Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 144

Chapter 144, Garbage Town Remake

Lugi Likoshi received the order to retreat and rest. Two

days have passed since he was rescued by the Alliance army and fought side by side with his brothers.

These two days were also not easy. Those greenskins knew that the six or seven kilometers of the fifth district were not easy to fight, so they turned around and tried to break through from other places. And his beast-slaughtering group also bore the pressure of the greenskin assault in the surrounding directions.

If it weren’t for the artillery support of the Alliance and the rapid mobility of the armored vehicles sent by Battalion Commander Perbov, even if they could withstand it, the casualties would be great.

But life is not easy, but it is better than before.

At least, this battle is worth fighting. It is true that the brothers suffered heavy casualties, but seeing the greenskins rushing over from the opposite side also died one by one in the artillery fire and bullets, he felt that the sacrifice was not without value.

It was also because of this that he was a little reluctant to receive the order to let his team go back to rest.

In his opinion, apart from the Alliance army, no one can fight better than them. If these five or six thousand men retreated in an organized manner, the front line might not be able to hold out.

However, what happened next shut him up.

The troops that came up were still from the Alliance.

The team numbered as the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division took over his defense line.

Although the number of the 3rd Regiment was less than half of theirs, at most 2,000 people, and they didn’t have any armored vehicles, tanks or anything like that, but they brought 30 heavy artillery pieces.

Well, you are indeed more powerful.

Moreover, he wanted to fight, but his men couldn’t hold out mentally.

He could only lead the team to withdraw in disappointment.

Before leaving, he went to see Perbov, mainly to thank him.

It was not only a life-saving grace, but also saving his team.

If Perbov’s troops hadn’t arrived in time, he would have died, and then the Beast Slaughter Regiment, whose morale had collapsed, would probably have dispersed directly.

Perbov accepted Li Kexi’s thanks calmly.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged the current situation of the war and made some exchanges about the situation of the Beast Slaughter Regiment being transferred back this time.

“You have to be prepared. The Governor may recruit you.”

“Recruit?” Li Kexi frowned and instinctively resisted this matter. “Why recruit? Isn’t it good now? We will also completely obey the orders of the headquarters established by the Governor in Garbage Town.”

“Not only that, in the future you will become a formal alliance army.”

“I don’t want that… In the past, many agents, even Mr. Swan, wanted us to obey orders completely, but we rejected them all. This is not in line with the original intention of establishing our regiment.”

Perbov shook his head and said, “Whether to accept the recruitment is your own decision, but I strongly suggest that you accept it…”

At this point, Perbov raised two fingers and said, “I will only tell you two reasons, you think about it carefully:”

“First, Garbage Town will not have a living space for adventure groups like in the past. Everything will definitely be regularized. You have to think about the future for your brothers. Do you all plan to die here for revenge? Even after the revenge is over and all the greenskins are killed, will all of you die? Accepting reorganization is the best. You will eat military rations and have allowances. You only need to train well and follow orders. You don’t have to worry about anything else. If you die, you will get a generous pension. When you retire in the future, you will be arranged to transfer to civilian jobs. You will have a place to live for the rest of your life.”

“Second, even if we only talk about the present and only consider how to fight the greenskins, it is better to accept reorganization. You are the most powerful adventurers in fighting greenskins, but if you really encounter them, you will have to die three or five people before you can replace one; after accepting reorganization, you will get direct weapons and equipment support, which will be more helpful for you to kill those greenskins.”

After saying this, Perbov put down two fingers and really didn’t say anything else.

Li Kexi, who was a little resistant, couldn’t refute Perbov’s two reasons.

…

After saying goodbye to Perbov, Li Kexi led his team to retreat to the rear. After walking for about half a day, they arrived at the joint military camp.

This is the newly established rear military camp, which now houses nearly 40,000 people.

