Chapter 187, it's all my people from the beginning
This farce ended with the arrest of Crocker Jr.
In Jason Morgan's view, this is a farce.
What Crocker Jr. said on the committee, Morgan can only say is nonsense.
Can the way of struggle that guy talk about be done?
It can be done, but there is a premise.
First of all, you have to have external support, otherwise you will do things out of thin air, and you will have no resources at hand, so how can you get it? Let people go on strike, and they have to continue the struggle in a state where the principal has absconded and hidden, and people have to eat and have a way back.
Of course, Crocker Jr. is not unprepared for this. During subsequent interrogation, he confessed that he had a connection with Blackbird Heavy Industries.
But Jason Morgan scoffs at it.
Blackbird Heavy Industries is tens of thousands of miles away, providing materials to support the resistance movement in the North Qinggu area? It's not just that the distance is as simple as the distance, but the terrain gap in the middle is huge. From Beiqinggu to the western part of the mainland, there is a western desert in the middle of the mountains and mountains, and it is impossible to go at all. The proper trade route had to be taken from the central provinces under the direct control of the Alliance.
Not to mention the capacity and cost, the alliance is not blind, it can't be so easy.
Moreover, external support is only one of them.
The core success or failure of the resistance envisioned by Crocker Jr. was whether it could be supported by the local population.
If you want to hide, you have to hide it. Not to mention whether these landlords can endure hardship, even if they can endure hardship, but people have to eat and have a place to live.
If the alliance under Governor Gu is a brutal regime that makes the people miserable and the people's grievances boiling; If little Crocker and the other manor owners are the reincarnation of some kind of bodhisattvas, they used to be very good to the peasant uncles under their rule, and you are indispensable to eat with me......
If that's the case, there's still a play for what kind of resistance they are engaged in. The four million people in the Beiqing Valley area, support them, they can really hide, and they can constantly stir up the wind and waves and mobilize the masses to resist.
What happened to the bloody crackdown? Kill the head, and new ones will pop up; If a group of people are killed, new ones will also come out. The more repression, the more hatred, the more resistance.
But it's not.
The large area of refugees in the Qinggu area can't survive anymore. It was the alliance that set up mutual aid associations and relocated refugees to the Twin Cities in batches; Those who haven't migrated for the time being have at least been given food, no matter where the food comes from, in short, the civil affairs officials of the alliance are constantly brushing up their sense of existence; There is a cure for the disease......
The militia group was also formed with the help of the Alliance's military observers, who took the arms provided by the Alliance to keep one side safe.
In the past, the lords of the manor were not cruel, but they were not merciful.
Four million Qinggu people are waiting to line up for a place in the Twin Cities area, who is going to do what kind of resistance movement you are going to do?
Hidden? Someone reports it every minute, and if it doesn't change hands well, he will get a reward and become a city person.
Moreover, without saying anything so far, little Crocker dreamed that he was the chairman of the mutual aid association, but he couldn't even control the mutual aid association.
Jason Morgan came from the manor next door, he really came alone. When we got to the Crocker Manor gate, the door opened on its own. casually grabbed the captain of a militia group standing guard and asked where little Crocker was, and after a little hesitation, he showed him the way.
At the door of the conference hall, there were many militiamen with loaded guns and ammunition. A group of people blocked the door but were very entangled and hesitated, Jason Morgan walked inside without saying a word, and the rifle crossed in front of the way, and he just pushed it away. As a result, no one from the militia came up to be rude to him.
Even after walking over, he turned his head again, and called out, in the name of the alliance, the captains of the gatekeepers looked at each other a few times, and really led someone to follow him into the conference hall.
When Crocker Jr. was arrested and dragged out, he still felt that Jason Morgan had premeditated, and in his manor, he had planted people in advance, and he was ready to do it at this time.
Heaven and earth conscience, Jason Morgan really didn't have any hands.
He heard the news, and then came, and then the militia all surrendered, what should I do?
Or, is there a possibility: from the beginning to the end, there are no people who are you, and these people at the beginning are all my people?
At this level, what else is there to do about the non-violent non-cooperative resistance movement and the bargaining capital with the coalition...... Almost.
