Chapter 51 Sheltering Refugees
Cheng Lei suddenly thought now that if the Balon'ou people really took Silverstone City and Vientiane City, then the ordinary people of Yinta City would definitely be in chaos. If they want to enter the Lion King base to seek protection, does Cheng Lei want to take them in? If you don't take it in, it will make people think that the Lion King Army and the Lion King Base are too cold-blooded, and if you take it in, Duke Dozan will definitely be very dissatisfied.
Cheng Lei and Duke Duozan are the closest partners and good friends, and he doesn't want Duke Duozan to feel that he relies on the military superiority of the Lion King's base to accept the civilians of Silver Tower City. It's a very contradictory question, what should be done?
At this time, the communication soldiers came to report that tens of thousands of civilians from Silverstone City and Vientiane City were coming in the direction of the Lion King base. Moreover, the communication soldier also said that the reconnaissance team of the Lion King Army came to report that there were many civilians who escaped from the two city-states and fled in the direction of the Lion King base, Daheng City, and several southern city-states.
Cheng Lei's head suddenly became a little bigger, and he just thought about what to do if there were civilians in Yinta City who fled over, and immediately a large number of civilians from Silverstone City and Vientiane City fled. What now?
At this time, Zheng Bin broke in: "It's broken, it's broken, Lao Cheng." A lot of refugees are coming, should we take them in or not? If we take it in, we don't have that many houses! ”
Cheng Lei frowned: "Lao Zheng, you immediately take a look at how many houses are still in the residential area and how many people can be accommodated." Let's take a look at how many of our tents we still have before. Also, let's take a look at our stock of food and other supplies to see how many people we can admit in, and we must have a plan. ”
Zheng Bin is also the first two big now: "Okay, but I think we probably don't have so many houses now, and there won't be a lot of grain stored before, because our Lion King base doesn't produce food." ”
"Now we can only do things depending on our ability, there is no way, Lao Zheng, I think now we can ask Daheng City to transfer a batch of grain to come over, otherwise we will not accept any of these civilians, because we have no such obligation!" Cheng Lei finally made a decision.
Zheng Bin nodded: "The big war is coming, we can only do this, although we feel sorry for those civilians, but we really have no choice!" ”
Half a day passed, and thousands of civilians who had fled from Silverstone City and Vientiane City gathered outside the Lion King's base. They are all shouting to the Lion King Base, hoping that the Lion King Base can accept them, and they are really desperate now. These few thousand people were only a small part of the fleeing civilians, and most of them fled to Daheng City and several cities in the south, because they felt that places such as Daheng City were farther away and safer from the front line of Silverstone.
And these people who asked the Lion King Base to take them in were people who knew the strength of some of the Lion King Army, and they were more confident in the Lion King Army, so they did not continue to flee south, but hoped to take refuge in the Lion King Base. However, the current food and materials of the Lion King Base are not very abundant, so Cheng Lei and Zheng Bin can only be cautious and cautious about these people.
Daheng City directly rejected the Lion King's request for food, and Cheng Lei's heart was very unhappy, but he was immediately relieved. Because when Jin Jie came to ask Cheng Lei to send troops before, Cheng Lei did not pretend to him. Now Daheng City must be a tooth for a tooth, but Cheng Lei did not panic, but directly sent someone to Yinta City. There is nothing that Daheng City does not give food, and it is impossible for the Duke of Duozan not to give food, because even if they are not the closest partners, Silver Tower City is still counting on the Lion King Army to rescue them when the crisis comes!
As Cheng Lei expected, Duke Duozan was really generous, because the plain area west of Yinta City was a small granary nearby, so Yinta City was not short of food at all. The food stored in Yinta City can support the soldiers and civilians in the city for at least half a year or even a year. After Duke Duozan received Cheng Lei's request for food, he immediately sent people to deliver grain to the Lion King base day and night, making sure to ensure the food supply of the Lion King base.
