At this point in the conversation, the mutual testing between the general and Gavin has come to an end.
At this moment, Gavin was sitting on the sofa. Although his tone was stern, his eyes looking at the general were a little gentler.
Because he has seen it clearly.
He and the general were in a situation where they were in a desperate situation.
Gavin has always been worried that the general and his Home have malicious intentions towards his group of people. After all, although his number 180 does not bring a particularly large amount of supplies, the population itself is supplies.
Especially since this is the territory of the general, and there are more generals. Although Gavin is confident that his technology will handle certain traps correctly once they break out, he never likes to bear losses, especially unexpected losses.
Therefore, what Gavin has been paying attention to is the general's attitude towards his group of people. He wants to find out whether the general has any ill intentions towards himself and others.
If so, is that malice focused on supplies, Alliance's possible assistance to Home, or is it pure greed or pure madness.
And the general----
The general doesn't have the thoughts that Gavin is worried about!
Even the general is far more afraid than Gavin!
Gavin is worried that the general has prepared a trap for him, waiting for him to lead his men to step into it.
But the general is even more afraid of Gavin's direct and ruthless merger invitation to Home!
On the one hand, Gavin leads an armed group of more than a hundred people!
That's hundreds of fucking guns and dozens of Heavy Machine Gun!
You know, when war entered the gunpowder age, the difference in numbers between the two sides became far less important than in the cold weapon age.
Especially after machine guns are put into the battlefield.
In 1894, during Africa's first Matabele War, United Kingdom repelled an attack of more than 5,000 Zulu with only fifty men and four machine guns!
That's just four machine guns!
There is no doubt about the destructive power of machine guns.
Of course, the Home is not lacking in important weapons such as machine guns. Within the Home, more than ten light Heavy Machine Guns are erected at high points to defend the Home.
But the general is still worried that once Gavin wants to lead his people to launch an armed action in Home.
That would bring an unbearable devastating blow to Home.
No matter Home wins or loses, the losses will be too great to bear. How could the general not be afraid!
In particular, the survivors of Home, led by the general himself, widely relied on the Alliance's propaganda broadcasts to relieve stress and relieve their emotions, so much so that Gavin almost became Home's potential spiritual leader and absolute idol!
In this case, the general is really worried that Gavin will take away everything from him, because if he were Gavin, he knows very well what he can do with that kind of worship!
In short, in the previous conversation between the two, Gavin has been focusing on the possible crisis itself, while the general has always emphasized Home's independence and tested Gavin's views on Home, especially to determine whether Gavin has the idea of annexing Home.
Anyway, this moment.
When the two people sat in their respective chairs and looked at each other, there was a little more understanding in their eyes.
Well, when the real end comes.
In other words, when the doomsday has come ruthlessly, the people who survive the doomsday and start to rebuild Home.
They are just like Gavin and the generals in front of them. They are not like the lunatics in movies and TV shows, whose minds are filled with barbarism and violence, as well as plunder and killing.
On the contrary, they want to survive because they have already passed the most difficult stage. Why would they not want to live longer?
How long?
Therefore, this is really a dilemma.
I am afraid that you will attack me, and you are afraid that I will annex you. In the final analysis, what I am afraid of is contradictions and the war and death they are destined to bring.
If someone says he is not afraid of war and death, that cannot be called brave.
Because the reason why heroes are brave is never because they are fearless, but because heroes always have reasons why they cannot lose.
As for now----
It's better to let the war go aside, they have easier topics to talk about!
So, after a brief look at each other, the general nodded clearly and said softly.
"I understand, Your Excellency Gavin, please wait a moment, I will take you to see Eugenie."
"Forget it, I'll let Eugenie come over to see you. She is now in good health, very healthy, and in a good mood. There are still nearly seven weeks until the due date. Proper exercise is also good for her."
Having said this, the general picked up the intercom on his desk, turned on the call button and said.
"Hey, Wesker, send someone to bring Eugenie to my office. Alliance's distinguished guests and Gavin himself are waiting to see him!"