Jason Morgan's evaluation of Crocker Jr. is that a young man who has taken over the assets of his predecessors, has great ambitions but no practical ability, and can only dream big dreams in the spring and autumn, which is seriously detached from reality.
Of course, Jason Morgan didn't kill Crocker Jr. either.
House arrest, incarceration, that's fine. If he is really guilty in the future, it will be tried by the League Court, and he will not do this job.
And in the conference hall, the so-called members of the other mutual aid associations also woke up like a dream when they watched little Crocker being dragged out by the people who should be supposed to be his cronies.
Those who were quite sober and thought that little Crocker was going crazy didn't say anything, and the other people who were really touched by Little Crocker's speech and didn't want to lose their wealth and initiative were really silent at this time.
Mutiny from the militia regiment...... No, it can't be said to be a mutiny, and from the beginning to the end, they have given priority to obeying the officials of the alliance even higher than obeying the members of the mutual aid association.
The armed forces are not obedient, so what is there to say?
Now, they can only rejoice that when little Crocker was talking nonsense just now, they didn't have time to follow the noise, Jason Morgan came, otherwise how embarrassing would it be now?
Fortunately, Jason Morgan didn't pursue this matter further.
He took advantage of the committee meeting convened by Crocker Jr., and incidentally fell on the issue of how to ensure the supply of materials needed by the coalition army, including the militia regiments that were assembled for unified deployment.
The Central Army, which went south, had a total of seven divisional and brigade-level units and more than 50,000 regular army soldiers; The militia regiment in the North Qinggu area will be assembled and will have a scale of about 150,000 people. The supply of supplies is a major problem, and it is necessary to plan supply teams, allocate vehicles, repair roads, and prepare supplies......
It's a matter of mind.
Jason Morgan no longer pays attention to the episode that Crocker Jr. made, and how to deal with the follow-up work is what he cares about the most.
The committee members spoke enthusiastically and offered their suggestions one after another. This one says how much food I can provide, and the other says how many workers I can mobilize to build roads; This one says that my manor can be used as a rallying point, and the other says that my manor is suitable as a distribution hub......
After their minds were clear, the committee members turned into activists one by one.
Mr. Morgan himself said, everyone should show the right way to be loyal.
So our current loyalty is quite absolute!
However, soon their 'loyalty' was once again tested.
A militia captain broke in from the outside.
He was a little hesitant to look at the situation at first, but Jason Morgan asked him to say something directly, so he told the situation directly.
It turned out that the patrol outside had sent back an alarm that a massive wave of aberrants was about to hit Crocker Manor.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, these monsters came at the right time.
The northern part of Aoya has been affected by the wave of aberrants relatively rarely, but not without it. The main habitat of this monster is the forest.
The dense wilderness, which spreads almost all over the Daqing Valley area, is accessible in all directions. And those mutated monsters, growing in the forest, growing in the forest, and also attacking everywhere through the forest.
In the Qinggu area, there is no difference between the rear and the front to deal with the infestation of the aberrant wave. As long as it's at the edge of the forest, or not too far from the forest, it's dangerous.
The Qinggu region is said to have a population of tens of millions, but in an area of more than 6 million square kilometers, such a small number of people...... It's really sparsely populated. Except for the plantations dotted and the roads that connect them, most of the rest of the area is basically wilderness, a place that humans are powerless to touch.
It's normal for a wave of aberrants to come out of nowhere.
In the conference hall, the committee members who had just been showing their loyalty one by one, and how loyal they were, were all silent.
Someone whispered, "Or...... Evacuate first? The defense strength of Crocker Manor is still good, but we can't help if we stay here, why don't we go back to our respective homes first, and the militia group will try to defend at Crocker Manor, and then work together to repel this wave? ”
Someone took the lead, and someone followed:
"Yes, yes, Mr. Morgan, you don't have to stand up here, let's withdraw first......"
Jason Morgan simply raised his hand: "Gentlemen, gentlemen. ”
After two consecutive sounds, everyone calmed down.
