Abyss Express

Chapter 77⑩·Autumn Fairy Tale

Foreword:

History moves in contradiction.

——Nikolai Bukharin

"This survival knife is made in Yangjiang and costs 40 yuan a piece." Captain Liu Zhicheng took the high ground and said to Sergeant Maguire: "The original product costs more than 700 yuan, and the workmanship of the scabbard and carrying buckle are not that fake. Good goods.”

Maguire asked doubtfully: "Made in Yangjiang?"

"It's just like all the weird fake military products in the voluntary commodity market, but this knife -" Liu Zhicheng said, using the knife to cut off a piece of raw beef, digging mustard greens from the can, finishing the basic deworming and putting it into his mouth , he said vaguely: "——Compared to the original 420 stainless steel, its hardness is also 59HRC, not much different."

"You must explain clearly where the money went?"

Liu Zhicheng smiled and pulled out another drop-shaped stabbing knife from his waist.

"The coating of the original product is much better-looking, there is no greasy sheen, and the cutting edge is better than the one made in Yangjiang."

"As a basic tool, our soldiers are extremely capable and can save more than 600 yuan in military expenses."

Maguire took a closer look and saw that there was really not much difference between the two knives. Except for the difference between glossy and matte in the matte coating of the blade, the feel for cutting beef was the same, the same silky smoothness.

"Then where will the money saved be used?" Dr. Maguire had just arrived at the battlefield and did not understand the difficulties of the organization department. "Could it be embezzled by the quartermaster?"

"Hey! That's a good question." Army Commander Liu Zhicheng was about to explain in detail, but a sharp whistle sounded in the distance.

The veteran immediately alerted himself, jumped over the explosion-proof wall of the bunker, and jumped next to the SA-75 missile launcher.

At the same time, Maguire also saw two targets appearing in the sky, which were blood-giving monsters flying out from Moonshade City!

The Kuai Dao Combined Brigade has arrived at the second city on the Tonghe Branch, which is also the transportation hub from Maling Township to Efei County. Under the command of Ke Shuai, the Canglang team led by Army Commander Liu Zhicheng is going to lay siege to this city. Strike - just now, these two blood-giving monsters were obviously enemy cadres whose will to fight had collapsed. They were taking advantage of the darkness to prepare to escape by relying on their ability to fly.

Friends who often launch missiles must know that the launch procedure of the SA-75 is actually very simple.

"Open the antenna. High or low is good."

The signal broadcast from the radar truck came from the workbench.

"The location is good and the distance is good."

Flame tails erupted, kerosene engines roared, and medium-range surface-to-air missiles flew out.

Its high-altitude killing radius is 250 meters. For these two blood-giving monsters, in the concept of weapons of "immortal cultivators", this is a magical weapon that can destroy mountains and blow up rivers. It is beyond cognition. A killer weapon with a wide range.

In addition to the tracking and locking of the radar vehicle of the information corps company, the "Knife Rest" indicator tracking guidance radar equipped with the SA-75 also has a range of 65 kilometers. It can cooperate with two-point ranging to improve the shooting accuracy of the missile. .

A ball of hot spherical flame exploded in the sky, and the accompanying drone had been observing the posture of the projectile. Just before it hit the airspace of the blood-giving unit, these observation units turned and dispersed like frightened fairies.

The hot air from the flames lifted Maguire's hair, and he looked at this scene in disbelief.

Not long ago, when he was fighting to the death with the devil St. Josh - Lao Ma was still worried and secretly worried that the remnants of the war gang in Mimir Hot Spring Market had such powerful energy that the enemies of Shambhala would only More ferocious.

This missile from more than seventy years ago not only shattered the blood-giving monster, but also shattered all Maguire Copenhagen's worries - in this era, humans are stronger.

The fireball completely engulfed the two unknown creatures flying together. Almost instantly, they turned into powder in the fireworks without even a drop of blood leaking out. Along with the warm monsoon wind and the surging flames, they floated to the west of the Copper River. Further south are the mountains.

"You want to ask where the money went?" Liu Zhicheng was so excited that he almost fell down when he climbed down from the missile vehicle. This veteran was almost sixty years old, and his body functions had seriously deteriorated, and he was no longer as brave as he was when he was young. Good at fighting.

"Ouch! Don't don't! Don't"

The old uncle staggered a few steps and finally gained a foothold in front of the blast wall.

"Don't help me, I can do it! I can do it! Hey!~"

Liu Zhicheng said this——

——He put his arm around Maguire's shoulders and pointed to the remains of fireworks in the sky.

“All the money saved is spent here!”

The story of autumn is like a fairy tale. The morale of the proud and virtuous expeditionary force is high. From top to bottom, each of these soldiers is full of hope and courage.

