Chapter 47: Decision
(PS: Today, a friend came from afar. I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm happy. I've drunk a little bit and it's too late to get home. I only have time to revise a chapter and go to sleep for a while. I'll update today. Thank you for your understanding.)
The camps in the entire mining area can accommodate up to 500 people, which can only be achieved when it is very crowded, because the barracks were actually built for the 200-man in the indigenous army. It was actually the limit to be able to accommodate 500 people. Before that, thousands of people in the mining area were crowded in this barracks, and the entire barracks had long been unusable. However, in order to deal with the attacks of the indigenous army, everyone was worried, so they barely supported them for a while.
After that, Hao Qi broke through ten thousand troops and waited for the indigenous negotiating mission. Although the conditions had not been agreed, it was probably to prevent and stabilize Hao Qi. So in the next few days, a large number of enslaved descendants were sent here, and at the same time, a large number of food, clothing, fuel, etc. In just seven days, almost 60,000 descendants had gathered in this mining area, and only more than 60,000 descendants were left... There are basically only so many descendants in the entire Taurus City...
As more and more people arrived, former comrades, former partners, and former couples were silently looking for each other. Some found people cried loudly, while others who had not found continued to remain silent. The entire mining camp fell into extreme sadness. The sadness in silence was like a volcano that was about to erupt, terrifying and deep.
Even so, this group of more than 60,000 arrivals were not free. The commander carefully screened every time he took over a group of people, and he would use magic to detect whether there were indigenous people involved. This approach also found many officers who were originally under the head of state army, and several of them were core members of the head of state army, and two more were higher than the commander.
With the addition of this group of people, a simple but efficient administrative organization was quickly established. All of this has long been familiar to them. The Head of State is a person who attaches great importance to the superiority and order of the upper and lower levels. In his opinion, no order means the weak, and he is a person who hates or even hates the weak. Therefore, when the Head of State established an army, the first thing was to build an administrative organization with extremely efficient and orderly administrative organization, and then the army existed. Now, most of the more than 60,000 people are under the military command of the head of state. This set of administrative organization has long been familiar with them, and it is not a big deal to use it again. The entire mining area quickly moved towards order under the operation of this set of administrative organization.
More than 60,000 people were divided into four parts, among which the first-level or above professionals became officers, the fifth-level or above professionals became combat soldiers, the fifth-level or above professionals became auxiliary soldiers, and the remaining people were logistics troops. Although this army has no combat effectiveness yet, it has been enslaved and has been weak after being renovated for at least one week. It is impossible to even have basic combat combat, but the skeleton of this army has been rebuilt.
Come, and after the shocking change of the death of the head of state and the enslavement of slaves in the following months, the hearts of these more than 60,000 people have long been refined into steel. They all have friends and comrades-in-arms, and even lovers died at the hands of the indigenous people. There is also the death of the head of state they originally hoped for. They are irreconcilable with the indigenous people. The previous experience of slaves was even more painful. Now they are really not afraid of death. As long as this army recovers, their combat effectiveness will be much stronger than before the incident!
Then, the first snow fell...
After the first snowfall, the whole earth suddenly turned silvery white. The snow fell in the early morning and it still did not stop in the morning. Someone measured the thickness of the snow. The snow had accumulated more than ten centimeters and would fall into it when stepped on it. Moreover, looking at the snow that was still falling, the thickness of the snow was probably increasing, and the temperature also dropped sharply. In just one day, the temperature dropped from seven or eight degrees to around the freezing point. This is winter.
"...The food is enough for more than 60,000 people to eat for at least one and a half months. These days, the indigenous people have not made any promises. Apart from sending people over, they send a lot of food supplies every day, but... how do we store so much food? Although it is winter that we don't have to worry about rot and destruction, we can't always pile it on the dam like this, right?"
"The food problem is simple, or for the time being, at least you don't have to worry about rot, right? But what to do with the clothing problem? Do you know what the temperature outside is now? The snow is falling, and I dare to guarantee you that within three days, the temperature will drop to about minus ten degrees Celsius. The geography of Taurus City is relatively north, unlike Virgin City and Pisces City, it is said that the temperature here will drop to about minus ten degrees Celsius every winter. Our clothes are enough? At least three months in the whole winter, which is enough to freeze one-fifth of us to death!"
"...Clothes? Isn't the clothes that the indigenous people promised to give us enough? We have calculated before that thick cotton clothes and fur clothes will not be frozen when heating charcoal and coal, and the quantity is enough. Is there any problem?"
"The problem is big! It's the same as what you just said that enough food for one and a half months to eat! Can you survive the winter in a month and a half? The conditions are good if you give us four months of food! The conditions are indeed stated, and since the negotiations are over, the indigenous people have started to send people, clothes, food and supplies, but what about the time? From the end of the negotiations to the snow, how much time do we have? How much can we send? This is the food for you, and so is our clothes!"
"…Well, what about the fuel part and the rest of the material part? The same goes for the statistics?"
"Of course, the fuel is only enough for us to use for one and a half months to two months. If there is more, it is not impossible to guarantee it. I guess we have to cut down wood to use it. This is much more than clothing and food. At least we can get wood at any time in the wild."
"There is also the problem of living place. Before it snows, you can barely support it. Put some flat ground, add dead grass and leaves, put some blankets or clothes on it. As long as the fire remains undying, you can still sleep. But now? I don't know how to arrange the sleeping place today. Everyone wants to live in a house, but there are only so many rooms. Some people have built a simple shelter, but the mining area is so large, and it is not realistic to live in 60,000 people. Some people suggest entering the underground area of the mining area, but is that an environment where people can live? There is no ventilation port at all. It will definitely suffocate when so many people live in it, and it is also..."
“…I know, I know…”
The commander and several senior executives were all having a headache, with more than 60,000 people, and all kinds of things were piled up. Even if there was no threat from the indigenous army, the threat of winter, the threat of food, the threat of clothing, the location of clothing, etc.... The things were in a mess, and these were the most urgent troubles. If not solved, these more than 60,000 people would die at least one-fifth or even more in winter, and there were also some troubles that would be encountered soon, such as when winter came, the monsters in the wild would become more and more powerful, and how should they defend at that time...
After much discussion, no conclusion was drawn at the end. Everyone felt that the indigenous people could only complete the peace agreement as soon as possible and let them deliver all the agreed materials as soon as possible. As for the accommodation problem, they would first build a simple shelter to temporarily solve it. As for the future...
At this time, Hao Qi, who had been silent at this meeting, suddenly said: "Let's go to Taurus."
"What?"
Everyone didn't come back to their senses for a while, so they could only stare at Hao Qi blankly, and Hao Qi repeated again: "Let's go to Taurus City."
"Take everyone with you, take all the supplies, leave the mining area, and go to the main city."
Hao Qi stood up from his position and said bluntly: "Then we occupy Taurus City!"
"We didn't tell us anything in advance, and when we came into contact with Mito, we immediately killed all the arrivals, but after we encountered their unmatched power, we immediately agreed to make peace. We also hope to use our power to deal with their great enemies. What is such a good thing in this world?"
Hao Qi continued with a sneer: "How can we repay kindness with kindness with kindness? Repay grudges with straightness and repay kindness with kindness! So..."
