Leilondo's personnel reorganization lasted until the end of November, when the units were reorganized. After a month of replenishment, the number www.biquge.info of Relondo Interstellar Army increased to 24,000. In addition to the 10,000 recruits and the atmosphere from the main star that the army must undergo long-term training, there are 14,000 men available at hand. I threw all the surviving middle-level officers except Zhao Xiong to train new recruits, and according to Basque Bing's instructions, I promoted some capable junior officers to come up, and then proposed the deputy commander of the original second battalion to be the commander of the newly built Leilondo Second Regiment, which was in charge of 4,000 men. The structure of the garrison remained basically unchanged, with Han Han concurrently serving as the regimental commander, and the original battalion commander Buckley as the deputy regimental commander presiding over the work. Basque Bing led a guard battalion of 2,000 men. Everyone felt schadenfreude when they saw that I punished him, and it wasn't until they finally saw that Ah Bingbing had become the commander of the last perverted battalion, and that he could transfer troops at will without asking the military department in the name of the governor directly, that they all consciously closed their mouths.

What Feng Luo offered me was an order for weapons worth 160 million. She moved quickly, and three days later a small arms arsenal on the main planet sent us a bill of lading, stating that the new batch of 60,000 rifles could be delivered in two months. According to the current plan, in addition to the necessary maintenance and wear, it can also be used for the development of the Lelondo Interstellar Army within two years. This relieved me of a big problem, and also gave Leilundo's military budget a little relief, so that he could spare some of his funds and energy for other things.

With a start-up fund, the most important thing is, of course, to make the money profitable, and mining minerals within the scope of Feria's attack has become the first priority to be done immediately. I contacted Admiral O'Ao and asked him to support our fighters and frigates, and if we could produce a super battleship, it would be great if we could help us grab the mines. The admiral was probably shocked by my excessive demands, and did not even want to meet me, so he sent Vice Admiral Zhang Ning, the second-in-command of the fleet, with a frosty face, to come out and tell me that none of my demands could be met. Under my repeated entanglement, Zhang Ning impatiently dragged out fifteen winged eagles from the hangar, and told me that these guys are all good - as long as they are repaired, they can be used, and they don't want me to pay for this shabby household, and the freight is at your own expense, so let's play with it.

"As for the pilots, we have to solve this problem and fund the corresponding skilled pilots and experienced combat ground crews, right?" Han Han couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, this personnel problem, we are also short of it. In these extraordinary times, there is a shortage of talents, and even if you give a lot of money, you can't hire aerospace fighter pilots. Those atmospheric pilots on the ground still have to go through more than a year of training before they can pass the assessment, and they can't be supplied at all. I'm afraid you're the only ones to figure it out. Zhang Ningpi looked at me with a smile and said, "I looked at the information, and Governor Huang's aerospace fighter has a good flying score, a full eighty points, which is enough to participate in the battle." You can start a class to teach your experience and quickly train your own team of pilots! ”

Han Han and I both looked at each other, and words couldn't. When Zhang Ning left, I gritted my teeth and cursed at his disappearing back: "Yin and Yang are weird, you dare to sarcastically mock the uncle's sore spots, come to Lei Longduo, believe it or not, I will kill you ****!" ”

"Call me with you when you chop." Han Han sighed and circled around these broken planes, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is also clear that the freight is at your own expense." Leilondo didn't have his own tugboat, so he had to rent a private tugboat. Rhubarb, we're at a loss. ”

As a result, the Leilondo mining team formed by the 2nd Regiment took the high-priced rented civilian transport ships and mining ships to the mining stars marked in the star map. After seeing them leave, Han Han and I calculated the money spent on this trip, and our hearts were so painful that our faces were hideous for most of the day. Fortunately, the map of the mineral distribution given to me by NASA was correct, and the first stop they went to found a very small mining star. Although the ore star is only a speck of dust in size compared to Leirondo, it is basically composed of sitee compounds, and the reserves are quite abundant. The second regiment was hot-headed and almost wanted the whole army to be converted into miners and mined on the spot. I scolded them on the interstellar phone, telling them to leave one battalion to build fortifications, and the rest to continue to pay me.

The second group explored for more than a month and found more ore stars and mineral belts than on the NASA star map. Thankfully, Feria never came to harass. I privately went to negotiate with Naoki Nagao, who had no one under me, and rented the idle equipment of their Adams mining team at a high price, and sent the first group to mine Adams's mineral site, claiming to be "cooperative development and equal benefits". Adams didn't have one person, only some equipment that was originally idle and got a lot of benefits, coupled with the small number of people, it suddenly became the best employee welfare in the Samsung system. It is said that Ryuuji and the others are already planning to build a golf course there - which is the envy of my poor governor.

