Disadvantage?

Perbov seemed a little confused.

Henry was also patient at this time to explain.

He first stretched out his hand and nodded to himself: "I am the wedge appointed by the Governor to the garbage town, if the governor wants to take the garbage town, it is my duty to do it, it is best to be able to get things done before the Governor's army arrives, and then the army only needs to come to the town and help the new alliance system to be implemented in the garbage town." If it has to go to the point where the army uses force, isn't it because I am not doing well? ”

Perbov thought for a moment and nodded slightly, agreeing with Henry's idea.

Then Henry pointed his hand at Perbof:

"As for Mr. Major, you have been instructed by the Governor to come to this field and sweep away all the settlements, to move the population, and to change the flag of the settlements that you want to remain, and to accept the complete and complete rule of the new Union Government, and to sweep away all those who oppose it. You're doing well, but you're not the best. Because within a range of 200 kilometers, there is such a special existence as a garbage town. There are 100,000 permanent residents here, another 100,000 small territories that depend on the operation of Junk Town, and 100,000 armed scavengers and adventurers who have been scavenging in the ruins of the Tower for a long time......"

"In terms of population, in terms of the importance of raw material extraction, this is the most important place in all the settlements around Fuxing City. And it's right on the edge of your mission range. It's true that the Governor didn't let you take Junk Town with these 800 soldiers, but if you can do it, wouldn't it be a perfect score for the answer sheet that was originally just a pass? ”

After thinking about it carefully, Perbov had to admit that he was indeed moved by Denison Henry.

There is another key in this, Henry doesn't know, isn't he still clear, he came this time, with the accumulation of meritorious service, and strive to be able to logically replace Yan Fangxu, who will become the commander-in-chief of the whole army in the future, to be the brigade commander of the Wind Extinguishing Brigade?

At present, he has indeed completed his task step by step, and the completion is qualified, not only the two hundred kilometers and nearly ten settlements are all under the rule of the new alliance, but the battle of Sanchi has almost completely wiped out the bandits entrenched in this area at a small cost, and no one can say that he has not done a good enough.

But Perbov himself always felt that it was not enough.

Now that Henry had Junk Town on his lips, he couldn't help but drool.

Garbage Town...... He still remembers that when he was just a miner in the Hole Society, living a truly dark life, Junk Town was a powerful place in the distance. Whether the entire Waste Cave Society can have a meal or not depends on whether the merchants in the garbage town are willing to give more rice to buy the ore produced by their Waste Cave Society.

For him, the presence of Junk Town is even more important than that of Fuxing City, which is much closer.

And now, as the leader of the miners' group, can he have the opportunity to lead the army and take down such a place?

But despite the desire for feats, Perbov was able to keep his sanity.

Even if Garbage Town was barely a settlement within two hundred kilometers of the Governor telling him to do things on his own, he still remembered that he couldn't do it on his own.

It wasn't a small settlement. As Henry said, there are two or three hundred thousand people in the sphere of influence of Junk Town, and because of the unique industrial ecology, almost everyone has guns, and there are always 100,000 armed scavengers and adventurers who lick blood on the tip of the knife all year round.

They are indeed not armies, but they are perhaps better equipped than those raiders, and they have more combat experience and will.

If things hadn't worked out and there had been a military conflict, he would not have been able to win such a battle with 800 men under his command.

Not to mention, there's the possibility of getting bogged down in the quagmire between Garbage Town and the Greenskins.

So, he stuck to his previous statement: "I need further authorization to act." ”

Henry smiled: "Of course, when the signal is connected, we will talk together." ”

His goal has been achieved.

Even if Perbov dared to follow him now, he wouldn't dare let him follow him like this. He was not so bold as to dare to encourage the army to do things outside his authority without a military order.

It's too taboo, I'm afraid that even if it succeeds, it will be killed by the governor afterwards.

He wouldn't make that mistake.

Coming to Perbov, he really came to borrow the military's communications radio.

