Son of Heaven

Chapter 370: The Sound of Cannons in the Distance

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhiyong asked a little confused.It stands to reason that Liang Chen should be happy.

After all, the enemy is at present, the more fighters there are, the better, the more hope of victory, why does it look like he is 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 closely behind him, acting as his interpreter.

Patriarch Casmiro and a group of people were standing beside Yao Weilin, watching with delight that his group of fighters were divided in order and entered the training ground in a neat line. The clansmen must be obedient, and then obedient. [

Patriarch Pangdoli stood beside them excitedly gesticulating and talking to them. The faces of the chiefs next to him were full of envy and anger, and their eyes were all red, as if there was some great benefit for them. I didn't get it, and I was so angry.

Laman stood aside, waiting, looking up at this side. When he saw Liang Chen approaching, he immediately shouted excitedly. When the chiefs heard his words, they all turned and walked towards Liang Chen. come over.

"Liang Chen, how are you? Are my soldiers strong enough? 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, they will become The best fighter." Casmiro walked up to Liang Chen and laughed, not without showing off.

"It's really good." Liang Chen nodded, and a group of chiefs were overjoyed. Now that they received Liang Chen's compliment, they felt like something, and they were so happy, "However, there seem to be too many people." Liang Chen What happened next took them by surprise.

"What's the matter? Is there too many people, which will make Chaoyang a little overburdened? It doesn't matter, we can bring our own dry food for each tribe to ensure the logistics supply, so you won't worry too much." Casmiro hurried Said.

"No, that's not what I'm talking about." Liang Chen shook his head.

"What does that mean?" Several chiefs were a little confused.

"What I want to say is that you didn't seem to follow my request, but almost all of your young and middle-aged people were recruited into the army. Otherwise, how could there be more than 4000 people? You know, the seven major tribes plus Together, there are only a little over 5000 people at most. Excluding the old, young, women and children, your young and middle-aged people will not exceed 5000 at most. Now it is good. With the addition of Chief Pangdoli’s soldiers yesterday, it is now approaching the [-]-person mark. .

In war, death and disability are unavoidable.Let me ask, if you kill all the young and middle-aged people who can engage in production and disable them, even if you win the battle, how can you continue to produce?continue to develop? "Liang Chen shook his head, sighed and said.

Several chiefs looked at each other, they were all startled, they really hadn't thought of this question.What Liang Chen told them yesterday, they just followed the general direction. In fact, they still kept the idea that the more soldiers the better, they came as much as they wanted, and the result is now.

"Cough, Liang Chen, of course we understand your painstaking efforts, and we are also very touched. You can think of the future for us. But, it's not our fault. There is nothing we can do to defend our homeland. It's true that we can't stop their enthusiasm." Casmiro coughed lightly, spread his hands and said helplessly.The facts are indeed as he said, when soldiers fight, and it is a just battle that they take for granted, the enthusiasm of young and middle-aged people in the Black Forest to sign up is unprecedentedly high, and it is really impossible for the city walls to stop it.

"Chen, what you said is also reasonable, but we can also understand the painstaking efforts of the chiefs. How about we cut down 2000 people in line with the principle of better troops and reduced administration, and incorporate them into our engineering team and rear construction forces? At present, there are only about 3000 troops left, so it is easy to train in this way.

In fact, we don't have to worry about the problem of soldiers. After all, the remaining tribes will be alert in the end and will automatically send soldiers to us. In this case, the remaining tribes can at least gather 4000 soldiers. In this case, we have about 7000 people, plus our special forces of nearly [-] people in Chaoyang, and relying on the strategic depth of this vast and boundless Black Forest, there should be no problem. " Yao Weilin suggested from the side.

"Okay, that's it. After all, our cities also need to be built, and we need to develop production and guarantee logistics. The joining of young and middle-aged labor is also extremely necessary and necessary to speed up our urban construction. After all, we can't just Fight the war, don’t think about the future. We need to build while fighting. When the battle is almost done, our first port is also almost built. In this way, relying on this city, we can fully develop in depth and realize our economic strategy. The target." Liang Chen nodded and said.

Those chiefs looked at each other, and they couldn't help showing deep worry in their eyes, "Liang Chen, we only have 7000 troops, and they are all recruits, can we do it? You know, the Katxi tribe It has a population of 34, and has already strongly integrated all major tribes into the city. At present, the standing force has reached more than 5, and it is still recruiting. It is said that it will recruit about 10 people, and their people They are all veterans who have been in the army for many years, and they have rich combat experience. We rely on 7000 people to fight against their 10 people, this..." Casmiro swallowed, a little afraid of the resemblance.

