This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 406 Oh, I knew it
In the next few days, Aitlag was almost filled to the brim with people and supplies delivered by trains.

Materials from the northern city-state continue to arrive. In addition to clothing and food, the first batch of construction machinery and materials are also arriving one after another. NHI shows the style of a professional multinational enterprise, with abundant materials, complete equipment, and various types of technical work. More than a hundred people began to promote the expansion of Aitlag.

Luye's protective group also had new tasks. One was to provide security for the reconstruction team, and the other was to send hyena mercenaries to escort engineering experts to conduct on-site surveys of Shapka, the largest city around Eitlag.

The reason is that while the interim government is expanding Aitelag, it is also exploring the possibility of rebuilding Shapka.

Shapka, about 60 kilometers north of Eitlag, was once the largest city outside the capital of the Urals. It was famous for its industrial production and higher education, and its population was also the second in the region. Because there are rich mineral and water conservancy resources in the surrounding area, it served the surrounding areas as a heavy industry base, chemical industry base and energy hub as early as the Lussen Patriotic War. However, during the Shuangxi War, this important industrial base was bombed and damaged by the First Federation. During the Luxian War, the ace troops of the Ural authorities at that time were stationed here and resisted desperately, resulting in the city being taken from the Luson Air Force. They plowed the field several times, basically destroying all the infrastructure, and surrounded, blocked, and bombarded it for two years using large-scale penetration tactics, turning this large city with a population of 300 million into rubble. .

Lu Ye has also visited many war-torn cities over the years, including Xiongmen, which had just changed hands at that time, and Hamed, which had been devastated by war for several years. But when he saw Shapka, he was still shocked by the dilapidation in front of him. .

The entire city has almost turned into a world of black and gray, without color or vitality, and smells of death and death everywhere.

Even Ge Lin looked at the scene in front of him and sighed: "I feel so friendly here..."

Lu Ye: "..."

After several attempts by the survey team, they could not even find a complete road into the city. Most of the roads were buried and blocked by debris and could not be used without engineering sorting.

The veteran who spoke to me for the first time was named Simon.

Anjie: "But...they are here, what are they going to eat?"

The veteran said coldly: "Child, where do you think the people who were kidnapped by them went?"

The engineers were still working hard, and Thorns came to Lu Ye and reminded him softly:

Everyone in the car was silent.

Finally, seeing that it was impossible to drive, the survey team had to walk into the ruined city, trudging through the rubble, surveying whether the former urban facilities still had usable value, and carrying out reconstruction planning.

"They are scavengers. They have been living in the ruins. They specialize in picking out lone people to rob and attack...like rats."

Lu Ye couldn't help but frown. There are too many hiding spots in this ruins for shooting. No matter how careful they are, as long as the opponent has received professional training and has the right firearms, they can still pose a life threat to them.

He is now also a member of the Guardian Group. As the personal guard captain of Sandra, the nominal head of the group - in fact, Sandra has no sense of existence anymore. Without a confidant who understands military affairs, the Guardian Group is almost complete. Lu Ye's private soldier.

"There are many reasons. Some people are supported by spies here. Some are illegal refugees who have no identity and cannot enter the safe zone. There are also some people who simply do not trust the safe zone established by the Western Union people and think that they are the source of suffering. There are also some Pure anarchists who like to live in this lawless world,"

"I sense someone nearby."

Among them, Lu Ye also keenly discovered some man-made traces.

"There are still people living here?"

Lu Ye frowned: "How many people are there? Are they hostile?"

Simon drove the vehicle skillfully and kept a cautious distance from the ruins of the city.

Thorns looked around and pointed to the dark corner in the ruins: "There, there...and over there, there are about ten people scattered here and there, they don't look like they are together."

"Why don't they move to a safe area?" Xiaobai asked, holding a gun and inspecting the desolation outside.

Even if the opponent's firearms are poor, their level is low, and they can't hit anyone, they still can't withstand the terrifying force of one shot at a time!
As a last resort, we had to let Jingji and Xiaobai lead people to drive them away and protect the lives of these engineers as much as possible.

