There is a small town 15 kilometers away from Yongye city. The town is basically deserted, only the dilapidated buildings are still surviving in the wind. Four days after Yongye city was cleaned up, a group of guests came to the town. When they arrived, they directly pushed down the dilapidated buildings in the town, leveled them, 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 seem crowded. The car stopped in the small square, and the surrounding buildings had been flattened, the field tent had been built early in the morning, and the related equipment was being moved into the tent. When you remove the tarpaulin, you can see a series of tools such as plasma tactical board and brain.
Outside the town, a large number of troops were gathering, a coalition of the hall of souls and the Council forces. 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 managed by the two armies, and the vehicles entering Yongye city were strictly controlled. Of course, there will be no vehicles going to Yongye city now.
Zero into the town, see the town has been quickly transformed into a temporary front-line command base. Dozens of staff and operators are debugging all kinds of equipment, and the bustling scene of people sweeping away the original silence of the town. 03 people were taken to the tent as the command post by a guard. The tent, which is more than 10 meters long and 5 meters wide, is very spacious. But it was crowded with Douglas, carlio, Paul, Leo and a few members of the former Parliament.
The one who can stand here is not a powerful man, but a top strong man. The small camp can't hold the atmosphere when they get along with each other.
"Come here." Douglas smiles and asks zero to come over.
These big men are surrounded by a table, on which there is a sand table. The above models are made of certain materials. All models are made in strict accordance with a certain proportion. When they are arranged together, they form a panoramic view of the whole Yongye city.
Of course, it's a miniature version of Yongye city.
It's hard to imagine that there will still be people using physical sand tables in this era. After all, compared with the time-consuming and laborious physical sand table, a three-dimensional site that can be moved at will is more efficient and convenient. In zero show unexpected expression, Leo said: "this is purely a personal hobby, if you don't like it, I can give you a stereo map."
"What did you do?" Asked zero.
Leo nodded: "from the overall structure to the decoration of a building, I do it myself."
"That's what he's interested in." Douglas squinted and said, "you don't need a stereo map, just use Leo's stuff. Anyway, he's also trying to show off his skills, so it's hard for us to cooperate with him. "
When Douglas said that, everyone on the scene laughed and the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
Douglas patted one of the strange men on the shoulder and said, "well, let's hear what kind of information Mr. Rambo has brought us."
It was Mr. Rambo, who attended the emergency meeting that day, who was patted on the shoulder. He nodded, circled one corner of the sand table model with his hand and said, "after the speaker drove us all out that day, he circled the whole area. There's an army, an army we've never seen before. I can tell you responsibly that ogrock is not ready to compromise. "
Douglas raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "that's his style."
"In this area, the speaker has set up defensive lines, barricades, secret sentries and many fire points. He wants a hard fight, gentlemen Rambo waved his fist and said.
Leo pointed to the area near ogrock manor and said: "it's already very deep into Yongye city. Fortunately, there are no important factories and facilities in this area. Even if there is a battle, we will not lose much after that. "
Looking at the sand table model, there is a sign beside some models, which indicates the nearby area or the function of the building, etc. Zero compared the position of the model and oglock, frowned.
"What do you think?" Asked Douglas.
Zero raised his head. In fact, this is not his war. And there are plenty of experienced veterans here. He doesn't understand why Douglas asked for his own opinions. Douglas shrugged and said, "it doesn't matter. Just say it."
"All right." He pointed to the manor and said, "if it were me, I would not set up a defense zone here. Because there is no danger to defend this place, there are too many places to attack. These places, like here, are ideal defense areas. If I can't defend it, I can detonate nearby buildings and cause great damage to the enemy. "
The places that zero later referred to were areas like nuclear power plants and arms factories. These areas have one thing in common, they all have energy supply pipelines. Once these pipes are detonated, the whole area will be blasted. As far as the destructive power is concerned, it is absolutely enough to eat the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of enemy troops."Strange." At this point, zero brow tighter: "why did oglock do this. Even I can see that the place he chose is not the most ideal defense area. He will not be too superficial to see it. This kind of arrangement is like... "
"To avoid greater losses to Parliament." Douglas sighed and said.
