Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 667 Chapter 667 Three Purposes
On the outskirts of the small village that had been very dilapidated due to the war, at the intersection of the uneven dirt road, a tank rolled its tracks slowly, and finally stopped at the intersection.

The soldiers sitting on the No. 4 tank began to jump off after the tank stopped. They were carrying Thomson submachine guns, and their leather boots hit the ground with a muffled sound.

Then, parked on the truck behind the tank, one after another soldiers also turned out of the truck and began to organize their weapons.

"You all know the mission, don't you?" the leading officer looked at his subordinates who were united and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Yes!" All the soldiers answered in unison.

"Then act! The target must be killed!" The officer glanced at his watch, raised his head and waved his palm forward.

All the soldiers started to gallop forward, and their neat steps made a very pleasant sound.On the road in the small village, the early-rising farmers had just left the house with their hoes on their shoulders when they were startled by the soldiers who suddenly appeared at the door.

"I'm a good man!" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to the Tang Army soldier wearing an M35 helmet who passed him by.

"It's all right! Sir! We are here to arrest Zhang Jia, the criminal who oppressed the farmers." The leading officer with the pistol on his waist stopped and said with a smile on his face.

"His home is over there!" As soon as he heard that he was here to arrest that bastard landlord, the farmer turned sideways and pointed the way.

The leading officer smiled, tilted his head slightly, and supported the brim of his hat with his hand: "It seems that we have arrested the wrong person."

"You should have come here sooner! This bastard has done too many bad things." The farmer said excitedly, "I won't let him back, will I?"

"No...he's dead." The officer patted the M1911 pistol lightly with his hand on the holster around his waist. He was still smiling when he spoke, and he didn't look like he was going to kill someone at all.

"Really?" The farmer was not afraid, but excited.He looked towards the direction the troops were heading, and put down the hoe on his shoulder: "How about I take you to find him?"

"No need, there may be a gun battle over there in a while, it is estimated to be very dangerous, this is a military operation." The officer waved his hand and rejected the farmer's kindness: "Starting tomorrow, the herdsman will take over here, and then everything If we have to follow the law, it will not be convenient for us to start.”

He paused, and then continued to explain: "So we hurried over today and got things done first."

While speaking, the army had already blocked the gate of the landlord's courtyard, and several people knocked on the door. The moment the servant of the other party opened the door, a dozen soldiers rushed in and rushed into the large area. small estate.

"You should have come earlier, you should have come earlier. If you had come a few years earlier, many people in the village, including my father, would not have died." The farmer looked at the soldiers rushing into the yard with red eyes, and said yes Said the officer next to him.

"Who are you?" Someone in the yard asked loudly, and the answer was a crisp gunshot.Then the whole village came out to watch the commotion, pointing at the landlord's yard where gunshots continued.

But obviously, none of the villagers panicked, nor did they run away.Because the gunfight broke out in the landlord's home, they even gloated a little.

"Help! I surrender! I surrender!" Soon, someone yelled loudly again, and the howling and crying of the female relatives came one after another.

At this time, an off-road vehicle bumped over at a fast speed, passed the tank parked at the entrance of the village, drove along the road to the place where the officer was standing, and then stopped with a sudden brake.

The car door was pushed open, and a young man jumped out of it. He was not wearing a military uniform, but a set of clothes similar to a Chinese tunic suit, except that the top was longer and the hem could cover his thighs.

When he jumped out of the car because he was too hasty, he even sprained his head. He limped in pain and walked up to the officer, sternly yelling, "Is your military crazy?"

"Our military? Are you crazy?" The officer looked at the limping man in front of him, pretending to be a little puzzled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

"I'm the civil affairs officer here! You can't kill any civilians illegally here!" The young man pointed to his chest and shouted loudly.

The officer casually took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.Then he shook off the lighter with a ding, held the flame of the lighter with his hand, moved it to his mouth, lit a cigarette and spewed out a puff of white mist.

With a click, the lid of the lighter was buckled, and the officer took two puffs of the cigarette before he said, "You will officially take over here tomorrow, and now it is still in a state of war, and it still belongs to the garrison, that is, us." Group management! Understand?"

