This Terra is a little weird.

"Of course, but we are short of talent everywhere, especially in the heavy industry, which is more important than our army. Do you really think the organization will allocate a few technicians to us?"

"What else can we do? Without technicians, are we going to have to go repair the bridge?"

"Let's see. If it works, our Plan No. 2 can be implemented."

"We can't just rely on plans to fight. People below us have started to rely on plans and have no flexibility. Next, we should remove the script in the exercise. In the future, we will face more complex battlefields. Without flexible adaptability, we will suffer."

"understood."

Then Luo Chen and the staff officer entered the conference room, put down the documents, greeted everyone one by one, and then sat down and waited for everyone to arrive.

When Tallulah announced the start of the meeting, there was enthusiastic applause in the meeting room, and then it gradually quieted down.

Tallulah picked up the notebook and said, "Now we are going to start the first topic, which is about increasing agricultural production. Does anyone have any opinions?"

There was a heated discussion at the meeting. Although the integration movement was now well fed, the situation was still not optimistic due to the lack of reserve grain. Everyone knew the importance of food, but the current fiscal budget had reached its limit. If further investment was to be made in agriculture, it would probably require borrowing.

But who can they borrow money from? Workers and peasants have no money now. The nobles and capitalists were put on trial after the integration movement took over. In fact, those who survived the trial were people with no criminal records, but they didn't have much money either.

Foreign countries will not lend money even more. The attitude of the Ursus government is clear. If you support the rebels in my country, you are against Ursus and want to invade me. Under such circumstances, the number of people who dare to invest in the integration movement cannot be said to be few, but it can only be said that there are none.

However, the first person to oppose was not the bank president, but the Minister of Agriculture.

"I don't agree to continue to increase production."

"Tell me your reasons, Comrade Sean."

"It's true that our agricultural land has expanded, and last year's production campaign yielded a lot of harvests, but if this continues, the land will become hardened in a few years. Originally, our fertilizer usage was at a normal level and could be balanced, but since last year, fertilizer has been free. If this continues, even with the best technology, our soil will not be able to hold up."

The Minister of Industry at the side was puzzled: "Oh, no, isn't this fertilizer always prepared by your Ministry of Agriculture? Our factory gives you a fixed amount, don't you sell it to farmers according to demand?"

"No, our quantitative table is all written well, but I don't know that there are many different fertilizers on the market. Although the effect is not as good, they are cheaper than ours. We don't know where they come from."

The Minister of Industry turned to the Minister of Marketing and asked, "Old Huo, what's going on over there?"

"What? It's clearly written on our cargo list. This batch of fertilizers may be..."

Seeing that something was wrong, the staff officer coughed a few times hurriedly, and everyone had to stop and continue the conversation.

Tallulah crossed out the first item: "Leave this to Comrade Sean. Come up with a plan."

"Yes!"

Luo Chen and the staff officer were talking in a low voice.

"What's going on in the black market? Don't you want to do it anymore? Let them do business, not the people. If they don't want to live, then just wait to die."

"We thought the market had stabilized, but this happened. It is my responsibility to find the person who sold the fertilizer privately."

"Don't just look for the sellers, pull out their chains."

"clear."

Then, problems were solved one by one in the meeting and tasks were assigned. When it came to military matters, the documents in front of Luo Chen began to slowly disappear.

"Like I said just now, I hope the organization can allocate us some bridge-building talents. Anyway, other departments don't need them right now."

Bridge construction is a minority profession on Terra, because most people do not live on the banks of rivers, but in mobile cities. Even if they learn it, they only learn about skybridge construction. Not many people learn how to build river bridges on the ground, but the Integration Movement did accept a few such people.

According to Plan No. 2, the armored company of the integrated movement will attack the movement city in the east of Ursus through the river and the southern fortress No. 1.

And it was a real armored company, consisting of eight modified Hunter armored vehicles, four Chimera armored vehicles and two Lemanus main battle tanks.

In order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the ground forces, Luo Chen almost exhausted his spiritual energy. He even went directly to the place where the natural disaster occurred to replenish the holy weapon with high-purity source stones.

Only then were the Lemanus main battle tanks and Chimera armored vehicles brought out. Compared to the Imperial armored forces, their numbers were small, and there were not many energy batteries for ammunition and laser cannons, only enough for three days of high-intensity combat.

Luo Chen has tested it and found that the laser cannon can instantly evaporate a standard mobile city armor plate. As long as they don't collide head-on, an Imperial armored company alone can fight against a mobile city. After all, the materials used and the strength of the weapons used by both sides are not at the same level.

