This Game Is Too Realistic
Chapter 457 Ultimatum (1/2)
More than a week has passed since the Lion Kingdom regained its entire territory.
Summer had originally seen the hope of restoring the country.
What he didn't expect was that despite the huge advantage, the alliance's army stopped at the northwest border of Oasis No. 9. Not only did they have no intention of continuing to advance, they even dug trenches and built them on the spot.㦂䛍.
It's not just that.
What made Summer even more uneasy was that he learned from his acquaintances in the Lion Kingdom that the king of the Lion Kingdom was considering consolidating the alliance with the alliance through marriage.
Not even just that King Edward.
Prince Winter also set his sights on managers who were not yet married.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a daughter of the right age, and he is currently considering adopting an adopted daughter from his subordinates.
What's even more unscrupulous is that a certain Duke actually sent his daughter to the administrator's palace as a servant!
What kind of rough and tiring work can a noble lady who has been pampered since childhood do?
Isn't that a joke?
He could figure out what that guy's plan was with his feet!
So shameless!
Unlike the honey badger kingdom, the lion kingdom does not have a limit on how many wives you can have. And because there are too many heirs, those nobles who claim to abide by tradition actually don't care whether their blood will flow out.
When he thought of those shameless guys who could do such shameless things as betraying his daughter, he couldn't sit still, so he immediately applied to meet with the alliance manager.
Browsing room.
Looking at Chu Guang sitting on the sofa, Summer took a deep breath and decided to get straight to the point, so he said in a serious tone.
"Dear Administrator... What do you think of my sister, Miss Avni?"
Chu Guang was stunned for a moment and glanced at the young man in surprise.
Just now, he was wondering whether this guy thought the alliance's front line was advancing too slowly and came to urge him to go faster.
Why did you suddenly mention Avni?
Chu Guang thought for a while and said.
"Afni is a studious and inquiring girl. People who live with her have good comments about her. You don't need to worry too much about her."
Although he had not had much contact with her during this period, Chu Guang still asked the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce to inquire about Avni due to diplomatic issues.
According to the description of a girl named Shuangxue, the little princess from the Honey Badger Kingdom was modest, gentle, kind, generous and decent. She did not have the airs or temper of a noble lady at all, and she also cherished the books in the library.
Although this set of rhetoric may be filtered by some personal factors, in order for people to produce these beautiful filters, there must still be some lovable shining points.
People don't develop a crush on another person for no reason.
The prince named Summer seemed not satisfied with his evaluation, and continued to ask questions reluctantly.
"...I appreciate your evaluation more than others. Dear manager, please allow me to put it in a more straightforward way."
Summer nodded slightly and continued in a very soft voice, "From the perspective of the opposite sex, what do you think of her?"
Chu Guang looked at this guy with a strange expression.
"...No special opinion, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the manager didn't understand his hint at all, Summer suddenly felt a headache.
Maybe it's the nobles' euphemism that doesn't work well here.
Maybe I should be more direct.
Summer gritted his teeth, put down his reserve, took a deep breath and said.
"I asked my sister, and she spoke very highly of you. She and I said that your wisdom is like the stars in the sky. Just standing next to you can make you feel peaceful. If possible, she would stay with you all night Let’s talk…”
Chu Guang coughed dryly and interrupted this guy's disgusting speech.
"...If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to praise me in such a roundabout way."
If the guy continued talking, he was worried that his toes would dig through the soles of his shoes.
Summer almost choked on his own spit when he heard this.
He had never said it so directly, and even improvised a love poem.
How can you be more direct! ?
After completely letting go of the last hint of euphemism, he spoke with a slightly broken mentality.
"I'm here to be a matchmaker for my sister. Are you willing to marry my sister?"
Huh.
That's it.
This guy came to see him late at night just for this. Chu Guang was speechless for a while, and leaned back on the sofa.
"In the alliance, personal feelings are private. We will not confuse private and public affairs, let alone engage in political marriage."
I didn't expect Chu Guang to refuse so simply.
Summer looked a little disappointed, but still wanted to fight for it, but heard Chu Guang continue.
"I should have said something similar before."
"If you have no other feelings, please come back."
…
After leaving the shelter, Summer stood at a loss in the square, but he was unwilling to give up. After some hesitation, he went to his sister's place.
After listening to her brother's narration, Avni sighed softly, closed the book she borrowed from the library, and copied the notes on the side.
Summer glanced at the words on the cover of the book out of the corner of his eye.