Everyone in the former parliament, including Leo, was shocked. Douglas shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "this is Ogg, a guy full of contradictions. He has his own pride, so he won't compromise. But at the same time, he did give everything for Parliament. So even at such a time, he is not willing to destroy the Council which he has worked hard to build because of his own relationship. "
"Ogg is not a fool, he pushed back the defensive area, even built in an insignificant area. Those who are seeking are merely to keep the losses of the parliament to a minimum. "
On one side, shawner suddenly said in a loud voice: "let me talk to him. We are all friends. Why do we have such a situation today?"
Leo looked at Douglas, who nodded: "I don't think Ogg will give up, but try it. Shawner, maybe, there's still room for change. War is not the best way. "
Shawner nodded, and Leo said to him, "I'll take you there."
Two people lift the account and come out.
Douglas closed his eyes and whispered, "Ogg, you guy. Is it so difficult to let go of your pride? Stubborn old thing. "
Zero listening in the ear, silent.
At noon, the sky was bright. An off-road vehicle drove down the road into the silent city of eternal night, where shawner kept smoking. When he took out the fifth one, Leo reached for the cigarette, threw it away and said, "don't smoke any more. Be careful to burn a hole in your lung."
Shawner said with a wry smile, "I'm very upset. On the way here, I've thought about several sets of speeches, but I find that none of them can move Ogg. "
"Is it so easy to impress Ogg? You and I all know how stubborn he is. In a word, just say it according to your heart. As for whether we can succeed or not, it depends on God's will. "
"Providence." Shawner laughed: "I've been dealing with numbers all my life. I didn't expect that the most important conversation would be decided by providence."
"Listen, old man, don't burden yourself so much. Even if Ogg finally chooses the path we least want to see, it's his choice, not your fault, understand? " Leo slapped Dr. shawner on the thin shoulder.
Shawner nodded and stopped talking.
We have seen the cordon of oglock from a distance. A barbed wire fence has surrounded all the buildings in the defense area. There is no clearer sign than this. There was a sentinel outside the barbed wire, and several private soldiers were walking back and forth with guns. When they saw Leo's car, they all raised their guns. However, an invisible force field pressed them down, which made them unable to move a finger.
Leo stopped the car, maintained the field and said in a deep voice, "this is Dr. shawner. He's a friend of speaker oglock. Now, he wants to have a good talk with the speaker. I hope you put down your guns and don't force me to do something I don't want to do. Now, I'm going back to the force field. Do you understand me? "
Gradually the force field was withdrawn, and the soldiers were relieved. After looking at each other, one of the soldiers called out, "please wait here. We'll inform the boss now."
Leo sat back and said, "Hey, boss. It's a new term. "
"Those are the private forces of the dark chamber of Commerce." Shawner said.
Leo nodded: "I know, this is Ogg's last card."
Two minutes later, several soldiers moved away from the roadblock. Before speaking, the soldier stood up and said, "the boss is waiting for you at his manor."
"All right." Leo rebooted the car, and the SUV drove into oglock's defense zone. Along the way, Leo saw barricades big and small, and private troops everywhere. He said to shawner, "Ogg is so generous that he exposes all the arrangements."
"To him, these soldiers, these arrangements are just embellishments." Shawner shook his head.
"Yes, for him. Oglock is everything, proud old man
The car stopped outside the manor, and there was no soldier on the manor. But oglock's old housekeeper was waiting at the door. Leo and shawner came down. The housekeeper said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Leo and Dr. shawner. Since the servants have left, I can only wait for them here. "
"The master is in the study. Please follow me."
Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the three entered the study. In the study, oglock was reading a book. He was dressed in comfortable living clothes, and his crutches were beside him. He looked completely leisurely. Seeing Leo and shawner, he stood up with a smile: "look, my two old friends are here. Mr. cuya, a pot of good black tea, please"Just a moment, please." The housekeeper left with a smile.
"Come on, sit down." Oglock asked Leo and him to sit on the sofa and said, "I was surprised. I thought Douglas would come over."
"If he had come, you would not have invited him to drink black tea." Leo laughs.
"Of course, I'll invite him to eat my fist." Oglock looked at shawner with a smile: "well, my old friend. Are you here to be a lobbyist? "
Shawner wry smile: "just now, I have a lot to say. But now, I can't say a word. "
"Then don't say anything. We've known each other for so many years, and I know exactly what you're going to say. " Oglock blinked and said, "and you know exactly what I'm going to say."