Unless there is someone so perverted that he can turn the earth into a magma lake, or is as mysterious as a warp demon, or there is something that has the same ridiculous combat power as those little cuties on Catachan, Luo Chen can't think of any Terran who can overturn the Imperial armored forces.

Maybe, after all, who knows what mysterious things there are on the land of Terra.

“I have no objection to this proposal.”

No team member raised any questions, so Luo Chen's proposal was passed.

"The last question is, Kazdel wants to provide us with a group of mercenaries. Everyone, please give us your opinions."

There was not much discussion this time. Most people expressed their desire to hire Sarkaz mercenaries because of their strong fighting ability. If they could bring about any favorable changes to the battle situation, that would be great.

When it was the Patriot's turn, he didn't have much to say, but just gave up speaking. After all, he was also a Sarkaz, and although everyone trusted him very much, he still chose to avoid the question.

"I, Sarkaz, have no opinion on this issue."

Shuangxing did not express her opinion on this, and then it was Luo Chen's turn to speak.

"Personally, I don't like mercenaries, but as the highest military commander of the Reunion Movement, I suggest hiring them. Although Kazdel's purpose is still unclear, the contract is impeccable."

"We have no shortage of grassroots and high-end combat forces in the integrated movement, but we are seriously lacking in mid-level combat forces, such as Stormtroopers, Black Shield Guards, Snow Monster Squad, Destroyer and Hunter Squad. Compared to the elite legions of Ursus, they are still a minority after all, so I think we still need this fresh force at this stage."

"In that case, let's vote."

Most voted in favor, some voted against, and Luo Chen finally voted in favor, while Patriot and Frost Star abstained from voting.

"Then, we will agree to Kazdel's contract. The task of receiving the task will be handed over to Comrade Kachi, the chief of staff of the headquarters, and their daily life will be handed over to the comrades of the Ministry of Agriculture. Do you have any opinions?"

"No."

"Then let's adjourn. Comrades, thank you for your hard work."

After the meeting, Kachi helped Luo Chen organize the documents, and each of them carried a pile of documents and walked towards the command center.

"General, how do we support them?"

"How to respond? The highest standards."

"what?"

"Can't you see? Kazdel seems to be planning something."

"What do you mean?"

“How many people are listed in the contract?”

"Twelve thousand... Damn... What are they going to do?"

"I don't know. Twelve thousand people, and it's a very cheap price. They probably want to implement a certain plan. And these twelve thousand people are not only opponents, but also monitors. They probably want to attract everyone's attention with this unprecedented order."

"Attract attention? That means a large group of Sarkaz mercenaries will intervene in the Ursus Civil War. The attention of various countries will be diverted, at least temporarily to Ursus. By the time they realize it, Kazdel has already completed his plan."

"Maybe. We don't know what they thought of us. What we need to do is to express our stance to their regent, Teresis. No matter what results he achieves in the end, it is a good thing to get his support. At least it is a temporary good thing. We also need it."

"Tracys, he won the Kazdel Civil War and is a strong ruler."

"Yeah, so you have to be careful when dealing with people like this. Go and prepare. I have to deal with the military reorganization first."

"Yes, General."

Then the two men separated from the command center.

Chapter 43: Welcoming

Technicians were holding data tablets recording the movement data of the Lemanus main battle tanks and Chimera armored vehicles.

"It's just incredible."

They were marveling at the performance of the tank. Even though no one on the Terra continent had ever seen such a thing, through Luo Chen's explanation, they also understood some things about the tank.

When designing a tank, no matter how good its armor and firepower are, we must return to the most realistic issue, which is the bearing capacity of domestic roads and land. If only light tanks are allowed to pass, then only light tanks can be designed, and their protection and firepower will naturally be inferior to main battle tanks.

But even if you design a heavy tank, it will be useless if your roads and dirt roads can't support it.

But Luo Chen didn't understand. The empire's tanks were really a metaphysical technology. No matter how bad the road was, as long as there were no insurmountable potholes, they could fly high.

And those technicians have become nervous now, just because Luo Chen mentioned it. In our place, the people who maintain the tanks have to wear red robes, hold incense burners and holy oil to pray for the mechanical spirits living in the tanks to make them happy, so that our tanks can continue to perform beyond their original performance.

So under the crazy shouting of a group of technical backbones, in order to save his life, Luo Chen had to put on a red robe and chanted "Praise Omnissiah!" Then he poured holy oil on the tank, burned incense on the tank and chanted prayers.

A sentence popped out of their mouths: flesh and blood are in pain, and machinery is ascending! If a few more tubes are inserted into the body one day, eh! I can’t imagine it.

