Chapter 136, about to collapse
Bad job?
Perbov seemed a little confused.
Henry is also patiently explaining at this time.
He first reached out and nodded to himself: "I am the wedge appointed by the Governor to Trash Town. If the Governor wants to take Trash Town, I have a duty to do it. It is best to get things done before the Governor's army arrives. At that time, the army only needs to come to the town and help the new alliance system to be implemented in Garbage Town. If it is necessary to go to the point where the army uses force, isn't it because I am not good at doing things?"
Perbov thought for a while, nodded slightly, and recognized Henry's idea.
Then, Henry pointed his hand at Perbov again:
"As for Mr. Major, you have been ordered by the Governor to come to this wilderness to wipe out all the settlements and relocate the population. The settlements that will remain must also change their flags and accept the complete and complete rule of the new coalition government. Opponents. You are qualified, but not the best. Because within the range of two hundred kilometers, there is such a special existence as Junk Town. There are [-] permanent residents here, and another [-] rely on Junk Town to operate In the small territory that was born, there are [-] armed scavengers and adventurers who have long entered the ruins of the tower to pick up trash..."
"Regardless of the importance of population and raw material extraction, this is the most important place among all the settlements around Fuxing City. And it is at an awkward position on the edge of your mission range. The governor really didn't let you just use these [-] soldiers Let’s take down Trash Town, but if it can be done, wouldn’t it be a perfect score for what was originally just a passing answer sheet?”
After thinking about it seriously, Perbov had to admit that he was indeed persuaded by Denison Henry.
There is another key point here, Henry doesn't know, he himself doesn't know, he came this time, with accumulated meritorious service, and strives to succeed Yan Fangxu, who will become the commander-in-chief of the whole army, in a logical way. Is the brigade commander of the Extinguishing Wind Brigade?
Now he has indeed completed his task step by step, and the completion is considered qualified. Not only are nearly ten settlements within [-] kilometers, all under the rule of the new alliance, but the battle of Sanchi was almost wiped out at a very small price. In addition to the bandits occupying this area, no one can say that he did not do well enough.
But Perbov himself always felt that it wasn't enough.
Now, Henry put the garbage town in front of his mouth, and he couldn't help but drool.
Garbage Town... He still remembers that when he was just a miner in a hole club and lived a truly dark life, Garbage Town was a prosperous place in the distance.Whether or not the entire Abandoned Cave Club can have a meal depends entirely on whether the merchants in Garbage Town are willing to give some extra rice to buy the ore produced by their Abandoned Cave Society.
For him, the presence of Garbage Town is even heavier than that of Fuxing City, which is closer.
And now, in the blink of an eye, does he, the leader of the miners' group, have the opportunity to lead the army and take such a place?
But despite his hunger for merit, Perbov was able to maintain his sanity.
Even if Garbage Town could barely be regarded as a settlement within [-] kilometers where the governor asked him to act on his own, he still kept in mind that he could not act on his own.
It was not a small settlement.As Henry said, there are 30 to 10 people in the sphere of influence of Garbage Town, and because of the unique industrial ecology, almost everyone has a gun, and the armed scavengers and adventurers who lick blood on the tip of their knives all year round add up to [-] There are always people.
They are indeed not an army, but their equipment may be better than those of the looters, and their combat experience and willpower are also stronger.
If things don't go well and a military conflict occurs, it is impossible for him to win such a battle with 800 men under his command.
Not to mention, there is the possibility of getting stuck in the quagmire between Garbage Town and the green-skinned orcs.
So, he insisted on his previous statement: "I need further authorization to act."
Henry smiled: "Of course, when the signal is connected, let's talk together."
His goal has been achieved.
Even if Perbov dared to follow him now, he would not dare to let him follow like this.He is not so bold yet, daring to incite the army to do things beyond his authority without a military order.
It's too taboo, I'm afraid that even if it succeeds, it will be killed by the governor after the fact.
He will not make such a mistake.
Come to Perbov, he is indeed here to borrow the military comms station.
