Without wasting too much time, the Gospel Reclamation Corps had crossed the border wall and entered its own territory.
Just as Bill and Joanna described, there is a lot of farmland here, and you can see farms with barns along the way. The agricultural resources are very rich.
After entering Ross Town, we found the field team led by Nicholas at the cathedral in the center of the town.
"Thank you, Nicholas, thank you for staying here these days." Iger thanked Nicholas, "How are your lives?"
"Not bad." Nicholas said, "This is a peaceful countryside. In the past few days, except for tumbleweeds, I haven't seen anything passing by here."
"Is life convenient? How do you provide drinking water? How do you provide fuel?" In fact, these are what Iger cares about.
"There are some problems with drinking water." Nicholas said: "There is a water station here, but there is no electricity, so we can't run it. Fortunately, there is a small river not far away, right over there. We use the car to go there every day to collect water.
For fuel, we have plenty of liquefied gas tanks."
"Come on, Captain, this is a map of the town for you. I drew it myself." Nicholas opened a piece of white paper. On the white paper was a hand-drawn map that was as exquisite as a printed one.
"Look, Captain." Nicholas pointed at the map, then pointed to where the north was, and adjusted the map for Egger. "This is our position, the cathedral. Apart from this defensive point, the entire town is undefendable.
.
This is the police station, which is very small. This is the seat of the town government, which is also very small. There is no fire station, school, or hospital in the town. I guess the town has limited financial resources, so it cannot maintain the existence of these institutions."
Egg nodded.
In American cities and towns, no institutions are standard, in fact, even the government can be absent.
In addition to federal taxes, there is no state income tax in this area, and local taxes are pitiful. Because there are less taxes, there are naturally fewer institutions that take money to do things.
This is relatively common in the red states of America. After all, the folk customs here are relatively tough and they are particularly good at handling their own affairs.
"Are there any resources that need attention?" Egg asked Nicholas.
"Yes." Nicholas pointed to the map and said to Egger: "Look, I have marked it for you on the map.
There is an automobile and mechanical repair shop here. I took a look and found that it was quite complete with lifts and machine tools, and the tool wall was also full of tools.
And here, there's a grocery store here.
When we went there, the goods in the front row of the grocery store had been cleared away, but the back store was filled with all kinds of fertilizers. I looked at the price list of the grocery store, and there were originally some goods in the grocery store.
Corn seeds, but I didn’t find them, they were probably eaten as food by the visiting survivors.”
The seeds of modern agriculture are completely different from the grains commonly eaten. The grains all look plump and shiny, but the seeds are usually small and shriveled, and the taste is very poor.
Generally, people don't eat seeds, but everyone gets hungry sometimes.
"Is there anything else worth paying attention to?" Egger continued to ask Nicholas.
"No, Captain." Nicholas said, "I haven't searched all the houses, but it seems that some rooms have been ransacked.
By the way, I forgot to mention that.
The gas station is here, I think you need to take a look here first, there are unexpected surprises."
Iger didn't bother to ask Nicholas what the surprise was. He shook hands with Nicholas gratefully and said, "Welcome to visit Ross Town often in the future. This is also your home."
"Thank you, captain." Nicholas said to Egg, "If nothing happens, I will withdraw with the team members.
During the field work these days, everyone's nerves have been tense enough, so we need to go back and relax."
"goodbye."
"goodbye!"
After watching Nicholas and others leave, Egger entered the cathedral with the hand-drawn map.
This is a magnificent cathedral. It is located in the center of Ross Town, which is divided by tic-tac-toe streets. It is also the tallest building in Ross Town.
In addition to the three-story chapel, there is a circle of two-story ancillary buildings surrounding the chapel, and the church is uniquely made of stone and concrete structure.
In areas lacking the ability to make bricks, many buildings are made of stone instead of bricks, making the buildings stronger.
The bell tower of the church is built on a two-story foundation, so it is as high as five stories. Standing on the bell tower, you can clearly see everything happening around Ma Pingchuan.
The Church of the Holy Light occupied Ross Town after entering it, and Bill and Nicholas used another part.
Bill did not touch anything about the Holy Light Salvation Church.
Turning over things left by others is an extremely dangerous thing, because many people leave some tampering with their own materials in order to prevent them from being stolen.
It is more common to put a bottle of poisonous water. When the intruder feels thirsty, he picks up the drinking water and drinks it, and he will be poisoned and die on the spot.
