Chapter 414 Where There Are People, There Is War

"I can indeed provide you with a source of troops," Qi Lin thought for a while before slowly saying, "It's just that it's not through recruitment, but through employment."

"Employment?" Cheng Yanqiu repeated with interest.

"Yes, hire. You can set up a military depot in the city of steel. If someone is willing to accept employment to fight for you, the two parties will directly sign a contract. There are many types of contracts. You can hire those veterans who have combat experience, You can also hire rookie Baiding who have never touched a gun, and provide them with simple training and weapons.

As for the contract time, it can be several months or several years. The commission is settled every month just like the salary. When the war is tense, you can also choose to settle it once a week or once a day. You can choose whether to renew the contract. In this way, although it seems a lot of trouble, compared with the "lifetime recruitment system" that lasts for 30 years and needs to bear various personal guarantees, you need to pay less money A lot, and you can get a fairly combat-ready army as well. "Qi Lin said.

"That's right, but I'm helping you train soldiers, right?" Cheng Yanqiu narrowed his eyes, looking at Qi Lin with a half-smile.

"Yes." Qi Lin nodded without hesitation, "These people, if they can come back from the battlefield alive, will become valuable veterans, and they will also become the backbone of the Mutual Aid Army - we just take what we need That's all, I need experienced veterans, and you need a cheap army that can be formed in a short time."

"You're right." Cheng Yanqiu suddenly laughed, "If you follow your method, I can recruit 3,000 soldiers with the budget originally used to recruit 500 soldiers—I'm really short of manpower now, very short. "

Qi Lin also knew that what Cheng Yanqiu lacked most now were soldiers who could fight.

The sudden black tide is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity. They are like wildfires that completely reshuffle the distribution of forces on the entire permafrost tundra. After the black tide, the land of the permafrost tundra will become The initial state of no owner.

At that time, whoever's methods are fierce enough and whoever is fast enough will gain more benefits from this land.

The Kuroshio hadn't reached the Herons defense line yet, but Cheng Yanqiu was already making plans for what would happen after the Kuroshio.

The domestic development space of Cheng's consortium has been reduced to a small size by the giants in the consortium alliance, and the internal situation of Cheng's consortium has caused the consortium to be in a state of internal friction in recent years. Let the Cheng's consortium achieve substantial development, and prevent the Cheng's consortium and even the Cheng family from becoming a noun in the past tense. Cheng Yanqiu must put his hope on this cold land. Only here can he see Cheng's consortium. The future of the consortium.

The organization of the consortium alliance is not close, let alone united. If it were not for the existence of a mastermind, I am afraid that it would already be on the verge of disintegration, and when the door of the refuge is opened, human life will no longer be subject to Under the control of the mastermind, at that time, it is estimated that the consortium alliance will disintegrate in an instant, and a new war will break out again in order to compete for territory and resources.

This is something that cannot be stopped.

Just like the famous saying in a martial arts novel: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances." As long as the human species exists, wars will never stop.

Desires, grievances, incomprehension between people... There are too many reasons, too many factors, and the best way to solve these troubles is to start war after war.

The essence of life is to kill and reproduce. This is true for the lowest single-celled organisms, as well as for the tallest animals on the earth, human beings.

...

...

The night is getting darker and darker, but the whole of Herrons is not sleepy at all. On the construction site, players wearing engineering power armor are still busy, and the machinery mixing cement and concrete makes a huge roar-not only the city walls but also need to be cleaned. For reinforcement, hundreds of large and small fortresses need to be built on the hillsides on both sides. Compared with the nearly vertical city walls, the hillsides on both sides are obviously easier to climb.

The construction of the fortification has a special department, and Cheng Yanqiu and Qi Lin don't need to worry about it, and today's troops in charge of peripheral defense and security have not yet turned to the Cheng's consortium, so they can have a good night's rest tonight.

The temporary headquarters of the Cheng Consortium is located in a villa with a small courtyard, which is next to the abandoned airport in Herrons Town. Now the entire airport has been occupied by members of the Cheng Consortium. Canvas tents spread from the terminal hall to the airstrip outside.

Qi Lin, Cheng Yanqiu, Hans, Hei Kui, Raven and others are gathering in the courtyard of the villa at the moment. A huge barbecue grill is set up in the courtyard. A cow that is constantly flowing oil, a shirtless man is constantly turning the steel pipe on the grill so that the tongue of fire can evenly lick every part of the roasted cow.

Except that this cow has two heads, it is almost the same as the roast cow of the old days.

The two-headed cow is one of the most important livestock on the wasteland. It has a docile personality and rarely actively attacks other creatures. Although it mutated after being irradiated and grew two heads, the meat quality of the two-headed cow is not only harmful to the human body. It is harmless, but it has become more fresh and tender. It is simply one of the few benign mutations in the wasteland.

Of course, this benign mutation refers to livestock. If the two-headed cow is not a livestock raised by humans, but a creature living in the wild, this mutation will only greatly accelerate the extinction of the population.

Seeing the fat inside the beef continuously dripping into the flames, making crackling noises, the big man Hei Kui sitting behind Qi Lin couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva - they haven't eaten well for a while. After eating, I take that kind of cold and hard compressed dry food to deal with my stomach every day, and I can't even eat a mouthful of hot rice, let alone this delicious roasted cow.

A whole juvenile two-headed cow like this is definitely a rare food in the wasteland world, and in a barren place like the permafrost tundra, even with Cheng Yanqiu's financial resources, this time Only got two ends.

The chef's technique is very professional. While turning the steel pipe, he wields a sharp knife to continuously cut the beef. Sprinkle over top of beef.

The aroma of roasted cows caused the salivary glands of everyone present to continuously secrete saliva. The thought of eating roasted meat later made the fatigue of the day almost all forgotten.

"Isn't this baked yet? I can't help it—"

Hei Kui hadn't finished speaking when a huge explosion sounded suddenly!

Everyone was startled, and quickly stood up, looking in the direction of the explosion.

There is...the Herons Power Station!
