Doomsday rat

Page 306

Everyone is suffering now, why don't you spend your energy on how to live, and have to think about how to die.Yes, I know that some people have only one life left in their bodies, and they don't care much about whether the people who live all day are ghosts or ghosts.

In fact, it is wrong to think this way. As long as people are alive, they have a chance to turn the tables, but when they die, they have no chance at all.Can you listen to my advice and withdraw people first, everyone finally has a market where they can make a living, and then smash it, how do you plan to live in the future?

Don't plan to go hunting, raising sheep, herding horses, or becoming a gold digger in the mountains and forests because it is not easy to live here.That is the old almanac, which has been turned over.There are neither forests nor pastures here in the alliance, nor are they allowed to enter the red zone casually to find living supplies.

...Can you save face, come on, you guys of the rebel army withdraw first, I just had a drink with the leader of Sabalin and Commander Zhang Weiping two days ago, so I won't turn around and hurt you!

Come on, who can show the way, my house is on the fourth floor, help me get things up.Not in vain, I have good wine here, light a fire here at night, if you have dried fruit, get some dried fruit, if you have dried meat, get some dried meat, if you have nothing, bring your brain, let’s chat together, talk about what to do in the future Pass.

You should also come here. Bishop Sun...uh, Zhao Bin and I met once. If he was present, he would definitely attend.But there is one thing I have to say first, there is not so much wine, not enough for everyone to drink, just find someone who can talk, I can't afford too much!

You three don't hurry back to the team, just stand here waiting to be stabbed!Come and come, come and go, don't delay people's business.No one has any surplus food, if you don’t keep it all, you will starve at night, so let’s accumulate some virtues! "

Judge?This is Hong Tao's favorite thing to do. If there is a reason or not, as long as he is asked to comment, in the end, no one will respond, because the reason is all on his side.And as long as it enters the stage of judging, martial fighting becomes literary fighting, no longer relying on numbers and strength, but relying on words.This is what Hong Tao is best at, no matter how reasonable he is!

"Boom...Boom..." With this big shit-stirring stick, the Rebels and the Redeemers lost their emotions whether they listened to it or not. As long as one side is willing to retreat first, This large-scale weapon fight that was on the verge of breaking out disappeared in smoke.

But people are not as good as heaven, and as soon as the people on both sides had a tendency to retreat, there were waves of tremors on the ground, and then the roar of the engine was heard.A group of armored vehicles came along the east road. There were three red slashes on the black body, and reinforcements from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came!

"It's such a coincidence that you don't show up when you have something to do, and you show up as soon as the thing is over!" The scattered crowd stopped and watched the armored vehicle slowly approaching. Some people clenched their sticks again.

Hong Tao could only look up to the sky and sigh, and stepped forward to meet him.Policemen in the old world basically possessed this skill, and Lin Na, who was not a policeman, would have mastered it so quickly.

Facts have proved that no matter how tough their character is, most people are still scared when they see armored vehicles and heavily armed police from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The local refugees who had been blocking the east side of the intersection were the first to break up. They didn't want any stalls or goods, and the most important thing was to save their lives.Even the crowd with the Rebels and the Redeemers began to flow in the northwest and southeast directions, from the small steps at the beginning to the big strides.

In addition, there was a group of people who were moving in the direction of the armored vehicle, and they also used running, which was quite fast.Hong Tao counted, a total of 14 people!What a shame, the Ministry of Internal Affairs alone has sent so many plainclothes officers, it's hard to say if there are any eyeliners from other departments around.

"Stop...don't drive forward. I didn't see the stalls all over the street. Who will pay for the damage?" The leading armored vehicle only stopped for a few tens of seconds. After listening to the plainclothes report, it continued to drive towards the cross road. Mouth advance.

Hong Tao could only stand in the middle of the road, open his arms, and compete with the noise of the engine with his voice.At the same time, I secretly prayed in my heart that the driver must not be deaf. If the brakes were delayed, the founder of the alliance and hero Yu Luo would become a victim of a traffic accident.

