"Who do you think is going to kill Dooling?" In the open-air restaurant, the two executive members of the West Mining Association and Hendry were enjoying plump steaks. The sales of top-quality steaks in the West will never be as high as these low-end steaks with more fat. It's easy to sell. The greasier the food is, the better people's appetite will be. This may have something to do with the climate in the west and people's living habits. Even people from other places will fall in love with food that is fatter than other places after living here for a period of time.
Hendry fiddled with the knife and fork in his hand skillfully, and he showed an innocent look, "No matter who it is, it will definitely not be me, but I want to thank this person, he solved a big trouble for us!"
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, nodding in agreement with Hendry's statement. At first, they only wanted to trick Du Lin, and by the way, they also got an additional "handling fee" of nearly one million from him. If they cheated Du Lin with so much money, Du Lin would definitely cause trouble. At the beginning, they did not expect that Dulin would still have such great influence. He was dismissed after the construction accident in Otis City. He came to the west quietly, and everyone regarded him as a loser.
Everyone underestimates his weight.
But the news of the past few days is still fresh in my mind. If he really makes this matter a big deal, the first person to be unlucky is the West Mining Association. Even if the West Mining Association has found enough reasons to reject Du Lin's application for arbitration, There is much to note about this matter itself. Now these troubles have been solved by those lovely assassins. Dulin is being rescued. It is said that the most dangerous bullet almost shattered his head and left a mark on the upper side of his left outer ear. .
The three of them talked about things at Yagur Mountain. Soon after Hendry paid the bill, the three of them stood up and prepared to leave. In the afternoon, they would organize a small internal meeting of the West Mining Association to discuss strengthening Yagur. We will work on the management of Yagur Mountain and strive to obtain a license from the state government, so that the Western Mining Association will manage the mining rules of Yagur Mountain. Once this idea can be realized, the strength of the Western Mining Association in the west will be further enhanced, and even those gold prospectors will have to abide by the system of the Western Mining Association.
It was already the end of February and the beginning of March. The weather had thawed and spring was no longer far away. There were more and more pedestrians on the road, taking off their heavy cotton-padded and fur clothes, which made everyone seem to breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as the three of them were saying goodbye to each other for the last time and were about to leave, suddenly two pedestrians wearing linen trench coats, with their hands in the pockets of the trench coats, and wearing top hats with the brim of their hats pressed low, came over. The moment they passed by the three people, they all took out the pistols hidden in their pockets and pulled the triggers without hesitation at the three people standing on the roadside. The ammunition feeders of both pistols were completely emptied, and then the two men dropped their weapons, turned around, and quickly ran into the alley next to them, disappearing.
The screams of pedestrians and the sirens of police cars soon formed a special music, adding another touch of haze to the west that was already covered with dark clouds!
Assassinations, explosions, and car accidents, the entire West seemed to be in chaos all of a sudden. The news quickly reached the cabinet. The cabinet was furious, and the governors of the three states endured half an hour of verbal abuse on the phone. Finally, the Imperial Minister of Defense told them that if no clues were found within a week, the entire west would be placed under martial law. A large number of terrorist attacks have had a huge impact on the entire society, and even some cities in the south have been affected.
No one likes war. The terrorist attacks that are breaking out in the west are like a prelude to war. Everyone's heart is tightly grasped by an invisible hand, forcing them to recall the tragic war more than 20 years ago!
The Ministry of National Defense issued an ultimatum to the three western states, but still issued an order to suppress the riots to the Western Military Region before the time came, and there were further notifications.
Memnon's car turned around halfway, and now he had no time to see Dulin's injury. At the same time, he also felt that the west was gradually losing control of him. Things that made him even more unimaginable were far from over.
At 3:15 in the afternoon, a steam locomotive departed from the east coast of the empire and ended at the New Pacific Port of Jordan on the west coast of the empire entered the west. The first time this steam locomotive entered the west, it was stared at by a group of people.
In fact, in the past, it was definitely not a big deal if a steam locomotive was robbed in the West. It was a miracle that it could cross the West safely. There are too many horse bandits and bandits who rely on railways in this vast land, and they have long had their own mature plan for robbing steam locomotives. It was not until the arrival of the new era that the situation improved. In order to ensure that their goods would not be robbed along the way, capitalists towed weapons-carrying platforms on steam locomotives. This was completely unimaginable in the old society.
