Yu Lian opened his mouth slightly, but for a moment nothing came out.
He suddenly realized that what the other party said made sense. Some rioting workers were indeed just a small matter. They only occupied a construction site, not a densely populated city, so it was even more of a small problem.
However, the big problem is not the riots, but whether the rioters will cause more problems.
Although due to the investment from the Alliance and Red Star, New Yumen is undergoing extensive construction and absorbing a large number of sand people's labor force. These natives of this planet finally feel that they are about to enter the modern society. But don't forget, in just a few years
Before, the blood of hundreds of thousands of sand people was spilled outside the city of Tulon.
One careless move may become the spark that detonates the powder keg.
If it were a normal day, it would have detonated. With the current strength of the Sha people, it is almost impossible to gather a million troops to besiege Tulong again like they did a few years ago. This is reflected in the layout and investment in Xinyumen.
Strength can easily complete this suppression.
But now, after all, it is a troubled time.
Yu Lian had a sullen face and looked directly at Akinayama Hachiman's dead fish eyes hidden under his glasses: "Two hours?"
"Two hours." Akinayama Hachiman repeated. However, he still pushed up his glasses and said without changing his expression: "Actually, this is a metaphor. Anyway, by the time you arrive, it must have been solved. If
Otherwise, I would rather engage in military law."
"I listened." Yu Lian said coldly.
After closing the communication, Yu Lian thought for a while and then connected the communication with his old comrades who were still in Tulong.
What appeared on the screen was Dr. Banks Shazabi, whom he had not seen for a long time. It was the No. 14 Military Station where they had served together, fought bugs together, broken through the siege together, and finally participated in the Battle of Tulon.
One of my old comrades.
It may be said that it has been a long time, but in fact, Yu Lian has not completely lost contact with his "old" comrades who served for the first time. He even formed a chat group to occasionally chat with him during holidays and festivals.
Send a red envelope. Even the girl from the measurement unit will chat with the girl.
Of course, as Yu Lian's status and reputation slowly increase, no matter how "people-friendly" he behaves, everyone becomes more and more polite to him. This cannot be changed by human will.
Even so, Yu Lian still believes that the two old comrades who are still in Xinyumen are worthy of entrusting them with something.
One of them is Uncle Carl Johnson, a native technical master who has become a first-class sergeant major. He was appreciated by his superior (student) at first, and he is stationed in Tulong and is responsible for the maintenance of various technical equipment.
With more money and less work, the old man was very happy. He was ready to finish the last year of the contract, so he accepted Yu Lian's invitation to join the design unit under Red Star Office and use his remaining talents for a few more years.
As for the military doctor Banks, he is also a college student after all, so he has the rank of second lieutenant and is now working at the Military General Hospital in Tulon. He is also planning to retire after his last year and return to his hometown to find a job in a big hospital and live a happy life.
Little days.
After all, Second Lieutenant Banks only graduated from a hospital with a low caliber, and his academic qualifications are really not convincing. But if he has a resume as a military doctor or even an officer, it can make up for the birth problem. In addition, it is said that it is because he is studying in the Empire.
My younger brother is about to graduate from college and he no longer has to risk his life to save for tuition.
The guard members who served in the No. 14 Military Station back then were actually temporary contract soldiers, more like employees than professional soldiers. So, after so many years, those who are still serving in the Xinyumen Local Guard Force are also
There are only two of them left - Ina now belongs to the Thirteenth Fleet.
If these two people knew that there would be another fight in Xinyumen, they would not have signed another four-year service contract just for the last salary.
Of course, although this is not nice to say, their misfortune is indeed Yu Lian's luck. At least, with them here, Yu Lian will not be ignorant of the local situation.
"Isn't Mr. Carl here?" Yu Lian glanced at the holographic projection. The background was a small repair shop, which should be Mr. Carl's repair shop.
As far as he knew, the two of them had done some private work in the past two years.
Uncle Carl opened a small shop in Tullon and hired several apprentices. He claimed that he was undertaking the repair business of various vehicles and machines. In fact, Dr. Banks would bring malfunctioning medical equipment to
His workshop comes for repairs, and when it comes to reimbursement, it will be reimbursed at two-thirds or even half of the original factory charges.
Even so, the profits made by the two of them were considerable. The leaders above also felt that although Dr. Banks' medical skills were only second-hand, his ability to do things was really good.