Of course, in addition to this, the bigger idea is to persuade Perbov himself.
Simply executing orders, and Perbov's own subjective initiative, are of course two completely different situations.
It would be even better if Major Purboff could lend a helping hand when he reported to the Governor later to increase the chances of success.
But unexpectedly, this idea fell through in the end.
Because when the radio was connected to Fuxing City, he got a piece of news.
The governor is no longer in Fuxing City at this moment, but he, Lieutenant Colonel Thaddeus, and the 2nd Infantry Division are heading towards Garbage Town together.
The governor left a word.
"I hope my army only needs to deal with those green-skinned orcs then."
He heard this once before when he met the governor, but this time he heard it again, but he had a different feeling.
He turned his head and looked at Perbov: "Do you understand what the governor means?"
"Understood." Perbov said, "I will help you. But again, I hope that my troops will stop twenty kilometers away from Garbage Town. The rest of the matter , I’ll leave it to you, and if things don’t go well, I’ll wait for the 2nd Infantry Division to arrive.”
"That's enough."
……
When Henry was talking with Purbov, he looked like he was holding the wisdom beads, but in fact he was panicked.
Because he calculated his time.
Most of the time on foot, from Fuxing City to Garbage Town, the distance is about two hundred kilometers. The normal marching speed is a little three to five days faster, and it will not exceed ten days at most if it is slower.
Combined with the words left by the governor, this is the time for him to deal with the garbage town.
He has to hurry up.
Fortunately, following Perbov's synthetic battalion operations, the speed is still guaranteed.
This synthetic battalion was almost completely motorized.Even the most cumbersome 155 howitzers are mounted on wheels and towed by tractor trucks; all soldiers, including engineering companies and logistics support companies, are also used by troop trucks and supply trucks.
Among the troops, it was the armored company that ran the slowest and slowed down the most.
Twelve old tanks were dragging behind, and they could only run at a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, making people afraid that a few of them would break down on the road.
In fact, this did happen.
On the way, a tank did break down.
But this did not affect the speed of the entire army.A part of the maintenance personnel and crew members were left behind, and the rest still traveled a distance of [-] kilometers and arrived outside Garbage Town.
At this time, it was already late at night.
The troops stopped on the spot and built a camp, while Denison Henry, with a small number of entourage and guards, met the team that came carefully from Garbage Town to check the situation, explained something, and then calmly entered the city.
The scouts who came to check the situation did not disperse, and they were still surrounding Perbov's troops in the dark.
Perboff didn't mind either.
He has already sent out sentries and guards. As long as these people don't get too close, if they want to watch from the outside, then let's watch.
This calm posture made the outside snoopers even more frightened.
Of course, the most frightening thing is the cannons, armored vehicles and tanks that cannot be seen clearly in the dark but do exist.
Coupled with the orderly and well-trained appearance of the soldiers, the snoopers clearly understood that although this team was small in number, its combat effectiveness was extremely strong.
Contact the new agent, that is, Mr. Henry's background, where can't you guess that this is from the new alliance and belongs to the governor's army?
……
The next day, Denison Henry saw the person he wanted to see.
His name is Jason Swan.
This is a man with white hair and a majestic face. His brows are fierce, weathered, and vicissitudes.
He's the biggest agent in Junktown.
When Jason Swan was young, he was already hanging out in Garbage Town.At the beginning, he was just an ordinary scavenger, daring to work hard, joined a small adventure group, and later became the boss, and then he managed the entire adventure team into a group, and robbed some of the business of refining raw materials, and later Opened up some business avenues...
He became the deputy, and slowly became the biggest one.
It's just a few words to say, but since he was 15 years old, he has gone through countless intrigues and life and death fights to reach his current position in the 35 years since he was [-] years old.
He holds the largest primary raw material processing factory in Trash Town, and holds 20% of the business share. His adventurous group named 'Clock Blade' is one of the best armed forces in Trash Town.
The combination of industry and force constitutes the prestige of Mr. Swan today.
