All Heavens Unlimited Base

405 , Dust Settled (Part 2 )

Commonwealth, Boston Airport.

The Prydwin airship has returned and is docked at the remodeled port of call at the airport tower. The place where the fire was on the airship has been extinguished, but there is still a trace of black smoke coming out, which is caused by a short circuit. Dozens of technical workers are busy on the airship, making emergency repairs to the airship so that it will not fall down.

And on the wide and empty runway at the airport, all members of the Brotherhood of Steel expedition to the Federation were disarmed and gathered here, waiting to be released. After a series of battles, the Brotherhood of Steel still has more than 300 people on the Federation side, including 90 fighters including retinues and knights, and most of the others are skilled workers and civilians.

Chun Yuyan was in the command center of the Brotherhood of Steel, negotiating with the three highest-ranking members of the brotherhood—Inspector Ingram, Inspector Quinlan, and Inspector Teagan. The content of the negotiation is naturally about how the Brotherhood of Steel will surrender.

Chunyuyan's attitude is very simple, there are three conditions, Liberty Supreme stays, all the databases of the Brotherhood stay, all the resources and equipment of the Brotherhood stay, and then you drive the dilapidated Prydwin alone Airship to go home.

To be honest, Chun Yuyan really looked down on the Prydwin airship. Because this airship is, to put it bluntly, an enhanced version of the Zeppelin airship of the German Empire during World War I, but the whole body has been turned into metal, and all places have been modernized, and there is enough space to set up factories, live area, flight deck only.

Simply put, it is a war base, but this war base is too fragile. Chun Yuyan used two light howitzers, more than a dozen groups of Mistral air defense missiles, and two MI-24 Hind gunships to make the airship look like this. If he really wants to drive back to the world of "Command and Conquer", the near-future high-tech world In the world of war, I am afraid that he will be targeted every minute.

Moreover, the production equipment carried by the Prydwin, as well as the supplies and production line carrying capacity sufficient to support a regiment-level force, are not of much use. Chun Yuyan had heard from Lin Huo before that in the world of "Command and Conquer", there is a kind of equipment called MCV, which is the base vehicle, which can directly support a local battle. However, this kind of equipment can only be used by people at the level of legion commanders in GDI and Nod.

In addition, the Brotherhood of Steel still has a strong foundation in this world. As far as he knows, the real headquarters of the Brotherhood of Steel is on the west coast of the United States. It is not clear that the forces of the NCR are at war.

Then the Brotherhood of Steel on the east side, their roots are also in the Capital District, they occupied the Pentagon as their base. With the status of the Pentagon in the United States, one can imagine how deep they still have.

Therefore, it is better to let the Prydwin go back and sell a favor. Anyway, Chun Yuyan wasn't afraid of this kind of airship making a comeback, or rather, he hoped that they would come in an airship when there was another war with the Brotherhood in the future, because in this way he could easily shoot down the airship, causing the Brotherhood to suffer even more losses.

"As for the conditions you proposed, we cannot agree. The brotherhood's database contains a large number of very dangerous technologies. Some technologies are not even used by us, because we are worried that this technology will cause harm to the world if it is leaked out. "Said Inspector Quinlan.

"You have no choice. You must know that because of you, both the Federation and the Volunteer Army suffered a tragic and unnecessary war. We suffered heavy losses in this war, and you think the point you brought Can supplies be made up? No! Absolutely not." Chunyuyan said.

"In addition, Liberty Supreme cannot be left to you. We can dismantle it and take it away under your supervision, but because it has too strong destructive power, we cannot let them be used by unprepared people." Kun As if he didn't hear Chun Yuyan's words, Inspector Lan said to himself.

Boom! ! Chunyuyan slapped the table, and the metal table was instantly turned into a pile of scrap iron. He pointed at the inspector Kunlan's nose and cursed loudly: "Is it right for the Supreme Liberty to use it for you? What qualifications do you have?" Use Liberty Supreme? Could it be that letting Liberty Supreme go to the castle to kill, suddenly ignoring that there are more than a thousand civilians in the castle, is this a prepared way to use it?!"

"We were at war, sir," said Inspector Ingram.

