Chapter 188, It's all mine from the beginning
This farce ended with the arrest of Crocker Jr.
In Jason Morgan's view, this is a farce.
Morgan can only say that what Crocker Jr. said on the committee is nonsense.
Is the way of fighting that guy said really possible?
It can be done, but there are conditions.
First of all, we must have external support, otherwise we will do things out of thin air and have no resources at hand, so how to do it?Let people go on strike, and continue to fight while the principal is absconding and hiding. People have to eat and have a way out.
Of course, Crocker was not unprepared for this.During subsequent interrogation, he admitted that he had connections with Blackbird Heavy Industries.
But Jason Morgan scoffed.
Blackbird Heavy Industries provided supplies to support the resistance movement in Beiqinggu area tens of thousands of miles away?It's not just as simple as the distance, but the terrain gap in the middle is huge.From Beiqinggu to the west of the mainland, one has to cross the mountains and cross the western desert, which is impossible.The proper path of trade has to be taken from the central province directly controlled by the alliance.
Not to mention the capacity and cost, the alliance is not blind, it can't be that easy.
Moreover, external support is only one of them.
The key to the success or failure of the resistance movement envisioned by Crocker Jr. is whether it can get the support of the local residents.
If you want to hide, you have to be able to hide.Not to mention whether these landlords and gentlemen can endure hardships, even if they can endure hardships, people have to eat and have a place to live.
If the alliance under Governor Gu is some kind of brutal regime, making the people miserable and full of grievances; if Little Crocker and all the manor owners are reincarnated Bodhisattvas, they were very kind to the peasants under their rule in the past. One bite is indispensable for you...
If this is the case, there is still something to be said for their resistance movement.The 400 million people in Beiqinggu area support them, they can really hide, and they can continue to stir up storms and mobilize the masses to resist.
What happened to the bloody repression?Kill the leader, and new ones will emerge; kill a group of people, and new ones will also emerge.The more repression, the more hatred, the more resistance.
But the problem is not ah.
The large area of refugees in the Qinggu area couldn't live any longer.It was the alliance that established a mutual aid association, and migrated refugees to Shuangcheng in batches; those who hadn't migrated for the time being, at least gave them food, no matter where the food came from, anyway, the civil affairs officials of the alliance kept showing their presence; Illness can be cured...
The militia group was also formed with the help of the military observers of the alliance, holding the arms aided by the alliance to keep one side safe.
In the past, the manor owners were not cruel, but they were not benevolent either.
400 million Qinggu people are waiting to line up to get into the Shuangcheng area. Who will listen to you and start a resistance movement?
hide?Someone reported it every minute, and if they changed hands, they might get a reward and become a townsman.
Moreover, not to mention things so far away, little Crocker dreamed that he was some kind of chairman of the mutual aid association, but he couldn't even control the mutual aid association.
When Jason Morgan came from the estate next door, he really came alone.At the gate of Crocker Manor, the door opened by itself.He randomly grabbed a small leader of the militia standing guard and asked where little Crocker was. He hesitated for a moment and then showed him the way.
At the entrance of the conference hall, there were many militiamen guarding with guns and live ammunition.A group of people blocked the door but were tangled and hesitant. Jason Morgan walked inside without saying a word, with crossed rifles blocking the way, so he just pushed away.As a result, none of the militiamen came up to rough him up.
Even after he walked over, he turned his head again and gave a call. In the name of the alliance, the captains who guarded the gate looked at each other a few times, and they really led people to follow him into the conference hall.
When little Crocker was arrested and dragged out, he still felt that Jason Morgan had premeditated. In his manor, he had placed manpower in advance, and he was going to do it at this time.
Conscience of heaven and earth, Jason Morgan really didn't have any staff.
He heard the news, and then came, and then, the militia all voted, what should we do?
Or, is there a possibility: from the beginning to the end, there are no people from you, and these people are all from me at the beginning?
At this level, what kind of non-violent non-cooperative resistance movement is going to be done, and the negotiation capital with the alliance is almost enough.