Of course, Cheng Lei couldn't put all this pressure on Yinta City's shoulders, and he also asked Xing Chenghui to contact Yituosi Country. Now Itos was in dire need of gold and silver to buy the materials they needed to rebuild their homes, and their food stocks were particularly abundant, so the Tao led to a situation where money was expensive and food was cheap. Cheng Lei directly asked Xing Chenghui to contact him, he wanted to buy food, and the more the merrier, he didn't believe it, if he left Daheng City, the people in their Lion King base would starve to death!
The reconstruction of Itos has been carried out one after another, and the previous invasion of Balonou has caused a devastating blow to the country, so the various materials and materials needed for the reconstruction work are also very large. Among them, of course, there is a necessary necessity for the construction of important buildings, cement. And now the cement plant of the Lion King base is in full swing, and all the financial resources of the Lion King base are also coming from here, if there is no cement plant, I am afraid that the Lion King base will not last for a month, or even half a month.
Cheng Lei did not go to the aircraft test site once for a few months after the successful test flight, because he was very relieved of the work of Zheng Bin and the Dieter brothers. However, Zheng Bin will report to Cheng Lei on the progress of the work at the aircraft test site every day, and give feedback to Cheng Lei on all the details. Cheng Lei knows that twelve fighter jets have been manufactured in the aircraft test site, all of which have been completed with the efforts of hundreds of people in the entire aircraft test site, of course, the biggest contributors are Zheng Bin and the Dieter brothers, and the energy they have invested in the aircraft test site is incomparable to everyone. Cheng Lei also asked the Dieter brothers to train pilots immediately, and strive to enable the trained pilots to fly independently within a month.
And Cheng Lei asked them to train not just a little bit of pilots, but hundreds of pilots. From this point of view, Cheng Lei's appetite is very large, if two pilots are arranged as the main and co-pilots for a plane, hundreds of pilots also need 50 planes to satisfy. Fifty planes, now that the twelve planes are about to spend all the belongings of the Lion King base, does Cheng Lei still want to continue to produce aircraft? Zheng Bin and Qi Mi both came to Cheng Lei's office to inquire about this matter, because they felt that this matter was too big to tolerate sloppiness. Cheng Lei looked very angry, and seemed to hate the two of them.
"Why don't you two want to think about it? Isn't it for thinking when you have a brain? Now that Balonou has more and more troops on the west side of Silverstone, Silverstone will soon be overwhelmed. And I got the news from Kong Long and Kong Hu that the tank production line of the Western Empire had also started a month earlier. If Balen'o had bought tanks from the Western Empire, he would certainly not have bought a small amount, and our superiority in armor would have been lost. Cheng Lei gestured while talking.
"Do you want our troops of six or seven thousand men to go head-to-head with the sixty or seventy thousand men that Balon'o has now withdrawn from the southern battlefield? And in the absence of any technological superiority, can we really fight with them based on tactics and the quality of soldiers? Why am I so desperate to produce as many planes as possible, because Baleno's army is pressuring, you know? ”
Qi Mi and Zheng Bin let Cheng Lei scold him, if you want to talk about military affairs, the two of them really have no comparison with Cheng Lei. Zheng Bin stubbornly asked cautiously: "Old Cheng, are you saying that we need to quickly build up an air force with sufficient numbers to deal with the upcoming Balun'o army?" ”
"It's not coping, it's confrontation!" Cheng Lei corrected him and said: "I want us to have the most advanced mobile force before their army arrives, and we can quickly strike at the enemy." And the plane is our biggest trump card, as long as we build up a fighter unit and have enough fighters, we don't have to be afraid of them at all! No matter how many tens of thousands of people come, it's just buns for us to bomb! ”
Qi Mi was a little unconvinced: "Tens of thousands of people, let dozens of planes bomb? Isn't that too mysterious? ”
Cheng Lei said impatiently: "The air force will cooperate with the attack on the ground, and then send surprise soldiers to cover them up when the enemy is in turmoil." This is the absolutely correct strategy, and if you don't believe me, read more military books! ”
Qi Mi said helplessly: "I don't lead soldiers, what are you doing reading military books, I just listen to you if there is anything, captain." ”
Cheng Lei glared and said: "From now on, all the funds of the base will fully and unconditionally support the work of the aircraft test site, if anyone dares to disobey, I will make due punishment!" It is the officers who make the punishment of demotion or even dismissal, and it is the soldier who makes the punishment of confiscation of military pay or even confinement! From now on, everything in the base will have to give way to the aircraft test site, even if we dig oil mines now and don't build refineries, we will make planes for me! That's our bottom line! Because if there are no planes, our Lion King base may not be able to be saved, and if the base can't be saved, what is the use of us building those things? ”
After the food from Yinta City was continuously delivered, Cheng Lei asked people to open the gate of the Lion King Base and let all the civilians in. However, they must be carefully screened once they enter, so as not to have spies or spies buried inside. Cheng Lei specially sent a few members of the original squadron to conduct screening and appraisal in person, because when they were in the Lion King squadron, they had learned everything about the screening of spies and the placement of prisoners, which was much more powerful than the newly recruited soldiers after coming to this world.
