In reality, Zhang Long participated in military education in the capital of South Korea at the beginning of his life, and half of his time was taken up every day for intensive training, and the remaining half was about 11 hours a day on average, except for eating and occasionally dealing with some chores, so that he could immerse his consciousness in the world of strange things and spend time in the torrent of time.

But because he was in the world of strange things, he was not aware of everything that happened in reality, and Seoul was too close to the invasion front of the plane invaders and the waters of Incheon, so for the sake of safety, he had to withdraw his consciousness from the world of strange things back to reality every short period of time, and observe the movements of the city in case of accidents, so the actual time to use it was only about 10 hours.

And 1 hour in the real world is equivalent to a month in the world of strange things in a state of time torrent, so by the time that Zhang Longchu manipulated the believers, annexed the two provinces of the indigenous empire of the world of strange things, and improved his extraordinary strength, nearly 80 days had passed in reality.

At this time, Seoul has four distinct seasons, and it is already sunny April and May, which is undoubtedly the most pleasant day of the year if it is a time of peace.

However, as the red clouds in the planes of the world turned from secret to well-known rumors, the frontier of a powerful plane invading the earth, and the whole city was filled with pessimism and fear.

Fortunately, South Korea is a regional power, and although it has a small land area, after stabilizing the situation, it has paid some unspeakable costs, and through mediation and exchange of interests, it has still been able to find a relatively appropriate way to resettle refugees.

The number of refugees in Seoul has not increased but decreased, and there has been no humanitarian disaster, but it is inevitable that the lives of ordinary people will become more difficult than in peacetime.

One evening in early summer, as the sun sets, Seoul is lit up in red by fiery clouds in the sky.

After Zhang Longchu finished a day's course at the Seoul Military Training College, he was about to find a random restaurant to fill his stomach and go home to enter the world of strange things, but was stopped by Kim So-eun, who walked into the classroom quickly, "Student Zhang, wait a minute, you are going to leave a little later today, please come with me." ”

After seeing each other almost every day for several months, Zhang Longchu and Jin Suen had already become extremely familiar, shrugged their shoulders when they heard this, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, Instructor Jin, I still want it at night...", but seeing that Jin Suen turned around and left as if he hadn't heard anything, he had to close his mouth and follow.

After leaving the teaching building and strolling on the tree-lined trail of the college, Zhang Longchu couldn't help but ask again: "Instructor Jin, what is it that makes me stay?" ”

"Because it's a confidential matter, I don't know very well, I only know that the important officials of the Ministry of Defense are already waiting for you in the academy office, Your Excellency General Zhang Longchu." Kim So-eun's tone changed and he said in a solemn voice.

Hearing Jin Suen's abrupt change in his title and attitude, Zhang Longchu was slightly stunned, pouted, and said: "You professional soldiers have simply been trained by the state to have no personal feelings, and changing your face is faster than turning a book."

Just now, he called me Student Zhang, but now he has become His Excellency General Zhang Longchu, which makes me feel furious. Hearing this, Kim So-eun was silent for a while, then suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Don't think about it, your application for increasing the number of trainees in the second half of the year has been approved, and in this case, it shouldn't be a bad thing for the Ministry of Defense to contact you." ”

The emergence of the plane invaders represented by the red cloud has changed drastically in the various countries and regions of the earth, including Kalimantan.

The situation in most parts of the island is gradually deteriorating, but the Mabizzy Mountains, which were originally on the periphery, are relatively reassuring psychologically because they are far from the frontier area;

The value of the abundant rubber has risen sharply due to the sharp increase in military orders, which has brought about an increasingly surging capital flow;

Coupled with the abundant catch brought by the two good ports and the excellent tropical island climate of rice three crops a year, combined with its well-developed agricultural system and sparsely populated environment, the residents were at least fed and clothed, and gradually became a paradise for immigrants.

Under these circumstances, Liu Junshan, mayor of Maibiqi Autonomous City, was prepared for danger in times of peace and urgently contacted Zhang Longchu, who was far away in South Korea to participate in military training, and requested that the autonomous defense force be immediately expanded from a division to an army, and Zhang Longchu immediately approved it.

The establishment of one corps is equivalent to three divisions, so in the second half of the year, the number of people of the Maibiqi Defense Force who went to South Korea to participate in military training suddenly surged to five times, forcing Zhang Longchu to apply to the Seoul Military Training Institute for a change of training personnel.

At this time, when he heard Kim So-eun say that the application was granted, he was overjoyed, and with a happy expression on his face, he whispered, "Thank you." ”

Hearing Zhang Longchu thank him, Jin Suen also smiled slightly, then hesitated for a moment, and asked: "But can you afford a small warlord who suddenly expanded his army to 60,000 people and formed a military-level military unit?" ”

Zhang Longchu smiled bitterly, walked side by side with Jin Suen, and replied endlessly: "In the past two months, the price of natural rubber has increased by three times, and it has been bullish for a long time, and my deputy has obtained a loan of 20 billion yuan from Wall Street in the United States through negotiations;

In addition, the number of civilians who have migrated from the prosperous areas of central Kalimantan to the Maibiqi Hills is now numbering in the hundreds, and if this situation continues, the Maibiqi Mountains will soon be coveted by the big warlords in Malaysia, and it will be difficult but imperative to expand the defense force to the military level.

