Feast of villains

Chapter 179 180. Sustainable Warfare
The night is already deep.

The three of them didn't want to take a break so soon, so they wandered around the trail in Tseung Kwan O at Tokisaki's suggestion.

Wet cars crossed back and forth, and the yellow and broad fallen leaves of the street trees were stuck to the trunks by the rain, flapping their wings like a crescent moon.Nance opened his coat and wrapped Sister Reina in, protecting her from the cold night wind.

After the fire, Tseung Kwan O was in a mess everywhere.

In the direction of the port, a cargo ship that had been unloaded to reveal its waterline floated motionless as if it had been abandoned.

The white paint of the freighter has become red and rusty, and it is densely covered with shells, like the hard scars on a patient's body after healed abscess.Tokisaki looked at the freighter, sighed, and said, "I really hope to get through this difficult time soon..."

"Under the wise leadership of Adjutant Tokisaki, this day will come soon!" Nance complimented.

The adjutant gave him a blank look.

Sister Reina hid in Nance's arms, covering her mouth and giggling.

For an ignorant nun who is deeply in love, all the suffering is just a short test from God... She has lived an extremely happy life now, which can be seen from her silly, demented eyes You can see it.

The rain is gradually decreasing.

The chat between the three of them also became casual.

The surroundings are shrouded in humid air, and there are still drops of water hanging under the eaves and on the leaves.

Passing by a late-night bar, low-ceilinged, overcrowded rooms, walls blackened by innumerable human encounters.The sound of abuse and disturbance poured out from inside.

When Tokisaki walked past the door, someone inside shouted: "Hey, Miss, come and play, you can pay as much as you want..."

Nance frowned and looked over.

The adjutant lady's temperament is particularly prominent in this kind of place where filth is hidden, so it's not surprising that she would be teased with words.He was not a soft-hearted person either. He glanced inside and shouted, "If you want to die, shout again."

"Hey. I want to see who is so loud..."

The drunk who had spoken came out of the bar door, reeking of bad schnapps.

The people living in Tseung Kwan O are from the bottom class of society, and there are many cases of drinking and making trouble in this area every night.Just as Nance was about to make a move, the drunk man was kicked from behind and fell to the side of the road with a thud.

"Looking for death!"

"You don't even look at who that is!"

"Miss Tokisaki, can you offend me..."

After a few aggressive shouts, a group of people rushed out, punching and kicking the drunk man.A strong man who looked at some status ran to the front, bowed and apologized to Tokizaki respectfully: "I'm sorry, I don't know where this guy is from, I will teach him for you."

"It's better not to seriously injure people." Tokisaki said generously.

"Okay, I'll tell them right now..." The strong man turned his head, shouted at the group of people who were fighting, and then turned around, forcing a cute smile on his face full of flesh, " Miss Tokisaki, for everything you have done for Shin-Yokohama, let me put it this way: whoever has trouble with you is the one who can't get along with me, Hu Dabao!"

That smile is really ugly.

But that was not a joke.

People living in Tseung Kwan O always don’t have enough to eat, their clothes always have holes, the heating in the room is always not warm, and nothing is cheap except for artificial schnapps. And many more.People who live in this kind of place may have worn out their humanity... But if they can meet a big shot who sincerely works for them, they will respect them wholeheartedly.

After the episode was over, Nance shook his head and sighed rather disinterestedly.

"Is there anything bothering you?" Sister Reina asked caringly.

"Yes." Nance said distressedly.

Tokisaki looked sideways.

Nance also turned to look at her, and said fiercely: "Just now that person really meddled too much, wasting my chance to be a hero to save the beauty!"

Tokisaki couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

With a slightly flushed face, she glared at her boss angrily: "Section Head, please be serious!"

Nance had a hippie grin on his face.

It was one of his pleasures to make the serious lady adjutant laugh in an unprincipled way.

In the darkness, Sister Reina inserted her finger between Nance's fingers, quietly glanced at Ozaki with her big eyes... Nansi and I were happy, and Ozaki couldn't let go, she thought.

Going a little further, there is a self-service barbecue restaurant on the side of the road.

The environment was not very good, but there were not many people. Nance took them in and sat down in a corner by the window.

Eating barbecue on a cold rainy night, just listening to it is a matter of enjoyment.After Tokisaki and Reina sat down, he went to fetch two large pots of vegetables and juice, and made a fire to grill by himself.

