Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"I haven't heard of it, nor have I seen it." The old man shook his head and said.

"Ah, that's okay." Mao Qi nodded and said to himself.

"Old man, don't let this go. Don't be too discouraged. The drought won't last long. The central government is already thinking of a way, and the comrades in the revolutionary army are also working on diverting the river." Mao Qi finally comforted.

"Here, take it." The old man picked up his small bag from the back of his donkey, and said, taking out a piece of black bread from it.

"You work harder than me, take it, the grain merchants over there in the province are playing tricks and won't sell you grain to eat."

After saying that, the old man jumped onto the donkey, waved his whip, and walked in the opposite direction, not giving Moltke a chance to budge.He knew that if he slowed down, these amiable and lovely young people would definitely not accept this sincere help, but would give him food instead.

"Old man! Old man! Can you leave your name!" Mo Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.

"At the beginning, Sun Boyang tried to save us, gave us a field, and made us stand upright. Did he ask our names, and did he do it with the idea of ​​asking us to return it?" The old farmer stopped in the distance and asked Mao. Qi shouted.

"Sun Boyang doesn't intend to reciprocate, so how can I leave my name?"

......

Moltke held the extremely rough piece of black bread, looked at the other comrades with an indescribable expression, and did not speak for a long time.The weight of this piece of brown bread is too heavy, and its value far exceeds the best white bread on the market, the best dessert.In Moltke's heart, even if he was given a hundred gold coins, he would never exchange this piece of bread.

"If you treat the peasants as relatives, they will treat you as relatives." Comrade Mao Qi said affectionately to other comrades who went together.

"This piece of bread should be saved for the last time, and we must always remember that we work with everyone's hopes on our shoulders."

In Kecha Town, thirty miles away, with the withdrawal of the revolutionary army, the city once again fell into silence and 'cold'.Pedestrians passing by looked at the building that was burned into ruins, and then immediately looked away. No one wanted to be beaten as a peasant bandit again. Although the Fafnir Legion and the Central South Government are temporarily on the same front, the landlords underneath Lao Cai, but under the deliberate indulgence of the legion, he doesn't care about these things.

Baovka followed Feovich and Simon and hid in the shadows on the side of the street, looking at the grain store opposite.After the withdrawal of the revolutionary army, Rupert's son returned to Kocha Town as his old rich man, controlling most of the food supply in the entire area.Feovich waited with a serious face. He had just received news a few days ago that a group of comrades from the liberated areas would come to Kocha Town to do food shopping. He had to take on the important task of protecting the safety of these people.

224 Covert Battle

"Are the big troops still coming?" Bovka asked Feovich from behind.

"I don't know, you kid, don't make trouble. Hurry up and go back to work honestly!" Feovich smiled and rubbed Bovka's hair and said to him.

"I don't! I want to see if my brother will come back." Baofuka still lay on the side and said intently.

"Your brother probably went to work in the army. According to the principle, he can't come back to organize work and bring danger to you. Did you forget? Those imperial devils came back in those two days and went to your house to search for people with the help of the dog legs. If it weren't for everyone Cover you and your mother, you two have been taken away long ago, maybe something bad will happen." Simon said to Bowka with a smile.

"The revolutionary army shouldn't have left. They've all been defeated, so why leave? Let these imperial devils continue to exploit us." Baovka said while talking about the new words he had learned from Simon.

"The Fafnir Legion will kill themselves if they do many injustices. I thought they would not dare to make a big fanfare and immediately sing the opposite tune. I didn't expect that they would set fire to the offices of other comrades and assassinate other comrades a few days later." Feovich gritted his teeth and said angrily.

Ten days after the large troops withdrew and returned control to the Fafnir Legion, the Fafnir Legion immediately dispatched the so-called 'returning team' without knowing it to take charge of the situation in the city again.In the first few days, according to the agreement, the revolutionary army left some comrades to organize the establishment of peasant associations and trade unions to prepare for non-violent resistance and continue to help the people of Kecha Town.Unexpectedly, those "returning teams" who committed all kinds of crimes blocked the entrance and exit of the office with dog legs, and then burned a dozen comrades to death inside.

