Chapter 11 Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills
"If you had attacked the prison as planned, the heating equipment you would have been able to obtain would have been limited. Furthermore, the prison had the support of the Volk Police Department. Attacking them would have been tantamount to openly challenging the newly appointed planetary commander, which would have only led to a more severe encirclement and suppression."
Before Shengxia could finish her words, the third person beside An Yuan snorted coldly and told Shengxia that she was just a newcomer and didn't understand the situation. When it comes to the most ruthless forces on the entire planet of Walker, the planetary commander and his federal security team are not on the list at all, but Dr. Scream and the Black Madman are turtles that will not let go once they bite. If they retaliate, the situation will only be more serious than a siege.
"But things are different this year." Shengxia shrugged casually.
"What do you mean?" An Yuan raised his eyes.
"I heard that Crazy Black was summoned to the Government Hall by the planetary commander and never came out. After that, martial law was imposed inside the entire Government Hall. Shortly afterward, assassination teams from various factions arrived at the buildings outside the Government Hall."
"So what? They've been in cahoots with each other since the beginning." The third brother disagreed, but Shengxia shook her finger at him: "No, the forces represented by Black Madman are obviously anxious to join forces with the new planetary commander. Why?"
"Why?" The second leader of the Independence Army also came over and asked.
"There are bigger forces that want to take over their production lines, and we can use this to muddy the waters and profit from it."
"For example?" An Yuan asked while thinking.
"For example, completely swallow up Black Madman's production line, replace him, and then negotiate cooperation with others."
"You're just bragging." The third brother couldn't stand it any longer and said frankly that the current size of the Independence Army was not enough to compete with other forces on this planet.
At this moment, Shengxia suddenly retorted, "It's precisely because we're outnumbered that we need a thorough counterattack. If we simply retreat, we'll be wiped out sooner or later. Most importantly, the Independence Army relies on the people. If even the people lose their trust in the Independence Army, what will be left?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the third brother of the Independence Army, but even the other people who came to listen could not help but fall into silence.
They have fought so hard to get to this point, and seeing their companions dwindling in number, they are naturally unwilling to accept this. But at the same time, they are also afraid that one more act of recklessness will deplete all their wealth. What will they do then?
Shengxia said it easily, but if she failed, did she know the pain of losing her relatives and friends?
Suddenly, beyond everyone's expectation,
An Yuan, the leader of the independent army, stood up and agreed with Sheng Xia's proposal, "Well, let's attack the heater manufacturing factory owned by Dr. Scream and Black Madman."
What?! Everyone looked at An Yuan unconsciously for a moment. However, An Yuan did not explain why he did this. Instead, he asked Sheng Xia about the artificial intelligence system defense of the heater manufacturing plant. She said she could break it?
"Of course, I've already written down the personnel needed to crack the blueprints and the corresponding attack."
"Okay, second brother, come over here and discuss this together."
Seeing An Yuan taking Shengxia and the second brother towards the combat meeting room, the third brother widened his eyes in disbelief. Isn't it... so simple that he doesn't even need to think about it?
At this time, Lao Ma came over and held the third brother's shoulder, telling him that although this was a risky move, it was also a good opportunity. The most important thing was that even if Dr. Scream wanted to retaliate, he could not catch up like the federal army. On the contrary, if they could inflict a heavy blow on Dr. Scream and his men, the independent army would also be able to occupy a seat at the negotiation table. Otherwise, it would be like boiling a frog in warm water and would drown sooner or later.
The third brother: ... "But, but she...she is not one of us yet."
"She may not have all the best intentions, but we don't have a choice now."
At the same time, An Yuan was also very clear that changing his mindset to implement Sheng Xia's proposal was indeed risky, but the results of the attack on the prison were not very good. The most important thing was the heating equipment. If they couldn't get the heating equipment, they would not die in battle but would be frozen to death. In this case, the situation changed suddenly, and they must change their mindset to adapt to the changes as soon as possible and seize the opportunity.
The four-hour discussion was very pleasant. Shengxia was originally worried that Anyuan would not be able to follow her ideas, but she was obviously very perceptive and had a good way of deploying troops.
After the discussion, Shengxia said that he would go and pick up all his companions. Some of them were very skilled and could help. In addition, both the children and the thugs could receive the corresponding basic education here.
An Yuan looked a bit surprised. "You know, when the Independence Army first proposed basic education, no one was in favor. They felt that learning combat techniques would be more useful than knowledge."
Sheng Xia smiled gracefully, "Learning combat techniques is useful in the short term, but if we want to understand where we come from, why we fight, and where we are going, then we must popularize basic education. This is also the indispensable cornerstone for the sustainable and stable development of society in the future."
"I really feel like I've known you for a long time."
"Because our beliefs are the same, we naturally get along well."
"What a shared belief! From now on, I will call you comrade. We will both be very important members of the Independence Army."
Comrade...?
This name really makes me feel intimate.
The next morning, Lao Ma sent Sheng Xia back to the city and brought Xi Zi and the others back. When they arrived at the complex where Lang Ba Xia was, Sheng Xia asked Lao Ma to give her some time because she still had to explain to her companions the necessity of joining the Independence Army.
