Chapter 917: Combined military power

On the surface, Jiange Fortress.
"Huh, what's the matter?" The colonel, who was urging his hands to dig the collapsed tunnel, suddenly realized that the shelling of the Revolutionary League had stopped, and no shells had fallen from the sky for several minutes.
"The shelling stopped?" The colonel's deputy also raised his head in confusion and looked towards the sky.
Except for the gunpowder smoke that has not yet dispersed, those shells have indeed disappeared without a trace.
The deafening explosion was gone, which instead gave the defenders and workers in the Jiange Fortress an unreal feeling.
"Could it be... the other party's shells are finished?" the deputy asked tentatively.
"Impossible. Judging from the density of shelling by the other party before, the base of ammunition they prepared is absolutely sufficient to support the uninterrupted shelling for more than 24 hours, otherwise, the shells will not hit our heads as hard as we don't need money."
"Then send out reconnaissance troops?"
"I am afraid that the mountain is already surrounded. It is difficult for the reconnaissance unit to get out... In my opinion, the opponent should be adjusting the position of the artillery position, and their large forces should be attacked soon... How is the construction progress? Up?"
"Only one-fifth of the progress of the main body of the fort has been completed, and the priority fortifications have been half completed, but the outer fortifications have all been destroyed by artillery fire."
"No way, the number of near-defense guns is really limited. By the way, let them take advantage of this time to fill up all the near-defense gun ammunition, so you don't have to wait..."
Before the colonel had finished speaking, a communication soldier hurried over and said a few words in his ear.
"What? The Revolutionary League’s heavy artillery positions were destroyed? Who did it?!"
"This news came from the insider over there, and the Revolutionary League did not know the identity of the attacker."
"It's weird..." The colonel was puzzled. As the temporary supreme military commander of the Jiange Fortress, the organization's combat plan would definitely not be kept secret from him. But as far as he knew, the Parliament had not yet come up with a gun against the Revolutionary League. The battle plan of the position, how could the artillery positions of the Revolutionary League have been destroyed?
Could it be... a third-party force participated in the war? Or was it some elite secret force sent by the big man above that he didn't know?
But anyway, this is definitely great news for Jiange Fortress.
The Revolutionary League lost its heavy artillery support, and the scale of victory once again tilted toward the organization.
Organization headquarters, basalt chamber.
This is probably the most tidy meeting of the House of Representatives in recent months. The long table is full of seats. There is no empty seat, and even some new members who are ranked lower can only sit on the periphery of the table. On the chair, he participated in the meeting in a manner similar to "auditing."
The entire basalt secret room was exceptionally quiet, and the congressmen were all sitting in jeopardy. As for the usual whispering and whispering, it did not happen at all.
They knew in their hearts that they were just a puppet...or, to put it ugly, a hostage, it was not up to them to organize this behemoth from the beginning.
The presence above the parliament is about to show up, which makes these parliamentarians unable to help but hold their breath... The older generation of parliamentarians may still have heard of the stories of the nine founders, but the younger generation is about it. Completely ignorant.
The candlelight in the secret room suddenly flickered. Amidst the scattered lights and shadows, a middle-aged man didn’t know when he sat on the seat that originally belonged to the speaker, and the speaker who once represented the highest power of the parliamentarian, then It was standing behind him respectfully.
The man wore a straight black suit and a full-covering metal mask on his face. He wore a delicate lace bow tie on his chest. His short dark brown hair was meticulously combed and looked like a man. The nobles who are participating in the masquerade are like ordinary.
"Hello everyone, you can call...'Xia', the'Xia' of Xia, Shang and Zhou." The middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with the atmosphere of the scene. After looking around the expressions on the faces of the congressmen, he spoke.
His voice is low, slightly hoarse, but it has a power that is hard to resist.
"I think you should all know who I am. Otherwise, you won't be sitting here today. As for other things, I won't say much. All of you here are smart people. I'll just be straightforward. Now, starting today, I ask the consortiums and forces behind you to obey all orders of the organization unconditionally...Attention, it is an order, not a request, let alone a request."
Hearing this sentence, the facial expressions of many legislators changed slightly, but no one made a sound.
"You can rest assured that we are not going to deprive you of your property, but now is an extraordinary period. We must unite all the forces that can be united to overcome this difficulty together... You should also understand that if we fail, we are waiting for you. What will be the end of this."
"So, does anyone disagree?"
Xia's hands were interlaced and placed under her chin. The seemingly "kind" gaze swept through the two holes in the mask across the face of every member of the Council.
"Well, since you all have no objections, let's make a long story short, our time is precious, and there are a lot of problems waiting for us to solve... After all, I woke up to solve these problems this time. "
Xia leaned back slightly and leaned on the back of the chair, while the speaker quickly stepped forward and slid a folder to the center of the table.
"This is all the details of the'Utopia Plan' we currently have. If anyone has entered the game after the "Wasteland Survival Code" has been shut down for maintenance, you will definitely find that there have been some very subtle and difficult-to-make virtual worlds. Changes that people perceive but are real."
Following Xia's description, several councilors looked at each other with deep approval. They really felt the same feeling.
"This kind of change is difficult to describe, but it boils down to only one sentence... This virtual world has become more real. As you all know, the main brain is trying to replace our reality with a virtual world named'Utopia'. Downtime for maintenance means that the architecture of the'utopian world' has been embedded in the "Wasteland Survival Code". However, it is only in the testing phase, and we still have the opportunity to make our own choices."
