This game is too real.

Chapter 705 The enemy not only refuses to surrender, but even wants to play a big game
In the dark broken house.

The surrounding walls were covered with damp and mildew, and even the air seemed to be polluted.The dim candlelight only illuminated a small part of the ground, and most of the space was filled with darkness.

The environment here is like a rat hole.

The rotten and moldy smell penetrated into the tip of his nose, and Rajesh, who was tied to the chair by the hemp rope, slowly opened his eyes.

Memories before coma flooded into his mind like a flood, he struggled subconsciously, but it had no effect other than causing a creaking sound.

He raised his head, squinted his eyes, and managed to see clearly the young man standing in front of him through the dim light.

This person is none other than the boy who found him before and said that he wanted to take him to meet the boss on this street.

Now it seems……

He was probably sold.

He now only hopes that the other two teammates can be smarter and bring out the information about the bribed residents near the Governor's Mansion from here.

"How much did you sell me for?"

Ashin said calmly.

"Gifts are free."

"It seems that the alliance has given you a lot of benefits." Looking at the calm boy, Rajesh sneered, and looked around, "Where is this? Is it where you dispose of the corpses?"

Asin said with a blank face.

"my home."

Rajesh's expression froze slightly.

His first reaction was, can people live in this ghost place?

But soon, he narrowed his eyes, stared at this guy and said.

"You are a citizen of the empire."

Ashin said calmly.

"That's right, and it's the mouse you look down on the most."

"No one despises you, you despise yourself... don't you?"

Rajesh panted lightly, glanced at the rope binding his arms, then looked at the young guy, and said slowly.

"Look what you've done? While a brave werewolf was fighting for the good of the Empire, a little mouse stabbed him in the back. Nobody likes a pack of sneaky rats, but it ain't Because they are called mice, but because they are shameless, despicable, and obscene, because they only have profit in their eyes. They can send their daughters and wives to be prostitutes, and they don't have the slightest righteousness in their hearts... If it's you, would you like such a person?"

He expected a look of shame on the lad's face, or at least a little shame.

However, after listening to his words, Ah Xin just smiled coldly, and even imitated his tone, speaking slowly.

"Is that all you want to say?"

He had heard worse humiliation.

Such oblique expletives are hardly tickling.

"It's not too late for you to turn around now...Your wisdom should be used on the right path, His Majesty will forgive your momentary confusion, and you don't want to go back to reincarnation with sin and shame on your back." Rajesh still had a trace of hope in his eyes Hope, I hope this young man can find his way back.

Unfortunately.

After all, he still expected the wrong thing.

"It's too late, I've already decided what kind of beast I will be in my next life."

With a hint of sarcasm in his voice, Asin dropped the words coldly, then looked at the iron man wearing an exoskeleton behind him, and said respectfully.

"My lord, it's him... When we were demolishing the slums, he sneaked in with two people, trying to find out about you. They thought they were hiding carefully, but the meat eaters and the dirt chewers Even the air the mice exhale is different, no matter how much dust and mud they put on their faces, we can recognize them at a glance."

Yin and Yang nodded with satisfaction.

"good."

Finally seeing the exoskeleton clearly, Rajesh's face lost all color, and his trembling lips turned slightly white.

After all, he is a man with backbone, he stiffened his neck and said in a cold voice.

"...I won't say anything."

However, the "iron man" just shrugged indifferently when he heard it.

"It doesn't matter. We didn't expect to find anything from you. You are not an officer who makes a battle plan. You are just a scout at best. But it is a surprise to catch you. Our original expectation is that the locals will not It’s fine to get in the way, and I even assumed that there would be a street fight with a single transparent intelligence item, but I didn’t expect...they were so enthusiastic.”

As he said that, he looked at Xin by accident, smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Good job, he is the person we are looking for, I am very satisfied with this gift, next... can I trouble you to make him disappear? It is not very good for you if the three are alive?"

From what he said just now, it can be concluded that he did not arrest the wrong person.

The reason why he came to take a look was just to prevent this guy from catching some civilians and killing them as soldiers in order to please him.

Axin understood and nodded respectfully.

"Leave it to me."

Yin and Yang nodded with satisfaction, got up and left the room.

He began to like this little brother a little bit.

