Although the robbers retreated, the wounds left to Aqiu City were very great, and from this point of view, even if the war was won, Aqiu City would still be a loser.

Due to excessive fatigue, Liu Yi fainted just after the end of the battle and slept for more than ten hours before waking up.

The first person Liu Yi saw after waking up turned out to be Lu Gang, not Shangguan Qi or Ke Rin, which was somewhat unexpected by Liu Yi.

Liu Yi looked around and found himself lying in a white room, probably somewhere in the hospital, and Lu Gang was sitting across from his bed.

"Why are you here?" Liu Yi asked in surprise.

Lu Gang smiled and said, "I just came, they all went out, and it just so happened that you woke up at this time, didn't it affect you?" ”

Liu Yi shook his head and continued to ask, "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It's probably more than ten hours, it looks like you're really tired."

Liu Yi did not deny this, he commanded the whole battle in Yaqiu City this time, and he had to take into account everything from beginning to end, which was not a small consumption of brain power.

After this war, Liu Yi deeply felt the need for artificial intelligence, and the empire's armies all had powerful artificial intelligence to participate in the command of the war, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with such a complex war.

Compared with those large-scale interstellar wars, the war in Yaqiu City is almost too small, but such a war is enough to completely exhaust a person, if the scale is larger, Liu Yi simply can't imagine it.

Lu Gang saw that Liu Yi's eyes were a little dull, and knew that he must not have fully recovered, so he said: "You have a good rest these days, and I will come to you after you are discharged from the hospital." After speaking, Lu Gang stood up and planned to leave.

Liu Yi looked at Lu Gang's appearance as if he hadn't finished speaking, so he stopped Lu Gang and asked, "Wait, you must have something to do today, you might as well say it now." ”

"Forget it, I'll talk about it when you recover, and I'm not in a hurry anyway." After Lu Gang finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.

Liu Yi watched Lu Gang walk out of the room, and couldn't help but wonder a little in his heart, what did this Lu Gang want to say to himself?

As soon as Lu Gang left, there was a sound of footsteps, and then he saw Shangguan Qi, Ke Rin and others rushing into the room.

When everyone saw that Liu Yi had woken up, they all gathered around to ask for warmth, which overwhelmed Liu Yi. Finally, after everyone's greetings were finished, only Liu Yi, Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin were left in the ward, and at this time, Liu Yi finally had the opportunity to ask about the current situation in Yaqiu City.

"How's it going in Aqiu now? How big is the loss? Liu Yi asked.

Ke Rin sighed and said: "The damage is greater than imagined, I am afraid that tens of thousands of buildings have been damaged, and now the city is full of ruins, and the fires in many places have not been completely extinguished until now." ”

"This is not the most serious, this battle has destroyed a lot of infrastructure, it is difficult to recover in the short term, and then the city may face the difficulties of lack of electricity, water and oil, and even life will become a problem." Shangguan Qi added.

Liu Yi listened to the narration of the two and slowly fell into deep thought, although before the war he also thought that he would definitely face a very difficult situation after the war, but he did not expect that it would be so difficult, and even the basic living conditions could not be satisfied.

"Fortunately, this battle was won, if it didn't win and Yaqiu City fell into the hands of bandits, Yaqiu City still doesn't know what will become of it, and those bandits won't spend their energy on the recovery of the city." Liu Yi said secretly in his heart.

"What about the militia and their families? Are there any difficulties? If they can't live in the city, it's better to let them live in the base outside the city for a while. Liu Yi said.

"I've already arranged this, and I'll let them all live in the headquarters temporarily, which is the original headquarters of the Iron Cavalry. Setting aside some people to be in charge of eating and drinking should get everyone through this difficult time. Kirin said.

Liu Yi nodded and said: "This arrangement is good, it should allow the militia to live without worry for the time being, with our ability and financial resources, we can only do this, as for the restoration of the city, it still depends on the government's plan." ”

"Where is there a government now, you forgot, Ding Kai has run away." Shangguan Qi sneered.

After listening to Shangguan Qi's words, Liu Yi remembered that Ding Kai had long since lost his place, and the current Yaqiu City was in a state of anarchy, and he didn't know who should be responsible for cleaning up the mess next.

Liu Yi can't do anything about this, after all, they are just a militia organization, and it's okay to resist the bandits, but it's not enough to rebuild the city.

"Alas...... I hope the empire will send someone better to be the governor, otherwise...... Aqiu may not be able to recover for ten years. Liu Yi said with a sigh.

However, having said that, in fact, Liu Yi didn't dare to hold out any hopes, and Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin, who were sitting on the side, also had sad faces, and it was obvious that everyone didn't have any expectations for the officials of the empire.

