"I can indeed provide you with a source of troops," Qi Lin thought for a while before saying slowly, "it's just not through recruitment, but through employment."

"Hot?" Cheng Yanqiu repeated with interest.

"Yes, hire. You can set up a military station in the City of Steel. If someone is willing to accept employment to fight for you, both parties will directly sign a contract. There can be many styles of contracts. You can hire veterans with combat experience, or hire Bai Ding, a rookie who has never touched a gun, and provide them with simple training and weapons.

As for the contract time, it can be several months or several years. The commission is the same as the salary. When the war is tense, you can choose to settle one week or one day. When the contract expires, you can also choose whether to renew the contract according to the wishes of both parties. In this way, although it seems a lot of trouble, compared with the lifelong recruitment system that requires thirty years and requires various personal protection, you can pay much less money, and you can also obtain a combat-ready force." Qi Lin said.

"That's right, but I should be the one who is helping you train soldiers, right?" Cheng Yanqiu narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Lin with a smile.

"Yes." Qi Lin nodded without hesitation, "If these people can come back alive from the battlefield in the end, they will become valuable veterans, and they will also become the backbone of the Mutual Aid Association army. We just need each of them to get what they need. I need experienced veterans, and you need a cheap army that can be formed in a short period of time."

"You're right." Cheng Yanqiu suddenly laughed, "If you follow your method, I could recruit 3,000 soldiers. I really lacked staff now, very short of staff."

Qi Lin also knew that what Cheng Yanqiu lacked the most now is the soldiers who could fight.

The sudden black tide is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity. They are like wildfires that start to prairie fire, completely reshuffling the distribution of forces on the entire permafrost tundra. After the black tide, the land of the permafrost tundra will become the initial state of uninheritance.

At that time, whoever has the fiercest means and speed is fast enough, the more benefits he can gain from this land.

Before the Hellensis defense line had arrived, Cheng Yanqiu was already making plans for what happened after the Hellensis.

The development space of the Cheng Consortium in China has been compressed by the giants in the consortium alliance, and the situation within the Cheng Consortium has led to the consortium being in a state of internal friction in recent years. If the Cheng Consortium wants to develop greatly, the Cheng Consortium and even the Cheng family will not become a past term. Cheng Yanqiu must put his hope on the cold land here. Only here can we see the future of the Cheng Consortium.

The consortium alliance is not close, let alone united. If it weren't for the existence of a master's brain, he would probably have been on the verge of disintegration. When the gates of the refuge open, human life will no longer be subject to the control of the master's brain. At that time, the consortium alliance will collapse in an instant, and a new war will break out again in order to compete for territory and resources.

This is something that cannot be stopped.

Just like the famous saying in martial arts novels once said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grudges." As long as the human species exists for a day, war will never stop.

Desire, grudges, and incomprehension between people... There are too many reasons, too many factors, and the best way to solve these troubles is to start one war after another.

The essence of life is to kill and reproduce, such as the lowest single-celled creatures, as are the highest animals on earth and humans.

...

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but Helens was not sleepy at all. On the construction site, players wearing engineering power arsenal were still busy. The machinery that stirred the cement concrete emitted a huge roar. Not only did the city walls also needed to be reinforced. Hundreds of large and small fortresses were also needed to be built on the hillsides on both sides. Compared with the nearly vertical city walls, the hillsides on both sides were obviously easier to climb.

The construction of fortifications is subject to special departments, so Cheng Yanqiu and Qi Lin do not need to worry about it. Today, the troops responsible for the peripheral defense and policing have not yet been the Cheng Consortium, so they can have a good rest tonight.

The temporary command of the Cheng Consortium is located in a villa with a small courtyard, close to the abandoned airport in Helens Town. Now the entire airport has been occupied by the people of the Cheng Consortium, and military canvas tents spread from the waiting hall to the plane runway outside.

Qi Lin, Cheng Yanqiu, Hans, Heikui, and Raven were gathering in the yard of the villa. A huge barbecue grill was skewed in the yard. A ox that was grilled was constantly grilled on the steel pipe as thick as a wrist. A shirtless man was constantly turning the steel pipes on the grill so that the flame could evenly lick every part of the grilled cow.

Except for this cow with two heads, it is almost the same as the roast cow in the old era.

Two-headed cows are one of the most important livestock in the wasteland. They are gentle and rarely attack other creatures on their own initiative. Although they mutate after being radiation and grow two heads, the meat of the two-headed cows is not only harmless to the human body, but also becomes more tender. They are simply one of the few benign mutations in the wasteland.

Of course, this benign mutation is in the sense of livestock. If the two-headed cattle are not livestock raised by humans, but living creatures in the wild, this mutation will only greatly accelerate the demise of the population.

Seeing the grease inside the beef dripping into the flames, making crackling sounds, the big guy Hei Kui sitting behind Qi Lin couldn't help swallowing a big saliva for a while. They had never eaten anything well. They took the cold and hard compressed dry food every day to deal with their stomachs, and they couldn't even eat a bite of hot rice, let alone the fragrant roasted milk cow.

Such a whole young double-headed cow is definitely a rare ingredient in the wasteland world. In addition, it is in a barren land like the permafrost tundra, even with Cheng Yanqiu's financial resources, he only got two of them this time.

The chef's technique is very professional. While turning the steel pipe, he waved a sharp knife to cut holes on the beef. In this gap, he would also grab a large handful of prepared seasonings from a jar and sprinkle them on top of the beef.

The aroma of roasted cow caused everyone present to secrete saliva in salivation. When they thought they could eat barbecue later, almost all the fatigue during the day was thrown behind.

"Is this not baked yet? I can't help it."

Before Hei Kui could finish his words, a huge explosion suddenly came!

Everyone was startled and stood up and looked in the direction where the explosion sounded.
Chapter completed!
