For many Shillong locals, this year's changes in the city have undoubtedly made them feel dazzled. Looking at the county town that is changing almost day by day, many people who have never walked out of the county town have finally realized what it means to be eye-opening.

In addition to the county town that has changed the most, many local people have also found that there are more villages near their villages and villages. These newly relocated people have different accents from theirs.

But the most pleasing thing for the local people is that the newly built villages have schools. In addition to the children of the people who have moved to the new village, the children of the neighboring old villages can go to school, and the children can also eat a free lunch at the school.

Listening to the sound of reading aloud from the school, many poor people also sighed that these children had caught up with the good times. In addition to the primary school hall built in Xincun, most of the towns are interested in middle schools and health centers.

In the face of this dazzling change in Shillong, many traders of the caravan began to choose to settle in Shillong. As long as they move to Shillong, their children can also enjoy the same treatment.

With only the two benefits of the school and the township health center, the new county official Zhu Chengzong has become a Buddha-like figure in the eyes of the people. For the gratitude of the people, Zhu Chengzong knows how much money needs to be invested in these two benefits.

Although the county's commercial tax revenue is increasing day by day, the county government needs to invest a lot of money every month compared to the expenses that need to be spent. In Zhu Chengzong's words, if you were another ruler, you would not have done this at all.

When Hu Biao personally escorted a batch of supplies back to Xillong again, looking at the crowded streets, he was also very satisfied: "Lao Zhu, you did a good job!" Looking at this situation, it is estimated that the shops built before are not enough to rent, right? ”

"Hmmm! With the increase in the number of vendors who have moved to settle here, the shops are indeed a bit insufficient. Some grain merchants and salt merchants in the southwest have rented shops here. Except that we think our price limit is a bit overbearing, I don't have any other opinions. ”

"If there is no price limit, not all the hard-earned money earned by the people will be earned by them. Moreover, our price limit also reserves income for them. If they are not satisfied, they can move the store out! ”

With the influx of a large number of immigrants into Xilong, Hu Biao considered that the prices of various daily necessities would rise. In order to avoid this situation, Hu Biao commissioned a horse team to transport grain for him, and at the same time recruited traders from the southwest to set up shop here.

Food and salt are the necessities of the common people. If you don't limit the price, with the virtue of those traders, I am afraid that the price will change three times a day. If this kind of thing really happens, it will also be a huge blow to the county government controlled by Zhu Chengzong.

The policy of price restriction was adopted, although grain and salt merchants could not sell goods at high prices. But the number of goods sold every day on Shillong's side still makes them a lot of profits. The price is low, but the quantity is more, and the money is naturally a lot.

For many caravans, after coming to Shillong a few times, they found that the goods they brought were basically not marketable. In addition to selling Changping grain and salt, Hu Biao also spent a lot of money to build warehouses in various military camps to store grain and salt.

In addition to trading with these caravans, Hu Biao also traded food and other materials with colonial governments such as Britain and France through his own relationship channels. Although there are many mountains and few lands in the southwest, there is still no shortage of grain in Burma and Annam.

On the second day after returning to the county seat, Hu Biao found Qin Tianyou and said: "Inform the Eagle Strike Team and let them organize a real flight." The plane took off, and the county town sounded the air defense alarm. I want to see how our air defense drills are organized! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

In order to deal with possible air raids in the future, Hu Biao would rather toss more in ordinary times than panic when the people encounter a surprise attack. In the county seat and in various towns and villages, Hu Biao asked the engineering team to build corresponding air-raid shelters.

Practicing more in peacetime can also greatly reduce casualties when encountering a vacuum attack. As long as people are alive, the factories and houses that have been blown up can be rebuilt later. It really made Hu Biao anxious, and he didn't mind organizing a counter-air raid.

With the arrival of the subsequent purchased aircraft, Hu Biao has begun to look for a new airport in Yunnan Province. The pilots who studied later will return to the team one after another, and the number of fighters and pilots in the Eagle Strike squad under Hu Biao will continue to increase.

If there was a big air raid, Hu Biao didn't mind throwing more money and hired Menia pilots to help fight. Regarding this kind of employment, many of the pilots in Asia seem to be eager to be hired.

In addition to earning a lot of money, it can also increase their actual combat experience, so how can they mind killing two birds with one stone? Even the generals of the garrison in Menia privately hoped that this kind of cooperation would be more common.

The terrible air raid sirens sounded, and the people in the city, who had just had breakfast, were somewhat caught off guard. The soldier in charge of patrolling the streets immediately shouted: "Quick! Air raid alert, hurry to the nearby bomb shelter, hurry! ”

This kind of air defense drill was organized several times earlier, and many people felt that it was somewhat unnecessary. In the face of the urging of the officers and soldiers defending the city, many people were also helpless, so they could only run to the nearest air-raid shelter with the flow of people.