"Brother Hong...can't you just sit down for a few days and let us rest too?" The armored vehicle stopped, and it was still five or six meters away from Hong Tao.When the top cover was opened, a petite figure emerged, with fluttering long hair and a double chin, but the voice was still so alluring.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Do you think I want to make a fuss? They're just watching. You'll understand if you ask." Hong Tao didn't expect Lin Na to go out in person, but it's better if she comes, it's better than not getting along It is convenient to communicate with people you know.

Lin Na climbed out of the hatch with an inelegant posture, then lowered her head and reached out to take out a large black handbag from inside.Seeing that no one was going up to help her, Hong Tao had no choice but to go over and help her get off the armored vehicle.

"The first half is indeed okay, but the second half is...here, this is from Jiao Qiao!" The large bag was opened, and there were two wooden boxes containing cigars inside.

"...When did you change to being an executioner?" Hong Tao was not polite, he opened the box and took one in his mouth, without igniting it, his brows were raised.

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs is not a firing squad, but it's not a soft persimmon either. Whoever wants to pinch it... Don't worry, Lao Jiao and Zhang Ke only have these." Lin Na looked behind, and the dozen or so plainclothes officers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs Immediately spread out as if telepathically, away from the middle of the road.

Chapter 938

"What do you mean?"

Hong Tao still had his cigar in his mouth and did not light it, but his brows were wrinkled.Cigars in the handbag, but the servings vary widely, too heavy.When I first picked up the cigars, there was only the top layer in the cigarette box, and the bottom layer was filled with yellow-orange pistol bullets, which looked like .45 Luger bullets.

Jiao Qiao and Zhang Ke sent bullets to him together, and they were so targeted. He must have known about the H45 pistol that Buyakov sent.But that's not the point. Sending bullets is definitely not for me to practice marksmanship, and there must be other meanings.

"You'd better go...Where do you want to go. Since you have no plan to return, why bother to be humiliated by them again." Lin Na kicked the bag on the ground, her face full of shame.

"Have a conclusion?" Hearing these words, Hong Tao's brows relaxed a little, but the lighter was still spinning in his hand, and he had no intention of lighting it.

"I just left the venue. The government is almost settled, and the council probably won't take too long. Let's go. When they humiliate you, they are also humiliating the royalists. Can't you see it?"

At the government work meeting this morning, various departments made a final vote on whether to agree with the council's resolution.Lin Na and Jiao Qiao, as the backbone of the neutral faction, both abstained from voting, but some of the neutral faction and the fence-sitting faction, after learning of Hong Tao's attitude, took advantage of the wind and voted for the reformist faction.

As a result, the reformists won by an overwhelming advantage, and the next step is to wait for the council to vote. Presumably, the result will not be unexpected.Now it's time to enter the trial stage of the case. If Hong Tao is really put in the dock, then the royalists will be slapped in the face.

Although Lin Na doesn't know whether it is the reformist's idea or the royalist's insistence that is more beneficial to the future development of the alliance, but she really doesn't want to see the former leader become the defendant. The humiliation of the Renaissance Alliance.

Instead of doing this, it is better to let Hong Tao leave, no matter where he goes, it is worse than staying here.Even if it is a council position, so what, in the council, with Chu Qiu and Gao Tianyi in charge, no one can turn the world upside down.

"I have accepted the gift, and the road will definitely not run away. To say the least, this alliance was established by myself. Even if I can't control it, I can't just ignore it."

Hong Tao picked up the bag and grinned as a thank you.But he didn't appreciate it, and he firmly didn't want to be a deserter again, so he spoke very impassionedly.Changing the background, such as adding a gallows or a guillotine, is really like a heroic speech before a heroic death.

"I knew why I had to do it today. Didn't you run once in the past!" Lin Na was annoyed by this kind of person who was shameless and had to speak out loudly. He couldn't gain weight even after saying a few bold words, but outsiders were okay with it, and they could use it with acquaintances Is that so!

"Last time I ran away because I was afraid that everyone would fight because of eating or not eating Tang monk meat. I didn't run this time because I didn't want to see you guys completely split up because of arguing about who was right and who was wrong." Be like a savior.

"...What are you going to do to stop it? I know that Ping An Transportation Company may have played a double act with you, and Sabalin and Zhang Weiping may have given you some promises because of that little girl.

But this is not a Xinjiang province, and the East Asian Alliance is not a savior. It is basically impossible to rely on these people to make a comeback. On the contrary, it will make them useless as cannon fodder.If you really want to make a comeback, you might as well go to the Southwest League.

