Chapter 197: One Eye of the Stone Man
"What a great actor!"

Inside the 011 fortification, Chen Jian gritted his teeth and said after reading He Shuo's report.

He had indeed long suspected that there was something wrong with Jincheng's reaction, and he also knew that their cooperation was not sincere.

But he had not expected that this "saint" of the Mechanicus could achieve this level.

When he was outside, he was respectful, frank and sincere, and looked like he had changed for the better.

Behind the scenes, they completely tore off their disguise, deliberately trying to grasp the last straw and drag the Chinese army into the abyss.

I have to say that his character is indeed worthy of his current position.

If He Shuo had successfully used the ultra-micro reconnaissance drone to enter the most secretive "Great Library" with the help of Jin Zhong, I am afraid that until now, everyone would still be wavering between the decision of "killing" and "not killing" because of the attitude shown by the other party.

From this point of view, Jincheng's judgment of the "enemy" is also quite sharp.

He not only knows what he wants, but also what his enemy wants.

He knew very well that what the Chinese Army wanted was "stability", so he deliberately created the illusion of stability in exchange for the Mechanicus and his own survival.

Tsk.

This guy has evil ambitions and must be eliminated!
Chen Jian took a deep breath and then said:
“The situation is now basically clear.”

"The Mechanicus is actually using a method that we are currently unaware of to guide the beast tide, and this method is likely related to the concept of the 'Monster Vacuum'."

"It is very likely that there is a direct connection between the monster vacuum and the beast tide, and the migration of monsters caused by the empty territory is the precursor to the beast tide."

"This also explains why most human settlements try their best to avoid conflicts with other monsters in the area."

"Monsters are both a threat and a barrier."

"Maintaining a basic balance is the best strategy. If the balance is broken, it is bound to lead to a war between humans and monsters."

“And now, we’ve tipped the balance to a great extent.”

“But no one knows whether that threshold has been crossed.”

"We don't have much time left, we must prepare early!"

As soon as Chen Jian finished speaking, Lei Jie nodded and said:
"Yes, we should sort out the focus of our next work as soon as possible."

"On the one hand, we need to take drastic measures to overthrow the supreme leader of the Mechanicus in Jinling City and support a 'saint' who is beneficial to us to come to power."

"On the other hand, we must also find out the specific situation of the beast tide as soon as possible so as to prepare countermeasures."

"The intelligence we have now is still too limited."

"A monster that can destroy a machine soul, a strange omen that can change the weather, or a biological weapon that can reach farther than a cannon. This vague judgment is not enough to support us in making countermeasures."

"We need to get into the Great Library and get all the information there."

“That is, we need.”

"Really take control of Jinling City."

Shen Yue interrupted:
“But we have to rely on other people’s help.”

"And this person must be from the Mechanicus."

"Only in this way can we control the chaotic impact of the 'religious war' and maintain a relatively stable situation in Jinling City without taking up our own energy and efficiency."

"Then this person is an easy choice."

"Jin Zhong, or Zhang Tao?"

After the words were spoken, everyone in the combat command room fell silent.

After a moment, Chen Jian said:
"I suggest Zhang Tao."

"This man is an opportunist, but his ability and ambition are stronger than Jin Zhong's."

"A person without ambition cannot control such a big city."

"He may not be the best choice, but he should be the most suitable choice under the current circumstances."

"If he loses control later, we can just replace him!"

"agree."

Everyone expressed their opinions one by one. Chen Jian tapped the table lightly and said, "It's decided then."

"Kill Jincheng and let Zhang Tao take over!"

A few minutes later, in Jinling City.

He Shuo looked at the order coming from fortification 011 and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Zeng Yi, who was standing by, looked at him with some confusion, and then asked:
"Captain, what are you laughing at?"

"This matter is not as easy as imagined. If you want to support Zhang Tao to take the position, it is not as simple as killing Jin Cheng and letting Zhang Tao sit in that position."

"We need to take into account the stability of Jinling City, so we must ensure that Zhang Tao wins enough support and give him a reason to take the position."

"It's harder to accomplish this than to capture Jinling City directly."

"It's really hard."

He Shuo nodded slightly, then said:
"But there is no conflict between the difficulty and my desire to laugh."

"You don't understand. I was probably born to be the type of person who likes to hide in the dark and play tricks. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen to be a sniper."

"Compared to simple combat missions, this kind of thing is more interesting to me."

Having said this, He Shuo put down the PDA in his hand, and after a brief pause, he continued:
"What you said is actually quite right. It is never easy to overthrow the top leadership of a force and to support newcomers to power."

"In most cases, it takes a long time to prepare. This 'long time' can even be as long as a dozen years or even decades."

"But this is just an inference made in a completely rational world."

"If it is in a world with low scientific cognition, have you heard the story of the fish belly red book?"

"No."

Zeng Yi shook his head blankly, while He Shuo explained:

"This is a means of demagoguery or inspiring people."

"It tells the story of a group of peasants who wanted to revolt under the rule of a feudal dynasty in ancient times."

"However, just as the followers of the Mechanicus cannot rebel against the church, these peasants are also bound by a set of implicit rules."

"In the environment they were in, the so-called 'uprising' was actually 'rebellion' and was seriously lacking in legitimacy."

"So where do we find such legitimacy?"

"So he stuffed a red letter written on paper into the fish's belly, with three big characters written on it: Chen Sheng is the King."

"Chen Sheng, that's his name."

“There are many legends like this.”

"What do you mean by 'Don't say the stone man has only one eye'? He stirred up the Yellow River and the whole world rebelled; what do you mean by slaying the white snake with a sword? What do you mean by offering a stele to the Luo River?"

"In short, this is the wisdom of our ancestors."

"And now, coincidentally, the environment we are in is almost the same as it was then, or even better."

"Because the Mechanicus is a religious force, the influence of mysterious forces on them will be even stronger."

"So, what we have to do is actually very simple."

At this point, Zeng Yi already understood everything.

A smile also appeared on his face.

"So you want the so-called 'Holy Trinity' to personally select its spokesperson?"

"almost."

He Shuo let out a long sigh, and then said:

"I have to ask 011 for assistance."

“The cold start speed has to be accelerated to provide us with the necessary support.”

"The time has come."