Today is the day when Kazdel mercenaries come to integrate the movement control area. The chief of staff has gone to the designated location to meet them. According to the highest standards of the command, um, just mess around. (crossed out)

The chief of staff enthusiastically welcomed the Sarkaz mercenaries who came. He stretched out his hand, and the leader of the other side (seemingly) was not used to it and stretched out his hand to shake his hand.

The chief of staff smiled and said, "Thank you for coming all the way here. Please forgive us for our current situation. We will not be welcoming you here, but at Fort No. 3 in the distance. Please get in the car."

"Okay, we are here in batches, and more people will come later. What are our specific tasks?"

"It has not been decided yet. The command center is assigning tasks. We will let you know when there are tasks."

"Ok."

After the convoy entered the city, the Sarkaz mercenaries saw a prosperous Fortress No. 3. There were guards standing on both sides along the way. Although the other onlookers did not show any sign of welcome, there was surprisingly no rejection or disgust on their faces.

When they approached the headquarters, the guards on the street were replaced by stormtroopers, which immediately alerted the Sarkaz people.

In their eyes, those stormtroopers who were fully armored, well-trained, and armed with unknown firearms were more dangerous than the soldiers they knew.

"Are these soldiers trained by the Integration Movement?"

"Are you talking about the Stormtroopers? Uh, yes, but the first batch of Stormtroopers were trained by the general himself, and the current Stormtroopers are all students from the first batch."

"Student?"

"Yes, they are still trainees now. Only after being tempered on the battlefield can they become members of the Stormtroopers. Some training even needs to be carried out in actual combat."

"The selection should be difficult."

"It should be said that it is cruel. Only those who have met the basic requirements physically and mentally can become students."

The Sarkaz leader was silent for a moment.

"You have the strength to defeat Ursus."

"The integration movement cannot rely on just one unit to create victory, but everyone, everyone plays their part to win the final victory."

"In the eyes of the Sarkaz, this is a joke. Unity is false."

"Perhaps, but our integration movement is united, and our current achievements are the best proof of this."

"..."

When they arrived at the headquarters, the Sarkaz leader met Luo Chen. The Patriot did not show up, and he would meet the mercenaries later.

"Hello, General Luo Chen." The leader had a different kind of respect for Luo Chen, and it had been like this since he entered the door.

"Hello, Mr. N. I am sorry for the long journey and the financial constraints of the Integration Movement, so I was unable to host a welcome party for you all."

"No problem, General Luo Chen. Do you have any orders for next? Although our first batch only has 300 people, we are highly efficient and will not let you down."

"I'm sorry about this. There are no combat missions in the near future. Everyone is busy with construction. However, we will launch a series of attacks on the enemy in the next period of time. We will assign tasks to you at that time. Please wait."

After he finished speaking, Luo Chen’s communicator rang. It was something very important.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. N. I have something urgent to deal with right now, so I'll have to excuse myself for now."

"Take care, General Luo Chen."

The staff officer saw that this Sakaz man, who had been very arrogant just now, became very respectful after meeting Luo Chen, so he became playful.

"Mr. N, I heard that you Sarkaz people are not particular about etiquette. Where did you learn etiquette?"

"Chief of Staff, we Sarkaz are a polite race. Although we are rumored to be very bad, please don't tease us. If you meet other Sarkaz, those teasers will die miserably."

"Hey, I'm just curious. You were so indifferent to me when you saw me. Why did you change when you saw the general?"

N did not get angry, but seemed very surprised.

"You have followed the general for so long, don't you see the light behind him? It is brighter than a light bulb, and it feels very sacred."

"Ah? Won't you be blinded by the light? I can indeed see it, but it's just a tiny bit of halo. Oh, and Mr. Patriot also said that the general's light is very bright, but he's obviously not a Sakota."

"Perhaps each race or each person sees a different general. To me, he is very sacred and even makes me feel at ease, which is impossible. I have never felt at ease since I was a teenager. Moreover, he makes me want to follow him."

The staff officer was shocked. If a Sarkaz said this, unless it touched him deeply, you would probably just see silence or something else.

"You actually think the general is sacred? I feel like the word sacred doesn't fit with the Sarkaz."

"Maybe. Sarkaz are also human. At first it was the Sakota people, and now it's all human beings on earth. They all think we are demons. Humph! It's unreasonable and unforgivable! I, I said a little too much. This is the first time. Just pretend you didn't hear anything."

The staff officer looked at N with a complicated expression as he left. He had thought that some conflicts would arise when the Sarkaz came to the Reunion Movement, and he had already made twenty-four corresponding plans, but it seemed that none of them would be used.

The problem was solved just by the 50-cent special effect behind the general. How efficient!