"Well, received. I am taking Alliance and Internal Affairs Lead to set up their cars and exchange reasonable sentry configurations, so I will send one of my subordinates to find Eugenie."
Just listen to Wesker's response on the intercom.
"By the way, General, regarding the configuration of sentry posts, Mr. Internal Affairs Lead William of the Alliance hopes that they can participate in the sentry work in real time. The reason is that they are necessary to ensure the safety of Gavin himself at all times."
"General, should I involve them in this?"
"You know, that means our defense strength has been penetrated by the opponent. If they have any bad intentions, we may not be able to respond in time----"
"Ahem!!!"
Just when Wesker said this, General Elijah pressed the call button with an embarrassed look on his face, abruptly interrupting Wesker's words.
I saw him swallowing in embarrassment, then turned around and smiled reluctantly at Gavin and his men behind him, and said with a grimace:
"Cough cough cough cough! Wesker! Just satisfy Mr. William's ideas! After all, as the bodyguard of Mr. Gavin, his actions are necessary, and we should understand and accept them!"
"Besides, Wesker, do you want to say hello to Mr. Gavin? He was angry in front of me because of your worries.
Laugh!"
"I promise, his smile is as bright as it looked on pre-apocalyptic TV. It's the same smile as seeing a hamster worried about us humans snatching the nuts it's storing in its crop!"
"Hahahahaha!"
When the general said this, arrogant laughter suddenly came from behind Gavin. Eugene couldn't bear it any longer.
Everyone else also laughed softly, after all, the general's metaphor was really charming.
As for Gavin, he also understands the Elijah in front of him. This general likes to use various metaphors and metaphors to communicate with others. In other words, this general is born half a riddle, and what he says requires extra understanding from you.
He compares himself and his Home to the nuts hidden by a hamster, and compares himself to a human being?
This is both a sign of weakness and a moral kidnapping of Gavin.
Because the general seemed to be saying.
You see, compared with you and your Alliance, me and my Home are as ridiculous as a little hamster's food store.
So, there is no need for you to keep an eye on us, right?
After the general finished speaking, the intercom channel was silent for a full dozen seconds.
Then, accompanied by the laughter of the guys, the intercom channel finally rang again, and only Wesker could be heard responding to the general.
"0K, say hello to Mr. Gavin for me. When I arrange everything later, I will go to see him. At the same time, I will go to see my idol and an old friend who I rarely see before the end!"
After the words fell, Wesker hung up the intercom, nodded to William with a sullen face, and said.
"You heard it, Mr. William, my boss agreed. You can set up the sentries you need, but it's better not to have too many people, because Home is not a dangerous place."
"I hope you can get training in Home instead of spending more energy on my territory to defend against everything, whether it's against zombies or against each other."
"Of course, maybe my words cannot win your trust, but this is my attitude. I hope you can understand."
After saying that, Wesker shrugged and adjusted his sunglasses.
William nodded slightly and responded.
"No problem, I just need to set up sentries everywhere. The boss will also rest in our motorcade at night."
"We are not worried about you, we are just worried about this world occupied by the dead. You will understand us, right."
"Of course."
After a brief exchange, the guys from the Alliance got into action. They moved their vehicles near the church of Wuboli Town, and used the positions of the armored vehicles to form two simple defensive walls on the east and west.
One side faces the town area on the east side of the church, which is the living area of Home.
The other side faces the outside of the town to the west, because the road west of the church already leads to the outside of the town.
His arrangement made Wesker shake his head helplessly.
Well, this guy William talks nice, but in fact his defense against himself and Home is written all over his face.
But it's good to be on guard against each other and communicate better.
After all, this is the real way of communication in the wasteland.
At the same time, in the general's office.
After handing out the walkie-talkie, the general spread his hands helplessly and said to Gavin with a wry smile.
"This is a joke to you, Gavin. No matter how much or how little we have, no matter how narrow our wealth is in the eyes of others, it may not even be considered the cost of a meal."
"But we can't help but value what we have more."
