knew that this was a big trouble that would be difficult to solve.
