An hour passed quickly after Paul and Newsk finished their speeches.
Footage transmitted by drones showed that several armed groups voluntarily left their shelters and hung white cotton cloths on their roofs to indicate their willingness to surrender.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yu immediately ordered Paul to lead his Merika soldiers to accept the surrender, and also brought a large amount of supplies, including food, medical supplies, cotton clothing, fuel, etc.
After giving them a pep talk, offer them a treat; this is how you give hope to those who are still hesitant and make them feel your sincerity.
As for why Paul was sent instead of other militia fighters?
That's because Paul and his team were originally soldiers in the Merica Navy, possessing official Merica affiliations, which made them more convincing to the disaster victims and armed forces in Rocky City.
They not only possess formidable military strength, but also represent the stance and commitments of the Mereka government.
Moreover, accepting the surrender of those armed forces under such circumstances could easily lead to them being shot in the back, and Chen Yu did not want his militia fighters to be put in danger.
Paul and his men were well aware of these factors, but this was their first mission since joining the International Militia Corps for Cold Relief, so they not only had no complaints but also performed with extra effort.
After all, the "International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief" offers such good benefits that they don't want to lose this hard-won job.
Paul and his team acted swiftly, traveling in sled armored vehicles and sled trucks, carrying ample supplies, and headed towards the locations of the surrendered armed groups.
When Paul's group arrived at the first surrender point, they were warmly welcomed by the armed forces. The soldiers who had been armed laid down their weapons, accepted the supplies from Paul and his men with both hands, and smiled gratefully.
Paul conveyed the warm greetings of the Merica Navy and their desire for peace. He emphasized that regardless of what had happened in the past, they now shared a common goal: to help Rocky City recover from this disaster and enable everyone to live a peaceful life.
“We are not just here to accept your surrender, but also to help you.” Paul’s words were full of sincerity. “As long as you are willing to lay down your arms, we are willing to provide you with all the necessary assistance.”
The leaders of those armed groups expressed their willingness to abide by the surrender agreement, cooperate with the Merika Navy's operations, and contribute to the reconstruction of Rocky City.
With these few examples of armed forces surrendering, more forces no longer hesitated.
They saw the treatment they received after surrendering, the sincerity and determination of the Merica Navy, and the hope of rebuilding their homeland.
As a result, more and more armed groups began to voluntarily leave their shelters, raise white flags, and choose to surrender.
More and more people emerged from their shelters to line the streets to welcome Paul and the Merica Navy, who were represented by him.
Of course, not everyone is so docile.
Some extremist armed groups and civilians launched more than one attack on Paul and his men, resulting in heavy losses: 23 of Paul's men were slightly injured, 7 were seriously injured, and 3 were killed.
Faced with such violent resistance, Chen Yu naturally did not tolerate it. He immediately dispatched a large number of armed drones to launch a precise and powerful retaliatory strike against these rioters, completely destroying and eradicating the armed forces and individuals who launched the attack, as a warning to others.
These armed drones, like divine soldiers descending from the sky, silently traversed the skies above Rocky City, using advanced reconnaissance equipment to lock onto targets, and then dropping high-energy bombs to destroy the hideouts of the rioters one by one.
Drones equipped with miniature machine guns spun a dense web of fire in the air, relentlessly strafing the rioters who tried to escape or resist, ensuring that every threat was completely eliminated.
Under the onslaught of drones, the extremist armed groups and civilians finally felt fear. They had originally thought that with their superior weaponry and numbers, they could contend with the US Navy and the "International Militia Corps for Cold Weather Relief," but reality dealt them a heavy blow.
Faced with the precise strikes from the drone swarm, the rioters began to scatter and search for hiding places.
However, no matter where they hid, they could not escape the detection and attacks of the drone swarm.
During this period, the skies over Rocky City seemed to be divided into two worlds. On one side, warm sunlight shone through the clouds, bathing those who chose peace and reconstruction in its glow, giving them hope and strength; on the other side, the cold trails of armed drones streaked across the sky, followed by devastating strikes. This was not only a declaration of absolute zero tolerance for those forces that persisted in violence and destruction, but also a revenge for the fallen soldiers.
Meanwhile, armed helicopters were dispatched to bring the wounded and injured soldiers back to the airship, and the injured received timely medical treatment; the deceased were given a proper burial and were posthumously awarded the "International Militia Corps for Cold Relief" Hero Medal.
Paul and his men were deeply moved by this. As newcomers to the “Cold Relief Militia Corps” and foreigners at that, they felt an unprecedented sense of belonging and respect.
They channeled their grief and emotion into strength, and became even more determined to dedicate themselves to the "cold relief and disaster relief" work in Rocky City.
…………
Three days later, the city of Rocky was officially taken over by the "Condor Wings" of the International Militia Corps for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief. They set up a temporary command center centered on the Rocky City Hall to comprehensively coordinate and manage all "disaster relief" work.
The "Condor Corps" is a newly formed unit of the "International Militia Corps for Cold Relief and Disaster Relief," based on the surviving soldiers from the aircraft carrier "Fo" under Paul's command, with Paul as its commander.
The reason they are called the "Condor Corps" is that although they initially had only about 100 US soldiers, after incorporating those armed groups, their numbers have reached more than 2,300.
Because these armed groups are of varying quality and their character is hard to generalize, they are much more useful than the militia soldiers that Chen Yu brought from Tianyu Base in the "cold relief" operation in Merika. They are not only easier to gain the trust of the local disaster victims in Merika, but also can avoid casualties among the base's militia soldiers.
Therefore, Chen Yu separated them and re-established a battle group, using the national bird of Merica, the "vulture," as the name of the battle group for easier management.
Chen Yu wasn't afraid that the "Bald Eagle Squad" would turn against him if they grew too powerful, since they didn't have any advanced weapons.
If they dare to betray him, he can easily wipe them out.
Of course, Paul is a smart man and I believe he wouldn't make such a foolish decision.
