Big Rock City.
The conference room on the third floor of the city hall, the long conference table was silent, leaving only the ashes that shook from time to time and the nicotine that could never be dispersed.
The legion is gone.
Or he ran away with his tail between his legs, and he probably didn't care about the River Valley Province for a long time.
This is something to be happy about.
However……
Everyone sitting at the conference table was completely unhappy.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was so solemn that it was not like a meeting, but rather like a funeral.
The only thing that was incompatible with the funeral atmosphere was probably the brown shirt that was worn back under the black coat on Duro.
It was not until he was sitting here that he realized that he was wearing the wrong clothes, but he had no time to change it, so he could only repeatedly use his hands to tick the collar of the coat.
The meeting continued from the second half of the night until dawn.
Trying to support his heavy eyelids, Duro once again quietly looked around the people at the conference table, trying to read some changes in their positions from their expressions.
However, there is still no clue.
In order to ease the stiff atmosphere on the conference table, he cleared his throat and spoke in a gentle tone.
...At least, he didn't lie to us.
Seeing that no one interrupted him, Duro continued.
There was no bullet last night...even if the shells fell on our huge wall, and the ammunition they fired was undoubtedly fireworks.
I think there is actually no need for us to be overly nervous. The alliance is a very friendly neighbor and they have always cared about their relationship with us.
When saying these words, Duro put his posture very low and used the tone of asking for help.After all, few people sitting here have lower identities than him.
Except for Melvin, the president of the Rock Bank, and the deputy director Yeage, who always doesn't deal with him, the rest are either nobles in the inner city or officers in the militia... and the latter are the real powerful people in the Rock.
In contrast, he is more like the servant of the city lord, who manages the non-core business for him.
Several people at the conference table exchanged their gazes and whispered a few words.
The expressions of several inner city nobles appeared a little loose, and they felt that what he said seemed to make sense. After all, the alliance did not provoke them on their own initiative, and even sold them a lot of interesting gadgets, enriching their day and night.
Only the man in the militia uniform was still stern, staring at Duroon without any change in expression, and snorted coldly with his nose as an answer.
oh?So we have to thank them?
His name is Weilun. He is the commander of the 1000-person team of the Jushicheng Militia Regiment, an old noble in the inner city, and the hardest hardliner to deal with.
Although isolation is a consensus among residents of the inner city of Giant Rock City, how to isolate and how to isolate is something to be discussed.
You misunderstood, that's not what I mean.
Du Long sighed softly, looked at the officer with a headache, and continued.
We look at the problem objectively. The airship... or the 400mm main gun fell into the hands of the alliance, which is better than the Legion holding it in the hands, right?Even the people in the northern suburbs are a group of rural blokes, playing with mud-like cracked crabs, they are relatively civilized.
The officer squinted his eyes slightly and said in a cold voice.
What do you mean is that I am not objective enough?
Duro: …
Seeing that the meeting was deadlocked again, Melvin, sitting in a corner of the long table, coughed gently and said in a smooth tone.
I think the Director should want to express that the situation we face has improved a lot compared to half a month ago, so there is no need to be frowning like this.
Seeing his allies speak, Duro immediately took up his words.
That's what I mean.
Sitting next to Weilun, an officer in charge of city defense suddenly sighed.
Automatic air defense firepower, hundreds of cannons... The big-horned deer god is on the top, how did they break through that thing?
At 7:58 last night, the Alliance set off fireworks for an hour and two minutes, and the anti-aircraft guns and missiles on the giant wall were loaded and stood on standby all night.
If the dense fireworks were replaced with shells equipped with near-explosive fuses, there would not be a plane that could take off successfully.
After all, even if the fighter with vertical take-off and landing can switch to fixed wing mode, it will take more than ten kilometers to complete acceleration.
Before this, shooting it down did not require very cutting-edge technology, and a volley of side firepower was enough.
