Act 102 The search for a new mining area
The population of the cuckoo district was only 3 million, so Chen Tu did not plan to expand the new troops, but only needed to make up for the 10,000 lost by the three troops. Those who are of the right age can be trained as reserves, so that they can not affect the production of the cuckoo area.
Chen Tu knows very well that war is all about resources. If this battle had not been for the rain of so many shells, the cuckoo would have been lost long ago.
The battle situation of the whole moon ink is not very clear, and it has not yet reached the feeling of clearing the clouds.
After Chen Tu handed over the task of preparing for the war to Rat Da and Randy, he returned to Carman alone. The first thing he did when he returned to Kaman was to report the recent combat situation to the high command.
"I didn't expect this Chen Tu to really have two hits." Lei Xiu, who was in charge of the work in the Yuemo region, couldn't help but praise after receiving the battle report from Chen Tu.
"Chen Tu? How I haven't heard of it. Earl Marcus, Marshal of Tianyu, who was also sitting at the headquarters, asked suspiciously.
"Oh, Chen Tu was once a member of our air force, received the 'Order of the Eagle' from the Empire, and now serves as the administrator of the Yuemo Valley District. This morning, our young commander sent a battle report. ”
Lei Xiu handed the paper battle report in his hand to Marcus, which stated the number of people who had annihilated the enemy army in Moon Mo during these battles. The conspicuous numbers also dazzled Mascu's eyes.
Although the Moon Mo enemy army is not worth mentioning in Mascu's heart, it is also remarkable to be able to do this.
"An outstanding commander indeed." Mascu put the battle report on the table and praised. In Mascu's eyes, the Medal of the Eagle must be awarded to those officers who have entered middle age and have rich command experience, and it is understandable that such a remarkable achievement can be obtained. Of course, if Mascu knew Chen Tu's age, he would have been surprised.
Lei Xiu was not prepared to share the details of Chen Tu with Mascu, although the two were superiors and subordinates, but Lei Xiu and Mascu were not officers of the same faction.
Chen Tu is already considered Lei Xiu's person, and it is not a shrewd plan to hand over his capable subordinates to others.
Musku didn't continue the discussion in this report, and instead talked about the battle with the Light.
"In these two days, we lost three cities. His Majesty's intention is to avoid the war, to gradually disintegrate the will of the Light. However, in this way, the pressure we face will also be very high. ”
"No one knows Tianyu's national strength better than Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the supplies keep up, we can counterattack at any time." Lei Xiu said.
"There's nothing wrong with it at the moment, but you know it. Your Majesty......" Mascu said faintly worried.
"Could it be Your Majesty's body......" Lei Xiu's relaxed expression was completely gone, and his face became solemn, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it. But when I think about it, His Majesty Haast is only sixty-three years old, and it is when he is old and strong, and there should be no major problems. Marcus said he knew, but Raychel couldn't think clearly.
"Count Marcus, I really don't know." Lei Xiu said with a wry smile.
Lei Xiu is a few years older than Marcus, and the positions of the two are not much different, so Marcus still respects Lei Xiu very much.
"Could it be that Brother Lei Xiu really doesn't know?"
"What else are we two brothers selling?" Lei Xiu said.
"I also have hearsay about this, but when I have seen His Majesty privately on several occasions, His Majesty has been accompanied by court doctors on both sides. However, I hope there will be no surprises at this juncture. ”
Lei Xiu, who heard the news, had already thought about it several times in his heart. However, he still smiled on the surface and said: "What can this be, when you are old, who will not have a cold." Don't Your Majesty's heart here. ”
After reporting on the situation of the war, Chen Tu, accompanied by Demork, inspected the work of various departments. Now than usual, any work must be carried out consistently and consistently, so as to ensure that the cuckoo area is always in its heyday.
"With the help of assistants sent by the Administration Department at Xinyi Farm, a comprehensive census of the population of the Cuckoo district has been completed in recent times. There are now a total of 3,243,100 people in Cuckoo District. ”
"The Ministry of Finance has taken control of the stable issuance of credit coupons, which has curbed inflation very well. The populace of the Cuckoo district now accepts the use of old coins with credit coupons. ”
"The Security Department is also reorganizing its existing personnel in accordance with your instructions, Your Excellency the Governor. Our reservists have also reached 50,000 rats. ”
After the inspection, Democr made a general report on the work of the various offices during this period. Even though Chen Tu was not personally involved in managing these reports, after listening to these reports, he had a general understanding of the existing work in the Cuckoo District.
"Very good, we can't let our guard down, maybe the Moon Mo army will make a comeback one day. Moreover, there is also the behemoth of the Jindi family that has not moved, and we are still surrounded by tigers, and there is a possibility of mutations at any time. ”
Even in such a war environment, the infrastructure construction in the cuckoo area has not stopped. A crossrail network centered on Kaman is gradually taking shape. Once completed, it will greatly promote the transportation and economic development of the cuckoo area.
