Chapter Ninety-Two: Dozan's Touch
Half a month passed, and after conquering the city-states west of Sun City, Barono's army began to increase its forces in the direction of the west of Silverstone. Because the current Six-City Alliance is the most powerful force, they need to subdue those scattered forces before dealing with the Six-City Alliance.
After hearing about this incident, the common people of Silverstone City, Vientiane City and Silver Tower City all dragged their families and prepared to flee to the south. The refugees who fled from the disaster area in the southwest regretted that they had known that this would happen, and what they had fled here for.
Now these refugees have just settled down in the three city-states when this happens, making them feel that fate is so unfair to them that they will not even be given a quiet home.
However, those rulers do not care what the commoners think, but think about how to maximize their own interests. What's more, these refugees are not treated as their own people at all, so no one cares.
Now the residential area in the Lion King Base has been built on a large scale, and there are now about 4,000 refugees living in it, and it should now be called the civilians of the Lion King Base. Now these civilians have a place to live, and some of the residents even have their own jobs.
In addition to the workers who built the base building and the workers recruited to the arsenal, there were also some who were responsible for cleaning the streets, doing various equipment and maintenance, and were responsible for logistics. These workers all have salaries, so they are very energetic to work, and they all have the official status of the Lion King Base, and their sense of responsibility is also very strong.
Although the construction of the base is still far from complete, at least all the soldiers and civilians have houses to live in, and the most basic training grounds and facilities are sufficient. Cheng Lei is ready to transfer some construction workers and ask Qi Mi to give them systematic training. Now the equipment of the new cement plant ordered by Zheng Bin has been shipped back one after another, and Qi Mi has begun to install it.
A few days ago, the cement factory in the northwest of Yinta City stopped production under Cheng Lei's order, and all the equipment and facilities needed to be dismantled and transported to the Lion King base. When the time comes, two cement production lines, one large and one small, will start together, and the gold coins will flow in like water.
The demolition of the Northwest Cement Plant was carried very quickly, and according to the news sent by Shao Qian, the first batch of equipment had now been loaded and set off. The second batch of equipment will also be loaded on the day after tomorrow and the day after tomorrow for the return trip, because it is transported by horse-drawn carriage, so the speed is relatively slow, and it will take two days to reach the Lion King base.
The arsenal in the Lion King base has been in full swing for nearly a month, and all 36 tanks and armored vehicles have been modified under the personal leadership of Zheng Bin. Later, after various debugging and operation, it was confirmed that there were no problems with all parts and components, and Zheng Bin announced the end of this urgent mission.
The next day, Zheng Bin handed over all the 36 tanks and armored vehicles to Yin Kaicheng, who had already selected more than 400 recruits from Li Changcheng's recruit training camp to supplement the armored company more than ten days earlier, and formally established the Lion King Armored Regiment. Of course, this was all approved by Cheng Lei, and the names were all given by Cheng Lei, otherwise Yin Kaicheng would not have the courage to make his own decisions.
Following the establishment of the Lion King Armored Regiment, Pan Jin was ordered by Cheng Lei to transfer 800 soldiers from the recruit training camp, plus the original more than 200 soldiers, to form the War Eagle Regiment. The others had to wait for Shao Qian and Lei Yang to come to the base before they were assigned, and Li Changcheng also dispatched thirty elite soldiers to create a guard platoon for Cheng Lei, responsible for Cheng Lei's safety work, and had been sent to Cheng Lei's side.
Cheng Lei was amused and pleased with Li Changcheng's sycophancy, the funny thing is that although these guards have been strongly trained and are elites, if they really encounter an emergency, Cheng Lei doesn't think they can be better than himself.
After all, Cheng Lei is the squadron leader of the Lion King squadron, and of course he will not take these fledgling soldiers in his eyes as a special forces. But after all, this is a wish of Li Changcheng, maybe a wish of all the old brothers on the other side of the base, so of course Cheng Lei will not refuse, and he is very pleased with the growth of the current Lion King squadron.
The current Lion King Squadron can become a Lion King Army, of course, it is not comparable to the number of an army, but the number of a division is already completely there. This is Cheng Lei's original goal, with the strength of a division and all the soldiers trained by his own people, the loyalty must be very high, which is the most important.
Cheng Lei walked on the main street of the Silver Tower, without anyone around him, looking at the usually bustling main street of the Silver Tower has now become deserted and miserable, Cheng Lei's heart is also a little uncomfortable. Today he is going to the Silver Tower to say goodbye to Duke Dozan, because now all the materials in the Lion King's base can meet their needs for a long time, and now that the training of soldiers has entered the end, he is urgently needed as a commander to carry out various task assignments.
