Chapter 1371: The Sound of Cannons in the Distance
"What's wrong?" Chen Zhiyong asked in a confused manner. Logically, Liang Chen should be happy.
After all, with the enemy in front of him, the more soldiers there are, the better, and the more you have more hope of winning. Why does he look very unhappy?!
Liang Chen ignored it, just sighed and walked forward with his hands behind his back. Zhang Da, who had already arrived here, followed him and became his translator.
The Cathmiro tribe leader and a group of people were standing beside Yao Weilin, watching happily as his group of soldiers were divided into order and lined up into a neat team to enter the training ground. He shouted from time to time, saying that his tribe members should be obedient and then obedient.
The captain Pondoli stood beside him and pointed at them excitedly, saying something. The chiefs next to him looked envious and angry, and their eyes were red, as if they had not obtained any great benefits and were so angry.
Raman stood aside, waiting, looking up at this side. Seeing Liang Chen coming, he immediately shouted excitedly. When several chiefs heard his words, they all turned around and walked towards Liang Chen.
"Liang Chen, how about it? My soldiers are strong enough, right? They are all good guys according to your requirements, and they are all hunters and warriors in the jungle. With a little training, I believe that they will become the best warriors." Cathmiro walked to Liang Chen and laughed loudly, not without the intention of showing off.
"It's really good." Liang Chen nodded, and a group of chiefs were overjoyed. Now they received a compliment from Liang Chen, and they felt something in their hearts, and they were so happy. "However, there seemed to be too many people." Liang Chen's next turn surprised them a little.
"What's wrong? Is there too many people that will make Chaoyang too burdened? It doesn't matter, we can bring our own dry food to ensure logistics supply, so that you won't worry too much." Cathmiro said quickly.
"No, I'm not talking about this problem." Liang Chen shook his head.
"What does that mean?" Several chiefs were a little confused.
"What I want to say is that you did not follow my requirements, but have almost all your young and middle-aged people recruited soldiers. Otherwise, how could there be more than 4,000 people? You must know that the seven tribes combined together will only be more than 20,000 at most. If you remove the old, young and young and young, your young and middle-aged people will not exceed 5,000 people. Now, it's better. With the soldiers of Chief Pangdoli yesterday, it's now approaching the 5,000 mark. This is a fishing place.
In war, people will inevitably die and become disabled. Let me ask, if you destroy all the young and middle-aged people who can engage in production and become disabled, even if the battle is won, how can you continue to produce? Continue to develop?" Liang Chen shook his head and sighed.
The chiefs looked at each other and were stunned. They really didn't think of this problem. What Liang Chen said to them yesterday was just doing in a general direction. In fact, they still had the idea of more soldiers, and they would do whatever they could. The result was that now.
"Well, Liang Chen, of course we understand your painstaking efforts, and we are particularly moved. You can actually think of what happens in the future for us. But it's not our fault. These little guys are fighting with guns and fighting and defending their homes. There is nothing we can do about it. Their enthusiasm is coming, and we can't stop it. This is true." Casmiro coughed lightly, spread his hands and said helplessly. The facts are indeed as he said, when he was in the army and it is a just battle they took for granted. The young and middle-aged people in the Black Forest have been extremely enthusiastic about signing up, and it is really impossible for the city wall to stop it.
"Chen, what you said makes sense, but we can understand the painstaking efforts of several chiefs. Otherwise, based on the principle of elite troops to reduce politics, we will reduce 2,000 people and be incorporated into our engineering team and rear construction forces. At present, only about 3,000 troops are left, so it is easier to train in this way.
In fact, we don’t have to worry about the issue of soldiers. After all, the remaining tribes will be alert in the end and will automatically send troops to us. In this way, the remaining tribes can gather at least 4,000 soldiers. In this case, we will have about 7,000 people. In addition, our special forces with nearly 1,000 people in Chaoyang will rely on the strategic depth of this vast black forest, so there should be no problem." Yao Weilin asked with the idea next to him.
"Okay, that's it. After all, our cities also need to be built, and we must develop production and ensure logistics. The addition of young and middle-aged labor is also extremely necessary and necessary to accelerate our urban construction. After all, we cannot just fight wars and do not think about future things. We have to build while fighting. After the war is almost done, our first port will be almost done. In this way, relying on this city, we can develop in depth and achieve our economic strategic goals." Liang Chen nodded and said.
