Chapter 137, You Have No Choice
Garbage Town is now facing a catastrophe, and this is something that many people know.
Swann is waiting for Henry's 'high opinion'.
Of course he could guess that Henry said this in order to pave the way for the governor to obtain the full allegiance of Trash Town.
He was waiting for Henry to state the governor's conditions.
Henry also understood, but he smiled again, and said a sentence that made Swan almost unable to hold back:
"Governor Gu is coming to Garbage Town, and he is on his way with his army."
Swann was silent for a moment, then asked: "Did he... come in person?"
"Yes." Henry has become very calm at this moment, "Your Excellency must take down Junk Town, you...we can't resist. Even if you don't mention military operations, as long as the Governor blocks the trade roads, you will not be able to resist." If you buy the raw materials produced by the garbage town, if you don’t sell food to the garbage town, the garbage town will collapse on its own.”
"Huh..." Swan let out a long breath, his face was already very ugly, "That Governor, must it be like this?"
Henry spread his hands: "Is this strange? He is the governor of this planet. It is normal for him to devote himself to bringing the whole world under his rule."
After a pause, he continued: "And, to be honest, Mr. Swann, I don't understand why you are so unwilling."
"Hmph," said Swann, "if given the choice, who would want to be a dog?"
"Hahahaha!" Henry laughed loudly, "That's not right. How can you be a dog if you show your loyalty to the governor and the empire?"
After laughing, he collected his expression and said seriously: "Mr. Swan, I actually had the same stupid idea at the beginning. When the governor told me that he wanted to completely control the entire garbage town, my first The idea is that I managed to become an agent and climbed to the top of Trash Town, but I have only enjoyed the power of an agent for half a month. Trash Town is about to become the governor, so my agent will be in vain. Is it right?"
"But it only lasted ten seconds for this stupid idea to be in my head before I realized how ridiculous it was."
"Who is the governor? He realized that there was nothing to be done in Fuxing City, went out to start from scratch, and counterattacked Fuxing City in two months, completely controlling the entire city."
"He was the one who thwarted the cult's conspiracy and saved the city. If you go to Fuxing City now, you will know that the disaster not only did not destroy people's confidence, but was like a demolition worker. Now the whole city is in Rapidly building, recovering, and visibly getting organized."
"If you can go to the abandoned cave area of Weixing City, there are nearly [-] heavy industry workers gathered there. They can produce a large amount of high-quality alloys every day, one armored vehicle, one heavy gun, one set Another set of individual equipment has been mass-produced from the factory."
"If you can see this, you will have no doubts about whether this governor can really extend his rule to the whole world in the end, as long as he is given a certain amount of time, when he integrates enough population, the two It will not be a big problem to deal with the imperial taxation in the next year."
"I am extremely honored that I followed the governor very early. When the governor expands his power to the entire planet in the future, can I also use the planet as a stage to show my ability? Even when An interstellar businessman navigating between universes? To be honest, that was something I never dared to think about in my life. My biggest wish at the time was to be an agent. Now it seems that my vision is still too short-sighted .”
"So what about you? Mr. Swan, you are different from me. You have already stood in the middle of the stage of Trash Town. Over the years, you have spent countless efforts to seek more profits. It’s just that you can stand more firmly on the stage of Garbage Town. Now, there is an opportunity in front of you, don’t you feel moved at all?”
After listening to Henry's words, Swan sneered: "Hehe...you actually use such a ridiculous reason to persuade me?"
He dismissed it, and didn't even bother to give reasons for his rebuttal.
It’s so good to say, but the threshold of the imperial tax is so easy to pass, and five governors will not die.It is too arrogant to dare to say that it will sweep the world in the future just by mastering a revival city, a shell called alliance that almost no one listens to.
Indeed, as Henry said, it has come to an end for him to sit on the position of the owner of Garbage Town in his life, and there is no room for the sharp-eyed to go further.
But so what?In this wasteland full of starvation and death, is it not enough to be a master?
Swann felt that he was content enough.
However, the attitude he expressed did not make Henry retreat.He responded: "It's a pity that you are not interested in stars and seas. But even now, you have no choice. The governor has the ability to destroy Junk Town. As I said before, he doesn't want you to do it again." Continuing to be the master of Garbage Town is just a matter of thought. He can destroy you with a backhand, but from the front, only he has the ability to save you."
"When Trash Town completely surrenders to the Governor, the army that the Governor will bring will not be our enemy, but our protector. His army will aim its artillery at the orcs who attacked us, not Trash Town Itself. Your most worrying and troublesome problem now will be solved.”
For Henry's words, Swann still did not fully agree: "Only rely on the 800 people outside? Just rely on the 8000 to [-] people brought by the governor on the road? We have a battle that [-] armed adventurers here can't stand, they just Can it be solved?"
Henry smiled again, didn't speak any more, just pointed to the sky.
Swann understood in seconds, and then fell silent.
He was still unwilling, but he had to admit that everything Henry said was right.
Life depends on the governor, no one else can save Garbage Town;
Death, the governor has too many ways to kill them, even if he doesn't do it himself;
In this case, what qualifications does he have to negotiate terms?
But don't talk about any conditions?
Will everything that has been worked hard in the past 35 years be handed over to others?
Henry seemed to see his worry, as the devil's tempting voice sounded in his ears:
"Even if I don't mention those ideals and futures, I'll just say one thing: His Excellency the Governor suddenly gained control of such a huge area from nothing. After Trash Town is brought under control, the total population will exceed 130 million. But On the contrary, there are not enough talents due to the expansion of the governor's power. A female refugee from the Qinggu area can become the civil affairs chief of Fuxing City; On behalf of the governor, talk to people like you about the life and death of Garbage Town. So, if someone like you, experienced and capable, is willing to help the governor wholeheartedly, what kind of status will you get?"
