#461 - Chapter 461 No chance if you are late

Dongfang Chen has already provided a basic training program.

Theoretical lessons: Various performance indicators of the mecha, operation methods of the mecha…

All knowledge about mecha-related aspects has been fully packaged into videos for them to watch and learn on their own.

Basic lessons: Forward, backward, jumping, running, turning…

Using the knowledge learned from the professional courses, practice these basic operations one by one until you can skillfully control them as if they were an extension of your own body.

Advanced lessons: Learn a combat skill.

Each pilot practices the corresponding combat skills according to their own strengths. In this aspect, you can find coaches who are proficient in combat to guide you. As for those who don't know combat, that's impossible. If they don't know combat, they can't be selected as pilots.

Practical lessons: Combat practice.

Practice is the only standard for testing truth. Whether it's a mule or a horse, pull it out and practice.

This is the last step, and it will also be the step where everyone grows the fastest.

…

Meanwhile, inside the underground main base in the Wulan Neutral Zone.

Special operations team members have also begun training in mecha operation.

Since Lu Guyun, the mayor of Bingcheng City, Songjiang Province, defected to Dongfang Chen in March, six full months have passed.

Over this long period, Lu Guyun has successively brought over two million people from Songjiang Province.

He has already emptied several cities, and even the mayors of those cities have followed him under the influence of his sugar-coated bullets.

Why are those settlement leaders willing to give up the opportunity to be local emperors and follow Lu Guyun to the Wulan Neutral Zone?

There are two main reasons.

The first is the geographical location.

The three northeastern provinces have been repeatedly and secretly controlled by the Great Sun Country several times, and everyone feels insecure. The Chinese military doesn't interfere, and the Great Sun Country is not easy to mess with, so it's better to hide far away.

The second is the weather.

Songjiang Province is located at the northernmost tip of China, with low temperatures year-round, and even lower this year, with the highest temperature not exceeding 20 degrees Celsius.

Low temperatures are one thing, but there are no heating conditions and not enough food.

Being the leader of a settlement seems like you have a little power, but you don't even eat as well as ordinary people in the Wulan area, so what's the point of being this local emperor?

Combining these two reasons, plus the good conditions offered by Lu Guyun, they simply followed him.

Where there is one settlement, there will be a second.

For a time, migration to the Wulan area seemed to become a trend.

Inner Mongolia Province, Hulun City.

"Mayor Lu, how many people have migrated over now?" Sun Zhuo, the mayor of Hulun City, asked.

"Mayor Sun, it should be about two million," Lu Guyun replied casually.

"Mayor Lu, can this Wulan country accommodate so many people?" Sun Zhuo asked softly and curiously.

"Mayor Sun, pay attention to your words. It's not called Wulan Country now, it's called the Wulan Neutral Zone," Lu Guyun reminded.

"Oh, right, right, right, the Wulan Neutral Zone," Sun Zhuo quickly corrected himself.

His posture was very low, completely lacking the arrogance he had when he first met Lu Guyun.

"We've been dealing with each other for so long, I won't hide it from you. Just the underground base in Bato City can accommodate at least 4 million people," Lu Guyun said with a smug look.

"So many!?" Sun Zhuo swallowed.

"Calm down, calm down, this is just the beginning. It is said that there are two more branch bases under construction!" Lu Guyun said as if he were whispering.

But this action seemed like he was deliberately leaking information.

"Good heavens! Why can they develop so fast?" Sun Zhuo asked curiously.

"Does that even need to be asked? All of China's material business belongs to them. The Huatong Chamber of Commerce, Huatong Construction, and the Mercenary Guild all have to listen to them. Do you think they can be slow?" Lu Guyun rolled his eyes at him, looking down on him for being so ignorant.

When Sun Zhuo heard the words "Huatong Construction", his heart twitched violently.

Although he thought the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was quite impressive, it was at most just a middleman. But Huatong Construction was really awesome! In the past six months, almost everything that was being talked about was about Huatong Construction.

It is said that the underground bases of the four major military regions in the East, West, South, and North are all being built by Huatong Construction. Moreover, they are being built simultaneously. And they are also simultaneously undertaking settlement projects. This is simply an unimaginable level of strength.

How much manpower and resources would that require?

In this day and age, Sun Zhuo asked himself if he had the ability to get even a single truckload of cement.

With this comparison, the difference was obvious.

Such an awesome unit actually has to listen to the Wulan Neutral Zone, which shows how strong they really are.

Now, he has figured it out.

Staying in this Hulun City is really boring.

If Lu Guyun hadn't sent some good stuff every now and then, he estimated that he would be living worse than a beggar now.

Now that the Wulan area is still absorbing people, he has to get on this bandwagon no matter what.

If he waits any longer, he probably won't have a chance.

"Um, Brother Lu, how many more people do you plan to absorb?" Sun Zhuo asked.

Lu Guyun looked at him without saying a word.

He knew that the long-term groundwork he had laid was finally paying off.