The chiefs looked at each other, and their eyes couldn't help but feel a lot of worry, "Liang Chen, we only have 7,000 troops, and we are all new recruits. Can we do it? You know, the Cartersi tribe has a population of 340,000 and has already integrated all major tribes into the city. At present, the permanent troops have reached more than 50,000, and they are still recruiting troops. It is said that they will recruit about 100,000 people. Moreover, their people are all veterans who have been enlisted for many years and have rich combat experience. We rely on 7,000 people to fight against their 100,000 people. This..." Cathmiro swallowed, not daring to resemble them.
Liang Chen smiled faintly, and he didn't blame him.
After all, he is a native of the primitive jungle, and his strategic thinking is still in a state where the cold war relies on the number of people to decide the outcome, and he has no understanding of the hot war.
In China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially during the War of Liberation, let alone 7,000 to 100,000, even if it was several anti-encirclements, the Red Army faced the encirclement and blockade of more than tens of times the enemy. Moreover, compared with the army of a certain party, their weapons and equipment were far from the sky and the ground, but they were still able to win battles and create miracles.
"The number of people is not a problem. As long as you train properly, have strict discipline and are brave in style, even if there are only seven hundred people, you will definitely lose. A hundred thousand sheep cannot beat ten lions. This is the simplest truth." Liang Chen did not explain too much, but just smiled.
"Okay, then do what you said. In fact, we all know that you are doing it for our own good. No matter how many people there are, we have confidence in you." Cathmiro stopped insisting and smiled.
After patting Liang Chen on the shoulder, the chiefs had indescribable gratitude in their eyes.
To be honest, if it is necessary, who would have to send his son Lang's children to the front line to fight? In fact, Cathmiro didn't say that his five sons were all among these recruits.
"This, this, Liang Chen, it is said that everyone in Chief Pangdoli's tribe has moved here?" asked a chief next to him carefully.
"Yes, I moved here last night. I have arranged food and accommodation for them." At this time, Li Tie, who was next to him, took over the conversation and said, but his eyes were full of pain. There was no way. Even if there was a possibility of making money, he spent cash to support these people's food and accommodation. It would be strange if this top financial slave didn't feel sorry for him.
"So that's it, that, hehe, Chief Pondoli's brain reacted so quickly, and he was really lucky..." The chief was hesitant, but he was really embarrassed to make a request that his tribe members also wanted to move here.
After all, what does it cost to eat, drink, defecate, urinate, sleep? He was really embarrassed to make this request.
However, it is not mentioned or mentioned. After all, in the future, young and middle-aged men in the tribe will go to war, and the black forest in front is strategic depth, and the base is in the back. Could it be that a group of women, children, young and old without warriors will be thrown into the valley where they once lived? That is really too dangerous, right?!
The other chiefs were also worried about this, but considering the actual situation, they were all embarrassed to make this request.
Li Tie saw their thoughts, and his heart hurt even more. It was so painful that it was bleeding. He forced a smile on his face, "Several chiefs, I'm going to talk to you about this matter. Brother Chen told me yesterday that it is not safe for your women, children, young and old to stay in the forest without the protection of soldiers, but if we disperse our troops to protect them, we are not able to do it now. So Brother Chen means that in order to make everyone feel at ease in the war, he can simply move your family and other tribe members over. Anyway, this city is big enough to live in. However, don't leave your production behind. After all, it may not last long to rely on Chaoyang to provide food alone." Li Tie said with a smile on his face.
Liang Chen next to him glared at him, blaming him for being too scrupulous, Li Tie pretended not to see him.
Several chiefs were immediately ecstatic, "Don't worry, don't worry, we will never bother too much of the rising sun. As long as we can provide us with a place to live and keep the people relatively concentrated to protect them, we can solve the others ourselves."
"That's fine. In addition, I think these women, children, young and old should do something to create some wealth to facilitate better construction of our city. I heard that most of you do this, right?" Li Tie took out the straw puppy again and shook in front of everyone's eyes.
"Of course, this is a ancestral craft, and we never throw it away." Several chiefs kept nodding, but wondered, could this kind of thing that everyone knows can really create? They didn't understand this.
"That's great, that's fine. You can move all your tribesmen here later. Then you know this kind of craftsmanship and the hand-made people in your tribe will come over there to report. I'll register and organize you to produce." Li Tie grinned, and finally smiled on his face, which made Liang Chen next to him shake his head and laugh and cry.
This kid is a typical rooster who plucks his hair by the geese. Why didn’t he see it at the beginning?