In the process of running, some people even said: "I really don't know, what do you do every time you engage in this kind of thing!" How can there be planes to bomb a small place like ours? Tossing like this every day, isn't this full and nothing to do? ”

Just as the people dragged and ran to the air-raid shelter, Hu Biao, who witnessed this scene, also said seriously: "Do you see it? For these people, they had no idea of the consequences of being bombed and did not feel the slightest danger.

When the Eagle Strike team arrives, I'll see if they dare to slow down like this. Only by letting these people know that we are practicing to save their lives in the future, will they truly know that time is the meaning of life! ”

In the face of these people who deliberately slowed down, the officers and soldiers in charge of defending the city were also urging, but these people were still indifferent. After staying for a long time, many people knew that these officers and soldiers defending the city did not dare to bully them at will.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of reliance that these people no longer have fear of officers and soldiers. It wasn't until the roar of the plane overhead that the officers and soldiers who arranged for the transfer of the people shouted: "Did you hear that? It's still slow, do you want to die? ”

Seeing the warplanes overhead, these civilians finally felt that their lives were threatened. There was no need for officers and soldiers to urge them at all, and they ran faster than rabbits one by one. It's just that in the process of running to the bomb shelter, there is no order at all.

Just like in the city, the troops responsible for the vigilance of the townships and towns are also carrying out the corresponding air defense drill plans. Under normal circumstances, once a Japanese fighter plane intrudes into the airspace of the southwest, the air defense guard posts along the line will immediately strengthen their alert.

Once it is confirmed that the Japanese fighters are flying in the direction of Shillong, the air defense guard post will notify the air defense guard force on the side of Shillong by telegram. An air raid warning was issued in advance to allow civilians to retreat into the air-raid shelters that had been built.

For Hu Biao, he would rather scare the people a few more times than let them be indifferent. When the bombing comes, if the people fail to hide in the bomb shelter in time, then their fate will not be too good.

Last year, the Japanese army carried out several rounds of large-scale bombardment of the mountain city, causing casualties and property losses, which were enough to shock the world. On the side of Xilong, Hu Biao would rather lose some houses and factories than suffer heavy casualties.

When the people hid in the air-raid shelters one after another, Hu Biao immediately said: "Guide the target outside the city, and let the Eagle Strike team dive and shoot and throw a few bombs." Golden eagles, they also need to do more live-fire training! Let's go! ”

In order to prevent the people in the city from thinking that he was acting again, Hu Biao deliberately increased the tension. In this case, the corresponding air defense drill will be carried out next time, and I believe that these civilians will not be indifferent. The Eagle Strike squad can also act as an imaginary enemy!

It is rare to have the opportunity to carry bombs for training, and Wu Haotian and others also cherish such an opportunity. Seeing that there were people in the city fleeing in a panic, Wu Haotian and others also knew. If they were really enemy planes, these civilians would be very dangerous.

With the urine nature of the little devils, their reconnaissance planes or fighters, will dive and strafe. If these civilians could not hide in the air-raid shelters before the enemy planes volleyed, they would all face the danger of being frantically strafed and slaughtered by the Japanese fighters.

When a signal flare flew into the air, Wu Haotian made a gesture on the fighter plane and commanded the formation to carry out the drill tasks of ground dive strafing and aerial bombing. For a while, the roar of machine guns soon sounded outside the city.

The people hiding in the air-raid shelter were also very frightened and said: "Oh my God! The little devil's plane, it's really coming to us! ”

Hearing the people's discussions, the officers and soldiers responsible for maintaining order in the air-raid shelter immediately said: "Fellow villagers, don't worry, the air-raid shelter we have built is very strong. Even if the little devils take turns throwing bombs, they won't blow us up, so relax. ”

Under the pacification of the officers and soldiers, the people gradually quieted down. Compared with previous air defense drills, this time the people were really frightened. However, in the eyes of the officers and men, it is still necessary to retain some of this fear.

The dive strafing of the airborne machine guns ended, and several bombers began to bomb in formation. Wu Haotian, who was piloting the fighter plane, also stayed aside to observe the bombing effect. There were two bombers in it, and the bombs seemed to have been thrown a little off.

Fortunately, there were no people living around the selected bombing site, and most importantly, the hill itself was intended to be blasted and bulldozed. Therefore, as a shooting and bombing target, it can also save some explosives, which can be regarded as making the best use of materials.

When the people hid in the air-raid shelter, Hu Biao walked on the street with a group of people. Looking at the people going to the empty streets, Hu Biao also said seriously: "The people can hide in the air-raid shelters, and the streets must be arranged with vigilant troops to prevent people from fishing in the water!" ”

"Understood! In the first two air raids, we have arrested a group of thieves, and after the public trial, this situation has been greatly reduced. But there are still people who like to bring money with them when they hide in the bomb shelter. ”

Sacrificing his life and not giving up his wealth, this kind of way of doing things for ordinary people, Hu Biao also knows that it is difficult to reverse. Fortunately, judging from the effect of the exercise, although it was somewhat unsatisfactory, it still had an effect in the end. This shows that the drill is still necessary!
