For engineers like Summers and Busca, regardless of whether the looters will really attack Xinyumen in a large scale, as long as they come, they will definitely bring various problems to the construction of light rails and factories.
Such hidden dangers will definitely slow down the construction progress. This is of course extremely bad news.
However, Akinayama Hachiman, a soldier himself, did not think so.
When New Yumen received the news that the predators had broken through the Glory Star Gate, it was already January 4, 834. The government officials and most of the military officers of New Yumen had just finished the New Year's holiday stipulated in Galaxy Standard Time.
Akinayama Hachiman, on the other hand, took advantage of his vacation time to complete the preliminary military reorganization work for the newly-joined Sand People's Forces, and determined the officer corps composed of active service members of the Community.
When he received the news, he rolled his eyes and was silent for a few minutes. Then he said to his comrade Simon: "Actually, this may be regarded as good news."
Due to his familiarity with Hachiman, Simon didn't think that this guy was frightened, but it was still difficult to follow this guy's train of thought for a while.
"I have said before that if we want to make Xinyumen long-term and stable, we must first provide jobs and education to the sand people."
"We are doing it," Simon said. Of course, this is by no means an overnight success, but everyone has actually done a very good start.
"Then, we need to arm them and let them learn to protect themselves."
"The Shamin Garrison has been established." Although this is just a local security force raised by the New Yumen Governor's Mansion, and the "ranks" issued are mainly based on food and daily necessities, it is indeed considered an army. In the picture
Before the Long Incident, any Sand People prince or tribal elder with such an army could become an overlord.
"Then, what they need is a tempering session." Hachiman said.
Simon was slightly startled, and then he roughly understood what the other party meant.
"I originally wanted to let them continue to attack other sand people forces, but this may violate the relationship between the Governor's Palace and those friendly forces, and may give many people the taste of a puppet army suppressing their compatriots."
"Well, it is indeed very tasty. If we continue to do this, no matter what policies we formulate to improve people's livelihood, in the eyes of outsiders, we will already be no different from the empire." Simon said.
"It's okay now, the predators are here, and the flames for tempering real steel are here!" Hachiman pushed up his glasses. Although he still had the paralyzed face of Furui Muha, Simon could clearly see the twinkle in his eyes.
A little bit of excitement.
"Aren't you afraid that they won't come?"
"They will come, and they have already reached the New World. Naturally, they have to be prepared for the siege of our fleet. Then, the only people who can provide backup to the fleet, besides the Empire's Glory Colony, are us." Hachiman said with a smile.
Although this guy has been engaged in "construction" in Xinyumen for more than half a year, his understanding of the war situation is exactly the same as that of Yang Xiyi and Yu Lian.
Probably in order to increase his persuasiveness, Akinayama Hachiman repeated it again in a confident tone: "They will definitely come! The only thing we need to worry about is that they will be caught by me in space orbit before they reach New Yumen.
The square fleet has been killed."
Simon said: "...Aren't you afraid that if they really come, Tulong will be turned into a sea of fire?"
"From the perspective of extreme realism, it doesn't matter if Tulong turns into a sea of fire, as long as we evacuate the citizens in advance." Hachiman shrugged: "New Yumen is not the earth, there are not so many tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people.
There are huge urban agglomerations and factories where people live, and there are no giant agricultural plains stretching for hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. To be honest, we are really not afraid of orbital bombing."
When he said this, he was still in the Governor's Palace in Tulon. Many government officials and police officers heard his words, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"Actually, I was joking." Akinayama Hachiman pushed up his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth unnaturally, and forced out a robotic smile.
Even so, the Garrison Command, with the support of the 13th Fleet comrades, began to expand the three defense facilities in Tulon underground and surrounding areas.
The local citizens of Tulon are very indifferent to all this. They are on the edge of their country's civilization and live in the lower limit of urban security every day. In the past, they have dealt with sand people, horse bandits and various pirates. Now
When they heard that the plunderers were coming, they were a little frightened, but their fear was very limited. Many people even felt that the expansion of city defenses would bring them many job opportunities.
When the citizens thought about it carefully, they found that Xinyumen was really prosperous during this period. Factories were being built on the seaside, factories were being built on the other side of the mountain, and tracks were being laid. Plus the city defenses here were all.