Also, don't look down on me as a petty warlord, I actually control the same land area as one-eighth of South Korea.

Although most of the area under its jurisdiction is mountains, the highest peak is no more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and the geology is all mud structure, coupled with the rainy climate and abundant water sources, the terraced fields are reclaimed, and the harvest is much higher than that of ordinary plain areas.

In the past, rice alone could feed 600,000 people, and more than half of it was still exported, and if it weren't for the big granary of the Mekong Delta in Southeast Asia, the grain would not be able to sell at a price, and I am afraid that it would not be my turn to swallow it at all, so although it is difficult to expand the army, it can still afford it on the whole..."

As they spoke, the two walked into the college's administrative building, and a few minutes later, in a spacious conference room on the third floor, Zhang Longchu met the Ministry of National Defense officer named Li Huairen, who was in charge of receiving him when he first came to South Korea.

"General Zhang, long time no see, how are you doing lately?" The moment their eyes met Zhang Longchu, Li Huairen stood up, showed a sincere smile, strode in front of him, stretched out his hand to greet, and at the same time looked at Jin Suen slightly, causing him to quietly exit the conference room.

"I received military education every day from 1 to 5 weeks, and I had two days off on weekends, and my time in Seoul was full and regular, which was very good." Zhang Longchu also stretched out his hand to shake Li Huairen, then looked at the rank on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Colonel Li, congratulations on your promotion to the next level." ”

"In this special period, I have been promoted to the next level, and the responsibility on my shoulders is heavier, so there is really nothing to congratulate." Hearing this, Li Huairen suddenly smiled bitterly, shook his head and said.

As a member of the disciplined forces, he and Zhang Longchu have only met once, and it is inevitable that this kind of talk is a bit profound, but it cleverly shortens the distance between the two.

Zhang Longchu couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said vaguely with relief: "Now the situation is special, and capable people will inevitably have to take on more responsibilities, don't you see that I'm also reluctantly expanding the armament war, otherwise there is no need to apply for more training places in the second half of the year, hey, it's very difficult anyway." ”

Hearing this, Li Huairen showed an empathetic expression, nodded, and said with a smile: "General, the commanders have signed and approved your report on applying for an increase in the number of training places, and several military training classes will be added in the second half of the year to train officers for the Mebiqi Defense Army." ”

"Yes," Zhang Longchu said with a smile as if he had just learned the news; "That's great."

When his voice landed, Li Huairen suddenly said: "In addition, we will work with the military base in South Korea to help you build a small military factory that can repair all kinds of conventional weapons and produce various types of general-purpose ammunition." ”

The military equipment of the Mebiqi Defense Force comes from the obsolete goods of the regular troops of Huaxia and Millican, and the amount of smuggling in a year is enough to arm four divisions, so Zhang Longchu is not worried about the source of the munitions, what he is worried about is the ammunition reserve.

After all, ordinary conventional weapons are quite durable, and they can always be used for several years after refurbishment, but ammunition is a consumable, and it is fired as soon as the trigger is pulled and the knob is pressed, leaving only the cartridge casings like scrap copper and rotten iron, so it is of great significance to have a military factory that can produce all kinds of general-purpose ammunition for the entire Mabizzy Mountains.

However, Zhang Longchu, who was born in Orange Street in Los Angeles, didn't believe that there would be a free lunch in this world since he was a child, and after listening to Li Huairen's words, he didn't show a happy smile at all, but became expressionless, shrugged and said: "Oh, there is this kind of pie in the sky that just fell into my mouth, so what price do I have to pay for it?" ”

"Accept at least 100,000 South Koreans to take refuge in the mountains of Maibiqi temporarily," Lee said bluntly, after a few seconds of silence, "You must provide them with housing, food and fresh water that can meet their basic living conditions."

In exchange, in addition to aiding the construction of the arsenal, the South Korean government will pay you a personal political contribution of 5 billion won or 5 million won per month for every 10,000 people. ”

"Take refuge temporarily..."Zhang Longchu said with a sneering smile on his face: "Lieutenant Colonel Li, we all know what the appearance of the red cloud means to the people of the earth, and your so-called temporary is probably at least 10 years old, and these people will stay in the Maibiqi Mountains for the rest of their lives."

And this means that there will be a special group of people in the area under my jurisdiction for a long time, numbering tens of thousands, and it is absolutely not enough for the South Korean government to pay this price if it wants to make a deal. (To be continued.) )
