Chapter 72: Motorized Guards (I)

The next day.

Luo Ren got up early, washed up, and came to the military area without eating breakfast. At this time, the thirty-six people in the military area were neatly arranged. These people's temperament was obviously higher than that of ordinary guards, and they all reached the level of second-level squad leader or above.

When the thirty-six people on the field saw Luo Ren coming, their eyes were full of respect and they shouted: "Sir!"

Luo Ren nodded and said straight to the point: "There is a big thing to call you here. I am going to form three tank teams. Here, I will confirm with you, you can all operate tanks, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

The thirty-six people answered in unison.

"Yes." Luo Ren nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "A tank needs four people to exert its maximum combat effectiveness, so now you will divide into teams by yourselves."

The thirty-six people heard this and said "Yes!", and began to divide into groups. They were all comrades who had been together day and night and had experienced life and death together. It didn't matter who they were in a group with, and there was no need to pick and choose like children. The division of teams was completed in just three or two minutes.

Luo Ren was very satisfied with this speed, and without any nonsense, he walked quickly to the tank factory. The blue transparent light screen unfolded in front of him, and he said in his heart: "Produce nine tanks."

The system prompt sounded:

[Produce 9 tanks for a total of 4.50W points, are you sure? ]

"Confirm."

[Ding, tank production is in progress, and it takes a total of 9 days for 9 tanks. 】

"Fuck!" Luo Ren was a little confused. In the past, the production of firearms and grenades was done in seconds, and even anti-material sniper rifles took less than a minute. Only the guards took time. However, after upgrading to a level 3 base, ten guards can be produced in an hour, but it takes a day to produce a tank. This made Luo Ren, who was used to a fast pace, a little uncomfortable.

[Tip! Firearms are easy to make, so they take less time, while tanks are difficult to make and naturally take more time. This is very scientific. 】

After hearing what the system said, Luo Ren couldn't help but want to complain. You, the system, are still talking about science here, and I, the host, am embarrassed to say that science is good. Regardless of this, Luo Ren asked: "How long does it take to produce an armored personnel carrier?"

[It is estimated to take 12 hours to produce an armored personnel carrier. 】

"Although it is half the number of tanks, 12 hours is still a bit long. I used to watch military TV programs and they said that armored personnel carriers usually carry 10-12 people. So for the three thousand guards, not counting the thirty-six tank drivers, at least two hundred and forty-seven vehicles are needed.

Two hundred and forty-seven times twelve, one hundred and one equals one... one hundred and two equals two... one hundred and three equals three... Oh my god, this will take two thousand nine hundred and sixty-four hours, which is one hundred and twenty-three and a half days!"

Luo Ren was really confused. He was thinking about producing the armored personnel carriers as soon as possible to greatly improve the mobility of the guards and then attack Hucheng. He didn't expect that it would take half a year just to produce the vehicles. This was a bit too much.

He couldn't help but complain: "System, I think these points are a bit redundant. I have too many points to use, but the production of something is limited by time and quantity. It feels like digestion is complete, and the toilet is full, but the toilet is still full and the people inside are still unwilling to come out."

[Remind the host, you can use it if you want, but you can't describe this system as such a dirty place. ]

Luo Ren was speechless and sighed helplessly, "I will use it..." He still asked unwillingly: "Is there really no way to increase the production speed?"

[No. ]

"Okay." Since he answered like this, Luo Ren could only think of another way. He first pulled 250 armored personnel carriers for him, and then he looked at the fuel options such as gasoline and diesel, and his eyes turned, and he chose to produce a barrel of gasoline.

[Ding! Gasoline production is completed, quantity*1. 】

Just three seconds later, a barrel of gasoline was produced. Luo Ren carefully checked the barrel of gasoline. It was marked with 10L, which was enough to fill the tank of an ordinary car. Then he chose to produce a barrel of diesel.

[Ding! Diesel production completed, quantity * 1. 】

It took ten seconds to produce diesel. The volume of a barrel of diesel is obviously larger than gasoline. The barrel is marked with 100L. A barrel of diesel is a full 100 liters, which can fill a medium-sized truck. If it is a large truck, two barrels are usually enough.

The fuel production was so fast that Luo Ren's eyes lit up. The armored personnel carrier had to wait, but the trucks outside could be used immediately.

He walked back to the thirty-six people and said, "The tank will take some time. You haven't had breakfast yet, so go and eat."

"Yes!"

As the thirty-six people left, Luo Ren also returned to the mobile base. Just as he sat down, he saw Su Antong coming. Luo Ren stood up to greet him and said with a smile: "An Tong, why are you here?"

Su An Tong was very impolite and found a chair to sit down. She looked at Luo Ren and said: "Brother Ren, I want to talk to you."

Luo Ren nodded and said: "Go ahead."

Su An Tong said straight to the point: "It's still the previous proposal to expand the guard army." As soon as these words came out, Su An Tong immediately saw the change in Luo Ren's face, and immediately explained: "I made a lot of changes to the previous proposal. Whether you agree or not, I hope you can listen to it."

Luo Ren was curious about what changes could be made, so he agreed: "Then tell me."

Su Antong said: "I know that the first thing you worry about is loyalty when recruiting guards from the residents. In fact, I don't think you need to worry at all. The respect that the residents of the base have for you is obvious to all. It is from the heart and rooted in the deepest part of the soul. You can imagine how low the probability of betrayal will be after such devout believers become guards.

Of course, this is persuasion, not a revised proposal. Then I will tell you the revised proposal now. Expanding the guards is inevitable. Otherwise, the more people there are in the base, the less strong the troops will be to protect it. Considering the possible betrayal factors, I have thought of the following countermeasures:

1. The highest officer in each team of residents can be arranged as a guard soldier.

2. Set up another soldier Camp, the resident army does not train with the guard army, and the training instructors for the resident army are provided by the guard army.

3. Carry out ideological education every month to ensure the loyalty of the resident army to the base.

4. The weapons and equipment are completely controlled by the guard army. They usually provide suitable training ammunition, and only provide sufficient ammunition when they go out to perform tasks.

These are the four countermeasures I thought of. What do you think? "

Su Antong's countermeasures are good and practical, but now the base has been upgraded to level 3, and the number of guards has also increased significantly, so Luo Ren does not need more troops now. If a large number of residents are recruited as soldiers, the productivity of the base will inevitably decrease. Therefore, this matter should be discussed after the base develops to a larger scale.