"Research on Classical Economics: The Contradiction and Evolution of Production Relations and Productivity"
He vaguely remembered that the book in front of Avni seemed to have the same name.
How long has it been, and I still haven’t finished it.
"You shouldn't go to him."
"Why." Summer felt dissatisfied with Avni's statement.
Although it was true that no progress had been made, he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
People with ideas in the Lion Kingdom have already lined up in a long queue. If I don't take the initiative here, wouldn't I give away a great advantage to others?
Looking at Brother Mi who was still unconvinced, Avni continued.
"He may value the alliance more than himself. How could he possibly agree to such a request at this time that may come with conditions?"
Summer said without thinking.
"Is there any conflict in this? Since we value the alliance more than ourselves, we should consider the issue of heirs as soon as possible."
Avni shook her head.
"You would say something like this, saying you don't understand the alliance."
If you don't understand, then...
Do you know it well?
Summer wanted to ask this question, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't say it.
Because he suddenly thought that some time ago, he had been taking care of things related to the refugee camps in Luoye City with Princess Theresa, while Avni went to Dawn City, the capital of the alliance, to help organize books, far away from the center of power. Maybe I really don’t know the alliance better than my sister.
Avni paused and continued in a gentle tone.
"The alliance is not an alliance of one person, but an alliance of all the survivors who have suffered... He always talks about this sentence to people, and every time he mentions this sentence, the little girl named Shuangxue has eyes. It always shines.”
"Frost?"
"Well, my friend, it's not just her, it's the others too. They are united under the banner of Vault 404, loyal to the Administrator, but not just to the Administrator. The Alliance belongs to them, not them. Belonging to the Alliance. At first I didn’t understand what kind of kingdom this was, but then I gradually understood.”
"Understand...what?"
Looking at her brother who still didn't understand, Avni said in a serious tone.
"The Alliance is not a kingdom, the Alliance is an Alliance."
The voice seemed to contain a hint of beautiful longing, or yearning.
Summer's expression was slightly startled, looking at this increasingly strange sister.
When did she become like this?
After a while, Summer's Adam's apple moved slightly and he spoke.
"...Would you consider changing your job?"
Avni was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
Summer chose a euphemistic choice of words.
"These books have a great influence on you, you should read some that are more suitable for your age -"
"Picture book?" Avni looked into his eyes intently, "You said, I'm no longer a child, why do you still want me to read those childish things? What's more, you know it's fake."
Summer: "But at least it won't give you some weird thoughts..."
Avni said seriously.
"I don't think there's anything strange about it. The problems won't disappear just because we turn a blind eye. As productivity develops, one day we will have to face those problems."
Summer coughed, interrupting her ignorant argument.
"Let's talk about your lifelong mission."
He must know those feelings.
But from the royal family's standpoint, that's not something he should consider.
He needs to maintain the rule of the Honey Badger Royal Family and Oasis No. 3, and then he can consider making the lives of the people there better.
This is his duty and responsibility.
Avni nodded, stopped talking, and waited for her brother's announcement.
Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, but she knows very well that this does not include herself who was born into the royal family.
The aura of the royal family has given her a lot, and she should respond to people's expectations of her.
It would be too selfish to forget these just because of a word of freedom.
"...We need the friendship of the alliance, whether it is now or in the future," Summer paused for a moment, "but the managers of the alliance are not interested in the marriage I proposed. I hope you can be more proactive. ...How to grasp this degree is up to you."
Avni was relieved after hearing her brother's words.
Although she is ready to sacrifice her personal happiness for her family, emotionally speaking, she is still more willing to marry her sweetheart.
It's nice not to be forced to betroth yourself to someone else.
"I understand, but I still want to say that you are too anxious about this matter."
"The war between us and the legion is not over yet. That gentleman will not be willing to put too much energy away from the battlefield. If you talk to him at this time, it will be counterproductive."
Summer frowned involuntarily, and gradually realized this.
He admitted that he might indeed be a little impatient. The Alliance's reason for standing still might be just because they were not ready to continue advancing on the front line, and they did not intend to give up on themselves.
After he calmed down, he looked at his sister and asked.
"Is there any remedy?"
Avni nodded slightly.
"Of course, if you want to get his approval, the best way is to make achievements that he can see, instead of waiting in Shuguang City like you are now to make him think you are idle."
Summer asked humbly.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
Avni continued.
"Going back to Luoye City is a good choice. The Alliance plans to build roads and railways into Lion City and use it as a communication hub connecting Luoxia Province and Hehe River Province. The development of Luoye City will be key. …Every time the management comes to inspect the work of the Hongshang Trade Union, that’s the place that gets the most mention. He hopes that the Hongshang Trade Union can study and introduce more favorable policies to help the development of Luoye City.”