The dilapidated door was closed, watching the ray of moonlight disappearing through the crack of the door, Rajesh's face gradually showed a trace of despair.

He looked at Ah Xin who was standing at the door, his Adam's apple twitched, out of the instinct to survive, he couldn't help begging for mercy in the end.

"Don't kill me, can you spare my life..."

As if saying that was not strong enough, he swallowed and continued.

"I have five more children to raise, Jatin is about your age, Tarun is only seven, and Amy... please spare my life for their sake, I won't tell Alai about you General Yang’s, just pretend we haven’t seen it before.”

In fact, he is not afraid of death.

It's just that if he must die, he would rather die on the battlefield than in this stinky ditch, having his throat bitten off by a disgusting rat.

Xin just looked at him expressionlessly, then suddenly raised his head to look at the ceiling that seemed to fall down at any moment.

"Are they living in this ghost place like my brothers and sisters?"

Rajesh froze.

When he came back to his senses, the young man had already turned around and left the house...

At the door of the crumbling dilapidated house, a dark group of people stood, blocking the path covered with broken bricks.

Headed by the dog clansman Kunal, this group of poor people stood in a row, looking respectfully at Asin who walked out of the house following in the footsteps of the iron man.

It's like watching a king.

Asin, who was standing in front of the door, stopped for a moment, first glanced at the bare ruins around him, and then looked back at the dilapidated house with red cloth hanging behind him.

He didn't live here a few days ago, and before the gray wolf army came, he had already moved his family to Tulip Street, which was next to the port.

A Willant man who lost his money in business sold the real estate there. It was a three-story hardcover bungalow, covering an area of ​​two to three hundred square meters, but the price was only fifty double-headed cows. Or equivalent Xilan coins.

He was the only one to bid, and the total cost was just under 200 million.

And just over a week ago, it was a fantasy that a Ratman boy wanted to buy the house there with Xilan coins.

The piece of house near the governor's mansion has been demolished in sevens and eights, and even the debris has been carted away, leaving him alone.

He originally planned to demolish this place after the other houses were demolished, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that this dilapidated house was an eyesore.

too ugly.

Even a dead dog that fell into the sewer said that this is where the corpses are disposed of.

"Tear it down."

Hearing that indifferent voice, Kunal nodded respectfully.

"As ordered!"

……

Three full days have passed since the Gray Wolf Army marched to King Gallon Port.

And during these three days, all the soldiers of the Gray Wolf Army have also experienced what it means to be welcomed by the people and what the hearts of the people want.

It only took three days for the residents of the outskirts of Jingalun Harbor to welcome Master Wang to help these noble wolf warriors dig all the fortifications.

And didn't charge a penny.

A series of unfathomable trenches surrounded the port like a giant python wrapped around the entire settlement.

but--

Those survivors who received the money, the money in their hands is actually not very reliable, I am afraid that these imperial soldiers will win.

If these big soldiers suffered a little loss at the hands of the alliance, and they came back to the trenches, I'm afraid they would have to be liquidated.

Moreover, for some reason recently, the price of beans has risen sharply. Originally, five or six Xilan coins could buy a catty, but now it has risen to seven or eight.

If the price goes up like this, buying beans is not as cost-effective as buying black bread, and those who are poorer can only eat two more meals of dirt.

The suffocating breath weighed on everyone's head, except for the fun people in the settlement and the soldiers outside the settlement.

The situation was very good, but General Arayan, who was in command at the front line, couldn't help feeling a little worry in his heart.

His right-hand man, Rajesh, has been missing for five full days, and now the information in the city is a fog for him.

Although his subordinates had arrested some survivors in the suburbs for questioning, most of those people had never been to the port in their entire lives, and some of them were talking nonsense without knowing whether they had been.

It is a taboo to attack rashly without knowing the opponent. At least he needs to figure out the deployment and firepower configuration of the Rowell camp before he can decide how many troops and how much equipment to invest in the next battle.

Even if the gray wolf army is the trump card of the empire, their logistics is not unlimited.No matter how much they despise their opponents, they still have to be careful when fighting.

Besides the lack of information, what made him even more troublesome was that His Majesty couldn't wait...

At noon on the third day, an off-road vehicle painted in desert colors drove to the rear of the position.

A man in military uniform pushed open the car door and walked straight into the command post with a camouflage net hanging on it. He looked at General Arayan who was in a meeting and angrily yelled.

