"Old Ao!"

Zorro stepped forward and wanted to stop Augustine, but found a pair of big hands blocking him, this is a pair of big hands belonging to Nathan's virtual image, he squinted, looked at Augustine's back, and said, "That kid will figure it out, let him go." ”

…

Augustine walked in the major porches of the Aurelia Starry Sky Dock in despair, wandering aimlessly, surrounded by bustling crowds, adding a lot of new faces, some of whom didn't even know who Augustine was, after all, Augustine had been gone for a long time.

"This comrade, can you help me move a few wicker boxes?" A young face suddenly patted Augustine on his broad shoulder from behind, and Augustine looked back to see that the other man's outfit was presumably one of Jeffs' stevedores.

"What's in there?" Augustine opened his arms and lifted the pile of wicker boxes scattered in front of him, and weighed it, and said, "This is not light, you are loading and unloading alone?" ”

The young stevedore's eyes were straight, this big man was really powerful, this box was 300 pounds! He nodded again and again and said, "Yes... Yes, there is not enough manpower, so I can only load and unload these metal water pipes myself! ”

"Metal water pipes? Where does it go? "Augustine felt weird.

The stevedore shook his head, scratched the top of his head with his index finger, and said, "I don't know, I'm only responsible for loading this cargo into the hold, and the delivery is the responsibility of the Ifrit Rangers." ”

Augustine, with a lot of questions, helped the young stevedore to complete the work he should have done on his own, and dragged the oncoming pilot of the cargo ship, who was an old face of the Ifrit Rangers, and Augustin even remembered that he was supposed to be a wing captain who had survived the last battle.

"Lord Augustine!" The co-captain was very surprised when he saw Augustine, and hurriedly said, "It's been a long time since I saw you!" ”

The stevedore behind the two heard the wing captain say the name Augustine, his legs were weak, he came to Augustine, bent down again and again to apologize, saying that Comrade Augustine should not be allowed to help carry things, it was really a sight and a lot.

"Don't worry about it, just move a few boxes, get busy." Augustine comforted the young stevedore with kind words, and finally comforted him away, and after the stevedores left, Augustine turned to the co-captain and asked, "Where is this shipment going?" ”

…

After Augustine learned about Kyushu from the Wing Captain, he followed the cargo ship to Kyushu Star, and along the way, his ears were not idle, and the pilots on the ship rushed to introduce the newly discovered terrestrial planets to the comrades of the committee, which made Augustine itch to listen, and of course he understood what this discovery meant to the red faction.

I also somewhat understood in my heart, why Fu Wei was not in a hurry to carry out military expansion, he found such a treasure land, it was not enough to mobilize all the manpower to build a new planet, where was there still the heart and energy to carry out military expansion!

"How many people are there on Kyushu Star?" Augustin asked, holding a cup of coffee from the co-captain.

"About 350,000 people." The co-captain's answer almost choked Augustine, who was drinking coffee, no, it was indeed choking, Augustine took a sip of coffee, sprayed his face, and then coughed violently for a long time.

"Comrade Commissioner, I'm so sorry, I should have asked you to be mentally prepared before I said that...", the Wing Captain kept patting Augustine on the back.

"Out of the way... Cough! Augustine wiped his mouth, and the co-captain's answer just now really shocked him: "350,000 people!" Where did it come from! Could it be that Fu Wei will sprinkle beans into a soldier?! He had to pinch it with mud for a year and a half to figure it out! ”

The co-captain hurriedly explained: "Comrade Commissioner, among the 350,000 people, 300,000 are aborigines, that is, the descendants of the Chinese people that Comrade Fuwei has been looking for, they are Tang people, they found Kyushu Star more than a hundred years ago and multiplied to this day, and the other 50,000 people are immigrants who continue to secretly migrate into Kyushu Star, most of these immigrants are fugitive indentured workers, and now these people have become a new force in the construction of Kyushu Star!" ”

"That's not all!" One of the pilots on the right excitedly added, "A new large-scale barracks have been built on the surface of the Kyushu Star, and the Swordfish Commander is leading the newly recruited Kyushu Star militia for training!" They're all Marines in reserve, Lord Augustine! ”

"Kyushu Star Militia?" Augustine's eyes lit up.

"That's right, Kyushu Star Militia!" The co-captain took over and continued to explain, "A militia team formed to defend against the attack of the native creatures of Kyushu Star, but Chief Swordfish is training them exactly according to the training intensity of the Storm Paratrooper Force, and I think he wants to further expand the size of the Storm Paratrooper Battalion. ”

"I'm looking forward to it more and more!" Augustine said with a fist.