Thus, a perfect world in which everyone benefited was achieved without the original factory cutting leeks in different ways.
Doctor Banks said: "Sergeant Carl took his team to Mount Kililuo and prepared to help the Red Maple Factory open the mountain there?"
"Kaishan?" I didn't know that the military's maintenance squad also had this function.
Yu Lian knew that according to everyone's original plan, the machinery parts factory and the heavy shipbuilding factory were expected to be put into operation the year after next. However, the metallurgical base built here by the Hongfeng Factory is preparing to start production in the first quarter of next year.
. Because the infrastructure construction of New Yumen requires a large amount of steel. As a result, mining must keep up immediately.
However, no matter how tight the time is and how heavy the task is, it is not urgent enough to have to use the military, right?
Dr. Banks then explained that when the workers at the Hong Maple Factory were preparing to build the mine, they didn't know if there was a problem with the magnetic field there, and the heavy equipment for mining broke down several times inexplicably. As a result, the workers at the Hong Maple Factory
The person simply slapped his head, asked the military for help, and directly bombarded him with a phase cannon.
The heads of the local military, Hachiman and Simon, think this can still be carried out. After all, they even demolished the fortress back then, and now they are demolishing it again
So Uncle Carl, who was responsible for maintaining heavy equipment, followed.
Well, it is indeed the style of the guys at Hongfeng Factory, and I like it very much. The key is to dare to think and execute, which makes me even more satisfied. Yu Lian thought.
Having said this, Dr. Banks seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Yu Lianda say: "I know what you want to say, but it has nothing to do with the ruins of the Enlightened One we encountered in the mountains.
Although they are all located at the foothills of Mount Kililo, the construction site of the steel plant is at least three to four hundred miles away from the ruins."
"oh……"
Dr. Banks nodded, with a look of realization as if what you said makes sense and I completely believe it.
"Actually, sir, I had forgotten about that place," he said.
Gu Xuan
Although the doctor is a little greasy, he has always been a smart man.
Yu Lian smiled lightly and asked again: "So, what happened to Tulong's kidnapping incident?"
This verbal riot did indeed occur very suddenly.
The incident happened after 5 o'clock in the evening. At that time, everyone was building a freight light rail between the Machinery Parts Factory and Tulon Airport. The workers erected a light rail five hundred meters away from the airport terminal building.
The alloy pillars and balancers were laid, and then they prepared for today's dinner. But at this moment, a group of sand workers suddenly took out weapons from the dining car that had just arrived, and howled and rushed half a kilometer away.
outside the terminal.
Let’s not mention the reason for their riot, but the purpose of the action is quite clear. You know, Tulong and the entire Xinyumen rich people are waiting in the terminal every day, hoping to squeeze into the only airport every day.
The scheduled passenger ship fled back to the mainland.
Even the (nominal) leader of the entire colonial sector, Governor Jiang Yudong, is always on standby in the terminal.
Of course, according to the star district government, the Governor will not escape and will definitely live and die with all the citizens of the New World Star District. He moved his office to the hotel in the terminal building to maintain the airport nearby.
Order.
In short, if this group of violent sand people were allowed to rush into the terminal building, they would definitely be able to take the most valuable hostages in Tulon and even the entire New World sector.
If it had been before the Tulon Incident in 829, maybe they would have really succeeded.
But it is now 832, and it has been almost two years since the backbone of the Thirteenth Fleet and the "Youth Club" took over all the defense of the New World. The garrison forces at key positions have long been replaced by stormtroopers directly under the fleet and the navy and army from the mainland for support.
The battle team is so much higher than the security team that I don’t know where they are.
The airport garrison responded quickly and immediately gave the sand residents a head-on attack. Less than fifty people rioted in the sand, but more than thirty people were shot dead on the spot. The remaining thugs jumped on
He got his own dining car, rushed to the construction site of the machinery factory, occupied a large factory building that had just been repaired, and took dozens of hostages to resist.
Now, the two sides have been facing off for more than ten hours.
"This is the whole process of this attack. Well, it's really not a big deal. The city has already returned to normal. At the airport, today's scheduled ship also came and evacuated another two thousand people.
People." Dr. Banks concluded: "Look, Sergeant Carl's workshop is also open for business."
"Where are the casualties?"
