Chapter 70, I will go
While Gu Hang gathered all the help he could get, the news from Fuxing City was also constantly being collected.
Lambert became an intelligence officer.
He has mobilized himself and his family's contacts as much as possible, trying his best to obtain information from Fuxing City.
At the same time, after Denison Henry received the news, although he is currently in Garbage Town, he also has many partners in Fuxing City.He is also actively mobilizing his contacts to help collect information.
The situation in Fuxing City is becoming more and more worrying.
The person who initiated martial law was General Mondoc.This person is the supreme commander of Fuxing City's military forces, which means that the Fuxing City's military may have stood on the opposite side of the governor.
There is still no news of the old Hodgson until now, and his life and death are unknown.But what is worrying is that various clues indicate that many important members of the Hodgson family are also missing, including Lambert's father.
Rumor has it that the bodies of servants of the Hodgson family have been found.
The home of the Hodgson family was sealed off by the authorities.Soldiers with live ammunition are guarding the surroundings, and no one can approach.
This is all bad information.
And in the name of Gu Hang, the governor, the inquiry sent to Fuxing City was answered, but the reply was insincere.
Its authorities claim they have also discovered the disappearance of Lord Hodgson, suspecting a cult.Martial law and the blockade of the mansion are all necessary measures to find out about this matter.They promised that if there is anything to gain, they will notify the governor as soon as possible.
Gu Hang didn't believe it at all.
If this is the case, why didn't the authorities of Fuxing City report Hodgson's disappearance to him immediately?This matter was only discovered when Lambert contacted his grandfather as usual.
What's even more ridiculous is that the second news from the Fuxing City official is to invite the governor to return to Fuxing City to 'sit in charge'.However, on the grounds that it was difficult to provide supplies and garrisons, the governor was 'required' not to bring an entourage of more than 100 people.
So far, Gu Hang has confirmed that the situation in Fuxing City has completely gotten out of control.
Regarding the second message, Gu Hang only replied four words.
"I'll be there."
...
"He will come?" Industrial tycoon Norris asked cautiously, "Are you sure?"
"He said he would come, so it must be true." Bradford said, "But our lord governor, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he will be caught without a fight. He will come, and it is impossible to really bring only a hundred personal."
Norris continued to ask: "The staff placed there said that seven people suspected of being space fighters came to his camp recently. If this is true, what should we do?"
"This..."
Bradford was asked.
His eyes could not help looking at Mondock next to him, with some complaints.
Norris was already very dissatisfied: "As I said earlier, we can't be too hasty. That Governor Gu is so powerful that he can really get help from the space fighters. How do we end up now?"
Mundoc sneered: "It's only now that I know I'm afraid. What's the use? Old Norris, have you lost your former vigor?"
Norris argued: "Does this have anything to do with your spirit? No matter how vigorous you are, will you go head-to-head with the Space Marines?"
"Don't worry too much." Bradford came out to smooth things over, "This matter may not be true. How could a legendary figure like a space warrior be called by him? This may be the Governor's We can't just mess up our positions."
Even though he said so, there was an unconcealable panic on his expression.
There is a high probability that it is false, but what if it is true?
Mondok looked at the two ends of the mouse's head, and the contempt on his face became more and more obvious.But he understands that he still needs the support of these two people now, and he has to give them a little confidence.
"First of all, Bradford is right. It is very likely that this incident is not true. It is an illusion fabricated by our governor."
"Secondly, even if it is true, what is there to be afraid of? Multiple lines of information say that there are only seven space fighters in total. Seven people, we have a legion of 1 people! We have 70 challenge tanks We have one hundred cannons of various types! We have to be afraid of the seven space fighters? Do you read too many stories about the pre-war era, and really think that those space fighters are descended from the gods? I never believe those false rumors and exaggerated propaganda. They have one head and two hands, can they still tear the tank with their hands? It's just a big laugh!"
After a pause, Mundoc continued: "There are only a thousand people under the governor's command, and there are no heavy weapons. Don't worry about coming and going every day. If you have this time, why don't you help me do more things."
Hearing Mundoc's confident words, Norris and Bradford felt a little more at ease.
If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.
Even if there are interstellar warriors, seven people, what kind of weapon can they become?Could it be possible to kill a thousand at a time and slaughter the Fuxing City Legion?
But at this moment, Norris, a cautious person, asked another question: "Have you considered the issue of orbital strike?"
Having said that, Mundoc was really silent for a while.
Compared with the question of the unidentified space fighters, the Quintet flying in the sky is the most troublesome threat.
This thing is definitely not fake. Such a big starship is floating in the sky. In some clear night skies, the light emitted from it can even be observed with the naked eye.
The main gun of the Quintet may not be able to blow up the entire Fuxing City with one shot; it should be no problem with a few more shots.Spending half a day and one day carefully bombing a city-sized place can ensure that every inch of land is taken care of.
There are underground air defense positions left over from the war years in Fuxing City. Hiding inside may have a chance of surviving orbital strikes.But firstly, there are not many people who can hide there, and secondly... even if people are alive, what's the use if the city is blown up?
Can the general Mundoc conjure food and ammunition supplies out of thin air to maintain his army?Norris, an industrial tycoon, can still develop his physical industry underground and engage in large-scale production?Bradford, a business tycoon, where can he buy and sell to make a lot of money?
They are reluctant.
They usually look down on the hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, and even ordinary residents in the inner city are not looked down upon by them.But these people are their real source of wealth.It doesn't matter if you die. If the city is completely destroyed and people die, then they are also finished.
However, the problem of starships cannot be solved.
In the end, Mondock could only say: "Gu Hang won't do that, Fuxing City is destroyed, and he will die in two years!"
