Alien Arms Empire

 Chapter 430 What’s wrong with 430?

"The population of Dongwan Island is now about 200,000, distributed in the western coastal area. Originally there were more than 400,000 Zheng people here, but after the Mirage occupied it, they began to massacre the Zheng people, so the Zheng aboriginal population was reduced by about half. "Lew glanced at the document in his hand, raised his head and continued to talk to Tang Mo.

 This data is actually very inaccurate. It is only an approximate number temporarily calculated based on some statistics.

 It is estimated that the exact data will not be compiled until 2 months later. After all, many civilians in Zheng State have fled into the mountains to hide, and it will take time for them to come out.

However, for an island the size of Dongwan Island, a population of 200,000 can indeed be called a vast area but sparsely populated. Population cannot be rushed, we can only rely on immigration or accumulation, which is a time-consuming task.

Tang Mo lacked time, so he was indeed very angry about the massacre of civilians on Dongwan Island by the goblins of Mirage Country.

Hearing the temporary statistics compiled by the military, Leo became furious: "Damn it, that's all our population! They **** who don't know how to cherish it! Don't they know how many years it will take to collect such a sum? Are there many people?”

“It doesn’t matter, they must make up for our losses.” Tang Mo sneered, took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

 “Make up?” Leo was stunned.

 Tang Mo lit the cigarette and asked very firmly: "You said, I want Mirage to compensate my 200,000 workers, will they agree?"

 As the helmsman of the Datang Group, he has already thought about how to blackmail the Mirage country and get them to come up with a corresponding compensation plan.

Loew also sneered: "If they knew how much they lost, I think they would agree."

The military knows exactly how much the Mirage Kingdom has lost in the past ten days. No one can continue the war with such huge losses, no one can!

“But, are we just going to let Mirage go?” Leo looked at Tang Mo with some reluctance, wanting to get an answer from Tang Mo.

Tang Mo sighed and replied with some reluctance: "I know you are not willing to accept it, and neither am I. Unfortunately, there is no way. We are not able to attack the mirage country with a large island area in a short time, because we do not have enough The transportation capacity and weapons are supplemented to the landing troops.”

"If we forcefully land in Mirage, we will end up in a bitter battle, and we will not be able to tell a winner in a short period of time. A long war will drag down our development and make our economy less stable." Loew also explained.

 “Okay, I understand.” Leo said angrily.

Tang Mo comforted him: "Since we can't destroy the Mirage Kingdom in one step, we might as well extort money. We'll bluff and let them compensate us with enough things..."

 …

 “Grandpa!” Holding a “bundle” of tents, Liu Zhu had an unprecedented expression of happiness on his face. In his memory of the past, whether he was living under the rule of Zheng or living under the occupation of Mirage, it seemed that he was not as happy as he is today.

Today, today, from the morning until this moment, everything he saw was overturning his previous understanding.

Datang Group has so many supplies that they are so casually discarded on the beach, as if these things are free of charge.

Naturally, no one would take back the raincoats that the Datang Group troops had left for women to cover their bodies. In addition, Cao Fei also took Liu Zhu and some of the aborigines on the island to pick up a lot of rags.

 The job of the hunters, after the island landing battle, became the task of searching for the indigenous people on the island and helping these indigenous people return to normal life as soon as possible.

"What is this?" The old man, who was temporarily in charge of the remaining living people in the village, looked at the thing Liu Zhu was holding and asked in surprise.

Liu Zhu didn't say anything. Following the steps demonstrated to him by Cao Fei, he quickly set up a tent, which instantly made the women exclaim.

They have never seen a "house" built so quickly. Even if other armies also have tents, these Zheng aborigines have never seen a tent that can be set up in just a few steps.

"These are cans, and biscuits with a long shelf life... Look, look at this, do you know what this is? This is sugar! It's delicious! Sweet!" Liu Zhu excitedly introduced the things he brought back to the people around him. thing.

Not far away, Cao Fei put all the things he had carried back on the ground and let the women who were no longer afraid of him divide them up.

To be honest, he still felt that there were too few things that he and Liu Zhu could get back. When they got these things back from the beach, they even saw someone driving a car to rush to transport supplies. Apparently more than two people can move.

Although it was a bit regretful, Cao Fei already felt a great sense of accomplishment by allowing these beggars to eat and have a place to lie down.

