461: Chapter 461 No chance if you are late

Oriental Chen has already provided a basic training plan.

Theoretical Class: Various performance indicators of mechs, methods of operating mechs…

All knowledge related to mechs has been compiled into videos for them to observe and learn on their own.

Basic Class: Moving forward, backward, jumping, running, turning…

Using the knowledge learned in the professional class, practice these basic operations one by one until they can be skillfully controlled, like an arm directing a finger.

Advanced Class: Learn a combat technique.

Each pilot practices the corresponding combat technique based on their preferred direction. For this, they can seek guidance from coaches proficient in combat. As for those who don't understand combat, that's impossible. If they didn't understand combat, they wouldn't have been selected as pilots.

Combat Class: Battle practice.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth. Whether it's a mule or a horse, take it out and train it.

This is the final stage, and it will also be the stage where everyone grows the fastest.

At the same time, inside the underground main base of the Ulan Neutral Zone.

The Special Operations Team has also begun training in mech operation.

Since Lu Guyun, the mayor of Bingcheng City, Songjiang Province, pledged allegiance to Oriental Chen in March, six full months have passed.

Over such a long period, Lu Guyun has successively brought over more than two million people from Songjiang Province.

Several cities have been emptied by him, and even the mayors of those cities have followed him under his sugar-coated bullets.

Why were those Settlements willing to give up the chance to be local emperors and follow Lu Guyun to the Ulan Neutral Zone?

There are two main reasons.

One is the geographical location.

The Guandong Three Provinces have been repeatedly secretly controlled by the Great Sun Country several times, and everyone feels insecure. The Huaguo Military Region does not interfere, and the Great Sun Country is not to be provoked, so it's better to stay far away.

The second is the weather.

Songjiang Province is located in the northernmost part of Huaguo, with low temperatures year-round, and this year it's even lower, with the highest temperature not exceeding 20 degrees Celsius.

Low temperatures aside, there are no heating conditions and not enough food.

Being the head of a Settlement might seem like having a bit of power, but if they don't even eat as well as ordinary people in the Ulan region, what's the point of being a local emperor?

Combining these two reasons, plus the good conditions offered by Lu Guyun, they simply followed.

If there's one Settlement, there will be a second.

For a time, migration to the Ulan region seemed to become a trend.

Inner Mongolia Province, Hulun City.

"Mayor Lu, how many people have migrated now?" asked Sun Zhuo, the mayor of Hulun City.

"Mayor Sun, there should be around two million," Lu Guyun replied casually.

"Mayor Lu, can the Ulan Country accommodate so many people?" Sun Zhuo asked curiously in a low voice.

"Mayor Sun, be careful with your words. It's not called Ulan Country now, it's called Ulan Neutral Zone," Lu Guyun reminded him.

"Oh, right, right, Ulan Neutral Zone," Sun Zhuo quickly corrected himself.

His posture was very low, completely devoid of the arrogance he had when he first met Lu Guyun.

"We've been dealing with each other for so long, I won't hide it from you, the underground base in Batuo City alone can accommodate at least 4 million people," Lu Guyun said with a proud expression.

"That many!?" Sun Zhuo swallowed.

"Calm down, calm down, this is just the beginning. It's said that two more sub-bases are under construction!" Lu Guyun spoke as if whispering a secret.

But the action looked somewhat like a deliberate leak of information.

"Good heavens! How can they develop so fast?" Sun Zhuo asked curiously.

"Do you even need to think about it? All the material business in the entire Huaguo belongs to them. The Huatong Chamber of Commerce, Huatong Construction, and the Mercenary Guild all have to listen to them. Do you think it wouldn't be fast?" Lu Guyun rolled his eyes at him, looking down on him for being inexperienced.

When Sun Zhuo heard the four words "Huatong Construction," his heart twitched violently.

Although he thought the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was quite remarkable, it was at most a middleman. But Huatong Construction was truly impressive! In the past six months, almost everything rumored outside was about Huatong Construction.

It is said that the underground bases of the four major Military Regions—East, West, South, and North—are all being constructed by Huatong Construction. Moreover, they started construction simultaneously. And they also simultaneously undertake Settlement projects, which simply means their strength is boundless.

How much manpower and resources must be invested in that?

In these times, Sun Zhuo asked himself if he even had the ability to get a single truckload of cement.

With this comparison, the difference in superiority and inferiority was immediately apparent.

Such an impressive entity actually has to listen to the Ulan Neutral Zone, which shows how much stronger their own power is.

Now, he also understood.

Staying in Hulun City was truly meaningless.

If Lu Guyun hadn't sent him good goods every now and then, he probably would be living worse than a beggar right now.

Now, while the Ulan region is still absorbing population, he absolutely had to get on this train.

Any later and he probably wouldn't have the chance.

"Um, Lu brother, how many more people do you need to absorb?" Sun Zhuo asked.

Lu Guyun looked at him but didn't speak.

He knew that the long-term foreshadowing had taken effect.
