Him and their stars

Yu Lian opened his mouth slightly, but for a moment nothing came out.

He suddenly realized that what the other party said was quite reasonable. Some rioting workers were indeed just a trivial matter. They only occupy a construction site, not a densely populated city, which is even more of a minor problem.

However, the big problem is not the riots, but whether the rioters will cause more problems.

Although due to the investment from the Alliance and Red Star, the new Yumen is undergoing extensive construction and absorbing a large number of sand people's labor force, these natives of this planet finally feel like they are about to enter modern society. Don't forget, just a few years ago, the blood of hundreds of thousands of sand people was spilled outside Tulon City.

One careless move may become the spark that detonates the powder keg.

If it were a normal day, it would have detonated. With the current strength of the Sand people, it is almost impossible to gather a million troops to besiege Tulong again as they did a few years ago. With the layout and strength jointly invested in Xinyumen, it is easy to complete this suppression.

But now, after all, it is a troubled time.

Yu Lian had a sullen face and looked directly at Akinayama Hachiman's dead fish eyes hidden under his glasses: "Two hours?"

"Two hours." Akinayama Hachiman repeated. However, he still pushed up his glasses and said without changing his expression: "Actually, this is a metaphor. Anyway, by the time you arrive, it must have been solved. If not, I would rather engage in military law."

"I'm listening." Yu Lian said coldly.

After closing the communication, Yu Lian thought for a while and then connected the communication with his old comrades who were still in Tulong.

What appeared on the screen was Dr. Banks Shazabi, whom he had not seen for a long time. It was the No. 14 Military Station where we had served together, fought bugs together, broken through the siege together, and finally participated in the Battle of Tulon. One of my old comrades.

It may be said that it has been a long time, but in fact, Yu Lian has not completely lost contact with his "old" comrades who served for the first time. He even formed a chat group to occasionally chat with each other during holidays and festivals. Send a red envelope. Even the lady from the measurement unit would still have a few words with the girl.

Of course, as Yu Lian's status and reputation slowly increased, no matter how "people-friendly" he behaved, everyone became more and more polite to him. This cannot be changed by human will.

Even so, Yu Lian still believes that the two old comrades who are still in Xinyumen are worthy of entrusting them with something.

One of them is Uncle Carl Johnson, a native technician who has become a first-class sergeant major. He was appreciated by his superior (sister) at first, and he was stationed in Tulong and was responsible for the maintenance of various technical equipment.

There is more money, less work and safety, and the old man is very happy. He was ready to finish the last year of his contract, so he accepted Yu Lian's invitation to join the design unit under Red Star Office and use his remaining talents for a few more years.

As for military doctor Banks, he is also a college student after all, so he has the rank of second lieutenant and now works at the Military General Hospital in Tulon. He is also planning to retire after his last year and return to a big hospital in his hometown to find a job and live a happy life.

After all, Second Lieutenant Banks only graduated from a hospital with a low reputation, and his academic qualifications were really unconvincing. However, if he had a resume as a military doctor or even an officer, it would make up for the birth problem. In addition, it is said that it is because his younger brother, who is studying at university in the Empire, is about to graduate and there is no need to risk his life to save for tuition.

The garrison members who served at Depot No. 14 were actually temporary contract soldiers. They were more employees than professional soldiers. Therefore, after so many years, they are the only two people who are still serving in the Xinyumen Local Guard Force - Ina is now affiliated with the Thirteenth Fleet.

If these two people knew that there would be another fight in Xinyumen, they would not have signed another four-year service contract just for the last salary.

Of course, although this is not nice to say, their misfortune is indeed Yu Lian's luck. At least, with them around, Yu Lian wouldn't know anything about the local situation.

"Isn't Mr. Carl here?" Yu Lian glanced at the holographic projection. The background was a small repair shop, which should be Mr. Carl's maintenance shop.

As far as he knew, the two of them had done some private work in the past two years.

Uncle Carl opened a small shop in Tulon and hired several apprentices. He claimed that he was undertaking the maintenance business of various vehicles, vehicles and machines. In fact, Dr. Banks will bring malfunctioning medical devices to his workshop for repair, and reimburse them at two-thirds or even half of the original manufacturer's charges.

Even so, the profits made by the two of them were considerable. The leaders above also felt that although Dr. Banks' medical skills were only second-hand, his ability to do things was really good.