The current personnel distribution of the 100,000 adventurers in Garbage Town is roughly as follows: 10,000 people are locked up in the prisoner-of-war camp in the western part of Garbage Town. As long as they are not starving to death, forget it. This group is the guys who want to escape with Nasser and Mark Ferry.

The 40,000 people in the joint military camp are basically adventurers who fought on the front line a few days ago and were defeated. After withdrawing, they were reorganized, issued ammunition, and rested on the spot.

Fifty thousand people are in the front-line positions to maintain the front line.

After the troops in the joint military camp rested for two days, the command began to replace the troops.

It is difficult to expect these adventurers of uneven quality to keep fighting on the front line and bear casualties. Rotating troops may be more reliable than filling all these 100,000 people into the front line.

Of course, the most important thing to maintain their morale is money.

They are adventurers and mercenaries, and they fight for money. Gu Hang also gave them Alliance Coins without any doubt, and promised that these Alliance Coins can be spent in Garbage Town during the war. He did get a lot of supplies from Garbage Town for supply. Moreover, he further promised that after the war, if the reform is carried out, those who continue to stay in the alliance and become members of the alliance can exchange the Alliance Coins issued now for work points at that time. It

looks like a huge expenditure, but in fact the cost is not as large as imagined. It’s just

Alliance Coins, and many of them are empty checks.

What’s the use of issuing Alliance Coins? Adventurers spend it immediately, which means they are spending the savings that Gu Hang pulled out from various places in Garbage Town; if they don’t spend it, they will be redeemed in the future. If

you really want to do something disgusting, it’s okay to exchange it for work points in the future if you join the alliance system; if you want to leave and want to redeem Alliance Coins, you don’t have the final say on the price of things. Of course

, Gu Hang won’t do this unless it reaches a certain level, which is a bit too damaging to his reputation.

Gu Hang still hoped that these people would be able to stay in the future.

Even if they did not serve as soldiers and were transformed into workers, there would be a population of 100,000.

Among these people, the one that Gu Hang valued the most was naturally the Beast Slaughter Group.

After they withdrew to rest, Gu Hang summoned the leader of the Beast Slaughter Group, Luigi Li Kexi.

Li Kexi finally chose to accept Gu Hang’s proposal to recruit them.

On the way back, he had a good chat with his brothers. He asked many people for their opinions, including captains, middle-level commanders, and lower-level soldiers.

What they said was different, but the meaning was similar: they were willing to be incorporated.

What else can I say?

Since the establishment of the Beast Slayer Group, they have been fighting for half a year. There have been constant deaths, constant sacrifices, and difficult living conditions…

Hatred is the driving force that supports them, but another point cannot be ignored. They were originally a group of adventurers, and they didn’t know what to do except this.

Revenge is the driving force, and it can only rely on this to survive, which may not be a greater driving force.

What’s wrong with being incorporated?

Life can be better, the future is guaranteed, and it won’t delay the fight against the greenskins.

As for the so-called maintaining independence… That was indeed one of the purposes of the Beast Slayer Group when it was first established. They only accepted sponsorship and not orders, but that was so that they could concentrate on fighting the greenskins and avoid being assigned by the agents of the Garbage Town to do private work.

Now, Garbage Town has changed, and the situation is completely different. It is unnecessary to stick to that set of things.

Since the brothers all thought so, and Li Kexi himself was almost convinced in the previous conversation with Perbov, he had no resistance to the Governor’s personal recruitment.

However, he still made an additional request in the end.

“I hope to keep our name ‘Beast Slayer’ as a separate number. I heard from Perbov that the Alliance’s army allows this.”

“Hahaha!” Gu Hang laughed and said, “Of course I can agree to your request, but not now.”

Then, seeing Li Kexi’s puzzled look, Gu Hang also restrained his smile and said seriously: “If you want to keep the name ‘Beast Slayer’ as the number of your troops, you must show corresponding performance. Go kill those green-skinned orcs. Kill enough and the title of ‘Beast Slayer’ is worthy of its name, and I will give you this number.”