He has always been unsmiling and shows people a majestic side. Even when the current situation is difficult recently, he has always maintained this attitude, and it has also played a role in stabilizing people's hearts to a certain extent.
In fact, no one knows whether he panicked or not.
It was not the first time Denison Henry had met Swann.
Every time we met in the past, he was as humble as an ant.Even after he was nominated as an agent, the relationship between the two parties remained unchanged.
Apart from the new industry of alloy and plastic steel that he has mastered, the power actually controlled by Henry himself is incomparable with the real boss in the garbage town.
But today, he had to change his thinking and straighten his back.
He represents the governor!
His mentality has changed.
Standing behind me is the master of the entire planet. After the governor takes control of Fuxing City, this master is not just a title, but has a real and powerful guarantee.
With such a strong backing, why should I kowtow to an armed businessman boss in a junk town?
I really got used to kneeling before!
As if he felt something, Swan raised his head, his eagle-like and wolf-like gaze swept over Henry's face, and he spoke slowly, with a slightly hoarse voice:
"Are you here to persuade me to surrender to the governor in Fuxing City?"
Henry's calf was still a little weak, and many rumors about Swann's fierceness and determination flashed through his mind.
He's not a tough guy at all.
But he still tried to maintain a face of decency.
"Yes," he said, "do you have any other choice?"
"I can kill you." Swan's tone was indifferent.
Hearing this, Henry's buttocks tightened, but he immediately relaxed again.
It was scary to hear this at first, because Jason Swan was really capable of doing it.
However, after careful analysis, it can be concluded that Mr. Swann is putting on airs.
Because a month ago, if he dared to say something to persuade you to surrender, Mr. Swan would not have said a word to him, and he would have collapsed with a single shot.
But now, saying that he can kill him is a sign of guilt.
Thinking about this in an instant, Henry felt a little more relaxed.
"Of course, you can do this. You can be regarded as the master of Trash Town. What's so difficult about killing me?" Henry followed Swann's words to compliment him, but when his voice changed, he started again: "But It's not a choice."
Swan didn't say much, just stared at Henry.
But Henry became more and more enthusiastic: "Isn't today's garbage town the most troublesome time for external and internal troubles? The growth of those green-skinned orcs caused the smallest impact on production reduction. When those scavengers and adventurers found out, they After the danger of entering the ruins of the tower is greatly increased, but the harvest is greatly reduced, will they still gather here? Especially now that Fuxing City has increased its attractiveness to refugees, and the policies there are too tempting."
"After these scavengers and adventurers are gone, what about the industries that rely on them? Those taverns, brothels, and cloakrooms will all be closed; all the primary processing industries for garbage will be closed; The plenum cannot continue because of this, and eventually the garbage town will become a real garbage that no one cares about."
"Destroying Garbage Town doesn't require those green-skinned orcs to break through our line of defense and slaughter our people. They just need to maintain the current pressure and make scavenging a high-risk, low-return business, which is enough to destroy the wasteland. Our town built on picking up trash is being destroyed."
Henry tells the story of the crisis at the level of economic fundamentals.
Swann just listened in silence.
This is not a high opinion.
This danger has already been seen by some people, and it is even happening.
Most of the adventurers and scavengers in Garbage Town don't have much personal attachment to the agents.A small number are hired, and even quite a few people are independent adventure groups.They entered the ruins of the city, picked up trash and sold it, and obtained basic income; if they could pick up technological products, artworks, and relatively well-preserved psionic crystals that could be used in the pre-war era, they could make a lot of money .
But now, because of the need to fight against the green-skinned orcs, the risk of taking risks has increased and the benefits have decreased, which is visible to the naked eye.They will also be specially recruited to fill the front lines where the confrontation is most fierce.Although commissions and equipment are given, this battle is still too difficult to fight. Many adventure groups will refuse to recruit, and even leave the garbage town in groups.
There are not many people leaving, and the scale is not large, but this is an extremely dangerous omen, a precursor to the collapse of the levee.