The next day, it was only people from the government pretending to search and rescue, but it had already foreshadowed that Kecha Town had once again fallen into the hands of the enemy.The folks who lost the support of these comrades no longer had a patron saint, and could only be killed by the "home return team" in the name of colluding with peasant bandits.Now in the entire town of Kocha, only Feovich and Simon are still working here.

In their original residency plan, they did not work in unison with those comrades. The enemy is cunning and cruel, and they must find a way to raise their vigilance. Then he took up the work behind the scenes.Only when there is no one will communicate with each other to help each other work.If it weren't for this double insurance measure, I'm afraid Kecha Town's power would have been wiped out long ago.

If so, most of the other fighters who acted as dark threads were led and arrested by goons.Only Feovich and Simon, who had been working on the periphery, were able to escape and survived.

......

"When I was in charge of the land distribution work in the whole west, central and south, I often heard the name of Kecha Town. It is said that this is a place that military strategists must contend for, with rich grain production, convenient transportation, and an important industrial town. For this reason, At the time of the retreat, many comrades were specially left behind to support and preserve the work." Comrade Mao Qi stepped into the main street of Kocha Town and said to the other comrades beside him.

"That's right, Kocha Town is rich in products. If it wasn't for the strong request of the Fafnir Legion, this place would have been liberated anyway." A comrade wearing glasses nodded in agreement.

"There is just one problem. According to the old farmer, the comrades here have been assassinated long ago, and the communication between the city and the surrounding areas has long been cut off. But why, the comrades in the vicinity did not report to Comrade Sun Raul, or Where should I report?" Comrade Mao Qi asked again with a puzzled expression.

"Comrade Moltke, what do you mean..." asked another young comrade of a similar age.

"It's just a guess, and we have to look at the further situation. I also wrote to the comrade in charge of this area on the way here, but I don't know why, and he hasn't been able to reply to me." Moltke continued to walk to the corner of the town. Said before the checkpoint.

"Oh, I don't know if the person here is the special mission of the Zhongnan government to borrow food?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from ahead, and Mo Qi and the others immediately looked up.It was a very wealthy and gentle middle-aged man, neither thin nor fat, and of medium height.Judging from the clothes on his body, I am afraid that he is either rich or expensive.

"Yes, we came to Kecha Town from Zhongnan to buy grain. I don't know who you are?" asked the comrade wearing glasses.

"I am the newly elected mayor of Kocha Town, Valit." The middle-aged man said politely and respectfully to Mao Qi and the others.

"Ah, it's Comrade Mayor. I wonder if we can raise some food from Kecha Town for the Zhongnan government to allocate for disaster relief?" Mo Qi asked as he took out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Unfortunately, there is not much food in my town, and the drought is bothering us. Our town government can't do anything to support the Zhongnan government. If you really need it, then try to buy some." The mayor Valit walked side by side politely and said.

Several police guards in the town surrounded Mao Qi and his party viciously. They all carried guns on their backs and had big arms and round waists, with the appearance of thugs.The other comrades immediately put their hands on the guns nervously, watching these big men warily.They have already known what happened to the comrades in this town who died, so they must be more vigilant and never repeat the same mistakes.

"These are the guards of our town, they are specially escorting you." The mayor said with a smile on his face.

"You're bothering me, I think it's better to let them rest. After all, we also have guards." Mo Qi glanced around, and said calmly and calmly.

"It's too polite of you, alas, take me as a bag." The mayor continued to smile and ordered to a big man.

"This is a little sponsorship from you who came from afar, and it is also a show of our support for the Zhongnan government." The mayor said flatteringly as he handed the heavy bag to Moltke.

"Hmph, imperial ghost..." The soldiers on the side angrily wanted to scold the mayor, but Comrade Mao Qi stopped him and stopped him from speaking.

"Then you are welcome, we will hand it over to the government for disaster relief instead of you." Mo Qi smiled and gave the bag to the comrade wearing glasses beside him, putting on an upright look.Several other educated comrades saw the hint in Mao Qi's eyes and immediately understood it. They all smiled cheerfully and made an appearance of agreement, and accepted the 'disaster relief fund'.

"Hey, why don't you come to my house to have a meal tonight? I believe I will make you very satisfied." The mayor continued to say overjoyed.

