Chapter 186: The target of the war is the entire Qinggu area!
This vicious cycle in the Qinggu area is not the first time it has occurred.
In the past years, every time a wave of abnormalities formed, it would lead to similar situations.
However, the monster waves in previous years did not last particularly long, nor were they particularly large in scale.
Once the monster wave subsides and the source of the vicious cycle is gone, things will get better.
The looters were either wiped out or washed ashore in the places they occupied and turned into normal plantations. There were also some who did not wash their whiteness and continued to be looters, but their number was not too large.
Anyway, once most people have enough to eat, things will calm down until the next year's wave of monsters returns and the vicious cycle begins again.
In short, this is how the people in Qinggu area have survived for many, many years.
But the difference this year is that the wave of distortions is too big and not sporadic; it has also lasted too long, almost half a year now, and not only has there been no sign of abating, but it has become more and more intense.
The source of the vicious cycle is not weakening but strengthening, so of course the vicious cycle cannot be stopped.
However, the problems in Qinggu area must be solved.
It is the most important granary of the Angry Owl Star. It not only feeds the 10 million people in the Qinggu area itself, but also transports food to the central province and the eastern provinces.
If the problems in the Qinggu region are not resolved, it will not only affect the livelihoods of the 10 million people there, but will also cause large-scale famine across the entire planet.
Ultimately, this is a population loss that Gu Hang cannot tolerate.
Population is extremely important, both for productivity and for the monthly fixed income in his system.
Only with more people can we support stronger industries, support more armies, and provide more gift point income.
Gu Hang must protect this grain-producing land and these ten million people.
The league had already taken action on this several months ago.
A large amount of weapons and equipment salvaged by the army, from those of the old alliance legion to those of the adventurers in Garbage Town who were recruited, were sold to the Qinggu area in the south as military supplies.
The Qinggu region was in great need of munitions. Logically speaking, these guns, bullets, and cannons could be sold at very high prices. However, under Ossena's instructions, the Union Commerce Department did not do so. In the early days when there was a shortage of food, the price was higher. Later, when the food imports in the Western Desert region increased significantly and the food pressure in the Central Province was reduced, the Commerce Department further lowered the price.
Later on, even some of the arms produced in the Weixing City Arsenal were sold to the Qinggu area.
Even many weapons and equipment were provided free of charge in the form of military aid.
Of course, the so-called "no money" basically means that they want everything except money.
Military aid, assistance in the form of various daily necessities and consumer goods are definitely purposeful and have strong political attributes.
If there weren't such a large amount of arms, how could the diplomats, civil affairs observers, and military observers of the alliance establish the so-called 'Qinggu Mutual Aid Committee'?
The so-called 'Qinggu Mutual Aid Committee' was Gu Hang's preparation for completely ruling the entire Qinggu area in the future.
Many plantations, refugees, and even looters who were willing to lay down their guns and cleanse themselves of their sins were taken in.
The 'Mutual Aid Society' asked plantations to pay food as protection fees to ensure that refugees and looters would not rob them; they organized refugees and whitewashed looters, armed with arms assisted by the alliance and sold, to form militias and patrols to fight other looters who did not join the mutual aid society; the militias and patrols would quickly provide support when they received requests for help from the plantations. If they encountered a huge wave of monsters that they could not resist, they would at least ensure that the people inside could evacuate alive.
The existence of the mutual aid association has proven to be very effective in the past two months.
This can be seen from the fact that the Mutual Aid Association has rapidly expanded from a small area in the south of the Central Bank Province owned by the Alliance to a behemoth with a population of four million and almost covering the entire northern part of the Qinggu area in just two months.
To be honest, the population size of the mutual aid association is not far from that of the alliance itself.
The reason for such rapid expansion was not only that the alliance's dispatched personnel were capable and the arms they provided were valuable enough, but more importantly, the existence of the Mutual Aid Association met the needs of almost everyone in the northern part of Qinggu.
Refugees have a shelter, whitewashed looters have a stable food income, and plantations have strong armed foreign aid...
Gu Hang looked at the Mutual Aid Association as if he was looking at a rapidly growing fruit of victory.
When the mutual aid association expands to a certain extent, the alliance army can quickly move south, take the mutual aid association's militia and patrol teams, reorganize them comprehensively, and push all the way south to flatten the mutant monsters that are sweeping across the central and southern parts of Qinggu.
Back then, he was able to destroy thousands of deformed monsters with just one infantry battalion, let alone now.
His army has become larger, and his weapons and equipment have been updated several times. He has powerful long-range firepower, armored forces, and even an air force.
If the deformed monsters remain at their original level, there is nothing to be afraid of no matter how many there are.
He just has to wait for the mutual aid association to grow and mature, and the rest is the work of harvesting.
