Dimensional Alliance

——Suka Bulei!Of course I know it's not the owner's body!But what's the point of investigating it!

Hearing the detective's reminder, the sheriff almost scolded him directly.

In the sheriff's impression, the slums are like this. There are no real homeowners in the slums. When a family "disappears" for more than a week, those who are later driven into the slums will Quickly occupy the houses of these "lost" owners.

If the owner of the house has been missing for more than two months, then it is quite normal for other people to live in this house. Therefore, in the eyes of the sheriff, this incident is clearly very clear, and there is no such thing as an investigation by the detectives. Doubtful.

The sheriff guessed that the guys who had just entered the slums might not have adapted to the living standards of the slums. In order to live a better life, they even took the risk and mined and carried them without any protection and preservation measures. Tiberium ore.

Of course, the more likely reason is that they were attracted by the low commodity prices of the Orientals. Although the group of Orientals promised that they would establish a long-term and stable trade relationship with Chita City after the road was repaired, these people have already It is really difficult for the poor who have completely lost confidence in businessmen and the government to suddenly trust a businessman in another country.

In the eyes of most poor people, the caravan of the Orientals is something full of uncertainty. In order to obtain more living materials before the winter completely enters, these people in the slums who have no jobs and no savings can only use Do everything possible to save more money before the next wave of caravans from the human alliance arrives.

Not all countries or regions are like the human coalition army, which will provide jobs or other living guarantees for everyone as much as possible, no matter how low the price of goods carried by the human coalition merchants is, for these poor people It is also an unaffordable expense.

Mining and storing Tiberium ore privately is already the fastest way for these poor people to obtain funds. After all, in order to eat as many trade orders as possible from the human coalition caravan, the only few Tiberium mining vehicles in Chita City The cars have been fully driven, but this is still not enough to fully satisfy the newly expanded Tiberium ore refinery.

Of course, it is impossible for this private Tiberium ore refinery to allow ordinary people to participate in the mining of Tiberium ore, but the Tiberium ore purchase list they released for individuals is equivalent to encouraging them in disguise. Such behavior.

Citizens with stable jobs certainly don’t need to put their lives on the gambling table in order to make money, but for most poor people who have nothing but their own lives, collecting Tiberium ore alone is what they can do The only way.

In fact, not only the lowest-level residents in the slums, except those upper-class people who can spend freely, all middle- and lower-class residents, including Sheriff Lucia, also look forward to the caravan of the human alliance.

——This is one of the other reasons why the sheriff is in such a bad mood, you guys who don't care about it will die, but if I can't buy East Asian things, it will be a big problem!

However, the sheriff must never say this publicly. Although in the current political environment of the Transbaikal Republic, those who can achieve the position of sheriff, without exception, all sold their conscience to the devil early, but at least in the On the surface, they still have to pretend to be conscientious.

Therefore, no matter whether the sheriff is so impatient that he wants to fly directly to the convoy of the human coalition forces, he must also show his righteous indignation towards the human coalition forces at this time.

A gust of cold wind blew through the messy streets of the slums and gushed in through the sheriff's collar, making him shiver uncontrollably.

The sheriff looked in again through the kicked-off door, and the two corpses still wearing autumn clothes made him feel a little out of place.

But when the sheriff turned his head and looked at the other poor people around him—although in most cases, the residents in the slums would not dare to watch Lucia's police handle the case, but there would always be a few guys who hadn't suffered a lot. Unable to restrain his curiosity, he watched from a distance.

After confirming that many of these yellow and thin guys were wearing similar clothes, and their very uncomfortable, unwilling and full of fear, wanting to change but full of stupid eyes, the sheriff quickly forgot these Doubtful.

——Anyway, it is estimated that everything in the family was taken away by someone to repay the debt, and in the end there was only a failure story about fleeing to the slums with only one suit of clothes left. He has heard this kind of story a thousand times, ten thousand times. There will be some sympathy for these people, but when the same thing is repeated hundreds or thousands of times, no matter how sentimental people are, they will become numb.