There is no doubt that the country bumpkins in the northern suburbs are showing them that little pity muscle in the name of celebration.
Thinking of this, the officer couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse in his heart.
But he won the Legion by chance and showed off his might in front of them.
This villain's successful face...
Too bad beat!
I still have the same view, Weilun said expressionlessly, we should tighten our assistance to them!immediately!
Duro sighed.
for example?
Weilun said without hesitation.
Loan suspension!Suspend trade with the north!
Duro was not surprised that he would say this at all. The rough men of these militia regiments had no idea that the cost of food, food, oil and salt were expensive.
He was about to say something.
However, before he could speak, a luxuriously dressed man said everything he wanted to say.
The latter one is unrealistic: what you eat, wear, and use... all comes from the trade between us and other survivors' settlements.
Duroon glanced at the man. He recognized him as Sid, who was a famous noble in the inner city and the major shareholder behind Weijia Trading Company.
This guy's industry is not only Weijia Trading Company, but also in Jushi City. It has its shares, including farms in the south and the mercenary group that are kept there. Its family foundation is so thick that it is difficult to calculate with chips.
At the same time, Duro also noticed the devilish silk clothes on his body and the leather shoes made of death claws on his feet.
In a sense, what he said is indeed correct. His food, clothing and consumption are indeed derived from trade with outsiders.
As soon as Sid finished speaking, another nobleman in the inner city who was also not low in his identities spoke immediately.
That's right, and it's not realistic to suspend trade with one party alone!After getting out of the huge wall, those caravans won't let you know where they went.Even if you close the door to the north, even if you only leave one door to the south, as long as the transaction in the northern suburbs is profitable, they will run around in a big circle.
Weilun's brow twitched.
Although his attitude was still tough, he might have realized that his words had not been through his brain, so he changed his words and made a little concession.
Don’t worry about trade for now, at least that loan must be stopped!
He knew that the money was at the Boulder Bank.
It is easy to stop the loan, you can freeze hundreds of millions of chips with just a move of your finger.
The nobles had no objection. Anyway, the alliance's money bag had nothing to do with them. However, just as Weilun was about to smile on his face, bank president Melvin coughed dryly and suddenly spoke.
I have something to say about this...
Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued.
Those loans are not so much aid to them, but rather to our own.Residents of Boulder City can’t afford to buy our stuff, and if we suspend loans to the alliance, at least more than half of the factories will go bankrupt as a result.
Hearing this sentence, Sid quickly spoke.
That won’t work!Loans cannot be stopped!
The nobles agreed and nodded and expressed almost the same opinions.
That's right!
The idea of stopping loans is simply stupid!Our factories have started construction and their loans have been stopped. Who will pay workers?
Even if we have to stop, we have to wait for the country bumpkins to settle the payment!
Seeing that there were more and more allies on his side, Melvin breathed a sigh of relief and continued to strike while the iron was hot.
I think so too. The economy that has been stagnant for a century has finally shown signs of recovery. We cannot let it be interrupted...at least not now.
The officer sitting next to Weilun couldn't help but clench his fists and scolded.
Is it just watching them grow bigger?
Duro said softly.
Regarding this, I have to explain that their power is indeed growing, but we are also becoming stronger.
Not to mention anything else, just say that the 3,000 mercenaries hired to participate in the war on the front line, except for those who died and those who stayed there, at least one or two thousand... They were all soldiers who had been on the battlefield. They were not the kind of battlefield where slime molds were cleaned, but the hot war between firepower and firepower. We can completely incorporate them and train them as grassroots officers!
He had always dreamed of the Town Hall having his own armed forces, and now it is undoubtedly the best opportunity.
Seeing Weilun fall into deep thought, Du Long felt a little happy, but before he could be happy, his ally Melvin suddenly betrayed him.
Regarding the expansion of the army... I don't think that is necessary. We just need to ensure that we have the ability to destroy each other with our neighbors.They rely on us financially and will rely on us more in the future, and those loans are chains around their necks... This is more effective than expanding the army.
joke.