"Let's talk about it, it's more important for us to prepare to buy food." Mo Qi politely refused.

"Oh, how can I say it again..."

"This imperial devil sent people to surround Comrade Special Pai, and he couldn't get close at all." Feovich said helplessly, looking at Mao Qi and his party from the shadows.

"How about I go?" Simon said sideways.

"No, if we let the special mission comrades know all the truth now, then they will be in danger. We can't come forward, at least we can't let the emperor see us come forward." Feovich continued to look at it.

"Tonight, Simon, the two of us will stay at the place where the comrades are staying, and we will go in to find them whenever we have the opportunity. Remember, we must protect the safety of the comrades who are dispatched." Feovich said to Simon seriously.

"Can't I go?" Baovka asked Feovich excitedly, grabbing the corner of Feovich's clothes.

"Baovka, your house is very dangerous now. If you go, it is very likely that your mother will be hurt." Feovich said back.

"We can't sacrifice the family members of our comrades, Bovka, you are still young, you are still in school. Don't do impulsive things, and you will liberate this place later, that's when you will be able to use your skills." Feiowei Qi continued to comfort.

"But Simon is two years older than me!" Baovka said aggrievedly.

During this period of time, he learned a lot of things during the days with the two comrades.Whether it was what Zhongnan had seen or heard, or the description of the army that Simon told him, he was fascinated.He didn't want to stay in this town any longer, to join the revolution like his brother.He dreams of becoming a brave cavalryman to liberate the entire south-central region.

"Look at the movements of the comrades in a while, and if possible, take a closer look." Feovich said to Simon.

"They're probably going to the grain store."

......

"Comrade, are you still open?"

A soldier walked up first, and asked the old man with an abacus in front of the grain store with a gun on his back.

"There's no food, there's no food. It was closed a few days ago." Seeing the mayor's expression, and seeing the attire of Mao Qi and his party, the old man immediately shook his head and was about to enter the house and never come out again.

"There is no food in the grain store, what's the matter?" the soldier asked with a depressed face.

"The villagers have already robbed all of the drought, and there is no more food." The old man continued to wave his hand as if he had no food, and wanted to send Mao Qi and the others away, but he didn't expect a child working as a handyman for the grain store He accidentally fell a big somersault and spilled all the grain on his back basket.Seeing this scene, the accountant of the grain shop was angry and hated, and immediately picked up the wooden stick beside him and tried to hit the child.

"Oh! Stop! The child can get up again after falling, just put the food back! Why are you beating someone?!" The soldier grabbed the old man's hand angrily and said firmly.

"Isn't this food for sale?" Mo Qi watched the soldier squat down to pick up the rice for the child and put it back into the basket, then turned his head and asked the old man.

"This is what we ate for ourselves. There is really no food left." The old man hesitated and said with embarrassment.

"Comrade Rankoli, let's go. We're going to the hotel to settle down first." Moltke led the other comrades down the steps and said to the soldier.

"Oh, let's go." Rancoli took out a piece of toffee from his pocket and gave it to the child, then smiled and patted the child's head and walked down together.The child held the piece of toffee tightly and looked at the back of Rankoli, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.

"Oh, Mr. Special! Please come to my house for dinner tonight. You don't know, dear Mr. Stander, but you will come too." The mayor said with a charming smile.

"Comrade Stander." Comrade Mao Qi nodded and said.

He didn't expect that Comrade Stander, who was in charge of the security of this border area, would actually fall into depravity.

225 The Heart of the People

"Where's Dad?"

Lida wrote in Felicia's hand in a simple white dress.

Because of the severe drought, the school gave the students a holiday and asked everyone to go back and help the family with some work.All the students, including Lida, went home for the holidays to do 'hands-on' homework.In fact, the school does not require such a requirement, and it is estimated that each family will also require this from their children.During the severe drought, the men went to find water to dig wells, and the women cooked and plowed the fields. The children could only come back to share part of the burden with the family.

The severe drought in the Central South government has always been in a state of being tolerable and sustainable.There is no famine or refugee disaster here like other areas, but everyone is working hard to overcome the drought with great enthusiasm.The government has allocated almost all of the funds to support the purchase of food and the construction of waterways, focusing the current task on dealing with the drought.