"The matter is very clear," the sheriff touched the police badge again, and said, "Someone anonymously reported that there was an abnormal noise in this house last night. Our investigation found that two people were severely corroded by Tiberium. The person died in the house. Obviously, the voice heard by the whistleblower last night was the noise made by these two people when they were struggling because of the Tiberium erosion exceeding the limit. case, there is no need for in-depth investigation."

"Sir, but I think there are still a lot of doubts about this matter—"

"I know, I know," the sheriff interrupted the detective, "the original owner of this house, we will register the news of his disappearance, I hope it will be useful in the future."

The sheriff waved his hand to characterize the incident. The detective obviously wanted to say something more, but the other policeman tapped him with his elbow before he could speak, refusing what he wanted to say. All blocked back.

After waiting for a few seconds to confirm that no one refuted him, the sheriff finally nodded in satisfaction, then got into the police car and left quickly.

"Okay, I know what you want to say, but since they don't even care about their own lives, why should you care about them?" The policeman next to the agent patted him on the shoulder, "Don't take some things too seriously. This matter will be closed as the sheriff said, and the people from the Green Crystal Company will be notified to deal with the Tiberium pollution."

The Lucia policeman was about to leave after speaking, but when he turned around, he found that there seemed to be more poor people gathered around him.

These poor people were looking at him with eyes that he couldn't understand. These eyes seemed to penetrate him, and he couldn't help shivering.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he always felt that he seemed to see a flash of red light in the eyes of several residents

------

The human coalition caravan is expected to stay in Chita for three days. Just as the sheriff guessed, during the stay of the human coalition caravan, several deaths and injuries and Tiberium caused by improper storage occurred in the slums. pollution incident.

But whether it is the mayor of Chita City, who is lying down to make money, or the middle-level citizens who have purchased abundant supplies from the human coalition, they are subconsciously ignoring the tragedies that are happening around them in the joy of a large number of cheap goods flowing into the market.

Among the merchants who have been taught a lesson by the human coalition forces, many people are worried about the status quo of cities like Chita, but their status as "foreign merchants" is obviously not suitable for intervening in the internal affairs of the Transbaikal Republic or bypassing Chita The city..government..government provides relief to the poorest.

And when the human coalition forces are unable to intervene, GDI does not want to intervene, and the Lucia countries are unable to intervene, the other force will not do nothing.

Underground more than 100 kilometers north of Chita.

"Doctor, these are the Tiberium healing potions brought by the human coalition merchants. Through our experiments, the effects of this potion are not limited to the Tiberium ore in the human body," said a tall Lucy A report was handed over to Dr. William, "Including robotic arms, artificial organs, artificial nerves, and control chips, all implants that conflict with the human body will be restored after the experimenter drinks or injects this 'Tiberium healing potion'." It dissolves quickly, but if we dip these implants individually into the 'Tiberium Healing Potion' liquid, it won't react with the liquid at all."

"And if the implants fit perfectly into the human body, that means we can give the person six hands, eight legs, two artificial stomachs, five mechanical lungs... all without the 'Tiberium cure' The effect of the potion'," the Lucian who was reporting here showed a very tangled expression on his face, "We still don't know the reason why the Tiberium healing potion shows this state, we suspect The main component of this drug is likely to be some kind of nano-robot with environment recognition function, which will only be activated when it recognizes that it is in the human environment."

"However, even if we observed the liquid medicine with a tunnel microscope, we did not find any nano-robot-like ingredients, which means that either the human coalition forces have invented a robot smaller than the nano-scale, or it is the 'Tiberium Healing Potion'. The mechanism of action is completely outside the scope of our current theory."

"I understand." The fact that it seemed impossible to decipher the Tiberium healing potion sold by the human coalition forces on a large scale hit Dr. William's confidence. He no longer uttered wild words like he did when facing Kilian, but raised his head and asked "Is there anything else to report?"