Once the military expansion is an increase in taxes, the city hall doesn't care, he can't ignore it.
The residents in the outer city were almost exhausted and could not fry any oil. The recent increase in jobs has made the situation slightly better.
It is obvious where the money will come from.
Ignoring Duro's crazy look at him, Melvin continued.
If our city lord had no intention of expanding his territory, maintaining so many troops would only be a burden for us.
The nobles sitting at the conference table also nodded.
Most of them have industries in the city. If the army is expanded, it will inevitably lead to tax increases and further increase their operating costs.
At least in this matter, their position is consistent with that of the Big Rock Bank.
Weilun frowned.
He may not care about Duroon and the President Melvin, but he cannot ignore the nobles sitting here.
The intermarriage of two centuries has made the inner city's power structure complicated.
Especially those old nobles, many of them did not spend money to buy tickets to enter the inner city, but were in the original building from the beginning.
Some of them maintain the operation of the city lord's core business, some operate assets in the distant world, and even the city lord will listen to their opinions.
At least listen selectively.
At this time, Melvin coughed gently and said again.
Actually, don’t worry too much, our neighbors are very trustworthy...
He paused for a moment, and continued.
Just yesterday, the subordinates sent by the manager brought us 12 boxes of treasures.Those are all collected by General McClan. The valuation given by my professional evaluation team is 8 million to 9.6 million chips... This money will be used as an advance payment for repaying interest for the next three years.
Before he could finish his words, his eyes immediately became hot when he saw the nobles.
Especially the shareholders of Giant Rock Bank.
Although these treasures entered the bank's vault and had no direct relationship with them, these treasures would soon appear at the auction.
For them, chips are just numbers. Only the money spent can maintain value forever, whether it is purchasing real estate, rare metals, imported products from the ideal city or treasures from the pre-war era.
The collection of the Legion Captain...
I guess they won't be disappointed.
The atmosphere at the conference table suddenly became lively. The excited whispers and sleepy faces caught Du Long and Weilun sitting at the table for a moment.
Unexpectedly, those country bumpkins were quite generous.
This is not called generous, this is the interest we should pay!
A nobleman sighed.
War... money is so fast.
Looking at the nobles who were excitedly talking, Melvin breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face.
It seems that this card is playing at the right time...
……
If you want to say who cannot accept the termination of financial cooperation with the alliance, it is undoubtedly the Rock Bank.
Although the bankruptcy of the factory in Giant Rock City will make the nobles in the inner city feel uncomfortable and even live a difficult life, it will not be damaged.
However, Melvin is different.
His bank is not just a creditor of the alliance, but also lends money to the factory in Giorite City, allowing those factory owners to expand production.
If the alliance's loan is frozen, those factories will not be able to receive the accounts and will not be able to pay back their money. Large-scale bad debts will instantly ignite systemic risks.
That is, liquidity is exhausted.
The country bumpkins in the northern suburbs are very cunning. They signed a lot of orders with the factory in Giant Rock City as soon as they got the loan, and the production tasks were even scheduled for next year.
Melvin has just realized why the representatives of the alliance are so cheerful when signing the contract, including not being used for spot trading, including the scope of use of chips, and the establishment of regulatory accounts, etc., all agreed to a series of unequal treaties.
It turns out that these guys had decided to tie him to their own chariot from the beginning.
There is no doubt that he is the richest person in the city, but not all his money belongs to him, a large part of it is placed by others.
Including those residents of the outer city, nobles of the inner city, and even the city lords.In addition to private accounts, there are taxes from the city hall, military expenses of the militia regiment, etc.
If something goes wrong...
It’s not possible to solve the problem by burning a few books and killing a few people.
Thinking of those series of consequences, Melvin was also a little amused and confused.
He has never been to the league before, but was forced to become a member of half of the league, and even had to withstand the pressure from the inner city for the league...
