Section 632 Fees
The most common road to the Imperial Domain from Konoha Town is to pass through the Imperial Defense Forces 44l Infantry Division station in the north and then enter the city.
"My mother walked back and forth on this road for hundreds of times, but when she came back, she met a group of damn bastards."
Zhang Huahua roared in anger: "They openly set up checkpoints on that road, saying that they would charge some tolls. There were only eight people under my mother, including the driver. They rushed out dozens of them, well-equipped, and even had heavy machine guns. I originally wanted to calm down, but if I didn't go too far, I would admit it. Unexpectedly, they were even more in love than their butts. The lion spoke big and wanted to take away half of my goods at once. Mama, I couldn't stand this tone. I wanted to kill those bastards to death."
Su Hao looked at the trucks and asked lightly: "If they ask for payment, do you pay honestly?"
Zhang Huahua's little eyes, which were squeezed together by the fat meat, showed an extremely violent and fierce light: "The thing is to be placed there for the time being. I will come back to move troops and report to you the incident. You are the mayor, and I will do whatever you say you do."
There are not many people who admire Zhang Huahua, and Su Hao is one of them.
The reason for this effect was of course the night when Wang Hu died in battle and Su Hao rushed out of the city alone to kill and kill. At that time, Zhang Huahua's understanding of men changed completely. She was no longer interested in drunkards fighting each other, and also applauded those idiots who wrestled each other to see who was more powerful. She firmly believed that it should be like Mayor Su Hao who could be considered a man.
Su Hao looked inside and outside the truck with a keen gaze.
He did not think that Zhang Huahua dared to lie in front of him. Doing this would not do her any benefit. Of course, it is unlikely to collude with outsiders to swallow goods. Bella and Zhang Huahua have a lot of contact, and this fat girl is also a very good candidate for "worker bee". Compared with the two hatchbacks, everything Zhang Huahua said and the experience of being forced to pay should be true.
Su Hao turned around and turned his eyes to Zhang Huahua: "Where is the charging point you mentioned? How many of them are there?"
Zhang Huahua's face suddenly showed an excited red light. She picked up her military backpack filled with weapons and ammunition and replied loudly: "It's on the north road, not too far from here. There are dozens of people, but it will definitely not exceed one hundred."
Strictly speaking, this road should be considered a personal funding for Qiao Tianyu.
The key fortresses were released, and on the edge of the human empire and the dark world, there were almost all flat wastelands. Of course, any place could be accessed, but without special renovation, the rugged ground was difficult to pass, the speed was reduced to the lowest, and the violent bumps would also cause harm to the cargo and the vehicle itself. In contrast, although the construction of roads was huge, it could effectively avoid the above problems.
There are many vehicles in Konoha Town: including trucks used for transportation, including different models of combat vehicles, magnetic levitation vehicles, and vehicles that mercenaries used parts to assemble and transform. However, more than half of these cars need to be repaired, or even thoroughly repaired. Even after Su Hao became the mayor, he managed the vehicles in the town uniformly, and there were still quite a few of them on the verge of scrapping.
Guided by a light infantry fighting vehicle, dozens of vehicles loaded with armed personnel drove out of Konoha Town. The chariot of course came from the support of the "Iron Warriors" Legion. Its majestic appearance is enough to pose a threat to anyone, especially on the edge, which means strength and represents death.
, At a distance, the convoy began to separate. Su Hao and two armored trucks were shaking along the main road for nearly three hours, and saw the checkpoint that Zhang Huahua mentioned from afar.
It was a triangular roadblock made of thick trees. Strictly speaking, it was actually a few obstacles randomly placed in the middle of the road. The surface was painted with yellow and black paint, which looked neat and met the requirements of the roadblock. These roadblocks were placed very concentratedly, and there was no gap on the road for vehicles to pass through. There were sand barricades on the left and right of the road, and several men with guns were walking around. When they noticed that cars were coming in this direction, they immediately put away their lazy expressions and set up heavy machine guns from the sand barricades.
Su Hao stood in the pocket of the armored truck, looking at the checkpoints that were constantly approaching in the distance, frowned slightly.
The reason why the convoys are separated is to avoid unnecessary troubles and can also be unexpected.
He originally thought that Zhang Huahua should have encountered a group of robbers who robbed the house, or a guy who was wandering around the edge. There were many such people when they were in Redstone City. They formed gangs and robbed them unscrupulously, and dared to attack any target they were attracted to. Of course, these people were somewhat self-aware. Even when they were robbed, they usually did not kill people and left behind property that could protect their capital. After all, no matter who they were, they needed to live within the town. Even if they were not lucky and encountered the victim, they had enough way out.