He continued: "We're not going anywhere today, we're here. Our work is not over yet, and Crocker Jr. has created an opportunity for us to gather such a full committee meeting, and we must take this opportunity to finalize the next few tasks. Otherwise, it will be a bit difficult to gather everyone so together next time. ”
After a pause, he continued: "As for the enemy we will face next...... We must fully trust the militia that we have assembled, and I have full confidence in the state of the defense of Crocker Manor. ”
"We will never leave our warriors alone in the face of the enemy, we must stand with them. This is also our way of showing our loyalty to the Governor, and I am sure that everyone is steadfast in it. ”
"Am I right?"
The crowd fell silent.
You want to die, why do you want to take us with you?
That's a wave of aberrants!
We've all heard the news that the captain came to report back just now!
At least more than 100,000 monsters are coming!
And how many militias are there at Crocker Manor? It is indeed the headquarters of the Mutual Aid Society, and there are two refugee camps in the vicinity, with a population of more than half a million in the vicinity. But despite this, the entire Beiqinggu area is still too large, and 100,000 militia are stationed in separate forces, and the number of militia in the vicinity is currently no more than 10,000. And the militia at Crocker Manor is no more than five thousand!
To face the wave of 100,000 aberrants, it is difficult to stop it even if there is a wall!
Generally speaking, in this case, let the militia hold out, then evacuate the people, and then constantly mobilize forces from the surrounding area to deal with it.
If you can't hold it...... How many people can be evacuated, give up here, give up.
What else can I do?
Why did Jason Morgan go crazy and stay here?
Morgan didn't bother to explain it to them.
Crocker Manor, along with the two surrounding refugee camps, has a combined population of 500,000 people, making it a densely populated area in the North Qinggu area. Evacuation and evacuation of personnel are easy to say, what is the concept of 500,000 people, where is it simple to evacuate?
These people are cowards.
The current militia group, can it be the same as their old concept? After receiving military aid from the Alliance, the firepower was already much stronger than the armed forces they had formed themselves.
There's no need to worry too much.
He continued to preside over the meetings and organize the work.
This work meeting will not last for a short time, and it cannot be completed in a few hours. In the evening, everyone went to rest with a heavy heart, and it is estimated that it will continue to open the next day.
It takes two or three days to settle the whole thing.
By the next morning, however, things were starting to go wrong.
After a morning's hard work, the defense line in front lost two in a row.
This even forced Jason Morgan to temporarily suspend the committee meeting and let the members discuss it themselves, while he pulled a military observer from the army who had just arrived last night to discuss the situation at the front.
It stands to reason that it shouldn't be so easy to penetrate.
However, the military observer's explanation made Jason Morgan, a semi-military blind, understand a little bit about the seriousness of today's situation.
“…… This cluster of aberrants cannot be viewed with the previous scattered eyes. In addition to their large numbers, there are many advanced variants among them. ”
"If it's just a normal abscess monster, it's easy to deal with; But the number of abscess ejectors among them is very large, and there is a super heavy monster with a body of more than three meters tall and the lower body wriggling like a rotting worm, its positioning is like a biological artillery, the firing distance is more than ten kilometers, and the frontal bombardment will bring extremely corrosiveness, even if it does not corrode the dead, the bombed place will not be able to stand for the time being, which has a great impact on our defense line. ”
"There is also a large biochemical hound with a body length of more than one and a half meters, which is very fast and spits corrosive pus from its mouth, which is very difficult for the militia to fight in close combat."
After hearing this, Jason Morgan had a headache.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to the front line." ”
"Okay." Military observers took him to the front.
Of course, it was the front line, but it was not too close, and he saw the tragic situation with a telescope about two kilometers away from the third front where there was about a firefight.
In half an hour, at least three hundred militiamen were killed or wounded.
Obviously, this line of defense cannot be carried out.
Jason Morgan couldn't go any further, and was pulled into the car by the military observer and ran backwards.
It didn't stop until it ran to the fourth line of defense.
It was the last line of defense outside of Crocker Manor, consisting of trenches, foxholes, and small fortresses made of sandbags. Further back, there is the manor wall.
Morgan is in a heavy mood right now.
Damn, it's not like you're just blowing, and you're really going to have a big wave, right?
