After the two of them finished talking about the business, they started chatting, talking about things that neither of them knew about each other without any burden. One time it was the secrets of the Federation, and the other time it was the news from the East. Mr. Jack was very knowledgeable, and Du Lin found it interesting when he was chatting. Perhaps because of the influence of dreams, he was a little sensitive to the word "East" and couldn't help asking about news about the East.
In fact, the empire had already had contact with the East more than 170 years ago, but at that time the war was intense, and the wars between the Shangya Dynasty, the Guart Kingdom and the Yaoxing Kingdom were almost uninterrupted. The visiting Eastern delegation saw this and left directly. Later, the other party came twice more. Each time they came, it was always during a war. The continuous wars made Easterners think that the West was a barbaric country, so they broke off contact.
After that, the empire eliminated the Shanya Dynasty and the Guarte Kingdom, and achieved partial unification. The inconspicuous merchant alliance in the south established a country. The north and the south were in confrontation, and there were often conflicts between the two sides. Under such circumstances, the Empire and the Federation did not send missions to contact the Easterners who might be on the other side of the world. On the one hand, it was because of the lack of navigation technology. Before knowing how far away the other party was, no one could guarantee that they would still be there after going to sea. Can come back.
Secondly, the empire and the federation focused their energy on each other, and did not have the time or financial resources to support a large-scale voyage mission. So the matter dragged on, and instead merchants, smugglers, slave traders and escapees began their journey to explore the Eastern world. No matter what their purpose was or what result they wanted to obtain, they discovered the Eastern Continent and brought back some exquisite specialty goods.
According to these people, the East is a very interesting place. Their system and civilization are obviously different from here, which makes many people full of curiosity about the mysterious East. If the journey hadn't been too far and there were too many problems on the way, maybe everyone would have started exploring the eastern world long ago.
The two were chatting happily when suddenly Thomson knocked on the door and walked in after getting Dulin's permission. He nodded to Mr. Jack with some embarrassment. He did not know this person, but the mayor was able to solemnly entertain this distinguished guest here. It was obvious that the identity or status of the other party was very special.
"Mr. Jack is my friend and will be my important partner in the future. He can and has the right to know anything in this city." Dulin used a word, this city, this is in Remind Thomson that if it has nothing to do with official matters, talk about it in private.
Mr. Jack also heard the meaning of Dulin's words and did not feel anything wrong with it. He smiled and nodded slightly to Dulin, and then looked at Thomson.
Thomson's lips moved before he said: "There is a problem at the construction site in the center of the city. Some people are preventing us from bulldozing the land."
Du Lin was stunned. Mr. Jack frowned first, and then said to Du Lin half-jokingly: "I didn't expect that in your city, there are still people who don't give you face. These people are so brave, which surprised me a little."
His words were indeed a joke, but behind the joke he also intentionally reminded Dulin that you have to deal with these people, otherwise people will question your control over the city.
Du Lin also reacted. When he stood up, Mr. Jack also stood up. Du Lin knew what he meant and did not object. He walked towards the door with a sullen face. Soon, the two cars, one behind the other, rolled up the dust on the road and ran towards the city center.
The car Du Lin took was picked up from Namirides. He only arrived at the Audis in the morning. It was not a luxury car. It was just an ordinary car. It cost just over 10,000 yuan. It was considered a good car for ordinary people. .
When Dulin was still some distance away from the city center, he saw two AT-1s parked on the side of the road, surrounded by a large group of people. These people looked very excited, and among them there was an old man who used his crutch to hit the mechanical leg that was several times thicker than his whole body from time to time, and kept pushing and intimidating the operators.
AT-1 is a weapons carrying platform. It looks like a crab with six legs. It is twelve meters above the ground. It can carry four field guns or sixteen large-caliber linkage cannons. It can also carry one Completely woven security tactical fortress. AT-1 is currently in a semi-retired state. This mature weapon-carrying platform has encountered many problems during the war. The AT-3 weapon-carrying platform has begun to be installed, and the entire army will soon eliminate the AT-1.
The AT-1's performance and excellent performance in all aspects were indeed eye-catching. In order to suppress domestic extremist ethnic organizations and various resistance forces, as well as form a force deterrent to the federation, a large number of this type of weapon-carrying platform was produced. As for a small accident during the replacement process—for example, there are still almost 140,000 units of AT-1 in the warehouse untouched, and they are all brand new.