"General Aryan, what are you and your subordinates dawdling about!"

The people discussing matters in the account stopped talking one after another.

Aryan looked at the door in astonishment, and was about to get angry, but recognized that face was Prince Dilip, and quickly suppressed the anger that had just ignited.

In the Xilan Empire, the title of prince is only awarded to the royal family with royal blood, and his status is far beyond that of a werewolf general.

There is no doubt that there is only one possibility for His Majesty to send him here——

This guy came with the identity of a war supervisor!

Resisting the temper of rushing to the top of the sky, Alayan took a deep breath and said.

"What... dawdling for what?"

"Three days! Your troops arrived here three days ago, but they didn't fire a single shot! Are you planning to live here?" Prince Dilip stared at him and said aggressively.

Aryan explained with a headache.

"We need sufficient intelligence to formulate a battle plan. The Lowell camp has solid concrete fortifications, and there are artillery support from the alliance in the rear. It is meaningless to rashly send soldiers to remove them and increase casualties."

Prince Dilip cursed at the words.

"Information? King Gallon Port is the territory of the empire. Do you not know the way or the people there? Grab someone and ask them and you'll find out!"

Aryan looked at the Mr. Prince with a headache.

"It would be great if it was that simple... For the survivors who live in the suburbs, some say that the alliance has three-headed and six-armed monsters, and some say that they can call sea beasts. Do you think this kind of information has any reference value?"

Prince Dilip said angrily: "Then send a team of scouts in to have a look! Do you still need me to teach you how to do this kind of thing?!"

"That's tantamount to letting them go in to die! The people of the alliance are watching from the edge of the settlement, and I suspect that they bought the guards and some residents of the settlement. There is no news of the scouts I sent in before."

After a pause, Aryan stared at him seriously and continued.

"Listen, our enemies are not idiots. We can defeat them only after a well-planned attack...By the way, where are the legionaries?"

He heard that several Weilante officers had arrived in Tiandu, and they were officers who had fought against the Alliance in Luoxia Province.

If he can find those people, he can also have a more accurate understanding of the strength of the alliance.

Unfortunately, the only one standing here was the guy he least wanted to see.

Prince Dilip stared at him intently.

"Your Majesty hopes that you can solve this problem on your own. There is no need to trouble our allies with such a small matter."

Aryan's mouth twitched.

Before he could speak, Prince Dilip narrowed his eyes and looked at him like an eagle sizing up its prey.

"General Aryan, are you afraid?"

"Are you scared?" Alayan was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with a broken smile, "Are you joking? What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Then why haven't you launched an attack like the alliance so far?" Prince Dilip raised his chin slightly, "I made it clear that His Majesty sent you here to watch you crush the group of bedbugs stuck to the soles of our shoes, However, the news that was sent to Tiandu for three consecutive days was 'General Aryan is leading his gray wolves to dig trenches', are you planning to dig a canal here?"

Aryan took a deep breath.

"I will plan an attack on Rowell's camp as soon as possible...give me another day!"

Prince Dilip snorted upon hearing this.

"Camp Rowell? Your Majesty asked you to plant the flag on the roof of the Governor's Mansion! It seems that you really haven't read His Majesty's telegram properly."

General Arayan stared at him blankly, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word.

"...Have you looked at the map?"

Prince Dilip said confidently.

"Of course I've seen it. It's the alliance's defensive fulcrum in Port Jingallon. If you destroy it, your subordinates will be able to advance towards the port area and drive straight in until you send them into the sea!"

Aryan couldn't help but said.

"That's too idealistic! Even if we occupy there, there is no meaning other than starting a street battle with them near the port area too early. Why don't we take down the Rowell camp first, and force them to shrink their defense line step by step—"

"I think you are scared," Prince Dilip narrowed his eyes and stared at him. "A few grasshoppers make you cringe like this. Since you dare not attack the Governor's Mansion, just hand over the command to me. I'll go for you."

Alayan held back the anger in his chest, took a deep breath and said.

"I can give you a ten-thousand-"

"It doesn't take that many, 5000 people are enough."

Turning around and walking to the door of the tent, Prince Dilip stopped in his tracks, turned his face sideways and said lightly, "Before dark, I hope you get all the people together, otherwise I can only reasonably doubt whether you still able to take on this responsibility.”