"Okay, but you have to be quick."
Shengxia gave Lao Ma a thumbs up.
At the same time, the investigators standing at the window of Lang Basha's room and seeing this scene couldn't help but gasp.
He turned around and looked at Lang Baxia, signaling him not to reveal his presence for a while. He had to judge for himself whether the person specially sent by the planet's commander wanted to wipe out the independence army or wanted to take the opportunity to unite with the independence army.
Although Mo Siming repeatedly emphasized at the family meeting that the planetary commander sent people out to completely wipe out the independence army, the people in the family were gradually losing patience with the planetary commander. It was because of this situation that he was sent out by the family to gather information without Mo Siming's knowledge. It can be said that Shengxia's every word and action will now be secretly monitored and scrutinized.
Lang Baxia knew that the power behind this spy was one that he could not afford to offend. In addition, because Shengxia had previously asked him to join the independence army, after repeated consideration, Lang Baxia also wanted to test Shengxia again, so he agreed to the spy's request without hesitation.
When Shengxia came to Lang Baxia's room to look for the actors, Lang Baxia had specially left some investigators with him.
"Including these two disabled people, there are thirteen people in total. Is that all right?" Lang Baxia tapped the personnel list and asked about the situation of the Shengxia Independence Army.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Shengxia's attention was now on the child on the first floor who looked up at them blankly.
"Of course." "What's going on with those kids? Are there more kids these days?"
As a result, Shengxia not only did not answer Lang Baxia's question but also changed the subject. Lang Baxia took a deep breath and calmed himself down to explain to Shengxia that those children were found by the actors. He was particularly obsessed with wanting to follow Shengxia, so he worked very hard.
Shengxia cast her gaze towards the actor standing in the room. Feeling her gaze, the actor lowered his head in embarrassment for some reason.
"Look up." At this time, Shengxia took two steps to the front of the actor. The actor slowly raised his head and looked at her along the line of Shengxia's shoes.
"Are you sure you want to follow me?"
"Sure." The actor blushed for some reason.
"Okay, then remember this. I don't need any trash around me. I have an important task for you to do right now."
An important mission? At that moment, Lang Baxia and the explorers couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"Play the role of myself after joining the Independence Army."
Actor:?
Lang Baxia:? ?
Investigator: ???
"I've been with the Independence Army for too short a time, and haven't had time to fully understand every aspect of it. Their bases are scattered, and if you don't root them out, they'll grow back. The most important thing for you to do when you follow me to the Independence Army is to act like a good Independence Army soldier. Join them, integrate into their ranks, become one of them, and hide yourself, waiting for an opportunity to follow my orders."
"I heard yesterday that the Independence Army will launch an attack in the near future. The specific target is still unknown, but since they can take action, it means our chance will come soon."
Having said that, Lang Baxia swallowed his saliva subconsciously. Yes, his chance to grab wealth is coming soon.
Xizi was still a little confused, not understanding what Shengxia meant by joining them, integrating into them, and becoming one of them. Later, she heard Shengxia say that although children who joined the Independence Army could move freely, they had to attend basic knowledge courses. She was now very worried that Xizi and the others would get restless in class and cause trouble, ruining the show.
"We can sit still and study." Upon hearing this, Xizi immediately stated that he would study hard and obey the arrangements of the Independence Army.
"You alone are not enough." After saying this, Shengxia looked at the other children and pretended to be worried and asked if they should change some people.
As soon as this was said, all the children, even the thugs who followed them, immediately expressed their willingness to study hard and make progress every day.
"No, what are you studying?" Shengxia looked at the four thugs who followed her and reminded them again that she was their boss and that they should follow her instructions when they got to the Independence Army.
Of course, life is like a play, it all depends on acting, so I have to act well when the time comes, but it all depends on the situation...
"Yes, sir!"
After instructing the thirteen people who followed her, Shengxia turned to look at Lang Baxia. Lang Baxia immediately said that she would follow her instructions and would definitely play the role of joining the Independence Army well.
"The Independence Army isn't very defensive against children, so during this time, you should find more children. I'll find the right opportunity to come and inform you. Then you can bring your people to join the Independence Army. We'll try to find out all the Independence Army bases."
"No problem." Lang Baxia excitedly gave Shengxia a thumbs up.
Shengxia also smiled and gave Lang Baxia a thumbs up. Instead of preaching those unrealistic principles to these children, it would be better to coax them to start studying seriously. It would also allow Lang Baxia to spend money and effort to gather as many wandering children as possible.
Win-win!
Investigator: ... Nothing seems to be wrong???
To be honest, they had always thought that it would take a lot of ammunition and manpower to wipe out the independence army, but they didn't expect that they could use children to explore the independence army's base. Well, although the method is dark, it is still quite useful at the moment?
"Then..." After Shengxia left, Lang Baxia looked at the investigators.
"That's okay. It seems that the new planet commander is really doing practical work." The explorer was very satisfied, but before leaving, he asked Lang Basha to notify him immediately once he received news that the Independence Army was going to take action.