I never believe that there is a devil that cannot be destroyed.

Never believe that there is an enemy that cannot be defeated.

Never believe there is an impossible task.

Just a moment of rest during the war, a little time to take a break, and occasionally show his soft side.

In addition to Liu Zhicheng's Canglang regiment, Team 7 also stayed in Yueyin City. As the last team, they had to say goodbye to the reporters accompanying the army.

Ms. Yunqing has made such a big circle and finally came to the front line from the Sun Newspaper. After leaving the gossip about elites and powerful people, she still has a lot of battlefield news to write - or maybe this kind of story is what needs to be conveyed most. , what needs to be told the most.

She put on a PEX (Powered exoskeleton) exoskeleton to support part of the armor. It was almost the highest-standard heavy armor configuration for the elite soldiers of the Kuaishou Synthetic Brigade. Even though more than two months had passed, she still could not adapt to this equipment. He staggered to the camp, ready to say goodbye to the young soldiers of Class 7.

She wants to follow the large army to go deeper into the Axe Mountains. Operation Wenque has ended. Just like the code name of this mission, it is a petty theft and a shady attempt - to let the sharp knife cross the Maling and move toward Danqiu. A fatal sword was delivered to the heart of the country.

This reporter did not back down. She originally wanted to stay at the Black Wind Ridge War Command Center, but how many times in her life would she have this opportunity?

Now that she has crossed Maling Fortress, she will never be deterred by death.

"Sister!" Master Chief Hitchcock immediately took off his military cap when he saw Ms. Yun Qing. His face was covered with camouflage made of marl and grass leaves, and he couldn't see his face. He asked excitedly: "I'm still taking pictures today. ?"

Yun Qing opened the endurance plate shield of the heavy armor again and again, but she couldn't open it or hang it up. She smiled awkwardly and responded hastily: "Shoot! Of course I'll snap! I'm leaving! Shoot more." A few copies! Send them back to the newspaper! Have you sent one to your family?”

Hitchcock quickly wiped his hands, found his backpack from the corner of the barracks, and took out a stack of paper letters - there was only a military communication intranet in Shambhala, and the phone could not be made. The only way to convey private messages was the summons bell. Paper letters are the most convenient.

Moreover, most of the parents of the Seventh Squadron soldiers are not psykers - most of them are "Mudbloods" in the eyes of Magician Balazon, and Master Chief Hitchcock's few None of my relatives could understand the ringtone.

Yun Qing was a bit older than these young soldiers. When all twelve members of the seventh squad gathered at the door of the barracks, they washed their faces and wanted to leave the best energy to their families.

Yunqing opened her arms from left to right, holding a digital camera in one hand and a card machine in the other, keeping both electronic files and physical films.

As she was patting, she felt a little guy next to her seemed to be fiddling with her hair——

——That’s a girl in her early twenties, who is also the messenger of Class Seven.

"Sister, your visor buckle is broken, let me repair it for you." The sister who sent the message said, "How did you do it? This heavy armor is very strong."

Only then did Yun Qing remember the reason why the helmet buckle broke——

——While marching with the army to the periphery of Maling Township and conducting a preliminary reconnaissance and harassment mission, she followed a sniper from the reconnaissance team on a 16-kilometer mountain road. During the mission, she was discovered by the enemy, and the artillery shells shattered her armor. , causing her to fall into coma and become seriously injured and on the verge of death.

The sniper carried the reporter back, which was one of the few times she was injured.

"It's all little things! Little things!"

Yun Qing replied without hesitation and continued to press the shutter.

At this time, the team leader of Class 6 came to the camp of Class 7——

"——Give us a pat too! Commander!"

The sergeant major of Class 6 joked that he called Yun Qing the commander.

"Our team has just received an order. There is movement in Yueyin City. The enemy's elite soldiers are rioting and seem to be trying to escape. It's a good time to take the initiative to attack! Commander!"

Yun Qing was surrounded by soldiers from Class 7, and she quickly responded: "I have to leave too! Hey! We don't have much time, right? Class 7 hasn't finished filming yet! Come one by one!"

The sergeant major of Class 6 also took off his military cap, and the nearly two-meter-tall man suddenly squatted down.

He shook his hands, lowered his posture, his thick eyebrows and big eyes showed grievance, and all his hopes were written on his face.

"Commander, I'm not afraid of you leaving."

"I'm not afraid. There are eighteen people in Class Six."

"If you want to go with the mobile company and the armored vehicle, we will definitely feel at ease."

"It's just"

The Master Chief began to choke as he spoke, always talking about sad places.

"There is a mission tonight, there is a mission tonight."

"Can you stay in the position a little longer, I beg you?"

