Chapter XXXVIII Resettlement of Refugees

The Dieter brothers fell into deep thought after listening to Cheng Lei's righteous and awe-inspiring statement, and they saw that what Cheng Lei said was indeed not a lie. Moreover, now that the situation in the Eastern world is turbulent, if you want to maintain peace, and protect the safety of civilians, as well as protect your own interests, then, of course, you must counter violence against the aggressor. Of course, it is understandable that Cheng Lei wants to develop an aircraft as a weapon of mass destruction, and now that the Dieter brothers and their families want to stay in the Lion King Base for a long time, then they also hope that the Lion King Base can be protected by strong force.

Thinking of this, Da Dit showed a smile of understanding and support: "Mr. Cheng, we didn't understand your plan very well. After listening to your statement, we understand, well, we unconditionally support and obey your plan to build the plane into a weapon for our lion army! ”

Da Dieter used the phrase "our Lion King Base" in his words, indicating that he has regarded himself as a member of the Lion King Base. In this way, they will think about the lion king base wholeheartedly, and Cheng Lei is also very satisfied after hearing it.

Then they began to study how to leave the machine gun's firing holes and bomb delivery devices on the drawings, and when everyone was united, things would be done quickly, and it took them an afternoon to draw the drawings. All the details and other issues were also taken into account, and the Dieter brothers contributed a lot of effort, after all, they are professional technicians, and the ideas are very suitable.

In the next ten days, Cheng Lei barely had a good rest, but has been with Qi Mi, Zheng Bin and the Dieter brothers at the aircraft test site. They wanted to build their first aircraft to perfection, so they installed the retrofit aircraft while revising the drawings. Now all the parts and components of the aircraft have been fully equipped, and if there are unsuitable parts, they will be directly taken to the arsenal to be transformed, and slowly the first aircraft will take shape from the beginning to the final stage.

The biggest problem is actually the problem of the engine, Cheng Lei specially invited the most famous mechanical experts in Sun City, and they transformed the most advanced engine imported from the West into the most suitable engine for aircraft use. Moreover, Cheng Lei also bought many barrels of high-quality fuel from the West, which was used as a special fuel for aircraft.

A few days later, the first plane was accompanied by two heavily modified machine guns with increased range and power. And it was also equipped with a bombing device, and on board the aircraft was equipped with thirty shells, which again reduced the number of ammunition in order to prevent overloading.

The Dieter brothers asked for a few more days to complete and carefully inspect all the details of the plane, after which they could take a test flight. Cheng Lei had already sent someone to build an airfield according to the standards of the airfield in the previous world, so now everything is ready, only Dongfeng owes it, and it can be tested after the Dieter brothers have checked it.

In the evening, Cheng Lei returned home a little exhausted. Qinglan was directing the two maids to clean the living room on the first floor, while Xiling was sitting next to her and talking to Qinglan. Since Cheng Lei and Qinglan got married, they only had the two maids that Qinglan married over, and there were no other servants or anything like that.

Now Xi Ling is married again, but Xi Ling didn't bring any maids, because she didn't have maids when she was in Yinta City before. So the two maids are already a little difficult to serve the three of them now, and Cheng Lei doesn't want people to make irresponsible comments that he has a lot of servants at home. But it's just such a small building, and there is a very diligent Qinglan, so it can also be handled.

Seeing Cheng Lei coming back, the two maids saluted him. Qinglan and Xiling also stepped forward together, Qinglan took off her coat for Cheng Lei, and said, "Brother Lei, there are so many people under him, do you use your own hands to soak in that test site all day long?" Look at how much you've lost weight lately. ”

Cheng Lei's heart was moved, Qinglan still knew that she hurt herself, looking at Qinglan's delicate face, Cheng Lei really wanted to kiss her. At this time, Xi Ling also spoke: "Yes, although I have also been the leader of the city guards, I have never worked as hard as you. If there is anything, leave it to your subordinates, Sister Qinglan is right. ”

Cheng Lei said: "This experiment is very important for the Lion King Army, and I don't feel at ease if I don't stare at it personally." If the first test flight is successful in a few days, I can be completely relieved, and I will rest for a few more days to accompany you. ”

