Fire Monster

Chapter 98 Struggle under the rules
"Commander, we are old acquaintances. Why are you targeting us like this?"

Seeing that Ding Wanjin was only planning to wipe out the entire family, some people finally calmed down and started to speak nicely.

"Haha, I'm not targeting you. You just don't understand until now that you no longer belong to the first-line elite battalion of the Demon Suppression Division, not even the second line. You have been eliminated to the third line, so don't act so arrogantly in front of me."

"The pioneer camp has its own rules. That's all I have to say!"

"Old Deng! Do you really think I dare not kill you?"

Another big man slammed the table and stood up, but this time Ding Wanjin didn't need to say anything. Liu Yuwei directly activated the broadsword and locked onto him.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanshan and Sun Zei looked at each other. Although they were reluctant, they had to follow Liu Yuwei and pretend to rush in front of Ding Wanjin to protect him.

They could understand those people's demands and express sympathy, but at the same time they despised Lao Deng'er's plan to wipe out the entire family, but that was all.

Because they have to stay consistent with Liu Yuwei.

Who made Liu Yuwei a vested interest?

Of course, being in Zhao Guanshan's position, he could see the situation clearly as a bystander.

Today, the Demon Suppression Division is leading the pack and launching a new round of industrial revolution. Although the Governor is poor, he has great ambitions. In this situation, what can ordinary people do?
If you don't want to be crushed into dust, you have to go with the flow and work hard to become a capitalist in cultivation as soon as possible.

"Deng Jiu, I advise you to calm down. You dare to threaten the commander of the first battalion. According to the law, you have committed a serious crime of insubordination. Do you want to see your wife and children become criminals from now on? Why don't you kneel down and apologize!"

Liu Yuwei shouted.

The big man named Deng Jiu was struck by lightning when he heard this. His face changed for a while, and finally he knelt down with great frustration.

He is an orphan, but the Chief Secretary arranged a wife for him after he graduated at the age of seventeen. Now he has an eight-year-old daughter and a three-year-old son. What else can he do?
At this point, Liu Yuwei put away her broadsword and then bowed to Ding Wanjin, who was sitting there with a sneer on his face, and said, "Commander, Deng Jiu is just ignorant and stupid, and his words are offensive. Please show some mercy and give him a lighter sentence!"

Ding Wanjin still sneered, glanced at Liu Yuwei, frowned slightly, as if he was displeased, but the next second he suddenly laughed, and the whole person became gentle.

"But, a serious crime can be forgiven, but it cannot be exempted from punishment. Deng Jiu, you take your team to execute the first thing I said. If there is any mistake, or if you return to your old ways, then I will never let you off lightly, and I will punish you for both crimes!"

"Thank you, thank you, Commander!"

Deng Jiu no longer had the courage he had just now.

"Okay, no need to be so nervous. Hurry up and inform your subordinates. If anyone wants to redeem merits today, come quickly. Don't miss this great opportunity. Hahaha!"

Ding Wanjin laughed heartily, very happy. The reason why he wanted to win over Liu Yuwei was just for this moment.

The Governor is now penniless and cannot offer better treatment to appease these arrogant soldiers and generals, and that is not realistic, so he can only make these people suffer.

At this point, no one dared to refute anything and left in anger. Liu Yuwei also brought Zhao Guanshan and Sun Zei out to discuss the matter.

"Zhao Guanshan, what do you think?"

"That old man Ding Wanjin is probably using our first team as a transition. Once he can stabilize the situation, he will turn against us at any time."

"But the problem is that we have been tied to his chariot. My suggestion is that if we are not firm in our stance, it is better not to stand in the same line."

"But you also said that Ding Wanjin could get upset at any time. Just now, when I pleaded for Deng Jiu, Ding Wanjin was obviously very unhappy."

Liu Yuwei was obviously hesitant.

"Brother Sun, what do you think?"

Zhao Guanshan gave the problem to Sun Zei, who was actually the think tank of the team, although he was not that good in reality.

Sun Ze smiled bitterly, "Captain, you are already the deputy commander. If anything goes wrong, we will be the culprit. So we can only apologize to the other teams."