For the next trip to the house, Chen Tu deliberately chose to take the train. This mode of transportation, once popular with humans, still plays an extremely important role in the land of rats.
The house city, as the center of gravity of the industry in the cuckoo district, can be said to be the heart of the cuckoo district. This place didn't even appear once in the report submitted to Tianyu. From this, we can see that this place is very important to Chen Tu.
Of course, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and Chen Tu's deliberate concealment is just to delay the awareness of outsiders about the housing city, so as to give the Cuckoo District a stable growth period.
Zhulu is also busy these days, and as the person in charge of the house, he has no less things to deal with every day than Democr. Moreover, Democr has a lot of talents around him, but Zhulu does not have a capable assistant around him, so he must do everything himself.
"Welcome to the Governor's inspection." Seeing Chen Tu coming, Zhulu put his right hand on his chest and performed a standard aristocratic etiquette.
Without waiting for the bamboo deer to bend to the end, Chen Tu hurriedly stepped forward to support the bamboo deer.
"Brother Zhulu, this is tormenting me, and I am not an outsider, why should I care about these etiquette."
Zhulu laughed: "After all, you are my top boss, no matter how you say it, you have to be respectful." How long do you want to stay when you go back to the house this time? ”
Since the administrative capital of the Cuckoo district was moved to Kaman, Chen Tu rarely lived in the house city. There are too many things going on in the cuckoo area, and Chen Tu can't get out of the way.
"As long as the situation eases, let's work in the house city for the time being." Chen Tu said.
"Okay, your residence hasn't been cleaned these days, and it's estimated that it's all covered with a layer of dust, so I'll order someone to clean it for you."
"I am living in the house town this time, mainly for the industrial development of the house city. The mineral resources of our housing city are still insufficient, and more mines need to be developed to support it. ”
Zhulu feels that this matter is a little difficult to do, there are many mountains in the Cuckoo District, and a lot of resources have been discovered in the recent period, but they are all source crystal mines. There are almost no metal resource ores, and those found are also unmineable, the content is too small, and the mining cost is too large.
"It's just that we have also sent survey teams in many places in the cuckoo area, and their equipment can be said to be the most advanced among the rats, but they have achieved very little in terms of metal minerals." Takeka voiced his concerns.
"We still have inspections around us, right?" Chen Tu did not answer this question directly, but asked Zhulu instead.
"The fourth team of the Housing Exploration Bureau is resting in the housing area." Without asking others, Zhulu directly said the news.
"Well, I know of a place, in the mountains of Labria, where there are rich mineral resources. We can start by sending a fourth team with equipment to explore where to go. ”
"You mean the Variny district?" Zhulu said with some uncertainty.
"Exactly there." Chen Tu continued. "Part of the Labria Mountains is now under our control, and the other part is under the control of the Moon Mo family. However, our troops are stationed there, so there is no need to worry about being taken there. I will also order the troops to cooperate with the exploration team while keeping them safe. ”
"Well, I'll then end the leave of Team 4 and send them to Labria."
Chen Tu nodded, he stood up, made himself a cup of tea, and returned to his place.
"By the way, how is the production of Yacheng Machinery now?"
"Our monthly production has reached 2,000 cars and 300 tanks, which is just our regular production, and we can expand it at any time if we want. With the exception of a few components, everything else is self-sufficient. ”
"The alloys produced in our smelter are fully compliant with the performance tests, and I believe that in the near future, those few components will be able to be produced independently."
Hearing this, Chen Tu nodded with satisfaction. Only by being independent can we not be held back by others. However, there has always been a hard flaw in the house city that has not been solved, because the economic model here is completely a blood transfusion economy.
If it weren't for the help of the companies run by Yin Ying, the house would not have developed at all. The other is research and development, and none of the means of production of the housing city are made by the housing city itself, and all of them are copied from the crystal network. This group of engineers in the house town has not yet grown up.
These engineers also need a considerable period of study to accept human knowledge in order to be able to grow.
The ultimate goal of Chen Tu is to build a country, and this is not just empty talk, just talk. In this process, Chen Tu did not mind using the conventional weapons of human warfare at all, not these "old antiques".
Of course, there is a big problem with this. The first is the source of funding, even in the human world, the amount of money spent on forming an army is very enormous. Second, it needs to be legal. Although the machine has penetrated into the life of human beings, owning a machine is not subject to the law.
However, as a complete social system, human laws have strict regulations on the quantity, level, and weapons to be mounted on the purchase of machine kai. Wanting to arm the army is simply a fantasy. Another important reason is that the cockpit of the machine and the spacecraft is completely unsuitable for rat operation. Unless it is custom-made, these cutting-edge weapons of humans are a pile of scrap metal to rats.
In contrast, it is most appropriate to develop these "toys". The rats have engineers, and the house town has so much industrial equipment. And if you import some materials from the human zone, you don't have to worry about being regulated at all.