"You're making too much sense! Do you know what you're doing? I want you to explain to me. You're doing it now! What! What!" the young man asked sharply, pointing in the direction where the gunshots were coming from. Word by word for emphasis.

"This is a military operation...Military operations must be kept secret, and civilian departments have no right to inquire." The officer raised his shield.

"You! As the appointed head of the local civil affairs department, I now ask you to explain the violation of discipline and massacre of civilians!" The young man continued to refuse to let go while moving his ankle.

"Well, since you asked, we suspect that there are rebels in this village, who are plotting to attack the incoming civil affairs chief here." The officer flicked the ash and looked at the young man and explained.

"Me? You said Zhang Jia's family conspired to assassinate me?" The young man looked disbelieving, but he was helpless.

He has the right to ask the army commander to produce evidence, but this process is more troublesome.One year after the army arranges witnesses and forges evidence, his application process may not be completed yet.

Don't look at Datang Group's swift and resolute actions in almost everything, but in some processes, it is really no different from a group of office sloths.

It's not intentional delay, but there are too few people in the office, the department is not that important, and it is not taken seriously. In short... no one, no conditions, no time...

This is really a helpless move, because people are being employed everywhere, there are vacancies everywhere, and development and expansion are everywhere. It is normal for some departments to not keep up with the pace.

"Yes, we received a report that they hid guns and kept killers." The officer said seriously.

"I... this is the country of Qi! You can find some guns for self-defense in any landlord or wealthy noble's home! They have family guards, which are what you call killers!" The young man said to this This kind of thing is really too familiar.

This is planting!This is a disregard for human life.

"For the army, as long as it is a threat...even a potential threat, it must be cleaned up." The officer's eyes became sharper, and he said seriously: "We don't take risks, and we don't gamble with any of our own lives. 'The other side is safe' kind of thinking."

"For us, they have guns and are not willing to cooperate with us. That's the reason that must be eliminated." He put the cigarette in his mouth, took another deep breath, and the cigarette quickly turned into ashes. The tobacco leaves also turned red.

"But this is still a disregard for human life. Tomorrow... here will be out of wartime control and become a safe zone." The young man looked at the officer: "You are doing this, which is a typical example of the military interfering in local affairs."

"I don't dare, don't give me a label." The officer quickly denied: "And this is for your own good, don't be ungrateful."

"You killed the people under my rule the day before I took office, and you said it was for me..." Halfway through the sentence, the young civil affairs officer couldn't continue.

He raised his head and stared at the officer, without speaking for a long time.

The gunshots in the distance gradually subsided, and the entire family of Zhang Jia, who had been rampant here for decades, was completely killed, and none of them escaped.

The army decides to confiscate all the gold coins owned by the landlord's family, but due to time constraints, they can only be left to the local civil affairs officials to take over.And the rest, including furniture, clothing, utensils and food, are divided equally among all the civilians in this village today.

The land occupied by the landlords is distributed by the civil affairs officials to the civilians who lack the means of production. Frankly speaking, this is equivalent to another redistribution of wealth.

But the purpose of the military is not so simple. If it is just to kill these old nobles and old forces of Qi and divide up their property, the military may not bother to do so.

In fact, this kind of thing is being carried out on a large scale in the territory of Qi State. Almost all the soldiers stationed in the military are doing this. They opened their barracks and once again appeared in the villages in the occupied area of ​​​​Qi State. The old nobles, old landlords, old local tyrants and evil gentry of Qi State bloodily eradicated...

"Understood?" The officer threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

The young civil affairs officer sighed: "You killed people just to get me a start-up capital?"

"Ha! What a beautiful idea you have!" The officer sneered, "That's just the least important purpose!"

He became serious, and stared at the young man in front of him: "There is only one life, and it is enough for us to die. You still have a good life... Remember what I said? Even if it is a potential threat, it must be eliminated! We will not I hope that there will be another Sun Ze, you, and all civil affairs officials will live well, this is the second purpose, understand?"

After finishing speaking, he stood at attention and saluted: "Of course, killing these uncooperative people so that His Majesty's government orders can be executed more accurately, more faithfully, and faster... is the highest goal."

Looking at the courtyard of the landlord's house not far away, the young civil affairs officer twisted his ankle again, and the pain came again: "Is there any smoke?"