Thus, a perfect world in which everyone benefited was achieved without the original factory cutting leeks in different ways.

Doctor Banks said: "Sergeant Carl took his team to Mount Kililuo and prepared to help the Red Maple Factory open the mountain there?"

"Open a mountain?" I didn't know that the military's maintenance team also had this function.

Yu Lian did know that according to everyone's original plan, the machinery parts factory and the heavy shipbuilding factory were expected to be put into operation the year after next. However, the metallurgical base built here by the Hongfeng Factory is preparing to start production in the first quarter of next year. of. Because the infrastructure construction of New Yumen requires a large amount of steel. As a result, mining will have to catch up immediately.

However, no matter how tight the time is and how heavy the task is, it is not urgent enough to have to use the military, right?

Doctor Banks immediately explained that when the workers at the Red Maple Factory were preparing to build the mine, they didn't know if there was a problem with the magnetic field there, and the heavy equipment used to open the mine had inexplicably broken several times. So, the people from Red Maple Factory simply slapped their heads, asked the military for help, and directly bombarded them with phase cannons.

The heads of the local military, Hachiman and Simon, felt that this could still be implemented. After all, they even demolished the fortress back then, and now they are demolishing it again

So Uncle Carl, who was responsible for maintaining heavy equipment, followed.

Well, it is indeed the style of the guys from Hongfeng Factory, and I like it very much. The key is to dare to think and execute, which is even more satisfying. Yu Lian thought.

Having said this, Dr. Banks seemed to have thought of something and hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Yu Lianda say: "I know what you want to say, but this has nothing to do with the ruins of the Enlightened One we encountered in the mountains. Although they are all located at the foothills of Mount Kililo, the construction site of the steel plant is at least three to four hundred miles away from the ruins."

"oh……"

Dr. Banks nodded, with a look of enlightenment as if what you said makes sense and I completely believe it.

"Actually, sir, I had forgotten about that place," he said.

Although the doctor is a little greasy, he has always been a smart man.

Yu Lian smiled lightly and asked again: "So, what happened to Tulong's kidnapping incident?"

This verbal riot did indeed occur very suddenly.

The incident happened after 5 pm in the evening. At that time, everyone was building a freight light rail between the Machinery Parts Factory and Tulon Airport. The workers erected an alloy column five hundred meters away from the airport terminal building, laid out the balancer, and then prepared for today's dinner. But at this moment, a group of sand workers suddenly took out weapons from the dining car that had just arrived, and howled towards the terminal building half a kilometer away.

Let’s not mention the reason for their riot, but the purpose of their actions is quite clear. You know, the wealthy people in Tulong and the entire Xinyumen are waiting in the terminal every day, hoping to get on the only scheduled passenger ship every day to escape back to the mainland.

Even the (nominal) leader of the entire colonial sector, Governor Jiang Yudong, is always on standby in the terminal.

Of course, according to the star district government, the Governor will not escape and will definitely coexist and die with all the citizens of the New World Star District. The old man moved his office to the hotel in the terminal building to maintain order at the airport nearby.

In short, if this group of rampant sand people were allowed to rush into the terminal building, they would definitely be able to take the most valuable hostages in Tulon and even the entire New World sector.

If it had been before the Tulon Incident in 829, maybe they would have really succeeded.

But it is now 832, and it has been almost two years since the backbone of the Thirteenth Fleet and the "Youth Club" took over all defense in the New World. The garrison troops at key positions have long been replaced by stormtroopers directly under the fleet and marines from the mainland for support, but they are so much higher than the garrison.

The airport garrison responded quickly and immediately gave the sand residents a head-on blow. There were less than fifty sand residents who rioted, but more than thirty people were shot dead on the spot. The remaining thugs jumped on their dining cars, rushed to the construction site of the machinery factory, occupied a large factory building that had just been repaired, and took dozens of hostages to resist.

Now, the two sides have been facing off for more than ten hours.

"This is the whole process of this attack. Well, it's really not a big deal. The city has already returned to normal. Over at the airport, today's scheduled ship also came and evacuated another two thousand people. People." Dr. Banks concluded: "You see, Sergeant Carl's workshop is also open for business."

"Where are the casualties?"