"Of course there is," said the Lucian after closing the documents. "We have bought other materials they sell. The quality is good or bad, but the price is more than half cheaper than similar products in the Transbaikal Republic. Clothes, cotton Basic materials such as quilts, alcohol, and food are even lower than those in the GDI blue zone."

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you think the Orientals are doing well?" Dr. William, who is mainly in charge of research, is not sensitive to prices. He was silent for a while before asking.

"Doctor, from the point of view of a Lucian, the Human Alliance has done a great job," the man said after a moment of silence, "But from the perspective of our Brotherhood, the Human Alliance is affecting our understanding of North Asia. control."

"I don't know what agreement the human coalition signed with GDI, but judging from their current performance, the two of them are showing signs of getting closer."

"Once the human alliance establishes a stable trade relationship with Lucia, in the next few months, regardless of the weather conditions, it can be confirmed that there will be more and more merchants from the east and south."

"And the necessities of life brought by these merchants and some novelty things will soon become the objects of people's pursuit, and the Lucians will soon forget the kindness of the Brotherhood to them and turn to the arms of the human coalition. Devastating to our cause."

"Many brothers have immature faith in the prophet Kane, and they will easily be bought by the small favors of the human coalition forces,"

Dr. William quietly looked at the Lucian in front of him, and after a long time, he nodded slightly and did not express any other opinions.

I said I was asking for leave, but I couldn’t sleep in bed in the afternoon, so I got up and updated... I felt weak when I coded, so there may be typos. If you see it, you can point it out in the complaint. I will modify it as soon as possible after seeing the complaint. . ]

"And I noticed that after the products of the Human Alliance were spread out, many people, especially those young people, suddenly became very interested in that country in the south."

Seeing that Dr. William didn't publish anything, the Lucian man continued to lose: "It's only because the caravan of the human coalition army doesn't allow these people to follow, and winter is not suitable for long-distance trekking, so these young people are discouraged from going. Southern 'take a look' idea."

"If GDI and the human coalition forces complete the roads and railways from the Far East to the major cities of Lucia next year, as they advertised, then many people will inevitably go to the south."

"Sounds bad." Dr. William nodded. Even though he seldom intervenes in such matters, he can know from common sense that when the population of an area decreases to a certain level, it will also bring serious consequences to the actions of the NOD Brotherhood. A lot of inconvenience.

——Aside from other things, finding experimental "materials" may become a big problem at that time. In a city with a population of [-], it may not be so obvious that one or two people disappear every month, but if the population of this city is reduced to [-] , the disappearance of any one of them could become a major event.

In addition, once the population of the surrounding cities of the NOD Brotherhood drops severely, it will also have an extremely negative impact on the normal activities of the NOD Brotherhood. And aroused the vigilance of city leaders.

Dr. William has no doubts about the attractiveness of the Human Alliance to the lower-level people in Lucia. After all, the NOD Brotherhood used a little supplies to eat up the population of the GDI cities in the yellow zone. If the Human Alliance can provide more than the NOD Brotherhood , a more stable supply of supplies, then these Lucians also feel that they will not have any hesitation in abandoning the NOD Brotherhood.

"Call the base personnel, I want to activate our countermeasures in the Chita slums." Thinking of this, Dr. William stood up and said: "It seems that the human coalition forces have already attacked us, and we should also prepare some for the human coalition forces." Reciprocity', hope they like it."

General Kilian's reminder seemed to have been completely forgotten by him at this time.

"Mother! Mother! What's that word?"

A four or five-year-old girl was holding a small book the size of a comic book. She was wearing new clothes from the Human Alliance, and she was curled up in her mother's arms.

As the human coalition caravans marched north and west, the influence of the human coalition also spread to these old Soviet places along with these caravans.