There are a lot of job opportunities. They will definitely not be able to do manual work against those "prisoners of war" of the Sand people. Even now, ordinary citizens still think that those workers are prisoners of war. But since we are engaged in engineering construction, some positions always require some technical content, right?
All in all, if the raiders hadn't come, this would have been the best year since the founding of the New Yumen Colony.
However, for the few foreigners who come here for travel and official business, it is a different story.
Currently, there are about two to three thousand foreigners stranded in Xinyumen, and nearly half of them have alliance passports.
This is because the well-known food industry giant, Zixinhui Group, has built a medium-sized food processing plant and a large spice processing plant locally, and has been in operation for almost half a year.
Although Xinyumen has sparse vegetation and is a desert, it is difficult to be self-sufficient in food. However, senior officials of the Zixinhui Group believe that although there are few pastures here, the meat quality of the local livestock is very good, and it is very suitable for processing into high-quality food.
Meat products.
In addition, Xinyumen's high-drought spices grow from the ground. Naturally, they do not have the mysterious metaphysical functions of the local ones that are sprayed out from the stomachs of sandworms, but their quality and yield are not low. They are used for
The mid-range market is completely adequate.
The scale of the food processing factory is not large, but the scale of the spice processing factory is not small, and it has already been put into operation. The management staff, technical staff, and logistics staff, plus their families, add up to more than a thousand people.
People are also very reasonable.
However, although there are not many people, it may indeed become a factor of instability.
No, on February 3, Akinayama Hachiman, who was still in charge of the city defense construction in Tulong, had not yet received the news that Yulian's dreadnoughts and the main force of the Thirteenth Fleet had met and had returned to New Port Arthur. There was an alliance.
Citizen, Ms. Taina Mohn, who claims to be a reporter for "Star Herald", came to the door.
Reporters actually don't matter, but reporters from "Star Herald" matter a lot. This is one of the top five newspapers in the alliance, and it is also quite influential in the universe. Compared with this one, the community's GNN is even younger.
Even my middle brother is not worthy.
Of course, being an Alliance citizen doesn't matter, but since it's Taina Moen, it matters even more.
After all, Akinayama Hachiman is also an important staff member of the Thirteenth Fleet, and he also attaches great importance to intelligence work. Of course he knows that this Miss Moen is the daughter of the famous Alliance wealthy Moen family. Otherwise, she would
It's impossible to become an official investigative reporter for the Herald in your twenties.
However, the community government has no reason to prevent the other party from entering, so it can only hold its nose and let it go.
Fortunately, this young lady has been interviewing the Zixinhui Group's new factory construction work since entering the country last year, and she has never come to cause trouble.
But no matter what, as a reporter and a representative of the citizens of the alliance here, she came to visit, so there was really no reason to turn them away. So, Akinayama Hachiman could only hold his nose and let people in.
It is said that the seventeen families of the legendary Alliance are all generational clans whose family lines can be traced back to the era of the Alliance's home star. In terms of historical background, they are definitely not inferior to those of the empire's long-standing princes. It is unspeakable that they have been honored for so many generations, and their appearance, conversation, and temperament are natural.
All good. This Miss Taina Moen is a very bookish and intellectual beauty, but she wears a light travel outfit, which is very suitable for her identity as an investigative reporter.
"Actually, regarding the security issue of New Yumen, you should go to Colonel Hull, the information security commander." After sitting down, before the reporter lady could speak, Akinayama Hachiman started to blame the blame.
"You need to know that I am the combat and logistics staff officer of the Thirteenth Fleet. The reason why I stayed in Xinyumen for a long time is to supervise the construction of some supporting equipment for the fleet."
The reporter lady blinked her eyes, and then smiled "haha", her smile was very dull.
Why is this guy playing his cards so unreasonably? Hachiman looked at the opponent's stylized sneer that seemed to be mocking him, and couldn't help but push up his glasses.

"In short, please rest assured that we will do our best to protect the safety of all foreign nationals. Of course, the premise is that everyone can cooperate..."
"Can we open the border and allow alliance ships to enter Xinyumen to evacuate overseas Chinese?" The reporter interrupted Hachiman rudely.
It’s coming, it’s coming! Hachiman thought.
"There are less than 2,000 Alliance citizens here. Even if you bring personal property, it won't take up much space. A medium-sized ship will do. Of course, for safety reasons, there will be weapons and some security personnel on board."