Although the Southeast Alliance has a larger population, most of them are engaged in agriculture, and the folk customs are not strong enough.On the contrary, the Southwest Alliance has stronger fighting power. Over the years, it has absorbed many small-scale survivor organizations from Southeast Asia and obtained a lot of weapons and equipment.

As long as there is a sensible leader who manages patiently for a few years and can take the initiative to attack when the Southeast Alliance is attacked, the two parties may really have the possibility of winning together, and in the end they will lose both sides.

Aren't you the best at making alliances with people like this? Go ahead, if you want information, someone will be willing to tell you all.There are also intelligence officers from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who can provide necessary support. It will not be difficult for you to gain a firm foothold in a short period of time. "

Lin Na only wanted to persuade Hong Tao to leave, for no other reason than to embarrass Jiao Qiao.As for these favorable conditions, they are definitely not fooling around. If Zhou Yuan were to talk about them, there would probably be more.Whatever the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has, Hong Tao can get.

"When I was in Xinyang, if Zhou Yuan didn't recognize me, she would just run away. Now that I have come back publicly and met many acquaintances, I want to run away like a skin and a face. I can't run anymore, I want face too!

As for the matter of the trial, I don't think it's very embarrassing.I don't know the reason, whether I am a murderer, a coward, or whether the alliance has gone astray these years, I can just make it clear in court.I will bear the responsibility that should be mine, and the responsibility that should not be mine, don't try to plant blame on me indiscriminately! "

But what Hong Tao said was more logical. If he wanted to run away, why didn't he run away? Even if Zhou Yuan recognized him, he could still run away on the destroyer.No matter Takahashi or Hotan, there is still a feeling of opening and closing eyes and pretending not to see that they are escaping in the lifeboat.

"I said, are you stupid for eating mutton? How can you make it clear in court that the case of the German Embassy and Ohai Farm has solid evidence, and you can't escape the case of Jinmen Port even if there is no evidence.

The court is a stage for everyone to see that you have no choice but to bow your head.Even without Chu Qiu and Gao Tianyi, there are not a few people who hate you among the directors there. Can they acquit you? "

Lin Na was already a little annoyed and laughed, she really didn't understand what was going on in Hong Tao's mind, and seriously doubted whether this man's normal thinking had been affected by a severe head injury, and what he did after he came back Weidu is the same as the second idiot, completely without the treachery and cunning of the past.

"You don't have to worry about this. I only have one request. When you need to maintain the rules of the league, you can stand firmly on the side of the rules. I have also said this to Ran Di, Lu Yejiangnan, and Zhou Yuan. Now the trouble Please convey it to Jiao Qiao.

Today is my housewarming celebration, do you want to go up and see my new home?Well, I know you're not in the mood, so I'm not being polite, but I have to go up and see...

Oh yes, let me tell Zhou Yuan that this navy uniform is pretty good, but it’s a little hot to wear at this time, so get me two navy summer suits and save them for the court session.I came back by myself, not captured by you as a prisoner. The necessary appearance must be maintained! "

Just like when receiving Ran Di and Lu Yejiangnan, Hong Tao didn't intend to talk about his plan, but just made a request that sounded reasonable, but was particularly weird. A string of armored vehicles at the front were all left behind.

"You guys stay here and tell Wang Jian that if you make such a mistake again, you can prepare to receive the uniform of the security team! Boom, boom, boom...turn around and go back!"

Lin Na wanted to say something more, but she opened her mouth and closed it again looking at the figure from behind.Turning around and climbing onto the armored vehicle, holding on to the anti-aircraft machine gun for a long time, he finally gave up the urge to beat that guy into a sieve.

But he couldn't swallow the pent up breath in his heart. He turned his head and saw the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in charge of monitoring and protection. He raised his eyebrows and scolded him. Before his subordinates could express anything, he got into the armored vehicle and walked away.

The armored vehicle left, and the prying figure appeared in the already empty market soon, and the vendors came out of the hiding buildings one after another, their eyes full of disbelief.