He is not stupid.

If he is given a team of [-] people, he will be connected with the Chief Wan, and he can only pass orders to the next level through the Chief Wan, and these tricksters have ten thousand ways to perfuse him.

But it would be different if there were five teams directly under the thousand-man team.

He himself is the Master Wan!

How to beat him has the final say, there is no need to discuss with anyone!

Looking at the "unfathomable" side face, even though he felt 1 reluctance in his heart, Alayan could only bite the bullet and nod his head.

"Yes!"

……

On the next day, there was finally a new movement in the empire's position. A large army carried billowing dust across the trenches that had just been dug, and marched towards the city of King Gallon Port.

The errands squatting near the urban area saw the group of people long ago, and immediately reported the situation to the rear through the radio.

The twelve 155mm artillery deployed at the port of Jingalun Port immediately completed the adjustment of the shooting elements, and the thick and long barrels pointed to the sky.

A warrior wearing an exoskeleton walked up to the position and yelled loudly through the speaker of his helmet.

"Brothers! The wild dogs hiding outside the colony have finally crawled out of their dog holes! Give me a hard beat and let them know what happens to the guy who shouldn't be messed with!"

"fire--!"

Following an order, the fire ropes were pulled together, and orange-yellow tracers rushed towards the sky amidst the billowing dust.

That shocking scene stunned countless sailors and merchants in the port.

Before the spectators came back to their senses, the humanoid loading machines wearing exoskeletons had already finished loading the second round of shells in the dust that had not yet dissipated.

"fire!!"

Another salvo.

The roaring gun barrels were like bagpipes, raining death on the enemy positions tens of kilometers away.

Imagine.

What kind of scenery is on the battlefield in the distance...

The people on the port finally came to their senses, and cast awe-inspiring eyes at the artillery positions that continued to fire.

"...Is that the legendary 155?"

"The spirit of the sand sea is above!"

"I feel the ground trembling!"

"The emperor of the Xilan Empire must be crazy...Why are they provoking these plague gods?"

"If you want me to say that they should hurry up and pay some money to admit their mistake, if the fight continues like this, ten gray wolves might not be enough to send them away."

The sailors standing on the deck were talking about it, and some quick-thinking merchants were already thinking about going to Dawn City to place orders.

Seeing the Union artillery showing off their might there, a few Willanters said cursingly with unlucky expressions on their faces.

"What the hell, we don't only have 100mm!"

"The gang of embarrassing things from the Eastern Expansion School dare to represent us!"

"A bunch of guys who have never seen the world!"

However, no matter how much they quibble, it is true that the borders of the countries in the Luoxia Province have not moved at all. They even made a strange thing called Bicester Town on the edge of the Falcon Kingdom.

A large group of young and middle-aged men would rather stay there and work on the sewing machines than go home. The entire Falcon Kingdom is full of yin and yang. With a sigh of relief, he barely maintained the authority of the royal family.

The Falcon Kingdom that fought in that battle may have been out of breath for many years, and they don't know why the Xilan Empire went to Triumph City to show their courtesies.

The combined population of the Falcon Kingdom is not as large as that of King Gallon Port, and it can still live well with the aid of the Eastern Legion.With the size of the Borneo province, the Willant people would only recruit them if they were crazy.

perhaps--

His Majesty the Emperor really likes those big noses.

While the sailors at the port were eating melons to watch the excitement, the advance troops of the Gray Wolf Army far away on the outskirts of the King Gallen Port were in dire straits.

The artillery position in the rear launched a round of counter-fire, but there was no fire guidance.

The first corrective shot went off to the wrong place, and it was unknown whether it hit or missed when it fired indiscriminately. Instead, it attracted artillery fire from the alliance. The six 100mm howitzers were blown into a pile of scrap metal on the spot. Most of them were killed or injured, and there was a lot of wailing in the anti-blasting hole.

Prince Dilip, who had been bombarded indiscriminately, did not flinch, but was aroused blood in his chest by the roaring artillery fire.

Seeing the billowing black smoke rising in the distance and the soldiers huddled in the trenches who dared not step forward, he no longer hoped to counter the artillery fire, and shouted hoarsely while holding the walkie-talkie.

"Press me up!"

"Are you staying there to be targeted by the Alliance? There are bunkers everywhere in the city! Push me forward—!"

