Chapter Ninety-Three: Boss Zhou's Dilemma
A few days later, Cheng Lei issued a new order, ordering the establishment of the Lion King Base Expansion Team with the Lion King Base Infrastructure Corps as the main body and many newly recruited civilian workers as supplements. The expansion team has a total of nearly 1,000 people, all equipped with the latest machinery and construction equipment, and they are responsible for the expansion of the Lion King base. This is a very heavy task, and the expansion of the Lion King base is a very huge project, because according to what Cheng Lei discussed with Mo Geda at the beginning, they will not be completed until the 768 position.
From the Lion King base to the 768 position, there is a total distance of dozens of kilometers, and just using the fence to enclose this plot is a particularly troublesome thing. And the cost is simply astronomical, of course, for the current Lion King base. Zheng Bin and Qi Mi both questioned Cheng Lei, because they were not prepared to build such a big city at all, but Cheng Lei wanted to build such a large base, which was several times or even ten times larger than their previous base, which was simply shocking.
But Cheng Lei didn't think so, because in his heart, the Lion King Base was going to expand into a very large city in the future, so the current expansion was just the first step. Zheng Bin and Qi Mi's conservatism made him scoff, but he also felt that he was a little presumptuous now, so he temporarily set the target of the expansion half a kilometer east of the Tieji tribe station. In other words, the Lion King base will extend more than ten kilometers of land to the west.
In this way, Zheng Bin, Qi Mi and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because this was still acceptable. Cheng Lei specially assigned a group of veteran construction workers, about 100 people, to the 768 position to strengthen and renovate the 768 position. Cheng Lei's idea is to truly build the 768 position into a bridgehead from the Liedong Federation to the west. Now that Position 768 had crossed the swampy meadows to the south of the canyon fortress, the westward exit of the Liedong Federation had been built by Mogoda and stationed hundreds of troops. If anything unexpected happens, these hundreds of people can resist the fortress for a while, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Cheng Lei also means this, directly build the 768 position into a place that is very easy to hold, and then if someone attacks, it can not be taken so quickly. In fact, Cheng Lei insisted on taking the 768 position at the beginning, in fact, he had a lot of selfishness, he wanted the Lion King Base to monopolize the 768 position, and let the 768 position become a toll station model. But now it seems that his original idea was a little naΓ―ve, and this model obviously does not work.
Cheng Lei's future plan has come out, but only he knows it, because he doesn't want too many people to know that it will be inadvertently revealed in the future. His planning idea was that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he would ask for land from Mogoda, and then start from the current station of the Tieji tribe ten kilometers west to the land outside the east gate of the Lion King's base. The south side starts from the north side of the Everglades and continues north to Silver Tower City. At that time, it is best to be able to connect with Silver Tower City, if you can convince Duke Duozan, it is the best, and directly let Silver Tower City join the Lion King base. In this way, their area will be very large, and Cheng Lei's goal of building a new type of very large city will be very close.
Moreover, there is also a bandit mountain in the territory of the former Scorching Sun Federation, which is now the Balun'u colony, covering an area of about 100 square kilometers, which is also their territory. Therefore, it is not very difficult for Cheng Lei to realize that wish, but if he wants to realize his wish, the most important thing is to make their Lion King Army absolutely strong. In this way, if it doesn't work, it is not impossible to directly use the military to exert strong pressure or directly rob it.
If the army needs to be strong, then the Lion King's army is now carrying out a very good outfit operation. Because they have begun to distribute the imitation AK-47 automatic rifle named by Cheng Lei called "SW-1" to the soldiers of each regiment one after another. And from the regiment commander downwards, everyone is learning how to use this gun and other details. This gun also won everyone's praise, because after all, it is an automatic rifle, and it is still made after the magic gun in their previous world, and of course there will be no mistakes.
Cheng Lei is now also accustomed to picking up this gun and leaving when there is an emergency, he loves this gun very much, and as the commander of the Lion King Army, he also got special treatment. His SW-1 automatic rifle is the first prototype handmade by the Lion King Base Arsenal, and it is also the most elaborate one. That's why Cheng Lei loves this gun very much, he disassembles and assembles this gun every day when he thinks about problems, he also corrects the sights by himself, and wipes all parts of the gun spotlessly.
