Chapter 752: Chaos and madness, the rolling wheels of the times!
Woo.
The sky is high and the sun is far away.
The melodious train whistle sounded across the land.
With a thumping sound, a green-painted locomotive slowly crawled out from the shadow of the building and headed into the distance with its long tail.
"Give way and don't step on the grain I bought!"
"Train fast food, one for five o'clock. If you need it, please come to Car No. 8 to buy it."
"Do you have any brothers who want to play poker? Come over here and play together."
"There are still four tickets for the third section of the mountain range. Those who need to make up for their tickets should hurry up and go through the procedures!"
"."
In the carriage, different sounds came and went. Occasionally, there were shouts and curses from people passing by, bumping into and stepping on each other, making it very noisy.
From time to time, someone got annoyed by the noise and stood up angrily and yelled.
But sitting in the back row, watching these people coming and going, Ge Jianan only felt cold all over his body and his mind went blank.
When he received the task of submitting a petition from Somo, he was frightened on the spot.
Compared with the Tianyuan Territory, the hard power of the Dragon Phoenix Territory is indeed very weak, like an ant.
The permanent population is only a few thousand people, and the defense force is only a little over 300 people. In addition, the weapons are basic weapons purchased from other territories.
If it weren't for the supervision of the mutual non-attack agreement jointly issued by the three major territories.
I'm afraid that the Tianyuan Territory doesn't even need to send a team directly. It only needs a light missile to send everyone in the territory to the sky.
But this is a comparison between territories.
For ordinary people, even a small dragon and phoenix territory is still an insurmountable mountain.
A complete defense force with large-caliber rifles, bombs for throwing, and complete systems.
Just thinking about this, Ge Jian'an can feel an obvious sense of powerlessness from head to toe.
"The Heroes Association is just an organization established in a town in the Tianyuan Territory. What can we use to subvert the Dragon Phoenix Territory!"
"Even if Alliance Leader Su sends me dozens of people with guns, they will still be far from my opponent!!"
Ge Jian'an recalled his life of wandering around the wasteland over the years, constantly wandering between major territories.
There are not only people who try to subvert the territorial government, but there are indeed many.
There are cases where the higher-ups of the territory conspired to get rid of the lord and replace him with someone else following the Clothes Edict.
There are cases where brothers at the bottom of the hierarchy rose up to resist after being severely oppressed by their lords.
There are also some cases where the longan from outside comes from the red territory and directly picks peaches.
According to statistics compiled by some good people, regime changes occur in territories in the New World almost every day.
But what about the success rate of replacement?
0.13%
Even if you try it a hundred times, you may not succeed even once!
"Uncle, you are also going back to the Dragon Phoenix Territory, right? You don't have anything with you. You didn't make any money from the summer harvest in the Tianyuan Territory this time?"
While thinking, a slightly younger voice sounded in Ge Jianan's ears.
Turning around, I saw a skinny young man with bared teeth and dark skin, wearing only a small vest, sitting down next to him with a smile.
"Well, I'm from the Dragon and Phoenix Territory." With his mind in turmoil, Ge Jianan had no intention of chatting. He nodded coldly and looked out the window.
But what surprised him was that the young man was very familiar with it. Not only did he continue to talk, he even took out two dry and hard pancakes from the snakeskin bag he carried with him.
Keep one for yourself and pass one to Ge Jianan.
"Uncle, I've seen you before. You are Carpenter Ge, right?"
"Ge Dabao and I are good friends. He always praises me about how awesome you are."
A second ago, Ge Jian'an thought that there was either a fool or a gangster sitting next to him.
Sharing food with others rashly, who knows if there is any medicine in it.
But the next second, when he heard the words Ge Dabao, Ge Jianan's eyes moved slightly: "Do you know Dabao?"
"Yeah, my home is in the east end of the town. My mother and I live alone."
"When there is no work outside, I am in the construction team in the town. I have known Dabao for a long time."
"This time I said I would go out with him, but he said, Uncle Ge, you won't let him go, so I will go out alone to make money."
While secreting saliva to melt the dry and hard pancake in his mouth, he answered Ge Jianan's questions honestly.
Afraid that he would not believe it, the young man also gave several details to support his words.