But he couldn't quit.
Because those people have too many benefits...
The meeting ended and I finally returned home.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Melvin rubbed the sore bags in his eyes and couldn't help but whisper.
These cunning skunks...
Alisa, who was looking at the newspaper, tilted her head.
dad?
Nothing...My good daughter, Melvin immediately changed into a gentle expression and rubbed her daughter's fluffy hair with a doting heart. Dad was just a little tired, so I'd be fine if I rest for a while.
Alyssa blinked and Bingxue said wisely.
Because of war?
It doesn't count, but it also has something to do... Melvin sighed and said tiredly, "Ideally, the league takes our money and fights both sides with the Legion, so that we can do business with the league that has something to do, while letting the league do our business as we ask for.
But the situation happened and they got the airship.Alisa thoughtfully.
Scan the newspaper in her hand, Melvin nodded with a smile.
That's right... they got the airship and set off fireworks to tell us that they had repaired the thing and even played for a while... these cunning little foxes.
Not a skunk?
Cough, Melvin coughed dryly, don’t imitate daddy to speak... By the way, I’m talking about these boring things.
He didn't want his cute little daughter to think about those annoying things. His two sons were excellent people, one was familiar with the business in the inner city and the other traveled in the ideal city. He could hand over the future of the family to them with confidence.
Melvin yawned.
It's getting late, and your music teacher is coming soon... You'd better put away the newspaper, otherwise your mother will be unhappy again.
Alisa made a helpless expression and put down the newspaper in her hand.
All right……
The voice was full of reluctance,
She dragged the last syllable for a long time…
……
Before dawn comes to wasteland.
The night celebration has come to an end, but the excitement on the forum continues.
And the cause of everything is naturally because of the announcement released by Dog Planning A Guang.
Battle of Ruigu City The battle rewards have been issued, and the lottery is open for a limited time. Please exchange points for prizes in time!
The expansion pack is officially launched. In order to consolidate the fruits of victory, we will support our neighbors and drive the legion that spreads chaos and plague to the west of the desert!
The Expeditionary Force registration is on!(Note: Only combat professions are counted, players of life professions do not need to worry, as there will be additional tasks related to exclusive expansion packs in the future.)

Strong wind: (squinted smile)
Picking up garbage level 99: ÁÁÁ!!!Sewer Mission No. 117 gathered!Depart on time at 7 o'clock, and you can quickly get the sequence level!
……
Looking at the noisy little players on the forum, Chu Guang was also sincerely happy for them.
Although he was bleeding this time, the league spent the expected budget for the whole year in just one month, but his little players gained a lot.
The rewards of most players are above 2,000 silver coins, which is enough to buy a miner I exoskeleton, and many players with outstanding contributions are even above 20,000 silver coins.
In addition to a series of expenses such as ammunition, supplies, weapon loss, logistics loss, etc., the direct reward distributed to players alone reached 30 million silver coins!
This is not the cost of the lottery.
At present, the silver price on the official trading platform also fluctuates violently, but Chu Guang doesn't care much.
The Bank Exchange is not a casino, nor is it a financial product.
Instead, it is a financing channel for the closed beta "Wasteland OL" and players, or the tool it uses to pay salaries and subsidies to players.
After the trading volume shrinks to the right position and most speculators leave, he will put some techniques that are not too difficult to digest for the 21st century.
Alternatives include aviation fuel, laser components used to ignite controlled fusion, etc... These are technologies before the prosperity era.
As for how to use these technologies properly, it is not something he has to worry about, and I believe he doesn't need to worry about it.
Chu Guang also suddenly discovered it.
Although he was a little unfamiliar with his business ability at the beginning, he became more and more comfortable in handling these matters after staying in the position of manager for a long time.
In addition, the points I saved from the previous expansion pack to the present have finally come in handy.