"Yes! War! If this is the case, I will leave it here, and you must agree to all our conditions! Otherwise, I will take it myself!! You must know that I am negotiating with you to save face! I want to give you a way out! Now that you don’t want to drink a toast, don’t blame me for being rude!!” Chunyuyan’s temper that had been subdued before came up again, pointing at the noses of the three inspectors and swearing.

Inspector Teagan sighed and said, "Then let the elders make the decision."

"Great Elder? By the way, where did Maxson go? Is he really dead?" Chunyuyan asked.

Inspector Ingram didn't speak, but just switched on the communicator.

"I'm not dead." A communication suddenly cut in from the public channel, but the voice was extremely hoarse, like a broken gong, making him a little unsure who it was.

"I am Arthur Maxson, the former elder of the Brotherhood of Steel." Maxson added as if he understood Chunyuyan's doubts.

"The former elder? What happened to you? Since you are a member of the Brotherhood of Steel, you should appear here now and surrender." Chunyuyan said flatly.

"If you think my presence will help the future of the Brotherhood of Steel, then I will come."

"Then please, I can wait." After Chunyuyan finished speaking, he ignored the three inspectors, and turned around to sit on the chair with his eyes closed.

After about ten minutes, a solid man wrapped in a tattered cloak was ushered in by volunteer soldiers. Chunyuyan opened his eyes suddenly, and pierced them with sharp eyes, but the other party was also a strong-willed person, and he still maintained his calmness in this state where I was the Daozu.

The man stepped forward and lifted the cloak.

The skin festered, the hair fell out, and the nose and ears had all but disappeared. What appeared in front of everyone was such an ugly monster.

Even Inspector Ingram and the others were frightened. Ingram murmured, "Great... Great Elder... why are you..."

"I was exposed to excessive radiation in the core area of ​​the large nuclear fusion plant. Although I survived by chance, my body has mutated. Now I can no longer be said to be alone... I'm sorry..." Maxson said slowly Said slowly. His vocal cords were also damaged, making his voice hoarse and unpleasant.

Inspector Ingram shook his head in pain and said: "No! We should be the ones who should be sorry! You used your life to obtain the beryllium oscillator and covered my evacuation, so that we can activate the Liberty Supreme and have the last chance .But we completely ruined this opportunity..."

"It's not your fault, Ingram. Because the Zouaves are more determined to win than we are," Maxson said.

Inspector Ingram wanted to refute, but she immediately remembered those volunteer soldiers who resisted Liberty with flesh and blood, and the words she was about to speak turned into a sigh.

Only then did Maxson turn to Chunyuyan and said, "The Brotherhood of Steel will agree to all the three conditions you raised. But we hope there are some restrictions."

"Tell me." Chunyuyan nodded.

"The purpose of the Brotherhood of Steel is to collect unnecessary, out-of-spec technology under our control. This purpose is not motivated by ambition, but a way we hope to bring peace to this land. Human The fighting will never be stopped, but if the Brotherhood of Steel's goals can be achieved, no matter how much humanity struggles, it won't be as devastating as the Great War.

At the same time, the Brotherhood's higher level of force can also suppress some wars that exceed the limit. But... the last time you came to see me on the Prydwin, you asked me a few questions, and now I understand that this is indeed something that the Brotherhood cannot solve. "Maxson said, "I want to quit the Brotherhood of Steel not because I have become a ghoul, but because of this. "

Chunyuyan didn't speak, but continued to nod. The secret meeting he had with Elder Maxson last time was the reason why he decided to be hostile to the Brotherhood of Steel. Because he found that Maxson did know the existence of those problems, but he believed that he could solve this problem himself.

Those problems are actually very simple. The first is that the Brotherhood of Steel is separated from the public, becoming a superior "upper class" and discriminating against the "lower class". The second is how the Brotherhood can ensure that those beyond-limit technologies will not be used by themselves to destroy the original order.

Maxson always believes that these two problems can be solved through personality, morality and sense of honor, but it turns out that neither personality, morality nor sense of honor can do anything at all. The Brotherhood was in a hurry and still activated Liberty Supreme to move towards the civilians in the castle.