"Return to the surface early. This is the first step in our counterattack plan. The Jiange Fortress is currently nearing completion. However, if we cannot repel the Revolutionary League troops, then we will never be able to gain a foothold on the surface."
"I know that the consortium behind you all have a large number of private troops. We now need to gather these troops to drag the Revolutionary Army that attacked the Jiange Fortress and buy time for the fortress." Xia's tone has always been calm, but this It does not mean that the hearts of all Members present are equally calm.
In a few words, they are required to surrender their military power. Obviously no one would be willing to...
These consortia have all experienced the "end days". They have witnessed the fall of the great powers that once "ruled the world". They deeply understand the importance of the army in this era... Without an army, it is equal to loss. Everything.
Even before this, the organization only required "joint operations" for the private armies of each consortium, and the specific command power was still in the hands of each consortium's own people, and the person in charge of those consortiums could still have the battle plan. A certain right to speak... But now, Xia is asking them to directly surrender the army and incorporate them into the organization's combat sequence. This is undoubtedly treating them as animals to be slaughtered.
This is no different from directly depriving the consortium’s assets...Those consortiums that have been tied to the organization’s tank are fortunate to say, as for those consortiums whose organizations only occupy less than 10% of the equity, this It is like giving away the foundation that has been laid down by many generations.
The atmosphere in the basalt closet suddenly became tense.
Xia is not a fool. On the contrary, his IQ should be higher than that of every congressman present. He naturally knows that these people will not agree to this request. Don’t look at them not talking now, it is just a threat from the organization, he dares Certainly, if this solicitation order is really implemented, I am afraid that after these members return, many people will immediately turn their faces with the organization, and even join the camp on the side of the Revolutionary League.
This is just a test. It's like bargaining when buying vegetables. Whether it is a vegetable vendor or a buyer, you can't quote your reserve price from the beginning.
"I know you are very reluctant... But I can guarantee that your troop numbers will be retained. Our so-called enlistment can actually be regarded as a kind of lease. After the war is over, these troops will remain unchanged. Give it back to you. Of course, if there is a loss, the organization will pay you compensation, just like the mercenaries of the old age."
"Moreover," Xia Shao increased his tone slightly, "you can also send your cronies to serve as the commanders of the troops, just like the previous few coordinated operations."
Although literally, the difference is not big, but this time the battlefield is above the surface. The influence of these large consortia on the surface is not even one or two of the organizations, and it will be regarded as a nominal command when the time comes. The officers are their own, but do these commanders have real power and who else can understand?
There are still no congressmen speaking out, and everyone is fighting fiercely in their hearts. Xia has already spoken to this point, and the possibility of organizing to make concessions is very slim.
If you agree to this request, you must be psychologically prepared to lose everything. If you refuse, you will also fall into a difficult situation to return.
The situation in the underground world is very clear. It is either black or white. Either stand on the side of the organization or stand on the side of the Revolutionary League. The neutral camp does not exist. Even if it exists... it will soon be wiped out and annexed.
This is a chariot rushing into the abyss. Even if it jumps, it will be crushed by the high-speed rolling wheels.
"I know you are difficult to make a decision for a while, I can give you some time to consider... But now the battle is fierce on the surface, the Jiange Fortress may be broken by the Revolutionary Revolutionary Army at any time, I ask you to give me within six hours A clear answer, otherwise...will be regarded as a refusal to cooperate."
At the end of the meeting, everyone dispersed with the same but different feelings, leaving only Speaker Xia and in the basalt secret room.
"Will it... be too tight?" When the last congressman left, the speaker leaned close to Xia's ear and asked cautiously.
"Is it tight?" Xia's face showed a cold smile, "Do you think we still have time to waste?"
...
...
Although there is no threat of heavy artillery, the situation is still grim. With the huge casualties paid by the vanguard of the Revolutionary League, the Revolutionary League finally successfully conquered the Jianmenguan tunnel and arrived at the Jianmenguan Pass of the old era. Place.
The revolutionary forces of the Revolutionary League have formed a semi-siege situation on the Jiange Fortress, and it is possible to launch a general offensive at any time.
As for the logistics forces of the Revolutionary League, they have also moved to the foot of the mountain. Tens of thousands of heavy towing trucks are neatly lined up in the open space~EbookFREE.me~ It looks spectacular even from a few kilometers away.
The attack on the artillery positions made the League of Nations more vigilant, and saw many power armors carrying shields constantly patrolling the surroundings. The steel structure guard tower with a height of more than fifty meters was equipped with a large number of searchlights. The parking area is reflected like daylight.
The headquarters of the logistics unit is a mobile armored command vehicle. This command vehicle is parked in the middle of the position and is guarded by several tall mechas. These mechas are large-tonnage defensive mechas. The firepower is very weak, but the weight of the armor occupies more than half of the weight of the whole body, and it carries the general alloy tower shield like a city wall. For the G49 sniper gun, the problem of penetrating the tower shield and the mecha behind the tower shield may not be the problem. Great, but after that, the kinetic energy attached to the electromagnetic bomb has been almost consumed, and it is difficult to cause effective damage to the command vehicle.
What's more, this armored command vehicle itself is an iron tortoise. The electromagnetic bomb at the end of the crossbow may not penetrate half the thickness of the armor.
"It's too scary to die, it's a bit tricky..." By means of optical camouflage, Qi Lin touched it until he was less than two kilometers away from the Revolutionary Revolutionary Army's logistics force. He was almost on the nose of the outer patrol force. Bottom.
"The opponent already knows about your existence, and has accurately estimated the ultimate power of the G49 sniper gun. This protective shield array was originally designed to defend against your snipers." The main brain said.