The locations of the card set-up chosen by these people in front of me are very subtle. There are large rocks on both sides that cannot be lifted by personal power. Along the way, Su Hao did not find any landmines or dangerous defensive weapons. Although the checkpoints look simple, the two sand trunks are very critical. Using sandbags to pile up soil into fortifications means that they want to defend here for a long time. Moreover, Su Hao also saw building materials such as steel and cement piled up next to the sand trunks.
This coincides with Zhang Huahua's description: the checkpoint did not appear for a long time and was in a hurry.
However, the meaning it represents is not optimistic.
Obviously, if the other party wants to set up a long-term checkout here, Konoha Town wants to trade with the empire's domestic domain, it must pass through this place. Once it is blocked, either choose to pay or get nothing.
A strong man holding an assault rifle came over from behind the roadblock, glanced at the truck that had just stopped, and then looked at Su Hao and others who jumped out of the carriage, and asked with vigilance: "Who are you? What do you think?"
Su Hao smiled faintly: "I should be asking you this."
Despite not making any threatening moves, the strong man still felt strong hostility from Su Hao. He wanted to say a few harsh words, but under the pressure of the other party, he became timid instinct. So he took a few steps back and forth, quickly ran behind the roadblock, leaned against the sand lane, and while talking back and forth on the communicator's keyboard, he hurriedly said: "This place is blocked. We are ordered to set up a road card here. If you want to go there, pay the fee according to the regulations. If you don't have money, go back and forth."
There are not many people guarding the checkpoints, only a dozen. As Zhang Huahua said, the weapons and equipment are very well-equipped, and obviously they are not allowed to be purchased by ordinary mercenaries or hunters. As for the difference in number, Su Hao noticed that there were several very obvious ruts on the side of the road, bent and twisted around and headed west.
Su Hao turned his body, raised his arm, pointed at the strong man with a gun standing opposite him, and asked Zhang Huahua, who was standing next to him with anger: "Is there any of the people who detained your truck at that time?"
Zhang Huahua pressed her right hand on the holster at her waist, nodded, and replied viciously: "He screamed the most fiercely and had the biggest voice."
Su Hao looked clear. He reached out and pressed the communicator on his chest. Soon, at the end of the road behind him, three infantry fighting vehicles quickly drove up. The dark large-caliber machine cannon pointed straight at the two sand barriers, which made people feel chilling when they saw it.
"Hey, what do you think? What do you think?"
The strong man's forehead suddenly felt dense cold sweat. He thought for a moment, and the fierce expression on his face also eased, and he shouted loudly: "Don't believe that woman's words, we are just charging vehicles with goods. You, no matter who you are, it's better to let your people not be so impulsive. I can let you go, it's free."
It feels bad to be aimed at by a large caliber cannon, and it is difficult for anyone to remain calm in this situation. The triangular barricades are quickly dragged away and the road becomes unobstructed again.
Su Hao had no intention of leaving, and the chariot gun barrel did not aim at the direction.
He stared at the strong man standing opposite him: "You haven't answered my question yet. Who are you? What do you think?"
The strong man's face was full of anger and fear. He waved his fist hard and shouted: "You can't control who we are. If you want to leave, leave, go back if you don't. I warn you, it's best to dispel the idea of helping the woman beside you. Of course, if you want to stay, I won't object. Our people will come soon, don't toast or not eat and drink."
A slight sneer appeared on the corner of Su Hao's lips.
Following the direction of the ruts on the ground disappearing, he had seen smoke and dust appearing in the distance and heard a faint roar of motors. A few minutes later, a long convoy drove over, took a turn, and stopped on the side of the road.
Except for the half-track armored vehicles carrying armed personnel, the rest are all infantry fighting vehicles. Of course, the model appearance is different from that of Su Hao's chariots, and the armor also seems weaker.
With the roadblock as the core, dozens of fully armed men in black were suddenly around. They were well-trained and aimed directly at Su Hao and others standing in the middle. The strong man who had become cowardly under Su Hao's pressure also became fanatical and excited again because of the arrival of reinforcements from his own side. He waved his fists hard and froze back and forth in the air a few times, shouting wildly: "I told you, you will be in trouble hahahahaha, you can't leave now, but you can't wait to die."
The door of a half-track armored vehicle in the middle suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man in a black jumpsuit walked down. The most eye-catching feature of him was the beards on his lips that looked like thick ink. The man looked at Su Hao coldly, his eyes like a knife.
"Do you want to get over?"
The middle-aged man looked at Su Hao with a calm expression, and suddenly a very strange smile appeared on his cold face along the way: "No problem. This world has always been free. You can come and go anywhere you want. Of course, the premise is that you must abide by the rules."
As he said that, the man turned his body slightly and winked at a guard next to him. The latter immediately walked up to him with knowledge, took out a document from his backpack he carried with him, and handed it over.
"We are not the bandits you imagine. We are all serious businessmen."
