How am I still alive?

Chapter 1952 A generous move

No matter how anxious Lu is, some things obviously cannot be rushed.

Most of the forces in his hands are so-called "aliens". Under such circumstances, if he directly lets them work on the security of the ancient city, God knows what will happen.

Many orc tribes had no concept of law before. Their worldview that nothing will happen as long as no one dies or only a few people die is not suitable for this "overly peaceful" era.

Yes, it is too peaceful. Even though people in this world have many dissatisfactions and anxieties, and even feel that the whole world is rushing towards the end of the world like a doomsday train, compared with the world that Lu has experienced, this place can be called a paradise in all aspects.

Such a difference in worldview will make many orcs see some "serious criminal cases" as just fights or even games, especially the differences in many social customs, such as the attitude towards women and children.

"Ah, you're not allowed to hit your wife? You're not allowed to kick a puppy running around?"

At least for now, these people cannot be sent to the streets to work.

However, some things can be started.

"Lieutenant General Lu Ping'an, on behalf of the Gucheng Military Region, I would like to thank you for your support!! Thank you so much!"

If the other party hadn’t told him, Lu Ping’an would hardly have remembered his identity as a retired lieutenant general.

However, this identity as a retired military officer, with all the medals corresponding to being a war hero, is quite advantageous in negotiations with the East Country's military.

As long as Lu doesn't act too badly, not only will he be regarded as one of our own, he will even be treated as a retired superior.

And now, Lu Ping'an is really doing good things.

"Don't worry, use them to death. You can use them as cannon fodder, rearguard action, or bluff tactics as you like."

In the background of the speech, there were trucks with boxes of goods and orcs jumping off them to move their bodies.

One can tell at a glance that those iron-like muscles are of high-quality combat power. No wonder the people in the Ancient City Military District are so happy.

This is the secret place in the suburbs where Lu Ping'an had his trials, and it is also the guard area for the local garrison.

Some things change with the times, but some people and some regions are difficult to change.

Those secret realms that have become exotic, those exotic entrances and exits that have been opened one by one on the earth, have always been the world's bleeding wounds, and the defenders can only continue to add fuel to the fire. In the East Country, most of the casualties are borne by soldiers, which involves at least 60% of the military force during non-war periods.

Lu Ping'an had been trained there before. It was a complex alien world like an underground maze, and the stone dragon monsters in it were quite annoying. If you let one out, it would only take a few minutes to completely destroy a street or even a block.

The garrison forces here are not all military. After all, some foreign lands are porous like honeycomb coal, and your military cannot block them all. The main defense force of some small secret realms is "experienced professionals". If they want to make progress, they need to find such divided areas. At the same time, they can also obtain various bounty bonuses from the official.

The military's strength is mainly used to guard the high-intensity battle lines. At the same time, when the entrances and exits of other small secret realms cannot be blocked, personnel are dispatched to block them.

How could there not be casualties on the battlefield? Every year, there are a lot of casualties.

As the Earth's strength has continued to increase over the years, our defense capabilities have increased a lot, and it has indeed become a lot easier, but there are still battle losses and pressure.

"You must be joking. How could we use your people as cannon fodder?"

The military district's contact person is a colonel and should be one of the local supervisors.

But obviously, he still lacked understanding of Lu Ping'an's abilities.

"I'm not kidding. They are so dirty. I bought insurance for them."

Just within this special zone, Lu Ping'an can continuously expand his divine domain and make these orcs immortal in a sense.

And as Lu Ping'an planned, these orc warriors would build closer relationships with other comrades, learn common sense, and understand the concepts of protection and life and death during the battle.

"They are just sitting there doing nothing and will become a source of social instability. Let them have some fun here."

Lu Ping'an said this with a smile, but if the orc warriors sent out were enough to easily wipe out the entire military district, people who knew the matter would know the importance of "this is just a casual play".

And this "casual" attitude is also deliberate. This is not official/formal support, it's just that these people have nothing to do and take the initiative to find a place to play.

In the early stages of reform, disguising it as a civil act was a fairly effective trick.

Once it is done and the new normal has been determined, then documents and publicity will be issued to make it a practice that can be followed and imitated. This is considered the formal reform process of the East Country.

It's done, it's reform, it's messed up. Ah, did something happen? It's just a local civil behavior, and the relevant offenders will be dealt with immediately.

"In short, we will remember and be grateful. Your trading place has given too many of our warriors the possibility of improvement and even a second life. In short, we will remember you this time."

"Well, just remember this, and don't report it. I don't want to become a typical example of warlord separatism and local garrison in Shien."

"You're joking."

"I'm not kidding."

This is no joke. To put it in a small way, Lu Ping'an's behavior is supporting the security of his hometown. To put it in a big way, it is interfering with the local garrison. If it escalates infinitely, it will be a crime punishable by the death penalty.

In a sense, this is also a test, a test of Wanjing's attitude towards reform, and also a test of Wanjing's tolerance for the special economic zone.

And judging from the current reaction, nothing really happened.

Perhaps, the higher-ups also hope that local forces will provide more manpower in terms of public security and guarding. After all, the biggest beneficiaries are always the civilians.

"Not only that, a significant increase in public security will also lead to an increase in business."

In Lu Ping'an's view, "safety" itself is a very valuable commodity investment, and the returns are visible to the naked eye.

"When other areas are not safe enough, our area is relatively safe, which can bring a lot of investment and foreign immigrants. How is the negotiation with the real estate company?"

“The license is in hand, but buying the land is a bit difficult.”

"Then we will implement Plan B, which is to focus on developing wasteland. We will grab some land from foreign lands."

After experiencing too many explorations in foreign lands, Lu Ping'an's team is made up of all kinds of people. The entire group has indeed been involved in real estate in foreign lands, providing security guarantees, creating safe zones, and then selling real estate, so they are quite experienced.

It is quite delicate to bring business back to the home country now.

"Can we earn back our costs? In terms of investment in public security support?"

"You must be kidding. We can make a killing!"

It seems that the people in the business department are still quite confident.

Real estate has always been a place with huge profits, and those "special zones" will attract more and more outsiders, and then the prices of real estate will surely rise wildly.

As for whether anyone dares to live in the newly snatched safe zone, Lu Ping'an's strength is enough to make it safer than the urban area. What's more, there are a large number of outsiders in the local area, and they are really not picky.

"After this wave, the size of the ancient city will at least triple within three years."
