Chapter 13 doesn't seem like a bad thing
A population base of 100,000 is not enough to support a large organization, especially today, when social welfare is highly developed, even if you don't work, you will not starve to death, and there are a large number of ready-made houses to house these people in the vast and sparsely populated advance fortress. Without worrying about food and shelter, more people don't need to be organized.
But the situation of the Advance Fortress is more special, it has a long history, and many famous names in history were born here, such as the Ground Commando, the Interstellar Commission, the Mars Development and Reform Committee, ......, which is the starting point of human space history.
Although most of the organizations have relocated to more prosperous star fields, the skinny camels that remain are larger than horses, and many inconspicuous signs often represent very terrible powers, and perhaps an inconspicuous old woman may have a relationship with the Interstellar Council.
In this kind of place, which is full of historical heritage and has intertwined relationships, some illegal organizations have no soil for development and growth, such as the underworld. The Forward Fortress can be called the largest organization of the gang, with only two hundred people.
More often than not, like Battier, who is in groups or alone, eyeing tourists from outside to make a little money or the like, but there is still a violent gang that no one dares to provoke - the ground commandos.
Most of the official organizations and institutions have moved away from the forward fortress, but the headquarters and training base of the ground commandos remain here, especially the training base.
The old, congenitally flawed, and intricate terrain of the forward fortress has become the best training ground for ground commandos. Ground assault and street fighting are a very important part of the terrain. The soldiers who have been trained here are simply god-like beings in street battles.
It is no longer possible to find such complex terrain as the Advance Fortress in the World Realm. Its predecessor was only a 13.3-meter peaceful space station, which was continuously expanded through modules at first, and when it came to the exploration of Mars, it underwent structural reconstruction, until now it has become a behemoth with a diameter of more than 6,000 meters and hundreds of floors.
In the long process of expansion and reconstruction, the equipment is constantly updated, the construction methods and materials are becoming more and more advanced, and in the same area, things from different eras will exist at the same time. Ancient copper-core enameled wires can also be found where wireless energy is transmitted, and a lamp of incandescent energy may still be hung on the walls illuminated by fluorescent paint.
Because of the existence of the ground assault team, the personnel of the advance fortress included some of the commando soldiers and attached personnel, and the total number was about 3,000.
The commando may have numbered as few as seven hundred or eight, but it easily became the largest violent gang in the Advance Fortress.
"Are you going to the commando team looking for someone?" When he said this, Battier asked cautiously, secretly saying that he was unlucky, if he knew that he had something to do with the commando, and he would not dare to fight Zhang Qifan if he was given ten more dares, the group of ground commandos was particularly protective and not afraid of death, and they were a group of authentic outlaws.
Zhang Qifan did not answer Battier's words, but said lightly: "Talk about the ground commando." ”
Battier was stunned again when he heard this, could it be that he guessed wrong, the other party didn't come to find someone? Instead looking for trouble? Trouble with those guys from the ground commandos? Battier's heart was excited, this was not his thoughts, with the strength that Zhang Qifan showed just now, he was fully qualified to find trouble with those guys.
"From... Where to start? Battier asked hesitantly.
"How many people there are and where they are stationed, let's talk about them in detail." Most of Zhang Qifan's knowledge of ground commandos comes from the military's official website and search engine. From the situation of the conscription department, it can be found that those materials are either outdated or not in-depth enough, Zhang Qifan hopes to understand the real ground commandos from the native Qianjian.
"Well, the ground commando team is stationed on the top ten floors of the fortress, and there are almost 3,000 people now, of which ......" In Battier's introduction, Zhang Qifan has a visual understanding of the ground commando.
The recruitment office of the ground commando team has become a retirement place for the second generation of powerful people like Liu Shuya, not because the establishment of the ground commando team is about to be abolished, but because of the change in the source of soldiers.
Commandos have always been the type of troops with the highest casualty rate, especially after the maturity of automatic weapons and remote-controlled robots, if they want to break through the firepower network composed of automatic weapons, it is not uncommon to pay heavy casualties, and even the sacrifice of the whole regiment.
The extremely high casualty rate makes the recruitment of ground commandos unusually difficult. However, in the work of ground assault, remote control robots cannot be used, because with the development of battlefield jamming and shielding technology, as soon as the large shield is opened, all electronic signals will be blocked, and remote control robots are useless at all.
In order to replenish the source of soldiers, the ground commandos began to be forcibly recruited from among criminals and villains, and later gradually became a tradition, and today, the ground commandos have become synonymous with criminals and villains.
It is not surprising that the ground assault team, composed of such personnel, is called the largest violent gang by Battier, and fights and brawls are only trivial, and it is common to break into the police station with heavy armor and rob their comrades who were drunk and disturbed last night.
More egregious forms of rape and the resale of ordnance also occur from time to time, but after all, they are disciplined forces, and such heinous acts are generally severely punished by military courts.
With such a violent institution sitting in the advance fortress, it is no wonder that the small gangs here have to clamp their asses and behave, and there is no way to develop and grow.
After asking himself about the situation of Lu Dao, Zhang Qifan raised the communicator and said to Battier: "Leave your number, I will look for you if there is something." ”
"Yes, yes." Battier was agitated, his arms stretched out almost uncontrollably, but he didn't notice the details in his nervous mood.
After exchanging numbers, Zhang Qifan pulled a few times on the communicator, and touched Battier's communicator again. After a confirmation prompt, Battier looked at the face painting that popped up in the communicator and was dumbfounded: "Six... Six thousand credits?! ”
Credit points are the currency used by all human society, and the value of 6,000 credit points should be about the same as 6,000 euros during the Earth period. But in fact, in a year when social welfare is highly developed and food and housing are allocated, six thousand credits can do far more than six thousand euros in the age of the earth.
The declining forward fortress, the work of six hundred credits is all rushed by a bunch of people to do it. Six thousand credits can buy several lives.
Even Battier, who has no business, has seen 6,000 credits only a handful of times in his life. Now that he can't rob himself, the other party has given him so many credits casually, it's just better to rob it, what is this for?
Battier raised his wrist at a loss and looked at Zhang Qifan in amazement.
"Waiting for the call." Zhang Qifan ordered lightly. He needed someone who was familiar with the local situation and could complete some of the tasks he had given him, and Battier was the only suitable person he had now, so he could only use him temporarily.
He was given money to avoid any accidents, lest he need manpower when he got it, but he went to jail for robbery or was hospitalized with serious injuries or something.
For Battier, 6,000 credits may need to grab a dozen fat sheep to accumulate, but for Zhang Qifan, it may only be half a day's interest, or a few minutes' return on investment.
There is a father of the captain of a pioneer ship, Zhang Qifan can be said to be an authentic rich second generation, just the insurance, securities and the like that Zhang Yuanshan invested in him, there are tens of thousands of credit points per day, and the tens of millions of deposits in the bank have a lot of interest every day, even if he doesn't do anything, he can live comfortably to the end of his life.
However, this is not his pursuit, he does not have much need for material, and the place where he spends the most money is only a few times when the body is too ruthless, and some parts of the body are permanently damaged, so he has to go to the hospital for treatment. But as his mental strength became stronger and stronger, such mistakes became less and less.
Battier looked at the string of numbers in his personal account, and then looked at the back of Zhang Qifan, who turned to leave, and a thought suddenly popped up in his heart: It doesn't seem ...... bad thing to do things for such a person.
