Chapter 383 Relocation and Settlement
After the new order was issued, refugees from surrounding areas were driven to gather here. Now he has to manage thousands of people, wandering around the camp.
You can do it. Bart took a deep breath and began to prepare for the appeasement of these refugees and migration.
The first is to group them. After he asked everyone to pack up their belongings, he asked these people to gather together according to their place of origin. The guards put up flags of different colors, and Bart shouted with a loudspeaker: "Those from Condé, go under the white flag! Those from Calais, blue flag!. Those who don't have a corresponding flag in their hometown, go where there are fewer people!"
Letting the refugees continue to migrate will cause panic and escape, so dividing them according to their place of origin will make people feel like they have found an "organization" and have a sense of belonging, which will slightly stabilize the emotions of these people.
But we can't let the villagers completely connect with each other and make trouble and make demands together. So the next step is to form groups of about 20 people, allowing families and fellow villagers to be included in the same group. Once the groups are divided, they cannot communicate with members of other groups at will. The organized groups were immediately pulled to the edge of the camp and isolated from each other by soldiers.
Finally, there was the communication problem. Even if they were divided into groups, there were thousands of people scattered around. If everyone came directly to Bart or the commander when they had something to do, wouldn't it be a mess if they kept calling him "sir"? Next, he asked each group to select a team leader and gave him a wooden sign to hang around his neck. Only those with the wooden sign could leave the group and report problems within the group to the guards and Bart.
Although it was a simple two-step grouping, it took until almost noon. When it was time to eat, he took out food to continue to stabilize the emotions of the refugees: "Don't worry, don't worry, only those who have been divided into groups can eat! The team leader will lead the food for his own group. Today we have bread and milk porridge, and we won't give it to you without your identity card!"
Bread is a long-lost hard product. In the past few days, the kingdom only gave porridge to keep these people afloat. When it was time to recover their strength and move, they finally had black bread to eat, and even milk was added to the porridge.
It was obviously ordinary food, but it made people almost cry.
According to Bart's plan, he also used the resources of his own chamber of commerce and dispatched several large carts. If there are injured or disabled people, they are allowed to ride. This move aroused great favor among the refugees. The behaviors that Bart worried about, such as falsely reporting illness and scrambling to get on the bus, did not occur. Several cars pulled up the few remaining old and weak people.
After making preparations, all the talents were able to set off and headed for Kempson further north.
During this period, he received unexpected support.
An armed force descended from the sky. There were not only female soldiers in the team, but also a short little girl at the head. However, she saluted Bart neatly, which was more standard than Bart's military salute: "Sir, Tanya, the captain of the third squad of the Air Knight Squadron, reports to you! We are ordered to cooperate with you to escort the target!"
"Well" Bart was very curious about the new soldiers secretly trained by the kingdom. None of them had the ability to cast spells, but they relied on the large backpacks on their backs, that is, the alchemical devices, to achieve flight. Looking at the instrument tied to his wrist, Bart felt familiar.
Looking at the shoulder badge, this Tanya was actually a warrant officer. She held a new hunting rifle, and the gun body was almost as tall as herself.
Bart was very interested in the new equipment. He thought Amelia, who loved riding horses, would definitely like flying. But now he had an impulse to ask how old the team leader was.
What Flying Scouts?
But Bart still resisted asking such an offensive question and took the time to get down to business: "Okay, please cooperate with us to patrol the surroundings of the migration team, pay attention to the refugees who have left the team, and report to our commander in time."
"Yes! The team has a supply vehicle and a passenger vehicle. Please allow the two vehicles to join the team. The supply vehicle is loaded with spare equipment and fuel, and ground forces are needed to assist in protection."
Now the Sky Knights have initially explored a complete system. Each team is equipped with two to three logistics carriages-one for repair parts, mobile devices and transmutation dust, and one for resting members after the shift. If there are no ground troops, add a truck for ordinary supplies and ammunition.
In other words, they are highly mobile armed forces that are infinitely close to "motorization".
"Got it."
Then the refugees from Valois opened their eyes. First, Bart used magic to clear the dirt and branches that occupied the road, and there were always a few people beside him shuttling through the woods. When crossing the forest, the air knights would be blocked from flying in the sky and could not monitor the refugees, and the transmutation dust would be consumed quickly, which was not cost-effective.
So except for the team members responsible for scouting the surrounding situation and moving up and down the canopy layer, the other air knights responsible for escorting the team used mobile devices to take off in a short time, and quickly jumped between the trunk layer and the lower canopy layer on the thick branches.
For the magic and high magic of the military mages of the Kingdom of Bain, the refugees of Valois were shocked at first, and then numb, except for some order believers with firm beliefs who found that they seemed to have arrived in a magic cave.
Of course, I believe that when they see the cramped and small board houses, but equipped with strange pipes - some valves can be turned to clean water, some can be turned to gas for cooking, and some can be turned to provide heat to keep the house warm. Such houses are neatly arranged in the newly opened area, and they will definitely exclaim what the real "devil's cave" is.
The arrival of the first wave of refugees brought the first impact to Kempson, and the first to bear the brunt was Andre, who was stationed at the steel plant to "steer" for Rorschach. Now he has more things to manage.
Rorschach received a letter from his good apprentice in Lanster. On the surface, it was a report of the recent situation, but in fact, the words were asking for help: If you don't come again, your students will become exhausted social animals with hairlines retreating five centimeters.
In order to prevent Andre, who worked hard, from dying, Rorschach quickly sent his clone to arrive.
At this time, Andre was as pale as a piece of paper: "Teacher, the training of interns has been completed, and they are now on duty.
"The debugging phase of all blast furnaces has ended. This is the production curve of the past twenty days. Please take a look.
"The new phase of the 'housing project' has already moved in 237 households, and there are about 300 migrant workers living in collective dormitories.
"There are refugees who want to build the chapel of the Lord of Order. The application has been submitted to the Autonomous Committee and is now waiting for your opinion.
"Because the employees in the factory are all engaged in heavy labor and need to consume more meat, the food consumption rate is faster than expected. Do we need to re-establish the food ration standards for the new population? The steel plant also wants to raise more livestock for meat.
"Hannah and William (the second son of the young noble who was also discovered to have magical talent) want to see you. They have finished reading the basic tutorial and asked when you will start teaching magic. In addition, Hannah's classmate also wants to see you, saying that it is an experiment."
In fact, some problems should be handled by Hasse and others, but the old hands don't want to take responsibility when they encounter things they are not sure about, and they also trouble Andre, which makes the young man exhausted.
Rorschach sighed: "I know, Andre, what you need now is sleep. "