Today is really an eye-opener. The rebels and the Redeemer immigrants, who have always been incompatible with each other, were actually settled by a few words from an old Han man.This is not a big deal, the armored convoy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was blocked by him alone in the east of the intersection, without firing a single bullet, without catching anyone, and left in a desperate manner.

While arranging their goods, the refugees asked each other who the man was, what he did, why he came here, and what he planned to do. There were different opinions for a while, which was more enjoyable than watching a fight.

Chapter 939

"Benzhu, Huzi, didn't I look great just now?" At this time, Hong Tao had driven the carriage to the east side of the traffic hub building, and casually called a resident who was poking around, asked him to help feed the horse, and then took the lead in lifting two big bags He walked towards the door of the building, showing off to the two silent subordinates as he walked.

"It's so awesome. When the armored vehicle from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came, my calf was twisted. The barrel of the machine gun and the arm were thick! Brother Shu, you have some face... the pretty girl in black is the minister, right?"

Bumblebee kept a dark face and didn't say a word, he just looked simple and honest on the outside, but actually he had a lot of brains.Through the two incidents just now, I already have some ideas in my heart, knowing that this move is not for the elderly, and it may be more dangerous than running a long distance.

Shen Wansan was the real fool, with nothing but blood boiling in his head, carrying his bedroll and chasing after Hong Tao, his black face turned red with excitement.In his opinion, there is no danger at all in this trip, as long as you follow the boss closely, anyone who comes in front has to give way obediently.

"That's necessary. If I hadn't saved it back then...Damn it, is this a place where people live? It's not afraid of fire! Stop, stop, put things back in the car, I really can't bear it !"

In fact, most of the time, people like Shen Wansan are more pleasing, at least they can make people feel happy.Just as Hong Tao wanted to make it bigger, he stopped abruptly, stood at the position where he had just entered the building door, looked left and right, shrugged his nose and gritted his teeth, finally did not go in, and backed away again. out.

It’s dark in the corridors... Actually, it’s normal. Even if the East Asian Alliance has its own power plant, which can provide relatively stable electricity, it’s impossible to waste it all in the refugee settlements. Not only are there no lights in the corridors during the day, but there are also no lights at night.

But it's not right to smell the stinky and stinky smell.A hundred and ten meters downstairs is not only a row of brand-new dry toilets, but twice a day, morning and evening, there must also be refugees pushing manure trucks to collect manure from house to house, free of charge.

They will collect the manure to fertilize it, and then sell it to farmers in the safe area in the north of the city.Even though the work is inconspicuous and dirty, the income is not low, and the most important thing is stability.Anyone can not buy things, but who can not eat?As long as you eat, you have to eat, it's only right and proper!

Taking a closer look inside the corridor, the originally wide passageway has been piled up with all kinds of debris, even the windows are blocked, leaving only a gap in the middle where the two barely pass each other.

Hong Tao could tolerate a poor environment, such as sleeping in the open, or even sleeping in the ruins of a building wrapped in a leather jacket, but he really couldn't tolerate mess and danger anytime and anywhere.

If there is a child who hates it as much as I did when I was a child, if there is a little flame, there will be nothing left for the hundreds of people in the building, and they will all become barbecues.Especially the residents living on the fourth floor have no place to run except jumping off the building, such as themselves!

"Crack... boom, boom, boom..." What should I do?Hong Tao had a way, drove the carriage to the middle of the small concave square, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and fired three shots at the sky.

Pistols are not very loud, even a .45 caliber pistol is not much louder than a smashing gun.But this small square is surrounded by four-story buildings on three sides, which plays a role in sound amplification. Not only the people living in the building can hear it, but even the people who set up stalls at the intersection can hear it.

"My name is Hong Tao, and I'm also Yu Luo. Some people may know me, and some people don't. Whether they know me or not, they should know me by now. Whoever is in charge here will come down immediately, and discuss things... 5 minutes, just wait 5 minutes, If no one comes down, I will set fire to this building and never come down again!"

After firing the gun, Hong Tao was still standing on the carriage showing off his might, with his hips crossed and his horn on his throat, screaming. While shouting, he reached out and took out a round thing from his pocket and held it in his hand. According to the photo, it was a grenade!

"This is not a hillside prairie pasture, this is a building. Are you not afraid of fire or illness when you live like this? If you are not afraid, then there is no need to set up a stall to do business and make money. Death from burning or illness is no more comfortable than dying from starvation!