"Also, Captain, don't you know the nature of the civil servants in the Chief Secretary's office? They are just a bunch of skinners who squeeze the marrow out of people. So don't expect to become Ding Wanjin's confidant, and don't believe in his promises and the so-called future."

"The Demon Suppression Department is deadly, and the Provincial Administration Department is a blood sucker. There is no such thing as good things in this world. I think it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to get more benefits. What do you think, Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Guanshan pondered for a long time and then said, "Captain, how many merits do you have?"

"There are still three hundred points. I haven't accumulated much--"

"Very good. My suggestion is to exchange all these merits, add my merits, and see if there are any brothers in the team who are willing to join us. We can directly offer Ding Wanjin a price of 1:7. Under the current circumstances, he will agree."

"Brother Zhao, are you crazy? What is valuable now is merit, not the Dao Palace's money!"

Sun Zei spoke in shock.

"But if we can exchange them at a ratio of 1 to 7, we won't lose anything and may even make some money!"

"I don't understand what you are talking about, Brother Zhao. It's not easy for the team to save up this much wealth!"

Sun Zei shook his head. He strongly disagreed.

"The Governor's Office will soon usher in a wave of great development. This separation represents a compromise between the Governor's Office and the Demon Suppression Office. One is responsible for internal affairs, and the other is responsible for external affairs. Therefore, even if the Dao Palace's big money depreciates again, it will definitely be controlled within a certain limit."

"Believe me, it is better to rely on the Dao Palace's big money than on Ding Wanjin's character. This is the lifeblood and rule of the Chief Secretary. We have to fight them within their rules and use their rules. There is no other way. These people will not kill you, but they will really suck your blood."

Zhao Guanshan advised sincerely, the current situation was clear at a glance.

Either you serve as Ding Wanjin's dog and then wait for the dog to be cooked after the rabbit dies.

Or he could take the upper hand in advance and use the resources in his hands to force and induce Ding Wanjin to cooperate. Although this would definitely offend Ding Wanjin, it could at least reasonably avoid certain risks.

When dealing with the Chief Secretary, your life will not be in danger as long as you do not rebel.

But you will definitely be sucked dry.

So how to operate is important.

"Let's go back and gather the brothers to study it."

Liu Yuwei thought about it and decided not to make a decision in a hurry.

Zhao Guanshan didn't care. Compared with Liu Yuwei and the first team who were trapped in a difficult situation, he didn't care about Ding Wanjin, because he had some unethical tricks and ways to take advantage of others.

You won't lose no matter what.

At this moment, everyone in the team was not in the barracks, but outside the camp tinkering with the two rail vehicles. Seeing Zhao Guanshan and the other two approaching, Mo Laoer immediately stepped forward, looking angry, "Captain, those guys in the Fenwei Camp are too wicked. Not only did they take away the psychic heavy crossbow, they also damaged the rail vehicle and it can't be started at all. How can we patrol without the rail vehicle?"

Liu Yuwei hesitated a little when she heard this. She hadn't figured out how to start the conversation yet.

If the content of the military meeting just now was brought up, the First Team would be furious.

Seeing this, Zhao Guanshan pretended to be interested and stepped forward quickly, "Come on, brothers, make way for me, let me see what's going on."

A group of people quickly made way.

Sun Zei even clapped his hands and cheered, "Yes, I almost forgot, Brother Zhao is a liberal arts major, he must know more about this stuff than us, be quiet, don't disturb Brother Zhao while he's repairing it."

Zhao Guanshan ignored them and walked forward quickly and walked around the rail chariot. This thing was a modified Five Spirits Train, so it was actually thirty meters long, but not as wide as the Imperial Seal Chariot.

Many signs of disassembly can be clearly seen on it, but there are no signs of violent destruction.

In particular, he deliberately lay on the ground and observed the chassis of the rail vehicle, and there was not even any sign of disassembly.

When you enter the rail vehicle, you will see that it is divided into three areas. The first area is the driver's cab, and it uses a secondary sealing method, which should be used to ensure the safety of the driver's cab.

The second area is spacious and can accommodate twenty people waiting here fully armed.

There is an exit above, and you can climb onto the roof to fight.

There are four doors on both sides, so you can attack quickly from both sides when necessary.

The third area is the living area. Judging from the beds, it can accommodate twenty people to rest.

One rail tank has a crew of 20 people, and two rail tanks can carry exactly 40 people.