This is common, but there are also some uncommon ones, such as placing booby traps in your personal belongings, which will explode when others touch them without others knowing.
Although this batch of personal belongings was also destroyed, no one dared to touch the next batch of personal belongings.
These problems will naturally be solved with the arrival of the reclamation team. They must know whether there are any traps in their own things.
So today Egger's job is to put this cathedral into operation, and he is assigned to the third brigade.
After a week of training, Iger discovered that dividing everyone into four teams was not the best way, because in this way, all the work would fall on him alone. If that didn't work, he would be exhausted.
Father Locke has Sister Maria as his deputy, and Iger naturally appoints Joanna as his deputy. Iger is not afraid of being laughed at because he is running a mom-and-pop shop. What’s wrong with mom-and-pop shops? Mom-and-pop shops are the secret to entrepreneurial success.
Joanna was still young and not stupid. She had poor academic performance in the past. First, she was affected by family conditions and had no intention of studying. Second, she knew that she did not have the financial resources to study in college, so she might as well work part-time to get by.
Joanna has just turned 17 years old. It is a good time to study. She should learn more cultural knowledge so that she can better manage in the future.
Except for Joanna, Iger split up the first team.
Sandra, a high school philosophy teacher, was also appointed by Iger as his deputy. Iger plans to gradually transfer the internal affairs management work to her and make Sandra the general manager of internal affairs.
In addition to decentralizing housekeeping, Ige also decentralized other tasks to a large extent. Otherwise, he would not be able to do so many things.
There are three people on the board of directors. One director stays on every week and the other two can arrange their own work.
Therefore, board members are not only selected based on their seniority, but also based on their combat effectiveness. Once any problems arise at the base camp, the remaining members of the board of directors must keep the situation under control.
After this idea was settled, Iger, Joanna, and Shandora were in a group, Erica, Pide was in a group, and Bill and Kate were in a group.
Each week, these three groups of people lead a team of people to carry out work according to their own ideas. Iger is mainly responsible for construction.
There is no way. Among the three people on the board of directors, Iger is probably a little better at production and management. This is also the general among the short ones. Iger has returned to his "best" management position.
Erica's team is equivalent to the internal security team. They conduct intensive training for half a day every day, and then carry out other internal work in the afternoon.
Bill led the team on field trips.
Bill's ability to lead his own bodyguard across half of America shows that he has very strong field capabilities, and he is definitely worthy of Egger's trust.
The right way is to promote virtuous people without avoiding relatives, but now it is even more important to seek nepotism. Although the approach of the evangelical team seems to be very reasonable, it is actually to fix the butt first, and then look for the brain from the butt.
Anyone who doesn't do this may have grass growing on their graves.
Every week, the three people on the board of directors rotate the people in their hands, so that everyone can get unified training in the cycle of "internal office, security, outdoor office, and internal office".
This kind of circular allocation mechanism is more about letting everyone get familiar with each other and trying to screen out useful people.
During the interrogation, Iger discovered that the division of labor in the Holy Light Salvation Church was very simple. Except for Blind John, the only people with positions were the tough guy Matthew and Scar Miles. The other people all did whatever they were called.
Work assignment is completely random.
Of course, maybe this is the characteristic of other religious groups, which can give full play to everyone's subjective initiative, but Iger will definitely not use this method.
Today, Egger was assigned to the third team. The captain of the third team was a man whom Egger found very difficult to communicate with.
This difficulty in communication is not a spiritual barrier, but a language barrier.
The captain of the third team is Lal Singh.
That day, Iger asked each team to elect their own captain. Sure enough, the result was just as Iger imagined, with the captains being quite polarized.
Except for the captain of the first team, the dark-skinned and spirited young man Under, the captains of the second and third teams are all kind-hearted gentlemen.
Naturally, Egger will not veto the selection results of each brigade. The captain's ability to perform his duties is the first priority, and the captain's personal ability is attached to the entire brigade.
Iger knew it when I played WoW in the past. Many times, the leader and general commander of a 40-man land reclamation group are often not the ones with the most skillful operations and the highest output. However, if you want to successfully open up land, you must have an extremely good leader and commander.
Commander-in-Chief.
So after a week of intensive training, Egg promoted all three acting captains to captains, which is a recognition of their work ability.
But what Iger never expected was that it would be so difficult to communicate with Lal in actual contact.
"Brother Xiao will set it up, and the Duke's seat in Jintian will set up a sound mill."
After hearing this string of curry-flavored e-texts, Iger immediately went crazy.
