Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 432 432 Days of Good News
Looking at the natives of Zheng who were still covered in patches despite living in the city, Tiger frowned and looked at the head of the 1st regiment: "Are they really poor or did they become like this because of the war?"

"I asked. They were really squeezed like this. The officials of Zheng State treated them very badly and squeezed them very badly... The same is true after the mirage people came. They don't even treat them as human beings." 1 The leader said: "There are thousands of corpse pits outside the city, and the corpses of Zheng Guoren can be seen everywhere."

"So we should come here." Tiger took off his big-brimmed hat and scratched his hair: "The key point is the port. Increase the throughput as soon as possible. This is the key to speeding up."

How can living conditions be improved?Supplies!Having supplies is the key!Getting more supplies to Dongwan Island is the beginning of all development.

Only when it develops, let the local people feel the improvement of the quality of life, and let them really see hope, can they mobilize their enthusiasm.

Bringing all kinds of materials produced in other regions of Datang Group to Dongwan Island, the construction speed of Dongwan Island can be doubled!

When building Long Island, it started with building the port. This was Tiger's experience, and it was also the reason why Tang Mo asked him to come to Dongwan Island to fight the battle.

In fact, Datang Group has sent a civil official to Dongwan Island. Although this person is young, his qualifications are already very high.

He is Dino, one of the Big Three in the Datang Group Military Academy, together with You Lin and Garza.

All three of them were monitors in the first batch of students, and they were also big cows who followed Tang Mo in the early days and had been studying by Tang Mo's side.

Dino has always majored in military command, but he was temporarily employed by Tang Mo before he had a military position, and arranged to be in charge of civil affairs on Dongwan Island.

He was assisted by a retired old man, a good old man, Boss, the former minister of construction of the Wright Kingdom.

Although this fat man with no ambitions and no skills had no ideas, he was still stable in his work. Because he had friendship with Tang Mo in the early years, he resigned from his position as the Minister of Construction of the Wright Kingdom and joined the Datang Group.

In short, this is a good old man, he can do whatever he asks, and it is suitable for Dino to be an errand runner.

The main purpose of Tang Mo asking him to go to Dongwan Island is to share the work pressure for Dino, because Dino will also be responsible for the construction and arrangement of military facilities on Dongwan Island. There is a lot of work in the early stage, so he needs someone to help.

But Tang Mo really couldn't find anyone who was mature and prudent to go to Dongwan Island—couldn't they all let a group of students in their 20s?Don't worry...

"Welcome to Dongwan Island." Dino, who arrived here first, stretched out his hand when he saw Tiger, and saluted a military: "General!"

Although he is not currently a soldier, he is a student of the Datang Group Military Academy, and he will most likely become an independent commander in the future, so he still maintains all his habits in school.

"You look much better than me." Tiger also returned a military salute, and the two of them walked into the governor's mansion rebuilt by the mirage people on the basis of the Zheng people's official residence.

Frankly speaking, this place is very grand, but it is very poorly modernized and not very practical.

It's a pity that there is no way, because other facilities are being built in a hurry, so this place can only make do with it and continue to use it.

"You also look much better than the members of the 3rd regiment." Dino said to the teacher Tiger with a smile.He only wanted to call Tang Mo a teacher, as if the word teacher belonged to only Tang Mo in his mind.

"No matter what, I have also been to Long Island by boat... I have some experience." Tiger saw the map on the wall and was slightly surprised.

"I often swam in Bunas, and I also practiced on a naval warship." Dino explained why he was in good condition.

He has somewhat adapted to drifting at sea, so his complexion looks better than others.It's not just him, the students of Datang Military Academy actually all have experience in sea training, so their condition is much better than others.

Several workers are sketching various lines on a canvas that looks like a sail, and a rough outline has been drawn.

Tiger knew that this was a map of Dongwan Island, or that this was the world's first detailed modern map of Dongwan Island.

The East Bay city and port have been depicted above in great detail.Because the space is large enough, many places in the middle of the island are completely blank.

"It's really a big project." Standing in front of the map, Tiger looked at the unfinished work and exclaimed.

Dino put his hands behind his back, looked up at the huge map, and agreed with Tiger: "That's true. We have sent dozens of surveying and mapping teams, but now we have only completed such a small amount."

"It's not bad! You've only been here for a few days." Tiger smiled, and then continued to walk forward. The telegraph office had already started to operate, and many rooms had already been powered on and installed electric lights.