In a world where single-shot rifles are commonly used, even ordinary submachine guns are very rare, and the sudden appearance of such automatic rifles will probably become a huge leap in the history of world weapons. Therefore, Cheng Lei told all his subordinates to maintain absolute secrecy, and never let this gun fall into the hands of any other force. Otherwise, if they want to imitate it, of course, it is very convenient, and then the superiority of the Lion King's firearms will be gone.
No, Cheng Lei also knows that this kind of thing can't be hidden for a long time, I'm afraid that it won't take a few months for the invention of this gun to appear and let other forces know, and it is certain that they will come to ask the Lion King Army for the production method of this gun. No, Cheng Lei will find a way to bargain with them when the time comes, he will not be stupid enough to give away his achievements like that, that is something that only a fool can do.
A new batch of fighters has been manufactured, and there are more than 20 of them in this batch, and Cheng Lei selected 15 of them and handed them over to the people sent by Dahengcheng. And Dahengcheng took out a high price of 80,000 gold victors per plane, which simply made Cheng Lei feel that it was worth the money! He was very desperate to sell some more planes to Dahengcheng, because this deal was too good value. Even if you count the R&D expenses in the early stage and the materials and labor for manufacturing the aircraft, the cost of each aircraft is only a few thousand gold victors, which is still the result of all the projects being included.
Now this result has multiplied so much, it's simply too much value for money! Cheng Lei was very pleased, if he sold them some more planes, if they could still pay this price, Cheng Lei would not mind selling half of the current Lion King Army's air force brigade to them! If they really have such a big appetite, all the expenses and expenses of the Lion King Base in the near future will not be worrying at all, and it will be enough to use only the money they have from selling the plane!
In the residential area of the Lion King Base, some ordinary people are gathering together, clamoring and not knowing what they are talking about. These ordinary people were all gathered together, and in the middle were two middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, and the two of them were constantly arguing.
One of the black-faced middle-aged men shouted, "Zhou Xing! What the hell do you mean, you have already told me that you will marry your daughter to my son. I, the matchmaker, also invited you to drink the engagement wine, you can't do it if you say no, isn't this a trick on me? Why, do you think that there is no one in our old Zeng family? Tell you, your old boy has only been here for a few days at the Lion King Base, and our Lao Zeng family has dozens of strong people, and they came when the Lion King Base was just started! Do you want to try the power of our old Zeng family? β
Behind the black-faced middle-aged man, a few strong young men were also shouting: "That's right, what do you think is wrong with no one in our old Zeng family?" Don't you want to do it on this street anymore! If you don't give an explanation, you'll smash your pastry shop! β
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou had a bitter look on his face and begged them: "Brother Zeng, I really didn't mean that. I especially hope that our two families can succeed, but my little girl can't make it, she doesn't agree to this marriage at all. If I forcibly marry her, she will hang herself and threaten me, alas, I really can't help it, Brother Zeng. β
The middle-aged man surnamed Zeng said with a bored face: "Your daughter doesn't listen to you, that's your problem, but if you regret marriage, that's a problem related to the face of our Zeng family!" Do you know, my nephew is a deputy sheriff in this residential police station, if he knows about this, I'm afraid your store won't have to open in the future! You can do it yourself, and tomorrow you must give me a satisfactory answer, otherwise I will not let you go! Walk! After finishing speaking, the black-faced middle-aged man left with the young men and swaggered.
The middle-aged man surnamed Zhou returned to his pastry shop with a gloomy face, closed the door and found a stool to sit down. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, alas, how did he give birth to such a worry-free daughter. He is the boss of the Spring Pastry Shop in Yinta City, that is, Mousse's father, because of the very nervous form of Yinta City before, he was almost in a state of fighting, so the pastry shop in Yinta City was particularly sluggish.