The hoarse voice even roared, and it could be seen that he was really trying his best to direct, but he still couldn't overwhelm the alliance's artillery.

The commander squatting in the trench ignored him, closed his eyes and counted the sound of the shells falling around him, just as if he had been deafened by the shells.

Even a pig knows that going out at this time is to be bombed. Wouldn't it be nice to move on after the bombardment is over?
Otherwise why did they dig this trench!

But having said that, these bastard engineers dug the pit deep enough... He just wanted to poke his head out and look out, I'm afraid it would be too deep.

Fortunately, Prince Dilip yelled at the back and did not dare to rush to the front line to drag the soldiers out of the trenches.

After the shelling ended, a group of people sparsely left the trench under the guidance of the whistle and continued to advance towards the city.

During this period, the Alliance's artillery shells flew in intermittently, and from time to time there were soldiers who had no time to hide in the bunker.

But after all, these people were well-trained elites, and they fell to the ground almost as soon as the gunfire rang out. For Prince Dilip, this casualty was still within an acceptable range.

But at this moment, General Alyan, who was watching from a further distance, saw this scene, but his heart was bleeding.

Although those assigned to Prince Dilip were not the elite of the Gray Wolf Army, they were also his soldiers, let alone his compatriots.

"This straw bag!"

Clenching his fists, he cursed and put down the binoculars violently.

At the same time, the four players who were squatting on the outskirts of Jingalun Harbor watched the roaring artillery fire with great enjoyment.

"Haha! Beautiful fight!"

"Our artillery brothers are getting more and more accurate."

Looking at Yin Zai who was excitedly punching, the family said with a smile.

"By the way, have you noticed that the coffin pits we sent them are still useful."

He paid more attention to those who survived than those who unfortunately died in the bombing.

The soldiers who jumped into the trenches couldn't even get their heads out. When they climbed out, they had to throw their guns up first, and then stomp hard on the wall.

Braving the roaring artillery fire, a group of people marched towards the urban area one after another in embarrassment. They didn't dare to leave too many people at a time, but they didn't dare to come too few.

They are very clear.

The long-range firepower looks scary, but not many people are actually killed. As long as the stations are not too dense, it is feasible to push forward in a group.

But if there are fewer people filling the urban area, with the individual combat capability demonstrated by the alliance in the last battle, it will be no different from giving away heads.

After dropping hundreds of corpses, five teams of one thousand people advanced into the settlement one after another, using the narrow streets and the houses on both sides of the streets as cover to move forward.

The artillery who had completed a round of firepower projection stopped firing and began to prepare for the next round of support.

When Prince Dilip saw that the alliance's artillery fire had stopped and his subordinates had advanced to the urban area outside King Gallon Port, he couldn't hold back his restlessness.

Throwing the phone to the communication soldier with the radio on his back, he looked at the captain of the pro-guard who was holding a rifle and shouted excitedly.

"Quick! Let's follow!"

The captain of the personal guard was a little hesitant, but he didn't dare to disobey the lord, so he could only bite the bullet and lead someone up to open the way.

At the same time, the four players in the city were eating melons with binoculars, curiously watching where the imperial soldiers who entered the city were going.

A few days ago, the bosses analyzed a lot on the official website, and they seemed to be sure that General Arayan would definitely use the Lowell camp as the main direction of attack, and one and two said it clearly and logically.

As a result, they stood here and watched for a long time, but they didn't see those people walking in the direction of Rowell's camp, but they walked further and further away.

"...It seems to be in the direction of the Governor's Mansion." The family man turned his head to look at the errand, and said with a playful smile, "Captain, your prediction failed!"

Apparently aware of this, Yin Cha still stared at it for a long time without giving up.

It wasn't until the group of people completely disappeared from sight that he put down the binoculars in his hand and widened his eyes.

"Damn... are they crazy?"

The family said with a smile.

"Good guy, I seem to be doing some meritorious service as the director of the demolition office."

A budget of 9000 million only cost 600 million. A handful of banknotes was thrown down to demolish the houses near the Governor's Mansion. There was no shelter in the vacuum zone of nearly [-] meters, and the ground was full of rotten bricks that could not be dug. A machine gun You can give them a hard fight, without armor and artillery, it's really a fight with the head!