……
Henry felt that Swann must have been persuaded by himself.
Although he didn't give himself any clear answer in the end, and even when he wanted to communicate directly with the governor, he was prevaricated on the grounds that he needed to report to the governor, but Henry still felt that Swann would definitely be in the governor's office in the end. When he arrived at Garbage Town, he unconditionally knelt in front of the governor.
Because he has no choice.
Moreover, it is really difficult for him to replace the governor and promise Swan any specific conditions.He also didn't think that what the governor would promise was at most to let Swann use his performance to win what he wanted.
This also reminded him of when he wanted to ask the governor for the sole agency right of alloy plastic steel, but he was beaten tremblingly in the end, so he knew the character of the governor.
Governor Gu already had a purely superior mentality when he was quite poor, let alone now.
Furthermore, he also believes that even if the Governor refuses to agree to anything, this Mr. Swan will definitely prostrate himself in front of the Governor honestly in the end.
Henry lived in the room Mr. Swan prepared for him with peace of mind, waiting for Swan to give him an accurate answer before the deadline, or waiting for the arrival of the governor.
On the third day, a servant came and invited him to see M. Swann.
Even though he had expected it, Henry still couldn't hide the joy on his face.
He was quite sure that Swann should have surrendered.
Follow the servant and meet Mr. Swann in the office.
"You figured it out..."
Before Henry finished speaking, Swan interrupted:
"Agreed, and I will make all other agents agree. If there are any who do not agree, I will make it impossible for them not to agree as soon as possible."
Henry froze for a moment.
It's a 180-degree turn in attitude.
But why are you in a hurry than me?
He keenly sensed that something serious happened.
"When will the governor's army arrive?"
"Two days at the earliest, five days at the latest..."
"Could it be faster?"
"Wait a minute, what happened, you have to tell me first." Henry was already very uneasy, "Those green-skinned orcs?"
"...Oh, yes."
There's nothing to hide about this either.If the military situation is not smooth, it can easily lead to strategic misjudgments.
Afterwards, Swan roughly told Henry about the current situation.
In the past, there was no such thing as management in Garbage Town. It was originally a town formed by adventurers picking up garbage, but later there were more adventurers, and there were many industries based on the garbage picked up by adventurers. Towns gradually formed.
But now that the town has taken shape and the entire industrial chain has become more complete, a slightly more refined management is essential.
The agents roughly divided the garbage town to the ruins of the super city before the war, that is, the area called the ruins of the tower, into four levels: no-value safe area, valuable safe area, high-value dangerous area, unknown area.
The worthless safe area is just as its name suggests. After many years of exploration, the number of mutated monsters inside has become very small, but it has also become a place with almost no output due to years of searching.The output here is only the hot gray stone produced after the waste energy storm is over.
A valuable safe area refers to a place that has been mopped up many times. There are not many monsters and the danger is not great, but it has only become relatively safe in the past one or two years. The search time is not long, and there are still many places to produce.This is the area with the most metal scrap production, and occasionally you can see some precious pre-war items.
High-value dangerous areas are places where there are many monsters, but the rewards are also great; unknown areas are places where almost no one sets foot, or very few places that can come out alive after entering.
These four types of areas, in terms of distance from the garbage town, become farther in turn.
In the battle against the orcs, the relevant defense zones were also divided in the same way.Or to put it simply, in recent years when the green-skinned orcs began to move in the ruins of the high tower, and even more and more, and even gradually became the main enemy of adventurers, the division of the four types of areas is largely the same as It is related to the activity frequency of orcs.
And when the green-skinned orcs began to emerge in large numbers a month ago, they basically didn't dare to go to high-risk areas, and only the big adventure group could gather a lot of people; Dangerous areas have become high-risk areas.And adventurers are gradually unable to scavenge waste easily, but must form corresponding groups and fronts to fight those green-skinned orcs.
It's more like a war than a battle between small bands of adventurers and entrenched or wandering monsters.
It is also because of this that the adventurers are almost unable to withstand it and are unwilling to withstand it.
We're here to risk money, not fight wars.
And now the latest news is that in the No.18 area, which is a very important place where adventurers formed a formation, built a fortification and fought a large-scale battle with the invading green-skinned orcs, it collapsed.
There were nearly 3000 adventurers gathered there, fighting against more than [-] orcs. They have been fighting for a week, and the pressure is very high.
And just this morning, three adventure groups withdrew from their positions without saying hello to anyone. A total of 6000 people left directly.
Therefore, in an attack on the defense line launched by the orcs as usual, after nearly one-third of the manpower was lost, the defense position collapsed across the board, and the rest of the adventurers could only retreat or even escape.
In the morning, those green skins protruded three areas forward, and they were about to be blocked in the fifth area.And this is already a traditional valueless security zone.
Even, Swan has sent his most precious group of adventurers, the 'Clock Blade' to the front line.They are well-equipped and well-trained, and they are rare elites.It was their appearance that blocked the opening.
However, the casualties were high.
The most important thing is that from the gap that was rushed out, green-skinned monsters continued to emerge from the depths of the ruins, and they were under a lot of pressure.
If the fifth area is breached again, the defense lines in the other parallel areas will definitely not be able to stretch. I am afraid that Trash Town will really let those green skins come to the city.
That was why Swann was so anxious.
"Fuck!"
Henry didn't hold back, and burst into a foul language.
