Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 431 431 Why Refuse
"Why do you refuse? Single soldiers can get married at any time if they want to!" Taige, who had just arrived at Dongwan Island with the boat, looked at the head of the 1st regiment in a daze, and asked in puzzlement.

"...This..." The head of the 1st regiment scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, most soldiers, especially non-commissioned officers and officers, don't like it..."

"Then there are still soldiers?" Tiger threw the glove to the adjutant beside him, and wiped the corner of his mouth.

He just got off the transport ship, and he just vomited out his breakfast on the pier. Now he still has some discomfort in his stomach, his face is pale and he feels uncomfortable.

It wasn't just him, the troops of the 3rd Regiment also vomited, and the leader of the 3rd Regiment almost threw up his stomach.

This may be the first time these landlubbers have sailed at sea in their lives, and the follow-up transport ship they took, the Liberty Ship, has not undergone some basic modifications.

To be honest, these free ships are used to transport goods, and it is really very difficult to transport people.As a result, these landlubbers had to endure various problems on the boat, and the journey along the way was much worse than that of a group.

After all, in order to ensure the combat capability of the 1st regiment, the first batch of Liberty Ships carrying the landing troops had more or less been modified.

In order to save construction time, even the anti-sinking design of the ship cut corners, only God knows what the living conditions will be like.

Tiger rubbed his uncomfortable stomach, and then continued to speak: "If someone is willing to marry, the group can subsidize some funds, and can also share more food and daily necessities. If you have a child, the reward will be even more... ..."

He has experience in developing Long Island, and he knows that what Datang Group lacks most is population.So without even thinking about it, he brought out the way he used to deal with the development of Long Island.

"Yes! I understand." The head of the 1st regiment stood at attention and saluted, then pointed to the car waiting in the distance: "That is the car prepared for you, you can use it first, and you can wait until your special car is unloaded. replace……"

"Is there any water? The kind that doesn't smell like engine oil." After drinking fresh water with a strange smell for several days, Tiger looked at the head of the 1st regiment, showing no signs of being polite.

The head of regiment 1 smiled and waved to the soldier next to him, asked for the soldier's water bottle, and handed it to Tiger.

Tiger took the jug, drank it down without a drop, and then sighed happily: "Comfortable!"

After drinking the water, he returned the kettle to the head of the 1st regiment, then pointed to Dongwan Port not far away, which looked similar to a small county town, and said: "It doesn't look big, let's take a walk...you can also introduce , after all, you came so many days early, you can't come in vain, right?"

As his territory gradually expanded, Tang Mo found that there were still too few people he could trust. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in the new occupied area, and he had to arrange for a trustworthy commander to manage it.

Tiger is his most trusted military general, after all, the character of this commander is really trustworthy.Roger continued to stay on Long Island to guard the rear, and Redman and Harry sat in Burners to stabilize the basic situation... Tang Mo really didn't have many people who could use it.

"Dongwan Port has always been a naval base operated by Zheng Guo. There is a complete dock for repairing warships and supporting shipyards... However, for us, these facilities are actually useless. Apart from repairing sails and wooden boats Besides, they are useless." Pointing to the dock not far away, the head of the 1st regiment introduced with ease.

Then, he pointed to the other side: "After the mirage people came, they built a coal yard here to store coal...it saved us some time..."

"The people over there ... are from the Railway Bureau?" Tiger saw a few people measuring something with equipment from a distance, and asked the head of the 1st group.

"Well, our military surveying and mapping personnel just left yesterday, and today the people from the railway bureau are taking measurements..." Regiment 1 replied with some emotion.

Their speed is really fast, and all departments are operating like crazy—Datang Group is in a rising period, and everyone can see that Tang Mo is expanding his territory. What are you waiting for?
Corruption, laziness and depravity are all stupid behaviors of fools. Now as long as you work hard, the money you get will be clean. Isn't it sick to think about crooked ways?

"It's really fast." Even Tiger couldn't help but sighed, and then he continued to lead the people forward, passing the busy dock that was unloading, and gradually walked into Dongwan City.

The Datang Group moved much faster than Mirage. In order to quickly build the advance base, various departments have already started follow-up construction plans.

Outside Dongwan City, next to a section of the city wall that was bombarded by cannonballs, the construction of a brick kiln factory had already begun, and on the other side of it, a larger ironworks factory had also become a construction site.