…

The Kyushu Star Militia, also known as the "Marine Corps Reserve Force", was prepared and formed by the deputy company commander of Swordfish when rebuilding the Delta Company, and the current Kyushu Star Militia has reached 40,000 people, of which three-quarters are Tang people, and a quarter are Kyushu Star immigrants.

Swordfish separated the Kyushu Star militia from the common people, established barracks and training grounds, and trained them according to the standards of marines, training in peacetime, and participating in wartime, and it was also the source of strength for the superior Marine Corps.

After Augustine arrived at Kyushu Star, he saw the construction scene in full swing with his own eyes, and his heart was even more excited when his military boots stepped on the dry ground of the new Beijing Barracks and faced the thousands of Kyushu Star militia standing in line.

The deputy company commander of the swordfish took a straight step, came to Augustine with a solemn face, and saluted a navy chest salute, Augustin also straightened up and saluted, he found that beside the swordfish, there was a black-haired and yellow-skinned Tang boy, and the boy's salute standard was on par with the swordfish.

This young man is the son of Su Hawu, the patriarch of the Xingtang clan in Kyushu, Suhatai.

"Lord Augustine, it's a pleasure to meet you!" The deputy company commander of Swordfish stepped forward and pointed to Suhatai and introduced to Augustine: "This is Suhatai, a native of the Kyushu Xingtang clan, and he is now the commander of the Kyushu Star Militia Reserve Force. ”

Augustine nodded at Suhatai, who gave another naval buckle salute.

"Do you know what a Marine is?" Augustine asked him.

Suhatai replied: "Sir! I don't quite understand what a Marine is, but I know what a fighter is! ”

"Tell me about it!"

"A warrior is the group of people who stand in front of the guarded, with their own lives, in exchange for the survival of the guarded, if a warrior is sacrificed, his spirit will be inherited by those who are guarded, and the flame of guardianship will never be extinguished." Suhatai expounded his point of view in a clear and smooth starry language, and everyone was surprised to hear it.

Augustine nodded appreciatively and said, "That's a great point! An ordinary person must first become a soldier of the kind you describe, and only then can he become a marine! Suhatai, I hope you can implement what you understand as a warrior into the entire Kyushu Star Militia Reserve Force. ”

"Yes, sir! Sir! Suhatai saluted again.

Augustine raised his steps in satisfaction and approached the neat ranks of militiamen on the training ground, all of whom had been carefully selected, young, strong, and vigorous, but it could be seen from the expressions on their faces that these recruits, who had not experienced the baptism of war, were still very immature.

They were dressed in uniformly distributed red and green camouflage uniforms, short-sleeved camouflage T-shirts wrapped in sweaty bodies, breeches with drawstrings and thick rubber boots, each soldier wore a uniformly equipped armed belt, ammunition packs, unopened daggers and leather blade sleeves around their waists, a cloth camouflage military cap on their heads, and a red five-pointed star badge pinned to the center of their heads.

40,000 soldiers remained in a straddle position, motionless.

"I thought that when I came back, there would be no use... Unexpectedly, when the red faction was stepping up construction, the armament did not relax! Augustine became more and more pleased as he walked, and he stopped and came to one of the soldiers, with a smile on his face, and straightened his military hat for him.

Then, he walked up to another soldier, crouched down, and tightened his loose shoelaces.

"Thanks... Thank you, sir! The nervous soldier straightened up incoherently, Augustine smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and then, standing among the 40,000 soldiers, he put his hands behind his back and closed his eyes.

Once upon a time, his dream was to have tens of thousands of Marines, but now, his appetite seems to be even greater.

"Warriors!" Augustine opened his eyes and roared, accompanied by the uniform upright movements of 40,000 people, and the sound of 40,000 pairs of military boots colliding at the same time was really shocking! Even Augustine's arm had goosebumps.

"Take a break!"

As Augustine's voice fell, 40,000 people simultaneously took a half-step to the right, then put their hands behind their backs.

"I hope you can all become your regimental commanders, Suhatai's warriors, and I look forward to the day when all of you 40,000 people will become real marines! I firmly believe that day will not come too late, and I firmly believe it!

One day, our Marines will have millions of soldiers! Become an invincible army of gods! ”

"Whoop——!

…

40,000 palms of both hands applauded at the same time, and the applause converged, like thunder!