Liang Chen smiled lightly, not blaming him.

After all, he is a native of the primitive jungle, and his strategic thinking is still in the state of cold soldiers relying on the number of people to determine the outcome. He doesn't understand the battle of hot soldiers at all.

During China's War of Resistance Against Japan, especially during the War of Liberation, let alone seven thousand against one hundred thousand, even if they fought against encirclement several times, the Red Army would face dozens of times more enemies' encirclement and interception. Moreover, their weapons and equipment and Compared with the army of a certain party, it is one in the sky and one in the earth, and the difference is too far, but they can still win battles and create miracles.

"The number of people is not a problem. As long as the training is proper, the discipline is strict, and the style is brave, even if there are only 700 people, they will definitely lose. One hundred thousand sheep can't beat ten lions. This is the simplest truth." Liang Chen didn't do anything either. Too much explanation, just smiled slightly. [

"Okay, let's do as 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." Casmiro didn't insist anymore, and said with a smile .

Patting Liang Chen on the shoulder, the chiefs had indescribable gratitude in their eyes.

To be honest, if it is a last resort, who is willing to send his son Lang Zidi to the front line to fight?In fact, Casmiro didn't say that his five sons were all among these recruits.

"This, this, Liang Chen, it is said that all the people from Chief Pangdoli's tribe have moved here?" A chief next to him asked cautiously.

"Yes, they moved here last night, and I have already arranged board and lodging for them." At this time, Li Tie next to him took the conversation and said, but his eyes were full of heartache.There is no way, even if there is a possibility of making money, but now he is spending cash to feed and house these people, it's no wonder this top miser doesn't feel sorry.

"So that's it, that, that, hehe, Chief Pangdoli's brain reaction is really fast, and he is really lucky..." The chief hesitated, but he was really embarrassed to mention that his tribe wanted to move here too. Require.

After all, eating, drinking, and sleeping, which one does not require money?He was really embarrassed to make this request.

However, don't mention it or mention it.After all, the young and middle-aged men in the tribe will go to battle in the future, and the Black Forest in front is the strategic depth, and the base is in the rear. Is it really possible to throw a group of women, children, old and young without the protection of soldiers in the former settlements? Does it matter in the valley?That is too dangerous, right? !

The other chiefs also had this concern, but, considering the actual situation, they were all embarrassed to make this request.

Li Tie saw what they were thinking, and his heart ached even more, bleeding from the pain, forcing a smile on his face, "Chiefs, I just want to talk to you about this matter. Brother Chen yesterday Just tell me, it is not safe for your women, children, old and young to stay in the forest without the protection of soldiers, but if we spread our forces to protect them, we are powerless now, so Brother Chen means to let everyone fight with peace of mind, Simply move your family members and other clansmen here. Anyway, this city is big enough to live in. However, you must not abandon the production in the rear. After all, relying on Chaoyang to provide food, I am afraid It won't last long." Li Tie said with a heartbroken smile.

Liang Chen next to him glared at him, blaming him for being too narrow-minded, so Li Tie pretended he didn't see it.

Several chiefs were ecstatic immediately, "Don't worry, don't worry, we won't bother Chaoyang too much, as long as we can provide us with a place to live and relatively concentrated personnel for protection, we can do the rest by ourselves." solve."

"That's fine. In addition, I think these women, children, old and young should also do something to create some wealth for the better construction of our city. I heard that most of you do this, right?" Li Tie He took out the straw puppy again and flashed it in front of everyone's eyes.

"Of course it will. This is an ancestral handicraft. We have never thrown it away." Several chiefs kept nodding, but they wondered, can this kind of thing that everyone knows really create any wealth?They don't understand it.

"Great, that's fine. You can go and move all your clansmen here later, and then those who know this kind of craftsmanship, and those who are very skillful in your clan, go there to report, I At that time, it will be time to register and make a register, and organize you to carry out production." Li Tie grinned, finally showing a smile on his face, which also made Liang Chen next to him keep shaking his head, dumbfounded.

This kid is a typical wild goose plucking iron cock, why didn't I see it at the beginning?

Just now, a few muffled rumbling sounds suddenly sounded in the faint distance, like thunder, and made a group of people curiously look in the direction of the sound.