Xi Ling looked at him pitifully: "Brother Lei, do you also arrange a position for me in the Lion King Army?" I can't stay idle at home. ”

Cheng Lei smiled: "You still say that I don't know how to rest, you look at yourself, now that you are pregnant, you still want to find a job!" You just give me an honest rest at home, Qinglan, you take good care of her, don't let her run around, the child in her belly is not a joke! ”

Qinglan said: "Brother Lei, don't worry, Sister Xiling must know in her heart that she won't run around." For the sake of our Cheng family's descendants, of course, I can't let Sister Xiling run around! ”

Xi Ling was a little helpless: "Alas, you guys, this is the right to stifle my work!" ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Before you get married, you should think that you will have much more time to marry and teach children in the future than other times, this is what a woman should do." Those things of fighting and training have been done by you women, what are you doing with us old men, right? ”

Qinglan nodded: "Sister Xiling, just listen to our persuasion, Brother Lei will definitely not let us suffer." I think with Brother Lei here, we just need to live in peace! ”

……

The next period of time can be said to be a sudden change, and in half a month, the Balen'o army occupied one-eighth of the territory of Itos. And now Balono has gathered another 100,000 troops, divided into three ways and marching together, and can occupy a city in almost three days.

In total, there are more than fifty cities in the territory of Itos, and their capital is in the central part of Itos. Civilians and troops in those cities that were now very close to Balen'ou's army had become refugees and moved eastward, many with their children and daughters, and most of their families died before they reached their destination. Some starved to death, some were attacked by the Baron's army behind them, and some were killed by Itos' own rout.

The country of Itos is now completely in chaos, and the military department of Itos has sent more than a dozen requests for help to the Western Empire, but half a month has passed without moving. The only armies they could resist were also shattered and disorganized, and now Itos was in a difficult situation, both internally and externally.

Countless refugees fled south to the countries of the South, and countless refugees poured into the territory of the Liedong Federation. And the Itos army on the other side of the canyon fortress did not intercept it, because they knew that it was good for these civilians to escape, and if they did, they would really become the murderers who helped the Balen'o army massacre civilians.

A large number of refugees poured into the territory of the Liedong Federation from Itos, and then fled to Daheng City and the southern cities of Daheng City, and of course, many refugees also gathered outside the Lion King base. There are also many refugees who have fled to several northern cities such as Silverstone, but there are far fewer than those who have fled to Daheng City and the Lion King Base.

Zheng Bin has a headache now, and he is discussing something with Qi Mi. There are thousands of refugees gathered outside the Lion King Base, and if all these refugees are taken in, I don't know if the Lion King Base can withstand it. But seeing these refugees outside the city without food and clothing, their hearts are really unhappy.

Since the successful test flight of the aircraft a few days ago, the days when Cheng Lei pounced on the aircraft test site day and night have come to an end. Cheng Lei wanted to let the pilots they trained carry out the first test flight, but the Dieter brothers were not at ease and insisted that they carry out the first test flight.

Seeing that they really insisted, Cheng Lei had no choice but to agree. The first test flight was very successful, and the Dieter brothers also carried out bomb throwing experiments and shooting experiments, both of which were also particularly successful. Now that the aircraft test site has officially set up an aircraft factory, they are going to start manufacturing aircraft in large quantities.

Cheng Lei used an urgent letter to tell Kong Long and Kong Hu, who were in the West, that they must not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy back the parts and fuel that the manufacturing plant needs now. Even if it costs more than others, you must buy it, and you must have enough refined fuel for the aircraft.

Cheng Lei also sent people to inquire whether the refinery in Balonou could refine the kind of refined fuel needed by the aircraft, and if so, they would import it directly from Balonou, which could shorten the distance to the greatest extent. And they are also a big customer of the Balleno refinery, and of course the price is favorable.

After the successful test flight of the plane, Cheng Lei rested at home for a few days. Since marrying Xi Ling, Cheng Lei has not been with Xi Ling and Qinglan well, and has spent all his time in the aircraft test site.

