Chapter 782: Out of Reach
After saying that, Xia Feng looked at Gleason.
"General, I didn't ask you in advance about grain storage, and I don't know if my doing this will have an impact on the army."
Gleason didn't mean to blame.
"The army has its own supply channels, you can't influence any military district, as long as you think it's necessary, do what you want."
"So what should I do next?"
Gleason's eyes darkened slightly.
"What's next? I do not know. ”
"General?"
I didn't expect Gleason to say "I don't know".
This was the reason why Xia Feng deliberately came to the door, he just wanted to know what Gleasson's plan was in this situation, so he could cooperate.
"General..... You.... I'm not sure about something. ”
Gleason didn't answer, but got up from his chair and walked to the window.
Looking out the window with his back to Xia Feng, he asked in a deep voice.
"Xia Feng, what do you think of the north now?"
Xia Feng said frankly.
"It's chaotic in the north right now."
"Is it confusing? But the chaos is confined to the infected, to be precise, the infected who live illegally, and most of the ordinary people with citizenship cards are not affected at all, and even many people are gloating at home, watching the illegal infected people being expelled. ”
Xia Feng nodded.
"Indeed."
"Do you think the same situation will happen in the south in the future as in the north now?"
"This ....."
At this moment, Xia Feng seemed to understand something.
....
Seeing Xia Feng's sudden expression, Gleason continued.
"The operation of rectification needs to be carried out by the army, and as long as General Aumont and I are alive, we will not allow this to happen, and we will not agree with such an order unless King Wilansen personally orders it."
"That is?"
"That's right, there will definitely not be the same situation in the south as in the north at the moment, what may happen is only the last extreme measures."
...
Xia Feng understood what General Gleason was saying.
If the Empire were determined to extend the Infected to the south, there would only be two scenarios.
One, the infected and ordinary people will be safe.
Second, everyone will be affected, and no one in the storm will be immune, whether it is the infected or ordinary people.
....
Standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back, Gleason said comfortingly to Xia Feng.
"There is a high probability that such a situation will not occur, and the ruler of a country will not be so stupid as this, unless ......"
Xia Feng raised his eyebrows.
"General, unless what?"
Gleason hesitated.
"It's nothing, as long as General Aumont and I are here, that kind of thing won't happen, the current turmoil is only temporary, soon the south and north will return to the way they used to be, the title of nobility is gone, and you can continue to open your chamber of commerce."
Xia Feng didn't think the truth would be as optimistic as Gleason said.
"General, what can I do if it happens?"
Gleason turned around, and at this moment, there was a meaning in his eyes that Xia Feng did not understand.
His gaze was like looking at a spark of hope, but at the same time, he was worried that the spark would be extinguished in the storm.
For a long time, Gleason whispered.
"If it happens, you can go, leave Victoria, and live well."
....
The conversation was over, and Xia Feng left Yehua City.
The meeting with General Gleeson did not get any of the answers he wanted, and as commander-in-chief of the Frontier Military District, Gleason did not even help him show the way and tell him what to do.
If the existence of Black Feather was a pawn of Gleason, now this pawn has been abandoned.
Of course, it's not because this chess piece has no use value, but because Gleason seems to have developed feelings for this chess piece.
He didn't want this chess piece to be drowned in a torrent of steel after it had finished its work.
However, Xia Feng has developed a rebellious mentality, just like a rebellious teenager who deliberately goes against the wishes of his elders.
No matter what happens, as long as Vina doesn't leave, he won't leave Victoria, and since the general doesn't want to "use" him, then he will go it alone.
....
After returning to Harpy City, Black Feather's various businesses are in full swing.
Xia Feng paid a lot of money to hire infected people from surrounding cities, and increased the mining capacity of the light manganese mining area to the limit, eager to hollow it out.
The acquisition and processing of source stones is no longer even hidden, and in addition to Casimir, he has also begun to blatantly collect source stones in some cities in the south.
Individuals who didn't know about it before finally took out the source stone from their private collection in the face of an extremely high purchase price.
The city of Harpy has become the busiest medium-sized city in the south, with trucks full of goods constantly driving in and out, and the entrances to each city are guarded by Black Feather's younger brother.
In this regard, the local security bureau almost lost its law enforcement power, and they all understood that whoever dared to provoke Xia Feng at this time would be looking for their own death.
....
Until nightfall, the Black Feather Grill was also in a tense atmosphere, and Xia Feng had been sitting behind the innermost desk directing various businesses, as if he was tireless.
I don't know when, in the house opposite the barbecue restaurant, the curtain on the second floor window that has been closed all year round opened a gap.
In the dark room, Sheena sits quietly in a chair with a pony toy, and next to her are two women covered in white gauze.
In front of the window, the thin teenager looked through the gap in the curtain and threw the deep present to the barbecue restaurant opposite.
"Stygian snow, it's been too long, my memory is not very good, what year is this year?"
One of the gauze men replied respectfully.
"This year is 1094."
The boy's gaze did not change, as if he was accustomed to any major event.
"1094, then, it's about to begin."
....
....
A few days later.
An important directive from the Imperial Disaster Prevention and Control Department completely disrupted all preparations for Xia Feng.
[Notting City, a large city in the south, the main urban area with mobile capabilities, moves 300 kilometers to the north, except for the main urban area, all other urban areas are abandoned, and this natural disaster order is immediately implemented by the Southern Military Region. 】
The Acts of God Directive, which is a unified directive with the highest priority for implementation by all countries in the world.
According to the Imperial Department of Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, a natural disaster in the south was predicted in advance.
There is a possibility that the area of the natural disaster will radiate to the city of Notting, so the main city must be moved north to minimize the damage.
...
After knowing this order, Xia Feng was stunned.
The large cities of Terra World use mobile technology supported by Source Stone Technology to avoid natural disasters, which he has known for a long time, but he didn't expect it to happen in his lair.
Having experienced the Mandel City incident, he knew very well that if a natural disaster struck, even the strongest city would disappear in an instant.
If there is no mobile technology, then the city can only be abandoned, and if there is, then mobility is inevitable.
However, it is unheard of for a natural disaster to move the main city of Notting City 300 kilometers north.
....
Without the main urban area, it will be impossible for the city of Notting to rebuild, and the remaining seven urban districts will not even be able to relocate resources.
Everything will be destroyed by natural disasters.
After that, the city of Notting, 300 kilometers away, will be out of reach for him.