They're new here and don't know the rules, but you're from the old safe zone, don't you know these too?Quickly organize people to clean up the corridors, and put them in the basement if you really don't want to throw them away. "

This trick worked quite well, and three men came out of the building door after a while, followed by five or six figures.But not all of them came over, only three men approached the carriage, and before they opened their mouths to introduce themselves, they were slammed.

"Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong, please calm down. I am Tao Wei, a family member of Feihu Construction Company. Thanks to Brother Feihu's attention, I have been arranged to take up some small responsibilities." The two immigration leaders from Xinjiang and the province may not have figured out the situation, The reaction was a little slow, and the middle-aged man who was a little bald was quite smooth, and he gave his name while taking out a cigarette.

"Sun Feihu has to listen to me when he comes. If you are worried, you can send someone to ask immediately. The same goes for you two. Sabalin calls me uncle, and Zhang Weiping calls me elder brother. You can also ask. I will wait here Come on, one hour is enough!"

Hong Tao was still holding the cigar just now in his hand, and he happened to light it right now.Now he doesn't want to pretend to be a grandson at all, and he has to make up for all the grandsons he pretended to be before, making him like an invisible big brother in the safe zone.

"That's for sure, that's for sure, Brother Feihu said before you came, let us take care of it carefully. It's just... the things in the corridor are mostly materials found by merchants. They are going to fix the stalls and turn them into sheds. In this way, the wind and rain will not be afraid.

The basement floor has been occupied by handicraft workshops, and the second floor is too damp and waterlogged, so it can't be used for the time being.You see, if this works, I'll find someone to clean the corridor first, and move out some things that are not afraid of the tide, so as to make room for people. "

Tao Wei obviously knew who Hong Tao was, and he didn't want to ask Feihu Sun, but he didn't want to make room, so he just gave him an ambiguous plan.How much space can be vacated is not sure, but it is basically muddy.

"Building a shed is a good thing, why not build it, is it possible that building a house also pays attention to the almanac?"

Hong Tao understood, and then became confused again.Most of the booths at the crossroads are temporary, or simply use a few boards and a few pieces of tarpaulin as a roof, and they will all be blown down when there is a strong wind.Since the business here is good, it is also appropriate to fix the booth.

But why not prepare the building materials? It's not the rainy season yet, so it's just the right time for construction.Could it be that there are special customs and habits among the immigrants of the rebel army, and they can't do civil engineering work lightly before the time?

"No, it's the Redeemer who won't let us...they take up a lot of space, and we suffer!" Seeing Hong Tao turned his eyes to his side, one of the two Wei men finally spoke. His Chinese is not very fluent, but he can understand.

"...You are also because of this reason?"

"Hehe... If they don't make it clear, we can only follow suit. In fact, the best way is for the three parties to sit together and talk face to face. We mentioned it a few times, but neither of them replied. "

Tao Wei grinned and explained the actual situation in detail.He is also helpless in this matter, the two sides are feuds, even if there are many local refugees, he is not willing to intervene easily.

"How many people are in charge of the Redeemer's side? What's their last name?" Even though it's just a small matter of piling up debris in the corridor, it still goes around the hatred between the Rebels and the Redeemer.

Hong Tao now has no place to hide if he wants to hide, so he must endure it or come forward.For his own safety and living comfort, he can only choose the latter, even if it will cause big trouble.The people of the Redeemer will definitely not be as talkative as the rebels, and they will lose face, and they may have hatred, but they have to bite the bullet and try.

"Jiang Yang... so badly, he killed many of us!" Speaking of the immigrant leader of the Redeemer, the two men of the Wei nationality were a little emotional, and their Chinese was even more stuttering, and their ethnicity was mixed in during the process language.

"Yo, so it's him..." Hong Tao was stunned when he heard the name, he must have heard of it.This Jiang Yang is the nominal president of the Ascetic Society, and the great nun Anna is Sun Dacheng's right-hand man.

Chapter 940 Barbecue at the Intersection

Ordinarily, based on his status and relationship, he should have followed Sun Dacheng to serve as a director of the Alliance Council. Why did he stay in the safe zone and become the underground leader of the Redeemer immigrants.

