Why don't they build a base?
It's been almost two years since the storm subsided, and land has gradually reappeared. As the leaders of the military's fire-starting base, why haven't they built a base?
The support allocated to them was no less than that allocated to the Kyoto base.
After the incidents involving Chief Chen and Chief Liu, Bai Shuang had a bad impression of the high-ranking officials at the southern military base.
But this doesn't prevent the two from being kind to other people.
More than a hundred submarines have returned from the south, and Lu Yu treats all the soldiers equally.
As long as you have the ability, the position will generally be similar to your original position.
Bai Shuang: "Alright, since they're all Chinese, they can just follow the normal procedures."
Lu Yu: "They're not coming in at the base entrance; they're waiting for us to greet them."
Bai Shuang: "And then take them back and worship them, give them their place, and let them boss us around? Dream on!"
"Then let them wait."
If it weren't for the trouble caused by the previous visits of the two leaders, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu would have given them face upon their return.
It's no big deal to greet them and then arrange a nice spot for them.
But now, who's going to indulge you?
Lu Yu had someone send them the base's acceptance rules.
In other words, we're telling them that they can come in, but their previous positions don't count, and everything will be arranged by us.
If you're not satisfied, then leave. If you're so capable, go build your own base.
In fact, when Lu Yu and Bai Shuang established this system, it was relative to them.
I worry that one day, I might develop inappropriate thoughts.
Bai Shuang asked, "Who are they?"
Lu Yu: "I heard from them that Chiefs Shen and Liu are both here, as well as Deputy Chief Han."
"I heard Xu Xin and Sun Xiangming say that Deputy Commander Han seems to be alright."
The other two are basically criminals from the Kyoto base; who would want to cause trouble for themselves with them?
At the southern base, although Deputy Commander Han later took charge of the overall situation, the two men continued to receive their salaries.
Although they no longer manage things, they can still eat and drink well.
Here, Bai Shuang and Lu Yu wouldn't tolerate their bad habits.
Afterwards, Lu Yu handed the matter over to Deputy Chief Zhu and didn't interfere anymore.
The base is busy harvesting crops right now; who has time to take care of them?
Bai Shuang and Lu Yu didn't pay any attention to it; they just waited outside. Before long, Deputy Chief Han didn't want to wait any longer.
"I'm going in. You can wait if you want."
He knew in his heart that he was in the wrong for not building his own base, so why was he putting on airs when he came to enjoy the base built by others?
You're already being kind by not rejecting them; do you expect them to welcome you?
Chief Shen: "Aren't you afraid they'll trample you underfoot if you slink in like this?"
Deputy Chief Han said, "It's better to be trampled underfoot than to starve to death."
Chief Liu: "Are you offering yourself up for humiliation?"
Did they humiliate you?
Sowing discord and refusing to go in—just wait and see. If you don't go in yourself, don't let your subordinates starve to death.
Deputy Commander Han went in and took his personal guards with him. The others followed suit, going to the checkpoint for inspection before entering the base.
Having finally found a place to stay, they had no intention of wasting their time there.
In the end, only Chief Shen and Chief Liu remained, along with their subordinates and family members.
We lack the capability and resources to build a base. If we don't go in, are we just waiting to starve to death?
However, judging from their posture, the other party didn't take them seriously, and besides, they had a past conflict—no, you could say they had a grudge…
If I go in, they definitely won't give me any official position; I'll probably just be treated as an ordinary survivor.
Having grown accustomed to a life of luxury, it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. How will we live in the future?
Furthermore, after committing a crime at the Kyoto base and being taken back to the Southern Base, although he lost his real power, he still held his position and received the same salary and benefits.
As long as you have a job, you have face; as long as you have a salary and benefits, your standard of living remains the same.
But now, will the Huaxia base still support them for nothing?
Impossible. How could anyone endure the feeling of falling from the clouds to the mud?
So they sent a message to their leader, requesting that they be given a piece of land to live in.
Lu Yu's answer was, "Impossible."
Wouldn't that create a country within a country, leading to endless troubles?
Either come in and live as an ordinary citizen, or find your own territory and build your own base.
Anyway, deserted islands aren't hard to find now. The problem is, you guys have to have the ability to survive.
Survival is difficult now, and marine life is still not safe to eat.
The wastelands all over the world, the old Americans, the old Eels, and the old Russians, they're all so capable, yet they still haven't managed to grow any decent plants.
That's why there's such a market for human rations from the Japanese army.
In other words, they would rather eat human flesh than eat anything from the sea.
Without Bai Shuang's generous material support, and without her spiritual spring water, the Huaxia base would also face great difficulties.
They were hesitating: should they grit their teeth and go in to live an ordinary life, or should they find another island, set up their own territory, and become kings of the mountain?
"Since they don't welcome us, let's not go in. Let's find a place and build our own power base."
Chief Liu's wife finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.
"That's right, Dad, let's find a place. By the way, didn't we come across several uninhabited islands on our way here?"
"If we gather a group of people, who knows, we might even become emperors!"
If her father were the emperor, wouldn't she be a princess? Liu Hui thought to herself with delight.
Liu Yong glanced at his younger sister speechlessly.
Now that no one is in charge, it's not hard to find unclaimed islands. As long as you have enough resources and food, and plenty of people to follow you, becoming an emperor isn't difficult.
But the question is, do you have it?
You don't have any, right? Then why should others follow you?
Even if you have it, without weapons and sufficient strength, it will be stolen.
Thinking of this, Liu Yong said to Chief Liu, "Dad, go in. Just be an ordinary person, that's fine. Survival is the most important thing."
Now that everything is in need of rebuilding, it's a time when people are in high demand. If you work hard, you might have a chance to get ahead.
"Slap!" Commander Liu slapped his son across the face.
"You spineless wretch! I, Liu, would rather die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"
After saying that, he waved to his followers behind him, "Let's go. I don't believe that if old man Lu can build a base, I can't."
He was unaware that the Huaxia base was actually built by Bai Shuang and Lu Yu, and that Old Man Lu had not yet returned.
If Bai Shuang saw this series of actions, she would give a thumbs up and praise, "You have ambition, well done."
After saying that, Chief Liu entered the submarine. Liu Hui and his wife, who were behind him, also followed him with their heads held high and their subordinates followed.
Liu Yong looked at Chief Shen, "Uncle Shen, what are you going to do?"
Chief Shen glanced at his wife and children behind him. He didn't care about himself, but he couldn't lead his family into the abyss.
"I would like to have a talk with Mr. Lu."