Sister Reina sat by his side, flickering flames in her eyes.

An innocent expression appeared on her sweet oval face, just looking at it made people feel beautiful.

Tokisaki looked at Reina's mother who was much more childish, a little funny, but also a little tired.Someone next door was taking pictures here, and she didn't bother to pay attention to it. She stared at Nance intently: "The incident between you and Sister Marlene is known all over the city. I don't care, because Sister Marlene can face it alone. But Lei Na can't, she's so innocent, she can't face too turbulent rumors."

"Ok?"

Sister Reina didn't know why Kozaki suddenly said this.

He wanted to speak, but Kozaki blinked at her, signaling her not to speak yet.

Nance turned over a few skewers of beef with one hand, and poured a few glasses of juice for her with the other: "Of course I know this."

Tokisaki took a sip and looked at him: "Then can I ask the section chief how he plans to solve it?"

“其实吧，这事没那么复杂。”南斯往牛肉上吐着酱料，用非常平淡的语气回答，“讨厌了就揍，喜欢了就去爱，这样才能开心点。思前想后顾虑太多， It just makes people uncomfortable."

Tokisaki was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "I shouldn't have thought about it, but the identity of sister Reina is really a big problem."

Nance laughed: "She has three identities, which one are you referring to?"

Sister Reina, who had been obediently listening to the two, opened her mouth and said, "Reina has only one nun status now."

"Don't interrupt!" Nance handed her a bunch of beef.

"Oh."

Sister Reina is as cute as a little girl.

The fragrant roast beef was stuffed into her mouth, and her mouth and heart became extremely satisfied.

Nan Si also handed a bunch of beef to Shi Qi: "Nun, eldest lady, and prospective princess, these three identities have a lot of background."

"That's right." Tokisaki took the beef and put it in his mouth.

"But so what? The background is not small, should I shrink back?" Nance bit down, feeling the smell of meat in his mouth, and sighed contentedly: "A woman so noble and beautiful showed her love to me, Even if I risk my life, I won't let her suffer any more grievances. No matter which one is picked out first, I will be ruthless and merciless. Otherwise, I will regret it for the rest of my life... Although it is troublesome now It’s a little bit, but it’s not impossible. Since I dare to say that, it means that I already have the guarantee for Leina’s future life.”

"Hmm~"

Sister Reina narrowed her eyes happily.

Such a bold show of love, still in front of Ozaki, she felt very shy.But unable to hold back the truth in her heart, she gradually tilted her head uncontrollably, leaning intimately on Nance's arm.

What a happy life it would be to live with him...

Tokizaki chewed the barbecue, and said to his superior angrily, "The section chief is too complacent."

"It can't be said to be complacent, it's just that I know what I want." Nance said, turning his head to look at the bright lights of the island area in the distance, "Miss Tokisaki, look, those buildings are really beautiful. Modern, full of technology. But no matter how I look at it, I feel that it is just a crumbling mansion. Across the sea, all I can see is tyranny, blackmail, debt, mortgage, oppression, hunger and pain .”

Tokisaki also turned his head to look over.

The far side above the dilapidated houses in the slums is full of light, and the night is lit up.

"In California, people are enslaved by the island; in the Empire, people are enslaved by the nobles represented by the royal family." Nance put the second round of ingredients on the grill and said while grilling, "This heavy mountain, It must also be handed over to someone who is more qualified to overthrow, to gradually free the citizens of the empire from the oppression, and to make less suffering for the next generation of the suffering people who have been forced intolerable but cannot do without it."

Tokisaki looked back at him, "Please forgive my curiosity, but I really want to know what the section chief is for."

"It's to keep everyone alive, it's as simple as that." Nance flexibly used the tongs and turned over all the ingredients, "Capitalism is a system that is bound to be destroyed, and no one can change this when it comes. New As the most developed region in the entire empire, Yokohama is still showing signs of destruction. When the internal contradictions of a political system are too large to be reconciled, foreign wars are the only way to survive..."

When she said this, the face of the adjutant lady became tense in an instant.

She seemed to smell something.

What are you talking about... Sister Reina looked at the two innocently.

