Chapter 135, What kind of garbage is an agent
Gu Hang told Oceana about the construction of the school, asking her to put up the structures of the three colleges first.
Osena is actually a little strange. According to what she said before, the first thing they do in education is adult education, which includes literacy and basic worker training to make it easier for people to work in factories.
It also provides four to six years of general compulsory education for children and adolescents.
This is very pragmatic behavior.
Doesn’t education cost money?
The education for adults is for short-term training so that they can be qualified for the job as soon as possible. Even if it is just so-so, it is better than having no manpower and not being able to play its role; the education for children and teenagers is to focus on the future, plus there is little desire to use it and overdraft. Child labor with low future potential and low production efficiency.
However, in terms of education, in addition to students taking off their jobs, a large number of full-time teachers are also needed. And these people all need government financial support, all of which are costs.
As for the teaching building, that is actually an easy thing to handle. There are only a few houses. During the construction process of Fuxing City, it is not difficult to plan a place for special construction.
But according to the Governor's current statement, these three colleges can be regarded as higher education levels.
How long has it been since such a school existed on Raging Star? Most of the so-called intellectuals in the wasteland, at least those that Oceana had seen, followed the path of private education and small-scale elite training, relying on private teachers, education from elders, and strong family backgrounds.
She herself had a bit of this idea.
Engage in higher education?
It's not bad, but isn't it a bit too early?
Apart from anything else, I can’t even find a teacher with enough quality.
That's just the comprehensive college. Chuji College can also rely on recruiting people from the army, or even shamelessly inviting Phoenix to come, or even sending people to the Phoenix Monastery for further training.
But what about technical colleges?
Among the forces under the Governor's command, Zheng'er Ba Jing was the only one who was considered an outstanding technician, and Wu Jiarong was the only one. The rest of her students were just ordinary junior specialists who could not shoulder the responsibility of teachers.
The same goes for comprehensive colleges. Should we let local intellectuals from inner cities who have received so-called elite education and family education be allowed to teach? It's not impossible, but we have to wait until the suitable ones are identified among them, and then they have to go through the transformation of Zhongji Academy.
She raised these questions to the governor, but Gu Hang did not force her to execute them, but gave her an explanation.
Of course, the so-called explanation does not mean to explain some system or the like.
"It's not that we need to use it now. I know everything you said. It's just that we need to set up the framework first. Even if the content taught is not good enough, it can always be used for teenagers who have completed compulsory education and are willing to learn further. There is a place for those with potential. Things must be done step by step, but there must always be a start.”
"I understand."
After taking the words, Oceana left.
Regarding education, even without the new [Building] interface, Gu Hang still had to do the same thing, but now it was moved forward, and there was a way to spend gifts to help.
The bonus given by the building system is not much, but the most important thing is long-term. Whether it is the bonuses from those colleges or the two types of factories, as long as the core area under its control can maintain stable production, it can be effective for a long time.
Compared with the temporary cost, the long-term output is definitely valuable.
Of course, if there is war every now and then, and the factories, schools, etc. with the bonus of the building system are destroyed, there is nothing to say.
……
After Oceana left, Denison Henry followed shortly after.
This guy just came from Junk Town early this morning.
It's not that he came here specifically to serve as a consultant to Gu Hang, but he did have something to take care of.
"Need more ordnance?"
"Yes." When he responded, Henry looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed. The last time he came to ask for ordnance supplies, he seemed to have said that this was the last batch. It had only been a week, but he wanted it again right away.
But there was nothing he could do.
He is now not only a consultant to the New Alliance's Ministry of Commerce, but also a businessman who has pledged his allegiance to the Governor. But at the same time, in the past two months, he has also become a rising star in Garbage Town. The agent he dreamed of in the past is now at his fingertips, and he has indeed obtained it. .
Now, while he is working for the Governor, he also has to think about Garbage Town.
Fortunately, in his consideration, the two did not conflict.