Of course, when the human coalition sells goods, they will explain or demonstrate the use of various goods to buyers, but what the merchants relay is not as convenient as a manual, so with the circulation of caravans, a Chinese-Russian comparison The dictionary also created a wave in the cities visited by the human coalition forces.

Although the population mobility between different parts of Lucia has been reduced to the lowest after winter, it is not an ancient time that lacks contact methods. Will post them online.

The human coalition, which has made people all over the world curious because of the frontal defeat and forced GDI to the negotiating table, has once again entered the public eye, and the human coalition is now showing kindness and peace by selling supplies to civilians at a low price The attitude also allows the human coalition to leave a positive image other than "very powerful military power" to the masses of this world.

But outside the network, there is another thing that is spreading rapidly among the low-level civilians:

A thin book that can be twirled with two fingers - "The Program of the Human Coalition Army".

This is a short document with less than 1500 words. The book is used to describe her only because the person who spread her first printed her in small pieces of paper less than the size of a palm in order to conceal her, and bound it into a book with only Five pages of reading material.

It is not clear where the People’s Federation program that first spread to Lucia came from. It may have slipped from a merchant’s pocket, picked it up by a curious child, and was finally translated by their adults into Or maybe a Lucian who went to Shu County to participate in the negotiations secretly brought it back to his country. In short, when the book began to spread among the poor, it quickly spread like wildfire on the grassland Come.

In order to reduce costs, the printing paper, ink and binding method of this Russian version of the People’s Federation Program are extremely simple and cheap, even inferior to the leaflets handed out on the roadside, but the determination and strength revealed between the lines of the People’s Federation Program still make everyone Some people find it hard to put it down.

They may not be able to understand many technical terms in the People's Federation's program, but all people can easily read it to unite workers, peasants, students, and soldiers, and to establish a country where there is no oppression, no exploitation, and everyone is equal.

Although most poor people are dubious about the content of this program, even those civilians who have been repeatedly attacked by GDI and the Lucia government and can no longer believe in any propaganda, when they get this booklet, They will subconsciously hide them in the most hidden places.

Many of them didn't really believe the contents of this pamphlet, but seeing the trucks full of supplies and the smiling businessmen in the human coalition caravan, any one of them would be shaken.

Since our neighbor to the south can change from being suppressed by GDI, NOD Brotherhood, and CHI in Shu County to a monster that even GDI can do nothing about in just ten years, then they There should be a little bit of truth in the program, right?

If we refer to their program... Is it possible for us, too, to live in comfort?

Under the influence of this kind of thinking and the efforts of a certain organization, some unknown changes are quietly taking place in the slums of the Lucia countries, and this change is spreading from the slums to the outside.

"This word," the mother took the 'comic book' from the young girl's hand, something seemed to be flickering in her eyes, "Come on, read to me, this word is, liberation..."

------

At the same time, in a twelve-story high-end hotel in the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lucia Moscow and the former capital of the Soviet Union.

The person in charge of GDI is sitting in the reception room with a soft pure wool handmade carpet on the floor, a decorative piano and a 15-meter-long table. A girl named Lucia in a white lace tulle dress is sitting in front of the piano It was playing slowly, and another Lucia girl in cool clothes was slowly spinning in the hall accompanied by the music.

There are obviously no air-conditioning or heating lines and pipes in the room, but the room maintains the most comfortable temperature for the human body at 21°C. However, neither the luxurious decoration nor the dancing Lucia girl can attract people into the room those few people.

"Ms. Ji, our first cooperation was very successful," said Austin Clark, the person in charge of GDI Sylucia, with a gentle smile on his face, "The first batch of Tiberium healing potions and clothes from the East are in the Cylucia is very popular, and the portable radios you provide are also selling well, I didn't expect such a simple thing to be so popular in the yellow zone."

Although Austin Clark directly monitors (or governs) only the Grand Duchy of Moscow, as the birthplace and important capital of Lucia in history, Moscow has become a place similar to a 'religious holy place', although those The Lucians who want to restore their country will launch riots here or around here from time to time, but Austin Clark, who occupies Moscow, also has a strong influence on other Lucian countries because of this.