The money they earn is often almost impossible to pay the rent, and they are always eating their old money. However, the old Ben is getting thinner and thinner, and due to the approaching war, the prices in Yinta City are getting higher and higher, and their lives are becoming more and more miserable. It was at this time that Boss Zhou heard that the civilians in the Lion King Base were living quite well, and they generally had money on hand, so he had the idea that if he went to the Lion King Base to open a pastry shop, the business should be good.
So he took Mousse and the young man and all the equipment for making pastries to the Lion King base. However, the current access qualifications of the Lion King Base are not easy to obtain, and Boss Zhou spent a lot of money to buy the official identity of the Lion King Base Residential Area from a person with some power in the residential registration office, so that he was able to settle down here.
After coming to the Lion King base, it was confirmed that his previous idea was still good, because his pastry shop began to flourish again. Because of the delicious and inexpensive pastries he made, as well as the kind of high-end pastries for gifts, his pastry shop suddenly became a sought-after object for people in the residential area of the Lion King base. Due to the booming business of the pastry shop, Boss Zhou made the cake shop like the hottest business in the Lion King base in just two months, which made him very happy.
Because of the fame of the spring pastry shop and the fact that it is so profitable, many people are quite eye-catching. Of course, some people inquired that Boss Zhou only has one daughter, so as long as he pokers his daughter, then this popular pastry shop will not become his son-in-law's? So the threshold of the pastry shop was about to be broken, and they were all people who came to propose to Mu Si. At the beginning, Boss Zhou refused because he knew what Mu Si was thinking, and he knew that there were people in Mu Si's heart. It's just that because he was confused for a while at that time, he rejected Cheng Lei's proposal, and then by mistake, after Cheng Lei married Qinglan, Boss Zhou didn't think about it anymore. As for now, Cheng Lei already has two wives and children, and it is impossible for Boss Zhou to work Cheng Lei.
Therefore, Boss Zhou can't stand the advice of so many matchmakers, and he is also thinking that Mu Si can't never marry for the rest of his life, right? Then now is a very good time, because now is the time for a large number of people to propose, and he just took this opportunity to choose a fast son-in-law for Mu Si, otherwise there will be no store in this village! But after discussing with Mu Si, Mu Si didn't agree to it, so Boss Zhou had to make his own decisions and contact the middle-aged man surnamed Zeng.
Boss Zhou thinks that the Zeng family is a big family that settled here when the Lion King Base was first built, and many people in their family work for the Lion King Base. The highest-ranking one is now a chief in charge of the logistics department of the Lion King base, and in the case of the army, he is a major. And there is another one in front of him, that is, a deputy sergeant of the residential police station who was once said by a middle-aged man surnamed Zeng, with the rank of lieutenant, but this is a real power position, and it is definitely possible to call the wind and rain in the residential area.
Because in addition to the chief and the two deputy chiefs of the police station in the residential area, only six sergeants and six deputy sergeants are the most powerful. As long as it is the security affairs in the residential area, there is nothing they can't manage, and those sergeants and deputy sergeants often wear a pair of pants to offend one deputy sergeant, I am afraid it is equivalent to offending all twelve chief and deputy sergeants, which is almost like stabbing a hornet's nest.
Boss Zhou is worried about this, if the deputy director of the Zeng family wants to make trouble for himself, he can close his pastry shop for a random reason, which he absolutely does not want to see. But Mu Si's attitude was very resolute, at that time she may have really underestimated Mu Si's determination, she simply wanted to marry Cheng Lei without hesitation, if she didn't marry Cheng Lei, she would rather be single for a lifetime or die than marry someone else. This stubborn mentality, Boss Zhou doesn't know who she is with, but he also admires Mu Si, this daughter is affectionate!
But now it is he who is embarrassed, and now the Zeng family really won't let him go, if he can't give them a reasonable answer tomorrow, I'm afraid that his store will be smashed by them! Anyway, if there are people on top of people, even if they smash your store, they won't be caught. What to do? What to do? Boss Zhou was so anxious that he walked around the store, but he didn't come up with any good way for a long time. (To be continued.) )