But today, what happened in the past will happen again.
These horse bandits have completely different hair color, eye color and facial features from the citizens of the empire. They are all slaves from all over the world. Under Dulin's arrangement, they gained their freedom, and actively wanted to contribute their insignificant strength to those compatriots who were still being persecuted. It is very unreasonable to directly attack a mining area. From the beginning of the construction of mining area camps, the possibility of external attacks will be taken into consideration. Each camp is as difficult to invade as a military restricted area, unless the sacrifice is several times or even ten times that of Only with the number of people in the mine protection team can it be possible to invade the mining area.
So these guys who fought for freedom and got a code name called "Freedom Front" will rescue more than 3,000 slaves transported from the East Coast on the train, even if they may die in this attack. .
There are rivers in the west, but they are not densely distributed. There are sparse rivers here and there. People often form settlements along the rivers, which eventually evolve into cities. Steam locomotives often carry supplies outside the city. Sometimes there are supply stations in places with water sources in the Gobi. The location of this attack is just east of the central part of the west, on the edge of an unnamed wild lake. This is a Supply depot.
When the messenger rushed into the supply station on a fast horse, everyone began to prepare. As the rising smoke column in the distance got closer and closer, the battle was about to begin.
The speed of the steam locomotive began to slow down. When the conductor pulled the brakes to the lowest level, the train slowly stopped with the sound of metal friction. He adjusted his clothes and put on his hat before jumping out of the train. He prefers the down-to-earth feeling compared to the small space in the train.
He glanced at the two workers wearing cowhide overalls next to the supply station, and asked with some surprise: "Where is Mike? I don't think I have seen you?"
One of them replied lazily: "Who knows where he went? Is something wrong, decent man?"
The train conductor couldn't help but shake his head. Decent people are what these workers in the West call people from other places. It sounds like they are praising them, but in fact they are mocking them.
"I need Eshijia No. 2 Catalyst, twenty-five gallons." Then he took out a wad of bills and counted them.
In the reaction between the catalyst and the obsidian, the catalyst is consumed first, or in other words, the violent reaction is neutralized, which makes the reaction tepid. For civilians, although this kind of response is a bit lacking, it is not a big problem, but for big things like steam locomotives, it is obviously not enough. A steam locomotive only needs two things each time it stops at a supply depot, catalyst and water.
The two workers were nervous, but they quickly calmed down. They lazily stood up and walked into the small house of the supply station. The person who had spoken before asked: "Should we help you change it, or should you change it yourself?" ?”
"Of course you will change it for me, do I have to do it myself?" The train conductor frowned. These people were far less clean and tidy than Mike. When he lowered his head and looked at the banknotes in his hand again, he couldn't help but complain. He shouted, "Damn, how many did I count?"
The entire replenishment process will last about fifteen minutes. When replacing weakly reacting catalysts, these catalysts need to be emptied first before new catalysts can be introduced. This also includes a simple cleaning of the kinetic energy bin—it is actually not complicated. Insert a special cleaning nozzle into the kinetic energy bin, and spray the inside of the bin wall with clean water once.
During this process, there will be a short break on the train, and some people who are tired of sitting will also come down and walk around. If they are tourists, they may buy some specialties sold here, or buy some food and water.
The staff at the supply station who were selling goods were selling things absentmindedly. Their eyes always stayed on each car. When they found that there was no movement at the end of the entire train starting from the ninth car, they already knew Where the slaves sent were kept.
A young man ran to the ninth carriage with a box of goods for sale and knocked on the door, "Do the gentlemen and ladies inside need to buy something? We have cigarettes and bread, as well as fresh bacon and drinks...", As he spoke, he banged the car door a few more times. The car door opened with a bang from the inside, and a vicious-looking man rubbed his eyes and poked his head out.
"Damn, get out of here...", he was a little impatient, maybe because he was woken up, so he was a little angry.
The next second, a bullet was shot into his lower jaw. His entire face began to deform, and the eyeball on the left side spurted out. The bullet finally shattered the back of his head and sprayed plasma all over the roof of the car.
There was a brief silence followed by violent screams. When the conductor turned around, a gun was pressed against his waist, "If I were you, I wouldn't do anything!"