Half a year old was scratching the back of his head, unable to figure it out.

"It's so unscientific."

Instead of attacking such an important strategic goal as the Rowell Camp, go directly to the Governor's Mansion near the port city.

What the hell is this picture?

There are nearly five thousand-man teams, this is no longer a feint.

Stepping up to the sky in one step also nodded his head in bewilderment.

"+1."

The family urged.

"Don't add 1, hurry up and follow."

The governor's mansion is their position, not because they are worried about accidents to the friendly troops there, but mainly because they are afraid that they will not even have a mouthful of soup if they go late.

Half a year old looked at Yin Cha, and pointed to his feet.

"What about here?"

After pondering for a while, Yincha turned on the VM screen to report the situation here, and then looked at the three teammates.

"Let's leave it to Brother Killing Dagger and them to watch... By the way, leave the camera for them, and leave one of the drones."

At the same time, Fang Chang and Lao Bai, who were far away in the port area of ​​Jingalun Port, also received news from the front line about the movement of the Gray Wolf Army.

Looking at the speechless Fang Chang, Lao Bai laughed and teased.

"It seems that our opponent didn't play according to the routine this time."

Fang Chang made a helpless expression.

"I actually hate playing against this kind of opponent. You can never use the logic of normal people to analyze what they will do next."

It was as if he hadn't figured out until now, who gave these guys the courage to fight unannounced, and pretended to be smart enough to do things without anyone noticing, but in the end he was beaten up and couldn't afford to lose, so he decided to Turn the table and bet big.

Of course, this also played into his arms.

If the emperor of the Xilan Empire formally admits his mistakes to the Alliance through diplomatic channels, the administrator will most likely approve a settlement agreement based on compensation and apology, and in that case the Burning Corps can only go to the end and end it hastily This time, he fought back in self-defense and returned to Chip Harbor with the compensation.

After all, it was mentioned in the telegram sent by the managers before that they were asked to "not take the initiative to escalate the military conflict."

But now, things are completely different.

Since the other party took the initiative to escalate the situation, they don't have to hold back anymore.

If the "emperor" thought that the most powerful firepower of the Burning Corps was only a few 88mm mortars, he was very wrong.

Twelve 155mm guns have been deployed in port.

In addition, there are six giant crabs with a height of four meters, which also landed in Jingalun Port along the pier.

Six thick legs carry a thick curved steel shell, two 20mm machine guns hang above the two pincers, and the thick and long ammunition chains are poured into the turntable ammunition racks on the two wings of the thick carapace along the wrist joints. The cockpit is located in the center of the carapace.

Standing on the port, they are like monsters with teeth and claws. The black metal shell emits a penetrating cold light in the sun.

This new weapon is code-named "King Crab", and its full name is DWX-1 "King Crab" amphibious all-terrain infantry armor.

Whether it is in terms of shape or mechanical structure, this thing is carved out of the same mold as the "crab" engineering armor that was installed by the submarine construction team of Chip Harbor some time ago.

And it is.

This infantry armor called "King Crab" is a military model designed based on the "crab" engineering armor.

The driver needs to enter from the crab's buttocks, ride a motorcycle, and can freely switch between joystick control and neural connection manipulation.

The battlefield positioning of this equipment is a general-purpose equipment designed for complex terrain, underwater operations, and beach landing combat environments. It also undertakes the function of carrying out armed transport tasks under road-free conditions.

Originally, two bolt guns with grenade launchers were welded on the crab claws. Considering that there are no targets that need bolt guns to deal with in Jingalon Port, they were replaced with 20mm cannons.

Like the "Crab" type engineering armor, this thing cannot be mass-produced for the time being. The core power components, transmission structure, frame and other components must be completed through the processing center on the B404 floor of Shelter 7, and then sent to the Liming City Industrial Zone for secondary production. processing.

It is precisely because of this that the cost price of this thing even surpasses the "self-subsidized" Xiaguang Power Armor, reaching 200 million silver coins!
If it wasn't for "robbing the bank" to make a fortune, if it wasn't for preparing for the future war with the torch, they would really be reluctant to spend money on this thing.

Looking at the six "King Crab" armors ready to go, Fang Chang's mouth could not help but curl up into a malicious smile.

"Since they don't want to negotiate with us..."

"Then help us test the new equipment."