A few days later, Liu Yi left the hospital, and Ke Rin and Shangguan Qi took him back to the Iron Cavalry headquarters. Along the way, Liu Yi looked at the devastated Yaqiu City, and was in a very bad mood, he had only seen the disasters brought by the war to people from the materials and movies and television before, but this time it was extremely real in front of him, which gave Liu Yi a great touch.

At this time, the headquarters of the Iron Cavalry has been turned into a large mansion, and the buildings around the playground are full of people, like military dormitories.

The women set up pots and stoves in the playground, wisps of white steam rose into the sky, and the smell of all kinds of food filled the air.

Children play in the open space, seemingly unaffected by the war, but many years from now they will remember how brutal it is today.

Liu Yi returned to his room, turned on his portable computer, and wanted to write down all kinds of experiences in this war, and when he had time, he would send it to his mentor Yu Wensong to see, hoping to get some advice from him.

As soon as he wrote a few words, there was a knock on the door, and a young voice said, "Mr. Liu, an officer surnamed Lu has come to pay a visit." ”

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: "Lu Gang came so fast, I just entered the door with my front foot and he arrived with his back foot, I don't know what it is for this time?" ”

"You tell him to sit down, and I'll be there shortly." Liu Yi replied.

When he came to the reception room, he saw Lu Gang chatting with Shangguan Qi, and when he saw Liu Yi coming, Lu Gang immediately stood up.

"Looks like you're recovering well." Lu Gang said with a smile.

Liu Yi looked at Lu Gang and found that his face was not very good, and he looked very tired, it seemed that he had not been idle in the past few days.

It's not surprising to think about it, Ding Kai ran away, people with higher ranks than Lu Gang either died in battle or ran away, and now Lu Gang is the person with the highest official rank in Yaqiu.

"Brother Lu, please take a seat, you must have been busy these days, right?" Liu Yi said.

Lu Gang sighed: "To tell you the truth, I have hardly closed my eyes in the past few days, and there are countless things to deal with, even if I am split into two, it is not enough......"

Liu Yi smiled: "Now you are the head of Yaqiu City, how many people are counting on you, and you should be busy." ”

"That being said, but I'm really limited now, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I only have two or three hundred people under my command now, and it's not enough to maintain law and order, let alone restore and rebuild."

"Didn't you tell your superiors about Aqiu's situation? I don't think the Imperial Government will sit idly by. Liu Yi said.

"I said that I must have said it, but there has been no reply from above, in addition to reporting the situation of Yaqiu to the government, I also said it to the military, but there has been no response at all so far." Lu Gang said helplessly.

Liu Yi didn't expect this to be the result, could it be that the empire planned to completely abandon Yaqiu and let this galaxy fend for itself?

However, it is not very likely to think about this, although Yaqiu is very remote, but there are rich mineral deposits here after all, even if the empire wants to give up, I am afraid that those big enterprises will not agree.

"You might as well talk to those companies and let them help you, these companies have a lot of energy, and with their help, things may turn around." Liu Yi suggested.

"I've thought about this too, but the big companies don't seem to buy it." Lu Gang said: "I came to you today for this, you have a close relationship with the company, can you be a lobbyist for me." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said: "There is no problem with this, but I can't guarantee the final result, I hope you can be mentally prepared for this, these big companies are very shrewd, and they never do things that are not beneficial." ”

Lu Gang said: "I know what you said very well, I have already thought about it, as long as they are willing to contribute, even if it is some excessive requirements, I can temporarily agree." ”

"In that case, I'll make an appointment with them, and then we will sit down and talk in detail." Liu Yi said.

"Okay, then please." Lu Gang held Liu Yi's hand and said.

Having said this, Liu Yi thought that Lu Gang was going to say goodbye, but Lu Gang sat down again and continued: "There is one more thing, I hope you can help." ”

Liu Yixin said: "I didn't expect this Lu Gang to be very ghostly, I was really deceived by his honest appearance." ”

However, it is impossible for Liu Yi to refuse now, so he can only bite the bullet and say: "Say, what else can we help." ”

Lu Gang said: "Can you ask your militia to maintain order in the city for the time being, the city is really chaotic these days, although the robbers have been driven away, but all kinds of thieves and hooligans are running rampant, making the people unable to live." I have too few men to manage. ”

This is also a request that Liu Yi can't refuse, now the largest armed force in Yaqiu City is the militia, and the original intention of the militia organization is to protect the homeland, Lu Gang's request can't be refused no matter what.

"Okay, leave this matter to the militia, let's discuss it internally, and strive to restore normal order to Yaqiu City as soon as possible." Liu Yi agreed to Lu Gang's request.