The comrades in the government carefully calculated every penny for the comrades in the chamber of commerce to find ways to get food, and the army was called to go to major regions to organize the construction of rivers first, trying to restore at least some of the agriculture in various places.The adventurers also worked hard to explore in the Southern Cross Forest. They remarked one piece after another on the map. The terrain there is relatively flat and suitable for planting, and there are rivers suitable for diverting water into the original.

Even the comrades of the workers have exerted great enthusiasm to work hard. The comrades of the workers in the city rushed to the factory as soon as it was dawn, went to organize work online, and started producing industrial products as soon as possible.They never leave work until it is completely dark every night. Even when they go home, they have to calculate how much work they have done today and how many industrial products they have produced.

Every day, skilled workers are studying how to make the products produced better, and how to make the machines more convenient so that workers can rest more.In the eyes of the workers, these industrial products are pieces of black bread and yellow nests.Every time they produce such an industrial product, they may help how many peasant brothers get rid of the embarrassment of food shortage!

This behavior of mobilizing the financial and material resources of the whole region for disaster relief has attracted unanimous ridicule from Count Simac in the southeastern province or the south-central region, or other forces.In their eyes, this behavior of the Zhongnan government is like cutting off its own arm, it is killing itself.Think about it, the world is in chaos now, and warlords from all over the world are rising together.Everyone is desperately expanding the army to prepare for war, and you are the only one who is investing all the money in disaster relief. Isn't this stupid?

Just those ordinary people, those farmers and workers, have always been expendable objects in the eyes of these forces.They are not worth mentioning, and it is too expensive for the government to invest a copper coin for them.As long as you can get along and the peasant uprising can't break out, then that's all you need to do. Why bother to do good for them?After you are beaten away, can these people follow you honestly or continue to convince you?

Therefore, all places are inadvertently responding to disasters, looking like they are letting themselves go.In the south-central region, Earl Simac's troops are undergoing a frenzied expansion, and he has devoted all his resources to it.In the southeast, the warlords still listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, and everyone still broke out wars and merged with each other from time to time.Today it wasn't you who beat me to the ground, tomorrow it was the military master who beat the boss to death.The sphere of influence changes frequently, and it is even less likely that they will be willing to do so-called disaster relief work.

The troubled times have already begun. The so-called orthodoxy, status, and family background have all become extremely ridiculous at this time. Only by holding on to force can one be truly strong.

"Mr. Sun Boyang is doing work." Felicia said while touching Lida's head.

Felicia likes this well-behaved and sensible child very much, he is very polite to everyone, like a little adult.For this reason, Felicia wondered why everyone still wanted Sun Boyang to start a family and continue living. Isn't it enough to have such a daughter?She didn't know until later that Lida was an adopted daughter, not Sun Boyang's own.Sun Boyang has never started a family since he was an adult, and has been living alone like this.This also made Felicia feel very sorry, and she joined the army of recommending lesbians for Sun Boyang.

"Then can I interrupt?" Lida wrote again in Felicia's hand.

"Are you sure? We've probably finished talking? Mr. Sun Boyang has been busy with disaster relief recently, and he went to the countryside this morning to see the situation of the river diversion. You don't know, your father made himself dirty, I complained to him Instead, he smiled and said it was an excellent honor." Felicia said helplessly.

Lida nodded copingly, then carefully opened the door and closed it decisively again, because she heard Sun Boyang still talking seriously with the people in the house.

"Daddy is always busy..." Lida thought.

"It would be great if I could be a guard and stay with my father after graduation."

......

"Ferex, have you resolved the problem of resettlement of the fleeing compatriots?" Sun Boyang and Ferex sat opposite each other and asked.

"You mean the refugees who escaped from the other three sides? Ah, I have been doing it recently, and I have been dealing with these problems." Ferex smiled and rubbed his hands and said to Sun Boyang.

"Come, Ferex, sit next to me. You don't think I'm dirty, do you? I just came back from the country this morning, where I had lunch with the country comrades and discussed the river course I just came back from the route, so I started working again before I had time to change my clothes." Sun Boyang smiled and said to Ferex with one leg crossed.