"I'm afraid that my comrades will be sad and not be able to say goodbye to their families properly."

It was like a highly contagious disease. Almost instantly, every soldier left behind in Yueyin City was filled with determination. This fighting will comes from the other side of the sea, from various complex, simple, full and passionate feelings, or from innocent and romantic love.

The tools Judas used to spur his subordinates were the temptation of money or power, fear and fanatical superstition——

——It is vulnerable to the determination of Anonymous.

The ice at Lingyang Ferry gradually melted.

The passenger ship fell back into the water again and began to sail slowly.

This is Judas's negotiation strategy, to continue to put pressure on Su Xingchen through an unfamiliar environment——

——Abacus vulva move in the diplomatic negotiation scene.

To give an example, Su Xingchen is in a very good state of energy, just like an opponent with full health and mana.

When he first came to Lingyang Ferry, he didn't feel the pressure of survival at all, and he wouldn't make mistakes because of the pressure. So now Judas is going to add some survival pressure to this little dwarf.

The passenger ship will take them to continue driving slowly upstream of the Copper River, just like getting into a kidnapper's black car. Without transportation, they will not be able to freely return to the area where Kuai Dao is, and they will definitely feel pressure.

The night was getting darker and darker, and Su Xingchen also sensed the changes in the frozen river - he had already smoked sixteen cigarettes, his mind was spinning faster than a Honda red-head engine, and he immediately saw through this extraneous trick.

The forty-five minutes are up, and the second round of consultations begins as scheduled.

On the other side of the Chaos Egg, Judas's mental state is very bad - he hopes that he can focus on production and military aspects. However, in order to buy time for the Cauldron of Dagda, he would never dare to entrust all negotiations to his subordinates.

He is too ambitious and has to do everything by himself. It is difficult to trust these chess pieces who are only interested in profit and are bound by fear and power.

"Mr. Su Xingchen, I'm ready"

The words haven’t been finished yet——

——Xingchen's eyes were like fire, and he interrupted Judas rudely.

"I need a moment, Mr. Judah, I'm so sorry."

Judas did not expect at all that the negotiation materials he had prepared in a hurry seemed to be of no use. He had just negotiated prices with the landowners and lords from the four southeastern cities and those bordering the Maling Township fortress, and notified all the ministries level by level to prepare for the retreat. The county's consciousness persuaded these subordinates to unite to resist foreign enemies, and someone would have to sacrifice.

But Su Xingchen flinched. He seemed about to throw a punch, but suddenly took a few steps away.

"I have a lot of things that I need to discuss with the regiment headquarters again. Can you give me another forty-five minutes?"

Judas was stunned, and he immediately became angry——

"——You broke the contract?!"

Su Xingchen: "This is just a verbal agreement. Besides, now that I feel the threat of death, what does it mean to temporarily change the negotiation location? Mr. Judah?"

Judas didn’t understand Su Xingchen’s intention, delay for another forty-five minutes? What's the point?

This ship will take them farther and farther. Does this kid still want to go sightseeing on the ship? Want to travel around the Tonghe River in Danqiu Kingdom?

Maybe this is a good thing too.

"If I had another forty-five minutes, I could still collect more chips." Judas murmured in a low voice and threw the Chaos Egg aside: "As long as it can buy time, it is also a good thing to give up some useless cities."

Su Xingchen: "What do you think? Mr. Judah? I still need forty-five minutes."

Judas responded, "Okay."

Another forty-five minutes passed, and this delicate period of time made Judas a little irritable.

What can you do with so little time? Select the Chaos Egg corresponding to the town, talk to the lords, and explain your purpose. Then he suspended the task and asked the lord to summon the local cabinet elders and gentry, mobilize the military leaders and officials in the county and town, and then make a unified statement and centralize the power. In the end, it turned into an ambiguous answer, and slowly Communicate and slowly make this answer clear.

The negotiation process is boring, simple, and even full of gunpowder.

Judah must give enough benefits to calculate with the lords the population value of each territory, the value of resources, short-term settlement of silver dollar certificates, and long-term supply of human flesh. With these things as support, the Emmanuel Buddha can teach The public is brought to the negotiation table as bargaining chips.

We came to the ship building led by Yu Datong again.

Su Xingchen said: "I still need forty-five minutes."

"What are you doing?!" Judas was already starting to freak out: "What the hell are you doing?! Representative Su Xingchen! What on earth do you want to say?"

Su Xingchen smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I really need forty-five more minutes. I promise, this is the last time - I just received a letter from the war situation center, and I entrusted Ye Bei to help translate the ringtone. You mean, I need to organize materials and take notes.”