If Jiang Yang and Sun Dacheng had a falling out, 99% of them would not survive to leave Xinjiang. This is Sun Dacheng's character.Even if Fu Daming is alive and well, he should not continue to be the leader of the Redeemer immigrants.

These people are Sun Dacheng's foundation and last resort, if he is fooled away by others, he won't even be able to be a rubber stamp in the future.The person who can continue to control the immigration of the Redeemer must be Sun Dacheng's cronies.

It seems that I still underestimated Sun Dacheng, this guy is not a homeless dog who dislikes dogs, he is also supported by people around him, and he is willing to give up some of his personal interests.

"Tao Wei, can you make an appointment with Jiang Yang, just say that I have moved to a new house, and treat him to a barbecue at night." Facing such a person, Hong Tao was really not sure that he could rush in to meet him, so he could only take a more cautious approach. Test the other person's attitude first.

"Uh... an appointment is fine, but I don't know where you plan to treat guests. I have met Chairman Jiang a few times. He is relatively calm and doesn't like to show his face. It would be embarrassing if he came here."

Tao Wei was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. It wasn't that he couldn't see people. In the New Seventh District, the number of local refugees was the largest.But it seems a bit too big to let the big bosses of the family go to the hostile forces' lair to eat barbecue.

"Well... it's in the middle of the intersection, please find a few people to help surround an open space with things, no more than ten people, a few tables and chairs are enough."

Hong Tao also felt that he didn't have such a big face. After thinking about it, he might as well not go to the entertainment city on the third ring road. People who are so far away may not be happy. It's the most fair to be right at the door of the house without relying on both sides.

"That's no problem, I'll go and arrange it right away...Do you need to arrange the mutton and wine together? I know the herdsmen who come here to sell meat in the safety zone in the north of the city, and I guarantee it's real!" I agreed, and before leaving, I added a word, planning to contract the materials for the barbecue at night.

"Next time... don't think too much about it. Both parties are not at ease in this gathering. If there is a problem with eating and drinking, it will be difficult for you to explain. I have helpers here, and no one will think it is wrong for them to purchase wine and meat. Tell Chairman Jiang about this, and let him rest assured that no one dares to mess around with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

It is natural for someone to help with the preparations, even if it costs a little more money, as long as it saves my own affairs, it is a good way.But after thinking about it, he rejected the proposal again.He pointed to the plainclothes men of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who had already revealed their identities standing not far away, and indicated that it would be most appropriate for them to go shopping.

"... High, really high! Don't worry, if President Jiang doesn't give face, I can't justify it from me. In fact, there is so much hatred. In the future, everyone will hang out together, and supporting each other is the last word. You say yes no?"

Tao Wei turned his head to look, and immediately understood what Hong Tao meant, and quickly stretched out two thumbs to praise him endlessly.At the same time, I didn't forget to pay for what is reported. Since Hong Tao is so righteous and doesn't want to make himself responsible, then we can't slack our shoulders and work hard!

Will the plainclothes Ministry of Internal Affairs help Hong Tao as a buyer?It might not be easy if it was an hour earlier, but now I have to agree quickly, and two people trot away immediately without even taking the money.

Minister Lin had already been here, and had a cordial conversation with this man for a long time. Although no one dared to go over to eavesdrop, it could be seen from the expressions that the two really had a friendship, not just rumors.

In addition, if this person hadn't come forward to say that he made peace with the two conflicting parties just now, if there was a real fight, the three plainclothes members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be the first to bear the brunt.No matter whether someone will come forward to take responsibility afterwards, and no matter how many people will be sentenced or shot, they will not recover immediately after being stabbed.

"Here, take it, here are the bullets. Remember, you are not allowed to draw a gun as long as no one strikes first. If someone strikes first, I am not allowed to shoot as long as I am not very dangerous. But as long as you shoot, don't be soft. Kill everyone present, whoever has the highest status will get killed first!"

After arranging the evening meeting, Hong Tao still didn't go upstairs.He had made up his mind that if the corridor was not cleaned up, he would not live in it for a day, and he would rather sleep in the carriage as a barbecue.But for the Hongmen Banquet at night, safety issues have to be taken into account, and if it really turns over, there must be a plan.