There are many people in Leilong, and after putting on a mad dog-style mining rack, countless problems suddenly appeared. After the first regiment was stationed in the Adams mining area, Wang Xueping made 10 phone calls to Admiral Ao in a week to protest against our cross-border illegal mining. The admiral didn't bother to care about these things, and he didn't even look at it and forwarded the complaint to me. These complaints came to me like a stone in the mud, and I couldn't even bubble up. In the mining area of the first regiment, there were repeated group incidents with the Alpha mining team, in which miners from both sides parachuted into each other with mine picks. Such mass events generally ended in the complete victory of the 1st Regiment, because most of the miners in Leirondo were recruited by the people, while Alpha had no native inhabitants at all, and their miners were soldiers who had passed through the good and suffered greatly in terms of numbers. There are 500 miners on Leilondo's side, and there are often 500 soldiers with bayonets behind them, so they are naturally invincible. Although Titus has written a lot of research articles such as "Thoughts on the Causes and Solutions of Repeated Mass Incidents Involving Miners at the Junction of the Adams-Alpha Mine" that would suffocate just by looking at the title, because he is not neutral and does not propose any feasible solutions, this scenario intensified before the arrival of the new three-star military judge, and I did not have the slightest idea of suppressing it.

When New Year's Day arrived in 3067, Admiral Oku sent out an invitation to the leaders of Samsung to attend the New Year's tea party on his big space cross. The Overmars fleet has undergone a huge change in the past two months compared to the past four or five years, not only sending most of the frigates back to the moon base for repairs, but also adding dozens of new frigates, and occasionally seeing the legendary concept ships appear, which are said to be sent by the chaebol on the Heguo side to try them out, so as to win a big order. They have become nouveau riche, and their demeanor is inevitably domineering, even if they are mid-level officers, they are extremely arrogant when they see the three-star governor, so everyone doesn't really want to go. Except for Naoki, the governor of Adams, who had no soldiers and no power and only two small money, and agreed, my side and Alpha both muttered: Who knows if this is a Hongmen banquet? Although Admiral Ao has made a fortune to the pig's head, who can guarantee that he will not be blushing when he sees us mining, and he will have the idea of hegemony?

After discussing it for a while, Han Han suggested that I still have to go, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the admiral. He is too powerful now, and after the fleet was upgraded to the planetary attack fleet, it was all equipped with powerful ground firepower to suppress the planets, and we were definitely not opponents and could not afford to provoke them. I came to the Great Cross with the cold of Yi Shui on my back, and after seeing with my own eyes that their ships, uniforms, and food were four or five times more luxurious than those of Lei Long, I immediately let go of one hundred and twenty hearts, and the admiral should have disdained to take care of me before Lei Long was rich.

Alpha didn't send anyone here, and the admiral seemed very upset. Naoki Naoki is a man of wood and is not very good at talking, but he brought Ryuuji. We haven't seen each other for almost a year, and we are very affectionate, and after a few words of old words, we have a tacit understanding to the general. The admiral poured the ecstasy soup on the two of us, but he was still sober, and agreed to send me a few instructors to train pilots, but he didn't agree to anything. Everyone finished the tea party in the rhetoric and clichés, and prepared to enter the banquet to corrupt. Suddenly, Admiral Ao seemed to say something very casually:

"Huang Er, there have been some space pirates in the shipping lanes recently. There are not many people, they come and go like the wind, and this month's statistics show that all parties have losses. Are we looking for time to study and see how to focus on the eradication? ”

"No problem, no problem." I agreed: "It's just a few fleas, dare to cause trouble on the tiger's head?" As soon as I returned, I ordered the Leilondo Guard Battalion to step up patrols, and we must wipe them out! ”

My decisiveness seemed to be admired by the admiral, and he smiled and said, "Just do your duty, and you don't need to make such a big move." It is still necessary to pay attention to the issue of demarcation of each border, you only manage your boundary, and do not use the regular army to cross the border and cause conflicts. Now we should go all out to deal with foreign forces, and we should not cause friction because of these small things. ”

Admirals are always far-sighted and knowledgeable, and I even claim to be. He also discussed with me a few words about the seizure of the Rich Minerals, which were guarded by the Ferian army. At present, no one can spare the military strength to fight in these places, and the Austrian fleet does not need mining, so it is too lazy to move. The Admiral meant to ask me if I had any intention of joining forces with Alpha. The answer to this question is very simple, and I categorically replied with a "nodoor" to him. Fortunately, Overmars didn't care, and seemed to prefer to see my incompatible posture with Alpha, and without saying a word, he talked about the issue of space pirates again until the feast.