After coming to the Silver Tower Conference Hall, the guards at the door invited Cheng Lei in, and then went to report to Duke Dozan. Cheng Lei sat in the conference hall with some emotion in his heart, and all the scenes that happened in Yinta City before appeared in Cheng Lei's heart.
When he first arrived in Silver Tower City, he fought against Barry and Lige, and for the first time in this world, he fought and eliminated the Poison Fang Army and put down the rebellion...... All the people and things appeared in front of his eyes, and when he first came to this world, Cheng Lei never imagined that the Lion King Squadron would develop into a division-level force.
However, he believes that in the future, the Lion King Army will be based on the division level, and will gradually reach the army level and even the group army or even a dozen group armies. At that time, he will be able to look down on the world.
"Mr. Cheng, don't send someone to say hello when you come. I'll send someone to pick you up or meet you at the door!" Duke Dozan spoke as he stepped out of the side staircase.
Now the Duke of Dozan's bad habits have changed a lot, such as letting the maids carry the big bed down from the rooftop. However, it is not ruled out that Duke Duozan wanted to deliberately pretend to be like this at that time to confuse Baili and them, so he did such a thing, and he himself did not say that Cheng Lei never asked.
Cheng Lei smoked a cigarette and bowed down to show courtesy, and then said: "Your Excellency, Silver Tower City is my second hometown. The Silver Tower is the second home in addition to the Lion King Squadron, do I still need to greet it when I go back to my own home! ”
"Hahaha......" Duke Duozan laughed and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are really good at talking!" ”
Cheng Lei was not in the mood to joke now, and immediately got to the point and said: "Your Excellency the Duke, have you noticed that there are very few people in the usually lively places in the city now, have these people gone out to flee?" ”
Duke Duozan gave Cheng Lei a flue-cured tobacco, lit one himself, and said: "Even if they haven't fled yet, I'm afraid they are all packing up their belongings and preparing to flee, I heard that Silverstone City is even more exaggerated, after all, there are not many people who have fled in Yinta City, and they are not blatant enough." More than a third of the people have fled out of Silverstone City, and now that Silverstone City has been sealed, Marquis Monroe may be afraid that if there are too many people fleeing, Silverstone City will inevitably not be able to operate, and I am afraid that there will be a bigger mess at that time. ”
Cheng Lei nodded: "Monroe's approach is very correct, if the people all run away, only the army will remain." Even if there is enough food, many daily tasks still need to be done by ordinary people, after all, those big soldiers are mainly used to fight. ”
Duke Dozan asked, "Mr. Cheng is definitely not here for this today, is he?" ”
Cheng Lei told Duke Duozan about his desire to return to the Lion King's base and the reason, and Duke Duozan's face immediately changed: "What? Mr. Cheng, are you going to leave Silver Tower City behind? ”
Cheng Lei hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Your Excellency Duke, you misunderstood, now the army of the base needs me to make unified adjustments and deployments, and I haven't been to the base once since it was built." I couldn't afford to put it off any longer, so I decided to move directly to the base to facilitate my current job. Of course, I'm sure I'll come back, after all, Silver Tower City is my second hometown, don't worry, Your Excellency the Duke. ”
Duke Duozan seemed to have no backer: "In the past, it was all under the command of you, Mr. Cheng, in Yinta City, but now you suddenly propose to leave, I know that I can't keep you, but I still want to keep you, and I will feel at peace with you by my side." ”
"That's it, Your Excellency Duke, I've thought about it a long time ago, and I'll give you two supports. One is to send ten skilled people to help you build the light and dark bunkers in the west and north of the city. When the time comes, design a detailed drawing, and you can send someone to follow along! Cheng Lei took a puff of cigarette and said: "I can sell the cement at a low price or even provide it to you directly for free, and then send me back the ten people after your bunker is completely built!" ”
Seeing that Cheng Lei had made up his mind, Duke Duozan had to sigh and say, "Okay, since you said so, even if I have any objections, I can't do anything." Mr. Cheng, take care all the way......"
Cheng Lei said: "Your Excellency, don't think that I, Cheng Lei, am the kind of person who is unkind. I can assure you that if Balono's army reaches Silvertower, I will certainly send troops to help defeat them. For the safety of Silver Tower City, our Lion King Army has no complaints until the last soldier! ”
Duke Duozan said with tears in his eyes: "Mr. Cheng, thank you, I didn't expect that I Duozan would make a real friend of yourself after living so long." For such a long time, no matter how much I praise it or not, Mr. Cheng will never give up, I am very moved! ”