He organized his words and continued: "The main thing is the threat from the green-skinned orcs. The number of those ghosts seems to have increased a lot compared to the past two years. We... the scavengers in Garbage Town have given up on several It produced a good scavenging site; adventurers also gathered and fought several battles with the green-skinned orcs, but to be honest, the physical strength of those green beasts was too high. Even if their weapons were relatively simple, their ability to fight alone was There are still too many armed adventurers.”
At this point, he paused, looked up at the Governor's face, and then continued: "Affected by those green-skinned orcs, various waste recycling industries in Junk Town have lost about 20% of their output. If the situation continues to deteriorate, this number will have to be expanded. The last batch of weapons sold to Junk Town will definitely be useful. We have armed more than 3,000 scavengers, which can be said to have withstood the intrusion of those greenskins. The losses were huge. Not only were we unable to recapture the original scavenging site, we also didn’t know how long we could hold on.”
After listening to Denison Henry’s report, Gu Hang said thoughtfully: “Then what do you need?”
"More ordnance and more powerful heavy equipment. The armed adventurers in Junk Town can no longer use ordinary rifles and risk their lives to fight those orcs in the ruins of the tower." Henry said firmly, "The equipment of the former alliance is not enough. , I need the G9 series rifles from your regular army, There are also artillery. It would be great if there are armored vehicles! Junk Town can exchange everything for it. All our future output can be supplied to Fuxing City and sold by Fuxing City. Whether it is metal raw materials or hot gray stone, the price can be higher. Get some discounts! ”
A bright smile appeared on Gu Hang's face:
"Well, let's do this. I'll give you about twenty infantry fighting vehicles, a dozen tanks, hundreds of heavy artillery, and eight thousand full sets of individual equipment. What do you think?"
Henry was stunned.
He was trying to bargain with the Governor.
He knew that whether it was infantry fighting vehicles or artillery, the New Alliance Legion itself was still in the process of reorganizing its army, and each unit was still insufficient. Officers at all levels would urge the General Logistics Department to ration the corresponding equipment as soon as possible. in place.
He had no hope of those two things. He just wanted to use this sky-high price method to get a G9 series rifle that was more reliable than locally produced firearms.
As long as they have this thing, they can have a certain advantage against the green-skinned orcs with three to five times the number of people, instead of like now, they need ten times the number of people to stabilize the defense, and nearly two times the number of people. Only with a tenfold advantage would one dare to launch an attack.
Dennison Henry has seen the capabilities of the G9 series rifles. They are easy to maintain, durable, and adaptable to various environments. In addition to being much more powerful than local firearms, they are also lighter and more accurate.
To put it bluntly, when you really have no choice, a bayonet can be used as a good long-handled melee weapon, which is more reliable than carrying an extra large knife with you.
As a result, I was thinking of getting one or two thousand sets of equipment, and was even willing to sell various raw materials at reduced prices. But the Governor asked for eight thousand sets, plus heavy artillery and infantry fighting vehicles?
Is this a surprise? Just be scared!
Henry immediately wondered, was this the Governor making fun of himself?
But as soon as his thoughts changed, he had an even more horrifying idea.
Why does the amount of equipment mentioned by the Governor sound so much like a complete infantry division?
Of course he didn't know the specifics of the army's reorganization, but he had some rumors about it.
Thinking of this, when he raised his head again, he already had a look of horror on his face.
But the smile on the corner of the Governor's mouth seemed to him to be full of coldness.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, he asked: "Your Majesty the Governor... you don't need so many ordnance... Junk Town may not be able to get so many raw materials to buy at the same time..."
But Gu Hang didn’t plan to play any more riddles with him, and his next words were quite straightforward:
"I know that Junk Town cannot afford this price, but I can barely accept it if the entire Junk Town is used as repayment."
The suspicion was confirmed. Henry suppressed his uneasiness and forced a smile: "Do you want to take over all of Junk Town?"