"Business is only one aspect. The resettlement of refugees is also a big issue. You see, Princess Teresa is very smart. She is proving that she can do this well every time she works hard."
Looking at her brother who was deep in thought, she continued.
"There is no place like the palace in the Alliance. Maybe you should try to change your thinking."
"As for my affairs, you don't need to be too anxious... Our home field will be after the war is over, not now."
"Please give me a moment."
…
"Wasteland OL" official website forum.
Today is as joyful and lively as ever.
Luo Yu, who picked up [SSSR-level divine pet], excitedly shared his experience in raising a baby on the forum, and a large group of singles were helping him make suggestions purely based on their imagination.
Mosquito got into a quarrel with several power players over whether to install a motor and battery on "Destruction No. 2".
"Battle Royale" became a hit in Ideal City. This time, even Fang Chang was envious and jealous. He chased the mole to ask if he was short of funds and whether he wanted venture capital.
Professor Yang and brothers Ye Ao lost money and were not in a good mood.
Especially later, I lost a huge sum of money for a cup of milk tea, and posted more than a dozen posts on the forum asking for a refund, which ended up being banned.
Unexpectedly, many people interceded for him.
A considerable number of melon-eating people said that the forum cannot be without forum favorites, just like a watermelon cannot be without its rind. Without Brother Yeao, the slut always feels like something is missing.
Of course, apart from those trolling posts, the content that interests players the most is related to your version.
It has been a week since the Beta 0.4 version updated the "Ocean Trade" system, and finally a player has explored the ocean at the end of the land!
Tails: "Oh oh oh! The sea! Tails look at 㳔! (✪ω✪)"
Crow Crow: "Hai?! Where are you looking at the duck?"
Tails: "Silver Moon Bay!"
Quit smoking: "What the hell? Why did you go there?"
Kuang Feng: "Niubi..."
The edge of the water: "I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find the entry for [this settlement] in the official website setting collection."
Tails: "In the southernmost part of Oasis No. 4! The largest commercial city in Camelback Kingdom! There are many beautiful houses there, as well as yachts and sailboats! By the way, the map of this game is really huge!"
Sisi: "Oh! Super big!"
Roshan Big Momo: "+1!!! You can also rent a boat to go out to sea at the port! I heard the sailors there said that if you sail south, you can see an archipelago!"
Quit smoking: "6666!"
If you don't count the length of the east coast, this is probably the first time players of "Wasteland OL" have explored the sea in the game.
Hearing that there are so many unexplored areas, both cloud players and players are excited.
At this moment, a certain sewer god of war jumped out.
Garbage Picking Level 99: "Brother, do you want to see the speed of the sea! Let's form a team and go south!!! (bad smile)"
Forcing others to do something difficult: "Me, me, me!"
I wanted to be quiet: "Old driver, please take care of me!"
…
Oasis No. 9.
Northwest front line.
Sitting in the frontline command post, Commander Quanshui frowned slightly while looking at the aerial photos taken by the reconnaissance aircraft.
"Something's wrong..."
Hearing his muttering, Mole, who was sitting across from the command table and drinking tea, glanced at him.
"What's wrong?"
"Look at these photos." Quan Shui put a few photos in his hands on the table and slid them over to him. "They were taken by a Goblin Corps aircraft over the southeastern part of Oasis No. 3."
For these photos, they paid the price of two pilots.
But for valuable information.
Everything is worth it!
Mole stared at these photos twice, with an expression of surprise in his eyes. On the stacked sand dunes, there were hundreds of continuous trenches.
Behind the trenches were scattered dots of legionary camps.
The layout may seem loose and random, but in fact it contains a secret. No matter which position you attack, you will be attacked from (at least two directions, or even three directions).
"Hiss... this camp is not small, I'm afraid there are a lot of people stationed there!"
Commander Fountain shook his head.
"It's not just a lot, I think it's at least ten divisions!"
"Ten divisions?!" A surprised expression appeared on Mole's face.
A division is equivalent to a team of 10,000 people, which means they have deployed nearly 100,000 people on the border? !
Where did the legion come from with so many people!
And can their logistics keep up?
"This is just what we saw. Their logistics convoy did not appear in the aerial footage. It should be somewhere deeper."
Commander Quanshui paused for a moment and continued.
"Next we will face probably the main force of the legion!"
Mole frowned slightly.