"You and Dabao know each other, what's your name?"
"My name is Hou Yong"
"Hou Yong? Are you a little monkey?" Hearing this familiar name, Ge Jianan's tense face finally relaxed a lot.
When traveling in peacetime, you must always be vigilant to prevent being deceived.
Not to mention that in the chaotic apocalyptic wasteland, there are more liars here, and their methods are more cruel than in the civilized era.
If you accidentally hit the road, you may lose your money, or you may lose your life.
"So Uncle Ge, you know me." Hou Yong seemed extremely happy when he met an acquaintance: "I went to work in Wuya Mansion this time. Oh my, I am such an unlucky old man. I have only been working for two weeks and I didn't expect to meet someone.
Such a sudden big hailstorm caused all the work to be lost. I hid in that shelter for a few days and almost paid money to go in. It was a big loss!"
"You went to Wuya Mansion?" Ge Jianan's eyes flickered slightly.
There is a huge and "sparsely populated" Tianyuan Territory separated between the Dragon Phoenix Territory and Wuya Mansion.
Ninety percent of people would not choose to go far away from home and work in Wuya Prefecture, which is farther away and has a larger population.
"That's right, Uncle Ge, don't say anything yet."
"If our Dragon Phoenix Territory and Wuya Mansion hadn't reached a strategic cooperation agreement this time, and everyone traveling back and forth would be reimbursed for their round-trip tickets, I would have made no money at all, and my trip would have been in vain!"
Patting the bag containing grain on the ground, Hou Yong looked slightly embarrassed and touched the back of his head in embarrassment.
When he first chose a place to work, his first consideration was indeed the Tianyuan Territory.
After all, between the two, Tianyuan Territory is far superior to Wuya Mansion in terms of wages, distance, and reputation.
But the reason why he finally went to work in Wuya Mansion was really very simple.
He has sat and stood.
At that time, in order to make more money, he was busy working in the construction team in the territory the night before he got on the train, and did not go back to bed until three o'clock in the middle of the night.
I got up at six o'clock the next day and got on the train, and I didn't even come back to my senses.
The drive from Longhuang Territory to Tianyuan Territory took just over eight hours, and Hou Yong was able to stay awake for the first five hours.
After three hours, sleepiness set in and he couldn't hold on.
When he opened his eyes again and regained consciousness, the train had already traveled more than 200 kilometers out of Tianyuan territory and was soon approaching Wuya Mansion.
There was no way, the money in his pocket did not allow him to get off the bus at this time, so he paid for the ticket first and then sat back.
I had no choice but to push my way all the way to Wuya Mansion and start working.
"When did the strategic cooperation agreement happen?" Ge Jian'an didn't pay special attention to Hou Yong's dramatic life, but he was slightly surprised by the sudden agreement.
There is a feud between Wuya Mansion and Tianyuan Territory, and everyone knows about it.
As a small territory, the Dragon Phoenix Territory may be able to survive in this crack if it can remain neutral.
But if you actively choose to get involved and are used by Wuya Mansion to disgust Tianyuan Territory, the meaning will be completely different.
No matter how good-tempered the Tianyuan Territory is, once it is really angered.
"Maybe it was just after the disaster, right? Hey, Uncle Ge, you don't know?" Hou Yong's eyes shrank when he noticed that many people were looking at him, and he felt bad in his heart.
He thought that everyone would know about the cooperation agreement by now, but looking at the current situation, it seems that he is the only one who knows about it?
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from them that between our territory and Wuya Prefecture, we can send each other's citizens to work there, and Wuya Prefecture will reimburse travel expenses to a certain extent. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Send each other?" Ge Jianan's heart skipped a beat, and Ge Jian'an quickly stretched out his hand and pinched Hou Yong under the table.
The latter trembled slightly and quickly stopped talking.
After a while, the noise and crowding nearby reappeared, and no one looked at the two of them again.
Ge Jianan then quietly lowered his head and lowered his voice as low as possible: "Did Wuya Mansion say when they would send the first wave of people to cross our territory?"
"As I said, on July 15th, which is still more than half a month away, the first group of people who will come over will help us build some disaster-resistant buildings, bring some low-cost basic materials, and it seems that they will also help us consolidate the defense of our territory.