Of course, in addition to this, a bigger thought is to want to move Perbov himself.

The mere execution of orders and Perbof's own subjective initiative in this regard are, of course, two completely different situations.

It would have been better if Major Perbov had been able to help him later in his debriefing with the Governor to increase his chances of success.

But unexpectedly, in the end, this idea fell through.

Because when the radio station was connected to Fuxing City, he got a message.

The Governor was no longer in Fuxing City, but was heading for Junk Town with Lieutenant Colonel Tadius and the 2nd Infantry Division.

The Governor had one more word left.

"I hope my army will only have to deal with the green-skinned orcs by then."

He had heard this once before when he had met the Governor, but this time he had a different feeling.

He turned his head and looked at Perbof: "You understand what the Governor means?" ”

"Understood." "I'm here to help." But again, I hope that it doesn't get to the point of using knives and guns, and that my troops will stop twenty kilometers away from Junk Town. I'll leave the rest to you, and if things don't go well, I'll wait for the 2nd Infantry Division to arrive. ”

"That's enough."

……

When Henry was talking to Perbow, he looked like he was holding the pearl of wisdom, but he was actually panicking.

Because he counted his time.

In the case of most of the walking, the distance from Fuxing City to Junk Town is about a little more than 200 kilometers, and the normal marching speed is three to five days faster, and no more than ten days at most if it is slower.

Combined with the words left by the Governor, this is the time given to him to dispose of the garbage town.

He's got to hold on.

Fortunately, following the actions of Perbof's synthetic battalion, the speed is still guaranteed.

The synthetic battalion was almost completely motorized. Even the most bulky 155 howitzer was put on wheels and dragged by towing trucks; All the soldiers, including the engineer company and the logistics support company, are also used by troop carriers and baggage trucks.

Among the troops, the slowest and most lagging behind was the armored company.

Twelve old tanks were dragged behind, and they could only run at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, which made people afraid that a few would break down on the road.

In fact, this does happen.

Halfway through, a tank broke down.

But this did not affect the speed of the entire army. Leaving some maintenance personnel and car crews, the rest still walked a distance of 50 kilometers smoothly and arrived outside the garbage town.

At this point, it was already late at night.

The troops stopped and set up camp, while Denison Henry, with a small retinue and escort, met the group that had come cautiously from Junk Town to inspect the situation, explained it, and then calmly entered the city.

The scouts who had come to check on the situation had not dispersed, and were still surrounding Perbof's troops in the darkness of the night.

Perbov didn't care.

He's already spilled out the sentries, the guards, as long as these people don't get too close, they want to look at the perimeter, then watch.

This calm and unhurried posture made the snoopers on the periphery even more frightened.

Of course, the most frightening are the artillery, armored vehicles and tanks that are not visible in the dark, but they are real.

Coupled with the soldiers' forbidden and well-trained appearances, the snoopers clearly understood that although this team was small in number, it was extremely combative.

Contacting the background of the new agent, that is, Mr. Henry, where could you not guess that this is a unit from the New Alliance and subordinate to the Governor?

……

The next day, Denison Henry saw the person he wanted to meet.

His name is Jason Swan.

This is a man with white hair and a majestic face, with fierceness, wind and frost, and vicissitudes between his eyebrows.

He's the biggest agent in Junk Town.

When he was young, Jason Swan was already messing around in garbage town. At first, he was just an ordinary scavenger, daring to fight, joined a small adventure group, and later became the boss, and then he ran the entire adventure team into a group, and robbed some of the business of refining raw materials, and later opened up some business routes......

He became the agent, and slowly became the biggest one.

It's just a few words, but since he was fifteen years old and thirty-five years now, he has experienced an unknown number of deceits, life and death battles, before he reaches his current position.

He owns the largest raw material processing plant in Junktown, with a 20% share of the trade and trade, and his venture party called the Clock Blades is one of the best armed forces in Junktown.

Industry and force constitute the prestige of Mr. Swann today.

