The first tank armored car was finally refitted, using thick steel plates imported from the West and then purchased from Cité Soleil as reinforcement of the outer walls. The glass of the truck in front was removed, and a self-developed lookout scope was installed, surrounded by a thick steel plate.

The 530 battery on the car has been retrofitted and transformed, and it can shoot 360 degrees without dead angles. There are also two third-generation and latest-generation Akita heavy machine guns, which are now the most expensive and advanced in the West, bought from the black market in Sun City, and are installed at the front and rear of the car. And two sniper holes were left on the sides, so that the sniper could take care of the attack on both flanks and be foolproof.

Cheng Lei found eleven people to get on the bus, including himself and Zheng Bin. All the materials that should be used were also moved to the car, and Cheng Lei wanted to see if there were still people with so many steel plates and various guns, and the power of the car would be insufficient. If that happens, they can remedy it in time.

When they loaded the car with plenty of shells, bullets, gasoline, food and water, Zheng Bin started the car and slowly circled around the tuning workshop. Cheng Lei also tried it, but there is no shortage in terms of power, and other aspects are also very good, so that other vehicles can also start to modify work immediately.

The successful modification of the first tank gave them a hundred times more confidence, and now most of the craftsmen are very skilled after the modification of the first vehicle. The future modification work will be particularly smooth, because all the problems that need to be solved have been solved by them, and it can be said that there are no obstacles and difficulties at all.

Now Cheng Lei can breathe a sigh of relief, and Zheng Bin doesn't have to struggle on the front line of modification work all day long. The specific work is left to those craftsmen to do, and he only needs to direct and inspect the quality and progress of the work on the spot.

Yang Jishan is now the second commander other than Zheng Bin, but he has a much worse attitude towards the craftsmen than Zheng Bin. However, those craftsmen still ate his bite, and they all obeyed Yang Jishan. Cheng Lei felt that although Yang Jishan's approach was a bit rough, as long as it worked, after the construction of the arsenal at the base was completed, it would be good for Yang Jishan to serve as the director of the arsenal.

Now Yinta City is particularly lively, there are more than 1,000 refugees gathered near the gate of Yinta City, which Xing Chenghui brought them here to replenish the soldiers of the city guards. These people all heard that the soldiers here in Yinta City had food to eat, so they all came to Yinta City. And whether it is adults, children, women and the elderly, they all came to Silver Tower City in a swarm.

In addition to the thousands of refugees who wanted to be soldiers collected by Xing Chenghui, there were also two or three thousand people behind them. Most of these two or three thousand people are the parents, wives, brothers and sisters of these young people, and although there are many young and middle-aged people, they are all left to take care of the elderly or children.

The request of the thousands of young soldiers was that they could join the city guards of Silver Tower City, but they had to arrange these relatives behind them properly. Otherwise, even if they become soldiers, they will remember the family members who are still wandering outside and have no food and clothing, it is better to die together as a family if they are not soldiers.

Duke Duozan is worried now, of course the thousands of young soldiers are good, but now there is no spare place in Yinta City, where can he arrange these thousands of people? Could it be that he wants to build houses and various facilities for these people so that they can't live? If it costs that much, you might as well go to a place that specializes in training mercenaries and buy mercenaries!

Cheng Lei learned the news and immediately went to the Silver Tower. These people are chicken ribs for Duke Duozan, but they are treasures for Cheng Lei. Now the most lacking thing in the base is people, thousands of young soldiers are directly recruited into the army, and their two or three thousand relatives and friends can go to the residential area of the Lion King base.

Duke Duozan was worried, and when he saw Cheng Lei coming, he immediately had the spirit: "Mr. Cheng, you have the most ideas, come and help me think of a way." ”

Xing Chenghui is also in Yinta, probably because of this matter: "Yes, Mr. Cheng, I didn't expect it at the beginning. After bringing these young soldiers here, so many of their relatives and friends came to the door and asked for them to be resettled. There are so many burdens at once, and I am very worried. ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "I came here for this matter, Your Excellency Duke, have you decided to do these soldiers?" ”

"Don't do it!" Duke Dozan said categorically: "I have never heard of recruiting soldiers and bringing such a large list of relatives!" But now they are gathered outside the south gate, and they don't want to leave, what can they do! We can't send the city guards to drive them away, can we? If that's the case, the reputation of our Silver Tower City will plummet! ”

Cheng Lei said: "In that case, let these people be handed over to me!" ”

"Over to you?" Duke Duozan and Xing Chenghui both showed puzzled looks, and Duke Duozan said, "Can Mr. Cheng place all those oil bottles?" ”

Cheng Lei nodded and said, "You can be placed in the base, and I can also divide a part of the troops to His Excellency the Duke." ”

Duke Dozan was particularly surprised: "You mean, you can completely settle those relatives of theirs, and you can also give me a part of the young soldiers?" ”

"Yes, His Excellency the Duke is my closest friend, and I am now the second city lord of Silver Tower City, of course it is my duty!" Cheng Lei said confidently.