"But the problem you gave me before is now in front of you. So, how will you solve it?" Maxson kicked the ball back.

Chunyuyan smiled, lit a cigarette for himself, and said, "First, I will make a copy of the Brotherhood's database, and I will discuss the contents with you. 10% of the content, and the related technology of these contents I will promise you will not appear in this world.

Second, Liberal Sovereign must stay. But I will remove all the parts inside it, leaving only the shell, and transform it into a monument to show everyone the brave fighting and sacrifice of the volunteers. Third, leave everything behind, except food. Yes, you can take food away. That's my bottom line. "

"I agree." Maxson thought for a while, agreed directly, and then continued to ask: "But you haven't answered my question yet."

"The problem of the Brotherhood of Steel is not a problem for me at all. Because I only worry that the technology is not advanced enough, and that the destructive power is not strong enough." Chun Yuyan said, exhaling a puff of smoke.

"You intend to repeat the mistakes of the Great War?"

"No, it's simply because...there are many parallel worlds. The world we live in is just an extremely small one among countless worlds." Chunyuyan smiled, patted Maxson on the shoulder, turned and left.

Then it was between Maxson and the fraternity, not him.

...

The Prydwin airship turned slowly and headed south. It carried the remnants of the Brotherhood of Steel. About 50 members of the Brotherhood of Steel offered to join the Volunteer Army and leave the Brotherhood, and Chun Yuyan happily accepted them.

After completing the negotiations, Maxson officially announced to all Brotherhood members the fact that he had been radiated and turned into a ghoul. There are two types of ghouls, one is the conscious ghouls, they can be regarded as humans mutated by nuclear radiation. They are ugly because of mutations, but they are very long-lived and not afraid of nuclear radiation.

And the other one is the mad ghoul. This kind can no longer be called human beings, because they don't have any consciousness or IQ at all besides killing.

The Brotherhood of Steel is a human-first organization, and their values ​​make it impossible for them to accept that their elders have become ghouls, even if the reason is because the elders risked their lives to mutate in the middle of the battle.

Maxson temporarily gave up the position of elder to Ingram Inspector, and the election of elders will be held after they return to the headquarters in the capital district.

Although many people do not want to see Maxson leave, but this established fact also makes them have to accept.

...

The aftermath also began around the same time.

The Liberty Supreme was disassembled, keeping the shell, but all the parts inside would be removed, and then the shell would be filled with cement. And a pedestal will also be poured out. Inside the pedestal are the ashes and relics of the 279 volunteer victims who used their bodies to block the advance of the Liberty Supreme during the battle of the castle, and their names are engraved on the outside.

The Volunteer Army also notified the entire Federation of its victory immediately, and also made the existence of the academy public. In the announcement to the public, the Volunteer Army explained the origin, organization and purpose of the academy, and announced that all members of the academy would be exiled and would never return to the Federation.

At the same time, the Volunteer Army also explained the situation of synthetics to all federal residents. They will distribute equipment that can identify synthetics to all villages, but at the same time they will also announce that the existence of synthetics is legal, and they will build a village of synthetics. Synthetics and normal humans slowly get used to each other.

And the replacement of residents with synthetics will disappear completely, never.

As for the Brotherhood of Steel, the Volunteer Army also declared victory in the war against them, and the two sides signed an armistice agreement. The Brotherhood of Steel promised that they would never step into the area controlled by the Volunteer Army.

In addition, the Volunteer Army declared the gunman organization illegal, the existence of super mutants and ghouls illegal, and any kind of predatory behavior illegal. These people are the targets of unconditional extermination. However, the existence of ghouls is legalized by the Volunteer Army and enjoys citizenship.

Ghouls and synthetic humans will legally exist as the other two sub-human races recognized by the Volunteer Army, and relevant laws and regulations will gradually improve.

In other words, from today onwards, the Volunteer Army has become the sole master of the entire Federation!

This time the application for unblocking was rejected, and it is basically certain that the website does not intend to let the mechanic out. Regarding this matter, I can only express my helplessness. My arms can't twist my thighs, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future.

At present, the grades of this book are very bad, and I don't know what the future holds. Anyway, I will stick to writing.
