There is a small town 15 kilometers away from Yongye city. The town is basically deserted, and only the broken buildings are still surviving in the wind. Four days after the clean-up of Yongye City, the town welcomed a group of guests. After they arrived, they directly pushed down and leveled the dilapidated buildings in the town, and then set up military tents. Before long, the earth began to shake and cars drove into the town.
Just five cars have made the town crowded. The car stopped in the small square, and the surrounding buildings had been pushed flat. The war tent had been set up early in the morning, and the relevant equipment was being moved into the tent. After removing the tarpaulin, you can see a series of appliances such as plasma tactical board and smart brain.
Outside the town, a large number of troops are gathering, which is the joint army of the hall of the spirit and the parliamentary army. Of course, it is impossible for the army to enter the town, but to stop in the wilderness outside the town. The road leading to Yongye city was blocked and jointly managed by the armies of both sides to strictly control the vehicles entering Yongye city. Of course, there will be no vehicles driving to Yongye city now.
When zero entered the town, he saw that the town had been rapidly transformed into a temporary front-line command base. Dozens of staff officers and operators are debugging various equipment. The bustling scene of people coming and going swept the original silence of the town. The three men were taken by a guard to the tent serving as the command post. For the tent, the tent is more than 10 meters long and 5 meters wide. But it was crowded with Douglas, Cario, Paul, Leo and several members of the original Parliament.
Those who can stand here are either powerful or top strong. The small camp can't hold the aura when they get along.
"Come here." Douglas smiled and let zero come.
These big people are around a table. There is a sand table on the table. The above is a model made of a certain material. All models are made in strict accordance with a certain proportion. When they are arranged together, they form the whole picture of the eternal night city.
Of course, it's a reduced version of the eternal night city.
It is hard to imagine that in this era, people will still use physical sand tables. After all, compared with the time-consuming and laborious physical sand table, a three-dimensional site that can be adjusted at will is more efficient and convenient. Showing an unexpected expression at zero, Leo stood up and said, "this is purely a personal hobby. If you can't get used to it, I can call up a three-dimensional map for you."
"Did you do it?" zero asked.
Lei Ou nodded: "I personally do everything from the overall structure to the furnishings of a building."
"That's all he's interested in." Douglas squinted and said, "you don't need a three-dimensional map. Just use Leo's stuff. Anyway, he's also trying to show off his craft, so it's hard for us to cooperate with him."
When Douglas said this, everyone present laughed and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Douglas patted one of the strange men on the shoulder and said, "then let's listen to what information Mr. Rambo has brought us."
The congressman Rambo who attended the emergency meeting that day was patted on his shoulder. He nodded, circled one corner of the sand table model with his hand and said: "After the speaker drove us out that day, he surrounded the whole area. He set up an army, an army we had never seen before. I can responsibly tell you that oglock is not prepared to compromise."
Douglas raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "that's his style."
"In this area, the speaker has set up defense lines, barricades, secret sentries and many fire points. He wants to fight a hard battle, gentlemen," Rambo said with a fist.
Leo pointed to the area near oglock manor and said, "it has been very deep into the eternal night city, but fortunately, there are no important factories and facilities in this area. Even if there is a battle, our losses will not be great."
Zero looked at the sand table model, and there was a sign beside some models, indicating the functions of nearby areas or buildings, etc. zero frowned when comparing the model and the location of oglock's defense.
"What do you think?" Douglas asked.
Zero looked up. In fact, this was not his war. Besides, there were experienced veterans here. He didn't understand why Douglas asked for his opinion. Douglas shrugged and said, "it's okay. Just say it."
"OK." zero point pointed to the area around the manor and said, "if it were me, I wouldn't set up a defense zone here. Because this place has no danger to defend, and there are too many places to attack. Like here, these places are the ideal defense zone. Once I can't defend, I can detonate nearby buildings and cause great damage to the enemy."
The places referred to after zero are areas such as nuclear power plants and Arsenal. These areas have one thing in common. They all have energy supply pipelines. Once these pipelines are detonated, the whole area will be blasted. In terms of destructive power, it is absolutely enough to eat the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy people.
"Strange." when he said this, he tightened his zero brow: "why did oglock do this? Even I can see that the place he chose is not the most ideal defense area. He won't be too superficial to see. Such an arrangement is like..."
"Avoid greater losses to parliament," Douglas sighed.