However, the lampstands used to insert candles on the walls can still be seen in the hall, and traces of blackening can also be seen.

When he came to the office, Dino removed some documents and introduced the situation on the island to Tiger: "Now, what the garrison needs to do most is to wipe out all the resistance forces on this island, not just mirages. The army, including Zheng Guo's army!"

"What? There's Zheng Guo's army?" Tiger, who didn't know much about the situation, looked at the head of the 1st regiment beside him.

Regiment 1 hurriedly explained the problem: "Because of the cruel rule of the mirage people, many Zheng people spontaneously formed a rebel army, similar to the guerrillas in the textbook, but the combat effectiveness is weak..."

Tiger looked at Dino, and it seemed that there was some intention to test the school: "What's your opinion?"

"Rely on the locals, find a way to find these stragglers, and if they can be naturalized, they can be sent to the mines for reform." Dino replied without thinking.

Obviously, he has been thinking about this problem for the past few days when he came in advance, and he has also thought of a solution to the problem.

"It's a way." After listening to his answer, Tiger nodded with a smile, very satisfied with Dino, the half of the students.

Then, he didn't ask Dino, and added by himself: "It's easy to deal with the defeated troops in Mirage, eliminate those who resist, and arrange labor for those who surrender."

"We must ensure the safety of every road construction team, every surveying team, every patrol team, every road and every railway... Otherwise, the cost of sending troops to protect and endure losses and harassment will be too high." Di Nuo emphasized the importance of security: "We still have a lot of confidential work to do in the follow-up. If these problems are not resolved, there will be no way to carry out follow-up work."

"Agreed." Tiger agreed with Dino.

"Are the locals cooperating?" Then he asked again.

Dino nodded, he was very satisfied with the local people's numbness and submissive cooperation attitude: "So far it's okay, I have arranged some material distribution points in some areas, the aborigines in the wild are very cooperative, and the harassment is very rare. Accident."

Hearing that the overall situation is not bad, Tiger is also relieved. As long as the resistance is not severe, he is still confident that the situation will be stabilized.

Just as he was thinking about how to deploy troops, he heard Dino continue to say: "Also, general... I need more people..."

"Good boy, have you taken a fancy to my soldier?" Tiger was taken aback, then smiled and nodded Dino with his finger.

Dino immediately put on an appearance of a bachelor: "No way, if I can get someone somewhere, I wouldn't dare ask you for it."

"3rd regiment?" Tiger was going to push out the temporarily unusable troops who had just arrived and were still seasick, and bargained.

"The first group...the third group just disembarked, let them rest for a few days. The iron factory is under construction, let them help!" Dino was very shrewd and insisted not to be fooled.

Tiger didn't struggle anymore, and directly agreed with Dino's idea: "Stinky boy! All right! Let the 1 group exercise."

"General, since you came here, you have found a big project for us." The head of the 1st regiment was beside him, pretending to complain.

Tiger also pretended to be serious and reprimanded: "Stop complaining, execute the order!"

"But the hunters of our regiment are all performing search and clearance tasks outside..." The head of the 1st regiment thought of a question.

"That's true. These hunters have done a good job. About the locals sending off women, it was reported by a hunter named Cao Fei from the 1st Regiment and 2nd Battalion." Dino saw Tiger's gaze, and immediately Helped explain.

Tiger nodded: "Then let the hunters continue the task, and the remaining officers and soldiers of the 1st regiment will hand over the defense to the 2nd regiment... Anyway, the barracks in the city are not very good, so let's just switch defenses. Is there any difficulty?"

"No!" Regiment 1 replied with his chin raised, standing at attention.Their 1 regiment is the main force of the main force. If one day it expands into a 1st division, he will be the division commander. What is the task at hand?
It's not about desperately fighting, there is probably a field garrison subsidy, and the barracks in the city are not very good, so where can I find such a bargain?

Soon, the already chaotic Dongwan City was once again full of voices. The troops of the 1st regiment and 1st battalion were transferred out of the barracks, and the troops of the 2nd regiment began to change defenses.

For a while, the road was crowded with various vehicles and horses, and the aborigines looked curiously at these big-headed soldiers who had just arrived and started to tossing again soon.

What was different from before was that these soldiers who came from afar and claimed to be the army of the Datang Group did not disturb the people, they would not moleste the local women, nor would they rob and take things indiscriminately.

In their view, this is already great news.This is also the reason why they cooperate so much: they have never seen the "taken advantage" of giving them money to work!