Jason Morgan's evaluation of Crocker Jr. is that he is a young man who has taken over the assets of his predecessors, has great ambitions but has no practical ability, only dreams of youth, and is seriously out of touch with reality.
Of course, Jason Morgan didn't kill Crocker Jr.
House arrest and detention will do.If there is a crime in the future, it will be judged by the Union Court, and he will not do this job.
And in the conference hall, the so-called committee members of the other mutual aid associations also woke up like a dream when they saw Crocker being dragged out by people who were supposed to be his cronies.
Those who are already quite sober and think that Crocker is going crazy will not say anything. Others who were really moved by Crocker's speech and who don't want to lose their wealth and initiative, It was really silent at the moment.
From the mutiny of the militia... No, it can't be said to be a mutiny. From the beginning to the end, they put the priority of obeying the officials of the alliance higher than the members of the mutual aid society.
The armed forces are not obedient, so what else is there to say?
Now, they can only be thankful that Jason Morgan came before they had time to make noise when little Crocker was talking nonsense just now, otherwise how embarrassing it would be now?
Fortunately, Jason Morgan didn't pursue this matter too much.
He took advantage of the committee meeting convened by Crocker Jr., and by the way, the topic fell on how to protect the alliance army in the future, including the supplies needed by the militia regiment that was assembled to receive unified deployment.
The Central Army Group going south has a total of seven divisions and brigades, and more than 15 regular soldiers; the militia in the Beiqinggu area will have a scale of about [-].Relevant material supply is a major issue. It is necessary to plan supply teams, allocate vehicles, repair roads, and prepare materials...
All in one mind.
Jason Morgan no longer cares about the episode that Crocker made, how to deal with the follow-up work is what he cares most about.
The committee members spoke enthusiastically and offered advice one by one.This one says how much food I can provide, that one says how many workers I can mobilize to build roads; this one says my manor can be used as a gathering point, that one says my manor is suitable for a material distribution hub...
After clearing their minds, the committee members turned into activists one by one.
As Mr. Morgan himself said, everyone should show proper loyalty.
Well, our loyalty now is quite absolute!
However, soon their 'loyalty' was tested again.
A militia captain broke in from the outside.
He was a little hesitant looking at the situation at the beginning, but Jason Morgan let him speak directly, so he told the situation directly.
It turned out that the patrol outside sent back an alarm that a huge wave of aberrations was about to attack Crocker Manor.
I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, these monsters came at just the right time.
The northern area of the Green Valley was relatively less affected by the wave of aberrant monsters, but it was not uncommon.The main habitat of this monster is the forest.
The dense wilderness that almost covers the entire Daqing Valley area extends in all directions.And those mutated monsters grow in the forest, grow stronger in the forest, and attack in all directions through the forest.
In the Qinggu area, there is no difference between the rear and the front when dealing with the infestation of the wave of aberrant monsters.As long as it is on the edge of the forest, or not too far away from the forest, it is dangerous.
It is said that the Qinggu area has a population of tens of millions, but on a land of more than 600 million square kilometers, such a small number of people... can be called a vast land and sparsely populated.Except for the scattered plantations and the roads connecting the plantations, most of the other areas are basically wilderness, which is beyond the reach of human beings.
It is normal for a wave of aberrations to emerge from nowhere.
In the conference hall, the committee members who had just expressed their loyalty one by one, showing how loyal they were, fell silent.
Someone murmured and said, "How about... evacuate first? The defense of Crocker Manor is still good, but we can't help if we stay here. Why don't we go back to our homes first? Crocker Manor, wait until the support arrives, and then work together to repel this wave?"
Someone took the lead, and someone followed:
"Yes, yes, Mr. Morgan, you don't have to stand up here, let's withdraw first..."
Jason Morgan just raised his hand: "Gentlemen, gentlemen."
After two sounds in a row, everyone calmed down.