Everyone in the former parliament, including Leo, was shocked. Douglas shook his head and said with a wry smile, "this is Ogg, a guy full of contradictions. He has his own pride, so he refused to compromise. But at the same time, he did give everything for the parliament. So even at this moment, he is not willing to destroy the hard-built parliament because of his personal relationship."
"Ogg is not a fool. He pushed the defensive area back and even built it in an insignificant area. What he asked for was to control the loss of Parliament to a minimum."
Shawna on one side suddenly said loudly, "let me talk to him. We are all friends. Why did we get this situation today!"
Leo looked at Douglas. The latter nodded and said, "although I don't think Ogg will give up, try it. Shawna, maybe there is room for a turning point. War is never the best way."
Shauna nodded, and Leo said to him, "I'll take you there."
The two opened the account.
Douglas closed his eyes and whispered, "Ogg, you guy. Is it so difficult to put down your pride? Stubborn old man."
Zero listens in the ear, silent.
At noon, the light was strong. An SUV drove along the road into the silent city of eternal night, on which Shawna kept smoking. When he took out the fifth one, Leo reached out, took off the cigarette, threw it away and said, "don't smoke, smoke again, and be careful to burn a hole in your lung."
Shawna said with a wry smile, "I'm very upset. On the way here, I've thought of several speeches, but I found that none of them can move Ogg."
"Is it so easy to impress Ogg? You and I all know how stubborn he is. In short, just say what you want. As for whether you can succeed, it depends on God's will."
"Providence." Shawna smiled. "I've been dealing with numbers all my life. I didn't expect the most important conversation to be decided by providence."
"Listen, old man, don't give yourself such a heavy burden. Even if Ogg finally chose the path we least want to see, it's his choice, not your fault, okay?" Leo patted Dr. Shawna on his thin shoulder.
Shauna nodded and stopped talking.
From a distance, we have seen the warning line of oglock. A barbed wire fence surrounds all the buildings in the defense area. There is no clearer sign than this. There was a sentry point outside the barbed wire fence, and several private soldiers were patrolling back and forth with guns. When they saw Leo's car, they all raised their guns. However, an invisible force field pressed down, but they couldn't move a finger.
Leo stopped the car, maintained the force field, and said in a deep voice: "this is Dr. schoner. He is a friend of speaker oglock. Now, he wants to talk to the speaker. I hope you put down your gun and don't force me to do something I don't want to do. Now, I withdraw back to the force field. Do you understand?"
Gradually the force field was retracted, and the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, one of the soldiers shouted, "please wait here. We'll inform the boss now."
Leo sat back and said, "Hey, boss. That's a new name."
"Those are the private forces of the dark chamber of Commerce," Shawna said.
Leo nodded: "I know, this is Ogg's last card."
Two minutes later, several soldiers removed the barricade. Before speaking, the soldier stood up and said, "the boss is waiting for you at his manor."
"OK." Leo restarted the car and the SUV drove into oglock's defense zone. Along the way, Leo saw large and small barricades, and private troops were everywhere. He said to Shawna, "Ogg is generous, so he exposed all the layout."
"To him, these soldiers, these arrangements are just embellishments," Shona shook his head.
"Yes, for him. Oglock is everything, this proud old man."
The car stopped outside the manor and there were no soldiers in the manor. But the old housekeeper of oglock waited at the door. Leo and Shawna came down. The housekeeper smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leo and Dr. Shawna. Because the servants have left, I can only wait for two here."
"The master is in the study. Please come with me."
Led by the housekeeper, the three entered the study. In the study, oglock was reading a book. He was dressed in comfortable clothes and put his crutch beside him. He looked completely leisurely. Seeing Leo and Shawna, he stood up with a smile: "look, my two old friends are coming. Mr. kuya, please give us a pot of first-class black tea."
"Just a moment, please." the housekeeper smiled and left.
"Come on, sit down." oglock asked Leo to sit on the sofa and said, "I'm surprised. I thought that guy Douglas would come."
"If he had come, you wouldn't have invited him to black tea," Leo said with a smile.
"Of course, I'll invite him to eat my fist." oglock smiled at Shawna. "So, my old friend. Are you here to be a lobbyist?"
Shawna smiled bitterly: "I had a lot to say just now, but now I can't say a word."
"Then don't say anything. We've known each other for so many years. I know exactly what you're going to say." oglock blinked. "And you know exactly how I'll answer."
