Castle of Black Iron
Chapter 253: Coming to Karur
In the afternoon, Zhang Tiecai followed this team of theater scavengers to the actual control area of Karur City.
It's a bit ironic to say that when Zhang Tie first came to the Karur war zone, he was an imperial officer, but he left the war zone without even seeing Karur City. For a long time, he became a shameless figure.
What he saw along the road from the abandoned town of Fogg to the current actual control area of Karur City gave Zhang Tie a more intuitive view of the war between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire. Experience.
On this road, the closer to the actual control area of Karur City, the more serious the confrontation between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire. It only needs to surround the strongholds and fortresses built by Karur from both sides. , And on the fortifications, we know that the battle between the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire in the Karur area with hundreds of thousands of legions is destined to be a protracted battle, and until this time, from the pile of scavengers From the mouth of the reader, combined with what he had seen and heard in the army these days, Zhang Tiecai fully understood what the situation in the Karur area was.
In addition to the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire, in the entire Karur region, the city of machines that has a say in this war is Karur, the former manufacturing center of the Andaman Alliance, which also triggered this The piece of warfare that was contested by tigers and hungry wolves.
In the eyes of the Sun God Dynasty and the Norman Empire, the reason why fat can become fat is because it has the qualifications and oil and water to become fat. Compared with a new city like Heiyan City with a history of only a few decades, the development history of the city of machines for more than two hundred years has accumulated a solid foundation for the city. This kind of foundation is reflected in the city. In all aspects of the city-whether it is the city's population, prosperity, manufacturing strength, military equipment, and the city's actual radiation and control area, these indicators of Karur are among the best in the entire Andaman League.
Up to this moment, Karur still has a regular army of nearly 80,000 people. The regular army of Karur, together with the tall walls of Karur City, and the horrible city defense weapons that have been operating for more than two hundred years, Such a force still plays a pivotal role in the entire current theater, and has the ability to influence the outcome of this war.
The first time he came to the actual control area of Karur City, Zhang Tie was shocked by the prosperity displayed by Karur City. Looking around, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, he has not seen the walls of Karur City. Zhang Tie’s eyes have been concealed by huge chimneys that are as dense as a forest. Those chimneys originate from various factories in the area controlled by Karur. These factories have been connected into large industrial areas, among many factories, There are also air traffic tracks and various large and small pipelines. In the winter sun, the black smoke from the chimneys almost dyes the entire sky gray and black, under the thick smoke The factory, at this time, is still producing all kinds of things in full swing, and there is no sign of depression at all.
Compared with the factories in the controlled area outside Karur City, the factories in Heiyan City, perhaps the steel mills are still a little larger, and the others are simply as simple as the small workshops of the country's rich.
And this is just a corner that Zhang Tie saw in the north of the area controlled by Karur City.
The smoke from a factory chimney makes people look like pollution, while the smoke from hundreds of tall chimneys makes people look at it, and it definitely feels like you are very small.
Here, Zhang Tie felt the power brought by the development of human industry for the first time.
The factory is in full swing, and outside the factory, the influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from around Karur brought about by the war has made the whole area seem a little chaotic.
Walking on the street, you can see the rags and haggard refugees standing in long lines outside the recruitment points of the factories. More men and women are holding signs on the side of the road. The signs are usually as follows Content:
——I am a tailor and I used to work for food.
In those slightly empty places on the side of the road, tents for refugees were erected everywhere. In many of the tents, children’s cries were heard, and on some clean walls on the side of the road that were slightly more conspicuous, Papers and photos looking for relatives are everywhere.
Because it was the first time here, in order not to show his feet, Zhang Tie followed the line of those war zone scavengers in line with the principle of saying less, saying more. After the team had come to the control area of Carrule City, Fred, the leader of the team, was relieved to put away the blue and green flag he was holding.
On the way along the way, Zhang Tie heard various legends. In the past few months, many teams of theater scavengers have never returned since they entered that theater. Some theater scavengers did send After gaining money, some belongings that others were too late to take were found somewhere in those abandoned towns and villages, and some valuable trophies were even found in places where there were signs of war between the two sides, such as sophisticated weapons or Some corpses carried gold coins or something, but some hapless guys took their lives in.
It may be exciting to search for property in the deserted villages and towns around Karur City, but this excitement is also a matter of life. This business that came into being because of the war, for ordinary people, What I really did was lick blood with the knife head.
...
"Have you seen my daughter? My daughter's name is Selena. This is her photo. She said she was going to school this morning, but she hasn't come back yet..."
...
"Have you seen my daughter? My daughter's name is Selena. This is her photo. She said she was going to school this morning, but she hasn't come back yet..."
On the side of the road, a woman in her fifties was holding a photo of a woman. Every time someone passed by her was pulled by her to ask. The same question, but although the woman’s mouth was asking, her eyes were Has become empty like no soul.
Zhang Tie followed her and walked past her silently.
"This woman is crazy. She came from the south. The situation in the north is better. I heard that in some places in the south, the beasts of the sun **** raped women when they saw them, from a few years old to 50 or 60. The year-old old lady didn’t let it go. The men over there had their heads chopped off after a little resistance, and many others were arrested to work, repair roads, move things..." Jerry walking beside Zhang Tie sighed. Said in one breath. "The refugee wave in Karur started from the south. When I heard the news from the south, the people from the north also ran away. Everyone wanted to go to Karur to seek asylum. Where did you know the refugees in Karur? Once more, everyone’s lives are gone..."
Zhang Tie was silent, and felt another touch in his heart. This is the cruel side of war. A war will do the most damage to ordinary people caught in the war. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people in two countries. Fighting a battle can cause such a disaster. If a jihad breaks out in the future, what will be the tragic situation at that time.
