Chapter 355: Mass Conscription
With a decision in his heart, Wang Jin accelerated the deployment of the base's affairs.
The first thing Wang Jin did was to recruit troops, originally there were only 20,000 regular troops from the mountain base, but now with Wang Jin's order, the regular army will be replenished to 100,000.
Among them, the original prisoners of war from the Lingnan base will be recruited to join, and a part will be recruited from the survivors, and a total of 80,000 soldiers will join the army.
The army of 100,000 was divided into three divisions, one of which was an armored division, containing 120 tanks and 200 armored vehicles, equipped with relevant anti-aircraft artillery, with Chen Dong as the division commander.
The two infantry divisions, mostly using light weapons, each equipped with 50 armored vehicles, housed an air defense battalion, and the division commanders were He Youxi and Lin Shibin.
In addition, there will be an aviation mobile brigade with 25 helicopter gunships and 10 fighters, five artillery battalions with 100 artillery pieces, missile battalions, special brigades, engineering units, and so on.
It is expected that after all the troops are replenished, the number of troops will exceed 100,000, and the soldiers who can form so many troops are all with the weapon resources obtained from the 37th Group Army, otherwise Wang Jin has no weapons to develop, unless his soldiers are willing to fight with big blades.
With the situation now stable, Wang Jin used his population of more than one million to build up the army, and if it were not for the lack of weapons, Wang Jin could continue to increase the number of troops.
After all, most of the people who survived in the last days are young and strong, and their psychological quality is high, so it is not difficult to train and run in for a period of time, use the weapons in their hands, and train a qualified soldier.
Wang Jin's order was given very early. Chen Dong and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately began to transfer prisoners of war and recruit troops for the base. Lu Yuanhuai began to prepare for training.
Recently, the entire base has fallen into a kind of euphoria, and hundreds of recruitment points in the base are crowded with young people, flexing their muscles to compete for conscription places.
This is an opportunity to get rid of poverty, after becoming a soldier, not to mention other welfare wages, that is, most of the meals are in the barracks, and there is oil and water to dip the next day. This drove the survivors crazy, and the welfare of the soldiers was known for a long time at the Lishan base. Who doesn't want to be a soldier if they are the right age!
As for being a soldier, you will die? Where is it not dangerous in the last days, who cares about the survivors who are poor and afraid, from ancient times to the present, the poorer they are, the more people want to be soldiers. What's more, now that we are in the last days, if they are all rich, then who wants to be a soldier and suffer and risk their lives.
From the Lishan base to the No. 1 market town in Lishan, and then to the Lingnan base, from the survivors of the Lishan base, to the survivors of the Lingnan base and the survivors of the underground base, seven or eight hundred thousand young men gathered to enlist, almost crowding the recruitment points, in order to prevent turmoil. Wang Jin even dispatched the Zerg to maintain law and order, and he barely suppressed this restless fiery atmosphere.
On several construction sites, the 50,000 prisoners of war undergoing re-education through labor also performed well. It's not good if it's not good, who is willing to work hard to become a soldier again.
When the order for conscription was given, the prisoners of war were more excited than the survivors, scrambling to bring out their best side.
What is your own marksmanship! I know how to drive a tank! Soldiers will be organized! It's going to infiltrate the war! In short, they all show their best side.
It's not that these soldiers don't have faith, but in the last days, the idea of the state or something is very dark. They serve more just to live a better life, otherwise what kind of virtue was Liu Jun in the past. Has Liu Jun done less bad things?
Aren't these soldiers acting as executioners for massacres, plundering, repression, etc.?
When the state dies, the terror of the soldiers is greater than that of any robber and bandit.
Wang Jin killed the leader they were loyal to, which meant that Wang Jin was stronger than Liu Jun and would follow a strong man in the last days, which was something that no one would refuse.
When Wang Jin announced the recruitment, there were very few of these soldiers who insisted on not being with Wang Jin, people are all interest creatures, and it is the nature of human beings and even all animals to seek advantages and avoid harm, and under the temptation of welfare and food, most soldiers are willing to buy their lives for Wang Jin.
There is a saying that the so-called loyalty is only because the price of betrayal is not big enough!
Compared with the hard work on the construction site and the lack of food than the survivors, the price of being a soldier is not insignificant, and they naturally know how to choose.
After settling the matter of conscription, Wang Jin's second thing was to deal with the placement of the underground base.
110,000 people moved from the underground base and settled in the No. 1 market town of the Lishan base, and only 50,000 people were left in the underground base, responsible for growing mushrooms and hunting.
In addition, termite colonies are also stationed in the underground base, and it is not possible to stay here.
Wang Jin waited for Jiang Zhengqing to return to Shun only to find that the mushroom cultivation in the underground base needs the help of termite colonies, and there is a method that Wang Jin does not understand to take care of mushrooms, provide nutrients for mushrooms to grow rapidly, and mushrooms can become termite food, forming a simple complementary relationship.
Jiang Zhengqing has now gone back to the underground base to preside over affairs, and Jiang Shishi stayed to help He Xin and learn how to handle official business, which is also Jiang Zhengqing's request.
On the issue of the Great Mountain Range, Wang Jin knew that there were still five or six hundred thousand mutant beasts inside, but the mutant python and the third-level mutant beasts were all killed by Wang Jin, so these mutant beasts were no longer in danger.
Wang Jin is not ready to kill all the mutant beasts in the Great Mountain Range, but to keep them as a source of meat for the base and the Zerg, in fact, Wang Jin has considered killing hundreds of thousands of mutant beasts, but think about it, forget it, what is the difference between doing this and fishing in the dry water, and the resources obtained by killing all of them are far from upgrading to the third-level brood.
For the disposal of the Great Mountain Range, Wang Jin will arrange for the Zerg to hunt the mutant beasts and control the number of these mutant beasts within a certain range.
Anyway, the mutant beast reproduction speed is very fast, and it only takes a few months for an ordinary mutant beast to grow, as long as it is properly controlled, these mutant beasts are Wang Jin free-range sheep, and they can kill if they want to, which is better than building dozens of farms by themselves, and the energy source is constantly providing meat and crystal nucleus resources for themselves.
There are not many such captive conditions, the environment of the large mountain range is extremely suitable for the survival of mutant beasts, and the primeval forests are lush and tall compared to other places, which means that herbivores are not short of food, and carnivores also have enough food, so they will not easily leave this area, providing sufficient conditions for Wang Jin's captivity.
If it was in other places in the wild, it would be impossible for Wang Jin to do this, once the insect swarm was killed, the mutant beasts would have run out long ago, where is it not life! Why bother facing these murderous Zerg.
With such a large mountain range, Wang Jin's crystal nucleus acquisition efficiency will be greatly increased in the future, and Wang Jin has even prepared to cover the periphery of the large mountain range with a fungus blanket, and spend several months to surround the entire large mountain range and completely become his hunting ground.