At the same time, the Grand Duchy of Moscow is an important assembly point of GDI's troops in Lucia and the location of the Eastern Europe-North Asia command center. Austin Clark, who is in charge of this place, can also interfere with the actions of GDI's troops stationed in Lucia to a certain extent.

On the 15-meter-long table in front of Austin Clark and Jisha, there was a plate of bloodshot steak. As a drink, a glass of high-end red wine had the same appearance and taste, but it was not the same. Alcoholic drinks, but neither of the two sitting face to face had the thought of reaching for a knife and fork at this time.

However, as long as they don't maintain their current actions for too long, the self-heating device under the long table can also ensure that the steak on the silver plate maintains the best taste and temperature.

Choosing a high-end restaurant instead of the GDI government office hall to receive the representatives of the human alliance is a decision made by GDI after serious consideration. Although the armistice agreement announced by GDI and the human alliance, most smart people in this world can guess that GDI It has hooked up with the human coalition forces in some fields, but people have guessed that it is two different concepts from GDI or the human coalition forces actively showing it.

Receiving representatives of the Human Alliance Forces in the restaurant is enough to show that GDI is quite satisfied with the current state of "the two sides maintain contact in private, but on the surface they are still not in conflict with each other". Before new changes in the world situation, GDI He does not intend to take the initiative to break the current situation.

Similarly, the intentional arrangement of the two Lucia girls to "enliven the atmosphere" also shows that this meeting is limited to daily exchanges that will not be affected even if they are exposed. GDI does not want to discuss some too secretive topics with the human coalition right now.

"Raymond Boyle ordered me to, on his behalf, extend my sincerest greetings to the Human Alliance," Austin Clark said with a smile, "Chief Raymond told me that he is very impressed with our current cooperation model Optimistic, and hope to further expand trade cooperation with the human coalition.”

"I will tell the country about the relevant situation." Jisha nodded, "After the tariffs and the Far East Trading Group are completely stable, we will definitely increase trade with the border regions of Lucia. The point is that you don't need it at all. Worry."

"Really, then I'm [Reassured]," as if worried that Jisha wouldn't understand, after saying it in English, Austin Clark repeated the word'Reassurance' again in Chinese "In addition, Chief Raymond also wants to know when the second batch of Tiberium healing potions will be available? I estimate that there is still a gap of tens of millions in the Eurasian continent alone. In the red zone and yellow zone , your Tiberium healing potion is about to become a hard currency more precious than gold."

"Part of the material for the Tiberium healing potion is a certain plant extract, and one of the most critical plants, we have not yet fully mastered the method of large-scale planting, so the production capacity can only maintain the existing supply," Ji Sha raised her chin slightly. This official who was born in the yellow zone and took the initiative to revolt in the Far East Liberation War never thought that one day she would be able to reject GDI's request so strongly, which made her feel a kind of heartfelt emotion. Excitement and pleasure.

"In addition," Jisha added, "We also continue to treat a large number of patients infected with Tiberium in our country. Without affecting the normal domestic medical system, we have already used [-]% of the Tiberium healing medicine It's all sold directly to you."

"But the loss is too high," Austin Clark lowered his hand, not satisfied with Jisha's answer, "You sold me 100 bottles of Tiberium healing potions, and in the end I only got 30 bottles. If you can't solve the loss problem, then your current supply can't meet the market demand at all."

"Didn't your human coalition claim that you want to protect and rescue all human beings? It can't be that you East Asians are human beings, and people from other regions are not human beings, right?"

"Mr. Clark, you and I both understand what the so-called 'loss' is all about." Jisha ignored the moral kidnapping of Austin Clark's last sentence, and pointed directly to the core of the problem. The black market has seen people selling Tiberium cures, and if you haven't sucked the Tiberium cures out of patients, then the stuff on the black market will only come from what you call 'wasting'."