"Home can be maintained to this day. I have spent a lot of effort, and my guys have also contributed a lot. The scale here is not large, and the number of people cannot be said to be large. Even the basic planting industry has not been fully developed. We can only plant a small amount of necessary
There are far too few crops to grow, and there is no energy to grow various vegetables and the like that can provide a rich diet."
"At the same time, regarding our security, we are still facing threats from more than six medium-sized camps within hundreds of kilometers of surrounding areas. Our own security cannot be completely guaranteed, and it is impossible to allocate energy to conduct military operations spanning thousands of miles like you and your Expeditionary Force!"
"But this is such an insignificant, pointless Little Ying place in your eyes, but he is my Home, my true love, my heaven and my everything."
"Even though it's ridiculous, I can't help but worry about every future for Home, and worry about every day here."
"It's a joke on you."
Having said this, the general sighed and smiled reluctantly at Gavin Road.
Gavin responded immediately.
"How could it be, Elijah, this is not before the end of the world, and the leadership positions of you and me in our respective camps were never passed down to us by our blood, right?"
"For us, a sense of responsibility, a sense of mission, and indispensable valuing and love for the living and every partner can allow us to continue to move forward with our lives."
"So, if you have no feelings for your Home, then I have to worry about whether you are a friend worth keeping."
"However, for politeness, I am more concerned about the six different camps you just mentioned gathered within a few hundred kilometers of Home?"
"Are you sure it's six? You're not wrong, right?"
"It seems that Home's situation is more complicated than I thought. No wonder you would rather take the risk and let us come over for a trip!"
Speaking of this, Gavin licked his lips!
This time, he really saw something that could bring huge benefits and was worth the risk.
So he raised his right hand, shook it slightly at Eugene and the others, and said.
"Eugene, you go to William first, help William settle down our people, then take a walk around Home, and prepare for tonight's party."
"Just leave Johnny and Liana here. They want to meet Eugenie and Lilith. These are the two women, right? Johnny and Anglu?"
"That's right."
The general quickly answered Gavin's words and nodded to Gavin with excitement.
The general heard it, and Gavin wanted to get rid of the others and have a good talk with himself about the crisis Home was facing!
So the general turned to Johnny and Liana and said impatiently.
"As for Johnny, my friend, I finally met the wife you have been looking for for a long time. She is more beautiful than I imagined. You are really an enviable couple blessed by fate!"
"You can go to the conference room opposite and wait for a while. After Eugenie and Lilith arrive, I will ask them to come to you, please."
After the words fell, the general nodded to the two of them.
Johnny and others looked at each other for a few times and then left the office with a clear understanding.
Johnny and his wife went to the conference room opposite, while the others walked out of the school and wandered around the town of Home.
Each of them should be on the alert. They are all veterans in the wasteland, and they don't need Gavin to remind them how to protect themselves.
After they left, the general took a deep breath and then smiled apologetically at Gavin.
"I'm sorry, Sir Gavin. With your arrival, you should have had a good rest in Home, but I couldn't give you the best environment due to my own problems. This is my fault."
"But please forgive me for having to explain to you the situation that Home and I are facing!"
"We----"
"Okay, Elijah, don't be so damn formal, don't be so official, there are only two of us left!"
Gavin interrupted the general funny and then joked.
"After all, you've fucking seen my slutty behavior at the party before the end. You might have a deeper connection with me than my guys, so you can be polite to me and just say what you have to say."
"Uh----"
The general was stunned by what Gavin said, then nodded in a funny way and responded.
"Well, to be honest, if I wasn't under too much pressure, I actually wouldn't want you to come to my side. After all, you are too big for me and your influence is too deep. I took a big risk."
"As for the problem I'm facing, Gavin, there are too many camps around me, and two of them are cult-style, and the rest are fucking gangster-style. I can't stand it anymore!"
"Even today, I only brought four people to see you, just because I didn't dare to relax my protection on Home, and I didn't even dare to send field personnel, for fear that they would be blocked outside."
"But even at this time, those women are still laughing and joking ungratefully. I'm really --- hey --- speechless."