After most of the day's fieldwork, everyone returned to Eitrag and held intensive discussions and discussions with Kirill. It was not until the next day that a preliminary conclusion was reached:

Reconstruction is more difficult and costly than new construction, but considering the convenience of rivers and waterways and the utilization of water and electricity resources, it is recommended to build a new urban area on the eastern outskirts of Shapka. Etlage will still serve as the administrative center and residential area of ​​St. Ural in the future, providing more and more residents with daily services, including medical care and education. The original Western Railway also remains here to undertake the function of logistics transfer.

Urgently needed new hydropower stations, water supply and drainage facilities, and a large number of building materials processing factories will be located in New Shapka, and a new road will be built between the two urban areas.

At the same time, the increasingly large-scale guard base will be moved to a flat area between the two cities, where there will be more space for training, convenient parking of weapons and equipment, and even space to plan a military airport to separate the military and civilians and ensure mutual interaction. No impact.

So in a few days, a "two cities and one belt" urban construction plan was gradually released. It was planned to use five years to build this place into a new capital with complete urban functions, becoming a beacon of hope for the peaceful reconstruction of the western Shandong region.

During this period, Lu Ye devoted all his energy to training the protective team and improving their combat effectiveness.

In addition to strengthening the training of the standing battalion and trying to conduct actual combat drills, the garrison battalion also officially completed the reorganization. A sacred flag-giving ceremony was also held, establishing that the two teams belonged to the official armed forces of the interim government and were under the direct leadership of Kirill.

Although the First Federation has publicly opposed the politicization and militarization of the Holy Religion, Kirill said with a smile:
"We didn't do it before because we were worried that he would object. Now that he has objected, we can do it - this is what the Pope himself said."

After hearing this, Lu Ye was shocked and thought it made sense!
Sure enough, we are not afraid of politicians playing hooligans, but we are afraid that the hooligans will be the Pope!

During this time, he also received good news from Huanyu:

Donghuang agreed to provide military assistance to Luxi in the form of a foreign mercenary group. As before, their identity and nationality would not be exposed to the outside world. They would also bear part of the costs and armaments, but they requested to arrange a separate meeting with Kirill to discuss how to go more in-depth. Participate in regional redevelopment matters.

If the Western Alliance countries are hesitant about Luxi affairs because they are worried about the face of the alliance leader, then Donghuang is really generous in this matter. They have all been sanctioned anyway. The worst is that if they are discovered, they will continue to impose sanctions. What else.

So Lu Ye heard Huanyu's official, polite, and slightly joyful voice on the phone:

"We have completed the selection of personnel and are preparing equipment. I believe we will meet you again soon."

Lu Ye also happily cooperated with her seriousness: "Looking forward to it!"

……

On this day, just as Lu Ye was studying with Jiji and Jialan at the headquarters on how to clear the Shapka area and ensure the safety of the construction project, Sandra suddenly walked in with a look of embarrassment on her face:

"Commander Walder...I'm sorry, can I disturb you for a moment?"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lu Ye turned around and saw that Sandra was not alone. There were a row of girls behind her, a total of six people. Judging from the distribution clothes they were wearing, they should be the group of girls rescued at Baishitan. Among them, the only one The little girl who escaped from Baishitan was also among them.

Sandra sighed and looked back at the girls: "You can tell for yourselves..."

One of the tallest and probably oldest skinny girls stood up, looked at Lu Ye and said seriously:
"Hello, Commander Walder. All of us have unanimously decided to follow the call of the Holy Lord, spend the rest of our lives to be his most devout servants, and use our lives to defend his glory, so we collectively applied: to join the ranks of the nuns .”

"Ah! This... is pretty good." Lu Ye was confused, not understanding what this had to do with him.

If you want to be a nun, just look for Sandra. Why do you look for me?
Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Sandra sighed: "What they mean is that they want to join the nun camp of the Guardian Order, learn fighting skills, and fight for their beliefs..." It seemed that she was afraid that Lu Ye would not be able to do it yet. Understand, and emphasized, "Under your leadership."

The leading girl nodded sincerely: "Please allow us to join your team, Knights of Holy Light."

"Huh?" Lu Ye was stunned.

Thorny's voice floated over from behind, neither salty nor bland:
"Oh, I knew it."
