Captain Garcia finally stepped into the mayor's office again. Of course, he was with Li Yu.

The mayor asked Li Yu to sit down, and he was busy looking for the fine wine that he had hidden for a long time. But at this time, Li Yu stopped him.

"I'm not going to drink, let's talk about business. The reason why I came with you is because you just said that you can help me recruit soldiers. So, what is your solution?"

Li Yu sat on the sofa, folding his hands on his chest, looking quite serious.

The mayor bent over and stood in front of him, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead as he said: "Our campfire town has less than a thousand people in total. It is said to be a town, but in fact it is more like a small village. Master, you want to recruit troops

, No matter what, we still need a hundred young adults, right? But the total number of men in our town is only five hundred. Excluding the children and the elderly, there are still two to three hundred left."

Li Yu: "You mean, you won't let me recruit soldiers here?"

The mayor quickly shook his head: "How is that possible! Bonfire Town was created in compliance with the orders of the association. I was also appointed by the association to sit in this position. The problem is that the town requires farming in the fields.

The farmers need to contact merchants in other towns and villages and need workers... these are all young and middle-aged people."

Li Yu said expressionlessly: "Tell me directly what your solution is. Stop beating around the bush with me."

The mayor apologized and said with a smile: "Isn't our Buenos Aires occupied? There were a lot of Gauchos grazing in the surrounding grassland. Those bastards from the Kingdom of God forced the Gauchos to convert.

Many tribes among them ran away if they didn't obey. I have been hearing during this time that some tribes were held captive by the Kingdom of God and turned into slaves, and some tribes fled from Buenos Aires..."

Li Yu: "You mean, let me find the Gauchos and recruit them."

The mayor nodded vigorously: "We haven't seen guns in our town for many years, and there are really not many people who know how to fight. Mr. Master, since you want to recruit soldiers, you must recruit young and strong young men who are not afraid of death.

?This is what Gauchos are like, just what you need."

Li Yu was silent.

In his impression of the old times, he only remembered that the so-called "Gauchos" were a mixture of white people who colonized America and local Indians. They were influenced by colonial culture and retained some Indian traditions. Apart from that, in fact,

Not much understanding.

Li Yu suddenly asked: "Do Gauchos value freedom the most?"

The mayor nodded: "Yes, that's why they can't stand the rule of the pseudo-god kingdom."

Li Yu continued to ask: "What is the current religious belief of the Gaucho people?"

Mayor: "It's a small sect inherited from the old times. It seems to be called Catholicism... I don't know much about this. You can ask Captain Garcia. He has dealt with many Gauchos."

Is that a small sect?

Li Yu couldn't help but wanted to laugh, but he held it back anyway.

Captain Garcia stood nearby and said: "The Gauchos really can't stand the Kingdom of God, and they can live a good life grazing and wandering on the grasslands, so the Kingdom of God can't do anything to them."

The mayor quickly added: "But this time is different. I heard that the Kingdom of God sent out wolf-like terror machines that could constantly search the grasslands, forcing the Gauchos to flee further. Some

It’s almost even Patagonia.”

Li Yu: "But there is also a problem with the Gauchos. They advocate freedom, so it is easy to disobey orders in the army, right?"

Captain Garcia nodded in agreement: "That's true. Gauchos are difficult to command."

The mayor opened his mouth to speak, but held back the words.

Li Yu looked at him and was silent for a long time.

As a result, the mayor did not dare to speak and could only stand there and wait for the mage to speak.

Finally, Li Yu said: "I may not recruit troops in your town, but this also means that you failed to fulfill the obligations of the settlements affiliated to the association. I may write this in the mission report."

There was more cold sweat on the mayor's forehead: "We are willing to fulfill our obligations, really... Otherwise, I can try recruiting for you again? Maybe there are young adults with relatively free time who can join your team."

Li Yu smiled half-heartedly: "You mean, let me take away all the burdens of idleness?"

The mayor's face looked a little bitter: "Of course not, I want to make you satisfied."

"I won't embarrass you anymore. Let's do this. I will set up a support office in Bonfire Town, and senior soldiers will take charge of the situation here. The office will contact me at any time to report the situation. If there is any need for assistance,

Yes, he will also make requests on my behalf."

With that said, Li Yu took out a brand new mini-submachine gun and stuffed it into Captain Garcia's hand.

The old captain took the shot and gave an unambiguous military salute: "Promise to complete the mission!"

The mayor wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief: "No problem, of course there is no problem in this. Bonfire Town will become your most solid rear."

————

When Li Yu and the two old soldiers walked out of the mayor's small building, they saw a group of townspeople gathered around the square, looking curiously.

Li Yu didn't react to the attention of everyone and acted as usual. But Captain Garcia felt a little uncomfortable. Because his right boot was open, and every step he took, he could see the military green socks inside.

Fortunately, the torture of the old captain's face did not last long, and he returned to his home just a few hundred meters away.

The curious townspeople who were watching couldn't break into the old captain's house, so they had to disperse.

Within a few minutes, Pujia and Amaranda also came. They did not act with Li Yu just now, but stood on the roof or in the alley, observing the town's reaction.

Pujia couldn't wait to ask: "What did the mayor say? Does he want to help us recruit soldiers?"

Li Yu shook his head: "He suggested that we go find the Gauchos. Those Gauchos who have been oppressed by the Kingdom of God and have occupied their living space are a more suitable source of troops."

Pujia was a little surprised: "What happened to this mayor? He is a local official appointed by the association. Why doesn't he cooperate with our recruitment?"

Amaranda said: "Because it is difficult to cooperate. I found that there are very few people in Bonfire Town, and the technical level is not high, and the degree of automation is very low. This means that most people in the town have jobs.

, can’t spare manpower.”

Li Yu nodded: "If the mayor is just for profit or power, I will definitely not let him go. But now it seems that the association's help for this town is indeed very limited, and recruiting soldiers will be difficult.

.And, since it’s a conscription, I hope to recruit people who are willing to fight for what they have lost.”

"Things lost..." Pujia couldn't help but murmured.

Amaranda concluded: "This town is too remote and too peaceful. As long as they have not seen the destruction of the Kingdom of God, the people here will not have the desire to fight."
Chapter completed!