, Reduce the number of unexpected events that may occur during special periods.”
"Will they send troops over?" Ge Jian'an's tone became more serious again, startling Hou Yong.
"Uncle Ge, how can I know this? But at this special time, wouldn't it be good for them to send troops here? Our Dragon and Phoenix Territory is not as big as those big territories. If there is a wandering lunatic organization, it will be a big trouble.
."
"It's okay, I'm just curious to ask." Realizing that he was indeed too nervous about this topic just now, and his intentions were extremely vague, Ge Jian'an's expression changed continuously, and he suppressed his shock.
Tianyuan territory is east to west, north to south and west.
The east side is close to the mountains, and the west side is close to the boundless sea.
It borders the two large territories of Wuya Mansion and the Dwarves of All Nations to the north, and connects dozens of small and medium-sized territories to the south as well as the entire outside of the New World.
Because of the endless wars for years, few outsiders pass by in the north.
Most of the caravans coming and going enter from the south and go all the way to Wuya Prefecture.
This geographical advantage also results in rare goods and a large amount of basic resources, which are often intercepted by the Tianyuan territory first, and then the leftovers are left for Wuya Mansion and the subsequent large territories to "enjoy".
And the geographical location of Wuya Mansion.
To the east and west are mountains and vast oceans, to the south is the Tianyuan Territory, and to the north is the Lion King Banner.
Such a location means that if they want to sell their goods, they must take the road south through Tianyuan territory.
only.
With someone strangling the most important throat like this, how could Wuya Mansion and the territories behind it be able to swallow their breath.
Last year, they tried to speculate on food prices, which was their first test.
And this year.
"Too bad, these large territories with hundreds of thousands or millions of people are used as a tool to test the Tianyuan territory."
"Long Zhengchu, this old dog, is indeed a shrewd businessman. He reached an agreement with Wuya Mansion and must have received enough benefits or promises to recover any losses. He has no worries about the future of the Dragon Phoenix Territory if the Tianyuan Territory is angered."
"The worst case scenario is that you can just leave and go somewhere else. With some money, you can establish a new territory right away."
"But those of us who live there are in dire straits. We have to bear the blame for him. It's a shame!"
As his mind wandered, Ge Jian'an suddenly had an epiphany.
No wonder the Soviet Union leader of the Heroes Association would give him such a certificate, it turns out there are so many twists and turns in it.
The Tianyuan Territory definitely doesn’t want to see its future restricted by such a small territory.
If the Heroes Association can help solve the problem, and solve it in advance, maybe we can get on this official line and take off all the way.
"It turns out that this is Alliance Leader Su's plan!"
With a deep sigh in his heart, Ge Jianan didn't have much anger at being treated as a tool.
The reality is before us, and there is really no other choice.
In this situation, there are only two ways left for him.
The first one is to run away with your wife and children immediately when you get back, give up your identity as the Dragon and Phoenix Territory, join other small territories and continue to live.
Second, try hard to see if you can complete the certificate of nomination, gain the respect of the Soviet leader, and bring your family into the Tianyuan territory.
The former still have to wander around without any hope of tomorrow.
For the latter, try your best to turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. As long as you succeed, your destiny will change immediately.
"No wonder he didn't force me to agree to the agreement right away."
"well"
Sighing secretly, Ge Jianan's eyes still flickered, but a new idea suddenly appeared in his confused mind.
This idea is crazy.
He was so crazy that he had never thought about it like this even in his dreams.
But if pushed too hard, rabbits will bite.
In this damn troubled world, how could he, Ge Jianan, not be crazy for once!
"Go back and ask Taohua, Dabao and the others if they are willing."
"Even if I risk my life, I still have to fight once!"
Clenching his fists and taking a look at the still bright sky outside, Ge Jian'an's mind slowly sank.
If you choose the path of 'subversion' and ride on the wheel of the times, you will inevitably use all available resources and storage.
He knew a lot of people in the entire Dragon Phoenix Territory, but there were only three people in total who could really talk to each other and were willing to listen to him.
Two of them had escaped together with them and had been friends for four or five years.
The other person is his brother-in-law and the brother of his wife Guan Taohua.