"What's the result?" Su Xingchen pointed at Mr. Ye Bei's nose and cursed, "This idiot only half-understood what he heard and messed up several important data. I really have no choice."

Ye Bei was confused: "Huh?"

Su Xingchen: "There is really no way."

Ye Bei: "It's really my fault that there's nothing I can do about it."

Judas cursed: "You people from Tianshu are too amateur! Are these the reinforcements Aohen Mingde invited?! I'm going to question your sincerity in negotiations! Representative Su Xingchen!"

"So can you give me another forty-five minutes? Mr. Judah?" Su Xingchen said in a sincere tone.

Judas hesitated again and again. He was like a clumsy boxer with a bloated body and panting in the ring, almost falling into the rhythm of his opponent. The missed appointments again and again filled his heart with resentment and hatred. These emotions could not help at all. It will only hinder his mind and make him more and more sluggish.

"You only have fifteen minutes." Judas chose a compromise plan.

Su Xingchen: "It must be forty-five minutes."

Judas: "Enough! This is not a vegetable market!"

Su Xingchen still calmly repeated: "It must take forty-five minutes."

Judas suppressed the feeling of nausea and vomiting: "Twenty minutes."

Su Xingchen emphasized the correction: "Forty-five minutes, it will be forty-five minutes when God comes."

Judas gritted his teeth: "Twenty-five minutes at most."

Su Xingchen glanced at his watch: "Very good, one minute has passed, and there are still forty-four minutes left."

In terms of manipulating people’s mentality, Star Operator is Tianshu’s top role——

——What on earth is he waiting for? Is it really just a "forty-five minutes" buffer time?

In fact, the answer was already written on Judas’ face.

At this moment, Judas fell into a state of control and jumped in anger in the main hall of the Buddhist temple.

In these two hours or so, he used the Chaos Egg to make hundreds of phone calls, recording the names of more than 140 people in six major cities, and calculating the basic statistics of each lord, at least to a rough calculation. A satisfactory amount.

How he longed to have a modern computer at hand and a complete electronic system archive for personnel scheduling and transaction management.

"Mr. Judah, don't you have any electronic equipment?" Su Xingchen pointed to the point: "My tablet is still from 2018. It will definitely be slower when used for office work. Tianshu has no intention of updating the equipment for me. We are poor and have no choice. This war has almost exhausted the manpower and material resources of Tianshu and the Ministry of Railways.”

Judas was suddenly stunned, and was struck dumb and sluggish by the mental punch——

——His brain stopped for a while, and he couldn't even understand what Su Xingchen was talking about.

It seems to be speaking Chinese, but I can't understand it.

Su Xingchen: "So I need forty-five minutes."

Judas' mind automatically blocked the previous lines——

——He temporarily regained his composure, but began to be afraid of this loss of control. He needed to rest.

"good."

But can things really be that simple?

Judas temporarily suspended the task of negotiation and came to the incense stand in the main hall again. The chirping Chaos Eggs in front of him began to have a psychic riot. They were all inquiries and requests sent back from various places——

——Trading requires continuous attention and feedback.

This is like a trader who has negotiated several deals, but the buyer wants the trader to suspend the task temporarily, and the seller also needs a clear answer.

During these forty-five minutes, Judas had no time to rest at all. He had to reply one by one, explain the situation to each of his subordinates whose interests were linked, and appease these people who were about to lose their territory and power.

The negotiation time that Su Xingchen told Judah was like a simple and ridiculous lie that never seemed to come true——

— Like a vicious and terrifying curse, this impression of association would damage Judas’ credibility.

Originally, the city lord of Yueyin City had made an agreement with Judah to complete the transfer of power an hour and a half ago. The city was already being targeted by a sharp knife, but Judah was still hesitant.

For the Lord of Yueyin City, Lingguang Buddha repeatedly postponed the decision-making time, which was a joke on his life.

The big landowner didn't know what to do. Should he open the city gate to welcome the enemy's army? Or stand up and fight to the end? This kind of high pressure from top to bottom is also a kind of mental torture for the soldiers and defenders of Yueyin City.

The "last forty-five minutes" finally arrived as scheduled.

The summons bell also rang. Su Xingchen, with a happy face, took Ye Bei's hand. The two were extremely close and walked in with a smile.

Ye Bei gently hit the Star Operator's back and whispered: "You are so dirty!~I like it so much!~"

Su Xingchen ignored it and shouted to the Chaos Egg seriously: "Mr. Judah, let's negotiate!"

Chaos Egg didn't reply immediately, Judas seemed busy.

su The area is pushed eighty kilometers to your side.”

Judas' weak response came from the round flesh ball.

He didn't even receive news of the fall of Moon Shadow City, nor did he receive any new calls——

"--I see."