"During the conflict at the airport, two security guards and an airport staff member were injured. When the rioters retreated to the factory, a gunfight still broke out, but because they had heard the gunshots before, the engineers at the Red Maple Factory organized workers
They quickly evacuated the scene. A total of eight workers were hit by stray bullets, but they were helped down by co-workers. All the injured were properly treated and all are not serious."
Dr. Banks was on duty at the hospital at the time, so his words were naturally authoritative.
Having said this, the doctor was also impressed. He felt that the workers who came to support from the Red Maple Factory, whether they were humans or Lumina, with their organizational power and calmness, as long as they were given a gun, would definitely be better than those here.
Most security guards can fight.
The unlucky guy who was finally kidnapped was because he was debugging the machine in the factory and didn't hear the gunshots, so he was blocked inside by the thugs. This was indeed an unforeseen disaster.
"Now, those thugs have been blocked in the factory. If they weren't afraid of accidentally injuring the hostages, they would have been solved long ago.
Doctor Banks pondered for a moment and then added: "Actually, the news of the raiders' invasion has been circulating for a week, so the sand riots are nothing at all. Everyone was indeed panicked at first, but life still has to go on.
Generally speaking, the entire planet is still in order. After all, the situation in the city is much quieter than when millions of sand people besieged the city, so don't worry."
If Yu Lian still doesn't believe what he said, the pressure on the doctor will be too great.
However, after closing the communication, he still fell into deep thought. A few minutes later, he casually set up a blackboard and wrote "Sand People Uprising", "Snake", "Predator", "Alliance" and other words on it.
word.
He frowned and held his chin, staring at the blackboard and thinking for a long time. After consuming two lollipops and an ebony scepter, he thought of something and wrote the word "grey" in the center of the blackboard, and then
There is a line connecting it with "alliance".
At this point, his brows finally relaxed a little.
On the other side, in the security headquarters in Tulong, Akinayama Hachiman had a gloomy look on his face. He wiped his lenses and muttered: "So, if the attack was over by force, it would have ended in the early hours of yesterday. It would take another two hours."
What? Are you okay now? Have you been caught? That guy is becoming more and more like a big shot now. If he gets angry, I won’t care. You can take the blame yourself. "
Akinayama Hachiman muttered for nearly three minutes, then put on his glasses again, and then connected a number in the office: "Simon, did you hear this? Comrade Chairman is coming in half a day? If you
If it's not solved within two hours, I'm going to attack by force."
After nearly three seconds, a Nuonuo voice came from the other side of the communication terminal: "Qiu, Chief Qiu Mingshan, I am..."
Hachiman straightened his military cap and said with a stick without expression: "Oh, Sergeant Pavli, Major Wayali's correspondent! Why did you answer the phone?"
"... Chief Wayali failed to persuade him just now, so he put down his weapon and went in on his own."
"...I understand. He is planning to rely on his psychic power to rush in and knock down all the kidnappers with his bare hands? Haha, if it is just to save us shells, it is not necessary!"
"It's not just him. Mr. Busca, the engineer from the Red Maple Factory, also rushed over and went in with the chief just now."
"..."
"That, and several tribal elders from the Sand People also went in together."
Akinayama Hachiman was silent for half a minute, took off his glasses again, pressed hard on the ninja, and continued expressionlessly: "Okay, I probably understand what he means. However, I made an agreement with him before.
Yes, if there is no result in two hours, I will launch a strong attack according to the original plan."
"...Ming, understand."
After turning off the communication, Hachiman stayed on the spot for two minutes, but then opened a screen. The picture that appeared on it was in the vast wilderness more than 150 kilometers away from Tulong City. There, there were
They sniped at more than 200,000 young men from more than a dozen sand people city-states and tribes, and almost everyone was armed.
Of course, these sand people all come from relatively "friendly" tribes and city-states, and they claim to be here to help the sector government protect Tulon Port. Moreover, they did stop outside the defensive cordon of Tulon City.
They had already camped and repaired in the undefensible wilderness for nearly half a day. They also sent people into the city to discuss the remuneration and food with Hachiman in a very humble tone.
No matter how you look at it, they are indeed here for reinforcements, and the Earth's army really has no reason to attack them. In normal times, Governor Jiang would have jumped out and chatted and laughed with the elders of the sand people.
"But you came at the right time!" Hachiman muttered to himself.