...
Less than twenty minutes after entering the control zone of Karur, Zhang Tie followed these war zone scavengers to their camp. Their camp was in the garbage dump behind a factory area. The garbage dump is very large and the underground is all dark. Although it is a garbage dump, because the dumping here is all wastes such as coal gangue, the environment here is not absolutely unacceptable.
Garbage like coal gangue, which has been in Karur for more than a hundred years, is piled up here, and you can imagine what it is like here.
In this garbage dump piled with coal gangue, thousands of tents, large and small, are densely packed. At least ten or twenty thousand people live here. Even when Zhang Tie came here with the team, those who pulled the gangue The steam trucks were still dumping garbage here. As soon as those trucks arrived, a lot of children began to run with the trucks, ignoring the possible dangers, waiting until the combustion efficiency on the trucks was too low to be used. When the coal gangue was dumped out, the pile of children rushed up, holding small buckets and baskets and the like, and began to dig up the few reusable coals contained in the gangue.
The whole refugee camp was dusty everywhere, cars ransacking, and men, women, old and young were all crowded together, chaotic like a pot of porridge.
"Fred, what good things have you brought this time..." Soon after the group entered the tent area, an old man in his 60s greeted him.
"The harvest is average. It's just that I arrived in Fogg Town today. I got a little winter stuff and some tableware. You can give a fair price..."
"For winter things, many people don't know how to make it through this winter now! These things came in time!" The 60-something old man looked at the things carried by everyone and nodded. "You come with me..."
Zhang Tie also followed the others to the old man’s tent. Zhang Tie was also carrying a few bundles of dusty quilts from the town of Foge. Zhang Tie at this time, except for the original ones. In addition to the harvest, he also had a half-new, not well-matched faux fur coat, which also looked like a refugee. Seeing him following in the team, the old man just glanced at him and didn’t Paying attention to him.
A group of people followed the old man to a tent. The tent was very large and surrounded by many things. There were also a few strong men who looked like thugs patrolling here. It seemed to be one of the tent areas. Small center.
In front of something like a bulletin board on the road next to this tent, many people were gathering there. When passing by the bulletin board, Zhang Tie saw the heads of him and Major Franka. They were two wanted copies. Ling, under the two wanted orders, although there are some other wanted orders, because the bonuses on these two wanted orders are the highest, the wanted orders of Zhang Tie and Major Franka were put on At the top, the bonus for both people is 3000 gold coins.
At a glance, the contents of the two wanted warrants came to Zhang Tie's mind.
Zhang Tie's heart was shocked. It was not too strange to see the wanted order of the Norman Empire in the refugee camp near the control area of the Norman Empire in Karur. The current place, except for the absence of war. Besides, it is basically the gathering place of the three religions and the nine generations. It is not surprising to see the wanted order of the Norman Empire. What makes Zhang Tie really strange is that Major Franka is also wanted? Major Franka was wanted in the Northern Xinjiang Military District of the Empire, and he was wanted by the Empire’s Order Review Committee. The two arrest warrants were both for murder, which gave Zhang Tieweipin a special taste. For the sake of himself and Major Franka, the big men above seemed to be engaged in this matter.
This is good news for Zhang Tie. At least, the heart that Zhang Tie originally dangled for the family of Heiyancheng suddenly fell into his stomach. It is covered by the Northern Xinjiang Military Region. If something happens in your own home and some moths are made by the secret police, isn't it naked to draw the faces of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region and the Iron Horn Army?
Because age and appearance seem to be far from the image on the wanted order, no one suspects that the man like a scavenger at this moment is actually the guy on the wanted order worth 3,000 gold coins.
...
Some things brought by Zhang Tie eventually brought him four silver coins and 37 copper coins.
Everyone in the team has a harvest. According to the rules, everyone has to hand in 30% of their harvest to Fred as a protection fee. After handing in 30% of their income today, this team scavengers Fred's boss, Fred, looked at Zhang Tie's eyes softer.
"Well, I think you are brave enough, join us, and everyone will do it together in the future!" Fred used the enthusiasm and tone of "creating a great cause together" to invite Zhang Tie to join...
...
Of course, Zhang Tie would not do such a "promising career" here. After using the excuse of looking for a stable job in the factory to decline Fred's "invitation", Zhang Tie touched the only thing in his pocket. Some silver coins and a pile of clinking coppers left this refugee camp.
Although the power of the secret police of the Norman Empire still does not extend within the control area of Carroll City, this does not mean that he is safe at the moment. The temptation of 3,000 gold coins is enough to make many people take risks. , The wanted warrant in the refugee camp is the best illustration. Under the reward, there must be brave men. If they are caught by others, those people will definitely be able to send themselves out of the Karur war zone, which is just over 100 kilometers away. Distance, the sun **** can come over such a big airship, let alone one person, how difficult is this?
Zhang Tie was thinking while walking on the street. Similarly, even if he did not appear on the military's wanted order, the troops would definitely not be able to go back, because he would not be able to explain the causes and consequences of the conflict with the secret police. , Such a big thing can't be fooled by thunder. So, how can I return to Black Flame City and find a way to get in touch with my parents?
Zhang Tie thought while walking. He didn't know how long he had been walking. When a building on the street appeared in Zhang Tie's sight, Zhang Tie was shocked.
Above the main entrance of that building, there is a mighty and huge four-winged Jinpeng relief...
By the way, Fortune Wings Bank!
Thinking of the all-encompassing services provided by this bank that he saw last time at Jinpeng Bank in Heiyan City, Zhang Tie's eyes suddenly lit up...