"During the conflict at the airport, two security members and an airport staff member were injured. When the mob retreated to the factory, a gunfight still broke out, but because they had heard gunshots before, the engineers at the Red Maple Factory organized workers They quickly evacuated the scene. A total of eight workers were hit by stray bullets, but they were helped down by co-workers. All the injured were properly treated and are all fine."

Dr. Banks was on duty at the hospital at the time, so his words were naturally authoritative.

Having said this, the doctor was also impressed. He felt that the workers who came to support from the Red Maple Factory, whether they were humans or Rumina, with their organizational skills and calmness, as long as they were given a gun, they would definitely be able to shoot better than most of the security guards here.

The unlucky guy who was kidnapped in the end was because he was debugging the machine in the factory and didn't hear the gunshots, so he was blocked by the Sand People thugs inside. This was indeed an unforeseen disaster.

"Now, those thugs have been blocked in the factory. If they weren't afraid of accidentally injuring the hostages, they would have been solved long ago.

Doctor Banks pondered for a moment and then added: "Actually, the news of the raiders' invasion has been circulating for a week, so the sand riots are not a big deal at all. Everyone was indeed panicked at first, but life still has to go on. Generally speaking, the entire planet is still in order. After all, the situation in the city is much quieter than when millions of sand people besieged the city, so don't worry."

If Yu Lian still doesn't believe what he said, the pressure on the doctor will be too great.

However, after turning off the communication, he still fell into deep thought. A few minutes later, a blackboard was casually set up and words such as "Sand People Uprising," "Snake," "Predator," and "Alliance" were written on it.

He frowned and held his chin, staring at the blackboard and thinking for a long time. After consuming two lollipops and an ebony scepter, he thought of something and wrote the word "grey" in the center of the blackboard, and then It took a line to connect with the "alliance".

At this point, his brows finally relaxed a little.

On the other side, in the security headquarters of Tulong, Akinayama Hachiman had a gloomy look on his face. He wiped his lenses and muttered: "So, if we attack by force, it was over early yesterday morning. How can we still fight for another two hours?" What? Are you okay now? Have you been caught? That guy is becoming more and more like a big shot now. If he gets angry at that time, I won’t care. You can take it on yourself. "

Akinayama Hachiman muttered for nearly three minutes, then put on his glasses again, and then answered a number in the office: "Simon, did you hear this? Comrade Chairman is coming in half a day? What if you If it is not resolved within two hours, I will attack by force."

After nearly three seconds, Nuonuo's voice came from the other side of the communication terminal: "Qiu, Chief Qiu Mingshan, I am..."

Hachiman straightened his military cap and said expressionlessly with his stick: "Oh, Sergeant Pavli, Major Wayali's correspondent! Why did you answer the phone?"

"... Chief Vayali failed to persuade me just now, so he put down his weapon and went in on his own."

"...I understand. Is he planning to rely on his psychic power to rush in and knock down all the kidnappers with his bare hands? Haha, if it's just to save us shells, it's not necessary!"

"It's not just him. Mr. Busca, the engineer from the Red Maple Factory, also rushed over and went in with the chief just now."

"..."

"That, and several tribal elders from the Sand People also went in together."

Akinayama Hachiman was silent for half a minute, took off his glasses again, pressed hard on the ninja, and continued expressionlessly: "Okay, I probably understand what he means. However, I made an agreement with him before Yes, if there is no result in two hours, I will launch a strong attack according to the original plan."

"...Ming, I understand."

After turning off the communication, Hachiman stayed on the spot for two minutes, but then opened a screen. The picture that appeared on it was in the vast wilderness more than 150 kilometers away from Tulong City. There, there were They sniped at more than 200,000 young men from more than a dozen sand people city-states and tribes, and almost everyone had weapons.

Of course, these sand people all come from relatively "friendly" tribes and city-states, and they claim to be here to help the sector government protect Tulon Port. Moreover, they did stop outside the defensive cordon of Tulon City. They had been camping and repairing in the undefensible wilderness for nearly half a day. They also sent people into the city and discussed the remuneration with Hachiman in a very humble tone. and food matters.

No matter how you look at it, they are indeed here for reinforcements, and the Earth's army really has no reason to attack them. Normally, Governor Jiang would have jumped out and chatted and laughed with the elders of the sand people.

"But you came at the right time!" Hachiman muttered to himself.