Patting shawner on the leg, oglock said, "no matter what happens in the future, we are good friends. Even Douglas, I never thought of him as an enemy. It's just that we have to stand in a hostile position. "
Then the housekeeper came back. He came in gracefully with the plate. There is a delicate teapot and three teacups with beautiful patterns on it. Put down the cup and fill it for three people, then the housekeeper went out.
"Try it. It's the best I've managed to get." Oglock's understanding of both humanity.
Leo took a sip, put down his cup and said, "Ogg, although you know what we're here for. But I still have to say, is there really no room for turning things around? You know, when we leave, the next step is the inevitable war. "
O'glock said faintly, "Leo, have you ever seen me avoid anything? I have my insistence, my position. Perhaps in the eyes of many people, I am stubborn and stupid. But in my heart, I believe I'm right, that's enough. "
Leo nodded. He looked at shawner, sighed and said, "well, now that you've given the answer. Then there's no need to say anything extra. Let's not talk about it this afternoon. Think of it as a tea party. After all, how long have we not had tea together? "
"Let me see, the last time I had tea, it was your boy who was born. It's nearly 20 years. "
"How time flies..."
The housekeeper stood outside, listening to the occasional laughter coming out of the crack in the door. On the other side of the door, three old friends chatted in their spare time. Oglock's laughter is the most that the housekeeper has heard in the past ten years.
This afternoon, in a leisurely atmosphere.
Before nightfall, Leo and shawner leave, and oglock escorts them to the outside of the manor. Watching the SUV gradually go away, the smile on the speaker's face gradually disappeared, and finally whispered: "take care, old friend."
He turned and walked into the manor. The iron door was closed and oglock's figure was cut off. Only the whispers of parting still linger in the night wind.
The next day, gunfire broke out in Yongye City, which means the war began.
Today, however, the attacks from Douglas are not intensive, so although the gunfire reverberates around the defense area, it seems a little sparse. Oglock stood on the roof, leaning on crutches. The housekeeper stood behind him, as straight as a statue.
"Douglas is still so cautious. Obviously, I have passed on all the arrangements in the defense area to him through Leo, but he still refuses to make such a bet. " Oglock shook his head and said with a wry smile, "but that's right. If you bet heavily, you don't have to fight this battle. You know, Mr. cuya, it's fun to compete with old friends. "
The housekeeper shrugged, noncommittal.
The gunfire was still going on, and occasionally the soldiers yelled and scolded. But there were not too many casualties and damage. The first day of fighting ended in the dusk with a bit of carelessness.
Douglas is playing with Leo's sand table in the camp outside Yongye town. Douglas put some models representing enemy soldiers in specific positions. Leo looked at them and frowned. "That's not what I saw yesterday."
"Do you think Ogg is careless enough to let you bring out the information? He did it on purpose, to tempt me to attack here. " Douglas smiles and points his finger at the rear of the manor. In Leo's observation, oglock's firepower here is the weakest: "it's an obvious trap, isn't it? I'll bet Ogg will give us a surprise if we try our best to break through to this place today. "
"So let's go to the manor and meet each other. It's a trap in itself," Leo said
Douglas stood up and said, "from the moment he let you into the defense area, the war has actually begun.""What are you going to do tomorrow?"
Douglas shrugged and said, "there's no special strategy. I'll let sol and the other kids do their best to tear down their defense. Apart from the fighting power of the top strong, we are completely superior in the fighting power of the second level. There is no need to pay attention to the so-called strategy at all, just push it. Ogg knows that too, so I'll see him when the defence is down. At that time, it was the real drama. "
"To be honest, I'd like him to leave." Leo road.
Douglas nodded and said, "me too, but he won't. Because he's oglock. "
The next day, the hall of heroes was headed by sol, and valkiri, rocky and other capable people poured out. Even carrio joined the attack. Leo sent out his own strong family, as well as the ability of the school official level of blood riding. This is undoubtedly a strong lineup. No matter how good the army oglock trained in private is, it can't withstand the attack of so many fierce men.
This morning, oglock spent in the deafening explosion. He stood on the rooftop, looking around, the whole defense line was full of flames and lightning. Only under the flash of fire, the smile on oglock's face remained the same. In the evening, the defense line was paralyzed. With the tacit consent of oglock, the remaining soldiers chose to surrender. Douglas allowed them to leave. On the third day, when dawn came, Douglas appeared alone in Yongye city.
A man, a gun, walked like a walk towards the estate of oglock.
