Chapter 43 External Support
Ding Kai's self-confidence was not unreasonable, he had already known that the bandits were on the move, so he contacted the chief of the nearby Moyun system to ask for support.
Gao Han, the chief of the Moyun Galaxy, was a friend Ding Kai had known since he was young, so he naturally wouldn't help with this favor, and he readily promised Ding Kai that he would support two hundred mechas.
With these two hundred mechas, plus more than a hundred of the Yaqiu garrison, the total number has reached more than three hundred, which is more than enough to deal with the bandits.
Because of this, Ding Kai did not accept Liu Yi's affection at all, and directly rejected the matter, so as not to owe Liu Yi a favor. In Ding Kai's heart, he always believed that the threat of the militia was greater than that of the bandits, and the robbers would not gain the support of the people, but the militia could.
Once the people have become supporters of the militia, he will not be able to be the governor of Yaqiu, so he must ban the militia no matter what, but he can't spare his hands yet.
Ding Kai's thoughts, Liu Yi and the others naturally didn't know, and when he and Shangguan Qi walked out of the government building, they couldn't help but sigh.
The two did not sigh because Ding Kai refused to cooperate, but they were worried that once they could not reach cooperation, whether it was the regular army or the militia, it would be lonely to fight against the bandit group alone.
"What are we going to do now?" Shangguan Qi asked.
Liu Yi said helplessly: "Ding Kai refuses to cooperate, we can only unilaterally start preparing for war, and we have to try to avoid encountering the regular army, in case there is a misunderstanding and friction, it will not be good, it will only cheapen the robbers." ”
After hearing this, Shangguan Qi frowned and said, "It seems that this can only be the case, I'm afraid this battle will be very, very difficult......
"In short, we are doing our best, and in order to reduce civilian casualties, I think that from now on we should move some people out of the city, especially the elderly and children." Liu Yi said.
"Okay, let's discuss it when we go back, and then start the transfer and evacuation right away."
Returning to the base outside the city, Liu Yi told everyone the outcome of the incident, and everyone felt very sorry, so that the forces defending Yaqiu City were scattered, and the regular army and militia had to fight on their own.
Then Liu Yi told the matter of transferring civilians again, and asked everyone to mobilize the people to move outside the city as much as possible, so as not to be affected by the war.
Now there is no other way than to let the robbers enter the city for street fighting, with the current strength of Yaqiu City, it is impossible to keep the robbers out of the city, and once the robbers enter the city, the first to suffer is naturally the ordinary people.
The idea was unanimously agreed, and it was suggested that the population should be moved to the Khan Heights, northwest of the city, where the terrain was open and flat, and the roads were good enough for many people to camp temporarily.
After discussing it, everyone came up with a transfer plan, and then they began to prepare.
Moving people is easy to say, but it is very difficult to do, and the first thing is to convince everyone that no one wants to leave their homes and run into the wilderness.
In addition, transportation was also a big problem to move so many people, there were only a few roads outside the city, and there was only a very rudimentary dirt road leading to the Khan Heights, which was very difficult to walk.
This matter bothered everyone for several days and there was no good way, and finally Ke Rin came up with an idea and asked Liu Yi to go to those mining companies for help.
Liu Yi had no other way but to beg those big enterprises, but he didn't expect these companies to agree very happily and soon sent an engineering team to repair the road.
It has to be said that these big enterprises are really strong, and it only took a few days to repair a temporary road to the Khan Heights, allowing vehicles to pass smoothly.
With transportation assured, some people began to move outside the city under the persuasion of civil defense groups, but many more remained on the sidelines, believing that there was no need to move outside the city as early as the frightened birds.
There is no way about the attitude of these people, Liu Yi and the others, after all, everyone has a fluke mentality, in case the robbers don't come or come, it won't necessarily affect themselves, so don't you have to transfer......
"What a bunch of fools, it's too late to run when the war burns to the head!" Ke Rin was furious and scolded these people for having no brains.
Liu Yi persuaded Ke Rin not to be so angry, everyone is like this, there must be a process of understanding, the truth is the best lobbyist, it is more effective than how many car words you say.
At a time when civil defense organizations were scrambling to move people, an incident happened that made their efforts more difficult.
On this day, more than a dozen transport shuttles fell from the sky and landed on the land outside Yaqiu City.
Coming down from the shuttle are brand new mechs, the shiny coating reflects the sunlight, looking radiant, and the shiny metal components look so sophisticated, these fresh and shiny mechs are the crystallization of modern industrial technology.