Among them, the brother-in-law and his companions all have a son, who is almost as old as Ge Dabao and is already capable of running the family.
This makes the total number of people eight!
"It's totally not enough. There are 150 regular hunting warriors in the Dragon Phoenix Defense Force, not to mention the 50 personal guards Long Laogou has equipped for himself. There must be at least 15 people under my command, plus Su
Only with the support of the alliance leader can we have a chance!"
"We must unite all the people who can be united." His eyes glanced at Hou Yong who was still chattering about Wuya Mansion. Ge Jianan's slightly cold face suddenly softened.
For the manpower just now, he indeed only counted those people he knew and their descendants.
As for the son's generation, the people they knew were not included.
With the help of these people, maybe
"Hou Yong, don't eat your pancakes. It's not good for your stomach. I have pancakes here that I bought in Tianyuan Territory this morning. Come and eat some."
Taking out the soft pie from the bag, Ge Jianan smiled when he saw Hou Yong's throat rising and falling unconsciously.
It had been a long time since he had really used his brain in the wasteland.
The extremely heavy and day-to-day physical work makes people so numb that they have no energy to think about it anymore.
But that doesn't mean he has no brains.
A scholar who was able to graduate with a doctorate in architecture and yet had no control over his hands led his family to struggle in the wasteland for eight years.
What he has accomplished has surpassed 99% of survivors!
It's night.
The green-skinned train finally wandered from Tianyuan City to the edge of the Dragon and Phoenix territory at a top speed of 50km.
Because the territory is too small and I am not willing to invest.
There is no building like a train station in the Dragon Phoenix Territory, and the place where everyone got off the bus was in the wilderness with no villages or shops in front of them.
After getting off the bus here, everyone has to walk for more than three hours to go home.
"Come, Uncle Ge, help you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Ge!"
Helped Hou Yong to carry half the bag of luggage and get off the train.
After an afternoon of "in-depth communication", with Ge Jianan's IQ, the progress of the relationship between the two was directly maximized.
Among the four or five small groups who got off the bus at this time, Hou Yong subconsciously walked beside Ge Jianan, slightly alert.
Fortunately, most people have returned from working abroad and are extremely eager to return home.
After just a while, the groups with different foot power separated completely and headed in different directions towards Longyin Town, the center of the Dragon Phoenix territory.
"Uncle Ge, when I get rich, I must buy a powerful car so that we don't have to walk home after we get off the train."
It was dark and windy at night, but the temperature in the Dragon Phoenix Territory still remained at around 35 degrees.
After walking for only about half an hour, Hou Yong was so hot that his head was covered with sweat and his back was completely wet.
"Then remember to come here to pick up your Uncle Ge when the time comes?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Ge, if you come back, I'll be here to pick you up as soon as possible!"
Ge Jianan himself was very tired as he kept talking gossip.
But at his insistence, Ge Jian'an didn't signal Hou Yong to stop and sit down to rest until he returned to the familiar high slope in the past.
Unlike large developed territories, small territories are still full of dangers at night.
A passing lunatic, a wanderer with ulterior motives, a lost alien, and "one of our own" out to make extra money.
If you are not careful, you may die without knowing how.
"You sit down first, I'll go to the side and look around." Ge Jian'an took out a dagger from his bag and walked towards the other side of the slope with a slight tilt.
There, there was a small hole he dug and filled with cement, which was strong enough.
According to the Ge family's custom, as long as he goes out.
Every two days, the remaining family members have to send someone here to drop a note to represent safety.
Moreover, the writing on the note is made of special ink and will disappear automatically if not checked within two days, making it very safe.
"It was plowed by hail, but luckily I did some shock absorption here!"
With ease, Ge Jianan quickly found the familiar cave entrance.
He smiled slightly, reached out and touched around inside, and immediately grabbed a handful of notes.
Among them, most of the notes are from heavenly scriptures without words, but on one note, the handwriting can still be seen clearly, which means that someone will come to let him go within two days.
"Fortunately, losing contact for two days really scared me to death."
"It's good that nothing happens at home!"
Putting the one without words back into the hole, holding the one with words, Ge Jianan climbed up two steps and looked carefully through the moonlight above his head.
But this look.
His expression, which was originally slightly relaxed, suddenly became serious!