If I remember correctly, the first and second teams were responsible for internal and external security patrols in the Fenwei Camp. They didn't even need to go out to destroy the Demon Mother's lair. They only needed to guard the house to get a lot of merit.

Zhao Guanshan walked around for a while before finally pushing open the door of the cab.

The layout here looks very familiar. After all, we are all human beings, so ergonomics must be the criterion. Earthlings will not let drivers suffer for no reason.

Neither will the world.

In fact, it did quite well.

Sitting in the huge and comfortable driving seat made of some unknown leather, oh my, the wrapping feeling is more than just comfortable, Zhao Guanshan doesn't even want to stand up.

Directly in front is a circular steering gear, pretty much the same.

Under the feet are pedals similar to brakes and accelerators, and on the left and right sides are four joysticks of different lengths, and there are two pull rods directly above.

But this is just the normal driving mode. There is also a huge set of seats in the co-pilot position. There is only a cubic pillar here. There is a groove above the pillar. A jade ball with a diameter of about ten centimeters is embedded in it, and it is covered with mysterious runes.

This is the driving seat that can be used by Qi Refiners. By manipulating the jade ball, various operations can be completed.

But it is rarely used unless there is an emergency and the normal driving mode is disturbed.

After looking around, Zhao Guanshan pushed hard at a certain position, and there was a clicking sound of gears turning. Then a heavy lid slowly rose up, revealing an empty groove inside.

But just by looking at the style inside, even the killers with a military background would understand what's going on.

"Damn it! Those bastards from the Fenwei Camp actually took away all the energy storage spirit stones of the orbital chariot!"

Mo Laoer started cursing, and everyone was filled with indignation.

It’s not that they didn’t think of this possibility, but early this morning, the two rail tanks were still running normally. Who could have thought that the people in the Fenwei Camp would be so despicable?

It’s not that they are stupid!

Really.

At this time, Zhao Guanshan came out and asked Liu Yuwei.

"Mr. Deputy Commander, what should we do about this? I looked at the capacity. It can hold a thousand energy storage spirit stones at a time. Even if there is a half-price discount, it is still 50 coins. If this orbital chariot patrols day and night, it will need to be replaced about once every fifteen days. If it is replaced twice a month, it will be 100 coins. If there are two chariots, it will be coins."

"The commander only gave us two thousand coins a month for expenses. Why don't you go and ask if this part of the expenses can be exempted from the general account of the development camp?"

"Wait, Brother Zhao, what are you talking about? Our team gets 2,000 yuan a month. What does that mean?"

Mo Laoer, Wang Chen, Yu Che and others gathered around, as this matter concerned their own interests, and no one was vague. After all, due to the policies of the Baidao Palace, everyone had a bunch of weaknesses behind them. Their own life and death did not matter, but their families had to be settled and survive.

"There will be no five-day replenishment of supplies, and no merits to be won. Our team will be responsible for patrolling inside and outside the city, and we will receive a subsidy of 2,000 coins every month."

Sun Zei took the opportunity to quickly explain it.

"And then, nothing?"

"Gone!"

"Damn that old bastard with a dead face, he wants to die, does he want to test whether my broadsword is sharp? Captain, you can't just sit back and watch this happen, two thousand big coins, who can use them? What's more, we have to use them for daily expenses, how much will be left for the brothers in the end?"

"That old bitch is really not afraid of our rebellion!"

Mo Laoer jumped three feet high, he was extremely angry. At this moment, as long as Liu Yuwei gave the order, he would be the first to rush in and chop her into pieces!

Everyone was looking at Liu Yuwei, including Zhao Guanshan.

Some things cannot be solved just by compromising or escaping. There are 37 people in their team, and how much are the daily expenses? Do you think that you can just help Ding Wanjin suppress Deng Jiu and that's it?

At this moment, Liu Yuwei finally spoke.

"My dear brothers, this is all my fault. I have dragged you all down."

"Originally, we could have been selected into the Endeavour Battalion and become elite, but now we have been eliminated."

"I know everyone is angry, but anger can't solve the problem."

"So, I am willing to compensate everyone. I still have 300 points of merit accumulated in my hand. I will convert them all into Dao Palace money and divide them equally among the brothers."