"That's great!" Duke Duozan said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Cheng has any requirements?" ”

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "His Excellency the Duke is really wise, without the help of His Excellency the Duke, I really can't bear so many people." My request was simple, and that was to give me a piece of land east of the base, so that I could allocate land to these people and give them something to eat. They live in the base, and they won't occupy the resources of Silver Tower City, how about it? ”

Duke Duozan agreed after a little thought: "Okay, Mr. Cheng, even if you don't help so much, I won't refuse if you speak." Just do that, and the 5,000 acres of land east of the base will be divided among you! "Those lands are actually wasteland, because they are too far away from Yinta City, so the people in Yinta City have no intention of going there to open up wasteland, and now it is cheaper for Cheng Lei.

Cheng Lei said with a smile: "Okay, tomorrow I will select three hundred people from those young soldiers and hand them over to His Excellency the Duke." Your Excellency, what do you think? ”

Cheng Lei was able to eliminate this trouble, which made Duke Duozan very happy, not to mention three hundred, even if it was a hundred, it would be a surprise. Duke Duozan agreed, and Cheng Lei then said goodbye because he still had too much to do.

The next day, Cheng Lei went to the south gate of Yinta City to read out the decision of Yinta City to those refugees. Now that he has the identity of the second city lord of Silver Tower City, he speaks much more forcefully than before.

Everything came according to Cheng Lei's plan, and 300 people were separated from the young soldiers and handed over to Xi Ling. Xi Ling now has an inexplicable feeling when she looks at Cheng Lei's eyes, which Cheng Lei feels by chance.

The relatives of the recruits were escorted to the base by a team of city guards sent by Xi Ling, and when they arrived at the base, Pan Jin and Qi Mi arranged for them. Cheng Lei had already sent someone to send them an order the night before, asking them to properly settle these people. Accompanying these people to the base, there were also tents, quilts, clothes, and other daily necessities that Cheng Lei asked Zheng Bin to buy overnight, which were pulled by dozens of carriages and went to the base together.

More than 700 recruits were brought back to the camp by Li Changcheng, and now the work of the recruit training camp has become very professional, and Cheng Lei believes that it will not take Li Changcheng to train all these recruits to become qualified soldiers in less than two months.

Because these soldiers were obtained purely by accident, Cheng Lei asked Zheng Bin to arrange food and accommodation and other daily necessities for them, which made Zheng Bin so busy that he was almost tired. Cheng Lei had already ordered another batch of guns, artillery and ammunition from Xing Chenghui, and Xing Chenghui said that he would be able to reach Yinta City within half a month. With this batch of guns, the shooting training of the recruits will not be left behind, and Cheng Lei will be relieved.

Cheng Lei went to the training class of the armored company to take a look, and Yin Kaicheng was giving a lecture to the more than 100 armored company reservists. It starts with the construction of the tanks in their camp and ends until these soldiers are fully proficient in all the guns and driving of tanks and armored vehicles.

Yin Kaicheng prepared a theoretical course for a month and a half from the beginning, and the practical course was scheduled for a longer time. Moreover, they have to maintain all kinds of physical training in peacetime, and Yin Kaicheng wants to train these soldiers not only as armored soldiers, but also with various skills and abilities of special forces.

Even if it can't reach the level of these professional special forces, it must be at the level of the professional reconnaissance company scouts in the previous world, which is part of all Yin Kaicheng's plans.

Since you want to set up an armored company, you have to look like an armored company. Although Yin Kaicheng had not spent much time in the armored company before, he was very proficient in tanks and armored vehicles. Moreover, he is the most proficient person in the operation of various ordnance among all the people in the Lion King Squadron, so he has a lot of confidence in training these armored soldiers.

After these armored soldiers are trained, Yin Kaicheng will definitely serve as the supreme commander of the company. Cheng Lei also promised Yin Kaicheng that in the future, he would definitely purchase some trucks to transform them into tank armored vehicles, at least to build a regiment-level armored force. Yin Kaicheng listened to Cheng Lei's promise and became even more confident, and he had to have nearly 100 tanks to become a regiment-level armored force.

Now their armored company may already be the first armored unit in this world, if it can reach the quantity and quality of regimental armored troops, I am afraid that there will be no opponents in this world at all!