Li Kexi took a deep breath and said firmly: “Then it’s a deal.”

…

The adventure group named Beast Slayer completed the reorganization work in the following few days.

Five thousand sets of G9 individual weapons were equipped to them, and they also got a new designation: the 3rd Independent Regiment.

Gu Hang spent fifty points of grace on them.

After they completed the training and became T5-level troops, they also activated their accumulated combat experience and became infantry with the characteristics of “killing beasts”.

The reborn 3rd Independent Regiment returned to the battlefield afterwards.

Although they only brought a lot of individual weapons, no regimental artillery, and not many mortars, at most they had a lot of rocket launchers. But at least the G9 rifles were much better than their original equipment, and the training conducted under the eyes of the Governor in those few days made them feel that they had changed a lot.

These changes were directly reflected on the battlefield.

With the support of the concentrated artillery firepower in the rear, the independent regiment had no problem with holding the defense line of more than ten kilometers, and at most with the help of some “militia groups”.

Those so-called militia groups were the original, other adventure groups.

In the past few days, it was not only the 3rd Independent Regiment that was reorganized. All other troops also accepted the reorganization when they came to the joint military camp for a rest. They

were also asked about their willingness.

Those who wanted to stay and serve as soldiers were reorganized into garrison divisions. Although Gu Hang did not have enough individual equipment to give them at the moment, he did not intend to train them all to the T5 level at once – without enough equipment, the combat effectiveness would not be enough after training, and it would not be a waste of effort.

But the reorganization still had to be done, otherwise the command would be too chaotic.

In the end, after seeing the treatment of the alliance army, the number of people willing to accept the change reached more than 70,000.

By comparison, you can see that the alliance soldiers, even if they only started as privates, were treated better than they used to pick up garbage.

And among these 70,000 people, except for the Beast Slaughter Regiment, which was reorganized into an independent regiment of 6,000 people, the other 63,000 people were reorganized into six garrison divisions and received numbers from 4 to 9.

There was no change in weapons and equipment, only the treatment was promised and the command level was changed.

The commanders of the division and regiment levels were selected from the Second Division and the Perbov Battalion, or some leaders of large adventure groups or respected adventurers were promoted.

In addition, the political commissars could not be delegated to the company level. The scale of the reorganization was too large. At present, they could only be assigned to the division and regiment levels, so that they could develop a soldier committee organization loyal to the empire and the governor from within, and train instructors at the company and battalion levels.

In addition, there were more than 20,000 people who were unwilling to transfer to soldiers in the future, but preferred to become ordinary civilians or leave the alliance system. Gu Hang did not let them go, but temporarily hired them to fight as privates.

They were organized into ten militia groups, with no numbers but only serial numbers. The internal structure and command level were also based on the structure of each adventure group.

When the garrison division rotated back to the front line for combat, it would be assigned some main tasks, while those militia groups basically did hard labor, such as building fortifications.

There is no need to send people away as cannon fodder. Gu Hang will not do such a thing.

It has not reached that stage yet.

Six garrison divisions have been reorganized. If all the equipment configuration and soldier training are completed, Gu Hang will have 9 division-brigade units, which is basically enough in terms of military strength.

The key to an army of nearly 100,000 people is the relatively high-standard equipment configuration. The subsequent military expansion should not be too worried about the problem of insufficient troops.

After all, in addition to fighting, the army also needs to be stationed on the spot. For the places that have just been recovered, whether they are to be retained or the population is to be relocated, troops need to be retained to suppress them so that policies can be implemented.

Of course, that is the subsequent use. At present, the battle against the green-skinned orcs is still the priority.

Gu Hang plans to stay here for two months and fight a two-month defensive battle.

In two months, the reorganization of nine division-brigade units, the training work that consumes grace points, and the production and distribution of all light and heavy equipment should be completed.

At that time, it will be time for counterattack.