With one wave, Gu Hang completely brought the entire Qinggu area under his control, and it would be as easy as taking something from a bag.
But now, the news brought by Hu Ke made Gu Hang deeply worried.
The Natural Salvation Society's transformation technology for those deformed monsters involves supernatural powers and demonology, so they cannot be simply viewed as a group of monsters formed by the local environment of the planet.
If we take the devil as our imaginary enemy...
Gu Hang felt very uneasy.
To put it bluntly, even the greenskin clan in the Tower Province, which has not yet fully developed, is difficult to defeat. If they encounter demons and chaos traitors... then it will at least not be easier to defeat than the greenskin orcs.
At this time, it was Hu Ke who was advising Gu Hang not to worry too much.
"The situation is not so bad that it is irreversible." The new C9-level employee of the alliance comforted the biggest boss and said, "At least in the six months I have been in the town of the Singers, I have only noticed that their technology is related to demonology. I have not seen any concrete evidence that they have more connections with demons, let alone seen the figure of a demon with my own eyes. Governor, you don't have to worry too much."
However, Hu Ke added, "But we may have to speed up our actions. After all, no one knows how things will turn out if we give them more time... Even this year's particularly large wave of distortion monsters, there is no doubt that it was definitely done by the Natural Salvation Society. It's a pity that I have been dragging my feet on their so-called 'sublimation transformation' for the past six months. I have no access to many particularly confidential contents and I am not sure what their purpose is."
Gu Hang nodded and said, "I understand. You are very worthy of gratitude for providing the existing intelligence. You have worked hard during this period. The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs should have prepared your new residence for you. Take your family and have a good rest. The future development of the alliance will rely more on your contribution. As for the problems in Qinggu area..."
After a pause, Gu Hang continued: "I don't intend to change our original plan, but we have to speed it up."
This is inevitable.
When you don't know the enemy's plans and it is difficult to find a way to detect them, the best way to deal with it is to completely destroy them with thundering force before the enemy's actions are fully launched.
Gu Hang ignored the two technical experts Wu Jiarong and Hu Ke and thought about it on his own.
The best solution time is within one month.
The Quintet was still there, and would leave in a month. Although the starship had sustained considerable damage, its weapon systems were still in good condition. The ammunition reserves on the starship were insufficient, but there was still some, enough to at least carry out an orbital strike on the ground.
So, Gu Hang's best solution at the moment is to do his best to solve the Qinggu problem within a month while the orbital strike is still going on, and to physically destroy the Natural Salvation Society.
If things drag on until a month later, and there's a lack of track hits, then there's going to be trouble.
After figuring it out, Gu Hang called his secretary, Zhang Chao, who was also his butler who came to Angry Owl Star with him.
"Send a message to Yan Fangxu, cancel all troop rotations, and all soldiers must assemble within three days. His troops will set out in three days. The war has begun."
"Yes!" Zhang Chao responded instinctively, then asked in confusion: "But...what is the goal of the war?"
"The entire Qinggu area." Gu Hang said.
…
Jason Morgan felt that he had been particularly lucky since the establishment of the new alliance.
He was rewarded again for bringing one of the league's top talents to the table.
It's a bit dreamy.
I swear to God, he really just wanted to have an excellent doctor to help him solve the problem because he saw many refugees getting infected and dying.
As a result, an engine prophet was discovered?
Jason Morgan now understands what the concept of Engine Prophet means.
He was now glad that he did not say anything rude at the time, but treated Hu Ke with enough courtesy and humility.
If the alliance makes any key technological breakthroughs in the future, I will also have a share of the credit!
However, this incident was just an episode for him. Although he gained a lot of benefits from it, during a recent communication with the leader of the Immigration Bureau, the leader told him that it was a sure thing that he would be promoted two levels when he returned.
Of course he was very happy about this.
However, his leader also reminded him.
"We still have to do our job well."
"I see!"
And what is his job?
1. Ensure the results of autumn harvest.
2. Regarding population migration, the most important thing is to control infectious diseases.
The above two items are what he has been working hard on in the past.
Recently, it has entered autumn, and the main food crops in the major plantations in the northern part of Qinggu have almost reached the harvest season.
Although the overall harvest this year will definitely not be good, we must harvest well what can be harvested.
According to the instructions given by the Governor: Harvesting one more grain of food now may prevent one person from starving to death in the future.
For this job, Jason actually traveled tirelessly between major plantations to see how the grain harvest was going in each place and to sign future grain purchase contracts with the corresponding plantation owners.
The second task is to continuously migrate population to the central province, especially the Shuangcheng area.
This is an old business. The only difference is that in the past, people were migrated from other places in the central province to Shuangcheng, but now they are doing this from the northern part of Qinggu area.