At Cheng Lei's house, his head rested on Qinglan's thigh, Qinglan gently massaged his head, and Xiling helped him massage his limbs on the other side. Cheng Lei was so comfortable that he closed his eyes, which was very comfortable. It seems that it feels good to have more wives, at least after being tired, you can have two big beauties to massage yourself.

"Master, two wives, there is a communication soldier outside who wants to see the master and say that there is something important to report." A maid came in and said.

Cheng Lei immediately sat up: "Didn't he say what was the matter?" ”

"No, he only said that he had something to report to you, and nothing else." The maid said truthfully.

Cheng Lei got up and said, "I'll go see what's going on, you two take a rest." With that, he walked out.

The communication soldier at the gate saw Cheng Lei coming out, and hurriedly said: "Report to the general, there are thousands of refugees gathered outside the south gate of the base, and they have all fled from the side of Yitos." ”

After listening to his words, Cheng Lei said: "They are all refugees? Are there any deserters or something? ”

"No," said the Signal Soldier, "but even if there were, we wouldn't be able to see it. When the deserters escaped, they would not be seen as deserters, and they were all disguised as civilians. ”

Cheng Lei nodded and said, "Okay, I know, you continue to observe the situation there, and report to me as soon as there is any change in these refugees." ”

"Yes!" The communication soldier saluted and was about to leave, but Cheng Lei said again: "Slow, let the command vehicle drive over immediately, I want to go to the command headquarters." ”

The communications soldier got the order to go, and Cheng Lei went home to change his clothes and then went out. After sitting in the command car, Cheng Lei had a lot of thoughts, and the country of Yitos, which was so powerful at the beginning, has now fallen. It is the second most powerful country in the Eastern world, and life is really impermanent, as the leader of one force, he must be cautious and cautious with every step. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover.

After Cheng Lei came to the headquarters, he happened to hear the conversation between Zheng Bin and Qi Mi, and Zheng Bin also asked Qi Mi to build a few porridge shacks outside the south gate and give some porridge and rice to those refugees. He also said that if these refugees starved to death in large numbers at the Lion King base, they would probably be scolded by others.

As soon as Cheng Lei entered the door, he said: "No need, what kind of porridge shed to build?" Arrange for people to find some vacant dwellings in the residential areas at once, and if they are occupied by those residents who have not been allocated, they will be ordered to vacate them immediately. If these houses are not enough for these people, I will immediately send people, and even if we send troops, we will build me temporary sheds that are enough for these people to live in, and resettle all these refugees! ”

Zheng Bin and Qi Mi were stunned after hearing this: Cheng Lei is not such a generous person, why is he treating these refugees so favorably now, these refugees are all people who drag their families with their families, although there are a lot of young and strong laborers, I am afraid that there are not many people who can join the army, because they are not from the Scorching Sun Federation after all, and if they join the army, I am afraid they need to be inspected and investigated.

Now Cheng Lei actually released his words to accept them all, isn't this taking a hot potato and stuffing it into his mouth? Must eat it?

Cheng Lei looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but be a little angry, angry that these two people, as the leaders of the Lion King Base, were still so weak in the overall situation: "Think about it, at most, in a few months, the equipment of the oil mine and the oil refinery will be completely complete, where will we recruit workers at that time?" Build a plant to install equipment, and then produce after completion, where is there no need for people? ”

"You actually drove the workers who came to the door, and I really convinced you! Have you forgotten how difficult it was when we recruited and recruited workers? At the beginning, those famine refugees from the south still relied on propaganda everywhere to join us, but now that we have the manpower to send them to the door, do we need to hesitate? Take it all! ”

Zheng Bin and Qi Mi also patted their heads and suddenly realized, yes, why didn't they think of it! I was thinking only about how to deal with these refugees, but not about whether to absorb them. For them, these refugees do not meet the requirements for them to join the army, but they are enough as workers.

Cheng Lei actually has nothing to say, and his plan has never been told to anyone. He also had to build a power plant at the Lion King base, which would require even more manpower. However, this requires the construction of all oil mines and refineries, and we will talk about it after we have enough abundant financial resources. (To be continued.) )
