Chapter 46 Frans Foreign Mercenary Group
"The Arctic scientific expedition plan requires the establishment of an advanced base near the Arctic Circle, and these people can just serve as laborers." Purficott is not cold-blooded, but The problems she faced forced her to take some unreasonable steps.
The so-called establishment of an advance base near the Arctic Circle is actually a rehearsal for the establishment of a shelter.
They only have less than three years, and there is not enough room to take their time. Everything can only be done in a way that is almost quick and quick.
Because of this, if you want to establish an advance base, it is naturally impossible to recruit workers from the country or the New World and then slowly build it over there.
Although construction companies and workers will certainly need to be hired, more labor will still have to be recruited through compulsory recruitment.
After all, what Purficott wants to build is not some scientific research advance base that can only accommodate a dozen scientists, but an experimental shelter that can truly accommodate thousands or even tens of thousands of people. .
Originally, Purficott was still considering how to recruit enough labor force, but now these gangsters are just right.
Most of those who can join gangs have sound limbs and good health. Gangs do not want the disabled, the old, the weak, and the sick.
And most of them are not good people, so Purficott wouldn't say that he felt any psychological burden when he used them to death.
What's more, in this case, in order to ensure the construction deadline, the supervisor's whip is indispensable.
Perfect, a serious worker, doesn't want to use this method, but for these gang members, let's beat them to death.
Princess Anne also quickly understood what Purficott meant, so after nodding her head, she ordered the representative of the Police Headquarters and the police chief of this city who had been waiting for a long time: "You guys I heard about it, track down the gang members, send them all to prison, and then ship them to work in the New World!"
"Your Highness, the prison in Langton City cannot hold so many people..." from the Police Headquarters! The representative was a high-ranking policeman, who was considered to be of high authority on weekdays, but he was trembling in front of the eldest princess, as if he was very humble.
When Princess Anne heard what he said, she couldn't help but frown.
Purficott's plan required more than a little manpower. If she originally planned to call only the city defense troops and patrol police, she would only check the bar and related personnel.
But I didn’t expect Princess Anne to actually mobilize the Guards. This deterrence was naturally different. Naturally, Purficott’s target changed from the bar to the city where the entire gray production zone was located.
Princess Anne naturally has no objection to this. Keeping these gang members will also add instability to society. It is better to send them to the New World to play a role.
However, the problem mentioned by the representative of the Police Headquarters cannot be ignored. The prison capacity in Longton City is limited and cannot accommodate the increase of so many prisoners at once. Fortunately, after hearing what he said, Purficott came up with an idea quickly and said to Princess Anne: "Let them build a prisoner of war camp by themselves, which not only exercises their construction skills, but also gives them a place to settle. And they won't be left idle to cause any trouble
Especially after this batch is sent away, you can also throw new gang members or criminals into this prisoner of war camp, and they can continue to be used in the future. ”
Princess Anne understood what Purphycott meant, so she had no objection and supported Purphycott’s decision.
Then the gangsters in Longton City were overthrown. In the next few days, the Guards and City Defense Forces took action, and the Mounted Police of the Police Headquarters cooperated. In the next few days, they conducted a thorough sweep of the civilian areas of Longton City and arrested thousands of gang members. , all of them were thrown into the prisoner-of-war camp under construction.
During this period, there was no resistance from gangs who wanted to kill them all, but the gangs on the left and right only recruited one or two extraordinary people as thugs, how could they resist the regular army. The attack? Especially the most elite Guards of the Victoria Empire.
If mere gangsters can stop the Guards, then the French Army who lost to the Empire can really do it. I'm going to cry.
But these are all things for later. At the moment, Purficott is looking at O'Connor and Princess Anne who are wearing a beautiful red military uniform and a black bearskin hat with a look of depression and embarrassment, as well as a well-hidden fear. The Guards Chasseurs cleared away the gangsters while discussing matters about the New World.
“As for the construction of the scientific expedition base near the Arctic Circle, judging from the current situation, security issues need to be taken seriously.” Purficott set a tone for the discussion, she Knowing that Princess Anne could understand the hidden meaning of her words: "James originally recruited Mr. O'Connor in the hope that he would provide security services for the exploration team, but now it seems that he is not very qualified for this job.
Auntie Anne, can you help arrange a reliable candidate? I don’t need those aristocratic officers with professional background. I want someone with rich experience and preferably not very disciplined to take charge of this task."< br>
Faced with Purficott's evaluation of himself, O'Connor could only touch his nose in embarrassment, but could not say anything to refute.
After all, he did act very unreliable. It was just a matter of letting Perfectcott come to such a mixed place and cause such a big mess. It is really difficult for people to think that he is a Reliable person.
But Princess Anne seemed to know something about this person. She shook her head and said: "It will be difficult for me to recommend a suitable candidate for you for a while, but what is certain is that James has a good vision. This Mr. O'Connor's name is I've also heard about him.
He was an officer of Frans's foreign mercenary group. He was very brave in fighting and had a lot of clever ideas. After Frans lost the territory of the desert kingdom, their foreign mercenary group was destroyed. After he was dismissed, he was exiled to the Empire."
At this point, the expression on Princess Anne's face showed a trace of nostalgia, and then she said to O'Connor: "Back then, the Empire and France were surrounding the Desert Kingdom. When the war started, it was the Guards regiment I served that fought between the Empire and France's Foreign Legion. The troops you led, Mr. O'Connor, left a deep impression on me. They were as slippery as a catfish."
"Really? So Mr. O'Connor should still be able to fight?" Purficott showed a thoughtful look, and then asked him: "Then let you deal with the local indigenous people in the New World. Are you sure?"
After being recognized by Princess Anne, O'Connor couldn't help but straighten his wrinkled clothes, and then gave an affirmative answer: "If it's just a native of the New World, , as long as you give me enough manpower and weapons, I have no problem.”