Apart from the fraction of the primary blind box and the intermediate blind box, he hangs most of the equipment offered by the high-end blind box as a lottery prize on the official website.
Chu Guang divided the reward into three reward pools.
The first-level reward pool mainly consists of spoils seized from the legion, as well as the basic weapons produced by the alliance, light weapons aided by the Stone City military, etc., with a value of between 1 and 500 silver coins.
The second-level reward pool is mainly some relatively expensive equipment, including weapon accessories and exoskeletons, with a value ranging from 500 silver coins to 2,000 silver coins.
The third-level reward pool is mostly prizes opened by Chu Guang himself, as well as good things obtained from Ideal City, etc.
The quality of these equipment is quite good. Chu Guang believes that his young players can fully utilize their brains and maximize their value in the right occasion.
As for Chu Guang himself, the demand for equipment is not that great.
Not to mention that he has few opportunities to go to the front line, and this divine outfit is almost perfect. If he really gives him an axe, he wouldn't he become a hill dwarf from Carl Franz?
Naya is overwhelmed!
Now that even Niko has put on an exoskeleton, Chu Guang is even confident that he will overturn a tank alone on the front battlefield.
It's not an exaggeration to say this.
After all, the nitrogen-powered hammer is used to destroy bunkers and anti-armor.
In addition to the high-tech equipment opened by blind boxes, what surprised Chu Guang was the changes that happened to him himself.
This time I came back from the front line.
His level has finally exceeded level 30!
The conference room on the third floor of the city hall, the long conference table was silent, leaving only the ashes that shook from time to time and the nicotine that could never be dispersed.
The legion is gone.
Or he ran away with his tail between his legs, and he probably didn't care about the River Valley Province for a long time.
This is something to be happy about.

Although the bankruptcy of the factory in Giant Rock City will make the nobles in the inner city feel uncomfortable and even live a difficult life, it will not be damaged.
However, Melvin is different.
His bank is not just a creditor of the alliance, but also lends money to the factory in Giorite City, allowing those factory owners to expand production.
If the alliance's loan is frozen, those factories will not be able to receive the accounts and will not be able to pay back their money. Large-scale bad debts will instantly ignite systemic risks.
That is, liquidity is exhausted.
The country bumpkins in the northern suburbs are very cunning. They signed a lot of orders with the factory in Giant Rock City as soon as they got the loan, and the production tasks were even scheduled for next year.
Melvin has just realized why the representatives of the alliance are so cheerful when signing the contract, including not being used for spot trading, including the scope of use of chips, and the establishment of regulatory accounts, etc., all agreed to a series of unequal treaties.
It turns out that these guys had decided to tie him to their own chariot from the beginning.
There is no doubt that he is the richest person in the city, but not all his money belongs to him, a large part of it is placed by others.
Including those residents of the outer city, nobles of the inner city, and even the city lords.In addition to private accounts, there are taxes from the city hall, military expenses of the militia regiment, etc.
If something goes wrong...
It’s not possible to solve the problem by burning a few books and killing a few people.
Thinking of those series of consequences, Melvin was also a little amused and confused.
He has never been to the league before, but was forced to become a member of half of the league, and even had to withstand the pressure from the inner city for the league...
But he couldn't quit.
Because those people have too many benefits...
The meeting ended and I finally returned home.
Sitting on the soft sofa, Melvin rubbed the sore bags in his eyes and couldn't help but whisper.
These cunning skunks...
Alisa, who was looking at the newspaper, tilted her head.
dad?
Nothing...My good daughter, Melvin immediately changed into a gentle expression and rubbed her daughter's fluffy hair with a doting heart. Dad was just a little tired, so I'd be fine if I rest for a while.
Alyssa blinked and Bingxue said wisely.
Because of war?
It doesn't count, but it also has something to do... Melvin sighed and said tiredly, "Ideally, the league takes our money and fights both sides with the Legion, so that we can do business with the league that has something to do, while letting the league do our business as we ask for.