He continued: "We are not going anywhere today, we are here. Our work is not over yet. Little Crocker has created an opportunity for us. It is hard to gather such a full committee meeting. We must take advantage of this Opportunity, to finalize some of the next work. Otherwise, it will be really difficult to get everyone together next time."
After a pause, he continued: "As for the enemy we will face next... we must fully trust the militia we have formed. I am fully confident in the defense of Crocker Manor."
"We will never let our soldiers face the enemy alone. We must stand with them. This is also our way of showing loyalty to the governor. I believe everyone is steadfast in this."
"Am i right?"
The crowd fell silent.
You want to court death, why did you bring us along?
That's the wave of aberrations!
We have all heard the news that the captain just came to report back!
At least more than one hundred thousand monsters are coming!
How many militias are there at Crocker Manor?This is indeed the headquarters of the Mutual Aid Society, and there are two refugee camps nearby, with a population of more than 50 people.But despite this, the entire Beiqinggu area is still too large, with [-] militiamen stationed separately, and the number of militiamen nearby is currently no more than [-].And the militiamen in Crocker Manor are no more than [-]!
Faced with a wave of [-] aberrations, it is difficult to stop it even with walls!
Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, let the militiamen stick to it, then evacuate the personnel, and then continuously mobilize forces from the surrounding area to deal with it.
If you really can't hold it...then how many people can be evacuated, just give up if you give up here.
Otherwise, what else can we do?
Why did Jason Morgan go crazy and stay here?
Morgan didn't bother to explain to them.
Crocker Manor and the two surrounding refugee camps have a combined population of 50 people and are densely populated in the Beiqinggu area.Evacuation and evacuation are easy to say, what is the concept of 50 people, and where is it easy to evacuate?
These people are cowardly.
The current militia, can it be the same as their old concept?After receiving the military aid from the alliance, the firepower has long been much stronger than the armed forces they formed by themselves.
There is no need to worry too much.
He continued to chair the meeting and arrange the work.
This working meeting will not last for a short time, and it cannot be completed in a few hours.In the evening, everyone went to rest with a lot of worries, and it is estimated that they will continue to drive the next day.
It can take two or three days to settle the whole thing down.
However, by the next morning, things started to go awry.
In the morning, the front line of defense lost two in a row.
This even forced Jason Morgan to temporarily suspend the committee meeting and let the committee members discuss themselves first, while he pulled a military observer assigned from the army who just arrived last night to discuss the situation on the front line .
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so easy to be pierced.
However, the explanation given by the military observers made Jason Morgan, a semi-military blind, a little bit more aware of the seriousness of the current situation.
"...This cluster of aberrations cannot be viewed from the previous scattered perspective. In addition to the huge number, there are many advanced variants among them."
"If it's just an ordinary abscess monster, it's easy to deal with; but there are a lot of abscess ejectors among them, and there is a super-heavy monster with a body height of more than three meters and a lower body that wriggles like a rotting worm The monster, its positioning is like a biological artillery. The shooting distance exceeds ten kilometers. The frontal bombing will bring extremely strong corrosion. had a huge impact."
"There is also a large-scale biochemical hound with a body length of more than 1.5 meters. It is very fast and can spit out corrosive pus. In close combat, it is very difficult for the militia to fight against it."
After hearing this, Jason Morgan had a headache.
He thought for a while and said, "I'm going to the front line to see."
"Okay." The military observer took him to the front line.
Of course, it was not too close to the front line. Across the third front line, which was about to be exchanged fire, there was still a distance of about two kilometers, and he saw the tragedy with a telescope.
In half an hour, there were at least [-] militia casualties.
Obviously, this line of defense couldn't hold it anymore.
Jason Morgan had no choice but to continue watching. He was pulled into the car by military observers and ran back.
He didn't stop until he reached the fourth line of defense.
This was the last line of defense outside Crocker Manor, consisting of ditches, foxholes, and small bunkers built with sandbags.Further back is the manor wall.
Morgan's heart is heavy now.
Damn, it's not like just bragging, you really want to have a big wave, right?