Jisha accused mercilessly: "If you can manage your troops and those sneaky behaviors in the transportation link, I think this kind of 'loss' can be reduced by at least 5.00%, sixty, isn't it?"

"Oh? Really? It seems that the garrisons in other places really need to clean up their military discipline," Facing Jisha's questioning, Austin Clark replied without changing his expression, as if it had nothing to do with him, "But Ms. Ji, you should be clear that I am a small official in charge of administration, and Chief Raymond is only the Minister of Finance, Finance,... and Minister of GDI, and it is difficult to influence the military's decision-making, so Chief Raymond is right Here's a better suggestion."

Austin Clark clapped his hands, and the girl Lucia, who was still playing the piano and dancing, immediately stopped performing, bowed to the two, and quickly exited the room.

Austin Clark found it very amused to notice an imperceptible glint of sullenness in Kisha's eyes as the two girls bowed.

"Executive Raymond thinks," but Austin Clark could still distinguish the most important thing now. He dipped his finger in some wine and slid it gently on the white cloth of the long table, as if drawing a curved line. The twisted route, "Since we want to transport a large amount of materials from the Far East to Eastern Europe, why don't we cooperate to build a road starting from Hulunbeier in the east and passing through Chita, Irkutsk, Novosibirsk, Liege, Kazan and other cities?" , what about the heavy-haul railway to the Grand Duchy of Moscow?"

Volume 857 This is Our Planet: Chapter 0825 Chapter [-] Prelude

0825

Zhang Bing and his two bodyguards were walking on the streets of Chita City.

The elites in Shencheng have nothing wrong with their evaluation of Zhang Bing. They are timid, cowardly, hesitant, lacking in assertiveness, and have no overall view, but they value property more than anything else.

Zhang Bing is also aware of these shortcomings in his character, so after his father passed away and left all the family property to take care of him, Zhang Bing hardly made any investment behavior, although Zhang Bing was once banned by the blue zone because of this point. Other CHI elites are called 'Zhang Counselors', but even if his father's inheritance only eats dividends, it is enough for Zhang Bing and his descendants to live a very decent life.

Zhang Bing didn't feel anything about the human coalition entering Shanghai, but under the temptation of Master Qi's "easily doubling his assets in a month", Zhang Bing still used more than half of his family property to participate in this gamble.

—and the results are, of course, obvious.

When Zhang Bing lost all his family property in Zhejiang Province, Zhang Bing once wanted to end his life, but the same hesitant character made him hesitate to take sleeping pills, and when Zhang Bing finally made up his mind to send himself After he was on the road, he heard the news that Qiye was building a transnational caravan, which indirectly saved his life.

At this time, Zhang Bing made a very decisive decision that even after thinking about it, he went to Lucia with Qiye's caravan.

Zhang Bing, who was already ready to commit suicide, mortgaged all his remaining assets to the bank, and then exchanged them for supplies. Perhaps Zhang Bing subconsciously thought that he might not be able to come back alive, so he simply put The last point is all the pressure on the social status, even if he died halfway, he would be considered a delayed suicide.

However, this time the trade with Lucia was unexpectedly successful. Although the money he earned was not enough to make up for Zhang Bing's loss in Zhejiang Province, it was also enough to dispel his thoughts of suicide.

Now Zhang Bing has come to the streets of the Transbaikal Republic for the second time. Compared with the deserted and empty streets last time, Chita City finally has a breath of life.

The newly opened sawmills and Tiberium refineries have provided thousands of families with jobs with stable income even in winter, and the low-cost supplies provided by the human coalition have given more citizens the means to survive the winter. hope.

The citizens of Chita City who have hope are no longer lifeless. In addition, in order to facilitate the trade of the human coalition forces, the Chita City...government. Families who got supplies at cheap prices were willing to take a moment to chat with their neighbors.
