Warhammer: Beginning with Planetary Governors

Chapter 74: Farm construction and military expansion!

After the establishment of the Mechanicus on Ers, the first task Ron gave them was to build a new Green Wave Farm.

After all, the existing food reserves can only last about half a year.

If we don't quickly build farms and plant new crops, the Royal Court area will fall into famine again in half a year.

Therefore, the construction of the farm cannot be delayed.

After Moss's investigation, the site of the new farm was chosen to be the former huge warehouse area in the Royal Court District.

There is the most spacious space and good light.

The two technical priests, Moss and Kaul, used the farm technology of the Golden Age, combined with the special energy cores, seed breeding devices, fertilizer manufacturing machines, simulated weather devices, water purifiers, etc. moved back from the original Green Wave Farm.

By combining the existing technology and construction resources of the entire Royal Court area, a huge three-dimensional farm was designed.

Of course, that's just the design, and it will take a long time to build the entire farm.

We can only do it step by step.

After the design was completed, Wangting District launched the vigorous construction of the first phase of the new Green Wave Farm.

In order to prevent sabotage by the Horman family, all nearby areas were cleared and strict protection measures were set up.

Fortunately, the farm is located in the core area of ​​the Royal Court District and is not so easy to be attacked.

If the location is chosen in the middle or periphery, it may be subject to endless attacks and harassment.

Soon, the first phase of the new Green Wave Farm was completed.

The estimated food output can maintain the minimum consumption of the existing population in the Royal Court District and achieve circulation.

Of course, existing farms will take a long time to be fully built and cannot be automated mechanically.

The more important reason is that manpower in the Wangting area is cheaper and more cost-effective than machinery.

Therefore, the planting and care of crops on the farm will be the responsibility of specialized planters.

This is an extremely sacred job, and only the most loyal and activist families have the opportunity to be selected as plantation workers.

Those chosen ones came to the farm and saw the legendary soil that they had never seen in their lives.

That’s right, Ron also moved back a large amount of high-quality soil that had never been contaminated from the original Green Wave Farm.

Those who saw the soil all cried bitterly and knelt down to kiss it in gratitude for the gift from the great God-Emperor and the benevolent Governor-General.

They stay on the farm for a long time with a sacred mentality, taking care of every seed and seedling as if they were a baby.

Soon, the seedlings of crops were planted.

The farm is running well.

In order to prevent accidents, Ron also deployed the security machinery moved back from the original Green Wave Farm around the farm.

Unexpectedly, the energy cannon of the guard machine actually killed several spies who attempted to sneak in.

After the farm was successfully built and running, Ron turned his attention to other things.

In fact, during the construction of the farm, he summoned the main leaders of the defense force, Ari and Keith, and authorized them to recruit soldiers.

Ron plans to expand the number of defense forces from 30,000 to 80,000.

The Royal Court has enough weapons and equipment, but it just can't afford to support so many people.

Now that he had enough food, he expanded his military force by nearly 50,000 in one go.

This is already the limit of what the Royal Court can bear.

Ron didn't have to worry about recruiting and training, as he left it entirely to Ari and Keith.

They are obviously legendary characters and can definitely help train a powerful defense force.

At the same time, he also commissioned Moss and Cole to study the guard machinery in order to optimize and manufacture the existing standard laser rifles and laser cannons.

Now the entire Royal Court District is making the final mobilization for war and is working hard to produce all the materials needed for the war.

Once the defense forces have completed their training and are equipped with new weapons, he will launch a decisive battle.

At that time, he will personally lead the Royal Guards and Defense Force A to completely eliminate the Herman family and unify them!
-
With the conscription plan determined and supplies deployed, the large-scale military expansion began.

Young people and even middle-aged people of appropriate age signed up to join the army crazily, with an attitude of fighting to the death for the Royal Court.

At the entrance of the conscription office.

A thin middle-aged man who failed to meet the conscription requirements knelt on the ground and begged the defense army to make an exception and accept him.

In the past, such people were already qualified recruits.

But as food supplies increased, people's physical health improved a lot.

A middle-aged man with such a thin and sickly physique is no longer eligible for conscription.

The middle-aged man looked determined:
"Sir, please accept me.

I am determined to devote everything to His Majesty the Divine Emperor and the Governor-General!"

There was nothing else he could do.

There are five people in his family. His mother is old, his wife was recently paralyzed due to a work-related injury, and his two children are still young.

He is the only laborer in the family.

Under the current circumstances, he simply cannot feed so many people.

Only by joining the defense force can he save his family.

The salary of the defense forces was more than twice that of the workers, and becoming a non-commissioned officer could enjoy type 2 corpse starch sticks containing one-tenth of wheat flour.

Such military salary is enough to support his family.

Even if you die in battle, the pension you receive is enough to support your family for a period of time.

If you become a war hero, your name can be engraved on the stone tablet of the Holy Emperor's statue.

That is the incomparable gift and honor bestowed by the Governor!

The children of combat heroes will be given priority in being selected to join the defense force.

If you do not want to join the defense force, you can also have priority access to the major factories in the Royal Court District and get a good job.

Among them, outstanding children have the opportunity to enter the Internal Affairs Agency, the Imperial Church, and even the Mechanicus to become grassroots auxiliary personnel.

The most outstanding children will have a better chance of entering the Zhongsi College which will be established in the future.

They will study together with the children of nobles and officials and be trained as the future elites of the Royal Court.

In Ron's vision, the Zhongsi Academy he established would be different from the original Zhongsi Academy of the Empire.

It is slightly less cruel, but of course the possibility of sacrifice in learning is not ruled out.

Zhongsi Academy will admit and teach loyal and outstanding children from all walks of life based on their contributions and authority.

Including but not limited to outstanding heroic orphans, nobles, officials' children, genius prodigies, etc.

They will study together and become the elites of various institutions in the Wangting District in the future.

Of course, Zhongsi College is only in the preparation stage now and does not yet have the conditions to be established.

Such an illusory opportunity alone is enough to drive the lower-class people crazy.

They have decided to join the defense force and give everything to the benevolent Governor!
That's what the middle-aged man was like.

Whether it is to support his family or for the future of his family, he will fight to the death.

However, he lost the election, but he was unwilling to accept it!
But no matter how he begged, he was coldly rejected.

"Please, let me join you, this is my last hope!"

The middle-aged man yelled, begged, knelt down and kowtowed, and even hugged the sergeant's thighs.

But the sergeant's eyes became even colder.

He whipped the middle-aged man several times for disturbing discipline, and then asked the defense soldiers to drag him away.

If it weren't for the Governor's new rules, such people would have been shot on the spot.

"what happened?"

Yarui walked over, his brows furrowed, his scarlet mechanical eyes staring coldly at everyone.

The sergeant calmly reported the situation to Yarui.

The middle-aged man begged Yarui, his eyes determined:
"Sir, I can fight, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Governor!"