"When I was collecting information on grain merchants these days, I found some very interesting points." Nance said, his hands stopped inadvertently, "Nearly one-third of the grain hoarded by California's major grain merchants One, it was transported away by Shuichi Akasaka, and his whereabouts are unknown. More than [-]% of some grains and oils that can be stored relatively are in his hands."

Tokisaki stretched out his hand tacitly, and took the clip from the section chief.

She started to barbecue, and Nance folded his hands on the table when his hands were free. He collected his thoughts and said, "In addition to hoarding a large amount of food, I also hacked into the systems of major banks and checked the capital flow of many Tokyo-based companies." Guess what? Half of the annual net profit of these companies, in some form, has entered the name of the company controlled by Shuichi Akasaka."

"So, he's been hoarding food and possessions, and it's been a while..." Tokisaki said, coating the barbecue with sauce.

Nance took a sip of the juice before continuing: "Also, he is also frantically hoarding energy."

"How do you know that?"

"I have a relatively deep friendship with the Evelace Group."

"Sigh~"

Tokisaki was shocked.

The Evelyn Group is the largest energy giant in the world. When did the section chief get on line with the other party?She stares at her boss with eager "tell me" eyes, but he ignores her and tells her to roast his share.

joke.

How do I tell you this?
Do you want me to tell you that your most beloved section chief is the little lover raised by the female president of Evelace Group?
When she finished grilling the meat, Nance couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

Hot grease exploded in his mouth.

"Well, it's hot, it's so hot, it's delicious..."

Seeing him looking so hot that he wanted to vomit but was reluctant because of the delicious taste, Tokizaki lifted his chin lightly and showed a little smug smile.

Sister Reina also ate a piece, and asked, "What is Akasaka repairing all these things for?"

"What else is there to do, of course it's a war!" Nance swallowed his food and sighed contentedly, "The internal conflicts have reached the point of irreconcilability, if he doesn't pick an external conflict, he will be killed first. Within ten years, no, within five years, he will definitely start looking for trouble. It just so happens that I can deal with him at a time when he is not ready enough to make him uncomfortable..."

Tokisaki couldn't believe it: "Is he crazy?"

"He would be crazy if he didn't fight." Nance said, "Although I have never been out of California, the Internet is so developed now that a quick dip in the Internet is enough to understand the situation in the whole country. The situation in the entire empire is not safe. Shuichi Akasaka took the lead in provoking the war, and the remaining autonomous prefectures, even if they did not respond, would not be able to support the empire. The empire itself is a mess. Contradictions, they don't think about suppressing the rebellion overnight... although they don't have the strength."

"You mean..." Tokisaki frowned, "Is the empire acquiescing to Akasaka Shuichi's treason?"

"It's hard to say if you don't acquiesce, but because of this matter, the high-level executives are arguing with each other and their attitudes are ambiguous." Nance sneered, "Just think about it, directly hacking into the military system and using plasma cannons to bomb the cabinet directly under the government, this kind of thing Undoubtedly, it’s slapping shit on the face of the empire. How about the reaction of the empire? The old man of the emperor, the twelve ministers of the cabinet, the speaker of the National Assembly, the Supreme Court... From top to bottom, apart from condemning, which department actually took action?"

"They, they..." Tokisaki swallowed hard, his hands trembling slightly, "Why did the empire do this..."

"Didn't I say that the empire itself is already full of contradictions." Nance stretched out his hand and gently pressed the back of her trembling hand, "The most convenient way to solve internal conflicts is to provoke an external conflict with the same hatred. Since ancient times None of the politicians in the past is not good at this trick. The people are very fond of this trick. Their emotions seem to come from the heart and are completely controlled by themselves, but in fact they are all secretly manipulated by the state's propaganda strategy..."

Tokisaki was dazed for a while, then murmured: "Once the fight starts, the whole world will be in chaos."

"No, no, Miss Tokisaki, you are still too naive." Nance smiled, picked up the cup, took a sip of the juice, then closed his eyes and thought for a long time.In the darkness, there was a soft sigh, he opened his eyes, and said: "The basic act of war is destruction, and what can be destroyed is not necessarily life, but more of the destruction of human surplus labor products, reinvigorating the enthusiasm of laborers. Production enthusiasm... Both sides have a tacit understanding of partial confrontation to consume each other, but they are not in a hurry to conquer each other. This is called sustainable war..."