In terms of population willingness, migrating people from Qinggu to Shuangcheng is even easier than doing the same thing in the central province.
Everyone here in Qinggu is a refugee, and being able to go to the Shuangcheng area is something they have only dreamed of.
However, the situation is complicated when it comes to infectious diseases.
This is a special situation that was only discovered in the last month.
It is an infectious disease called "abscess disease". It is not very lethal, but after it occurs, people will have herpes all over their body, which is very itchy. The pus after the ulcer is the source of infection. Healthy people can also be easily infected after unprotected contact.
Therefore, before migrating people to the central province, they must be quarantined first to ensure safety before they can be transported to the rear. In Fuxing City, they will need to be quarantined again until the next batch of people are safe, and then they can be accommodated in the city.
The isolation policy implemented by Jason Morgan in multiple refugee settlements is not just based on whether a person is sick or not.
Those who fall ill will be transferred to the ward immediately, where they will receive care from medical staff.
Of course, we cannot expect medical staff to be very professional.
Although the hospital in Shuangcheng has been built for some time, the level of the doctors is just so-so.
And in these refugee camps in the northern part of Qinggu, there is no hope of finding professional doctors.
They were just some medical staff recruited locally, who took a simple medical manual and fed the sick people medicines shipped from Shuangcheng.
But you know what, the effect is still good.
The biggest role played by this is the medicine itself.
The pharmaceutical chemical factory has been in operation in Fuxing City for some time, and the medicines it produces are really amazing.
Speaking of pain relief, the pain really goes away after taking it - although it may not cure the disease, it makes you feel much more comfortable, in a better mood, and able to eat, so the body naturally gets more energy to fight the disease.
Although some medicines for skin diseases and immune diseases may not be completely effective, they are really effective when barefoot doctors give the patients the standard dosage based on the booklet.
People are sometimes very fragile, but sometimes very tenacious.
There is enough food, medicines to relieve pain and symptoms... Even if there is no specific medicine, most people will be able to survive in the end.
The current mortality rate of 'abscess disease' is about 5%-10%. This is a very high number. Currently, there are more than 100,000 people suffering from the disease in many refugee camps, which means that thousands of people will die from the disease.
It was precisely because he had seen so many tragedies that Jason, after hearing about an outstanding doctor, took time out of his busy schedule to recruit the talented and humble doctor - and ended up getting even greater benefits, but that's another story.
However, Jason Morgan is still optimistic about the future.
As those temporarily recruited medical staff and barefoot doctors gained more experience in treating abscesses, even the dumbest people could summarize some objective laws and further optimize the use of medicines and the process of caring for patients.
Moreover, a new medical manual with the words "Fuxing City Research Institute" printed on it was soon distributed to him. It explained in detail how to use medicine for patients with abscess disease, what the symptoms are at each stage, how to change the medication plan accordingly during the transition stage, the specific methods of isolation, and the symbols to confirm the patient's recovery...
This manual is much more reliable than the 'Barefoot Manual' they used before.
He knew that this new researcher was actually led by Mr. Hu Ke, whom he had "recruited".
He was very relieved.
Although, there was a misunderstanding before and it turned out that Mr. Hu was not a doctor; but in fact, the role he played was greater than that of a simple doctor.
All in all, the situation will definitely improve as medical staff have more experience and the new treatment manual from the Fuxing City Research Institute.
In addition to the two tasks of autumn harvest and abscess treatment, he just received news that he had a new task:
Cooperate with the Central Army Group that has already moved south, cooperate with the military observers of the Mutual Aid Association, and assemble the militia on the spot. All militia groups should be placed under the command of Brigadier General Yan Fangxu of the Central Army Group and be dispatched by the headquarters.
In addition, the mutual aid society should mobilize all plantations to supply grain to the army on the spot after completing the autumn harvest as part of the material supply for the southward march.
He has distributed the relevant notices to various places through the mutual aid association system.
However, the implementation has not been ideal.
The decision-making body of the Mutual Aid Committee is the Committee Meeting. Most of these so-called committee members are large plantation owners who still maintain order, and a small number are former robber leaders who have been whitewashed and are now militia leaders.
None of the league’s officials are full-time members, and their duties are basically to serve as observers.
When the mutual aid society was established, it was to eliminate the vigilance of plantation owners and militia leaders.
Originally, they still had time to slowly dissipate the power of the Mutual Aid Association, but the sudden and premature action of the Alliance Headquarters disrupted their plans.
Today's plantation owners and militia leaders still have great influence and actual power.
However, a considerable number of people resisted the alliance's full southward advance.
Today, the Mutual Aid Committee is in chaos.
Jason Morgan has to figure this out.