The problem of space pirates has been around for a long time, but it has never had a particularly noticeable impact, so the Samsung Army has always treated them as cockroaches that cannot be eliminated to a certain extent. But this time, the space pirates seem to have taken a fancy to the equipment, resources, and even munitions that the main star has continuously sent to the Austrian fleet, and have repeatedly robbed them. In the more than 10 days after New Year's Day in '67, the looting activities reached an unprecedented climax, which even caused the Austrian fleet to carry out a period of early warning of meal reduction.

I took the lead in ordering the Leilondo Guard Battalion to strengthen the cleanup of the space port, and rented civilian ships to carry out a large-scale cleanup in the airspace of Leilondo, and the robbery activities in the Leilondo airspace quickly subsided, but the piracy activities in the Alpha airspace were unprecedentedly active. This is the so-called balloon effect, which weighs down one side and that side. Zhang Ning took command and set up a joint rectification headquarters for space piracy, and sent patrols to search around, but the pirates could not be caught no matter what. When the Austrian fleet really went out to crack down, piracy quickly disappeared.

Finally, the tireless Admiral Obama convened a three-star theater security appeasement meeting to discuss the prevention of airspace security and the fight against serious criminal offenses. Now the size of the Ovimas fleet has increased a bit, but with the large investment in new equipment and the large number of new recruits, there has been a period of low dispatch rate, and even during the high tide there is not so much spare time to sweep away the pirates roaming around. After discussion and struggle, he agreed in principle that Samsung should form its own self-defense fleet, the scale of which would be limited to a planetary guardian fleet, and the funds would be found by himself.

At the meeting, I expressed my determination to fight crime and protect people's (but mainly my own) property; Wang Xueping threw out conspiracy theories, implying that these pirates may have a backstage and an umbrella. While fighting pirates, it is also necessary to dig deep into the backstage bosses lurking in the first three rows to solve the problem once and for all. Only Naoki Naoki was the most idle, and his expression was: "Mmmm, it's time to rectify, I fully support you." If you need a ship or something, ask me, everything is easy to talk about and negotiate, and you can rent it at a discount. ”

It didn't take long for the space piracy activities to cool down quickly after the three stars formed their own convoys, but they still appeared from time to time, but the scale could no longer arouse the impulse of the quad to jointly operate to crack down on them.

At the end of January '67, after inspecting the mining area of the Second Regiment, I went to the mining area of the First Regiment to inspect and express condolences before the Spring Festival. Zhao Xiong couldn't help but proudly introduce me to the "fruitful" achievements of the past two months, but he blew it too fiercely, and Han Han and I looked at each other with disbelief. He blew it for a long time, and I was upset when I heard it, and told him to be busy with himself, and I would take a look at it. After a cursory tour of the mining area, he walked into the dark field where no one was, and suddenly asked Hanhan: "We've made a fortune in the past two months, right?" ”

Han Han nodded and said, "It's okay, the current economic situation and trend are good." The Basque Ice side hasn't paid the account yet, so there should be a surprise. ”

"I told him that he should come back, there will always be a day when the ship capsizes if he has no capital to buy and sell, and it will be more and more difficult for us to cover. Leave some remnants of the little brother, I don't know what he is doing, just waiting for the opportunity, he should come back. ”

"Okay, I'll let him know when I get back." Han Han agreed, and suddenly said: "Our stall is getting bigger and bigger, I'm already a little overwhelmed, and you love to pull me around to check the work, and I can't do anything serious!" In the future, you will come alone for this kind of thing, and I will be very busy. ”

I said disapprehantly, "What, isn't Titus doing a good job?" When he is busy, he has no time to bite people everywhere, and everyone is happy. ”

By the way, because the officials and people of Samsung are generally too poorly educated, and there is a shortage of manpower to maintain the normal operation of the military and government, some time ago, I asked Titus to supplement the work of the Judge Advocate General's Office, and learn to deal with all kinds of military and political affairs of Leilondo as a cold hand, and the effect is actually quite good. I praised him twice, and he replied, "No tricks, but serious ears." ”

"I was amazed at Titus's ability to run a business, he was a surprise, but I wasn't very reassuring about him." Han Han said: "And even if he and I are busy day and night, it will be difficult to control the situation." We need more experts in political affairs, and they need to be high-level enough to command and move people. In this case, you have to go back to the main star anyway to receive the sponsorship of Fengluo, and to find out your wife's tone, if she is willing to come over and do it together. ”

"Do you think it's okay?" I looked at her with a wry smile.