After several screenings, three particularly suspicious people were escorted to the cells of the Lion King's base. Since the construction of the underground cell of the Lion King's base, there has not been a single person here, and now someone is going to start this!
The mouths of the three people all shouted "wronged", whether they were spies or not, they didn't want the Lion King Army to be arrested as spies. How can the soldiers under Cheng Lei be soft, especially the few players who followed all the way. They were directly escorted to the cell, where there were all kinds of torture instruments and other things, which scared the three guys very much.
"Say, say it early, live early, what kind of place are you? Why be a spy? A prison chief asked solemnly.
The three of them still shouted that they were wronged, but this time there was nothing to say, and the prison guards under the prison director beat the three of them so badly that they were all a little dying. When they reported the situation to Qi Mi, Qi Mi scolded them, and there was a punishment that followed. Qi Mi personally went to the cell to see the state of the three people, Qi Mi found Zheng Bin again, and the two of them carried out intensive psychological work on them, which went smoothly, and the three of them were successfully moved by Zheng Bin's words, and they were really spies who mixed in.
Zheng Bin may have a way out for them, but the condition is that they tell Zheng Bin all the strength and distribution of the Baron'ou army. They all readily agreed, and drew all the distribution of the forces of the Baron's army on the map. Zheng Bin sent someone to send them out of the Lion King base, and their life and death had nothing to do with the Lion King Army in the future.
However, it was a coincidence that when the leader of the Tieji tribe, the eldest prince Chongshan, went out to play and hunt, he found three people who were trying to hurry on the grassland. He thought that these three people would be bandits on the grassland, so he ordered his men to drive armored tanks, and he himself shot the three of them one by one with a sniper rifle in the tank. Zheng Bin is no wonder about the ending of this matter, because this is an emergency, and no one can predict and stop it.
As for those who have successfully entered the Lion King base, of course Cheng Lei has his own arrangements, and it will take some energy to arrange all these people, otherwise Lei will leave it all to Qi Mi to do. And let Qi Mi announce to them that if there is anyone who wants to play for the Lion King Base, they can go to the Human Resources Department of the Lion King Base to report, and they will arrange jobs for the newcomers according to the actual situation.
If they don't want to go to work, then the Lion King base can only provide them with food that barely makes ends meet. Because there is no such thing as eating lunch in vain, if you want to eat well and be full, then you must go to work, which is the rule set by Cheng Lei. From the time the Lion King Base was put into use until now, this rule has been very effective and has not been broken.
So the new young laborers have signed up to go to the factories and logistics and other places, and they all know that labor can produce white food, so they are also very hard. They are also much more relieved now, because the Lion King Base can keep themselves and their families safe, which is the most important thing. Because even if you live in a precarious place, you can't eat bran as if you live in a particularly safe and secure place. After all, human life comes first, and it is better to die than to live, not to mention that none of them feel that their current life is to live. (To be continued.) )