"Of course, is there anything wrong with this?" Gu Hang said, "Garbage Town is a member of the Alliance and is an important raw material supply base for the Alliance. Now, there is a serious threat from the green-skinned orcs, and of course I will not sit idly by. . By the way, the production methods and power structure of Garbage Town are not very pleasing to me. They must be aligned with Fuxing City.”
Henry's heart was already in chaos.
I have worked hard for so many years, and now I finally got the position of an agent in Garbage Town. But after just half a month, Garbage Town is completely destroyed?
But can I resist?
Obviously impossible.
His position as agent was supported by the Governor.
In fact, the Governor asked him to be the agent, which was clearly a preparation for taking over Junk Town one day.
Of course he understands it himself.
He just didn't expect that this day would come so quickly that he hadn't even straightened his butt yet.
"Go back and think about it carefully. I hope that my army will only have to deal with those green-skinned orcs by then."
Gu Hang gave him the last words.
……
Denison Henry didn't stay in Fuxing City longer and got on the bus back to Garbage Town that day.
The two hundred kilometers from Fuxing City to Garbage Town would take seven or eight hours to drive, and that's assuming the road is smooth.
But the trade routes are now open.
On the way back, Henry thought about the whole thing carefully.
It didn't take long for him to figure it out.
What's so opaque about this?
In Junk Town, I was just an agent who had just become an agent with the support of the Governor's business. He was not even the biggest agent among all the agents. On the contrary, if you use your relationship with the Governor to enter the new alliance system, isn't that position much more grand than being the leader in Garbage Town?
What's more, will the future alliance be as bad as it was in the past ten years?
The way he looks after the governor and retains the shell of the so-called 'alliance' is a matter of centralization.
It is foreseeable that the new alliance will expand rapidly. There are people under the Governor who have guns, money and righteousness, and there are starships in the sky to support... In the future, the authority of the new alliance will become more and more powerful, and the places under its direct control will become larger and larger. Don't hurry up and get there. , what are you waiting for?
Whether it is to become a high-ranking official under the new alliance system, or to stick to the current profession and become a big businessman, it is obviously a much more promising future than hanging around in the garbage town.
What's more, can I stop this?
As soon as the car drove out of Fuxing City, he already began to regret the way he couldn't carry it in front of the governor just now.
Why do you have to sit on the trash town side when you talk?
What kind of garbage is Garbage Town Agent?
He is obviously a consultant to the Ministry of Commerce!
Frustrated, he quickly thought of a remedy.
He chatted with the driver for a few words, and the car quickly turned towards the abandoned cave area of Wei Xing City.
Henry met Patel there, and through his old friendship with him, he contacted Perbov, learned the location of his battalion, and then hurried over.
In Sanchi Town, Henry saw Purbov who had completed the task of suppressing bandits.
He really didn't know that Sanchi Town was a gangster den before. At most, he knew that it was closely related to the looters and that it was an important place for selling and hiding stolen goods. But he really didn't know that the whole town was Bandits' den.
He first praised him, saying that it was a great good thing that Purbov wiped out this place. At least five to six thousand bandits were killed in one battle, and the two hundred kilometers from Fuxing City to Garbage Town was now clear.
Where has Purbeuf been so praised and boasted? Everyone was a little embarrassed by the boast.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Denison Henry took the opportunity to make an invitation.
Instead, Purbov was asked to walk another fifty kilometers northeast.
That's garbage town.
"You want me to attack Garbage Town?" Purbov's head shook like a rattle, "That's not possible. I won't make such a big move without military orders."
"Major Purbov, you misunderstood. I don't want you to lead the team to attack Junk Town. I just want you to station the team not far from Junk Town. Of course, I also understand that such an important action definitely requires the governor's approval. . I came to you with the intention of contacting the Governor through your military line.”
Purbov thought for a moment: "Do you want to borrow my soldiers to show off the strength of the tiger?"
Henry clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes. The Governor intends to launch a large army to take down the town. I was thinking, if we have to go to that step, wouldn't it be a disadvantage for us people?"