"Ms. Moen, the situation in New Yumen is not out of control. No citizens of your country have been harmed. Our country has no reason to agree to your request." Akinayama Hachiman leaned back on the sofa with a tactic, and then smiled: "Of course
, this kind of thing is not my final say.”
He was ready to engage in a verbal war with this reporter for eight hundred rounds.
However, Miss Taina Moen nodded slightly and showed a sincere smile: "It is indeed true. At this time, if my country enters the country with armed ships and armed personnel, it will be an irresponsible act, and there will be diplomatic bullying and
Suspicion of adding insult to injury."
"..."
Miss Moen smiled and said: "No matter how incompetent I am, I am still an official reporter. The Star Herald will always stand on a fair and objective standpoint, only taking sides and not taking sides. Just now, I just informally
I am just passing on a message to you through this channel. It does not represent my personal attitude."
"..." This is the so-called eldest lady from a rich family, is she so willful?
"As for the city defense and the safety of our citizens. Haha, I am not a military expert and I am not qualified to comment. Here, as long as you can promise to treat all foreigners in your country equally and fulfill your obligation to protect them as much as possible, that is
Very satisfied.”
The reporter lady was a little too reasonable, which actually made Akinayama Hachiman a little worried.
"Actually, what I want to ask when I come here this time is about the sand laborers and the newly formed security force." Miss Taina Moen smiled and turned on the recording function of the terminal: "After you organize them
Previously, very harsh methods were used to kill at least twenty of the upper echelons of Sand People city-states and tribes. What was the reason for this?"
Akinayama Hachiman was startled for a moment, then smiled: "Ms. Moen, you don't know, you are actually a pan-racial egalitarian!"
"No, before I went to college, I was still a standard human supremacist. However, if I work at the Pioneer Newspaper for too long, I will always forget that I am a human being." The reporter lady smiled calmly: "Captain, please don't say anything to me.
I have so much hostility. This time, I did come with sincerity and goodwill. I am also indeed very curious about everything that happened in Xinyumen during these six months."
Akinayama Hachiman raised his head, looked at the other person directly over his glasses with a rather rude look.
However, the reporter's eyes did not wander at all, and she said calmly: "After you, I will also interview Mr. Busca from the Red Maple Factory. I will do my best to tell everything that happened in the first half of the year in Xinyumen.
Made a special report."
At this point, she smiled: "Actually, I have also watched "I Have a Dream"."
Akinayama Hachiman looked at the other party deeply, took off his glasses, and slowly wiped them.
Two hours later, Miss Taina Mohn left the building of the Tulon Police Headquarters with a satisfied smile, walked briskly, and hummed a song as she got into the passenger seat of an off-road vehicle on the roadside.
There was a young man with a sad face sitting in the driver's seat. After the woman who was humming the song sat down, he sighed: "You... are in such a good mood!"
"Because it's really interesting! The captain with glasses, Mr. Busca, and the God-chosen champion behind them." Miss Tainamoen opened her terminal and began to sort out what she had just said.
Collected information: "Speaking of which, Ash, aren't you very familiar with that gentleman? Why don't you think of a way to get him to accept an interview with me?"
The young man's cheek twitched involuntarily, and he said with a smile: "Actually, I'm not very familiar with him. I only met him once in Xinyumen. In comparison, you are not as good as
I’m going to follow the path of a princess from the Bei family.”
"I've said it many times, Ash, I'm not the same person as them! Why don't you believe it?" The reporter lady showed a sad expression.
Ya Xiu thought to himself, just say yes. I don't know what the grudges between you rich ladies are, and I don't want to know either.
"Well, now that the interview here is over, can we..."
You can run away quickly! Ash thought to himself. The looters are here. These things are much more powerful than the rioting sand people. He doesn't want to stay in this new Yumen for a minute.
Since she is the eldest daughter of the Moen family, of course she will never lack ways to escape. Currently, there is a specially modified small high-speed cruise ship parked in Tulong Port, which is the property of Miss Taina Moen.
.This is not an outfit that ordinary reporters can afford.
"Okay, let's go to the Twin Peaks town we asked about yesterday. We can also finish the interview with Mr. Busca on the way...Hey, what's your expression? You're here, of course.
