Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 432432 Great news

Looking at the Zheng natives who were still covered in patches despite living in the city, Tiger frowned and looked at the 1st regimental leader: "Are they really poor or are they like this because of the war?"

"I've asked, are they really being squeezed like this? The officials of the Zheng State treated them very badly and exploited them very seriously... It was the same after the Mirage people came, and they didn't even treat them as human beings." Group 1 The chief said: "There are thousands of corpse pits outside the city, and corpses of Zheng people can be seen everywhere."

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

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

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

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

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

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

He is Dino, one of the three giants in the first phase of the Datang Group's Military Academy, along with You Lin and Garza.

The three of them are all monitors of the first batch of students, and they are also all experts who followed Tang Mo in the early days and have been learning from Tang Mo's side.

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

He was assisted by a retired old man, a good old man, and the fat former Minister of Construction of the Kingdom of Wright, Bose.

Although this fat man with no ambition and no skills had no independent opinions, he was quite steady in his work. Because he had a relationship with Tang Mo in his early years, he resigned from his position as the Minister of Construction of the Wright Kingdom and went to work for Datang Group.

 In short, he is a good old man who does whatever he is asked to do. It is appropriate for him to be assigned to Dino as an errand boy.

 Tang Mo asked him to go to Dongwan Island mainly to share the work pressure with Dino, because Dino was also responsible for the construction and arrangement of military facilities on Dongwan Island. There was a lot of preliminary work, so he needed help.

But Tang Mo really couldn't find any mature and prudent people to go to Dongwan Island - we couldn't just let a group of students around 20 years old, right? I can't worry...

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

Although he is not a soldier now, he is a student at the Datang Group Military Academy and will probably become an independent commander in the future, so he still maintains all the habits he had 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, which was rebuilt by the people of the Mirage State on the basis of the official palace of the Zheng State.

To be honest, this place is quite grand, but its modernization level is very poor and its practicality is not very good.

 It’s a pity that there is no other way, because other facilities have to be built in a hurry, so we can only make do with it and continue to use it.

“You look much better than the people in Group 3.” Dino said to Tiger, the teacher, with a smile. He only wanted to call Tang Mo teacher. It seemed that the word teacher belonged to Tang Mo only in his mind.

“I have also been to Dragon Island by boat... I have some experience.” Tiger saw the map on the wall and was a little surprised.

“I swam a lot in Bunas, and I also served as an intern on a navy warship.” Dino explained the reason for his good condition.

 He has somewhat adapted to wandering at sea, so he looks better than others. Not only him, but the students at the Datang Military Academy have actually experienced internship at sea, so their condition is much better than others.

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

Taige knew that this was a map of Dongwan Island, or that it was the first detailed modern map of Dongwan Island in the world.

 The city and port of Dongwan have been described in great detail. Because the space is large enough, the middle parts of many islands are completely blank.

“It’s really a big project.” Tiger stood in front of the map and admired the unfinished work.

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

"Not bad! You've only been here a few days." Tiger smiled, and then continued to walk forward. The telegraph room was already in operation, and many rooms had electricity and lights installed.

However, you can still see the lampstands used to hold candles on the walls in the hall, and you can also see traces of being blackened. When he came to the office, Dino moved some documents and introduced Tiger to the situation on the island: "Now, what the garrison needs to do most is to clear out all the resistance on the island, not just the mirage. The army, including the Zheng army!”

 “What? There are also Zheng Guo’s troops?” Tiger, who didn’t particularly understand the situation, looked at the commander of the 1st Regiment on the side.

The leader of the regiment 1 quickly explained the problem: "Because of the cruel rule of the Mirage people, many Zheng people spontaneously formed a resistance army, which is similar to the guerrillas in the textbook, but the combat effectiveness is weak..."

Tiger looked at Dino and seemed to have some intention of taking a test: "What's your opinion?"

“Rely on the local people, find a way to find these stragglers, and naturalize those who can, and send those who can’t to the mines for transformation.” Dino answered immediately without thinking.

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

“That’s a way.” After hearing his answer, Tiger smiled and nodded, very satisfied with Dino, a half-student.

Then, he did not ask Dino, and added by himself: "The defeated troops of the Mirage Kingdom will be easy to deal with. Those who resist will be eliminated, and those who surrender will be arranged for labor."

"We must ensure the safety of every road construction engineering team, every surveying and mapping team, every patrol team, every highway and every railway... Otherwise, the cost of sending troops to protect and endure losses and harassment will be too high." Dino Emphasizing the importance of public security: "We still have a lot of confidential work to do in the follow-up. If these problems are not solved, there will be no way to start the follow-up work."

 “Agree.” Tiger agreed with Dino.

 “Are the locals cooperative?” He then continued to ask.

Dino nodded. He was very satisfied with the cooperative attitude of the local people who were so numb and resigned: "So far, it looks okay. I have arranged some material distribution points in some areas. The indigenous people in the wild are very cooperative, and the harassment is very rare." Accident."

Hearing that the overall situation was not bad, Tiger was relieved. As long as the resistance was not serious, he was still confident that the situation could be stabilized.

While he was thinking about how to deploy his troops, he heard Dino continue: "In addition, general... I need more manpower..."

“Good boy, are you interested in my soldiers?” Tiger was stunned, then smiled and nodded Dino with his finger.

Dino immediately acted like a bachelor: "I can't help it. If I could find someone somewhere, I wouldn't dare ask you for it."

“Regiment 3?” Tiger was about to push out the troops that had just arrived and were still seasick and temporarily unusable, and bargained.

"The 1st...3rd group just got off the ship, let them rest for a few days. Let them help with the ironworks construction!" Dino was very smart and insisted not to be fooled.

 Tiger stopped struggling and directly agreed with Dino's idea: "You brat! Okay! Let the first group exercise."

“General, as soon as you came here, you found a big project for us.” The regiment commander was standing nearby, pretending to complain.

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

“But the chasseurs of our regiment are all performing search and recovery tasks outside...” The regiment leader thought of a question.

"It's true. These hunters did a good job. Regarding the locals giving away women, a hunter named Cao Fei from the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Regiment reported it." Dino saw Tiger's gaze and immediately Helped explain.

Tiger nodded: "Then let the Chasseurs continue their mission. 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. Let's just change the defense. Is there any difficulty?"

 “No!” Captain 1 replied standing upright with his chin raised. Their 1st regiment is the main force among the main force. If one day it is expanded into a 1st division, he will be the division commander. What is this little task in front of him?

It’s not like we’re going all out, 80% of them still have field garrison subsidies, and the barracks in the city aren’t very good either. Where can we find this free advantage?

Soon, the already chaotic Dongwan City once again became agitated. The troops of the 1st Regiment and the 1st Battalion were transferred out of the military camp, and the troops of the 2nd Regiment began to change defenses.

For a time, the road was crowded with various vehicles and horses, and the aboriginal people looked curiously at these big-headed soldiers who had just arrived and started tossing around again.

What is different from before is that these soldiers who came from afar and claimed to be the army of the Datang Group did not disturb the people. They did not molest the local women, nor did they rob or take anything.

From their point of view, this is great news. This is also the reason why they are so cooperative: they have never seen the "taken advantage of" who gives them money to work!