"It's better to avoid it. I've been coughing a bit lately. I'm afraid I'll infect you...cough cough, um! cough cough cough..."

Ferrex coughed violently before he finished speaking. His body has always been normal, and he suffered from the wind and cold on the way to Zhongnan.Due to the high-intensity work in recent days, even people like Sun Boyang feel dizzy from time to time, not to mention Ferex's unhealthy body.

"Pay attention to your health, have you followed my advice to go to the hospital?" Sun Boyang immediately got up and sat down with Ferrex beside him, and asked kindly while holding his hand.

"I've been there. It's just a small cough. It's not a problem. I've been taking medicine and I haven't stopped it, but it's still the same. It makes such a sound from time to time like a broken bellows." Ferex said to Sun Boyang with a smile .

"You have to be extra careful. At this critical moment, I don't want a comrade like you to fall ill." Sun Boyang said again.

"So how do you resettle the refugees? Tell me?" Sun Boyang asked again, getting back to the point.

"In those days, I have been chasing down the corrupt elements and some slave traders outside the customs. Recently, I have also focused on the refugees. My dear Kasyev, you don't even know that these days there are a total of three directions. How many refugees have come to our Central South government." Ferex stretched out a finger to gesture and smiled wryly.

"How much?" Sun Boyang straightened up and asked.

"Our compatriots under the Central South government roughly estimate that there are 200 million. This time, refugees have poured in from three sources, nearly 30 people, which is close to two tenths." Ferex said.

"Why are there so many? Could it be that the disaster on their side is more serious than ours?" Sun Boyang asked suspiciously.

"No, no, Comrade Sun Boyang. I want to say that you may think it is normal, but for others, it is not like our Leszek, like our government, to do our best to save farmers. Yes. They regard peasants and workers as consumables, as tools that can be replaced. How can people spend money on tools? Do you think it is Kasyev? They spent all their money on the army. When it comes to enjoyment, for them, as long as there is no civil uprising, they can do what they like." Ferex shook his head and said.

"Yes, that's the case." Sun Boyang said angrily after hearing this.

"The bourgeoisie, the nobles, and the warlords have always been like this, and it is difficult to hide their true colors. Do you know Ferex, just a few days ago, I even received a request from Mr. Ticheren, and he even wanted us to allocate food Give them some of it." Sun Boyang shook his head and said helplessly.

"Let me be honest, Comrade Sun Boyang. Should we continue the original military expansion plan to cope with their military expansion?" Ferex asked after thinking for a while.

"No, it's not right now. Ferrex, before we say this, we have to consider, what are we? We are the vanguard of the fellow workers and peasants, the fighters who stand up for them, and the class that represents them Comrade, the formation of the second army is basically completed, and the other places are not yet ready for a big war. Our comrades in the revolutionary army are not only strong enough to defend, but can even attack at any time. Therefore, we should also take this opportunity to deal with natural disasters with all our strength and go to cross the border first. Overcome this difficulty." Sun Boyang said firmly.

"We are brothers and comrades of workers and peasants. If the elder brother of a family takes all the money of the younger brother in order to overthrow the family next door, and goes to war regardless of the danger of his younger brother starving to death, then he is not a qualified elder brother. Ferrex, this is the meaning of the vanguard. It is not a problem to expand our army, or to imitate them and put them all into the army. There are priorities, and the examples I gave are different under different circumstances. Definitely right. But right now, we still need to focus on disaster relief, and put disaster relief on the top of the list of tasks." Sun Boyang stretched out his hand and gestured.

"I understand Comrade Sun Boyang. The main reason is that I am still a little worried. I am afraid that they will catch up with us..."

"Haha, Ferex, you are overthinking." Sun Boyang waved his hands heartily and smiled.

"How much of the money they invest in the army can be spent on real training and weaponry? As I said, their essence is the ruling class, which is old and stale. For this reason, they naturally prefer Maintain your own status and let yourself live well. If you think that their combat effectiveness will be improved, you will probably be surprised." Sun Boyang said with a smile as he clasped his hands again.

"What's more, Ferex, there is an old saying in Yongdalim that the people who win the hearts of the people win the world. I just received news from the arsenal that the skilled workers there have been working overtime to research the new front-loading technology. gone."

226 No mercy