Not strong, short and ugly goblins are busy, some are transporting the stones on the ground, some are already digging the foundation, and some are using the city wall waste to build the factory wall.

Some of the local civilians were selected to be supervisors, while others were doing relatively easy jobs. Humans and goblins were mixed together, and the scene looked a bit weird.

It's like a group of adults busy on the construction site with a group of child laborers, which is very interesting.

In fact, more goblins have already been transported to the mine to replace the Zheng Guo laborers over there.Most of the laborers of the state of Zheng were former soldiers of the state of Zheng.

After they became captives, those who were not killed were gathered together and guarded to become miners, busy in the mines.

Now, some of these people have been selected and become foremen, who in turn supervise the work of the goblins, and the other part are directly requisitioned as workers, distributed more food and supplies, and directly transferred to construction teams.

Already frightened by the mirage people, the Zheng Guo captive who lost his temper obediently accepted the reality, and soon enjoyed it.

Because even when they were soldiers a year ago, their food and clothing might not be as decent as they are now, so it took them only one day to change their identities and become hardworking Datang Group construction workers.

After going back and forth, everyone found that there were two captives, which relieved the pressure of labor shortage at once—humans helped in the city and the countryside, and goblins went to the mine to redeem their sins. The scene was harmonious and harmonious, and everything seemed to resume operation at the fastest speed.

"We requisitioned the Governor's Mansion in Mirage, set up a temporary generator there, set up a radio antenna, and connected a telephone line so that we can directly connect to the port..." The head of the 1st regiment briefly introduced the early stage along the street. layout.

As he spoke, he pointed to the distance again: "The former barracks of Zheng State are still there, and the mirage people still use it, and we haven't changed it... But the conditions are really bad. It was originally designed for 1500 people to be stationed, but now it is The 3rd Battalion was stationed. Even so, there were soldiers complaining."

Tiger nodded. The specifications of the barracks of the Datang Group are actually very scientific. Compared with the barracks of other countries, the specifications must be higher.

This is not pampering, but a kind of respect for soldiers.If soldiers are raised like pigs, how can they be expected to risk their lives?

"The road conditions here are average, and the cars are very bumpy." Walking on a dirt road, a patrolling group of soldiers saluted the 1st Regiment Commander and Tiger.

They didn't stop. This is also the rule of the Datang Group. This is the etiquette in the process of performing tasks.

On the contrary, Tiger and the head of the 1st regiment stood still and solemnly returned the salute, because they were in a state of no mission at this moment.Rules are rules, and everyone is used to it.

After the soldiers passed, Tiger continued on.He saw that at the end of the street, the police station had been registered, and even some locals were queuing up outside the police station.

"They are retrieving their houses... The war has vacated a lot of houses here, and we estimate that about one-third of them. We will expropriate some of them, and distribute the other part to the aborigines who lost their houses and land..." 1 The head of the group introduced: "There are many civil disputes, this is not under our control, let the city hall cry."

"Hahaha!" Tiger grinned, as if he had seen the grievances of the young officials in the city hall.

On the side of the road, a row of construction vehicles parked neatly, surrounded by people from the engineering team, pointing at a blueprint. There are busy scenes everywhere, just like a large natural construction site.

Next to these engineering vehicles, there are cars belonging to the 1st Regiment Headquarters. There are carriages in front of the cars. The carriages are pulling a 75mm caliber howitzer.

Tiger could tell that it was the equipment of the 3rd Regiment that had just been brought out from the pier, and it was probably docking here to coordinate which station it should be transported to.

The mobilization of thousands of troops is not a trivial matter. Every cannon, every shell, and even every roll of toilet paper must be recorded and filed at the end... The workload is huge and complicated, and it is not just a random sentence as imagined. Gathered into action.

It's like those airships docked outside Fengshun Harbor have remained in place until now, and have never even flown again.

Because the gas they need to replenish can only be produced by Long Island, and the ship that transports the spare gas container is still floating on the sea!
There are many local people around who are curiously looking at these weapons and equipment as well as cars and carriages. They seem to be full of curiosity about these soldiers who came from afar.

They have never seen all kinds of novelties brought by these troops, and even the kind of gas street lamps that need special supervision every day are pitifully rare.

These civilians looked at Tiger, as if they were... looking at a high god.