But the situation happened and they got the airship.Alisa thoughtfully.
Scan the newspaper in her hand, Melvin nodded with a smile.
That's right... they got the airship and set off fireworks to tell us that they had repaired the thing and even played for a while... these cunning little foxes.
Not a skunk?
Cough, Melvin coughed dryly, don’t imitate daddy to speak... By the way, I’m talking about these boring things.
He didn't want his cute little daughter to think about those annoying things. His two sons were excellent people, one was familiar with the business in the inner city and the other traveled in the ideal city. He could hand over the future of the family to them with confidence.
Melvin yawned.
It's getting late, and your music teacher is coming soon... You'd better put away the newspaper, otherwise your mother will be unhappy again.
Alisa made a helpless expression and put down the newspaper in her hand.
All right……
The voice was full of reluctance,
She dragged the last syllable for a long time…
……
Before dawn comes to wasteland.
The night celebration has come to an end, but the excitement on the forum continues.
And the cause of everything is naturally because of the announcement released by Dog Planning A Guang.

Looking at the noisy little players on the forum, Chu Guang was also sincerely happy for them.
Although he was bleeding this time, the league spent the expected budget for the whole year in just one month, but his little players gained a lot.
The rewards of most players are above 2,000 silver coins, which is enough to buy a miner I exoskeleton, and many players with outstanding contributions are even above 20,000 silver coins.
In addition to a series of expenses such as ammunition, supplies, weapon loss, logistics loss, etc., the direct reward distributed to players alone reached 30 million silver coins!
This is not the cost of the lottery.
At present, the silver price on the official trading platform also fluctuates violently, but Chu Guang doesn't care much.
The Bank Exchange is not a casino, nor is it a financial product.
Instead, it is a financing channel for the closed beta "Wasteland OL" and players, or the tool it uses to pay salaries and subsidies to players.
After the trading volume shrinks to the right position and most speculators leave, he will put some techniques that are not too difficult to digest for the 21st century.
Alternatives include aviation fuel, laser components used to ignite controlled fusion, etc... These are technologies before the prosperity era.
As for how to use these technologies properly, it is not something he has to worry about, and I believe he doesn't need to worry about it.
Chu Guang also suddenly discovered it.
Although he was a little unfamiliar with his business ability at the beginning, he became more and more comfortable in handling these matters after staying in the position of manager for a long time.
In addition, the points I saved from the previous expansion pack to the present have finally come in handy.
Apart from the fraction of the primary blind box and the intermediate blind box, he hangs most of the equipment offered by the high-end blind box as a lottery prize on the official website.
Chu Guang divided the reward into three reward pools.
The first-level reward pool mainly consists of spoils seized from the legion, as well as the basic weapons produced by the alliance, light weapons aided by the Stone City military, etc., with a value of between 1 and 500 silver coins.
The second-level reward pool is mainly some relatively expensive equipment, including weapon accessories and exoskeletons, with a value ranging from 500 silver coins to 2,000 silver coins.
The third-level reward pool is mostly prizes opened by Chu Guang himself, as well as good things obtained from Ideal City, etc.
The quality of these equipment is quite good. Chu Guang believes that his young players can fully utilize their brains and maximize their value in the right occasion.
As for Chu Guang himself, the demand for equipment is not that great.
Not to mention that he has few opportunities to go to the front line, and this divine outfit is almost perfect. If he really gives him an axe, he wouldn't he become a hill dwarf from Carl Franz?
Naya is overwhelmed!
Now that even Niko has put on an exoskeleton, Chu Guang is even confident that he will overturn a tank alone on the front battlefield.
It's not an exaggeration to say this.
After all, the nitrogen-powered hammer is used to destroy bunkers and anti-armor.
In addition to the high-tech equipment opened by blind boxes, what surprised Chu Guang was the changes that happened to him himself.
This time I came back from the front line.
His level has finally exceeded level 30!
