"I can indeed provide you with soldiers," Qi Lin thought for a moment before he said slowly, "It's just not through recruitment, but through hiring." ”

"Hire?" Cheng Yanqiu repeated it with interest.

"Yes, hire. You can set up a military station in the city of steel, and if someone is willing to accept the offer to fight for you, the two sides will sign a contract directly, and the contract can come in many forms, you can hire veterans with combat experience, or you can hire rookie Bai Ding who has never touched a gun, and provide them with simple training and weapons.

As for the contract time, it can be a few months or a few years, the commission is the same as the salary, and you can also choose to settle once a week or a day when the war is tense, and you can also choose whether to renew the contract when the contract expires according to the wishes of both parties, so that although it seems to be a lot more troublesome, you need to pay a lot less money than the 'lifelong recruitment system' that lasts for 30 years and also needs to bear various personal guarantees, and you can also get a combat unit. Qi Lin said.

"Yes, but I'm probably helping you train soldiers, right?" Cheng Yanqiu squinted his eyes and looked at Qi Lin with a smile.

"Yes." Qi Lin nodded without hesitation, "These people, if they can come back alive from the battlefield in the end, will become valuable veterans, and they will also become the backbone of the mutual aid army—we just take what we need, I need experienced veterans, and you need a cheap army that can be formed in a short time." ”

"You're right." Cheng Yanqiu suddenly laughed, "If you follow your method, I can recruit three thousand soldiers with the budget originally used to recruit five hundred soldiers—I am indeed very short of manpower now, very short." ”

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

The sudden Kuroshio is a disaster, but it is also an opportunity, they are like wildfires that burn the plain, completely reshuffling the distribution of forces on the entire permafrost tundra, and after the Kuroshio, the land of the permafrost tundra will become the original state of ownerlessness.

When the time comes, whoever is fierce enough in his means and fast enough will be able to gain more benefits in this land.

The Black Tide has not yet reached the Herrens Line, and Cheng Yanqiu is already planning for what will happen after the Black Tide.

The development space of the Cheng consortium in China has been compressed by the giants in the consortium alliance, and the internal situation of the Cheng consortium has led to the fact that the consortium has been in a state of internal friction in recent years, and if you want the Cheng consortium to make great progress, so that the Cheng consortium and even the Cheng family will not become a term in the past tense, Cheng Yanqiu must put hope on this cold land, only here, can we see the future of the Cheng consortium.

If it weren't for the existence of a mastermind, I'm afraid it would have been on the verge of falling apart by now, and when the door of the shelter is opened, human life is no longer under the control of the mastermind, and at that time, it is estimated that the consortium alliance will collapse in an instant, and a new war will break out again in order to compete for territory and resources.

It's something that can't be stopped.

Just like the famous saying in martial arts: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are grievances", as long as the human species exists for one day, the war will never stop.

Desires, grievances, incomprehension between people...... There are too many reasons, too many factors, and the best way to solve these troubles is to wage war after war.

The essence of life is to kill and reproduce, and this is true of the lowest single-celled organisms, as well as the tallest animals on earth, and humans.

……

……

The night was getting deeper and deeper, but the whole of Herlens was not sleepy, and the construction site was still busy with players wearing engineering power armor, and the machinery mixing cement and concrete made a loud roar - not only the city walls needed to be reinforced, but hundreds of large and small fortresses also needed to be built on the slopes on both sides, which were obviously easier to climb than the nearly vertical walls.

The construction of the fortifications is covered by a special department, and there is no need for Cheng Yanqiu and Qi Lin to worry about it, and the troops responsible for the perimeter defense and vigilance today have not yet taken the turn of the Cheng consortium, so they can have a good night's rest tonight.

The temporary headquarters of the Cheng Consortium is located in a villa with its own small courtyard, which is next to the abandoned airport in Herrens Town, and now the entire airport has been occupied by the Cheng Consortium, and military canvas tents have spread from the departure hall to the runway outside.

Qi Lin, Cheng Yanqiu, Hans, Hei Kui, and the raven and others are gathering in the courtyard of the villa at the moment, a huge barbecue grill is set up in the courtyard, and a cow that is roasted to the point of continuous oil is strung on the steel pipe with the thickness of the wrist, and a shirtless man is constantly turning the steel pipe on the grill, so that the tongue of fire can lick every part of the roasted cow evenly.

Except that this cow has two heads, it is almost the same as a roast cow in the old days.

The two-headed cow is one of the most important livestock in the wasteland, with a docile personality and rarely takes the initiative to attack other creatures, although it has mutated after being irradiated and has grown two heads, but the meat of the two-headed cow is not only harmless to the human body, but also becomes more tender, which is simply one of the few benign mutations in the wasteland.

Of course, this benign mutation is in the capacity of livestock, and if the two-headed cow is not a human livestock, but a creature living in the wild, this mutation will only greatly accelerate the extinction of the population.

Seeing the fat inside the beef dripping into the flames and making a crackling sound, the big black kui sitting behind Qi Lin couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva - since this time, several of them haven't eaten properly, and every day they take that kind of cold and hard compressed dry food to cope with their stomachs, and they can't even eat a mouthful of hot rice, let alone this fragrant roast cow.

A whole juvenile two-headed cow like this is definitely a rare ingredient in the wasteland world, plus it is in a barren place like the permafrost tundra, even with Cheng Yanqiu's financial resources, he only got two of them this time.

The chef is very professional, turning the steel pipe and wielding a sharp knife to cut through the beef, and in between, he will grab a large handful of seasoning from a jar and sprinkle it on top of the beef.

The smell of roasted cows caused everyone's salivary glands to secrete saliva continuously, and the thought of being able to eat barbecue later, almost all of the day's fatigue was left behind.

"Hasn't this been baked yet, I'm almost over-"

Before Hei Kui finished speaking, a huge explosion suddenly came!

Everyone was startled, and quickly stood up and looked in the direction where the explosion came from.

There it is...... Herlens Power Station!