"I don't know what's going on between you. But I think it's okay to let it go, she's a very capable person, and it's a good fit, give it a try. Han Han shrugged and said, "You person, I've seen enough." It's too easy for you to forget the unhappiness of the past and repeat falling in love with the person you once loved, I can guarantee that if Chen Qi waves his finger at you, you will run away again. That effect is terrible. You should have settled your own affairs earlier, and everyone can rest assured. Anyway, if you can make up for it, try not to break up. ”

"You know me too well, poor me, like the clouds in the sky, the dead leaves in the wind......" I was momentarily distracted, but I heard Han Han angrily shouting: "Bastard, I have said so much, how much do you listen?" ”

The adjutant who dares to insult the chief like this in the world is estimated to have no semicolon except for the cold.

As I pondered how to distract from this awkward topic, a shrill siren burst through the dark skies of the mine. Could it be that Feria is coming? But this is where Adams and Alpha meet, and they shouldn't have rushed here without warning! Han Han and I suddenly turned earthy, thinking that if we made dumplings for Feria here, it would be a snow in June!

The camp is like a black-and-white police movie, and everywhere you see panicked people running and shouting in the snow-white lights and endless night, casting busy shadows in one place. Zhao Xiong was still adding to the chaos, and he didn't live in the group call channel on the walkie-talkie and shouted:

"Alert, alert! Fifteen enemy combat ships are approaching! How can there be a self-identification signal? Eighty guns, solve this problem quickly! ”

The people in the 80th artillery air defense position and Zhao Xiong cursed in a panic, but Han Han and I stopped and looked at each other: Do you identify the signal? It couldn't have been a surprise attack by Feria, but how could the Overmars fleet come to this place without saying hello? As if answering our questions, a dozen long warships appeared above us with a loud roar of machinery. Powerful searchlights on the belly cross-smeared, covering the small mining area. I can well imagine what would happen if it wasn't this game but the ground machine gun. The two warships surrounded the 80 anti-aircraft gun position, and dozens of searchlights shone in unison, and the officers and men on that side immediately fell to the ground.

"Damn, aren't these Qingdao-class frigates?" I said through gritted teeth.

"Well, it's our GDI's own?" Han Han came back to his senses.

"It's GDI, yes, but it's not necessarily your own." I sighed and said, "It turns out that the northern capital also needs to get something, should we consider reaching out to the forces within GDI to ask for something?" ”

Overhead, the warlord's mighty ship made a string of lights with a searchlight. Han Han counted silently, and couldn't stop translating for me: "We are the Alpha Domain Security Defense Fleet, and I have come to your mining area to say hello to everyone." We will spare no effort to maintain security in our field and punish those who do not culprit. For everyone's safety and peace, we will come here often in the future. Alpha Fleet Commander Wang Xueping. ”

Since becoming the governor, this time it can be regarded as the most unbearable anger. I immediately dismissed Zhao Xiong from his post in the name of panicking in the face of the enemy, and brought him back to Lei Longduo to study at the cadre school. We're all thinking too optimistically about the reality and completely ignoring that while we're developing, Alpha is getting help from all sorts of sources. GDI has not shown any concern for Samsung, so much so that we didn't think about what else might be achieved over there. But now it is clear that Wang Xueping, even by virtue of personal connections, did acquire a small fleet from there. It's still small, but that's all there is to it when we attack the Alpha Airspace. That is, Leilondo is already lagging behind in terms of air supremacy.

"Don't be angry, just being angry won't solve anything." Han Han comforted me while packing my luggage: "Although Alpha is the first to have a fleet, he can't blatantly do anything to us. Let's just hurry up. ”

"It's annoying, I don't believe he's going to do anything to us at all." I covered my head and said, "Record the order, five additional anti-aircraft guns and one long-range anti-aircraft missile position in the first regiment's mining area. Even if you can't achieve an absolute defensive advantage, you have to make them have some scruples and can't come and go freely. ”

Han Han smiled bitterly and agreed.

At present, Leirondo is like going from slave to general, experiencing the inevitable hectic hectic construction of a heaven and earth creation foundation. The construction of the army has not yet been put on track, and the establishment of the space army is imminent. My mind was filled with countless plans and thousands of thoughts as I embarked on a journey back to my main planet. (To be continued.) )