When many people heard that reinforcements were coming, they all ran outside the city to watch, only to see a steady stream of mecha coming down from the shuttle, and then lined up in a neat queue in the empty wilderness, like the arrogant knights of ancient times, which made people truly feel the might.
Some mecha enthusiasts and military fans pointed at these mechs, and from time to time let out bursts of exclamations, as if they had discovered a precious treasure.
"Oh! This is the latest Hunter 8th generation, and it is also a land combat enhancement type! ”
"Tut-tut, these mechs are probably the first time to use them, I've never seen such a new mecha, and today it's finally an eye-opener......"
"Wow wow! There are even all-round knights, which are too powerful! ”
Liu Yi and the others also mixed in the crowd, this incident caused a sensation in the whole city, and they naturally did not know about it, so they came to see it in person.
Ke Rin was originally a fanatic of mechas, and when he saw these latest military mechas, his eyes radiated a greedy light, and he couldn't wait to keep them all for himself.
"That's fair!" Ke Rin scolded in a low voice: "There are so many newly baked mechas, how good it would be for us, it's a pity that they actually fell into Ding Kai's hands, it's a pity......"
Shangguan Qi is an expert in mechas, he nodded while looking at it and said, "It's okay, although they are all the latest type, but they are still not as good as the ...... I used before."
"Just blow it, this is the latest model, how can it not be compared to the mecha you used before?" Ke Rin pouted and squinted his eyes.
Shangguan Qi sneered and said, "What do you know, don't look at you as a mecha enthusiast, but you haven't seen anything really good." ”
"I haven't seen anything good, I think you're just hard-mouthed."
"Let me tell you, in addition to these mass-produced mechas, there are also special customized mechas, and those specially customized mechas are really good." Shangguan Qi said: "Don't look at these mechas, they are brand new and bright, but they are just mass-produced goods, nothing unusual." ”
"Of course I know the custom type, but it's all made for the big guys, so you probably won't be able to take your turn, right?" Kirin said with a little sarcasm.
"I'm sorry, I've really built a custom mecha, and as for the model, you don't know either."
"Phew! I don't believe your nonsense......"
Just when Shangguan Qi and Ke Rin were arguing, Liu Yi next to him had a sad look, as if he had a thousand catties of heavy burden on his shoulders.
"Brother Liu, what's wrong with you?" Ke Rin glanced at Liu Yi's expression and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "With the support of these mechas, I'm afraid the people won't be able to move." ”
"Why is that?"
"What do you think, now that Ding Kai has added so many mechas, probably many people will think that the city must be very safe, so who is willing to move to the wilderness." Liu Yi explained.
Ke Rin nodded when he heard this, and said, "That's true, with these new mechas, plus the original ones, it's probably enough for Ding Kai to keep the robbers out of the city." ”
"That's probably the case if you look at the numbers alone." Shangguan Qi sneered: "But will the robbers be so honest? All attacking from one direction? ”
"Shangguan is right, the number is enough, but the enemy will not be so honest, if you attack from multiple directions, these mechs will definitely be scattered, and when the time comes, it will not be the same." Liu Yi admired Shangguan Qi's point of view.
"In that case, no amount of mechs is enough?" Kirin asked.
"Nor is it said that fighting a war is not a game of chess, it is not simply a comparison of numbers and equipment performance, the real purpose of fighting a war is to destroy the enemy's confidence, not to wipe out the opponent cleanly." Shangguan Qi said to Ke Rin.
"You are talking so mysteriously, in short, are you not optimistic about Ding Kai's strategy?"
Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi nodded together, and the smile on Ke Rin's face gradually disappeared when he saw this, and he looked at those mechas with a solemn expression.
Ding Kai's deployment confirmed Liu Yi and Shangguan Qi's fears, these mecha were indeed stationed outside the city by Ding Kai, and strongholds were set up in several directions, apparently intending to resolutely keep the robbers out of the city.
The posture of the army gave confidence to the population, and many believed that with the protection of so many mechs, the bandits would definitely not be able to break into the city, so there would be no need to transfer.
As a result, many people who originally planned to transfer gave up this idea, and even some people who had already been transferred also returned to the city, which made Liu Yi and others reluctantly give up the transfer plan.
But to their surprise, the big companies don't seem to be at ease with the safety of the city, and are still transporting things out of the city in a much more resolute manner than the general public.
Liu Yi felt a little strange about this, but it was inconvenient for him to inquire, after all, the road was built by others, and transporting things was also a private matter of the enterprise, so it was not good to say much as an outsider.