Looking at Su Hao who took the documents and read them, the middle-aged man's pride and contempt seemed to be deeper. He quickly noticed Zhang Huahua standing beside Su Hao, and his smile suddenly became a little sarcastic: "Why, I confiscated your goods and felt that I couldn't swallow this. I wanted to find someone to come back to help? Haha, things are not as simple as you think. Do you think the card charge is just as simple as putting a few bricks on the road? Do you think I am the kind of person who will be persuaded casually? It's better to dispel the unrealistic thoughts in your mind. From today on, everything here is different from the past. Either pay the toll honestly, or you don't have to go anywhere, stay at your own home honestly."
This ridicule was uncovered and unscrupulous. Although it was said to Zhang Huahua on the surface, everyone present knew that the true goal of the middle-aged man was still Su Hao.
Su Hao ignored this naked provocation. He looked through the documents in his hand carefully, and his brows became tighter and tighter.
This is a power of attorney issued by the Imperial Wehrmacht 44l Infantry Division. According to the above statement, the document holder can set up a charging card point in the PDGUUU3l area, with a time limit of fifty years.
Toll collection is a benefit that the empire gives to those who dare to open up actual control areas in the border areas and spend a lot of money to build road groups or individuals. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and Engineering cannot free up people to carry out similar projects in these places, and the Ministry of Finance cannot allocate funds specifically for this. The balance between the empire and the dark world is very delicate. Any official large-scale action may be discovered by the dark world and never triggered a large-scale confrontation. But if it were civil forces who operated it and limited things to a certain extent, the dark world's attention will become slight. After all, dispatching 100,000 people to build a high-level highway connecting the empire's domestic territory from the border, which is completely different from hiring more than a thousand workers to build a rough dirt road.
There has never been a "road" in the world. It is said that people walk too much and become roads, but in fact, if you want to truly make the wilderness a road for people and vehicles to travel, you must go through a series of complex projects.
Since it is a road, there are builders.
Since you are the builder, you have the right to charge and management.
The two things complement each other, are logical, and are also in line with imperial laws.
The document is indeed true. There is a special watermark on the top of the paper page, and the official code and magnetic barcode are neatly arranged along the side of the paper page. No one can imitate the double-headed Dragon Empire emblem in the center. In addition, the appendix to the document also has clear electronic document query numbers, as well as the signatures of more than a dozen units and responsible persons who recognize the legal effects of the document.
Among them, it includes the name of Brigadier General Badam, the 44th infantry soldier.
From a broad regional perspective, this road here, even Konoha Town, is under the jurisdiction of the infantry 44 Pei. However, on the electronic map officially released by the Empire, the actual jurisdiction of the 441 Infantry Division only includes areas within a radius of ten kilometers outside the territorial area.
This is the difference between the concepts of management and jurisdiction.
The so-called "management" in the interpretation of the imperial legal text refers to the nominal administrative and defensive forces of local garrisons and government agencies to supplement all towns in the surrounding area. This situation is widely used in the entire empire's border areas. Taking 44 Pei as an example, the army should provide military protection to Konoha Town when necessary to prevent it from the dark world. However, Konoha Town does not fall under the jurisdiction of 44 Pei. It is an independent civil town, and its ownership does not belong to the empire, but to the builder who developed it. It used to be Qiao Tianyu, but now it is Su Hao.
In short, from the actual regional dividing line, 44 Pei at most gives advice to Konoha Town on something, but cannot point fingers at the actual problem.
As for setting up a toll card on this road...
Su Hao's tightly pursed lips gradually loosened, revealing a cold smile with abusive intention.
He carefully put away the documents, but had no intention of returning them to the other party. Su Hao glanced at everyone standing opposite him, and his eyes finally fell on the middle-aged man who was obviously the leader.
"You are Qiao Wenhan?"
This is the name of the specific person in charge of the charging card point specified in the document. Su Hao has a good memory and has never forgotten what Qiao Tianyu said when he transferred the ownership of Konoha Town to himself. He asked very directly: "What is your relationship with Qiao Yuheng? Brother, cousin, or illegitimate son?"
As soon as he said that, everyone standing behind Su Hao burst into laughter.
Qiao Yuheng's previous actions in Konoha Town have been known by all the townsmen. No one would recognize an inexplicable guy to become the town manager. In fact, even if he has no impression of the founder of Qiao Tianyu, most of the townsmen, and there is no such thing as loyalty. After all, Qiao Tianyu is a businessman and cannot have too much time to communicate with the townsmen. In contrast, the dead mayor Wang Hu and Su Hao now are more acceptable in terms of rationality and emotion.
Therefore, no one thinks that Su Hao is wrong with that matter. On the contrary, the Qiao family is also regarded as a representative of taking the opportunity to seize property and bullying others.
Qiao Yuheng and Qiao Wenhan are two names that can easily make people associate. Even guys who are not very clear about their minds can vaguely guess the relationship between the two from their surnames.