He has always been unsmiling, showing his majestic side, even in the recent difficult times, he has always maintained this attitude, and to a certain extent, it has also played a role in stabilizing people's hearts.

In fact, no one knows whether he panicked or not.

It's not the first time Denison Henry has met Swan.

Every time we met in the past, he was as humble as an ant. Even after he was nominated to become an agent, the relationship between the two parties remained unchanged.

Stripped of the new industry he mastered about the alloy, plastic and steel series, the forces actually controlled by Henry himself were not comparable to the real boss in Junk Town.

But today, he had to change his mindset and straighten his back.

He represents the Governor!

His mindset has changed.

Behind me stands the master of the entire planet, and when the Governor takes control of Renaissance City, this lord is no longer just a name, but a real and powerful force to protect it.

With such a hard backstage, why should I grovel to the leader of an armed merchant in a garbage town?

I'm really used to kneeling before!

As if sensing something, Swann raised his head, and his eagle-like gaze swept over Henry's face, and he spoke slowly, and a slightly hoarse voice sounded:

"You're here to persuade me to surrender to the governor in Fuxing City?"

Henry's legs were still a little weak, and many rumors about Swan's ruthlessness and decisiveness flashed through his mind.

He's not a hard-skinned person at all.

But he still struggled to maintain the dignity on his face.

"Yes." "Do you have any other options?" he said. ”

"I can slaughter you." Swan's tone was cold.

Hearing this, Henry's ass tightened, but then relaxed again.

At first glance, it was scary, because Jason Swan is really capable of doing it.

However, a closer analysis reveals that Mr. Swann was posturing.

Because a month ago, if he dared to say anything to persuade you to surrender, Mr. Swann was afraid that he would not say more to him, and he would have been killed with one shot.

And now, saying that he can kill him is a sign of weakness.

Thinking about this in an instant, Henry was a little more relaxed.

"Of course, you can do this, you can be considered the owner of Junk Town, what's so hard about killing me?" Henry complimented Swan's words, but as soon as his voice changed, he began again: "But this is not called a choice. ”

Swann didn't say much, just stared at Henry.

But Henry became more and more energetic: "Isn't today's garbage town the time when it is the most worrying about external and internal troubles?" The proliferation of the green-skinned orcs caused the least reduction in production, and when the scavengers, the adventurers, found that their danger of entering the ruins of the Tower was greatly increased, but the harvest was greatly reduced, would they still gather here? In particular, Fuxing City is now more attractive to the homeless, and the policies there are too tempting. ”

"Without these scavengers and adventurers, what will happen to the industries that depend on them? The taverns, the brothels, and the cloakshops are to be closed; The primary processing of garbage will all be closed; The developed business industry will not be able to do so because of this, and eventually the garbage town will become a real garbage that no one cares about. ”

"Destroying Junk Town doesn't require those greenskinned orcs to break through our defenses and slaughter our people. They just need to keep the pressure on them to make scavenging a high-risk, low-reward affair that is enough to destroy our town, which is built on picking up garbage. ”

Henry tells about the crisis from the level of economic foundations.

Swann just listened in silence.

That's not a big deal.

This danger has been seen by others, and it is even happening.

Most of the adventurers and scavengers in Junk Town don't have much personal attachment to the agents. A small number of them are mercenary, and even a considerable number of them are independent adventure groups. They go into the ruins of the city and make a basic profit by picking up garbage and selling it; If you can pick up the scientific and technological products, artworks, and relatively well-preserved psionic crystals that can be used in the pre-war era, then you can make a lot of money.

And now, because of the fight against the greenskins, the risks of taking risks are increased and the returns are reduced. They will also be specially requisitioned to fill the battle line in the most fierce places. Although they were given commissions and equipment, the battle was still too difficult to fight, and many adventuring parties would refuse to be recruited, or even leave Junk Town in whole groups.

Not many people have left, and the scale is not large, but this is an extremely dangerous omen, a precursor to the collapse of the levee.