Such a huge waste has caused many patriots to put forward many "moderate" opinions on this. Finally, at the request of Maggs, the original manufacturer of AT-1 must make a matching and refitable engineering street to allow this This war weapon became a construction machine.
The two planes here in Dulin were sent to him by Governor Harry, just to help him complete the city's transformation as soon as possible, and about five or six more will arrive in Odis later.
The original purpose of these machines was to serve in war, so they are faster, more stable, and more powerful than ordinary construction machinery. A house can be demolished into a pile of rubble in just ten minutes. Especially since such modification allows each AT-1 to operate in multiple threads, and four operators can operate four huge engineering arms at the same time, which is far more efficient. For general construction machinery. It is precisely for this reason that the empire has closed down a large number of machinery production factories in the past two years!
Seeing those people surrounding the two construction machinery to prevent them from operating and being aggressive towards the driving operators, Dulin frowned slightly, opened the door and walked out. Just before he closed the car door, he lowered his head and said, "Crash it over!"
Thomson, who was sitting in the passenger seat, almost jumped up. Are you kidding? If you hit such a dense crowd, there would definitely be casualties. But he couldn't guarantee whether the driver would really listen to the mayor, so he immediately said something "I'm going down too." He opened the door and got out of the car.
Dulin walked to Mr. Jack's car, opened the door and got in. He ordered the driver, "Go to the side and go around twice before driving over."
The driver didn't ask Mr. Jack what he wanted and started the car directly.
"This method is a bit barbaric!" Mr. Jack said with a straight face, but he soon burst into laughter, "But it's very useful!"
He is a very smart man, otherwise he would not be in his current position. If Dulin, as mayor, went over and negotiated with the group of citizens who seemed very excited to solve this problem, it might take a month or even a year. All to no avail. People sometimes do not oppose something because of necessity, but rather for the sake of opposition. Negotiating with these people will yield nothing but anger, but the other person will probably be very happy.
The best way is to disperse this group of people first to prevent them from joining together to create a group effect, and then "negotiating" them with the few people who find the key, and the rest of the matter will naturally be solved. In fact, this method is nothing more than differentiation, coercion, and inducement. It can be said that it has been beaten to death by people a long time ago, but this method is still the most effective.
Mr. Jack also thought about how to solve such a problem if he encountered it, but he never thought that Dulin could use the most direct method in the shortest time.
Sure enough, all successful people cannot be underestimated.
Duffer lit a cigarette, took out a bottle of wine from the passenger compartment, and poured it on himself. He took two deep puffs of cigarette, collected the ashes in the palm of his hand, poured a little wine and smeared it on his face. Then he looked at the group of people carefully, and found a few guys who seemed to be the leaders in the crowd. He stepped on the pedal of the power cabin, and the car swayed slightly with a xiu sound and rushed out, like a sharp arrow leaving the string. !
In fact, the speed of this car is very high, which is only forty yards, but in this era and period, it is already considered a very fast car.
Soon some people noticed that the car approaching from a distance didn't seem to be slowing down at all. Some people ran away in panic, but some people reacted a little slower and stayed in place...
It was already a few minutes later when the newly appointed police chief, Hayter, rode up. He just glanced at the man lying on the ground, who seemed drunk, with a muddy face, and ordered the police officer behind him to take this person away. Guy took it back before starting to deal with the accident. An old man and two young men were knocked down because they could not dodge. It seemed that the old man was the most seriously injured. After all, his reflexes and physical skills had already declined with age, so he was the one who was hit the hardest.
One leg was covered in blood and was lying on the ground wailing. The other two young men had no serious problems, just scratches.
Haite had someone lift the old man onto a horse, and then ordered someone to take him to the hospital—a hospital with only nurses and no doctors, and then began to deal with the accident here.
He looked up at the people around him, took out a small notebook and a pen, and asked: "Who asked you to gather here, who is the convener and person in charge?"
The real initiator was already screaming on horseback and was taken to the hospital. The eyes of others couldn't help but fall on a young man. The young man was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know who pushed him. Walked out from the crowd.
He was also affected by the car accident just now. His arms were slightly bruised and his elbow was broken. It looked like he was seriously injured. There was blood on his sleeves, but it was actually just a minor injury.
Haight took a good look at the guy, ready to record, "What's your name?"
The young man was silent for a while and then said: "Dewell."
I will update it during the day tomorrow. There are too many things to do at night. I mainly watch my boss do his homework, and then push my second child out for a walk. When I come back, I have to give the baby a bath and a lot of balabala. I will update it during the day.
