Chapter 413 Negotiation
Unlike Russia, which is vast and sparsely populated, even after the war, the population in China was much larger than that of Russians. Once the Kuroshio tide entered China, the consequences would be devastating.
The importance of the Hellens line of defense is self-evident.
Naturally, the alliance also knew this. A large number of personnel and materials were rapidly gathering for the Herrons line of defense, completely intending to build Herrons into an Asian Maginot line of defense.
The alliance not only built a high wall at the mouth of the gourd, but also dug underground tunnels extending in all directions under the Herrons line of defense. Mobile troops can use the underground passages to detour to the rear and flanks of the Kuroshio at any time to carry out containment attacks. .
The Maginot Line of Defense has been built by the French for more than ten years and has yet to be fully completed. However, with the power of modern industrial technology, the Herons Line of Defense has been roughly completed in less than a week.
The Herons power station has also been expanded, and the installed capacity of the generator sets has been expanded by four times compared to the original one, which is used as the main power supply hub for the entire Herons defense line.
As for the original small town of Herrons, it has now become a huge military camp, where nearly 100,000 elite troops have gathered—influenced by the opening of the third stage of the game world, the alliance is still at this time. It is very rare to be able to recruit such soldiers.
Not long after the convoy entered the Herrons defense line, Qi Lin saw Cheng Yanqiu and Hans who hurried over after his resurrection.
As one of the members of the consortium alliance, Cheng's consortium naturally also received a coordinated defense order issued by the alliance-according to the urgency of the senior members of the Cheng's consortium, such a position as the commander of the defense force that can hold military power must be It's a steal, but Cheng Yanqiu only used a little bit of tricks, so the board of directors had to "accept orders in danger" to him.
This little trick is very simple. Cheng Yanqiu just intercepted a small part of the battle video when the Kuroshio siege of outpost 147 and "shared" it with his cousins. On the woman's belly, the young masters who are proficient in various "combat postures" but can't even maintain their guns were frightened instantly, and refused to take the position of commander. One of them, in order to avoid the arrangement of the family, even He even broke his leg.
Since the opening of the third stage of the wasteland world, this world is no longer just a virtual game like it was back then. No matter how many resource points and gold you have, there are only three chances of resurrection. Purchased additional revives.
Moreover, in the past, even if these young masters squandered their resurrection times, forgot to buy them for a while, were eliminated by the game, and were canceled by the mastermind, with the power of their family, his life in the real world is still They can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, but now, as long as the number of resurrections is used up, they will not even have the chance to wake up from the game cabin, and their consciousness will be directly obliterated in the virtual world among.
In fact, they are the group of people who are most dissatisfied with the opening of the third stage of the game world.
However, the command of the mastermind is difficult to disobey even the entire consortium alliance, let alone them-now, as soon as they enter the game every day, they only shrink in the safest main city and fortress, with no one around them. I have to bring a large group of bodyguards with me all the time, and even the "daily activities" that used to go to the wilderness to "have fun" have been greatly reduced.
The senior executives of Cheng's consortium were very embarrassed. Although they didn't like to see Cheng Yanqiu sitting in this position, the only person who could sit in this position was Cheng Yanqiu—unless a certain director was willing to condescend, Going to the front line to fight the parasites in person - of course, that is completely impossible.
When the Cheng family came to Cheng Yanqiu's generation, among dozens of family members of the younger generation, Cheng Yanqiu was the only one who could be said to be outstanding among their peers.
Of course, there is no shortage of young talents in the huge Cheng family consortium, but according to the family's regulations, any armed forces with more than 3,000 people must have the surname of Cheng as their immediate supreme commander, and there must be Cheng in their veins. The bloodline of the family, like Ning Han, can manage the development of an area, but it is absolutely impossible to control the military power.
"How many people did you bring here this time?" Qi Lin glanced at Cheng Yanqiu and asked.
"Six thousand people, including a full mechanized infantry regiment, an assault armored battalion equipped with 300 sets of various advanced types of power armor, an artillery battalion, plus 20 tanks, 65 armored vehicles, three Ten self-propelled guns."
"So many?! Is this already the property of Cheng's consortium? Those who oppose you in the board of directors will really hand over so many troops to you?" Qi Lin was a little surprised. As he expected, Cheng Yanqiu's ability to bring out two or three thousand ordinary infantry is already considered good, and heavy equipment is absolutely impossible.
"Of course they won't." Cheng Yanqiu smiled slyly, "According to the report document obtained by the board of directors, the troops I brought out consisted of only 2,000 motorized infantry, fifty old-fashioned power armors that were about to be scrapped, two tanks and three Just ten off-road vehicles~”
"Didn't they find out?"
"Not for the time being. Now, I guess the matter of the 'Dirty Hand Party' is enough for them to worry about. How about checking the number of troops I have mobilized?" Cheng Yanqiu said with a smile.
"Dirty hands? Have you found out what's tricky inside?" Qi Lin was suddenly stunned.
"Basically, with the power of the 'organization', I have checked the details of the dirty hand party. Although my uncles and uncles are not directly related to the dirty hand party, but a fund under my uncle's name However, for two consecutive years, every month, a large amount of money will be transferred to the account of a leader of the dirty hands, in the name of 'rescue and medical assistance for patients with severe radiation sickness in slums'."
"It seems that your uncle is in big trouble." Qi Lin nodded. It's fine if you don't find out about this kind of thing.
"This matter may not be able to pull the old man out of the director's position, but it is almost shaky. In addition, even if they can resolve this matter in the end, their faction will inevitably be hurt. Said It is thanks to you that you brought out the line of dirty hands, otherwise, I guess I would have to spend a lot of effort to deal with them."
"You don't need to thank me, just give me a 30% discount on the current price of the batch of materials you transport to the City of Steel every month, hehe." Qi Lin stretched out his right index finger and thumb, and rubbed them skillfully. Moved a bit.
"50% off, I can provide you with materials at the cost price, but I need more soldiers, you have to open a recruitment window for me in the city of steel, of course, I will recruit on your territory on a completely voluntary basis Soldiers, there will be no such thing as forced recruitment."
Regarding Cheng Yanqiu's proposal, Qi Lin thought about it for a while - now the value of the materials exported by the Cheng's consortium to the City of Steel every month has reached more than 100,000 resource points, 50% off, that is, 50,000 resource points per month point difference.
As for recruiting soldiers... To be honest, in the City of Steel, there is absolutely no need for the Mutual Aid Society to expand its troops, and Qi Lin can't afford to support so many soldiers. If some of the surplus soldiers can be exchanged for resource points , seems to be a good deal.