Before he became a sinner and was sent to Bunas, he was similar to the people here. Until he boarded the ship and was exiled, he never thought that he would come back one day, and that he could come back with so many things and suffer. bring hope to people. Perhaps, this is the meaning of God allowing him to live until now. He smiled, unscrewed his kettle, took a sip of the water inside, and immediately felt a coolness that penetrated his heart and spleen.

 In the past two days, he and Liu Zhu discovered many corpse pits. Seven or eight surrounding villages had suffered disasters. Some entire villages had no survivors, and some had lost most of their lives just like Liu Zhu's village.

The losses suffered by the Zheng people in the two big cities were relatively small. Because of the dense population, the goblins of the Mirage Kingdom were also afraid of causing greater trouble, so they did not attack the two cities of Dongwan and Fengshun for the time being.

But despite this, thousands of people were killed in these two cities. Many people were occupied by mirage soldiers just because their houses were good. People were killed, and their property and houses were naturally cheaper for the murderers.

 Cao Fei was very happy that he was back with a 98K rifle. He was very happy that he could save his compatriots from the hands of the devil.

 A little girl wearing a raincoat came over. She had a pair of big, clear eyes. The petite girl looked curiously at Cao Fei, who was wearing a jungle camouflage uniform, with her own eyes. The men's raincoat covered her body, looking empty.

Cao Fei saw this thin girl, groped around on his body, took out the remaining bread from the food bag at his waist, and handed it over.

"You are a good person." The little girl took the bread, but did not leave. Instead, she timidly said this.

Cao Fei smiled and put the kettle on his body again: "I am not a good person, I am a sinner. Do you know what a sinner is?"

The girl nodded, then shook her head: "I know the sinners, but you are not like the sinners, you are a good person."

 She spoke very stubbornly, as if she was sure of her own judgment. Cao Fei smiled and shook his head: "I am indeed a sinner. According to the laws of Zheng State, I cannot return here in my life."

 “Can you leave?” the girl asked again.

"Uh... How should I put it? I will leave, I will go to Zheng State, to the royal city... Why are I telling you this... you don't understand." Cao Fei smiled mockingly, rubbed his nose with his hand, and stood up to ask Walk.

"Can I marry you?" The girl suddenly became nervous when she saw Cao Fei was leaving. Some women not far away were also looking here, and it seemed that some old men were also sizing up Cao Fei.

"Huh?" Cao Fei was stunned. He didn't expect the girl to be so heroic. He was a little stunned and didn't know what to say.

"My man is dead. If you hadn't come, I would have starved to death. Please do me a favor and kill me..." The woman became more and more sad as she spoke, and knelt down next to Cao Fei.

Cao Fei didn't know what to do at all - if it were in the past, he would probably accept this woman with a smile, without any psychological pressure.

 But he is no longer the same person as before. He feels that he has done nothing and should not take advantage of others' danger. However, when he saw the thin body kneeling in front of him, he felt a little more unbearable because of the beautiful things he had seen.

If this little girl was born in Bunas, maybe now...she should be one of those respected and talented students wearing school uniforms and walking on the lively streets.

Even a top soldier like him would be envious when he saw a female student like that, feel unattainable, and look away due to low self-esteem...

"Please." The girl raised her head, and Cao Fei looked at her. She was only fifteen or sixteen years old, skinny as a stick, and she was still holding the bread that Cao Fei gave her in her hand and did not dare to throw it away.

Cao Fei thought that if it weren't for the piece of bread in his hand, the girl would probably have been hugged on his lap.

Sighing, Cao Fei stretched out his hand, rubbed the woman's withered hair, and raised his voice as if to vent the anger in his chest: "You are all wrong! From now on, you don't have to ask anyone anymore! You will You have food to eat, clothes to wear, books to read, and dignity to be a human being! Only in the Tang Dynasty can you live like a human being!"

“You are all wrong!” He glanced at Liu Zhu, ran away without looking back, and knocked aside the branches blocking the way at all costs.

The old man looked at the girl who was still kneeling on the ground with a stunned look on her face, then looked at Liu Zhu, and sighed: "What's wrong with us... We took food, we took so many... things, and we didn't hand them over. Several women...how can we feel at ease..."

 He has seen too much and experienced too much...Whether it is the high officials of the Zheng Kingdom or the villains of the Mirage Kingdom, which one is not like this?

Those people want women, gold, and food... They don't give the people a way to survive at all, and treat human lives as nothing.

 As an old man, he saw how many people lost their lives before he came up with such a pattern... Where did he go wrong? What's wrong?