Patting Shawna on the leg, oglock said, "no matter what happens in the future, we are good friends. Even that bastard Douglas, I never regarded him as an enemy. It's just that we have to stand in a hostile position."
Then the housekeeper came back, and he came in gracefully with his plate. There is a delicate teapot and three teacups with beautiful patterns on it. Put down the cup and fill it for the three, and the housekeeper withdrew.
"Try it, it's the best thing I've managed to get." oglock told the two men.
Leo took a sip, put down his tea cup and said, "Ogg, although you know our intention very well, I still have to say, is there really no room for a turning point? You know, after we leave, there will be an unavoidable war."
Oglock said lightly, "Leo, have you ever seen what I avoided? I have my persistence and my position. Maybe in the eyes of many people, I am stubborn and foolish. But in my heart, it is enough for me to believe that I am right."
Leo nodded. He looked at Shawna, sighed and said, "well, since you have given the answer, there's no need to say anything superfluous. We won't talk about it this afternoon. It's just a tea party. Anyway, how long have we not had tea together?"
"Let me see. The last time I drank tea, it was your boy's birth. It's almost twenty years."
"How time flies..."
The housekeeper stood outside the door, listening to the happy laughter that occasionally came out of the crack in the door. On the other side of the door was the leisure chat of three old friends. Oglock's laughter was the most heard by the housekeeper in the past ten years.
This afternoon, I spent it in a leisurely atmosphere.
Before nightfall, Leo and Shawna left, and oglock took them outside the manor. Watching the SUV go away, the smile on the speaker's face gradually disappeared. Finally, he whispered, "take care, old friend."
Turning and entering the manor, the iron door closed and cut off oglock's figure. Only parting whispers still linger in the night wind.
The next day, gunfire rang out in Yongye City, which meant that the war began.
Today, however, the attacks from Douglas were not dense, so although the gunfire echoed around the defense area, it seemed a little sparse. Oglock stood on the rooftop, leaning on crutches. The housekeeper stood behind him, straight as a statue.
"Douglas is still so cautious. Obviously, I have communicated all the arrangements in the defense area to him through Leo, but he still refuses to bet." oglock shook his head and said with a laugh: "But that's right. If you bet heavily, you won't have to fight this war. Mr. kuya, you know, it's fun to compete with old friends."
The housekeeper shrugged.
The gunfire was still ringing, and occasionally soldiers shouted and scolded. However, there were not too many casualties and damage. The first day of the battle ended in the evening with a little hasty smell.
In a small town outside Yongye City, Douglas was playing with Leo's sand table in the command camp. Douglas put some models representing enemy soldiers in a specific position. Leo looked at it and frowned: "the layout I saw yesterday was not like this."
"Do you think Ogg will be careless to let you bring out the information? He did it on purpose to lure me to attack here." Douglas smiled and pointed his finger at the rear of the manor. In Leo's observation, oglock's firepower here is the weakest: "An obvious trap, isn't it? I bet augg will surprise us if he tries his best to break through this place today."
Leo listened and stood up: "so let's meet at the manor. It's a trap in itself."
Douglas stood up and said, "from the moment he let you into the defense zone, the war has actually begun."
"What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Douglas shrugged and said: "There is no special strategy. I will let sol and other children try their best to dismantle their defense. Apart from the combat power of the top strong, we are completely in an advantage in the secondary combat power. There is no need to pay attention to the so-called strategy and push. Ogg also knows this, so after dismantling the defense, I will go to see him. At that time, it is the real drama."
"To tell you the truth, I wish he would leave," said Leo.
Douglas nodded and said, "me too. It's a pity he won't. because he's oglock."
The next day, sol was the leader in the Yingling hall. Valkiri, Loki and other capable people poured out, and even kario joined the attack sequence. Leo sent out his own family strong people and school official capable people of blood riding. This is undoubtedly a powerful array. Even if the army trained privately by oglock is excellent, it can't withstand the attack of so many fierce people Attack.
Oglock spent the morning in a deafening explosion. He stood on the rooftop and looked around. The whole defense line was full of flying flames and lightning. But when the fire flickered, the smile on oglock's face remained the same. In the evening, the defense line was paralyzed. With the acquiescence of oglock, the remaining soldiers chose to surrender. Douglas let them leave. When dawn came on the third day, Douglas appeared alone in the city of eternal night.
A man, a gun, walked like a walk towards oglock's manor.
