I heard Li Xin’s conditions.
Ahmed hesitated, then finally nodded.
He knew that this was the best condition he could get.
The mountain warriors had indeed run out of food, although they could still hold on.
It’s not like they haven’t experienced blockades and food crises before, but they were able to find ways to deal with them quickly.
However, this time Ahmed didn't want to do that.
The mountain warriors have lived in the mountains for fifty or sixty years, and this time they want to come down and take a walk.
Ahmed inquired, “When are we coming down?”
Li Xin smiled slightly and said, "The sooner the better!"
"When you come down, I will hold a grand ceremony to let everyone know that the Mountain Warriors made the right decision."
Ahmed asked doubtfully, "Don't you need us to disguise ourselves and act as spies while we eliminate other rebel groups?"
Li Xin shook his head mysteriously and said, "I don't need an insider!"
"Compared to being an insider, if you officially join us, it will give a greater morale boost to the Yadun region!"
Are you kidding? There was already a precedent of the mountain warrior defecting, and Li Xin just wanted to capture him as soon as possible to prevent any further complications.
They stayed in the mountains as internal supporters, and even when the rebels were being surrounded, the mountain warriors turned against them.
This sounds great, but it can easily go wrong.
If the mountain warriors took the resources but didn't do any work, Li Xin would suffer a pure loss.
There are many advantages to publicly announcing the joining of the mountain warriors to the garrison.
Firstly, it was a severe blow to the morale of some small resistance organizations. After all, the Mountain Warriors were already a relatively large and long-standing resistance organization.
They couldn't hold on and finally surrendered.
The small rebel army has no fighting morale at all.
Second, many young people in the Yadun area have heard the story of the mountain warriors. It can be said that this is the goal of the young people in Yadun's yearning for freedom and resistance.
As a result, the idol organization eventually surrendered, which would have deterred many young people from joining the resistance organization.
Therefore, on the whole, it is most appropriate to let the mountain warriors come down directly.
Ahmed nodded and said, "Then I will bring everyone down as soon as possible."
He held out his hand: "I hope you can keep your promise!"
Li Xin shook his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will abide by it."
…
Ahmed came down from the small building and walked on the streets of the settlement.
After walking for a while, he looked back at the small building he had just passed. On the balcony, Li Xin was holding a cup of milk tea and looking at him.
Li Xin raised his glass from a distance and toasted Ahmed.
Ahmed turned around and continued walking forward. The street seemed so peaceful.
Even the people passing by on the road became much calmer.
In the past, the rate of gun ownership here was very high. People with guns naturally became more assertive, but it also made conflicts more likely to break out.
That's no longer the case. The breeze that picks up dust from the streets is stained a pale yellow by the sand.
Children were playing on both sides of the street, holding simple and crude toys in their hands. They were holding all kinds of scraps and using them as weapons and guns.
One side plays the role of the blueprint garrison, and the other side plays the role of the resistance.
Both sides fought passionately here.
Ahmed stopped and watched the scene with interest.
"It's our turn to be the garrison, it's time to change!"
"Yeah, you guys have been in two rounds!"
"It's our turn!"
After a round of fighting ended, several children shouted excitedly and quickly asked to change camps.
"Change it!"
"We agreed that you will be the garrison this time, and we will be the ones next time!" A child on the other side shouted reluctantly.
"No! We have to be the garrison for two rounds too. The resistance is too weak. It's not fun to be the garrison!"
"The garrison is still better, with mechas and tanks!"
The two children started arguing, but soon they reached a balance and the game continued.
This scene made Ahmed look a little dazed.
Once upon a time, the children of Yadun enjoyed being rebels, why did they change so quickly now?
Ahmed continued walking forward on the street and saw another scene.
In some spacious places, Blueprint even arranged holographic projections, showing the luxurious weapons and equipment of the Blueprint garrison.
Armored off-road vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery, mechas, helicopters, and fighter jets.
Soldiers armed to the teeth, etc., not just the garrison, but also the garrison in training.
There are also the 20,000 rejected workers who are still working. Their faces are rosy at this time. Even if they are eating the cheapest energy paste, they don’t have to worry about the consumption of the energy paste. This is a good thing.
There are also interviews with local people, even interviews with workers' families.
All of this shows that in the few months since Li Xin's arrival, each settlement in Yadun seems to be getting better.
People have more expectations than ever before.
Changes are slow, and even in this settlement, apart from the ban on guns, there are no other changes.
The beautiful scenes in the picture are still just pilot projects, circulating within a small area.
But even so, many people are looking forward to it.
Most people in the world are not worried about scarcity but about inequality.
Everyone was equally poor, living the same hard life, with not enough to eat and not enough warm clothes to wear.
Then this situation is not bad, because everyone is the same and can be tolerated.
But it was different when one suddenly discovered that some people's lives were improved with the help of the Blueprint Garrison.
Some people will resent it, but more people will envy and look forward to this kind of life.
This is the significance of Li Xin playing these images, to make everyone in Yadun look forward to their future life, instead of turning around and becoming a rebel.
When people have dignified jobs and can earn enough to fill their stomachs, naturally, fewer people will be willing to join the resistance.
The rebels in Yadun are not just rebelling against the blueprint, but more for food, and they want to plunder the rebels of other forces around them.
Ahmed withdrew his gaze. He knew that Li Xin was shaking the foundation of all the rebels.
But Li Xin seemed a little too impatient. He murmured, "Too impatient. Is this a good thing?"
He closed his mouth and continued walking forward.
On the straight street, the setting sun shone on Ahmed's face, and the dim sunlight lengthened his shadow.
At dusk, a not very tall but tall figure was walking forward.
He seemed to be embracing the light, yet also seemed to be walking towards the gradually sliding darkness...