"You mean...the clone group?"
Commander Quanshui nodded with a serious face.
"Um."
Those clones with unsound minds may not have strong combat effectiveness individually, but under the command of the army's grassroots officers, they will fight like spirits without fear of death until the last soldier falls.
Morale never wavers.
Neither machine gun fire nor artillery bombardment would make them surrender.
This is the most difficult place to do.
When the number of clone soldiers is large, the combat power they erupt is far beyond what those retinues can match!
Quan Shui remembered that when he was still on the forum, the pioneer account had just opened in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, and Shelter 404 encountered a Legion clone team of thousands.
At that time, the thousand-man team was led by Vanus and consisted of about 2,000 people. It established a position in Yumu District and bombarded the camp where the Kaoru No. 1 camp was located in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City.
In order to get rid of those clones, the Kaifengji almost used all its strength, and even used a tactical nuclear bomb to get rid of that troop with the cooperation of the players.
Ten teams of ten thousand people...
It is also equipped with sufficient weapons, ammunition and supporting firepower.
Quan Shui had a premonition in his heart.
Their opponents are afraid that they will take real action...
…
other side.
Chu Guang, who was inspecting the Dawn City Industrial Zone, suddenly received a telegram from the Bugra Free State.
To be precise, this telegram was not sent by the Bugla Free State to the Alliance, but was sent by General Griffin through an informant there.
The telegram was short.
Putting aside the title and signature at the beginning, there are only two lines for the signature.
[...You are limited to returning the Heart of Steel and all prisoners within thirty days, and withdrawing all troops from Luoxia Province. 】
【This is an ultimatum! 】
After glancing at the contents of the telegram, Chu Guang chuckled, not taking the warning seriously at all, and casually handed it to Lu Bei who was following him.
Thirty days?
An ultimatum?
The alliance is not scared.
From the beginning of this war, he never expected that both sides would reach an agreement. Griffin would definitely try his best to convince the Legion's top brass to send more support from the west of the desert.
This war cannot end unless we beat these jackals to pain and make them abandon their unrealistic fantasies.
Just beating Hu Congjun to the ground is not enough.
Sooner or later, the Alliance will have to fight a real battle with the main force of the Legion.
This opportunity is coming soon.
Following half a step behind Chu Guang, the commander of the First Corps, Wan Wan, said in a deep voice.
"According to frontline intelligence, the legion has deployed more than 100,000 troops on the border, including a clone regiment under the command of the legion... I feel that this is not just a show of force for us, they may intend to start a decisive battle with us before the autumn harvest is over."
Chu Guang didn't fall into Gefen's trap at all and said calmly.
"Decisive battle? It was just a bluff in the end."
If they are really sure that they can obtain these things on the battlefield, there is no need to issue any ultimatum, they can just take them on the battlefield and be done with it.
How can you even use nuclear bombs, but then say you are given a chance to surrender?
It is obvious that although the coalition forces of the Legion and the Falcon Kingdom completed their strategic retreat before the alliance cut off their retreat, their situation at the moment is not optimistic.
A large number of manpower in the Falcon Kingdom has been sent to the front line, and normal social production has become difficult to maintain. Coupled with the loss of the supply line from the Bugla Free State, they could only request reinforcements from their hometown.
No matter how low the maintenance cost of the Clone Troopers is, they still need to eat every time they open their mouths, and their rifles must be loaded and loaded.
If the "Thunder Plan" can be implemented smoothly, the Army occupying Oasis No. 9 will immediately send its troops north to capture the Golden Lizard, open up the northern trade route, and rely on the Bugra Free State market to exchange slaves or other resources for equipment. There is hope that the supply gap will be solved.
However, not only has the Thunder Plan failed, but even the remedial plan has been ruined.
Trying to supply such a huge supply gap with the national strength of a mere feudal kingdom is almost no different from a dream.
Of course it was impossible for Griffin not to know.
But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
To put it bluntly, they are too far away from home, and now they are paying the price for their previous aggressive invasion strategy.
The hundreds of thousands of troops on the border and the telegram were not so much an ultimatum as a bluff made to buy time, forcing the alliance to abandon the next phase of its offensive plan and switch to offense instead of defense.
"What are you going to do?" Wrench asked respectfully.
He stopped at the door of a factory building and looked at the tanks parked inside. Chu Guang's lips curled up into a faint smile.
"Our enemies asked us to give them a proxy within thirty days. I think thirty days is too long and it doesn't take that long."
"Since our relationship is so good, I think two weeks is enough!"
